Fairyland Sunshine

Chapter 188 It's a pity that we didn't see each other

The Heaven and Earth Monument is still a long way from the Ziyan Fairy City.

However, Xu Heng's fire escape was as fast as a flying star, and he was close in less than a day. But before he reached the earth, he felt something was strange.

The Heaven and Earth Monument was 8,880 feet high. It was towering above the clouds, not to mention towering above the ground. It should have been visible from afar. However, at this moment, there were only faint clouds and mist in the field of vision, with no trace of anything.

Xu Heng was sure that he was not lost, and it was even more impossible that he was deceived by the illusion. He was even more surprised. He quickly lowered the cloud and looked around. He did not see the monument of heaven and earth or the immortal texts, but only an unusual scene.

He had read a travelogue in Tianchi Mountain, which contained a description of the Monument to Heaven and Earth. It said that the monument was about two or three thousand feet buried underground, another two or three thousand feet leaning against a cliff, and the remaining two or three thousand feet towering into the clouds. There were ancient magic scrolls on it, which were said to be written by immortal saints.

However, at this moment, there was only a deep ravine in front of him, lying under the cliff, and there was nothing in it.

It was as if the legendary thousand-foot-high stone tablet had been pulled out and moved away by someone.

Xu Heng's heart was slightly shocked. A cultivator has magical powers and can lift objects weighing thousands of pounds as if they were a feather. However, a stone tablet that is nearly ten thousand feet high, even if it is made of the most ordinary rock, is probably not much worse than a mountain, right?

What kind of cultivation and magic power is required to move mountains and carry heavy hills?

Moreover, according to rumors, the Monument of Heaven and Earth is very special. Divine thoughts cannot be attached to it, and magic power cannot be added to it. Even if one has the power to move mountains, it cannot be shaken.

"What on earth happened?" Xu Heng couldn't help but ask himself, but this was not something that could be solved by meditation, so he stopped his escape technique and slowly fell towards the "ruins" of the Heaven and Earth Monument.

Although the Monument to Heaven and Earth has disappeared, the place is not silent at all. On the contrary, it is quite lively.

Many people were flying up and down in the ravines, perhaps trying to find out the cause. Occasionally, someone would come hurriedly, as if they had just heard the sound of the wind.

This made Xu Heng's arrival inconspicuous. He fell into the ravine silently and quickly turned around. He did not find anything unusual, but unexpectedly heard a piece of news from someone else.

It turns out that the Monument of Heaven and Earth did not disappear mysteriously, nor was it forcibly pulled out by someone with great supernatural powers. Instead, it shone brightly on its own and fell into the hands of a man.

And this person is known to everyone in Jiuxiao Mountain. He is the 'only Taoist' of Xiandu Sect - Ying Xianlin.

The name of the Monument of Heaven and Earth is far more famous than the Lankao Mountain. There have always been many practitioners who want to know its mysteries, so there are often many people in front of the Monument of Heaven and Earth.

When the Monument of Heaven and Earth flew into Ying Xianlin's hands, the place was not empty. Many people witnessed it, so it could not be false.

However, no one can tell clearly how Ying Xianlin took the Heaven and Earth Stele away. Did he comprehend the mystery of the stele or inherit it?

Or maybe it was the divine object of the Heaven and Earth Monument that chose this genius of Taoism as its master?
Xu Heng slowly flew out of the ravine and landed facing the cliff. He raised his head and looked silently for a moment. His sight seemed to travel through not too long a time and he saw the scene of Ying Xianlin taking away the Monument of Heaven and Earth.

He felt a little regretful. It was not that he regarded other people's gains as his own losses, but since the Monument of Heaven and Earth was truly mysterious, it was a pity that he had not been able to see it with his own eyes.

"Forget it." Xu Heng collected his thoughts and realized that there was no point in staying here any longer, so he quietly left the crowd, summoned a cloud, and flew away in a certain direction.

On the Jiuxiao Mountain, the fourth and fifth layers of the sky are the most extensive. The next place Xu Heng wanted to go to was also on the fourth layer of the sky. Although it was quite far from the Heaven and Earth Monument, it was not necessarily slower to fly directly than to turn around and return to Ziyan City and then take the teleportation array. On the contrary, it could save trouble. Therefore, he planned to go straight ahead, but before he flew far, he faintly felt someone following him.

Xu Heng could not help but frown, and was about to get up and escape into the clouds, but he made a hand gesture to seal the spell and put it down again.

He knew that although there were many evil creatures in the world of cultivation, they could not be encountered casually. Unless there was a conflict of interest, no one would easily show their ferocity.

There were quite a few people at the Heaven and Earth Monument just now, but he hid himself and did not show off his wealth. There must be other reasons why he was targeted.

Xu Heng pondered for a moment, but still did not leave. He flew leisurely using the cloud magic. Soon, he passed several mountains and arrived at a place where few people had been.

Sure enough, the man suddenly sped up and approached Xu Heng, as if he felt that he had him in hand. He no longer concealed his aura and showed his figure with great force. Without saying a word, he released a flying shuttle to kill him.

Xu Heng watched coldly. He had originally thought of capturing this man and interrogating him, and had no intention of retaliating too much. Unexpectedly, just as he had this thought, he suddenly became alert: "Is there someone else hiding in the dark?"

Xu Heng's heart sank slightly. Since the beginning of his practice, his spiritual power has been far stronger than that of ordinary cultivators. The person who could almost hide from his perception must be no simple person. Although he might not be difficult to deal with, he should not be taken lightly.

As he thought of this, the spell in his hand changed. He put two fingers together and made a sword gesture pointing upwards.

Zheng——!
I saw the sword ball leap out, and a sword light of a hundred feet long rose up, instantly tearing through the air and arriving in front of the person who was chasing him.

The man's face turned horrified, as if he had not expected Xu Heng's sword to be so fast. He was about to cast a spell to respond, but unexpectedly he felt a pain in his chest.

It turned out that Xu Heng slashed with his sword without any pause, and had already chopped his flying shuttle into pieces. The magic weapon was destroyed, and under the backlash, he could not hold back his blood and immediately spurted out of his mouth.

What was even more unexpected was that at this moment, his breath became disordered, and his spellcasting was immediately interrupted. The next moment, the sword light approached his body, and without stopping for a moment, a big head flew up.

In a flash, there was a loud roar.

Amid the rumbling thunder, Xu Heng slowly retracted his sword moves, his expression remaining calm.

There are countless wonderful methods and Taoist techniques in the world, but the reason why sword skills are always ranked at the top is reflected here.

In front of the real superior swordsmanship, many methods will appear pale and powerless. If you don't have enough skills to resist, and can't respond very quickly, it will be difficult to even maneuver for a moment.

Perhaps victory or defeat, or even life, can be decided in just a moment.

With Xu Heng's current swordsmanship, he only needs one sword to kill the insects.

His mind was still more on guard against the person in the dark, but what surprised Xu Heng was that from the time he drew his sword to the time he put it away, the person did not take the opportunity to attack him. Instead, as the "fight" came to an end, the extremely secretive aura even showed signs of leaving.

"Hmm?" Xu Heng's heart moved, and suddenly his mind gathered, vaguely locking onto the secret aura, and then he slowly spoke: "Which Taoist friend is watching from the side, watching my show, but not showing up to see it?"
