Chapter 300: Robbed
No matter how outstanding a person is, once he fades out of people's sight for a long time, he will eventually be forgotten.

More than three years may be just a moment for a cultivator, but it has ultimately changed a lot.

Especially more than two years ago, someone revealed that Zhong Lixiao's soul lamp in Changqing Palace was extinguished. After causing a brief uproar in the world of immortal cultivation, news about Zhong Lixiao gradually began to decrease.

Even if someone mentions it occasionally, most people just sigh.

When Zhong Lixiao was still alive, all the saints, Taoists, holy women and devils in the world trembled under his shadow.

but.

When people all over the world began to confirm that Zhong Lixiao had really died in the Demonic Lamp Realm, perhaps all that was left was sighing.

Not only that, the world's evaluation of Zhong Lixiao suddenly became positive.

The fact that he had fought with Zhong Lixiao in the past had gradually become a topic of conversation.

If we were to say who were the only ones injured, they would probably be the Baiyun Temple, the Taiyang Zhong family, and even the Guizang Peak and Diling Peak lineage.

In other words, the entire branch of the meridian began to decline.

Take Taiyang Zhongshi as an example. Its upward expansion momentum was interrupted and it was forced to begin an all-round strategic contraction.

If it weren't for the continued care of Baiyun Temple, the Taiyang Zhong family might have declined even faster.

I heard that even after two or three years, Zheng Yangzi of Zhuque Peak still curses from time to time, and this makes those who know the situation very wary and they dare not do anything too extreme.

but.

Everyone knows that even the relationship between a master and a disciple like that between Zheng Yangzi and others will eventually be worn out.

They are not in a hurry!
As for those who felt the deepest, perhaps they were Zhong Lixiao's three disciples, as well as Zhong Suqiuyun, Zhong Suxin and other members of the Zhong family.

In the past, when Zhong Lixiao was still alive, the light was so dazzling that it illuminated them all.

To the point that they themselves have reached a height that does not belong to them!
Take Zhong Suyun for example. She first entered as an inner disciple, and soon attracted much attention due to the rise of Zhong Lixiao.

Later, with the emergence of the ground network and the large-scale promotion of the Five Spirit Mirror, Zhong Suyun listened to Zhong Lixiao's advice and quickly transformed herself into a travel blogger.

Her fame and influence soon reached heights she could never have imagined.

With the blessing of being the first to try out the latest trends, and the halo of being Zhong Lixiao's clan sister, any of her videos will receive countless likes.

But now, Zhong Suyun clearly feels what it means to be "outdated".

Even if he works harder than before, he still loses a lot of fans.

This caused Zhong Suyun to feel a huge psychological gap, and she even found it difficult to accept it for a while.

What made her even more uncomfortable was that the negative comments about her on the Internet were pouring in like a tide.

Some people attacked her figure, some criticized her style, and some laughed at her for being just a country girl.
This made Zhong Suyun, whose halo had faded, feel even more deeply the correctness of her unwavering belief in being a good dodder.

It’s not that she is no longer capable, but that she has lost her backing!

On the contrary, Zhong Suxin is relatively better. Although she was also very popular in the past, she has never been a person who lacks love since she was a child.

Although there is a huge psychological gap without the halo of Zhong Lixiao's clan sister, Zhong Suxin's ability to accept is much stronger after all.

Not only that, she even took the initiative to take on the responsibility of taking care of some of the tribesmen who joined later.

Even though she was only at the foundation-building stage now, and even though many of the tribesmen had been spoiled and somewhat looked down upon her small amount of care, Zhong Suxin still tried her best.

Even though her little bit of care was ridiculed, Zhong Suxin did not get angry, but just firmly did her best.

As I said, it is impossible for a person to have youth and at the same time have an understanding of youth.

After losing the shining light of Zhong Lixiao, the pride of heaven, many people in the Taiyang Zhong family returned to their original colors.

Everyone is experiencing unprecedented pain!
of course.

These have little to do with Zhong Lixiao now!

Apart from his parents, uncles of their generation, and the ancestor Zhong Anhe, the other members of the Taiyang Zhong clan could only be regarded as strangers with partial blood ties to Zhong Lixiao.

In fact, the opposite is also true.

In short, three years have passed, and the traces left by Zhong Lixiao in the world are slowly disappearing.

Even those powerful people who wanted to achieve enlightenment and were wary of him in the past, now basically no longer pay attention to Zhong Lixiao's existence.

The world of magic lamp.

Mysterious Stone Palace.

After Zhong Lixiao showed his insights from cultivation over the past three years, his master Xu Xuanzi also began to show Zhong Lixiao his enlightenment over the past three years.

Xu Xuanzi just cast a spell, and the Five Spirits Mingjing Tower began to emerge bit by bit, and then the phantom of Floating Cloud Fairy City appeared, which was built bit by bit from nothing.

It was almost like peeling off silk from an onion, showing Zhong Lixiao the formation, purpose, and key points of his Dharma scene bit by bit.

Zhong Lixiao saw this and felt infinite joy in his heart.

A Dharma scene can definitely be regarded as the highest manifestation of a Yuanying Zhenjun's lifelong enlightenment!
Take Guanghan Immortal Mansion as an example. Looking throughout the entire sect, there are only two or three Dharma scenes passed down.

Grandma Hu Yue comprehended one of the Hu Yue methods and immediately gained an extremely high status in Guanghan Immortal Mansion.

Looking at the entire world of immortal cultivation, he can be considered a formidable master.

As for Baiyun Temple, Zhong Lixiao has not been qualified to come into contact with the Fajing inheritance within the sect so far.

But now, Master Xu Xuanzi showed him the Fajing inheritance he had obtained in an almost disassembled way, in all aspects.

Xu Xuanzi smiled and said, "Don't think too much. If you don't meet a wise man to pass on the secret, it's useless to talk in vain. The reason why I am willing to teach you the way of Fajing is because you have the understanding, Lixiao!"

Upon hearing this, Zhong Lixiao immediately threw away all distracting thoughts and followed his master's analysis, understanding his master's Dharma scene bit by bit.

Xu Xuanzi nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile, "It is not entirely true that Master created this Dharma Scene."

"The foundation of Floating Cloud Immortal City is to sell safety to independent cultivators. Where does this safety come from?"

Zhong Lixiao said, "Baiyun Temple has a strong background and reputation. If someone challenges the rules set by Baiyun Temple in Fuyun Fairy City, Baiyun Temple must be able to kill the challenger, or at least suppress it."

Fuyunzi immediately smiled and said, "Indeed, this is the essence of this Dharma scene of my master. Suppressing it with the shadow of Fuyun Fairy City is essentially suppressing it with the rules and order of Baiyun Temple."

Zhong Lixiao nodded.

He understands this very well!
Because this is essentially the same as the magical power "Law of Power" he obtained from his second disciple Ning Yunzhi.

The blessing of the magical power "Law of Power" is essentially the realization of all the sect's intangible assets, including the power background of Baiyun Temple, the reputation of Baiyun Temple, the rules established by Baiyun Temple, etc.

Zhong Lixiao realized this through his supernatural powers, but his master Xu Xuanzi relied on his own wisdom and strength to monetize these intangible assets, which even Zhong Lixiao admired very much.

Xu Xuanzi is worthy of being a veteran Nascent Soul cultivator. His talent and wisdom are absolutely impeccable, and there are still many things worth learning from him.

Feeling the admiring and humble gaze of his disciple, Xu Xuanzi was immediately greatly benefited.

"A thought arises in the mind, and a technique is born in the hand. Once you are able to endow the magic with strong subjective characteristics, you will be able to elevate the small technique into a great technique that contains the meaning of the law."

"Take the mountain of Dharma power of Li Xiao for example. You often suppress others like a mountain and make them unable to move. This is essentially a manifestation of your mastery of Dharma power."

Zhong Lixiao nodded immediately after hearing this.

Because of the existence of the magical power "Fujun Niangniang", Zhong Lixiao has always been most adept at the magic of the mountains.

One hand pressing down is like a mountain pressing down, and even the Witch of Bliss cannot escape.

And now, after comprehending the Holy Prison Dharma, Zhong Lixiao has taken a step further.

After pinning someone down, you can even seal them with the Holy Prison Technique.

It's just like sealing Sun Wukong with the Five Finger Mountain!
Seeing that Zhong Lixiao had already understood this, Xu Xuanzi went deeper and said, "The so-called 'Dharma Scene' is to sublimate the Dharma's meaning to its extreme, or even to fix it."

“After determining this framework, we can continue to add new legal meanings into it.”

"Take Floating Cloud Fairy City for example. Before I, the master, plan to refine it into a Dharma Scene, the first thing I need to do is to make such a city truly exist in the real world."

"It relies on Baiyun Temple as its backing and background, and the prestige of Baiyun Temple as the foundation of all its laws. Once someone violates the rules of Baiyun Temple, Baiyun Temple will eradicate them at all costs."

"Thus, the rules of Floating Cloud Fairy City have a suppressive effect."

"It's like when a country is prosperous, all evil spirits dare not cause trouble, but when a country declines, evil spirits will inevitably arise."

Zhong Lixiao seemed to understand something.

Subconsciously I thought of the realm of mountains and rivers!
Within the realm of mountains and rivers, he is the absolute master.

It seems that the two can be combined with Fajing!

Xu Xuanzi was not in a hurry either, and waited quietly for Zhong Lixiao to digest the various knowledge he had taught.

After a long while, confirming that Zhong Lixiao had almost digested it, Xu Xuanzi continued, "Floating Cloud Immortal City is not just my own. Zheng Yangzi and many disciples from Suzaku Peak have provided it with fire veins and energy sources."

"Changchunzi and his disciples from Dongfeng have arranged various colorful flowers for Fuyun Immortal City."

"Lüqiu Bai and his disciples from Beifeng have arranged water veins for Fuyun Fairy City, ensuring that the city has no worries about water."

"All of this has strengthened the weight of Floating Cloud Immortal City, and therefore, the suppression effect of Floating Cloud Immortal City has become stronger."

"Later, I, the old Taoist, created the Five Spirits Bright View Tower to connect Floating Cloud Immortal City with other immortal cities. Together with you, we created the underground network, which once again helped Floating Cloud Immortal City to communicate with each other, allowing people to know what was happening in the world without leaving home. It even allowed Floating Cloud Immortal City to continue to increase its wealth and popularity, and began to siphon off the world's population."

"Now, I have learned some of the sealing methods of the Holy Prison Law in the Stone Hall. The law scene of Floating Cloud Fairy City will only be more perfect."

Zhong Lixiao was shocked when he heard this.

From this perspective, if Master Xu Xuanzi were to use all his strength, this magical scene would probably be terrifyingly powerful.

Seeing Zhong Lixiao's longing look, Fu Yunzi smiled and then shook his head regretfully.

"Do you feel strong?"

Zhong Lixiao nodded honestly.

Xu Xuanzi said helplessly, "It is very strong, but it is also limited."

Zhong Lixiao asked curiously, "Why is this?"

Xu Xuanzi: "To truly build a Dharma scene from scratch is extremely difficult. Take a good look at this Floating Cloud Fairy City of your master."

Xu Xuanzi did not hold back at all, and Zhong Lixiao immediately began to observe carefully with his spiritual sense.

Soon, Zhong Lixiao couldn't help but frown.

How to describe it?
Too rough!

It is called the Floating Cloud Fairy City, but in essence it is just a small projection.

The details really can't stand up to scrutiny and are completely a mess.

"Master, why is this happening?"

Xu Xuanzi: "The reason is simple. Human power is limited. It's hard to cross the mortal world with a mortal. Even if it's just a mortal, can you still understand him all the time?"

Zhong Lixiao nodded in agreement.

This is indeed impossible!
Xu Xuanzi: "This is the trade-off that the Dharma Scene must make. What I chose is the safety, convenience, and interoperability of Floating Cloud Fairy City. Even if it is combined with the seal of the Holy Prison Dharma, it is essentially about safety." Zhong Lixiao nodded as if he had realized something, and asked curiously, "How powerful is this Dharma Scene, Master?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Xuanzi immediately said complacently, "It's just normal. If we catch him off guard, and he doesn't have any magical tools to protect him, even a late Nascent Soul cultivator might be crushed to death by my Immortal City."

Zhong Lixiao was stunned.

This is definitely a cross-level challenge!
Great!

"What if he's in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul?"

Xu Xuanzi's eyebrows immediately danced with joy, "If anyone in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul falls into my immortal city, unless they possess magical weapons or possess other extremely powerful spells, I will make sure they never return."

Great!

One is willing to teach, the other is willing to learn, teaching and learning benefit each other, and teachers and students make progress together.

Time passed by little by little in this teaching atmosphere, and the two even forgot that they were trapped in the devilish land of Demon Lamp Realm.

In the blink of an eye, another year has passed.

Under the guidance of his master Xu Xuanzi, Zhong Lixiao built the framework of the Floating Cloud Fairy City from scratch.

Although it is just a frame, it is quite impressive.

The next step is to continue filling in various details!
Take the "heavy power" derived from Xu Xuanzi as an example. Zhong Lixiao would never be able to cultivate it in a short period of time.

From this, we can also see how ambitious Xu Xuanzi was when he created the "Kunyu Wanguo Tudian", a technique that aims to construct the Eight Scenes and Eight Poles.

of course.

Zhong Lixiao's brilliant ideas would sometimes give Xu Xuanzi a flash of inspiration, or even make him stare in amazement.

Take the fusion of the Holy Domain Law and the Fairy City Law for example, Zhong Lixiao mentioned the combination of the Holy Prison Law and the Fairy City Law.

It is even necessary to make all laws public and transparent, and if violated, they will be sealed or even punished with the Holy Land Law.

Since it is a magical scene in the fairy city, we should follow the rules of the fairy city and not rely entirely on the strength and prestige of Baiyun Temple.

This made Xu Xuanzi suddenly enlightened!

Is this principle difficult?

No, it’s just that Xu Xuanzi has always been looking down from a high vantage point and can hardly see the low grass on the ground.

Of course, this kind of legal improvement does not happen overnight.

It may take more than ten years, or even decades, for these laws to truly take root in people's hearts.

When Zhong Lixiao finally learned the principle of this magic scene, although he was reluctant, he still took the initiative to say, "Master, I will take you out of the Demon Lamp Realm."

Xu Xuanzi smiled and said, "Are you sure?"

Zhong Lixiao nodded and said, "The Eye of Heaven and Earth sealed here in the Fallen Demon Lamp can continuously refine some extremely high-grade Heavenly Dew. It is no exaggeration to say that this Heavenly Dew is a miraculous power that can seize the fortune of heaven and earth. Although the curse of the Demon Lamp Realm is strong, it cannot withstand the Heavenly Dew."

"The Sinful Demon Lamp has been contaminated, and most of the Heavenly Dew has been used to offset the contamination within the lamp, resulting in a pitifully low output."

"We've been in the Demonic Lamp Realm for nearly five years, and even though our disciples are actively extracting the Heavenly Dew, this has greatly accelerated the process, but we're still only barely able to gather enough for a single drop."

"Master is old and has not much time left. This drop of heavenly dew can not only help Master get rid of the pollution, but also help Master live longer."

"After Master leaves, I can continue to extract the dew from the heavens here. It won't be a problem for me to come out again in a few years."

"Master is not only the master of the Eight Meridians and Eight Peaks, but also the backbone of our Guizang Peak."

Zhong Lixiao said a lot of things, hoping that his master would not refuse and would follow his arrangements in everything.

After Xu Xuanzi listened to the whole thing, he suddenly laughed and scolded, "Why are you acting like a little girl? We are all cultivators. What's the big deal if we haven't seen each other for a few years? Stop being so fussy!"

Zhong Lixiao was stunned for a moment, then he started laughing.

Also!

Compared with his master, it seems that his mentality has not yet changed.

For a cultivator, a few years is not too long.

Zhong Lixiao's mind moved, and he immediately stretched out his hand to take out the drop of extracted heavenly dew from the Sinful Demon's Lamp.

Seeing this drop of heavenly dew floating in front of him, Xu Xuanzi couldn't help but feel a strong desire to swallow it.

This is a desire that comes from the instinct of life!
Xu Xuanzi looked at Zhong Lixiao and said, "Then Master can swallow it!"

Zhong Lixiao laughed and said, "Why are you acting like a little girl? Stop being so nagging!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Xuanzi was speechless.

This brat has no respect for his elders!

But my heart is still very warm!
Xu Xuanzi opened his mouth and sucked the drop of heavenly dew into his mouth immediately.

Xu Xuanzi's body trembled and he shuddered instinctively.

Afterwards, a large amount of strange and twisted black mist was forced out of the body, which was the terrifying curse in the Demon Lamp Realm.

These curses were forced out of the body and even intended to counterattack again, but under the power of Tianlu, they were quickly burned out.

Not only that, Zhong Lixiao also saw that his master Xu Xuanzi's skin complexion had improved a lot at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The most obvious thing is the gray hair on my head, which has now turned much darker.

After a long time, Xu Xuanzi finally realized the benefits of Tianlu and burst into laughter excitedly.

"Good, good, with this drop of heavenly dew, my master's life span has been extended by at least three hundred years. It has even removed many of the hidden injuries that have accumulated over the years. My cultivation to the late Nascent Soul stage is basically a sure thing. If I have another opportunity, I might even be able to aspire to the Divine Transformation stage!"

The laughing Xu Xuanzi seemed to be living a second life, his whole body exuding a sense of confidence and assertiveness.

Zhong Lixiao was also filled with joy from the bottom of his heart, and congratulated, "Congratulations, Master. Congratulations, Master."

Xu Xuanzi stroked his beard and said with a smile, "This is all thanks to Li Xiao. If you were not my master, even if I entered the Demon Lamp Realm, I would probably end up like Wu Chenzi, Hu Yue and the others, being cursed and having to linger in the seal."

Zhong Lixiao also smiled from the bottom of his heart.

He quite agrees with what his master said!

This opportunity in the Demon Lamp Realm is absolutely impossible to obtain without refining a projection of the Fallen Demon Lamp and obtaining the real body of the Fallen Demon Lamp.

but.

Just as Master Xu Xuanzi said, he indeed changed the fate of many people.

But in Zhong Lixiao's heart, didn't his master save him from danger when he was at his lowest and most insecure?

Everything is just about mutual achievement!
After another round of greetings, Zhong Lixiao officially began to escort his master out of the Demonic Lamp Realm.

Zhong Lixiao stretched out his hand, and Xu Xuanzi was branded with one ancient and mysterious spell after another by Zhong Lixiao.

This spell is exactly the spell that seals the Sinful Demon Lamp in the stone hall, and the Holy Prison Method is just a fragment of it.

Not only did Xu Xuanzi have mysterious spells appear on his body, but Zhong Lixiao did as well.

As soon as this spell was uttered, Xu Xuanzi's whole body was immediately sealed so that not a single bit of his energy could leak out.

Afterwards, Zhong Lixiao took his master Xu Xuanzi and flew all the way to the gate of the Demon Sect.

Compared to the difficulty of rushing to the Stone Palace, it is much easier to return to the outskirts of the Demon Sect's mountain gate at this time.

The reason for all this is that the energy of the two is not leaked at all.

In the eyes of these fallen demons in the Demonic Lamp Realm, they don't even exist.

Without interference, there is naturally not much danger.

As for the active formation inside the Demon Sect's mountain gate, it naturally would not be activated rashly because it could not sense the aura of the two.

Everything is quiet!

What the two of them didn't know was that after Zhong Lixiao sealed Xu Xuanzi with the complete ancient spell, the soul lamp that Xu Xuanzi left in the Changqing Palace was extinguished.

is the day.

The Jinglong Bell of Baiyun Temple rang forty-nine times, officially announcing the death of a Yuanying ancestor of Baiyun Temple.

At the same time, the Guizang Peak clan's hearts, which had been hanging high in their throats, finally died.

On that day, the world was shaken again.

Xu Xuanzi's "fall" once again showed the world with bloody facts how terrifying the Demonic Lamp Realm is.

This is a restricted area for life!
Even if a Nascent Soul cultivator entered, there would be no way to survive.

Xu Xuanzi's death at this time not only did not affect his status in the hearts of the people, but instead made the world think that he was truly great.

After all, there was no one else but him who could have persisted in the Demonic Lamp Realm for more than five years.

In the future, as long as the life forbidden zone of the Demonic Lamp Realm still exists, it is estimated that there is a high probability that Xu Xuanzi will not be able to be avoided.

because.

He is the only fierce man who has survived in the Demonic Lamp Realm for five years with clear evidence.

Since then, few powerful people in the world continue to pay attention to the Demon Lamp Realm.

a few days later.

Zhong Lixiao, who finally arrived at the Demon Sect's mountain gate with Master Xu Xuanzi, had a strange look on his face!
Because through the magical power of "God loves the foolish", Zhong Lixiao felt the amazing luck coming to him for the first time in a long time.

In other words, he had just survived a horrific killing spree!
This left Zhong Lixiao speechless for a moment!
If the information from Venerable Fuyun is true, the soul lamp he left in the Changqing Hall of Baiyun Temple must have been extinguished five years ago, right?

Someone with ulterior motives has been dragging it on until five years later, still paying attention to the Demon Lamp Realm, and even just now made it clear that he is no longer paying attention to him?
Horror!
Zhong Lixiao thought about it for a moment and then understood.

I stopped paying attention to it not long ago, and the most likely reason is that I have confirmed that my master Xu Xuanzi has also "died", right?
These old silver coins are really patient!
Zhong Lixiao briefly hinted that his master should hide his identity after going out. Xu Xuanzi immediately understood and even showed a sinister smile of a conspirator.

Zhong Lixiao couldn't help but hold his forehead.

When it comes to scheming and plotting intrigues, why would Master Xu Xuanzi need him to teach him?
To put it bluntly, Master is the king of involution among his peers.

Seeing that they were about to completely leave the scope of the Demon Lamp Realm, Xu Xuanzi was also quite nervous.

After all, the curse here is too scary. Even if there is a baptism of heavenly dew, there is no guarantee that it will be completely safe.

Fortunately, the final result is good!
After breaking the seal of the spell, Xu Xuanzi completely stepped out of the scope of the Demonic Lamp Realm and his body was not affected by the curse.

Then it’s goodbye!

The master just waved his hand, and then his appearance changed.

After a flash of light, it disappeared into the sky.

Zhong Lixiao returned alone, and only then did he realize that the magic lamp world for one person was so quiet!
