Inside the cave.
After Zhang Yao turned over "Taiyi Mingguang Zhenlu", he still didn't notice any hidden secrets.
"Maybe my thinking is wrong..."
He pondered for a moment and gradually turned his attention to the origin of Taoist Wanhe.
According to Li Changlin's explanation, the demon cultivator couple and Taoist Wanhe were both members of the same demon cultivator organization, the Illuminati.
Could it be that the old demon cultivator from the Hu family was also a member of the Illuminati? Is this "Taiyi Mingguang True Record" and the matching spiritual weapon one of their symbols?
"If this hypothesis is true, then the power of the Illuminati is extremely amazing."
"Judging from the performance of those demon cultivators from the Hu family back then, perhaps even the forces under the command of Patriarch Tangshan were just part of the Illuminati..."
After Zhang Yao thought for a while, he shook his head secretly and suppressed the matter for the time being.
He only had some vague clues in his hand, and without more intuitive intelligence, it would be difficult to continue tracing.
And from the current point of view, the main scope of activities of the Illuminati should not be within the territory of Dali, and it has little to do with him, and he is not prepared to delve into it further.
"The top priority is to continue to promote the bloodline test and gather the six directions of true blood as soon as possible."
As soon as Zhang Yao thought about this, he put away the jade slips, got up and went to the quiet room.
A few days later.
Zhang Yao had finished his practice for the day and was conducting a blood test when he suddenly noticed that the formation outside the cave had been touched.
"Um?"
He reached out with his spiritual thoughts and heard a familiar voice:
"The leader of the meeting is me."
"Lao Peng, wait a moment."
Zhang Yao responded, immediately stopped the experiment, and hurried to the entrance of the cave.
Peng Yuexian and Zhang Yao greeted each other, came to the front hall, seated the guests and hosts, and then said eagerly:
"Master, something big happened recently!"
"oh?"
When Zhang Yao heard this, his expression moved slightly and he asked:
"What's the matter? Please tell me carefully."
Peng Yue first composed himself, then subconsciously lowered his voice and said:
"In the Tianyin Mountain of Hongzhou in the north, a golden elixir war was suspected to have broken out two days ago!"
"What?!"
Zhang Yao was shocked, and his heart suddenly surged.
"Tianyin Mountain? Isn't that the location of Tiandu's secret treasure?"
"For the Golden Core War to break out, it must be that the secret secrets of Tiandu have been leaked... Could it be that there is a traitor among the remnants of Pingdu?"
Thoughts flashed rapidly in Zhang Yao's mind. His first thought was that there was a traitor in the Dongge or Xige faction.
After all, the existence of the Tiandu secret is very secretive, and only the foundation-building monks of the two sects know the news that the Five Elements Sanren relics may be hidden in it.
Only the relics of the Five Elements Sanren could lead to a fight between the Jindan ancestors.
"Um……"
Zhang Yao pondered for a moment and then asked cautiously:
"What about more specific news? Which two Jindan Patriarchs clashed, or was there more than two?"
"Why are they fighting, and who will win in the end?"
Peng Yuexian immediately spread his hands and said:
"Master, you think too highly of me."
"Northern Hongzhou is far away from Fangzhou. It would be great if I could get first-hand information. The more specific information is Two Eyes Black."
As he spoke, he added:
"But according to rumors, the Tianyin Mountains were turned into a piece of white ground for hundreds of miles around, and the mountains were almost flattened."
"The resulting earthquake affected most of Hongzhou's territory. It is said that the thunderous roar could be heard clearly from thousands of miles away."
"So it is certain that at least two Jindan ancestors took action, and the battle lasted for at least half an hour..."
Zhang Yao couldn't help but fell into deep thought after hearing this.
The sudden exposure of Tiandu's secrets also triggered the Jindan Patriarch to take action, which was indeed beyond his expectation.
However, although the Five Elements Sanren's relics may be of some help to his practice, he actually does not regard them as something that he must obtain. It is good to obtain them, but it does not matter if he cannot obtain them.
He had planned to use this news as a bargaining chip, and then wanted to wait until the formation method reached the third level before exploring the secrets of Tiandu, but now it seems that he has lost this opportunity.
"Forget it, I'm lucky if I get it, but I'm lucky if I lose it."
Zhang Yao remained calm and said casually:
"Then use the channels in the meeting and continue to try to get some information. But there is no need to force it, just go with the flow."
"After all, the war between the Jindan ancestors has little to do with us."
"I see."
Peng Yue nodded first and said:
"Then, sir, I will take my leave first."
…………
Within a few days:
The Battle of Tianyin Mountain spread throughout the entire Dali Immortal Realm, causing a huge sensation in the twenty-four continents.
There have been many speculations and discussions, and all kinds of random rumors and conspiracy stories are circulating everywhere, but there has never been any reliable inside information.
What's more, they even had the courage to run to the depths of Tianyin Mountain to watch the battlefields left over from the Golden Core Battle, and they all marveled at the vast magical powers of the Golden Core monks.
But the weird thing is:
The four major golden elixir factions, Lingyang Sect, Fuhai Sect, Dugu Family, and Shanhe Sect, were very secretive about this matter and did not make any response, as if this matter had never happened.
One day, two days... one month, two months...
Until half a year later, the matter finally gradually faded out of everyone's sight, and the number of discussions became less and less.
Ten years passed in a flash.
The original Battle of Tianyin Mountain has long been reduced to rumors and only a few monks occasionally mentioned it in casual conversations.
The Tianbao Tower Auction, which takes place once every ten years, is about to take place, and tens of thousands of monks from all over the world are flocking to Qianzhou.
Cangjiang Water Palace:
"Chiji..."
A monster fish with a swollen head and bulging eyes made a strange roar and struggled violently.
It didn't struggle for long before its eyes suddenly burst open, its whole body twitched, and turned into a pool of pus, completely dead.
"..."
Zhang Yao looked gloomy and slowly withdrew his magic power, feeling extremely bad.
After ten years of experiments, he had harmed countless monsters in the Cangjiang River, but he still failed to succeed.
After thousands of attempts, what awaited him was failure again and again. To this day, the process of promoting the bloodline of the demon clan is still stuck on the last step——
No matter how smooth the integration of vitality is, once it starts to catalyze the blood, distortion will definitely occur.
"Why……"
Zhang Yao sighed deeply, with a hint of exhaustion in his expression.
"To this day, I have not found a way to reverse the flesh and blood distortion."
"Unexpectedly, in the end, it was all in vain, and more than ten years of time were wasted..."
After more than ten years of experiments, he had tried every method he could think of, but they all failed.
In the end, he had no choice but to admit:
With his current vision, knowledge and methods, it is impossible to forcefully generate a bloodline level.
This means that the bloodline experiment can only be temporarily suspended. In the future, when his cultivation level is higher, his strength is stronger, and he has accumulated more, he may try to restart the experiment.
"But fortunately, it's not like I got nothing."
Zhang Yao reluctantly comforted himself:
"What is lost in the east is harvested in the mulberry tree."
The failure of the bloodline test meant that his plan to create foundation-building demon blood by himself was no longer feasible.
However, the experimental process, which lasted for more than ten years, yielded an unexpected surprise:
In the process of conducting experiments, he gained an in-depth understanding and mastery of the existence and operation principles of vitality and essence, as well as the secrets of bloodline inheritance, and by the way developed a brand new Taoist method - septicemia.
In short, septicemia is a Tao method that uses the transition and fusion of vitality to actively cause flesh and blood distortion.
This Taoist method is almost indefensible like the 'One Heart, One Fate Curse'. If the two cooperate with each other, they can have miraculous effects and be able to hide everything.
"Guild Master!"
Outside the cave door, a respectful voice came:
"It's almost time. Let me remind you that it's time to leave for Qianzhou."
"good."
Zhang Yao responded and said spiritually:
"Ask Lao Peng and the others to wait for a moment, I'll be there right away."
Ten years later, the GCC has also gained two new foundation-building members.
One is a casual Foundation Establishment cultivator recruited from outside, and he is considered diligent; the other is a core member trained by his family. He got the opportunity to swallow the Foundation Establishment Pill during internal competition and was successfully promoted to a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
"call!"
Zhang Yao took a deep breath, slowly adjusted his breath and magic energy, and then turned around and walked towards the entrance of the cave.
Ten years of hard work have made him greatly improve his magic power. Now he is not far from the middle stage of foundation building, and he will be able to break through in another three years at most.
"The bloodline test failed, and the monsters in Cangjiang who have perfected their Qi refining skills still show no signs of breakthrough."
In Zhang Yao's mind, he kept thinking:
"The hope of gathering the last true blood seems to have to be put at a big auction..."
…………
A few days later.
Zhang Yao led many foundation-building monks from the GCC to the Tianbao Tower headquarters again.
Floor 325:
When Zhang Yao went to visit Master Haihe, he discovered that his aura had become unfathomable. He was slightly surprised before he realized what he was doing.
"Congratulations to the real person, you have completed the foundation construction."
Zhang Yao congratulated sincerely:
"Nowadays, a real person is only one step away from the realm of golden elixir!"
Master Haihe smiled, waved his hand and said:
"What's one step away? It's still a long way."
"I have just reached Foundation Establishment Consummation. If I want to reach the Golden Core Realm, it will take at least twenty or thirty years of hard work."
He said, paused, and then said:
"Actually, I broke through to the realm not long ago. I should have continued to cultivate and consolidate my realm in the mountain gate."
"I came here this time mainly because I was ordered by my master to urge Yuwentai to fulfill his agreement and personally refine the 'Qianyuan Solid Forming Pill' for me."
When he said this, his tone was very calm, but a hint of resistance could still be heard.
"I see……"
Hearing this, Zhang Yao showed a hint of understanding and understood Master Haihe's mood very well.
The Qianyuan Shaping Pill is a third-level spiritual elixir, its value is inestimable. Only Yuwentai in the whole of Dali can refine it, which is of great help in achieving the golden elixir.
But Yuwentai was still his enemy. To be fair, he really didn't want this elixir, but it was a pity that he had no choice.
If he wants to take revenge, he must achieve the realm of the Golden Pill. This 'Qianyuan Solid Form Pill' is an indispensable treasure.
"Qingxu, I just happen to be here."
Master Haihe looked at him with a hint of sincerity:
"Why don't you accompany me to meet Yu Wentai."
"I hope you can forgive me. I really don't want to meet Yu Wentai alone..."
"this……"
Zhang Yao hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded and said:
"Okay then, I'll go with Zhenren."
He and Yu Wentai also had some grudges, but they were not serious.
The two sides haven't broken up yet, and he's not worried that Yu Wentai will suddenly lose his mind and go crazy and take action against him and Master Haihe.
"Okay, thank you very much."
Upon hearing this, Master Haihe suddenly showed a hint of gratitude.
The two tidied up a bit, then got up and left the room together, walking through the corridor.
Zhang Yao and Zhenren Haihe chatted while walking, and soon they talked about the Battle of Tianyin Mountain ten years ago.
"...Actually, I know a little bit about the inside story."
Master Haihe said, then quietly transmitted the message:
"The ones who took action in Tianyin Mountain were my master, Ancestor Wanchuan, and Ancestor Zhenyang of Lingyang Sect."
"The two of them fought over a treasure deep in Tianyin Mountain."
When Zhang Yao heard this, his heart moved, and he also responded via voice transmission:
"Then who won in the end?"
There was a faint look of pride on Master Haihe's face:
"Of course my master won."
"The two fought for half an hour. In the end, Ancestor Zhenyang was defeated by my master's magical power and retreated in defeat."
As he spoke, he paused for a moment, with a look of disgust in his eyes:
"Actually, the incident itself was caused by a former remnant of Pingdu. He became a traitor and betrayed his fellow disciples in order to seek glory and wealth."
"This man is also here at this big auction. If we meet him then, just ignore him. They are all villains anyway."
Zhang Yao's expression moved slightly, he nodded and said:
"I see."
"However, that remnant of Pingdu betrayed his fellow disciples and provoked a fight between the two Jindan Ancestors. Could it be that he eats both?"
Master Haihe snorted coldly and sent a message from his spiritual mind:
"If he, a mere remnant of Pingdu, dared to play with the two golden elixirs like this, he would have been crushed to ashes long ago."
"Actually, someone in his opponent's family had the same idea as him. Taking advantage of the opening of the big auction and the influx of many southwest foundations into Dali, he crossed the border and came to Dali."
"But they made different choices. One chose me, the Fuhai Sect, and the other chose the Lingyang Sect."
"So that's it..."
When Zhang Yao heard this, he suddenly realized.
After a long time of fighting, it was not a traitor who appeared, but traitors from both the Dongge and Xige factions at the same time, which led to the outbreak of the Tianyin Mountain battle.
The two took advantage of the conversation and quickly arrived at another part of the floor.
After Master Haihe explained the whole story, the person in charge of foundation building on this floor immediately reported it to the higher ups and got a reply soon.
"Master Haihe and Master Qingxu."
There was a hint of respect on the face of the foundation-building leader:
"The host is already aware of your visit and is waiting for you on the top floor."
