Chapter 685 From the Ruins to the Tai Xuan Realm

Then this...

Yue Ling felt a surge of excitement; she knew perfectly well what it was.

As a veteran player of "Taishang Xiantu", she was already envious when she heard the news.

Unfortunately, she had offended Bie Xuening during the few days the pre-sale started, and had no time to go online to try and snag a deal...

"Did the lord buy this for her?" the cyan-gold longsword asked curiously.

Yue Ling's eyes lit up.

However, the next second, Chi Jiuyu's words shattered her expectations.

"Of course not, I bought it to play with myself!"

As she spoke, she carried the gift box to the sofa to the right of the coffee table and sat down, beginning to unpack the outer packaging.

He got beaten up and still gave her a gift?
She, the Nine Fishermen Ancestor, isn't stupid!
Yue Ling lay on the beanbag chair, listening to the noises behind her, feeling conflicted.

She wanted to say something, but the thought of having just lectured them both made her feel embarrassed.

I hesitated for five seconds.

Yue Ling suddenly stood up from the beanbag chair.

This scene startled Chi Jiuyu and her natal sword, and they immediately became tense.

Would she really resort to robbing me in a fit of anger?

"What... what do you want to do..." Chi Jiuyu's voice stammered, "You're not trying to steal my things, are you! I'll tell Master!"

Although the cyan-gold longsword was also somewhat afraid, it still stood in front of Chi Jiuyu.

She must protect her lord!
But no matter how you look at it, this man and his sword seem somewhat fierce on the outside but weak on the inside.

Yue Ling looked at them seriously.

"I'll pay double the price you paid! Sell it to me!"

As the ancestral sword of the Sword Sect, she certainly wouldn't do something like 'robbery'.

But it's still possible to buy it.

A while ago, she asked Chi Jiuyu to help her buy a storage ring. She transferred a large amount of spirit coins from that 'ancestral sword account'. After deducting the fee for Chi Jiuyu's help, she still had quite a lot left for herself.

Given her spending habits, she won't need to ask Bie Xuening or Xu Xing for pocket money for a long time.

"Since you don't play much anymore, you might as well sell it to me."

"No, I'm still very interested in the hidden dungeons, I want to keep them for myself."

Like I said, she'd already been beaten up, so she wasn't going to let Yue Ling have her way.

The two sides remained locked in a standoff.

……

……

After half an hour.

Yue Ling walked out of Chi Jiu Yu's cave with the controller in her arms, her little face filled with barely suppressed excitement.

Yes, I finally got it.

Five times the price, plus the cancellation of the review.

Furthermore, under Chi Jiuyu's persuasion, which appealed to their emotions and reason, they reached a consensus that Bie Xuening was the real "big devil".

Actually, thinking about it, it makes sense.

Although Jiu Yu wrote the book "Sword Spirit Training Guide", what can you do when your sword spirit has that kind of personality?
I was being punished by the Lord, so it was indeed wrong of me to take my anger out on her.

Yes!

It's all because the owner is too stingy; what they said was clearly the truth!

She kept hypnotizing herself and soon returned to the foot of the mountain where the Sword Master's Hall was located.

She can't wait to experience the new dungeon in "The Immortal Path"!

However, after climbing the mountain steps and running only a few steps...

But then she saw two figures slowly descending from above, which made her pause and her heart tighten.

"Lord, Lord?!"

Bie Xuening glanced at the person in her arms and said indifferently:

"Have you finished teaching her a lesson?"

"..." Yue Ling blinked, and realizing what was happening, she immediately tensed up and said seriously, "I've finished disciplining her, I beat her up pretty badly!"

The Lord must not know that she has reconciled with Jiu Yu!

"Okay, go back and write a 5,000-word self-criticism. Put some effort into it and hand it in to me tomorrow."

"what?!"

While Yue Ling was still in a daze, Xu Xing and Bie Xuening had already passed her and headed down the mountain.

"My lord, Sword Ancestor, I..."

"Ok?"

A soft sound came from behind.

"fine……"

Yue Ling immediately cowered, her little face contorted in pain.

"I will write it well."

As she watched the two people behind her gradually disappear into the distance, she felt extremely sad.

I still need to play games!

After lingering in place for a while, still unable to come up with a solution, Yue Ling could only continue climbing the mountain.

They arrived at the Sword Master's Hall.

Her face was full of sorrow when she suddenly seemed to remember something.

Eh? !

You can ask Jiu Yu's sword to write it for you!

Isn't she particularly good at these things?!
……

……

Time flies and it’s two days later.

Aside from some trivial matters, something rather 'important' did happen—

Huo successfully used the Immortal Network to send the true god of the 'Ritual' transcendent system, namely 'Xu', back to the Tai Xuan Realm.

He himself did not make a public appearance.

They simply used the power of the Immortal Network to send the person to the Sword Sect.

As for why it was sent to the Sword Sect...

Firstly, his disciple Xiao Fan is currently in a city under the jurisdiction of the Sword Sect.

Secondly, the other fellow Daoists don't talk much, and the only one he chats with most in the group is Daoist Brother.

He wasn't even sure if his fellow cultivators had checked the group chat messages afterward...

Of course, sending the person to the Sword Sect is the safest option.

Sword Sect Inner Sect.

Deep within the courthouse lies the prison.

Since the "Tai Xuan Blood Disaster" years ago, the prison in the Silu Hall used to hold prisoners above the Dao level has not been used for many years.

However, today, this special cage has once again welcomed a 'prisoner' at the Cave True level.

Within a wide, flat, gray space.

A deep, dark gray mist swirled around them, each wisp of which carried a strange power.

The sea of ​​fog surged and churned, and even a true being capable of penetrating the essence of things would become like an ordinary person who had not yet entered the Dao, unable to perceive the boundaries of this space.

Obscure and desolate.

As the name suggests, it is a cage that can make even the most insightful and genuine understanding become obscure and hazy.

At this moment, a massive and complex magic array was located amidst the churning gray mist.

Bright array patterns intertwine and outline, mysterious runes flash continuously, undergoing countless changes in every instant.

At the very center of the magic circle, a strange woman with a gorgeous robe, a curvaceous figure, blonde hair, and green eyes lay quietly, motionless.

It was a ruin.

She seemed to have fallen into a coma, and the true patterns of the 'Ruins' that constituted her no longer flowed as usual.

The light from the magic circle shone on her pale face, revealing a poignant beauty.

I do not know how long it has been.

Boom, boom, boom...

A strange, deep sound, like a muffled drum, came from the depths, instantly creating a sense of unease.

The gray mist that filled every corner also changed, its originally chaotic flow becoming orderly.

The fog surged in both directions, as if a straight passage led into this place.

Soon after, a blurry outline appeared, drew closer, and finally became clear.

The moment the newcomer stepped into the magic circle!
Xu, who had been lying prone in the center of the magic array, suddenly sprang up. Even though its extraordinary characteristics had been suppressed to the extreme by 'Hidden Prison' itself, it still pierced towards the newcomer like a sharp arrow. In a fraction of a second.

The runic needle she held in her right hand, composed of tiny runes, was already close to the person's brow.

It was about to pierce through.

"Oh?"

A question rang out, but without a trace of surprise.

Although nothing seemed to have changed in Xu's perception, the runic needle stopped just before her brow, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't pierce it any further.

"As expected, the suppressive power of the Hui Lao cannot be perfectly exerted against different systems."

After a soft murmur.

Xu felt an irresistible, overwhelming, and terrifying force crushing down upon him.

It was overwhelming, crushing all her resistance in an instant. She was pressed down by this immense force and flew backward uncontrollably.

boom!
There was a muffled sound.

Without any deviation, Xu landed precisely in the very center of the magic array, which was also where she had just been lying down.

How can it be? !
She looked up abruptly, but before she could say anything, her expression changed drastically.

His eyes revealed a tangible terror.

A strange change!

Or rather, this gray area is changing!
She could feel that the suppression that had previously been somewhat inadequate, allowing her to retain some of her extraordinary power and true god-like characteristics, had become comprehensive and absolute because of this change.

The body of a true god is degenerating, and his extraordinary power has completely fallen into silence.

Weak, illusory, insignificant...

It's just like back when I hadn't yet come into contact with the extraordinary.

She stared at the figure in front of her in disbelief.

Even the most powerful true god could not suppress another true god to this extent.

and so……

Is this being before me an unparalleled being, even above true gods?!
"first meet."

The moment the voice rang in his ears, the name of the person in front of him automatically appeared in Xu's mind.

Sword Ancestor!

The progenitor of swordsmanship across all realms!
“Xu…” her voice trembled slightly, “Greetings, Sword Ancestor.”

Another being above true god...

What exactly happened to me?!
"You...I..."

Xu wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say.

After all, she knew very well!

Before such a great being, everything about oneself is revealed at the first glance, and there are absolutely no secrets to be had.

Of course, saying anything is futile.

"No need to be nervous," Xu Xing said calmly.

The moment Xu Xing saw her, he noticed that this 'Xu' possessed some of the abilities of the Bewitching One, seemingly having received 'fortune' from the Bewitching One.

However, that 'fortune' will take some time to take effect.

"I just want to understand some things and make some arrangements."

Xu was the first being to arrive in the Tai Xuan Realm and reach a level above the Dao Integration Realm.

The way she was dealt with...

This will affect some future arrangements to some extent, so a hasty decision cannot be made.

"..." Xu took a deep breath, "I will follow your will."

The tone was respectful and humble.

This attitude surprised Xu Xing, but she also deduced some of the conditions in her original world from it.

For example, that unknown enlightened being might not be an easy person to get along with.

Of course, this is just speculation.

Everything must be understood personally before a decision can be made.

and so……

"Before that, I need to remind you of some things."

The words have fallen!

A wisp of firelight flowed between his palms, transforming into a longsword that was entirely crimson and radiated divine light.

The shield comes from an unknown enlightened being.

Without understanding its principles, it's safest to use Moon Shadow directly.

Ruins: "..."

Looking at the obviously extraordinary longsword in front of her, she was terrified.

Could this great being's statement about 'reminding her of something' mean he'd just use this sword to cut her down?!
"You could have just asked me directly!"

If you want to know anything, just ask!

I promise I will not hide anything!
“What I need to know, you don’t remember now,” Xu Xing said.

Why don't you ask first?

Xu's will to survive was almost overflowing, and he was just about to continue speaking...

Buzz~!

Amidst the clear, resonant sound of the sword, everything that was perceived fell into eternal silence!

Only a single, sharp edge, burning brightly like the light of a torch, divides heaven and earth, severs all things in the universe, and cuts off all causes and effects.

boom!
A crimson light surged skyward, engulfing and severing everything!
The Four Swords of Taixu - The Sword of Interception!

Xu felt as if an invisible shackle deep within his soul had been severed.

In a daze, the strange divine fire condensed into flames that were entangled on every 'True Rune of Ruins' that made up his 'True God Body' was being rapidly wiped away.

Some 'memories' that had been blocked or erased have returned.

I am a 'ruin'...

**The Realm, the witness to the end of the world, the apex true god of the 'Return to Nothingness' lineage, one of the ten great lineages, the supreme being of ***…

Do not!
wrong!

I am the wandering true god, Ruins, here to subdue a special world...

Xu clutched his head almost instantly, his expression constantly changing. His 'True God Body' constructed from runes showed signs of disintegration, and he appeared to be in extreme pain.

But he gritted his teeth and didn't make a sound.

However, it was because the correct memories returned and were mixed with her distorted and altered memories.

At this moment, her mind was in turmoil, and even she herself couldn't distinguish which memory was real.

Xu Xing watched quietly, the crimson light flowing from the longsword in his hand, seemingly with no intention of swinging it again.

Three minutes passed like this.

Xu's eyes gradually regained their clarity.

"hu~hu~"

She gasped for breath and forced herself to stand up.

After calming myself down...

"Rust, the witness to the end of the world, greets Your Majesty."

Thanks to the 'Sword of Interception', the negative status of 'erased memories' on her body was removed, and she has successfully regained her memories.

"I wonder what Your Majesty wishes to know? I will answer truthfully."

They've been abandoned...

I was actually abandoned!

why!
Why would the supreme being take away the treasure, yet abandon itself?
He stayed near that realm so that the supreme being could recover!
He had been working tirelessly to restore the Supreme Being...

An overwhelming resentment surged within her, almost burning away her reason.

Concerns about the original world?
Loyalty to the supreme being?

But go to hell!

"No need, I know everything I need to know," Xu Xing said calmly.

The long sword in his hand transformed into a wisp of red light and disappeared.

He doesn't need the answers from the Ruins to know what he wants to know.

only……

The status of those who attain enlightenment is extraordinary.

Even though he restored the memories of the Void through the 'Sword of Interception', he still couldn't learn some key information, such as the name of the world and the true name of the unknown enlightened one.
