The Wheel-Turning Master.

Chapter 279 One Knife
The sword light came across, no one knew where it came from, but it had the power to cover the sun and moon, and obscure the sky and the earth.

Everyone looked from afar and saw that although the sword light had not yet reached them, the heavy pressure seemed to be tearing everything apart.

There was an endless sense of destruction in the vast and majestic sword light, as if the god in charge of killing since ancient times wanted to kill everything in the world, regardless of whether it was good or evil.

In less than a breath, the nine people, under the cover of the true meaning of the Great Dao, burst into blood and their flesh and blood scattered.

"Bang bang bang!"

Several people's eyes popped out and they wailed non-stop.

They all had golden elixir bodies, and their muscles and bones had already surpassed those of ordinary people. However, even if the sword light did not reach them, just a glance at them would have made them all collapse.

The nine people had all seen the world, but they could not imagine how they would be able to block it if the knife was slashed towards them.
His mind raced as he considered whether there was a way to dodge, but he was unable to move at all. Even the thoughts he had were vague, as if everything he was thinking had been cut off by the knife!
Looking closely, the knife had no actual target, but it seemed as if everything in the world was facing the knife light, as if rushing to offer sacrifice.

They had long forgotten the pain in their bodies, and there was no thought in their minds. Even the fear no longer existed. They just felt that it was a blessing from heaven that they could die under the sword.

At this moment, a blue stone fell from the sky and blocked the knife light.

The knife light touched the bluestone in an instant, and the bluestone suddenly cracked, slightly blocking the force of the knife light.

Then a sense of vastness and remoteness emerged, and thousands of lights flashed. That sense of vastness was pure, like the beginning of time, like the beginning of all worlds.

A sense of desolation enveloped the endless sword light, and actually turned the horizontal sword light around, going straight downwards.

The mighty and majestic sword light dimmed a lot, as if it had been ravaged by an unknown amount of time and its power had been greatly reduced.

Then nine beams of light pressed down on the sword light, and a mountain fell from the sky, actually suppressing the sword that could cut through everything in the past and present.

The afterglow of the sword slashed across the earth, leaving a gully that spanned an unknown number of miles and tore the earth apart.

The water from the Milky Way fell like the rolling time, covering up the unparalleled knife marks.

After a long time, the world returned to peace.

There is no flash of sword, nor any sense of vastness, only the sound of water.

Everyone finally came to their senses and realized that they were standing on solid ground, and fell to the ground in twos and threes.

Lin Bai felt extreme pain all over his body, as if his skin was torn apart. The vast sense of destruction was still rippling in his heart, shaking his flesh and blood.

By diligently practicing Hunyuan Body Tempering, the uneasiness in my heart gradually subsided, and the damaged parts of my body slowly repaired themselves.

Looking to the side, Mu Zhen's face was extremely pale, with blood on his lips. He was sitting on the ground in a mess, his whole body trembling constantly, and holding a jade pendant in his hand.

Looking at everyone again, they were all covered in blood. Ying Wangtian was like a madman, roaring non-stop as if he was suppressing the severe pain in his body.

Mo Yingcheng's clothes were soaked with blood. He held the sword with one hand and closed his eyes, trying to cultivate himself, but he was staggering.

Li Wusheng was lying on the ground, his left eye was empty and blood was all over his face.

The others were more miserable than each other. Du Changying's eyes were just bloody holes, and he was covering his face and wailing.

However, Yin Yan, who passed the test first, seemed to be able to hold on. Although he was covered in blood, he seemed to be fine.

They all have golden elixir bodies, so they can endure ordinary injuries. Even if their eyes burst and their limbs and internal organs are damaged, they will never cry out in pain.

But the blade was so powerful that everyone felt damaged just by looking at it. The destructive power of the blade penetrated into the skin and internal organs, as if grinding the tendons, bones and internal organs into powder bit by bit!

Those who were able to enter this place and pass the trial are all outstanding people, but have they ever suffered such a punishment?
Therefore, everyone is going crazy!
"Ah! Senior Sister, save me!" Lin Bai also yelled when he saw this, and forced himself to sit up. He touched the gourd tremblingly and took out the pill.

Lin Bai cried out in pain while touching the gourd. He glanced at Ying Wangtian, wondering whether he should take this opportunity to kill him. Then he saw Ying Wangtian let out a wail and slapped the ground with his palm.

He was already covered in blood, and after he slapped out with his palm, a pair of wings appeared behind him, followed by blood mist rising, emitting a rich bloody aura. However, he was no longer crazy, but sat cross-legged peacefully to cultivate himself.

Seeing that things were hopeless, Lin Bai put away his thoughts, swallowed a handful of pills, and moved closer to Sister Zhen, "Open your mouth."

Mu Zhen opened her mouth obediently and Lin Bai stuffed everything in.

"Come." Although Lin Bai was gasping for breath, he still forced himself to come to Mo Yingcheng.

He fed Mo Yingcheng the pill and helped Li Wusheng up.

After all, it was the relationship between father and daughter, so Lin Bai fed her the pill and said a few words of comfort.

Li Wusheng's burst eye sockets were bleeding profusely. He felt better after taking the pill. He just nodded tremblingly to express his gratitude.

Lin Bai has always been a kind and sincere gentleman, and he forced himself to feed the pills to everyone one by one.

"Thank you." Only Senior Brother Yin Yan expressed his gratitude.

After that, no one said anything and just sat cross-legged to recover.

Lin Bai took the time to look around and found that he was still in a rock cave.

This place is similar to the underwater cave before entering the secret trial realm.

But the gate was nowhere to be seen.

For a moment, Lin Bai couldn't tell whether he had left the secret realm or entered a mirror image.

But the auspicious feeling in my heart became stronger and stronger, and the stone tablet hanging around my neck became warmer.

Clearly there is a great opportunity here! Either a rare treasure or a technique that is extremely suitable for me!
Lin Bai looked towards the entrance he came from, then closed his eyes and sat quietly again.

When I came to the stone plate, I saw that the green was gone, and the moonlight disappeared. The fog was wrapped in extremely thick black layers, and the countless stars were invisible. The sense of heaviness was so deep that even through the fog, I could still feel the fierce and natural sense of destruction.

"We should let Sister Pei come and take a look..."

Lin Bai muttered to himself. Even though he had the ability to track and trace, he did not dare to easily spy on the source of the black color.

Before, people only looked at the foundation-building stage, like Xiu Xiu, or the Nascent Soul stage, like Aunt Gu and Sao Huli.

But this time it was not just the work of the Nascent Soul. Under its might, Lin Bai felt that even if Xiang Wu came back, he would be wiped out. If he spied on such a person, it would be extremely dangerous!

After calming down for a while, Lin Bai couldn't help but think of the sword that just cut through the sky and the earth.

But when the knife light just flashed slightly in his mind, Lin Bai felt his heart tremble, as if an ancient giant beast was spying on him, ready to devour anyone at any time.

"Just by looking at it from a distance, I was seriously injured. The sense of destruction penetrated into my bones and muscles!"

"And now, just by thinking about it briefly, I can feel the knife across the back of my neck!"

"What kind of knife is this? Who made it?"

“And this sword that seemed to be able to split the world was blocked by the bluestone, and then the blade was moved, as if to sweep away the brilliance on the blade. Not only did it eliminate most of the power of the sword, but it was also suppressed by nine pillars of light and a green mountain!”

Lin Bai was stunned for a while, feeling deeply that his own level was too low, and he even felt like an ant.

Thinking of the legend that Li Wusheng had once told, this endless river was cut out by a powerful man, who once destroyed a magic weapon of the Taoist Master Wuxiang.

"Could the scene we just saw be the battle in which the Taoist Master Wuxiang took on his enemy?"

"But that battle has been over for who knows how many years. Is it a reappearance of light and shadow?"

"A splash of water in the long river of time, showing the scene at that time?" "But this knife is so clear, so domineering, as if it were personally present, its power is definitely not fake!"

“That could be… the knife that was struck at that time was sealed in the small world by the Taoist Master Wuxiang using the great magical power of the Great Dao of Space, and then appeared at this moment using the great magical power of the Great Dao of Time!”

Lin Bai was inexplicably shocked, yet also excited: If he could learn all the true teachings of the Taoist Master Wuxiang, he would be able to chase the stars and the moon, and hide in the sky and the earth in the future.

Of course, it is possible that the enemies encountered by Master Wuxiang will be encountered again.

After all, the life span of someone who is at the same level as the Taoist Master Wuxiang is unknown. Most of them should still be alive, meditating somewhere. As soon as they open their eyes, they will be able to see the sky and the earth, and there will be no shadow at all!
"The person who made the move should be the one who killed Wuxiang Daoist Master, or maybe his helper."

"Although the Taoist Wuxiang had to use his strength to block the knife, he did not seem to be at a disadvantage."

"If this is true, then the person who drew the knife should be one of the people who surrounded and killed Wuxiang Daoist Master."

"I don't know exactly how many people there are. According to Sister Zhen, there are nine Dao Lords in total. The Wuxiang Dao Patriarch has fallen, and the other eight Dao Lords..."

Lin Bai thought for a long time but got nothing. He thought about serving Sister Zhen well and then asking her some questions.

When he opened his eyes, he saw that everyone was still recovering with their eyes closed, so Lin Bai pretended to sit cross-legged as well.

After a while, someone was heard groaning, which was a sign that the injury was getting better.

"Lin Zhuanlun!" Ying Wangtian suddenly spoke, his voice angry, shocking everyone and making them open their eyes to look.

Ying Wangtian was wearing a blood-stained robe, his face flushed, and he frowned as he looked at Lin Bai and asked, "What kind of elixir did you give me?"

"Of course it's a healing pill!"

Lin Bai's face was pale, but he sneered and said, "Although I am an alchemist, I am a casual cultivator after all, and I have never seen a top-grade elixir."

He stretched out his hand and said angrily: "Brother Ying, if you think the Jade Dew Pills are not presentable, please return them! It's a pity that I have such good intentions!"

“You…” Ying Wangtian’s brows furrowed even more tightly. “Jade Dew Pills can heal injuries and calm the mind, and they have the effect of restoring energy. They are cool and gentle. Why did the pill you gave me smell so spicy? It made my mind even more chaotic, and my blood rushed. It is definitely not a medicine for healing!”

Ying Wangtian took out a bottle of pills from his storage ring and swallowed it. He stared at Lin Bai and said unhappily, "You are an alchemist, but you can't even distinguish pills?"

“Well…” Seeing that Ying Wangtian didn’t seem to be pretending, Lin Bai looked at everyone and said, “Senior brothers and sisters, did you feel anything unusual after taking the Jade Dew Pills?”

"Junior brother's pills are of the best quality." Yin Yan said with a smile.

The others nodded as well.

"Could it be that I'm crazy? I can't even identify the properties of the elixir correctly?" Seeing that no one believed him, Ying Wangtian became even more angry. "In my opinion, what you gave me must be a sexual aid to stimulate aphrodisiacs!"

"Ah?" Lin Bai suddenly realized, and took out several pill bottles from the gourd. After comparing them one by one, he smiled apologetically and said, "Senior Brother Mo asked me to refine some Tiger Wolf Pills earlier, and I kept them all on hand. I was seriously injured just now and was in a hurry. I didn't pay attention for a moment and fed the wrong pill to Senior Brother. Please forgive me!"

"..." Mo Yingcheng was stunned.

Seeing that Ying Wangtian was still angry, while the others looked curious, Lin Bai explained, "Tiger Wolf Pills are a famous specialty of our Qiaoshan. They are most beneficial for dual cultivation and can be used as a bed to enhance pleasure. I have improved it several times, and the efficacy is excellent! If you need it, just tell me. The price is fair!"

"I'm asking for it on behalf of a friend of mine." Seeing that the blame had been put on his head, Mo Yingcheng pinched his nose and tried to explain.

"..." Everyone looked at Lin Bai, then at Mo Yingcheng whose face was becoming increasingly paler, and no one said a word.

"Since it was an unintentional mistake, there's no need to blame me." Yin Yan tried to smooth things over with a smile.

"An unintentional mistake? He was fed so many Tiger and Wolf Pills when he was seriously injured. Was it to harm people or to save them?" Du Changying suddenly spoke. His eyes were completely blank. At this moment, the wound had stopped bleeding and was slowly recovering.

"Next time Senior Brother Du gets hurt again, I will never save the wrong person again." Lin Bai said with a smile.

This is a mockery of Du Changying for being ungrateful and trying to sow discord.

“Alright.” Ying Wangtian waved his hands, suppressed the blood rushing in his body, and said, “We’ll set off in an hour. Everyone, heal your wounds as soon as possible!”

When the person with the most important status speaks, everyone will naturally obey.

They all had golden elixir bodies and with the help of elixirs, within half an hour, their injuries had been mostly recovered and their exploded eyeballs had grown back.

However, the extremely subtle yet endless sense of destruction is like a wildfire that cannot be extinguished, and it will spring up again with the spring breeze, and it is impossible to completely eradicate it.

Seeing that an hour had passed, everyone stood up.

They all changed into clean Taoist robes. Although their injuries were no longer visible, some of them still looked pale.

"Have the seniors in your sect who have undergone trials encountered what happened today? What should we do here?" Lin Bai transmitted a message to Li Wusheng.

Li Wusheng's face was still pale. He glared at Lin Bai and shook his head slightly.

Lin Bai didn't know what he had done to offend her. They were clearly in harmony with each other in the secret trial realm!
"Let's go!" Ying Wangtian said, took a step forward, and walked out along the way he came.

It can be seen that he seems to have some understanding of this place and knows what to do.

This place was exactly the same as the cave under the Endless River where he had entered before. Ying Wangtian walked along the retreat route.

Everyone followed immediately.

"We were all seriously injured just now, but Junior Brother Zhuanlun was the first one who was able to get up. I see that Junior Brother has only been in the Dan stage for a short time, which is extremely rare." Du Changying approached Lin Bai and said with a smile.

"I've only learned some body-tempering methods. I didn't expect it to be of some use. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Brother Du." Lin Bai also smiled gently, as if the two of them had never had a quarrel just now.

"Huh, body tempering? Senior Brother Ying has been tempering his body for a hundred years, how come he still can't withstand it like you?" Du Changying laughed strangely.

Lin Bai smiled but didn't answer.

The people in front stopped. Ying Wangtian was seen standing in the passage, turning around and looking at Du Changying with a bad face.

"Brother, I actually want to say..."

Before Du Changying finished speaking, Ying Wangtian interrupted him coldly, saying, "Are you saying that I tempered my body into a dog?"

"How dare you, Junior Brother?" Du Changying hurriedly explained.

"You are the descendant of the wine immortal Du Jueming, so why wouldn't you dare?" Ying Wangtian said no more and continued to move forward.

"Senior Brother Du, how can you say what's on your mind? Are you like a wine fairy and have drunk too much?" Mu Zhen laughed at him.

Ying Wangtian was stunned again and snorted coldly.

Du Changying glared at Mu Zhen in annoyance, but the latter ignored him.

They came out of the passage one after another and saw a huge ravine running east to west, stretching for who knows how many miles. There was no water flowing in it, only a sense of dryness and silence.

There are nine stone pillars standing majestically, with towering mountains on top.

Ying looked up at the sky, squinting his eyes as if he wanted to see through the clouds, with an expression of anticipation and joy on his face.

Lin Bai felt a stronger sense of luck in his heart, and that ethereal feeling went straight to the top of the mountain.

“I admire the lofty mountains and the beautiful scenery.” When Mu Zhen saw the lofty mountains reaching into the clouds, like a pillar supporting the sky, he could not help but applaud.
