Chapter 1066 Let’s Explore the Road First

what? !

He actually caught up with me?

But why is this?
No matter how Xuan Gu thought, he couldn't figure out what on earth was there about him that was worthy of this senior's attention.

His expression changed for a while, and he forced a smile: "Senior..."

Before he finished speaking, Yamu slowly raised his hand, and a brilliant silver light burst out from his palm.

Feeling the terrifying energy contained in the silver light, Xuan Gu's face changed suddenly. He interrupted his words without hesitation, left behind his "companion" who was still trying to take over the body of the cultivator named Li, and turned to flee into the sky.

However, no matter how fast Xuan Gu's escape speed is, it can never compare to Yamu's Qigong wave.

The next moment, a silver beam of light shot out from Yamu's palm, catching up with Xuan Gu's figure.

The speed of the silver light beam was so fast that even Xuan Gu, who was prepared, was unable to dodge it. He only had time to cover his body with a thin layer of protective green light before the silver light beam instantly pierced through his chest.

"Pfft-"

A severe pain came from his chest. Xuan Gu widened his eyes, gritted his teeth, and his consciousness reached out to the storage bag in panic, as if he wanted to take something out of it.

But unfortunately, before his spiritual sense could touch the storage bag, the silver beam of light that pierced his chest swelled up in the wind.

"boom!!"

The terrifying energy suddenly surged and turned into a violent ocean of energy, exploding Xuan Gu's body from the inside out and annihilating all matter within a hundred meters into dust.

Looking from a distance, it seemed as if a silver lightsaber stretched out from the barren mountain, reaching from the sky to the earth.

In the middle of the silver lightsaber, a ball of brilliant silver fireworks exploded, engulfing everything around it.

Looking at the silver ocean that suddenly exploded in the sky ahead, Yamu's expression remained unchanged. The ring on the little finger of his right hand emitted a blue light, and he easily grabbed the storage bag that he had deliberately avoided from the chaotic energy tide.

In addition, along with the storage bag, there was also a broken soul, which was the only remaining soul of Xuan Gu.

Yamu grabbed the remnant soul with his right hand that was glowing with blue light, and then glanced at Han Li and Fairy Zi Ling and said, "I'll leave that guy to you."

Han Li and Fairy Zi Ling came to their senses, suppressed their shock, nodded, turned around and ran to deal with the old ghost who was taking over another person's body.

Yamu knew that Han Li had the divine thunder that could ward off evil spirits, so he was not worried at all and shifted his attention to the remaining soul of Xuan Gu.

To be honest, with Xuan Gu's current strength, Yamu doesn't need to take any action at all. Han Li alone can easily deal with him.

But Yamu still took action, because he was really curious why the plot had changed so much, and Xuan Gu was able to arrive at Xutian Palace in time, and even take over a flesh and blood body like in the original book.

Thinking of this, blue light burst out from Yamu's palm, and he began to forcibly read Xuan Gu's remaining memories.

Soon, Xuan Gu's remaining soul was shattered in the blue light.

Yamu let go of his hand and finally understood why Xuan Gu appeared here.

It turned out that his appearance was actually the butterfly effect caused by Han Li.

In the original plot, Han Li was invited by a fellow Taoist named Jin Qing decades later to explore an ancient cultivator's site, where he met Master Xuan Gu who was lying in ambush there.

At that time, Han Li brought his external incarnation, Qu Hun, which was a Sha Dan clone refined using the Xuan Yin Dafa. If you trace back to its origin, it was the secret technique that Xuan Gu passed on to his two disciples back then.

Because of this, Xuan Gu easily took over Qu Hun's body, and thus possessed a physical body and could walk in the outside world.

But in this life, Han Li had not met Jin Qing, nor had he gone to the ancient cultivators' ruins, so it was naturally nonsense to talk about him taking over Qu Hun's body.

However, Han Li used a Purple Star Edict to directly kill the Jiyin ancestor at the temporary residence of the Yinsha Sect. This action not only led to the civil strife and destruction of the Jiyin Island, but also caused a large number of Jiyin Island disciples to flee.

Among them was a cultivator in the middle stage of the Jindan realm. He was defeated in the fight for the inheritance of Ancestor Ji Yin, so he hid outside to recuperate and recuperate. The hiding place he chose happened to be the ancient cultivator's ruins.

What happened next was very simple. The cultivator from Jiyin Island thought he had stumbled upon an opportunity and was overjoyed. However, he was led into a trap step by step by Xuan Gu and eventually his body was taken over by his ancestor Xuan Gu.

Unfortunately, after discovering that the person who had taken over his body was his ancestor Xuan Gu, the cultivator felt a surge of fear and despair in his heart. In order to avoid suffering torture after death, he directly blew up his own soul, leaving no chance for Xuan Gu to extract his soul.

After that, the Xutian Palace was opened ahead of schedule. Xuan Gu learned that Ji Yin was dead, and his mind became clear, and he felt happy.

As for why he still helped the demon to take over another's body, it was mainly because he wanted to retake Jiyin Island after leaving the temple and track down Ji Xuan's whereabouts.

After all, it was not only Patriarch Ji Yin who stabbed him in the back. Without Han Li, let alone Xuan Gu, even Patriarch Ji Yin was not sure what Ji Xuan's current situation was.

Due to various coincidences, the derailed plot has returned to its original track.

Yamu noticed this and looked up at the sky thoughtfully.

At this moment, golden thunder burst out from below, and Han Li drove the evil-repelling divine thunder and easily killed the old ghost who had just taken over his body, causing his soul to fly away with strong resentment and unwillingness.

After flying back into the sky, Yamu threw the storage bag in his hand to Han Li.

Han Li took the storage bag, checked the Nine-bend Spiritual Ginseng in the bag, and then put it away with joy. After a few hours, Ye Fan and Xiao Yan sent a message in the chat group, saying that the Ice and Fire Path had been opened.

When Yamu and the other two received the news, they stopped searching for rare treasures and instead rushed towards the canyon where the Ice and Fire Road was located.

[Emperor Ziwei: Oh, are we finally entering the path of ice and fire? ]

【Xiao Yan: Yes! 】

[Xiao Yan: I have collected a lot of good things these days. Brother Fan can't use them, so he gave them to me. I am confident that when I return to the Dou Qi world this time, I will definitely be able to advance to Dou Master and get the Purple Star Edict!]

【Emperor Ziwei: Okay, I will wait and see. 】

[Klein: By the way, are you planning to take the fire path or the ice path? ]

【Emperor Ziwei: Is there any need to say more?】

[Emperor Ziwei: With Xiao Yanzi here, I think we have to take the path of fire! ]

【Klein: That’s right...】

[Emperor Ziwei: @Xiao Yan, however, I suggest you suppress your impulse. ]

[Emperor Ziwei: The flames in the Fire Dao are all ordinary spiritual fires, not top-notch. The real good stuff is the dry blue ice flame in the Xutian Ding in the inner hall.]

[Xiao Yan: Blue Ice Flame? ]

【Emperor Ziwei: Haha, you will know when you get there! 】

Seeing the message sent by Lin Zhongtian in the chat group, Xiao Yan's heart was immediately moved.

He looked at the canyon entrance in front of him, then looked at Ye Fan beside him, and couldn't help but said: "Brother Fan, how about we go in first?"

Ye Fan glanced at him and said with a smile: "Don't worry, with Uncle Master's speed, he will be here in a while..."

Just as the two were talking, a black-robed monk walked out from the entrance of the canyon. It was Yuan Yao who had traveled with them in the first level.

When she saw Ye Fan and Xiao Yan outside the canyon, her eyes immediately lit up and she quickly flew over.

"Senior Ye, Fellow Daoist Xiao, you are finally here!"

Ye Fan looked at Yuan Yao and chuckled, "Friend Yuan, you are here too."

Yuan Yao looked at the canyon entrance behind him and saw that there were no other cultivators. Then he said in a voice transmission: "To be honest with you, Senior, I have already arrived at this pass two days ago, but you and others have been missing for a long time, so I have not been able to enter the Ice and Fire Road."

"Oh?" Ye Fan raised his eyebrows and said in surprise, "Are you waiting for us?"

Yuan Yao nodded, and said solemnly: "Senior and Han Daoyou's life-saving grace is forever in my heart, so there are some things that I feel I must report to you..."

Ye Fan said with interest: "You say."

Yuan Yao transmitted the message truthfully: "When the seniors and others stepped into the teleportation array, I was about to follow them, but suddenly I found that the Nascent Soul cultivators of the righteous and evil paths seemed to be communicating with each other through voice transmission."

"I became suspicious at the time and suspected that they wanted to target you and that mysterious senior."

“However, I am only a Jindan cultivator after all. It is impossible for me to detect the consciousness of a Yuanying cultivator. Therefore, I only made a guess based on their eye contact at that time.”

“But when I arrived at the Ice and Fire Path, I discovered that those Nascent Soul cultivators arrived together three hours later, and then stepped directly into the Ice and Fire Paths without stopping. It seemed that something unusual would happen a little later…”

Oh?
Hearing this, Ye Fan became interested.

After a little thought, he looked at Yuan Yao and said with a smile: "Friend Yuan, what do you think is the abnormality?"

Yuan Yao frowned and whispered, "I don't know either, I just guess that this anomaly should be related to the Ice and Fire Dao."

“Looking at how anxious those Nascent Soul cultivators are to enter the Ice and Fire Path, perhaps after a while, the difficulty of the Ice and Fire Path will increase sharply, or perhaps the time the Ice and Fire Path is open will be greatly shortened, and it will be completely closed soon, making it impossible for the cultivators to enter the inner hall again.”

"If it's the former, then it's easy to deal with, but if it's the latter, then it's really troublesome..."

Having said that, Yuan Yao paused, looked at Ye Fan and said cautiously: "Senior, what do you think?"

Ye Fan blinked, then suddenly smiled and said meaningfully: "I think, why can't it be both?"

Yuan Yao and Xiao Yan were both stunned when they heard this.

Ye Fan didn't care about their reactions. He turned around and walked towards the canyon entrance, saying leisurely, "Junior Brother Xiao, go tell Uncle Shi and the others that the situation has changed. Let's go in and explore the way first!"

Xiao Yan came back to his senses, quickly sent a message to the chat group, and then quickly followed.

Yuan Yao hesitated for a while, and did not dare to move forward until Ye Fan and Xiao Yan disappeared at the entrance.

She sighed quietly, feeling a little regretful, but in the next second, a golden light rushed in from the entrance of the canyon and dragged her in amid Yuan Yao's screams.
