Journey to the head

In the clear light held in Tan Yunxing's hand was a scroll the length of a palm.

The scroll is made of white jade, and the silk is shimmering. A soft light emanates from the scroll, and countless tiny talismans flicker in the light. A vast and mighty aura spreads outward.

At this moment, an indescribable feeling of oppression surged into everyone's heart. Everyone held their breath, their hearts beating like drums, and looked at the small scroll with awe. Some low-level monks even fainted with their eyes rolled back.

This is - the true immortal!
They are completely different from mortals in terms of life level. They are invisible, undetectable and elusive to mortals. They are immortals!

Faced with the things of the true immortals, even the True Lord Lianxu was moved.

He was dressed in a green robe, shining brightly, with faint images of the sun, moon and stars flickering on his sleeves. His black hair was tied up with a green vine, and he looked like a young man of about 34 or 35 years old, with fair skin and handsome looks. His short beard added a bit of elegance, but judging from his facial features and temperament, he was also a decisive person.

He just stood there, and ripples gently spread in the space around him, blocking out all prying eyes and further demonstrating his true power, which made people admire him very much.

At this moment, Zhenjun stared at the scroll, a respectful look appeared on his face, and he was much more polite to Tan Yunxing.

"I am the patrol envoy of Taiyi Paradise, Master Heming. Can you let me verify the token in your hand?"

Tan Yunxing nodded proudly, released a little spiritual power from his palm, and handed the scroll over.

Zhenjun Heming took it carefully, a green light emanated from his palm, and he rubbed the scroll carefully. There was a glow between his brows, and it was obvious that he was also using his spiritual sense to perceive it carefully.

After a moment, he let out a breath and returned the scroll with both hands.

"This aura is indeed from the Seventeenth Heavenly Lord, the Heavenly Lord of the Kingdom of Mighty Wisdom and Wisdom."

"This fairy messenger was rude just now, please don't blame me."

Qiancheng Lingjun, Xichan Taoist, Lianyi Zhenren and others who had been observing this place carefully all felt a chill in their hearts and felt a chill all over their bodies!

Oops!

The Forbidden Religion actually has such a background! During the battle just now, I faintly heard Tan Yunxing say that the Forbidden Religion was following the order of the Ming King to annihilate Cangzhou and establish a religious country on earth. Is this actually true? !

No wonder the forbidden sect is so brutal and the evil sky curtain is so strange and powerful that it is beyond everyone's comprehension. Is this all the result of direct instruction and arrangement by the true immortals?
At this moment, everyone was confused.

After fighting hard until now, more than half of his golden elixir has been lost, and the loss is heavy and cannot be made up. However, he has always believed that he was fighting to suppress the rebellion and defend Cangzhou, and the other party was just a sect that obtained the Tianjun spell by chance, so there is always hope of winning.

As a result, we now know that all of this was instructed by the Heavenly Sovereign. Even the last hope, the almighty overlord of the Yuheng Continent, Taiyi Paradise, has to be polite to it!

Where is the road ahead and where is the future?
True Lord Heming continued, "I have served the Four Heavenly Lords in Taiyi Paradise for more than 20,000 years. When we were fighting against the Ten Heavenly Lords in the past, we had a comradeship with the Four Heavenly Lords and the Heavenly Lord of the Curse Kingdom. But I heard that after the victory, the Heavenly Lord of the Curse Kingdom blamed himself for the turmoil in the Ten Worlds and the suffering of all living beings, so he lived in seclusion in the Mysterious Spiritual Heaven and never came out again. Today, I unexpectedly met the Immortal Envoy. I wonder what advice he has for me?"

Tan Yunxing laughed: "How can I guess the deep intentions of the Heavenly Lord? I am just following the Heavenly Lord's order to collect Cangzhou for him. Cangzhou is just a small place, I think Taiyi Paradise will not refuse to give it to you."

At this moment, everyone's heart was in their throat.

Heming Zhenjun was stunned for a moment, then frowned slightly: "The immortal envoy's request is a bit too abrupt. The land of a state concerns the lives of hundreds of millions of mortals and the paths of tens of thousands of cultivators. It is not something that can be given away casually."

His eyes swept across the scene, and in the blink of an eye he saw that the valley was littered with corpses, wailing was everywhere, and the bloody stench was rising to the sky. He frowned even more.

"Besides, Xuanwei Sect's Miaomiao Xuanjun was granted the immortal talisman to guard Cangzhou for my sect. You ignored it and brazenly attacked, causing this tragedy. Even if you argue with the Heavenly Sovereign, this is unreasonable!"

Zhenjun Heming's gaze turned to Lord Miaomiao Xuan.

"Miao Miao Xuan Jun! Please come up and tell me the whole story."

But I saw that Miaomiao Xuanjun was gathered together with several Jindan at this moment, fiddling with something, and I couldn't help but exclaimed.

It turned out that after True Lord Heming entered the venue, several people from the Chongming Alliance also followed in with Lu Qian. They immediately rushed towards True Lord Cangfeng who was lying on the ground!
As soon as Lu Qian saw the situation of Master Cangfeng, he couldn't help but be shocked and angry, while Master Haoran roared, his eyes were bloodshot, and he swung the Qingtian Sword to fight with "Sanbu" to the death.

But the next moment, Akabane Zhenren had already held him down firmly.

"Boy, now that the True Lord is here, if you act rashly, no one can protect you. By then, the Mingyu Sword Sect will be completely without a golden elixir."

Master Haoran stood there in a froze, while "Sanbu" had already stood far away, sneering continuously.

He shouted in grief and indignation, knelt down beside Master Zang Feng, and his eyes suddenly turned red.

Master Zang Feng is no longer alive!
Lu Qian clenched his fists and looked at Master Zang Feng lying on the ground, not knowing where to look.

Both of his arms were lost and his body was severely injured in many places. The worst thing was that all the internal organs and bones in his chest had been crushed to pieces.

The heart has turned into a bloody paste!
When Lu Qian and others arrived, Master Zang Feng's blood was still hot, but his breath was gone!

"Let me see!" At this time a figure suddenly walked over, it was Miaomiao Xuanjun!
It turned out that he was not far away to begin with, and had just taken a Creation Fire Pill. After circulating the medicinal power and regulating his breathing for a while, he had recovered from most of his injuries. However, some of the traumatic curse power was still deeply rooted and could not be removed for the time being, so he was still relatively weak.

He had originally stepped forward to pay his respects to True Lord Heming, but happened to see that he was concentrating on checking the Heavenly Lord's token, so he did not say anything. He was attracted by the movement nearby, and turned around to see Lu Qian and others standing in a circle with sad expressions. He had an idea and walked over immediately.

Lu Qian was a little surprised, but also expectant. He quickly saluted and made room for Miaomiao Xuanjun to check.

Miaomiao Xuanjun only took a look and stopped when he was about to hand over the Creation Fire Pill and sighed.

"His chest was completely shattered, his heart is gone, and the most troublesome thing is that his soul has dissipated, and he has no breath left. There is no way to save him."

Everyone became more and more sad, but Lu Qian bowed to Miaomiao Xuanjun.

"Lord Xuan, his heart has been shattered. The power of the Creation Fire Pill cannot save it, but what about the innate spiritual grass? If the innate energy is infused into it, perhaps the heart can be rebuilt. I hope Lord Xuan will be merciful and save him for his contributions in fighting the evil spirits and entangled with the forbidden sect!"

Master Haoran also quickly prostrated himself on the ground: "Lord Xuan! If you can save my brother, our Mingyu Sword Sect will be grateful and willing to repay you even if it means tying a knot with a grass and giving a ring!"

Miao Miao Xuan Jun shook his head: "Ah, it's not that I can't bear to part with the innate elite. The injury to the body can be repaired, but what can I do about the dissipation of the soul..."

But Lu Qian couldn't get up, so Miaomiao Xuanjun sighed again: "Forget it, since you asked me to, I will use an innate elixir to restore Li Xianyu's body. Even if he can't survive, at least he can be buried with his remains intact to comfort his heroic spirit."

As he spoke, he took out a bottle from his sleeve, which was filled with countless spiritual treasures, and poured out a pill, which was a green and white color. As soon as the pill came out of the bottle, a mighty and indescribable vitality gushed out. Just by smelling it, Lu Qian felt relaxed all over, and even his exhausted spiritual power was restored a little.

Innate elixir, undoubtedly a high-grade innate elixir!
Miaomiao Xuanjun no longer hesitated, and flicked his finger. The bullet, which was neither blue nor white, fell directly into the open chest of Cangfeng Zhenren.

In an instant, surging spiritual energy surged up, and the vigorous vitality made all things sprout! Immediately, Miaomiao Xuanjun stretched out his hand to cast a spell, using his profound cultivation to activate the innate elite.

The mass of rotten flesh inside Master Zang Feng's chest shook slightly. In the shocked and surprised eyes of everyone, it was like the beginning of the universe and the creation of all things, or like time was going backwards and changes were reversed. This mass of rotten and shattered flesh was rapidly condensing and changing. The internal organs were regenerated, the bones were restored, the blood vessels were constructed, the muscles and skin were all grown, the two severed arms also grew back, and the injuries all over the body were healed!
Master Zang Feng appeared in front of everyone with a healthy face again.

But the next moment, Lu Qian also felt depressed and sighed deeply.

This was because Master Zang Feng's heart, which had already recovered, was not beating at all, and the innate spiritual energy surging in his body could not bring back his vitality at all. He was just a corpse with a complete body!

Master Haoran knelt there in a daze, unable to accept such an outcome.

Lu Qian thanked Miaomiao Xuanjun, suppressed his grief and was about to say something to comfort her, when suddenly his eyes blurred and a figure covered in green light stood in front of him.

Space move!

“Miao Miao Xuan Jun, you ignore the important affairs of Cangzhou and what are you doing here?”

When Miaomiao Xuanjun saw who was coming, he immediately bowed to the ground.

"Greetings to Master Heming!"

Lu Qian and others also bowed hurriedly.

Then Miaomiao Xuanjun explained: "Reporting to the True Lord, this person sacrificed himself to defend Cangzhou. I am trying my best to rescue him. Please forgive me for any mistakes."

Master Heming glanced at him and said, "They are already dead, so we have to accept the reality. When a person dies, it is like a light going out, and the soul has already left the body. There is no way to save them."

After saying that, he was about to leave with Miao Miao Xuan Jun. But Lu Qian heard that there seemed to be something unfinished in his words, and he was moved and kowtowed: "Report to the True Lord, this man fought hard and made great contributions to delay time for the arrival of the Immortal Sect and save tens of thousands of cultivators here. I didn't expect that he would die after the True Lord's arrival. How despicable is the method of banning the sect! I hope the True Lord can save him, which will also show the kindness of the Immortal Sect!"

Miaomiao Xuanjun was startled, fearing that Heming Zhenjun would get furious. How could a small golden elixir have the right to speak in front of a Zhenjun!
But he suddenly forgot that Master Heming had just met Lu Qian and had a conversation with Lu Qian.

Just now, Lu Qian flew through the sky, sent out the immortal scroll, and summoned the Taiyi Paradise to come. Heming Zhenjun came here as the patrol envoy on duty, and the first person he asked was Lu Qian who sent out the immortal scroll.

The situation was critical. Lu Qian explained the matter in a few clear and organized words. He requested Master Heming to break the sky curtain to rescue the people of Cangzhou, which left a good impression on Master Heming.

Now, Lu Qian spoke again. There was nothing wrong with the rest of the speech, but the sentence "die after the arrival of the True Lord" was a bit harsh, and it deepened True Lord Heming's dissatisfaction with the forbidden religion.

Even if he is the envoy of the Lord of the Curse Kingdom, it is too overbearing to act like this!

According to legend, the Heavenly King of the Curse Kingdom was compassionate to the heavens and the people, so he was given the title of "Mighty Virtue". How could he send such a person as an envoy? Whether in terms of cultivation or character, he was really far behind.

Thinking of this, Master Heming stopped and said, "You should know, little boy, that once a person dies, his soul will leave the body and dissipate, leaving only a spirit that will enter the Netherworld and be reincarnated in the underworld."

"As long as the soul leaves the body and begins to dissipate, there is no way to be reborn. This is the destiny of the three realms of heaven, earth, and hell, and it cannot be violated."

Lu Qian knew what he said, but he also didn’t know.

This was because theories about the reincarnation of true spirits and the existence of the underworld were only seen in anecdotes in the past, and cultivators at Lu Qian's level had no access to them at all, so he could only be half-believing and half-doubting.

Now it has been verified from the mouth of Master Heming, the rumors are true!

The three realms of heaven, earth and the underworld are clearly divided. Immortals live in the heavenly realm, humans and all races in the world live in countless earthly realms including the Yuanchen realm, and ghosts exist in the underworld or the Nine Netherworlds.

What Lu Qian knew was that, just as True Lord Heming had said, a cultivator's body and soul were closely integrated and the two influenced each other. It was even said that the "lifespan" that cultivators had been searching for but could not fathom was the result of the fusion of the body and soul.

When the soul is injured, the body will also be injured. For example, the cultivators injured by the seven emotions this time all bled from all seven orifices. Before the Nascent Soul is achieved, if the body dies, the soul will immediately leave the body and dissipate.

Only the evil ghost cultivators can capture the spirit under harsh conditions. Under certain circumstances, the spirit can also leave the body and become what ordinary people call "ghosts" or "spirits".

But now, Master Zang Feng's soul has already left his body and disintegrated, which is why Lord Miaomiao Xuan asserted that there is no hope of salvation.

"but--"

Everyone's eyes were focused, and Master Heming said in a deep voice: "This person has cultivated the spiritual power of the sword, and his soul is much tougher than that of ordinary people. Although it has left his body, it has not completely dissipated..."

Is there any hope? Is there any hope?
"I have a little gadget called the Soul Gathering Lamp, which can forcibly gather the dissipating soul and inject it back into the body."

"The price is that after gathering, the spirit can only exist for three more days, and then it will completely collapse, and the true spirit will no longer exist, and there will be no chance of reincarnation!"

"Choose. You still have ten breaths of time." Heming Zhenjun said, "Let him reincarnate naturally, or extend his life for three days before his soul completely dies."

Several people from the Chongming Alliance looked at Lu Qian, but Lu Qian looked at Master Haoran.

Among all the people present, he is the only one qualified to make the decision.

Master Haoran gritted his teeth and suddenly asked, "Master, if you extend your life in this way, will your cultivation still be preserved?"

……

After a while, Master Zang Feng woke up.

Anyone could feel the extremely sharp sword energy from him.

Lu Qian's heart was filled with sorrow. True Man Jindan should have been perfect and flawless, but True Man Cangfeng couldn't even conceal his sword energy at this moment. Everything was irreversible.

“Brother…” Master Haoran’s face was filled with pain and shame, but Master Cangfeng shook his head: “You did the right thing.”

Then he looked at Lu Qian. At that moment, Lu Qian had thousands of words in his heart, but he didn't know where to start, and it finally turned into a deep feeling of powerlessness.

Do you want me to explain? The teleportation of Mirror Flower and Water Moon cannot carry anyone... The moment you were attacked, my spiritual power was exhausted and I couldn't go in to help... I really tried my best, but it was still a step too late... I really don't want to lose any of my companions...

If I were stronger, if I——

"Master Lu, I believe you." Master Cang Feng suddenly smiled, "Also, thank you."
