The mortal's candle dragon opens the sky

Looking at Shi Kongjie again, his face was filled with an unusually bitter smile, as if he had a lot of pain to express and it was difficult to make a decision. He stood there for a long time before saying:
"You deliberately did not hide from me such a secret and important matter as the Law of the Origin of Destruction. Now that I have seen it all, what choice do I have? If my answer is not to your liking, I am afraid that my fate will be much more miserable than that of the Sky Bottle Spirit, right?

Moreover, the Saint Clan led by my Shi Clan was caught in internal strife because of my grandfather's death in the 'Daotian Great Disaster'. In the battle between the Heavenly Court and the Four Symbols Xingyuan Sect, we chose to withdraw and remain neutral to protect ourselves. No matter what the difficulties were, in the eyes of the Xuanwu Daoist Master, my Saint Clan was a traitor! If you succeed, there will be a reckoning in the future. Even if I can survive alone, the Saint Clan! Especially the royal Shi family, I am afraid there is no need for it to exist!"

"Hmph! It's good that you know! That's why Xuyangzi gave you the chance to make amends. Do you want to keep making the same mistake again and again?" Seeing that Shi Kongjie still hadn't given up his dream of becoming the supreme ruler of the Demon Realm, Taoist Xuanwu snorted coldly and continued to play the good guy.

Xuyang smiled gently and said:

"Fellow Daoist, you are too kind. After all, you have helped me several times before. I am clear about gratitude and resentment, and I am not willing to do such things as hiding the bow after the bird is dead. If you have any difficulties, you can practice here with peace of mind and do some alchemy and weapon refining for us. When everything is settled, you can stay or go freely! But before that, don't even think about going to the Demon Realm to compete for the position of Demon Lord."

"Friend Daoist Xu, please don't laugh at me. Now I am just a puppet body. Talking about the Demon Lord will only add to the jokes. Your aptitude can be called the first true dragon throughout the ages. Of course I am willing to help you climb the road to success and earn some favors from you, but I can't help myself." Shi Kongjie sighed and smiled bitterly.

"Oh? Would you be willing to tell me the truth?"

Xuyang still smiled as usual. Before Shi Kongjie fell into the lower world, he was the master of the 'Ji Lin Kong Jing', and the 'Ji Lin Kong Jing' was a super interface that was created after the ancestor Luo Hou passed away. It was the same product as the Yinming Land in the spiritual world, but comparing the two was like comparing a grain of sand and the boundless desert. Therefore, Xuyang was definitely interested in taking a look at the Ji Lin Kong Jing, although he was not determined to obtain it.

If Shi Kongjie could be allowed to take Xuyang with him willingly, and give up the inheritance of Luohou's ancestor in the 'Jilin Void Realm', it would be enough to speed up Xuyang's rise countless times. However, in order to prevent Shi Kongjie from harboring resentment, we still have to be careful about the methods and not force it.

"Well! I'll tell you!" A bitter smile flashed in the Crab Taoist's golden eyes. The green shirt on his chest suddenly split open, revealing the puppet core inside. The next moment, a residual soul like a rotten tree root rushed out of his body.

Only half of his body was left, with half of his head missing. His soul was covered with mottled black spots. His face could only be barely seen as a young man of about 27 or 28 years old. Apart from his black hair and black eyes, his face was frighteningly pale.

This was naturally Shi Kongjie's original appearance. After he appeared, he glanced at himself with a self-deprecating look on his face, and then began to narrate in a deep voice:

"I am not the complete me. What you see before you is only my true self! I have reached the late Daluo realm twice, once in the space law and once in the puppet law.

Twenty million years ago, I was competing with the current Demon Lord Shi Kongyu for the position of Saint Emperor. I lost by a single move, and my spatial laws were extracted. My cultivation was reduced to one-hundredth of what it was, and I fell to the late Taiyi stage! At that time, due to the presence of many Saint Clan elders, Shi Kongyu could not kill me on the spot to eliminate future troubles. He just pretended to be kind and said that my cultivation had dropped and my state of mind was greatly damaged, and there was a possibility that my three corpses would rebel. He extracted my three corpses on the spot and suppressed them in the altar at the bottom of the Holy Sacrifice Hall.

How important are the Three Corpses? How can they be controlled by others? Shi Kongyu appears to be thinking about me, but in fact, he is holding the Three Corpses in his hands! This will make me completely give up the idea of ​​competing for the throne of the Holy Emperor.

But I knew that the overall situation was just beginning to be determined, the country was in doubt with a young ruler, and there were quite a few Daluo Daozu supporting me at that time. So in order to stabilize the situation, Shi Kongyu would never let me go even if he had my three corpses in his hands.

Fortunately, when I was young, I was more favored by my grandfather than Shi Kongyu. I was fortunate enough to enter the space where the ancestor Luohou sat in meditation as a prince, which is the "Ji Lin Kong Jing". Before my grandfather took the risk to face the "Daotian Catastrophe", he knew that there was a possibility of failure, and he also guessed that there would be civil strife next, so he gave me one of the eighteen keys to open the Ji Lin Kong Jing to save my life.

Of course I would not sit and wait for death. After leaving the Holy Sacrifice Hall, I activated the key at nightfall, opened the space portal, and hid in the Jilin Void Realm. This Jilin Void Realm had a special avenue of heaven and earth set up by the ancestor Luohou. Once you carry the power of the heaven, you will be excluded. That is, those in the Daluo realm and the Tongxuan realm cannot enter. Only the Daluo Daozu who practiced the laws of space can enter, but his cultivation will be greatly suppressed!
At that time, the Heavenly Court attacked again. Shi Kongyu was too exhausted to deal with it and did not dare to suppress his cultivation and risk coming in. He could only let me survive.

There are hundreds and thousands of multiple spaces maintained in the Jilin Realm, each connected by a portal. Even if I have the Jilin Key, I cannot pass through it at will. Also, there are many important forbidden spaces stationed with many Taiyi-level saint guards. I can only hide as much as possible, and thus survived for millions of years.

But I was lucky. Tens of millions of years ago, I found one of the followers of the ancient ancestor Luohou, the Silk Spider Mother named Soul-Binding Taoist. Her remains were in the space where I inherited the mantle of Soul-Binding Taoist and began to practice the law of puppets.

Because my three corpses were suppressed by Shi Kongyu, I had no obsessions, was calm and desireless, and my mind was calm and clear. And because of the special puppet law, I could barely contend with the original rules in the void realm. I successfully broke through to the Daluo realm, and it only took me a few million years to cultivate to the peak of Daluo again. I only had to survive the "Daotian Great Tribulation" before I could combine the Taoist puppet law and become the Taoist ancestor.

But I cannot summon the 'Daotian Great Tribulation' in the Jilin Void Realm, and if I want to attack the Daozu, the Three Corpses must be by my side. I can only take the risk and contact an old subordinate named 'Erqi'.

But I didn't expect that Erkui, my old subordinate who had sworn a blood oath to be loyal to me until death, had already advanced to Daluo with the support of Shikongyu. He betrayed me after breaking the oath. I had just broken out of Jilinkong Realm, and Shikongyu had been waiting for me for a long time!
Although he and I are at the same level, the law of space is one of the three supreme laws and is extremely powerful. I risked being assimilated by Daotian and performed forbidden techniques one after another, but ended up with half of my soul crippled and I was seriously injured and defeated. I hid back in the remains of the Soul-Binding Taoist Ancestor.

But at this time, a mysterious man in black, who was wearing veiled clothes, suppressed his cultivation and entered the Jilin Void Realm and found me. I don't know what means he used to steal my three corpses from the altar!
They were also suppressed into special crystal coffins of heavenly commandments, and threatened me to abandon my physical body and bones, seal myself in this golden crab, and go to a place called the Ancient Demon Realm in the lower world! To wait for a destined person who holds the Heavenly Bottle! To support and help him as much as possible! And to lead him to the Jilin Void Realm.

He promised that if I could do this, he would not only be able to retrieve his own body and the three crystal coffins that sealed the good, evil, and self corpses from the mysterious black-clad man, but also help me kill Shi Kongyu and take back the throne of the Holy Emperor. In order to gain my trust, he took out the head of the eldest son that Erkui valued the most, and told me many secrets of the Demon Lord, including the skills and laws that his seventeen descendants were good at!
Otherwise, you must kill me immediately and completely!
I had just been betrayed by someone, so naturally I would not easily believe that person's lies. I had to take the risk and attack. However, my three corpses were clamped and I was seriously injured and dying. Moreover, that person seemed to know my magical powers very well. He hit me hard again with just a few moves. This time I was really on the verge of death!

I had no choice but to do it! He threatened me later that if I had any inappropriate thoughts, the moment I entered the Scaled Void Realm again, he would release the seal on my own corpse and the evil corpse! This would put me in a miserable situation where I was the host of the "Chopping Corpse"! So, how could I stay and help you in such a predicament?"

The remaining soul of Shi Kongjie had a gray face and looked at Xuyang with a complicated expression.

"How can he predict what will happen in the future? Is he another time traveler? But hasn't the Heavenly Bottle always been in Xuyangzi's hands?" Upon hearing this, Taoist Xuanwu and Jinlong Tianfeng looked at each other in shock, finding it unbelievable.

"Could it be the so-called Lord of the Samsara Palace?" Taoist Xuanwu frowned, tapped his green lotus pipe, and guessed in a deep voice.

"It absolutely cannot be the Lord of Samsara! Samsara is now an ally of the Demon Realm, and Demon Lord Shi Kongyu is also the Lord of Samsara's biggest helper in fighting against Gu Huojin. He absolutely cannot lose his composure and make trouble for the Three Corpses, who are a real threat to his allies! Moreover, he used the information of all Shi Kongyu's descendants as bargaining chips. Such insidious means are not the style of 'ordinary people'!" Xuyang shook his head slowly and said in a low voice.

"Not like an ordinary person? You mean, that person is also a 'severed corpse'? It can't be the severed corpse of the Lord of the Samsara Palace, right?" Taoist Xuanwu blinked.

Shi Kongjie slowly shook his head and said, "No! That person is not practicing the law of reincarnation, but the law of time!"

Xuyang had already guessed who it was. He suddenly looked at the huge green bottle that was constantly absorbing and exhaling the energy of heaven and earth. His eyes flickered and his thoughts began to run wildly:
"Impossible! I took the Heavenly Bottle, but now the bottle spirit has been extinguished!"

"How could this mysterious person appear in the 'past'? How can there be an effect without a cause? The closed loop of time must have been broken by me at the moment when the bottle spirit was annihilated!"

“Even when the Heaven-Holding Bottle was taken away by me, the time loop no longer existed! Without the Heaven-Holding Bottle, the old demon would most likely not be able to pass the Foundation Establishment Stage, let alone Doctor Mo’s Stage! How could he possibly kill off his own corpse or the evil corpse!”

Yes, he knew what would happen in the future, and he knew Shi Kongjie's past. He was also sneaky, daring to threaten the Demon Lord's confidant Shi Kongjie, and used the three corpses as bargaining chips. He was not afraid of raising a big enemy for the Demon Lord, and he had bad intentions, deliberately trying to lead the person who held the Palm of Heaven Bottle into the Jilin Space! He laid out the plan millions of years in advance!

The most important thing is that person also practices the law of time!
The only one who meets all the above conditions is Han Lao Mo himself! Or in other words, the 'corpse chopper' who has the same mind and memory as Han Lao Mo!
Xuyang remembered that when the old demon Han in the later life cut out the ego corpse, his own condition was very bad. Facing the battle of taking over the body of the ego corpse, he could not win, and the opponent knew him very well. No matter what tricks or traps the ego corpse used, the ego corpse would not be fooled at all. The magical powers were exactly the same, and the ego corpse was still in its prime.

Helpless, he could only risk using the magical power of "Returning Heaven to Sun", sacrificing the power of the law of time, and banishing his own corpse into the turbulent flow of time and space in the Palm of Heaven Bottle.

Anyone who meets all of the above conditions cannot possibly be the Lord of the Hall of Reincarnation, because Shi Kongjie of the first life had already perished and died. The Lord of the Hall of Reincarnation in the second life knew clearly that the little green bottle was in the hands of Li Yuanjiu. It was impossible for him to foresee that the Heaven-Handing Bottle would follow the inertia of time and space and return to that small mountain village!
The key point is that the Lord of the Wheel of Reincarnation would not have taken the initiative to give the Heavenly Palm Bottle to Han Lao Mo! It is known that Han Lao Mo's three corpses are independent and have nothing to do with the Lord of the Wheel of Reincarnation. The two are two independent individuals in one time and two lives!

The three corpses of the Lord of the Wheel of Reincarnation are also absolutely complete! There is no such thing as Han Lao Mo being the future incarnation of the Lord of the Wheel of Reincarnation!
Then this can only be a battle between Han Lao Mo and his ego corpse, a battle between the self and the ego that spans the long river of time and space!
But Old Demon Han was not yet born in this world, and he would not have the Palm of Heaven Bottle to use after he was born. Even if he could barely get started with Changchun Gong, after ten years of practice he could only reach the second or third level of Qi training at most. There was no past or future to speak of.

For example, Xiao Ming travels through time and space to go back to the past to take revenge on Xiao Gang. Xiao Gang bullies Xiao Ming in this life because he was bullied by Xiao Ming in the past, thus forming a closed loop. If someone breaks in and kills Xiao Ming in the original time and space, then Xiao Gang may never have seen Xiao Ming since he was a child.

Now, the possibility of Han Lao Mo's growth has been strangled by Xuyang. What will happen to the person who threatened Shi Kongjie in Jilinkongjing?
Will it complete the normal time loop, lose its own causal support, and disappear into thin air?
Or before realizing that he was about to disappear, he traveled through the time and space storm outside Xiaonanzhou, descended to the human world, and gave Han Lao Mo the 'golden finger' that could enable him to become an immortal, thus completing the time loop again?

Because only when Han Lao Mo rises can the self-corpse be born. Han Lao Mo is the cause and the self-corpse is the result. Without cause, there will be no result!

"Oh my god, this is so brain-burning! This magical power of returning the sun to heaven is really a disaster!" Xuyang was so confused by what he was thinking.

Shi Kongjie saw the clue, looked at Xuyang, and said nervously: "I think you should know who that person is! I risked telling you all this. My ego corpse and my current self have telepathic connection. I said here that the person is now guarding my physical body and the three corpses. There is a possibility that he will notice us. Help me!"

"Of course I will help you. Not to mention that I will repay a favor. I can't just sit back and watch you. That person is also a big threat to me! Hiss! A heretic wandering in the long river of time!" Xuyang felt his scalp tingling and replied in a bad mood, but it seemed that he had no other means to use now.

How to do this?
Cultivate to the Taiyi Stage (Hunyi Zhenshu Realm) as soon as possible, break into the Jilin Void Realm, kill that person face to face, and then tear off his covering robe to see if it is the unprepossessing Han Tianzun? (End of this chapter)
