Jing Tian didn't need to know.
Now there is something more important to do.
He has already sensed his missing other half through the pendant.
It connected him with the owner of another pendant, bringing them together in a complete relationship.
"It's dawn."
When he said 'It's time', his figure had already crossed the distance of ten thousand feet and appeared out of thin air in the center of the pawn shop.
In the light, Xue Jian stepped through the gate.
A feeling arose in Jing Tian's heart: she was the right person.
This is neither some kind of enchantment, nor is it the red thread of fate forcibly pulled by the God of Love.
None of these worked for him.
This is a kind of compatibility that transcends the level of the soul and is close to the level of the true spirit; it is the instinct of the weak to yearn for strength and the incomplete to yearn for perfection.
He will possess omnipotent power once he is in harmony with his mind and body.
His exceptionally high level of inspiration and perfect alignment with the Dao allowed Jing Tian to surpass all previous owners of the [Human-Faced Pendant], accurately recognizing this perfect harmony and power.
For other owners, this power can only be translated into a kind of fate, a hope in Extremis, and a blessing of being together forever.
For Jing Tian, this would allow him to directly obtain power beyond the Dao.
'That's amazing.'
Jing Tian sighed.
As Li Xiaoyao exists, the world of Legend of Sword: One, which is more like a TV series, naturally doesn't have the role of Tang Yu Xiaobao, who was originally an added character. Anu, Yue Ru, Jiang Wan'er, and Ling'er are all his wings, and he also obtained the [Human-Faced Pendant].
But just like Jing Tian now, who cannot create or destroy the world with a single thought, he has no memory of the senses he had when his other self possessed the pendant.
This is precisely what Basil, in his myriad forms, seeks – novelty.
But
Damn, it's the power of love again.
The Mana of love in the world of the Lotus Lantern —only by indulging oneself can one truly love [Profound Heart Marvelous Art].
For some reason, the wrinkles on Old Dumbledore's face when he said "love is the greatest magic" reappeared in Jing Tian's mind.
Xue Jian was unaware that Mind Stone Jing Tian was looking at her, he was thinking of an old man from Nantong. At that moment, she had only one thought, "I feel like I've seen this brother somewhere before."
To onlookers, the two appeared oblivious to their surroundings, exchanging loving glances.
Zhao Wenchang's fawning expression was almost tangible. Jing Tian being a sword immortal only made him fearful, but the relationship between Jing Tian and Xue Jian made him want to kneel down and wipe Jing Tian's shoes.
He sensibly used his eyes to stop the others, giving the two of them some space.
It took Xue Jian about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea to come back to her senses. Her face seemed to be flushed. "Where's the teapot? I came here for it. Is it fixed yet?"
"If you really came for the teapot, you wouldn't have emphasized that, would you?" Jing Tian teased, as he magically produced the repaired teapot from his hand.
This is not difficult. Li Lin did not possess Jing Tian's body, but truly lived through every stage of this soul's life, starting from Fei Peng.
From the moment Fei Peng was still a wisp of spiritual energy, it was already Li Lin.
Combined with Jing Tian's skills, and possessing the unfathomable [Nuwa Spiritual Power], which is even more refined than that of Descendant of Nuwa, in this worldview where all things can become sentient through spiritual power, the teapot came to life with just a thought, and after repairing itself, it returned to silence.
"I did it all for the teapot." Xue Jian lowered her head, but couldn't see her toes.
However, she saw something else.
Hanging from Jing Tian's waist, it fits perfectly with the pendant on her waist, the pendant her grandfather said belonged to her destined other half.
Right now, both it and her pendant are glowing and moving closer to each other.
But it seems that some force is stopping them.
Where did you get this pendant?
"The shooting star last night," Jing Tian said, glancing at the distance.
He sensed an obscure power, which, according to Fei Peng's memories, originated from the [Mist Soul].
The Shennong's Nine Springs are the hub of the spiritual veins of heaven and earth. They were born with Shennong and were later dredged by Shennong's hard work over millions of years, gradually becoming the most important source of life in the world.
Each of the nine springs possesses unique abilities and takes on different forms, accompanied by corresponding guardians and protectors.
[Mist Soul] is one of them.
Its power can manipulate the flow of time, slowing it down or even stopping it, and it can also allow people to enter the [Sudden Cave] through the spring and travel back in time.
The [Mist Soul] is located in the heart of the Monster Realm.
The only god in the world who can control it without the [Mist Soul] is Nuwa.
The technique of "Returning to the Dreamland".
Li Xiaoyao?
Jing Tian is uncertain.
Although Mount Shu was formed by a change in the earth's energy in the divine realm, causing a divine tree to grow to ten thousand feet tall with roots like clouds hanging from the sky, penetrating deep into the Heart of Pangu, the Heart of Pangu gathered the surrounding soil and rocks, gradually expanding to form a suspended mountain.
However, the Shu Mountain Immortal Sword Sect was formed after Emperor Wu of Liang, a Buddhist, attacked the Shushan Alliance. Many sects that cultivated by refining elixirs and consuming qi in secluded valleys were almost wiped out due to their weak combat power. The Immortal Sword Sect, due to its powerful magic, made great contributions in this battle and thus united with the remaining sects.
When its first leader was guided to immortality by the Heavenly Emperor, and the divine realm helped transform Emperor Liang Wu's Buddhist pagoda into Demon Locking Tower, Fei Peng had already been banished into reincarnation.
Fei Peng did not recognize this spiritual power.
When Jing Tian met the disciples of the Shu Mountain Immortal Sword Sect in Yuzhou, he had not yet awakened his innate wisdom and was just a mortal. At most, he only knew that the disciples of the Shu Mountain Immortal Sword Sect all carried the [Demon Subjugation Scroll].
Most importantly, the power of the [Mist Soul] formed a mist around him, making the basic characteristics of his spiritual power less visible.
Jing Tian casually replied to Xue Jian, locking onto the figure under the black robe.
Xue Jian had already lost to Jing Tian. Jing Tian could easily pick up the [Human-Faced Pendant] on her body, as well as the [essence] of Fuxi that she had stained with as Divine Tree Fruit.
Once Li Xiaoyao senses something is wrong and disappears, he will only reappear three hundred days later on the so-called doomsday.
Driven by a strong will, Jing Tian's Spiritual Wisdom instantly deduced a spell.
The wind and clouds in the sky began to interact.
A celestial embryo took shape in an instant, growing taller as it faced the wind, wrapped in clouds as clothing, and transforming the wind into a sword.
They blocked the way for the man in black robes.
"Li Xiaoyao?"
"Gods? Monsters?" the man in black robes asked in surprise.
The man before me was dressed in fine clothes and wielded an exquisitely luxurious sword. He exuded an ethereal aura, but the way he appeared was more like that of a spirit or monster.
"Very good."
The black-robed man had only one word left in his mind. "Good." Then everything went black.
The celestial embryo transformed back into the Feng Yun 2, which then took over its body.
He felt the power flowing from his mind to his limbs and bones, as well as the memories in the mind of the body he occupied.
"This is truly extreme power. This body seems to exist solely for the sword. If one were not a descendant of a god, there would be no possibility of becoming an immortal."
"But."
Jing Tian couldn't help but feel sad for Li Xiaoyao's fate.
Perhaps it's because Li Xiaoyao in some other world is Li Lin.
All of Li Xiaoyao's romantic relationships were severed.
Ling'er was reborn as a man and named Zhao Yun.
Similarly, Anu's name is Atie.
Jiang Wan'er became Jiang Chen.
Lin Yue Ru became Lin Hao.
But it's not all bad.
At least after the battle with Baiyue, Zhao Yun and Lin Hao were still alive. A Tie didn't become a pair of lovebirds. The only sacrifice was Li Xiaoyao's good fortune with women.
"But the power of this body."
The fact that the brotherhood was based solely on brotherhood, without love, and that the talent alone was enough to defeat Baiyue was so impressive that even Jing Tian was momentarily surprised.
"This means I can." Jing Tian looked up at the Cloud Top.
The bottom of the Demon Locking Tower.
Surrounded by a vast pool of blood, there are two giant stone sword sculptures in the east and west directions, each wrapped with two large iron chains. In the south, a skeleton can be vaguely seen, with a sword stuck in it.
A graceful, ethereal white figure appeared out of nowhere before the skeleton.
If the Shu Mountain Five Elders in the Wuji Pavilion knew, they would be surprised. They were replacing the Five Spirit Pearls with their own bodies and were as one with Demon Locking Tower. Even the Evil Sword Immortal, who had transformed and broken through the top of the Demon Locking Tower and possessed their memories, could not hide from them and enter the tower.
However, this person did it.
The man looked down at the skeleton.
"Three hundred years ago, a powerful demon caused chaos. Even with the combined strength of thousands of disciples from Mount Shu, they were unable to subdue it. In the end, they had no choice but to devise a plan to lure it into the Demon Locking Tower."
"But the spiritual power of a monster that has not been subdued will not disappear within the tower."
"Its powerful spiritual energy can even endanger the Demon Locking Tower itself."
"After careful consideration, the then-leader of the Shu Mountain Immortal Sword Sect decided to send his most beloved disciple into the tower with the Demon Suppressing Sword. With the power of the Demon Suppressing Sword, he killed the Heavenly Demon Emperor in the blood pool at the bottom of the tower. His most beloved disciple also rests in eternal sleep at the bottom of the tower."
"However, to everyone's surprise, that monster did not die. Don't I agree, Heavenly Demon Emperor?"
The skeleton did not react.
"I almost forgot, the Demon Suppression Technique was forged by the Heavenly Emperor using the soul of the [Zhaodan] Spring and the Meteorite Divine Iron. It transformed the [Zhaodan] Spring, one of the Shennong's Nine Springs, which could illuminate the Mind Stone and soul of anyone, into a power of punishment and killing for all sentient beings."
Choke--
The sword detached itself from the skeleton on its own, as if sensing its long-lost master, and circled around him like a puppy.
At the same time, a green light rose from the skeleton, transforming into a human form—a demon with a green body, horns on its head, and three eyes.
"You're not from the Shu Mountain Immortal Sword Sect?"
The Heavenly Demon Emperor did not act rashly. Over the past three hundred years, the water of the Demon Transformation Pool had absorbed eight or nine tenths of his power. The man in front of him, radiating the unique and chilling sword aura of the Shu Mountain Immortal Sword Sect, was ten times more powerful than that disciple from before.
"I came for the [Zhaodan] sword," Jing Tian said, looking at the sword. "[Zhenyao] is the name given to it by the people of the Shu Mountain Immortal Sword Sect."
The Heavenly Demon Emperor said, "So you didn't come here to kill me?"
His eyes held a hint of suspicion.
"Lying? You humans are the best at lying! Demons are mindless; they only know how to repay kindness and avenge wrongs, unlike humans who only know how to use schemes and tricks, and who kill indiscriminately just out of jealousy!"
"Jealousy?" Jing Tian asked, puzzled.
"You don't know? Then let me tell you!" The Heavenly Demon Emperor sneered. "Demons and humans are of the same kind, but demons possess powerful spiritual energy while humans do not. The difference between demons and humans is like that between a fine horse and a slow horse. The slow horse is jealous of the fine horse's ability to travel a thousand miles a day, so it sets up Demon Locking Tower- Locking Tower to imprison the fine horse, attempting to exterminate it, thinking that if there are no fine horses in the world, then the slow horse will no longer be appreciated!"
"You're absolutely right about one thing: demons are indeed devoid of wisdom," Jing Tian said.
"You—" The Heavenly Demon Emperor gritted his teeth, his expression saying, "If you don't explain yourself, I'll fight you to the death."
"The Demon Locking Tower was built by the gods and has nothing to do with humans," Jing Tian said. "The reason for this is that when the gods created the human and demon realms, humans were weak and demons were strong. To prevent humans and demons from killing each other, the Monster Realm was set up in the Li Shu Mountain."
"Using Mount Shu as the intersection of the two realms, the Shu Mountain Sect can possess superhuman strength to fight against those demons who dare to enter the human world without permission, but they cannot kill the demons, they can only throw them into the Demon Locking Tower, and the demons can return to Li Shu Mountain from the Demon Locking Tower."
"Furthermore, humans and demons are not the same kind of beings; they can only be said to be creations of the Three Sovereigns, just like the gods."
Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Demon Emperor shook his head frantically, "It's all lies! Although I've been confined to my crippled body for the past three hundred years, my spiritual consciousness has not been restricted. I have already explored the entire tower, where is this so-called entrance to the Monster Realm!"
"Is it possible that you were tricked by someone of your own kind?" Jing Tian waved his hand.
The Heavenly Demon Emperor felt an immense force enveloping him, and then his spiritual power, no longer suppressed by the water of the Demon Transformation Pool, rose, even able to ethereally pass through the tower covered with runes.
"The entrance to Li Shu Mountain is on the second level."
"Then why do we still need to go up? And why do we need to bring that guy's remains with us?"
"There's another demon waiting for him on the seventh floor."
On the seventh floor, at the end of the north passage, a woman dressed entirely in ice blue stood frozen in place, motionless.
"It's her?"
"You know him?"
"I don't recognize her." The Heavenly Demon Emperor shook his head, looking at the female demon, who was clearly still alive. "Why aren't you moving?"
"I made an appointment with someone. He told me to wait for him here. He'll take me out, so I can't move!" the succubus replied, but still didn't move.
"But it has been three hundred years. I have come here to fulfill his promise," Jing Tian said.
"Why doesn't he come?" The succubus finally moved.
But they seemed not to notice the human skeleton floating in mid-air, just like the Heavenly Demon Emperor.
"Don't you know that a person's lifespan is only a hundred years?" Jing Tian asked.
"He's no ordinary person! Back then, the Blood Pool was swollen, and we couldn't go down here. I opened the secret door and let him down. He said he would come back!" the succubus exclaimed excitedly.
"Because he's dead," the Heavenly Demon Emperor pointed directly at the skeleton, "That's him! Heh heh, I never thought that kid would fall in love with a demon. I really hope that brat Xu Jing knows that he was his favorite disciple!"
"I wanted to pretend I didn't see it. He really is dead. He didn't lie to me. My waiting for him wasn't in vain." The Ice Crystal Woman turned into a wisp of smoke and entered the skeleton, completely merging with it.
"Shouldn't we head to Li Shu Mountain?" The Heavenly Demon Emperor was now mostly convinced of the existence of Li Shu Mountain.
"You bastard, do you have any feelings at all! Don't you even ask if I'm still alive!" The skeleton roared, its icy blue Soul Fire igniting.
"I am the Heavenly Demon Emperor, I don't need to ask." The Heavenly Demon Emperor turned his head away. "And 'we' also includes you. This kid is going to take us away from the Demon Locking Tower."
"To be precise, it doesn't count as leaving." White smoke enveloped the bodies of the Heavenly Demon Emperor and the Skeleton Woman, and they sank rapidly under Jing Tian's guidance.
"Arrive."
The three of them arrived at the corner of the south passage on the second floor.
"Where have we arrived! This is clearly a dead end!" The Heavenly Demon Emperor shook his head.
"No, Li Shu Mountain is right here." Jing Tian drew his sword.
