Among the secrets passed down from generation to generation by Murong Yun and others, a total of nine ancestors' inheritances were left in the forbidden area.
These ancestors were all masters in the mortal stage when they were alive. Before they died, they used secret techniques to keep their bodies immortal, and retained in their bodies everything they learned during their lifetime practice.
As long as the descendants have outstanding talents and similar bloodlines, they can practice beside these ancestors. If they can resonate with the path practiced by their ancestors and are finally recognized, they will receive direct initiation and truly receive a complete inheritance.
Over the years, the group of Murong people who migrated to southern Xinjiang has become increasingly withered, but there are always one or two arrogant people in each generation who can enter the forbidden areas to practice.
Unfortunately or fortunately, there is only one person who has succeeded until now.
Murong Yun should be their hope for the revival of the Murong family.
At least, this is the fact in Murong Yin's eyes.
So even if Murong Yun's idea was completely deviant in Murong Yin's eyes, he would not directly oppose it like before.
But what are the real facts?
The ancestors of the Murong family who were in the mortal stage were not completely dead. Their physical blood was indeed completely exhausted, but they used secret methods to preserve their souls and fell into a state of annihilation.
If it hadn't been for the turmoil that happened in the forbidden area that night, the moment Murong Yun had completely obtained the inheritance would have been the moment when his body was completely taken away from him.
This is what makes him happy, but what is a little embarrassing is that although his current state is in the late stage of transcendence, because he actively refused to complete the inheritance, his strength cannot match his current state, and he will be restricted at many times. .
In the lobby, Murong Yun was sitting upright, looking in the direction of the courtyard door, frowning tightly.
"I advise you not to get involved in this muddy water."
"If I was injured, wouldn't it be easier for you to take advantage of me?"
"Huh." Murong Jian smiled and said: "Speaking of which, you are still my direct bloodline, why do you need to play such tricks with me. We share a body now. If this body is corroded by monsters, what will happen to me after so many years of waiting? It’s not wasted.”
Murong Yun asked: "So you are planning to help me?"
Murong Jian was surprised and said: "Why do you still have such immature ideas now that you are the head of the family?"
Murong Yun's face was expressionless: "Is this a right deal? What are your conditions?"
"I can help you exert your extraordinary power, but don't think about dealing with that monster. During this period, your body must be under my control."
Murong Yun firmly refused: "It's impossible. If I completely give the initiative to you, I won't be able to control my life or death."
"Haha, you do have some of the same intentions as I did back then. Didn't you already think that everything was over? You must know that you are now the hope of the Murong family's revival."
Murong Yun's expression turned ugly: "I'm afraid this so-called ancestral precept is what you left behind. Time is running out and I have already shown my sincerity. Why are you still testing me like this?"
Murong Jian was noncommittal: "I don't have to control your body, but helping you like this consumes a lot of your spiritual consciousness."
Murong Yun said: "That's no problem. Hidden Valley has also produced many elixirs in recent years, especially the earth spirit root, which is very effective in restoring spiritual consciousness."
"Ha." Murong Jian just responded coldly.
Murong Yun suddenly understood that the reason why the forbidden area was built there was precisely because of the discovery of the earth spirit root, and Murong Jian's Nascent Soul could have existed in the decaying body for so long, so he naturally obtained the earth spirit root all the time. nourish.
"Then what do you need? A treasure similar to the earth spirit root? Hidden Valley may not have it, but I can find it for you."
Murong Jian said coldly: "Now that I have entered your body, no matter how much earth spirit roots you absorb, you will benefit the most. Moreover, the earth spirit roots are more about maintaining the immortality of your spiritual consciousness and are of no benefit to me."
"What I need is a lot of mental energy."
Murong Yun's brows twitched: "You want me to help you swallow other people's spiritual fetuses?"
Murong Yun said in a sarcastic tone: "I finally understand why each generation of you is not as good as the previous one. Your mentality towards cultivation can only be used as cannon fodder in that era."
"Time will change a lot of things." Murong Yun retorted.
Murong Yun said solemnly: "No matter how time changes, the essence of practice is to plunder. As everyone knows, the more you absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the less others will absorb."
Murong Yun struggled in his heart for a while and said, "I can promise you, but it will have to wait until later."
Murong Jian smiled and said: "Of course."
He changed his words: "And I know what you are thinking, but I have to remind you that there are not so many just-right enemies for you to plunder in this world."
Murong Yun suddenly reacted: "Do you have any goals?"
Murong Jian was silent for a moment, and replied bluntly: "Well, yes, the woman just now has extremely strong mental power, and her spiritual fetus seems to be delicious."
"you!"
The bench under Murong Yun suddenly dispersed with a loud bang. He was so excited that he had not contained the energy in his body.
Murong Yun stood up. The conversation between him and Murong Jian in the sea of consciousness actually lasted less than half a stick of incense, but the changes in his emotions were more than the entire day.
Murong Jian didn't take it seriously and said leisurely: "People nowadays don't understand the importance of cultivating spiritual power. From the spiritual fetus to the Yuanying, and from the Yuanying to the Yuanshen, with the consolidation of the Yuanshen, even if the physical body is decayed, one can Live on in the world with your soul for a long time.”
"Aren't you always looking forward to me leaving your body? Then you'd better hope that I can recover soon. Then it will be a relief to you and me."
Murong Yun was shocked and angry, but he still held back his emotions and asked: "You are in the late stage of mortal transformation, but you can only cultivate the Nascent Soul. If you want to cultivate the Nascent Spirit that is the same as the body, isn't it the legendary realm of immortality? "
Murong Jian was silent for a long time, and then sighed: "So this is where your path ends? Transforming into a mortal? Then do you know that among the ten major families in the world, there is at least one person in the immortality realm? "
"Beep."
The wick on the bronze lamp was poured into the melted wax oil, and the sparks jumped for the last time, and finally returned to silence.
Murong Jian stood in the lobby where the night slowly spread in. Murong Jian's voice seemed to have traveled through the long river of time, naturally carrying the weight and mystery of that era.
He has never truly felt the elegance of that era, but at this moment he feels the unique aspiration for the Tao of people of that era. Can everyone live forever?
"Is it a good thing that you have some insights? Although Taoist cultivation means moving forward step by step, if you don't dare to look up at the scenery at the top of the mountain, then you will never get out of the trails and mud halfway up the mountain."
Murong Yun shook his head and said: "If it really comes to that day, then you'd better try to seize my body."
Murong Jian was disgusted by Murong Yun, and couldn't suppress his anger: "Is it important for a woman to practice cultivation?"
Murong Yun shook his head and said: "Then if you swallow her spiritual fetus, will it end? No, you will also swallow other people. Maybe it will be the eldest brother and the second brother that day. With such a tone, you might as well think about seizing the body. I."
It was obviously Murong Yun who should be begging Murong Jian, but the situation slowly changed.
Compared to Murong Yun, who had just finished seclusion for twelve years, Murong Jian, who had been waiting for hundreds of years, actually wanted to do something more.
Maybe it was because Murong Yun discovered this that he seemed so ignorant?
Murong Jian sometimes had to admit that his direct descendant was excellent, but at this time he only needed obedient people.
"You have let that girl go. It is you who made the situation more chaotic. I don't care, but you, the owner of the Hidden Valley who is under the spotlight, can you really hide here and do nothing? Will you let it happen? Does that woman look down on you?"
The corners of Murong Yun's eyes twitched.
Murong Jian followed the temptation and said: "You have always had the courage to fight with me, but this is not what I want. After all, you have gained my approval, but if you want to find a more harmonious environment with me, you must be sensible. One thing, I have two methods here."
Murong Yun asked: "What is the other one?"
"Haha." Murong Jian replied: "Find a suitable body for me."
Murong Yun said with an ugly face: "You are really trying to distract my eldest brother and the others."
"Your eldest brother is a bit less talented, and I haven't met your second brother yet, but I have reflected over the years that sometimes bloodline really shouldn't be a limitation on practice."
Murong Yun's originally repulsive mentality was relieved by Murong Jian's sudden talkability, and he asked: "Can I find a body for you that is not related by blood?"
"It's possible, but this body is at least in the True Self state, and its talent is extremely outstanding."
Murong Yun's expression became extremely strange. He always felt that Murong Jian was following what someone said, because he had sensed that that person had broken through the spiritual realm.
How old is the other person? It seems that he is not yet nineteen. At such an age, his talent is completely worthy of being said to be extremely talented.
"Buzz——"
An extremely subtle trembling sound suddenly sounded in Murong Yun's heart, and he rushed out of the room and flew into the air.
Many people in Suzaku City were suddenly stunned at this moment and were looking around in confusion.
Murong Yun looked solemnly and looked towards the inner city.
In his eyes, the billowing black clouds suddenly stopped spreading, and several invisible auras rose into the sky. When they landed, the connected auras not only enveloped the entire inner city, but also more than half of the outer city. The place was also shrouded in it.
"It turns out to be the Shura Formation that reverses Yin and Yang. I advise you not to get involved." Murong Jian warned in a deep voice.
Murong Yun withdrew his gaze and began to search for the breath where he left the mark.
Huaifenghua's figure was easy to find. She was leading a column of cavalry to a certain place. In Murong Yun's eyes, that place was filled with endless death energy.
"Calm down!"
Murong Jian felt Murong Yun's impatience, "This thing is too dirty, I don't want to be contaminated at all."
Murong Jian was afraid that Murong Yun would mess up and had already tried to seize control of his body.
Murong Yun snorted, "I promise you that I won't mess around, but you can't interfere with my actions, otherwise you will die now."
Murong Jian sneered: "You are not as courageous now as you were just now, you still have to agree to my conditions just now!"
"Okay, I promise you, but this will happen later. I reserve the right to choose one of the two!"
The undulating Qi in Murong Yun's body immediately stabilized, and he fell towards the river. At this time, only Murong Yin was still waiting for him.
Murong Yin said softly: "It seems that your negotiation did not go smoothly."
Huaifenghua and the others had been away for a long time, which was something that even a fool could see. Murong Yun didn't want to argue with him, so he glanced at his side and asked, "Where did Xuanwu go? I have something to think about. Ask him."
Murong Yin said expressionlessly: "Xuanwu went to help."
Murong Yun frowned inadvertently.
Murong Yin smiled helplessly and said: "Have you thought too much of your elder brother? Now the crisis has affected you and me. Even if I hate Mu Qing, I still know who the enemy is now."
Murong Yun looked apologetic: "It seems that they have been prepared for this situation?"
Murong Yin sighed softly: "Of course, this is the result that Zhuque Qinglong and others discussed together."
…
On a certain street in the south of the city, Huaifenghua led the crowd to stop.
Her beautiful eyes shone with a faint light, she raised her head to look at the black energy rising into the sky, and said in a solemn voice: "What Bai Hao didn't accomplish by sitting down, he allowed that monster to accomplish."
"We don't seem to have enough staff."
Although Wang Yeqing couldn't see the evil aura rising to the sky, she could feel the filthiness of the aura of heaven and earth here. She pondered for a moment and said: "There are five death places in total. It is impossible to put expectations on Hidden Valley now."
Yan Qing said in a deep voice: "The cavalry I brought can be regarded as a force alone, and there are also others over at Mudleg Alley..."
Huaifenghua shook his head and said, "The cavalry on the side of Mudleg Alley cannot withdraw."
Wang Yeqing took out a map from his sleeve, and several people gathered together and discussed quickly for a while.
Finally, Huaifenghua decided to pay attention: "Yan Qing, you will be in charge of this place, I will be in charge of this place, Sister Wang and Xiu Wei will be together, senior sister..."
Huai Fenghua was a little worried about Huai Cao Shi, but Huai Cao Shi looked at her brightly and firmly.
Yan Qing suggested: "There is Mr. Zhang over there in Mudleg Alley. In fact, there is no problem in leaving only one cavalryman."
Huaifenghua nodded lightly and looked at Huaicao Shi, who smiled helplessly: "That's all we have to do, it's me who has dragged you down."
It stands to reason that although the force gathered around Mu Qing is not as good as Hidden Valley, it is completely overwhelming compared to other forces in southern Xinjiang, but now it is also stretched.
Zhang Anping had to protect Liu Yueshan and the others, while Xie Henhe had to stay outside the city and guard the wounded. Although Huai Cao Shi's strength had exceeded the second level, it was still dangerous enough.
Zhang Shaoyao, who was ignored on the side, looked at Huaifenghua eagerly: "Master, do you want to leave this last part to the three of us?"
Huaifenghua looked at her young apprentice. Standing next to Zhang Shaoyao were Ning Chu and Bai Jiahe.
Ning Chu smiled helplessly. She hoped to be able to help, but according to Huaifenghua's arrangement, even Huaicao's poems seemed to be a little off. They probably would not be arranged like this.
Sure enough, Huaifenghua sighed softly: "Of course you can be of great help, just follow my uncle."
"Then...there's one place left."
Huaifenghua and Wang Yeqing looked at each other and said bitterly: "The people in Hidden Valley won't help, but she will definitely do it."
Everyone immediately realized who Huaifenghua was talking about. They must know that when they first left the small courtyard by the river, they were looking for Murong Jing.
"Okay, time waits for no one. If we waste a moment here, Mu Qing may be in great danger. Everyone, please do your best!"
Huaifenghua didn't say anything about protecting herself at this moment. The expressions on everyone's faces became much more serious. They nodded solemnly and ran away.
