Chapter 831: Dead Sea Realm, Lord of Life and Death
"The Palace of Eternal Life saves the world and punishes evil."
"Who among us has not heard of the names of the two Taoist immortals?"
"The two Taoist priests entered the Buzhou Realm, and I think their purpose is the same as ours. Now that the true teachings of the Mountain and River Taoist School have been obtained, I wonder what plans you and the other Taoist priests of the Xuan Sect have?"
On the silent and lifeless sea surface, the water seemed to have lost the characteristics of life and movement. The cold and dead sea water had no ripples at all.
Looking up, the silent and deep black water surface, the breath of death and the underworld rises and floats from the water surface, gathering into motionless clouds above the gloomy sky like an epidemic.
And above this sea that seems to be shrouded in plague and despair, white jade and black stone have built a floating platform of black and white, yin and yang.
Above the platform, the yin and yang energies lingered, revealing a distinct black and white realm, in which a Taoist priest was sitting cross-legged.
In the black realm, the Taoist priest wore a white jade crown and a brocade robe, his entire body was snow-white, with a snow-silkworm whisk draped over his arm and his three thin beards fluttering slightly. He truly had the appearance of an immortal.
In that white realm, the Taoist priest wore a black stone headband and a black robe. He held an ink tripod in one hand and made hand gestures with the other. He had a clean face and no beard, and looked like both an immortal and a demon.
Above this lonely and boundless Dead Sea, there is a tiny floating platform, two Taoist priests whose life and death are unknown, and the endlessly rotating yin and yang energies, interweaving like a mirror, both real and fake.
In front of this floating platform, the fairy Lan Zhen, wearing silver bracelets, white hairpins, and a Xinhua palace skirt, has a smile on her face, with feathers swaying on her shoulders and a Taoist wheel floating behind her head. Her expression is indifferent, and it is obvious that she is not afraid of this scene that is neither life nor death, and is also fake and real.
"Here, there is only death and no life, it is called the vastness and helplessness."
"This place is both real and fake, a dream that is not real."
"The Dead Sea is a place where epidemics rage and death rises and falls. It can also be called a small underworld."
A clear and gentle voice sounded slowly. It was the Taoist priest Changsheng who was dressed in snow-white and sitting in the black air.
Taoist Changsheng opened his eyes with a smile on his face: "This Dead Sea is where the Sea of Misfortune God is buried. It is also the tomb of the God that was formed by his death."
"Among the seven gods in Buzhou Realm, the four gods of wind, thunder, water and fire are the strongest, and among them, the gods Gonggong and Zhurong are the leaders."
"Under the seat of Lord Gonggong, there are three Purple Commanders, all of whom are in the Mahayana realm. Lord Hurt Sea is the Lord Gonggong, the Lord in charge of death and the underworld, and the end point of the Water Vein."
"I heard that Lingyuan Zhenjun of the Penglai Dao Sect of the Three Realms also started out as a water-based person, and now controls wind, thunder, water, and fire, and gallops across the heavens?"
"Fairy Lan Zhen, do you think that this Dead Sea area can be used to bury the True Lord Lingyuan?"
Lan Zhen remained silent and did not say anything, but in a sense, she was speaking.
Seeing this, Taoist Changsheng was not annoyed. He smiled and said, "Even if Fairy Lan Zhen didn't tell me, I can still know it."
"The fellow Taoists from the side sects have already taken the lead and have achieved considerable results. If the various sects of the Xuan Sect continue to stand by and watch, it would not be the right path for the alliance."
"Please go back and tell fellow Taoists from other sects, Fairy Lan Zhen, that the various sects of the Xuan Sect will never sit idly by. We understand the principle of interdependence."
Lan Zhen didn't rush back after hearing this, but asked, "Excuse me, Master, which one of the True Transmitters did this? I can explain it to everyone when I get back."
Taoist Changsheng looked at Taoist Immortality beside him. Taoist Immortality opened his eyes and suddenly smiled, "Who is it? Fairy Lanzhen, take a good look. Aren't we the ones who attacked?"
Taoist Changsheng also laughed: "Hahahaha."
Lan Zhen looked at the two immortal Taoist priests in front of her in some astonishment. The next moment, she could not help but exclaim in a low voice. The two immortal Taoist priests who had been breathing normally in front of her before were corrupted into bones in an instant!
But the two skeletons of Changsheng and Busi were seen crackling as their flesh and blood melted away, leaving only white bones. The fleshless heads grinned and laughed, and then the two skeletons suddenly collapsed as if there was no support, and the aura of Changsheng and Busi also completely dissipated.
In this dark and silent sea, only the Taoist Changsheng's meaningful words remained: "Fairy Lanzhen, please go back and have a good talk with Prince Youhua. Don't do this kind of thing to test your allies again in the future."
"Bu Si and I have cured countless illnesses and saved countless lives in Xuan Hu World. We are used to seeing ignorant people, so we are easy to talk to. But Taoist Master Zhen Shui Zhen Huo from Xuan Huang World does not have as good a temper as us."
As the words of Taoist Changsheng faded away, there was no trace of Changsheng and Busi in this Dead Sea.
The realm of burning fire.
In the endless burning fire, everyone gathered together and looked at a map of the Uncircumscribed World that was simply drawn by Xuan Xin.
As Jin Qiong and Xuan Xin took the Sanxuan Shangqing Pill to eliminate their troubles and restore their strength, everyone was ready to retaliate.
"Brothers, please look, the Buzhou Realm is round and square, and the center is the core of the entire Buzhou Realm, the Buzhou Heavenly Pillar. The origin of the Buzhou Realm is also this sacred mountain called the Heavenly Pillar."
"On top of Mount Buzhou is the Buzhou Realm Divine Court, but now there are no gods left there and it has been deserted for thousands of years."
“Although the Divine Court is desolate, the human world in the Uncircumscribed Realm is still relatively prosperous. However, compared to ten thousand years ago, the inheritance of the immortals’ laws has been greatly interrupted.”
"According to my understanding, the places where the four gods of wind, thunder, water and fire of the Buzhou Realm fell are at the east, west, south and north corners of the Buzhou Heavenly Pillar, and the subordinate gods of these four gods are basically scattered around the east, west, south and north of the Buzhou Heavenly Pillar."
Xuanxin said this as he marked each point in detail on the map.
Jiang Sheng looked at it carefully and found that the Buzhou Realm as a whole was not square, but more like a huge ellipse, which was long from east to west and short from north to south. In the middle of the ellipse, the towering thing into the sky was the Buzhou Pillar.
The four fallen gods, Tianwu, Qiangliang, Gonggong and Zhurong, are located in the east, west, north and south respectively. Wind, thunder, water and fire seem to be in both opposition and mutual generation.
The subordinate gods of the four gods are like the stars surrounding the sun. They fight around their gods during their lifetime, and fall around them one by one after their death.
Almost all the Buzhou gods who died in the battle ten thousand years ago died in a very dense crowd near the Buzhou Sky Pillar, which is their divine temple. Looking at the densely packed star points marked by Xuanxin, everyone could imagine how tragic the battle ten thousand years ago was.
The immortals and gods from the upper three realms fell one after another, and the gods fell like rain.
This is the war of gods.
Jiang Sheng looked at the map marked by Xuan Xin and pondered. Shao Bai Mingjun beside him also frowned, looking thoughtful.
Xuan Yi saw it and asked, "Did you two find anything?"
Shao Bai Mingjun looked at Jiang Sheng, and Jiang Sheng motioned Shao Bai Mingjun to go first. Then Shao Bai Mingjun said without hesitation, "The four gods of Bu Zhou Realm fell in Bu Zhou Tianzhu, so where did the three gods who did not fall go?"
"Fellow Daoist Xuanxin, where did you get this map from?"
Xuan Xin explained: "Half of this map was obtained when I watched a performance when I entered the Unseen Realm, and the other half was taken from someone else. Brother Shaobai, is there something wrong with this map?"
Shao Bai Mingjun shook his head: "The map is marked very accurately, more accurate than what I know, but that's the problem."
"The map is so accurate, it's as if someone saw the gods fall one by one thousands of years ago and marked them down."
"Everyone, we certainly want to take revenge, but we can't really treat the Uncircumscribed Realm as an ordinary place where we can come and go as we please. Countless gods have fallen in this world, but there are still gods that survived. Does anyone know where the three gods who disappeared without a trace and their subordinates have gone?"
"So many gods have fallen in the Buzhou Pillar, but looking at the Buzhou Realm, the creatures in all corners of the world are still living and working in peace and contentment. Isn't this weird?" "It's as if someone deliberately wanted to lead us to this Buzhou Realm, maybe."
Before Shao Baimingjun finished speaking, Jiang Sheng, Xuan Yi and Kong Zhen nodded.
From the beginning to the end, Jiang Sheng had a premonition: the Uncircumscribed Realm was a plate of meat that someone had deliberately prepared and placed in front of everyone, attracting everyone to fight for the meat.
But can this plate of meat really make it into your stomach?
When everyone fights for the plate of meat and devours each other, the meat becomes bait, and everyone is the school of fish fighting for the bait. As the small fish swallow the bait, the big fish swallow the small fish.
When the person behind the scenes pulled up the fishing rod, what was hanging on the hook was more than just a bait or a fish.
But, what does it matter if we guess this? Right now, everyone is in the fish pond. Even those who follow the unorthodox ways are fish fighting for the bait.
As Jiang Sheng was thinking, a figure suddenly appeared in his mind, but the next moment, the figure disappeared from Jiang Sheng's mind.
Shaking his head, Jiang Sheng said, "This is indeed worth thinking about, but there is no need to waste your energy on it."
"In this world of uncertainty, who can really sit back and relax?"
"To put it bluntly, we are all fish vying to cross the river. It just depends on who can jump over."
"If you cross it, you will have a vast world. If you can't cross it, you will die."
"Everyone, calm down."
Everyone nodded. Jiang Sheng was right. In this boundless world, no one was better than anyone else. It was just a matter of vying for an advantage.
Xuan Yi said: "Although there are many opportunities in the places where the gods fell, there are also many dangers. They arrived before us, and who knows how many tricks they have deployed."
“In my opinion, it is better to leave these places where the gods fell first, and then deal with those people outside.”
"Presumably, even they would not want to stay in these places of divine fall for too long. If we arrange our means outside in advance and use humans as bait to lure in a few preys..."
Listening to Xuanyi's ideas, everyone nodded.
All around the Buzhou Pillar of the Buzhou Realm are large and small divine tombs. These places where gods fell, not only do the supernatural powers of the gods during their lifetime continue to manifest, but endless resentment and hostility are also fostered. The longer they stay, the greater the impact on their souls and minds.
If one really intends to practice Taoism in such a place, no matter how clear one's mind is and how strong one's spirit is, sooner or later one will be disturbed by the pervasive resentment of the gods, and then lose one's mind and go astray.
Not to mention that there are countless dangers hidden in these places where gods fell. If you are not careful, you may step into the corpses of gods that are still alive, or into traps set by certain beings, or into their hiding places.
In the past in the Mountain and River Realm, Jiang Sheng saw more than one remnant soul of a god who survived the Yuanhui catastrophe forty thousand years ago. Even though only a wisp of soul was left, its strength was still unfathomable.
Xuan Yi, Kong Zhen and other people who had experienced the battle of the merger of the three realms had a clear understanding of this.
And now, only ten thousand years have passed since the fall of the gods of the Buzhou Realm. God knows how many gods’ true spirits live on even though their bodies have died?
Kong Zhen smiled and said, "That's right. It's rude not to return the favor. This divine realm is not a place to stay for long. We don't want to stay any longer, and they certainly don't want to stay for long either. Let's lure them out of their hole first, and then surround and attack their reinforcements."
Jin Qiong took the initiative to say: "I can be the bait."
Xuan Yi said, "No hurry, let's leave first."
Soon, everyone packed up their things, covered their tracks, and left the Burning Fire Area.
With Xuanxin leading the way, the group first left the Burning Fire Realm, then passed through the Void Turbulence and crossed the Wind Turbulence Realm, and finally entered the Corrupted Water Realm from the Wind Turbulence Realm.
As they passed through the three divine meteorite regions, a hint of suspicion flashed across Jiang Sheng's eyes: Why is this road so strange?
While thinking, Jiang Sheng looked at Shaobai Mingjun on the side, and then looked at Xuanxin who was leading the way in front.
Suddenly, Jin Qiong's face changed, and then his breath suddenly weakened, and his body seemed to be sinking into the rotten water like a heavy rotten wood.
Seeing this sudden change, Kong Zhen reacted the fastest. He immediately picked up Jin Qiong and probed into her meridians with his spiritual consciousness and magical power. Finally, his expression changed: "Poison?!"
poison? !
Xuan Yi's expression suddenly changed, and he also stepped forward to detect Jin Qiong's aura. After a while of detection, Xuan Yi couldn't help but frowned: "How is it possible?"
"The Sanxuan Shangqing Pill can cure all injuries in the world and eliminate all strange poisons. Even the Mahayana poison can be cured by the Sanxuan Shangqing Pill. What kind of poison is Jin Qiong infected with?"
Xuan Xin was somewhat suspicious: "Could it be that he stayed in the Burning Fire Realm for too long and was infected with the Burning Fire Poison?"
Kong Zhen shook his head, looked at Xuan Yi, and then at Xuan Xin. As for suspecting that Xuan Yi had poisoned him, such an idea had never occurred to Kong Zhen.
Using the Sanxuan Shangqing Pill to poison, and poisoning his own people at this time, will only lead to the disintegration of everyone and their defeat one by one. Xuanyi is the current eldest senior brother of Qinghua Taoist Sect, how could he be so unwise as to do such a shameful thing?
Where did the poison come from?
Why didn't anyone notice?
In the area of rotten water, the atmosphere suddenly became a little weird.
Xuan Yi said in a deep voice: "Jin Qiong's condition is not right. It is not convenient to leave here by force now. It seems that we can only stay here for a while. At least we have to detoxify Jin Qiong first."
Xuan Xin said, "In that case, Junior Brother, you can go ahead and explore the road to see if there is any ambush danger."
Seeing Xuan Xin speak, Kong Zhen wanted to go with Xuan Xin and ask about Jin Qiong, but unexpectedly Jiang Sheng said abruptly: "I will go with Junior Brother Xuan Xin. If I go with him, we can take care of each other."
Seeing this, Kong Zhen had no choice but to agree.
So everyone split into two teams. Xuan Yi, Kong Zhen and Shao Bai Mingjun stayed behind to take care of Jin Qiong, while Jiang Sheng followed Xuan Xin to explore the way forward.
The realm of rotten water is filled with thick, poisonous water that is corrupt and smelly. If one stays in this divine realm for too long, one will become mentally confused, and one's body and soul will rot without one's knowledge.
Xuan Xin had just taken Jiang Sheng out of the rotten water area, and the next moment they arrived in a dead and deep sea area.
Looking at the sea area filled with the ups and downs of the underworld and the air of death, Xuan Xin couldn't help but frown: "How did we get to this place?"
"Brother Lingyuan."
Before Xuan Xin finished speaking, Jiang Sheng said calmly, "Now that we've come to this point, there's no need to act anymore."
"Tell me, where did you hide Xuan Xin?"
Hearing this, Xuan Xin's eyes flashed with astonishment and confusion: "Senior Brother Lingyuan, what are you doing..."
What responded to Xuanxin was a dazzling sword light!
The sword light was cold, carrying with it the meaning of the three disasters and annihilation. It tore through the void in an instant and cleansed the Dead Sea area for millions of miles. The meaning of the three disasters and annihilation was surging, and the sharp sword light seemed to penetrate time and create the earth and sky.
As the sword light rose up, the yin and yang energy also rushed over together. In an instant, the black and white energy rushed over like a surging river, blocking the cold sword light in front of him.
Then, a curious voice came: "How did you find out?"
"Lingyuan?" (End of this chapter)
