Chapter 1237 Phantom Scroll
Qin Fan's words were brief, but they revealed a lot of information.
First of all, the full-scale outbreak of the Far East Demon Realm and the changes in Shushan are likely not just attacks launched by the demon clan. There may be support from a big world that has a very close relationship with the Mountain and Sea Realm.
After all, even if it is confirmed that there is a poisonous miasma in one of the Nine Springs in the Far East Demon Realm, it only serves as an exit for avoiding the world barrier and successfully entering the Mountain and Sea Realm. As for the entrance to the passage, it is one of the Nine Springs, which is obviously in enemy territory.
Shennong Jiuquan is a special product in the fateful story of the Legend of Sword and Fairy series. It can appear in the enemy world for no reason, which has also aroused some speculation among people.
One of the speculations is the incompleteness of the current mountain and sea world and the possibility of the existence of a fragmented world.
But no matter what, the tone set by Qin Fan has shown that the coming demon disaster is not the same as the demon disaster that broke out in the far west, which can be left to the Dao Realm to resist without any concern.
Since it involves a possible war between the two worlds, all representatives of various forces who come here to watch the ceremony must put aside their personal grudges, and all conflicts must be resolved after the external enemies are resolved.
This kind of overall view is exactly what the leaders of every top force now possess.
Because those who don’t have this would have died out long ago.
Not to mention, the person who revealed the information about Shennong Jiuquan and hinted at the key point of this battle was Qin Fan.
His coming forward now is a statement in itself.
At the same time, there is another statement that is slightly hidden but everyone knows it.
That is.
Give me a face!
This is also one of the reasons why the atmosphere of subtle confrontation at the scene was completely restrained after Qin Fan finished speaking and after a little contemplation and understanding of his intention.
Dugu Yuyun and Situ Zhong, who also had quick wits and roughly guessed the attitude represented by Qin Fan's words, but did not fully understand the current situation in the Mountain and Sea Realm, deeply realized Qin Fan's prestige from the perspective of half-bystanders.
"By the way, I'll make a deal with you guys here too."
Qin Fan's change of tone caused everyone to look at him in confusion.
Then they saw a wisp of demonic energy pop out from Qin Fan's hand. The black aura turned into a lotus and was directly imprinted on the chest of the headless corpse of Howling Wolf. Then they found that the pattern of the lotus seed on the chest became brighter and brighter, and Howling Wolf's flesh and blood began to dissolve rapidly.
Until only a bud is left, about to bloom.
In just a blink of an eye, the lotus blossomed, but the petals quickly withered, leaving only a pure white lotus seed.
"Only the Wilderness Class."
After Qin Fan took the fruit into his hand, he checked the information and found that the effect was quite good. This was also the first time he condensed a more comprehensive Heavenly Demon Fruit after completing his Heavenly Demon Divine Art. The requirements were no longer the same as before, requiring the opponent to survive in order to squeeze its value to the maximum.
Including when a strong man in the Tianyan realm dies and his Dharma image of the world collapses and is about to evolve into a small secret realm again, Qin Fan can also forcibly melt it into a fruit.
When it comes down to it, this method is not limited to living things.
Qin Fan has enough confidence to refine some small worlds of lower grades into fruits.
Then he looked around and said.
"You should have heard of the Heavenly Demon Fruit. A few people have taken it. The next two enemy corpses will be exchanged for a fruit of the corresponding level. And this is the effect."
Qin Fan looked at the members of various forces who had gathered in the square but were keeping a distance from their representatives.
"I need someone in the Celestial Realm to tell me what it feels like to take this fruit."
There are not many candidates to choose from. There is only Yu Huangtian from the Daxuan Dynasty, but he looked at the white lotus seeds but did not take the initiative to ask for it.
If we talk about the Buddha Land Alliance, it’s Yan Jing’an.
The other party is not like Qin Mengyao, who has reached some tacit understanding with the Ghost Market. As the former owner of Cihang Jingzhai, he can be regarded as an old-school member of this lineage. Now his attitude towards the Ghost Market is to keep a distance from it.
On the other hand, Huang Yaoshi, who met the requirements at the Northern Palace, did not rush in. However, judging from his appearance, he was observing to see if anyone would volunteer. If no one did, he would probably step forward.
Finally, there is the Shushan Sect in the Taoist Realm. The Four Saints Taiwu, Gangzhan, Qingshi and Lingyin all fit the bill.
But at this moment, Ling Yin was worried about the safety of her sister and Shushan, so she probably didn't hear what Qin Fan said.
Gang Zhan was like a reckless man. He wanted to go to Shushan for support, but he was fixed in place by Situ Zhong. Now he could only stare blankly, feeling angry and anxious.
As for Taiwu, his expression changed a little, but because of his calm attitude or other considerations, he did not step forward.
Then there's bluestone.
"Let me do it."
Qin Fan glanced at everyone present and saw that the time it took for their reactions to change was less than one-third of a second. Although Qingshi's answer could not be said to be a direct response to Qin Fan's request, it was obvious that he was not completely immersed in some concerns.
In other words, the direction considered is not comprehensive.
"Junior brother." Taiwu subconsciously grabbed Qingshi's arm. He knew that some things could not be said in public, so he could only convey his thoughts through voice transmission.
"You should have checked the information about the Heavenly Demon Fruit in the materials provided by Daoyu. It is indeed beneficial for improving your realm, but there may also be some hidden dangers. After all, medicine is three-point poison. If you stand up now, it may ruin your future!"
"Brother, do you still not understand the situation? What we should consider now is not the future, but the present! Shushan now needs the trust of the Palace Master and the support of the Ghost Lord! So we cannot miss any opportunity to express goodwill!"
After answering, Qingshi gently broke away from Taiwu, who was a little dazed, and strode towards the small circle of representatives of various forces.
In fact, their voice transmission was not concealed at all from the people whose combat power had reached the Tianyan realm.
This also made Qin Fan feel helpless after handing the Heavenly Demon Fruit to the other party.
"Don't act like you've taken some poison. If it weren't for this special situation, you would have no choice but to join the Ghost Market to get the Heavenly Demon Fruit."
Qingshi was slightly startled, perhaps he realized that his voice transmission did not avoid the other party. As a young man of seventeen or eighteen, he showed a trace of embarrassment and swallowed the Heavenly Demon Fruit in a hurry.
Then his aura exploded uncontrollably, including a surge in his soul power, and in a short moment he reached the peak of Pure Yang. He even broke through to a level infinitely close to the Sumeru realm that only a powerful Dharmakaya cultivator could control.
Then, as Qingshi subconsciously practiced the Shushan Mentality, the sword intent around him rose uncontrollably.
As he pointed a finger forward, his entire body faintly transformed into a heavenly sword. The sword force gathered into a magnificent colorful light, which slammed directly into the ice barrier set up by Xue Wuxia.
"This"
Qingshi, who was originally only in the middle stage of Celestial Realm, has reached the perfection of Celestial Realm in less than ten seconds after swallowing the Heavenly Demon Fruit.
But his improvement didn't stop there.
"It seems that there has been some improvement in the physique, although it cannot be considered a qualitative change." Wang Xianzhi frowned slightly, because in his eyes, geniuses of the level of the Seven Saints of Shushan already had superior physique and comprehension, and especially after receiving the foundation of the destiny body, they reached a peak.
But just one Heavenly Demon Fruit could slightly raise its peak level. It was a bit too exaggerated to rely on just the corpse of a howling wolf.
Then he looked at Qin Fan, with a hint of thought in his eyes.
Dugu Yuyun, who had been observing carefully, was even more shocked.
He knew how difficult it was to control the Heavenly Sword move. Even for those at the level of the Seven Saints, most of them would only begin to comprehend it in depth after reaching the Dharma Realm.
Of course, for those with extraordinary comprehension, such as Li Xiaoyao, who he had been looking for for seven days but still had no clue whereabouts, they might be able to achieve this step in the Celestial Realm, but for Qingshi.
It’s not that Qingshi is not excellent, it’s just that he is at most a genius that appears once in a century, and his comprehension is not specialized in swordsmanship. According to his previous understanding, Qingshi is obviously far inferior to Taiwu and Gangzhan in the comprehension of this style.
Even among the latter two, only the former had figured out some of the basics, but he did not directly and completely perform this sword move as he had just done.
Therefore, this fruit can further develop one’s understanding!
Then, after Qingshi's explanation, everyone present also confirmed how abnormal the effect of this fruit was.
The improvement of realm, the breakthrough of soul, and the mastery of the power of rules are nothing. It can actually further refine the bones and temporarily increase the comprehension by more than three times. This is a bit too exaggerated.
And later, according to Qin Fan’s explanation, higher-grade fruits will have stronger effects in terms of temporary enhancement of comprehension and accelerated refinement of bones.
This also made everyone more excited about the deal Qin Fan mentioned.
When all the representatives began to sign a temporary alliance contract, Qingshi returned to his team in a daze. His idea was very simple. When Daoyu suspected that Shushan had defected, he hoped to gain as much trust as possible with his performance.
After he took that firm step, he did think about the possible harm that the Heavenly Demon Fruit might bring to the future, but he did not think that was more important than the trust he could win at the moment.
But now it seems that he had accidentally picked up a big bargain.
After all, he had just heard that Lord Ghost Lord stated that the fruits to be traded must be of Hong grade at least, so he shouldn't use any small fruits of Huang grade to make a deal.
As for whether there will be Dharma Realm or seventh-order monsters in the future, everyone is very confident.
Because Kong Lin in the Dharma Realm is a good example. At the same time, the other party also acted as a demon traitor, pointing out the big demons in the Far East Demon Realm, including some powerful monsters that suddenly appeared in the chaos a while ago.
Even if the other party does not come out in full force this time, representatives of all forces can still earn an appearance fee.
Not to mention, if Shushan's betrayal is taken into account, the situation between the two sides will be that the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light, the scale of this war will be larger, and the gains will be even greater.
However, people below the Dharma Realm do not have this trading opportunity, so the fruit that Qingshi ate was the only one in the Celestial Realm.
Therefore, even though he was blind, he could still sense several pairs of eyes filled with envy and jealousy.
"Are you okay?" Taiwu looked at Qingshi with concern.
Qingshi shook his head.
"It's okay. I was overthinking it before. Or should I say, a blessing in disguise? That doesn't seem to be accurate."
"I'm glad you're okay." Taiwu, who was less than 20 years old, looked and had the temperament of a forty-year-old man. He first patted Qingshi's shoulder, then looked at the representatives of various forces in front of him who were still discussing after signing the oath with some worry.
Then he couldn't help but ask.
"Shushan. If someone really betrayed us."
"Brother, given the current situation, there must be a traitor. We can only hope that these traitors will not go to extremes. For example, Senior Sister Cao Gu, Junior Sister Ling Bo, and Junior Brother Yu Shu, their personalities make it impossible for them to go along with the evil.
It can be said that the timing chosen by the other party this time is just right.
Because Uncle Dugu and Brother You have the most stubborn personalities, and are even more determined to fight to the death, if the other party makes any move, I'm afraid you won't be able to hide it from your eyes.
As for the three who stayed behind, one was used to staying in the thatched cottage, and one stayed in the library every day. Junior Sister Lingbo, who liked to move around more, also became a little... because of the influence of her fate body."
Qingshi sighed deeply. The all-round improvement did not make him too surprised. Or rather, he was happy at the moment, but when he thought about the future, he couldn't help but feel more worried.
Just at this time, representatives of various forces had finished negotiations.
As the saying goes, speed is of the essence in war, especially with the blessing of Qin Fan's face and the temptation of the Heavenly Demon Fruit, the representatives of various forces had great subjective initiative, and within ten minutes of the outbreak of the Shushan incident, they had reached a consensus and collectively marched to the front line.
After all, they are all elites who came this time.
At the same time, the overall position of Shushan is uncertain, but those who came to watch the ceremony as representatives, whether based on the information of their fateful bodies or some of their recent character traits, have confirmed that they should not be insiders.
In other words, Shushan suddenly began to move at this critical period in order to get rid of these diehards who might not go the same way with them.
Therefore, these combat forces cannot be wasted and must be sent to the front line!
Then, Qin Fan, with the help of the comprehensiveness of his Dharma, began to mobilize the rules of space, simulating the methods of those in the Wendao system, and directly opened up a passage to the front line.
While they were waiting for the large army from the Dao Realm to arrive ahead of them, the sea of blood in front of them, which had been suppressed by the Tai Chi Bagua diagram set up by Xiaoyaozi, began to stir again!
boom--!
A ferocious man in black with a red eye on his forehead emerged from the sea of blood.
It hit the Tai Chi Bagua diagram with all its might, and with every impact, all kinds of strange monsters jumped out and attacked together!
"Notify Xiaoyaozi to release him first?" Many representatives of various forces suggested this after realizing that the Red Ghost King had reached the Dharma Realm.
"No need to notify." Qin Fan frowned slightly.
His spiritual power was the most powerful among those present, but even so he could not fully understand the situation in Shushan. The pervasive demonic energy mixed with monstrous blood energy completely hindered his investigation.
But some scenes have been seen by it.
That was an old man in Taoist robes who was fighting with Xiaoyaozi on the outskirts of Shushan. He suddenly took out a scroll.
Immediately afterwards, Xiaoyaozi was absorbed into it, and the old man followed closely behind. When the scroll was rolled up, the Tai Chi Bagua diagram shattered, and a sea of blood poured down. At the same time, Kong Lin, who had good eyesight, also saw the shadow of the scroll rushing towards the interior of Shushan.
"This is... a phantom scroll?!"
