Dazhao, Tongyezhou, Nirvana Mountain!

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and the gloom was shrouded in haze for thousands of miles. The dusk was deep, and it seemed that there was a sudden storm and thunder in it.

"It's you?"

"and many more."

"The one they were talking about was the 'True Martial King' whom I have never heard of."

"It's you?"

He was dressed in white and barefoot, but he had the air of a 'real person practicing cultivation', and there was a hint of a young man who had surpassed the fourth step of cultivation. He was wearing the skin of Zuo Shanhe, the former leader of the Life and Death Mountain and River Sect.
Looking at the soldiers from the ten prefectures that were originally all over the mountains and surrounded Nirvana Mountain, making it impossible for any water to get in or out.

As the majestic and dignified Li Taxianfu, who was wearing armor and holding a sword and looked like a god, appeared on the scene, the soldiers retreated in unison from the overwhelming force.

Not only that.

Those generals and even real people are already "existences" on the top of the mountain.

For example, the "Master of the Ten Absolute Passes" Li Xuanzong who had confronted him in the air before, as well as several people who claimed to be the ancestors of the Northwest and the leaders of the Taoist tradition, such as the "Master of the Sword Immortal Temple" and the "Master of Danxia Mountain", all showed a trace of respect to him and retreated.
At that moment, his eyes fixed, and then he said:
"Ah"

"It seems that I was right in my judgment back then."

"It's just a pity."

"The descendants of my Nirvana Sect have produced an outlier called 'Zuo Shanhe', who has become a powerful force. I was weak at the time, and if he had used all his strength, I would not have been able to stop you."

"But now it seems"

"I should have kept you at the mountain gate even if it cost me some money."

"Wildfires cannot be extinguished, spring breezes bring new life. Who could have expected that a young man who had only shown his talent ten years ago could become the final winner of the 'Five States and Two Seas' in this Dharma Ending Age?"

"But then again, it is understandable. After all, I have been 'sharing a room' with your good master for the past few years since I was sealed. I know this."

"What kind of secrets are you carrying?"

"My dear disciple, which immortal god from before the ancient history did you inherit, or which great being was the reincarnation after the extinction of the world, that has given you the ability to create something from nothing and to promote the law and establish the Dao?"

As soon as these words were spoken, those who had known this person in the past were all shocked.

Born in the Tongye Li family, Li Xuanzong, who had achieved Nirvana several times and was Ji Xia's elder brother in this life, and the only surviving direct descendant of the 'Tongye Lord' lineage, frowned even more:

"Isn't it a bit too much for you to take on the body of the 'Left Gate Chief'?"

He couldn't help but say something, just like he had said a few fair words for 'Li Taxian' back then. This was the reason why he was the only one who preserved his life and status after the Tongye Li family fell apart.

But this sentence made Wang Jianglong's eyes flash, and electricity appeared in the empty room. In an instant, his chest seemed to be shaken by thunder, making a rumbling sound!
Then he clapped his hands and swept lightly, and a mighty 'divine dragon' seemed to appear behind him. He let out a long breath, and suddenly it was as if an ancient sacred mountain tilted down and pressed down on 'Li Xuanzong'!

This is a battle of 'divine thoughts', as if
It is necessary to directly crush the 'Heavenly Gate' condensed in his inner world and the 'Divine Thought' it nurtures into pieces!

"rampant?"

"Youngster, even the 'World-Suppressing Dao Lord' failed to completely subdue me back then, and I still managed to survive. He is a person who can even kill immortals and gods!"

"He may not even dare to address me like this at your level, so who are you?"

"Now, he has entered the cycle of reincarnation and returned to nirvana. I don't know where he is now, and has become an ordinary person, but my Taoism remains the same!"

"As long as the spiritual tide of heaven and earth returns, I will still be a 'god among immortals', a fifth-step earth immortal!"

"The fourth-step true person, eight hundred years ago, you know that with the realm of your first baptism, you are not even qualified to sit at the end of my banquet!"

"If it were in the past, I would have captured you, put you through the fire of Nirvana, burned you with the soul-burning lamp, and made sure your true spirit was gone, making it difficult for you to enter the cycle of reincarnation. Only then would I have been able to resist this offense. But now..."

"I only took your life, so that you still have a chance to be reincarnated. This is already a mercy!"

After saying this, red and purple flames like colored glass appeared suspended in the air over the mountains. With the sky clear and cloudy, Wang Jianglong rose up barefoot in white clothes. His original "fairy-like" look suddenly became a little weird for no reason.

Such rebelliousness and arrogance
Li Xuanzong was so stressed that beads of sweat the size of beans fell from his forehead!

Before he could even reach a third point, he was completely defeated by the clash of 'divine thoughts'.

After becoming a true person, in a higher realm, perhaps a thought or a glance could determine victory or defeat.

not to mention.
It is people like Wang Jianglong who, as early as eight hundred years ago, had inherited the mantle of the 'ancient evil demon' from outer space, and was a pinnacle 'dharma seeker' who could fight against the most ancient sects of immortal gods!
"The True Flame of Nirvana is a ray of truth from the outside world. It has the meaning of 'immortality'. It is a 'spell' that does not exist in the mortal world. It is a level that all so-called 'martial arts' can never reach."

"After several years, my consciousness gradually revived, and I finally gained the upper hand in this battle of souls with Zuo Shanhe, and temporarily restrained my control."

"Only in this era when there was no support for 'Dharma Seekers', can one use the fifth-step divine consciousness to control the fourth-step physical body and appear in the human world."

"I originally wanted to lie dormant for a while after I was born, and then make plans after I have fully recovered from my previous life."

"But I didn't expect that the Northwest Region, which was supposed to be in a period of chaos and resurgence of the spiritual tide, would be unified so early. As soon as I left the house, I was 'the enemy of the whole world'."

"Good disciple, there is really nothing I can do."

"but"

"You so blatantly instigated your 'subordinates' to become an enemy of a former genuine seeker of the law."

"It's really like courting death."

"This time, I will send down this true flame, turning all your ten prefectures' soldiers and vassals into ashes, filling my void. I will teach you that the gap between mortals and immortals is as huge as a chasm."

"It is also good that in the future, you will crawl under my seat, offer the 'Tao Fruit', and serve me."

Wang Jianglong calmly looked at the red and purple flames in the sky, as if the fire from the sky was falling. There was a brand on his forehead that shone brightly, as if he was a god sitting alone on a high platform, dominating all living things, but——

Clang!

Just as the divine thought overwhelmed Li Xuanzong, he immediately summoned the "magic method" to burn all the weapons in the ten prefectures overnight, and everything he saw and saw, thus brewing the "Nirvana Tribulation", and activated the Life and Death Nirvana Skill to speed up the recovery of Wang Jianglong.
The voice just fell.

First there was the sound of a 'clanging' sword!
Then, a terrifying energy source illuminated the vacuum of space. It was impossible to see the god or form clearly, but it had already torn apart the shackles and rushed straight into the sky!
hum!
The 'Nirvana's True Flame' in the void swayed for a moment, like a candle flame, flickering.

then
When the aura that looked like the "Sword Hua" poured out like a galaxy, hanging upside down in the sky, and came out from Ji Xia's sheath, wherever it passed, the Nirvana True Flame that could burn even the vacuum would be
It was completely wiped out inch by inch!
Take a closer look.

The thing that broke all of Wang Jianglong's magic was actually an unsheathed sword!
When it flew out of Ji Xia's sheath, it had accumulated enough energy for ten miles in the sky, and hung upside down half of the Milky Way.
The sword seemed to have shed its long-standing dust and decay, revealing its sharp edge that could destroy mountains and seas. At the moment when Wang Jianglong was still stunned, the sword seemed to have slashed his soul!

The true flame of Nirvana burning in the ten directions of the sky was extinguished by Ji Xia's sword.

He had been refining the 'Northern Emperor Sword' for two years. Once it appeared on the scene, it had such a miraculous effect that Ji Xia couldn't help but sigh.

A sword is thrust out, it does not cut the flesh, but it can leave a wound on the soul and the true spirit!
How can any weapon in the world compare to it?
At this time, the wind is howling and the north wind is whistling.

The newly born Wang Jianglong had a pale face, and on the surface he did not seem to have suffered any injuries, but
His expression suddenly changed, as if his soul was in the air, and he had been hit by Ji Xia's sword. Then he gradually showed a look of struggle, and began to cover his head, looking inexplicably ferocious:

"Get down, get down, you are so stubborn!"

"I will borrow your body and take you to see the 'immortal god status' in the future. This is a good fortune that you will never see in your lifetime. Why?"

Before he finished speaking, his eyes turned into a deep cold pool, showing calmness, which was completely different from the ferocious and impatient look before.

All of a sudden, all the people who knew this person, such as Ji Xia, Li Xuanzong, the warriors and military masters who had seen the might of the unified Eastern and Western powers on Ye Mao Mountain in Zuo Shanhe, felt a sense of familiarity in their hearts.

I vaguely know that the number one real person who once dominated the world in the first half of the era of the "Great Demon Lord" seems to have returned.

really!

next second.

"Different road non-phase plan."

In an instant, it seemed as if a soul ascended in broad daylight, evaporating into mist, like thunder from the ground, operating a mysterious skill.
"Primordial Spirit Nirvana Technique"

Ji Xia looked at the familiar 'half-level' technique inspired by his 'Ren Jian Dao', and suddenly raised his head, summoned the Beidi Sword, and looked inquiringly:

"Chief of the left door?"

Zuo Shanhe, who co-existed with Wang Jianglong's divine consciousness in his own body, smiled gently upon hearing this. He raised his head and saw Ji Xia, who was completely different from before and had already accomplished everything. His eyes were full of approval:
"Your sword is better than my eight years of hard work."

"Originally, the game between Wang Jianglong and I has come to an end."

"Although my soul is still there, with the size of his soul as a 'Dharma Seeker', even if his body is gone and only his soul remains, I, who once achieved the first level of enlightenment, cannot match him."

"So the control of this body has long been lost to others, and almost fell into his hands. Even the 'Tao-transformed Qi Body' that I once comprehended was almost used by others."

"But fortunately."

"Your sword has struck his soul, creating a 'crack' in his control. This is a good opportunity for me to seize and take back most of what I have been occupying for the past few years." The more he spoke, the more his body glowed, and he looked like he was about to 'transcend into heaven'. Ji Xia stepped forward with his sword in hand, his brows furrowed:
"Isn't that a good thing?"

"Master, I have now established my kingdom in the Five States and Two Seas."

"Those brothers and sisters who were once sent down the mountain by you are now also dukes and marquises. They can all be the leaders of their own schools and have many talented people under their tutelage."

"As long as you raise the flag again, the Mountain and River Sect of Life and Death will still be the number one Xuan Sect in the world!"

"Now that you have regained control of your body, why not come out and take on the role of 'New Dynasty Imperial Master'? What do you think?"

Ji Xia stepped forward and carefully checked Zuo Shanhe's condition. When he saw that he vaguely had the same signs as when he named himself "Nirvana Mountain" several years ago, he couldn't help but frown.

But Zuo Shanhe shook his head.

When he finished listening to Ji Xia's words, he first showed a look of relief, and then spoke solemnly:
"Passing on the mantle to you is indeed the best decision I have ever made in my life."

"but"

"How can it be so easy to erase the soul and spirit of a person who was once at the top of the 'Dharma Seekers'?"

"What's more, in the past few years, Wang Jianglong has almost merged with my soul and body in order to seek a new life. If nothing unexpected happened, I would definitely be wiped out by him, but..."

"At this moment, you are a variable."

"If I hadn't forcibly activated the 'Spiritual Nirvana Technique' and imitated what happened a few years ago, I would have taken advantage of his unpreparedness to fight him, completely taken back his body, and forcibly refined him."

"Then what awaits me is definitely to be swallowed up by him again."

"Before this, if I were to come out into the world, it would probably be a disaster. So, I can only stay in the 'cave heaven' and play games with him for more than ten years, or even dozens of years, to determine whether I will win or he will win."

"It's a pity that his 'Nirvana Transmigration Flame' is a 'magic' that can act on the soul. I don't have the same level of means. I was burned by this flame back then. Even the Yuanshen Nirvana Technique couldn't resist it, so he took advantage of the opportunity to sneak in."

"Although he was injured by your sword this time, he still exists and is hidden in the deepest part of my soul. If you want to kill him, let alone whether you can really refine his soul to the point of 'scattering', before that, I will definitely cease to exist."

"This demon has mastered human nature and calculated that you would not kill me. He had no choice but to ask me to take back the dominant power. He intends to make a comeback in the future. If I don't fight to the death, I will be boiled alive by him like a frog in warm water."

"But this time, if I fail, I will die. Even if I have to risk my own soul exploding and my body and soul disappearing, I will not let him come again and threaten your Dazhao and the whole world."

After saying this, Zuo Shanhe's eyes revealed a determination, and he was about to sink into the mountain once again.

Ji Xia was silent for a moment, raised his finger, separated a wisp of "Northern Emperor Sword Qi" and a "Nirvana True Flame", and handed them to Zuo Shanhe:

"I sensed the spirit of the sect leader, so I did hold back when I struck the sword. Otherwise..."

As he spoke, his hands kept moving.

Subsequently
He sealed this sword energy and true flame in Zuo Shanhe's inner world.

Seeing Zuo Shanhe staring at the 'Nirvana True Flame' in shock, Ji Xia chuckled:

"But even so."

"I can't tell him to win either."

"But let"

"Chief, you have the last laugh."

"Don't you have a 'magic level' defense?"

"Well, now we have it."

"This ray of sword energy was passed down from the immortal gods, and its origin is profound."

"This 'True Flame' is the 'True Flame of Nirvana' that I deduced from my own method of teaching the Tao. Just as he said, it can burn everything, even the true soul, and naturally includes the 'True Spirit of the Seeker'!"

"I want you to use the magic he is so proud of to give him a complete burial."

"Since he wants to refine you,"

"So."

"I think with the Sect Master's luck, it's not a bad idea for you to refine him!"

Ji Xia flicked his sleeves, and the energy vibrated for a moment, causing the dark clouds in the sky to shake, parting the mist and letting in a ray of light.

Zuo Shanhe was stunned and remained silent for a long while:
"If so, then give me a sixty years, no, more than half a sixty years."

"I am 50% sure."

Thinking of this, his expression became complicated:

"What level of cultivation have you reached now?"

He was not even afraid of the 'Dharma Seeker', and even forced Wang Jianglong into such a situation.

To be honest, Zuo Shanhe could no longer see through this young man who had nearly died.

"I want all the caves and heavens in this world to be merged into the mortal world, and turned into blessed places that fall down, rather than being high above."

Ji Xia spoke in a calm tone.

"Wang Jianglong is not even one percent of his peak strength. Do you know how powerful these 'flying and escaping' earthly immortals are?"

"If you can't open the door to the cave, then when the spiritual tide comes together and their cultivation is restored, then even if you have this method, you will not be able to defeat them."

"Because those old demons who have survived to this day are all top figures among the seekers of the law. They only need a 'Dao fruit' to be comparable to immortals and gods!"

"How can you.!"

Zuo Shanhe's pupils were like earthquakes. He couldn't help but follow the memory of 'Wang Jianglong' and spoke. But before he finished speaking, he saw Ji Xia's eyes looking at him with sharp eyes, and said:
"But, isn't there a 'cave heaven' here?"

"Chief of the Gate."

"Do you know how to break into these caves before the 'spiritual tide' arises?"

"I wonder if it's in Wang Jianglong's memory?"

"It has been a long time since the door was born, and I still don't know."

"The conflict between me and Dongtian is a 'dispute over the Dao'."

"They don't die."

"It is I who is heading towards Nirvana."

Ji Xia pointed to Nirvana Mountain at the foot of the mountain.

Zuo Shanhe was glowing all over as he looked at his former mountain gate, which had completely merged with the cave ruins of the 'Nirvana Sect' and turned into the 'cave entrance'.

He pondered for a long time.
"The cave was built from the debris of the ancient 'Sky Palace' that fell."

"Like ordinary mortals, most of them are the 'generals' of the immortals who were once worshipped. At most, they are transformed from the main hall of a 'celestial official'. According to the rules, as long as they have the emperor's decree and magic tools, and use the mysterious rituals, they can 'go unimpeded'."

"As for the rituals, Wang Jianglong does have them in his memory. I don't know how the Nirvana Sect collected them. But the emperor's decrees and instruments are harder to find than the sky!"

"There is no other way, you..."

Zuo Shanhe was about to shake his head, but——

He suddenly looked up at Ji Xia who was holding up the sword in his hand. A bold and incredible idea slowly arose in his mind:

"You don't mean this sword?"

Ji Xia smiled but said nothing:
"No matter how hard you try, you still can't find it."

"Master, please teach me the ritual!"

"As for the rest"

He held the magic sword upside down, his eyes gleaming with light:
"I hope you can succeed in refining the 'Earth Immortal' after the Jiazi year!"

"Come again."

"Take a look!" (End of this chapter)
