Chapter 606 The Core Area [Part Two]

Just as Hu Qi completely erased the mark left by Mo Shan.

Deep within the Ink Peak, shrouded in mist and with its black, razor-sharp peaks.

Mo Shan, who had been sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, suddenly changed his expression.

Just now, the secret technique he planted on Mo Ming suddenly lost its effect.

...But how is that possible?

Unless a being at the Dao Fruit Realm personally intervenes, there is absolutely no way to detect or even shake this wisp of his mark.

Could it be... the work of the Spirit Emperor?!

Think so.

Mo Shan immediately prepared to set off to investigate.

In any case, Mo Ming's importance is self-evident. Having obtained the inheritance of the pure-blooded Golden-Winged Roc, his potential is astonishing. As long as he doesn't die, there will be absolutely no problem for him to advance to the Dao Lord level.

Furthermore, the more outstanding the other party is, the more advantageous it is for him, and the greater the benefits he will gain once he devours them.

This is crucial to whether he can advance further.

Absolutely no problems can occur.

however.

The next second, he stood up.

Suddenly, the surrounding scenery blurred without warning, like a mirror covered with moisture, indistinct and unclear.

His consciousness sank into a chaotic darkness.

Fortunately, the anomaly did not last long; it returned to normal in just a few moments.

When perception returned to clarity, everything around me had completely changed.

He found himself in a world he had never seen before.

Before me stretched an endless starry sky, vast and profound.

At this moment, he found himself on the surface of a desolate planet, with white sand and rocks beneath his feet.

Everything seemed so real.

It's like being teleported here.

However, Mo Shan knew that things were not like that.

"Is this...my inner world?"

See this scene.

Mo Shan understood in an instant.

This is not reality at all.

He was forcibly dragged into the realm of the mind.

Keep in mind that he was a Dao Lord at the fourth level of the Dao Fruit Realm, yet he didn't even have the slightest power to resist.

The thought sent a chill down his spine. With such methods, dealing with him wouldn't be too difficult.

"I wonder which venerable one is playing such a joke on a junior like this?"

After a moment's hesitation, he bowed respectfully to the void.

"Venerable One" is a title of respect used in the real world to refer to beings at the level of true spirits.

In his view, someone who could do this so quietly must be a venerable one.

And just then.

"Elder, how have you been?"

A voice rang out without warning.

Mo Shan suddenly looked up and saw that Hu Qi's figure had appeared not far away at some point.

The other party still looked like Mo Ming, but strangely, Mo Shan felt an extremely strong sense of danger emanating from him.

Like an undercurrent beneath a calm surface.

Silent yet deadly.

"It's you, Mo Ming! What are you doing here?!"

Mo Shan looked at Hu Qi and asked with a frown.

In reality, my vigilance had reached its peak.

"Why? Don't you know what you've done, you bastard?"

Hu Qi smiled and spoke.

While talking.

The figure walked towards Moshan.

See this scene.

Mo Shan understood that regardless of whether the Mo Ming before him was real or fake, he was up to no good.

After understanding this.

He had no intention of continuing to feign compliance.

They are preparing to take direct action.

This place is his inner world, his domain, and he is the master of this world.

The other party must have used some kind of secret method to drag him into this place.

But even so, they are by no means his match.

However, in the next instant...

His expression changed drastically.

An invisible pressure pressed down on him, forcing him to kneel down.

No matter how hard he tried to exert his power, it had no effect whatsoever.

At this moment, it felt as if he had returned to dozens of eras ago, when he had not yet attained true godhood, and was facing the oppressive aura of a Dao Lord from afar.

No, it's much stronger than that.

After reacting.

Mo Shan, a peak Dao Lord who had survived for dozens of eras, was now utterly devoid of dignity, pleading for mercy from Hu Qi.

Dignity and face are ultimately worthless in the face of life and death.

"Your Excellency, spare my life! What are your orders? I will do my utmost to comply!"

He had now fully realized the truth.

Such power indicates that the opponent must be related to a True Spirit level being!
He had previously thought that his offspring had risen to prominence by chance because he had obtained the essence of the Golden-Winged Roc, but now it seemed that he was wrong.

This is clearly... a body that has been possessed by a True Spirit-level being at some unknown time!
He had actually harbored malicious intentions and attempted to devour the other party.

Thinking of the horror involved, Mo Shan's face turned ashen.

"Don't worry, I won't kill you."

As soon as Hu Qi finished speaking, his hand reached out and firmly pressed down on Mo Shan's head.

A massive wave of power swept across his body, seeping into his divine soul and physical form.

One after another, scenes of my own memories unfolded before my eyes.

Mo Shan's pupils contracted sharply, and fear surged through him like a tidal wave. He knew exactly what he was doing.

Soul search!

He himself had used such methods many times before, but he never imagined that one day they would be used against him.

However, at this moment, he had no room to resist at all.

This is not unexpected.

Mo Shan's cultivation level was only at the initial stage of the Dao Fruit realm.

Hu Qi's power had already surpassed the limits of the Dao Fruit, and even transcended the scope of the Dao Lord.

now.

Mo Shan's vast collection of memories was like ten thousand volumes of books laid out before Hu Qi, who could freely peruse them.

Memories accumulated over decades are as vast as the sea of ​​stars.

But for Hu Qi, analyzing all of this only took a moment or two.

Soon, he absorbed all of Mo Shan's memories from his entire life.

Hu Qi's understanding of the world became increasingly clear.

In Mo Shan's memory, he even had the experience of stepping into the core area, and even saw two True Spirit level beings with his own eyes.

However, given the precedent of the giant eye, Hu Qi did not delve into all the information about the True Spirit level, but only skimmed through it.

Mo Shan didn't have much information about those two True Spirit level beings.

Only their honorific titles are known.

Venerable Jinling, Venerable Hongyuan.

In addition, its appearance and information are all vague and unclear.

It seems that too much time has passed, and Moshan has forgotten about it.

But for a Dao Lord, this is almost impossible.

Clearly, there is only one possibility.

That's due to the influence of the True Spirit level.

Just like that giant eye.

Those below the True Spirit level will have their gaze and memory recall affected, even if they look directly at each other.

After a while.

Hu Qi left the spiritual realm of Moshan.

Before leaving, he used cause and effect as a guide to imprint a puppet mark deep within Mo Shan's soul, completely refining him into a puppet in his palm.

This method of manipulating people's hearts and reversing the master-servant relationship is the unique secret technique of the former Lord of Cause and Effect.

Using cause and effect as the thread, it entangles the soul of the Dao Lord, turning him into a puppet helplessly bound by threads.

after that.

Hu Qi then used the same method again.

They began searching the soul of Ling Tianzi, the sect leader of Lingyu Mountain.

Ling Tianzi, who is at the mid-stage of the Dao Fruit Realm, is somewhat stronger than Mo Shan.

However, it is also extremely limited.

They had absolutely no power to resist Hu Qi's attack.

This is the end.

The only two Dao Fruit Realm Dao Masters in Lingyu Mountain were both controlled by Hu Qi.

His life or death was only a matter of a single thought.

As for the remaining Dao Lords, there are still a few.

However, their cultivation levels were all below the Dao Fruit realm. Most of them were even stuck at the Spirit Earth realm, posing no threat to Hu Qi whatsoever.

However, just to be on the safe side, Hu Qi still performed a soul search on each of them, leaving a mark.

After searching the souls of all the Dao Lords of Lingyu Mountain and refining them into his own puppets.

This also gave him a clearer understanding of the world.

After all, even the youngest of these Dao Lords have lived for several epochs.

The information they possessed was naturally far beyond what ordinary disciples could comprehend.

And in this.

One of them gave him a rather pleasant surprise.

That was an elder who guarded the Tibetan Buddhist Mountain.

The seemingly ordinary old man was named Wu Huo. His cultivation level was only at the second stage of Dao Lord, Dao Jing, and he was quite unremarkable.

However, once the soul was searched, Hu Qi realized that this person had an extraordinary background.

His real name was not Wu Huo, but Wu Huo. He had lived in the world for nearly ten thousand epochs and was once a great witch of the witch clan in the world of mountains and seas.

The Witch Clan is rumored to be the most physically powerful race.

The other party was one of the very few Dao Lords who witnessed the collapse of the Mountain and Sea Realm and survived by sheer luck.

However, although he survived, he was severely injured, and his cultivation level dropped from the original Jade Realm to the Dao Scene, his path forward was blocked, and he could hardly make any further progress.

From Wu Huo's memories, Hu Qi gleaned more secrets about the core land.

According to his memory, at the height of the Mountain and Sea Realm, there were five True Spirit level beings in charge.

At that time, they were not called Venerable Ones, but Heavenly Venerables.

The five celestial deities are:
The Celestial Venerable of Evolution, who cut off a glimmer of hope for humanity.

Hao Ri Tian Zun, who established the Heavenly Court and set the order of the universe.

The Golden Spirit Celestial Venerable commands all alien races under heaven, and the Underworld Celestial Venerable controls the eternal cycle of reincarnation.

However, the most mysterious of them all is the Myriad Paths Primordial Celestial Venerable, whose origins are unknown and who holds the power over the origins of all paths.

Then, the Ruins underwent a strange change, and the Void Sea emerged, from which three beings comparable to the Heavenly Venerable were born.

After.

It was the five Celestial Venerables who were fighting against the three beings who emerged from the Void Sea.

Under the influence of the power wave, even Dao Lord-level beings were easily torn apart.

Despite the distance, Wu Huo still suffered considerable injuries during the process and dared not stay in place, fleeing towards the outside of the shattered Mountain and Sea Realm.

However, Wu Huo had no specific information about those three people in his memory.

In addition, there are Hu Qi's memories about the True Spirit level.

Especially those parts containing images, I only dared to glance at them briefly, without daring to delve deeper.

Therefore, our knowledge is limited.

However, this was also a huge gain for him.

The situation is now basically clear.

Originally, the Mountain and Sea Realm only had five True Spirit level beings, but after the Guixu Anomaly, three more were born in the Void Sea.

This is the number that is publicly known. As for whether there are any hidden entities in the shadows, Hu Qi has no way of knowing.

But based on what we know so far, that's the situation.

"True Spirit-level beings fighting..."

Back at Mount Ming, Hu Qi sorted through the memories he had just acquired, a strange glint flashing in his eyes.

Even if it's just a glimpse into a scene from countless billions of years ago through the memories of the witch fire.

It still left him deeply shocked.

The Dao Lord is very strong, but in front of that kind of being, he is no different from an ant.

But for that.

Hu Qi was more concerned about something else.

Within the other person's memory.

They also caught a fleeting glimpse of the appearances of the three beings who emerged from the Void Sea, beings comparable to True Spirits.

Although it's very blurry.

However, it also gave Hu Qi a general understanding.

A giant eye shrouded in mist, a colossal human figure with countless pale arms, and finally, a blurry black dragon shadow.

Clearly, the giant eye that had affected him in his previous memory was one of the three.

Also.

This can be inferred from the process of organizing acquired memories.

After that battle.

The Void Sea fell silent.

The three figures that emerged from the Void Sea sank back into it.

The five Heavenly Venerables who were stationed in the Mountain and Sea Realm were also severely weakened.

The Celestial Venerable of Evolution has disappeared without a trace.

The Heavenly Venerable Haori transformed into ten suns, which roamed the heavens and toured the world.

The Celestial Venerable of the Underworld fell into a near-eternal slumber, losing control of reincarnation.

Now, only Jin Ling and Hong Yuan remain in this world.

"The Celestial Venerable of the Underworld is asleep, and the reincarnation has lost its grip..."

Hu Qi frowned slightly.

A strange feeling arose in my heart.

What a coincidence!

If that Heavenly Lord of the Underworld had not fallen into slumber, perhaps his reincarnation would not have been so smooth.

shook his head.

Suppress this idea for now.

The most important thing now is to obtain the identity of the Daoist.

Because he just found out.

Aside from the fact that the debate between the Daoists will begin when the millennium arrives.

Actually, there is another way to obtain the identity of the Dao Child in advance.

That is to suppress a region with one's own power.

-

Although there is still a thousand years until the birth of the Dao Child.

However, various forces and sects are already eager to make their move.

Because once one becomes a Dao Child, one can step into the core area and enter the Purple Cloud Palace to listen to the true words of the Great Dao.

The benefits one can gain are immeasurable, and it is even highly likely to lay a solid foundation for one's future attainment of the Dao Lord realm.

Not to mention the unspeakable potential opportunities.

For example, once Zai Dao returns, he can quickly gather power and secure a place even in a place like the Northern Heaven Domain, where powerful figures abound.

In the Northern Heaven Domain, the most talked-about sect is the Swordless Pavilion, one of the three dominant sects.

In the past, in the Northern Heaven Domain, only the Spirit Prison Mountain and the White Bone Plain stood side by side as two powerful forces. The other sects and forces could only barely survive by relying on the two.

The reason why Wujian Pavilion was able to rise so powerfully between the two giants can be traced back to dozens of eras ago.

At that time, the founder of Wujian Pavilion was an exceptionally talented swordsman who was blessed with good fortune and endless opportunities.

Furthermore, during the selection of the Dao Child, he ruthlessly defeated the most popular prodigy at the time and seized the position of Dao Child.

After returning from listening to the Dao in the core area, his cultivation became increasingly unfathomable, and he personally visited Spirit Prison Mountain and White Bone Plain.

With the tacit approval of the two dominant powers.

He then founded the Swordless Pavilion, which eventually became the third most powerful sect in the Northern Heaven Domain.

This is why countless small sects and independent cultivators harbor the idea of ​​replicating the legend of the Swordless Pavilion.

Unfortunately, no one has succeeded to date.

The law that those who slay dragons eventually become dragons themselves is inescapable.

Even the Swordless Pavilion, which prides itself on upholding righteousness and transcending worldly affairs, would never want to see a new force rise and divide up the existing resources.

After all, the more people share the pie, the less each person gets.

This principle still applies here.

……

Swordless Pavilion, Sword-Sharpening Lake.

The lake is vast, but the water has a deep, dark, and serene color.

If someone's eyesight could penetrate this inky blackness, they would see the eerie scene at the bottom of the lake.

Countless swords were stuck diagonally into the ground, each with a different shape.

Some of them were already broken, with only half of the sword remaining.

Some are ancient and somber, showing signs of age and hardship.

Some, however, still gleam with a cold, sharp light, their edge still menacing.

These are the swords left behind by many sword cultivators over the years at Wujian Pavilion.

Those qualified to leave behind a sword are at least at the Apostle level, and some even have swords left behind by Dao Lords.

As for the lake water, it is not ordinary water, but rather the result of the sword energy emanating from these swords and the murderous aura of the slaughtered creatures.

Under the constraints of the formation, it transformed into this lake of sword energy.

For ordinary cultivators

Anyone who gets close will feel the excruciating pain of being slowly sliced ​​to death by a thousand swords.

If you stay there for too long, your soul will be tainted by the evil energy, and you will either become a monster that only knows how to kill, or you will not be able to withstand death.

And this moment.

In the center of Mojian Lake, a blurry figure sat cross-legged on the water.

It is absorbing the terrifying sword energy and baleful aura around it, tempering its body.

This person was none other than Su Yang, the current Sword Master of Wujian Pavilion.

Sudden.

A shout as loud as thunder from the heavens suddenly exploded above the Swordless Pavilion, shaking the clouds and causing them to churn.

"Mo Ming, a core disciple of Lingyu Mountain, has come to pay his respects!!!"
