Legend has it that when Emperor Taizu of the Daqian Dynasty rose up and fought for the world, there were six forces in the world.
In the end, they were all defeated, except Da Gan, who unified the world.
But according to what the Fourth Patriarch said, before the Daqian Dynasty, the overlord of the world was named Longting.
At that time, the territory of Longting was not as vast as it is now.
It was the Daqian Dynasty that conquered Longting, followed Longting's system of civil servants and generals, and followed its various laws.
On a certain level, the Daqian Dynasty overthrew Longting and inherited Longting.
But for some unknown reason, later on, in various records, Longting was just an ordinary force entrenched in one side. It failed to compete with the Daqian Dynasty for the world and disappeared in the long river of time.
In recent hundreds of years, there are almost no records about Longting.
But Lu Wan did not expect that the old man in Taoist robes he met today would call himself Grand Master Longting.
"What generation is it?"
Lu Wan suddenly asked.
It took nearly four thousand years for the Dragon Court to be overthrown.
Although the person in front of him is also an older person, he obviously has not yet reached the four thousand years of Taoism.
There is only one explanation. This old man in Taoist robes is the remnant of Longting, who has been canonized as a grand master in this generation.
"The twenty-eighth generation."
The old man in Taoist robes said with a smile: "If Daqian dominates the world, we are probably only the ninth generation since we retreated to the cave."
Four thousand years, passed down through nine generations.
Prior to this, the nineteenth generation Grand Master seemed to have existed longer than Lu Wan had imagined.
However, the passage of time has gone too long, and the records in the classics are no longer complete. Even the Fourth Ancestor Yanfa Daojun feels quite unfamiliar with Longting.
"This Lord Liu Ce, seems to be from Longting?"
Lu Wan took a deep look and said calmly: "With his great achievements in making the tripod and his innocent identity, he is considered to be in a high position in the Daqian Dynasty... The grand master is really ruthless in his attack."
"..."
The old man in Taoist robes secretly cursed in his heart. This boy was ruthless and showed no mercy. He showed his attitude as soon as he came. He was talking about deprivation. How could he be so ruthless?
He thought like this, but his face remained normal, and he said calmly: "Liu Ce is not a direct descendant. He has been in this world since he was a child. It is difficult for me to judge whether he is loyal to Longting or serving Daqian."
After a pause, he heard the Grand Master say: "Moreover, in recent times, I have been unchecked and overly arrogant, which has also offended Xuantian Guan... In comparison, I, Longting, are more willing to interact with Xuantian Guan. good."
"Um?"
Lu Wan raised his eyebrows but did not speak.
The old man in Taoist robes sighed and said: "The current Emperor of Daqian has great secrets, and is by no means an ordinary person."
"As the overlord of the world, he is naturally not an ordinary person."
Lu Wan calmly said: "If he is mediocre, how can he govern the world? The more outstanding he is, the better for the world."
"But his excellence does not lie in wisdom, but in ambition."
Taishi Longting said quietly: "In his eyes, the world is like a chessboard, and all the forces and powerful people in the world are all chess pieces in his heart... Xuantian Guan has now entered his eyes, and I am afraid that the situation will be worrying."
Lu Wan said calmly: "We, Xuantian Guan, abide by the law and even guard the border for Da Qian. Before that, Lu served as the commander of the Seventh Mountain. He is loyal and loyal. How can he be tabooed by the emperor?"
"How does it compare to Zhenyang Prince's Mansion?"
Taishi Longting said calmly: "King Zhenyang is dead, the palace is crumbling, and some of the descendants of the clan have been secretly dismissed and kept incognito... that is to say, the emperor has not become extremely mad, otherwise Zhenyang will be hunted down. The king’s lineage is all gone!”
Lu Wan fell silent.
He has always been extremely confused by the behavior of the contemporary emperor of the Daqian Dynasty.
The original national master who died in the Demon Tiger Cave was a genius with a heart for all living beings and a desire to clean up the filth in the world.
Being able to reuse that national advisor shows that Emperor Daqian was ambitious in his early years and was considered a wise monarch.
But in terms of Zhenyang Prince's Mansion, it is really too weird.
Although he was suspected of having great achievements, but with the fall of the old prince, with King Zhenyang handing over military power one after another, and with Si Tianjian's men infiltrating all parties in the southern part of Daqian, many aspects of power were deprived... Today's Zhenyang Prince's Mansion no longer has any rebellious qualities.
Why did the emperor insist on forcing Zhenyang Palace to this point?
More importantly, the demon tiger ate the imperial master and went to the divine capital. Could it be that His Majesty the Emperor really couldn't see any clues?
"Within three to five years, the world will be in chaos."
Grand Master Longting sighed and said: "In fact, for so many years, in my Longting Cave, the clan members have been replaced for countless generations... and they may not have the intention to fight for the world again. If we can survive stably, we will continue like this in the long run. , it’s not a bad idea.”
He looked at Lu Wan and whispered: "But the situation is different now. The world is about to be in chaos. If we don't prepare early... how can the eggs be intact when the nest is overturned?"
"So, you want me, Xuantian Guan, to join Longting's camp?"
"No, I just want Xuantian Guan to be prepared in advance, see clearly the direction of the world, and then make a choice... After today's conversation, I think Xuantian Guan will not be caught off guard when chaos arises in the future. I think it's my point. Kindness."
"That's all?"
"There's another piece of news."
"what news?"
"The demon tiger that swallowed your fifth-generation headmaster of Xuantian Temple."
"Huh?" Lu Wan was silent for a moment and said, "Wasn't it killed by the national master a long time ago?"
"I originally thought that it had been killed by the national master, but until the Shendu side, one of my disciples seemed to have reported this news."
Taishi Longting said calmly: "From the royal study, on the desk of Emperor Daqian, I saw a book... records of folk wonders."
He spoke calmly and said: "On that day, the page the emperor turned over contained the record of 'Royal God Lord'!"
Lu Wan did not respond directly.
But the Fourth Ancestor seemed to have some clues.
Then the Grand Master Longting took away the fish in the fishing cage, including Liu Ce’s soul...
He saluted Lu Wan and then said: "The ancestors of the Zhao family in Jinling defected from our Longting Cave in the early years! If the golden cauldron divine evil formation and the red gold cauldron are useless against Xuantian Temple... I am willing to exchange a magic weapon for Venerable Lu."
"This thing is in the hands of my master. We will discuss it later."
Lu Wan responded lightly.
I thought to myself that this red gold tripod seemed to be more impressive than I imagined, and there must be some secret hidden inside.
It can be exchanged for a magic weapon. The value of this item is probably higher than that of ordinary magic weapons.
And he probably understood that that day, the affiliated forces under Xuantian Guan were hunting down the remaining members of the Zhao family.
One branch of the branch was rescued and later investigated and went eastward, whereupon the trace was lost.
At that time, Xuantian Temple needed to establish its prestige, so Lu Wan acquiesced to his forces and hunted down the Zhao clan members to frighten all forces... But in fact, after he killed the head of the Zhao family and senior officials, he did not have much regard for ordinary clan members. There was a lot of killing intent, so this branch of the bloodline just ran away and didn't care.
Now it seems that it has fallen into the Longting Cave.
Since the Jinling Zhao family is one of the inheritances of Longting Cave Heaven, Liu Ce is not aware of it in this Ziyang Domain?
Or maybe after Liu Ce noticed it, he covered it up?
Is this probably one of the reasons why Long Ting gave up on Liu Ce?
With this in mind, Lu Wan watched the Grand Master Longting go away and thought to himself: "Grandmaster, what level is his cultivation?"
"The Qi displayed is the cultivation level of the God Refining Realm, not even the peak."
Grandma Sanzu said: "But he should be stronger than Tu Yi!"
The Tu Yi mentioned here is the Supreme Elder Tu Yi after breaking through Zhenxuan.
Lu Wan pondered: "Is it the realm of Zhenxuan?"
Grandma Third Ancestor said: "He hides his energy and comes and goes without a trace. He should be afraid of the 'magic disaster'! But since he dares to show up, he is probably better informed about the outside world..."
That big demon ate the Supreme Elder Tu Yi, so it must be refining right now.
At this time, the Grand Master Longting appears, and the danger will be greatly reduced.
"very good."
Lu Wan looked at Liu Ce Yuzun who was standing on the other side of the lake, and whispered: "He was unscathed, directly depriving him of his soul, and avoiding the need for the disciple to repair this body again after the battle... He seemed to know What we want is Liu Ce’s body?”
"I don't know this Grand Master Longting."
Grandma Third Ancestor said: "However, the Grand Master of the Daqian Dynasty was good at divination and prediction. This guy should also have the ability in this area! He should have anticipated Liu Ce's fate and knew that Liu Ce would lose this body..."
Lu Wan nodded and whispered again.
"Master Yushen?"
——
Quite far away.
The Grand Master of Longting looked down at the fish in his hand and said calmly: "Don't be resentful. I didn't harm you... If I hadn't come here, your soul would be gone today."
"The Grand Master took my soul and took it out of my body. From now on, I am a lonely ghost. How is it different from death?"
Liu Ce sighed and said: "I am Longting and have been operating in Ziyang Territory for decades. I have a deep foundation and extensive involvement. In the future, Ziyang Territory will definitely be the location of Longting's first military camp! Grand Master today If you treat me like this, how can Longting reappear in the future?"
"Longting has been operating for many years. Do you think that only the Ziyang Domain is in our hands?"
The Grand Master laughed, and then said quietly: "The basic information you have mastered, after this time, it will not be important... When the Ziyang Domain Master became a person of Xuantian Temple, and Xuantian Temple was The No. 1 Sect of Ziyang Territory, from now on... this is Xuantian Territory!"
In the Chengtian Region where Chengming Tianshi Mansion is located, even the appointment of officials is decided by the Tianshi Mansion.
Except for Chengming Tianshi Mansion, no sect or family in the world has such power.
But since then, there will be another Xuantian Temple secretly.
"Xuantian Guan will secretly turn Ziyang Territory into his Xuantian Territory. This is something that the Daqian court cannot tolerate."
The grand master said slowly: "Our concession this time has helped Xuantian Guan succeed. In fact, Xuantian Guan is completely on the opposite side of the Daqian Dynasty."
He patted the fishing cage and said: "Liu Ce, Liu Ce, you like to be clever too much. The Dragon Court is already very dissatisfied with you. You should be satisfied that I can save your soul this time."
Liu Ce said in a low voice: "If you lose your body, your soul will die sooner or later."
The Grand Master laughed and said: "Normally, this is the case, but if you can prove your loyalty to Longting, not only will it not die out, but it may also last forever... even better than the ordinary God Refining Realm. Live longer.”
Liu Ce did not respond, but just remembered some secrets of the Hades Sect.
There is a relationship between Longting and Hades Sect.
"The prison-suppressing divine dog was taken away by Xuantian Guan. The Hades Sect could not open the prison, but that 'sir' tried a new method..."
"New method? Does that mean it may not be successful?"
"That's pretty much what it means."
"So, do you want me to follow this new method to explore the underworld?"
"You are too smart, but unfortunately you are always smart."
Grand Master Longting sighed and said: "You added fuel to the flames and destroyed Xuantian Temple, and in the past two or three months, you sat back and watched Xuantian Temple grow. Many things... are due to your being too self-righteous."
He stroked his beard slightly and said: "I hope you can still maintain your little cleverness on the way to Hades. If you lose your mind, you will really become a lonely ghost."
——
At this moment.
Lu Wan took a look at Liu Ce Yuzun's body.
This is not considered a corpse because the body is alive.
Master Longting fished away the soul, saving Lu Wan countless efforts.
But the follow-up is still very troublesome.
"Carry out preliminary transformation, then take out his Dao cauldron, use the prepared small cauldron, and place it in it... I can keep my Yin spirit in the small cauldron."
The voice of the Fourth Patriarch came and said: "Although there will inevitably be rejection, once you have a physical body, it will be easier to do things..."
He said this, emphasized it again, and said: "It's just a matter of making do with it now. Later, I will formulate a new body that is completely created by my own Yinshen!"
"become!"
Lu Wan said: "When this disciple comes back from occupying the main hall of the Heavenly Palace, he will try to break through to the realm of forging a cauldron. After he succeeds, he will be 60% sure that he can create a new body for the fourth ancestor..."
After casting the tripod, we are 60% sure.
If it was about refining the gods, Lu Wan would basically have full confidence.
But the Fourth Patriarch was obviously a little anxious.
The ancestor of Xuantian Temple was horrified by the fact that it was probably a demonic disaster.
——
It is not easy to create a physical body out of thin air.
But it is not difficult to transform Liu Ce's physical body to further adapt to the Yin God of the Fourth Ancestor.
First of all, Lu Wan has the magical power of the Wood Spirit Taoist platform and has infinite vitality.
Secondly, there are magical flowers to help, and the words are followed, which is extremely magical.
Thirdly, the Fourth Patriarch himself had written down the transformation plan in detail, and passed it on to Lu Wan.
Once Liu Ce got his physical body, the matter was settled.
But the next moment, Lu Wan couldn't help but be stunned.
Because the "Liu Ceyu Zun" who was right in front of him opened his eyes at the same time.
Lu Wan's heart moved.
The Chaos Tianyuan Wood actually has roots spreading.
The spirit of the Fourth Ancestor that had entered Liu Ce Yuzun's body seemed to be penetrated by endless tree roots in an instant.
"I've already escaped from you, how can this tree be suppressed out of thin air?"
The Fourth Patriarch looked helpless and said, "What is the origin of this tree?"
He read aloud, not expecting Lu Wan to answer, so he just stretched out his hand.
The light of mana gathered into a volume.
"The record of Lord Yu Shen is above."
The Fourth Ancestor was straightforward and said: "Liu Ce's disappearance will definitely cause a disturbance. I first went to Ziyang Domain Mansion to show my face, and then declared to retreat... Afterwards, I just used the excuse that the retreat went wrong and damaged the soul to fool some things."
He thought for a while and then said: "Headmaster will make preparations tonight. Early tomorrow morning, I will secretly return to Kaiyang Mountain and we will try to climb to Cang Mingtian."
If this attempt fails, he will transfer to Chengming Tianshi Mansion. He should also be able to go to Cangming Tian in time to help Lu Wan in the fight for the main palace.
As soon as the voice fell, the fourth ancestor was already heading towards the direction of Ziyang Domain Mansion, showing his escaping light, and suddenly left.
"Headmaster, watch carefully!"
His Yu Gangxing Dou Steps were so superb that he disappeared in an instant, leaving only the following words: "Anything that goes into the tiger's mouth is a sign of poor academic skills and a bad reputation for me!"
"..."
Lu Wan looked at his leaving figure, touched his head, and muttered: "How come the disciples feel that there is an empty space in their heads now that the Fourth Patriarch is gone..."
