"Ms. Deng, this Master Kong friend is from what circle of people? Why have I never heard of his name before?" Zhao Gongming asked very puzzled.
He feels that this Kong Xuan can challenge the Daoren Daoist, so strong force has always been unnoticed? Is that reasonable?
Kong Xuan is quite kind to himself, the Immortals of the Primordial Chaos are very wary of their roots being exposed, and Deng ChanYu wouldn't go out of her way to sabotage for the sake of showing off temporarily.
She answered truthfully and falsely: "It's a big-powered person I met earlier at the WuZhuangGuan."
WuzhuangGuan? Zhao Gongming's mind was twisted at once.
YunXiao was ultimately defeated, even if her sword art was higher and her understanding of formations was deeper, she still lacked the hard power of Kong Xuan, and no matter how she planned it, it was useless.
Kong Xuan bade farewell and returned to the Primordial Chaos world to continue refining his Five Elements Dao.
They control the Tao Palace to seek the world that is said to have established some order, where there are numerous primordial and semi-primordial beings.
"BieXiao, stop playing around. For the sake of our senior sister, we should practice for a while." QiongXiao's mood was a bit low.
It's hard to accept that their seemingly invincible elder sister was defeated by a "stranger."
Yun Xiao deliberately made expressions of despondency, pain, and sadness. Upon seeing this, Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao felt that it was their duty to protect their elder sister in the future. Dropping the Mahjong tiles, they both retreated to meditate in seclusion.
After they left, Yun Xiao quickly returned to normal.
Without two more people, the game of Mahjong cannot go on.
Seeing Yun Xiao forcing her sisters to practice by using a method similar to the "straw man" tactic, Deng Chan Yu felt a thousand thoughts. If it were her own sister, she would have killed her long ago; why would she coax her to practice? She can choose whether or not to practice!
The two young ladies went to practice, and Yun Xiao, Lao Zhao, and Deng Chan Yu could talk about some topics among immortals.
"What is the sword that your sister is carrying?" Yun Xiao has seen her Duan Xian Sword, felt familiar with it, but at the same time found it hard to believe.
Deng ChanYu smiled as she drew the sword from its sheath.
Zhao Gongming's eyes suddenly widened. He looked down at the Zhuojian Sword hanging from his waist, then at the Duan Xian Sword she held in her hand.
When he heard that the Shu Xian four swords were actually five, his mouth opened wide, as if he were an idiot.
Yun Xiao spoke seriously, "Sister, while it's a good thing to completely purify the demon sword, have you considered that unless a sage personally intervenes, it's very difficult for us to truly purify this sword with our own abilities? The influence of the demon on the Dao is too profound."
Deng ChanYu pondered deeply. She now had this feeling too, the demonic shadow inside the sword was not a common enemy. It has not been worn out by hundreds of times of great enlightenment, and will it be purified when it returns to the Sun Star? To ask for help from Nuwa? But then why had she spent all that effort in vain before?
Yun Xiao coughed, and Zhao Gongming quickly added, "Our teacher, the upper immortal Saint, has said that if the demon inside the four Shu Xian swords cannot be completely eliminated, it can be left behind in part, to be used for daily cultivation of one's Dao-heart."
Zhao Gongming was speaking of TongTian Daoist's understanding. In the current Primordial Chaos world, no one should be more knowledgeable about the four Shu Xian swords than TongTian Daoist.
Deng ChanYu was not in a hurry to make a decision. She had plenty of time to think things over slowly.
Deng ChanYu and her team found the dark blue chaos turbulence mentioned by Kong Xuan. After nearly three years, they finally stepped onto a gray belt dotted with fragments of the world.
Endless fragments of worlds, whose original forms were indistinguishable, were piled together, influenced by the chaotic currents, forming a path.
The journey was very rough, and larger world fragments could be avoided in advance, but smaller ones were unavoidable. To prevent the fragments from destroying the Tao Palace, Yun Xiao, Zhao Gongming, and Deng ChanYu took turns holding their swords to chop and hack through this difficult path.
In this environment, it is impossible to seclude oneself. QiongXiao and BiXiao came out early to input energy into the Tao Palace.
"Brother, ArYu, come quick and take a look. Is that the world Master Kong was talking about? This world looks very strange, it seems to be made up of something." Yun Xiao called out to the four of them.
A few people came to her side, each stretching their necks to look outside.
Infinite chaos space, a continent that continuously emits white light was floating.
The distance from the Tao Palace to the continent is unknown. In terms of straight-line distance, it is most likely to intersect, but in chaos, there is no such concept as a straight line.
QiongXiao and BiXiao have no say in this matter. This is their first time entering the chaotic space, and they have no idea what it is.
Zhao Gongming had been here once, in secret to protect Yun Xiao. Yes, a Golden Immortal of the third level was protecting a Saint of the first level. He later realized that Yun Xiao would be fine, but he would easily hang around here. That's when Lao Zhao's first journey into chaos came to an end.
Lao Zhao, with his lack of experience, shook his head, indicating that he could not discern the truth or falsity of the white continent.
Deng ChanYu has sufficient experience, having traveled alone in the chaotic space for a long time. She has visited the World of the Sea-Dragon, the World of Pangu, and even the Primordial Chaos world.
She wasn't very sure, "It should be a world made up of bones of some demon god. That light is not white, but the spiritual glow on the bodies, there are so many bodies that have been chaoticized"
Yun Xiao frowned and asked inquiringly, "Would the Great Heavenly Lord be here?"
Involved with the task of saints, no one dared to ignore it.
If they don't meet, that's fine. But if they do encounter someone and become timid and hesitate, afterwards no one could bear the responsibility.
"Let me predict it." Deng ChanYu quickly took out the River Chart and Luo Book.
Yun Xiao and Zhao Gongming helped her calculate together.
"This result is a bit ambiguous," said Deng ChanYu, looking at the hexagrams, she was also a bit uncertain. It was because this place was too far from the Primordial Chaos; the rules of the Primordial Chaos were hard to take effect here, so the calculation error was huge.
Yun Xiao was very decisive and said, "Let me go and take a look. Brother, protect the three sisters."
Just as Yun Xiao was about to go out, Deng ChanYu pulled her hand in front of Zhao Gongming's strange gaze, "Wait a moment. We'd better act together."
She was afraid of becoming an additional burden, with Yun Xiao going first and then having no news, followed by Lao Zhao, and then he too had no news. If she went next, it would be a series of sacrifices - the most foolish method.
"But" Yun Xiao was very hesitant, Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao's current strength is too weak. Qiong Xiao is only an Immortal, and Bi Xiao has just reached the True Immortal level. If these two sisters were in danger, it would greatly affect Yun Xiao's combat power.
Deng ChanYu continued to persuade, "The Tao Palace can be put away, Master Kong is not a man of idle talk. As he said it's safe, I estimate at least a seven out of ten chance of safety. Let's go together."
Yun Xiao was eventually persuaded: "Alright."
As they got close enough to the white bone world, Deng ChanYu put away the Tao Palace, and they each rode on the divine treasures of sages, descending onto this world in the chaotic space.
It was called a world, but actually it looked more like a hive made up of countless caves of various sizes, randomly stacked together. Some caves had beings inside, most of them were empty.
"Sister, look over there, that one seems to be!" BiXiao pointed at a cave, her expression filled with shock.
As they followed her gaze, they saw a chaotic lock of chains randomly binding an old tusked elephant that was as black as ink.
The old elephant was covered in wounds, with its flesh and skin flapping out, and it was still bleeding. However, its blood was absorbed by the chains and turned into new chains that further bound it.
What about an elephant? Deng ChanYu didn't realize there was anything wrong here.
Seeing Zhao Gongming and Yun Xiao's angry looks, she suddenly realized and finally understood, this was Lingya Xian, one of the Seven Servants of the Lord. It was directly reduced to its original form? This was too pitiful!
