The peaks are steep and graceful, the clouds are misty, and the green peaks are faintly exposed, as if there is a hazy veil covering them, making them look more and more mysterious. Compared with all the turmoil in the outside world, Longyuan Mountain is particularly peaceful.
"Roar!"
An earth-shattering roar of a tiger broke the original calm. Countless birds were frightened and hovered in the air. A brown shadow in the mountains was flying at a speed that even the light wind could not catch up with.
Accompanied by a rough and powerful voice, floating in the mountains and forests, "Look at what good things I have brought back!"
Soon there was another angry voice, "Siberian Tiger, did you forget to turn off the fire when you went out? The stove almost burned the entire wooden house!"
"If we hadn't discovered it in time, the monkey's medicine garden would have been burned to the ground without any hair left."
The ones who spoke turned out to be a jackal and a fox. They stood upright, ignoring the furry animal faces, and their demeanor was almost the same as that of humans.
The Siberian tiger scratched his head, "I was in a hurry to go out and forgot about it for a while."
"Stop talking about this, look what I brought back!"
After saying that, it took out the golden meteorite, and the monsters' attention was instantly attracted to the meteorite.
The golden stone exuded an inexplicable aura, and had strange lines and graphics on its surface. A light golden mist gathered around it, and all the monsters were stunned for a moment.
"This stone is so strange. There are energy fluctuations on it."
"I have never felt such fluctuations before. It feels like spiritual power, but it doesn't look like it when you look closely."
"Why does it have a golden appearance? It looks pretty good."
The monsters were talking about it, looking at the golden stone curiously, and even felt an inexplicable wave of power from it, but this power was beyond their knowledge.
All the monsters studied for a long time, but they couldn't come up with a solution. Even the most knowledgeable old turtle among the monsters was invited to come out.
Old Turtle took a magnifying glass and looked around carefully, then tapped it carefully, and pondered for a moment before saying, "The graphics and symbols on it should be some kind of text."
The other monsters were astonished, "These crooked symbols that look like ghostly symbols are actually words!"
"It's uglier than a weasel's handwriting!"
When Weasel heard this, he puffed his beard and glared angrily, "Nonsense, my handwriting is much better. Last time, Master praised me for my progress."
There are many ancient books in Zuo Ci's tomb, plus they were brought back from the British Museum before. Normally, the original bones teach the monsters, and the monsters also know a lot of words.
Especially for a scholar like Lao Gui, his knowledge is the most outstanding among all the monsters, and even Ye Qin is full of praise for it.
But now I don't even recognize the words on it, and there is no font in the ancient books that can match it. For a while, all the monsters felt a little incredible, and they were even more curious about this meteorite.
The monkey was eager to give it a try, "Why don't you let me dissect it and see what its ingredients are."
The other monsters couldn't help but roll their eyes after hearing this.
"This is a stone, not the blond and blue-eyed human beings you dissected before. Can you restrain yourself next time? It's bloody and dirty. Be careful when Master comes out to deal with you!"
The monkey showed an aggrieved look, "It wasn't that group of people who provoked them first, and I had warned them in advance. Besides, those people were not good people. Killing them would be justice for heaven. I don't think Master will blame me." .”
The Siberian tiger touched his chin, "This really inspired me. Why don't we split this stone and take a look."
Other monsters also think this method is feasible.
I saw the Siberian tiger's eyes shining brightly, and the bright yellow spiritual power was released from its body, striking the meteorite with lightning speed.
"Buzz——"
Originally thought it was a very easy thing, but after a muffled sound, the monsters' eyes widened as they looked at the intact golden meteorite.
The jackal's eyes almost fell out, "No way, Brother Tiger, have you not eaten? You can't even split a stone."
Hearing a monster questioning his ability, the Siberian tiger couldn't stand it. He bared his teeth and said, "You haven't eaten yet, but this meteorite is indeed a bit weird, but I underestimated it."
"Everyone give way."
The Siberian tiger's sight fell on the meteorite. This time it can be said that it has exerted 10% of its power. The bright yellow spiritual power surged, and the strong wind blew up its hair. The powerful spiritual power even made it stand upright. The air is a little distorted.
The surrounding towering trees were swaying, their leaves rustling, and an invisible storm was brewing in the air.
Seeing such a large formation, the other monsters retreated to avoid being affected.
"Brother Tiger should be able to succeed this time."
"The Siberian tiger is one of the best among us, and it is not easy to capture a piece of broken rock."
"But then again, what exactly is inside this stone."
The monsters onlookers were eagerly waiting, and there was a vacuum area around the meteorite.
In a matter of seconds, the Siberian tiger's spiritual power swept over like an earth dragon. With a steady and heavy power, it completely swallowed up the golden meteorite in an instant.
Along with a loud noise, dust flew up, and even the ground shook, blurring the sight of all the monsters. Many monsters were even forced to take a few steps back by the airflow.
The Siberian tiger said proudly, "There should be no -"
Before he finished speaking, the dust gradually dispersed, and a faint golden light was released from it, revealing the complete golden meteorite. Not to mention stone fragments, not even a crack appeared on the smooth surface, as if it was silently mocking something. .
The Siberian tiger's words came to an abrupt end, and an unprecedented emotion called "embarrassment" appeared on the furry beast's face. The tiger's eyes widened, "Fuck, this broken stone is too strong."
Other monsters also found it incredible, "How could this happen?"
"This stone is almost as good as the old turtle's shell."
Even the Siberian tiger couldn't do anything to get this stone. Those who didn't know it thought it was some kind of magic weapon or something.
I don't know if it was because of the Siberian tiger's repeated tossing, but the light golden mist around the stone became thicker and thicker, spreading continuously, intertwined with the surrounding spiritual energy and influencing each other.
The monsters didn't notice anything unusual, but this special fluctuation was quickly caught by Ye Qin, who was in seclusion.
Although Ye Qin was in retreat, it didn't mean that he was unaware of anything going on outside.
Inside the dark and deep cave, you can't see the bottom at a glance. The spirit here is like the sea, almost forming a substance, like stars flowing in the night sky, the whole scene is like a dream.
And in the depths, there was a mysterious green light flickering.
That green shadow was like an ancient dragon circling, occupying a corner of the cave. Although it was not big, it put a lot of pressure on people.
I don't know when, Ye Qin slowly opened his eyes. The energy around him suddenly surged, almost reaching its peak. The light flashing in the beast's pupils made even the dark cave become brighter.
The green beast eyes are like green gems, naturally carved, but with the aura of overlooking all living beings.
As soon as he opened his eyes, the mountains and rivers were moving, and the clouds and mist were like a sea, all rushing towards him, as if the entire Longyuan Mountain came to life.
The spiritual energy gushes out like a spring, permeating the entire mountain, showing wonders everywhere. Under the sunlight, it even gathers into small water droplets, hanging down from the green leaves.
"Roar!"
Hearing the dragon's roar, the monsters who were still studying the golden meteorite all trembled and looked to the southeast with excitement and joy in their eyes.
"It's Master's breath!"
"Master is out of seclusion!"
"Great, Master is finally out of seclusion, I have to go and greet him."
At this moment, the monsters couldn't care less about the golden stones. Afterimages flashed in the air, and all disappeared in a flash, running towards the southeast.
Originally, the Siberian tiger also left, but then came back again, taking the golden stone with him, "Hey, wait for me!"
Monsters flying in the sky and running on the ground all gathered here, but in the blink of an eye, a group of monsters kneeled on the ground.
Although the number of monsters was large, they were orderly and the whole place was completely silent.
As the heavy pressure became more and more obvious, the hearts of all the monsters seemed to be pressed by huge rocks, almost making them unable to breathe. Some of them were not strong enough, and their whole bodies were shaking like a sieve.
Seeing the green shadow appear in the cave, all the monsters knelt down and kowtowed, saying with great respect: "Welcome Master to come out of seclusion."
"Get up."
As soon as Ye Qin finished speaking, green spiritual power came out with a wave, and it was like a pair of invisible hands in the air lifting all the monsters up.
All the leaked auras were restrained. It seemed that the huge pressure that the monsters felt just now was all an illusion. The monsters felt a little relieved.
When they went to see Ye Qin again, they couldn't feel anything at all. There was just an inexplicable aura that was faintly flowing out, like a gap in the abyss, making them dare not peep anymore.
Returning to nature and being able to store it freely, this is what is truly terrifying about Ye Qin.
He benefited a lot from this retreat, and his cultivation seemed to have not increased. Although he was still in the Yuanying Realm and the Yuanfei Small Realm, it was actually quite different. It was just that he had just left the retreat and did not have time to restrain himself. He accidentally When it poured out a little, it put a lot of pressure on the surrounding monsters.
"Did you practice well during my retreat?"
The monsters rushed to take credit, "Master, don't worry, we will remember the teachings and don't dare to relax in any way."
"That's not true. Nowadays, those things like "The Thousand-Character Classic" and "Tao Te Ching" can be said to be memorized backwards and forwards."
"Yes, after all, the claws of the animals that were used to copy the scriptures were almost broken."
Judging from the spiritual power coming from them, it has indeed increased a lot compared to before he retreated. Ye Qin nodded with satisfaction.
"Has anything unusual happened recently?"
Ye Qin's tone was straightforward, and he had obviously noticed it.
The Siberian tiger chuckled and quickly took out the golden meteorite, "Master is really wise, nothing can escape your eyes. I found this meteorite in another mountain range. At that time, there were still humans coming to fight for it. "
Siberian Tiger briefly told what happened in the Wushan Mountains, including their recent study of meteorites.
"Master, this meteorite is really weird."
Ye Qin nodded and looked at the golden meteorite in front of him, "You did a good job."
This meteorite is indeed not suitable for human hands. Even Ye Qin noticed that the aura of the meteorite was unusual.
He released a few rays of spiritual power and went in, like a mud cow entering the sea, but there was no reaction. It was really strange.
Although Ye Qin sensed fluctuations on the meteorite, the power coming from it did not belong to any system he knew.
"Why does it seem familiar..."
Looking at the lines on it, Ye Qin felt a sense of déjà vu, as if he had seen it somewhere before, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
Seeing that Ye Qin was fascinated, other monsters did not dare to disturb him.
"Where did you see it? It is indeed writing, but it is not a type of writing on earth."
Throughout history, Ye Qin had never seen such words. He couldn't help but murmured to himself: "Could it be from an extraterrestrial civilization——"
Ye Qin's calm eyes suddenly set off huge waves. He had also imagined about extraterrestrial civilizations, and even felt that there was a high probability that they would exist.
After all, the universe is so vast, how can it be that only the earth has life?
But when I saw the clues, I was still shocked.
Now Ye Qin is already a Nascent Soul monster, but he has never physically been to the universe, not even the earth, so he naturally feels far away from this extraterrestrial civilization.
"universe……"
"Fly out of the earth..."
Suddenly, Ye Qin's eyes froze, remembering the weird dream he had before.
At that time, he entered the time segment, met Wu Chengen, and had a dream in it.
In my dream, I traveled through the universe and met a strange female nun standing above the galaxy.
The female cultivator said that the earth is a barbaric land, and also said that there is a large sect called "Tianzong" that plans to build a signal tower in the barbaric land, that is, near the earth.
Ye Qin didn't take it seriously at first. After he woke up, he just laughed it off, thinking it was just a fragment of time. He even told Wu Chengen that he seemed to have written it into the story.
At that time, I just thought that dream was so weird and ridiculous.
However, now that he saw this golden meteorite, the picture in the dream became clearer and clearer, and a surprised light flashed across Ye Qin's pupils.
Looking at the golden stone carefully, the lines and symbols on it are exactly the same as the words I saw in the dream before!
"No wonder it seems familiar..."
Relying on the contents of the dream, Ye Qin compared them one by one and discovered that the symbols on the stone meant - signal tower!
Ye Qin Leng stayed where he was, "How is that possible?"
Seeing this, other monsters quickly asked: "Master, what happened?"
Ye Qin's green pupils stirred up some ripples. He looked at the golden meteorite in disbelief, his expression extremely complicated.
He never expected that this so-called extraterrestrial civilization would be related to a dream he had.
And this meteorite has proven with a high probability that my original dream may have been true...
Although this sounds unbelievable, Ye Qin has to think more.
Once the dialogue in the dream is real, it means that there are indeed other practitioners in the vast universe.
Perhaps the cultivation methods and methods are completely different from the cultivation system he created, or even polar opposites, but extraterrestrial civilizations pose a certain threat to the earth!
After all, according to the words of the female cultivator, this 'Tianzong' is going to 'demolish' the earth!
For a time, various doubts emerged in Ye Qin's heart.
Of course, everything is unknown, and there may be a turning point, or there may be some misunderstanding.
But no matter what, we must find a way to travel around the universe to see if there really is an extraterrestrial civilization.
It doesn't matter if it's false. If it's true, what will happen when signal towers are built near the earth?
I'm afraid the entire earth will undergo earth-shaking changes!
But these are just his guesses, and they may not all be true.
Moreover, with Ye Qin's current strength, it is still a bit difficult to travel around the universe physically.
It can't be done immediately, you need to calm down and think about a solution...
But now the top priority is that Ye Qin has another important thing to complete.
That is the "eternal covenant" with the ancients!
Ye Qin went into seclusion before for this agreement.
Such a long time has passed, and it's time for his old friend to come out and see the light of day again.
At the beginning, Ye Qin made a pact about longevity with the ancient sages. The purpose was to complete the longevity experiment and find a path to longevity.
But now, Ye Qin feels that maybe he can add another purpose——
Once extraterrestrial civilization really exists, then the resurrection of the ancients may also be a powerful boost and background for the earth's civilization!
No matter what, it is inevitable for the ancients to come to the world!
No delay!
Immediately, Ye Qin's eyes fell on the monsters, "Go and do something for me."
"Please give me your instructions, Master."
"Collect the spiritual soil near the spiritual veins for me."
Although the monsters didn't know what Ye Qin was going to do, they took action immediately, and collected a lot for Ye Qin in just a short time.
The most indispensable thing on the mountain is soil. Longyuan Mountain has been nourished by spiritual energy all year round, and under the influence of the formation, everything in the mountain has been transformed. Ordinary plants have grown here for many years and have long since transformed into spiritual plants.
Before Ye Qin retreated, he closed the mountain guarding formation in order to better cultivate the spiritual soil. Now it is time to accept the results.
The spiritual soil can breed weak spiritual energy. The monsters practice here, breathing in the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, and continuously feeding back, forming a virtuous cycle.
This land also produces spiritual veins. The closer you get to the center, the more extraordinary the surrounding plants become, including the soil here.
Ye Qin planned to use these spiritual soils to reshape the golden bodies of the ancients.
Their physical bodies have long since decayed, and Ye Qin naturally cannot conjure them out of thin air. Even if he has the power to reach heaven and earth, he cannot turn decay into magic.
Then I thought of a way to let their true spirits enter the clay sculptures and enjoy the incense and offerings from the world in the future. Maybe they can achieve another kind of immortality and reappear in the world!
Looking at the pile of soil in front of me, it looks no different from ordinary soil, but it contains spiritual energy that is unimaginable to humans.
The plants grown from this soil, if taken by humans for a long time, can strengthen the body and even transform the body.
Ye Qin's body exuded a faint light. He moved casually, and a small lump of mud floated in the air. There seemed to be a pair of invisible hands in the air, slowly shaping the mud.
His eyes were like a torch, and Ye Qin poured a lot of spiritual power into every step, and soon his limbs gradually took shape.
The energy all over Ye Qin's body surged, and the misty aura was revealed. It enveloped Longyuan Mountain, and the clouds and mist were like the sea, accompanied by a steady stream of spiritual energy. It was really magical to the extreme.
In ancient times, Nuwa created humans, but today, Ye Qin kneads clay to shape his body!
The whole process sounds simple, but in fact it is very difficult to operate. Ye Qin is extra careful, after all, he has never tried it before.
Thanks to Ye Qin's body as a real dragon now, and the existence of Zhong Ling Yuxiu in Longyuan Mountain, Ling Qi can be said to be inexhaustible, otherwise this clay sculpture would not be completed at all.
After all, these are not ordinary clay sculptures. Every step must be extremely precise. If you are not careful, it will affect the future and you will fall short.
These clay sculptures are equivalent to the original bodies of ancient people in the future, so Ye Qin must be careful to avoid any mistakes.
Ye Qin's eyes were deep and deep, implying infinite power, like the gods who created humans in myths and legends. The aura of wilderness hit his face, and the originally shapeless mud suddenly had arms and legs.
Soon a vivid little man appeared in front of him, and he injected a trace of the energy of heaven and earth into it. The little man's brows and eyes were very lively, as if he would come to life in the next second.
If you look closely, this little guy looks exactly like Long Ling, almost a miniature version of her.
Ye Qin's eyes once again saw Long Ling's unparalleled appearance, his eyes were filled with sadness and nostalgia.
"Maybe it won't be long before we can meet each other."
The sun sets, the moon rises, and the stars move. A ray of sunshine in the morning falls on Ye Qin and the Long Ling statue, coating them with a faint light, giving them an ethereal feeling of flying away.
In order to make the statue of Long Ling, Ye Qin spent a day and a night, but after practice made perfect, it became much faster, and soon there were statues of Qin Shihuang, Zuo Ci, Zhang Zeduan, Zhi Dun and many other ancients.
It took several days to complete all the statues of these people.
Looking at the lifelike statues around, it seems as if the ancients from thousands of years ago have been resurrected. Apart from their body size, they are almost indistinguishable from their original bodies.
The past flashed before Ye Qin's eyes, and he never imagined that he would reach this point now, be so powerful that he could even resurrect the ancients.
Perhaps as early as when he first stepped into the mottled years, the gears of fate had already begun to turn.
This day is destined to happen.
Ye Qin let out a long sigh and brought his thoughts back to reality.
In order to complete the production of these statues, even the body of a true dragon was a little overwhelmed. This process consumed a lot of spiritual energy like water, and he could feel the depletion in his body.
But fortunately, if the spiritual power is not there, it can be replenished. As long as the source is not damaged, it is not a big problem.
And from some aspects, these ancient people have regained their vitality and come across the years, which is considered an act of defiance. How can they do it without paying a price?
Ye Qin meditated on the spot for a long time, and then he barely replenished half of his spiritual energy, which was enough to support him to complete the remaining tasks.
"The next step is to invite the true spirit into the body!"
"Where is the Shangqing Temple?"
"Dong——"
As Ye Qin finished speaking, an ancient bell sounded from the void.
In the deep mountain forest, the giant trees that cover the sky intertwined into a green canopy. The hazy fog became thicker and thicker, and an ancient building could be seen looming, twinkling in the void.
Gradually, a red plaque solidified first, with the word "Shangqing" vaguely visible on it.
In just a moment, Shangqingguan slowly condensed and took shape in mid-air. It was located in the vast mountains and forests, exuding majesty and mystery.
Smoke curled up around the main hall, where many sages were enshrined. The one sitting in the center was Long Ling, followed by Qin Shihuang, Zuo Ci, Zhi Dun, Li Bai and so on.
These people's eyes were closed tightly, and their bodies exuded a white halo. Their aura of life was very strong, and they looked like the Nine Heavens God's Mansion. They were extremely mysterious.
After being nourished by the offerings of Shangqing Guan, their spiritual bodies are full, and they no longer need to fear the distance of time and space, and they can already come to the present world.
Ye Qin worked very hard for the eternal life agreement.
The established history cannot be changed, otherwise it will be contaminated with cause and effect, and a lot of trouble will be added. Even he will be involved in it, and if he is not careful, he will be catastrophic.
Therefore, we can only take away the spirit bodies of these people when they are about to die, so that it does not violate history.
But it cannot be brought directly into reality, because these are ordinary people, and without finding a suitable opportunity, bringing them into the world rashly is equivalent to making their souls fly away.
But now, with the worship of Shangqing Temple, their spiritual bodies are stable, they already have the qualifications to practice Taoism, and with spiritual earth as a medium, they can come to the world, receive incense and offerings, gather the will of all living beings, and continuously increase the power of their spiritual bodies. This is the beginning of a different kind of "immortality"!
Long Ling was the first to enter the Shangqing Temple. In addition, she and Ye Qin had a relationship with the original bones, so the spirit body was also the most powerful among them, and even the light around her body was much more dazzling than others.
She seemed to have noticed something, her closed eyes were showing a faint tendency to open, and her stunning face gradually took on an aura of agility.
Faint starlight converged around Long Ling, and finally more and more gathered, and the statue belonging to Long Ling also floated in the air. The two converged into a white thread, as if a river of stars was flowing, as if there was a mysterious Forces pull each other.
I don't know if it was Ye Qin's illusion, but Long Ling's long eyelashes trembled slightly like butterfly wings. The next second, her spirit body turned into a stream of light, flew out of Shangqing Temple, and entered the statue.
When Ye Qin went to look again, there was nothing in the Shangqing Temple where the dragon spirit was.
The half-human-tall statue landed lightly beside him.
A familiar breath slowly enveloped Ye Qin, and he seemed to have returned to the time when he was a little green snake, nestling next to the bones.
As time goes by, time changes.
Ye Qin's eyes flashed with nostalgia as he looked at the statue belonging to Long Ling.
If the statue was still a bit stiff before, it was a clay sculpture after all, but now with the true spirit injected into it, she is the incarnation of the dragon spirit, no longer an illusory existence, but truly visible and tangible.
After thousands of years, the dragon spirit finally came to the world again!
"First Emperor, come and have an appointment with Immortal!"
Soon the true spirit of Qin Shihuang was also injected into the statue. It was as if he could see the scene of the once emperor climbing Mount Tai to enshrine Zen. Even if he is now smaller in stature, he cannot stop the domineering power of the emperor.
Then Zuo Ci, Zhi Dun, Zhang Zeduan, and many other sages from the Eight Immortals flew out together. Several true spirits were like shooting stars. In an instant, the stars descended and gathered into a bright galaxy, surrounding Ye Qin.
The life breath and spiritual energy are surrounding the statues. Now that they have 'bodies', they still need to absorb enough human incense and business.
But Ye Qin has already completed the most difficult task ahead, and the rest is just a matter of time.
"boom!"
At the right time, with a muffled sound, Ye Qin looked up at the sky.
I don't know since when, dark clouds gathered from all directions. The originally green and beautiful mountain peaks were instantly covered by the black clouds, and their outlines became blurred.
The ancients 'smuggled' across time and space to the present world, and were finally noticed by God!
Suddenly, the mountain rain was about to come, and the air was filled with a chilling atmosphere. The sky seemed to be splashed with thick ink, which made people feel uneasy for some reason. Even the monsters in the mountains looked up at the sky, their beast eyes a little restless.
"What's going on? I feel a little panicked for no reason. Has something happened to Master?"
"Hey, it's so strange that there was thunder suddenly."
"It feels like this pressure is back to when we were overcoming the tribulation before."
"Is Master about to go through another tribulation?"
"impossible."
The monsters were talking a lot, wondering what was going on.
…
At the same time, at the foot of Longyuan Mountain, the official 'talking team' from Kyoto that had just arrived heard the deafening thunder before entering the village and could not help but look up into the depths of Longyuan Mountain.
"What's going on? The sky seems to be cracking..." (End of Chapter)
