Killing Demons: Upgrading from Calligraphy

Breaking into the portal formed by the Qiongtianjidi Search Yuan Array, Qi Xiu felt a familiar smell from the hot and sandy wind blowing towards him.

The next moment!

An extremely violent storm swept in, and wisps of aura as sharp as divine swords spread out, landing on Qi Xiu's skin and instantly bursting into dazzling sparks.

"This is……"

Before Qi Xiu could frown, he saw the scene around him suddenly changed.

A surging river of myriad colors, with light and shadows changing all around, clearly showing all the changes between heaven and earth, splashing in all directions, like mercury-like water, each drop of which seems as heavy as a thousand pounds.

"The long river of time?"

His eyes flashed, and memories surged in Qi Xiu's mind. Records about the long river of time emerged in his mind.

"That portal actually leads directly to the River of Time?"

Before Qi Xiu could show any surprise in his eyes, the oncoming storm suddenly became even more violent, and every gust of wind had the terrifying power to split mountains and cut off rivers thousands of miles long.

With a solemn expression and realizing the terrifying power of the divine wind, Qi Xiu tried his best to revive the dragon blood in his body. The dark green light on his skin, which looked like dragon scales, became brighter and brighter.

ding ding ding-

The continuous divine wind blew on the dragon scales, and the continuous bursts of sparks caused tiny gaps and cracks to appear on the surface of the dragon scales, which then slowly repaired themselves.

But the speed of repair is slightly slower than the speed of damage.

Frowning and looking at the gradually damaged dragon scales, Qi Xiu's eyes flickered, and he hesitated whether to reveal his true body and use the Haotian Mirror to resist this strange and dangerous divine wind.

But at this moment, the proficiency in his field of vision changed miraculously.

After transforming into a real dragon, all the methods mastered by his real body on the proficiency panel have disappeared.

In addition to the art of looking at qi, the incarnation, and the dragon power spell of spontaneous revival.

The proficiency panel of the True Dragon Body is empty.

However, as the dragon scale light was constantly eroded by this divine wind, it repeated the process of being damaged and repaired.

A new line of words gradually appeared on the proficiency panel.

[Blue Dragon Scale (Level 4.7): %]

"Can this still happen?"

Qi Xiu had never expected that the light of dragon scales would trigger a miraculous level of proficiency.

After all, all the skills on the proficiency panel of my true self are acquired through learning.

However, the glow of dragon scales is the instinctive magic of a true dragon, just like the protective energy that protects the body when entering the realm of Tao.

Logically speaking, it shouldn't cause such a miraculous increase in proficiency.

“Perhaps, my control over the body of a true dragon is still only at a superficial level.

He was once the protagonist of the world and the ruler of all races.

Even though I only have 60% of the bloodline, I am a true dragon.

But judging by the power I currently possess, it seems a little unworthy of the name. "

With his eyes flickering, Qi Xiu decided in his heart that after the situation stabilized, he might go to the Shouxing Realm in advance to meet the fifth prince of the East China Sea Dragon Palace.

I want to unleash the full power of my true dragon body.

The best way is to ask another real dragon for advice!

The light of dragon scales appeared on the proficiency panel, which meant that the magical power of hard work must be rewarded was also applied to this magical power.

In the erosion of the divine wind and the self-repair of the dragon scale light.

The proficiency number behind the panel began to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon reached 100% of the first level.

hum-

The green light vibrates and the dragon scales turn red.

The dragon scales that had already become mottled and broken under the dangerous divine wind instantly became intact.

The shape of the dragon scales also underwent subtle changes.

The defense of the dragon scale light that has been upgraded to the second level has greatly increased. Although it will still be damaged by the attack of the divine wind, it is much more resilient than before, and the speed of repair can barely keep up with the speed of damage.

Seeing that he was safe and temporarily unharmed, Qi Xiu gave up the idea of ​​transforming into his true body and instead looked carefully at the surrounding environment.

“Zhenzun Yuehai planned such a big plan that he was willing to offend the entire Liaodong family in order to set up that big formation.

It leads to the long river of time.

But as a Yuanshen Zhenzun, you already have the means to freely enter and exit the Long River of Time, so why do you need to go through this trouble?"

It was the first time that Qi Xiu entered the long river of time. He was curious and wondered why Yue Hai Zhenzun took off his pants to fart.

I don’t know how long I have been drifting in this long river of time.

Qi Xiu's initial curiosity gradually turned into indifference.

Under the blowing and polishing of the Divine Wind of Time, the realm of the dragon scale's light has risen to the fourth realm. The Divine Wind that was once enough to threaten life can now only leave scratches on the surface of the dragon scales, which will soon be repaired and erased.

And in the process of continuous repair, the light of the dragon scales seemed to have absorbed the power of the divine wind of time. The originally dark blue bottom of the dragon scales began to faintly show a hint of color.

"At this rate, my dragon scale light will be polished to the ninth level sooner or later."

Just as Qi Xiu was wondering what power the dragon scale light of the Ninth Realm would have, and whether it would be as effective as the Haotian Mirror that was immune to all evil and indestructible to all calamities.

A large cloud of yellow fog suddenly rose up in the long river of time in front of him.

The fog came so fast and fiercely that before Qi Xiu could react, he was swept up in.

The surging yellow fog in front of him gradually dissipated. Qi Xiu narrowed his eyes and found himself in a bustling and bustling city filled with people.

This is……

Looking around, his eyes trembled slightly, Qi Xiu's pupils suddenly narrowed, and he exclaimed softly:

"The Ancient City That Never Sleeps?"

Looking at the familiar architectural style and layout around him, Qi Xiu quickly found the source from his complicated memories.

When he returned to the Tianyuan Realm from the Shouxing Realm, he accidentally came to the Qinlong Province. Through many coincidences, he learned that there was a Demon-Eating Sect's inheritance hidden in this province.

After going through various events, he finally came to the ancient city that never sleeps, which houses the inheritance of the Demon-Eating Sect and was once under the jurisdiction of the prosperous Tang Empire.

"I wonder if Tan Lang has completely absorbed all the resentment and malice from the God General's mind."

Qi Xiu blinked his eyes, not expecting that the portal opened by the Qiongtianjidi Search Yuan Array would actually lead to the Immortal Ancient City.

Although he defeated a number of opponents that year and successfully seized the opportunity to inherit the Demon-Eating Sect.

However, since the Demon-Eating Sect's inheritance at the time was very extensive, if it was taken away directly, it would bring about a lot of karma.

In addition to the Demon-Eating Heritage, he also wanted to take away the thoughts of the God General in this ancient city that never sleeps.

The plan at that time was to use this divine general thought as a support to survive the great catastrophe of his Taoist body.

But perhaps it was because Tan Lang absorbed the resentment and malice too slowly, or perhaps the resentment and malice in the God General's thoughts were too strong, and until now, he had not taken away the God General's thoughts.

Now that he has come to this ancient city that never sleeps again, he has just the right opportunity to take away the Demon-Eating Heritage and the Godly General's thoughts.

But something seems to be wrong with this immortal ancient city...

Looking at the people passing by him, many of whom were looking at him with curiosity, Qi Xiu frowned.

If I remember correctly...

There seems to be no living people in the Immortal Ancient City...

There was a flash of purple in his eyes, and Qi Xiu glanced at the people coming and going in front of him. Men, women, young and old all showed a normal vitality.

Obviously, he is just an ordinary mortal.

This is undoubtedly the ancient city that never sleeps, my memory cannot be wrong, but this was clearly a dead city before, why are there suddenly so many living people here?

Full of doubts, Qi Xiu began to walk with the crowd in this ancient city.

It’s such a big city, and it’s very bustling.

Peddlers, merchants and servants.

It looked like a perfectly normal city, but the more so, the more Qi Xiu felt confused.

This was obviously very different from the ancient city that never sleeps in his memory.

The strangeness in his heart also came from this surprise.

It was not until Qi Xiu accidentally swept across the wall of a bookstore on the street and saw an ink painting with a signature on it.

A line of small words instantly shattered the doubts in his heart and aroused greater astonishment.

[Written after a drink in the garden, July, the third year of Changyuan in the prosperous Tang Dynasty]

"The Great Tang Dynasty?"

Looking at the signature on the ink painting, Qi Xiu was distracted for a moment.

It all makes sense when you consider that this ancient city that was supposed to be a dead city suddenly became so lively and prosperous.

It’s not that there are suddenly people in the Never-Sleeping Ancient City.

Instead, he returned to the time period when there were people in this city.

“Controlling the cosmic light is an authority that only the Yuanshen Zhenzun can exercise.

But even a true soul cannot cross such a long river of time.

The prosperous Tang Dynasty is an era that is even older than the Medieval Period.

This Yue Hai Zhen Zun, what on earth does she want to do? "

After standing there for a while, Qi Xiu slowly came back to his senses.

He was inexplicably returned to an era whose records had been deliberately erased from history, which was obviously beyond his imagination.

"The most urgent thing is to find a way to go back."

Helplessly rubbing his wrist lightly, Qi Xiu turned around and looked at the surroundings where he felt out of place.

Before this trip, he never expected to be in such an embarrassing situation.

Looking at Hu Tianzong who was still sleeping in the mustard seed, Qi Xiu smiled and shook his head, hoping that you could accept this huge blow after waking up.

Qi Xiu put away the distracting thoughts in his mind, his eyes moved slightly, and his extremely powerful spiritual power spread out instantly, wanting to get a thorough understanding of all the situations in this ancient city.

……

"What, the heyday of the Tang Dynasty?!"

Hu Tianzong jumped up from the bed, his eyes wide open, and leaned against the window to look down in an extremely indecent posture.

When he saw the people on the street downstairs, they were wearing clothes that were completely different from the style of the current Daxuan Dynasty.

And obviously incomprehensible dialects.

With all the evidence before him, Hu Tianzong had to believe that they had indeed traveled through a very long period of time and returned to the prosperous Tang Dynasty, an era that few people knew about.

"It's so strange, how can the Great Array of Searching for Essence in the Sky and Earth have the effect of crossing the long river of time, and crossing such a long distance in an instant?

Isn't that the Great Formation for Searching the Heavens and Earth?"

Grasping his eyebrows, Hu Tianzong had a complicated expression on his face, and felt as if he was about to grow a brain.

"The formation should be correct. The problem should be with the person who set it up." Picking up a cup of rich and fragrant milk tea on the table, Qi Xiu took a sip and frowned.

Putting peppercorns in milk tea, which genius came up with this idea?

"What should we do? Crossing the long river of time is beyond our capabilities, unless we become a saint right here.

But even if he became a Venerable, it would be impossible for him to cross such a long river of time."

With a bitter grin, Hu Tianzong grabbed his disheveled hair. He really didn't expect that what was originally a not-that-dangerous mission would turn into such a complicated situation.

"The person who tied the bell should be the one to untie it. Whoever brought us here should be the one to send us back." Qi Xiu said calmly, putting down the tea bowl in his hand.

"You mean... Yue Hai Zhen Zun?"

Hu Tianzong frowned and crossed his legs:

"You mean she followed?"

"Well, after entering that portal, I felt her breath. She spent so much effort to create that formation. It is impossible for her to give up when she succeeded." Qi Xiu said.

"But even if we find her, what can we do? She is a True Spirit in her prime. Can we force her to take us back?" Hu Tianzong spread his hands and laughed.

"Man makes the plan, God disposes the outcome, so you have to give it a try.

"The True Master Yue Hai has set up such a big plan, and she must have some ulterior motive. We just need to figure out what she wants, and then take a step towards her, and we will naturally have the bargaining chip to talk to her."

Qi Xiu's words also made Hu Tianzong nod.

"But this old woman is willing to offend my entire Liaodong Great Shaman lineage and activate the great formation. What is her purpose in coming to this era?"

In the room, the sound gradually died down.

Only Qi Xiu and Hu Tianzong's eyes were shining with brilliance.

After a while.

The two top geniuses looked up at the same time and gave the answers they had thought of.

"The inheritance of the prosperous Tang Dynasty!"

"We have gone to great lengths, even to the point of offending one of the world's greatest powers, to return to this era that contains such a huge secret.

In addition to the inheritance of the prosperous Tang Empire.

Nothing can make a Yuanshen Zhenzun so crazy and reckless! "

"That makes sense, then."

Qi Xiu tapped his fingers on the table beside him, his eyes solemn:

“The current problem is how to find Yue Hai Zhen Zun in this era.

After all, there is a huge gap between us. If she really wants to avoid us, it will be hard to find her."

"Don't worry, there will always be a way when you reach the mountain, and there will always be a way when you reach the bridge. There will always be a way..." Before Hu Tianzong finished his words, a loud earth-shaking noise was heard.

With a change of expression, Qi Xiu and Hu Tianzong immediately turned into a ray of divine light and came to the void, looking in the direction where the sound came from with all their eyes.

In the distance, above a desert Gobi, a surging magic light and fog that swept across the nine layers of the sky was madly eroding a bright and dazzling moon that radiated endless silver light.

The collision of the two forces was so powerful that it shook the area tens of thousands of miles around.

The entire ancient city that never sleeps was shaken, causing countless people in the city to panic.

"It's Yue Hai Zhen Zun and Xie Maitreya!"

Qi Xiu and Hu Tianzong smiled at each other and recognized at a glance that the two Yuanshen Zhenzun were the ones who caused the horrifying noise.

This road is here, isn’t it?
