The Heaven-shattering: Holding the Jade Disc of Creation

Chapter 295 Goodbye Qi Huoshui

"rumble……"

In the boundless starry sky, a flash of lightning streaked across the dark space, like a sharp sword from the sky splitting the dead and cold darkness, and the rumbling thunder was deafening.

Zhang Shuo stood in the void, surrounded by chaotic ancient energy. His hazy and illusory figure exuded a faint aura.

He frowned and looked solemnly at the thunderclouds that seemed to be gathering and dispersing in the sky. After some careful consideration, he completely concealed his own aura so as not to provoke the thunder tribulation again.

"There is indeed a problem. As long as I trigger the Quasi-Emperor Thunder Tribulation, I will constantly feel uneasy in my heart. The pain between my eyebrows is reminding me that if this continues, an extremely terrible danger will come."

Zhang Shuo rubbed his brows, suppressed his breath and dissipated the thunder tribulation. He clearly felt that his uneasiness and irritability began to fade away. However, this also made him more unable to understand. How could it be dangerous to undergo a tribulation?
“It’s really strange. With my current strength, I’m not afraid of even the other kinds of thunder tribulations, let alone the triple quasi-emperor thunder tribulations. So why does a mere triple superimposed low-level quasi-emperor thunder tribulation bring me such a great sense of crisis?
Could it be that my existence is not recognized by heaven and earth, so they want to forcibly wipe me out in the thunder tribulation?

No, I can now evolve into various physiques of the Heaven-Covering Universe. The rejection of heaven and earth has long been resolved. Moreover, with the Jade Disc of Creation, it is impossible for the origin of the universe to see through my identity!"

Zhang Shuo had a lot of thoughts in his mind, and various possibilities emerged in his mind one by one, but they were rejected one by one. Given his current situation, he would not be afraid of the test of thunder tribulation, but the warning from his spiritual sense was definitely true, so something must have happened that he didn't know about.

"Could it be that the underworld used the Heaven-reaching Dark Treasure to curse me, hoping that I would perish in the heavenly calamity?
But you can't do this with just a magic weapon! If you dare to curse me, I'm afraid you will be directly exploded by the power of the Jade Disc of Creation, and you can't threaten me at all."

After Zhang Shuo remembered that the holy body was not worthy of the recognition of heaven and earth, as well as the curse of Yuan Tianshi, he also considered the possibility that the underworld was secretly interfering, but this was quickly ruled out.

"Forget it. Not going through the tribulation for a short period of time won't affect my breakthrough. At worst, I can accumulate different levels of tribulation and break through together when the time comes."

Zhang Shuo really couldn't figure out the reason, so he could only put aside his doubts and focus on improving his own cultivation.

With the support of the newly created cultivation system, plus the original secret realm method, the combined combat power of the two means that even if one does not overcome the catastrophe and break through to a higher realm, one can still successfully overcome the catastrophe with one's extraordinary strength.

"Huh! In this case, it is better to focus on improving your own combat power as much as possible."

Zhang Shuo waved his right hand, a space channel was opened, and he turned around and immersed himself in it.

Star Ruins is the trial site of an ancient golden road. It is composed of a vast amount of star fragments and is the final burial place of billions of stars.

A large number of star fragments are pieced together and gathered here, forming floating continents. Although most of them lack vitality, they contain a lot of cultivation resources.

This is a vast and ancient star field filled with all kinds of mythology. Over the long years, a large number of opportunities and inheritances have been discovered, and therefore it has always attracted cultivators from all directions to gather here.

According to rumors, there is the tomb of an ancient emperor here, which has attracted countless monks, all of whom want to come here to seize good fortune.

Among them, more than a dozen continents are the most famous. It is said that there are imperial tombs in them, which has attracted countless young supremes to search and try to find the mechanism of the imperial tombs.

Xucheng is the center of this star field. It is built between more than a dozen continents and is not far from any of them.

Therefore, this place is extremely lively and prosperous, and a large number of strong people stay here, looking for opportunities to improve their cultivation, or fight against powerful enemies to hone their own combat power.

The tall city was built with lapis lazuli, and the city walls shone with a cold luster. Various marks from swords and spears were engraved on them. It was obviously an ancient city that had experienced many changes.

On this day, wisps of bright flashes appeared outside the ruins city, the void of the universe was torn apart, and a divine platform emitting a sacred light flew out from the void with a handsome young man.

"This is Xingxu, the tomb of the Demon King Xue Yueqing. Let's go to the agreed Xingyun Tower first!"

The Nebula Tower is a treasure tower made of star fragments. It is crystal clear, sparkling with a soft silver-white light, and emitting a pure holy power.

It is located in the central area of ​​Xucheng and is extremely famous. Almost all the cultivators in Xucheng come here for sightseeing. According to legend, this is a restaurant left by a quasi-emperor. During his lifetime, he once competed with Emperor Wu Shi for the position of enlightenment. After his failure, he retired here sadly and kept a very low profile. He was only known to people after his death.

There are many different identities of cultivators in the Nebula Tower, and their races are completely different.

Xingxu is located in the Ancient Golden Road and does not belong to any tribe, so trial-takers from various tribes come here.

In a private room of Xingyun Building, a pair of siblings sat opposite Zhang Shuo. The man was handsome, with bronze skin and deep eyes, like a dormant real dragon, transformed into a human form, with an unfathomable aura.

The woman was graceful and attractive, with loose black hair, delicate white skin, clear eyes, full of spirit, red lips and white teeth, sparkling and shining, stunningly beautiful.

"Qi Lin greets the Emperor." The man said respectfully.

"Hey! Zhang Shuo, long time no see." The woman said with a smile.

"It's been a long time indeed, Nan Yao, and Qi Xiao Niu." Zhang Shuo teased.

Qi Huoshui's delicate face puffed up when he heard this. He crossed his arms and snorted at Zhang Shuo, "Humph! Who is the little girl? Although you are more powerful than me, you may not be older than me. You should call me sister."

She is tall, with long legs, a slender waist, skin as white as jade, light hair, watery eyes, bright red lips and crystal teeth. She is a beautiful woman who can bring disaster to everyone.

"Qi Qi, stop making trouble. I'm sorry, Your Majesty. I was rude to you." Qi Lin glared at Qi Huoshui and apologized to Zhang Shuo.

"There's no need to be like this, Qi Lin, you're too reserved. Qi Qi and I were once partners in exploring the Zhongzhou Immortal Palace. We are friends, and we just need to get along easily with each other." Zhang Shuo stopped Qi Lin and smiled at the two of them.

"Hehe, brother, relax. Zhang Shuo said that we are friends. Relax." When Qi Huoshui heard Zhang Shuo say that they were friends, he was immediately delighted and smiled happily, which was stunning and moving.

"Friend..." Nan Yao Qi Lin glanced at Zhang Shuo, then stared at his own sister, with a strange look in his eyes.

Zhang Shuo looked at the lively Qi Huoshui with a nostalgic smile, and then said to Qi Lin: "Has the Demon King's tomb been confirmed to be in Xingxu?"

Qi Lin nodded and replied affirmatively: "Qi Qi and I have confirmed that the Demon King's tomb is in the star field."

"Oh." After getting Qi Lin's affirmation, Zhang Shuo fell into deep thought.

He naturally knew that the Demon King Xue Yueqing's tomb was in Xingxu, but according to the plot in the original novel, it would take several decades before the Demon King's tomb could be officially opened.

But now, not only has the opening time of the imperial tomb been advanced, but the Nan Yao brothers and sisters also knew everything in advance. This is completely different from the original work, and it is inevitable that people are very concerned about the reasons behind it.

Qi Huoshui looked at Zhang Shuo who was in deep thought and asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Is there any problem?" Zhang Shuo came back to his senses and said to Qi Huoshui, "Oh, nothing, I'm just a little curious about why you discovered the Demon King's tomb in advance. Could it be that the people in the Demon King's Palace are really the descendants of the Demon King, or do they have special means?"

Qi Lin and Qi Qi looked at each other, and then Qi Lin explained: "We are not the descendants of the Demon King. The Demon King had no Taoist partner in his life, and no descendants left.

Our ancestors were followers of the Demon King. They inherited the Demon King’s legacy and spontaneously established the Demon King’s Palace, which they passed down from generation to generation.”

"I remember that the Demon Emperor's inheritance in the Demon Emperor Palace is not complete, the most crucial secret technique is missing, and there is no imperial weapon as a foundation. How did you discover the Demon Emperor's tomb?" Zhang Shuo did not hide and expressed his doubts.

"In the Demon King Palace that was preserved from ancient times, there is a blood altar with a Dharma Eye on it that can observe the universe and the stars.

When the Empress and the Emperor were fighting, I saw through my Dharma Eyes the moment when a deep black light pierced through the starry sky and landed on the Yunmiao Continent in the Star Ruins.

At that moment, I saw the secret space hidden in the Yunmiao Continent. Although it was only for a moment, the excitement brought by the "Demon King Sutra" told me that it was the Demon King's tomb.

After that, I took Qi Qi all the way to Xingxu to investigate the Demon King's Tomb. It was only recently that we completely confirmed its existence.

But the Demon King's Tomb has extremely powerful restrictions, and we brothers and sisters cannot break it with our strength, so we can only seek the help of the Emperor. "

Nan Yao took a sip of wine and told Zhang Shuo everything about how they discovered the Demon King's tomb.

"The Eye of Heaven and Earth, no wonder." Zhang Shuo understood the reason and resolved his doubts. He then said to the two of them:

"Then let's go! Let's go to the Demon King's Tomb and take a look."

"okay."

These three are not ordinary cultivators. With their powerful cultivation, they can cross the starry sky and the continent to go to the continent where the Demon King’s tomb is located.

Zhang Shuo stood in the starry sky, his feet on the starlight, his eyes flashing with chaotic light, carefully observing the dozen or so continents near the ruins city.

He discovered that although these continents seemed separate from each other, they were actually very closely connected, and there were traces of formations deep within these continents.

More than a dozen vast continents formed a magnificent magic formation, and the center of the formation was the Yunmiao Continent where the Demon King's tomb was located.

Seeing this, Zhang Shuo, with his attainments as a Yuan Tianshi, could not help but sigh: "These continents are connected by formations, with Yunmiao Continent as the center, intercepting and transporting the essence of all fallen cultivators.

Using the dragon veins of the continent as a filter, impurities are washed away, and the cultivator's essence is purified into the origin of heaven and earth, and all of it is gathered in the Demon King's tomb. In this way, vitality is gathered and true creation is created.

After failing in his quest for immortality, he was able to devise such a plan with his dying body. He is indeed a peerless demon king. It is truly amazing."

"What arrangement? And has the Demon King passed through the Immortal Road?" Qi Huoshui couldn't help but ask after hearing Zhang Shuo's words.

“In his later years, the Demon King tried to become an immortal, and he was almost successful. Unfortunately, he fell short.” Zhang Shuo revealed the Demon King’s secret.

Upon hearing this, Qi Huoshui and Qi Lin's pupils constricted, and they could hardly hide their surprise.

"Then... is the Demon Emperor's Tomb the means of resurrection arranged by the Demon Emperor? Does it mean that the Demon Emperor has hope of resurrection?" Facing the ancient ancestor who founded the Demon Emperor's Palace, Qi Lin could not hide his inner excitement and asked urgently.

Zhang Shuo shook his head and explained, "The Demon King has put so much thought into all the arrangements here, just to protect a flower!"

"It's just a flower? Is it some kind of treasure?" Qi Huoshui looked curious.

"Neither, it's just an ordinary wild flower, and it's even withered." Thinking of the story of the Demon King Xue Yueqing, Zhang Shuo couldn't help but feel deeply moved.

He told Qi Huoshui: "Back then, when Demon Emperor Xue Yueqing was young, he already had someone he loved. Unfortunately, in order to practice Taoism and attain enlightenment, he resolutely said goodbye to his lover and set foot on the ancient starry sky road.

Before he left, he picked a wild flower and gave it to his beloved to express his love.

But unfortunately, things had changed and when the Demon King returned after attaining enlightenment, his beloved had already fallen, died in the form of Tao, and not even her body was left behind. Only the withered flower in front of her grave was left.

This was the pain and regret of the Demon King's life, so after failing to become an immortal, he cast a stunning secret spell on this withered flower, making it immortal. Now it is buried in the Demon King's tomb.
And all the layouts on Xingxu Continent are to absorb enough vitality to keep the Demon King's obsession alive and to protect the flower forever!"

After listening to the Demon King's story, tears flowed from Qi Huoshui's eyes. She really couldn't imagine how painful and heartbreaking such regret and farewell would be.

Qi Huoshui is not a pure seeker of truth. Compared with the eternal and immortal truth, she cares more about emotions and the people around her, so she understands how painful and suffering it would be to lose a loved one.

She lowered her head, letting the tears flow down her pretty face, silently pinched the corner of Zhang Shuo's clothes, and choked up, "Is cultivation really so important?

Even if he is the invincible demon king in heaven and earth, he cannot redeem the regrets of the past. Even if he can attain enlightenment, is that really what we want?"

"Haha!" Zhang Shuo touched Qi Huoshui's little head and laughed, "In the world where one can practice, there is a saying that is true: any regret or misfortune is caused by the lack of ability of the person involved.

As long as one possesses strong enough power, not to mention regrets, even the cycle of life and death and the past and future can be reversed.

If you lose your beloved, then just become stronger. If you are not at the ultimate level, then become an immortal. If you are not at the ultimate level, then continue to break through. Sooner or later, when you surpass the heavens and the earth, the avenue, and everything, everything will be under your control. "

Finally, Zhang Shuo sighed and said, "The Demon King is not wrong in pursuing enlightenment. His only mistake is that he is not strong enough!"

"Reversing life and death, changing the past and the future, is this really possible?" Qi Huoshui looked up at Zhang Shuo with a confused look.

Since the mythological era, reversing life and death and changing time and space have been unheard of even for immortals.

"Have you really never seen the existence of reversing life and death?" Zhang Shuo stared at Qi Huoshui and smiled.

"Of course... I... um!" Qi Huoshui was about to deny it, but suddenly thought of something and looked at Zhang Shuo fiercely. His beautiful, slightly red eyes reflected his handsome figure, as if he was looking at a supreme god.

Qi Lin on the side seemed to have thought of something. His pupils shrank and he clenched his fists, but he didn't dare to look at Zhang Shuo. He murmured to himself, "Could it be that what happened to the Emperor Zhong is true..."
