Chapter 1629 - 192: Dispelling Evil

Chapter 1629: Chapter 192: Dispelling Evil

In the depths of Xuanwei Island, shrouded in thick mist, black threads floated in the air, forming a large black sun above.

Seen from afar.

The mist was like the willow shade of a giant tree spreading its branches and leaves, swaying in the wind, gathering but not dispersing.

Xie Xuanyi stood wielding his sword in mid-air, watching this scene, feeling a sense of déjà vu. This giant tree covered in dense mist seemed like the Immortal Tree in the Primordial Swallowing Sacred Realm, and also resembled the great tree that appeared with the black-clothed Sword Holder in the Ancient Tree Cave Heaven.

"Is this the Immortal Tree?"

Xie Xuanyi turned his head and asked the Wangyou Island couple beside him.

"It is not."

Lord Duan shook his head: "This is an illusion formed by condensed Primordial Energy, not real."

"An illusion..."

Xie Xuanyi felt a bit disappointed.

But upon reflection, it was reasonable.

The Immortal Tree is so rare.

How could there be so many in this world?

"Actually, a thousand years ago, there was no so-called Wangyou Island or Xuanwei Island."

Lady Duan spoke softly: "A thousand years ago, a Great Tribulation descended. Countless Holy Lands perished, and it is said that a world-shaking battle erupted between Heaven and Earth... In that battle, the land collapsed; a piece of land originally located in the North Sea was forced to detach and ended up in the sea, eventually collapsing further into dozens of uneven-sized ’reefs’."

Clearly.

This was the origin of the Overseas Immortal Islands.

Apart from Wangyou Island and Xuanwei Island, there are many other islands.

However, these islands are really too small, and after a thousand years, many small islands have been swallowed by the tides and sunk into the sea.

"Wangyou Island and Xuanwei Island were created by two Heavenly People."

Lady Duan continued: "These two islands were named after the titles of the two Heavenly People..."

Heavenly Human Wangyou, Heavenly Human Xuanwei.

They left behind two Immortal Islands and the corresponding inheritance.

During their conversation.

The three stepped into the Xuanwei Forbidden Area shrouded in dense mist—

Utter darkness everywhere.

As if shrouded by the Iron Curtain.

Xie Xuanyi released sword fire, illuminating an area ten zhang around him.

The formerly towering illusion of the ancient tree disappeared like a mirage upon entering the forbidden area, though this area was filled with densely growing, extremely tall, and strangely shaped trees...

"Indeed, there is a presence of corrupt origin."

Xie Xuanyi squinted his eyes.

He released sword fire, igniting the disfigured trees within the forbidden area one by one.

These plant spirits had become corrupted, changing in form... If left for a few years, they would develop Spirit Wisdom and turn into demons.

The sea of fire surged.

Shrieking sounds arose from among the trees, and some ancient trees even lifted their roots to escape.

"What the hell?"

Even Lord Duan hadn’t expected this scene.

"Go."

Xie Xuanyi said expressionlessly, summoning his Flying Sword.

The Life and Death Dao Domain enveloped the entire Xuanwei Forbidden Area, sword Qi swirling, flames sky-high.

Countless Black Evil surged.

In an instant.

The corrupt Qi boiled and evaporated like the sea.

"..."

Wangyou Island Master and Lady Duan exchanged glances, looking troubled.

It’s hard to imagine.

The nearby Xuanwei Island, after thousands of years, was actually in this state.

"Don’t fret, I’ve encountered similar scenes in the Ruins."

Xie Xuanyi said calmly: "A thousand years ago... these foul things existed in the world, though they were nearly exterminated."

Back then, those who acted included not only the Great Ape Mountain.

There were likely also Human Race Sacred Land.

And... the mysterious black-clothed Sword Holder.

"Could such things also be on Wangyou Island?"

Wangyou Island Master frowned, looking worried.

"I scanned with my Divine Thought earlier."

Xie Xuanyi shook his head: "This corrupt Qi is only in Xuanwei Island..."

He advanced forward.

Finally, at the end of the Xuanwei Island’s forbidden area, he saw a pitch-black cave mansion hidden within the mountain.

At this moment, a massive surge of Black Evil Qi was overflowing from within the cave mansion.

"If I’m guessing correctly."

"In the ancient battle to suppress evil spirits, both Wangyou and Xuanwei Heavenly People participated."

Xie Xuanyi said softly: "Wangyou Island and Xuanwei Island... are both the ’formation eyes’ for suppressing evil spirits."

Since the Shadow is pervasive...

Then, there can’t be only the Primordial Immortal Hall as a relic in this world.

Ruins, islands.

Are extremely remote places in this world.

Suppressing the Shadow here not only wears away its life but also prevents it from being inadvertently touched by future generations.

"Indeed, Wangyou Island... also has a Heavenly People’s mansion."

Wangyou Island Master said gravely: "But I have always followed ancestral teachings and never entered it."

"Indeed."

Xie Xuanyi said calmly: "Nalan Xuance violated ancestral teachings, entered the mansion without permission, and was seduced by evil spirits... personally opened Xuanwei Island’s seal."

This was likely the truth behind Xuanwei Island.

"Thankfully, Master Xie discovered it in time."

Lady Duan’s expression was solemn, as she looked at the cave mansion filled with Black Evil: "If it were left to grow, it might cause great havoc."

Just a few years?

Already there were Wood Demons awakening within Xuanwei Island.

In a few more years, these corrupt beings would likely aim their evil intentions towards Wangyou Island.

"Don’t worry."

Xie Xuanyi said sternly: "These corrupt things... though troublesome, there are ways to eradicate them."

Whether it’s the Nether Sea or Nalan Xuance.

The Shadows attached to them are not particularly strong.

Perhaps because of the Great Tribulation, it weakened the Shadow.

Or perhaps, the mysterious black-clothed Sword Holder killed the true strong ones among their kind.

In this world.

There’s currently no need to be overly fearful of the Shadow.

Once a trace is found, simply extinguish it directly.

After speaking.

Xie Xuanyi extended his hand to point.

The Life and Death Dao Domain instantly layered down.

Countless sword Qi surged into the cave mansion, the billowing Black Evil completely obliterated.

This eradication lasted several hundred breaths.

"Rumble rumble rumble."

The Undying Spring Water Vapor within Xie Xuanyi’s Dantian was consumed frantically, eventually eradicating all Black Evil, and the unease hanging over the hearts of the three Great Practitioners gradually dissipated.

"Is it over?"

Lord Duan’s expression fluctuated, hesitating to confirm.

"It’s all killed."

Xie Xuanyi nodded.

The corrupt origin in Xuanwei Island was far weaker compared to the one in the Ruins.

Moreover, it hadn’t had the chance to utilize the battlefield of the Li Kingdom to draw power from living beings and cultivate followers.

Facing Xie Xuanyi, who was now a Yang God Fifth Layer Heaven, it had no power to resist and was snuffed out right in the cradle.

If...

Nalan Xuance had taken it out when he left the island back then, the situation would have been different.

"Master Xie."

Lady Duan stared at the Evil Qi for a long time, seriously asking: "So these corrupt things... originate from another world?"

She practiced Divination Technique.

With considerable research into the River of Destiny and Daoist Techniques.

Qi Fortune, Cause and Effect, Fate.

These things, in her view, though mysterious, must be believed.

The corrupt spirits hidden within Xuanwei Island.

Completely contradicted the Heavenly Dao operational rules of this world.

In her mind.

There seemed to be only one explanation.

That is... outside this continent lies another continent.

...
