The Heavens: Man Covers the Heavens, Refines Treasures to Become an Emperor

Chapter 177 Zhang Lin
Passing the place where the stone book was stored, the three of them walked into a path surrounded by thorns and vines, heading towards the deepest part of Purple Mountain.

The surrounding vines and thorns are lush green and look full of life, but beneath the thorns and vines is a corpse. After being drained of its essence and weathered for a long time, only bones are left.

But these corpses were not human, but of various strange shapes.

"These things look so disgusting. Are they the corpses of some animals?" Even Zixia, who was sober and calm, frowned at this moment.

These are the remains of ancient creatures, some of which have different structures from humans." Jiang Xuan said calmly as he walked along the quiet path.

Yao Xi looked at these corpses curiously, as if he wanted to see what the difference was between ancient creatures and humans.

The path gradually became wider, the thorns and vines disappeared, and instead a waterfall fell, colorful and surrounded by spiritual energy, looking like a fairyland.

Jiang Xuan looked up at the sky. The power of the rules of this place was resisting the three of them from getting close, but it was normal to think about it.

After all, this is considered the cenotaph of the Wu Shi Great Emperor. Without the Wu Shi Jade as proof, it is normal to be resisted.

Fortunately, their power remained at the level of rules and did not involve the Dao patterns, so Jiang Xuan was able to protect the three people and allow them to enter freely.

In front of the waterfall is a divine source that has been opened, but has lost its energy.

"It's such a waste of such a large piece of divine source!" Yao Xi said with eyes wide open.

Jiang Xuan chuckled and said, "Will you lack cultivation resources in Yaochi Holy Land?"

Yao Xi shook her head: "That's different! The feeling of treasure hunting is what makes people happy!"

"Then I didn't see you showing any interest in the Sutra of Infinite Beginning just now."

"The Queen Mother of the West once said that the Beginningless Sutra can only be practiced by those with the innate holy body of Taoism. It will be of no use if I want it." Yao Xi said righteously.

Across the waterfall, there is a row of crystal coffins in front, engraved with dense but dim avenue patterns, as well as some ancient divine texts. These are the former subordinates of the Immortal Emperor.

Inside the crystal coffins were horrible corpses with dry and hideous faces, dark skin, and dry and yellow hair. Just one look at them would make people feel that they were surrounded by negative energy and shrouded in all kinds of ominous things.

Jiang Xuan raised his head and looked at the row of coffins. He saw a black human-like shadow passing by in the distance, as if probing the strength of the intruder. Jiang Xuan didn't need to look to know that the figure was Zhang Lin.

"Let's go! This coffin is too creepy!"

The three of them walked past the coffin and continued to walk inside. After only ten minutes or so, the ancient road finally came to an end. The surroundings became peaceful and quiet. The number of orchid dragon grass gradually increased, and a faint purple auspiciousness appeared on the cliff wall.

At the end of the road is a huge platform. There is nothing above the platform, but the aura of chaos is swirling in the sky. The condensed and entangled chaotic energy would occasionally fall on the platform. Just a ray of chaotic energy makes people feel heavy, as if it is going to crush the world.

As the chaotic aura descended, in the haziness Jiang Xuan seemed to see an eternal and unchanging figure sitting on the stage, emitting an aura of confidence that came from the ancient times and suppressed all things. The unclear eyes seemed to look at the three people present through time and space.

Jiang Xuan frowned slightly. Just a remnant of the past, or the retention of history, had already made him feel the instinctive pressure from heaven and earth. He was still far from being the Great Emperor Wu Shi.

"I seem to have seen the Great Emperor Wu Shi!" Yao Xi swallowed hard. She seemed to have lost her memory in the previous moment, and there was only an ancient figure left in her mind.

Zixia's expression remained unchanged, she closed her eyes as if she was realizing something!
Although it was only a fleeting glimpse of the innate holy body of the Great Emperor Wu Shi, she felt too much power, and her body trembled under the influence of the same source.

"Haha! I didn't expect there are so many medicine kings here! I really made a fortune this time when I went to the tomb!" Duan De's mean voice came from behind the three people.

Turning his head, Duan De's eyes lit up, and his saliva was about to flow out when he looked at the dozen or so medicinal king plants under the Wu Shi Dao stage!

Jiang Xuan looked at Duan De behind him with a slightly raised brow. Ever since he passed by the dozen or so coffins, he could feel that the red-haired monster had been following them towards the depths. Now Duan De had caught up with it, and was only a few meters away from the red-haired monster. Hiding in the darkness above, Duan De still hadn't noticed the other party.

"Jiang Xuan! I am Ye Fan's good brother! I have heard Ye Fan mention you too many times, and I didn't expect that we would meet here!" Duan De walked towards Jiang Xuan with a familiar look.

At this moment, the red-haired monster hiding in the darkness suddenly pounced forward, its red eyes filled with murderous intent, without any personal consciousness at all!

"What is this!" Duan De exclaimed. His fat body seemed quite agile.

"Hey! Brother Jiang Xuan! Help!" Duan De screamed.

Jiang Xuan looked at the other person quietly. Although he was screaming loudly, he was not injured yet. In his heart, he was just thinking about diverting the trouble to someone else.

"Brother Jiang Xuan! Ye Fan and I have a life-long friendship! You can't just stand by and watch me die!"

"Between life and death, do you mean that you cheated him out of a lot of treasures and sold him to the demon clan?" Jiang Xuan chuckled.

Duan De was stunned when he heard this, and was instantly torn by the red-haired monster. He hissed coldly and said, "That happened a long time ago! Besides, he also took a piece of my mysterious green copper! Don't worry about his loss!"

"So you left your aura on me to see why my strength improved so quickly?"

Duan De's eyes widened: "No! How do you know everything? What's the point of me playing this game?"

Seeing that Jiang Xuan had no intention of taking action, Duan De had no choice but to sacrifice the lid of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Jar, which turned into a curtain to cover him!
Seeing that the red-haired monster could not be defeated for the time being, Duan De looked at Jiang Xuan provocatively again.

"Wait until this red-haired monster changes its target. I'll see if you guys will ask me for help then!"

In the next second, Jiang Xuan waved his hand lightly, and the gray mist enveloped the three of them. Although the whole person was standing in the same place, he could not feel any fluctuations or vitality at all, like a stone standing in place.

The red-haired monster had no other target and continued to attack Duan De frantically, forcing Duan De to keep sending out strength to protect himself!
"Brother! You are my real brother! Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. I have a lot of good things on me!!" Duan De frowned and said sadly, as if giving away a few treasures was like cutting off his own flesh.

Jiang Xuan still didn't make a move, Duan De saw a sly smile on his face. "Why don't you throw out the treasure you gave me first, and I'll see if it's worth saving your life!"

Duan De gritted his teeth, took out a few magic weapons from his arms, and said with reluctance and pain on his face: "Brother! I am running out of strength!"

Jiang Xuan waved his hand to put away these magic weapons. After taking a look at their quality, he could only say that it was mediocre. Even combined, they were not as good as the Heavenly Emperor Sword that was suppressing the Bagua Furnace!
"I'm not very satisfied with your price. It seems you have to face it yourself!" Jiang Xuan shook his head, looking helpless.

Duan De's eyes almost popped out: "If you can't help me, then don't take my magic weapon away! You took it away and then said you can't help me. Are you a profiteer or am I a profiteer?"

"Hmm? Brother Duan De, I see you have a lot of opinions! Do you think that having only one red-haired monster is not stressful enough?" As he spoke, the Immortal-Slaying Sword appeared in Jiang Xuan's hand, and a sword intent directed at him rose from his body into the sky.

Feeling the sharp sword force scraping across his body, Duan De couldn't help but tremble all over. He quickly put on a smile and said, "No way, big brother! I was frowning because I was thinking about giving you something more. I can't let you suffer any loss, right?"

As he spoke, Duan De took out a large pile of things like pouring out beans, including source stones, magic weapons, ores, incomplete ancient medicines, etc. Yao Xi and the others who were watching were extremely surprised, they didn't expect that this little fat man could take out so many good things!

As usual, Jiang Xuan waved his hand and put everything back into the space. After a careful inspection, the quality this time was indeed much better than last time, but it was hard to say whether it had one-tenth of Duan De's inventory.

"How about it! I am sincere this time!"

Jiang Xuan shook his head: "Brother Duan De, I see that the lid of your Heaven Devouring Demon Jar has a high defense power! I just happen to be going to a very dangerous place, why not give it to me!"

Duan De's eyes widened, as if silently accusing him: "Is this a human? He has already collected two waves of things, and now he wants the most valuable treasure from him? Although it is just a lid and does not have the power of an extreme imperial weapon, it at least has the defense power of an imperial weapon! This is not an imperial weapon, but his life and property!"

Jiang Xuan smiled and said, "Of course I won't let you suffer any loss. I will compensate you with two strands of world life force!"

"What a crap life force! I, Duan De, have seen all sorts of things. How can this life force match my imperial weapon..."

Jiang Xuan extracted a ray of life force from the micro world and transmitted the perception of life force to Duan De's consciousness.

This is the life force of the world. Even though Jiang Xuan only uses it to recover, its effect is actually stronger than the elixir of immortality.

Not only can it extend the lifespan for at least a thousand years, it can also repair all injuries on the body of an immortal!
It should be noted that all injuries, even Taoist injuries, can be repaired, it’s just a matter of amount.

Duan De felt the life force of this world for the first time, and even forgot to continue supplying power to the Heaven-Devouring Demon Pot. The defensive shadow began to shatter under the attack of the red-haired monster.

Coming back to his senses, Duan De glanced at the red-haired monster beside him, then turned to look at Jiang Xuan, his eyes full of passion: "Exchange! One strand of this thing can at least be exchanged for an imperial soldier!"

As soon as the words fell, the red-haired monster finally stopped attacking and slowly walked out of the darkness.

The red hair on this red-haired monster's body was more than half a foot long, and its face was completely covered with red hair, leaving only a pair of gloomy eyes. His eyes were full of chaotic murderous intent, and the sound he made was as frightening as a cold wind blowing past.

"You are Zhang Lin! The fifth-generation Yuan Tianshi Zhang Lin!" Jiang Xuan said softly.

There was only chaos left in the opponent's soul, but his tenacious will still prevented Jiang Xuan from breaking through and occupying his sea of ​​consciousness, so Jiang Xuan could only put the information about Zhang Lin in his memory into it, while controlling the separation of the opponent's body and soul, and completely calming down.

Duan De saw how easily Jiang Xuan calmed the red-haired monster down. He put away the lid of the Heaven Devouring Demon Jar and muttered, "It was suppressed so easily. I feel like I'm at a disadvantage!"

As Jiang Xuan poured a huge amount of his consciousness into the red-haired monster's sea of ​​consciousness, the killing intent in the red-haired monster's eyes actually gradually dissipated.

If the vibration of the Beginningless Bell was forcing Zhang Lin to regain his clarity of mind, then the massive and repetitive information Jiang Xuan input was to guide Zhang Lin to find himself again!

Although the final result is the same, the latter is less harmful to their body.

An hour later, the red-haired monster's eyes became clear, and he also had the ability to think: "I am Zhang Lin! I am... Zhang Lin!"

The red-haired monster suddenly raised its head, its eyes sparkled, and the red hair on its face slowly fell off.

"You are... you have the shadow of Yuan Tianshu in your body, but you haven't formally practiced it?"

"I am a friend of the contemporary Yuan Tianshi!"

"Thank you for letting me regain consciousness for a short time. It's a pity that I'm already dead. I won't live for more than two days. Otherwise, I could have a long chat with you and discuss things." Zhang Lin sighed and asked in confusion, "What is your purpose in coming to Purple Mountain?"

Jiang Xuan's eyes sparkled with brilliance. The White Tower Authority carefully looked at the other party's body, analyzing the current condition of the other party's body while explaining: "I came here specifically for you. Now that the ancient myriad races are about to enter the world, I need some help."

"What a pity! I'm sorry to disappoint you! The only reason I'm still alive is because of this crazy power! Even if I regain my sanity, I can't escape death!"

Jiang Xuan didn't say anything and carefully examined Zhang Lin's body.

Just as Zhang Lin said, he turned into a red-haired monster because of the open source stone. The real him is dead, and only the red-haired monster is left!
When he realized that he was Zhang Lin, the fifth-generation Yuan Tianshi, the vitality of the red-haired monster gradually faded, leaving only a decayed and dead body. Its soul, rather than a soul, was just a wisp of broken consciousness and belief. Even the life force of the world could not restore something that was dead and dissipated.

“Don’t waste your energy, my friend! While I still have two days left, let me shine for the human race one last time! You decide who we should attack! And I want to ask you to help me save someone!” Zhang Lin’s eyes were full of death. He never expected himself to survive. While he was still able to move, he hid in the darkness and soon came out holding a huge source.

A beautiful woman is sealed in the source, as pure as a lotus emerging from water.

"I owe her too much! I don't want her to die for me!" Zhang Lin looked at the woman in the source with tenderness in his eyes. After a long time, he sighed softly, unable to express how much sadness and guilt he felt.

"She will be fine!" Jiang Xuan's life force is more useful than the elixir of immortality. It is very easy for him to save Yang Yi.

"You won't die either! I have a way to let you survive, but your cultivation and Yuantianshu will not be preserved!" The golden light in Jiang Xuan's eyes gradually dissipated.

Zhang Lin was also a genius of his time, his strength was not weak, and Jiang Xuan admired his selfless spirit.
