King of Black Mist

In the fifth holy city, in the boundless blue sea, a black nest floats.

In the nest, a prison crow with a wingspan of two meters raised its neck and swallowed a half-meter-long herring.

The familiar warm feeling spread from the abdomen, and the whole body felt as comfortable as being immersed in hot water.

The terrifying black mist overflowed from under every wing of the prison crow.

Above the prison crow's head, in the black mist, a prison loomed.

"It's done!" The prison crow was ecstatic.

If it weren't for the purpose of saving energy, it would definitely return to its Qianzhang body, roaring to the sky, roaring to heaven and earth.

The legendary black prison body of the Hell Crow clan has awakened in it!

In the black prison, as long as the living beings are locked in, all the magical powers of the prisoner can be controlled at will.

A physique capable of conquering the universe!

Although it cannot leave the fifth holy city, the prison crow is not in a hurry. It pays attention to the live broadcast every day, believing that those who are the most powerful will find a way out.

It just has to wait.

Now that there is a black prison body, when it leaves the nine holy cities, it has a chance to become a saint on its own!

There are many people who agree with it, so even if the fifth holy city cannot leave or recover its energy, there is still an endless stream of people entering.

The prison crow turns on the live broadcast, which is the only place where it consumes energy.

On weekdays, even if it encounters Wuying Island, it will not land to challenge it.

There are very few live broadcasters in the Fifth Holy City. After all, live broadcasting also consumes energy.

Browsing through the live broadcast rooms one after another, the live broadcaster is not important. Now that we are on the sea, separated by the sky, the live broadcaster cannot collect intelligence.

The important thing is to leave a message, that is the main source of news.

Most of today's messages are still about showing off the color of fish caught, and there is no news about the way out.

After quickly browsing, the prison crow closed the live broadcast room. Even if he had enough energy, he could not waste it.

"Huh?" Prison Crow was stunned for a moment.

The sea is vast, there is no wind, no fog, and the waves are calm.

It also found itself stopped.

Entering the fifth holy city, the black nest on the body, which acts as a ship, will automatically move forward. Some strong people speculate that the sea has an end point, and the test is to reach this end point before the energy is exhausted.

Now, Black Nest's advance stopped.

The prison crow is not excited about the abnormal mutation. It does not think that it is the favored one of heaven, nor does it think it is the reason for awakening the black prison body.

Entering the fifth holy city, there are countless participants who have awakened their bloodline, physique, and natural talents. Why is it different?

It only felt panic.

"what happened?!"

Not caring about stingy energy, except for the inviolable sea, the sea and the sky are filled with its divine consciousness.

Nothing was found.

It quickly opened the live broadcast room again. No matter the live broadcaster or the message, no one mentioned the situation of the ship standing still.

It wanted to leave a message, but no one answered it.

No, it’s so wrong!

Prison Crow started the live broadcast directly and became the live broadcaster himself.

If it were in the first three holy cities, it would be difficult for new live broadcasters to gain attention, but there were very few live broadcasters in the fifth holy city, and no matter how new they were, there would be a massive influx of creatures and combatants.

No, not a single bystander or participant!

Hell Crow, if the spiritual species were divided into nine levels, a strong man who was at the peak of the ninth level and was almost realizing his will was now trembling with fear and feeling chilled all over his body.

It keeps trying.

But no matter how hard it is driven, no matter how powerful it is, it can't make the ship move even half a step!

Is it related to physical fitness?

The prison crow killed himself and spat out a mouthful of black blood. The black mist escaping from his body became lighter and thinner, and his physical condition instantly dropped significantly.

The boat still didn't move.

Suddenly, there was a crash, and the prison crow trembled. He turned around and saw a black fish swimming around the black nest on the sea surface.

"Odd-colored fish?!" The prison crow was shocked.

The sea is vast, mostly herring. The color is not blue, they are all heterochromatic fish.

The heterochromatic fish are truly mythical.

Some participants in the war ate white fish, awakened their immortal bodies, and could listen to the voice of the [Sage and Immortal].

The combatants who ate the purple fish were directly transformed into saints, and the blood concentration of the [Saint and God] in their bodies was close to that of the Saint's parent and child, the True Dragon!

And right in front of it is a fish of different colors!

"The ship's hull is motionless. Is it because of the heterochromatic fish?" The prison crow swallowed, feeling nervous and uneasy in the face of the unknown, but also excited and ecstatic.

do not care!

The snakehead fish is so close that there is no need to fish at all, it is directly caught.

Although Blackfish struggled, he could not escape the claws of the prison crow.

The prison crow observed for a while, but the hull still did not move. It stared at the black fish in the black nest for a long time, and then swallowed it in one gulp.

boom! !

The prison crow cannot sense changes in the physical body, and its spiritual sense travels through time and space to the time when the prison crow clan was born.

It saw a nest of eggs and a snake coming.

The male bird went out to look for food, and the female bird responsible for incubating the eggs had to leave the nest and fight with the snake.

At this moment, black mist surged from the bird's nest. When the black mist dissipated, the eggs all turned black.

After the mother bird drove away the snake, she continued to incubate the eggs without any doubts when they turned black.

Soon, the female and male birds gradually turned black and became stronger and stronger. After the eggs in the nest were born, they turned into black mist-shaped birds, with no body!

"This is my ancestor?" Prison Crow couldn't believe it.

The Prison Crow clan is very famous in the civilization circle to which it belongs. The Prison Crow ancestor imprisoned countless masters and once stained the galaxy with blood!

The first ancestors turned out to be just a few mortal birds that were infected by the black mist for a moment.

What is this black mist? !

The fragments of time faded away, and the prison crow came back to his senses. It had become a black mist bird, a prison itself.

Countless magical powers emerge from the depths of memory.

The bloodline is still not as good as the real dragon, but it is also incredibly powerful. The previous 'black prison body' is far from comparable to now!

The ecstasy in the prison crow's heart almost burst.

With its blood returning to its ancestors, the magical powers in its mind, and countless additional methods, this fifth holy city cannot defeat it!

Even the twelve saints in the eighth holy city may not have no chance.

It opened its eyes, scared to death.

Densely packed, countless black fish surround the black nest, and all the fish eyes as black as the abyss stare at it.

The prison crow stumbled back, away from the edge of the black nest, and there was no longer any joy in returning to its ancestors.

"Get out!" It was furious out of fear and struck mercilessly.

The sea swallows the spirit, and the magical powers in its mind cannot save it.

It tried to fly away, leaving the black nest, traveling thousands of miles in an instant, but the closer it got to the thirty-second limit, the greater the panic in its heart, and the sense of destruction came over it.

It can only return to the Kuroshio.

I tried my best to get rid of these black fish, but there was nothing I could do.

"Okay, okay, you can deliver it to the door yourself!" The prison crow felt that he was crazy, but he was very calm.

It gulped down as many black fish as there were.

The black mist is getting thicker and thicker, and time fragments appear again and again. What I thought was the bloodline of the first ancestor has gone one step further!

After eating thousands of black fish, the prison crow saw a figure in the fragments of time.

The thick human-shaped black mist sat in the chaotic void.

The humanoid Black Mist holds a crystal ball in his hand.

When the prison crow looked at the crystal ball, he saw that inside the ball was a parallel time and space universe, and the prison crow's ancestor was just a small creature in the parallel time and space universe.

Because they gained the power of the black mist in human form, the ancestors of the Hellcrow clan transcended and entered the real world.

Playing with parallel time and space universes, such a method is a saint!

Look at the saint and die.

In the fifth holy city, the boundless sea, the black mist of the Hell Crow swelled instantly, and the next moment, it collapsed silently.

The black nest of the boat sank slowly, the black fish dispersed, and the sea remained calm.

Another half year has passed, and fewer and fewer participants have left messages in the live broadcast room.

"We were cheated, we were cheated!"

"There must be something wrong with the fifth city!"

"The combatants who showed off their bloodline are all gone!"

"Help."

Panic is spreading.

All the creatures in the universe just watched, feeling chilled.

In the end what happened?

◇

Li Changzhou and four other people came out of seclusion.

Half a year is only enough time to digest the explosive inspiration of the "Xuan Gong of Creation and Annihilation" for the first time. If you want to go further, it will take a long time.

After leaving seclusion, they naturally began to pay attention to the situation in the fifth city.

"It's so weird, everything suddenly disappeared." Yaochi frowned, her hair as white as fresh snow, and she had a sacred awe.

"And there are no rules. No matter whether you eat fish or not, or whether you go to Wuying Island or not, something will happen." Li Qianxia went in and out of various live broadcast rooms, listened to the analysis of knowledgeable live broadcasters, and read the messages of sentient beings.

There are numerous speculations, but none that have been actually verified.

"Huh?" Li Qianxia discovered a live broadcast room, and the name was actually "Tathagata".

Click in and take a look, it turns out to be Sakyamuni!

"Brother! Look! Buddha is on live broadcast!"

Li Qianxia was obviously more interested in Buddha's live broadcast than what Buddha said.

Who would have thought that the legendary gods and Buddhas would become internet celebrities?

However, as long as he lives long, Buddha must also adapt to the development of the times.

All four of them entered the live broadcast room, and they could only say that they were worthy of Tathagata. The live broadcast room was different, as if they had left the Fourth Holy City and came to Lingshan Mountain.

The sky is full of golden auspicious clouds, and countless spectators stand on top of the auspicious clouds.

The Tathagata appeared with the body of the ten thousand-foot-long Buddha, sitting upright in the center, holding the seal of wisdom.

Yang Qinglan stood on a golden cloud, holding Ruyi in her arms, looking around, and whispered: "The power of faith."

The golden Buddha light shone on her, and she looked like a goddess.

She stared at Tathagata's golden body, studying it, hoping to learn from it.

Li Changzhou once told her that the Tathagata relied on the power of faith to cultivate the 'primordial golden body of faith', which was equivalent to Li Huoya's original fire tree and was one of the strongest physiques in the world.

Although it requires a steady stream of faith to prevent decline and cause and effect, it is still a peerless secret that conquers the world.

Buddha didn't care about everyone's comments and said with a smile:

"I am the Venerable Sakyamuni of the Lingshan Paradise, and my name is Tathagata. I have entered the sixth level."

The noisy crowd suddenly became as quiet as ice.

The Buddha continued: "I once listened to the sermon in front of the seat of the Taoist sage, and heard the Taoist sage say that there is a mother sea in the world, called the mother's womb of heaven and earth, and all things come from it. This fifth level is the mother's womb of heaven and earth.

"We, the bodies of heavenly spirits, want to escape from the mother's womb, but the only way is to ripen the body and fall off."

After saying that, the ten thousand-foot-long golden body stepped back and disappeared into the billowing golden auspicious clouds.

Before anyone could react, they were kicked out of the illusion.

"Is this gone?"

"What are you talking about!"

"The fruit is ripe and the body has fallen off? It means born from the mother's womb? But it is clear how she was born!"

"I thought Tathagata was a good person. It turned out that he was the master of some kind of paradise. He must have relied on his sensual dogs and horses to maintain his original position."

"Don't talk nonsense. The Buddhist Paradise has a different meaning from the Paradise of your civilization."

"This Tathagata is so strong, it's already the sixth level!"

"Oh, when he reaches the seventh level, he will be defeated by 'Eternal Invincible'."

"Although I don't understand it, thank you Buddha for the ten thousand people who have devoted their faith to it!"

Li Changzhou, Yang Qinglan, and Yaochi turned off their live broadcasts, leaving only Li Qianxia on the platforms of major live broadcasters.

"There are so many rewards, Lan Lan. If you start a live broadcast, the power of faith will probably explode!" she said while watching.

Of course she was talking to herself, because no one paid any attention to her.

"The saint left the "Xuan Gong of Creation or Annihilation" here. It seems that he went to the mother's womb of heaven and earth." Li Changzhou said.

"What does it mean when the melon is ripe and the stem falls off?" Yaochi pondered.

Li Qianxia casually guessed: "Does it mean gaining enough secret power?"

Yang Qinglan slowly shook his head, thinking, and said: "The 'ship' in the fourth city must be the key to passing through the fifth city."

Li Changzhou thought of his ship.

"The body is the boat, the ideal is the compass needle, and the hard work is the sail. I have a guess."

The three of them looked at him.

Three beautiful, bright and delicate faces.

“The ripeness of the melon means that when the conditions or time are ripe, things will naturally succeed, and for a baby to be born from the mother’s womb, there are two conditions – first, the body is mature; second, it is conscious.

"But this is the womb of heaven and earth, the sea of ​​secrets. It is not an ordinary woman giving birth to a child. The conditions must be slightly changed - first, the boat must meet the standards; second, the will must be firm, that is, the Taoist heart cannot be rushed."

Li Qianxia thought about it and said subconsciously: "Then we were stable?"

"This is just a guess based on what Tathagata said," Yang Qinglan said. "It's still unclear where the disappeared people have gone, and what the role of the fish in Wuying Island and the Sea of ​​Secrets is."

Yaochi added: "How can a ship be considered 'up to standard'? How can a will be considered firm? Does it need to be tested? I don't know this yet."

"No matter what, it's time for us to set off." Li Changzhou said, "We can't stop because of danger, otherwise even if we pass the fifth city, when we get to the sixth city, we will wait for the people who entered the seventh city to reveal the news."

Even Yaochi who insisted that 'living is the most important thing' nodded.

She insists that 'living is the most important thing', in order to become a 'winner', not because she is really greedy for life and afraid of death.

No matter how ‘living is the most important thing’, we cannot retreat in fear of difficulties, sit back and enjoy the success, and lose our fighting spirit.

"Let's go!" Li Changzhou said.

The original sacred tree turned into a flying boat, suspended in front of the four people.

When Li Qianxia went up, she said: "The original sacred tree is your true body, brother. Are we stepping on you like this?"

"With cold brows and cold eyes, I bow my head and am willing to be my sister." Li Changzhou stepped onto the flying boat.

"Hahaha!" Li Qianxia smiled like a little fool.

Yang Qinglan smiled and curled her lips. She understood the "girl" in "Be willing to be a girl" to mean "girl", not Li Qianxia specifically.

In her eyes, Li Changzhou's words were just to lick the dog.

Yaochi is not interested in children's playthings.

Dressed in the Heavenly Will Armor, it wrapped her tightly, and the perfectly shaped armor had a divine quality to it.

She raised her hand and smashed the void near the Chaos Taoist platform. Chaos energy flowed into it, and even the chaotic human form disappeared.

The saint's relics were destroyed by her.

"Afraid of one's own poverty and worried about the wealth of others." Li Changzhou commented.

This is retaliation for saying that his poetry - if it can be considered poetry - is bad.

"Husband, who are you talking to?" A delicate voice came from the sacred and majestic armor.

"Talking to no one, just talking to myself."

The flying boat levitated and disappeared into the fourth city.

◇

Some people say that the fifth city is the blue sea. The so-called blue sea is the emerald-colored sea.

But in the fifth city where Li Changzhou and the four of them were, what they saw was more like a blue sea, with everything they could see being blue.

Li Changzhou's original flying boat can be big or small. He kept the flying boat at a size that would not hinder four people from walking back and forth.

The lone light on the bow of the ship was bright, and even in the clear day, it was still a bit dazzling.

You can clearly feel the flying boat moving forward, but strangely, there are no waves left behind.

"Would you like to try fishing?" Li Qianxia asked excitedly.

Upon entering the Fifth Holy City, each combatant will receive a fishing rod, which can be taken out directly in his own consciousness when needed.

"Don't worry yet." Li Changzhou looked towards the horizon.

There, there is a strange little dot.

"What's wrong?"

"Did you see something?"

None of the three could match his eyesight.

"It might be a person, or it might be Wuying Island." Li Changzhou thought about where to go, and the flying boat rushed in that direction.

There was a sudden movement in his heart.

Could this be related to strong will?

Ignore all the temptations of the fifth city and always think of ‘going to the sixth level’, and the ship will go to the sixth level.

It's not that simple.

If this were the case, those participants who were frightened and just wanted to leave would have reached the sixth level long ago.

The flying boat was not far away, and Li Changzhou saw it clearly.

"It's a foggy island."

Soon, the three of them also saw clearly.

It's a lonely island, and it's not big. It's probably only big enough for three or five people to stand on it.

There is an octopus-shaped black mist in the center of the island, and there is a treasure chest in the black mist.

"I feel like I'm playing an adventure game." Li Qianxia said.

"It's a value game." Li Changzhou reminded her.

As the flying boat approached, the octopus Heiwu in the center of the island spoke like an NPC:

"One for you and one for me. We bet on the treasures. The winner takes all. The one who wishes will go to the island."
