"What an ominous object! I'll suppress it first." Although Mahakasyapa was surprised by the power of the Burial Coffin, he was not panicked at all. He took a string of Buddhist beads from his sleeve and threw it toward the Burial Coffin.
This string of prayer beads may look ordinary, but it was used by Mahakasyapa to deal with the bronze coffin used to bury the world, so how could ordinary prayer beads compare?
This was clearly a magical treasure, crafted by the Buddha himself, its power no less than that of the Burial Coffin. Furthermore, Mahakasyapa's cultivation was far superior to Wang Xuan's, so the string of prayer beads was enlarged and placed on the Burial Coffin, making it impossible for the coffin to break free from his control no matter how much it struggled.
Wang Xuan raised an eyebrow and sneered, "Your Buddha is truly wealthy. Even a nominal disciple like Fahai was bestowed with a top-grade magic weapon, while a direct disciple like you was given a spiritual treasure. I wonder how many spiritual treasures you possess?"
With a flick of his wrist, Wang Xuan sent a three-inch-tall mountain flying.
The small hill rose with the wind and quickly turned into a bottomless abyss, crashing down on Mahakasyapa.
Not only that, Wang Xuan unleashed his full power, taking out all the spiritual treasures he possessed. A spiritual river spread through the spatial turbulence, sweeping towards Mahakasyapa. The Kunlun Mirror also unleashed its divine power once more, imprisoning the space surrounding Mahakasyapa.
Including the Copper Coffin of Burial, Wang Xuan has already used four spiritual treasures, which greatly surprised even Moke Kasyapa.
Chapter 211 The White Snake Temporarily Ends
At the critical moment, Venerable Kasyapa shook his robe, and instantly a radiant Buddhist light burst forth. This was also a spiritual treasure, and one that focused on defense.
Although Kasyapa's cultivation was several minor realms higher than Wang Xuan's, he still struggled to withstand the bombardment of the three great spiritual treasures with just a kasaya, and had to take back the string of Buddhist beads he had previously used.
In this way, Wang Xuan's Burial Coffin was temporarily freed from the suppression of the Buddhist beads and could be re-engaged in the battle.
With the addition of the Buddhist prayer beads and the bronze coffin used for burial, the number of spiritual treasures on both sides became four against two. Although Wang Xuan had twice as many spiritual treasures, the power he could unleash was less than that of the spiritual treasures in Kasyapa's hands, so he was the one who was at a disadvantage.
Wang Xuan gritted his teeth and took out another magical treasure from his robes. This was a jade pendant, originally belonging to the Fairy Disenchantment from the Dream of the Red Chamber world, and temporarily entrusted to Wang Xuan for safekeeping.
"boom!"
The seven spiritual treasures clashed with each other, causing the spatial turbulence to churn violently. It was fortunate that they were fighting amidst the spatial turbulence; otherwise, if they had been at the Xuan Tian Sacred Sect, the entire area within a thousand miles would likely have been affected.
That would inevitably result in the deaths and injuries of countless people, and might even trigger a tribulation lightning strike from the heavens, leaving the two of them severely injured, if not dead.
After unleashing dozens of attacks with his spiritual treasures, Wang Xuan sighed inwardly. With his current strength, conquering a mythical world was far too difficult. Even the powerful Golden Peak cultivators didn't need to intervene; a single Kasyapa would be enough to defeat him.
Indeed, Wang Xuan was no match for Jia Ye. Even though he used his five spiritual treasures to fight, the amount of magical power required to activate each of them was enormous.
After exchanging dozens of blows, Wang Xuan had exhausted most of his magical power and would be defeated in a dozen or so more moves at most.
What chilled him to the bone even more was that while he was fighting the monk Kasyapa, more than a dozen incredibly powerful divine senses were faintly scanning the void, observing Wang Xuan from all sides.
The owners of these divine thoughts were none other than the dozen or so Golden Immortals from the world of the Legend of the White Snake, each comparable to a seventh-tier god or demon.
Kasyapa was merely ostensibly stepping forward to test Wang Xuan, while the powerful Golden Immortals took the opportunity to probe Wang Xuan's true strength and weaknesses.
If Wang Xuan is truly a reincarnation of a Golden Immortal, and had laid out numerous precautions before his reincarnation, then naturally no one would want to kill him. At most, they would only restrict the expansion of his martial arts power.
But once they realize that Wang Xuan is all show and no real power to threaten a Golden Immortal, he will immediately face a devastating blow!
"I have been spreading the Dao in the world of the Legend of the White Snake for more than ten years, and I have already reaped a lot of fortune. I have also comprehended the mysteries of the laws of this mythological world. There is no need for me to stay in this world any longer." Wang Xuan smiled coldly to himself: "When I attain the seventh-order God-Demon realm and the Xuan Tian world has also transformed into a mythological world, I will definitely come back to kill."
After Wang Xuan made his decision, the five spiritual treasures flew back simultaneously and merged into his sea of consciousness between his eyebrows.
"Gaye, you dare to test me with your cultivation level of late True Immortal? You're simply courting death!" Wang Xuan roared to the sky, his aura rapidly increasing, as if he was about to unleash some trump card.
Venerable Kasyapa felt a chill run down his spine and quickly retrieved his two spiritual treasures to protect himself. The Buddhist sect had long suspected that Wang Xuan was a reincarnation of a Golden Immortal. The methods left behind by a Golden Immortal before reincarnation were extraordinary and could definitely threaten his life.
Just as Venerable Kasyapa was defending with all his might, Wang Xuan quickly activated the Eternal Tower of Heaven and Earth, and his entire figure dissipated into the spatial turbulence like a bubble.
"What?!" A series of astonished thoughts echoed in the spatial turbulence. Only two or three breaths later, more than a dozen Golden Immortal experts descended upon the scene.
"This person's karma has vanished without a trace; his aura cannot be found within the Three Realms. He couldn't have simply disappeared into thin air, could he?" a majestic emperor said in a deep voice. This emperor was named Zhang Bairen, the Jade Emperor of the White Snake Legend world, the supreme ruler of Heaven!
The Jade Emperor, who was able to reign supreme over the Three Realms and become the nominal supreme ruler of the world of the Legend of the White Snake, naturally possessed immense power and was one of the most powerful among these dozen or so Golden Immortals.
A Buddha, radiating brilliant light, spoke: "This person's origins are mysterious, and he can conceal the secrets of heaven, making it impossible for even us immortal golden immortals to fathom his background. We all thought he was the reincarnation of some ancient golden immortal, but now it seems that this person is probably not from our world!"
“The Buddha’s words are true!” A Taoist priest with white hair and a youthful face said quietly, “Did you notice that at the same time that person disappeared, the fortune representing martial arts also vanished into thin air, as if it had been swallowed up by something?”
"What?!" The other Golden Immortals finally managed to spare a glance to check on the Xuan Tian Sacred Sect in the mortal realm. Sure enough, they found that the sect's gate had collapsed, and Xu Xian, the reincarnation of the Ziwei Emperor, had been imprisoned in Jinshan Temple, while the other disciples had scattered and fled.
Only Xiaoqing and Bai Suzhen did not give up. Together they stormed Jinshan Temple and staged a spectacular "flooding of Jinshan Temple"...
"The Buddha is indeed shrewd; he has so quickly seized this prize." The Jade Emperor, Laozi, and other Golden Immortals all looked at the Buddha with unfriendly expressions.
Although Wang Xuan absorbed all the fortune of the Xuan Tian Holy Sect before leaving, he could not take the martial arts inheritance he left behind with him. These were resources that would strengthen the foundation of both Buddhism and Taoism.
More importantly, Xu Xian, as the reincarnation of the Ziwei Emperor, is considered one of the most prominent figures in Taoism. However, he has now been imprisoned in Jinshan Temple by Fahai, a disciple of the Buddha, which is a blow to the fate of Taoism.
Regardless of the conflict between the Taoist and Buddhist sects in the Legend of the White Snake world, Wang Xuan has already returned to the Xuan Tian world.
As a high-level martial arts world, the Xuan Tian World experiences time five times faster than the mythological world. He had only been gone for a little over a decade, but sixty or seventy years had passed in the Xuan Tian World!
The Xuan Tian world has now completely digested the Dream of the Red Chamber world, its laws are more profound and complete, its Xuan Tian will is stronger, and even its world volume has doubled again!
Among the many fierce generals that Wang Xuan brought back from the mythical Three Kingdoms world, Huang Zhong and Lü Bu were already at the perfect state of Heaven and Man, while Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Xu Chu, Dian Wei, and Taishi Ci had all reached the perfect state of Heaven and Man!
Chapter 212 The Legend of the Swordsmen of Mount Shu
“Nowadays, the Xuan Tian World can be described as a gathering place for experts. It would be a waste to let so many experts stay in the Xuan Tian World as lazy bums. We must find something for them to do.” Wang Xuan focused his mind on the Eternal Tower of Heaven and Earth, and looked through the various information within it.
Name: Wang Xuan
Permissions: Level 5
Cultivation level: Early stage of supernatural powers
World Origin: 10 (The total origin of a low-level martial arts world is 1).
Cultivation Technique: Mysterious Heavenly Divine Art
Supernatural combat skills: Burial Sword Technique, Soaring Step, Divine Firmament Five Thunder Orthodox Method, Profound Yin Refining Form Technique, Law of Heaven and Earth, Vajra Indestructible
Existing world coordinates: Mythical Three Kingdoms World, Water Margin World, Xuantian World, Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio World, Dream of the Red Chamber World, Legend of the White Snake World, Legend of the Swordsmen of Shu Mountain World...
Unlocked features: Time Travel, Enlightenment, Eternal Eye, World Passage, Concealing Heavenly Secrets, World Fusion
Leaving aside other changes, the only notable change is that the number of world coordinates explored by the Eternal Tower of Heaven and Earth has increased by hundreds, with each world coordinate representing a complete world!
Of the hundred or so worlds, the vast majority are low- or mid-level martial arts worlds, not worth Wang Xuan's attention. He only needs to open the world passage, and the Xuan Tian Will will naturally erode other worlds through the world passage to strengthen itself.
However, among these dimensional coordinates are the world coordinates of the Legend of Shushan Swordsman, which is clearly another mythological world, where a complete Heavenly Dao was born!
Wang Xuan briefly recalled the plot of "The Legend of the Swordsmen of Shu Mountain," in which the founder of the Emei Sect, Master Changmei, attained the Golden Immortal realm and ascended to the Lingkong Immortal Realm. Besides him, masters like Guangchengzi, Master Chunyang, and Master Hesha all ascended to the Lingkong Immortal Realm with the cultivation of a Golden Immortal.
If Wang Xuan's prediction is correct, the Golden Immortal realm in the world of Shushan Swordsman is similar to the Golden Immortal realm in the world of White Snake, which is equivalent to the realm of martial arts gods and demons.
However, the world of Shushan Swordsman is not as good as the world of Legend of the White Snake. Instead, it is similar to the mythical Three Kingdoms, and it is connected to a higher-level world, so much so that the masters have ascended to the Spirit Realm.
"Golden Immortal is equivalent to the Martial Dao God and Demon realm, then Celestial Immortal is equivalent to the Martial Dao Divine Power realm, and Earth Immortal is equivalent to the Martial Dao Celestial Human realm."
"With my current strength, I could be considered a Celestial Immortal in the world of Shushan Swordsman, one of the top-tier experts." After thinking it over for a moment, Wang Xuan felt that the world of Shushan Swordsman was perfect for him to roam around in.
The world of Shushan Swordsman is full of treasures, and with his understanding of the plot, Wang Xuan could easily go and collect them all.
He could even spread martial arts in that world and compete with the Emei Sect for destiny.
"It would be too weak for me to go alone. This time I must take Lü Bu and the others with me." Wang Xuan reached out and grabbed at the air, and a phantom talisman appeared.
This talisman was formed by the Heavenly Will of the Xuan Tian World consuming the world's origin. It can conceal the secrets of Heaven to a certain extent, but it is unknown whether it can deceive the Heavenly Dao in the world of Shushan Swordsman.
"Just to be on the safe side, let's take Fairy Jinghuan over as a guinea pig first." Wang Xuan immediately made the decision and called Fairy Jinghuan over.
Without the support of the world authority of the Dream of the Red Chamber, over the years, Fairy Jinghuan's cultivation level has not increased but decreased, and she has fallen to the late stage of True Immortal, which is equivalent to a martial arts expert in the late stage of Divine Power.
In order to completely control Fairy Jinghuan, Wang Xuan had her entrust her true spirit to the will of Xuantian. As long as the Xuantian world does not perish, even if Fairy Jinghuan dies in another world, Wang Xuan can resurrect her.
In return, Fairy Jinghuan was completely bound to the Xuan Tian World, destined to be Wang Xuan's underling for the rest of her life.
"Fairy, this time I'll take you to a mythical world to see the immortal cultivation system of another world!" Wang Xuan said with a smile, as if this was a great benefit for Fairy Jinghuan.
Fairy Jinghuan pursed her lips. How could she not know the dangers of going to a strange mythical world? Her boss was clearly taking her on an adventure, the kind where she was almost guaranteed to die!
Knowing this, Fairy Jinghuan didn't have the courage to refuse. After all, even if she died in another world, she could be resurrected in the Xuan Tian World. But if Wang Xuan killed her, she would truly be dead, without even a chance to be resurrected.
Wang Xuan grabbed Fairy Jinghuan's shoulder with one hand and used his mind to activate the Eternal Tower of Heaven and Earth. An eternal and immortal light enveloped the two of them, instantly transporting them through endless time and space to a strange world.
Needless to say, this unfamiliar world is the world of Shushan Swordsman.
Upon entering the world of Shushan Swordsman, Wang Xuan immediately sensed a profound sense of decline permeating the heavens and earth. The entire world seemed to have aged, about to slowly die.
This kind of stagnant aura is difficult for ordinary cultivators to sense; only cultivators whose cultivation has reached the Divine Power realm or above can sense it.
"No wonder in the original story, the world of Shushan Swordsman Legend soon fell into the Dharma-ending Age, where Celestial Immortals disappeared and Earth Immortals became the end of cultivation." Wang Xuan's eyes gleamed with excitement.
If the world of Shushan Swordsman Legend were a perfectly intact mythological world, Wang Xuan, with his current strength, would have no chance of conquering it.
But now this world is about to die, and the Heavenly Dao is already half dead. It can completely summon the will of Xuan Tian and take over this mythical world!
"It's a bit too early to make a move now. I'll wait until the story of 'The Legend of the Swordsmen of Shushan' ends and the world enters the Dharma-ending Age before I act. Only then will I have a chance to succeed in one fell swoop!" Wang Xuan regained his composure and turned to Fairy Jinghuan beside him, asking, "Fairy, are you alright? Has the Heavenly Dao of this world detected anything amiss?"
Fairy Jinghuan was trembling with fear, lest a tribulation lightning bolt descend from the sky and kill her on the spot.
In ancient times, the world of Dream of the Red Chamber was also a mythical world. When Fairy Jinghuan first began her cultivation, she had heard about the power of the Heavenly Dao, which could easily annihilate Golden Immortals. How could she not feel fear?
Time passed second by second, and half an hour later, the expected tribulation lightning still hadn't arrived.
Wang Xuan was relieved, knowing that the talismans he had created had worked. The Heavenly Dao of the Shushan Swordsman world was even weaker than he had imagined, with most of its power probably trapped in a seal to avoid unnecessary consumption.
"In this way, we can also bring Lu Bu and the others over!"
Without further hesitation, Wang Xuan vanished from his spot in a flash, temporarily returning to the Xuan Tian World.
Lu Bu, Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, and eight other masters at the peak of the Celestial Realm had already gathered and taken their places. After each of them received a talisman to conceal the secrets of heaven, they followed Wang Xuan to the world of Shushan Swordsman.
Chapter 213 Coercing the Red-Haired Ancestor
Wang Xuan, along with Fairy Jinghuan and eight other masters at the peak of the Celestial Realm, including Lü Bu, descended upon the world of Shushan Swordsman, preparing to stir up trouble.
"We don't know where we are in the world of Shushan Swordsman, we need to find someone to ask around." Wang Xuan released his divine sense, which covered an area of hundreds of miles.
Looking around, all you can see are endless mountains, and hardly any human habitation.
The world of Shushan Swordsman is roughly the same as that of China, only scaled up hundreds of times. Judging from the terrain and climate, they should be located in the southwestern Shu region, surrounded by the continuous Western Shu Mountains.
"The mountains of Western Shu, what a wonderful place! The Ningcui Cliff of the Emei Sect is located in the mountains of Western Shu, which can be considered the number one blessed land in this world!" Wang Xuan knew the plot of the Legend of the Swordsman of Shu Mountain and knew that this seemingly desolate mountain was actually a place where the great fortune of immortals in this world gathered.
