Traveling the Heavens in Thunderbolt

Chapter 1180: Ghostly Perception and Divine Knowledge
"Destroying God·Hao Tianqiong~"

In a flash, Hao Tianqiong looked in the direction of the sound and saw two obvious red spots crawling along with a terrifying figure in the deep darkness.

Looking at the strange slug-like person who appeared before him, Hao Tianqiong recalled what he had said to him and asked him, "How do you know my name?"

The insect-shaped monster's eyes flashed red, and he said slowly: "Although I am in the fence, my slightly enlarged eyes are fixed on the entire martial arts world. You are also in my ghostly and divinely aware eyes."

Hearing this, Hao Tianqiong had already made up his mind and said, "Oh, since you claim to know everything, let me ask you, I once went to Yizong to look for my former enemy Jiji Zhongliu to avenge him, but his daughter said that he was dead. But when I broke open the tomb, I found it was an empty tomb. Can you answer me, where is Jiji Zhongliu now?"

Hearing the name of Ji Ji Zhong Liu, Gui Jue Shen Zhi laughed sinisterly: "Hahahaha..., if you want to know the whereabouts of Ji Ji Zhong Liu, I naturally know, but I'm afraid you can't afford the price."

Hao Tianqiong asked: "Does your answer require conditions?"

The ghostly consciousness slowly moved and said, "To solve extraordinary problems, you often have to pay an extraordinary price. The direction of the oar in the middle of the stream involves the future trend of the martial arts world and even the entire world. The price involved is not something you, who holds the broken end-times holy legend, can exchange for."

“Really?” Then Hao Tianqiong sneered, “After not seeing you for so many years, you are not only more cunning than before, but also more adept at playing tricks. Striking the oar in the middle of the stream!”

His identity was exposed, and it was discovered that he was the former leader of the escape, and he was caught in the middle of the current.

Hao Tianqiong looked at Guijueshenzhi, who looked like a slug, and mocked him to the utmost, "I never thought that the once world-famous Lord of Yizong would have fallen into this state. You should really let your beloved disciple and daughter take a good look at what you look like now. I'm sure the scene then will be very exciting, hahahahaha..."

Although he didn't know why Hao Tianqiong knew the identity he tried so hard to hide, after a brief shock, he had recovered from his scheming and said tit-for-tat: "To explore the will of heaven, you must pay a considerable price. Hao Tianqiong, maybe you want to taste the fruits of this price."

Hao Tianqiong raised his right hand and clenched his fist, as if the whole world was in his palm. He said disdainfully: "I only believe in what I hold in my hand. You turned yourself into this for the so-called will of heaven, which proves nothing more than this."

"Striking the oar in the middle of the stream, I am so extremely happy to see you now. Because your half-human, half-ghost appearance is the greatest comfort to me after years of imprisonment, hahahahahaha..."

The deafening laughter shook the entire place.

Gui Jue Shen Zhi warned: "If you are poor, you will be arrogant when you succeed. Be careful that excessive happiness will lead to sorrow. Don't you know that prosperity will eventually lead to decline?"

Hao Tianqiong paid no attention to the warning. "I may be arrogant because I am successful, but you are just a bug now, trapped in this small space. What ambition do you have? You are just a stink bug. What qualifications do you have to teach me a lesson? Drink!"

With a ruthless move, Hao Tianqiong absorbed the ghost's sense of God into his palm and clasped his forehead with his five fingers.

"Hao Tianqiong, you!" I didn't expect Hao Tianqiong to suddenly attack.
Hao Tianqiong’s true energy continued to increase, “I have thought it through. Being sealed by a bug like you is a shame in my life. Only by making you disappear in time can I wash it away. Hahahahahahaha…”

"Hao Tianqiong, you will definitely regret this! Ah~" After a howl, Guijueshenzhi's whole body shattered into countless pieces, and scattered everywhere along with the pungent green blood.

A lot of green blood splashed onto Hao Tianqiong, sticky and disgusting.

"Hmph, it is indeed an ugly existence!" With a cold snort, Hao Tianqiong used the magic skill of destroying illusions to eliminate the green blood on his body and strode away in a moment.

All that was left was a pile of insect shells and thick green blood.

In Xiezun Dao, after handing the Eye of Xiangwang to Luoyang, Xu Fengnian returned to the room, sat cross-legged and closed his eyes to rest.

Suddenly, an inexplicable gloomy aura enveloped the place.

Xu Fengnian, sensing this unusual aura, chuckled, "Ha~ You dare to come to Xie Zun Dao. Well, I'll test you."

Xu Fengnian let the dark energy envelope his body and fell into the void.

"Dear guest, Janaga welcomes you to the end of the nightmare."

The messenger of the demon city, Jayanaga, descended from the sky with a spell puppet in his hand. He walked in a fantasy space with strange steps and came in front of Xu Fengnian.

"The people of the Demon City are playing tricks like this. Are you eager to invite me to the Demon City again?" Xu Fengnian saw Jayanaga coming and knew what the Demon City was planning. He smiled and said, "If that's the case, I can't refuse your kindness. Xu Fengnian doesn't mind going to Tianyan Demon City again."

"No." Jayanagar said slowly, "I invited you to my nightmare fantasy world because I want to make a deal with you."

As he spoke, the surrounding scenery changed drastically.

As the darkness dissipated, what appeared before Xu Fengnian's eyes was a dilapidated and strange ancient city built with black boulders and dark machinery.

The inexplicable gears rotated with each other, making a creaking sound. Three iron horses of different shapes floated up and down along the shafts connected behind them, never stopping, and never staying on a parallel line.

Xu Fengnian asked knowingly, "Oh, the Demon Lord has finally thought it through and is going to hand over the chance of reversal?"

Of course, Janaka couldn't make the decision for him, so he replied: "The mechanism for reversing the situation is in the future of the demon city, and cannot be handed over to you."

"Hmm~" Xu Fengnian pretended to be angry, and said angrily, "You have wasted my time like this. It seems that I am too polite to you."

The entire nightmare illusion became unstable under the impact of Xu Fengnian's momentum.

Feeling that the illusion might break at any time, Janaka changed his usual slow manner and said in a hurry: "Please calm down your anger for a while. I am here to make a deal that will not be a loss for you."

"Well, it's a deal that won't be a loss." Xu Fengnian dispersed his aura and looked curious. "This has aroused my interest. Jayanaka, go on."

Janaka thought to himself that this person was just as the Demon Lord said, always trying to take advantage of everything, so he immediately said, "I wonder if you have ever heard of the Six Restoration Roots?"

Thinking that this was indeed the case, Xu Fengnian immediately asked with great interest, "The method of the Six Restoration Roots? Is it the strange method mentioned in the Nine Dragons Bodhi Sutra?"

Jananaka said, "You are indeed well-read. Yes, it is the method of the Six Restoration Roots recorded in the Nine Dragons Bodhi Sutra. The six consciousnesses of a person activate the six senses to contact the six dusts, and then the six senses reflect the six senses to stimulate the six consciousnesses. Under the interactive cycle, the life and death seen by people are formed. If you can follow the method of the Six Restoration Roots to stimulate the six senses in the deepest part of human consciousness, it will definitely be of great benefit to your merit."

Xu Fengnian said: "The six senses of human beings are too illusory, and the records in the Bodhi Sutra are nothing more than finding the corresponding objects to stimulate the recovery of the six senses. The records of the six objects, the Rainbow of Heaven's Tears, the Incense of the Ultimate Appearance, the Jade of Life, the Clothes of Touching the Machine, and the Blade of the Heart, are just descriptions of their forms. How to find them is not explained."

Seeing that Xu Fengnian had taken the bait, Jayan Naga said, "I know where to find the things needed for the Six Restoration Roots. To show the Demon City's sincerity, I can tell you three things first."

"To obtain the Jade of Life, you need a little blood from your loved ones, which you leave under your tongue to stimulate your sense of taste. To obtain the Blade of the Heart, you need your purest thoughts to catalyze it into consciousness."

After hearing what Jayanaga said about the two things, Xu Fengnian thought: "The Jade of Life is not difficult to obtain, but getting the Blade of the Heart is not difficult either."

Seeing this, Janaka continued, "To make the clothes for the touch machine, one must go to the Milky Way and find the Weaver Girl of Yue. She will use a special double-silk weaving method and weave it with the silk of living things to activate the touch sense."

"These three items must be prepared in advance."

"It's easy to cross the Milky Way and get past the Weaver Girl." With the presence of the Red Flow Evil Young Master, Xu Fengnian was confident and said, "These three items do meet the characteristics of items that stimulate the six senses as stated in the Nine Dragons Bodhi Realm. Now, you can state your conditions."

Seeing Xu Fengnian's attitude soften, Jayan Naga immediately proposed the conditions for his transformation into Achantika, "The Demon Lord's condition is that I hope you will stop making things difficult for my Demon City."

"Won't you let me make things difficult for the Demon City?" Xu Fengnian fell into deep thought after hearing this condition.

Janaka was puzzled and said, "The method to improve your physical strength has been handed over. I wonder why you are still hesitating?"

Xu Fengnian said awkwardly: "Originally, there is the method of Six Restoration Roots. I should indeed follow the intention of the city lord. But as the saying goes, 'People are never satisfied. After conquering Long, they look forward to conquering Shu.' But the more you say so, the more important the opportunity for reversal is. The interests behind it must be far greater than the method of Six Restoration Roots. Therefore, this is not enough for me to give up the opportunity for reversal."

"People are never satisfied. After conquering Long, they look to Shu again." This sentence comes from "The Biography of Wei Xiao" in "Dongguan Hanji": "If the western city is taken, we can see the troops, and attack the Shu barbarians in the south. People are never satisfied. After conquering Long, they look to Shu again. Every time they send troops, their hair turns white."

The history behind this is that when Emperor Guangwu of Han, Liu Xiu, saw that he could not capture the two cities of Xicheng and Shanggui at once, he left an edict to Cen Peng and returned to the capital first.

When Cen Peng received the imperial edict, he saw that it said: If we capture the two cities in Longdi, we can lead our army to attack Shudi. The most painful thing for people is that they are never satisfied. I am the same. I have already captured Longdi and I want to capture Shudi. Therefore, every time I send troops, my hair turns white.

To sum up, I don’t want to make a choice, I want them all.

Even though Jayanaga had seen countless people since the ancient war between saints and demons, he was still shocked by Xu Fengnian's shamelessness.

Before this, he had never seen anyone who could justify robbing others so confidently and with such evidence from classics.

Even so, intimidated by Xu Fengnian's tyrannical strength, Jayan Naga advised: "The Six Restoration Roots Method is enough for you to improve, why force it?"

While persuading him, he also threatened: "If you insist on it, my Demon City will be destroyed."
