Tao and Heaven

Chapter 225 A ray of golden thread gathers from the sea
Taiyi City,
It was built on the hillside of a 3,000-foot mountain. As it seems to be embedded in it, it is guarded by the mountains and forms a green screen for thousands of miles.

Looking around, there were densely packed immortal boats stranded in the air, and the monks from the City Lord's Mansion of Taiyi City were flying on swords to maintain order. Their duties were similar to those of the police, and the cultivation community called them imperial guards.

Thousands of imperial guards restrained all the immortal boats in the fifty-mile airspace near Taiyi City into four 'Yangtze Rivers', just like the sea flowing into the river and the vast ocean shrinking into a river.

Gu Wen looked very curious at first, but gradually he began to yawn and could only watch the boat moving at a snail's pace.

Originally, the huge ship could squeeze other people out, but after entering the restricted area, cultivators kept flying by on their swords. It was said that a forced collision might be regarded as an attack by evil cultivators, and in serious cases, the ship would be directly shot down by Taiyi City's defense formation.

The lightest punishment is life imprisonment or a huge fine.

The cultivation world is not so wild, it looks quite prosperous and peaceful. It is a place full of vitality and everything is flourishing.
As soon as the thought came to mind, a dazzling light suddenly appeared in the distance, and a thousand-foot-long fairy boat turned into a small sun.

The huge wreckage smashed into the fairy boat next to it. The behemoth, which was also a thousand feet in size, was immediately engulfed in flames and began to collapse, affecting another ship like a domino effect.

It wasn't over yet, as a hurricane caused by the explosion of the first fairy boat blew over, and another flash of fire burst out on the other side.

The second, third, and fourth little suns rose one after another, illuminating the area within hundreds of miles with a bright red glow.

Everyone was stunned for a few breaths. The first to react were the imperial guards of Taiyi City. One of them flew over Gu Wen's head and shouted, "All immortal boats, strictly sail, all stay in the air! Repeat, all stay in the air!"

His voice was soon drowned out by the sound of explosions. Another fairy boat exploded, and fear enveloped everyone like a sudden rainstorm.

At first, they took a chance and began to flee in the small shuttles that could shuttle freely. Some of them collided with large immortal boats in the chaos. Most of these immortal boats had certain attack and defense functions, and they were huge magic weapons in themselves. The immortal boats that were attacked immediately activated the defense formation.

Elliptical barriers unfolded, squeezing the surrounding ships, forcing other ships to also open their defenses.

The tens of thousands of immortal boats that were originally restrained suddenly exploded and scattered throughout the airspace of Taiyi City.

A thousand-foot-long immortal boat attempted to escape the chaos and instantly crushed all the immortal boats and shuttles of all sizes along the way.

It was a mess, it only took a minute.

Gu Wen felt that he should take back the word "peace". Suddenly, he seemed to have a warning and subconsciously looked down at his feet.

His divine sense then probed downwards, and the isolation formation attached to the immortal boat was as if it were nothing. Everything that happened on this three-kilometer-long behemoth came into view in great detail.

A man dressed as a disciple of Yiwei Sect, who was also a 'sailor' on the ship, was sticking black talismans on the core-like places.

His eyes were lavender, his soul was bewitched, and the aura on him seemed familiar.

Gu Wen searched his memory and recalled that several semi-immortals had attacked him when he was in Tianquan Mountain.

The Demon Saint Angri, the Purple Light Demon Hand, a man covered in golden light.

The latter two should be demigods of the human race. Gu Wen recognized that this man's aura should be that of the Purple Light Demon Hand.

"If you can meet him, just crush him to death."

Thinking so, Gu Wen turned and walked into the cabin. Walking together with him were the female disciple from Zhejian Mountain and the young man in yellow.

Xie Yunan saw that Gu Wen was obviously stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly and said, "This accident must be caused by an evil cultivator. Even a thousand-foot-long ship has problems, so there may be evil cultivators here. You two should be careful. What is the name of this fellow Taoist from the Three Pure Ones Sect?"

"Poor Taoist in the world."

Gu Wen's voice was calm, and the two men's expressions changed slightly when they heard his words. The Taoist name is Yanming, and those who take the higher level are not qualified and will easily shorten their lifespan and bring disaster.

Xie Yunan exclaimed: "Daoyou has lofty aspirations. I am Xie Yunan, the true disciple of Zhejian Mountain, and my teacher is the contemporary sword master."

The young man in yellow was a little proud, but he also bowed and said, "I am the true disciple of Liuyun Sect, Chunxuan, and my master is from the lineage of Wen Tianzun."

Most of the military strategists in Zhejian Mountain refer to themselves by their surnames, while the Taoist sects of Liuyun Sect do the opposite.

"Sword Master and Literature Master, I remember it was Brother Lan and Brother Xiao, right?"

Gu Wen remembered that in the letters they wrote to him, many of them were regarded as the next generation of Heavenly Masters after they left.

Eight hundred years have passed now. Given their qualifications, if they had not died, they would have become powerful deities.

"Hello."

He nodded, indicating that he had no problem with them not having heard of it.

The fairest thing about time is that no matter who you are, you will be forgotten, all traces will be diluted, and no matter how talented you are, you will eventually be forgotten and become the memory of a very small number of people.

Civilization is a stone in the long river of time. It has memory, but it always remembers people with virtue.

Throughout the ages, no matter whether extraordinary or ordinary, great men always last the longest.

What merits did Gu Wen have? How many people did he save, or how many people did he feed and clothe?
He is far inferior to his master, and cannot compare to Xiao Yunyi and others who have stabilized the area.

Xie Yunnan and Chun Xuan walked in a hurry, ahead of Gu Wen.

Walking through the corridors of the ship, it was already a chaotic place inside. Passengers were packing their bags, monks on the ship were running around, and black talismans appeared from time to time during some conversations.

This discovery made Xie Yunnan immediately start using his magic power to perform body skills. His figure appeared like a ghost. Perhaps it was some measure of the existence of the ship. When it sensed the fluctuation of magic power, a rapid bell sounded immediately.

It only took Gu Wen and the other two three breaths to find the suspicious monk who was posting talismans.

There was no communication between the two sides when they met. The magic sword in Xie Yunnan's hand turned into a stream of light and flew out, and a head fell off immediately.

Chunxuan pinched his hands to form a magic formula, and slapped his palm towards the core of the immortal boat. The ink covered the black talisman like a puddle of mud.

The problem was solved. Gu Wen leaned over and lightly tapped with his fingertips, and a barely detectable wisp of purple air came in.

Purple air entered the sea of ​​energy, and Gu Wen marked three hundred heads, but he could not find the real body.

First, the distance was too far, and second, he had not learned any powerful detection methods. He could only use the most primitive divine sense to detect and scan the hundreds of thousands of immortal boats, hundreds of thousands of passengers, and every cultivator within a radius of 100 miles.

This took thirty breaths, and Gu Wen felt that he should learn the method of searching for breath.

No one is perfect and nothing can be achieved without learning.

Gu Wen opened his mouth slightly, and a ray of golden light flew out with the magic power of the Qi Refining Period, leaving a hole the size of a hair in the hull.

Nine-turn golden elixir, magical golden light.

This is what Akabane taught me in the past.

Rumble!
The entire hull began to shake, as if something had hit the fairy boat.

Xie Yunan said: "Let's go up to the deck first, so that we can escape if the immortal boat can't hold on any longer."

The three of them walked out of the core cabin, and the monks from the ship who had noticed something was wrong also rushed over. Xie Yunan talked to them and told them the whole story. During the conversation, she saw that the Taoist named Hongchen had quietly left.

Gu Wen walked through the long corridor. There was a fire outside the ship on his right. The next moment, the fire turned into golden light, reflecting in his desolate eyes.

Golden light flashed outside the round glazed windows, and everyone's eyes shifted to the outside. Xie Yunnan no longer looked at the strange Taoist priest.

A golden thread flew between the chaotic immortal ships, standing out particularly in the fire and chaos.

The first immortal boat to explode was entangled in mid-air by two figures, both of whom were in the Nascent Soul stage. The battle was a ten-mile radius filled with fragments of the immortal boat. "You cowards, you dare to cause trouble while Master Wen is in seclusion!"

"The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. We are no match for Qingcang, so we have to resort to some tricks. Today we are just setting off the opening fireworks for the Tianxuan Conference. Let's catch Taiyi City!"

The Nascent Soul cultivator, who was surrounded by purple air, opened his arms, and the chaotic group of immortal boats in front suddenly stopped.

A strand of golden thread suspended thousands of immortal boats, and he caught a glimpse of a ray of golden light, and the next moment, the Nascent Soul evil cultivator was also pierced through the forehead.

The evil cultivators who were fighting with the cultivators from Taiyi City in various places were all stunned. Without giving them time to react, the golden light pierced through their eyebrows without any error.

Nascent Soul Stage, Golden Core Stage, Induction Stage, Foundation Establishment Stage. All cultivations seemed useless. It only took a moment for the golden light to take their lives, and then they would be strung together in a certain order.

In the next eight seconds, golden light penetrated all the immortal boats and killed all the evil cultivators.

Until this moment, people have not reacted yet. The panicked people are still howling, and the explosion and out-of-control fairy boat can no longer move.

The first moment of golden light appeared was so tiny that no one could detect it, as tiny as a hair.

The second the golden light appeared, it penetrated the protective formations of three thousand-foot immortal boats, and no one was aware of its imperceptibility.

The third time the golden light appeared, it had already crossed the sky for a hundred miles. Thousands of immortal boats and tens of thousands of flying shuttles were all above the golden light.

Gu Wen returned to the deck. He stood on the edge, with a strand of golden thread wrapped around his index finger three times. He lifted it lightly and suspended tens of millions of immortal boats.

With just the magic power of the Qi training period and just an inch of the fingertips, it is possible to support the three hundred miles of sky.

"Laojun, your use of the magic sword is indeed wonderful."

Gu Wen smiled as he recalled what his old friend had taught him.

The sword is as sharp as a thread, suspending the heaven and earth and hanging the sun and the moon.

It sounds exaggerated, and Jun Yan had only described it before, but now Gu Wen has done it.
-
After a stick of incense, the golden thread disappeared and the still fairy boat began to move.

More guards from Taiyi City have arrived, including a great Mahayana master. Although the scene is chaotic, it is at least under control.

After another hour, the fairy boat began to move slowly, but even slower than before.

A steward from the sect on the ship comforted the passengers and explained when they would arrive at Taiyi City.

"Taiyi City needs to check all personnel and immortal boats to exclude any remaining evil cultivators. You cannot disembark now. Everyone please cooperate and do not leave without permission. Otherwise, you may be regarded as an evil cultivator and arrested by Taiyi City's guards."

"You have suffered a man-made disaster today, but if you survive this great disaster, you will surely be blessed in the future. The dining room has prepared a free dinner for you, with wine and meat. Come and eat as much as you want, and Taiyi City will take care of the bill."

The dining room is the restaurant on the fairy boat.

Since its size is more than ten times that of the aircraft carrier in the previous life, the various rooms and infrastructure are very spacious, and looking around, there are hundreds of long tables filled with food.

Some monks abstain from certain foods, or at a certain stage of their practice, they just drink some spiritual wine.

Gu Wen did not have this concern. He began to eat voraciously, taking one bite at a time of food that looked like roast suckling pig, and compared what he ate with what he had eaten in his previous life.

Such a wild posture is very eye-catching.

"Fellow Daoist Hongchen, can I sit here?"

Xie Yunnan came over, and the disciples of Zhejian Mountain behind him let out a strange cry of "Oh", and then the man in yellow clothes cast a gloomy look at him.

This scene has been played out countless times in different places, with different people and at different times. The word love exists in the past, present and future.

If Gu Wen were eight hundred and fifty years younger, he would still be in his twenties and would be very excited, would feel joy, and would fantasize about all kinds of things.

Before they have even said a few words, they may have already started planning a few cups of wine together.

Young people admire Ai, this is their nature.

Then Gu Wen would return to reality, consider his own identity and status, and then restrain his thoughts. On the contrary, it was just like the young man from Liuyun Sect, who seemed very bold and courageous to Gu Wen.

If I weren't so aggressive and arrogant, perhaps my success rate would be higher.

Gu Wen was so confident in his heart because he had experienced it before.

"Please take a seat."

Xie Yunnan walked down to the opposite side of Gu Wen and gently smoothed the hem of her skirt. Her slender eyebrows were a little sharp, and her palms were not as delicate as those of ordinary women. Instead, they were full of scars and calluses.

She tentatively asked, "Should I call you Senior or Fellow Daoist?"

"It will be all right."

Gu Wen had a smile on his face as he looked at this old friend who had the innate sword bone again.

Theoretically, it was impossible for the other party to find any traces, even if they kept their eyes on him from beginning to end. The giant stretched out a finger, and the mayfly could only see the fingerprints between the skin like cracks, but could not see the whole picture.

On the contrary, it would be strange if she could find out.

Xiao Yunyi, the heir, was very talented. His innate sword bone should be the physique born after the immortal sword became a Dao, when the laws projected the heaven and earth. But he had not yet reached the peak of the golden elixir, so he could not peek at his little saint body.

"Was that golden light magical power today created by the senior?"

"How did you figure it out?"

Gu Wen did not deny it. Xie Yunan's eyes lit up and he replied, "I guessed it. Everyone else was looking out the window, but you seemed calm."

"You are very smart and careful, much smarter than your master."

Gu Wen praised her, which made Xie Yunnan even more convinced.

The ordinary-looking man in front of him was the powerful man sent by the Three Pure Ones Taoist sect to contact him.

Recently, evil cultivators have frequently appeared in various parts of the human race. The great men of the three religions have been exhausted from running around, and many times the evil cultivators have escaped. Each sect believes that there is a spy among them, and they will definitely not be able to find it out by self-inspection.

Therefore, the Three Pure Ones Taoist sect and Zhejianshan conspired to send people to conduct a private investigation.

I heard from Master that the mighty one of the Three Pure Ones sect has divine powers in his physical body and is almost invincible at the same level. Killing a True Lord is as easy as stepping on an ant. He is also a good friend of Master.

To sum up, isn’t this the Gu Wen in front of us?

Although she didn't know why this senior arrived early, she had witnessed his great powers.

"I am a special envoy from Zhejian Mountain. I have come here specifically to meet with you, Senior. This is my token as proof."

A palm-sized silver plate floated from under the table and landed on Gu Wen's thigh.

"Ok?"
