Chapter 2797: Golden Phantom Ghost Master
Back when your teacher left this realm, his cultivation was still inferior to yours. He left a wisp of his soul and set up the restrictions of this hall to protect it. If a successor were to inherit i..."A stele's body, a rootless soul. Could this be the will of the Boundary Heaven Stone itself" Even the all-knowing Celestial Demon Lord, upon hearing the Broken Arm's account, couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
“Lu Dan, with his brilliant strategies, would have surely fallen into the trap of Tian Shi had he not meticulously planned beforehand.”
The Heavenly Demon Lord wasn't flattering Lu Xiaoteng. Before this, he had possessed the body of Ji Yuanzhu and commanded countless powerful demon clan warriors. Coupled with his thousands of years of schemes in the chaotic demon domain, he had been completely defeated by Lu Xiaoteng. This was not something that could be achieved solely through strength. At the beginning, Lu Xiaoteng's strength was far inferior to that of the Heavenly Demon Lord.
"The will of the Jietian Stone itself I don't understand." Both Duan Bi and the Lotus Avatar listened in surprise. The profound meaning was difficult to grasp.
"I had only heard about this from predecessors in the demon path, and at the time I didn't believe it much. Now it seems highly likely. The Jietian Stone is a treasure of heaven and earth, containing the great principles of heaven and earth within it. It is not an independent consciousness itself. But later, powerful beings from all races used their divine powers to leverage the Jietian Stone, cultivating the method of imprinting runes, to leave their mark on the stone. Those who left their marks had different intentions, and over time they would influence the Jietian Stone, causing it to develop a divine consciousness. This Gou Qian is very likely to have originated in this way."
The Celestial Demon Lord explained.
"In that case, it all makes sense," the lotus avatar nodded, agreeing with Duan Bi. Right now, both sides had a common interest. The Heavenly Demon Lord needed Lu Xiaoteng's talent to possibly recover his strength, so he wouldn't take any short-sighted actions regarding the Boundary Heaven Stone for the time being.
After some communication with the Heavenly Demon Lord, Duan Bi and Lotus’s avatar continued to explore the mysterious passageways of this Bagua secret realm.
After killing Gou Qian, the subsequent journey was relatively smoother. At this time, the feeling of the stele imprints refined within his body became increasingly stronger. Both the severed arm and the lotus avatar were overjoyed at the same time. According to their calculations, the reason Gou Qian attacked the severed arm was that the severed arm had gradually reached the core position of the Jietian Stone. Otherwise, under circumstances where there was no threat whatsoever, how could Gou Qian expend so much effort dealing with him
As the passage deepened, it became increasingly narrow, only a hundred or dozens of feet wide. The power of thunder and interwoven frost were inescapable; one could only circulate their mana to forcefully break through the obstruction.
Having wandered through this secret realm for months, my eyes suddenly opened up. Here, heaven and earth were indistinguishable. Wandering lightning and ice mist intermingled, obscuring my vision. In the distance, a rough and majestic stone temple faintly stood within the lightning and ice mist. I couldn't tell how far away it was, nor could I tell its exact size.
In the distance, several massive auras of demonic, magical, and ghostly energy surged forward. Some were familiar, while others were utterly alien.
"It seems that we have killed Gou Qian, and everyone else has also resolved their own problems." The lotus avatar glanced into the distance, two auras were extremely familiar, the Four-Eyed Golden Hawk and the Sky-Traveling Shark.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
As expected of a Mahayana demon cultivator, even though he was ambushed by Gou Qian, You Tiankun's condition is still better than being severely injured. He doesn't look like he's been heavily wounded.
As for the Great Mahayana Demon Clan, both the severed arm and the lotus avatar were controlled by Lu Xia Tian's former deputy spirit. Naturally, he was no stranger to them. Back then, in the star region, they had fought against Ye Qian Xun, the Nine-Eyed Demon Falcon.
The only one I had never met was another golden skeleton, a powerful ghost race warrior who emanated an eerie blue ghostly aura all over his body. However, this ghost, Lu Xia Tian, I had heard of. He was the Golden Ghost Master, renowned in the ghost race for his fame. His reputation had lasted for tens of thousands of years. He was one of the dominant figures within the ghost race.
“Unexpectedly, King Lu Dan arrived so quickly. As the saying goes, there is no falsehood under great fame.” Four-Eyed Golden Hawk looked at the severed arm and lotus split-body with a wary eye. The scarred woman transformed by Gou Qian was not easy to deal with; even he was once disarmed by her in a careless moment, allowing the opponent to secretly attack the遊天鯤鯊, causing it significant injury. Thankfully, the 遊天鯤鯊 possessed a hereditary healing artifact passed down through its lineage, enabling it to recover to this extent within such a short time.”
That was why he couldn't even get a good deal from that scar-faced woman. If it wasn't for his incredible speed, allowing him to dodge the scar-faced woman's schemes, he probably wouldn't be in this state right now. Looking at Lu Xiaitian's severed arm and the nameless swordsman who was unharmed, the comparison made Jin Haobird even more cautious in its heart.
"Just lucky, I guess. Didn't run into too many dangers along the way." The One-Armed Man replied casually.
At this time, Duan Bi's true attention was on the Nine-Eyed Demon Owl. Back then, this Nine-Eyed Demon Owl and Ye Qianxun were evenly matched in strength. Over these two thousand years, Ye Qianxun has become a thing of the past, while the Nine-Eyed Demon Owl's strength has grown even stronger. However, what truly made Duan Bi uneasy was the matter of Chi Zi Youlian.
At the beginning, Jiu Yan Mo Xiao and Ye Qian Xin were sent away together by him. It is estimated that they also know that Chi Zi You Lian's master Lian was taken by him. It is not difficult to guess that he has cultivated a lotus avatar.
In fact, the Nine-Eyed Demon Vulture did have some suspicions. Its eyes swept back and forth between the severed arm and the nameless swordsman. Even though he had some doubts in his heart, he couldn't determine if this nameless swordsman was indeed Lu Xiaoteng's lotus incarnation.
You have to know that back then, Lu Xia Tian obtained the Chi Zi You Lian when he was only at the Heding stage. Until now, it hasn't even been two thousand and a few hundred years. In such a short time, he cultivated a lotus clone without any foundation to a strength comparable to his own Great Ascension stage. This has even surpassed the understanding of a Great Ascension cultivator.
"Lu Danwang, it's been many years. I didn't expect you to have progressed to such a level, and with the help of this nameless friend, it is truly commendable." The Nine-Eyed Demon Owl's nine eyes flickered within a swirling cloud of demonic energy as they scanned back and forth between the severed arm and the lotus blossom avatar.
"It has been a long time since I last saw the Nine-Eyed Demon Lord."

With a nod to the other, they greeted each other. There was no animosity between them; for now, the other had not harmed him. The Armless Man held no ill will toward the other party, yet he knew that with the Skystone in hand, their paths would inevitably cross for reasons beyond mere profit. How long this temporary peace could last, only Heaven knew.
"This is not the time for reminiscing. Since all of you have arrived here, you are not ordinary people. You likely share the same goal—to obtain the mystical Sky-Boundary Stone. The final winner will depend on their own methods. However, before that, we need to work together to break open this turtle shell surrounding the Sky-Boundary Stone. Do any of you have any objections"
Jinyu Guizhu swept the broken arm, his four golden eyes glaring at several Jīnmùjīn Hào birds.
“The ghost master’s intentions align perfectly with mine.” The four-eyed golden hawk said, not seeming worried that the Heavenly Kun Shark being injured would affect their combined strength.
“Then let’s do it.” Duan Bi agreed. The boundary stone had already produced someone as powerful as Gou Qian. Back then, the Buddha Sect and some powerful demon clans swore an oath with the boundary stone, leaving a strong curse power on it. Even though many years have passed, it wouldn't be easy to dispel this resentment.other human Heavenly Immortals inside the barrier.Chu Zhaoyang, Kou Tong, Lin Jing and others were all lacking in experience. Although Lu Xiaoteng had sparred with these people countless times over th...
