Chapter 63: The Struggle of Time
Li Xuandu had not yet set off for Longmen Mansion when he received a report from the Taiping Inn, saying that the Qingyang Sect had been moving frequently recently, and there were signs of vigorously developing believers. At that time, Li Xuandu suspected Song Zheng. With the appearance of Song Zheng in the Vientiane School Palace, and the determination of the Tang and Zhou rebellions by the Wudao Sect, Li Xuandu can already be sure that the Qingyang Sect change is the driving force behind Song Zheng, so Li Xuandu has been mentally prepared for this trip to the White Emperor City, and there is about a seventy or eighty percent chance of meeting Song Zheng.
As for why Li Xuandu knew that he would meet Song Zheng but took the initiative to send it to the door, the reason for the palace official is still secondary, the key is that according to Li Xuandu's inference, the matter of the Tang family may also have something to do with Song Zheng, so whether Li Xuandu goes to the White Emperor City or goes to Tangjiabao, it is very likely that he will meet Song Zheng, the difference between the two is that if he meets Song Zheng in the White Emperor City, he can still rely on the palace officials and Wudaozong, but if he meets Song Zheng in Tangjiabao, he is the only one left. It is clear which of the two is superior or inferior, so when the palace official said that Li Xuan was the helper invited by the Holy Monarch, Li Xuan not only did not refute it, but also acquiesced.
Because of this, this trip to White Emperor City was expected by Li Xuandu, if Li Xuandu went happily because of the smile of the beauty, it would be too much to underestimate Li Xuandu.
After entering Yong'an Palace, Song Zheng took the initiative and trapped Li Xuandu with a small world. Next, the two began to reminisce through the story of Taiyun, but both of them also knew that Song Zheng was gathering momentum, and Li Xuandu was also secretly preparing to fight back by talking, and the renewals were just a foreshadowing for the next fight. It's like the relationship between Song Zheng and Taiyun, which is completely irretrievable, at most it's just a sigh.
After Song Zheng's sigh fell, the talisman in the hall also completed all the changes, and in an instant, the paper carrier of the talisman had disappeared, and the stroke font of the talisman was deeply engraved on the walls, ground, and beams and pillars of the hall, and the two were completely integrated.
In Li Xuandu's sight, Song Zheng's figure began to grow larger, but in the blink of an eye, he was already twenty zhang tall, like a giant standing up to the sky. But the strange thing is that such a huge Song Zheng did not break through the hall from the inside, his body passed through the boundaries of the walls, roofs, and ground of the hall like light and shadow, and directly manifested outside the hall. At this time, between heaven and earth, there is no Yong'an Palace, nor White Emperor City, there is chaos, only Song Zheng, who is like a giant, and the hall that is like a birdcage in front of Song Zheng, as for Li Xuandu, it is a bird in a cage.
Song Zheng stretched out his hand to hold up the main hall, raised it in front of his eyes, and looked at Li Xuandu in the hall with a huge pupil comparable to the sun and the moon.
Li Xuandu was unceremonious, and his backhand was a "Reverse Heavenly Tribulation" sword qi.
The "Anti-Heaven Tribulation" sword qi is known as the first in lethality, but the eyes are one of the most vulnerable parts of the human body, even if it is an immortal in the immortal realm, unless it is a human immortal who specializes in cultivating the physique, it is difficult to resist the sword qi of a great master of the Heavenly Transformation Realm with his eyes, not to mention that Song Zheng is no longer the "magic knife" he used to be, now he is a ghost immortal, and his physique is not only difficult to compare with human immortals, but also much worse than earth immortals.
But just after this sword qi shot into Song Zheng's pupils, it was like a stone falling into the water, only causing layers of ripples, and there was no more follow-up.
Li Xuandu stands
Ke realized that this pupil was definitely not Song Zheng's body, and it was probably just an illusion.
After all, the essence of Taoism is to make the fake come true, and when it comes to the realm of Song Zheng, the truth and falsehood are only in the first line, and there are only three steps left before the legendary immortals created out of thin air, if Li Xuandu also takes it as true, it is true.
At this moment, Song Zheng's pupils suddenly became dark and deep, like a bottomless black hole, trying to suck people's minds into it, and the time in the hall became slow, making Li Xuandu seem to be in a quagmire, and even his thoughts became sluggish.
At the same time, countless black karmic fires were born in the hall, spreading rapidly towards Li Xuandu, and the entire hall had already turned into a furnace, and Li Xuandu was to be completely refined into it.
However, Li Xuandu was also prepared, and when he realized that this was an illusion, he had already taken out the snake staff, and although his movements became sluggish, the snake staff was still able to pause slightly. With the snake staff as the center, a circle of invisible ripples invisible to the naked eye spread out in all directions. Where the ripples passed, the color of everything around him faded and turned black and white, Song Zheng seemed to be nothing unusual, but the black karmic fire he summoned was completely frozen.
For the First Tribulation Earth Immortal, the Second Tribulation Earth Immortal, and the Third Tribulation Earth Immortal, the "Immortal Staff" is only a semi-immortal thing, but for the Earth Immortal and below, the power of the "Immortal Staff" is comparable to that of an immortal. For the immortals, ordinary treasures and spiritual objects have little effect, and only immortals can have the ability to resist them.
Under the power of the "Immortal Staff", not only was the time stagnation imposed by Song Zheng on Li Xuandu completely canceled, making Li Xuandu regain his freedom, but also the talismans that constituted the small world were also completely condensed and no longer functioned.
At the moment when Li Xuandu left the main hall, he heard Song Zheng's soft sigh and was very surprised.
Song Zheng's surprise was twofold: First, the national teacher's "longevity staff" was actually in Li Xuandu's hands, and the second was that even if the "longevity staff" was in Li Xuandu's hands, why could it be so powerful? Although it was still slightly inferior to the national teacher himself, who had never crossed the catastrophe, it was not far behind.
According to the reason, the Extreme Heavenly King is a monk, and the power that can be exerted by using the "Immortal Staff" should be above Li Xuandu's martial arts, but the Extreme Heavenly King's use of the "Immortal Staff" can only be on par with Zhang Haishi, while Li Xuandu can use the "Immortal Staff" to confront Song Zheng head-on without falling behind, the key is that Li Xuandu still has the "Immortal Stone" in his body. Just listen to the name, you can know that the two are from the same source, Li Xuandu's cultivation is derived from the "Immortal Stone", although Li Xuandu cultivates the "Taiping Qingling Sutra", but Li Xuandu only needs to return to the source and then urge the "Immortal Staff", which is no different from the national teacher himself using the "Immortal Staff". On the contrary, it is the Extreme Heavenly King, although he is a top alchemist, but he does not have the corresponding exercises of shamanism, and it is difficult to exert the full power of the "Immortal Staff".
After Li Xuandu withdrew from the main hall, he found that the heaven and the earth were suddenly clear, he was still in the Yong'an Palace, and Song Zheng was still Song Zheng, and he had not become a giant twenty zhang high, and everything just now was really just an illusion.
Song Zheng missed the blow and did not rush to pursue, but asked, "How can the 'Immortal Staff' of the National Teacher be in your hands?"
Li Xuandu didn't answer, and waved the snake staff in his hand, turning into two giant snake phantoms, and killed him
Surround it.
Song Zheng frowned and pondered for a moment, then smiled, "I know, the Extreme Heavenly King was killed by you." ”
Li Xuandu's face remained unchanged, "Why did Mr. Song say this." ”
Song Zhengdao: "When the national teacher fell, there were only me, the earth master, Yun'er, you, the Extreme Heavenly King, and Mrs. Luo in the Golden Horde, and Mrs. Luo and I were powerless to snatch it at that time, and you were under the gaze of the earth master and Yun'er, it was difficult to have other small actions, and the person most likely to get the 'Immortal Staff' was the Extreme Heavenly King, of course, this is just my guess, and there is no real evidence." But it just so happened that the Heavenly King was recently killed, and the 'Staff of Immortality' appeared in your hands again. Then I can conclude that you killed the Extreme Heavenly King, or you sent someone to kill the Extreme Heavenly King. ”
Li Xuandu still didn't answer, carefully guarding against Song Zheng's next move.
"When the Extreme Heavenly King died, you were in the Longmen Mansion, busy for the Daomen Grand Ceremony, I can be sure that you never left the Longmen Mansion, so you sent someone to kill the Extreme Heavenly King. Song Zheng smiled, "I thought that you, the little real person in charge of the sect, were just in name only, but now it seems that I underestimated you, but I didn't expect you to have such power at a young age, an old minister of the Three Dynasties without Taoism, a great master of the Creation Realm for many years, and a frequent visitor on the Taixuan List, you will kill it when you raise your hand." Good spirit. ”
Li Xuandu finally spoke: "The Extreme Heavenly King is not dead. ”
Song Zhengdao: "Of course, the hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, such an old guy has some life-saving means, which is also reasonable." But even if he escapes with his life, at his age, can he still talk about not bullying the poor young man? Can he make a comeback?"
"To put it mildly, there is a kind of person in this world, who is extremely talented and smooth, such as the champion Hou, who shot Li Kang in the Ganquan Palace, never shared the joys and hardships with the soldiers, liked gorgeous clothes and wine, and delicious food, not to mention that he was born in the bottom ranks, and it doesn't matter what growth and tempering, his uncle is a general, and his uncle-in-law is the emperor, he is like a gentleman, but he can be a wolf in the year of the weak crown, and he has done many things that military generals can't do in their lifetime. He didn't dare to write like that, but he did. What is it? This is talent. This is like young people entering the rivers and lakes together, some people are still called young heroes, but some people are already the co-masters of the rivers and lakes, turning the clouds and rain.
"In fact, the same is true for our cultivation of longevity, those who can achieve immortality must be able to prove immortality or hope for immortality in their prime, such as me, or you, as for people like the Extreme Heavenly King, if they can't cross the threshold after going around and around for a lifetime, they are destined to not be able to cross it, and it is impossible to live forever. What is the difference between such a person living and dying?"
Li Xuandu was silent for a long time, and said, "After all, it is better than Mr. Song to attack and kill the sect master of the Daoless Sect." ”
Song Zheng smiled faintly, "But at that time, I was already close to the age of not being confused, and there was a local master to respond, so I was lucky, but it was far inferior to you." ”
Li Xuandu is still vigilant, "Mr. Song is falsely praised. ”
Song Zheng smiled gently, "There are talented people in the rivers and lakes, and they have led the way for three or two years." We people look young, but we are old after all, and this river and lake belong to you young people after all. ”
Li Xuandu waited intently and remained silent.
After a while, the two of them suddenly burst out as if they had a heart.
