Resurrection of all mankind

Chapter 262 Li Xiu's Sacrifice

The wilderness outside the Demon Mountain City.

In the dense forest.

Xie Shen and other Anqing Sect monks hid in the forest for about half a day when they suddenly saw a flash of purple light in the sky.

Seeing the light, Fatty Yan Zifan raised his eyebrows.

"It's the Master's signal!"

"It seems that the Yin-Yang Reversal Formation of the Demon Mountain Gate should have been activated!"

Hearing this, Senior Brother Long Chen looked at Xie Shen.

He said in disbelief: "Junior brother, you actually guessed all of this."

"Qi Feihu, the leader of the Demon Mountain Sect, really intends to trap and kill us cultivators!"

"Could it be that you really know how to predict the future?"

Xie Shen was unwilling to explain further about his rebirth.

So he was vague and took the initiative to change the subject: "Let's not talk about that for now. The most important thing at the moment is to stop the conspiracy of Qi Feihu, the leader of the Demon Mountain Sect."

Say it.

He waved his hand and summoned his natal flying sword magic weapon that he had nurtured for many years in his purple mansion.

Xie Shen leaped forward, stepped onto the flying sword, and rushed towards the top of the Demon Mountain.

When the other monks saw this, they all followed closely.

...

At the same time.

At the top of the Demon Mountain, the focus of the reversal of yin and yang.

Qi Feihu, the leader of the Demon Mountain Sect, crossed his arms across his chest with a serious expression on his face. He was looking at the scene of the Ten Thousand Immortals Conference without saying a word.

The elder beside him reported: "Master, I just asked someone to count the number of people."

"This time, more than 60% of the cultivators in the entire cultivation world came to participate in this conference."

"Compared to our last life, there are at least 800 more monks coming to participate in the conference this time."

As the elder spoke, he suddenly became a little excited.

He lowered his voice even more and said to Qi Feihu, "With these 800 more people, you should be able to cultivate this body to the Spiritual Transformation Stage before the world restarts, right?"

"Hard to say."

Qi Feihu shook his head.

He said helplessly: "Although in theory, after I cultivate this body to the Spiritual Transformation Stage, there will be a chance that my true body can be sensed by the Spiritual Sense, and then all of us can be rescued from the Sea of Laws."

"But now there are less than three years left before the whole world restarts."

"It's too difficult to break through to the Spiritual Transformation Stage in just three years!"

Qi Feihu recalled: "When I was not yet trapped inside the bronze statue, when I was still in the real world."

"I have seen a cultivator whose aptitude, talent and understanding can be said to be unmatched—Aotian Supreme."

“Even a genius like him took more than ten years to break through from the Nascent Soul stage to the Spiritualization stage.”

talking.

Qi Feihu shook his head again and repeated what he had just said: "Three years, I still feel it's too difficult!"

"Ugh"

The elder of the Demon Mountain Sect also showed a helpless expression.

He sighed and said, "No matter how difficult it is, we have to keep trying."

"Otherwise, once our lifespan is exhausted."

"Then our spirits will also dissipate in this world."

The elder of the Demon Sect said unwillingly: "It was not easy for us to learn the "Tongxin Minglu" technique in this world."

"We are only one step away from breaking through the fusion stage."

"If he died like this, wouldn't it be a pity?"

"Alas." After hearing what the elder said, the leader of the Demon Mountain Sect also let out a long sigh.

He waved his hand, unwilling to talk to the other party any more.

He just ordered: "No more talking, start the formation quickly."

"After so many years of preparation, success or failure depends on this one move."

After the order is issued.

The elder of Demon Mountain Sect bowed to Qi Feihu, said nothing more, and then turned around and left in silence.
...

This went on for about a quarter of an hour.

Suddenly, a barrier woven from countless black silk threads covered the entire top of the Demon Mountain.

As soon as this barrier appeared, it immediately caused an uproar among all the monks on the scene.

Among them, the casual cultivators who didn't know what was going on were observing the surroundings in confusion: "What's going on?"

There were also sect leaders with profound cultivation who shouted to their disciples, "Disciples, listen up! Everyone, move towards me. I will lead you out of this formation!"

There were also people who knew the leader of the Demon Mountain Sect. They looked around and shouted, "Qi Feihu? Where the hell are you? What the hell is going on?"

of course.

Among these people, there are also monks who, like the elders of the Demon Mountain Gate, chose to follow Qi Feihu after awakening their self-consciousness.

Seeing the Yin-Yang Reversal Formation being activated, these cultivators abandoned their fellow disciples and quietly gathered towards the center of the formation.

...

Just when the entire top of the Demon Mountain was in chaos.

The Anqing Sect monks, including Xie Shen, had also flown their swords and arrived at the top of the Demon Mountain in time.

With just one glance, everyone found Qi Feihu, the leader of the Demon Mountain Sect, who was at the center of the formation.

Not much communication.

As soon as the two sides met, Xie Shen controlled the flying sword under his feet and stabbed it straight towards Qi Feihu's chest.

With the advantage of being reborn, I have foreknowledge of everything.

In this life, Xie Shen has not only cultivated his own realm to the great perfection of the Golden Core Stage, but has also reached the point where there is no further progress.

The various techniques and skills he practiced were also world-class.

Even the flying sword in his hand is of the highest grade and most powerful one that can be found in the world.

It is expected that the Jindan stage cultivators at the same level would not be able to withstand a full-strength attack with such a high-specification configuration.

However.
Seeing a flying sword coming towards him, Qi Feihu remained calm.

He just raised his right arm slightly, and his right index finger and middle finger moved slightly. The next second, he saw that the flying sword was clamped between his two fingers.

"This"

When Anqing Sect's head, Yao Congyang, saw this, he immediately revealed an incredible expression: "Fang Han's flying sword was actually blocked by two fingers? How is this possible?"

Long Chen, who usually keeps quiet, was also shocked and frowned as he asked, "What is the level of Qi Feihu, the leader of the Demon Mountain Sect?"

They weren't the only ones shocked.

Xie Shen was also stunned by this sudden scene.

on the ground.

Qi Feihu, who was in the center of the Yin-Yang reversal formation, looked at Xie Shen and spoke to him with a smile.

"Fellow Daoist Fang Han."

"I haven't seen you for so many years. I hope you are doing well."

"Do you know me?" Xie Shen asked puzzledly.

Qi Feihu said: "Of course I know him."

"After all, I have personally visited your sect before and dealt with you thoroughly."

"Don't you remember?"

! !
Qi Feihu's words shocked Xie Shen, who was already surprised. Now, he was too lazy to pretend in front of his fellow disciples.

He simply asked Qi Feihu directly: "You are also a reborn person?"

"Ah."

Qi Feihu shook his head and chuckled, "Although Brother Fang's mental strength is extremely strong, as soon as you came to this world, you have become the best among many cultivators."

"But you have only experienced three reincarnations."

"Because you have reincarnated too few times, you are still unable to awaken your true self-consciousness."

“So, you may not understand what I’m doing right now.”

Qi Feihu looked at Xie Shen and said, "I guess, in your eyes, I am a devil who is plotting to dominate the world of immortal cultivation and has evil ambitions."

"I guess I guessed it right?"

Not just why.

After listening to Qi Feihu's meaningless words, Xie Shen felt that countless fragments of memories suddenly flashed through his sea of consciousness.

Earth Tower Prison. Li Xiu's Ark Spaceship.
These memories were strange, yet at the same time very familiar to Xie Shen, as if he had experienced them personally.

Under the impact of countless memories like a tide, Xie Shen held his forehead with his hand and looked painful.

He looked at Qi Feihu and asked, "What did you do to me?"

"I didn't do anything to you."

Qi Feihu explained: "The reason why you feel a headache right now is just because you suddenly awakened your self-consciousness."

"But it's obvious that you haven't awakened completely yet."

"I think if you reincarnate a dozen more times, you should be able to fully awaken your true self consciousness."

"So what exactly does the so-called ego consciousness refer to?" Xie Shen asked hurriedly after hearing this.

Qi Feihu shook his head slightly again.

He did not respond directly to Xie Shen's question, but raised his hand and cast a spell to condense a huge golden sword in front of him.

As he cast the spell, he said, "There is no point in talking any more."

"In order to prevent various accidents and mishaps from happening if things get delayed for too long, I'd better send you to reincarnation directly."

"It's just like I said, anyway."

"After you have reincarnated dozens of times, you will naturally understand everything."

Say it.

Qi Feihu suddenly waved his hand and controlled the huge golden sword to fly towards Xie Shen.

I don’t know why.

Qi Feihu was obviously only at the Jindan stage, but the golden sword of energy he condensed through spellcasting had a power that was no less powerful than that of a Yuanying stage cultivator.

Faced with such a fatal blow, Xie Shen immediately put his hand on the storage bag at his waist without hesitation and took out a white shield from it.

This shield is called Liangren Shield, and it is a golden elixir-level magic weapon.

This treasure was accidentally obtained by Xie Shen in a secret place when he was traveling in the world of immortal cultivation.

The word "Ren" in Liang Ren Shield means "nine" in ancient Chinese, and nine is the ultimate of Tao.

Therefore, the name Liangren Shield implies that this Jindan-level magic weapon has the ultimate defensive power that can be achieved among Jindan-level treasures.

According to the jade slip left in that secret realm:
——This Liangren Shield magic weapon can easily block any attack that does not exceed the power of the Jindan stage.

But even a treasure with such powerful defense could not stop Qi Feihu's golden sword.

This shield only blocked the golden sword for less than five breaths.

After five breaths, the shield broke into countless pieces and shattered into pieces. After the pieces fell to the ground, they quickly condensed together again and returned to the shape of a shield.

But the white light that it had before was gone.

It has obviously lost its magic.

I think it will take several days to recuperate before it can be used in battle again.

air.

Without his shield, Xie Shen could no longer resist the power of the golden sword.

With no other options, he had to use Feng Xu's magical power of controlling the wind, trying to rely on his own speed to avoid the fatal blow of the golden sword.

But how could a cultivator be faster than a magical weapon of the same level?
...

On top of the Demon Mountain.

Seeing that there was no way to avoid the golden sword, Xie Shen was about to die at the hands of Qi Feihu.

At the critical moment.

A black shadow suddenly appeared in front of Xie Shen and blocked the golden sword.

air.

Accompanied by the sound of metal clashing.

Under the obstruction of the black shadow, the momentum of the golden sword was exhausted and it quickly dissipated into nothingness in front of everyone's eyes.

Without the dazzling light emitted by the golden sword, the monks were finally able to see the true face of the black shadow.

——It was a mortal wearing black and gold armor, floating in mid-air.

After sensing that the man had no cultivation, Qi Feihu said solemnly: "Friend, can you introduce yourself? How come I have never seen you before?"

The mortal in black and gold armor ignored Qi Feihu and just looked at Xie Shen, speaking without a trace of emotion.

"Finally found you, Xie Shen."

Xie Shen?

Hearing this extremely familiar name, Xie Shen frowned and asked, "Have I used this name before?"

midair.

The mortal in black and gold armor did not explain the word "Xie Shen".

He placed his hand on the bridge of the helmet and gently pushed it up.

As he moved, the helmet split open to both sides, revealing the true face of the wearer.

——The man wore a pair of black-framed metal glasses on his nose. His face was thin and his eyes were bright, but strangely, they did not have even a hint of spirit.
The moment he saw this familiar face, Xie Shen felt as if a thunderbolt had struck his mind.

He blurted out, "Li Xiu? Is that you?"

Hearing this, Li Xiu looked at Xie Shen curiously and asked, "How come you can remember me?"

Xie Shen looked confused and said, "I don't know."

"The moment I saw your face, I pronounced your name instinctively."

"My intuition tells me that you are important to me."

"But I really can't remember who you are."

In fact, it’s not just Xie Shen.

All the cultivators at the scene, including Qi Feihu, the leader of the Demon Mountain Sect, were extremely curious about Li Xiu's true identity.

So Qi Feihu couldn't help but ask Li Xiu again: "Friend, can you introduce yourself?"

"Who are you?"

"How can a mere mortal like you fly directly into the sky without any cultivation?"

"It even easily blocked my golden sword."
