Mortal Bones

Xu Taiping immediately closed his eyes and concentrated.

In an instant, the golden lotus that had not yet bloomed appeared in his mind and slowly bloomed.

Immediately, the second soul mark formed by the power of Liantong's deduction was unsealed, and a strange picture appeared in Xu Taiping's mind.

In this picture, there is a figure whose back can only be seen clearly, slowly walking out of the passage of a dark cave. On the man's wrist, he is also wearing a jade bracelet that emits a faint light.

Xu Taiping took a closer look and immediately said with a surprised look on his face:

"Isn't this a wind-listening bracelet?"

At this moment, a ray of light appeared in the originally dark passage. With this ray of light, Xu Taiping finally saw the naked back figure clearly.

"I?"

Xu Taiping was surprised to find that the person walking out of the passage was himself.

But soon, he discovered the difference between that man and himself - that man had two less soul marks on his back than his.

And in the process of walking forward, a light cyan halo will appear on the skin of his body.

Except for the first time, although this divine soul mark cannot sense the aura of the person at this time.

But after careful observation, Xu Taiping discovered that every time the man took a step forward, the surrounding light would become distorted.

It's like the ripples that appear after a stone is thrown into the water surface that was originally as smooth as a mirror.

After discovering this, Xu Taiping's attention began to shift from the figure's back to his surroundings.

As a result, this sight shocked him even more.

Because he discovered that every time the man stepped out, he would leave a deep footprint on the ground of the passage.

Even the stones touched by his clothes or feet were instantly turned into powder.

Although the current Xu Taiping can do this easily, but like this person in the soul mark, even if he walks around casually, he can turn everything he touches into powder, and there is no visible use of true energy and energy. Signs of blood.

Xu Taiping believed that he would never be able to do it.

After watching it several times, Taiping suddenly had an extremely bold idea in his mind -

"The back figure in the divine soul mark is indeed him, but it is not him now. It is him who has unlocked two divine soul marks and is very likely to have greatly improved his cultivation."

Thinking of this, Xu Taiping slowly opened his eyes and murmured in a confused tone:

"Could it be said that the person who helped Buyu deal with this calamity must be me who has released two more soul seals and has greatly improved my cultivation?"

Fairy Lingyue on the side, after hearing Xu Taiping's soliloquy, immediately interrupted him and said:

"What did you find?"

Xu Taiping did not answer, but raised his palm to Fairy Lingyue and said, "Sister Lingyue, take a look too."

Fairy Lingyue nodded, raised her hand, gave Xu Taiping a high-five, and accepted the soul mark sent by Xu Taiping.

Immediately, Fairy Lingyue began to close her eyes and concentrate. It was not until a moment later that she opened her eyes.

Just like Xu Taiping did before, Fairy Lingyue also had a look of surprise in her eyes after seeing the soul mark formed by the power of Lian Tong's deduction.

But soon, Fairy Lingyue looked at Xu Taiping with a serious face and said:

"Taiping, although I'm not sure whether that person is definitely you, what is certain is that that person's cultivation level is at least at the Shocking Realm, and he has a body at the Great Saint Realm."

When Xu Taiping heard this, his heart trembled and he said:

"The cultivation of the shocking realm, the body of the great saint..."

When he said this, he looked up at Fairy Lingyue and asked solemnly:

"Sister Lingyue, the person in Ruo Lantong's deduction scene is me. Does that mean that only by breaking through the shocking realm in cultivation and breaking through the great saint realm in body can we resolve the calamity on Buyu's body?"

Fairy Lingyue thought carefully, then nodded and said:

"I don't know that Yuyangzi very well, but when your cultivation reaches the shocking realm and your body breaks through the great sage realm, you will at least be able to fight with him."

Hearing this, Xu Taiping smiled bitterly and said:

"I may not be able to break through the body of the Great Saint Realm and the cultivation of the Shocking Realm within a hundred years."

"Fortunately, Wuyu will leave Qingxuan soon, otherwise I really don't know what to do."

Hearing that Lin Buyu was leaving Qingxuan, Fairy Lingyue's expression relaxed a little, nodded and said:

"It seems that this disaster will not happen to Buyu in a short period of time."

Liantong deduced that the things he predicted would not happen immediately. This had already happened when he predicted the catastrophe of Qingxuan Sect.

So neither of them felt anything was wrong.

At this time, Fairy Lingyue suddenly warned Xu Taiping in a serious tone:

"But Taiping, if you are unable to complete the experience of the Long Scroll of Time, then the time it will take for your cultivation to break through to the shocking realm, let alone a hundred years, may even be a thousand years."

Xu Taiping's heart trembled when he heard this, and he asked with some confusion: "Sister Lingyue, why did you say this?"

Based on his understanding of Liantong, Lin Buyu's disaster will definitely happen within a hundred years.

So if he couldn't break through within a hundred years, he might really not be able to cope with Lin Buyu's calamity.

Fairy Lingyue immediately explained to Xu Taiping:

"Taiping, you may not understand. Under normal circumstances, if you want to break through the shocking realm, even if I help you, you can only break through within five hundred years at most."

"If you want to break through within a hundred years, or even a shorter period of time, you can only do what your master Lu Daoxuan said, accumulate enough strength in the long scroll of time, and finally use the power of nine bronze coffins to make a breakthrough in one fell swoop. Breakthrough from looking at the sky to the realm of shocking the sky.”

Even a monk with Fairy Lingyue's experience could not find a faster way to improve Xu Taiping's cultivation than what Lu Daoxuan said.

Fairy Lingyue added:

"If your experience in the Time Scroll goes well, you may even be able to break through to the shocking realm within thirty to fifty years."

After hearing Fairy Lingyue's explanation, Xu Taiping nodded seriously and said:

"It seems that this experience in the scroll of time cannot be avoided."

Fairy Lingyue also nodded and said:

"Originally, I thought you could seek stability in peace and slowly break through to the shocking realm bit by bit, but now it seems like you can."

"Whether it's because of Qingxuanzong and the people around him, or because of the increasingly treacherous chaos in the Shangqing Realm, the faster your cultivation can break through, the better."

Xu Taiping nodded seriously and said:

"I understand."

Although his experience is far less than that of Fairy Lingyue, judging from his experience in several worlds over the years, the signs of Jiuyuan's intervention in the Shangqing world are indeed becoming more and more obvious.

And even if he doesn't look at the Shangqing Realm, just looking at Qingxuanzong and the people around him, Xu Taiping's sense of urgency for improving his cultivation is getting stronger and stronger.

Xu Taiping glanced out the window and murmured solemnly:

"Even if there is no such thing as being silent, I have to break through to the shocking realm as soon as possible. After all, the second senior brother is still waiting for me in the underworld!"

Only by breaking through to the shocking realm can he go to the outer world and find Fengdu, the legendary entrance to the underworld.

Seeing that Xu Taiping had made up his mind, Fairy Lingyue suggested directly:

"In that case, we will go down to the Youxuan Devil's Cave in three days to see how the situation is with Mr. Lu. If possible, we will directly enter the Long Scroll of Light and Shadow."

When she said this, Fairy Lingyue suddenly paused, then took out the Sword Kuiling from her sleeve and handed it to Xu Taiping, and then continued:

"Before that, you first receive the reward from the True Martial Swordsman Association, and then we will sort it out together and make preparations for entering the Scroll of Time."

Xu Taiping took the Sword Order, looked at it carefully, and then asked Fairy Lingyue:

"Sister Lingyue, can I only choose one?"

Fairy Lingyue nodded and said:

"I specifically asked the Lord of the Nine Palaces who sent the Sword Kui Ling, and it is true that I can only choose one."

"But judging from what he said, apart from Emperor Zhenwu himself, only the Zhenwu Swordsman of each term can enter the arsenal you entered this time."

"The previous Jiufu Sword Leader is not qualified to enter."

Xu Taiping knew the difference between Zhenwu Sword Leader and Jiufu Sword Leader. The Sword Leader Association, which only disciples of Zhenwutian Jiufu participate in, is called the Jiufu Sword Leader Association, and the selected swordsman leader is also called the Jiufu Sword Leader.

Only the Sword Leader Association that the monks from the five directions of heaven and earth participate in can be called the Zhenwu Sword Leader Association, and its sword leader can also be called the Zhenwu Sword Leader.

This was the first time Xu Taiping heard this statement, and he said with surprise:

"In other words, I am the first to enter this arsenal in the tens of thousands of years since the Zhenwu Barrier was set up?"

Fairy Lingyue nodded, "You can say that."

Xu Taiping picked up the piece of Jian Kuihui in his hand, examined it carefully once again, and then asked Fairy Lingyue for advice:

"Sister Lingyue, do you have any suggestions about this treasure?"

Fairy Lingyue naturally knew much more about this legendary arsenal that only Emperor Zhenwu and Sword Master Zhenwu could enter.

Fairy Lingyue seemed to have been waiting for Xu Taiping's words for a long time, and she almost blurted out:

"Leiyin Banner!"
