Destiny is ashes

Chapter 773: The Place of Judgment, Miro Heavenly Book (5200)

Aiming at Miao Yunying in front of him, An Jing raised the killing sword.

The atmosphere automatically separated in front of the sword that was bringing disaster. The restless evil spirits seemed to have sensed the command of their master and began to spontaneously gather together, becoming a sword that flowed along the tip of the sword, like a white line that divided everything and pointed directly at Miao Yunying's forehead.

It was only a millimeter away from Miao Yunying's forehead. With just a thought, Miao Yunying's head would be pierced through.

Miao Yunying did not dodge, he just raised his head slightly so that An Jing's sword energy could be aimed more accurately.

"I……"

He said in an almost dreamy tone, "What do I look like now?"

"Half man, half dragon."

An Jing's mind moved, and the surrounding water vapor condensed into a mirror-like sword blade, reflecting Miao Yunying's current face. After seeing his own appearance in the mirror, he gradually came to his senses and forced a smile: "It seems not bad, this fallen immortal... has not completely turned into a monster."

"Why did the immortal fall?"

An Jing was not a very patient person, but Miao Yunying was worth asking a few more questions, especially since the other party did not have any hostile intentions and did not seem to want to block his way. "But you can answer this question later. I have to activate the sect's formation first."

"not now."

Miao Yunying said, and when he said this, An Jing's sword energy pierced through his skull, but Miao Yunying remained unmoved: "The mountain gate formation has been tampered with by the Shangxuan Sect. If it is activated now, it will only cause everyone to fall from the immortal world."

"However, the problem is not big. If I am not mistaken, there are not many living people in Mingjing Sect and Taiming Sect now... Everyone is in the form of souls, and it is difficult for them to become immortals."

An Jing exhaled. He did not ask what the meaning of "why the formation caused all the people to fall into deity" and "no one from either sect survived", but said in a deep voice: "It seems that you knew a lot from the beginning - then why didn't you tell us?"

Miao Yunying smiled bitterly: "Brother An, we don't know what you did either - what's more, although we didn't communicate with each other, we actually joined forces to fight the enemy. It's just that the enemies are too many and too strong. Even if we joined forces from the beginning, we would inevitably end up in the current situation in the end."

"At this point, Master Biying is working hard to modify the formation and use the secrets of the Shangxuan Sect for his own benefit. If so, the losses caused by Master Fujing may be able to be compensated."

An Jing really couldn't refute this point.

Although he knew that those "traitors" all had their own plans, he did not know the specific details. Now, even if no one of them really rebelled, facing the enemy's absolute superiority in hard power, no matter how many plans he had, it would be useless.

Not to mention, if those True Lords had not betrayed and obtained a lot of resources from other forces, and helped An Jing and others attract attention, An Jing's plan would probably not have been so smooth.

Miao Yunying knew all of this. Not only that, he also planned with these inner ghosts just like he cooperated with Chengguang Patriarch and others.

This is not surprising.

An Jing returned to the sect too late. When he returned, everything had already been decided. Even if An Jing himself was the trend and could force Xi Yi to become a Heavenly Monarch and open up a new path, many things had already ended before he returned to the sect.

"Master Fu Jing."

Miao Yunying opened his mouth, his forehead pierced by An Jing's sword energy, and as he spoke, aquamarine blood flowed down his forehead, like fine stardust: "He 'cooperated' with the Heavenly Demon, stealing its fundamental secret technique 'Great Desire World Devouring Method', intending to melt the true teachings of all the real people on and off Shihui Peak, as well as the ancestor himself, into the elixir, to assist True Lord Xiyi, or True Lord Chenyin to achieve Heavenly Lord."

"This method can shatter the barriers in people's hearts, the boundaries between the flesh and the law, and even the cave world. It is the fundamental secret method of the devil that devours all things. The probability of success is 99%. The two True Lords are actually only one step away from becoming Heavenly Lords, unless there is help from a great force, or they use the devil to defy the will of heaven and change their fate."

"And the purpose of Master Shadow's great-grandfather's cooperation with the Upper Mysterious Sect is actually very simple, which is..."

As he said this, Miao Yunying smiled and raised his hand, pointing to his face and the dragon horn on his left side: "Falling Immortal."

"The Shangxuan Sect has a secret method with a very complicated principle. To put it simply, it turns a core protective formation that connects all the spiritual lands in the sect into a formation that can cause all people in the spiritual lands to become immortals. If nothing unexpected happens, according to Master's speculation, the Taiming Sect will send all its forces to fight a great battle with our Mingjing Sect that will not end even if we die."

"Based on the strength of both sides, the Taiming Sect could definitely break in, at least that was the case at the time. None of us could have imagined that you, An Jing, could cause such a huge change."

At this point, Miao Yunying sighed with some regret: "In short, this is a method of mutual destruction. By then, all the members of my Mingjing Sect and Taiming Sect will be killed, and the entire northern part of Beixuan Jizhou will fall into great chaos. I wonder if An Jing knows the news about Nanhuang Hongzhou? The chaos there is the result of the Shangxuan Sect secretly controlling it from behind."

An Jing's mind raced as he immediately recalled what he had learned from chatting with Jin Yanhua and the others... Yes, many of the Yun Palace team's core fighters, such as his master's other good friend Xie Mingfei, and the spiritual bird Yun Yanxia, ​​spent most of their time dealing with problems in Nanhuanghong, and the problem there was a 'Ling Xiao Xian Duo'!
"Could it be..." An Jing asked solemnly, and Miao Yunying nodded: "Think about it carefully. The Taiming Sect is a top sect colliding with my Mingjing Sect, a top sect. No matter what the result is, the final winner will get unparalleled luck. If my Mingjing Sect wins, then the Haotian Mirror may be able to use the power of Sansheng to return to its original state, with Lingxiao's foundation. If the Taiming Sect wins, the entire Chenli will be theirs. Not to mention that the Sansheng Mirror can be further improved, it is not surprising that a Lingxiao will appear."

"But that Ling Xiao will fall from grace the moment he achieves success."

An Jing's heart sank.

Miao Yunying did not lie. Combining information and signs from all sides, this was very likely.

What the Shangxuan Sect wants has never been simple profit, but rather turmoil and chaos in other continents, so that they can act recklessly and seize the real foundation like the fragments of the Haotian Mirror.

If Ling Xiao of Taiming Sect becomes an immortal like Ling Xiao of Nanhuang Hongzhou, no matter what other sects think, at least the Dachen Dynasty will have a headache, especially the Lord of the Imperial Court. This generation's Emperor Xuantian has not yet reached Lingxiao, and the other two Lingxiao Tianzuns cannot leave their respective areas at will. I'm afraid the entire north will be completely destroyed!
If it weren't for me, True Lord Biying would definitely push forward this plan without hesitation, treating the entire Mingjing Sect as a big bomb and blowing up the Taiming Sect and even the Dachen Dynasty!

But now, Biying was definitely regretting it, or in other words, he had other ideas. At least, after seeing Xiyi become a Heavenly Sovereign and the Mingjing Sect was not certain to lose, but had a certain chance of winning, he gave up such an extreme idea.

But here comes the problem.

"Brother Miao, you are the disciple of Grandmaster Fu Jing."

An Jing raised his eyebrows and asked calmly, "But you did not follow Xue Dan, but participated in Bi Ying's plan - and now, you have fallen from immortality early, why is that?"

Miao Yunying shook her head: "In fact, I didn't participate at all. I just knew about it, and even secretly opposed it at the beginning."

An Jing asked: "Why?"

"Because I'm scared."

The fallen warrior laughed, he closed his eyes with a smile, as if recalling: "I am scared to death."

"It's shameful, isn't it? I actually want to live."

"No matter whether it is the plan of Grandmaster Fujing or Grandmaster Biying, no one will be spared. The entire northern part of Beixuan Jizhou will be turned into a disaster land. It is impossible for me, and neither can Qinghui."

"Of course, this is just an excuse. In fact, my blood is calling for longevity and immortality. It is telling me to continue and exist forever."

"Brother An, I'm not lying. In fact, I have always had a vague feeling that I might be the last person in my hometown."

"Because the book I carried in my cradle is a legacy that only the most powerful cultivators in the Jiandao Palace can obtain."

As he said this, Miao Yun raised his hand and projected a Taoist scripture written with leaves from a golden sacred tree. The seven characters of [Mi Luo Tian Jian Dao Miao Lu] shone brightly.

He stared at the seven big words and couldn't help laughing. "With my strength, I am the strongest in the whole tribe? Haha, in fact, the tribe has been exterminated. I want to survive. Although I don't know anything, my biological parents and the tribe I belong to used all their strength to send many children like me out. This must be an extremely grand story."

"Although I know nothing, everything, all the sorrows and joys of my hometown, those epics and legends, those creations and classics, whether they are cultivators or mortals, everything they have is entrusted to me."

"I can't die."

Miao Yunying said firmly, and her tone turned gentle in an instant: "Until I have a child."

"My child is about to be born, and I won't be the only one of my ethnic group, I..."

"You can die."

"You don't have to die."

An Jing said. He knew that True Lord Biying was now in the center of the formation, so he was not in a hurry.

Because no matter how much this True Lord wanted to fight with the Taiming Sect, after knowing that the Mingjing Sect had the possibility of winning, he would never allow the Shangxuan Sect to reap the benefits. Even if he still had other ideas, at least he would not allow the Taiming Sect's mountain gate to fall and completely destroy the Mingjing Sect.

As expected - as rays of light lit up from the center of the formation, the virtual and real formation patterns on the outermost side of the Mingjing Sect's mountain protection formation had lit up, and the many dark evil attacks that fell from the sky were converted into nothingness and disappeared.

The formation has been initially activated, and True Lord Biying has indeed not really rebelled.

Now, there is only one unclear point.

So who is the real hidden mastermind behind Miao Yunying?
"You can live." An Jing repeated, "Only if you tell me the truth, I can help you."

“There is no chance of me surviving.”

Miao Yunying shook his head slightly at the step An Jing offered, and did not take a single step forward. However, he did not riddle anyone, but directly told An Jing the reason: "Brother An, I have fallen into immortality, but my bloodline is special, and I am not a native of Huaixu, so I can barely control it and stay awake for a short time."

"It was Shangxuan who controlled me. The reason why I stayed halfway up the mountain was not to stop you, nor to protect Master Biying, but because Shangxuan was planning to control me and attack Master Biying."

It was not Miao Yunying who stopped An Jing, but Miao Yunying who stopped himself and did not attack True Lord Biying.

Hearing this, An Jing did not ask such a stupid question as "You can't even beat me, how can you attack the True Lord?" It was obvious that the Shangxuan Sect had its own means. As long as Miao Yunying completely became their tool, they had enough ways to deal with Biying.

He got to the root of the problem: "How do they control you? Brother Miao, with my sword, no matter the law or cause and effect, I will be able to cut it off!"

In Miao Yunying's eyes, the sword of [Killing and Bringing Disaster] flashed with incredible light, and behind An Jing, the seven-layered light wheel of five colors of light and darkness rotated, causing this young warrior who was half-immortal to open his eyes wide: "So, you are..."

"But... it's too late."

At this moment, Miao Yunying showed a regretful expression for the first time: "It's still too late, Brother An - from the beginning, I couldn't survive."

"You all know that I am a baby who descended from the void and landed in the Mingjing Sect."

"But this is not a coincidence. It was controlled by someone. My initial fall was not in the Mingjing Sect, but in another area with fragments of the Haotian Mirror... That is, the Shangxuan Sect."

"Because my hometown, the cave called [Miro Guandao Heaven], is the ancient Taoist court, the place where the heavens are supervised and inspected - as the name suggests, the Taoist soldiers guarding this place of Guandao Dutian are none other than [Haotian Mirror]!"

After telling the truth, Miao Yunying paused, and three eyes began to appear on his right cheek. The dragon pupils emitting a cyan-blue glow were extremely cold, in stark contrast to the gentleness contained in Miao Yunying's own pupils. After stabilizing his body, he continued, "Of course, the Haotian Mirror had long been separated from Miroguan Daotian and came to Beixuan Sacrifice Continent, where it was passed down from generation to generation until the Imperial God Court was destroyed and the Haotian Mirror was shattered by the catastrophe."

"And Miroguan Daotian fell some time ago. I was probably thrown out during that time. Due to the connection of cause and effect, I fell to the place where the Haotian Mirror is. The landing point of the cave is in Beixuanjizhou, the oldest and most mysterious [Place of Origin] in the entire Beixuanjizhou."

"It was originally an ancient forbidden area, and it has been difficult to enter since ancient times. The fall of Miroguan Daotian has opened a gap. All the sects are interested in the information contained in Miroguan Daotian about the ancient Dao Court observing the heavens, but if they want to enter it, they need 'guidance'."

Raising his hand, Miao Yunying pointed at himself, and then pointed at the Mingjing Cave Heaven on the top of Mingjing Mountain: "I, or rather, the fragment of Haotian Mirror, is the guide."

"My arrival in the Mingjing Sect was originally planned by the Shangxuan Sect. If nothing unexpected happens, after my fall from the immortal realm, I will be controlled by the Shangxuan Sect through secret methods, and my strength will soar to an incredible level, and I will be able to seize the fragments of the Haotian Mirror from the inside. In this way, the Shangxuan Sect, which has obtained the final key, can not only repair the Taoist soldiers, but also open the Land of Judgment and obtain the secrets of the Taoist Court at the core of the Miro Temple. Kill three birds with one stone, who can beat them?"

"I see no victory in the future. This is what is written in the Book of Heaven."

An Jing had been listening in silence, but after hearing this, he couldn't help but ask, "Heavenly Book?"

"The Daoist weapon of the Shangxuan Sect, the [Dayan Heavenly Book]." Miao Yunying said softly, his voice returning to the initial haziness of half-sleep and half-wakefulness: "When the Shangxuan Sect intended to control me, the Heavenly Book contacted me... because I am the last inheritor of the 'Mi Luo Tian Jian Dao Miao Lu'... Just like the [Three Lives Mirror] and the [Hao Tian Mirror], the [Mi Luo Heavenly Book] and the [Dayan Heavenly Book] are also similarly related. The one that records the secrets of the Dao Court in the core of the Mi Luo Jian Dao Tian is probably another Daoist weapon, the [Mi Luo Heavenly Book]..."

“He showed me countless futures… The best of the best is that Uncle Mingguangchen breaks through the Great Heaven Manifestation, defeats the Shangxuan Sect’s Jinyuan Tianxingzhe, returns to the sect, and is given the authority to obtain the fragments of the Clear Sky Mirror by the Chengguang Tianjun… After that, Patriarch Chengguang fights with the Taiming Sect’s Tianjun, and both sides almost perish together, but the Taiming side has the blessing of the Three Lives Mirror, and the ancestor is thrown into the netherworld… With the help of Uncle Biying and me, Uncle Mingguangchen opens the Taixu Gate, allowing the Shangxuan Sect’s Tianjun and the Taiming Sect’s Tianjun to fight, and obtains the fragments of the Clear Sky Mirror himself, just like Patriarch Jiankong merged with the fragments of the Divine Mirror.”

"During this process, the Heavenly Monarchs of Shangxuan Taiming tried to stop it, but Patriarch Chengguang used his profound skills again and burned his last breath, fighting to the death. In the end, Uncle Mingguangchen took the fragments of the Haotian Mirror and went to an unknown and extremely mysterious area... Although the Mingjing Sect had a glimmer of hope, it was completely weakened in the end."

"but……"

After finishing speaking, Miao Yunying raised his head, and his dragon pupils and human eyes stared at An Jing, which contained extremely complicated emotions: "But there is no you in the Heavenly Book, Brother An."

"You are a miracle beyond fate, an unpredictable possibility, a brand new future!"

"I am the puppet chosen by the Shangxuan Sect, the first of the younger generation. If time is long enough, they will wait until I become the sect leader before taking action - so I am very happy to lose to you, because you are the real hope of the Mingjing Sect. No matter what, the sect will not be controlled."

"So, I choose to tell you everything here, just hoping you can do one thing."

An Jing had already guessed it.

Ever since he knew that Luo Qinghui had a child and Miao Yunying had made up her mind since then, he understood what Miao Yunying wanted to do.

However, even though he already knew it, An Jing still sighed and asked his final question.

"What do you want me to do?"

"Kill me."

Miao Yunying smiled. A second dragon horn began to grow on his forehead, and a long tail that looked like countless sword blades appeared behind him. His momentum was rising like a volcanic eruption. Above the sky, there was a rain of thunder that rose and fell like the sky was angry. "Completely destroy the back-up plan and plot of the Shangxuan Sect."

"In this way, Brother An, my child is the only key for our Mingjing Sect to open the core area of ​​the ancient Land of Origin and obtain the [Mirao Heavenly Book] and [Ancient Secrets of the Dao Court]!"
