Chapter 1795 The Desert of Hidden Spirits
After a fruitless discussion, Xiao Mian planned to try to break into the second layer of space again.
This time, the three of them learned their lesson. Instead of acting collectively, they split into four groups.
Xiao Mian, the Golden War Spirit, and the Starry Sky Lord acted alone. The Titan mecha connected to the spaceship split into four groups under the control of the Nine-Evolution Heavenly Map.
The three of them, along with a mecha, split into four directions and broke into the second layer of space.
As for Xiao Mian, as soon as he entered the second layer of space, he fell into the encirclement of a group of Xia Jiuyou. Obviously, Xia Jiuyou had absolute control over the second layer of space. The yellow sand in the sky was the inspiration and touch of Xia Jiuyou, which was everywhere.
Fortunately, Xia Jiuyou seemed to be far away from here. The yellow sand clones surrounding Xiao Mian were just in the early stage of forming a pill, and Xiao Mian was too lazy to do it himself.
The six incarnations came out together and killed a bloody way among the thousands of yellow sand clones.
The yellow sand clones that looked like Xia Jiuyou were destroyed, but they were just flying sand and dissipated between heaven and earth, leaving Xia Jiuyou unscathed.
Even for the sand in the second space, which was as numerous as the grains of sand in the Ganges River, the yellow sand clones destroyed by Xiao Mian's six incarnations were just a drop in the bucket.
In fact, they were not even a drop in the bucket!
There were too many grains of sand in the second space - there was no upper limit!
Just as Xiao Mian was thinking this, the cultivation of the yellow sand incarnations that gathered from all directions increased rapidly, from the initial stage of Jindan to the middle stage of Jindan, the high stage of Jindan, the top stage of Jindan...
Finally, under a terrifying pressure, the yellow sand clones entered the Nascent Soul stage.
This means: Xia Jiuyou's real body has come here in person!
With a wave of his sleeves, Xiao Mian put away his six incarnations. Although his six incarnations had already cultivated to the top level of the Nascent Soul, in front of Xia Jiuyou, who had already transformed into a god, not to mention the six incarnations, even Xiao Mian himself was not good enough, so it was better to run away.
Therefore, when Xia Jiuyou appeared, Xiao Mian slipped away...
There were yellow sands all over the sky, and there were billions of incarnations, but there could only be one Xia Jiuyou!
Since Xia Jiuyou appeared here with Xiao Mian, it means that the Golden War Spirit, Xingxiu Tianzun, and even the Titan Mecha controlled by Jiuyan Tiantu have gained the initiative.
For Xiao Mian, he does not seek merit, but only seeks to avoid mistakes.
As long as Xiao Mian can ensure his own safety, Xingxiu Tianzun and others will bring back detailed information about the second layer of space for everyone to break through.
Besides, although the Qijue Mountain is full of murderous intent, it is not completely useless.
As soon as Xiao Mian exited the second layer of space, the mysterious halo came into being, blocking Xiao Mian's sight and Xia Jiuyou's pursuit.
This means that Xiao Mian can prepare for battle in the first layer of space with all his heart!
Soon, Xingxiu Tianzun, the Golden War Spirit and the Titan Mecha all returned to the spaceship. The three gathered together and summarized the first-hand intelligence they had obtained.
After Xiao Mian appeared, Xia Jiuyou tried his best to kill Xiao Mian, giving Xingxiu Tianzun and others an opportunity to take advantage of. While dealing with those yellow sand incarnations, Xingxiu Tianzun and others were also quickly collecting intelligence and information from the second layer of space, and then retreated.
However, when everyone summarized the intelligence they had obtained and looked at the display screen in the spaceship, Xiao Mian and the other two did not look very good.
In fact: the intelligence information in the second layer of space is pitifully little!
In addition to the yellow sand all over the sky, it is the yellow sand all over the sky!
In addition, there is only one Xia Jiuyou and Xiao Mian and others...
In the spaceship, the three looked at each other and were helpless for a while.
Could it be that he really had to shamelessly ask Hou Tu's spirit for help again?
Xiao Mian just thought about this, and as if sensing Xiao Mian's thoughts, Hou Tu's spirit came uninvited. Seeing this scene, Xiao Mian hurriedly bowed.
One is to ask for help, and the other is that Hou Tu's spirit is extraordinary.
Even Xingxiu Tianzun and Golden War Spirit stood solemnly.
As for Hou Tu's spirit, after appearing, he neither looked at Xiao Mian, nor Xingxiu Tianzun and Golden War Spirit, but wandered around in the spaceship.
"Is this the product of extraterrestrial civilization? It is indeed - the way of strange skills and tricks!" While wandering, Hou Tu's spirit did not forget to comment on it. At the end, he said to himself: "A grain of sand is a world, a flower is a bodhi. If the sand is not sand, then the flower is not a flower!"
At the end of the words, Hou Tu's spirit disappeared - just as abruptly as when it came.
The huge spaceship fell into silence again.
After a long time, Xiao Mian and Xingxiu Tianzun murmured to themselves at the same time...
"Sand is not sand, flower is not flower?"
"One grain of sand is a world, one flower is a bodhi?"
After the words, Xiao Mian and Xingxiu Tianzun looked at each other, and both of them were shocked.
"Senior! Have you thought of anything?"
"Xiao Mian! Didn't you think of it too?"
"..., you two! Stop playing dumb! What is it?" Under the urging of the golden war spirit, Xiao Mian and Xingxiu Tianzun said in unison: "Sand!"
Compared to the Soul Devouring Sea of the first layer of space, the second layer of space is called the Soul-Hiding Desert!
The entire Soul-Hiding Desert is integrated. Xia Jiuyou is above the Soul-Hiding Desert with the realm of transformation, and turns the entire Soul-Hiding Desert into his senses and tentacles.
In other words, Xia Jiuyou is the Soul-Hiding Desert, and the Soul-Hiding Desert is Xia Jiuyou!
To pass the second level of the Soul-Hiding Desert, you need to defeat Xia Jiuyou;
To defeat Xia Jiuyou, you need to find a way to crack the Soul-Hiding Desert;
To crack the Soul-Hiding Desert, you must start with one grain of sand at a time!
The simplest and dumbest method is to destroy all the gravel in the Soul-Hidden Desert, and the Soul-Hidden Desert will no longer exist - but this is nothing but a fool's dream!
Besides, Xia Jiuyou is not made of clay, so how can he allow Xiao Mian and others to do whatever they want?
The workaround suggested by Hou Tu's spirit is to replace the gravel coefficient in the Soul-Hidden Desert with other attributes, and then remove the firewood from the bottom.
"I'm afraid: we have to enter the second level space again!" Looking at Xiao Mian and the Golden War Spirit, Xingxiu Tianzun revealed his plan: "If there is a chance, take the opportunity to collect a lot of gravel. I want to use these gravel to do compatibility experiments."
"Compatibility experiment?"
"Everything in the world does not exist independently. There must be connections between each other. It's just that some substances are deeply connected, and some substances are shallowly connected. The two substances with deep connections can be said to have a high degree of compatibility, while the two substances with shallow connections have a low degree of compatibility. For example, the so-called water and fire are incompatible, which is a manifestation of extremely low compatibility. What we are looking for is a substance with a high compatibility with gravel. Through the interaction between them, the physical properties of the gravel are changed to make it reborn - sand is not sand!"
"The materials in the world are almost infinite. How to choose this compatibility test?"
"This... To be honest, I can only rely on guessing!"
"..."
Xiao Mian was speechless after hearing this.
It was the Golden War Spirit, a typical action-oriented person, who urged the two to act.
Eat one bite at a time, and collect gravel samples first, and then hand them over to Xingxiu Tianzun for a compatibility test. Maybe there will be results soon?
Thinking of this, Xiao Mian and others attacked again and rushed into the second layer of space.
Because of the previous test, Xiao Mian was still alone in this assault, and Xingxiu Tianzun and the Golden War Spirit were combined together.
Anyway, with Xia Jiuyou's determination to get Xiao Mian, as long as he sensed Xiao Mian's existence, Xia Jiuyou would definitely take action himself, and one bait would be enough.
Xingxiu Tianzun and others were combined together, and they could also act better.
Sure enough!
As soon as Xiao Mian entered the second layer of space, he was taken care of by countless yellow sand clones. Before Xiao Mian released the six incarnations to clear the scene, Xia Jiuyou had already rushed to the scene.
"Xiao Mian! Don't you want to know: how is she in the spirit world?"
As soon as he appeared, Xia Jiuyou not only did not take action, but also started to chat.
Xiao Mian was stunned when he heard this, and he stopped the urge to run away and looked at Xia Jiuyou directly. Xia Jiuyou was clearly using Fu Qingqiong's information to keep Xiao Mian hooked.
After Xia Jiuyou appeared, those yellow sand incarnations retreated one after another, but they did not disappear. Instead, they surrounded Xiao Mian and Xia Jiuyou in three layers.
Especially Xiao Mian's retreat to the first layer of space was completely blocked by countless yellow sand clones. The strength of these yellow sand clones should not be underestimated.
Seeing that Xiao Mian's retreat was blocked, Xia Jiuyou laughed.
"You know I'm trying to trick you, but you still don't run away?"
"Xia Jiuyou! Let's not talk in secret in front of people! The level you're guarding is only the second level! There are four more levels above, and there must be four more Divine Transformation cultivators waiting for me. Even if I can get through the second level by chance, I'm really powerless to climb up - I, Xiao Mian, am afraid that my life will end here! In this case, why don't you let my old friend take the credit for killing me? I only hope that you will tell me her current situation because I'm determined to die, so that I can walk on the road to the underworld. You should feel more at ease!"
"Xiao Mian! Do you really think so?" A pair of dark eyes on the pale face stared at Xiao Mian, and Xia Jiuyou said slowly: "Yes! I am sure that you can't escape from Qi Jue Mountain, and you can't even get through my Hidden Spirit Desert. But aren't you always good at risking your life? Don't you want to retreat to advance? But it doesn't matter! In my eyes, you are just an ant! I want to see how you jump!"
"Is she... okay?"
Perseverantly, Xiao Mian asked about Fu Qingqiong's recent situation.
Xia Jiuyou heard this, pondered for a moment, and remained silent for a long time.
"Good? Bad? I'm not her, how do I know? I can only tell you: she has successfully become a god! The Ghost Emperor Netherworld treats her well, regards her as his last disciple, and teaches her everything he knows. In time, she may really inherit the Ghost Emperor's legacy and become famous in the spirit world."
"Really? That's good..."
"But! That's when you're still alive!" Staring at Xiao Mian, Xia Jiuyou said coldly: "Do you think: Ghost Emperor Netherworld has nothing to do? Go to the lower world to find a so-called reincarnated disciple? Do you think: She is really the reincarnated disciple of Ghost Emperor Netherworld? It's because - she is your dual cultivation partner!"
"..."
Hearing this, Xiao Mian remained silent.
Xiao Mian had long doubted the Ghost Emperor Netherworld's original intention for Fu Qingqiong.
Now, after hearing Xia Jiuyou's words, Xiao Mian was speechless.
It was Xia Jiuyou, looking at Xiao Mian, sneering...
"I have told you everything you want to know, can you go on your way with peace of mind?"
"Thank you for telling me! But - I can't die yet!"
"If I want you to die, you must die!"
After speaking, Xia Jiuyou shouted, and a ghost energy rose from the long hair behind Xia Jiuyou's head, transformed into a black dragon, and rushed towards Xiao Mian's face.
Seeing this, Xiao Mian raised his hand and pointed out - the Ghost Killing Finger!
The Ghost Killing Finger hit the head of the black dragon, and the black dragon was decapitated. The subsequent ghost energy lost its direction and suddenly scattered, spreading between heaven and earth.
Seeing this, Xia Jiuyou focused his eyes and his pupils shrank slightly.
This kid!
It is clearly trapped in the Nascent Soul Realm, but it is becoming more and more unfathomable!
Thinking of this, Xia Jiuyou's mind moved secretly, his black hair fluttered, and ghost energy black dragons continued to rise, dancing in the air, and flying in the air.
Although Xiao Mian's Killing Ghost Finger is specifically used to restrain ghosts, it is only one finger after all.
More and more fish that slipped through the defense of the Killing Ghost Finger rushed to Xiao Mian. Before these ghost energy black dragons hit Xiao Mian, a layer of golden light burst out.
The Hunyuan Golden Body was activated. Although several ghost energy black dragons successfully hit Xiao Mian's body, they could not penetrate the defense of the Hunyuan Golden Body at all, and they were completely useless.
Seeing Xiao Mian, who was sacred and inviolable in the golden light, Xia Jiuyou suddenly realized that he was fooled by Xiao Mian, and he was a little embarrassed and angry.
"Xiao Mian! Today I will show you the essence of the spirit world!"
While speaking, Xia Jiuyou waved his hands and released two dark streams of light. Looking more closely, the two dark streams of light were not one, but condensed from flying needles!
The flying needles were as small as cow hairs. The reason why they could condense into dark streams of light was because there were too many flying needles - tens of thousands!
Each flying needle was only a high-level magic weapon, but with the huge number of flying needles, the overall power of this set of flying needles even exceeded the first-level spiritual treasure.
While Xiao Mian remained silent, tens of thousands of flying needles slowly rotated in the air, with Xiao Mian as the center, forming a formation - the Zhoutian Ghost Evil Barrier!
After the formation was completed, Xia Jiuyou was really relieved!
Based on Xia Jiuyou's previous achievements in the spirit world, as long as he successfully laid the Zhoutian Ghost Evil Barrier, there would be few rivals among the opponents who belonged to the same God Transformation cultivator.
Xia Jiuyou just didn't believe it: Xiao Mian was only in the Nascent Soul stage, could he still be lawless?
Looking at the black clouds spinning above his head, and Xia Jiuyou outside the black clouds, Xiao Mian had a thought in his mind: Is the foundation of the spiritual world just at this level?
Don't blame Xiao Mian for being arrogant, it's really Xia Jiuyou who takes himself too seriously!
This set of ghost evil needles may be more than enough to deal with ordinary cultivators. After forming the Zhoutian ghost evil barrier, it is indeed enough to restrain the Divine Transformation cultivator.
But Xia Jiuyou seems to have forgotten one thing: Xiao Mian is definitely not an ordinary cultivator!
Never!
Since following Fu Qingqiong to ascend to the spiritual world hundreds of years ago, Xia Jiuyou has been practicing hard in the spiritual world, and finally he successfully survived the Divine Transformation Tribulation.
Under the rich spiritual energy and huge accumulation of materials in the spiritual world, Xia Jiuyou finally refined this set of Ghost Evil Needles. This time, he did not hesitate to go to the Qijue Mountain and meet Xiao Mian on a narrow road. Xia Jiuyou did not mind bullying the weak, and he also wanted to kill Xiao Mian and make Xiao Mian die.
Xia Jiuyou even thought about it!
After killing Xiao Mian, he would separate Xiao Mian's soul and body, and then hide them separately, refine the body into corpse, and refine the soul into a weapon. He wanted to make Xiao Mian fall into eternal damnation!
Unfortunately, Xia Jiuyou missed one point: Xiao Mian was also making progress!
Although trapped in the power of the laws of heaven and earth, Xiao Mian's cultivation was imprisoned in the Nascent Soul Realm, but after hundreds of years of hard practice, Xiao Mian's strength has been brave and advanced.
What's more, when he was in the Golden Core Stage, Xiao Mian killed the Nascent Soul Patriarch.
Now that he is in the Nascent Soul Realm, Xiao Mian is not incapable of killing the God Transformation Cultivator!
Seeing that Xia Jiuyou had set up such a big battle, Xiao Mian planned to give him a surprise - maybe, there would be no need to do any compatibility experiments so troublesome...
Xiao Mian planned to use the same trick against Xia Jiuyou and try to kill him!
As long as Xia Jiuyou could be killed, the second level of the Hidden Spirit Desert would be a smooth journey.
Based on Xiao Mian's assessment of the strength of both himself and Xia Jiuyou, he had a chance to kill Xia Jiuyou, but this chance of killing could only happen once.
Now Xia Jiuyou thought that he had entered the state of transformation and was superior to others. He looked down on Xiao Mian and always thought that Xiao Mian could no longer threaten him.
Once Xia Jiuyou realized that Xiao Mian had the strength to kill him, Xia Jiuyou would not be so obedient to fight Xiao Mian fairly.
At that time, with the help of the entire Hidden Spirit Desert, Xia Jiuyou would be invincible.
Xiao Mian must seize this only opportunity - one strike to kill!
When Xiao Mian thought so, the Zhoutian Ghost Evil Barrier in the sky began to rotate constantly, like a dark sphere, trapping Xiao Mian in it and wrapping him up.
Xiao Mian's mind moved, and the magic weapon Tai Chi appeared.
A good magic weapon flying sword was divided into two, two into four... and so on. A magic weapon Tai Chi was divided into tens of thousands of Tai Chi flying needles.
Regardless of the formation, the Tai Chi flying needles rushed up into the sky like a swarm of bees, and plunged into the dark cloud, each looking for their own target.
Tens of thousands of Tai Chi flying needles and tens of thousands of ghost evil spirit needles fought with clanging noises.
Xia Jiuyou saw it, his expression was solemn-he didn't expect: Xiao Mian had such a method!
But after another look, Xia Jiuyou's expression eased a little. After all, his ghost evil spirit needle formed a Zhoutian ghost evil spirit barrier. With the help of the power of the barrier, the power of the ghost evil spirit needle increased greatly.
In contrast, Xiao Mian's Tai Chi flying needles were completely unsystematic and irregular...
In the long run, the Tai Chi flying needles will definitely not last long.
Thinking of this, Xia Jiuyou's deep gaze shifted from the Tai Chi flying needle to Xiao Mian, and a thought came to his mind: Today, I will kill people first, then take the treasure!
A thought came to his mind, and a thought moved his heart.
The next moment, nine black shadows appeared behind Xia Jiuyou. They were the supreme ghost magic that Xia Jiuyou relied on to become famous - the Nine Nether Clones!
The nine Nine Nether Clones have all cultivated to the top level of the Nascent Soul.
Without Xia Jiuyou's command, the nine Nine Nether clones turned into nine black lights and attacked Xiao Mian together. However, it was Xiao Mian who waved his sleeves and remained unmoved. Six different colored lights flew out from under Xiao Mian's sleeves and turned into six incarnations, blocking the Nine Nether clones.
Although it was six against nine, and they were at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, Xiao Mian's six incarnations all had extraordinary foundations and profound backgrounds, which were definitely not comparable to the Nine Nether clones.
In addition, the six incarnations had different attributes and different skills. Under Xiao Mian's single-minded control, they cooperated seamlessly with each other and exerted extraordinary combat power.
For a while, the six incarnations and the Nine Nether clones fought hard...
