The ancestor is incompetent!

Chapter 115 The open sea
In the evening, Li Xuanyue walked down from upstairs and came to the side of Li Yuan downstairs. She gently gathered her long hair in front of her shoulders, and a faint fragrance emanated from her body, which made people intoxicated.

In addition, she possesses the supernatural power of Guishui, and her already beautiful appearance is set off by the clear and bright essence, which makes her naturally even more beautiful.

"Fellow Daoist Li, I'm new here and don't know many of the rules. I hope you can give me some pointers."

Li Yuan was intoxicated by the faint fragrance and felt a little happier. This was in the heartland of the Dugu family, and he was not afraid that the woman in front of him would dare to play any tricks. With such good fortune in front of him, he was naturally happy to get closer.

"Haha, you are too polite, fellow Daoist. May I know what your name is? My name is Li Yuan, and I am a disciple of the Li Clan."

"My name is Li Xuanyue, and I am a disciple of the Qiling Sect." Li Xuanyue took out a jar of spiritual wine, placed it on the table, took out the wine utensils, and said with a smile: "This is the spiritual wine brewed by the spiritual peach tree on the inner island. Although it does not have much spiritual power, it tastes wonderful. Daoist friends may wish to try it."

"Oh? Spirit wine from the inner island? This is good stuff!" Li Yuan's eyes widened upon hearing this. He picked up the wine bottle and drank it all without hesitation. He slowly closed his eyes, feeling the sweet and intoxicating spirit wine from the moment it entered his mouth to the moment it fell into his stomach. He said with a sigh, "I didn't expect that fellow Taoist is also a winemaker. I'm afraid this spirit wine will be scrambled for if it's placed in the market."

"You are too kind, fellow Daoist." Li Xuanyue said with a smile, "Are all the spiritual objects on the outer islands also bought and sold with spiritual stones?"

“The spiritual objects of Qi-refining cultivators are naturally spiritual stones, but there are also spiritual beads that can serve as a substitute.

The Wanzhu Sea, near the west side of the Upper Xuan Sea, is rich in pearls, countless of which are Lingzhu, which is rich in water essence and quite popular among cultivators. Therefore, Lingzhu is also used as Lingshi.

But, one spirit bead is worth ten spirit stones!"

"What? This spirit bead is too valuable, isn't it?" Li Xuanyue asked in surprise, "The spirit energy in the spirit stone is not small, how can one be worth ten?"

"Haha, the spiritual stones used in the outer sea now also come from the inner island, so they are naturally worthless." Li Yuan mocked: "After all, can't Linglong Sect have as many spiritual stones as it wants?"

"What? What do you mean, Brother Li?" Li Xuanyue was shocked and asked hurriedly.

“Don’t you know?” Li Yuan was surprised, then reacted and said, “Yes, you Inner Island monks naturally don’t know, and even if you know, you won’t tell.

The Linglong Sect is the largest producer of spiritual stones in the world. The spiritual stone mines in its mountains will not be exhausted even if they are mined for thousands of years.

As long as that real person makes a move and gives a hint, it will be the foundation of the sect for thousands of years."

"So that's how it is!" Li Xuanyue was shocked for a moment, "Doesn't that mean that all the hundreds of families on the inner island are slaves and servants of the Linglong Sect?"

"You can say that." Li Yuan smiled and drank another bottle of spirit wine, and continued: "In this outer sea, let's not talk about the far ones in our area, let's talk about the nearby ones, there are a total of five forces.

On the outer island in the east is the Wushan Lei clan, which is the ancient Lei Taoist lineage and is very extraordinary.

At the southernmost end is a city called Zhenhai City, which is the offshore base of the Linglong Sect."

"Zhenhai City? Linglong Sect also has influence in the outer sea?" Li Xuanyue was shocked again.

"Haha, fellow Daoist, don't worry. This place is not like the inner island, his Linglong Sect is the only one in power. This Zhenhai City is only used by the Linglong Sect to buy and sell spiritual objects in the outer sea, and there are only 20 to 30 true cultivators." Li Yuan explained with a smile: "Besides, with my Dugu clan here, there is no need to be afraid of him.

Our Dugu clan is located in the southwest of the South Outer Sea. Although there are minor frictions with the Lei clan, the sea clan is powerful after all, so the two families have naturally always lived in peace.

Then there are the Lihai area in the east and the Wanzhuhai area in the west.

Both of these sea areas are ruled by Jindan Demon Kings, who are also Jindan forces.

Of course, if we talk about the largest force in the outer sea, it can only be the Jinyuan Palace in Shangxuanhai.

In addition, there is the mysterious Kehai royal family. Although they are quite far away, there are still traces of the Kehai monsters. "

"So, there are so many real demon kings in the outer sea?" Li Xuanyue said in surprise.

"Of course." Li Yuan smiled and said, "Inner Island is just an island. How big can it be? How can it compare to the vast ocean?"

Li Xuanyue nodded and said, "That's true. I wonder how big the Dugu clan's territory is, including the area it occupies?"

"My friend, your question puts me in a difficult position." Li Yuan pondered for a moment and estimated, "Although I don't know the whole picture, I estimate that it must be tens of thousands of miles in radius.

The neighboring Wushan Lei clan is not much different from my Dugu clan. I'm afraid the inner island is not as large as the outer island, right?"

Li Xuanyue was shocked and doubtful when she heard this, but she pretended to be shocked and said, "It is true."

Then Li Yuan couldn't stop talking about a lot of astronomy and geography, which broadened Li Xuanyue's horizons. Then he left with a smile on his face.

Back in the building, Li Xuanyue recounted everything Li Yuan had said in detail, and everyone fell into deep thought.

What is obviously inconsistent is the area of ​​the inner and outer islands. In Qi Lingmen's records, the outer island was not that big, at most the area of ​​the Guangyuan Mountains plus the Tianxia Mountains, but now it seems to be as large as half of the inner island.

However, people from the outer islands think that the inner island is small. How big can the place be when there is only one Jindan?

But in the history of Qi Ling Sect, it was Master Jiang who occupied the inner island alone. Either the ancestors of several families concealed the truth, or the Nanjue Island a thousand years ago and the Nanjue Island today have changed.

"Do you think that Nanjue Island will also grow like humans?"

Li Xuanming spoke with a smile, breaking the silence.

Cui Huaiqiu was shocked when he heard this. "The island is a dead thing and will not grow. But the divine power and status can affect it! More than a thousand years ago, the ancestor died, and his status alone was able to transform into a large island with a radius of thousands of miles. Could it be that the Linglong Sect merged it into Nanjue Island?"

Li Xuanyue also had many guesses in her mind, but she didn't want to think about it, because facing a reality that was too cruel might make people despair.

……

In the following days, Cui Huaiqiu and the other two recuperated here for a few days. During this time, Li Yuan and Zeng Yu kept guarding them, obviously afraid that they would run away.

It was not until five days later that Dugu Jin appeared again and invited the three of them to join him with a smile.

The three of them followed her all the way to a large formation. A light gate appeared in the formation, but Dugu Jin said, "Go in, the ancestor is waiting for you. I have something important to attend to, so I won't stay with you any longer."

After saying that, she turned around and left.

Li Xuanming was stunned for a moment, and asked in confusion: "How can someone abandon guests and go away?"

"Isn't this an ambush for us?" Li Xuanyue asked hesitantly.

"With their strength, why would they set an ambush for us?" Cui Huaiqiu shook his head and said, "Besides, our ancestors swore an oath that as long as the Dugu family exists, this oath will exist.

No matter what, you’ll know once you go in and see it.”

So Cui Huaiqiu stepped in first, and the Li siblings followed behind him and walked into the formation.

As soon as they entered the formation, the three of them were shocked, because as soon as they stepped into it, the endless wailing sounds of demons and ghosts mixed with the hurricane pierced their eardrums, making them hold their heads and cry out.

There was also this murderous wind all over the sky, which was so strong that people couldn't even open their eyes. Once their divine thoughts were released, they were instantly dispersed into the hurricane and could not leave the body several feet away.

The three of them walked through the corridor step by step and came to the courtyard under the circular earth building. They saw a strange half-human, half-beast figure who was chained and struggling in the hurricane.

"Chirp~"

A shrill bird cry shook the nine heavens, and a hurricane gathered in the center of the courtyard. Cui Huaiqiu could then see clearly that there was a strange figure with a human body, bird wings and a phoenix head in the center of the courtyard. In a blur, he turned into a person sitting cross-legged on the ground, with disheveled hair, panting to ease the strange vision just now.

The strong wind and the sounds of beasts and howling disappeared.

Cui Huaiqiu quickly realized what was happening, and he led the two people behind him to bow respectfully and said, "Junior disciples of the Qi Ling Sect greet the Immortal! I wish the Immortal a long and prosperous path!"

The voice echoed in the yard, causing the woman to turn around and look at the three people.

The three of them instantly felt as if they were being stared at by an extremely ferocious beast. Their hearts and bodies beat faster instinctively, and their blood seemed to flow faster.

"Yes, it's from Qi Ling Sect." Although the woman's voice had been tortured for a long time, it was still clear and beautiful.

"It's not easy for you to get out of the inner island alive, but what can I ask of you?"

Cui Huaiqiu's eyelids jumped, and he said boldly: "We only seek the guidance of the Immortal, and the opportunity to ascend to the throne!"

“Golden elixir?” She laughed without emotion when she heard that, and looked at the three people again. After examining them for a while, she smiled and said, “Even though each of you three is extraordinary, how can you achieve the Golden elixir just by being a little extraordinary?

Of the three of you, only this kid still has a little hope."

She looked at Li Xuanming seriously, obviously talking about him.

"Even so, I still pray that you can help my junior brother and help him avoid taking detours and wrong paths." Cui Huaiqiu did not fall into resentment. As if he had expected it, he continued to seek the truth.

The dirty-haired woman did not mean anything, but just pondered for a moment before saying: "Now that the two virtues of the sun and the moon are revealed in the world, the Shaoyang and Shaoyin paths are inspired by the True Lord, so cultivation will naturally not be slow.

But as to whether he can ascend to the throne, that depends on whether the true god above allows it.

But you are lucky, kid. If I remember correctly, Shaoyang... should be friendly with the lineage of Weiyang Zhenren in your Tianqi Immortal Sect.

I think if you are sure of it, set up an altar to offer sacrifices, and talk about the Taoist tradition, you can still benefit from the ancestors' influence, and naturally your chances are much better than those of ordinary people.

I happen to have a Shaoyang True Transmission here, which was obtained from a disciple of Taixuan Xianzong, called "Taixuan Shaoyang True Decision", which is a method to connect the status and sense the nine heavens. Although it is not a practice, it is better than a practice. If you can't even create a foundation-building practice, then you must have no ability to ascend to the throne.

It's like paying off your real family's debt."

After saying that, she stretched out her hand and pointed far away. A flash of golden light penetrated into Li Xuanming's head, causing him to fall into coma.

Li Xuanyue hurriedly supported him and waited on the side.

Cui Huaiqiu smiled and said, "Thank you for the Dharma, Immortal."

The immortal looked at him again, and said with a little regret: "I see that your determination is far superior to that of ordinary people, and your sword intention is also quite extraordinary. If you practiced earlier, you might have a chance.

But now, it’s too late.”
