Chapter 1099 Sword Tomb
A few days later, Xiao Lin slowly opened his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief. His injuries had all healed, and his spirit had returned to its peak state.
He turned his head to look at the two Bai clan masters beside him. Bai Chongzun still had his palms pressed against Bai Xingge's back, infusing his mana into his body.
Xiao Lin slowly stood up, looked into the distance, and waited quietly.
Two more days passed like this, and with a faint groan, Xiao Lin, who was distracted, was awakened. He turned his head and saw that Bai Chongzun had withdrawn his palms and supported Bai Xingge. Bai Xingge also opened his eyes, his eyes were still clear, but his face was still very pale. It was obvious that his injuries were only temporarily controlled, and it would take a long time for him to recover.
"Chongzun, is this the Xiao Lin you mentioned to me?" Bai Xingge glanced at Xiao Lin, with an expression of approval in his eyes, and smiled weakly.
"Junior Xiao Lin, I pay my respects to Lord Bai." Xiao Lin came to Bai Xingge and bowed. Although he has now advanced to the middle stage of the Spiritualization, according to the rules of the immortal cultivation world, he can already be on equal terms with the two Lords of the Bai family. However, both Lord Bai and Bai Xingge are senior and powerful cultivators of the Great Emperor Haoran Tianzong, and they advanced to the Spiritualization much earlier than him, so Xiao Lin still paid his respects to the two with the etiquette of a disciple.
"Brother Xiao, there is no need to be polite. Since you have advanced to the middle stage of the Spiritualization, we can treat each other as equals from now on. Just call me Bai Zun. I have been called this name for a long time and I am used to it."
"I didn't expect that Brother Xiao would advance to the middle stage of the Spiritualization in just over a hundred years. This speed really surprised me. More importantly, Brother Xiao, your current combat power is so powerful that even I am afraid I can't compare with you."
"Senior Bai, you are too kind. How dare Xiao Lin, with his little magical power, be compared with you."
"You don't need to be polite. Although you are from the Great Emperor Haoran Tianzong, your seniority is indeed lower than mine and Bai Zun, but according to the rules of the immortal world, after you advance to the middle stage of the Spiritualization, we are equals. If you think highly of me, just call me Brother Bai." Bai Chongzun completely lost his previous cold and arrogant look and said with a kind smile.
"In that case, Xiao Lin has overstepped his authority."
"Brother Xiao has advanced to the middle stage of the Spiritualization Realm, which has added another great force to our Ancient Wasteland camp. Let's go to my cave first and talk in detail." Bai Xingge waved his hand and said softly.
"Look at me, I forgot about this." Bai Chongzun smiled slightly, then called Xiao Lin, and took Bai Xingge to the back mountain of the central peak of Wuzun Mountain. Soon Xiao Lin followed Bai Chongzun into a cave close to the cliff. After entering the cave, he found that there was another world inside.
After walking about ten feet in the cave, a mountain belly appeared. There was a bone-chilling cold breath in the mountain belly. Xiao Lin saw at a glance that there was a cold pond on the right side of the mountain belly, close to the rock wall, and there was a huge rock next to the cold pond, protruding above the cold pond.
In addition, several stone chambers were excavated on the surrounding mountain walls. Three of the stone chambers had their doors open. Except for stone beds, stone tables and stone chairs, the stone chambers were empty and very simple.
In addition to the three open stone chambers, the remaining two were closed, and the words "Scripture Collection Building" and "Sword Pavilion" were written on the stone chamber doors respectively.
Bai Chongzun supported Bai Xingge and walked to the rock above the cold pond and sat cross-legged.
Then Bai Chongzun came to the stone table beside the cold pond and sat opposite Xiao Lin.
Bai Xingge's injuries have stabilized slightly, and he can heal himself.
"Is Bai Zun's injury okay?" Xiao Lin asked after sitting down.
"Fortunately, the use of the power of rules has consumed some of the life source, but it has not caused damage to the source, which is a blessing in disguise."
"It's good that the source is not injured. With Bai Zun's magic power, it will be restored to its original state in no time." Xiao Lin was relieved when he heard this. Bai Xingge is the mainstay of the Ancient Desolate Camp. If he falls, it will be a huge loss for the Ancient Desolate Camp.
"The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly at the moment. With the addition of Xu Huanniang, the situation has become extremely dangerous. You must be extra careful."
Xiao Lin nodded when he heard this: "Thank you, Brother Bai, for reminding me. Xiao Lin will pay attention to it."
"When I saw you fighting with Li Yuxuan before, the sword energy you used contained the mysteries of sword intent. It seems that you have already comprehended the sword intent and stepped into the threshold of sword cultivation." After a pause, Bai Chongzun changed the topic and said with a smile.
"Speaking of which, Xiao Lin wanted to learn the secrets of swordsmanship from Brother Bai, but I just arrived at the interface battlefield and I feel embarrassed to bother you."
"You're welcome. You and I are from the same clan. Why should I feel embarrassed? When Lord Bai wakes up, I will talk to him and hope that he will allow you to enter the sword tomb and comprehend the swordsmanship. As for how much you can comprehend, it depends on you."
"Sword tomb?" Xiao Lin was slightly stunned. It was the first time he heard of such a place.
"The Sword Tomb is actually a secret realm built by Bai Zun and I. It contains many sword classics, including the enlightenment experience of Bai Zun and me. More importantly, it is also engraved with many sword mysteries by Bai Zun and me. There is also a sword stele. This sword stele was left by a senior sword master thousands of years ago. It records the mysteries of the three realms of extreme swordsmanship, and also left behind a set of sword tactics. However, this set of sword tactics is mysterious and profound. Even Bai Zun and I have only comprehended 30% or 40% of it."
Hearing this, Xiao Lin immediately showed a surprised expression. As far as he knew, no matter in the interface battlefield or in the ancient wilderness, even including the good and evil world, no one could surpass the Bai family's two masters in terms of sword cultivation. Bai Xingge was even praised as the first sword genius in ten thousand years. With his sword talent, he could only comprehend 30% or 40% of the sword tactics on the sword stele. From this, it can be seen that the sword tactics on the sword stele are mysterious and unpredictable.
However, this also increased Xiao Lin's interest. If he could really enter the sword tomb to comprehend the sword, no matter what the result was, he could at least make further progress in the sword cultivation.
"In this case, Xiao Lin would like to thank Brother Bai first." Xiao Lin hurriedly bowed to express his inner gratitude. Both Bai Xingge and Bai Chongzun gave Xiao Lin a feeling of being kind and easy to approach. Of course, the most important thing was Xiao Lin's identity as the previous leader of the Haoran Tianzong.
"No need to be polite. After all, we are from the same clan. In this interface battlefield, we should assist each other. Moreover, the reappearance of Xu Huanniang and the Demon Servant is a great challenge for us."
Xiao Lin was silent after hearing this. Xu Huanniang and the Demon Servant were indeed the biggest variables at present. Moreover, they had gathered a large number of demon cultivators, which was very powerful. Xiao Lin also knew very well that Xu Huanniang, who was possessed by the Saint Concubine's clone, did not have a bottleneck in realm. As long as she was given time, she would soon be able to advance to the peak of the spirit transformation.
Once he advances to the peak of the God Transformation, no one in the entire interface battlefield will be able to compete with him.
The gap between the peak of the God Transformation and the ordinary God Transformation cultivator is very large, and this gap is even greater than the gap between the great cultivator and the ordinary late Nascent Soul cultivator.
The most important point is that the peak of the God Transformation cultivator has been able to exert the power of rules without using the origin of life. The power of rules is the power of heaven and earth, which can be said to be endless. It is conceivable how difficult it is to face such an existence.
Countless thousands of years ago, the clone of the Holy Concubine's soul descended to the world of good and evil. Countless powerful cultivators from the two worlds united and sealed his soul after paying a very heavy price. At that time, the clone of the Holy Concubine's soul was at the peak of the God Transformation realm. This was after it descended to the world and was suppressed by the power of the interface. Otherwise, its realm would be far more than the God Transformation stage.
"Well, there's no need to think too much about this matter. We should do our best and leave it to fate. If it is God's will that Xu Huanniang unifies the two worlds, there is nothing we can do about it." Bai Chongzun sighed softly and said.
"Brother Bai, in this interface battlefield, why don't our ancient wilderness world's incarnation cultivators unite and deal with Xu Huanniang together?" Xiao Lin has not met many incarnation cultivators since entering the interface battlefield, and there are no more than a handful of them so far.
There are hundreds of ancient wilderness world sects, especially after entering the threshold of large sects, there is a high probability that incarnation cultivators can be born, so in Xiao Lin's opinion, there should be far more ancient wilderness world incarnation cultivators in the interface battlefield.
As the leaders of the ancient wilderness camp, Bai Chongzun and Bai Xingge should respond as long as they raise their arms.
But Bai Chongzun shook his head and said with a smile: "What is the purpose of our cultivation?"
"Of course, it is to ascend to the upper realm, hoping to become an immortal one day." Xiao Lin blurted out without hesitation.
"Yes, when we reach the level of cultivation like you and me, we have lost interest in the struggles in the world of cultivation. All we want is to go one step further and ascend to the upper realm. Therefore, most of the incarnation cultivators who entered the interface battlefield from the ancient wilderness are scattered in various corners of the wilderness mountains, practicing in seclusion, looking for spiritual herbs to refine elixirs, and few people are willing to participate in the struggle with the good and evil camp."
"Then"
"You want to know why Bai Zun and I are entangled with the people of the good and evil world? Right?" Bai Chongzun smiled and said.
After Xiao Lin nodded, he continued, "This matter also stems from the millions of years of grievances between our Great Emperor Haoran Tianzong and the Ten Thousand Demon Sect and the Thousand Buddha Sect."
After speaking, Bai Chongzun began to tell the origin of this grievance.
It turned out that countless thousands of years ago, during that period of time, the Thousand Buddha Sect in the Good and Evil Realm was extremely powerful, and several great Buddhist sects emerged in the sect one after another. Not only did they suppress the Ten Thousand Demon Sect in the Good and Evil Realm, but they also formed an overwhelming advantage over the Ancient Wilderness Realm in the interface battlefield.
It was also at that time that a great Buddhist cultivator from the Thousand Buddha Sect entered the Ancient Wilderness Realm and almost swept all the high-level cultivators in the Ancient Wilderness Realm. He was hailed as the number one in the two realms. This Buddhist cultivator later opened a sect in the Jitian Holy Realm and passed on the Buddhist and Taoist Dharma.
He was the founder of the Western Extreme Ancient Buddha Tianzong - the Burning Heart Buddha.
It was also from that time that the ancient wilderness changed from the original three major sects to the four major sects.
Originally, whether it was our immortal sect or the demon sect, we were not opposed to the Buddhist sect. After all, in the eyes of us cultivators, all the thousands of great ways lead to becoming immortals.
However, in the countless thousands of years that followed, we discovered that although the Buddhist sect's practice method emphasizes the practice of both the body and the law, its method of collecting the power of believers' faith is extremely harmful to ordinary mortals.
Once thousands of believers sincerely convert to the Buddhist sect, their soul power will be extracted, resulting in a great loss of spirituality, especially those mortals with spiritual roots. After their soul power is extracted, even if they embark on the road of cultivating immortals, their souls are extremely weak, which means that they are destined to not go too far on the road of immortality.
Moreover, the people of the Buddhist sect appear to be compassionate on the surface, but in fact they have strong ambitions for aggression. They constantly encourage the dynasties of the mortal world to invade everywhere, occupy territory, spread faith, and develop believers.
It is for this reason that the Great Emperor Haoran Tianzong, as the leader of the immortals, established the Daqian Dynasty, integrated countless dynasties in the mortal world, and resisted the invasion of the Buddhist sect. Today, countless tens of thousands of years have passed.
After our immortals discovered the shortcomings of the Buddhist sect's skills, the Jitian Holy Realm had already grown and developed. Even after the ascension of the Burning Heart Buddha, its strength had reached the level of the other three major Tianzongs.
It is almost impossible to completely destroy the Jitian Holy Realm.
Whether it is the Jiuying Blood Refining Holy Sect or the Beiming Youdu Tianzong, the skills they practice are actually the same as those of the Buddhist sect. Many skills need to be practiced by harming ordinary mortals. Fortunately, these two Tianzongs are located in the north of the Middle Earth, separated from the hinterland of the Middle Earth by the Eternal Forest, and their evil deeds are limited. The ancestors of our Great Emperor Haoran Tianzong have also tried to unite these two Tianzongs to deal with the Jitian Holy Realm, but they are worried that after destroying the Jitian Holy Realm, they will turn to deal with them, so they have never been able to form an alliance.
In order to completely destroy the Jitian Holy Land, our Great Emperor Haoran Tianzong has been planning for a long time, and even developed several powerful formations for this purpose, but we have never found an opportunity.
Hundreds of years ago, after Bai Zun advanced to the third level of the Extreme Sword, we made up our minds to eradicate the Jitian Holy Land for the Ancient Wilderness. Therefore, not only did Fu Feiran invite the other three controllers to enter a ruin in the Wilderness Mountains to search for treasures, but Bai Zun and I also pinned down Monk Wuyuan and others.
After receiving the message for help from the Jitian Holy Land, the Thousand Hands Buddha Lord also tried to lead several powerful monks of the Thousand Buddhas Sect in the Nirvana Realm to the Ancient Wilderness for rescue, but they were all stopped by Bai Zun and me. In this way, the Great Emperor Haoran Tianzong, relying on the status of the leader of the immortal way, summoned nearly a thousand Yuanying monks to jointly arrange a large formation and destroyed the Jitian Holy Land in one fell swoop.
And you also became an opportunity for this battle, and you can be said to have made a great contribution to the success of this operation.
After the destruction of the Jitian Holy Realm, people from the Thousand Buddha Sect and several Nirvana Realm Buddhist practitioners from the Xiji Ancient Buddha Sect naturally regarded Bai Zun and me as thorns in their eyes. The reason why the Thousand-Handed Buddha dared to take the risk and make the Three Palms Agreement when Bai Zun was injured was actually due to the hatred that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time.
