第五卷 天云十二州 第一千一百一十六章 灵界古符文

The illusory flames of the two phantasms moved at an incredible speed, swiftly closing in on Face Wisdom. He took a deep breath and reached out his hand, striking his head. A purple flame erupted from his mouth.

Though he hadn't practiced any special fire techniques, as a Separation Stage cultivator, the power of his innate infant fire was formidable.

After the purple infant fire left his mouth, it transformed into a fiery dragon, colliding with the green illusory flames in midair. Upon contact, the flames intertwined and fiercely tried to devour each other. The sky alternated between an eerie purple and a beautiful green, but soon, the green illusory flames gained the upper hand, pushing back the Buddhist flames.

No Gathering!

Face Wisdom's expression changed wildly. However, Lin Xuan wouldn't give him time to think. Although he had some extraordinary divine abilities and treasures, his cultivation stage and power were far behind those of a Separation Stage expert.

If they engaged in a direct confrontation with his divine treasure, it would be difficult for the old monk to escape. On the other side, Xiahou Lan's eyes flashed with surprise. Her big brother still had such items; after all, even on the upper realms, divine treasures were non-trivial. She herself was an Immortal daughter and likely possessed more than one.

Xiahou Lan extended her delicate hand, continuously changing her gestures. Golden runes began to appear before her.

Unlike human realm runes, these pale golden runes seemed ancient and profound, almost beyond comprehension.

These are the texts of the Ancient Spirit Realm? Face Wisdom's focus was originally on Lin Xuan, but as those runes appeared, a strange force spread outwards.

He turned his head to look. Upon seeing this, his expression changed dramatically.

The Ten Thousand Buddha Sect had been passed down for millions of years. In ancient times, when the world hadn't undergone such great changes, spirit realm cultivators often broke through space and entered the human realm due to various reasons.

Thus, the Ten Thousand Buddha Sect's scripture hall contained remnants of ancient spirit realm cultivators, including these ancient runes.

Unfortunately, only a few were broken and incomplete, making it impossible to fully understand. However, after generations of research by the elders, they concluded that no matter what these ancient runes were used for—arrays, talismans, or other divine abilities—their power far exceeded anything in the human realm.

Seeing the golden text surrounding Xiahou Lan's body, Face Wisdom's face turned ashen. The proposal she had once made echoed in his mind. Could it be that she wasn't just boasting? Was she truly a great divine cultivator from the spirit realm?

Impossible. A million years ago, after the war between the spirit realm and the阴司realm, due to its intensity, several realms were destroyed. Although this realm survived, certain heavenly laws had been permanently altered. Another theory was that the actions of the 阴司realm were too outrageous, even though his soul and essence were scattered, he swore revenge, causing true immortals to secretly tamper with the laws of heaven.

These were merely rumors, but one thing was certain: after that incident, no cultivators from the upper realms broke through space to enter this realm.

This was why Face Wisdom thought Xiahou Lan was just boasting. But now, seeing those ancient spirit realm runes, his confidence waned significantly.

Lin Xuan didn't know these secrets and had already seen similar divine abilities during his fight with New Moon. His face showed no signs of surprise as he saw Face Wisdom's attention diverted to his sister. He raised his right hand high, then swung it forward with a serious expression.

Swoosh!

A dazzling sword energy appeared, ten zhang long, majestic and imposing. Unlike regular sword energies, countless runes flowed on its surface, faintly visible.

These runes were similar to those Xiahou Lan had used.

Not good!

Face Wisdom's face turned pale as the divine treasure's power made him shudder. He raised his left hand quickly, casting a spell towards the front.

The golden bowl transformed into nine orbs and formed a light curtain together.

Meanwhile, he stepped to the side, attempting to use the缩小术.

Wanting to run? Not so easy.

Lin Xuan had waited for this moment, forcing Face Wisdom to confront his divine treasure's powerful attack. He didn't allow him to escape. With a flick of his hand, the Snow Fox King's spear flew out.

With his right hand still holding the divine treasure, he used his left hand to grasp the spear and swung it downward forcefully.

Space around Face Wisdom distorted. But this time, Lin Xuan miscalculated. The monk seemed to sense something and reached forward, stabilizing the space fluctuations.

Although the spear could nullify teleportation effects, as a Separation Stage expert, Face Wisdom had glimpsed some of the heavenly laws. The spear's effect was lost.

His figure began to blur, about to vanish from his spot. Lin Xuan was both shocked and angry. He had planned for so long, but it seemed he had been outwitted. Even with a divine treasure, if it couldn't hit him, there would be no point in using it.

However, a light laugh entered his ears as Xiahou Lan wasn't idle during the attack. As she moved, those profound runes transformed into beautiful flowers—roses, peonies, gardenias, and saffron daffodils.

They competed for beauty!

Quickly!

Xiahou Lan pointed at them, and the flower lights flashed before shattering into petals that enveloped the monk.

Flower Fragrance Array!

New Moon had used it before. Xiahou Lan's version was identical.

The array contained heavenly laws, nullifying the monk's缩小术.

The fragrance of the flowers permeated his senses. As a Separation Stage cultivator, most toxins in the human realm didn't affect him, but this one directly caused his infant spirit in the dantian to open its eyes with fear.

Perhaps she was truly from the spirit realm, Face Wisdom thought, unwillingly acknowledging it.

But now, he had no time for such thoughts. His缩小术 failed, and he had to face the terrifying attack of Lin Xuan's divine treasure.

The dazzling sword energy made him shudder as well.

Taking a deep breath, he cast a spell at the golden bowl.

Many texts erupted from within.

These were not runes but words.

When combined, they formed the Golden Net Sutra. The sutra embedded itself into the light curtain, followed by Buddhist chants appearing out of nowhere.

The entire process took only an instant before the dazzling sword energy struck.

Upon contact, there was no sound or sight.

A deafening explosion echoed far away.

Not far from Xuan Yuan City in the suburbs, a man and woman stood facing each other.

The woman wore a green dress; her figure was slender, but her face was plain. Her cultivation stage was only at the Condensation Core Stage.

In front of her stood a long-eared, emerald-eyed demon, whose exact cultivation stage wasn't mentioned. From his appearance alone, he was clearly an Incarnation Stage demon.

However, she showed no fear when facing him.

"Old Nine-Headed, you trapped me with the Xuan Tian Eight Trigram Talisman at the request of that bald monk, Face Wisdom," Dream Ruyan's face was filled with anger. "What did he give you in return?"

Haha, why should a fairy be angry? It has been at least two hundred years since our last meeting. I merely wanted to invite you for tea, but it seems we were misunderstood.

Hmph, do you need the Xuan Tian Eight Trigram Talisman to drink tea? Nine-Headed, stop being so cheeky. Are you trying to fool me?

Dream Ruyan's expression grew more and more difficult, nearing a state of rage.

Haha, my old friend couldn't grace us with his presence, so I had to use some tricks. But your divine abilities have improved so rapidly in two hundred years that it makes me envious. The Xuan Tian Eight Trigram Talisman, such an extraordinary item, took you only half a day to escape from.

Despite the smile on Nine-Headed's face, there was a hint of fear in his eyes as he spoke slowly.

PS: Dream Ruyan said, "Sis is here for your votes! I'm at the Separation Stage, so please help me out with some support!" (To be continued)
