Inquiry about immortality

Chapter 2212: Day and Night Alternation

The giant eyes of the demon python were like two lanterns hanging in the sky. Flames began to emerge from its body. Under the influence of the flames, the surrounding clouds turned into red clouds.

The sky was filled with crimson glow, reflecting the terrifying figure of the demon python.

The giant python continued to roar, each roar was shrill, and the fierceness in the python's eyes became more and more intense, and its eyeballs seemed to be ignited and turned into two balls of fire.

‘Wow! ’

Suddenly, a pillar of fire appeared on the ground.

The demon python's sight swept across a mountain and actually set the peak of the mountain on fire. In the raging fire, one could see with the naked eye that the mountain was burning and quickly melting in the flames.

'Shuh! '

When the demon python's Dharma image looked over, two substantial gazes pierced through the void, and two huge beams of light shot down from the sky.

Qin Sang's protective true energy was turbulent, and Liuli's face turned a little pale.

'boom! ’

The ball of fire that the giant python had just spewed out seemed to be infused with new energy by the gaze of the demon python's Dharma image, and it suddenly exploded with a power far beyond Qin Sang's expectations.

The blazing fire was everywhere, and the flames could almost lick Qin Sang and Liuli, and they were about to be engulfed by the flames. It was unknown what kind of demonic fire this was, but in terms of power alone, Qin Sang had rarely seen any spiritual fire that could match it.

'call out! ’

The sword light was like a dragon, and the Grey Oriole Sword swung out, slashing at the flames in front of it several times, but it could only block the flames but could not force them back.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Qin Sang and Liuli retreated again and again, keeping some distance between them.

He raised his head and looked at the Demonic Python. It seemed that a fierce battle was inevitable. He didn't know how fast the Sky Snake General could escape. If he and Liuli fled at this time, they would have a chance to get rid of it.

However, after encountering this strange demon cultivator, Qin Sang was unwilling to leave just like that. He wanted to get more information from the giant python and solve some mysteries.

His intuition told him that the origin of the Heavenly Snake General was very strange.

The Sky Snake General claimed to be from Yixiu. There are twenty-eight stars in Yixiu. He is not even a star god or a star official. Just one Sky Snake General has the cultivation level of the late stage of Lianxu. It is hard to imagine how huge this organization is. If the East China Sea aquatic creatures have such a force, it is impossible that he has not heard of it.

In addition, the Heavenly Snake General's behavior was also very strange. Like the monsters in the beast tide, he was infected by madness and his mind was confused. However, he and Liuli were safe and sound.

Qin Sang looked around, especially at the sky. There was no second fireball, only the Sky Snake General in front of him. Although the Sky Snake General was powerful, he had lost his mind. He still had a chance.

I have the ability to kill the immortal child, so can't I deal with a mere Heavenly Snake General?

Thinking of this, Qin Sang sent a message to Liuli, asking her to avoid the sharp edge first and to prepare for his own retreat. There was no need to unseal the Emperor's Talisman for the time being.

Liuli nodded, turned around and flew out.

At this time, Qin Sang secretly chanted a mantra, and heavy rain suddenly began to fall from the sky. It was the Nine Heavens Bitan Thunderstorm Technique.

The rain poured down in torrents, and the fire suddenly died down, but it was only suppressed by the thunder for a moment, and then it began to counterattack fiercely.

Taking this opportunity, Qin Sang changed his sword moves, and the Four Symbols Sword Formation slowly unfolded. He narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at the movements of the Demonic Python Dharma Image, and found that the Demonic Python Dharma Image had no intention of avoiding the sword formation.

No experienced monk would allow the enemy to pull him into the sword formation.

Perhaps it sensed danger instinctively, the demon python's counterattack was extremely fierce, but facing the sword formation, it did not dodge or evade, so its counterattack was ineffective and it soon fell into the sea of ​​stars.

This was a test, indicating that the Heavenly Snake General had indeed lost his mind. Qin Sang felt relieved and activated the altar, and the Five Thunders Heavenly Heart Seal was activated!

‘Crack! ’

The demon python was indeed ferocious. Facing the thunder, it chose to confront it head-on. Its head shot up into the sky, its bloody mouth opened wide, and it spewed out a flame to meet the thunder.

'boom! ’

The blue lightning and blazing flames collided, and the aftermath swept across the sea of ​​stars, unable to subside for a long time.

Qin Sang was well prepared. He stabilized the sword formation and activated the sword stars at the same time. Countless sword lights filled the sky and shot towards the Sky Snake General.

"hiss!"

The demon python rotated its upper body and a circle of demon fire spewed out of its mouth. The flames swept in all directions. When the sword lights touched the demon fire, they melted like ice and snow and could not get close. This shows the power of the demon fire.

However, Qin Sang's offensive had just begun, and in a short time he had already discovered many flaws of the Heavenly Snake General. Losing his mind, with only great strength, such an opponent was not difficult to deal with.

Next, Qin Sang seized the weakness of the Heavenly Snake General and used only swordsmanship and thunder magic. Thunderbolts struck the demon python's Dharma image one after another. At the same time, the sword stars moved together, using the power of the sword formation to eliminate the opponent's power.

The Heavenly Serpent General was completely trapped here. The huge body of the demon python seemed to be able to smash countless stars with a move, but it was like hitting cotton, and it was sinking deeper and deeper.

"Aren't you going to use your spiritual treasure yet?"

Qin Sang stared at the demon python's Dharma image and saw that the Heavenly Snake General had only been using the power of the Dharma image. He didn't know whether he had no magic treasure or had lost his mind and was unable to activate it.

It is said that some monks extremely believe in their own strength and reject any external things. However, such people are a minority after all, and "external things" often account for a large proportion of a monk's strength.

The outcome of this battle seems to be no longer in doubt.

As this thought flashed through Qin Sang's mind, he suddenly saw the demon python standing up its body and letting out a sharp howl.

The demon python howled into the sky, and suddenly a red light shone into the sword formation, and a red star appeared above the demon python's head.

Qin Sang's eyes narrowed slightly as he saw flames appear out of thin air. The power of these flames was even greater than the previous demonic fire. He wondered what kind of magical power it was.

At this point, the tests were almost complete. Five-colored light appeared on Qin Sang's chest, and the Five Elements Crown appeared. Immediately, a Five Elements divine light shot towards Chi Xing.

At the same time, thunder magic and sword formation were used together. Qin Sang attacked with all his strength, and with the cooperation of Liuli, the loss of intelligence became the fatal weakness of the Sky Snake General. Soon the red star was shattered, and the momentum of the demon python's Dharma image was greatly weakened, and it gradually showed signs of defeat.

During the fight, Qin Sang had been observing the Heavenly Snake General. He saw that he showed no signs of regaining his wits and had gone completely mad. It was impossible to persuade him to surrender, and even if he was captured, he would probably be of no value.

Outside the sword formation.

Liuli's face was full of vigilance, and she looked around from time to time, guarding against uninvited guests.

When the Four Symbols Sword Formation was activated, there was no special phenomenon in the area where the sword formation was located, only darkness. Liuli blew cold winds into the area and sensed that the Sky Snake General's momentum was suppressed by Qin Sang, and the outcome of the battle was decided.

Suddenly, Liuli seemed to sense something. She looked up abruptly, with a hint of surprise and solemnity in her eyes.

Ever since they entered the secret area, storms and fog have been everywhere, and the sky and the earth have turned grayish white. Although the light is dim, it is not completely dark.

At this time, Liuli saw that the east had become pitch black, and the darkness was spreading towards them rapidly, like a black curtain covering them.

This is the invisible darkness.

In the battle formation, Qin Sang had completely suppressed the Heavenly Snake General. Noticing the changes outside, he raised his head and frowned, but his offensive did not pause at all.

Under Qin Sang's continuous fierce attacks, the demon python roared continuously, but was caught in a dilemma and exposed more and more flaws, which were seized by Qin Sang, accelerating its demise.

Eventually, the Sky Snake was completely at a disadvantage. When it was on the verge of defeat, Qin Sang vaguely sensed something and killed it with lightning speed!

‘Crack! ’

A bolt of green lightning hit the Heavenly Snake General directly.

The scales on the Heavenly Snake's body had already been torn and covered in blood. The snake's head exploded in the thunder, and its flesh and blood scatter.

The snake's body suddenly stiffened and fell downwards.

At this moment, an astonishing scene appeared. The snake's body shattered like an illusion, and the splattered flesh and blood disappeared together, leaving no trace.

The Heavenly Serpent will vanish into thin air, leaving only traces of the battle on the battlefield as signs that it once appeared.

Seeing this scene, Liuli was surprised and asked: "It's fake too?"

Qin Sang nodded.

It is hard to imagine that the Sky Snake General is actually an illusion just like those monsters, but is the intelligence it displays also fake?

Could it be that……

Qin Sang's heart sank as he thought of a possibility. Perhaps those monsters were not only increasing in strength, but were also undergoing mutations. Eventually they would all possess wisdom and be no different from real living creatures!

If this is the case, the beast tide will be even more difficult to deal with.

"What are you thinking about, Fellow Daoist Qin?" Liuli flew over and saw Qin Sang looking thoughtful.

Qin Sang shook his head slightly and said hesitantly: "I always feel that the demon python's appearance is somewhat familiar..."

It's a very strange feeling.

Qin Sang had encountered many demon cultivators before. They also practiced the way of Dharma, but Qin Sang did not have that feeling.

"Is it because of the technique?"

Qin Sang thought of "The Heavenly Demon Refining Form" and couldn't help but look towards the place where the Heavenly Snake was about to fall.

"The Heavenly Demon Form Refining" is the most special demon technique he has ever seen.

"The Heavenly Demon Refining the Body" draws on the power of the stars for cultivation, and the Heavenly Snake claims to be from the Wing Constellation. Is there any connection?

Unfortunately, the Sky Serpent General is just an illusion...

Qin Sang put away his distracting thoughts, glanced at the darkness surrounding him, and asked solemnly, "Is this the power of the Spring and Autumn Sundial?"

Liuli nodded and said in the same serious tone: "Every time the Spring and Autumn Sundial comes out, there will be a switch between black and white, and the rotation of day and night. This scene is very similar to what is recorded."

"It seems that this secret place has indeed undergone drastic changes," Qin Sang sighed.

The Spring and Autumn Sundial will not appear easily. It often has to wait for the Taoist successor to come in and trigger certain conditions.

Not long after they came in, the strange phenomenon of day and night alternation appeared. There was only one explanation: the changes in the secret realm caused the Spring and Autumn Sundial to be born ahead of schedule.

For them, this was definitely not a good thing, as it meant that their future hopes would be even slimmer. They did not have much expectations for the Spring and Autumn Sundial and did not think they could gain recognition from the spirit of the instrument.

However, since Master Ning had specifically instructed them to do so, they would definitely fight for it later no matter what.

……

Outside the heart lake.

Between the clouds and mountains.

Ever since Qin Sang and others entered the secret realm, Hongtian got up from the mat, sometimes looking up at the sky, sometimes looking into the depths of the thick fog.

At this time, Hong Tian suddenly spoke up and said, "I guess there won't be any new fellows coming. I'm sure you all have seen the decree sent down from above, right?"

There was no one else around him, as if he was talking to the void.

It was quiet all around.

After a moment, a question came from outside the mountain: "Hongtian, what do you want to say?"

“Su Wen Hongtian, you are quite courageous. You dared to turn against the Feathered People when you were at the second level of the Void Realm. You don’t want to go against the will of your superiors, do you?” Then a female voice chuckled with a hint of teasing.

"Do you really think I don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is?"

Hong Tian smiled faintly, not getting annoyed, and turned to look into the depths of his heart lake, "Now it seems that those old guys are deeply trapped in it and have no time to spare."

This time, in the name of trial, everyone was forcibly sent in to stir up trouble, and it was also a test for those ancestors.

Qin Sang and others have been in there for such a long time, and the ancestors have no reaction, which is enough to verify some speculations.

"Humph!"

A sharp voice snorted coldly, "Those old guys are stuck inside, and they have to rely on us for the outside! These are obviously benefits left for us, but there are still people who want to get a piece of the pie. I want to see who can throw away his old face and jump out at this time!"

When this person said this, no one agreed, but no one refuted it either, which shows that this is what most people think.

"You may be overthinking it."

After a moment of silence, a gentle female voice was heard.

"It is natural for the ancestors to want to seek some benefits for their disciples. As long as the ancestors do not interfere too much, what those disciples can take away in the end is just a drop in the bucket, which is harmless."

Before the words fell, a hearty voice sounded, "Haha, the Queen is still magnanimous! The Queen is right. As long as the ancestors don't break the rules, some of the younger generations have great fortunes, so it's okay for us to give way a little. Everyone doesn't have to think too much, the real opponent is actually beside us. Hongtian, you woke everyone up at this time, are you trying to set a rule?"

From what this person said, the woman who just spoke was actually the queen of the mermaids!

"I'm not as optimistic as you two!"

The sharp voice was still firm, "Not everyone can consider the overall situation! Some people are ancestors in name, but they have been away from the world for too long. They are high above and do whatever they want. We must be on guard!"

"That's right, chance is exciting! This is the biggest chance we have since our breakthrough, and it may even be the biggest chance in this life, so we should be cautious," someone else agreed, "In that case, why not wait a little longer and see how those youngsters perform? If anyone has ill intentions, they will surely reveal clues later. Those old guys can't interfere with the outside world now, and the situation is still under our control."

"Hongtian, you are a little impatient," someone said dissatisfiedly.

Hong Tian did not take it as an offense, and spread his hands and said: "I come from a humble family, I am alone and helpless, how can I not be anxious? If we don't come up with a set of rules as soon as possible, even if those old guys don't interfere, what if after the matter is over, someone is a step behind but refuses to admit it and uses his power to suppress others, what will happen?"

"Hongtian, you are indeed too anxious!"

The bold voice from before said coldly, "The difference between tribes is only in the sea of ​​fog. Above the holy land, there will always be only one alien race. This is the ancestral precept!"

The queen of the merman tribe said calmly: "Who can tell which side the power is on? The Zhu Huai tribe may not have ancestors in the ancestral realm. Maybe we all have to look at your face, Hongtian."

"Oh?" Hong Tian grinned, "Thanks to the Queen's words, I will definitely keep my promise when the time comes." (End of this chapter)
