Killing God - Chapter 187

Chapter 187 Inquiry
Tianhong City was the center of gravity of the world. There were seventeen ancient teleportation formations that led to other worlds. Not to mention the ordinary teleportation formations that traveled across continents, even the main hall of the Divine Immortal Association that controlled the teleportation formations was in Tianhong City.

Lingxiao Sect’s Haizhou was located in the south of the Primordial Chaos Master Realm, bordering on the sea. It was more than a dozen provinces away from Tianhong City, and the distance between them was no less than millions of kilometers. In other words, Du Tiejian and Shen Shi had to ride more than ten teleportation formations before they could return to Haizhou. However, compared to the distance between them, this little bit of trouble could be ignored.

When Shen Shi was twelve years old, When they left Yin Province for Lingxiao Sect, For the first time in his life, He had suffered a lot that time, but times had changed. Although he had been delayed for three years in the Demon Realm, he still had a bit of Dao Cultivation. His tolerance towards teleportation formations had greatly improved, and there was no longer the same sorry scene as before. Of course, the effects were still there. After several consecutive rides, he still needed to rest.

In comparison, Du Tiejian was much more relaxed. He had always acted as if nothing had happened. He was leisurely and relaxed. Even the Little Hei Pig, who was following Shen Shi, seemed to be relaxed for some reason, causing Shen Shi to be speechless.

They stopped walking, rested, and teleported. They left Tianhong City early in the morning and finally returned to Liuyun City, Haizhou, in the afternoon.

When the familiar scenery appeared in front of him again, although it was only once before, Shen Shi felt as if he had been waiting for a long time. Liuyun City was as prosperous as before. Although after witnessing the unparalleled scenes of Tianhong City, Liuyun City gave off a much smaller and inferior feeling, this city gave Shen Shi an unexpected sense of familiarity. Even though he had actually been here once.

The dozen or so transmissions made Shen Shi look a little tired. However, Du Tiejian did not intend to rest. Instead, he directly led Shen Shi outside the city. Judging from his appearance, he was prepared to immediately return to the High Firmament Sect.

Shen Shi naturally did not have any additional objections to this. However, this was Floating Cloud City, It was Haizhou, the core territory of the Ling Xiao Sect, one of the Four Righteous Under Heaven. Even though there were numerous cultivation sects and clans in the Haizhou territory, which one of them wasn’t the Snuff of the Soaring Firmament Sect? As the head disciple of the Soaring Firmament Sect, Du Tiejian was the most powerful disciple of the younger generation. He hadn’t gone far in Floating Cloud City when several groups of people recognized him and came to greet him one after another.

Since the other cultivation sects also had ordinary rogue cultivators, and even the shopkeepers of some shops in the city, all of them were close to this promising Du Tiejian, allowing Shen Shi, who was standing at the side, to see another side of his connections that Senior Brother Du had never revealed before.

It was just that he was someone with connections, but he didn’t seem to be very familiar with them. The people who were warm and friendly were all others. Du Tiejian didn’t put on an appearance of being above the top. However, when he greeted everyone, he had a casual smile on his face. After a few words, he dismissed them. Along the way, not a single one of them had talked to him in depth.

Shen Shi stood quietly by the side. He never interrupted when Du Tiejian was chatting with others. He just watched calmly and occasionally, a thoughtful expression flashed across his eyes.

Du Tiejian occasionally glanced at him, but when he saw that he was silent, he did not say anything to him. It was just that after pondering for an entire night on the top of the Great Wall of Tianhong City, he faintly felt that Junior Brother Shen had quietly changed a little.

After leaving the city, they headed straight for the sea. When they could see the vast sea rippling with jade waves, the number of people in the surroundings gradually decreased. Clouds and mist shrouded the surface of the sea. It was like a dream, as if an immortal mountain was standing.

Du Tiejian turned around and looked at Shen Shi. He put away the smile on his face and said seriously, “Junior Brother Shen, we have returned to the mountain.”

Shen Shi looked into the distance and remained silent for a moment before nodding heavily.

With a wave of Du Tie’s swordsman’s hand, the black sword suddenly flew up and floated three feet in the air. Du Tie Jian casually pulled Shen Shi and the Little Hei Pig onto the sword. Then, with a sword incantation, the black sword slowly lifted up. Suddenly, there was a faint sound of wind and thunder on both ends of the sword, like a giant ship flying towards the endless sea.

In the past, Shen Shi had also seen other cultivators use magical artifacts to fly through the air. For example, Wang Gen, For example, Gan Wenqing, There were also other cultivators with profound cultivation, All of them were as elegant as immortals, but none of them could fly as shockingly as Du Tiejian. As their speed increased, the giant black sword emitted thunderous roars from time to time in the air, as if it was a berserk beast roaring at the heavens of the sea. It was incomparably arrogant and arrogant. Fortunately, it was on this deserted ocean. Otherwise, if it was in the densely populated Floating Cloud City, then the commotion would be too big.

Only then did Shen Shi understand why Senior Brother Du would not be willing to ride the sword until he was outside the city. Previously, he had taken him to fly several times, but his speed had never been as fast as today. Perhaps it was because Jinhong Mountain was right in front of him, and even he felt a little anxious.

Rumbling thunder rumbled across the sea, alarming countless seabirds and fish as they scattered in all directions. As the clouds soared through the mist, the huge immortal mountain in the depths of the sea finally appeared in front of Shen Shi once again.

Three years had passed. After leaving for three years, Shen Shi finally saw Jinhong Mountain again.

At that moment, he even felt as if he had returned to the feeling of a twelve-year-old youth. Back then, Wang Gen had once brought them to look up at this majestic mountain on the Immortal Worshipping Rock. On this day, Du Tiejian had brought him straight into the clouds and passed through countless palaces. He flew higher and higher, and his speed was getting faster and faster.

Unknowingly, Shen Shi suddenly felt that his breathing was somewhat difficult. The temperature around him was rapidly dropping. It was as if he was in ice. The Little Hei pig at his feet let out a few low wailing sounds. It also seemed to feel very uncomfortable. At the edge of the giant black sword, a few white ice crystals had already condensed.

However, the Golden Rainbow Mountain in front of him was still verdant. Its majestic momentum reached into the clouds, yet it still couldn’t see the end of the mountain peak.

A few bells and drums and a few cranes and dragon roars suddenly came from the clouds, causing one’s spirit to tremble. A moment later, a vast sea of clouds hung upside down like a vast ocean, endless. The giant black sword was leading them towards this deep and invisible clouds.

The Little Hei pig let out a somewhat frightened cry. Shen Shi’s face was also somewhat pale, but his expression was still calm and composed. His eyes were bright as he looked straight ahead.

“Hu!”

With a loud noise, they had already entered the clouds. In an instant, they felt a strong gust of wind beside their ears. It was a vast expanse of white. It was as if they could not see anything except the white clouds that covered their surroundings. Only the speed of the wind was getting wilder and wilder, as if it was about to tear everything apart in the next moment.

In the next moment, it had arrived in an instant!

It was like a silent thunderclap, and his eyes suddenly lit up. A dazzling light shone like a golden rainbow, illuminating endless heaven and earth.

The giant black sword flew out from the depths of the clouds like a giant black fish jumping out of the sea, creating a dazzling black ripple mark in the endless sky. It even brought along a cloud of mist from the sea of clouds as it sprayed out like water, scattering between heaven and earth.

The dazzling Golden Crow hung in the western sky. It was shining brightly. Above the sea of clouds, a gigantic peak suddenly appeared. It looked down on the heavens and the earth. There was even a rainbow that pierced through the heavens. The golden light burned and flickered brightly. It hung on the peak, looking like the heavens in the Immortal Realm. It was shocking.

The Golden Rainbow Mountain was right in front of him.

④

At this point, the black sword slowed down slightly and slowly approached Jinhong Mountain. The temperature above the sea of clouds was quite low, and Shen Shi’s cultivation wasn’t enough. At this moment, his body even trembled slightly. However, he seemed to be unaware that he was only staring at the peak of the distant Immortal Mountain and the Immortal Clan Hall above the majestic peak.

The giant sword approached Jinhong Mountain. It was about a hundred feet away. Du Tiejian suddenly stopped. Although everything in front of him was invisible and colorless, Shen Shi could clearly feel that the giant black sword seemed to have frozen. In the next moment, a gigantic divine sense seemed to merge with the Immortal Mountain and swept across their bodies.

The divine sense was so vast that it almost made people feel as if they were holding their breath. Du Tiejian’s expression was also solemn, but he didn’t move at all. He just stood quietly in front of them and allowed the divine sense to sweep past him.

A moment later, the vast divine sense disappeared, and the stagnant feeling dissipated. Du Tiejian nodded and cupped his hands towards the depths of Jinhong Mountain. He didn’t know what kind of solemn greeting it was before he activated the giant black sword again and continued to fly forward.

The ancient trees at the top of Golden Rainbow Mountain were green, Several palaces were built in the clouds and mist, There were also many pavilions decorated within, But compared to the huge mountains, It was still insignificant, but when Du Tiejian brought Shen Shi to the ground and faced one of the palaces, Shen Shi discovered that the buildings here were actually quite magnificent and tall. Not to mention the others, just the plaque in front of him that read Cloud Sky Palace’s main hall was at least fifty feet tall. It was spacious and magnificent, and its aura was extraordinary.

Around Yunxiao Hall, there were pines and cypress trees. A bluestone road led to the outside of the pine forest. Two big bronze furnaces with four beast kisses were placed on the flat bluestone flat ground outside the hall. Smoke curled up slowly, adding a bit of silence to the hall in this uninhabited forest.

Du Tiejian glanced at the hall and said to Shen Shi, “This is the place where my master, Daoist Huaiyuan, usually cultivates. Few people come, so it’s so quiet. After I go in and inform you, he should ask you something. Just answer honestly.”

Shen Shi nodded and said, “Yes, I understand.”

Du Tiejian didn’t say anything else and asked Shen Shi to wait for His Highness. He walked up the thirty-six stone steps and arrived outside Yunxiao Hall. Then, he pushed open the thick and tall doors of the hall.

When the hall door opened and he looked inside, his body suddenly paused as if he saw something. A trace of surprise flashed across his face, but he still walked in.

Shen Shi waited quietly outside the hall. His heart was slightly nervous, but there was still an inexplicable sense of anticipation and excitement. Was the person in this hall the immortal standing at the peak of the Primordial Chaos Cultivation World?

Not long after Du Tiejian entered, he walked out. He stood on the stone steps and waved to Shen Shi. Shen Shi walked over. Du Tiejian shrugged and said, “You can go in by yourself.”

Shen Shi was stunned. He glanced at Du Tiejian. In his heart, he thought that Du Tiejian would go in with him, but he didn’t expect that Adept Huaiyuan didn’t seem to have such an intention. However, he had no intention of questioning the high and mighty Sect Leader. With some apprehension, he took a deep breath and walked towards the half-closed door of the hall. He walked in and disappeared into the shadows of the hall.

Du Tiejian stretched his waist and sat down on the stone steps. He casually placed the giant black sword beside him. He actually did not have the intention to leave after completing the mission. From his appearance, he looked like he was guarding the palace gate.

He glanced at the bluestone path beneath the stone steps and said, The pine forest was quiet, A few bird chirps came, After a moment of silence, Du Tiejian suddenly smiled faintly. At this moment, he heard a few hmph sounds coming from the side. He turned around and saw that the Little Hei pig had drilled out from somewhere. There were a few pine needles on its head. It seemed that it had just run into the pine berlin, but there was a red grass in its mouth that was half a foot long, chewing non-stop.

Du Tiejian burst into laughter. He looked at the little black pig and saw it spinning twice. It seemed to be a little anxious because it couldn’t see Shen Shi. He waved to it and smiled, “Your master has entered the hall. Come out later. Let’s wait here.”

Hearing this, Pig Little Hei ran over. Du Tiejian jumped onto the stone steps. Although his movements were somewhat clumsy, his speed wasn’t slow. He looked adorable. Du Tiejian smiled as he reached out to touch his head. Pig Little Hei snorted twice and dodged. Then, he sat down beside the black sword and leisurely chewed on the spiritual herbs in his mouth.

Du Tiejian shook his head with a smile. Without saying anything else, Pine Cypress Chenglin remained silent.

④

After Shen Shi walked into Yunxiao Temple, He felt his vision dim for a moment, and then he saw eight huge pillars standing on top of the hall, supporting the hall in the direction of the Eight Trigrams. The hall was flat, and the golden bricks were like mirrors that could vaguely reflect human figures. In the depths of the hall, a few candles were quietly burning. Under the flames, several plain wooden mats were placed on the ground, but there were two figures sitting there.

Shen Shi was shocked. He didn’t know why there were actually two people here, but after he entered the hall, the two gazes from afar seemed to look over. Although they were invisible and intangible, Shen Shi felt that he had a feeling of being completely seen through from the inside out.

He held his breath and suppressed the excitement and apprehension in his heart. He quickly stepped forward and knelt on the ground 20 feet away from the two figures. He lightly kowtowed and said, “Disciple Shen Shi, greets the Sect Leader, and …”

He paused for a moment but didn’t know how to address that person. A moment later, a calm but gentle voice sounded in front of him. His tone was calm as if he didn’t have any worries or joy. He said indifferently,

“This old man is Huai Yuan. This is our sect’s granduncle, Elder Huo Ye.”

Shen Shi’s body trembled, and even his breathing instantly stopped. His face crawled on the ground, and he did not lift it up for a long time. Even though he had already made preparations, he had never imagined that he would welcome such two great figures who looked up to him from high up in the mountains.

Spiritual Master Huaiyuan was the Sect Leader, and his fame affected the world. Needless to say, Elder Huoye’s identity was not trivial. He was the only elder of the Lingxiao Sect who had cultivated to the Heavenly Dipper Realm. In terms of seniority, he was Spiritual Master Huaiyuan’s Martial Uncle. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was a treasure of the Lingxiao Sect.

At this moment, the two of them were sitting in front of him. The invisible pressure seemed to be even stronger than the ice above the clouds in the Nine Heavens outside Jinhong Mountain.

Elder Huo Ye did not say anything. After a while, Adept Huai Yuan calmly said,

“Get up. We have something to ask you.”

Shen Shi took a few deep breaths and managed to control his emotions. He then gently climbed up and looked up. Under the candlelight, on the left of the two prayer mats was a person wearing a dao robe. His eyes were like stars, and his bearing was like a Dao Bone Immortal. He looked like a first-rate immortal. Clearly, he was Adept Huai Yuan. On the other hand, the person sitting on the right was slightly behind, and his body was mostly hidden in the shadows. He could only see that his head was covered with white hair and his face was old.

Shen Shi didn’t dare to look at him impudently. He respectfully stood at the side. After looking at him with the strange gaze of the falling stars in Daoist Huaiyuan’s eyes, he didn’t say anything nonsense. He directly said,

“Where have you been in the past three years?”

Shen Shi’s body stiffened.
