Chapter 308 The root cause

This time in the dream, two lives followed each other, five thousand years before and after. With a time difference of a hundred times, the current life is also over half a century old.

In this way, the virtual spirit cave is in the sky, and the Liang Kingdom cultivates the world.

"Boy, run, run!"

"Am I running?"

"Damn Tianshu Sect, I've recorded this account!"

A chase takes place in the mountains.

A ray of escape light swept in front of him. He could escape when encountering the earth, hide when encountering wood, and dive when encountering water. Although it was only a small five-element escape technique, he used it to the extreme, and finally threw away several monks who were chasing behind him.

After throwing away the pursuers, he emerged from the light. It was a young man. His face was unshaven and full of traces of vicissitudes of life. After landing, he didn't even bother to breathe. He poured a bottle of elixir into his mouth and started to meditate.

After a long time, he regained his magic power and exhaled a breath of turbidity.

"call!"

"At last the foundation was not damaged!"

"It's his grandma's fault. Why am I so unlucky that I can bump into those remnants of the Tianshu Sect everywhere?"

"It's not like you are a failure. You are still a golden elixir in your seventies and eighties. I have already condensed infants at your age, and I can even defeat the gods. How can I be like you, being chased by several golden elixirs!"

Facing the dejected Xiao Miao, Mr. Zhen attacked him mercilessly.

Regarding this, Xiao Miao simply said: "What can I do? Ningying needs to overcome the tribulation. The Liang Kingdom is so big, and I can't find anyone to protect the law. If he is injured during the tribulation, someone can take advantage of him..."

"So you are still disappointed. If you can learn my skills well, then even if you can't resist ninety-nine tribulations like that old ghost, resisting four-nine tribulations is still trivial. There is no need to be afraid of this. That?"

"Yes, yes, I'm useless. I can't support the wall with mud. I've lost your face."

Faced with the old man's words, Xiao Miao simply chose to show off: "It would be great if Qingyu Mountain was still there. If the sky falls, there will be tall people to support it. Why do we little people need to worry?"

Fifty years ago, during the Tianshu Sect's battle, the powerful "Stone King" who was so powerful in the Liang Kingdom disappeared, and Qingyu Mountain and its descendants also disappeared. The Liang Kingdom's cultivation world fell into a state of ownerlessness again, with potential for chaos.

Fortunately, Qingyu Mountain plowed the caves and drove out the evil cultivators, which shocked people's hearts and left a lingering influence to this day. Therefore, in the end, there was no chaos in the world. Several major golden elixir forces rose up and re-established the order of the cultivators. Although there were disputes from time to time, they managed to do so. It's still peaceful, but my belt is getting tighter.

Unfortunately, this peace only belongs to the ignorant!

Xiao Miao is not in this group, because he knows very well what kind of wolves and tigers are waiting outside the Void Spirit Cave.

For this reason, he has been eager to improve his strength to cope with the upcoming changes in the Void Spirit Cave.

However, the time is too short, and no matter how hard we try, it is difficult to achieve results. Recently, we have provoked the remnants of the Tianshu Sect who had narrowly escaped in the past. Although their cultivation has reached the golden elixir, they dare not condense the infant to survive the tribulation.

What a miserable word.

While Xiao Miao was lamenting.

"call!"

The breeze blew by, and the atmosphere in the mountains suddenly changed.

"!!!"

Xiao Miao's eyes suddenly shrank, her body stiffened, and she looked at the person in front of her with unspeakable astonishment.

"Shi, Dharma King Shi?"

Xiao Miao stood frozen on the ground, in disbelief.

Xu Yang stepped forward and said with a chuckle: "Fellow Taoist, can you show up to see me?"

"Fellow?!"

Xiao Miao's eyes narrowed, and she woke up with a start. She looked at the person in front of her, hesitating in her heart and about to move her legs.

Although he didn't know whether the person in front of him was real or fake, he could be sure that the other person's Taoist friend was not talking to him.

If it's not him, that's...

Xiao Miao's heart skipped a beat, and she even panicked and wanted to run away.

"Don't waste your energy, we can't escape."

At this moment, a sigh came, stopping Xiao Miao's movements.

Xiao Miao was shocked and asked, "How did he find out?"

"If you want others to not know, you have to do nothing yourself. I have helped you so many times, how can there be no traces left? If this person can do it, I will understand it clearly, not to mention seeing the fire."

Mr. Zhen sighed and said quietly: "Let me out. He should not be hostile."

"That's...okay!"

Xiao Miao hesitated for a while, but finally agreed, then raised her hand and released a spiritual light.

The spiritual light flashed, the figure formed, and soon an old man in white robe appeared.

"I, Xuanzhen, have met fellow Taoist!"

The old man bowed and said his name.

Xu Yang smiled and got straight to the point: "I have many difficult questions, so I came here to ask my Taoist friends abruptly. I apologize for my rudeness."

Xuanzhen shook his head: "My Taoist friend is serious. I, a young disciple, have received so much kindness from my Taoist friend, but I really can't repay it. If you have any questions, my Taoist friend, even if you tell me, I will definitely tell you everything I know!"

"this……"

Xiao Miao stood by, watching the two of them, and was amazed in his heart. After so many years of getting along, it was the first time that he saw Mr. Zhen being so polite. He was completely different from the old guy who used to be full of vulgar words.

Sure enough, whether one is vulgar or not depends on the person he is treating. For this King Shi, he was very moral.

"Since fellow Taoist said this, I am presumptuous."

Xu Yang smiled and said directly: "To be fair to fellow Taoists, Pindao is not a cultivator from the Northern Territory. He ended up living here by chance. He knows nothing about the Void Spirit Cave and the outside world, so he came to ask fellow Taoists for advice."

"oh!?"

Although he had such conjectures in his mind, Xuanzhen was still a little surprised when he heard what Xu Yang said: "Isn't your fellow Taoist a cultivator from the Northern Territory?"

Xu Yang nodded: "Not bad!"

Xuanzhen looked puzzled: "How come you ended up in this Void Spirit Cave?"

Xu Yang shook his head and said quietly: "It is inconvenient to disclose this matter. I hope fellow Taoist friends can forgive me."

"I am being abrupt."

Xuanzhen also felt that he had made a mistake, apologized, and changed the subject: "Since fellow Taoist is not a cultivator from the Northern Territory, I will introduce him to you."

"The Northern Territory is one of the five realms in the human world, and it is also a large realm of cultivation. Hundreds of tribes in the region stand side by side, and hundreds of schools of thought contend. The three tribes of humans, monsters, and demons are the most respected among the hundreds of tribes, and the three religions of Taoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism are the leaders of the hundreds of tribes..."

Xuanzhen narrated in a deep voice, describing to Xu Yang the situation of cultivating the world in the Northern Territory.

Hundreds of races and schools of thought contend!

Three tribes of humans, demons, and three religions: Taoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism!

There are also many foreign races, as well as hundreds of schools of thought, heresies, and many inheritances, all competing with each other.

What a world of cultivation!

"Among the three religions, Dao is the leader, Xuan is the sect, and Immortal is the respected one!"

"The ten major holy places in the Northern Territory have six avenues. They are the authentic sect of Xuanmen and the inheritance of true immortals. They contain the immortal truths of Mahayana and even transcending tribulations, as well as the ancestors of the upper world, who have profound merits and prosperous luck. They have been passed down to this day. The incense has flourished for hundreds of thousands of years!”

"The destiny of the remaining four sects is divided by Buddhism and Confucianism. The two sects of Buddhism and Confucianism are also huge!"

"This Void Spirit Cave is related to the Five Elements Immortal Sect, one of the six holy places."

Xuanzhen's words revealed the key point.

"Five Elements Immortal Sect?"

Xu Yang's eyes narrowed and he asked in a deep voice: "How do you explain it?"

"hey-hey!"

Xuanzhen grinned, finally showing his true face, and said with a gossipy face: "This has to start with the Five Elements Immortal Sect's treasure, the Five Directions Merit Pool."

"This Five Directions Merit Pool is ranked seventh level. It is a top-grade immortal weapon. It can absorb the essence of heaven and earth, contain the essence of the five elements, and turn it into a pool of water. Even a mortal without spiritual roots can soak in it. It can also be reborn and acquire five elements spiritual roots that are comparable to high-grade heavenly spirits.”

"If you originally have the Five Elements Spiritual Root, you can purify it and promote it to the Five Elements Spiritual Body. Like the Big Dipper Star Body of the Beidou Immortal Sect and the Great Sun Fire Body of the Great Sun Immortal Sect, they are both top-notch spiritual bodies with extraordinary spiritual practices. The speed is extraordinary, and there are no bottlenecks before the combination, and it is even possible to enter the Mahayana."

"This Five Directions Merit Pool can cultivate the Five Elements Spiritual Body. It is an important inheritance tool and the foundation. It is also the key to the Five Elements Immortal Sect's hundreds of thousands of years of glory."

"But just a thousand years ago, a traitor appeared in the Five Elements Immortal Sect!"

Xuanzhen said vividly: "This traitor is Lord Xu Ling. This man is extremely talented and has an innate Five Elements Spirit Body. He was introduced to the Five Elements Immortal Sect early on and was established as the Holy Son."

"This man has lived up to expectations. He entered the realm of unity at the age of three thousand, even surpassing the saint sons of other holy places. It is said that he is expected to enter the Mahayana before the age of five thousand, adding another immortal to the Five Elements Immortal Sect!"

"But such a holy son who was highly expected by the public ended up betraying the Five Elements Immortal Sect."

After saying that, Xuanzhen smiled and looked at Xu Yang: "Fellow Taoist, do you know the reason?"

Xu Yang groaned, then said: "But it has something to do with the Five Directions Merit Pool?"

"good!"

Xuanzhen nodded: "I don't know where Lord Xu Ling got an adventure. He actually bought a five-element fairy tree of high-grade fairy level. It is said that this tree can bear five-element fairy fruit. After taking it, the five-element spirit body will Transforming into the Five Elements Immortal Spirit Body, not only can one stably enter the Mahayana realm, but one can also hope to reach the realm of immortals in the future."

"Mr. Xu Ling was overjoyed to receive this spiritual root, but this spiritual root was not yet mature. If he wanted to form the Five Elements Immortal Fruit, he needed to be supported by the Five Elements rare treasures. As soon as he thought about it, Lord Xu Ling decided to focus on the Five Elements Merit Pool. .”

"But he couldn't say it clearly. After all, it was a thing that promised the path to immortality, so he used his identity as the Holy Son to secretly cultivate this Five Elements Immortal Spirit Root when he entered the Five Directions Merit Pool to practice."

"There were no problems at first, but as the Five Elements Fairy Spirit Tree grew day by day, the demand for the Five Elements treasures also grew. Finally, when it was about to mature, it actually penetrated the spring of the Five Directions Merit Pool and absorbed this The original power of high-grade immortal weapons.”

Xuanzhen said in a lively voice: "It's better now. When the incident happened, even the Tribulation Ancestor of the Five Elements Immortal Sect was alarmed. He hurried over, only to find that Lord Xu Ling had already brought the Five Elements Immortal Spirit Tree. He fled, and the Five Directions Merit Pool was left with a big hole, his origin was greatly damaged, and his rank was greatly reduced."

"When the ancestors of the Five Elements Immortal Sect saw this, they were furious. The two Mahayana Immortals rushed out in hot pursuit, intending to capture Lord Xu Ling, take back the Five Elements Immortal Spirit Tree, and repair the damage to the Five Directions Merit Pool."

"But Lord Xu Ling is also a genius. With many means, he managed to escape the pursuit of the two Mahayana. Although he was seriously injured to death in the end, he still arranged this Xu Ling Cave."

Although he is a soul, Xuan Zhen still took a breath when he said this: "This Xu Ling Cave was arranged by Lord Xu Ling. It not only contains all the treasures of Lord Xu Ling, but also the things that Lord Xu Ling encountered by chance. The Five Elements Immortal Root and an ancient immortal mansion contain countless treasures."

"The Five Elements Immortal Sect has been looking for the whereabouts of Lord Xu Ling. The major holy places in the northern region are also very interested in this. There are even rumors circulating among the people, attracting cultivators from all walks of life to explore everywhere. I am one of them."

Xuanzhen's eyes turned cold, with a hint of hatred: "I also have the Five Elements Spiritual Root. Although I have not become a member of the Five Elements Immortal Sect, I have made great achievements based on it. I have also mastered the formation method, which is also the best in the Northern Territory. Considered number one."

"But how could he be so ignorant and ignorant of people that he met Zhou Tianshu, the sanctimonious and ambitious son of the Beidou Immortal Sect!"

Xuanzhen gritted his teeth and said in a cold voice: "This man is sanctimonious and ambitious. He once explored the ruins of the Immortal Mansion that Lord Xu Ling encountered by chance, so he deliberately made friends with me and then took me to the ruins of the Immortal Mansion."

"Although all the treasures in the ruins of the Immortal Mansion have been taken away by Lord Xu Ling, there is still a technique engraved on the Immortal Monument. It is something that cannot be moved, so it was left behind."

"Then Zhou Tianshu and the others brought me here, and asked me to practice the skills on the Immortal Tablet, and then use them to sense the location of the Five Elements Immortal Spirit Root, and finally found the Void Spirit Cave!"

"Subsequently, this man, together with the two fused old ghosts who were protecting him, destroyed the old man's physical body and shattered his soul. Only this residual soul was left, which was stored in a rare treasure and flowed into the world. This is the Void Spirit Cave."

Xuanzhen took a breath and looked at Xu Yang again: "This is the origin of Xuling Cave and me."

"I see."

Xu Yang nodded and asked again: "What about the Five Elements Cultivation Technique spread among the cultivators of Liang Kingdom?"

Xuanzhen smiled bitterly and said: "It is the inheritance of the Five Elements Immortal Sect. That Zhou Tianshu ordered his disciples to spread these techniques, hoping to use them to lead to the Five Elements Immortal Mansion hidden by Lord Xu Ling, or the re-cultivation body of Lord Xu Ling, but I It seems that his efforts are in vain, no matter how bad Lord Xu Ling is, he will not be fished out by such means."

In this regard, Xu Yang did not comment and only said: "I am also interested in this technique. I wonder if you are willing to teach it. I can exchange the same technique. In addition, there are some magic pills here..."

After saying that, he swept his sleeves and robes, and many spiritual objects appeared.

When Xuanzhen saw this, he had a troubled expression on his face: "To be honest with you fellow Taoist, that Immortal Monument has great magical power to restrict the soul, and it is not allowed to spread its skills to outsiders. Therefore, I can only tell you the location of the Immortal Monument, and there is really nothing else I can do."

His words were calm, but he still felt nervous. Xiao Miao, who was beside him, secretly clenched his fists, fearing that the Master Stone in front of him would turn against him and search for the souls of their master and disciple.

"That's such a shame."

When Xu Yang heard this, he also sighed: "Thank you so much, fellow Taoist, for clarifying my doubts. Let me take these as a return gift."

After saying that, he swept out a bunch of spiritual objects and landed them in front of Xiao Miao.

"this……"

Xiao Miao looked at the magic weapons and elixirs in front of her, looking nervous and at a loss.

Xuanzhen smiled bitterly, cupped his hands and said, "Fellow Taoist is indeed a true cultivator of morality, which is admirable."

Xu Yang smiled and didn't say much: "Pindao captured a group of Tianshu monks before and learned through the soul search method that the matter of the Void Spirit Cave has been exposed. Now the outside world is turbulent, heroes are gathering, and the major holy places in the Northern Territory are... Everyone has heard the news and came here. After the Void Spirit Cave is opened, there will be a big battle, and fellow Taoists have been prepared for it."

After saying that, without waiting for the two of them to react, he flicked his sleeves and hands, causing the clouds to rise and the fog to rise, and he rode the wind and swayed away.

"this……"

Looking at the figure that was getting further and further away and finally hidden in the sky, Xiao Miao and Xuan Zhen looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment.

How could this Dharma King Shi be so free and easy, coming and leaving whenever he said he wanted?

Doesn't he care about Lord Xu Ling's Immortal Mansion's legacy, the Five Elements Immortal Spirit Root that makes all the major holy places and the combined Mahayana take notice?

Is this person a cultivator?
