Chapter 229: The Heavenly Sun Appears in the World
Chapter 228 – Heavenly Sun Appears in the World
With Qing Mu and Ling Meng, the two YuanYing True Monarchs, pressing the front, it was obvious that everyone was much more relaxed along the way.
Along the way, they joked and laughed, chatting about anecdotes and secrets.
Li Fan all just smiled and listened without getting involved.
In the process of rushing, he had also occasionally encountered cultivators from other states.
While exchanging insights with each other, Li Fan happened to learn that the prophecy of the Pill King Sect’s Pill King Ding’s imminent return had begun to circulate around the region.
It was just that at this time, everyone was still just treating it as a joke and did not take it as true.
It seemed that Jiao Xiuyuan had already begun to make efforts to lay out his plans, but it would take a long time to form a real impact on public opinion.
Time rushes by.
After taking another half year, the group finally returned to Cong Yunhai.
At this point, it was already 13 years since the anchoring.
Most people had already added each other’s contact information, and after some goodbyes, each returned to rest.
The doppelganger was in the Heavenly Xuan Mirror, initiating the ritual and coming into the White Bone Advance Realm.
……
On the nameless desert island.
Xiao Heng, who was already in the late stage of Qi Refining at this time and was practicing bitterly with his eyes closed, suddenly looked puzzled.
Exciting the necklace on his chest, his consciousness instantly came to the White Bone Advance Realm as well.
“Senior? You’re awake?” He looked at the skull that seemed to have regained some of its spirit and said in surprise.
“Ahem, it’s just a slight recovery, barely escaping the fate of completely disappearing. I woke up this time because I have a task to deliver to you. Next, it’s still necessary to heal your injuries in slumber.” Skull said in a weak tone.
“When I was in slumber, I seemed to sense that around you, there had once appeared a little fellow with the same good talent ……”
Xiao Heng hurriedly said, “It’s a partner who came out from his hometown with me, called Ye Feipeng. The cultivation speed is equally fast and reliable.”
The skull pondered for a moment, seemingly sensing, “Well, this little fatty’s talent is indeed not much weaker than you.”
“Unfortunately it seems to be not the same person as the one I sensed in my slumber.”
Xiao Heng froze and immediately replied, “Can it be that it is the little sister? Although she is still just a tiny bit older, she can already run and jump with frightening strength!”
“Hiss …… this little girl doll, the strength of her natural talent is as terrifying as this. However, how come she hasn’t started cultivating yet? Such a genius, how come you haven’t absorbed her into our [Restoration Immortal]? Xiao kid, how can you be so slack?”
“With you being like this, how can I feel confident to completely hand over the foundation of [Restore Immortal] to you?” Skull chided in a muffled voice.
“Huh?” Xiao Heng’s face flushed, and he explained in a somewhat flustered manner, “Senior don’t misunderstand, I just see that my little sister is still young, that’s why I didn’t rush to let her cultivate ……”
Skull interrupted his words, “A supreme genius cannot be measured by common sense. By doing so, you have instead delayed her.”
“Well, you’re still too young after all, it seems that the hasty decision to hand over the heavy responsibility to you all at once at that time was a bit inappropriate ……”
Skull whispered to himself.
“Senior ……,” Xiao Heng sniffed, and for a moment, he was somewhat at a loss for words.
After a long time, the skull seemed to have made a decision.
“The so-called solo tree is difficult to support, it is indeed a bit too difficult for you alone.”
“Tell you what, I’ll help you again.”
Saying that, the skull flew high into the air, and a ghostly light shot out from its empty eyes.
Within the light, countless images flashed rapidly and alternately.
Xiao Heng could vaguely see the images of many islands with different sceneries.
After a few moments, the flashing images abruptly stopped.
And as if the skull had been consumed too much, it fell to the ground.
Xiao Heng hurried forward, but was called back.
As he was shot by the light emitted from the skull, Xiao Heng’s mind instantly surfaced several people’s information.
“Liuli Island, Zhang Haobo ……”
“Night Rend Island, Yin Yue Ting and Yin Yu Zhen ……”
“Senior, this is?”
Xiao Heng could not help but be a little confused.
“These, are the children of Qi Luck that I unleashed my secret technique, searched the heavens and found within the confines of this Cong Yun Sea.”
“These few people, either have extraordinary cultivation talents. Or they are endowed with extraordinary abilities.”
“It will be of great help to you in revitalizing the [Restoration of Immortality].”
“It’s just a pity that my injuries were too severe and my secret techniques were interrupted, so I only found these few ……”
The skull sighed.
“Kid, I’m running out of power again. Next, it’s up to your own destiny.”
“Remember, the main focus is to develop and improve your strength. The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance is so powerful that even a YuanYing cultivator will find it difficult to make any waves.”
“So your first priority is to cultivate.”
“Newly joining these few people, don’t directly reveal the bottom of the [Restoration of Immortals] to them either.”
“Just say that it’s a loose cultivation organization so as not to scare them.”
“How about the specifics, make up your own mind ……”
The skull’s voice became smaller and smaller, and eventually, gradually became illusory and disappeared into the darkness.
“Senior ……”
Xiao Heng saw this and clenched his fists in death.
After a long time, his eyes slowly became resolute again.
Awakening from the Advancement Realm, Xiao Heng was about to look for Ye Feipeng and discuss with him about finding the Sons of Qi.
However, he did not expect that he would come to the door first instead.
Sneaky and secretive.
Xiao Heng will be pulled to a secluded and unoccupied place, before he slowly said a word.
“Tianyang Cave? Several Foundation Establishment cultivators went in to explore under the leadership of a Jindan cultivator. As a result, there were heavy deaths and injuries, and only the Jindan cultivator escaped?” Xiao Heng looked at Ye Feipeng, feeling a bit baffled.
“Why are you telling me this?”
Ye Feipeng said seriously, “The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance is preparing for its second expedition. This time, the exploration team is estimated to be led by YuanYing, plus quite a few Jindan cultivators.”
“However, it’s useless!”
“Damn it, it’s hard to escape death! I venture to guess that the second exploration team, will still be annihilated by the group!”
Xiao Heng froze, “Impossible, didn’t you say that this is a Jindan cave, how could even a YuanYing great cultivator die inside?”
Ye Feipeng snorted coldly, “That’s because, in the Tianyang Cave, the seventeen organ puppets have strange characteristics!”
“When encountering weakness, they are weak, and when encountering strength, they are strong!” He said in a deep voice, word by word.
Xiao Heng’s eyes narrowed as he carefully sensed the meaning of these eight characters.
Suddenly, he sized up Ye Feipeng and said suspiciously, “How do you know it so clearly?”
Ye Feipeng waved his hand, “Born to know, born to know! Have you forgotten?”
“That’s not the point, the point is, we have to sneak into the cave before the second expedition team is formed and snatch the chance inside!” Ye Feipeng said firmly.
“Otherwise, when the team from the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance is reunited again, it will cause an uproar. It will be impossible for us to seize the chance without attracting attention!”
Looking at Xiao Heng’s eyes full of skepticism, Ye Feipeng became anxious and said evenly, “You don’t believe me?”
“Would I still harm you?!”
“We are both from the Leaving Realm, and we are both members of the [Restoration of Immortals], and we have even signed the deed.”
“We are all connected by the same breath, one honor and one loss.”
“How could I possibly be unfavorable to you!”
……
In the end, Xiao Heng was still convinced.
The two of them quietly arrived near the Tianyang Cave and the undersea volcano.
At this time, the news of the Tianyang Cave Mansion had not yet spread on a large scale, and the surrounding area was quiet, with no cultivators squatting.
“You go in first in a while and meet those puppets for a while. Let’s see how long they can last.” “Puppets at the Qi Refining Stage have weak attack power. Even if they get hit, it’s nothing.”
“I’ll let the wind out outside.”
Ye Feipeng admonished.
Xiao Heng slowly nodded his head with a grave expression as he flew into the Tianyang Cave.
After twenty or so breaths of time had passed, Xiao Heng rushed out in some distress.
There were no words spoken, only quiet closed-eye contemplation.
After a while, he flew back into it.
This time, the time Xiao Heng held on doubled.
The third time ……
After half a day, Xiao Heng said to Ye Feipeng with some fatigue, “I’ve almost figured out how these puppets attack.”
“But I have limited Spiritual Qi in my body, even so, I can’t hold on for long.”
Ye Feipeng looked confident and handed Xiao Heng a storage ring.
Xiao Heng took a look and the ring was filled with spirit stones.
“Where did you get these?” He could not help but ask.
Ye Feipeng said smugly, “Of course Little Master has his own brilliant plan, so don’t mind these.”
“How about it, with these spirit stones, how long can you probably last?”
Xiao Heng took out a Spirit Stone and sensed the concentration of Spirit Qi within it.
After a while, he replied in the affirmative, “With enough Spiritual Qi to support me, those puppets, although they are more numerous, should not be able to help me.”
Ye Feipeng hurriedly said, “No, no, this won’t work. You must both fall behind and not lose. In this way, hold on for as long as you can. Until I come out from inside.”
Xiao Heng frowned, “Fatty, are you making fun of me? What kind of odd request is this?”
He then sized up Ye Feipeng carefully, “Are you hiding something from me?”
“Don’t be so paranoid, I’m not telling you, I’m just afraid that it will have an impact on your mindset, thus lowering your combat power.” Ye Feipeng said somewhat helplessly, “To say danger, I’m inside the cave, isn’t it more dangerous?”
“If something really goes wrong, you still have hope to escape from the exit. I, however, can’t even slip away.”
Xiao Heng smiled and slowly nodded his head.
“Alright, there’s no time to lose. Let’s prepare a little and act immediately. Little Master, my life is in your hands!”
Ye Feipeng was a little nervous, but he took a deep breath and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.
“Go!”
After a few moments, the two of them rushed into the Tian Yang Cave successively.
Seventeen puppets stopped in front of the two.
Ye Feipeng’s feet generated light, and with a sudden flash, he circled around and appeared behind the puppets.
The angry puppets were about to pursue, but they were stopped by the azure-colored water sword.
The water swords in the sky, like flying dragons, erupted in unison.
Xiao Heng was immediately with the seventeen puppets and stood in a ball.
Xiao Heng, who was surrounded and attacked, looked very wretched.
The attacks of the puppets almost all grazed his body.
The slightest carelessness would risk being seriously injured.
But then, it seemed to be extremely lucky, and every time, he managed to avoid the attacks just right.
It appeared to be a dangerous situation, but in reality, it was all under control.
The battle between the two sides continued for some time.
The puppet that had been unable to attack for a long time seemed to be undergoing some sort of metamorphosis.
The power of each move gradually became beyond the range of the Qi Refining Stage.
On the red silk body, there was even a hidden black light shining.
A trace of an unpleasant premonition suddenly surfaced in Xiao Heng’s heart.
He took out another Spirit Stone to replenish the Spiritual Qi in his body.
He shouted towards the interior of the cave, “Fatty, is it ready yet!”
Echoes traveled in bursts, but there was no response.
Xiao Heng could only grit his teeth again.
The puppet’s attacks became more and more severe, and Xiao Heng gradually became somewhat unable to act.
When he was about to be hit by the puppet, he let out a loud shout.
“Water Dragon Bellow!”
Water swords, which were twice as numerous as those on the field, sprang up.
The dense sea-setting swords immediately swept the puppets away.
The seventeen puppets paused for a split second.
Afterward, a crack began to gradually appear on their bodies.
“Fatty! The situation is not right!”
Xiao Heng shouted.
“Tian ……”
In the cave, an ancient and mechanical voice suddenly resounded.
“F*ck! How come there’s nothing!” Ye Feipeng’s extremely depressed voice also sounded at the same time.
Only to see him turn into a thin line and rush out from the depths of the cave without looking back.
“Run!”
While fleeing, he shouted.
Xiao Heng had never seen Fatty so scared.
With a tremor in his heart, he did not hesitate at that moment, and the Spiritual Qi in his body exploded without reservation.
The Sea Defining Divine Sword was like a rainstorm of pear blossoms, forcing the seventeen puppets back.
Xiao Heng followed closely after Ye Feipeng and slipped away from the Tianyang Cave.
“Yang ……”
Before leaving, Xiao Heng heard the sound of something shattering on the ground.
“Keep running, as far as you can!” Ye Feipeng’s terrified voice came from his ears.
Xiao Heng’s heart tightened as he followed his chubby but incomparably flexible figure and lumbered far away.
Not long after the departure of Xiao Heng and Ye Feipeng, a squad of a dozen or so people happened to arrive in front of the Heavenly Sun Cave Mansion.
“With True Lord Gou Xuan leading the team this time, exploring a small Jindan Cave Mansion will surely come in handy.” A Jindan cultivator in the group boasted.
“Hahaha, go! I want to see if the puppets in this cave are really that amazing!” True Lord Gou Xuan laughed and took the lead to walk in.
What greeted him was a huge black palm full of cracks.
……
“Tian Yang lifetime ……”
“Not weak!”
Rolls of smoke rose to the sky, and undersea volcanoes erupted one after another.
In front of the terrifying power of heaven and earth, the Jindan cultivators did not have the slightest power to resist.
This expedition squad, the last second their faces were filled with smiles.
The next second it just inexplicably and unexplainably disappeared into this world.
The Heavenly Sun Puppet, which stood on top of the sky, stood with its head held high and let out an angry hiss.
Bewildered, it discerned the direction and took a big stride towards the Ten Thousand Immortal Island.
