Chapter 1 Falling on Tianyuan!

Falling on Tianyuan!

Sa Wuling looked around, seeing divine lights crisscrossing and evolving into endless lines that ran through everything. Where he stood was right in the center, the chessboard position, the Tianyuan point.

The lines around him, piercing through the void, carried the power of all visible space, tightly binding the entire chessboard.

Even he felt as if a mountain was pressing down on him, causing immense restraint.

A huge, ancient face blotted out the sky, looking down with cold eyes:

"Once you enter my game, your life and death are in my hands!"

This chessboard was his 'Shou Lu' (ordination), his lifeblood, and also his Dharma appearance.

It had no direct method of killing enemies, nor any defensive techniques, and was difficult to move, with great flaws.

Before the chessboard was set up, if someone noticed it, it would be difficult to forcibly restrain someone of the same level. Therefore, he had rarely confronted people head-on for more than a thousand years.

The restrictions were great, and combat was extremely difficult, but its binding power was rare in the world. Even a Yuan Shen (Primordial Spirit) of the same rank could not easily break free. Once they could not escape, they could only be slowly trapped to death within.

Everything that fell into the chessboard, unless it had power far exceeding the entire chessboard space, smashing it with one blow, otherwise, it would have to face the strangulation of countless chess pieces!

His unhurried conversation with Sa Wuling earlier was also to set up the chessboard.

Boom!

Chess pieces fell from the sky, pressing down with overwhelming force. The void thousands of feet below rippled, and everything tiny and insignificant in the void where the chess pieces fell let out hysterical wails, being frantically forced away!

Even Yan Xiake and Wang E, who had retreated far away, felt their minds stirring.

They retreated quickly, but it was too late, and they still had not been able to leave the chessboard!

Seeing this scene, they were highly vigilant.

Further away, like a dragon, the fist force in this chessboard was like a fish in water. At the same time as the chess piece pressed down, it had already struck horizontally again.

The destructive fist force was like a rolling celestial river, bursting out with unimaginable cold killing power.

Whirring~

The void surged with great waves, layer upon layer, high and激昂, like continuous avalanches occurring in the Arctic. Sa Wuling was in it, his clothes 'whirring'.

Facing the joint attack of two great experts of the Yuan Shen level, Sa Wuling's heart was as calm as water. After sixty years of experience, he no longer had the heart to retreat in fear.

Between his fluttering clothes, he suddenly laughed loudly:

"Falling on Tianyuan, if you really want to play chess, I'm afraid you're just a terrible player..."

Boom!

Between the激荡 of his voice, he could not move, but he suddenly stomped his feet, facing the chess piece that was suppressed like a mountain, and punched up!

Visibly, endless electric currents and lightning burst out of his pores, burning the heaven and earth void like streams of fire.

Sixty years ago, under the guidance of 'Grandpa Hand', he tempered his body, and in two years, he had reached the realm of slashing the White Tiger, with his Qi and blood perfectly integrated.

But the real change was after his Qi seed was condensed.

Truly integrating the body's aura and condensing the Qi seed, deeply controlling the tiny particles that made up the body, growing from the subtle, reflected externally, was an unimaginable huge improvement beyond ordinary people's imagination.

At this time, as he punched out horizontally, the countless tiny particles that made up his body seemed to have all turned into electric snakes and thunder dragons!

Under the vibration and operation of countless particles, this punch, which did not contain the slightest martial art, produced a terrifying power beyond anyone's imagination!

Boom!

It was as if thousands of thunderbolts exploded at the same time. Under the visible ripples that荡开 wildly, the void suddenly made sounds like broken copper mirrors.

The void, shattered!

Boom!

In the next instant, before the nothingness rising in the shattered void had time to spread, the attacks issued by the three people had already collided!

In an instant, the sky shook and the earth moved, and the sun and moon were without light.

An explosion that was so powerful that it could not be described suddenly burst out in the chessboard, in the sealed space, and the brilliance in an instant seemed to drown out everything.

So much so that even Sa Wuling, who had reached the peak of innate calculation and whose mental induction was exquisite, did not notice.

In that sealed space with deep death energy, the giant toad that lay across the earth, as big as the stars and moon, suddenly trembled for a moment.

A Yuan Shen strike could strike horizontally for 30,000 miles, and the ripples of each other's collision spread to an unknown distance.

The sealed space was rooted in mountains and land, and the internal collision was so intense. The external reflection was certainly less than one ten-thousandth, but it was still discovered by those who were interested.

.......

Yingzhou, Dingliang Prefecture, in a wilderness.

Here, the forest was deep, the mountains were high and large, and extremely long. Hunters and herbalists from nearby prefectures often went up the mountain.

Especially after the implementation of the New Law, after the Qintianjian (Imperial Observatory) swept away the demons and ghosts entrenched here, there were even more people coming and going here.

Da da da~~~

Wei Shaoyou rode his horse, walking along the official road unhurriedly.

The promotion of the New Law was not just legislation, but also had great interference in the territory. This interference was from top to bottom, from official governance, criminal law, to water conservancy and even transportation everywhere.

Although this official road was not very smooth, and dust was splashed by riding a horse, it was much better than before.

Since deceiving his family, he had come here and had been wandering around in the vicinity for several months.

He cultivated at night, and during the day he wandered around in the vicinity, looking for it.

"Although this Frog's Paw Mountain is not a famous mountain, it is not difficult to find because it covers a very large area, spanning four large states...

But who would know that this is the paw of a real great demon ghost?"

Wei Shaoyou urged his horse forward, sighing in his heart.

It took him several months to walk all over the side of this 'Frog's Paw' Mountain near Yingzhou, which shows how huge it is.

And such a huge mountain, in the rumors he knew, was the foot of a great demon ghost...

Even though the name of Huangtian Shi Li (Ten Ferocious Ones of Huangtian) was big enough, he couldn't help but be shocked.

No wonder in the years of bright stars in later generations, the name of Huangtian Shi Li could also stop children from crying, making countless Faxiang (Dharma Idol), Chunyi (Purity), and even Tianming (Heavenly Mandate) giants feel jealous.

Such a terrifying existence, still immortal, who would not be afraid?

No wonder, even the strong Old Celestial Master could only seal it, but could not completely kill it.

Thinking about it, he felt a little fiery in his heart.

If he could really get the blood descendant of that Huangtian Shi Li, the benefits would be incalculable.

"Unfortunately, the legend is too vague. I only know that it is during this time, but this year or next year, or even three or five years later, I can't be sure at all..."

Wei Shaoyou sighed.

After all, legends are not historical records. Who can remember things tens of thousands of years ago, if they are not related to the Old Celestial Master?

Not to mention positioning the accurate time.

It was also thanks to this mountain being extremely famous, otherwise he would not even be able to find this mountain.

But that was all.

In the legend, the record of this matter is only a few words: 'Farmers in Frog's Paw Mountain obtained descendants of the toad, with many creations'.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, his heart moved and he stopped his horse.

Looking up, he heard bursts of subtle sounds coming from the official road, hundreds of feet away, vaguely visible a group of figures coming.

"Herbalists entering the mountain?"

Wei Shaoyou's heart moved, and he had already seen that the people coming were a group of herbalists carrying pockets.

Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, and relying on the water to eat the water, there were many herbs in this 'Frog's Paw' Mountain, including some rare herbs. Although there were occasional incidents of wild animals and miasma hurting people, it still could not stop the footsteps of people nearby.

It was already like this before, not to mention after the New Law was implemented.

After all, it was now late autumn. Before the hibernation of wild animals in the mountains, whether it was jackals, tigers, leopards, or venomous snakes and blind bears, they were all about to store 'food'.

People who were not truly greedy, or who had reasons to go, would not choose to enter the mountain at this time.

Getting closer.

It was a group of the most ordinary herbalists, coming dusty, old and young, the old ones were about fifty or sixty years old, and the young ones were only eleven or twelve.

Listening to their accent, they seemed to be farmers from nearby villages.

Seeing Wei Shaoyou, who was riding a tall horse and wearing luxurious clothes, they all subconsciously retreated.

Wei Shaoyou didn't pay attention at first, but after a quick glance, his heart moved.

The dozen or so people all had black mist covering their brows, as if a catastrophe was imminent. Only one middle-aged man who looked honest had a sign of recovery from adversity.

This was quite interesting...

He couldn't help but stop them from entering the mountain:

"Are you going into the mountain to collect herbs?"

"Ah?"

The group of herbalists themselves had some awe of 'nobles' like Wei Shaoyou, and didn't want to get too close. Hearing him speak, they were all stunned.

An older herbalist nodded and bowed: "What this young hero said is true, we are herbalists from a nearby village."

Wei Shaoyou dismounted, holding the reins, and said with a smile:

"My name is Wei Shaoyou, from Dingyang Prefecture. I came to 'Frog's Paw' Mountain this time because someone in my family is seriously ill and urgently needs a rare treasure medicine. However, I am unclear about the nearby terrain and have not done herbal medicine business. Since you are going to enter the mountain to collect herbs, I wonder if you can take me along?"

"This..."

Several herbalists looked at each other, all hesitating.

Being a herbalist was not easy, sometimes they had to climb cliffs and cliffs, and they were not at ease with their sons holding the end of a rope, and they had to let their fathers hold it.

Their group were all brothers of the same clan, the closest, so they came together, how could they want outsiders to join?

"I will cover all the herbs you collect in this mountain."

Wei Shaoyou was not surprised at all, and took out a gold ingot, throwing it up and down:

"This is five taels of gold. After the matter is completed, there will be another twenty taels. What do you think?"

Five taels of gold?

And twenty taels?

Everyone's heart was moved, and some of them even had their eyes shining, almost agreeing.

More than a dozen of them entered the mountain to collect herbs twenty times, and they might not be able to earn these gold, how could they not be moved?

"This young hero..."

The old herbalist at the head was also very moved, but he still gritted his teeth and refused: "Please find someone else..."

"Brother!"

Someone couldn't help but speak.

The old man just shook his head and arched his hands to say goodbye.

"Entering the mountain to collect herbs is for money. If you have money, why not earn it?"

Wei Shaoyou casually捏, the gold ingot was捏 into a gold bar, with a flick of his finger, it flew飘忽 to a few people:

"With my means, if I want to be detrimental to you, why would I deceive you into the mountain?"

Pa ta~

The gold bar just fell on the old man's arched hand.

Several people saw clearly that there were still deep fingerprint textures on the gold bar.

Suddenly, all of them changed color.

If this person was not a martial arts master, he was one of those Taoists in the legend.

"What the young hero said is true..."

The old man's face also changed, as if he had eaten a bitter gourd, and he could only nod in agreement.

Although the Qintianjian supervised the prefectures and the New Law was much stricter than before, killing people would definitely pay for their lives, but if their lives were paid for, what would be the use?

However, even so, the old man still handed the gold bar to a young herbalist behind him, asking him to return to the village.

First, to send the money back.

Secondly, if they all died in the mountains, this person would never escape.

"You don't have to look bitter, it may be a great thing for you that I follow you into the mountains..."

Wei Shaoyou casually threw the reins and glanced at everyone meaningfully.

Although his art of looking at Qi was not very good, it was naturally no problem to look at some ordinary people. Without external force, these people would definitely die in the mountains.

Adding himself to it, not to say much, at least gave them a chance to survive.

"Young hero, please..."

The old man smiled bitterly.

Afterwards, everyone began to enter the mountain unhurriedly. During the conversation along the way, Wei Shaoyou also learned a lot about everyone.

The old man's name was Li Ertu, and he was the most senior and prestigious among this group of people. Everyone was his descendant.

And the one he really paid attention to, the middle-aged man who looked honest, was named Li Wengang, and he was the old man's son.

"What a weirdo..."

Li Wengang muttered in his heart. For some reason, he felt a little uneasy, and inexplicably, he had some aversion to this young man.

Of course, Wei Shaoyou didn't know, and he might not care even if he knew.

After a group of people entered the mountain, they did not stop, and climbed over mountains and ridges along a small road. Although these herbalists did not have very clever means, they were very fast in this mountain forest.

When the sun was slanting westward, they had already crossed several mountain ridges.

"Stop!"

Suddenly, Wei Shaoyou shouted in a low voice.

Everyone stopped immediately.

Howl~~~

Wei Shaoyou listened carefully, only to hear the sound of wolf howling and beast roaring rising and falling, with undisguised fear.

It was as if they had encountered some natural enemy.

Immediately, everyone's complexion changed, and an ominous premonition flashed in Wei Shaoyou's heart.

"What happened in the mountains? All these beasts are frightened!"

All the herbalists were terrified.

Wei Shaoyou didn't have time to say much, when he heard a huge thunder sound suddenly coming from the mountains.

Immediately, visibly, an indescribable huge mushroom cloud suddenly exploded in the distant mountains.

Along with its explosion, there were countless herbs, vines, and millions or tens of millions of kilograms of mud, sand, and rocks!

Flying horizontally and scattering, like an avalanche!

Rumble!

The air flowed horizontally, the thunder exploded, the earth shook, and it was as if the sky was collapsing!
