Taixuanzong is located in the southwest of Dayuanzhou, and its sphere of influence is extremely broad. Especially after having a monk in the transformation stage, it continues to expand. Its territory is close to one-third of Dayuanzhou, and Qingyunmen Not much different.
There are six cave heavens in the core area of Taixuan Sect, each of which is home to countless disciples' caves. The areas outside also have many spiritual veins, and are stationed by the immortal cultivating families and some small sects affiliated with Taixuan Sect.
These small forces mainly provide Taixuan Sect with highly qualified disciples and provide various miscellaneous services.
Among the six cave heavens, the one with the most aura is a vibrant circular valley, which is filled with all kinds of lush vegetation, with birds singing and flowers fragrant, and pure wood-attribute aura floating in it.
In the center of the valley, stood a towering ancient tree with a diameter of tens of feet and a height of more than two hundred feet. Its branches and leaves were lush, covering an area for several miles.
This ancient tree is surrounded by countless green clouds, and from time to time it exudes the idea of nourishment and endless life. Under its influence, the entire valley is full of vitality.
This valley is the Qingyuan Valley, the holy land of Taixuan Sect. The Qingyuan ancient trees in it have survived since ancient times and have a history of more than 60,000 years.
Qingyuan Valley is the training place for all the Supreme Elders of Taixuan Sect. Gu Deming entered the stage of becoming a god, so he naturally settled here.
On this day, sitting on a branch of the Qingyuan Ancient Tree, was a young man wearing a light green robe. He had long black hair, a handsome face, and no breath in his body. He looked like a man in his twenties. Mortal man.
The only weird thing is that there are several light green mist lingering outside its body, giving people a sense of mystery.
This young man is Gu Deming, the contemporary Supreme Elder of Taixuan Zong. He is holding a wooden teacup and gently sipping the tea inside.
On the tea table in front of him, there was a yellow bird, which cleverly fiddled with the tea leaves with its beak, and sent them little by little to the teapot. Then it flapped its little wings slightly, and a red flame flashed through, and the teapot erupted. The heat came out.
Putting the tea cup down, Gu Deming said, "So, within a few years, our sect has lost two great monks and eight Nascent Soul stage elders?"
Standing respectfully behind him was a white-haired middle-aged man, the Great Elder of Taixuan Sect, Mo Hongcai.
When he heard this voice without emotion or joy, cold sweat broke out on his forehead unconsciously. He bit the bullet and said: "Yes, uncle."
When Gu Deming heard this, he didn't say anything. He tapped the tea table twice. The yellow bird picked up the teapot and filled it with tea for him. After drinking another cup of tea, he said slowly: "What's going on with Master Nephew Qingyang? Soon I sensed it before. He used up all the essence of the Hunyuan Gourd and also aroused a large amount of heaven and earth energy. Even if he was besieged by several great monks, he would not fall."
Mo Hongcai said with a somewhat solemn expression: "Uncle Master, maybe it's because of the Corpse King in Zhongming Mountain."
As he spoke, a brocade box appeared in his hand, and a wisp of light green mist swirled around, gently rolling up the brocade box and bringing it to Gu Deming.
Light green mist poured into it along the gap, and Gu Deming's face darkened: "The tenth-level silver-armored corpse contains the wind attribute aura, it is the silver-winged yaksha!"
Mo Hongcai nodded and said: "When my nephew went to investigate, only the broken scales and flesh and blood of the Silver-winged Yaksha were left in Chixia Mountain. In addition, there was another corpse energy remaining, but it was only at the ninth level. .”
"Originally, only those junior brothers' soul cards were broken. Junior Brother Qingyang was still fine. The nephew thought that the junior brother was chasing the enemy. But after half a day, his soul cards were also..."
Gu Deming frowned and said: "Senior nephew Qingyang has the Hunyuan Gourd in his hand. The silver-winged Yaksha will not be his opponent, let alone the ninth-level silver-armored corpse. From this point of view, there may be other corpse kings taking action."
Mo Hongcai was a little puzzled and said: "Uncle Master, there is no enmity between Taixuan Sect and Zhongming Mountain. Why are they going against us? There seems to be something fishy in it."
Gu Deming took a sip of tea and said: "In addition to relying on the power of coldness to practice, these zombies also need spiritual energy. The environment of Zhongming Mountain has led to their great demand for spiritual stones."
"Those corpse kings have reached the tenth level peak after so many years. If the breakthrough method of the silver-armored corpses is followed, they need to devour the Nascent Soul of the monks in the transformation stage before they can cross the threshold and enter the next great realm. "
"Unfortunately, with their strength, facing the cultivators of the Transformation Stage, they are like a mantis trying to make a breakthrough. In order to seek a breakthrough, they set their sights on the best spiritual stones. They want to use a large number of the best spiritual stones to absorb the vitality inside and try to break through."
Mo Hongcai hesitated and said: "But Uncle Master, judging from the previous visions of Chixia Mountain, there were at most two top-quality spiritual stones. If it were before, this would have been possible, but now that Uncle Master is in charge, it is unlikely that Zhongming Mountain will be the best." Because they are against us."
"Could it be caused by other forces?"
Gu Deming stood up slowly, waved his sleeves, and the coffee table disappeared. The yellow bird landed on his shoulder. He snorted coldly and said: "I will investigate the specific reasons. The treasure of Hunyuan Gourd must be To get it back, Zhongmingshan is involved, so we should hammer it."
Mo Hongcai said excitedly: "Uncle Master will definitely catch the murderer if he takes action himself."
Gu Deming added: "Yes, have you investigated the matter at the Body Refining Pavilion?"
Mo Hongcai showed a bit of embarrassment and said: "Uncle Master, Junior Brother Peng had the Xuanqing Ruler in his hand, but he died accidentally. The Soul Card accompanying the Yuanying Stage elders was also shattered. In addition, Uncle Master went to the Broken Kingdom. We …”
Gu Deming waved his hand and said: "If I were you, I wouldn't go there easily. When the matter at Zhongming Mountain is settled, I will go there in person. You must remember that the matter of the Body Refining Pavilion is not allowed to be spread. This kind of magic Other sects cannot know about your body-training techniques."
Mo Hongcai nodded, and then said with some hesitation: "By the way, uncle, not long ago, my nephew found out about the Holy Demon Sect, saying that it was its first elder Huang Chong, third elder Xue Tianyou, and a dozen Yuan Yingqi people. Elders, all fallen."
"The last news from Junior Brother Peng was that he was joining forces with the Holy Demon Sect to deal with the Body Refining Pavilion. Do you think..."
Gu Deming's eyes narrowed and he said: "Have all the members of the Holy Demon Sect fallen?"
A flash of light flashed in Mo Hongcai's hand, and a jade slip appeared. He handed it over respectfully and said, "The news came from the Shadow Pavilion. There are also images to prove it. Please take a look at it, uncle."
Gu Deming picked up the jade slip, and his expression became a little solemn: "The Body Refining Pavilion will kill all the elders of our sect and the Holy Demon Sect who enter the southwest world of immortality."
"Peng Yuanhua went to the Chu State, and the Holy Demon Sect is in the Qi State. If the Body Refining Pavilion can achieve such a level, except that there are no monks in the transformation stage, the overall strength is probably no less than this sect."
Mo Hongcai hesitated and said: "Uncle Master, could it be that the news about the Shadow Pavilion was released by the Body Refining Pavilion, and the death of Junior Brother Qingyang..."
Gu Deming looked at the jade slip in his hand and said thoughtfully: "There are magic weapons and sect tokens in it. The news about the Shadow Pavilion must have been provided by the Body Refining Pavilion. As for the death of Qingyang's nephew, it may be related to it."
Having said this, he ordered: "I will personally investigate the death of Senior Nephew Mo and Qingyang. During this period, please ask all the Yuan Ying stage elders in the sect to stay in the sect and not leave easily."
"When this matter is resolved and the Hunyuan Gourd is retrieved, I will personally go to the southwest."
Mo Hongcai said respectfully: "Yes, uncle."
Gu Deming waved his hand and said: "You go down. By the way, you must also restrain the disciples. They must not be arrogant and domineering because I have entered the stage of transformation."
The Great Elder of Taixuan Sect nodded in agreement, bowed, and took a few steps back before turning into a ray of light and leaving the Qingyuan Ancient Tree.
Gu Deming touched the yellow bird on his shoulder and said softly: "I'd like to trouble you to patrol the territory during this period."
The yellow bird nodded humanely, chirped twice, and a powerful demonic power flashed through, like a bolt of lightning, and disappeared.
Gu Deming's figure fluttered and walked to the tree trunk. The thick solid wood seemed to be nothing. He walked directly in. It was a medium-sized tree hole.
There is a wooden pier in the middle, and a gray-white dagger is suspended on it. The surface is densely covered with mysterious runes, and lines of mist with a green halo are surrounding it.
Gu Deming stretched out his palm and made a slight move. The dagger fell into his palm with great flexibility. He murmured: "Too many people have forgotten the power of our Hunyuan Sword..."
