Chapter 511 Shinto [Two in One]
The reason why Liang Yue took action against Beiluo Shimen was based on a simple logic.
Bei Luo Shimen is recognized as the strongest in the world. He is a high priest who has guarded the Yin Kingdom for a thousand years. His Taoism is as profound as the mountains and the sea.
Who is Liang Xiaoyun?
It's my sister.
If Beiluo Shimen needs Xiaoyun's help to fight against a powerful enemy, wouldn't it be like me fighting with someone now and calling Chen Ju to help?
Besides providing some encouragement, what else can be done?
When Beiluo Shimen's speech was untenable, Xuanyuan Shisi's speech was very good. He said that Beiluo Shimen wanted to take over Xiaoyun's body, which was very likely.
After all, she has lived for nearly a thousand years just in the Wentian Tower of Yin Kingdom. According to legend, the lifespan of human beings does not exceed a thousand years, even those in the immortal realm cannot exceed that.
Perhaps it was because the high priest had reached such a critical juncture and needed to find someone to take over his body, so Xuanyuan Fourteen took advantage of the opportunity to sneak in.
Regardless of whether he is from Huanshen Peak or not, Liang Yue must rescue his sister first.
So he pretended to attack Xuanyuan Shisi, and instantly used the sword to seal the immortal at Beiluo Shimen, just to break her magical power and let Xiaoyun be free first.
But facing his sudden attack, Beiluo Shimen seemed to be well prepared. He waved his hand one step ahead, forming a blue barrier in the center of the hall, isolating Xuanyuan Fourteen outside, leaving only Liang Yue in front of him.
At this moment, the Sword to Seal the Immortal was activated. She no longer used any other means. Instead, she raised her neck and faced the sword of Liang Yue.
laugh.
Without leaving a name, it was placed on Liang Xiaoyun's fair neck, and the slightest touch left a bloody mark.
"You can't do anything to me." Bei Luo Shimen looked at him with his pale blue eyes, his divine light was icy, "Now Liang Xiaoyun and I are one, she is me and I am her."
Liang Yue frowned. Even the Immortal Sword could not temporarily separate her from Xiao Yun's body. This really made it difficult for him.
He doesn't know any esoteric techniques, and even if he did, which esotericist could break Bei Luo Shimen's magical powers?
"She lied to you!" Xuanyuan Shisi cut open the barrier from top to bottom outside, and shouted at the same time: "Liang Xiaoyun's soul has long been protected in the palace by my spell. Let me wipe out Beiluo Shimen's soul, and Liang Xiaoyun will be safe."
"Heh." Bei Luo Shimen sneered, "He is just using Liang Xiaoyun's body to plot against me. He buried a spell in Liang Xiaoyun's shrine to prevent me from leaving her body. Then he can kill me along with this body."
"If it weren't for my spell protecting Liang Xiaoyun, she would have been wiped out long ago!" Xuanyuan Shisi continued, "I hope she's alive just like you do!"
As they shouted, Liang Yue gradually pieced together the full picture of the incident.
Long before Xiaoyun entered the Wentian Tower, Xuanyuan Shisi had discovered her extraordinary talent in the esoteric arts. He thought that this should be the person that Beiluo Shimen would choose, so he introduced her to the practice of the esoteric arts.
Later, when he went to Wentian Tower to look for a disciple, he indeed found Xiaoyun.
Not long ago, Xuanyuan Fourteen should have found Xiaoyun and told her about Beiluo Shimen's possession of another's body. He asked her to open the Temple of God, and Xuanyuan Fourteen planted a talisman to deal with this possession.
If one wants to exert the strongest power of the method of possessing another's body, the person whose body is possessed must open his soul wholeheartedly and let her enter. However, under her guidance, Liang Xiaoyun still maintained some clarity of mind and said that she was unwilling.
This will cause some flaws in Bei Luo Shimen's possession of another's body.
But it doesn’t matter. After all, the gap in their cultivation is huge. As long as she enters the Divine Palace, she can quickly erase Liang Xiaoyun’s self-consciousness.
But it was here that she fell into Xuanyuan Shisi's trap. There had long been a spell in Liang Xiaoyun's shrine, which erupted at this moment, protecting Liang Xiaoyun's soul and making it impossible for her to be destroyed.
In this way, Fo Shimen cannot completely occupy the body.
But Xuanyuan 14 arrived at this time, with the help of the King of Eternal Night, blocking the stars in the sky and cutting off Beiluo Shimen's source of divine power. If she left Liang Xiaoyun's body at this time, she would be like a wandering soul without a master, and could not exert even a tenth of her divine power.
Unable to escape Xuanyuan 14's killing.
This plan of Xuanyuan Shisi was specially set up for Beiluo Shimen, and it is really linked together.
Liang Yue pointed his sword at Bei Luo Shimen and said in a deep voice, "Then I'll give you a chance. As long as you come out of Xiao Yun's body now, I can help you deal with the people from Huan Shen Peak."
This was the best solution he could think of. If Beiluo Shimen was willing to come out of Xiaoyun's body on his own initiative, the damage to her body would definitely be minimal.
But when Bei Luo Shimen looked into Liang Yue's eyes, a faint light suddenly burst out in his eyes!
The effect of the sword that sealed the immortal had long passed. At this time, Beiluo Shimen used his magical powers. Just a glance made Liang Yue feel dazed, as if he was in the starry sky and could no longer see anything around him.
"Wake up!" Xuanyuan Shisi broke through the barrier and rushed over, slapping Liang Yue on the shoulder.
Liang Yue's body was shocked at this moment, and he saw the scene in front of him again. Bei Luo Shimen had already jumped up, broke through the dome, and flew to the top of Taihuang Mountain.
She stood in the air, her Dharma image towering into the clouds, illuminating the entire Longyuan City.
The people of the city were in darkness and chaos at the time, and were terrified. When they saw the high priest reveal his Dharma image, they immediately knelt down and shouted the high priest's name loudly.
They all thought that Bei Luo Shimen appeared at this time to dispel the darkness and rescue the people in the city.
However, Liang Yue could vaguely feel that there seemed to be thousands of invisible threads connecting the people of Longyuan City and Beiluo Shimen's Dharma image, and strands of divine power were being injected from the people's bodies into the Dharma image. This was a power that he could only sense when the dragon energy was infusing his body!
"You can block out the stars, but you cannot disperse the people. I have guarded the capital of gods for thousands of years, and this place has long been a part of me." Beiluo Shimen's body also burst out with divine light, and Liang Xiaoyun's body was infinitely divinity in the light.
Liang Yue roughly guessed that her method at this time was just like what Mu Beidi wanted to do before, that is, to make the priest holy through incense. The people of the Divine Capital praised the name of the priest for generations, and offered incense and worship at dawn and dusk, and their souls were bound to Bei Luo Shimen.
If Beiluo Shimen needs it at this time, he can draw divine power from the people of the Divine Capital.
The souls of ordinary people naturally do not have much power, but they can't withstand the mighty force of millions of gods. When they gather in one place, they can also bring Beiluo Shimen back to its peak!
At the same time, he gradually felt how terrifying Bei Luo Shi Men, who was at the peak of his cultivation, was...
The divine pressure that made people kneel down became stronger and stronger. It turned out that Xuanyuan Shisi was able to confront Bei Luo Shimen just now not because he had the power of the immortal realm, but because Bei Luo Shimen had not recovered his full strength.
Of course, the price of her recovery is that the people of Shendu fall to the ground one by one. It may take some time for them to wake up, and after waking up, it will take several months to recover their overdrawn spirits, which is almost like a serious illness.
"You have already strayed from the true way of God." Xuanyuan Shisi stood on the top of the Wentian Tower, watching Beiluo Shimen appear in the sky, and shook his head, "You don't cultivate the stars, but cultivate the human world. You are unworthy of being a god."
"What is a god? What is a human?" Beiluo Shimen raised his hand and tapped his forehead. The divine light around him was like a bright moon descending on earth, and it fell with a bang. "As long as I am invincible in this world, I am a god!"
boom--
……
The divine light emitted by Beiluo Shimen was like moonlight, which could not be avoided at all, and it swallowed up everything on Taihuang Mountain in an instant.
When the light in front of him faded, Liang Yue saw another scene.
"It's really annoying to fight with a mystic. Sometimes I'm in the air, sometimes I'm underground, and I don't even know where I am." He muttered softly before looking up at his surroundings.
This is a land very close to the sky. Looking up, you can see endless huge stars. On the canvas of distant stars, there is an extremely huge palace complex. The palace in the middle is so big that it can almost encompass the Milky Way.
Even though the objects of comparison are stars, it still looks magnificent.
Right above the palace hangs a golden plaque painted with vermilion, with two large and complicated characters "Heavenly Palace" written on them.
For some reason, Liang Yue felt an urge to kneel down as soon as he looked over. He suppressed it and turned his head to look elsewhere.
When he turned around, he saw Xuanyuan XIV walking towards him on this desolate star.
"You couldn't block her magical power either?" Liang Yue asked.
"When she regains her divine powers, only gods can stop her." Regulus 14 shrugged.
"I thought that since you dared to challenge Bei Luo Shi Men, you must be a fairyland." Liang Yue said. "Heh." Xuanyuan Shisi looked a little relaxed, smiled and said, "It was a long time ago, but..."
He turned his head to look at the magnificent palace among the stars, and quickly turned his head away, saying, "Since we haven't left yet, I'll tell you about our story."
Liang Yue was actually a little anxious to get out. If he didn't get rid of the mystic's illusion quickly, he might never have another chance to get rid of it.
But seeing that Xuanyuan Shisi was at his wits' end, he had even less idea what to do, so he decided to just see what he could say.
"These scenes are not fake. Outside of your world, there really is such a vast world, endless and filled with gods. She and I were once part of it, surviving for tens of millions of years before falling."
died?
Liang Yue was a little confused at the beginning of the story.
"I don't remember much about my life." Xuanyuan Shisi said, "You know that people lose their memories after they die, right?"
"How refreshing." Liang Yue said with a smile: "I usually don't think about anything after I die."
"After all, we are gods, so we are different." Xuanyuan Shisi continued: "I vaguely remember that we should be a couple, buried on a star. After who knows how many years... we just waited for the remaining spirituality to be annihilated, and then completely disappeared from the world."
"But it just so happened that the star where we were buried was chopped down by a sword from one of your gods, and the mountain where we were was chopped down."
"Phantom God Peak?" Liang Yue immediately realized where he was talking about.
The person who killed them should be the Chu Saint who ascended to heaven in ancient times.
"The rules of your world are really strange." Xuanyuan Shisi continued, "I've never heard of any world that has to slash something before it can ascend. Other stars will collapse and perish after producing one or two immortals who can ascend, waiting to be reborn millions of years later. But it's not the same here. A world that can be passed down for hundreds of thousands of years is something I've never seen in my life."
"Ah, strictly speaking it can't be called a lifetime, it's the first time we meet in two lifetimes." Xuanyuan Shisi laughed at himself again.
"You don't have to be so strict." Liang Yue was very interested in what he said. He had never heard of these secrets between the gods. "What do you mean by what you have to kill in order to ascend?"
"In a normal world, it is already difficult to cultivate a fairyland. Once he ascends, he will take away most of the spiritual energy of the world and the rules of an entire avenue, and the world will soon collapse. The rest of the creatures were originally just a foil to compete for the emergence of the fairyland. After failing, it is only natural that they will perish along with the world."
"But your world has a law of ascension set by the predecessors. You must kill enough spiritual energy before you can ascend. This allows the creatures of the world to survive for a long time, but it is extremely unfair to the ascenders."
"Of course, this has nothing to do with us, it's just a casual chat." Xuanyuan Fourteen continued, "After we landed, because the spiritual energy of this world is abundant, the wisp of divinity that we each retained gradually awakened, and the holy one discovered us. He knew that the Shinto inheritance we practiced was not available in this world, so he helped us reshape our souls and let us stay here to inherit the Shinto."
"Shinto is what you now call... the secret art."
"So it was you who brought the secret technique here." Liang Yue suddenly realized.
"Then the god ascended to heaven, and we stayed in the human world to fulfill our promise and pass on the way of the gods. If nothing unexpected happens, we will disappear after living for another thousand years. But she didn't want to. After living a new life, she seemed to become a little paranoid and had an unusual desire for life."
Liang Yue nodded. Friends who often die know that it is definitely better to stay alive.
"Then she remembered that there was an immature forget-me-not on the Illusion God Peak. This thing is listed as one of the ten great immortal species in your world." Xuanyuan Fourteen said, "Forget-me-not is also a rare immortal herb in the upper realm. Eating it can restore one to the perfect state of its peak. Later, this forget-me-not disappeared. Considering the age, it may have matured."
"We searched for it together, and finally found it in Xuanming Sea."
"Before we found the forget-me-not grass, we agreed to refine it into two elixirs. We each take one and can recover some of our cultivation." At this point, his expression began to become a little gloomy. "She has always been the person I trust the most, so I never doubted her..."
"But that night, she suddenly attacked me, severely injured me, sealed me up, and left alone with the forget-me-not."
"After a long time, I finally opened the seal. By then, Yin Country had been established, and she had become the god who protected this country, Bei Luo Shimen!"
It turns out that there is such a grudge between them.
Liang Yue finally understood why Xuanyuan Fourteen spent so much effort and energy to cause trouble for her.
If it was just hatred, it would be fine, but perhaps the betrayal was what he found most difficult to let go.
"In fact, she has a grudge against more than just me." After calming down for a moment, Xuanyuan Shisi looked at Liang Yue again, "You people in this world have all been fooled by her."
"Being fooled?" Liang Yue was a little confused.
"There can only be three immortals in this world, and only the strongest among them can ascend. But her existence occupies the greatest spiritual energy in the world, which directly cuts off the possibility of other immortals ascending. As long as Bei Luo Shimen is not dead, there will never be another ascender in this world, and there is no way to sublime again. She is afraid that people will discover this secret, and she is also worried that the other immortals will unite to deal with her, so she has been secretly plotting to murder those newly promoted immortals."
"This is also why, over the past ten thousand years, there have been so many immortals in the human race, but few have lived past three hundred years old."
Bei Luo Shimen has been secretly harming the Fairyland?
This news was indeed quite shocking and shocked Liang Yue for a while.
Thinking back to what happened to Master Zhang Xuan...
Although he is also a great immortal, Bei Luo Shimen is more advanced and her secret techniques are more mysterious. Perhaps it is her method to take action when others are practicing at the critical moment.
"Then why doesn't she leave?" Liang Yue was puzzled again, "Can't she become an ascender?"
"No." Xuanyuan Shisi shook his head again, "Because we practice the way of gods, we don't have the ability to kill the existence of the upper realm. Even if she occupies more spiritual energy, she can only do whatever she wants in this world, and she can't break the restrictions of the law of ascension. I guess she has been trying to erase the law of ascension for so many years. When she leaves, this world will be downgraded or even collapse directly."
Listening to his description, Liang Yue gradually understood what the Law of Ascension was.
According to the understanding of the people in the upper realm, this world exists for the purpose of giving birth to a sacred being. After the sacred being flies away, life and death here will no longer matter. The rest of the creatures are just sacrifices for those who failed in the competition.
But this world had ancestors in the past, who believed that this world nurtured the divine, and that you must repay them before you can leave. Not to mention sublimating the world, at least you can't leave with a lot of spiritual energy here, and let your hometown fall into collapse and destruction.
Therefore, the ancient sages established the law of ascension, which increased the difficulty of ascending to the immortal realm, but allowed the creatures between heaven and earth to multiply for a long time and the world to continue to sublimate.
The law of ascension is very necessary for a world.
It's like one day Jiuyang becomes a more prosperous country than Yin State. If someone collects wealth that is enough to rival a country in Jiuzhou and then takes all the wealth to Jiuyang, Yin State will also suffer a heavy blow.
Especially someone like Bei Luo Shimen, the means she used to obtain wealth were not legitimate, and in order to prevent others from threatening her position, she has been cutting off the path of development for others.
"We must stop her from breaking through the Law of Ascension." Liang Yue said, but turned around and smiled bitterly.
That’s not the point here.
"It's good that you understand." Xuanyuan Shisi said, "As long as her cultivation accumulates to a level higher than that of the person who set the Ascension Law, this rule can be erased. By then, this world will be destroyed, so you must help me."
"If we can get out, I can help you." Liang Yue said, "But can we get out?"
"Of course we can get out." Xuanyuan Fourteen chuckled, "There are experts outside."
"Oh?" Liang Yue's eyes lit up, he turned his head to look into the distance, and his sight was on the vast heavenly palace again.
Although this is an illusion, the scene comes from the real upper world.
There really is such a huge existence in the world that makes people tremble with fear.
Liang Yue suppressed the urge to kneel down in his heart, his eyes flickered, and suddenly he seemed to have a glimmer of enlightenment.
He seemed to see the white-clothed figure dancing with the sword in the sky. This time it was extremely clear. The figure seemed to be... Wang Rulin's face.
Master, he...
Have you ever seen anything?
Xuanyuan Shisi, who was standing by, was also a little surprised to see Liang Yue suddenly lost in thought. It seemed that this man had suddenly realized something. In this situation, it was unclear whether he should be said to have a high level of understanding or a broad mind.
Thousands of words were combined into one sentence, and he couldn't help but murmur and exclaimed: "Can this be understood?"
