"Brother Qingyun! You are finally here!"
Chongguan is indeed the local leader here, and he rushed over as soon as he received the news.
"Some things were delayed a few days ago, and it's a pity that I missed the opening ceremony."
"Haha, it doesn't matter. The opening ceremony of the Ascension to Heaven Meeting is actually just for the leaders to come on stage and give a speech or something, and go through the motions. There is nothing interesting to see. I have seen Miss Long!"
Long Fu Shi returned the favor with a smile. For some reason, Qingyun found that this time Chong Guan seemed to be much more enthusiastic when seeing Long Fu Shi.
Looking at Alian who was eating non-stop not far away, Qingyun simply started chatting with Chongguan.
From the conversation, he learned that since the Heaven Climbing Meeting was essentially an internal activity of Zhijing Dongtian, even if various sects were invited to watch the ceremony, at least it did not rise to a certain political level on the surface.
Most of the representatives are middle-aged and middle-aged leaders who are in the wind-controlling realm or even the spiritual-concentrating realm. Even if the spirit-returning realm arrives, they will not show up at the opening ceremony. This is somewhat similar to the trials of the thirty-three realms back then, so Only then can there be such vigorous vitality.
However, while chatting, Qingyun also learned some intriguing details from Chongguan's words.
For example, in the past few hundred years, the sect has actually been unwilling to open the Ascending Heaven Meeting to the outside world. It has only continued to hold it due to pressure from all parties, and the interval has also been gradually lengthened.
"This Ascending Heaven Meeting seems to have only consumed illusory credits, but it has allowed the sect to earn a lot of spiritual stones. Little did they know that during the event, sects of all sizes will also be looking for young alchemists who are good at cultivation and have good talents, including those who are sold Aren’t the spiritual materials and elixirs that I’ve taken away real gold and silver?”
"Oh? Is there anything else you can say?"
"Well, isn't the ultimate way out for an alchemist to become a respected offering from various sects? Who wouldn't want to find a home in advance? Furthermore, Zhijing Cave Heaven is just a small world after all, and many spiritual materials come from The elixirs were purchased from Jiuzhou, but the refined elixirs were returned to Jiuzhou, and in the end they spent their own money to refine other people’s medicines. Do you think the senior officials of the sect would be happy?"
"It seems that none of those powerful people want to have an extra chair on the negotiating table!"
Long Fu Shi said softly.
"Miss Long has great insights."
Chongguan spread his hands and smiled.
"It's all a whirlpool of interests!"
Qingyun was equally emotional.
Then he also learned from Chongguan that this ascension to the sky was not to say unprecedented, but at least it was unprecedented.
Jingci, Shenhua, Xianjian, Kuixing, including Yao Ershao and Hongchenke who have already lived and worked here, there are actually six representatives from the nine major sects!
The Zhengyi sect, which is known for its low profile, and the Qionghua sect, which values women, also sent people to send congratulations and gifts.
As for Qingxutian, who is the leader of the righteous path in the world, because the sect leader Yun Youya narrowly defeated Qin Chengtian, the leader of Jianqing Peak for the first time a few years ago, the internal strife has suddenly intensified. This time there is even more dispute over the selection of the representative. I heard that in the end we have to change the way. Come, the group is still on the way.
In response, the young master still sneered.
He had never been interested in the old man's sect, so he maliciously speculated that if he continued like this, he was afraid that within a thousand years, the Qingxutian building would collapse and fall apart. He hoped that Yun Youya could survive until the day he saw it with his own eyes.
"By the way, Mengxun, how has your junior nephew Lu Donglin been doing over the years?"
Talking about the participants of the four factions in the three days, the young man couldn't help but think of the few old acquaintances in Jingcitian.
Oh no, I should say they are old enemies.
During the Battle of the Thirty-Three Realms, this son coveted Fairy Yao's beauty, and then became angry with Qingyun, who was favored by him. Therefore, when the Jiuzhou monks were fighting against the Zhen clan, he led his men to secretly attack and kill him.
Thanks to the fact that the young man has the blood of Qilin and obtained the ancient sword technique Yi Qing taught him across time and space at the Spiritual Mirror Festival, he was eventually seriously injured and killed three people, but survived.
But although Lu Donglin was seriously injured, he seemed to have survived until the end of the war. The young man couldn't help but ask.
"Dong Lin? What's wrong?"
Yao Mengxun didn't have a bottomless stomach like A Lian. He was full after just visiting a few stalls. He could only look back sideways as his arm was pulled by the little fox.
"It's nothing, just ask."
"Oh, because he failed to lead the Thirty-Three Realms, he was punished when he returned to Queen Jingci to think about his mistakes."
"I see."
Qingyun nodded.
"The Lu family is a relatively well-known family in Yuzhou, and even if they have committed crimes, they are not worthy of death. I'm afraid it's time to end facing the wall long ago."
"That really gives him a leg up."
The young man pouted and complained, secretly saying that although the other party was bewitched by the Little Heavenly King Han Yu at the beginning, his mind was extremely vicious at such a young age, and he was afraid that he would do evil again in the future.
At that time, I didn't kill him in order not to affect the overall situation. Now, don't come here to join in the fun!
Chongguan didn't stay with them for long before he left first. It turned out that he had also rented a stall and was selling various low-level elixirs, so Qingyun naturally didn't force him to stay.
Seeing that Alian might not be able to move her feet for a while, Qingyun "took" Yao Mengxun from her hands, and the three of them walked slowly into the venue.
Not to mention, unlike the crowds on the outside, the closer you get to the inside, the emptier the place becomes, and there are less and less places to eat, drink and play, and more of it becomes a venue for various school examinations.
In front of each open field, there is a student from Xingzhi Palace or Shoujing Palace, who is responsible for project registration and competition records.
There are seats and stages set up in the venue, and a varying number of "industry experts" are concentrating on judging and scoring the exam candidates.
Coincidentally, the several venues where Qingyun and the others were walking were all filled with school exams related to formations.
"Oh, so many monks from the Pan family!"
The young master glanced around and saw that there were nearly fifty or sixty high-level monks sitting in the school grounds about seven or eight blocks away. The luxurious jade stones on their bodies made their identities obvious.
In the largest of the school grounds, sitting in the central stand was the head of the Pan family whom he had not seen for several months, Pan Yueren, a great master of the Returned Spirit Realm!
"Huh? His breath..."
It doesn't matter if you don't look at it. At a glance, Qingyun was shocked to find that the evil spirit and evil intention on Pan Yueren's body seemed to have disappeared!
The originally handsome appearance now looks even more ethereal, with that fairy-like indifference and faint smile, it is simply the textbook version of the image of a hermit banished to immortality!
Even though Qingyun quietly used the power of his true spirit and used his evil energy to activate the Luo Yun Sword for remote sensing, he was still unable to detect even the slightest bit of the power of immortal punishment on his opponent.
"It shouldn't be! Even if he completely seals Zang Feng, he still can't completely isolate the unique evil aura of Deathly Punishment? What's going on?"
I don't dare to vouch for whether others will find out, but when it comes to his familiarity with the immortal punishment, he is extremely confident as he has been possessed by the spirit of non-existence.
"Has he completely mastered the immortal punishment, or has he completely tamed Zang Feng?"
Just when Qingyun was puzzled, Pan Yueren in the distance quickly felt something. His deep eyes were as clear as the ancient well, and the refracted divine light hid the domineering and toughness behind Yan Yang.
His gaze penetrated the crowd like two sharp swords made of gravel, which immediately shocked the young master.
Fortunately, Pan Yueren seemed to be in a good mood at this time. He just smiled slightly in the direction of Qingyun, and immediately withdrew his gaze. The young master only felt that his breath was stagnant in his chest and abdomen, and the huge pressure of his spiritual consciousness dissipated in an instant.
Even at this time, the people around him didn't notice anything, which shows how subtle the power of the spirit can be controlled by the powerful master in the spirit-returning realm.
"Xiaoyun'er, what's wrong with you?"
Yao Mengxun's eyes seemed to be watching Qingyun all the time, and the trembling fear soon spread to the bottom of her heart.
"nothing…"
"Are you afraid? What are you afraid of?"
Qingyun was silent, but Long Fushi said in a concentrated voice:
"Pan Yueren."
Yes, Smart Like a Dragon and Wu Shi immediately identified the origins of the judges from the clothes on the school grounds.
"Huh? Have you seen him writing poems?"
Qingyun asked.
"No, I feel that the most powerful being in the distance is the legendary head of the Pan family."
"Yes, his aura has become stronger again, and it seems to have completely suppressed the strange power in Zangfeng. It's strange."
Qingyun gritted his teeth and said, the majestic power of spiritual consciousness caused a huge burden on his mind. At this time, Yao Mengxun suddenly asked:
"Which direction is he?"
"Three hundred feet directly in front and slightly to the left, the person with the strongest cultivation level."
Following Qingyun's guidance, Yao Mengxun's silver eyes were dim and uncertain, but when she really touched the dark brilliance with her heart's eye, her willow eyebrows, like the distant blue of a green mountain, suddenly wrinkled.
"What's wrong? What's the problem?"
Qingyun asked quickly.
"No...no..."
Yao Mengxun would never lie, especially to herself, but with her expression hidden under the gauze, Qingyun knew that she must have "seen" something without having to guess.
"Um."
Qingyun nodded lightly. Yao Mengxun naturally had his own reasons for choosing not to say anything. He was not in a hurry to continue asking, but Long Fushi asked uncharacteristically:
"Mengxun, didn't you say that people's hearts have colors? Then what did you just see?"
"The brilliance of the soul is enough to illuminate all the darkness in the world, so even if I am blind, I will never be afraid at all, but once I give in or compromise..."
Yao Mengxun did not finish his words, but slowly found Qingyun's hand and held it tightly. Long Fushi smiled lightly and also took Qingyun's other arm.
"Let's go, don't offend the powerful one."
Leaning his head on Qingyun's shoulder, Long Fu Shi also spoke softly.
"good."
She also did not continue to ask Yao Mengxun's revealing answer, but unlike Qingyun, Long Fushi's eyes that seemed to be able to penetrate all the fog in the world seemed to already have the answer.
On the way, Qingyun still couldn't help but look at Pan Yueren secretly. After getting closer, he found that there was no black streak at the corner of his eyes. He finally sighed secretly in his heart and stopped being persistent.
Although Xiao Qi once left a message, Immortal Punishment is some kind of power that transcends the law. Even the third-level immortals can only control it by the top experts.
But the facts are before us. Regardless of whether Pan Yueren has not continued to absorb the evil energy or has been eroded by the immortal punishment for tens of millions of years, his strength has long been no longer what it was then. His current state is obviously much better than a few months ago.
If you look at it this way, your plan to lure the other party into the abyss is probably going to fail.
Ding Ding~: The blood-stained generation bathes in the ancient spiritual energy and inherits the power of the ancient times, while the remnants of the old generation are trying their best to integrate into the modern world. Collisions in the long river of time are inevitable~
