Chapter 1521  Nine Nether Clone

To be honest, the white-haired old man didn't say anything wrong...

Looking at the age of the white-haired old man, he is probably two or three hundred years old, and is naturally much older than Xiao Mian.

But in the cultivation world where cultivation is supreme, age is nothing!

For a small foundation-building cultivator like him, when he sees Xiao Mian, a Yuanying ancestor, calling him senior and calling himself old is not wrong.

However, Xiao Mian always feels that something is wrong.

"Old man! I am Xiao Mian, a disciple of Bibotan of the Five Elements Sect. Several decades ago, I followed my master to the cemetery to worship the Five Spirits Patriarch. Do you have any impression of me?"

"You are the third disciple of Leng Shouzuo, right? I have some impression..."

"Please give me some advice: how to worship the ancestor?"

"You want to worship the founder of the Five Elements Sect?"

"Yes!"

"The ancestor's tomb is there, just go there!" At this point, the white-haired old man made a gesture to leave, and said to himself: "Power cannot be used up, blessings cannot be enjoyed to the fullest, advantages cannot be taken to the fullest, and intelligence cannot be used to the fullest, and there will be encounters in the mountains and rivers!"

After speaking, the white-haired old man gradually walked away...

Hearing this, Xiao Mian stopped the urge to continue asking questions.

The white-haired old man clearly meant something else.

Is this four inexhaustible mantra warning himself?

No matter how you look at it, this person doesn't look like an ordinary foundation-building cultivator!

That's right!

Decades ago, when Xiao Mian saw this white-haired old man, he had such cultivation and such appearance. Decades later, he saw him again, and there was no change at all.

If it was a Tianzun realm strongman like Wan Zongsheng, it would be understandable.

But for a foundation-building cultivator, this is unlikely.

A foundation-building cultivator, at most, has a lifespan of 300 years. If you add in all kinds of losses, a foundation-building cultivator's lifespan is less than 300 years.

Decades ago, this white-haired old man was dying.

Decades later, although he was still dying, he did not look old.

For a foundation-building cultivator, this can no longer be guessed by common sense.

Something is out of the ordinary - there must be something wrong!

This white-haired old man is definitely not simple!

Who would have thought that there is such a hermit hidden in the Five Elements Sect?

But since he has been hiding in the Five Elements Sect for decades, and has not made any moves before, it is expected that there will be no moths in the short term.

The most urgent task is to fulfill the last wish of Master Wu Xing as soon as possible.

With this in mind, Xiao Mian followed the high tomb and walked again.

This time, it was smooth sailing.

In less than half a minute, Xiao Mian found the empty tomb of Master Wu Xing.

Looking up, the empty tomb was no different from ordinary tombs.

The only unique thing was probably that piece of stone—the wordless stele!

In front of the tomb, on the huge tombstone, there was no word!

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Mian followed the instructions of Master Wu Xing in advance, went around the wordless stele, put his hand on the tombstone, and activated the "Five Elements Qi Transformation Art"!

The next moment, the five qi were dense, and the five colors were lingering...

Silently, the originally closed tomb opened.

Looking at the dark tomb passage, Xiao Mian dodged and rushed into it.

He didn't believe that Xiao Wu Xing would come to harm him!

At the end of the tomb passage, there is a tomb chamber with a coffin in the middle. Of course, just like this empty tomb, there is nothing in the coffin.

According to the instructions of the Wuxing Patriarch, Xiao Mian took out the Fengshen Coffin.

Putting the remains of the Patriarch in this coffin is the purpose of Xiao Mian's trip.

Speaking of it, it is extremely simple, but it is Xiao Wuxing's last wish...

Fallen leaves return to their roots!

Before Xiao Mian opened the Fengshen Coffin, the Fengshen Coffin opened by itself.

The Wuxing Patriarch sat up.

Besides, the Wuxing Patriarch who appeared in the Fengshen Coffin at this time, although not rosy-cheeked, at least he was full of energy. How could he look like a dying person?

"Ancestor! You..."

"No need to say! I've made up my mind!" Xiao Wuxing interrupted Xiao Mian's words and said to himself: "In my current state, I do have some fighting power. Even if I face a strong man in the Tianzun realm, I am not without the power to fight. But! This era is your era. How to protect this era depends on you!"

"..., I understand!"

The fighting power of the Wuxing Patriarch is unquestionable.

Even if he is a living dead, as long as he is in the coffin of the Conferred God, the Wuxing Patriarch will be safe and sound, and the fighting power he exerts is absolutely unrivaled in the world.

But Xiao Wuxing has said all here, what else can Xiao Mian say?

This is their era, and they need to protect it themselves!

Otherwise, this era will have no value to continue to exist!

Obviously, the Wuxing Patriarch has made up his mind to die!

Perhaps for him, death is not the end, but the beginning.

"Your name is Xiao Mian? Come closer and listen to me in detail..."

Interrupting Xiao Mian's reverie, the Wuxing Patriarch spoke freely.

With the current condition of Patriarch Wu Xing, it would be useless to just move him out of the coffin and into the empty coffin.

Patriarch Wu Xing asked Xiao Mian to move his body into the empty coffin, and then take his soul deep into a secret place and send it to the underworld.

Only in this way, can he, Xiao Wu Xing, be reborn!

Following Patriarch Wu Xing's instructions, Xiao Mian first moved Patriarch Wu Xing's body from the coffin to the empty coffin, and then removed the soul-suppressing poison from Patriarch Wu Xing, and put his soul into the fairy stone space. According to Patriarch Wu Xing's instructions, Xiao Mian even found a secret passage in the tomb.

Following this passage, Xiao Mian disappeared into the tomb...

This passage went straight down.

At first, Xiao Mian was still calm.

But gradually, after a quarter of an hour, the passage still hadn't reached its end.

With Xiao Mian's current speed, a quarter of an hour was enough to travel thousands of miles in an instant.

A distance of thousands of miles might not be noticeable on flat ground, but when it was vertically erected, the distance of thousands of miles was enough to break through the surface and penetrate the earth.

Could it be that this tunnel runs through the entire Five Elements Mountain Range?

Could it be that before the ancient times, Xiao Wuxing had already expected today's changes, and that there would be a variable like himself?

Thinking deeper, could it be that everything before was deliberately done by the other party?

It shouldn't be!

Xiao Wuxing's words and deeds were clearly a temporary impulse, intending to return to his roots.

In this way, this secret passage must have other uses!

Just as Xiao Mian was thinking this, the passage that had been endless came to an abrupt end.

At the end of the passage, there was a quiet and empty place.

Xiao Mian looked around, and there was nothing around.

Only the exit of the passage above his head indicated where Xiao Mian came from...

Could it be that this is the secret realm that Grandmaster Wu Xing mentioned?

Thinking of this, Xiao Mian was about to release Grandmaster Wu Xing's soul from the fairy stone space, but suddenly his heart skipped a beat and his expression changed.

The next moment, Xiao Mian performed the shadowless escape and disappeared into the invisible.

Immediately afterwards, a faint divine sense swept through the place where Xiao Mian had been hiding before, and after a short pause, it noticed the passage above.

Fortunately, Xiao Mian's shadowless escape was already perfect, and thanks to the unpredictable divine mirror, the divine sense, although close at hand, did not find Xiao Mian's whereabouts.

However, Xiao Mian at this time also knew his own suffering.

The divine sense came very suddenly.

Xiao Mian's ability to foresee and perceive was all due to his spiritual sense as a body cultivator.

Just like Hu Sheng realized the consciousness after entering the Sea Breaking Realm, Xiao Mian realized the higher level of consciousness after entering the Sky Breaking Realm - the heart consciousness!

Eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind are collectively called the six roots, which are the extension of the heart.

Heart consciousness is a more metaphysical existence than the six roots.

Only after Xiao Mian realized the heart consciousness can he completely control his body, exert the most powerful power, and avoid harm and turn danger into good fortune.

This matter is mysterious, but it saved Xiao Mian's life...

However, although Xiao Mian did not have direct contact with the other party, under the dual protection of the Shadowless Escape and the Divine Mirror, the consciousness still seemed to be aware of something. This alone is enough to show that the owner of the consciousness is definitely not an ordinary Yuanying ancestor!

The biggest possibility is that it is a Tianzun Realm powerhouse!

Damn it!

Who could it be?

Although the Shadowless Escape and the Divine Mirror allowed Xiao Mian to temporarily escape the detection of the consciousness, it is obvious that the passage above Xiao Mian's head attracted the attention of the consciousness.

Sure enough, after just a moment, a shadow broke through the air.

A gust of cold wind passed by, and the shadow suddenly appeared below the passage.

The shadow was looming, seemingly real and fake, and could not be seen clearly, but the fluctuations emitted by the shadow were the realm of a high-level Yuanying cultivator.

Seeing this, Xiao Mian, who was hiding on the side, breathed a sigh of relief.

If it was just a high-level Yuanying cultivator, Xiao Mian would be frightened, but not afraid.

At most, he would just pat his butt and leave...

However, this place is the hinterland of his own sect after all, how could there be such a strong man?

Suppressing the panic in his heart, Xiao Mian planned to wait and see.

In this way, Xiao Mian looked at the shadow, and the shadow looked at the passage.

After a long time, the shadow seemed to be unable to bear it.

A clone appeared in the shadow, shaped like a branch and an arm, tentatively touching the passage above his head.

Before the clone touched the passage, the shadow screamed and fled.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Mian was confused, but relieved.

Although he was not afraid of the mysterious shadow, it would be best if he could avoid it. After all, Xiao Mian didn't even know where the shadow came from.

It seems that the roots of the Five Elements Sect are very secretive!

Thinking of this, although he knew that the shadow was not trivial, it was related to the safety of the Five Elements Sect, so Xiao Mian decided to follow the shadow and find out.

At worst, it was impossible to do anything and just leave...

But Xiao Mian didn't expect that this time it was dangerous, and he almost couldn't escape it!

With the help of the Spirit-Seeing Eye, Xiao Mian followed the direction of the shadow's escape and tracked it down - to be on the safe side, Xiao Mian's speed was not fast.

He wanted to see: what kind of thing was playing tricks under the Five Elements Sect!

Besides, the surrounding space was empty.

If there were no deadly swallowing like Lingxu in the space, this space could be compared with the original Lingxu space.

Thanks to the help of the Spirit-Seeing Eye, Xiao Mian could follow step by step.

Gradually, a sound of water flow came from the front...

Xiao Mian's face was lifted, and he became more cautious.

After bypassing a fault in front, the scenery in front of Xiao Mian changed.

Even Xiao Mian was shocked when he saw the scene in front of him.

In the void in front, there was a huge vortex slowly rotating. Apart from it, there was nothing else, but the size of this vortex was earth-shaking!

According to Xiao Mian's visual estimation, the diameter of this vortex should be thousands of miles away!

Thousands of miles away!

Suddenly, Xiao Mian remembered the Yin-Yang channel that appeared in the East China Sea...

His mind trembled, and his eyes trembled.

Yin Yang Channel!

This huge vortex is a Yin Yang Channel that is opening!

Are you kidding me! ?

There is such a shocking change under the Five Elements Sect's headquarters?

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, even Xiao Mian would never believe this statement.

What should we do now?

Should we retreat quietly and make long-term plans?

Or should we wait and see and wait for an opportunity to act?

Before Xiao Mian could come up with a decision, a shadow broke through the air.

Fortunately, Xiao Mian had already comprehended the mystery of the mind and hid his body first.

Looking at the place where the shadow came from, it was completely opposite to where Xiao Mian was. What moved Xiao Mian even more was that through the subtle identification of the Spirit Eye, Xiao Mian found that this shadow was similar to the one he encountered before, but it was definitely not the same.

In other words, there are more than one similar shadows in this mysterious space!

Under Xiao Mian's gaze, the shadow fell into the vortex.

The vortex slowly rotated, and the shadow disappeared completely...

As soon as he thought about it, Xiao Mian had some guesses.

Let's put aside this huge vortex and talk about those shadows.

Looking at the shape of the shadow, it doesn't look like an ordinary cultivator, but a little like the shadow servant that appeared in the Demon Shadow Sect, as if it is a clone technique.

This explains the phenomenon that there is more than one shadow.

But if a clone can have the cultivation of a high-level Yuanying cultivator, then what realm should the original person be at?

Thinking of the divine consciousness that had scanned him before, Xiao Mian was shocked.

Tianzun!

If these shadows are really clones, the original behind the scenes must be Tianzun!

Only the strongest person in the realm of Tianzun has such background and strength!

Thinking of the huge vortex again, the identity of the Tianzun is about to be revealed-the giant of the ghost way before the ancient times-Xia Jiuyou, the Nine Nether Emperor!

Unexpectedly, this eternal ghost hero is still lingering!

Thinking of this, Xiao Mian was shocked and secretly delighted...

What shocked him was Xia Jiuyou's amazing means, but what delighted him was that through Xia Jiuyou, Xiao Mian might be able to track down some clues about Fu Qingqiong.

If he was lucky, he might be able to rescue Fu Qingqiong!

Thinking of this, Xiao Mian made a decision - to stay put!

He wanted to see: What on earth was Xia Jiuyou doing! ?

After that, one after another, several more shadows gathered from all directions, plunged into the vortex, and disappeared.

At this point, Xiao Mian could almost determine a fact.

Although Xia Jiuyou had extended his tentacles to this mysterious space, it seemed that for some reason, Xia Jiuyou himself had not entered this place.

Out of prudence or other considerations, Xia Jiuyou sent several clones to sneak into this place and explore around, as a forward post.

It was for this reason that the previous shadow wanted to test that passage.

It was unknown what kind of restrictions were placed on that passage. Xiao Mian was unaware of it, but the ghost in the high-level Nascent Soul realm seemed to have suffered a great blow.

Besides, there were eight ghosts in total.

If the ghost that Xiao Mian saw for the first time was counted, there were nine.

Nine was the maximum number, and Xia Jiuyou called himself the Nine Nether Emperor.

I think the total number of Xia Jiuyou's clones was nine.

Even so, it was shocking - after all, each of these nine ghost clones was a high-level Nascent Soul cultivator.

In other words, Xia Jiuyou's own strength was enough to fight against the entire Nanyue State!

Xiao Mian, who came to this conclusion, did not dare to be careless at all.

Since the nine clones had returned, Xia Jiuyou must have known the situation of this mysterious space.

I'm afraid that next, it would be the Nine Nether Emperor's debut!

If the previous divine sense was from Xia Jiuyou himself, then through the previous test, Xiao Mian confirmed that he could avoid Xia Jiuyou's detection.

This is because Xiao Mian has already condensed his Nascent Soul. Otherwise, even if Xiao Mian is given more courage, he would not dare to play tricks with Xia Jiuyou, the ghost overlord.

Now, let's see what Xia Jiuyou does...

Xiao Mian, who made up his mind, did not wait for a long time.

In just a moment, the vortex that was originally rotating slowly turned faster and faster, and the huge vortex with a diameter of a thousand miles became three times larger.

Faintly, it seems to be getting bigger and bigger...

Although Xiao Mian was shocked, he did not dare to show it.

The changes here are definitely not something that he, a small Nascent Soul cultivator, can change.

In this case, it is better to watch from the sidelines.

In just a moment, a figure slowly rose from the vortex.

Xiao Mian, who had always been bold and daring, was like a rat crossing the street at this moment. He didn't even dare to look at the man. He hurriedly closed his eyes, his eyes looking at his nose, and his nose looking at his heart.

Heart, like still water.

Xiao Mian forced himself to become nothingness and stay out of it.

Only in this way could he avoid Xia Jiuyou's spiritual perception.

Xia Jiuyou!

The person who was slowly rising from the vortex was Xia Jiuyou, the Nine Nether Emperor!
