Invincible in the Universe: Work hard to master the skills, become a flying knife god
Chapter 312: Ancient Forbidden Land, 3 Lives, 3 Worlds, Kunlun Recognizes the Master
"What about the rest?"
"Qing Xuan was teleported to the real ancestral land of Tianji Pavilion, where she found the opportunity she needed. As for Wang Lin..." Nangong Wan looked into the depths of the starry sky, "He got what he wanted and is now undergoing the Ancient God Trial."
Qin Shuang looked down at his right arm and found that it had completely turned bronze, with more ancient runes appearing on it.
"Tianyunzi"
"Don't worry." Nangong Wan smiled slightly, "He is paying the price for his greed at this moment."
As if to confirm her words, a shrill scream suddenly came from the starry sky. A meteor streaked across the sky, and Tian Yunzi's figure could be vaguely seen struggling in it.
Qin Shuang took a deep breath: "What should we do next?"
Nangong Wan, or the awakened inheritor of the Moon God, pointed to the depths of the starry sky: "The Donghuang Bell guides us there. The next treasure, the Kunlun Mirror, is waiting for us in the world of Shrouding the Sky."
She gently grasped Qin Shuang's bronze right arm: "The battlefield of the universe is about to reopen, and the inspectors are searching for the remaining treasures in various worlds. We must get ahead of them."
Qin Shuang nodded, his eyes firm: "Then let's go to the world of covering the sky."
The starry sky began to rotate, and countless stars flowed before his eyes. At the moment of transmission, Qin Shuang seemed to hear a familiar voice whispering in his ear: "Be careful. The eyes in the Bronze Immortal Palace"
The feeling of the starry sky spinning gradually faded, and Qin Shuang's feet finally stepped on solid ground. He opened his eyes, and what came into view was a red land, and in the distance, the mountains were undulating, like a blood-stained dragon crawling on the horizon.
"Is this the world of Zhutian?" Qin Shuang looked around and found that the concentration of spiritual energy was much thinner than that of the world of Xianni, and there was a depressing atmosphere in the air.
Nangong Wan stood beside him, her silver hair fluttering gently in the breeze. After awakening the blood of the Moon Goddess, her temperament became even more pure and elegant, and the moon in her hand emitted a soft light.
"The guidance of the Donghuang Bell is correct. The Kunlun Mirror is in this world." She raised her hand, and the moon wheel projected a blurry map. "It should be somewhere in the north."
Qin Shuang tried to circulate the spiritual power in his body, but found that it was suppressed in some way. "The rules of this world are a bit strange. My cultivation is limited to the Spiritualization Stage."
Nangong Wan nodded: "I feel the same way. However, the power of the Moon Goddess seems to be unaffected, but even more active."
As the two were talking, a sound of fighting suddenly came from the distance. Qin Shuang swept his consciousness and found that ten miles away, a group of cultivators were besieging a huge beast.
"Let's go and take a look." Qin Shuang took Nangong Wan's hand and appeared near the battlefield in a flash.
The scene was frightening. Five monks in different clothes were fighting with a three-eyed demon wolf. Two corpses were lying on the ground. The demon wolf was completely black, with a vertical pupil on its forehead glowing blood red. Every time it attacked, it brought blood and rain.
"The beast from the Dao Palace secret realm!" a middle-aged cultivator shouted, "Form the Big Dipper formation!"
The five monks quickly changed positions and each used their magic weapons. However, the demon wolf was too powerful and smashed a bronze mirror magic weapon with one claw, causing the monk to spit blood and fall to the ground.
“Not good!” Nangong Wan cried out softly, and the Moon Wheel flew out of her hand.
Silver light streaked across the sky, accurately hitting the third eye of the demon wolf. The beast howled miserably and twisted its body madly. Qin Shuang took the opportunity to attack, and his bronze right arm grabbed the air, and the invisible force directly crushed the demon wolf's head!
The remaining four cultivators stared in amazement at the two people who suddenly appeared, especially Nangong Wan's silver hair and moon wheel, which made them look in awe.
"Thank you for your help, seniors!" The middle-aged monk stepped forward and saluted, "I am Zhao Shanhe, the elder of Ziyang Sect. May I know your name, seniors?"
Qin Shuang waved his hand: "I'm just passing by. Why are you fighting with the beast here?"
Zhao Shanhe smiled bitterly: "To be honest, we are here to collect the red blood vine to treat the sect master. This beast is guarding the elixir, so we have no choice but to..."
Nangong Wan looked in the direction of the wolf's lair, and indeed saw several blood-red vines growing in the cracks of the rocks. "You guys go get the medicine, we have something to ask you."
The four cultivators thanked him profusely and went to collect the red blood vine, while Qin Shuang asked Zhao Shanhe about the situation of this world.
During the conversation, he learned that the world of Zhatian is divided into five major regions: East Desert, West Desert, South Ridge, North Plain and Central Plain. The realms of cultivators range from the Wheel Sea, Dao Palace, Four Poles, Dragon Transformation to the Immortal Platform. What caught Qin Shuang's attention the most was a place mentioned by Zhao Shanhe - the Ancient Forbidden Land.
"The ancient forbidden land is in the northern region. Legend has it that it is the burial place of an ancient great man." Zhao Shanhe lowered his voice, "Some people say that there is a secret to becoming an immortal, but anyone who enters there will die."
Qin Shuang and Nangong Wan looked at each other. The direction indicated by the Donghuang Bell was the Northern Region!
After bidding farewell to the people of Ziyang Sect, the two flew straight north. As the distance shortened, the moon in Nangong Wan's hand shone brighter and brighter.
"Strange." Nangong Wan frowned, "I feel the power of the Moon Goddess cheering, as if I have returned to my hometown."
Qin Shuang also noticed something unusual: "My bronze right arm also reacted. Could it be that the ancient forbidden land is related to the warriors of the heavens?"
Three days later, the two arrived at a strange area. The ground in front of them suddenly sank, forming a huge pit with a diameter of hundreds of miles. The pit was filled with mist, and the outline of ruined buildings could be vaguely seen.
"Is this the ancient forbidden land?" Qin Shuang stood on the edge of the huge pit and felt a palpitation, "It seems to have been smashed out by something."
Nangong Wan's silver hair moved without wind: "It wasn't smashed, it was dropped."
She pointed into the depths of the fog. “Something is calling me out there.”
The two entered the forbidden area cautiously. As soon as they crossed the border, Qin Shuang felt a strong pressure, and her cultivation was suppressed even more. On the contrary, Nangong Wan's Moon God power became more active, and the moon wheel automatically floated above her head, shedding a cool light.
The scene in the forbidden area was shocking. Huge bronze fragments were scattered among the ruins, some of which were engraved with ancient runes. Qin Shuang picked up a piece and found that it was very similar to the pattern on his right arm.
"these are"
"Fragments of the Heavenly Palace." Nangong Wan said softly, "This was once a part of the ancient Heavenly Palace."
As the two were examining the ruins, fog suddenly rolled in. A hoarse voice came from all directions:
"Anyone who trespasses into the forbidden area will die!"
Dozens of black shadows rushed out of the fog at an astonishing speed. Qin Shuang looked closely and found that they were humanoid creatures with blue-gray skin and pale eyes without pupils.
"Wild slaves!" Nangong Wan reminded, "A monk cursed by the forbidden land!"
Qin Shuang's bronze right arm shone brightly, and he punched out, smashing the barbarian slaves who were rushing in the front. However, these monsters seemed to be immortal, and the fragments quickly reassembled.
Nangong Wan formed seals with her hands, and the moon wheel spun into the sky: "Moonlight. Purification!"
Silver light fell like rain, and the barbarians that were illuminated screamed shrilly, and black smoke came out of their bodies. This time they did not reassemble, but turned into ashes.
"The power of the Moon Goddess is their nemesis." Nangong Wan explained.
As the two of them went deeper, the barbarians they encountered became stronger and stronger. There were even a few times when terrifying beings comparable to the Xiantai realm appeared, and they were able to pass through only thanks to Nangong Wan's Moon God power.
Finally, they arrived at the center of the forbidden area. There stood a half-collapsed palace, and in the square in front of the palace stood twelve stone pillars, eleven of which were broken, and only one was intact.
"This is..." Qin Shuang approached the intact stone pillar, on which was carved a statue of a goddess holding a round mirror.
Nangong Wan suddenly trembled all over: "Kunlun. Queen Mother of the West!" The moment she called out this name, the eyes of the goddess on the stone pillar lit up with blue light. The entire forbidden area began to shake, and a bright blue light column rose from the ruins of the palace!
"Kunlun Mirror!" Qin Shuang exclaimed.
However, before they could make any move, a dozen figures suddenly appeared around them and surrounded the two of them. These people were wearing the same white robes with the word "Kunlun" embroidered on their chests.
“The descendants of Kunlun.” Nangong Wan’s face was solemn. “The descendants of the legendary Queen Mother of the West.”
The leader was a white-haired old woman holding a dragon-headed cane, her eyes as sharp as a knife: "How can outsiders know how to awaken the divine pillar? Who are you?"
Qin Shuang stepped forward and said, "We are here for the Kunlun Mirror. This is about the survival of the universe."
The old woman sneered: "Arrogant! The Kunlun Mirror is a sacred object of our clan, how can we allow outsiders to covet it!"
She waved her hand, and more than a dozen Kunlun survivors attacked at the same time, and various magic weapons shone brightly. Qin Shuang and Nangong Wan fought back to back, and for a while, the light was radiant and the roar continued.
During the fierce battle, Nangong Wan's silver hair suddenly moved without wind, and the Moon Wheel escaped from control and flew towards the intact stone pillar. The moment it touched the goddess statue, the Moon Wheel and the stone pillar produced a wonderful resonance, and a blue light curtain enveloped the entire square.
All the Kunlun survivors stopped at the same time and looked at this scene in shock.
"Moon Goddess. Bloodline." The old woman's voice trembled, "This is impossible."
In the blue light, Nangong Wan's body slowly floated into the air. Her silver hair fell like a waterfall, and the moon and the goddess statue on the stone pillar simultaneously shone brightly.
"It's really the blood of the Moon God." The old woman from the Kunlun clan knelt on the ground, and her dragon-headed cane fell to the side. "I am Yao Ji, and I am here to meet the descendant of the Moon God!"
Seeing this, the other Kunlun survivors also knelt down. Qin Shuang stood vigilantly below Nangong Wan, ready to help at any time.
Nangong Wan opened her eyes, and there seemed to be a moon in her eyes: "Where is the Kunlun Mirror?"
Yao Ji replied respectfully: "Reporting to Lord Moon God, the Holy Mirror is sealed deep in the Holy Land. Only those who pass the test of 'Three Lives and Three Worlds' can obtain it."
"Three lives, three worlds?" Qin Shuang frowned, "What do you mean?"
Yao Ji explained: "This is a test left by the Queen Mother of the West. One must go through three reincarnations and understand one's true heart before one can be recognized by the Holy Mirror."
Nangong Wan slowly fell from the sky, and the Moon Wheel returned to her hand: "Take me there."
Yao Ji hesitated for a moment: "Lord Moon God, this test is extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, your soul will be torn apart."
"No problem." Nangong Wan said firmly, "Lead the way."
Under the guidance of the Kunlun descendants, Qin Shuang and Nangong Wan came to the depths of the palace. There was a circular altar with a palm-sized bronze mirror suspended in the center of the altar, with the word "Kunlun" engraved on the frame.
"Is this the Kunlun Mirror?" Qin Shuang was a little surprised. "It's much smaller than I thought."
Yao Ji said respectfully: "The Holy Mirror can be big or small. A big one can cover the sky, or a small one can fit in the palm of your hand."
Nangong Wan walked straight to the altar: "How do you accept the test?"
Yao Ji took out a jade slip and said, "Please, Lord Moon God, drop your blood on the mirror, and the holy mirror will guide you into the reincarnation fantasy."
Nangong Wan looked at Qin Shuang, who nodded and said, "I will protect you."
The silver-haired woman bit her fingertips, and a drop of blood sparkling with the light of the moon fell on the Kunlun Mirror. Ripples suddenly appeared on the mirror surface, and a blue light enveloped Nangong Wan.
"Wan'er!" Qin Shuang wanted to step forward but was stopped by Yao Ji.
"Senior, please do not disturb me, otherwise the Moon Goddess will be in danger."
Qin Shuang could only watch as Nangong Wan's figure gradually blurred in the blue light and finally disappeared.
“Where did she go?”
Yao Ji shook her head: "I don't know. The test of three lives and three worlds varies from person to person. Some people experience the calamity of love in the mortal world, while others encounter the disaster of life and death. It all depends on one's heart to lead the way."
Qin Shuang was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked: "How long have you, the descendants of Kunlun, been guarding here?"
"It has been 18000 years since the fall of the ancient heaven." Yao Ji's eyes showed a look of reminiscence, "Our ancestors followed the orders of the Queen Mother of the West and guarded the Holy Mirror for generations, waiting for the destined person."
"The Queen Mother of the West is also one of the heavenly warriors?"
Yao Ji was surprised: "Senior, you know the generals of the heavens? That's right, the Queen Mother of the West is the leader of the twelve generals, holding the Kunlun Mirror and guarding the South Gate of Heaven."
Qin Shuang raised his bronze right arm: "I inherited the blood of a warrior."
Yao Ji and the other descendants of Kunlun were all in awe when they saw this. The old woman trembled and said, "No wonder. No wonder the Holy Mirror reacted. The day when the blood of the twelve warriors gathers together, it will be the day when the Heavenly Court will be restored!"
At this moment, the Kunlun Mirror suddenly vibrated violently, and the figure of Nangong Wan emerged on the mirror. She was standing in a starry sky, with three different light gates in front of her.
"The first life has begun." Yao Ji whispered.
The scene in the mirror changed, and Nangong Wan entered the first light gate. She became an ordinary village girl and fell in love with a scholar. However, war broke out, and the scholar was conscripted and died on the battlefield. The village girl was heartbroken and committed suicide by jumping into the river.
"Love tribulation." Yao Ji sighed, "It is the most difficult to overcome."
In the second light gate, Nangong Wan became a female general, leading thousands of troops to fight on the battlefield. In a tragic battle, she was alone in order to save her subordinates, and eventually died of exhaustion.
"Yi Jie." Yao Ji nodded, "Lord Moon God has great righteousness in his heart."
In the third light gate, Nangong Wan regained her original appearance, but was in darkness. Countless shadows entangled her, howling miserably. The most terrifying thing was that Qin Shuang's face emerged from the shadows, holding the Qingming Sword and stabbing at her heart!
"Heart Devil Tribulation!" Yao Ji's face changed drastically, "This is the most dangerous test!"
Qin Shuang clenched his fists and looked at Nangong Wan in the mirror, who was pierced through the heart by "himself" with a sword, and the blood dyed the silver-white robe red. However, the next moment, the dying Nangong Wan smiled.
"It's fake." She whispered, "Qin Shuang will never hurt me."
The darkness receded like a tide, and the starry sky reappeared. The three Nangong Wan figures merged into one, and their aura was several times stronger than before!
"Passed!" Yao Ji knelt down excitedly, "Lord Moon God has passed the test of three lives and three worlds!"
The Kunlun Mirror shone brightly, and Nangong Wan walked out of the mirror. Her silver hair was even more brilliant, and the moon had merged with her brow, forming a silver crescent mark.
"Wan'er!" Qin Shuang stepped forward and held her hand. "Are you okay?"
Nangong Wan smiled slightly, her eyes full of vicissitudes: "Three reincarnations, it seems like a lifetime ago." She looked at the suspended Kunlun mirror, "Now, it recognizes me as its master." (End of this chapter)
