heaven money

Dangdangdang, the distant sound of metal clashing echoed all around.

In addition, there are also shouts, shouts of unwillingness, shouts of unwillingness to surrender, and shouts of determination to fight for a way out.

Dangdangdang, Meng Qi's blood suddenly boiled, as if he had returned to the end of ancient times, forging long swords, sharpening precious knives, cutting through thorns, and killing demons. Every inch of the road is stained with blood in the human race's journey for survival!

"At the end of the stairs is the place where the Emperor forged his sword."

Gao Lan showed off his knowledge:
"The Human Emperor Sword was not considered a peerless divine weapon at first, but as our race and other oppressed creatures honed their undying faith generation after generation, and as demon kings, demon gods, evil demon saints were slain one after another by the sword, with blood staining the blade, it slowly improved, and eventually reached the pinnacle with the Human Emperor!"

As he spoke, he led Meng Qi towards the jade-colored steps. When they got closer, he suddenly took a breath:
"The Holy Emperor has been here, and so has the Demon Buddha."

Meng Qi had no idea and could only choose to believe Gao Lan's words.

The "Holy Emperor" was born. He was a powerful human who succeeded the Human Emperor after he found a place to sit and pass away. He was evaluated by later generations as being no less powerful than the Medicine King Buddha who had not yet entered Nirvana at that time. However, he was able to get here mostly by relying on the humane skills or corresponding treasures.

As for the Demonic Buddha, he is able to provoke the existence of the Buddha, so he deserves his reputation in vain!

"It seems that the Demon Buddha was angry because he got nothing after breaking in, so he wanted to destroy the Dragon Platform."

Meng Qi guessed.

Gao Lan sighed:

"Perhaps he wanted to force out the Human Emperor Sword, but unfortunately he failed, and instead made Longtai escape without a trace until the end of the Kang Dynasty."

Shang Yi touched his chin and said:

"Or maybe he is testing whether the Human Emperor is really dead!"

Gao Lan and Meng Qi turned around and looked at Shang Yi at the same time, shock in their eyes.

Shang Yi said:

"A person like that escapes time and fate, so it's hard for him to die completely. Maybe he left behind some plan to revive him.

Perhaps the Demon Buddha was testing whether the Human Emperor had left any backup plan. Perhaps other powerful beings had the same idea at the time, and wanted to use the Demon Buddha's hand to see if the Human Emperor was really dead!"

Gao Lan nodded thoughtfully and said:
"Your idea makes sense."

Then he looked at Shang Yi and said:
"Are you going in?"

"It is rumored that there is a fire dragon and an ancient golden crow in the depths of the sea of ​​fire. It is extremely dangerous."

Shang Yi nodded indifferently:
"Of course, after all, we are here!"

The corner of Meng Qi's mouth twitched, he felt that this sentence was familiar.

“God is here…”

Meng Qi was still a mortal man and did not dare to provoke the mythical creatures. He searched around the jade steps to see if there was any extra gain.

Gao Lan stepped onto the stairs and walked slowly forward. As he walked, Meng Qi noticed that his figure began to sway vaguely, as if it was caused by the high temperature.

About halfway through the journey, he was surrounded by white mist and thousands of lights were lit up inside. He had to stop, then sat cross-legged, holding the True Emperor Seal in his hand, closing his eyes and calming his mind, activating the treasure, using the aura contained in the seal and his own humanitarian skills as bait to search for the Human Emperor Sword.

However, Shang Yi, whose realm was slightly lower than Gao Lan's, walked leisurely into the sea of ​​fire.

Shang Yi did not go deeper, but stayed here. The Ancient Road of Human Emperor is very special. There are thousands of lights here, and it is closely related to humanity and the human race.

In his heart, he was condensing a flame that also carried the scent of humanity, the human race, and the lights of thousands of homes. It was a flame that was passed down in his blood and ignited in the world of high-level martial arts around the world - "Flint Fire".

This is the fire of humanity, and also the ancestral fire of the human race in all the heavens and worlds. It represents the destiny of the human race and is the symbol of the human race!

The flint was lit, and the sea of ​​fire on the ancient road of the Human Emperor in the outside world did not pose any obstacle to Shang Yi. Even the human and imperial aura on Shang Yi became stronger and stronger, as if he had really transformed into a human emperor.

Moreover, there is an inexplicable connection between the flint fire and the Ancient Road of the Human Emperor.

The Ancient Way of the Human Emperor was left behind by the Human Emperor to choose his successors, and it has a deep connection with humanity and the Emperor.

The fire of Sui comes from the human bloodline of Shang Yi, and even more from the "fire" of Suiren, the third ancestor of the human race, and is even more closely connected with humanity.

Therefore, the Ancient Way of the Human Emperor resonated with the fire, allowing Shang Yi to become more and more integrated into the Ancient Way of the Human Emperor. He felt as if he were assisted by God and became more and more relaxed. Even his own strength became stronger with the help of the Ancient Way of the Human Emperor, no less than the power that Wutan and I obtained in the Abyss of Destruction.

"A short cut!"

Shang Yi was shocked. In the original novel, the Ancient Road of the Human Emperor was just the place where the Human Emperor selected his successors. Even Guang Chengzi and others who were at the peak of their talent could not enter and get the Human Emperor Sword. It was only because the Human Emperor Sword, the divine weapon from the other shore, and the body of the Human Emperor were suppressing them here.

Unexpectedly, the good fortune of humanity gathered in this place where the Emperor attained enlightenment has transformed this place into a shortcut that is no less important than the Nine Heavens, the Abyss of Destruction, and the Origin of Life and Death.

No wonder the Demon Buddha came here in person, it turns out that only those from the other side can come here in person to see everything here!
Shang Yi's mind moved. He originally just wanted to use the flint fire to gather the destiny of humanity and conceal the secrets of heaven to help the Human Emperor return. However, if such a shortcut could be used better now, it would definitely give those sleeping powerful people a big surprise!

The lit "flint fire" burned at the end of the Ancient Road of the Human Emperor. The lights of thousands of homes here, the faith of the human race, and the power of humanity also gathered on the "flint fire", becoming firewood that made the "flint fire" brighter.

At this moment, even Emperor Gao Lan, who possessed the true imperial seal, was more recognized by the Ancient Road of the Human Emperor than Shang Yi, who failed to light the "flint fire" amidst the lights of thousands of homes.

At the same time, an inexplicable force from the "flint fire" enveloped the Ancient Road of the Human Emperor, and the strange phenomena on Shang Yi's body were all covered up. Gao Lan did not notice anything, and Meng Qi also did not see what Shang Yi got at the end of the Ancient Road of the Human Emperor.

And those powerful people hiding behind Meng Qi, who were also paying attention to the Ancient Road of the Human Emperor, did not notice anything unusual about Shang Yi. They were just observing Gao Lan who was holding the True Emperor Seal.

Shang Yi suddenly realized in his heart that it was no wonder that when Gao Lan got the Human Emperor Sword here, it was just a broken-looking sword. It was not only because its power had not recovered, but also because it was hiding itself and avoiding the eyes in the dark.

When the power of "Flint Fire" was unleashed, the entire area of ​​the Ancient Road of the Human Emperor became the private territory of the human race. The Heavenly Dao, the Other Shore, and even the Ancients were unable to extend their power over here.

Shang Yi thought to himself:

"A place like this is truly equivalent to the Fire Cloud Cave of the human race!"

This place has been completely separated from the heavens and all worlds. It is more thorough than the snow world evolved by Shang Yi, Zhenwu Emperor, Taiqing and others with the help of the Taoist relics. It is equivalent to a completely independent world.

It is like the world inside the body of a powerful being on the other side, completely unaffected by the outside world. Even at the end of the era, this place protected by the power of humanity will not be affected. It is equivalent to truly transcending the real world and the other side of the world.

After realizing the specialness of this place, Shang Yi took a deep look at the "flint fire" floating out of his body, and bowed three times respectfully and silently.

Shang Yi simply could not do such a thing. Even if he summoned his original body with all the money in the world and released all his power, he could not achieve such a level.

The reason why it was successful was probably because the lighting of the "flint fire" attracted the attention of the ancestor of the human race. It was he who used the connection with the "flint fire" to connect with the power of humanity and turned the Ancient Road of the Human Emperor into a holy place on the other side belonging to the human race!

From now on, as long as the human race reaches the Ancient Road of the Human Emperor, they will no longer be bound by the rules of the heavens and all worlds, nor will they have to worry about the will of heaven on the other side rewriting the timeline or erasing any traces of themselves.

"what?"

Shang Yi looked up in surprise, not looking up at the sky, but sensing the rules of heaven and earth here. He felt that his life span had greatly increased at this moment, unlike in the real world, where he could not live forever due to the damage to the life span rules. His eyes lit up. There was no limit on life span here, and it would not be disturbed or affected by the outside world. This ancient road of the human emperor would become the foundation of the human race in this world, a holy place!
In the future, generations of outstanding people will sit in the ancient land of the Human Emperor, practicing step by step to reach the other shore, and no one will be able to decide the fate of the human race at will.

At this time, the "Suihuo" was constantly beating, and spiritual light gathered little by little. Feeling the pressure of the Human Emperor within it, Shang Yi understood that the "Suihuo" was gathering the Human Emperor's true spirit again. When the Human Emperor's true spirit was revived, with the Human Emperor's remains here, it would be able to return faster.

Shang Yi was also observing the movements of "Flint Fire", which was a means to gather the true spirit again in the heavens and all worlds. If he could comprehend it, it would be an ability that surpassed the other side.

On the other side, Gao Lan said in frustration: "Am I not the destined owner of the Human Emperor Sword?"

He tried hard for a long time, but the whole sea of ​​fire was normal and no different from before.

He seemed to think that this trip would be easy...

Meng Qi wiped away the non-existent cold sweat.

The image of Gao Lan in his mind was rather strange. Unlike other masters, he was not like those who kept their emotions hidden and were extremely cunning. Instead, he showed his temperament openly, like a child or a madman.

In this regard, Meng Qi hoped that Shang Yi would obtain the Human Emperor Sword, but unfortunately Shang Yi had already determined his own path, which was not the Emperor's path.

"Well, maybe I'm not in good shape today. I'll try again tomorrow." Gao Lan had convinced himself. He stood up and walked down the jade steps.

When he was about to finish walking up the stairs, he suddenly squatted down, reached his hand into the sea of ​​fire, and grabbed two things, one was a long, thin strip, and the other was full of bumps. Both were iron-black in color, like things that had been wasted in smelting.

"Damn! I was surprised for nothing. I thought it was the Human Emperor Sword that was coming to surrender!" Gao Lan's disappointment was evident in his words.

Meng Qi was afraid that he would lose control and go crazy, affecting Shang Yi inside, so he quickly said:
"How bad can something that can appear on the Dragon Terrace be? Brother Gao, look at them, they are not melted in the sea of ​​fire, how can they be ordinary things?"

Gao Lan took a deep breath and said, "That makes sense. Since I discovered it by chance, it must be a cause and effect. Perhaps it contains clues to the Human Emperor Sword."

"It?" Meng Qi asked doubtfully.

Gao Lan pointed at the strip-shaped object: "It."

"I can't see any clues, so it's weird."

"This should be the leftover material from refining the Human Emperor Sword. It can be considered as your reward for lending me the 'True Emperor Seal'." Gao Lan threw the bumpy piece of iron to Meng Qi generously and magnanimously.

Meng Qi stretched out his hand to catch it, only to find it extremely heavy. This small piece of stuff was twice as heavy as the "Thunder Blade".

"The leftovers...are not bad!" Meng Qi was delighted by the unexpected fortune.

After putting away the iron lump, he saw Gao Lan was about to leave, so he asked in a low voice:

"Brother Gao, come again tomorrow?"

"Yeah!" Gao Lan held the "iron" bar and nodded heavily.

Shang Yi is still inside. Meng Qi is worried that Shang Yi will get the Human Emperor Sword and be targeted by Gao Lan, and the fight between the two will cause trouble, so he wants to lure Gao Lan away from here.

"Don't worry, the Human Emperor Sword is already in Gao Lan's hands. You don't have to worry about me. There are more important things!"

Shang Yi's voice reached Meng Qi's ears, startling him and he couldn't help but stare at the "iron" bar in Gao Lan's hand.

Gao Lan noticed Meng Qi's gaze and asked:
"What's the matter? Do you want to steal my iron bar?"

As he spoke, invisible pressure enveloped Meng Qi.

Meng Qi immediately laughed and said:

"Brother Gao, this iron bar looks like a sword to me. Do you think it could be the Human Emperor Sword?

Is it just that the divine object is hiding itself, and the spirit within it is still dormant? "

As soon as these words came out, Gao Lan's eyes suddenly brightened and he said:

"That makes sense. I will have a good discussion with him when I get back and try to get him to unleash his true power as soon as possible."

With Gao Lan there, getting out was just as smooth. The two of them quickly passed through the Ancient Road of Human Emperor and the front hall and left this secret place.

Shang Yi did not stop him. He himself had no idea about the Sword of the Human Emperor. What's more, he knew that Gao Lan would return to the Middle Ages in the future to save the descendants of the Human Emperor. With such a cause and effect, there was no problem for Gao Lan to take the Sword of the Human Emperor!
"Let's go and have a drink!" As the water light around him began to shine, Gao Lan's voice rang in Meng Qi's mind. Immediately, the world was spinning and he couldn't tell east from west.

When he regained his sense of the outside world, he found himself in an abandoned yard. The house had fallen into disrepair, and the beams and eaves were covered with spider webs. Because it was winter, there were no weeds to be seen.

As time was spent in Longtai, it was already night.

"What is this?" Meng Qi looked at Gao Lan beside him in confusion.

Gao Lan casually grabbed a few spider webs, walked up the steps, crossed his legs and leaned against the pillar next to him, and took out several jars of wine and beef and other things like magic: "I don't know where in Jiangdong it is, anyway, it's best to stay away from Longtai! I guess your young wife has spread the news, and that place has become the target of public criticism. I can't drink with peace of mind!"

Young wife...Meng Qi's eyes twitched. He sat down opposite Gao Lan, casually opened the mud seal, and smelled a strong aroma of wine.

Just the smell made Meng Qi's pores open up, making him feel both comfortable and intoxicated.

He knew that Gao Lan took the wine out of items such as mustard rings, but he did not doubt what he said before, that he went out in a hurry and did not bring anything valuable. With his crazy personality, he was really capable of bringing only wine and food without any secret treasures.

"The name of the wine is 'Zuixian'. There aren't many wines that can make me drunk." Gao Lan acted like a lonely master.

Let alone Gao Lan, at Meng Qi's level, even if he didn't rely on his true qi to get rid of the alcohol, his strong body alone made it difficult for him to get drunk. Hearing this, he laughed and said, "Haha, it's not the wine that makes you drunk, it's you who makes you drunk!"

"Well said, wine doesn't make you drunk, but people make themselves drunk! Cheers!" Gao Lan picked up the jar of wine in front of him and took a big gulp.

Meng Qi followed suit and saw that the wine was golden in color, like amber. He felt drunk before he even took a sip.

A line of clear and sweet taste slid across the throat and fell into the stomach. Then, as if a volcano erupted, the burning sensation burned to every part of Meng Qi's body, burning away the blood clots and hidden injuries, making people feel both intense and refreshing.

As the alcohol started to rise, Meng Qi's face quickly turned red, and he was already a little drunk: "Good wine!"

Gao Lan took a few gulps, chewed the beef, and said vaguely: "A few years ago, I suffered a lot of humiliation. It was only thanks to 'Zuixian' that I survived and waited until 'Tianming'."

“Brother Gao, cheers! I wish you can escape from the shallows and return to the sea!” Meng Qi picked up the jar of wine and said, “From now on, the world will only know the name of Gao Lan, and no one will know who the magician is anymore.”

Gao Lan laughed heartily, very satisfied with Meng Qi's blessing. He took a few more gulps, then smacked his lower lip and said, "If I had a choice, I would rather Han Guang be fine. If I have to die, I'd rather fight him first!"

"Little brother, isn't that strange? Han Guang and I have been friends for many years, but we have never fought each other!"

Meng Qi has always been interested in anecdotes about the martial arts world. Hearing this, he was surprised and said, "Brother Gao, you two have been famous for so many years, but you have never met each other?"

If I really have such a pair of peerless rivals, then no matter how many mountains and rivers separate us, I will go and meet them!
"I went south several times to look for him, but he was from the Nine Paths of Evil, and his whereabouts were elusive, so I never managed to run into him. Later, later..." Gao Lan suddenly became a little dazed. (End of this chapter)
