Chapter 515: Induction
Soon, the obsessed and passionate look in Gou Huan's eyes gradually disappeared, replaced by calmness.
A trace of pure immortal power flowed out from his body and was input into the fragments in his hand.
This trace of pure immortal power was just like when Qin Ziling first started to refine the fragments. Once it entered the fragments, it was like a drop in the ocean, disappearing without a trace.
However, Gou Huan did not stop quickly like Qin Ziling did back then, but continued to input.
After half a day, a thin layer of sweat appeared on Gou Huan's forehead, and the incomplete runes on the fragments in his hand began to rotate like flowing light.
Gou Huan's eyes suddenly lit up. Through the runes that were spinning like flowing light, he faintly felt the extremely mysterious true meaning of the way of heaven. He felt as if he had traveled through time and space. He vaguely saw a fire dragon lurking in the distant void, and the fire dragon exuded an extremely vicissitudes of life and ancient aura .
But soon, the broken rune returned to its calm state and remained motionless on the fragment. No matter how much immortal power Gou Huan input into it, it was in vain.
"It's been fifty years, a full fifty years. You have wasted so much of my immortal energy, but now you are still half-dead! If it weren't for you, I might have survived the wind and fire catastrophe and become a second-grade true immortal!" Gou Huan saw that the fragment was the same as before, and he was so angry that he grabbed the fragment and held it high, as if he wanted to smash it to pieces.
But soon, Gou Huan slowly put down his hand and collected the fragments.
Having reached his level, his vision is naturally incomparable to that of the earthly immortals in the Immortal Infant realm.
He knew very well that this was a fragment of a very powerful ancient magic weapon. As long as he could comprehend a little bit of the incomplete runes, or successfully refine the fragment, not only would it not be too dangerous for him to survive the first wind and fire disaster, but once he survived the wind and fire disaster, with the help of this fragment, his combat power might be comparable to that of a third-grade true immortal.
If that day really comes, and if King Zhu Run fails to survive the tribulation, he will have the opportunity to take his place.
King Zhu Run has survived two wind and fire disasters, and the third wind and fire disaster is approaching, so in recent years, he has basically not cared about the affairs of the Pingyu Mountain blessed land, and left all matters to the four generals.
Among the four generals, the other three were stronger than Gou Huan, so he ranked last.
Gou Huan was naturally unwilling to accept this, as this fragment was his hope to rise above the other three generals.
However, he had spent fifty years and a lot of time and energy trying to figure out the secret of the fragment, but still couldn't. This made him angry and unwilling.
Sometimes Gou Huan wanted to give up, but he had already invested fifty years of time and effort in the immortal power he had gained through hard practice. He was like a gambler who had bet too much and could not stop.
…
The next day, a red sun slowly rose from Dalang Mountain to the east of Pingyu West City.
The Zhenxi General's Mansion, located on the top of the mountain, has a golden dome visible in the clouds and mist, and it is as magnificent and majestic as the palace in heaven.
There is a city built on the hillside of Dalang Mountain. It is a city within a city and overlooks the entire Pingyu West City.
General Zhenxi's direct troops are stationed here and usually practice here.
When the sun was just rising slowly from Dalang Mountain, flying magic weapons would occasionally land in the city halfway up the mountain, and then be led to a house to live in.
This house is a bit like an inn.
Qin Ziling's Sky-piercing Immortal Shuttle also flew to the city halfway up the mountain on the same day, and was then led by a steward to a large mansion to settle down.
"General Zhenxi will meet you in the main hall at noon tomorrow and accept your tribute. You can stay here today. If you want to walk around and have a look, you can, but you must be here at the beginning of the morning hour tomorrow. At that time, you need to go up the stairs to pay homage to General Zhenxi. You are not allowed to fly." The steward led Qin Ziling and others to a large mansion and gave instructions.
"Okay, thank you very much, sir." Qin Ziling bowed his hands to express his gratitude, and ordered someone to reward him with a low-grade immortal stone.
Originally, these matters should have been handled by Lian Changfeng, but Lian Changfeng is only a teenager after all, and Qin Ziling has already shown his prowess on the sea. He is also Lian Changfeng's master, so there is no need for him to be hypocritical and humble.
The steward received a low-grade immortal stone, gave a few more instructions, and then left.
After the steward left, Qin Ziling and others quickly left the house and went out of the city halfway up the mountain to walk around and take a look.
When Qin Ziling left the city halfway up the mountain, he met Murong Chu and others.
When those people saw Qin Ziling leaving the city, although they did not take the initiative to come forward to talk to him, they still politely bowed to him from a distance, and did not dare to ignore him.
After all, Qingyun Fairy Island is no longer what it used to be, and they dare not underestimate it.
Of course, Qingyun Fairy Island and Fukong Fairy Island are now at loggerheads. Before the situation becomes clear, they do not want to have any close contact with Qingyun Fairy Island, so as not to cause misunderstandings on Fukong Fairy Island.
Qin Ziling was quite understanding. He just bowed to them from a distance and left with his men.
"It's strange. They are in such a fierce quarrel with the Floating Fairy Island. Shouldn't they be looking for someone to visit General Zhenxi in advance? How come they still have the leisure to take people out for a stroll?" A female earth fairy next to Murong Chu frowned slightly and said with a puzzled look on her face.
"Yeah, does he think he can withstand the attack of the Floating Fairy Island?" an earthly immortal followed up and said.
“Even if he can block the attack from the Floating Fairy Island, don’t forget that they have also offended the Blood Cloud Fairy Island. In the past, the Blood Cloud Fairy Island had to worry about the Floating Fairy Island interfering, but now the two have a common enemy. If they really join forces, what can the Qingyun Fairy Island use to resist?” said the female earth fairy who spoke first.
"This man has such a high level of cultivation. He was very sharp-tongued on the sea before. With just a few words, he put a big hat on Duanmu Song, giving Island Master Qu and I a suitable reason not to take action against him. He is obviously a man with strategy and calculations. He should not be blindly arrogant. He must have his reasons for doing this." Murong Chu said, but although he said this, there was a hint of confusion in the depths of his eyes.
To be honest, Murong Chu couldn't figure out what Qin Ziling could use to fight against Qingyun Fairy Island and Xueyun Fairy Island?
Qin Ziling didn't think so much.
He took people to visit some prosperous markets in the west city of Pingyu, and also took them to the most famous restaurant in the city for a meal.
Pingyu West City is worthy of being one of the five major cities in Pingyu Mountain Blessed Land.
Not only is the city extremely prosperous, but one can also encounter people of all races with high levels of cultivation from time to time.
Even one or two earthly immortal-level figures may be encountered occasionally.
This is unimaginable in Xuanming Continent. In Xuanming Continent, let alone earthly immortals, even golden elixir cultivators are great figures, and it is basically impossible to meet them in the secular world.
Among the characters of all races there are bird monsters, beast monsters, and even water monsters.
These monsters live the same life as humans, and their status is even slightly higher than that of humans.
This is easy to understand. Those who can evolve into monsters basically have some extraordinary abilities that are not comparable to ordinary people. Moreover, Zhu Run, the king of the Fire Ape Kingdom, was also born a monster.
At night, the group returned to the large house halfway up the mountain.
backyard.
Qin Ziling stood alone with his hands behind his back under a pine tree.
Soon, Qu Zhong walked lightly to Qin Ziling and stood two meters behind him.
Qin Ziling waved his hand, and mist rose in the backyard, covering the entire backyard.
There was a hint of awe in Qu Zhong's eyes.
The technique of gathering clouds and mist is just a trivial skill for earthly immortals, but the clouds and mist gathered by Qin Ziling are different. Every wisp of cloud and mist seems to contain spirituality and pure Ren water power, and he accomplishes all of this with a wave of his hand, as if this is an ability he is born with.
"How's the investigation going?" Qin Ziling asked.
"Madam is still very much favored by the old villain Gou Huan. I heard that the old villain Gou Huan would bring Madam with him on many occasions, but Madam has never left Pingyu West City alone. There are always earth immortals accompanying her at all times." Qu Zhong replied, with deep hatred and humiliation in his eyes.
"It seems that the old villain Gou Huan keeps a close eye on the madam." Qin Ziling said with a frown.
"Yes." Qu Zhong blurted out, then shook his body slightly, looked at Qin Ziling in disbelief, and said, "Sir, are you preparing..."
"If Madam doesn't leave Pingyu West City, the risk of taking action will be too great. When you go back this time, send some reliable people to Pingyu West City and some surrounding islands to lurk and collect information about Madam. I will wait for the opportunity to act." Qin Ziling interrupted Qu Zhong with a wave of his hand before he could finish.
"Thank you, sir!" Qu Zhong was so moved that he immediately knelt on one knee.
"Chang Feng is my disciple, and I will not allow his mother to be humiliated! But now my strength is limited and my foundation is shallow, so it is not appropriate for me to act directly and openly. I can only wait for an opportunity in secret." Qin Ziling helped Qu Zhong up and said.
After saying that, Qin Ziling suddenly had a very subtle feeling in his heart. He looked up at the Zhenxi General's Mansion on the top of the mountain, patted Qu Zhong on the shoulder, and said, "Go and have a rest."
"Yes, sir." Qu Zhong bowed and retreated.
After Qu Zhong left, Qin Ziling removed the clouds and mist, but his eyes were still looking in the direction of the Zhenxi General's Mansion.
In his immortal palace, next to the seven immortal infants, there was a palm-sized fragment floating, which was the fragment of the Nine Dragon Divine Fire Cover.
Although the price he had to pay to sacrifice this fragment was extremely high, the last time he injected his soul into it, he had finally established some kind of mysterious connection with it, and it could be stored in the immortal palace for nurturing like other magic weapons.
Now, the incomplete runes on the fragment, which had always been motionless, actually showed a slight fluctuation.
As for the source of this fluctuation, Qin Ziling could vaguely sense, relying on the mysterious connection between himself and the fragment, that it should be from the General Zhenxi Mansion on the top of the mountain.
"Could it be that the old villain Gou Huan also has this fragment in his hand?" Qin Ziling's eyes showed surprise.
The fragment of the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Hood is now his most powerful trump card.
Not only can it be used to kill enemies, but it can also help him refine elixirs and magical weapons.
And these are just fragments. It is hard for Qin Ziling to imagine how powerful it would be if he could collect all the fragments and combine them into a complete Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover!
