Chapter 863 Catch all in one net (1)
"You can only take one step at a time!" Xu Changqing finally didn't have a certain decision, so he could only go through a vague way. However, this decision was also considered a decision. However, he had always looked down upon this decision, who liked to take one step at a time and counted ten steps. He did not expect that he would make such a decision that would be without opinions and leave it to fate.
Thinking of this, Xu Changqing couldn't help but smile and sigh.
After calming down a little, Xu Changqing threw the green-faced giant who had turned into the original form into the universe in his palm, untied his restraints, and surrounded him and the Thunder God demon. Originally, Xu Changqing was planning to ask about their names and origins, and even what kind of medicine they were good at, so that they could do some corresponding treatment before sending them into the Blood Mist World. However, the affairs of the Ancient Demon Temple made his mood a little bad, and he had no previous game-like emotions. It was his current plan to capture these demon clan powerhouses as soon as possible and go to the Great Temple.
Although we were unable to find the exact news about the Dowen Hall from the green-faced giant, the causes of these demon clans intercepting themselves, and their current locations, were well preserved because they did not involve the Dowen Hall, and were all discovered by Xu Changqing.
As Xu Changqing guessed, Xuan Yuantian was involved in the internal power struggle of the Immortal Palace this time. Although there were many families of immortal palace forces involved, in general, there were only two factions, one was the reformist faction headed by Wen Yueyan in the Great Saint Temple, and the other was the conservative faction headed by Kunpeng Temple. Both factions had their own supporters, but from the overall perspective, it seemed that the situation in Kunpeng Temple was dominant.
Behind the Kunpeng Hall, the Tianchi Dragon Clan, one of the four sages, can be said to have expressed support very clearly. The Supreme Elder Hall also helped it openly and secretly. In addition, its own Dapeng Clan and the surrounding God Lord Hall and the demon family are more powerful than Wen Yueyan in terms of overall strength.
If Kong Daomiao had not been in seclusion, the situation might be much better for Wen Yueyan. After all, Kong Daomiao alone was enough to suppress the Supreme Elder Hall, and the Dragon Clan of Tianchi would not dare to blatantly support Kunpeng Hall. However, what went against his wish was that Kong Daomiao was in seclusion at this time. He even spread the idea of intentional transmission of the throne, which made some forces that originally supported Wen Yueyan began to sway. If Kong Daomiao had not clearly conveyed the message to express his support for Wen Yueyan's successor to the position of the palace master, the situation in the Great Temple might have been even worse.
Although the Great Temple has stabilized the situation now, it is powerless to take care of the outside world. From her invitations to Xu Changqing, even those who sent the respondents to Xiao Yuntian could not do it, it can be seen that the Great Temple is in a dilemma. No wonder in the memory of the Green-faced Giant, most of the powerful cultivators in the Immortal Palace are optimistic about the Kunpeng Palace. Obviously, from the surface situation, the Kunpeng Palace's advantage is not a little stronger.
However, all this is about to change now. The appearance of Xiang Quan, the leader of the Poison Dragon clan, was like a sharp blade inserted into the vital points of the conservatives. This knife not only severely damaged the energy of the conservatives, but also caused the strong posture they showed to the outside to collapse. As long as Wen Yueyan seized the opportunity, it would not be difficult to completely suppress the conservatives in the Immortal Palace.
The timing of Xiang Quan's appearance was so clever. Just as the forces of the Great Temple gathered together, it carried out a heavy blow to Kunpeng Palace that could shake its foundation. If Xu Changqing expected it was not bad, the Great Temple should have taken action soon. Thinking of Xiang Quan's use of unknown external forces to improve his cultivation level within one day, Xu Changqing felt that Xiang Quan's affairs should be related to the Great Temple, and even a person's name Kong Daomiao appeared clearly in his mind.
Looking back on the time when Kong Daomiao appeared in him, Xu Changqing didn't think there was anything strange at first, but now he felt something strange. After all, he didn't plan to ride the floating cloud boat and enter the Yunye Plain at the beginning, but was preparing to go to Xuanyuantian alone. At the speed of his flowing light, he should have entered Xuanyuantian now and was about to reach the Great Temple. The reason why he changed his mind was that he had seen Kong Daomiao, possessed by Bai Jingxu, in Yunding City. Thinking of this, Xu Changqing couldn't help but recall that the inexplicable friendship after seeing Xiang Quan, and even so generously handed over the explosion of Yuandan to Xiang Quan, which was really not in line with his previous behavior.
"Haha! It seems that I was a little careless." Although Xu Changqing had no suspicious evidence that he was tricked by Kong Dao and treated it as a chess piece to attack Kunpeng Palace, he could vaguely feel that things should be the same as he guessed. However, he was not angry about it, but instead felt an inexplicable sense of pride and identity.
The internal struggle in the Immortal Palace was just an accident for Xu Changqing. No matter whether he continued to participate or not, the Kunpeng Palace would regard him as an enemy. For most powerful people in the Immortal Palace, and even himself, he should have been involved in the internal struggle in the Immortal Palace. Fortunately, he was just a piece that unintentionally promoted the development of things and could get out at any time. With his strength, as long as he remained neutral to the outside world, neither Wen Yueyan nor Wantontian would want to offend him and would pull him into it again.
Xu Changqing could already feel Kong Daomiao's intentions. Kong Daomiao was always claiming to support Wen Yueyan as the next Immortal Palace Lord, and even the entire Immortal Palace believed this, including Xu Changqing before. But now Xu Changqing doesn't see this anymore. Judging from all the signs, Kong Daomiao probably wanted to drag him into the internal struggle of the Immortal Palace Lord, and secretly pushed him step by step to the position of the Immortal Palace Lord.
Thinking of this, Xu Changqing couldn't help but smile bitterly. He didn't understand what Kong Daomiao was doing this. He wanted to make up for his debts, give him years of compensation, make him the top-level existence of the Kunlun Three Realms, or have other intentions. No matter what, he was not going to participate in the matters in the Immortal Palace. When Xuan Yuantian's affairs were done, he would let Zhu Yan return to the Demon Temple, or even simply enter the forbidden area of the War Demon Cliff and announce his retreat so as not to be involved in other things.
While thinking about things, Xu Changqing had already arrived at the entrance of the Blade Fen Gorge located on the edge of the Yunye Plain.
This Blade Fender Gorge is the only exit of Yunye Plain here and is also the fastest fellow traveler to enter Xuanyuantian. As long as you pass through here, you will enter Xuanyuantian. The terrain of Blade Fender Gorge is almost the same width, and the entire cliff is straight upward, directly into the sky and connected to the highest Knife Peak here.
According to legend, this Blade Fighting Gorge was made by the powerful demon clan in the ancient Immortal Palace to split the mountain with a treasure of the prehistoric treasure. The treasure shattered after use, but the spirituality of the treasure did not disappear, but instead entered the Blade Fighting Gorge. Therefore, a blade-like gale was always occupied above the Blade Fighting Gorge and even the entire knife peak. It would be fine if only one or two such gale winds, but the ordinary Hedao Earth Immortal, or even the Return Void Immortal, can survive by force, but the problem is that such gale wind is endless and continuous. Once you fall into it, even the strongest immortal will find it difficult to get out. The only way to walk here is to pass from the bottom of the Blade Fighting Gorge. No matter how powerful the gale wind is above, the bottom seems to be protected by some invisible force, and there will be no danger.
The formation of this gale may be profound and difficult to understand in the eyes of ordinary demon clans, but it is clear in Xu Changqing's eyes. Although the legend about the formation of the Blade Fighting Gorge is not so reliable, it cannot be completely fake. At least in the legend, the Blade Fighting Gorge was made of a supernatural treasure to split the mountain, which should be true. Moreover, Xu Changqing also recognized the treasure of splitting the mountain and was very familiar with it. The treasure was the Four Swords of Zhu Xian.
It is not difficult to speculate that the person who split the mountain back then should be the ancestors of the Tianchi Dragon Clan. After all, only the Tianchi Dragon Clan in the entire Immortal Palace has one of the four sword formation diagrams of Zhuxian. Although I don’t know how the other party did this, Xu Changqing could roughly infer a general situation. The Tianchi Dragon Clan's strong man accidentally triggered a trace of the four swords of Zhuxian contained in the formation diagram, thus splitting the mountain. However, the dragon clan's strong man should not be able to withstand the backlash of this sword intent. His body and soul were gone, and the sword intent of Zhuxian, which was not retracted, was integrated into this gale wind formed by the huge gap between the two heavenly spiritual energy, and finally became what he is now.
In a certain aspect, the situation around the Blade Fen Gorge in front of you is similar to the situation where the Wusheng Wasteland of Neimen Lingshan was formed. It was just a broken sword intent of just the four swords of Zhuxian, and the other was the sword energy derived from the fragments of Zhuxian Sword. The strength and weakness are incomparable.
After thousands of years of continuous elimination, the incomplete sword intent in the gale wind is almost exhausted. At that time, this passage to Xuanyuantian will probably be destroyed.
The reason why this narrow mountain stream passage is the fastest route to Xuanyuantian is because of the gale wind around the Blade Fen Gorge. Because of the existence of these gale winds, there is a gap here in the heaven and earth barrier that separates Xuanyuan Tian and Xiaoyuntian. People coming and going here do not need to spend extra time, power and resources to open a temporary passage and travel through the two places. However, the power of truly opening up the gap is not the spiritual gale wind, but the sword intent of the Zhuxian Four Swords in the spiritual gale wind. Once the sword intent disappears, the power of the gale wind will inevitably fall to the level of different spiritual gale winds. At that time, the power of these two heaven barriers will gain the upper hand, and the gap will gradually be filled. In the end, like other channels passing through the two heavens, a temporary gap can only be opened through external forces.
