The ancestor is incompetent!

Chapter 122 Purple Sun Night (Combined Chapter)
As the morning light broke, golden rays of light pierced through the thick clouds like arrows and sprinkled on the vast territory of Linglong Sect.

The most prominent features within the sect are the six majestic mountains, each of which covers hundreds of miles. The mountains are winding like a dragon, with mottled green shadows and the peaks hidden in the fairy mist.

Six huge mountains form a circle with four magnificent pavilions inside, divided into four colors: black, yellow, green and white. The palaces on top are magnificent, with white jade walls that are not stained by dust. The purple and gold glazed tiles on the roof shine brightly in the sunlight, and the flying eaves are like a roc spreading its wings, as if it wants to break through the sky. From a distance, monks as small as ants are walking back and forth between the pavilions.

There were four huge buildings in the four directions, and in the center stood a huge tower hundreds of feet high. The disciples nearby had to take a detour when they came to the tower and did not dare to pass over it.

At this moment, there were five figures standing under the tower, all looking at the golden light on the tower with serious expressions.

The Nanxu Mountain Master pondered for a moment and broke the silence among the few people, "Why don't we wake up the elders in advance? In order to avoid delays when time is tight."

The master of Jingyi Mountain frowned and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? The ancestor has not issued a decree yet, and it is still unknown whether the cave heaven can be brought down."

"Don't blame him for being anxious. That cave is a place of yin and yang. Maybe there is the spiritual thing that Nanxuzi is looking for. The Taoist tradition can be continued. How can he not be anxious?" The Lord of Jinhua Mountain smiled and nodded at the other party.

“No matter how anxious you are, you have to wait. Otherwise, if the cave heaven has not fallen when the elders are awakened, wouldn’t several elders die at once?”

The master of Xiji Mountain said calmly: "Let's wait a little longer. We are much luckier than Dongcang. She is still staying at the foot of the mountain."

"She was destined to have this calamity. When the ancestor obtained this Yuanshui, it was originally intended to be kept for observation. She relied on her ancestor's favor and insisted on cultivating this Yuanshui, thinking that she could save the step of sensing the status. However, she did not expect that it would be difficult for Yuanshui to become a Dao.

Since the True Man Qinggu was certified a thousand years ago, there have been only three or two True Men in the Nine Continents and the Twelve Immortal Sects who practice this way. How deep is the water, how could she know it?" The Lord of Jingyi Mountain sneered, obviously quite dissatisfied with him.

"Okay, stop making noise here. Just wait for the decree." The Lord of Beicang Mountain spoke, interrupting several people who wanted to say more.

The scene suddenly became quiet.

As the sun's shadow gradually moved away, a rosy glow rose above the ancient pagoda and an edict fell.

"In March, when the water dries up, the mermaid turns into a shadow, and the cave heaven appears.

You can take all the things from them, and everyone in the cave can be killed."

The five mountain masters all said in unison with great respect: "Accept the order!"

The glow of the sunset faded away, and the ancient pagoda returned to its original tranquility.

The five people's eyes were filled with joy. The fall of this cave might give their generation or even the previous generation of Linglong sect disciples a chance to ascend to the throne!
The five people dispersed and went to the deepest part of the mountain. Inside each of the six mountains, there was a stone statue sleeping in the dark underground where no one knew.

The five mountain masters awakened the stone statues one by one. The old men who walked out of these stone statues all had perfect magical powers and their aura was at the ninth level.

Together with a stone statue in Dongcang Mountain, thirteen ninth-level great true practitioners walked out one after another.

They were all petrified and sealed in a state of suspended death by the real person using his magical powers when their lifespans were coming to an end. These old men will only be awakened when they are needed.

These thirteen people are all great cultivators of Earth Virtue. They are the masters of the six mountains of the previous generation or the generation before that. The current masters of the mountains have to show respect to them as juniors when they see them.

……

The easternmost place is Shangyang Palace.

In the golden hall, the Palace Master of Shangyang Palace, Yang Dongchen, sat in the main seat. His powerful aura of the Nine Transformations made it hard for everyone in the hall to breathe.

With a hint of anger in his eyes, he shouted, "Little friend Zhang, don't push your luck!"

Zhang Qi, whose appearance had returned to his youth, was not afraid at all, and said with a low smile: "We agreed when we came here, I will only tell fortunes for you.

But now they want me to go there in person. How dangerous is it? What's wrong with me making this request?"

"This Ziyang Cave Heaven was left by our Taoist ancestor, how could we allow you to bring outsiders in?"

At the lower right of the main seat stood a handsome young man with fiery eyebrows, who shouted at him in a cold voice.

"Haha, Palace Master, don't you think that you are the only ones who can sense that the cave heaven is about to open? I'm afraid that Linglong Sect has already prepared manpower, waiting for the cave heaven to open!" Zhang Qi said indifferently.

"Impossible. This cave is not from our sect. Even if others are lucky enough to come across it, they can only watch." A white-haired old man with a firm look in his eyes stood at the lower left of the main seat.

"The Zi Yang Cave Heaven contains one Qi. In ancient times, Shao Yin and Shao Yang were connected. Shang Shui Palace has lost its orthodoxy, but your Shang Yang Palace has not. Do you know why?" Zhang Qi looked at Yang Dongchen who was sitting in the main seat with a smile.

“Of course, our Shangyang Palace has kept in mind the trust of our ancestors and has not forgotten the heritage, which has been passed down by our ancestors from generation to generation.” The young man said with his face raised.

"Maybe." Zhang Qi did not refute, "But maybe it was intentional by the real person. As long as your Shangyang Palace inheritance is there, this Ziyang Cave Heaven will stay on the island instead of falling into the sea.

So it is enough to leave only one inheritance.

The reason why it is your Shangyang Palace may also be because the real person took the inheritance of Shangshui Palace and has other uses for it.

Therefore, you Shaoyang can enter now.

The Linglong Sect can naturally enter, and with the help of a real person, they are much stronger than you."

"There is already one less mountain master among the six mountains, and the others are at most similar to the two of us. How can they compare to the status of the palace master?" the old man asked doubtfully.

"This generation is not capable, but that doesn't mean the previous generation is not capable." Zhang Qi said bluntly: "The Immortal has granted life. Other cultivators dare not say, but most of the Tude cultivators can survive longer. You Shangyang Palace will never be a match for Linglong Sect."

Yang Dongchen frowned and said: “Even if what you said is possible, the Lord of Dongcang Mountain was suppressed and left the mountain, and I have never heard of other Shaoyin masters.

How can they enter the cave?"

"Shaoyin represents the moon, and the moon is the essence of water. If the Palace Master can think of the Lord of Dongcang Mountain, how can Linglong Sect forget the water race?" Zhang Qi sighed, "The Qiyin Divine Light refined by the mermaid was formed by the combined magical powers of my ancestors. With the help of the Kan water from the black dragon falling to the ground, it can naturally lead the Shaoyin Gate into the cave heaven.

By then, you will not only face the Linglong Sect, but also the mermaids! That’s all I have to say, so you should think carefully about it.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of several true practitioners in the hall became gloomy, and the hall fell into silence.

After a long while, Yang Dongchen said, "Even if I let you bring people in, those true cultivators in your sect who are not even at the fourth level, wouldn't they be sending themselves to death if they go there?"

"Palace Master, don't worry about that. I brought people in just to look for some spiritual objects. As for the inheritance of the Taoist tradition, how dare I interfere?" Zhang Qi said with a smile, "If you don't trust me, I can swear an eternal oath that I will never be an enemy of Shangyang Palace!"

"In that case, which true practitioner in your sect would you like to take with you?" Yang Dongchen compromised.

"It is naturally my junior brother Li Yuan who is from the same lineage as me. He cultivates the Mysterious Dark Yin Qi and has his own inheritance. You don't have to worry about him." Zhang Qi smiled and said, "As for me, you don't have to worry too much."

"Okay, in that case, let's go together!" Yang Dongchen asked, "When do we set off?"

A hint of smile flashed across Zhang Qi's eyes, and he said loudly: "Since the Palace Master trusts me, I will not let the Palace Master down.

It would take at least half a month or even several months for the black dragon to fall to the ground and be attracted by the moonlight. It would also take at least a month for them to open the Shaoyin Gate.

But the Palace Master holds the status of Shaoyang and has the inheritance in his hands, so we only need three days to open the Shaoyang Gate!
So if the Palace Master is ready, we will set off immediately!"

……

In the Xuanyuan Realm, beside the spirit pool, all kinds of water Qi gathered like clouds, reshaping Li Yuan's body bit by bit.

His body was turned into ashes by the thunder, leaving only his soul protected by his supernatural powers and a still beating heart.

If it were any other true cultivator, even if they achieved the third level of spiritual mastery and merged their souls into the body, it would still be equivalent to the death of their physical body, and they would have to find someone to take over the body.

Fortunately, Li Yuan's magical power is the way of Yuanshui, which is the ancestral water tradition that gives birth to the source of life of all things. As long as there is a trace of vitality in his physical body, he will not die.

If one cultivates to the upper seventh level and senses the position, he will be able to draw on the nature of primordial water and almost transform himself into all water.

If it is scattered, it will become water in the world; if it is gathered, it will become me. Unless the real person takes action to separate the status, it can be wiped out.

Otherwise, the only option is suppression.

As Li Yuan's cultivation became higher and higher, he often thought about the owner of that drop of Tianyi True Water, Yuanshui Zhenren, whose status was almost immortal. Who could force him to willingly destroy his own status?
Yuanshui Zhenjun had fallen in ancient times, which had been confirmed by all the Daoists. Even if other Zhenjuns took action, there would be a chance of escape.

Chaotic thoughts echoed in Li Yuan's mind, and his body and limbs returned to normal. He looked at his still tender body, which he could not change for the time being. He could only put on clothes and become a human again.

He stretched out his hand, and thirteen strands of black hair appeared in his hand. Each strand was attached with silver electric wire. Even an ordinary cultivator would retreat if they were touched.

These thirteen strands of black hair can be refined into a magic rope. With the strength of wood and the power of thunder, it will surely be an extraordinary spiritual weapon if it is refined.

Li Yuan walked slowly to the altar. The originally empty altar now had a figure tied to a pillar.

It was the demon general Ze Wei!
But for some reason, when he placed this monster on the altar and tied it with chains made of strange material, it fell into a kind of slumber, but the breath of life was still there.

His eyes swept around, and there was no change here. It seemed that nine sacrifices had to be gathered before the sacrifice could be held.

Eight more to go!

Li Yuan felt a sense of urgency. This time when he stepped out of the cave, he almost lost his soul. If he had not taken advantage of the old dragon to divert his energy into the water, and abandoned his body and put his breath into the water, he would not be able to avoid the thunder tribulation even if he hid in the Xuanyuan Realm.

Therefore, he must let the Xuanyuan Realm perform a sacrifice, or offering, to see if the Xuanyuan Realm can undergo another change and break through the seventh level in the cave.

As long as he can break through the seventh turn, he will be able to complete the ninth turn, and the next time he steps out of the cave, he will be able to achieve the golden elixir.

As long as you become the golden elixir, you can say it in a bold way.

A golden elixir is swallowed into my belly, and my fate is determined by God.

Although it is not that exaggerated, but once it becomes the golden elixir, life and death are united, no matter how much the heaven and earth hate it, they cannot punish the real person with thunder.

Unless something terrible happens that disrupts the order of the world and destroys the heaven and earth, a Jindan Zhenren will not bring about a thunder disaster.

Li Yuan frowned when he thought of this. The Xuanyuan Realm was not the kind of magical weapon that could allow him to take in anyone he wanted.

Any physical object that wants to enter the Xuanyuan Realm must have no resistance and be guided by his divine thoughts before it can enter.

In other words, they must be captured alive! Capture eight true cultivators alive?

When he couldn't leave the cave, the only person he could rely on was Li Yuan. But even if Li Yuan cultivated faster, without the seventh turn, it would be too difficult to capture the real cultivator alive.

Unless Li Yuan brings in a few more Tianyin Evil Corpses and breaks through the fourth level, and the Thousand Soul Banner collects a few more true cultivator ghost generals, and then cooperates with his magical powers to assist, perhaps he can capture a true cultivator below the fourth level alive.

However, in order to use supernatural powers, it is necessary to prevent others from seeing it, and also to find a layer of cover.

After Li Yuan thought about it for a while, he gradually had an idea in his mind, so he put it aside for the time being and continued to practice the technique.

The fourth turn is similar to the first turn, both are a transitional state of becoming familiar with and mastering power. Many true practitioners can break through to the next turn after accumulating enough true energy in about ten years.

After practicing the technique for several days, Li Yuan estimated his practice speed and found that it would only take eight years to reach the fifth level.

The fifth transformation requires sensing the physical images of the earth and communicating with the spiritual dew and rain. The sixth transformation requires sensing the physical images of the sky and communicating with the lightning and thunder.

Every object in this world is different, and even every person is different.

Li Yuan's Taoist ginseng condensed the magical power of spring rain, so the objects he sympathized with were inseparable from the image of rain.

Of course, if a cultivator of the Earth element were to communicate with objects, he would only be able to sense the glow of the sky and the mountains on the earth.

Because this image is the resonance of the True Lord, and the True Lord is the master, then the image of resonance is the only image that can be sensed by the cultivators of the Wu Earth Taoist tradition in the world.

If Li Yuan can ascend to the position of True Lord one day in the future, then the image he resonates with will be the image of Yuanshui, and it will also be the path that all practitioners of Yuanshui in the world must take from now on.

From this image, it can be seen that Yuanshui Zhenjun must have lost his power, otherwise Li Yuan would have to practice according to the ancient Yuanshui image.

After he figured this out, he was about to continue his cultivation when he noticed the mood changes in Li Yuan's soul and hurriedly connected with it.

……

Above Qi Ling Gate, Zhang Qi returned from a long journey and said to Li Yuan, "Brother, I have a great opportunity here. Are you willing to go with me?"

"Great opportunity?" Li Yuan was instinctively on guard, but he felt his soul tremble, and then he changed his mind and laughed, "If it's a great opportunity, I must go and take a look."

Chen Guan, who was standing by, said worriedly, "Is there any danger? Although the opportunity is good, life is the most important!"

"Don't worry, senior brother. I guarantee that Junior Brother Li Yuan will come back safe and sound!" Zhang Qi said with a smile.

"Okay, in that case, I'll be there to take care of you, so try to go early and come back early." Chen Guan had no intention of going, so he just reminded them.

"Don't worry, senior brother. We will return to the mountain within three months." Zhang Qi took off his glasses and looked towards Qi Lingmen with his handsome eyes.

"Junior brother, you are not..."

"Don't worry, senior brother. I have improved my cultivation in the Fanyang Pond. Now I can control my energy with ease." Zhang Qi comforted Chen Guan with a smile.

"That's good." Chen Guandian nodded and smiled, "Be careful on the road."

"Don't worry, senior brother. Bye!" Zhang Qi said with a smile and bowed.

Li Yuan stretched out his hand and shouted, "Chen Ming, come here!"

"Gah~"

A crow's cry was heard, and Chen Ming reluctantly flapped his wings and landed on his shoulder.

"Senior Brother, goodbye." Li Yuan also bowed and flew up to the Gangfeng layer with Zhang Qi.

Chen Guan, standing alone under the cloud light, looked at Zhang Qi's departing figure and felt uneasy.

He frowned, thinking that Zhang Qi must be hiding something from him.

But considering that Zhang Qi said he would return in March, since there is an exact time, there won’t be any big unknown risks.

He shook his head to get rid of all distracting thoughts, lowered his body, and returned to the mountains to deal with mundane affairs.

……

Near the coast of the West Sea, a huge mermaid broke through the waves, with her thousand-foot-long body standing on the sea surface, and the sea water could only submerge her fish tail.

The scales all over her body were like carefully carved dark blue gems, each scale glowing with a dreamy light, and the edges seemed to be inlaid with tiny starlight. As her body swayed slightly, the light intertwined into a gorgeous halo.

Her silver hair fluttered softly, each strand was gently caressed by the faint light, and occasionally a few strands brushed across her face, making her skin look whiter than snow and exuding a cold and noble look. Her eyes were like deep sea whirlpools, dark blue and deep, with a faint fluorescent glow flickering in her pupils.

Below her stood the mermaid who had previously attacked Xiang Zexi. She was only five hundred feet tall and followed behind the giant mermaid like a tiny figure.

In the distant Kehai Sea, which was glowing with a deep blue light, countless aquatic creatures were making sounds, and a strange voice spread for thousands of miles.

The giant shark opened its mouth slowly, and its soft voice was accompanied by a tremendous pressure.

"Youguang, I need to borrow your magical power."

The mermaid following him immediately responded: "It is an honor for Youguang to be used by Master Xuanjiao."

The giant mermaid nodded slightly and pointed. The mermaid called Youguang rose up and turned into a half moon. The black mermaid just waved his arm, the sky and the earth changed color, the sea tide shook, the ancient voice of the mermaid rang out, and the sun set and night came.

The half moon was suspended in the sky, shining on the west bank of Nanjue Island. The water Qi merged with the moonlight, turning into strands of Shaoyin Qi, and condensed into ancient Taoist patterns.

The black shark stood in the sea for three days, and the sky on the west bank did not see the sun rise or the dawn for three days.

Until the half moon in the sky turned into a full moon, Xuan Jiao softly chanted an ancient mysterious sound, and the Shaoyin Qi suspended in the air moved and converged into a formation, and a huge portal stood above the west coast.

At this time, Xuan Jiao called out, "Go ahead, enter the cave, don't hold back."

"I obey my king's orders!"

A row of mermaids as tall as ordinary people broke through the waves, flew into the sky, their fish tails turned into feet, and flew into the slowly opening Shaoyin Gate.

A mysterious yellow light was rushing towards them from afar, and the thirteen great cultivators arrived late.

But they did not dare to get angry, and they all bowed and said, "Greetings to the real person."

"Your real master has an appointment with the sect in March, but I have nothing to do, so I came here in person, more than two months in advance. I think you won't mind, right?"

Xuan Jiao spoke calmly.

An old man in the lead immediately responded, "Master, we certainly don't dare!"

"Go ahead, but be kind to the children of my tribe."

After Xuan Jiao finished speaking, she stretched out her hand and picked the full moon in the sky. She swung her huge fish tail and hundreds of feet of waves rose up, covering Xuan Jiao's figure and making her disappear.

Without the full moon in the sky, the huge Shaoyin Gate slowly closed.

Seeing this scene, the thirteen great cultivators desperately tried to get into the door, secretly cursing Xuan Jiao in their hearts for not following the rules and almost harming them.

The huge Shaoyin Gate slowly closed, and the true practitioners who were frightened by the huge noise finally arrived. The true practitioners of Shangshui Palace even had their eyes wide open with anger, but they could do nothing but return in despair.

Other true practitioners who thought there was something to be gained continued to wander around without giving up, hoping that something good would fall down.

Xiang Daizong, who saw this scene, felt extremely distressed. Only at this moment did he understand that the death of his ancestor and the old dragon that caused the Xiang family to fall, were nothing more than playthings in the hands of the real people and were only used to clear the way.

In the Qi Ling Gate farther away, Chen Guan was somewhat shocked by the various strange phenomena and changes in spiritual energy in the west. It seemed that the great opportunity that Junior Brother Zhang mentioned was there.

……

In a strange world, Zhang Qi, Li Yuan and three great practitioners of Shangyang Palace walked cautiously among a huge, majestic and ancient building complex.

Above their heads, the sun and the moon shine together.

Moreover, there are two days and two moons, one day of empty white, and one day of bright golden light.

Opposite it is a full moon as bright as snow, and a half moon.

There is also a clear dividing line between day and night in the entire cave world. Within the line is night, and outside the line is dawn.

Such a strange and magnificent spectacle shocked Li Yuan and others.

Yang Dongchen looked at this world and sighed: "The sun and the moon shine together, but the light and night are separated. This is the Purple Yang Cave Heaven!"

"Why is it called Ziyang Cave Heaven?" Chen Ming on Li Yuan's shoulder asked, "Wouldn't it sound better to call it Sun and Moon Shining Heaven?"

"Evil creature! Stop talking nonsense!" The young man behind Yang Dongchen shouted, "This is the name of our ancestor. When our Taoist ancestor, Zi Yang Zhenren, created this cave, he naturally used its honorable name to suppress the destiny."

"Yang Xiao, there's no need to be so excited. Just don't say too much." The old man beside the young man signaled with his eyes, warning him that talking too much would lead to mistakes, and not to let outsiders hear his family's secrets.

Zhang Qi smiled and said, "Seniors, why don't we split up now? You go to Yangtian, and we go to Yetian. This way we can save some time."

"Saving time is good, but not in this way." Yang Dongchen smiled faintly, "It has been thousands of years since the cave has changed. We still need Zhang Xiaoyou to lead the way for us."

"Then you guys go to Yangtian, and I will go to Yetian by myself. After all, I cultivate the Yin Qi, so I have to avoid the bright Yang positive Qi." At this time Li Yuan took the initiative to speak.

"No, you must go with me." Yang Xiao frowned.

"Three seniors, my junior brother is used to being alone, so just let him be. After all, they are just some spiritual objects. You naturally know where the truly precious things are hidden. Why worry about it?" Zhang Qi reminded them, "The Shaoyin Gate has been opened, so don't waste time!"

"Okay, let's go." Yang Dongchen looked at Li Yuan coldly, then gave an order and the five people went in two groups.
