The Heavenly Dao Token in Cangwuzi's hand burst forth with a blue light, resonating with the star trails in the sky.
Atop the seven mountain peaks, a colossal bronze statue slowly rose.
Each of the seven colossal statues, corresponding to the star deities of the Big Dipper, exudes a chilling aura of power.
The clouds beneath their feet were distorted and twisted by (Zhao Qianhao), forming a huge vortex.
"Oh no!" Qingxuzi's voice changed tone, and the compass in his sleeve spun wildly, the needle almost breaking through the dial.
They intend to use the Heaven-Locking Array to forcibly seal the secret realm!
If all seven Heavenly Pivot Tokens are gathered together, the Azure Sky Secret Realm will be forever buried underground and will never be opened for ten thousand years!
Before he finished speaking, a low, rumbling sound, as if an ancient beast were awakening, could be heard from afar indicating the activation of the formation.
Chapter 413 The Gravedigger!
Wei Changxuan looked solemn and immediately sat down cross-legged.
Primordial True Qi surged within his body.
A rapidly spinning golden vortex formed, with the faint phantom of the Nine Palaces of Azure Heaven appearing at its center.
Each phantom was shimmering with mysterious runes.
"Sect Master Lei, help me unleash the lightning punishment!" he shouted, his body radiating golden light.
Lei Qianjue quickly formed hand seals, and lightning surged from his palms, transforming into a roaring lightning dragon that flowed into Wei Changxuan's body through his crown chakra.
The two forces collided fiercely in his meridians, instantly connecting the meridians of heaven and earth. Wei Changxuan's aura rose steadily, resonating strongly with Tianji Peak.
The entire mountain began to tremble violently, the rocks on the mountain surface cracked, ancient trees were uprooted, and huge cracks spread like a spider web.
In an instant, a golden beam of light burst forth from the top of Tianji Peak, shooting straight into the sky like a divine spear piercing the heavens.
The beam of light merged with the streams of light rising from the other six peaks, weaving a dazzling star web in the sky.
Wherever the Star Net passed, space distorted and stars lost their color. Xiao Chong activated the Human Emperor Seal, and golden dragon breath transformed into a giant wave that crashed towards the Star Net;
Cangwuzi waved the Heavenly Dao Decree, and the azure light slashed towards the net of light like a sharp sword.
However, the moment the two world-destroying forces collided with the StarNet, they were completely deflected as if they had been thrown into the sea.
The terrifying impact transformed into a hurricane that swept across the mountains, startling birds into flight, snapping trees in patches, and sending boulders flying like cannonballs.
(bhei) Xiao Chong and Cang Wuzi simultaneously spat out a mouthful of blood, their faces instantly turning ashen white, and they staggered backward.
Hurry! Qingxuzi's compass emitted a harsh screeching sound, and the needle began to spin in the opposite direction.
The Heaven-Locking Array requires forty-nine breaths to activate, and its power increases by one point with each breath!
If we wait until the formation is complete, we will all perish here!
Without hesitation, the group rushed down the stone steps engraved with star maps.
The ancient runes on the stone walls on both sides suddenly lit up, and countless afterimages of martial artists appeared and disappeared.
They wielded divine weapons, their movements agile, as if engaged in a battle that transcended time and space.
With each step he took, he could feel the ground trembling, as if the entire secret realm was groaning under the pressure of the formation.
Mu Nanzhi suddenly grabbed Wei Changxuan's sleeve, her fingertips trembling slightly: Look!
Her voice was filled with barely suppressed shock and excitement.
Following the sound, everyone looked and saw a huge bronze palace looming in the depths of the sea of clouds, as if it were floating between heaven and earth.
The palace was shrouded in a pale golden mist, and its surface was covered with ancient and intricate patterns.
Under the sunlight, it gleams with a mysterious glow, and every line seems to tell a story of glory from a thousand years ago.
The four large characters "Qingxiao Palace" on the plaque above the palace gate seemed to emanate the power of stars.
The shimmering light between the strokes is like the Milky Way flowing backwards, containing the ultimate truths of the universe. Just one glance is enough to make one feel as if their soul is being drawn into it.
Finally, they arrived... Lei Qianjue let out a long sigh of relief, his tense shoulders relaxing slightly.
However, before the words were finished, the air in front of the palace gate suddenly rippled, as if a huge stone had been thrown into a calm lake.
Twelve dark figures slowly emerged from the void. They were dressed in black robes, their faces hidden in the shadows, and their bodies were surrounded by thick, inky black mist.
With each step, the air beneath their feet crackled and popped under the immense pressure.
The bluestone bricks on the ground were cracked by this oppressive force.
The aura emanating from these tomb guardians was several times stronger than that of the puppets in the underground palace; they were like death gods from the underworld, sending chills down one's spine.
Chapter 414 The Primordial Scripture Appears in the World!
Be careful, these tomb guardians are stronger than those in the underground palace!
Lu Shaoyou shouted, and the dragon's roar as the Azure Sky Sword was drawn resounded through the sky. The sword's blue light surged, drawing streaks of dark blue light in the air.
Wei Changxuan looked solemn as he slowly took out the second volume of the Taichu Scripture from his robes.
As soon as the ancient book appeared, it moved without wind, and the pages fluttered like butterflies, making a soft rustling sound.
Finally, the ancient book stopped at the last page: "In the beginning of time, the heavens and earth were created; the blue sky merged with the Dao"—eight golden characters that shone brightly.
The handwriting seemed to come alive, slowly flowing in the air, radiating a chilling pressure.
Wei Changxuan took a deep breath, circulated his primordial true energy throughout his body, and poured it all into the ancient book.
In an instant, the golden wheel pattern on his chest and the jade slip in his bosom simultaneously erupted with dazzling light.
The two forces, like rivers flowing into the sea, merged together to form a golden torrent.
The phantom of the tomb keeper struggled in agony amidst the golden light, emitting mournful howls.
Their black robes began to crumble, and their figures gradually became transparent.
With a deafening roar, the twelve dark figures vanished completely into the air, leaving only wisps of smoke.
It turns out... the tomb keeper was a trial left behind by Qingxiaozi.
Wei Changxuan muttered to himself, a glimmer of understanding flashing in his eyes.
He led everyone into the Azure Sky Palace, where a solemn and dignified atmosphere permeated the air.
Nine jade tablets floated in the air, each shimmering with a soft blue light.
The stele is engraved with different sword techniques, and the runes flicker and shimmer, as if they are alive and telling the story of the highest realm of swordsmanship.
These runes would sometimes condense and sometimes dissipate, and faintly, they resonated with the Primordial True Qi within Wei Changxuan's body, emitting clear and melodious sounds.
The moment Wei Changxuan raised his hand, the Primordial True Qi in his sleeve surged like a reversed Milky Way, transforming into thousands of golden threads that wrapped around the jade tablet.
The stone tablets, inscribed with ancient runes, suddenly trembled, resonating like the chimes of bells and chimes.
The surface of the nine floating pieces of green jade is covered with spiderweb-like cracks, as if an ancient god who has been awakened has opened his eyes.
With a clear, resonant dragon's roar, the stone tablet shattered inch by inch, transforming into nine streams of light that entered his brow.
A vast amount of information flooded into his mind like a burst dam—it was the culmination of Qingxiaozi's lifelong mastery of swordsmanship.
Each sword move carries the trajectory of the stars' movement and contains the secrets of shattering the void.
Asking for flowers
This...how is this possible! Lu Shaoyou staggered back half a step, and the Azure Sky Sword unconsciously emitted a buzzing sound.
He looked at the golden and blue aura surrounding Wei Changxuan.
The afterimages of the Nine Swords Formation flashed intermittently within those halos, each afterimage carrying a sharp edge that could cleave space.
Qingxuzi stroked his beard with trembling hands, tears welling in his eyes:
Back then, Qingxiaozi exhausted three hundred years of cultivation to carve the Nine Palaces Sword Manual into a piece of jade, and then sealed it in the Seven Peaks of the Big Dipper using a secret method.
The old man's voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement.
When the Primordial Scripture appeared in the world, the resonance of two supreme techniques gave birth to this astonishing martial art!
Wei Changxuan's aura surged, and the golden wheel-like patterns on his skin moved like living things.
The sword intent of the Azure Sky Nine Palaces clashed wildly with the Primordial True Qi within the meridians.
Sometimes it transforms into a heavy sword with the force of thunder, and sometimes it condenses into a fleeting, ethereal shadow.
The instant the two forces completely merged, nine sword shadows suddenly appeared behind him—
Each strike was imbued with the power of stars, and the light flowing along the edge of the blade even cut fine cracks into the surrounding space.
Chapter 415 The Emperor's Seal!
"Good!" Lei Qianjue roared to the sky, his body exploding with dazzling silver sparks of lightning.
His silver hair stood on end, and the lightning power he unleashed with his palms cracked the jade floor tiles inch by inch.
The bronze candlesticks inside the hall were twisted into scrap metal in the aftershocks. With this sword technique, what is there to fear from the Big Dipper Locking Heaven Formation!
Before he finished speaking, the entire Qingxiao Palace suddenly trembled violently.
The star map mural on the dome is seeping out black cracks, as if a pair of invisible giant hands are tearing this space apart.
A sharp clang of metal clashing echoed from afar, carrying Xiao Chong's furious roar that pierced through layers of restrictions: Wei Changxuan! You can't escape!
The gates of the Jade Palace shattered with a deafening roar, and Xiao Chong, holding the Emperor's Seal, strode through the flying dust as he arrived.
Nine golden dragons were printed on it, spitting out dazzling golden light, illuminating the hall in a stark white light.
Behind him, Cangwuzi carried the Heavenly Dao Token, and the seven stars floating around him transformed into flowing chains of light.
Together with the Northern Imperial Guards, they formed a sword-wielding square formation, creating an impenetrable killing array.
The oppressive aura of the Emperor's Seal materialized, and the bronze candlesticks inside the hall shattered instantly.
The splashing candle wax condensed into sharp ice crystals in the air, crashing heavily to the ground with a crisp cracking sound.
"Hand over the Heavenly Pivot Token!" Xiao Chong's roar made everyone's eardrums ache.
The golden dragon phantom on the Emperor's Seal opened its blood-red maw and lunged at Wei Changxuan.
Otherwise, I will let you perish in this crumbling secret realm!
Wei Changxuan shattered the ice crystals on the ground, leaving pale golden runes on the jade tiles with each step.
Nine sword shadows extended from behind him, the light flowing from the blades like an inverted galaxy.
