Mortal Bones

Fairy Lingyue continued:

"The long river of time in the Sumeru Realm has only one section, and it will never reach the end."

"But the long river of time in the Shangqing Realm not only has countless branches, but some branches have ends."

"When I first came to the Pure Realm from the Sumeru Realm, I was puzzled by this for a long time. I even spent hundreds of years trying to find out the truth."

"But nothing amiss was ever found."

"The spirit bone monument and the long river of time, for the upper level of the cultivation world, are like the rain falling from the sky and the flowers blooming on the ground. They are ordinary existences."

"It wasn't until later, when I was ready to compete for the semi-immortal seat, that one of the spiritual bone tablet techniques I practiced on my body was abnormal, and I once again had doubts about the existence of this spiritual bone tablet."

Xu Taiping immediately asked:

"What's abnormal?"

Fairy Lingyue thought about it carefully, and then slowly said:

"That technique seems to have its own mind."

Xu Taiping's heart trembled and he said:

"A set of exercises gives you your own sanity?"

Fairy Lingyue nodded and said:

"Although I only had one thought, I still remember it clearly."

Xu Taiping asked: "What are you thinking?"

Fairy Lingyue replied: "Hungry."

"Hungry?" When Fairy Lingyue heard Xu Taiping's words, she immediately asked again:

"and after?"

Fairy Lingyue shook her head and said:

"Later, when I was competing with others for the seat of half-immortal, I was betrayed by the traitor. Fortunately, I left a soul in the earth fruit, and then I met you Taiping."

As she spoke, she turned to look at the huge bronze door on the side, and then continued:

"If Mr. Lu hadn't mentioned the sword-making method just now, I might never have thought of that idea unless I reached the Great Perfection again, let alone suspect that there was something wrong with the spiritual bone tablet."

Lu Daoxuan on the other side of the bronze door heard this and immediately smiled heartily and said:

"Actually, I don't know much about it. After all, let alone the Sumeru Realm, even I, Zhenwutian, have never left it in my life."

"I can understand this all because of the five elders of Taixuan who fled here with Qingxuan Sect."

"It was when they traveled around the world of the Shangqing Realm that they gradually discovered the anomalies in the Spiritual Bone Monument and the River of Time. It was precisely because of these anomalies that they discovered the secret of dealing with the Taixu Tribulation."

When he heard this, Xu Taiping seemed to understand why his master, Lu Daoxuan, was so happy after hearing that he had the copper of Shou Mountain.

So he tentatively expressed his guess to Lu Daoxuan:

"Master, the reason why you are so interested in the copper from the Shou Mountain is because the magic weapon forged by the sword-making method of Taixuan Sect's folding sword hall happened to be the answer to the Taixu calamity. A thing of calamity?”

After hearing Xu Taiping's speculation, Lu Daoxuan laughed happily and said:

"Good disciple, it really makes sense!"

Immediately, Lu Daoxuan continued to explain:

"According to the notes left by the Five Elders at that time, if you want to break this great catastrophe, the first step is to refine a magic weapon that is not bound by this world."

When he said this, Lu Daoxuan suddenly sighed and said helplessly:

"But Wu Lao was stuck on this first step back then and was unable to take the next step."

"Although they found a lot of copper from Shoushan back then, without exception, they were all tainted with the aura of heaven and earth in this world."

"But Taiping, your area is very pure, probably because it has been hidden in that arsenal."

Hearing this, Fairy Lingyue suddenly felt a little puzzled and said:

"Didn't the Five Elders ask the Emperor for this piece of copper from the Shou Mountain?"

Lu Daoxuan asked:

"Little Fairy, didn't you say that this piece of copper from Shoushan was not a gift from the Emperor, but most likely came from the Demon Ancestor?"

Fairy Lingyue was startled and suddenly woke up.

Lu Daoxuan continued:

"I suspect that the Emperor's arsenal, like the Dragon Clan's arsenal, was not originally owned by the Emperor or the Dragon Clan, but was a relic of an immortal mansion somewhere floating in the chaos outside the sky."

"The Demon Ancestor is not hiding in that arsenal, but in that ruins."

After hearing Lu Daoxuan's guess, Fairy Lingyue nodded with great approval and said:

"Yes, the Demon Ancestor is most likely the real owner of the arsenal."

After listening to the conversation between the two, Xu Taiping became more and more curious about Zhejian Tang's sword-making skills and the Taixu calamity, so he couldn't help but ask Lu Daoxuan:

"Master, what are the differences between Zhejian Tang's sword-making techniques?"

"Why is it said that the sword forged according to this technique will be the first step to break the catastrophe of Taixu?"

Soon, Lu Daoxuan's voice came from behind the bronze door again:

"Taiping, a true magic weapon, a true fairy sword, can give birth to a great law on the day it is forged."

Xu Taiping was a little confused when he heard this.

Because as far as he knew, the sixteen divine weapons on the spiritual bones also had the power of the laws of heaven.

So Xu Taiping said in confusion:

"But if the sixteen divine weapons on the spiritual bone monument are forged, wouldn't they also be able to give birth to the power of the laws of heaven?"

Lu Daoxuan smiled and replied:

"Taiping, that's not called nurturing, that's called borrowing."

The word "borrow" made Xu Taiping's heart tremble, and he suddenly understood something.

Then I heard Lu Daoxuan continue:

"Taiping, sixteen divine weapon pictures, sixteen heavenly laws, when did the great Dao of us cultivators become so small?"

Lv Daoxuan's voice was like a heavy fist, hammering heavily on Xu Taiping's body.

This was the first time he realized that there was something wrong with the Dao of this world!

And the fairy Lingyue beside him had a look of enlightenment in her eyes.

Then Lu Daoxuan said again:

"Taiping, if you can forge an innate divine weapon with the sword-forging method of Zhejiantang, it is equivalent to giving birth to the seventeenth great Dao law in this world."

"And this great Dao law is the first step for us to fight against the Taixu Quantity Disaster."

Hearing this, Xu Taiping immediately asked curiously again:

"Master, what exactly is this Taixu Quantity Disaster that requires us to treat it like this?"

The fairy Lingyue beside him also held her breath and concentrated, quietly waiting for Lu Daoxuan's answer.

After all, when he started practicing, Taixuan Sect had already disappeared in the Xumi Realm, and she didn't know the existence of the Taixu Calamity.

Lu Daoxuan seemed to be hesitating.

But after a moment of silence, he finally spoke:

"Taiping, there are only two things I can tell you about this Taixu Calamity."

"Speaking of it, if your divine consciousness is sensed by it, it will be directly erased from this world."

Xu Taiping's heart tightened when he heard it.

And Lu Daoxuan continued:

"First, the suffering that the world swallowed by this Taixu Calamity has to endure far exceeds the suffering of life and death, and for cultivators, it is an endless pain and torture."

As if he recalled something, Lu Daoxuan suddenly fell into a long silence.

But after a moment of silence, Lu Daoxuan finally spoke again:

"Second."

"The Great Void Calamity did not descend upon the Shangqing Realm."

"It was already devouring the Shangqing Realm long before the Taixuan Sect came to the Shangqing Realm."

"To be more precise."

"The Zhenwu Heaven where we are is the starting point of the Great Void Calamity."
