Inside Chongxian Pavilion.
Green smoke curled up from the copper stove, and the figure of the young Taoist appeared vividly on the paper.
Emperor Zhao Hechu of Liang Dynasty knelt down on the futon, prostrated sincerely, and murmured some words.
"I also hope that the Immortal Master will bless me that Daliang will have good weather and that the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe..."
Meeting an immortal on a lake when he was young can be said to have changed his life's destiny.
Ever since he conquered the country and secured his throne, he has often come here to worship and pray, just for peace of mind.
At this stage, he has already reached the top of the world in terms of martial arts and power. Only in front of this portrait of an immortal can he find some comfort and spiritual support.
"This boy has not forgotten his roots..."
A few steps away, Zhang Yao stood with his hands behind his back, maintaining his invisibility spell, watching the scene quietly.
"The secrets of heaven are unpredictable and the world is full of wonders..."
He couldn't help but feel a little emotion in his heart.
Today, Daliang has nineteen states, and Zhao Hechu has become the master of the world. He also canonized the Qingping Sect as the state religion and is the prime minister of the Taoism of the world.
Who would have thought that the original Qingping Palace could become the state religion? And could the descendant of the martial arts master he worshiped become the founding emperor of a dynasty?
"There are benefits to living a long life. While you can see thousands of mountains and rivers, you can also read the passage of time and the ups and downs of the world..."
Zhang Yao's heart once again felt touched and understood about the situation of longevity.
"gone."
After he realized it quietly, seeing that Zhao Hechu was still worshiping, he turned around and walked out of Chongxian Pavilion.
There are differences between immortals and mortals. The fate between the two parties is limited to a chance encounter and a few years ago. Zhang Yao is not prepared to meet each other again, so as not to cause more troubles.
Walking all the way through the palace:
Thanks to his huge spiritual power, he covered half of the imperial city. After patrolling the sky for a few times, he locked onto what he was looking for.
After a while, Zhang Yao came to a huge palace deep in the imperial city. This was a place under the jurisdiction of the Guangzhou Division, which mainly collected some ancient documents of little use.
"rustle……"
The palace was empty except for a few young eunuchs, who were feebly sweeping.
Zhang Yao came to a bookshelf and pulled out a classic book called "Dalu Tianjia Jade Disc Examination Book (Copy)".
This book is one of the copies of the genealogy that records the Yuwen family of the royal family of the former Lu State. It is the original version. It has been hundreds of years old. It is rare that it has survived the war and is still so well preserved.
"found it!"
Zhang Yao opened the book and didn't read two pages before his expression condensed and he found the key record.
Yu Wenze, the founding emperor of the Lu Kingdom in the previous dynasty, and his wife Liu Yue had been married for thirty years and had nothing to do. They had two sons and one daughter until they were approaching old age. The eldest son was named Yu Wenguang and the second son was named Yu Wenhong.
Yu Wenhong has three sons, the youngest of whom is named Yu Wentai!
"Emperor Sun Tai was born in the ninth year of Tianhe. He had a vision. His mother, Princess Qi, dreamed of a rainbow and became pregnant at night. She was able to speak at the age of one, could read and decipher at the age of two, and grew up to be three years old... "
In this "Dalu Tianjia Jade Disc Examination Book", there are quite detailed records of the royal family of previous generations.
What’s surprising is:
Regarding Yuwentai, who had a strange vision and was very loved by his imperial grandfather Yuwenze and his father Qi Wang Yuwenhong, the relevant records suddenly stopped when he was six years old.
In the follow-up, it neither stated whether he died in infancy nor described his growth experience. It was just a vague sentence that passed by.
"It seems that this Yu Wentai is probably today's Tianbao Building Master..."
Zhang Yao unknowingly clenched the book tightly, his heart was filled with ups and downs.
A dignified grandson of the emperor suddenly disappeared from official records when he was six years old. It was probably because he had detected his spiritual talent and was taken to Hidden Mist Island by immortal cultivators from the Liu family.
Not only that:
Yuwentai's spiritual root talent should be quite outstanding, so that the people in power of the Liu family at that time placed their hopes on him and did not hesitate to use the spiritual stones stored in the family to provide him with training, for fear of delaying him.
But after confirming his origin, the two doubts that had been placed in front of Zhang Yao became increasingly obvious:
"Yuwentai was raised by the Liu family, but after he left the Lu country, why did he never come back and completely ignore the Liu family?"
"Also, did the Liu family have information about the earth-line spirit beads and didn't reveal it to him? Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain his behavior..."
Zhang Yao thought about it carefully and had some assumptions in his mind.
The existence of the Earth Line Spirit Pearl is the biggest secret of the Liu family, and it is mostly passed down from generation to generation. Just like later, after Wuyin Island was occupied by the Yuwen family, the only person in charge of the Earth Line Spirit Pearl and knowing its secrets was the island owner Yu Wenhua.
But back then, the Liu family had not yet declined, and Wuyin Island was still surnamed Liu.
The head of the Liu family at the time would not necessarily tell this secret to Yu Wenze, a person with a foreign surname. Even if the two parties were closely related by blood, there was still a layer of separation between them.
"This speculation can explain the second doubt, but it cannot explain the first."
"After Yu Wentai left the State of Lu, he ignored the Liu family and never came back to take a look. Could it be that he is really so heartless and ungrateful?"
Zhang Yao was quite confused when he thought of this.
It is not impossible to say that Yu Wentai is a heartless person, but how can such a selfish and solipsistic person be so sincere to Li Shuixian?
Judging from his treatment of Li Shuixian, he almost treated her as an heir and trained her up, sparing no effort to push her up.
He thought for a while, but still had no clue, so he changed his mind and thought:
"Perhaps there may be answers in those ancient books..."
When he first attacked Wuyin Island and annihilated the Yuwen family, he also seized many classics and jade slips.
Except for a few books that record exercises and spells, most of them contain clan secrets and internal records. Zhang Yao was not interested in these trivial matters, so he kept them on the shelf.
When he later left Kirigakure Island, he left these trivial items behind, which today seems to be an important piece of evidence.
"Let's go to Kirigakure Island first."
As soon as Zhang Yao thought about this, he immediately put away the classics in his hands and quietly left the imperial city.
"I hope the things on Kirigakure Island are still there..."
…………
Half an hour later.
Zhang Yao revisited his old place and returned to the depths of Baibo Lake.
He drove the escape light to the location of Kirigakure Island, and was surprised to find that the simple formation he had set up was still there, indicating that no one had ever been there.
"The world of immortal cultivation in the Lu country is really 'simple and honest'..."
Zhang Yao couldn't help but sigh when he saw this.
This is the State of Lu. The deterrent power of a mid-stage Qi refining person can last for decades. As long as it is not confirmed that the master is dead, no one will dare to take the risk.
Just like the Liu family back then, it was only after it had been in decline for a long time, and it was confirmed that even the last monk in the middle stage of Qi refining was dead, that the monks in Kong Qingchuan and Tiandu Mountain started to have inappropriate thoughts.
If this were placed in Dali, let alone a Qi Refining Monk, even if the Foundation Establishing Monk disappeared for decades without any reason, the lair would have been breached and turned upside down long ago.
"boom!"
Zhang Yao casually cast a spell, activated the somewhat broken formation, and flew into the island.
Looking around:
The original small Taoist temple is still there, but the interior has become obsolete due to the long-term lack of maintenance of the formations. The large spiritual field has been neglected for decades and has long been abandoned.
"As long as the things are still there."
Zhang Yao came to the Taoist temple, stretched out his hand, and several classics fell into his hands.
Thanks to the formations in the Taoist temple that have been running reluctantly, these classics made of ordinary materials have been well preserved, but the pages are a little yellowed.
"Crash..."
He flipped through the book very quickly, and after scanning it quickly with his spiritual mind, he quickly made a discovery.
One of the volumes, compiled by Yuwen family monks and similar to a family tree, clearly records Yuwentai’s deeds:
When he was six years old, he measured the aptitude of the earth spirit root. He was regarded as a key figure in the rise of the family, so he was taken to Kirigakure Island to be vigorously cultivated - and he was also the first person to be brought to Kirigakure Island to practice. A member of the Yuwen family.
Yu Wentai relied on a mediocre Kung Fu book, an extremely poor spiritual energy environment, no panacea, and only a few hundred spiritual stones. In less than ten years, he was able to reach the middle stage of Qi refining.
After breaking through to the middle stage of Qi refining, he bid farewell to many elders of the Liu family and went north alone to explore, and has never come back since.
The Yuwen family monks who compiled the classics also lamented the experience of this old ancestor. He believed that the outside world of immortal cultivation was too dangerous, which caused the old ancestor to accidentally fall away and die in a foreign country.
They probably never dreamed of:
Yu Wentai, who never came back, not only died incognito, but soared into the sky, accomplished great things and became famous in the hidden dragon and crouching tiger city of Dali.
"It's really him! The Yuwentai who came from the former royal family and practiced on Hidden Kiri Island!"
The thoughts in Zhang Yao's heart were ups and downs, and thoughts kept coming:
"It turns out that back then in the State of Lu... there was such a number one figure!"
Calculated according to time:
During the time when Yu Wentai was practicing on Wuyin Island, Zhang Yaocai had just stepped into the immortal sect and was still practicing hard in seclusion in the mountains of Fuzhou.
By the time he left Fuzhou and went to Tiandu Mountain to live in seclusion, Yuwentai had already left Lu for many years.
The eighty years of his immortal career in the Lu Kingdom happened to be the most critical time for Yu Wentai's rise - the two just missed each other and never met.
When Zhang Yao had enough fun and finally broke through to the fourth level of Qi Refining, he went to Weiguofang City and set foot in the real world of immortal cultivation for the first time. He ran into Tianbao Tower's Five Spiritual Roots Recruitment Order, leaving him A profound psychological shadow.
In the final analysis, the reason why Tianbao Tower issued that recruitment order was because of what he, a fellow countryman, did.
"There is nothing more mysterious than this in the creation of nature. It is really the destiny of time!"
Zhang Yao sighed, feeling mixed emotions in his heart.
After he calmed down, he began to sort out the matter from beginning to end.
First of all, Yuwentai must have a deep understanding of the Five Elements Secret Realm, so he can easily discover the secret realm, win the trust of several Jindan ancestors, and even lead the subsequent exploration operations.
So where did his understanding come from?
Is it from the Liu family on Wuyin Island, or is it the experience of wandering in Dali?
"If it's the latter, then unless he admits it himself, it's almost impossible to deduce the truth."
"Moreover, no one from the twenty-four continents of Dali, and from generation to generation of monks, has been able to obtain even a scale claw about the secret realm of the Five Elements. He just went to Dali and got the top-secret information after a short trip to Dali. The chance is too small."
"Then if it's the former..."
Zhang Yao fell into deep thought and frowned slightly.
The origins of the Liu family are mysterious. It is not impossible to say that there are top secrets related to the Five Elements Secret Realm, but the probability is really slim.
After all, for two thousand years, if the Liu family could really pass down the relevant secrets, then it would be unlikely that it would be Yu Wentai's turn to open the Five Elements Secret Realm.
Besides, Yu Wentai didn't even know about the existence of the Earth Meridian Spirit Pearl. How could the Liu family reveal this top secret to him?
While Zhang Yao was thinking, a sudden flash of inspiration made him make a bold guess:
"Could it be that... I got the cause and effect wrong?"
He always believed that Yu Wentai discovered the existence of the secret realm after he had a deep understanding of the Five Elements Secret Realm.
Is it possible that he discovered the secret realm first, and only after entering the secret realm did he get a lot of relevant information and have a deep understanding of it?
After all, no one else was present when he discovered the secret realm. He took the initiative to publicize it and then dedicated it to the top of Tianbao Tower. It is entirely possible that he had entered in advance.
Zhang Yao suddenly became enlightened when he thought of this.
"If we really want to speculate from this perspective..."
If Yuwentai can still open the secret realm of the Five Elements after two thousand years without any understanding, then the key he can use can only be one thing - blood!
Is it possible that Yu Wentai is a descendant of the Five Elements Sanren who happened to open the secret realm by relying on his own blood?
If inferred from this perspective, everything seems to make sense.
"Even, could it be the reason why he suddenly accepted Li Shuixian as his direct disciple?"
In Zhang Yao's mind, sparks of thought flickered, and he instantly thought of things farther away.
The blood spell on Li Shuixian meant that her bloodline was once very powerful, which Zhang Yao had only seen in his life.
He also deduced at that time that her ancestor was a great person - what if her ancestor was a Five Elements Sanren?
The original descendants of the San people of the Five Elements were a huge family. Although they were apparently exterminated, there may not be any fish that slipped through the net. After so many years of inheritance and reproduction, it is common for them to disperse to various places and change their surnames.
From this point of view, it is understandable that Yu Wentai accepted Li Shuixian as his personal disciple, trained him carefully, and even treated him like an heir.
"When you think about it, it's really possible!"
"Is this the truth?!"
Zhang Yao was silent, and after repeated deductions, he still found a loophole - there was no blood spell in the Yuwen family.
There are only two possibilities:
First, in the long history, someone helped one of their ancestors to completely remove the blood curse. However, due to the long-term lapse of monks, the blood level of the Yuwen family has long fallen and there is no way to recover.
Second, the Yuwen family is not the descendant of the Five Elements Sanren at all, and Yuwentai’s secret information comes from another source.
"Which one will this be..."
