Zhuofeng, as its name suggests, has no magnificent scenery, no majestic momentum, no spiritual roots, and nothing surprising.
It is ordinary, almost desolate, like a wilderness, with dead vines, old trees and crows, and a blood-red sunset, giving it a gloomy atmosphere. It is not like the main peak of Xianmen at all.
There are broken walls and ruins on the clumsy peak, endless rubble, overgrown wormwood and thorns everywhere.
The road on the mountain was completely submerged in thorns, and the vegetation was overgrown. It seemed that no one had cleared it for a long time.
Li Ruoyu looked at Li An standing in the weeds in disbelief.
"Junior brother, it's really you! Isn't it my imagination?"
There was a glimmer of hope in his cloudy old eyes, and his body was trembling slightly.
Three hundred years ago, Li An was hunted down by the Holy Land of Light, and his life and death were unknown.
He has been waiting for news about his junior brother and searched for it himself, but there was no clue at all.
He originally thought that his junior brother might have died three hundred years ago, but he did not expect that he would be able to see Li An again after three hundred years. He thought it was a farewell, but he suddenly saw him at this time. He was so excited that he could not find it. Expression.
"It's me, senior brother. Don't you recognize me after three hundred years?"
Li An looked at the old senior brother in front of him and said with a smile.
Five hundred years ago, he traveled to the world of Zhetian and grew up with this wise and foolish senior brother. He was much older than Li An. He was like a father. He often taught him for his master. The relationship between the two was extremely deep. .
Especially after his master Li Daoqing and the Supreme Elder of Yaoguang Holy Land died together, his senior brother Li Ruoyu has been protecting him and resisted the pressure from Yaoguang Holy Land alone.
"I thought...I thought...it would be good just to come back!"
Li Ruoyu couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes and said half a sentence, but not the whole sentence. In the end, thousands of words were reduced to one sentence.
He stretched out his hand tremblingly, trying to catch Li An, fearing that it was a bubble phantom.
Just as Li An was about to take the initiative to grab the old man's hand, he saw Li Ruoyu staggering and about to fall.
He stepped forward and supported Li Ruoyu.
"Cough...cough, it's an old problem, it's not a problem!"
Li Ruoyu stopped and coughed a few more times. There was blood on the palm of his hand.
Li An's face darkened.
"It's really not a problem, it's just an old problem."
The old man said again, taking Li An's hand and going back to the palace.
But as soon as he took two steps, Li Ruoyu coughed up blood again, and his whole body became even more rickety.
The next moment, he fainted and fell to the ground.
Li An hugged the old man and said nothing, but there was already anger in his heart.
As the Great Emperor, he had a clear understanding of the injuries in Li Ruoyu's body at the moment of contact.
There are all kinds of hidden wounds in his body, left behind by fighting with powerful beings.
The most terrifying thing is that there is a crack on the immortal platform in the body, which is a wound.
Based on Li An's understanding of Li Ruoyu, this senior brother is not a competitive person.
The body has long been exhausted to the extreme, and he should have died long ago, but he has been supported by his thoughts until now.
After meeting Li An, my mood went up and down, and my thoughts relaxed, and I suddenly fell ill like a mountain.
Li An hugged the old man and overcame thousands of obstacles in one step and arrived at the palace.
After laying his senior brother down on the bed, a blazing energy and blood rushed out of his body, turning into majestic life essence and entering Li Ruoyu's body.
The Heavenly Dao is humming, endless Dao flowers are blooming, surrounding their bodies, the room is filled with fragrant fragrance, and the youthful beauty interweaves the traces of the Dao in an instant.
This is Li Anzai using his own emperor's blood to cleanse Li Ruoyu's Taoist wounds.
After a large amount of life essence entered the body, Li Ruoyu's originally depleted body was immediately replenished and began to absorb greedily.
The empty body was suddenly filled with vitality, and the hidden wounds all over his body quickly faded away. The originally rickety body began to revive, the wrinkles on his face disappeared, and his hair also turned from white to black again.
In the blink of an eye, he went from a half-buried old man to his prime.
Only after the injuries inside the senior brother's body were completely healed did Li An let go.
Originally, Li Ruoyu's body had been exhausted to the extreme, and he had also suffered Tao injuries. His survival until now was dependent on the support of his mind, and he should have died long ago.
With such a serious injury, even a saint would be unable to do anything.
If he hadn't become the Great Emperor, I'm afraid senior brother would really die.
After a while, Li Ruoyu woke up from the bed.
As soon as he woke up, he noticed something strange about his body. He felt refreshed as never before, as if he had lived his second life.
"Am I a child again?"
Li Ruoyu was shocked and looked at his younger face in the mirror.
"Junior brother, is it possible for you to give me a holy medicine?"
Li Ruoyu waved his thickened arms. Not only was his physical pain relieved, he felt that his lifespan had become much longer.
Li An smiled and said nothing. He did not simply treat his senior brother's injury. It was the emperor's life essence, which extended Li Ruoyu's life for at least two thousand years.
"Junior brother, where have you been all these years?"
After getting used to his younger body, Li Ruoyu took Li An and started talking.
"I followed the ancient starry sky road and visited many star fields..."
Li An sat in the palace and told Li Ruoyu his experiences over the years.
After wandering in the lonely universe for more than three hundred years, even though Li An became emperor, he was still filled with emotions and chatted with Li Ruoyu until very late at night.
Li Ruoyu was shocked but relieved at the same time when he heard that Li An was being hunted by the Holy Land of Light in the past and was accidentally teleported to other star regions.
No wonder Li An disappeared without a trace back then. He searched hard in the East Wasteland for a long time, but no clues were found.
Everyone thought that Li An was secretly killed by Shaoguang Holy Land and wanted to take revenge.
Five hundred years ago, in order to plot the inheritance of their Clumsy Peak, the Supreme Elders of the Yaoguang Holy Land fought with their master and died together, causing their inheritance to be almost cut off.
However, this was not the end. After becoming the Holy Master of the Yaoguang Holy Land, the great disciple of the Supreme Elder continued to target their Zhuofeng lineage.
As a result, Zhuofeng, which was originally prosperous, declined in just a few decades to the point where only Li Ruoyu and Li Daoqing were the only ones.
Originally, it should be almost done at this point.
But back then, Li Daoqing relied on the Golden Finger name to invade the Eastern Wasteland, making the Holy Lord of the Yaoguang Holy Land determined to exterminate the Zhuofeng lineage, and even wipe out the two of them completely.
At that time, Li An had become such a bad guy that even the Holy Land of Light could not easily do anything about it, so he could only vent his anger on his senior brother Li Ruoyu.
"I am stupid and have been sitting in Zhuofeng for hundreds of years, but I have never been able to realize the secret technique. If you had not left back then, with your understanding, I am afraid that you would have been able to realize the secret technique of our Zhuofeng lineage. It’s a secret technique.”
To make Zhuofeng prosperous again was Li Ruoyu's inner pursuit. The originally prosperous Zhuofeng lineage fell into his hands and declined to this point. From beginning to end, he felt ashamed of the teachings his master had given him back then. His qualifications were mediocre to the extreme. If not for the patient teachings given by his master back then, it would have been extremely difficult for him to embark on the path of cultivating immortality.
But now that Zhuofeng's inheritance is about to be cut off, it has become his heartache.
Hearing Li Ruoyu's words, Li An's mouth twitched. Isn't he still clear about his understanding?
It's not like he didn't want to realize "all", one of the nine secrets, at Zhuofeng before, but since he dozed off peacefully after reading the Taoist scriptures for five minutes, he understood a truth: go Damn the way of nature, you can figure out a ghost.
"Senior brother, please don't belittle yourself. Master handed over Zhuofeng to you before he died. It must have been his deep intention."
Li An smiled and said, "As the saying goes, you are a late bloomer. One day I think you will become a saint, or even become a great emperor of my human race. It is not certain. By then, you will definitely be able to carry forward our Zhuofeng lineage."
Li Ruoyu was a little stunned. Although he knew that his junior brother was comforting him, he didn't expect that his junior brother would think so highly of him.
But he is just a dull man, and he has no qualifications to be compared with a saint.
But he also knew that his junior brother meant well, so he could only nod.
"Senior brother, this is an ancient scripture that I got in other star fields. I can't understand it. Maybe it can be helpful to you."
Li An took out a scroll of scriptures and wrote three ancient characters: Tao Te Ching.
This scripture was obtained by him when he wandered to the ancient Ziwei Star Territory and entered the Tushita Palace two hundred years ago. It should be written by Laozi himself.
Unlike the Tao Te Ching of the earth, which can only cultivate sentiments, it describes the path of inaction and contains various secret techniques and Taoist methods.
However, if you want to practice this sutra, you must have a peaceful and peaceful attitude. That kind of attitude is almost impossible to achieve.
Therefore, he was abandoned by Ang Lee, and he firmly believed that adding more points was the way to go.
This ancient scripture was not suitable for him, but he felt that it would be very helpful to his senior brother Li Ruoyu. The Tao of Inaction in it was similar to the Tao of Nature, so it was just right to give it to him now.
Li Ruoyu did not refuse. He had watched Li An grow up and naturally knew his temperament. What he gave out would not be taken back.
He took the scripture and a solemn look appeared on his face as soon as he flipped through it.
"Road to Road, very Avenue!"
"It's famous, it's very famous!"
"Nothing is called the beginning of heaven and earth; existence is called the mother of all things."
…
As Li Ruoyu flipped through the pages, the sound of the Great Dao roared in the air from the scriptures in his hand, and a mysterious aura filled the air.
When Li An saw this scene, he couldn't help but clicked his tongue. It seemed that he was really not destined for things like Taoism.
And with the sound of the Dao, Li Ruoyu, who was sitting cross-legged and reading the Tao Te Ching, also entered the Dao realm. There were thousands of rays of light surrounding his body, and the sound of the Dao came out of his body.
Seeing Li Ruoyu's changes, Li An smiled slightly. Senior brother is indeed a person who can become enlightened in the future.
He was not just talking casually. This seemingly dull senior brother of his had never competed with many people and had never shown such amazing combat power. However, he walked step by step steadily and slowly. Slowly surpassing those unparalleled geniuses and monsters in the past when they were young, and after a few years, he truly became a great emperor of the human race.
Just like his name, he is a wise and foolish saint.
"It seems that in the near future, the character Ji in the Nine Secrets will reappear in our Zhuofeng lineage."
Looking at the scene where his senior brother was enlightening, Li An thought.
The Nine Secrets are reborn, and when the time comes to participate in the witnessing, they should give themselves some good things.
Those are the Nine Secrets, the most profound Taoist method among the human race, with unpredictable abilities. Each secret is almost comparable to the ancient scriptures created by a great emperor.
What Zhuofeng inherits is "Jiu" among the Nine Secrets. If this Taoist method is completed and put into operation, it can increase a person's combat power tenfold.
Moreover, this "Ji" secret has an unusual status among the Nine Secrets. After all, it was created by Emperor Zun, the last boss to clear the level.
After walking out of the palace, Li An did not disturb his senior brother's enlightenment. He walked on the road of Zhuofeng just like an ordinary person.
He stood on the top of the mountain and looked into the distance, seemingly across endless space.
"Shaking Light Holy Land, haha!"
He sneered, he would never forget the Taoist injury on his senior brother.
He had almost forgotten about the Yaoguang Holy Land's pursuit of him in the past few hundred years, and he did not think about revenge after returning to Beidou.
He is already the Great Emperor, and there are too many levels of difference between the two of them. His former enemies are just clowns, and it makes no difference whether they kill him or not.
But the situation of senior brother Li Ruoyu gave him another idea.
"If a man is alive or dead, he will be cooked in five cauldrons. I just want to borrow your black gold cauldron to have a meal."
Li An stood on the top of the mountain with his hands behind his hands, looking at the stars.
That night, the flickering black gold cauldron with the dragon pattern of the Jidao Emperor's weapon flew out of the holy land and disappeared.
