Qin Keyuan's eyebrows moved slightly and he asked with a smile, "Why?"
Zhao Ning walked to the courtyard on the left and answered him casually, "It's bland and there's no trace at all." Even the decorations on the architrave shelves had tiny, invisible scratches.
Until we reach the end of the nine-curved inner corridor, the only area of the courtyard that can see the outside world is a dead, nameless tree growing, but the pale dead leaves on the tree are still hanging precariously on the branches.
Zhao Ning seemed to be unable to walk and stared blankly. At this moment, she felt like she was in the corridor of the House of Silent Spirits, looking at the pale ancient trees.
So, is this the reason why the palace makes me feel so familiar?
Qin Keyuan whispered, "It has not been eroded by time."
Zhao Ning was reminded, so she walked out of the nine-curved inner corridor, walked into the courtyard, stood under the nameless tree, looked at it quietly for a long time, and then stretched out her hand to touch it gently. The nameless tree was filled with pure white brilliance, because of such a touch. And it made waves.
The nameless tree swayed slightly, as if it was telling something. Zhao Ning stepped forward slowly, and the touch of his fingertips turned into the contact of his palms. The magic power was subconsciously transferred to the nameless tree. In an instant, the secret of the six spiritual sources of Taixu was revealed. The restorative power contained in it made the nameless tree seem to come to life.
Pure white brilliance flickers slightly, a bit of golden light lights up from the inside, and then disperses into countless golden threads and rushes towards every branch and leaf.
As if she had done something wrong, Zhao Ning suddenly stopped her hand, maintained the gesture of holding her hand back, took half a step back, and then retreated into Qin Keyuan's arms.
She rested her head on his shoulder and looked up at him. Seeing his gentle brows, she comforted him, "It's okay, you see."
Zhao Ning turned her eyes and saw that the nameless tree was brought to life by the magic power. The lush branches swayed and made a rustling sound, and the thin and transparent leaves traced a circle of golden whirling down.
For a moment, Zhao Ning seemed to see the mulberry trees with fluttering red leaves in the mangrove courtyard, and also seemed to see the mangroves in the time and space node ten thousand years ago, but the color was obviously very dull, and even the edges outlined by the golden light changed. Not half a point.
A leaf slid down from the side of Zhao Ning's unretracted hand, bringing with it the same coolness as Zhong Huan Yuan.
"Where on earth is this?" Zhao Ning murmured.
She looked at Qin Keyuan as if seeking answers, but he probably didn't know either and just shook his head.
Zhao Ning moved her feet, wrapped her arms around Qin Keyuan's waist for some reason, hugged him further, and buried her head under his neck.
He rested his chin on the top of Zhao Ning's hair, held it with one hand, and gently stroked Zhao Ning's hair with the other.
"Want to go back to Kyushu?"
I understand Zhao Ning's emotions too well, and I also understand her nostalgia for the peace and tranquility of the Mangrove Courtyard back then.
Zhao Ning didn't respond, just hugged him tighter.
He tightened his jaw, kissed her forehead gently, and then landed on her eyebrows, kissing away the tears that no longer existed, and then touched her lips, caressing her gently.
At this moment, there was a loud noise outside Zhonghuan Abyss, and the sound was transmitted into the hall without any hesitation.
"Is this the legendary ancestor's palace? Sure enough, it exists in the Forbidden Land of Extreme Demons."
"I can find the auras of Venerable Saifeng and Venerable Cave."
"No, Venerable, there must be something weird here. Venerable Sua Feng and Venerable Cave both disappeared without any sound. If it weren't for the news of the soul lamp coming from the sect, we wouldn't have noticed it at all."
"Exactly, you can't be tempted easily, otherwise you will be like Venerable Suofeng and Venerable Cave."
"..."
The sound of conversation made Zhao Ning pull away from her emotions. She turned her face away and stopped hugging him, "They are from Biyou Cave."
"Yes." Qin Keyuan responded, stood up straight, glanced in that direction, and saw the people outside through Zhong Huanyuan's heavy obstruction, "One Second Tribulation Yuan Shen, two Yuan Ying."
Zhao Ning also sensed it, and she said, "They dare not come in."
"You can't get in either." Qin Keyuan said, "That Zhaobi is the core of the entire Zhonghuan Abyss. If you break in wantonly, you will be strangled by the restriction."
"Back then, the Venerable Cave Heaven came with a group of people from the Biyou Cave Heaven. As soon as he collapsed through the gate, he was thrown away by a ray of light." Zhao Ning took a few steps forward and said in a calm tone, "Then Killed by me."
"Deserves to be killed." He judged coldly.
Zhao Ning paused, turned to look at Qin Keyuan, and noticed something strange from just two words.
"Master uncle followed me back then?"
Zhao Ning did not say why he killed Zhang Dongzhi, and Qin Keyuan never judged the word "should be killed" without questioning. If he didn't know, he would ask "why" and then stand next to Zhao Ning.
Qin Keyuan smiled and said, "Hide and avoid seeing, avoid meeting, why don't you let me follow you?"
Mentioning the ten years of hiding, Zhao Ning was a little embarrassed for a moment, and then she heard Qin Keyuan tease him, "You are so heartless."
Zhao Ning stopped in front of him, as if she wanted to argue about where she was "heartless". The words of accusation before in front of the screen seemed to be on her lips again, and Zhao Ning's expression darkened.
Qin Keyuan's smile faded, and he took a step forward, approaching Zhao Ning, and asked slightly worriedly, "Zhao Ning?"
Probably because he was afraid that Zhao Ning would fall into such hopeless emotions again.
He lowered his head and was about to comfort her, but suddenly, he received a quick peck on his lips. He paused for a moment, then revealed a rare sly smile in his eyes.
It was as if he was imitating his behavior in front of the screen wall, just leaving at the touch of a button.
Zhao Ning disappeared instantly.
——Skip the past, knowing it well and not mentioning it again.
Qin Keyuan was stunned and then smiled, knowing that Zhao Ning had not left Zhonghuan Yuan, he did not follow him immediately, but slowly walked towards Zhao Ning's position with his hands behind his back.
Zhao Ning stood in the main hall. The screen wall blocked the sight of each other inside and outside the hall. She walked to one side of the screen wall, and the people outside were still testing her.
"No, if we can't get the sacred object, the sect will definitely punish us."
The moment she appeared in the line of sight outside the hall, Zhao Ning's figure disappeared. She saw the tangled expressions of the three people outside, hesitating and wanting to enter but not daring to.
"So what about punishment? This is the forbidden area of the Patriarch. I heard that this Patriarch practices the Way of Nirvana. If we break in without permission, we will be wiped out instantly. Punishment is better than being wiped out directly."
"However, we finally cracked the weird formation of the six-piece round wheel outside. When we get here, the holy object is within reach. We are unwilling to give up like this."
The ones speaking were two Nascent Souls. The one in dark green robes in front of them was staring at the screen wall with his brows furrowed.
The threshold of the main hall was only a few feet wide, like a natural chasm lying in front of them.
At this time, Qin Keyuan walked to Zhao Ning, took a look at the situation outside, and then lowered his eyes at Zhao Ning, who was quite "watching the fun". Zhao Ning pointed at one of the Nascent Souls and said, " The one who is unwilling to give in.”
After a moment, "Unwilling" Yuanying glanced at his companion with disdain and walked to the side of Yuanshen, "Tian is willing to give it a try, and please protect me from His Holiness."
Yuan Shen paused, took a look, and raised his jaw in response.
Then he saw the "unwilling" Nascent Soul walking to the threshold aggressively, and then his momentum suddenly dropped. As if he had sensed the power of death on the screen wall, he trembled, and he raised his feet awkwardly and didn't know whether he should put them down. He turned his head slightly, only to see Yuanshen still looking up with his jaw raised, while his companion behind him looked at him coldly, as if to tell him not to step in, so he threw him in.
He was anxious, and he took action. He swallowed hard, with a death wish, crossed the threshold, and took another step. Hey, there was no attack.
He was overjoyed for a moment, but before the joy could appear on his face, a strong wind suddenly arose from the Zhonghuan Abyss, instantly sweeping him out like a dead leaf, along with the other two people outside, and even the soul could not do anything about it. Break free half a point.
Only a few screams were heard, and the sound was stretched very far away, until even the consciousness could not sense it.
They were thrown out of the mysterious and mysterious space until they were swept away by the strong wind to a place hundreds of miles away from the Extreme Demon Forbidden Land.
Zhao Ning's eyes curled up with a smile. Seeing that Qin Keyuan's hand that used magic had not been withdrawn, he raised his hand and waved, and the "door" to Zhong Huanyuan was closed, and the door to Zhong Huanyuan was closed silently.
"Uncle Master is so quiet, they must think that the Patriarch's palace has other formations besides the obliteration restriction." "It is feasible to retreat when faced with difficulties."
The two of them chatted and walked into the main hall, walking around every corner of the room in Zhonghuan Abyss. They found a dark place deep in the courtyard. The cold feeling penetrated into the body one by one, and they had to function. Mana, mobilize divine light to protect the whole body.
An ice door appeared in front of us. After pushing it open, it turned out to be a dungeon built of thousands of years of ice in the center of the earth. The cold air turned into white mist and floated in the dungeon, and a vague monument appeared in the center.
It was like a monument carved from ice, transparent and not contaminated with any impurities.
"Is this the land-suppressing monument they are looking for?"
Zhao Ning murmured, "It seems to be a spiritual treasure that reaches the sky for three tribulations."
There is no breath in the entire Zhonghuan Abyss, and there is no psychic breath in this Tongtian Lingbao.
"The stele of the ground, under the guard, and the creation of new caves and heavens, they all become domains and form their own rules."
Qin Keyuan sensed the Zhendi Monument and slowly stated its magic.
In fact, all caves and heavens are small secret realms opened by heavenly beings in this world. This secret realm is a blessed land for immortal spirits, which is far more than three times richer than the spiritual energy of the outside world.
Therefore, most of the sects named after Dongtian are located in this blessed land of immortals. A few will place the inner gate in the blessed land of Dongtian and the outer gate outside the blessed land.
But this does not mean that all the sects with caves are guarded by Tianzun. More, it can only mean that there are caves in these sects. They may be ancient abandoned caves they occupy, or they may really be opened by Tianzun.
However, having said that, this earth-suppressing monument seems to be more than just opening up a cave. The laws of ordinary caves already follow the laws of heaven, so this "self-contained law" seems strange and fantastic.
"Uncle Master, you still remember that the fragmentary memory of Zhang Dongzhi said that he was a member of Tianfu. If the earth-suppressing monument cannot be found, Tianfu will be destroyed." Zhao Ning looked at him.
But Qin Keyuan only responded and mentioned the chaos in Tianfu with a cold expression. Zhao Ning's eyes darkened. The chaos in Tianfu was classified as a disaster by those nine continents powerful men.
"Uncle Master knows?"
"I have never been in contact with Tianfu, but I heard that this place is extremely weird. It seems like a small world, but it cannot be fully integrated with the laws of Jiuzhou. It is said that during the chaos in Tianfu, dozens of spirits from the small world of Tianfu entered Jiuzhou. Time has killed half of the cultivators in Gengzhou."
Zhao Ning was shocked, even if this Gengzhou was the smallest territory among the eight continents, it was a territory of thousands of miles in radius. No matter how few cultivators there were, even half of them would number thousands or tens of thousands of people.
"How could you kill like this?!"
Qin Keyuan shook his head, "It has been a hundred thousand years, and there is still no definite answer. Later, Haokong Tianzun took action and wiped out several of the first souls, and threw the rest of the souls back to Tianfu."
"Nowadays, the Biyou Cave Sky is mostly controlled by the Tianfu. Could they want to make a comeback?" Zhao Ning paused for a moment, and suddenly remembered that the Biyou Cave Sky controlled the red robe of Zhuzhou, causing Kunxu Demonic Chaos.
She frowned slightly, "Uncle, this deep blue cave..."
However, the latter words were swallowed by Zhao Ning. It is unknown who controls the red-robed man in the Biyou Cave Sky.
Qin Keyuan understood Zhao Ning's unfinished words, "Back then, I secretly sneaked into the Biyou Cave. It was quite weird. From the sect master to the true disciples, I didn't even know the location of Kyushu."
Zhao Ning frowned, "But... back then..."
When Niu Xiu retrieved the information from Hongpao's memory, when Leng Shuanglong warned about the horror of Biyou Cave Sky, all the words were still in his ears.
Is the information known to be false, or is there someone hiding in the Biyou Cave, so deep that even Qin Keyuan cannot detect it.
After a while, Zhao Ning noticed that there was a fingertip swiping between her eyebrows. She raised her head slightly, so the solemn hand that smoothed her eyebrows smoothly brushed her cheek.
Qin Keyuan said, "The Kunxu incident has passed. The people behind the scenes need to be found. We need to find out the truth about what happened back then, but it is not now."
Zhao Ning looked at him doubtfully, Qin Keyuan smiled, "We Zhao Ning spent fifty years of reincarnation and life and death, survived three calamities in one night, traveled to Xianzhou for ten years, and encountered the decline of Tianzun again. Can we still adapt to this realm of cultivation? Can we still adapt to it? Stable? Are you tired of traveling around?"
Qin Keyuan said this, and Zhao Ning realized in a daze that it took him sixty years to complete what ordinary cultivators would take sixty thousand years to complete. Even if the realm is not yet weakened, the most urgent thing is to consolidate in seclusion. .
Zhao Ning looked up, trying to say that she didn't really care about the realm. It was just the words "Are you tired?" that made Zhao Ning's heart waver. She took a step forward and was held in Qin Keyuan's arms.
"Tired." Qin Keyuan said for her.
"Just rest here?" he asked Zhao Ning.
Zhao Ning was very happy about this place, not just because of the nameless tree in the courtyard, but Zhao Ning was still confused, "...This is the ancestor's palace. Is it too disrespectful to occupy this place?"
Qin Keyuan laughed and said, "The ancestor has passed away, but the palace is still there, but the breath has disappeared, so it is left to the younger generation. How can we talk about disrespect? Besides, the ancestor is still here, and the younger generation is not allowed to borrow the land to practice or..."
