Sword Spirit became Bai Yueguang after going offline

Qi Ran wasn't sure whether Gu Lingxiao had noticed that he had taken Xuanyuan Sword away during the confrontation with the Donghuang Bell, but could only see... Gu Lingxiao's face became paler and paler, and the blood in the water at the end of his eyes became more and more obvious.

Qi Ran only felt that his fingertips were a little numb, tried his best to restrain the trembling, and took out the fragments of the Sky-Mending Stone.

Countless gazes fell on his palm—almost all the people who were deceived to the wrong place had already rushed over. They didn't dare to get too close, but it didn't prevent them from spying on the situation from afar.

The moment the Tiantian Stone was taken out, Gu Lingxiao's brows suddenly frowned even tighter, and Chaoyin let out a happy laugh in the distance: "Okay, Qi Ran, you quit Sanli, and then we will exchange at the same time, don't worry—your family The Qingqiu Yaozun is watching right here, and I can't do it even if I try to cheat."

Qi Ran took a deep look at Gu Lingxiao for the last time, remained silent, raised his breath and jumped back, stepping back.

Gu Lingxiao's slender and tall figure gradually became smaller in his eyes, and the bloodstains falling from the foggy white robe, like flowers blooming at the time of farewell, swayed and trembled under the gloomy sky.

The plain gray sky-filling stone and the mottled black long sword passed by in mid-air.

Qi Ran carefully caught Mo Yun with both hands, and handed it to Shen Songyue with an extremely complicated expression.

Shen Songyue didn't reach out her hand, but said in a hoarse voice: "Go down and find Gu Lingxiao now, before it's too late, he will forgive you."

Going down to find him can only be blocked for a while, just like how he and Gu Lingxiao discussed how to avoid the opportunity of ascension, but they were powerless to prevent the early birth of the Eastern Emperor Bell and the early arrival of the Land of Crack.

It can't stop Chaoyin from showing up and pushing everything faster and more urgently.

Now that all the clues and obstacles are suddenly clear, if you want to keep Gu Lingxiao, the top priority is definitely not to stay here to accompany Gu Lingxiao and cheer him up——

Even though Qi Ran knew in his heart how uneasy and worried Gu Lingxiao was about their feelings.

"..." Qi Ran took a deep breath, looked up at Shen Songyue and said, "Let's go, little brother, let's get out of here and go to a safe place."

Amongst the shadows of the trees, faint sneers came out one after another.

In about half an hour, the news that Burning Snow Sword Lord abandoned his Taoist companion who had gone through fire and water for him in exchange for the relics of his master's school that was just a thought, and even couldn't wait to run away, will spread all over the world.

His Taoist companion is none other than the rumored and speculated True Monarch Ling Xiao.

But Shen Songyue calmed down after meeting Qi Ran's eyes.

"Okay." After Shen Songyue took over Mo Yun, she immediately tore open the formation scroll, and disappeared from here with Qi Ran in an instant, leaving no trace for tracking.

The moment they left, two forces hit Chaoyin from different directions at the same time.

One is from Chu Qing, and the other is... from Gu Lingxiao who slowly opened his eyes.

"boom!--"

Huge fluctuations of spiritual power fell in the air like two huge peaks at the same time. Chaoyin held the sky-filling stone in one hand, and clinging to her natal piccolo in the other, with a look of determination in her eyes.

"Ugh-"

The blood-red sound wave condensed into substance, barely stopping the huge force that almost shattered her. Although it couldn't tear the opening for her to escape, it bought her time to activate the Sky-Mending Stone.

The gray fragments turned into powder in an instant, and a small cloud of dust flying up seemed unsurprising, but the dense dark clouds in the sky seemed to be drawn by an invisible vortex, forming the prototype of a storm directly above it.

"This! Is this Thunder Tribulation!" Feng Xuan cried out.

But Xu Ning stared at the north in a daze, and murmured: "No, no... how does the fluctuation of spiritual power seem to be attracted from the north—"

Before they could really figure it out, Chao Yin, Chu Qing, and Gu Lingxiao disappeared suddenly.

Xu Ning frowned, and twirled the Zen stick in half a circle in his hand, seeing that his figure was half hidden—Feng Xuan strode tens of feet in one step, and unexpectedly got on Xu Ning's ride with shamelessness.

In the dense forest below, the monks with a slightly more tactful mind immediately contacted the troops stationed in the extreme north of their own forces.

The secret room of the New Moon Demon Palace.

Shen Songyue opened all the hidden formations in the secret room with one palm, and looked back at Qi Ran: "Do you have any back-ups? Xiao Ran, what can you tell me?"

His little brother, who always had a bright smile on his face, showed an unspeakable bitterness. After opening and closing his lips several times, Fang said: "...Uncle Chu will transfer all his skills to Ling Xiao in the Sky-Mending Stone. , and Chaoyin, they all seem to think that Ling Xiao will be able to ascend soon."

"Direct transfer of power? Can this be done? The soul devouring and nourishing of the magic way are not as fast!" Shen Songyue shrank her pupils, frowned, and said, "...but if it can be done, Senior Chu's skill plus Gu Lingxiao's own is indeed only one step away from crossing the catastrophe."

Qi Ran nodded at him, and said softly: "As for our backhand...Little brother, I brought the Xuanyuan Sword from Ling Xiao, and I am going to refine it into my natal spirit sword."

"Xuanyuan Sword?" Shen Songyue was startled.

A few years ago, Shen Songyue directly broke Qi Ran's Tingxue sword in order to see if this ancient holy sword was worth taking for her own use.After looking at it at that time, he found that although Xuanyuan Sword did not have a sword spirit, it already had a lot of spirituality, and it was only for Gu Lingxiao, so he threw the sword back to Gu Lingxiao.

If it were someone else, it would be impossible to refine the Xuanyuan Sword, but Qi Ran... might be able to do it.

"Gu Lingxiao hasn't unlocked his... Dao Companion Spirit Deed? Then hurry up!" Shen Songyue didn't ask about the specific connection between Xuanyuan Sword and Gu Lingxiao's ascension, "Late changes, I still have a few here The sword pill can be used, you first—"

"No need," Qi Ran's eyes were calm and decisive, "I'll just use up the phantom blue moonlight lotus, little brother...let me take the risk, if it works, I'm [-]% sure that I can keep Ling Xiao. "

Shen Songyue clenched her fists unconsciously.

Of course, with Qi Ran's current cultivation at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, as a sword cultivator plus the blessings of Jianxin and Xuanyuan Sword, the actual combat power may be able to reach the edge of the Mahayana stage, even if Gu Lingxiao hates him because of love, the two People are also barely qualified for equal dialogue——

But what if the Xuanyuan sword backfires?What if you go crazy when casting the heart of the sword?In such a hasty situation, anyone could kill Qi Ran.

Shen Songyue wants Qi Ran to tell all his entanglements and doubts, all he can say, and the two of them will discuss it carefully, and then see if it is worth taking the risk...

But Qi Ran's eyes looking at him at this time clearly told him the answer in advance.

Even if there are thousands of wind and snow, he will not give up any ray of light he can catch.

Knowing that destiny is indisputable, one must fight until the last moment.

Shen Songyue closed her eyes, and the countless words finally turned into a few short words, saying: "Okay, I will protect you."

In the extreme north, on the endless snowfield.

In the thick black clouds, a bright beam of light suddenly shot out, pointing to the south like a fishing line, and then quickly retracted, as if a pair of invisible hands were anxiously tightening the fishing line, trying to catch the prey Get it in your pocket as soon as possible.

The monks stationed under the cracked sky stood up from their respective formations one after another, some were in contact with their own sects, and some simply raised their spirits and flew into the air, wanting to find out.

But the cultivators who took off quickly froze and scattered in all directions.

"Crack————"

The majestic spiritual power clashed at a speed that was difficult to detect with the naked eye. Even though the onlookers had retreated more than ten miles quickly, their faces were still pale from the shock of the violent fluctuations of spiritual power.

"F-what happened?" The monks who were still in the formation on the ground also retreated to the distance with their companions in a panic, and the figures were like frightened animals avoiding a snowstorm.

"Ghost knows—wait! Aren't those two men Gu Lingxiao and the master of Qingqiu? That woman—damn! Isn't she the master of the previous generation of Hehuan Sect?! Immortal Chaoyin?! Hasn't she fallen for a long time! "

"Do you recognize the last generation?!"

"Silly X! I don't know which generation of fairies in the Hehuan sect... Now is not the time to talk about this, why don't you take a quick look at Gu Lingxiao's cultivation base and combat power--wasn't he just in the early stage of transformation? This, this This is the fusion period?!"

"Okay, it seems to be..."

"I'm afraid he is not really Tiandao's own son! My God, my God! How did he do it!"

"They came from the south. Is it possible that the newly released artifact has really confessed to Gu Lingxiao again? He holds two artifacts by himself, and it's no problem to directly reach the fusion stage combat power!"

"Confess to him again..."

All the monks watching in the snow field looked at the battle situation in mid-air with uncertain expressions.

Even when the artifact was born near the Taiping Sword Sect, many people in the world secretly speculated that if the artifact was really magical, would it be aimed at Gu Lingxiao again... But when it really happened, they still couldn't believe it.

"Gu, Gu Lingxiao is not the reincarnation of some ancient strong man...?" Someone said weakly, "I thought about all the gossip and story books about him, but I still think this is the most likely... After we transform into gods, as long as Even if the soul is immortal, you can still wait for the opportunity to seize the body, and the demon clan Phoenix also retains the method of reincarnation... If it is really a powerful person from ancient times, it is not impossible to reincarnate to the present."

"Don't talk about reincarnation, it's the Lord of Qingqiu, who has survived to over 2000 years old—I know! It's not a coincidence that the Lord of Qingqiu and Gu Lingxiao got mixed up! Maybe Qi Ran's little white fox is A pretense!"

"You know again! Then tell me, what are they doing now? Immortal Chaoyin doesn't have many years of life left now, does he want to grab the opportunity to ascend by fighting with them?"

"It looks like this, but how could she win it? Only the Lord of Qingqiu can beat her to the ground... No, she seems to have something in her hand. Look, the spot of light in the cracked sky Did it fall into her hands?"

It did fall into Chaoyin's hands.

Chu Qing frowned, this woman did not know where she had spied the secret, and she seemed to know the opportunity of ascension like the back of her hand——

Qi Ran already knows quite a lot, but he seems to be more sensitive to the trajectory of the development of destiny, but this woman has a very thorough grasp of the matter of ascension.

But since she is so clear, she should understand even more that in this world where spiritual energy is thin, the way of heaven can't provide the power of thunder and calamity enough to send monks to break through the barrier of the small world.

There is one and only one who can ascend in this world—Gu Lingxiao, who was reincarnated from the soul.

Because Xuanyuan Sword, Donghuang Bell, Butian Stone, including himself, contained all the power that "he" had arranged since ancient times.

I had received the grace of saving my life back then, and created the Qingqiu Secret Realm with the help of "him", and was able to survive until now. Now it's time to transfer all my cultivation bases to him as agreed.

The sky-crack where the Sky-Mending Stone is located is the weakest point of the barrier between this world and the upper world. "He" had already detected this point back then, but it was more than 1000 years before it actually appeared in the world.Once it is really opened, it will be close to the existence of the road to ascension, and it will also be a special space where I can directly teach him skills.

The blade of Xuanyuan Sword is the only ancient sacred weapon that can induce thunder calamity and temporarily open the barrier between the two worlds.

The Donghuang Bell is used as a shield, which has a strong protective ability. In addition to being able to play a defensive role during the ascension, it can also completely preserve the memory of "him". When "he" takes back the Donghuang Bell, he will remember it. Various arrangements for thousands of years.

Coincidentally, "he" is also called Ling Xiao.

The same strategizing, foresight and foresight, the decisive victory is thousands of miles away.

Thousands of years ago, when spiritual disasters began to emerge, everyone in the world was either waiting to die, or they were lucky. In the end, all the venerables and powerful men either ran out of lifespan, or failed to cross the catastrophe and fell - only him, who was also at that time. The young and strong man that everyone is looking at, seeing that he has reached the peak of the Mahayana stage at a young age, as long as he is well-prepared, the success of the tribulation is clearly very promising.

But he didn't take any luck.

Since we haven't reached the era where the sky is cracked, let's find a way to live until a thousand years later.

It's just that the lifespan of human beings is at most 600 years. Even if they stay in a certain secret realm forever, they can only live for another 900 years.

What about the remaining tens of hundreds of years?

Chu Qing speculated that Ling Xiao probably took the risk and adopted the secret method of reincarnation similar to that used by Bai Ye to Baishu. When his life energy was about to run out more than 40 years ago, he took the path of rebirth, because this secret method could not leave memory. So I saved the memory separately in the Donghuang Bell.

They are intertwined, almost watertight, in this world, who else can ascend if he does not ascend?

The only accident, maybe only... Qi Ran.

But in Chu Qing's view, even if a person like Ling Xiao may hesitate a little because of Qi Ran's existence, he will never give up the ultimate goal that he has planned for thousands of years and is about to achieve.

In the final analysis, they have only been together for two years. To Ling Xiao, it is just a drop in the ocean of hundreds of years of life. Compared with the long life that is close to eternal life after ascension, it is nothing worth mentioning.

Fortunately, that child Qi Ran is bright and tenacious. Even if he can't let go of "Gu Lingxiao" for a while, there is still Xiao Bai and his brothers by his side. The two-year short relationship will probably fade into a shallow scar sooner or later. .

Seeing that Chaoyin's spiritual power was gradually exhausted, and her shots became more and more impatient, Chu Qing raised her eyes and looked at Ling Xiao for a moment.

The blood in those eyes was still there, but they were already filled with coldness. When the eyes met, he shook his head invisibly towards Chu Qing.

Chu Qing stopped suddenly, and appeared beside Ling Xiao.

"——?!" Chaoyin was stunned, and then he gritted his teeth and raised his breath. While desperately heading towards the beam of light of the Sky-Bending Stone, he completely turned the Sky-Bending Stone into nothingness with his fingers.

At the moment when the powder dissipated completely, the beam of light really turned into a solid body and slowly expanded.

The thick clouds were swung away in circles, and it seemed that the end of the sky could be seen vaguely. The other end connected by the beam of light was a dark shadow darker than the night sky.

Chaoyin's body was bathed in light, and a second phantom was separated, which was a slender and thin male.

Chu Qing squinted her eyes halfway, and saw Chaoyin holding the man's hand, and actually started to give up her cultivation.

"Heh!" Chu Qing raised her eyebrows, that's what Qi Ran and the others were talking about, right?She really dared to think and do it, but unfortunately...

Just when Chaoyin gave up his cultivation base, Ling Xiao's silver thread suddenly entangled Chaoyin and Qingping's bodies like a thousand arrows, and pulled them down from the sky little by little.

Surprisingly, under Ling Xiao's black air lingering thread, Chaoyin and Na Qingping's physical bodies were only skin wounds.

Oh yes, she also has a top-level defensive magic weapon in the Mahayana period, which was once used in Qingqiu Secret Realm, and Gu Lingxiao, who was only in the Yuanying period at that time, was stopped by the formation barrier alone, and now she uses it directly close to her body to keep her body Not too difficult.

"Which one to keep?" Chu Qing looked at Ling Xiao with a cold expression.

Ling Xiao said lightly: "Qingping, the peak of the Mahayana period with pure spiritual power, it can be used."

As if it was just an object.

"Okay." Chu Qing obeyed.

Whether they fought against each other, or whether Chaoyin gave up his cultivation base, everything happened in the blink of an eye. As soon as Chu Qing's voice fell, Chaoyin and Qingping suddenly separated.

Chu Qing didn't hold back her hand anymore, raised her hand and hit it, directly hitting the woman from mid-air to the ground.

"Boom!—"

The frozen ground of the snow field was blown out of a huge deep pit several miles around, and the thick ice and snow and the brown soil raised dust all over the sky.

After several attacks in succession, Chaoyin was also a Mahayana monk after all. After several blows by Chu Qing, although she was powerless to fight back, she was able to withstand the attack and dodge with all her strength.

At the same time, Qingping in the beam of light also opened his eyes.

His appearance is almost the same as that described by Xuan Jing, thin and elegant, and he was obviously No. 1 in the world who has dominated the Taoist sect for hundreds of years, but he is like an orchid growing alone on the edge of a cliff, with a bit of a calmness. There is little melancholy.

It was indeed like a man who would entangle with a Hehuan sect demon girl like Chaoyin for hundreds of years, and keep cutting things off and making chaos.

"Qing, Daoist Qingping!" Chu Qing heard an unbelievably suspicious sound coming from the air not far away.

It was the monk and the fool who came to deliver the food just now, but they still had some brains left, so they didn't rush into the beam of light to deliver the food.

Qingping's expression after opening his eyes changed from confusion, to searching, to panic in an instant. He may not have figured out what happened, but his eyes had already caught up with Chaoyin who was fleeing in a panic under Chu Qing's attack. .

He immediately wanted to attack Chu Qing, who was only tens of feet away from him, but as soon as he aroused his breath, before Chu Qing even had the spare energy to deal with it, Ling Xiao seemed to have foreseen his actions, ghosts It seemed to appear behind him.

The silk thread entwined with black air slowly tightened.

"Chu Qing, come and help me."

The man said so in a hoarse voice.

"...?!" Chu Qing was stunned for a moment.
