The atmosphere under Xiaoyue Lake became even more strange.
Taoist Li Jing's last words were equivalent to bringing the relationship between the two parties closer.
"So, senior brother, what do you want?" Lu Wan asked slowly with a solemn expression.
"Pindao has seen that battlefield and cleaned up the remaining traces for you."
Taoist Li Jing's tone was solemn and he said slowly: "He gathers wind and clouds and triggers thunder from the sky. His attainments in magic are quite impressive."
"But I encountered a thunderous backlash, so I was seriously injured, and then I was defeated by you."
"Making the thunder from the sky backfire on him shows that you have the ability to control thunder."
"There are rumors in the world that half a month ago, he was only in the realm of Qi refining, but now his cultivation has advanced rapidly, and he has already refined three Taoist platforms, which is rare in the world."
"It's hard for a poor Taoist to imagine that with such an advanced level of cultivation, you can still have the energy to cultivate the Thunder Technique to perfection!"
"Even if the Thunder Technique has been fully cultivated, with the cultivation level of your three Taoist platforms, you will not be able to counter its Thunder Technique at all."
"The only explanation is magical power!"
After a pause, Taoist Li Jing spoke again and said: "How can the realm of Daoji carry magical powers?"
Lu Wan remained silent and did not respond.
Taoist Li Jing did not stop, but continued.
"Even though he has the magical power of thunder, the gap in his cultivation is too big. The thunder he triggered should be beyond your control."
"Even if I can't kill you on the spot, it's not like you can even use the sky thunder."
"So, your magical power of thunder is definitely extraordinary."
He held it slightly in his hand, and there was a flash of lightning, and he said calmly: "I just wanted to test your thunder power, but I didn't expect that your ability is really shocking."
What he was referring to at this moment was that Lu Wan's illusory body just now was so fake that he, a high disciple of Chengming Tianshi Mansion, could not see through it for a moment.
It also means that Lu Wan was hidden in the rock wall, and his technique was so superb that it also avoided his perception.
Those below the level of Lian Shen cannot see through it at all.
And if he hadn't used thunder to test Lu Wan's magical powers, he wouldn't have discovered the clues.
"It is said that your moral character is not high, but your ability is extremely high, and you can make great achievements in making cauldrons. Today, it seems that the rumors may not be false."
Taoist Li Jing gave a salute and said: "If someone like Junior Brother is willing, he can be recommended by Pindao to enter the Chengming Tianshi Mansion and become an inner disciple!"
"Senior brother, you are overly praised. Such achievements are all due to the master of my family."
Lu Wan said this.
Then he saw Taoist Li Jing, and he took a photo of the body of the Imperial Master in his hand.
And the strange stone in Lu Wan's hand also fell into his hand.
He put away the strange stone, carried the corpse, and took a deep look at the altar with complicated eyes.
Then I saw him turn around and leave, waving his hand.
"Since you don't agree, that's all."
"Pindao will take care of this matter for you."
"However, after all, Xuantian Temple is also a lineage of my Chengming Tianshi Mansion. There are two pieces of news here, Pindao. You should be prepared in advance so that you can take care of yourself."
The voice fell and the others were gone.
But two talismans floated in front of Lu Wan.
——
Led by an elder from the God Refining Realm of Chengming Tianshi Mansion, he led eight true disciples of the Ding Builder and many disciples into the southern part of Daqian.
In name, it was to annihilate the Hades Sect.
Practitioners in the world think that they are here to surround and suppress the thief who stole the secret method of the Tianshi Mansion.
But in fact, Chengming Tianshi Mansion came here for two things.
The first is Leizu!
The Prince of the East Palace, after acquiring the power of thunder, bowed down to the south!
This incident shocked the government and the public, and His Majesty was furious.
Si Tianjian was responsible for strictly investigating the matter, and took advantage of the "replacement of gods" cases in various places to go into the south to investigate the matter.
According to the current speculation of Chengming Tianshi Mansion, the magical power of "Lei Ancestor" appeared in the southern part of Daqian!
It is precisely for this reason that after His Highness the Crown Prince obtained the magical power of thunder, he could not control himself and bowed to the south to show his submission.
There is also a speculation that His Royal Highness the Prince should have failed in the three years of Jie Tian Tower and was unable to obtain supernatural powers. It was just because Lei Zu came to the world and was accompanied by thunder to protect the Tao.
Moreover, it seems that the divine thunder that protects the Tao is not the same.
In addition to the prince, six beings who have recently acquired thunder powers have been discovered so far, including cultivators, wild tribesmen, peak demons, and those who have awakened the bloodline of ancient gods and demons.
"So in the Chengming Tianshi Mansion, the practitioners of Lei Fa lineage took the opportunity to disrupt the southern part of Daqian in order to hide the whereabouts of Lei Ancestor?"
"They want to protect Leizu?"
"Or in the chaos, take the lead and find Lei Zu?"
"Taoist Li Jing, could it be that I am Lei Zu?"
In Lu Wan's mind, thoughts swirled and his heart felt a little heavy.
The third and fourth ancestors were also lost in thought. After a long time, they heard the third ancestor speak.
"Do you know, Master, why the word 'Chengming' comes first in the Chengming Tianshi Mansion?"
"It is said that the first generation of heavenly masters was named Chengming?"
"That's one of them."
"What about the second one?"
"Take over Cang Ming and accept the destiny of heaven."
"So the Tianshi Mansion is the 'Orthodox of Heaven'?"
"At least they think they are."
Grandma Third Ancestor said this: "In the world's myths and legends, Leizu Tianzun is the ancestor of thunder in all realms! He is the righteous god of the heavens and the head of the gods of thunder!"
Chengming Celestial Master Mansion believes that it has inherited the Cangtian Taoism!
Lei Zu is the legendary god of heaven and the leader of the Thunder Department.
Therefore, it makes sense that the Chengming Tianshi Mansion would like to protect the people who inherited the power of Lei Ancestor.
"But this person seems to suspect that the headmaster is the one who inherited Leizu's power."
The Fourth Patriarch pondered and said: "Actually, the master's magical power of thunder is indeed extraordinary. Maybe it is really the Thunder Patriarch!"
"Anyway, this Taoist Li Jing is a wake-up call."
Grandma Third Ancestor said: "Nowadays, all the powerful forces have set their sights on the south. Since they are looking for the Thunder Ancestor's magical power, the headmaster must be more cautious in the use of the Thunder Ancestor's magical power in the future."
The Fourth Patriarch thought for a while and said: "In fact, the problem is not big. Now Chengming Tianshi Mansion has disturbed the water with a basic thunder method... Even if the master uses thunder, it still belongs to Chengming Tianshi Mansion. Judging from the attitude of Taoist Li Jing, the Chengming Tianshi Mansion will definitely approve of this thunder method!"
"The prince is possessed of thunder and has become a protector."
Lu Wan thought for a while and said: "No wonder Emperor Daqian is so angry. If Si Tianjian arrives, in the past, he would rather kill the wrong person than let go! But now, Chengming Tianshi Mansion has disturbed the water, and then It’s much safer.”
When he heard the news, he felt a little wary.
Then he looked at the second talisman.
The news recorded on it is more important than the matter of "Lei Zu".
This should be the real reason why Chengming Tianshi Mansion sent a god refiner, eight cauldron builders, and many disciples to the south.
Something happened in the southern mountains.
In Zhenyang Prince's Mansion, twenty-four mountains in the south formed a star formation, forming a dividing chasm!
But the old prince, who had been in seclusion for many years, secretly went to Mount Twenty-Four to investigate on a whim.
"There are twenty-four commanders in each of the twenty-four mountains. At least half of them are possessed by demons."
"Hell Mountain among the southern mountains has hidden demonic nature and is very likely to cause catastrophe."
"If it cannot be cleared up in time, there will be a disaster within three years!"
The talisman burned instantly and turned into ashes.
There was silence again.
After a while, Lu Wan was heard to say: "What is a demonic disaster?"
The two ancestors fell silent.
Then I heard Grandma Third Ancestor sigh: "As for the existence of 'demons', with your current level of cultivation, it's still too early."
"But the matter is already in front of us, and it cannot be avoided."
The Fourth Patriarch said this and then said: "Hell Prison Mountain... was originally called Black Dragon Mountain!"
As the fourth ancestor narrated, Lu Wan gradually understood.
There used to be a dragon that lived there. It was all black and could be compared to the god of refinement. It was the demon king.
At the beginning of the founding of the Daqian Dynasty, the demons were eradicated, with the intention of restoring a peaceful world to the world.
But after all, the monsters could not be killed, and finally there was a matter of conferring a divine status.
But before finding the method of "conferring divine status", the Daqian Dynasty's attitude towards monsters in the world was to kill them all!
Within the territory of Daqian, demons were killed and blood flowed like rivers. Those who survived fled in all directions.
Some went to the northern wilderness.
Some entered the deserts of the Western Regions.
Some fled into the sea to the east.
But more and more families migrated into the southern mountains.
Later, the demons from the south came again!
That year, there were ten demon kings who brought millions of people to suppress Daqian.
The Daqian Dynasty gathered heavy troops in the south and recruited practitioners from all forces within the territory.
Chengming Tianshi Mansion also participated in this battle.
The second headmaster of Chengming Tianshi Mansion was recruited that year to participate in this battle.
"This battle resulted in countless casualties."
"Ten demon kings, seven have fallen."
"There are four great practitioners of the Divine Refining Realm in Daqian who have died."
"More than half of the million-strong army was lost."
"That battle has made the monsters in the southern mountains still fearful."
The Fourth Patriarch said with emotion: "I only saw the records of this battle from the classics. Although they are just words, there are also monstrous killing scenes that seem to be unfolding before my eyes!"
That battle was at Black Dragon Mountain!
After this battle, it was called Hell Mountain!
And the black-scaled dragon, which was comparable to the God of Refining, also fell into it.
"After this battle, evil spirits from the southern mountains occasionally invaded, and the battlefield chosen by Zhenyang Prince's Palace was basically in the Black Prison Mountain!"
The Fourth Patriarch paused for a moment and said: "After I was with you in Jinling and defeated the Fourth Young Master of Prince Zhenyang's Mansion... the Zhao family's collection of classics in Jinling was brought, and I have also read through the records of major events in recent years."
Ten years ago, the contemporary King of Zhenyang, in order to show his power, captured the twenty-four mountains in the south to create a twenty-four star formation, like a wall, to defend the south.
Now it seems that the old prince gave guidance in that battle ten years ago.
And this battle was still chosen at Hell Mountain!
"Not only that, the 'old prince' you call him was searching for the Ancient Heart Ape, and the final battle was also in Hell Mountain!"
Grandma Third Grandma said this and whispered: "Millions of fighting souls, tens of thousands of demons and ghosts, with endless killing intent and endless resentment, sank under the Black Hell Mountain! I heard about this before I died. statement……"
"After your death, the Heavenly Master from Chengming Heavenly Master's Mansion came here."
The Fourth Patriarch thought for a while and said: "I was a disciple at that time, following the old Heavenly Master to the Black Prison Mountain."
Grandma Sanzu asked, "What did he say?"
The Fourth Patriarch whispered: "He used the Heavenly Master's Mansion to eliminate the sinful debts, and he will be safe and worry-free for at least a hundred years."
Lu Wan heard this and whispered: "You old man, you have been dead for more than a hundred years."
"But the Chengming Heavenly Master's Mansion will send an elder from the God Refining Realm to save you every hundred years."
The Fourth Patriarch spoke up and said: "The Heavenly Master said that at most nine times, all the grievances can be eliminated, and there will be no more future troubles! The grievances that were so heavy back then were suppressed, and now, most of them should be gone. Logically speaking, Say, it’s hard to make it happen…”
Lu Wan heard the complicated meaning in the old man's words, and immediately became enlightened and said, "Unless someone tampered with it!"
"good!"
The Fourth Patriarch looked at the altar and said slowly: "This bastard thing can create a prison-suppressing divine dog, but it may not be able to create a natural great devil!"
"To be able to allow Chengming Tianshi Mansion to use such a large formation, I'm afraid a demon seed has already formed!"
"The demon seed is like a fetus. Once it is born, it will be like a god!"
"If you focus on killing, you will cause trouble in all directions!"
The Fourth Patriarch paused for a moment, then continued: "Taoist Li Jing should keep his mouth shut about this kind of thing, but he informed the headmaster..."
If the matter has been solved or is in the process of being solved, it is not worth mentioning!
But now I tell Xuantian Guan that there is only one explanation!
Grandma Third Patriarch said slowly: "Taoist Li Jing, I think you are the true successor of Xuantian Temple, and I want to use you to tell Headmaster Xuantian on Kaiyang Mountain... that the demon seed is missing!"
This means that the Chengming Tianshi Mansion has sent out such a large formation, but it has not been able to find the demon seed so far!
"The birth of the devil is the refining of the gods?"
Lu Wan thought for a while and said: "For the Chengming Tianshi Mansion and the Daqian court, a refining god may not be so terrible, right?"
"But he is a demon, and he is a demon that gathers thousands of murderous intentions, resentments, evil spirits, and evil spirits between heaven and earth, and ranks among the ranks of heavenly demons!"
The Fourth Patriarch said slowly: "Once it grows, it will be a real catastrophe! We can only kill it in advance..."
Grandma Third Grandma sighed and said: "More importantly, He is the greatest tonic for certain existences!"
Lu Wan's expression changed and he whispered: "Some existence?"
The Fourth Patriarch paused for a moment and then continued: "The old prince of Zhenyang Palace cannot come out. In fact, he is hiding in the world and does not dare to show up. It is because of them."
"They set their sights on the old prince and regarded him as prey."
"So the old prince can only hide."
With the voice of the fourth ancestor, the atmosphere became more solemn.
"Can you only hide it?"
"He doesn't dare to fight."
"Disciple heard that the old prince has reached the peak of the God Refining Realm, and controls the King's Seal, making him one of the most powerful people in the world."
"It doesn't matter, he is still a prey." Grandma Third Ancestor said calmly: "In the past two thousand years, there is only one person who can get rid of his identity as a prey and kill the hunter!"
"Who?" Lu Wan asked with a frown.
"I am the first ancestor of Xuantian Temple." The third ancestor's grandmother responded.
"But afterwards, the first patriarch almost died." The Fourth Patriarch paused for a moment, and then said: "In fact, in that battle, we just died together! Because the first patriarch was too seriously injured, it was indeed because of this battle that he died young, only If you save this little bit of soul, you won’t be able to save even a little bit of consciousness.”
"Is this also the reason why all the sects of Xuantian Temple have been short-lived?" Lu Wan seemed to realize something.
"Strictly speaking, it can be." Grandma Sanzu was silent for a while before responding.
"..."
Lu Wan raised his head, feeling a little depressed for a moment.
Xuantianguan's first-generation patriarch and second-generation patriarch are both too far away.
But the third generation patriarch, to a certain extent, is the master of the revival of Xuantian Temple!
When she took over, Xuantian Temple was only a small sect, with only a dozen members in the sect.
Later, with one person and one sword, she laid the foundation and became the first sect in the Ziyang Region and the most powerful god-refining force in the south of Daqian.
But such an existence was like walking on thin ice, and in the end, he passed away in the prime of his life.
"Who are they?" Lu Wan asked.
"Demon!" The Third Ancestor said in a deep voice.
"Something more terrifying than the 'Demon Seed'."
The Fourth Ancestor sighed and said: "You shouldn't have known it originally. Even if you reach the realm of refining gods, this is still a dark cloud weighing on your head that won't go away."
"With such pressure and long-term shadow, it will become your 'inner demon' when you break through to become a god!"
"But if I don't tell you the truth today, I guess you won't be able to get rid of the idea of exploring."
The Fourth Patriarch's tone was solemn as he said, "The most important thing is that the evil disaster is right in front of you. As the headmaster of Xuantian, you should know..."
——
Taoist Li Jing, his body transformed into escaping light, and thunder pierced the clouds.
He was carrying the body of the Imperial Master's true successor and holding a strange stone in his hand.
And his soul was condensed, and he immediately penetrated into the strange stone.
The scene inside gradually emerged.
Maybe his soul is not strong enough, after all, he is not a Yin God.
Therefore, the scene among the strange rocks is extremely chaotic, the order is reversed, and the patterns are unclear.
But in a trance, he saw the demon tiger, the national master, the fog, the white ape, the Taoist, etc...
In an instant, his escape suddenly stopped.
Looking at the strange stone in his hand, his expression changed and he turned pale in an instant.
In an instant, cold sweat dripped down his forehead.
Bang!
The strange stone suddenly exploded!
"It's over!"
Taoist Li Jing showed a look of fear, turned around and walked away, turning into thunder.
——
The end of the southern territory of Daqian.
Twenty-four mountains are connected in a line, like a long dragon.
Lin Qi is the deputy commander of the Seventh Mountain, with a peak Daoji cultivation level.
He has 365 people under his command, responsible for observing the disturbances in the southern mountains.
Once an abnormal situation occurs and beacon smoke is ignited, the formations of the twenty-four mountains will rise up and echo each other.
The Zhenyang Prince's Mansion will also notice it immediately.
"It's almost dawn. Let's replace the brothers who are on night duty."
Lin Qi waved his hand and ordered the subordinates around him.
He put his hands behind his back and climbed onto the high platform.
Climb up and look out over the southern mountains.
Hundreds of thousands of mountains, layer upon layer, until the end of the sky.
It has been eight years since he was ordered to do this, and he has been on duty like this every day.
When he first arrived, he always felt bored, and he always thought in his mind that if an evildoer came to attack, it would be the time to make achievements.
But in the past two or three years, he has received several letters from home. His parents are in good health, his brother has married, and the latest letter tells him that his nephew can already walk.
"Times are still boring, but isn't that a blessing?"
Lin Qi thought like this with a smile on his face.
He looked at the distant horizon, and at the end, there was the sun rising.
The morning sun is gorgeous and the glow is brilliant, which makes people feel intoxicated.
But the next moment, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he realized something was wrong.
Right in front of him, where the sun rises!
It's due south!
"Burn the beacon smoke!"
Lin Qi turned around and shouted.
But before the sound could spread, it stopped abruptly.
He looked at a spear through his chest and raised his head in confusion.
He saw the great commander of the realm of Zhuding.
The top general guarding the Seventh Mountain.
My sworn brother!
