At this time, Xi He seemed to be very satisfied with Yun Chen's improvement in cultivation. After saying "not bad" several times, he changed his tone and said to him solemnly:
"The last whereabouts of that man appeared near Baizhen City in Liangzhou. I asked you to go and investigate not to kill this man or to spy on him, but to make it very easy for you to die."
Everyone nodded in understanding, and Xihe continued:
"Of course, it would be best if you can discover or detect that there are Gui Ling monks nearby, but if not, then Yun Chen, you can go to Baizhen City, where the Long family, one of the people in charge, is the one who connects our clan with One of the important merchants of mankind, a generation that has not been reborn, someone suddenly appeared in this frontier place in Liangzhou, I am worried that something will happen to the Long family."
At this point, Xi He stopped abruptly, but Yun Chen's originally lowered head was raised silently. Everyone understood that Xi He's words were supposed to be communicated to Yun Chen through spiritual consciousness, and they were probably some secrets.
After a few breaths, an indescribable smile flashed across Yun Chen's face, and then he knelt down and said firmly:
"Yes, Yun Xing will definitely live up to the high expectations of the first ancestor!"
"Haha, it's a good thing for young people to be ambitious, but don't show off when things happen. With my essence and blood, you can freely control the dragon scales. If you really encounter an unmatched danger, activate this treasure, and you will be destroyed within a hundred miles. You will be razed to the ground, and even if the Gui Ling monks come, there will only be death!"
Xi He's voice sounded a little arrogant, but these monks in the Concentration Realm nodded their heads together as a matter of course, as if in this world who Xi He said would die, he would definitely not see the sun tomorrow.
After saying that, Xihe took out a jade slip out of thin air with a backhand, put it gently on his forehead, and threw it directly to Yun Chen.
"Give him the jade slip, and he will naturally know how to entertain you. After all, if you ask a descendant of Cang Yuan to be a bodyguard, the fee cannot be too low, otherwise the price will be too low, haha!"
"Thank you Xi and sir!"
Yun Chen held the jade slip and bowed on one knee again. The smile on his face became more and more intense and ambiguous, which made others very puzzled.
"Oh, okay, I'm a little tired, let's go back."
The five-color robe shimmered brilliantly. Xi He was half-moving, driving people away with one hand, and his laziness became even stronger.
"Yes, junior, please take your leave."
When they were leaving, several people looked at the triumphant Yun Chen. If eyes could eat people, this kid would probably have been chewed to the bone.
"A bunch of idiots."
Making gestures with his mouth, Yun Chen glanced at him and blew a frivolous whistle, leaving them with only a tall and very flat back, one step ahead of everyone else, and left in a swaggering manner.
After everything seemed to have settled, only Xi He, known as the first ancestor, and the beautiful girl Ying Hong beside him were left in the empty hall.
"Sir, if nothing happens, I will take my leave first."
Yinghong gave a shallow salute, and her posture was indescribably dignified, which was quite inconsistent with her wild attire.
"I said Qianwu, that girl is a bit wild. How come your pretty sister is dressed so 'coolly'? Why don't you just dress up in long skirts and gowns? Or at the very least, get a monk's uniform?"
Xihe looked up and down at the beautiful Yinghong and teased.
"You're wrong. We monsters and humans are just like heaven and earth, mountains and seas. They call us barbarians and aliens, but in our eyes, aren't they also pests that defy nature? Why should we learn to dress up in such hypocritical ways? "
Yinghong retorted directly, saying that there was no one around, and she was actually less in awe of Xihe than the few young people just now.
"Sharp teeth and sharp mouth."
Even after teasing, he didn't get angry, and the lazy look on Xihe's face did not change, which showed that he also liked Yinghong quite a lot.
"Then I'm leaving, sir."
"Hey, wait, I have something else to tell you."
Xihe quickly stretched out his hand to stop Yinghong who was about to walk down the first staircase.
"Huh? Is something really wrong with you?"
"I'm talking about Yinghong, your ancestor Lianque is famous for being gentle and sweet. The person who pursued her back then was..."
When Yinghong heard this, she felt that this old boy actually wanted to mention her ancestor's romantic affair? Suddenly there was a black thread, and he quickly cut it off and said:
"What are your orders, Mr. Xi?"
"Ahem~"
After pretending to cough twice, Xihe immediately put away the casualness on his face and his voice became very solemn, which suddenly alerted the girl.
"Do you know who among the Four Phoenixes I am closest to?"
Yinghong's delicate eyebrows frowned suddenly when she heard this. She knew the answer well, but she didn't understand what Xihe meant by what he said. However, she still answered honestly between breaths:
"My ancestor, Lord Lianque."
"Yes, then I hope you will remember what I say next word for word."
"yes!"
Although Xihe did not exude the coercion of a superior or powerful person like just now, Yinghong knew very well that this young man who looked only in his twenties was the most powerful and powerful person in the ancestral court. One of those people.
"No, he should be the strongest. Master Wangshu may not be able to defeat him."
Yinghong thought to herself.
Seemingly feeling that the atmosphere was a bit oppressive, Xihe slowed down his speech:
"Yinghong, well, as the direct descendants of Lianque, do you know why we Jiulong Lao and Sifengyi can control the demon clan for thousands of years and remain immortal? Even the 'ancestor' in the word 'ancestral court' refers to Is it us?"
Hearing this, the red eyebrows raised slightly, and after thinking for a long time, he still shook his head.
Seeing this, Xihe stopped tapping his fingers on the stone surface and smiled lightly:
"Ha, since Lianque didn't tell you, it's not convenient for me to elaborate."
His words immediately made Yinghong feel like she was being scratched by thousands of cats. She was itching unbearably but she didn't dare to ask questions.
Because the existence of "Old Nine Dragons" and "Sifeng Yi" is too strange and powerful, they cannot ascend or leave the ancestral court, but it is said that they have lived from ancient times to the present.
Even Master Xihe, the leader of the Nine Dragons in front of him, is a direct descendant of the legendary great demon, Tianlong!
Ordinary demon clans may not be aware of their existence, but upper-level demon clans unanimously acknowledge that as long as these thirteen ancestors are still alive, the clan will never perish!
This is the best evidence from the fact that the human monks drove the demon tribes back to the ancestral court in the Shiwan Mountain, but still could not completely defeat them!
Of course, if Mr. Qingyun knew what she was thinking, he would definitely sneer at her, and these are just myths circulating within the demon clan.
But in the face of living myths, how many people can not be afraid?
"Okay, let's change the question. Do you know any seniors from our clan who have ascended to the upper world in recent years?"
"Tree Demon Mugong, I heard that he was a senior of our clan who was enlightened by an expert and cultivated quietly on the top of Yiren Mountain. He ascended to the upper world more than ten years ago."
"Yes, back then it was just a new sprout on a dead tree, but thousands of years have passed, and that touch of green has grown to towering heights."
Xihe's eyes revealed memories and relief, which made Yinghong believe in the "myth" in front of her. She even guessed that the strong man who enlightened Mu Gong might be the ancestor Xihe in front of her!
"Haha, don't look at me like that, it's not me who gives him guidance."
Xihe's eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, and he continued:
"The reason why Mu Gong can ascend, but the vast majority of human beings, no, it should be said that almost all human beings are currently unable to ascend, is because they practice the 'Tao of the Real World'."
"The way of this world?"
"Yes, the way of this world, to put it bluntly, is the song you have been singing since you were children."
"The spirit guides hundreds of veins and transforms into square elements. It concentrates on controlling the wind before returning to the spirit."
Yinghong blurted out.
"Refining the void and returning to life to seek immortality. There are so many Taoist methods that it is difficult to see the truth."
Xihe also followed closely behind.
"Well, I heard Patriarch Lianque mention this. She said that the so-called upper third level of our practice should actually be called the middle third level, and refining the void, rebirth, and immortality are the real upper levels. Level three!"
Yinghong said solemnly.
"Yes, the Shangshan Mausoleum that came to the thirty-three realms ten years ago was an immortal from the upper realm of refining the void."
"Na Xihe, sir, you are currently..."
Yinghong asked, hesitating to speak.
"Me? Haha, I...well, including them, they have indeed surpassed the limit of the Soul Returning Realm, but our existence is an anomaly. At least for now, we cannot break through. When you grow up, these secrets We will all know everything eventually.”
Xihe's eyes began to become deep and unpredictable. He seemed not to want to answer Yinghong's questions about his own realm, so he said instead:
"The so-called path of the present world after the ancient times began to be gradually suppressed due to changes in the laws of heaven and earth, so that now, humans have long lost contact with the upper world, and the Soul Returning Realm has become the final tomb of all monks."
"Then why..."
Yinghong was about to ask again, but she seemed to have grasped some important clues, which made Xihe appreciate her even more.
"Okay, it doesn't hurt to tell you this, because although we practice the Tao of this world, we also retain the ancient methods of the previous life. Do you know what that is?"
At this time, the divine light in Yinghong's eyes suddenly surged:
"It's Neidan!"
"Haha, it's interesting. The descendants of Lianque are indeed smart and powerful!"
Xihe laughed happily, which slightly eased the depressing atmosphere in the hall, but this conversation really shocked Yinghong.
After hundreds of years of practice, this was the first time she had heard of such a secret. Just thinking about it, she couldn't help but have another layer of doubt.
In this case, why didn't Xi and the adults, who had already exceeded the limit of the Soul-Returning Realm, and the other ancestors, not ascend to the upper realm as early as possible?
If the ancestors really couldn't break through as Xi and the adults said, then where did they get their almost endless longevity?
"Okay, these are just a drop in the ocean in the torrent of the apocalypse. Nowadays, the laws of heaven are becoming more and more suppressed. Although we still retain the ancient methods of practice, there are only a few compatriots who can ascend."
At this point, Yinghong's expression also flashed a hint of darkness, because Xihe was right, the ascendants before Mu Gong may date back thousands of years.
