Chapter 56: Speculation

At this time, the snake demon had completely revealed its true form. It was a terrifying giant snake nearly thirty feet long, coiled in a snake formation. There were still traces of Qi Xuansu's tearing on its huge head. It opened its mouth and bit Qi Xuansu.

Qi Xuansu seemed unaware of the sharp knife from the evil spirit's back. After reaching the top, his body began to fall. The two knives raised high slashed down fiercely with his falling body.

There were two more deep knife marks on the snake's beak, but Qi Xuansu was also sprayed with poisonous gas. He felt dizzy and his body was shaking. However, the detoxification pill he had taken in advance took effect. At this time, a surge of medicine in his body helped him resist the snake venom, making his mind clear.

Although Qi Xuansu was surprised that the evil spirit had disappeared, he didn't care so much. He ran forward, so close that the snake's body was bloody and scales were scattered all over the ground.

The snake demon felt pain, and its body twisted wildly. The snake's tail whipped like an iron whip, and the walls collapsed and the house sank.

Qi Xuansu stepped back, put away his two swords, took out his "Shenlong Hand Gun", loaded with a "Dragon Eye B2", aimed at the snake demon's approximately seven-inch position, pressed down the hammer, and pulled the trigger.

At the moment of firing, a strong ball of fire and smoke exploded at the "Dragon Head" position. Because of the huge power of "Dragon Eye B2", Qi Xuansu's arm holding the gun trembled for a moment.

The bullet shot out along the rifling of the gun barrel at a high speed and instantly shot into the body of the snake demon.

For the huge size of the snake demon, a mere bullet is really nothing, but "Dragon Eye B2" is not just as simple as breaking armor. After entering the body of the snake demon, it exploded immediately.

A big hole was blown out directly on the body of the snake demon, and dirty blood filled the sky.

Qi Xuansu slowly reloaded "Dragon Eye B2" and fired again, blowing another bloody hole in the snake's body.

The reason why the "Shenlong Hand Cannon" was designed by the Shenjiying to only hold one bullet is to match the powerful "Dragon Eye" series. The name of Shenlong comes from this. It is also because the "Dragon Eye" series is too powerful, which puts a heavy load on the hand cannon and makes it almost impossible to fire continuously.

The snake demon struggled even more frantically.

Qi Xuansu pulled away, jumped and rolled to avoid, while continuing to load and fire the gun, and fired five consecutive "Dragon Eye B3".

The snake demon raised its head and wailed, and then the huge snake head fell heavily to the ground, and finally stopped moving.

Qi Xuansu counted the ammunition, and there were still five "Dragon Eye B2" and ten "Dragon Eye B3" left. Now that he has lost his Taoist identity, it is impossible for him to go to Tianjitang to replenish it. Moreover, even if he dared to use his own certificate rashly, he could not buy it without Zhang Yuelu, so one less bullet was used, which was still a bit painful.

But what puzzled Qi Xuansu the most was where did the terrifying ghost go?

In fact, the ghost and the snake demon had a better chance of winning. The snake demon's physical strength was far beyond Qi Xuansu's expectations, and it was impossible to fight quickly. There was also snake venom. If Qi Xuansu was entangled by the snake demon and the ghost attacked from the side, Qi Xuansu would immediately fall into a very dangerous situation. But the ghost disappeared strangely. It couldn't be that he sold the snake demon out while running for his life.

At this moment, Qi Xuansu suddenly remembered something and took out the "Death Jade" he carried with him, raised it up and observed it carefully, and then he found that there was a small black shadow in the "Death Jade", which was constantly swimming in it, but could not escape.

Qi Xuansu was a little surprised.

Could this be the ghost?

Qi Niang said that the "Death Jade" could control the underworld, which was actually true.

Qi Xuansu was really a little surprised.

Raising corpses and catching ghosts are all methods used by alchemists. Now it seems that the "Mysterious Jade of Death" can also have such magical powers.

Qi Xuansu suddenly discovered that the "Mysterious Jade of Life" brought him the magical powers derived from the flesh and blood of a warrior, the physique and blood of a warrior, while the "Mysterious Jade of Death" symbolizes the magical powers of an alchemist.

Life and death correspond to each other, and warriors and alchemists also correspond to each other. One pursues the ultimate physique, which is called the inheritance of human immortals. When you reach the end, you are called immortal and have the true body of a human immortal. Even if your head is cut off, you can regenerate crazily, which is the ultimate of life. One pursues the ultimate spirit, which is called the inheritance of ghost immortals. After reaching the end, one thought is one self, divided into thousands, and can also abandon the body and take over the body of others. For the world, the soul leaving the body is death, so the ghost immortal can also be regarded as the ultimate of death.

Is this a coincidence? Or is there another deeper meaning?

In addition to human immortals and ghost immortals, there are also earth immortals, gods, and heavenly immortals. The courses of Wanxiang Dao Palace describe the extreme magical powers of the five immortals in a very straightforward language.

Earth immortals have five powerful supernatural powers, which can move mountains and seas. Xuansheng once used his great supernatural powers to break the veins of Yunjin Mountain, causing the mountains to move, and Zhengyi Dao has not been able to repair it so far.

Gods can create the kingdom of God on earth. Even if they die, as long as the kingdom of God does not perish, they can continue to return and be reborn. There is a saying of three deaths.

Heavenly immortals are more mysterious and can leave this world.

The world is like a big tree, and the caves are the fruits on the tree. Earth immortals are insects on the tree. They are very powerful and can drill holes in the tree, eat fruits and leaves, and move around with the trunk. But earth immortals cannot leave the tree. Even if they are flying insects with wings, they can only fly for a short time and fall down soon.

But the immortals are different. The immortals are butterflies. Butterflies may not be the opponents of some powerful insects, but they can fly. In this way, the immortals can not only leave the big tree, but also "pollinate" and help the big tree bear fruits, which are all kinds of caves. The largest cave in the world is the Kunlun Cave held by Taoism. It is also the largest fruit on the tree and was created by Taishang Taozu.

As for the relationship between heavenly immortals and earthly immortals, it is actually the relationship of breaking out of cocoons and transforming into butterflies. After some earthly immortals reach the end, they will immediately form cocoons and transform into butterflies, transform from insects into butterflies, and leave this world, which is called ascension.

There are also some earthly immortals who will continue to stay in this world as insects, growing and becoming extremely powerful, and can even hunt down heavenly immortals and gods. Human immortals and ghost immortals are not even considered by them, but they have to bear the price every hundred years. Each catastrophe becomes more severe than the last, until it is annihilated in ashes.

According to records, only Taishang Daozu experienced three heavenly tribulations and then ascended to death. This is already an incredible supernatural power. Ordinary earthly immortals cannot withstand one heavenly tribulation and will die immediately after the expiration of a hundred years.

This is also the reason why the Taoist sect’s great masters of all dynasties will ascend and pass away instead of staying in the human world. This also leads to the fact that the Taoist sect has very strict requirements on the age of the great masters. If you do not become a great master until you are ninety years old, you will be a hundred years old in a few years. When the term expires, he will ascend to death. It would be better to choose a sixty-year-old "young man" who can still have decades of time.

Of course, there are exceptions. For example, the Sixth Generation Grand Master ascended and passed away in a hurry before the expiration of a hundred years. There is no reason to explain, maybe because he feels that there is no nostalgia for him in this world.

When Qi Xuansu was learning these things, he felt that they were too far away from him, and he almost listened to them as fairy tales. Looking back now, he made a bold guess.

Qiniang said that the five major inheritances correspond to the five immortals of heaven, earth, humans, gods, and ghosts. Xuansheng only integrated the five inheritances, and was not created out of thin air. Before Xuansheng, the five inheritances had existed for many years, but they were not systematic. .

Only the Sanren are the inheritance forcibly created by Taoist sects through human power. The original intention is to use human power to create immortals, just like farming, which requires manual labor to increase income and change the situation where the harvest depends on the sky. The result was a failure, but it was not a complete failure. Due to a strange combination of circumstances, the inheritance of Sanren was achieved, which gave some comfort to those who could not leave the inheritance of the Five Immortals.

According to Qiniang, a casual person can also become a banished immortal, but it requires something extremely valuable to make up for his innate deficiencies and change his abilities.

Just like the finishing touch, the banished immortal is a real dragon, while the Sanren is a fake dragon drawn based on the real dragon. To be able to confuse the fake with the real, it only needs the final finishing touch to turn it into a real dragon.

This extremely valuable thing is the finishing touch.

The Taoist sect could get it, but it was not cost-effective. Even if the banished immortals they created did not die in the process, it would be difficult to recover the money. At most, there would be no profit and no loss. If one person died, they would lose all their money, so the Taoist sect finally decided to terminate this plan.

Could it be that "Xuan Jade" is that precious thing that is known as the "finishing touch"?

Qi Xuansu was shocked by his idea, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was reasonable.

As long as he can get the third piece of "mysterious jade" with a different miraculousness, he can verify whether this guess is right or wrong.
