Mortal Bones

"boom!"

Almost at the same time that a strong feeling of fear appeared in Xu Taiping's heart, an extremely magnificent aura wave spread from Li Daoyan's body.

However, what made Xu Taiping feel horrified was that the terrifying aura emanating from Li Daoyan was no longer as clean and pure as before, but was filled with a terrifying evil aura.

"No, it won't, right?"

An extremely terrifying thought suddenly emerged in Xu Taiping's mind.

Almost at the same time that this thought came to his mind, one after another, scales made of black crystals began to emerge from Li Daoyan's body.

In just a short moment, both of his arms were completely covered.

At this moment, the terrible suspicion in Xu Taiping's mind suddenly became a reality - "Li Daoyan, who killed the real body of the Yuan Lord, was possessed by the Yuan Lord, and this was the last back-up plan of the Yuan Lord."

At the same time, Li Daoyan's voice suddenly sounded in Xu Taiping's mind——

"Little guy, you saw it."

Li Daoyan continued in a tired voice:

"From beginning to end, everything in the cave in the Golden Court is a scam, a scam carefully planned by the Yuan Lord."

"Except for the 30,000 sailors who entered this place by mistake at first, the human monks who later entered the cave in the Golden Court were all lured here by the Yuan Lord himself."

Hearing this, Xu Taiping was shocked.

But immediately, all the shock in his heart turned into confusion.

So he immediately sent a message and asked:

"Senior, why does this Yuan Master want to lure human monks to come and kill him?"

"What does this have to do with you being possessed by this Yuan Lord now?"

Just when he wanted to ask Li Daoyan why he said that, he heard Li Daoyan in the distance suddenly shouted at the owner of Yi Zhu Building:

"Kong Yizhu, hurry!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the figure of the owner of the Lost Pearl Tower suddenly turned into a ray of white light and shot into the spirit pearl on Li Daoyan's chest.

Immediately afterwards, a mighty aura burst out of Li Daoyan's body with a "boom".

Immediately afterwards, the owner of Yizhu Hall used Li Daoyan's body to shout loudly: "The evil will not prevail against the good!"

At the same time as this sound sounded, the owner of Yi Zhu Tower threw out all the ten remaining saint bamboo slips on his body.

In an instant, the ten mantras transformed into large gilded characters "Evil will not suppress good" began to swirl around Li Daoyan's body.

Immediately, the growth rate of the black crystal scales on Li Daoyan's body began to become very slow.

Seeing this, Li Daoyan first let out a "huh" and took a long breath, then grinned "hehe" and said:

"Lord Yuan Zhu, how do you feel about the awe-inspiring aura of a human scholar?"

As if responding to Li Daoyan, the ground in this world suddenly shook violently.

Seeing this, Li Daoyan said to the Master of Yi Zhu Tower without changing his expression:

"Kong Yizhu, you are ready."

Immediately, Kong Yizhu's voice sounded from Li Daoyan's mouth:

"It's already been prepared!"

As he said that, he raised his hand and grabbed the "Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" in the air, grabbing all the spiritual power and awe-inspiring aura in the "Ten Thousands of Miles of Rivers and Mountains" in his hands.

Then, he was seen writing slowly in front of him using his fingers as his pen, using awe-inspiring aura and spiritual power as ink.

He wrote very slowly, but with each stroke, the scales on Li Daoyan's body that were transformed into black crystals would slow down a bit.

And when he was about to write the first word of the mantra, the word "body", completely, the black crystal scales on Li Daoyan's body stopped growing completely.

Seeing this scene, Xu Taiping was extremely sure that Li Daoyan must have seen something with the "sky viewing" power of Kunwu Sword.

Otherwise, it would never be possible to be so calm when facing the Yuan Lord's seizure.

"call!……"

Li Daoyan let out a long breath like a prisoner whose shackles were removed.

Then, he stopped transmitting messages and stood far away and said to Xu Taiping: "Don't worry, little guy, I will answer your question right away."

As he spoke, Li Daoyan held the hilt of the Kunwu Sword with both hands, and then with a "chila" sound, he inserted the entire Kunwu Sword into his chest.

At the same time, the thunder flames on Kunwu's sword began to cover his whole body.

After doing all this, Li Daoyan raised his head again and looked at Xu Taiping, who was stunned and said:

"This Yuan Lord lures human monks into the Jinting Cave one after another to kill himself, just to complete its final ritual of opening the passage between the Ten Abyss and the Upper Pure Realm."

"Once his true body transformed from the mysterious crystal is destroyed, this ritual will be considered complete."

Xu Taiping asked puzzledly:

"What ceremony?"

Li Daoyan nodded, and then replied:

"A ritual that deceives heaven."

Li Daoyan continued to explain:

"The world where our Shangqing Realm is located has always followed the most basic laws of heaven."

"This law of heaven means that there are flaws in the way of heaven, and there are flaws in all things."

Xu Taiping was startled when he heard this. He had heard someone mention this law of heaven more than once.

Fairy Lingyue mentioned it to him.

Emperor Xuanhuang also mentioned it to him.

At this time, Li Daoyan's voice sounded again——

"Before entering our world, the Yuan Lord naturally does not need to follow this law, but after entering this world, it will be bound by this law just like us."

"Especially after he seized the power of Xirang and began to become more and more powerful, the constraints imposed by the Heavenly Dao became greater and greater."

"If he continues to be so powerful, he will be like the cultivator who broke through the Jingtian realm, and he may be wiped out by the Heavenly Tribulation at any time."

"But at that time, he could neither escape to the outside of the sky nor seal his own power."

"So in order to avoid the punishment of heaven, he first created a real body with a huge flaw, and then began to deliberately lead the human cultivators to kill him."

"In order to kill him, the human cultivators began to enter the Jinting Cave Heaven generation after generation, and finally set up this Ten Thousand Gods Array, which made the Yuan Lord fall into a deep sleep."

"Little did they know that this Ten Thousand Gods Array seemed to seal the Yuan Lord."

"But in fact, it helped it successfully avoid the Heavenly Tribulation."

After listening to Li Daoyan's explanation, Xu Taiping was shocked and had many questions.

So he hurriedly asked Li Daoyan:

"But, after the formation of the Ten Thousand Immortals, this Yuanzhu was really sealed and fell asleep. Isn't he afraid of backfiring?"

Li Daoyan replied:

"It naturally thought of this."

When Li Daoyan said this, the evil aura fluctuations on his body suddenly spread out again with a "boom".

But fortunately, the owner of the Pearl Tower also wrote the second word of his mantra at this time - "death".

In an instant, the evil aura on Li Daoyan's body was suppressed again.

So Li Daoyan continued to explain to Xu Taiping:

"In order to avoid making things worse, this Yuanzhu planted a 'body-taking' force in his real body. Once the real body is broken, the person who kills his real body will become his next body."

Xu Taiping was still puzzled:

"Since you know this, why do you still want to kill the real body?"

Li Daoyan smiled and asked back:

"Do you want it to take the Earth Fruit as its real body?"

Hearing this, Xu Taiping was frightened and broke into a cold sweat.
