Chapter 1706 Challenging the Ghost Saint
Riding the celestial magnetic shuttle, Xiao Mian and Gui Hai traveled across Xishuzhou.
Target - Netherworld!
Seeing the Netherworld right in front of him, Gui Hai felt a little uneasy.
"Brother! You said that the old immortal Ghost Saint has improper thoughts about Zhu Yan?"
"Brother! When have I ever lied to you?"
"But..."
"Sister Zhu Yan - even the four holy ladies, Black, White, Zhu and Green, exist for the purpose of replacing the Ghost Mother one day! Now that Black Evil Lady and White Bone Lady have died one after another, Green Soul Lady, as a soul cultivator, has no entity. Only Sister Zhu Yan cultivates the Heavenly Corpse Way and is protected by the Dharma. After the Ghost Mother dies, Sister Zhu Yan must be the best candidate to hold real power in the Netherworld Ghost Realm!"
"But this does not mean that the Ghost Saint is interested in Zhu Yan!"
"Brother! Don't you understand yet? Ghost cultivators, in theory, have no lifespan limit, but the way of heaven is clear, how can it let fish slip through the net? Therefore, every certain number of years, ghost cultivators have to endure a heavenly tribulation, and as time goes by, the heavenly tribulation will become stronger and stronger. One day, the ghost cultivator will be wiped out! However, the practice of the Ghost Saint is not ordinary, It is the "Nine-turn Ghost Saint Art"!"
"The "Nine-turn Ghost Saint Art" will be forcibly reincarnated and re-cultivated every thousand years. After another thousand years, the Ghost Saint can recover to the realm of the Heavenly Venerable!"
"That's right! The Ghost Saint who appeared in front of the world this time is the fourth-turn Ghost Saint. According to his life span, six hundred years later, it will be the fifth turn!"
"Brother! What do you want to say?"
"The "Nine-turn Ghost Saint Art" has the same effect with each upgrade, but the danger is greater. It is still unknown whether the Ghost Saint Xu Wan can successfully turn five times! I'm afraid he doesn't have much hope, so he carefully cultivated Zhu Yanji! The purpose is that one day, with the help of dual cultivation with the Heavenly Corpse Righteous Dao, he can break through the bottleneck!"
"This... Does he dare! ?"
"Brother! It's not a question of whether he dares or not, but whether he wants to! !"
"Brother! I'm stupid and don't know what to do! You always have many ways. You say-what should I do? I'll listen to you!"
"..."
Xiao Mian was silent for a moment.
"Brother! Won't you help me find a solution?"
"How could that be? There are ways to make Ghost Saint give up dual cultivation with Sister Zhu Yan. The simplest way is to kill Ghost Saint!"
"Isn't this... not good?"
"Of course it's not good! Even if you and I work together, even if we can kill him, the entire Netherworld Ghost Realm will surely rebel, and Xishuzhou will surely be in chaos."
"Yes! Yes! Yes! This is not good! Is there any other way?"
"Dual cultivation is the most important thing for the first time! Since you miss Sister Zhu Yan so much, why don't you two make it a done deal and let Ghost Saint sigh?"
"This... this is not good either? I am a Buddhist monk and Dharma protector, how can I break the taboo of lust? What? Besides, Zhu Yan is so fierce..."
"Brother! This doesn't work, and that doesn't work either. What do you think?"
"I...you think of another way! The best of both worlds!"
"The best of both worlds? It's not impossible! For example, let Ghost Saint get hurt and force him to enter reincarnation early. Although Sister Zhu Yan has broken through to the top level of Nascent Soul, as long as she doesn't become a Heavenly Venerable, the effect of Ghost Saint and her dual cultivation will be greatly reduced."
"This is a good idea!" Gui Hai was shocked when he heard this, and suddenly said to himself: "What if the old ghost is hungry and eats anything?"
"This..." It was Xiao Mian, who was stunned when he heard this. He really didn't expect this. The so-called concern makes people confused, which made Gui Hai open up. Taking a deep breath, Xiao Mian said: "Don't worry, big brother! Once the Ghost Saint is injured, I will send Sister Zhu Yan away!"
"Okay! Let's do it!"
"Big brother! What are you going to do?"
"What to do? Beat him up!"
While he was speaking, the Celestial Star Earth Magnetic Shuttle had already reached the Netherworld Ghost Domain. Gui Hai rushed out of the Celestial Star Earth Magnetic Shuttle and challenged the Ghost Saint Xu Wan right in front of the Netherworld Ghost Domain.
Xiao Mian, walking out of the Celestial Star Earth Magnetic Shuttle, sighed...
Big brother!
Today, I, Xiao Mian, will let you down!
If you blame me in the future, I must do the same!
I don't want to say it's for the world, I just hope you - take care!
Xiao Mian was looking at Gui Hai's back with a complicated expression. The Netherworld Ghost Domain had been alarmed by Gui Hai, and a team of Yuanying ancestors rushed out of the Netherworld Ghost Domain.
The first four people were the new generation of the Four Saints - Feng Hua Xue Yue!
When they first saw Gui Hai, the four looked at each other, not in fear, but in joking.
In the past, Gui Hai would go to the Netherworld Ghost Realm for no reason, just to challenge Zhu Yanji, but every time, he would flee in panic.
They thought Gui Hai was itching, but who knew that Gui Hai was itching in his heart.
Since the first time they met in Xishuzhou, Gui Hai fell in love with Zhu Yanji at first sight. After a hundred years of separation and reunion, there was always a trace of affection between the two.
Due to his face, Gui Hai did not dare to take the initiative to break the last layer of window paper.
Now, when he heard that the Ghost Saint might appoint Zhu Yanji as the new Ghost Mother, Gui Hai was anxious - how could he let his sweetheart become the cauldron of the Ghost Saint's dual cultivation?
Under Xiao Mian's persuasion, Gui Hai decided to challenge the Ghost Saint.
Besides, Gui Hai is now ranked as the Demon Lord, enough to rival the Heavenly Lord.
Xiao Mian dared to use the provocation method, otherwise he would not dare - he would rather do it himself, and he would not let Gui Hai take the lead.
Let's talk about Gui Hai. When he saw the four saints looking at him with a joking look, he was also surprised to find Xiao Mian right behind him. He felt that he had lost face and wanted to establish his power.
"Humph! You dare to laugh at your Buddha, you evil spirits?"
With a cold snort, Gui Hai suddenly turned into a dragon and rushed towards the four holy maidens.
Although the four holy maidens were all Yuanying ancestors, they had advanced to the middle stage of Yuanying after receiving the Hunyuan Golden Liquid given by Xiao Mian.
But even if the four of them joined forces, they did not dare to block Gui Hai's attack of turning into a dragon.
At that moment, the four holy maidens were terrified.
Hearing the exclamation that was familiar even though he was dead, Xiao Mian sighed.
With a wave of his hand without leaving a trace, the magic weapon Tai Chi turned into a large and thin round shield, protecting the four holy maidens and blocking Gui Hai's attack of turning into a dragon.
"Brother! Why do you have to make things difficult for these juniors?" Xiao Mian said this, and a cold shout came from the Netherworld Ghost Domain: "Hmph! Gui Hai! You are really going backwards as you live! Relying on the realm of demon lord, are you bullying the juniors of my Netherworld Ghost Domain?"
As soon as the words were spoken, a red dress appeared in front of him, and it was Zhu Yanji.
Seeing Xiao Mian and Gui Hai coming together, Zhu Yanji was stunned, but she still stared at the black dragon transformed by Gui Hai, and was furious.
This big fool, who became a demon lord, still knows how to stir up trouble!
Zhu Yanji didn't expect that Gui Hai was stirring up trouble today!
"What are you doing here again? Didn't we fight enough last time?"
"I... I... I just came to see you!"
"See a ghost?"
"Aren't you a ghost..."
"I! That's enough! I've seen it, let's go back!" Zhu Yanji waved at Gui Hai impatiently. Gui Hai's huge dragon head paused slightly, and he wanted to retreat, but it was Xiao Mian, who didn't know whether to laugh or cry and interrupted: "Sister Zhu Yan! My brother and I are here to pay a visit to Senior Xu, the Ghost Saint!"
"Yes! That's right! I'm here to challenge Old Ghost Xu!"
Suddenly remembering the purpose of this trip, Gui Hai refused to retreat.
"Hey! Are you rebelling? Dare to be rude to Senior Ghost Saint? Do you believe I will beat you? Get out of here as far as you can! Otherwise..."
"What else? My elder brother is a Buddhist monk and Dharma protector. Now the whole West Shuzhou is in chaos because of your Netherworld Ghost Domain. Following the order of the Saint Monk Kasyapa, my elder brother is sent to clear the evil spirits and restore peace to the world, so he wants to challenge the Ghost Saint!"
"Challenge the Ghost Saint?" Zhu Yanji was shocked when she heard it. She stared at Xiao Mian and asked coldly: "Xiao Mian! Are you fooling around with him?"
"What you said, elder sister, this is the order of the Saint Monk, how can it be said to be fooling around?"
"Bah! If you want to challenge the Ghost Saint, you have to get past me first!"
"In that case, let me try your Heavenly Corpse Righteousness!"
After saying this, Xiao Mian waved his hand and pulled Zhu Yanji over - poor Zhu Yanji, a top-level Nascent Soul cultivator, had no power to resist.
The next moment, Xiao Mian and Zhu Yanji appeared in the fairy stone space.
"Xiao Mian! Are you crazy? You know Gui Hai's stubborn temper. If he said he wanted to challenge the Ghost Saint, he would definitely take action. If I were here..."
"If you were here, he wouldn't be able to challenge the Ghost Saint!"
"Yes! Then why don't you let me go..." Halfway through the words, Zhu Yanji's expression changed, her mind was confused, and she said timidly: "Is it you?"
"..."
"The one who instigated Gui Hai to jump out and challenge the Ghost Saint was not the Holy Monk Jiaye, but you - Nanyue Xiao Mian! What do you want to do?"
"I want him to challenge the Ghost Saint Xu Wan!"
"You! But why? Why do you do this?"
"Because the existence of the Ghost Saint hinders my plan!" Xiao Mian, without any reservation, told it directly. Zhu Yanji was stunned when she heard this, and then asked back: "Your plan? What is your plan? Do you want to dominate Xishuzhou?"
"No! My plan is - peace in the world!"
"What a mess? Although my Netherworld Ghost Domain swept across Xishuzhou, that was an agreement between the Saint Monk Kasyapa and the Ghost Saint Senior. When the time is right, the ghosts of my Xishuzhou will naturally retreat to the Netherworld Ghost Domain, and the Buddhist sect will regain control of Xishuzhou."
"I don't care about your plan, but there are too many variables, so I have to care! What I want is absolute peace in the world - not allowed There is no mistake at all!"
"Xiao Mian! Are you crazy? What is absolute peace in the world? Just say you want to dominate the world and be the master of the five states and four seas, isn't that enough?"
"If you want to think so, it's not impossible!"
"You!"
"I want this world, and I will change the world with my heart! I want to create an absolutely peaceful cultivation world, and I want this cultivation world to return to the spirit world in an unprecedented manner. I want to go against the will of heaven and reach the spirit world!"
"..."
Zhu Yanji, looking at Xiao Mian in front of her, could not speak.
This kid is really crazy!
At the same time, Zhu Yanji was also worried, worried about Gui Hai and Gui Sheng-two tigers fighting, one must be injured, and if things go wrong, both will be injured!
At this time, the Netherworld Ghost Domain is facing a great enemy.
Zhu Yanji was taken into the fairy stone space by Xiao Mian. In the huge Netherworld Ghost Domain, no one can stop Gui Hai from challenging the Ghost Sheng Xu Wan.
Even Bi Hunji, who came after hearing the news, can't do it!
Holding the seven-stringed Jingshenqin, Bi Hun Ji played a song "The Rising Tide of the Blue Sea", but could not resist Gui Hai's dragon roar. The sound of the qin was broken when the dragon roar passed.
Bi Hun Ji's face was pale and her body was shaking. It was obvious that she was seriously injured.
"Humph! For the sake of you two sisters relying on each other, I won't kill you! Hurry back and call Ghost Saint Xu Wan. Today, I want to fight him!"
Just as Gui Hai said this, a black shadow rushed out of the Netherworld Ghost Domain.
It was the Lord of the Netherworld Ghost Domain - the Heavenly Master - Ghost Saint Xu Wan!
After sending away Bihun Ji and the four holy ladies, Ghost Saint Xu Wan stared at Gui Hai with an uncertain expression. Could it be that this reckless man came here to cheat Kasyapa?
Just as Zhu Yan Ji said, the little monk and Ghost Saint Xu Wan had an agreement long ago.
Using the end of the Dharma era as an excuse, the little monk gathered the strength of the Buddhist sect in Xishuzhou near Shishahai and handed over the great Xishuzhou to the netherworld ghost domain.
In this way, the Buddhist sect could not protect itself in Xishuzhou, and it could justifiably turn a blind eye to the orders of Dutian Peak.
Besides, the ghost way is originally an evil way of demons and does not get along with Dutian Peak.
The situation of ghosts flourishing and Buddhism declining makes it impossible for Dutian Peak to attack Xishuzhou.
The last time Xiao Mian led the Northern Expedition, the ghost mother felt that her life was coming to an end, so she did not hesitate to die with the enemy and fell in front of Dutian Peak.
Could it be that the little bald donkey realized that the time was ripe and wanted to take back Xishuzhou?
Just as Ghost Saint Xu Wan was thinking this, Gui Hai saw the Lord and rushed up.
He didn't care about the secret agreement between Saint Kasyapa and Ghost Saint Xu Wan!
As long as Ghost Saint Xu Wan was injured and forced to enter the reincarnation period in advance, Zhu Yanji would not have to be the cauldron of Ghost Saint Xu Wan's dual cultivation.
For this, Gui Hai-fight to the death!
Besides, the current Ghost Saint has grown taller because of the passing of years, and looks like a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy.
Facing Gui Hai's powerful offensive, Ghost Saint did not dare to take it lightly.
Gui Hai is not only the guardian of Saint Kasyapa, but also Xiao Mian's brother. If Gui Hai gets into trouble, Xiao Mian will be more difficult to deal with than Kasyapa.
How could Ghost Saint know: Today's battle was instigated by Xiao Mian?
Moreover, the sudden turn of the battle situation soon made Ghost Saint dare not think about it anymore: Gui Hai, who has achieved the demon lord, definitely has the strength to kill Ghost Saint!
Just like that, in front of the Netherworld, Gui Hai and Gui Sheng fought fiercely.
One turned into a pitch-black black dragon, and the other summoned the throne of the spirit platform.
The black dragon was agile and transformed into a knife. The God of Killing slashed with one knife and died with the enemy!
Facing Gui Hai's knife that would kill both of them, Gui Sheng's face changed drastically. He sat firmly on the Nine Netherworld Wheel of the throne of the spirit platform, and supported a layer of Netherworld ghost energy.
The Netherworld ghost energy comes from the Netherworld, and no living creature can get close to it.
If Gui Hai continued to kill with this knife, while rushing into the Netherworld ghost energy, Gui Hai's body would also be eroded by the Netherworld ghost energy, causing his vitality to be greatly weakened.
If Gui Hai hesitated, he would not only suffer the backlash of the God of Killing's knife, but the Ghost Saint would also take action at the right time to severely injure Gui Hai.
Of course, the Ghost Saint had already thought about it, and he would spare Gui Hai's life!
Even if it was not for Jiaye's face, it had to be for Xiao Mian's face.
What a pity!
The good intentions of the Ghost Saint were wasted...
Facing the dark ghost energy on the Nine Netherworld Wheel, Gui Hai did not dodge or evade, and the Killing God slashed at him slowly and rushed straight at him.
The dark ghost energy of the Netherworld continued to penetrate from the dragon scales of the Mo Dragon, depriving Gui Hai of his vitality. If he were an ordinary human cultivator, he would have died long ago. Fortunately, Gui Hai was already a demon transformed from Mo Pan, and his vitality was far superior to that of human cultivators. This is why he could hold on and pass the blade of the Killing God's slash to the Ghost Saint.
The blade was not close, but the sword intent was added.
The Ghost Saint Xu Wan, a powerful Tianzun, did not dare to move lightly at that moment.
Of course, the Ghost Saint did not dare to let the Killing God hit him with a slash. If that happened, even the Ghost Saint Xu Wan would be dead!
The Killing God dared to kill even gods with a slash, let alone a mere ghost?
In a hurry, the Ghost Saint condensed a divine object - the Heart of Yin and Yang!
A fist-sized black and white stone appeared in front of the Ghost Saint and also in front of the Killing God Yidaozhan. As they passed by, the stone was split into two.
The Ghost Saint's face changed greatly - the broken divine object meant that he could not become a Heavenly Venerable!
With a wave of his hands, the Ghost Saint did not care about counterattacking Gui Hai, and only had time to take back the two pieces of separated stone. He glared at Gui Hai who was close at hand. The Ghost Saint drove the Nine Netherworld Wheel and escaped into the Netherworld Ghost Realm. He had to retreat and heal his wounds as soon as possible.
If possible, perhaps the two halves of the divine object could be reconciled.
But how could outsiders know the hardships and risks involved?
Damn it!
Gui Hai - Jiaye!
If you can escape this disaster this time, I will make you pay the price!
Poor Ghost Saint was calculated, the divine object was abolished, and it was still unknown who was playing tricks.
At this time, the trickster was in the Immortal Stone Space.
Zhu Yanji was also there, but Zhu Yanji knew that she was no match for Xiao Mian, so she just waited quietly and had no intention of fighting with Xiao Mian.
Suddenly, Xiao Mian's expression changed slightly.
The next moment, Xiao Mian jumped out of the fairy stone space.
Ghost Saint Xu Wan had already been defeated, and the God of Killing Gui Hai was about to die!
Is it so easy to absorb the ghost energy of the underworld?
This is thanks to Gui Hai being a demon transformed by Mo Pan, whose vitality is much stronger than that of ordinary humans. He has absorbed so much ghost energy of the underworld and has not died directly.
However, Gui Hai's vitality is already very little!
After a little thought, Xiao Mian figured out the key...
Damn it!
I didn't expect that the ghost saint Xu Wan actually kept such a killer!
The ghost energy of the underworld can be said to be the mortal enemy of all living things. It is because Gui Hai was so bloodthirsty that he ignored his own life and death, so he ignored the ghost energy of the underworld.
Of course, it is precisely because of this that Gui Hai was able to severely injure the Ghost Saint.
The ghost energy of the netherworld is more of a deterrent. If someone is as desperate as Gui Hai, the Ghost Saint Xu Wan can only wish for the best...
After blaming himself, Xiao Mian just wanted to save Gui Hai, but the Buddha's light appeared. The holy monk Jiaye, who was supposed to be in charge of the Ten Chasma Sea, suddenly appeared with a solemn look.
Without even looking at Xiao Mian, the little monk cast a layer of Buddha's light and shot it towards Gui Hai.
As the Buddha's light passed, the ghost energy on Gui Hai's body was gradually neutralized, but those Buddha's lights could only wander on Gui Hai's body, but could not penetrate deep into it.
Gui Hai's body had been eroded by the ghost energy of the underworld, and it was difficult to reverse the situation!
After exhaling a breath of turbid air, the little monk looked at Xiao Mian.
"Tell me! Mr. Xiao! How do you explain what happened today?"
"... It's just cause and effect!" Facing the serious little monk, Xiao Mian said to himself: "Today's result is the cause of the day; today's cause is the result of tomorrow's result - I am just a small opportunity in the law of cause and effect!"
If there is no cause, there will be no result; if there is no opportunity, there will be no result.
If there is no opportunity, there will be no cause and effect!
