In the end of the world, I become an immortal alone.

Chapter 618: Dark Clouds Rising

The temple was empty;

The silence between heaven and earth was abnormal.

Wang Jixuan's curse words are still echoing in the ears and hearts of various masters; they can't be said to be heart-wrenching, nor will they make these masters feel any twisted pleasure. The only thing here is tit-for-tat and no retreat.

Jian Jiu, who had attacked from high in the air, calmly put away his sword.

Jian Jiu snorted disdainfully, said nothing, and disappeared.

As the shadow of Bharata disappeared, the entire temple fell into a low-pressure atmosphere.

Wang Jixuan heaved a sigh of relief, and some cold sweat on his back was evaporated by him; but he remained calm on the surface, as if everything was under his control and he was sure of victory.

Suddenly, Master Wang heard a voice.

The voice seemed to be there and not there, it was sent by the Heavenly Worm, Bula, from somewhere unknown:

"The negotiations broke down, right? I came here in vain. If that's the case, then we can only fight to the death... I admire you very much. Hei Yao is just your substitute, and you should have realized this...

“If the material universe subsequently suffers severe damage or even destruction, you will also bear a small part of the responsibility.

"You've left me with no way out, so I had to do this... If it weren't for Mudan's threat, I would have killed you directly, but now, we are stuck in a game of single-plank bridge.

"You say I'm trash, but aren't you trash too? You can't protect anything.

"Wang Jixuan."

The three words "Wang Jixuan" seemed to become a magic sound, constantly circling around Wang Jixuan's ears.

Taoist Wang shook his head vigorously, and the power of his soul burst out, clearing the remaining sound from his ears.

He was about to continue scolding the bug when it disappeared.

"Wang, Junior Brother Wang..."

Feng was swallowing his saliva:
"No! Just start scolding me?"

"if not?"

Wang Jixuan stood with his hands behind his back, looking calm and relaxed as if he had won an argument. He said calmly:

"This is my mortal enemy. Do I have to show sympathy to him to be considered a superior?
"This divisive guy is just a filthy monster.

"Just tell me if I was right to scold you."

Feng Zheng gave a thumbs up.

Bai Ning's eyes sparkled: "Junior Brother Wang is right, that's how it should be. It's just that cursing like this is a bit rude... I don't mind it."

Feng Zheng silently took half a step back.

Wang Jixuan smiled without saying anything, raised his head and looked towards the horizon, but there was no one there.

The appearance of Bharata should cause a stir among all the forces;
But even Wang Jixuan didn’t know what this guy was trying to do.

He turned around and was about to leave, with doubts in his heart. He could only go to discuss with a few people he completely trusted.

"Eh?"

Bai Ning suddenly pointed to the sky and asked:
"What's over there?"

Wang Jixuan looked up and saw rolling clouds of fire in the sky in all directions and in the distance.

There seemed to be bursts of tiger roars and dragon howls between heaven and earth, and the entire world was bathed in fairy light.

Rumble, rumble——

The earth began to tremble continuously.

Jian Jiu appeared behind Wang Jixuan and the other two with a swish, guarding against possible threats.

However, this change in heaven and earth only lasted for a few breaths.

The fiery clouds in the sky disappeared, and the fairy light between heaven and earth was nowhere to be seen, which was really puzzling.

Jian Jiu calculated with his fingers, looking a little confused.

Wang Jixuan asked: "Teacher, what's wrong?"

"I didn't figure out anything. I'm not very good at magic calculations."

Jian Jiu shook his head slightly:

"Go back first."

Wang Jixuan agreed and was taken away alone by Jian Jiu.

Before Wang Jixuan entered the main fairy island formation of the Sword God Palace, he saw hundreds of streams of light flying in all directions from all parts of the Sword God Palace.

Hundreds of Sword God Palace masters are out investigating.

……

After a while.

Taoist Wang summoned Chishe, Mudan, Xiaohuating, Shen Qionglin, and also invited his teacher Jianjiu, as well as the "landlord" of the third base, Luoshan Jushi.

Everyone met to discuss in the spire that had just been built in the third base.

Mechanical bodies shuttled back and forth, and several silver-white female robots wearing maid outfits brought them tea and snacks.

When she was not alone with Wang Jixuan, Mudan rarely served tea and water.

After all, she is the queen of the entire mechanical civilization. She bows and kneels before her only master based on their master-servant agreement. When facing other people, Mudan still has to care about the thoughts of other mechanical bodies.

Wang Jixuan got straight to the point: "I always felt something was wrong when Bola came out to see me this time."

"Well," Shen Qionglin said, "his appearance should be a big deal. According to normal logic, he would only show up in person when he has no other choice and his forces can't solve the problem."

“Isn’t it now?” Red Snake asked back, “Why do I feel like he was about to show up in person to recruit us, but he was chopped off before he could finish his words.”

Everyone looked at Jian Jiu.

Wang Jixuan smiled and told them everything that Pola had said last time.

Single-plank bridge game.

Now Wang Jixuan and Bola are on a single-plank bridge. Both of them are moving forward, and eventually one of them will fall off the bridge.

Luoshan Lay Buddhist was surprised and asked, "Bola said that Peony can threaten him?"

"Well," Wang Jixuan nodded, "This matter is very complicated to explain. It can be said that the reason why Bola regards me as his opponent is because of the existence of Peony."

Peony showed a charming smile beside her.

She liked Wang Jixuan bragging about her to others.

Jian Jiu and Luo Shan looked Mudan up and down.

Mudan said softly, "In fact, the fact that I am one with the master is what Bola fears. The master's will has made me determined to fight him to the end. What he fears is that I will use the vast universe to develop into a super civilization that he cannot handle, and in turn destroy him... That's probably it. The details are confidential, and I can't explain it to you."

Jian Jiu nodded slightly.

There was a hint of depth in the way Mr. Luoshan looked at Mudan.

Xiao Hua Ting asked: "Isn't it said that Po Luo can use the rules of heaven to see through the past and future? Could it be that our plan this time will have a great impact on him, so he is forced to show up?"

Mudan smiled and said, "Normally this is the logic, but in fact, the other party has revealed a flaw."

"Flaw?" Chishe was also a little puzzled. "What flaw?" Wang Jixuan said: "He didn't do anything after he showed up. I just scolded him a few times, and then he left in shame. He also left a message to threaten me... It seems like he showed up just for the sake of showing up."

"Could it be," Xiao Hua Ting's mind hadn't fully come to its senses yet, and she gestured meaninglessly with her hands, "Bola only thinks that you, Teacher, are an opponent he deserves to face, and other masters are not worth worrying about because they are within the system of the fairy world?"

"It can't be that simple, can it?"

Wang Jixuan shook his head and lowered his head to think.

Mudan crossed her arms and leaned slightly against the silver-gray alloy wall, saying quickly, "His appearance must be something serious. If he wants to stop us, he actually has various ways to do it. He doesn't have to show up... For example, the method of incense and merit in the immortal world is a very long process. If Pala directly sent down heavenly fire and burned down these temples, those mortals would naturally be afraid. Is it worth it for him to come here in person for this matter?"

"That's true."

Mr. Luoshan said softly:
“The divine punishment I experienced was naturally the work of this Bola.

"This is enough to prove that he has been able to interfere with the basic operation of the Heavenly Dao. It will not be a problem for him to use the Heavenly Dao to stop us from advancing this matter."

Taoist Wang asked, "Why did he come here?"

"It may be that we are deliberately given misleading information."

The red snake muttered:
"He wants to take advantage of our mentality - what the enemy opposes is what we want to do - deliberately showing up and pretending to stop us, but in fact he is hoping that we will advance this plan so that he can achieve some ulterior motive?"

"That doesn't make sense," Luo Shan Lay Buddhist shook his head. "We were originally planning to push this matter forward. If it was beneficial to him, he could just hide and wait, or help in secret."

Shen Qionglin said: "I don't understand its motives either. If we put ourselves into his perspective, we will find that he doesn't need too many resources to stop us. And we are only doing the first experiment. Bola's reaction is excessive, but there must be some reason. Ninety percent of his public appearances are not for such a simple purpose."

"He's here to throw a smoke bomb?"

The red snake shook his head:
"According to this statement, there are various ways to use smoke bombs. There is no need to show up in person."

Wang Jixuan said: "Unless he showed up on purpose."

Chishe suddenly realized: "Could they be deliberately creating confusion?"

Wang Jixuan nodded: "Bola showed up on his own initiative, it is possible that he wanted to attract our attention and advance a plan that is more important to him."

Luo Shan asked back, "That doesn't make sense. If he wanted to do something, he could just do it secretly. Why show up and attract our attention? Isn't that superfluous?"

Shen Qionglin murmured: "What is this guy's purpose, or what is the driving force behind everything he does?"

Several people were thinking and calculating.

At this moment, a streak of light flew out from Jian Jiu's sleeves and transformed into the shadow of a sword dance.

Jian Wu and Jian Jiu looked at each other but did not say anything to disturb their thoughts.

Jian Wu said, "Ninth Junior Brother, Ji Xuan and the others seem to really want to get rid of the Heavenly Dao Bug, and they are not just using this as a slogan to call on the heroes."

Jian Jiu couldn't help but smile.

He replied in a voice transmission: "Ji Xuan is a stubborn child. He really doesn't care much about power. You can see it from the route of each of his sword intentions."

Jianwu nodded slightly and she coughed lightly.

"Cough cough."

"Uncle Master, why are you here?"

"Well, I've been hiding in your master's sleeve and listening for a while."

Jian Wu laughed and said:

"Everyone's analysis is very reasonable. Several great elders just passed on some news. I came here to share it with you. Maybe it will be inspiring to you."

Wang Jixuan hurriedly said, "Uncle Master, please speak."

"Then let me start with the less serious problems.

"One is that they worked together to deduce and question the Great Dao, and confirmed that it was indeed Bola, the insect of the Heavenly Dao, who appeared today."

Jian Wu sighed faintly:

“Then, the moment Pola took the initiative to show up, several great elders lost their sense of the Way of Heaven.

“This is also the secret of the Daluo Golden Immortal.

"Once you become a Daluo Jinxian, you will become the ruler of this great way, and accordingly you will be able to obtain a portion of the authority of the Heavenly Dao. The battles between Daluo Jinxians are not just a clash of magical powers and treasures, but also a fight of Dao principles.

"In ancient times, if the Golden Immortals had not fought so fiercely that the Heavenly Dao had not been flawed, the Heavenly Dao Worm would not have had the opportunity to take advantage of it."

Wang Jixuan: ...

Jianwu gave out key information again.

Mudan tilted her head slightly and began to correct some of her previous misconceptions.

Jian Wu continued, "A serious problem has arisen. Several great elders have already contacted other great masters of the human race, and they are also unable to sense the Heavenly Dao. The Heavenly Dao has rejected the calls of all the Great Golden Immortals and the masters of the Great Dao."

The red snake whispered: "That bug is going to do something big!"

"Anything else?" Shen Qionglin asked directly, "The information that the top immortals in the immortal world can provide is very important to us. We are far inferior to them."

Jian Wu nodded: "There is also a piece of news that I just received a moment ago, which is also the biggest trouble now... A layer of time and space barrier has appeared on the periphery of the fairyland, and the concentration of spiritual energy between heaven and earth has begun to increase abnormally rapidly, and it is already close to the ancient times."

"Space-time barrier?"

Wang Jixuan was stunned:

"What is the effect?"

"It's not clear yet," Jian Wu said, "However, the several celestial immortals and two golden immortal elders we sent to the mortal world to investigate the Dark Cult's massacre of mortals have lost contact at the same time."

Mudan said: "Let me verify it... Yes, the connection between the fairy world and the lower world has been cut off. The only thing that has not been cut off is quantum communication."

Jianwu asked: "Quantum communication? What is that?"

"It's a sign of the high maturity of mechanical civilization," Mudan said with a smile, "It can transmit information with zero delay. However, the technology I have now can only transmit simple information, not anything too complicated."

Wang Jixuan brought the topic back to the topic: "Bola's appearance is full of doubts. Instead of guessing here, why not collect more information, Mudan?"

"Boss, we are trying our best to track the energy signal left by Po Luo."

Peony shrugged:

“But we don’t have too many detectors deployed in the fairyland at this stage. The fairyland is too big. It is not a sphere, but a complex land. Our detectors can only monitor 13% of the area at this stage.

“Give me at least 20 years to build a preliminary monitoring network.

"That's assuming the enemy doesn't conduct targeted cleanup."

Jian Wu understood this time: "The Sword God Palace can send experts to help collect information. You can give those detectors to us and we will send them to various places."

Mudan smiled and said, "That couldn't be better."

"There is no time to lose," Wang Jixuan urged, "We must now figure out what this Bola is doing, so I'll trouble you, Master."

Jianwu and Mudan agreed at the same time.

Jian Jiu said, "Master, I will also go and ask the Great Dao and try."

"Teacher," Wang Jixuan volunteered, "I want to act with you."

"good."

Jian Jiu did not remind Wang Jixuan of the danger here.

After all, in Jian Jiu's opinion, his apprentice is thoughtful and considers things more thoroughly than he, a martial artist and swordsman, and will never take risks easily.

The actual Wang Jixuan:
Since I'm free anyway, I might as well try to get some information from the Sea of ​​Dao!
