Chapter 88 Zou Zhiwen
Gu Changyuan stood in the hall, looked at Su Qinghe who walked in, and smiled.
"This time, we really got a great deal." Gu Changyuan's voice wasn't loud, but his tone carried a hint of barely suppressed joy.
Upon hearing this, Su Qinghe smiled and shook his head: "I paid a price; hundreds of thousands of souls represent almost half of my inventory."
Gu Changyuan stepped forward, patted Su Qinghe on the shoulder, and said in a relaxed tone, "So that's why I'm here to give you some more, isn't it?"
The two walked one after the other through the main hall of the Huangtian Palace and turned into the side hall at the back.
The side hall was not large, but its four walls were covered with dense array patterns. Four-colored flames flowed and danced within the patterns, illuminating the entire side hall like a crystal world. Four stone doors stood in the hall, and when the doors were closed, countless seal characters flickered and shone through the gaps, like stars breathing in the night sky.
Gu Changyuan pointed to the stone gate on the far left and said, "Let's start with Qingyun Realm. This cave world is essentially broken, and its upper limit is only the Refining God Realm. The people from Xingxiu Sea are arriving soon. We don't have much time left. I finally became the leader of Huangtian Sect, and I don't want to step down so soon."
Su Qinghe glanced at Gu Changyuan and said with a smile, "Then let's get started quickly."
Having said that, Su Qinghe took a step forward, his figure drifting into the stone gate like a wisp of smoke.
The seal script on the stone gate suddenly lit up, then returned to calm.
Gu Changyuan closed his eyes, his consciousness connected with Su Qinghe's. The Wheel of Reincarnation appeared in his sea of consciousness. The giant wheel, formed by countless fragments of souls, was increasing its soul light points at a visible speed.
One, ten, a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand... points of light lit up on the rebirth wheel like countless stars, densely packed and layered, illuminating the entire sea of consciousness.
Upon seeing this, Gu Changyuan smiled.
half a month later.
Beyond the Yellow Heaven Divine Mountain, the sea of clouds surged, and the sky was clear. A streak of purple-gold light broke through the sky from the horizon and landed in the void in front of the Yellow Heaven Divine Mountain, transforming into a middle-aged man in purple robes and gold sash.
The man had a square face and an imposing presence. He was surrounded by a faint starlight, as if he were a god who had stepped out of the Milky Way.
Elder Xingxiuhai, Zou Zhiwen, Great Master.
Looking at the divine mountain with its four-colored halos flowing before him, and glancing at the four pillars of the heavens that stood tall and firm, Zou Zhiwen revealed a warm smile. He took a step forward and said loudly, "Zou Zhiwen of Xingxiu Sea, on the orders of the sect leader, has come to pay respects to the fellow Daoists of Huangtian Sect. I request that you open the mountain gates and allow me to climb the mountain for a chat."
Zou Zhiwen's voice was not loud, but it was like the tolling of a bell, echoing in the void in front of the mountain gate for a long time.
But no one responded.
Zou Zhiwen frowned slightly, waited a moment, and spoke again. His tone was still polite, but with a hint of coldness.
"The Starry Sea and the Yellow Heaven Sect are of one spirit and share the same fate. Their prosperity and decline are intertwined. Now that your sect has suffered a great change, how can the Starry Sea sit idly by? Please open the door, fellow Daoist, and allow me to offer my humble assistance."
There has still been no response.
Zou Zhiwen's smile gradually faded, and he said no more. Above his head, the light of the sun, moon, and stars intertwined, transforming into a dazzling nebula. The nebula spun, with countless stars flickering within, radiating a chilling pressure.
Zou Zhiwen raised his hand and pointed, and a silver-white beam of light crashed down from the nebula, heading straight for the mountain gate of Huangtian Shenyue.
Boom!
The four-colored flames suddenly exploded, and the four pillars of the universe trembled simultaneously. The Azure Dragon Pillar roared with a blue dragon, the Vermilion Bird Pillar was filled with crimson flames, the White Tiger Pillar was radiated with white light like a blade, and the Black Tortoise Pillar was swirling with black water.
The power of the four elements intertwined and resonated with the dragon vein mineral deposits underground, transforming into a boundless and unparalleled force that blew Zou Zhiwen, along with the nebula above his head, away.
A storm swept through, flames exploded, and Zou Zhiwen's figure tumbled several times in the void before retreating several miles away.
Steadying himself, Zou Zhiwen frowned as he looked at the blazing Hun Tian Four Pillars. This Qiankun Four Symbols Yuan Magnetic Array was much stronger than he had imagined, as if a great immortal was presiding over it.
Zou Zhiwen returned to the front of Huangtian Divine Mountain, his surrounding nebula transforming into countless tiny starlight, like fireflies flying in the sky, seeping into the gaps in the great formation from all directions.
The glittering starlight fell on the four-colored light screen, making a hissing sound, like ice water being poured on boiling oil, creating ripples.
A moment later, the starlight was deflected by the light screen and scattered in all directions, like fireworks exploding in the night sky.
Zou Zhiwen remained expressionless. With a wave of his hand, the scattered starlight re-condensed in mid-air, transforming into hundreds of silver-white light needles that simultaneously pierced the same point on the light screen.
Where the light needle landed, the light screen trembled violently, rippling outwards, but remained as stable as ever.
Zou Zhiwen used needles as a hammer, and hundreds of light needles were combined into a huge starlight hammer, which he swung around and smashed onto the light screen.
Boom!
A deep, resounding boom, like the tolling of a giant bell, shattered the surrounding clouds and dented the light screen, but it quickly bounced back, sending the Star Hammer flying.
The force of the recoil made Zou Zhiwen's arms go numb, and fine cracks appeared in the air beneath his feet.
Standing still, Zou Zhiwen looked at the unmoving array before him, his expression finally darkening. The nebula above his head changed once more, transforming into a vast galaxy.
In the Milky Way, large stars rise and fall, star rivers flow and nebulae surge. Zou Zhiwen made hand seals, and a giant dragon formed from countless stars suddenly rushed out of the Milky Way. It bared its fangs and claws, its scales and claws were clearly defined, and its roar shook the heavens and the earth. It crashed into the light screen.
boom!
The heavens and earth trembled, and four-colored flames exploded on the light screen, turning into a rain of light that fell from the sky like thousands of meteors falling to earth.
The starlight dragon shattered upon impact, turning into countless stardust that surged and dissipated, yet the light curtain remained standing, and the four pillars of the heavens remained as steady as mountains.
Anger finally surged in Zou Zhiwen's eyes, and boundless nebulae spread out from above, like night falling, enveloping the entire Huangtian Divine Mountain.
The stars in the nebula flickered, completely obscuring the energy of this world. To outsiders, all they could see was a chaotic star mist, and they could no longer see what was happening inside. Zou Zhiwen did not want to reveal his next move, nor did he want the outside world to know that the Starry Sea and the Yellow Heaven Sect had reached this point.
Amidst the shimmering starlight, a chessboard rose from Zou Zhiwen's palm. The chessboard was pitch black, yet countless stars seemed to shimmer and flicker across its surface.
A myriad of silvery rays rose, and the chessboard ascended into the sky, expanding to a vast expanse that enveloped the entire heavens. Countless stars swayed on the chessboard, transforming into chess pieces, scattered across it in a crisscrossing pattern. The void served as the board, and the stars as the pieces. In that instant, the order of the heavens was disrupted, spiritual energy was obscured, and the vital energy of heaven and earth within a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles was suppressed by this chessboard.
The Starry Chessboard is one of the most precious treasures of the Starry Sea.
