“Huff, huff, huff…”
Xu Taiping, who was breathing heavily, slowly swept his gaze from Li Daoyan and the others, and then landed on the faces of those strange human cultivators.
A middle-aged cultivator who happened to meet Xu Taiping’s gaze smiled faintly at Xu Taiping and then asked:
“Your name is Xu Taiping, right?”
Xu Taiping nodded and said:
“Yes.”
The middle-aged cultivator pointed to the jade bone grass saber tassel on the handle of the Broken Water Saber beside Xu Taiping and said:
“Thank you, young hero, for allowing these soldiers who have fought against the Yuan Lords for a hundred years with their ordinary bones to have the best ending.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping opened his mouth, and then asked curiously:
“Are you…”
The middle-aged cultivator nodded and said:
“The jade bone grass on that hillside was planted by me. Unfortunately, I am not a warrior, and there is not a trace of fighting spirit on my body, so I cannot pull out the battle flag of the Ta Hai Army.”
Xu Taiping shook his head and said:
”You have already done well enough.”
The middle-aged cultivator continued with a gentle smile and said:
“I’m just gambling, gambling on the fortune of the human race, gambling that there will definitely be a teenager who can pull out that battle flag.
When he said this, the middle-aged cultivator looked at Xu Taiping with admiration in his eyes and said:
”Fortunately, I gambled right.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping didn’t speak, but bowed deeply to the middle-aged cultivator and then asked:
”Can senior tell junior your name?”
The middle-aged cultivator smiled and said:
”My surname is Yan, and my given name is Kai. I was once a human cultivator in Xuanhuangtian.”
Xu Taiping nodded, and then looked at the large swathes of remnant souls and said:
”Fellow seniors, can you also tell junior your names and native places?”
As he spoke, he took out the stone tablet of the Tahai Army from the storage ring, and then with a “bang”, he inserted the huge stone tablet into the water.
Seeing this, Yan Kai smiled and nodded and said:
”Remember the past to guide the future. Our names should indeed be known by future generations.”
And just as Yan Kai was speaking, one after another voices transmitted by the remnant souls in this world rang out in Xu Taiping’s mind one after another.
Xu Taiping integrated all these voices into a soul imprint, and when engraving the names next, he would integrate it into the stone tablet together.
Subsequently, Xu Taiping said loudly to the crowd with a firm tone:
“I have already written down the names of all the predecessors. After my injury recovers, I will definitely engrave all your names on the stone tablet so that future generations will know that when they enjoy the peace of the world, there is a group of people who have fought against the monsters here for hundreds of thousands of years!”
As soon as these words came out, all the remnant souls including Yan Kai laughed heartily.
It seems that in their eyes, this is just a trivial matter that doesn’t matter.
Just after the laughter stopped, a voice that Xu Taiping was a little familiar with came into his mind——
“Little Taoist Taiping.”
Xu Taiping looked up by means of mental induction, and then he said in surprise:
“Immortal Qionghua?”
Before entering this Jinting Cave Heaven, the host of Yizhu Tower and the great elder of the tower had mentioned that Immortal Qionghua died in this world because he couldn’t bear the backlash after using the Pojun Sword.
However, Xu Taiping didn’t expect that he was also detained a remnant soul by that Yuanzhu.
Although Immortal Qionghua still had that cold and arrogant face, after seeing that Xu Taiping still remembered him, a smile still appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Immediately, only to hear Immortal Qionghua say to Xu Taiping:
“Little Taoist Taiping, there is one thing that I need to trouble you to convey to your Zhenwu Tianjiufu for me.”
Seeing that Immortal Qionghua actually mentioned the Nine Mansions, Xu Taiping couldn’t help but ask curiously:
”What does Senior Qionghua want me to convey?”
Immortal Qionghua pondered for a moment and then explained to Xu Taiping:
”On my way here to the Jinting Inner Cave Heaven to hold the sword upon the entrustment of the Master of Yizhu Building, I once encountered a spy of the Absolute Nether Heaven lurking in a heretical cultivation sect.”
”When I encountered this spy, he was already at his last gasp.”
”Before he died, after confirming my identity, this spy informed me that there is a group of powerful demonic cultivators who have mastered a cultivation method that can conceal the aura on their bodies.”
”They are preparing to launch a turmoil during your True Martial Sword Supreme Assembly and kill the outstanding sword cultivators from the Five Directions of Heaven and Earth.”
”In this way, they want to reduce the combat power of our Upper Pure cultivation world and prepare for the upcoming Heavenly Demon Battle.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping’s heart skipped a beat and he immediately asked:
”Does Senior know the identities of those demonic cultivators?”
Immortal Qionghua looked deeply at Xu Taiping and then replied with a solemn expression:
”You may not have heard of the other few demonic creatures, but there is one person among them that you must know.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping’s heart sank and he had already guessed something.
Immortal Qionghua then continued:
“That person was also once a disciple of your Qingxuan Sect, surnamed Su and named Chan.”
With his guess in his heart being confirmed, Xu Taiping let out a long sigh of relief.
At this time, only Li Daoyan spoke again and said:
“Little fellow.”
Xu Taiping immediately looked towards Li Daoyan.
Li Daoyan continued very seriously:
“I can’t say much more. I just want to tell you that you must break through to the Huajing realm today. Otherwise, you will definitely not be able to get out of this secret realm exiled by the Yuanzhu, and can only watch helplessly as your Qingxuan Sect and even the entire Zhenwu Heaven are pulled into a situation of eternal damnation by Su Chan.”
Xu Taiping’s heart tightened.
Because he knew that Li Daoyan, who was once the master of the Kunwu Sword, definitely had the ability to know something.
With this thought in mind, Xu Taiping didn’t waste any more words and immediately transmitted his voice to Ping’an and Baiyu in the white gourd and said:
“Ping’an, Baiyu, has that breakthrough pill been refined yet?”
Because the divine sense of the Yuanzhu would affect the monster, he didn’t dare to let Baiyu and Ping’an out all along.
Not long after, only Ping’an replied:
“Big brother, the pill has been ready for a long time.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping relaxed and then looked up at Li Daoyan and said:
“Junior can try to break through.”
As he spoke, his gaze swept over the group of remnant souls again, and then he said seriously:
“Maybe because the junior has the Tongming Dao Heart, the extraterritorial demons attracted when breaking through the realm are far more powerful than ordinary cultivators. Please prepare well, seniors.”
Everyone laughed heartily again when they heard this.
Then they heard Yan Kai say very confidently:
“In our current state, it may be a bit difficult to deal with cultivators or demons, but it’s just right to deal with those extraterritorial demons that are also just spiritual bodies!”
When Xu Taiping heard this, he nodded with gratitude in his eyes.
Saying that, he took out another pot of Hidden Immortal Brew and said to everyone:
“Before breaking through the realm, I have to heal my injuries first. Please wait a moment, seniors.”
Immediately, he picked up the wine gourd and poured it into his mouth with a “gurgling” sound.
And while he was pouring the wine, Li Daoyan suddenly transmitted a voice to him again:
“Kid, there is one thing that I actually forgot to tell you.”
While drinking, Xu Taiping transmitted a voice in his heart to Li Daoyan and asked:
“Senior, please feel free to speak.”
Soon, Li Daoyan’s voice rang out in Xu Taiping’s mind again——
“When you brewed the spiritual wine in your hand, did you need to use the Dragon Gallstone?”
Xu Taiping immediately replied:
“It is indeed necessary to use the Dragon Gallstone.”
Li Daoyan immediately laughed and said:
“After the real dragon in this world fell, the only place where the Dragon Gallstone can be found now is that place.”
“But this place is extremely dangerous. Even if I go there, it will be a narrow escape. If you really need the Dragon Gallstone urgently, I can tell you.”
