Chapter 888 Lingbao Heavenly Palace
Lingbao Heavenly Palace, this name doesn't sound like some small fish.

According to the information provided by Qian Sen, Lingbao Heavenly Palace can be traced back to the Shang and Zhou dynasties, but this is only a historical record. In fact, its history may be traced directly back to the prehistoric period.

It is said that the ancestor of the Lei family once collected the essence of the Nine Provinces and refined a magic weapon with the purpose of becoming an immortal with the magic weapon.

Cultivators cultivate to become immortals, and their ultimate goal is to transcend the Three Realms and be outside the Five Elements, to shine with the sun and the moon, and to live as long as the heaven and earth.

But as high-sounding as it sounds, it is very abstract how to do it.

Ascension can't just be about flying high, right? If that were the case, astronauts would have become immortals long ago.

The Lei family's ancestors believed that ascending to heaven was as difficult as going to heaven, and it would be impossible without external assistance.

So they created the Lingbao Heavenly Palace, an artificial small heavenly palace to simulate the real heavenly palace, and then used it as a stepping stone to ascend to heaven and become immortals.

Of course, facts have proved that this so-called heavenly palace does not exist, at least not on Earth. The so-called using Lingbao Heavenly Palace as a stepping stone for the entire clan to ascend to heaven is nothing but a pipe dream.

However, that was not discovered until a long, long time later. When the Lingbao Heavenly Palace was being refined, everyone thought that this thing was reliable.

It is unknown how long it took and how much manpower and resources it took, but in the end, the Lingbao Heavenly Palace was refined. However, since the theory was wrong, it was of no use.

Since then, Lingbao Palace has always been the secret of the Lei family. It cannot be thrown away even if it is useless.

This is the end of the information Qian Sen provided. It was all hearsay and there was basically no solid evidence.

After all, this is the secret of the Lei family. If they don't tell anyone, the only way for the Ninth Department to obtain information is to hear from other cultivators.

But what is certain is that Lingbao Palace is extremely an eyesore to monsters.

"There are only a few of us, so we should just wait patiently for support."

Zhang Lei and Wu Yue both meant this. After all, they really have the will but not the ability. At most, they are just ordinary people carrying a small pistol. In a conflict against monsters that is comparable to a local war, they are not even qualified to be cannon fodder.

Of course, they both saw Liao Wenjing following behind Gan Xiaoyan, and they also knew that Liao Wenjing was a succubus, one of the high-level demons, which was quite awesome.

But no matter how powerful you are, can you defeat hundreds of monsters? Besides, they have powerful people behind them.

If things go wrong, we will have to send in the army to clear the area.

Gan Xiaoyan wanted to say that she had brought a strong foreign aid (Li Chengxi), but before she could finish her words, the Lei family disciple who was leading the way made a gesture of invitation:

"The master is waiting for you in the main hall."

Gan Xiaoyan could only swallow the words that were about to come out of her mouth and lead the way into the door.

This is a living room in the Lei family complex. The furnishings look antique and there is incense burning, which seems to be very charming.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw a young man sitting in the main seat. He was about twenty years old, probably two years younger than Li Chengxi.

It is not reliable to judge a cultivator's age by his appearance. It is not uncommon to see a female cultivator who looks to be in her twenties actually being an old witch.

Gan Xiaoyan did not fall into rudeness just because the other person looked young. She greeted him as soon as she entered the door.

The latter also stood up and bowed:

"My name is Lei Yuntian, and I am temporarily taking over the position of the head of the family. You all have come from afar, and my great-grandfather should have come forward, but his old injury relapsed and he is unable to come forward. Please forgive me."

This Lei Yuntian doesn't just look young, he is actually not old.

If you must say it, he is the young master, but since the adults are not around, he has to come forward to receive guests.

It didn't seem that Gan Xiaoyan was good at small talk. In short, we chatted back and forth for a few sentences and then got straight to the point.

"Master Lei, may I ask what is going on?" "It's all because of the Lingbao Heavenly Palace."

Lei Yuntian looked at Lei Lei who was pushed over in a wheelchair and sighed.

"It's all fate."

"?"

Please tell me clearly, can the Riddler get out of Gotham City?

Let’s not talk about others, Li Chengxi was confused from beginning to end.

Although Li Chengxi's main mission in this trip is to be a bodyguard and he shouldn't interfere in other matters, is it really interesting for you to only talk halfway?
Fortunately, Lei Yuntian was not just being mysterious, and he immediately explained:
"This Lingbao Heavenly Palace was made by our Lei family's ancestor. It was originally intended for the purpose of becoming an immortal. But later on, Bao Cheng discovered that it was impossible to become an immortal with this item, so he sealed it up at home and has not moved it for a thousand years."

"If that's the case, why are those monsters chasing after Lingbao Tiangong?"

"It was because not long after the treasure was completed, the world was in chaos. The Lei family ancestors felt that the monsters were harming the world, so they took out the Lingbao Heavenly Palace to suppress them. This probably happened during the Shang and Zhou dynasties."

Damn it?

What do you mean? Does that mean The Investiture of the Gods is true?
Because Li Chengxi wanted to live a peaceful life, he didn't know much about the situation in this circle.

In fact, the legends and novels handed down from ancient times are not entirely fabricated.

As the saying goes, chasing shadows is like catching wind, but you must have wind and shadows first. It is impossible for it to appear out of thin air. It is just that over a long period of time, the legend has gradually changed.

Of course, this does not mean that the Investiture of the Gods is all true. It only means that some parts of it may be closer to the facts.

Just like the relationship between Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Records of the Three Kingdoms.

Lei Yuntian continued:
"Lingbao Palace is derived from the essence of Jiuzhou. My ancestors used Lingbao Palace as a medium to naturally suppress the monsters of Jiuzhou. Today, the monsters have greatly reduced their strength. Unless they are some great monsters, they can basically not use any magic power."

Monsters without magic powers are actually just wild beasts that are a little more difficult to deal with. This move can be said to have hit the monsters' weak spot.

"To this day, apart from the people of our Lei family, no monsters should know about these things. Many monsters thought that all monsters in the world were like this. Until recently, for some reason, the monsters suddenly united and besieged our Lei family, intending to force us to open the Lingbao Heavenly Palace and destroy the restrictions that suppress the monster race."

"Section Nine has received news that there are external forces involved, but we don't know exactly what happened."

Gan Xiaoyan changed the subject:
"To be honest, Lei Lei sitting there is my best friend. She was attacked by a monster yesterday. Fortunately, Brother Li helped her, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. Could it be related to Lingbao Heavenly Palace?"

When asked this, Lei Yuntian seemed a little hesitant. It might be because it involved confidential information and he didn't dare to say it without the permission of the older generation.

But he didn't say it, someone else did.

"Don't hide it. There's no need to hide such trivial matters of the Lei family."

Lei Lei, who was sitting in a wheelchair, suddenly spoke, then lifted the blanket covering her body and rubbed her temples with her hands.

"It's just some trivial things, cousin, just tell me."

Having said that, Lei Lei tried to get up from the wheelchair, but she almost fell down because she didn't stand firmly, until a pair of hands supported her from behind.

Lei Lei turned around and was about to thank him when she saw it was Li Chengxi.

"Brother Li? Why are you here too?"

That’s right, this confused expression proves that Lei Lei just woke up.
