The Ten Directions of Heaven and Earth

I saw the man in the hall wearing a battle robe, with a red mysterious fire mark on his face, and his eyes were cold and deep, walking towards Duanmu Xie step by step.

Under the pressure of this aura, Duanmu Xie trembled all over and did not dare to raise his head. He said in a trembling voice, "I don't know why the Xuanhuo Envoy came here today... This, these years, the Soul Cauldron has been a little bit... There’s no shortage of it either…”

"You don't have to be nervous."

The man in the robe still had a stern look in his eyes and said, "I am here today to tell you that the soul cauldron this time, no matter how much, must be delivered in advance."

"Put...advance?"

Duanmu Xie raised his head, with some confusion on his face. In the past, didn't the soul cauldron always be given away every ten years? Why is it three years early this time... ✲

"What? Do you have a problem?" The man in the robe looked at him and said coldly.

"Ah... No, no problem!" Duanmu Xie quickly lowered his head, three years in advance, just three years in advance, but the number of these soul cauldrons...

The man in the robe said, "The soul cauldron will be delivered next month. Remember, there must be no mistakes in this matter." While speaking, he glanced at the back hall intentionally or unintentionally.

"Don't worry, sir! There won't be any problems!" Duanmu Xie quickly raised his head and looked at him.

"That's good." The man flicked his robe and walked out. "If there's nothing else, I'll leave first.

"Congratulations to your distinguished envoy!"

Only then did Duanmu Xie dare to stand up and bend down to send him off respectfully. However, the disciples outside held their breath at this moment and did not dare to say anything.

After sending the Xuanhuo Envoy away, Duanmu Xie finally breathed a sigh of relief, but the next moment, he suddenly seemed to have lost his soul. After a long time, he returned to the cave uneasily.

In the past, because the soul cauldron was only sent to the "Heaven Realm" every ten years, he usually waited until a few years later to start searching for souls and condensing the soul cauldron. But this time it came suddenly, and he didn't have it on hand. Are there so many soul cauldrons?

"Your Majesty, otherwise... let's send someone to the Northern Territory. I heard that there were a lot of casualties in the battle there a while ago. Maybe we can find some souls during our trip." A man in black clothes said The young man whispered in Duanmu Xie's ear.

"Northern Territory..."

Duanmuxie thought carefully for a moment, his expression suddenly became serious, and he asked, "How many can you catch?"

"At least this number." The middle-aged man came closer to him and made an "eight" sign in his hand.

"Eight hundred?"

Duanmu Xie's eyes narrowed. Although it was less, it was better than nothing. The middle-aged man shook his head and smiled and said, "It's 80,000."

"Eighty thousand souls?"

This time, the expression on Duanmu Xie's face became very solemn. What is the concept of 80,000 souls? Even in the past, the most he sent to the Heaven Realm was less than 10,000 souls. These 80,000 souls were no small matter...

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "If your Majesty is at ease, then I will leave this matter to my disciples. However, when the time comes, I need your Majesty to give you two powerful magic weapons, otherwise I am afraid that I will not be able to steal the old demon hand of Black Wind." Those people down there..."

"no problem.

Duanmu Xie's eyes narrowed, and this time he finally solved one of his worries. In fact, more than a thousand years ago, they did not have this worry at all. It was not until later that the Tianyu was occupied by a mysterious person. That person With one hand, he killed the original Lord of the Heaven Realm and became the new Lord of the Heaven Realm, and was regarded as the "Tianzun".

No one knows the true identity of this Heavenly Lord. They only know that his cultivation is unfathomable. Even the strong men of the Nine Realms in the past are as fragile as ants under his peerless magical power.

Therefore, cultivators with hundreds of thousands of miles around can only bow their heads and surrender. Every ten years, they must send soul cauldrons condensed with living souls to ensure peace in the coming year.

Duanmu Xie was so scared when he saw the Xuanhuo Envoy just now. It was not unreasonable. At this time, he slowly came back to his senses. Seeing the middle-aged man still standing in front of him, he frowned and asked, "Do you have anything else?"

"this……"

The middle-aged man thought for a while, smiled softly, and said, "Your Majesty, what are you going to do with the woman you captured today?"

"Um?"

Duanmu Xie's eyes narrowed, and he finally understood the meaning this time. He pointed at the middle-aged man and said, "You kid, I'm just saying, why are you so smart today? Well, well, well, you can handle things for me." It’s done, little lady, I will only pick it three times and reward it to you later.”

Hearing this, the middle-aged man was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" As he spoke, he couldn't help but glance into the back hall. The fiery look in his eyes seemed to be beyond control.

Two days passed like this, and on the third day, there was still no movement outside, and Xiao Meng'er was trapped in the back hall. There were layers of restrictions in the entire hall. Even if she opened the acupuncture points on her body, there would be no movement. It may not be possible to escape Duanmu Xie's clutches.

As of today, Xiao Meng'er no longer expects Xiao Chen to come to save her, so she has no choice but to take desperate risks and use the ancient Xiao family's heaven-defying mystical skill - "The Ancient Heaven-Defying Art".

This heaven-defying mystical skill is not trivial. It was passed down from the Xiao family of the six ancient aristocratic families. If at that time, this mystical skill was enough to rank among the top three mystical skills in the world, even the ancient Xiao family of that year would not be able to fully cultivate this mystical skill. Not many people are successful.

Now that it has been passed down to the Xiao family in the Lingxu Realm, there are only fragments left, but even if it is a fragment, it is no small matter. Ordinary people cannot practice at all. Forcibly cultivating will only result in the burning of the meridians in the whole body, and even go crazy, and then fall into a trap. The devil's abyss.

Therefore, this "Ancient Heaven-defying Technique" is also listed as a forbidden technique of the Xiao family. Even the current head of the family, Xiao Xuanfeng, cannot practice this technique. It is not that this technique is classified as a forbidden technique and he cannot practice it, but that he is not talented enough. , it is really difficult to practice this technique. In the past thousand years, only two people have practiced this technique.

The first person was Xiao Hen, who was expelled from the Xiao family back then. This man was a genius, but he had evil intentions and had spied on this method several times.

The second one is Xiao Meng'er. Even Xiao Zhufeng, the peerless genius decades ago, gave up practicing this technique after he saw it.

How could Xiao Zhufeng practice such skills back then? This technique is also somewhat evil, especially the "Three Transformations Against Demons" recorded in it, which are even more evil. During practice, the true energy of the whole body is circulated in the reverse direction, turning one's body into a demon, using "essence", At the cost of "qi" and "god", he uses invincible moves that dominate the world. Once he loses control, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Moreover, each time the "Three Transformations Against Demons" method is used, the person becomes possessed by the devil to a deeper level. In the end, he may be beyond redemption and turn into a real devil, from which it will be difficult to turn back.

Therefore, Xiao Zhufeng back then, although he was fully capable of practicing this ancient heaven-defying art, and even if he practiced this mysterious art, he would surpass any genius of the Xiao family in the past, but in the end he gave up.

Because he didn't want that many years later, the only person he loved in the world, Su Rou, would see him after becoming a demon. Even though at that time, he had extraordinary powers and was unmatched by anyone in the world.

The reason why Xiao Meng'er was able to take risks to practice this mysterious skill was because she became a disciple of Donghua Immortal Lord and learned a profound Taoist method. She was able to suppress the demonic nature of this ancient mysterious skill with her own supreme Taoist method. .

(You didn’t expect the three transformations of the Demon, did you? In the previous book, someone used the move of killing a god by blocking a god, and killing a Buddha by blocking a Buddha...)
