The ancestor is incompetent!

Chapter 123 Eight True Cultivation

A few figures passed through the empty and desolate palace complex. Among them, two true cultivators, a man and a woman, ran towards a palace in Ye Tian.

The platform of the palace is nine feet high, with steps made of white jade. On the ancient palace door, the three characters "Su Yu Palace" are engraved in the light of the white moon.

The woman among the two said with caution: "Shaoyin is heartless and has no nature. We don't know why the Lord of this cave heaven abandoned us. It is better to be cautious."

The male merman beside him smiled and said, "Then I will obey your orders."

The female mermaid smiled and was not surprised. Among the mermaids, when the bloodlines were of equal nobility, the females were always stronger than the males.

She gently took off a scale from her arm and threw it down into the air. The scale spun around and turned into dozens of giant shrimps and crabs that rushed towards the hall.

These shrimps and crabs walked all the way to the palace gate without any trouble. The heavy and ancient palace door was slowly pushed open. Seeing that nothing happened, the two men followed.

But as soon as those shrimps and crabs stepped into the hall, they were immediately illuminated by the moonlight rising from the hall and turned into water mist.

The pure moonlight shone all the way out, piercing through the two mermen cultivators who were retreating rapidly.

Suddenly the bodies of the two mermaids trembled, and then turned into two balls of foam that slowly rose and dissipated in the air.

In the dark, Li Yuan, who was hiding under the stairs, became solemn when he saw this scene. He stretched out his hand and a Qi-cultivating Yin corpse rushed in, but just as it stepped into the hall, it was turned into ashes by the pure light and disappeared.

Li Yuan was not discouraged. He waved his hand and released more than ten ghosts from the banner. They floated in the air and entered the hall. This time, the moonlight took a few breaths longer to light up again, and the ghosts, who were half-empty bodies, could not escape being dispersed.

However, Li Yuan took this opportunity to see the situation in the hall clearly. There was a statue of a goddess in white clothes enshrined in the hall, and the statue was very lifelike.

In addition, there are some items used for blessing and sacrificial ceremonies. There is also a pure bottle in front of the statue, which seems to be some kind of spiritual tool.

Li Yuan unconsciously crossed his arms and supported his chin in thought, "It seems that there is nothing good in this hall. At most, there are some ancient spiritual objects in the jade bottle.

Senior Jie Ling said that it takes a water-virtuous spiritual object, or even a truly perfect physical body, to nourish the Xuanyuan Realm. So it is necessary to get this jade bottle."

Not long ago, there was finally a change on the always silent Soul Dharma Wall. Inside the Dharma Wall there was a being who called himself a World Spirit. He said that there was a cave world inside, which contained many precious spiritual trees but could not be opened. It required the nourishment of water-virtuous spiritual objects and a complete physical body of true cultivation.

It is difficult for him to obtain a true physical body now, but it is possible to obtain a water-virtue spiritual object. This is why he came to the Suyu Palace.

After Li Yuan pondered for a while, he summoned the Thousand Soul Banner, used his magical powers on several evil ghosts, and then drove them to rush into the hall at high speed to grab the jade bottle.

The pure light reappeared and wiped out several evil spirits, but the jade bottle had been taken out and fell on the stairs, slowly rolling down.

Li Yuan was delighted. He rolled up the jade bottle and put it into his storage bag, then turned around and flew away, fearing that the pure light would track the jade bottle and give him a chill.

After they were far away, Li Yuan opened the jade bottle. After a careful look, he found that there was indeed a spiritual water in the bottle, which happened to be an extremely rare Yuan water!

"Su Yue Sheng Lu, a mysterious spiritual water, has the same nature as the moon essence, and is good at giving birth to life. It can be used to create spirits for plants, trees, and monsters." Li Yuan frowned and thought, "Original water is the rarest of the four waters, and it is also extremely rare to find spiritual water in the world. There is actually an original water spiritual object in the Shaoyin system. It seems that these two are probably related."

He took note of it secretly and threw the spiritual water into the magic wall. Sure enough, after a flash of mysterious light, the spiritual water disappeared.

The blurry mirror surface on the Dharma wall also became clearer, and vaguely looked like a painting.

At the same time, Zhang Qi, Yang Dongchen and three others who were in Yangtian's range had already passed through a hall. With Zhang Qi's foresight and Yang Dongchen's inheritance, their group was walking the fastest.

Besides, in another direction, the old mountain masters of Linglong Sect poured into Yangtian. They all practiced the Wu Earth Taoism, so naturally they had to look for spiritual objects and Dharma traditions in the Shaoyang Taoism to have a better chance of achieving enlightenment.

The mermaids all poured into the palace complex covered by Shaoyin, but many of them were unfamiliar with Taoist principles and triggered many spiritual formations, resulting in heavy casualties.

But if you raise your gaze from the ground to the sky, you will find that these people are heading towards a huge Tai Chi Fish Eye altar.

This huge altar stands at the junction of the two worlds of dawn and dusk, at the very center, and even the four suns and moons are above this altar.

There are only four spirit tablets placed in the center of the altar, corresponding to the two suns and two moons in the sky. Even after thousands of years, these four spirit tablets still look as good as new.

……

Half a month later, in a huge and magnificent square, a group of mermaids were fighting fiercely with eight puppet-like spirit statues. The vast power of water virtue and mysterious sound spread in all directions, naturally attracting Li Yuan's lurking presence.

His Hundred Ghosts Fuyou are good at lurking and hiding, collecting souls and controlling spirits. In addition, it is dark in the night sky, so it is naturally more difficult to detect.

Li Yuan stared at the mermaids fighting in the square. Now the situation might be his best chance to capture Zhen Xiu's intact body.

The eight spiritual statues in front of him looked like the legendary Taoist soldiers, each of them was a hundred feet tall, and their eyes could emit cold and bright light, which was a derivative of the Taiyin divine light. Once it shone on the flesh, the flesh would be frozen by the cold Qi, and then gradually turned into moonlight and dissipated.

Even if these mermaids could truly cultivate their magical powers and join forces, they only cultivated three magical powers: Xuanyin, Zhenshui, or Kanshui, and they were all three points weaker than the Taiyin Yin System.

In addition, none of the more than ten mermaids in front of them had reached the seventh level of great true cultivation, so they could only be beaten back step by step by the eight spirit statues. The great true cultivator of the mermaid clan seemed to have passed through the barrier in front of them and entered a very grand palace.

Li Yuan thought about it, and immediately took action without hesitation, releasing thousands of evil spirits in the soul flags and pouncing on these mermaids.

At the same time, the Tianyin evil corpse also roared fiercely and confronted a fourth-level mermaid head-on.

The weakest one in the field was at the fourth level, and the strongest was a mermaid at the sixth level. Li Yuan concealed his body in the rolling dark fog, like a poisonous snake in the dark looking for prey.

The blue-eyed merman who had reached the sixth level shouted in shock, "Oh no! There are actually people following our people!

Jialan, Jiaying, I will hold back the Taiyin spirit statue, and you go find this person!"

"Yes!"

Immediately, two mermaids revealed their mermaid forms, one took out a gem glowing blue, and the other took out a conch.

Once the gem was activated, it emitted bursts of faint blue light, dispersing the rolling black fog around it. Moreover, the mermaids shrouded in the blue light all became more powerful.

And when the conch was blown by another female mermaid, a soul-stirring sound swept in all directions, covering the entire huge square.

She played for a few breaths and suddenly noticed something unusual happening. She stretched out her hand and a sea-blue arrow of light shot straight towards that place.

Suddenly, a figure emerged, and it turned out to be a ghost beast. "No!"

Before she could react, a dark aura instantly bloomed beside her, and a sharp bone rope pierced through her body protection magic and locked the bones around her body.

Her companions shouted in shock and anger, and instantly their attention was distracted, with twelve phantoms surrounding Li Yuan, and at the same time bursting out with a huge force of Kanshui to suppress it.

Li Yuan snorted coldly, and the Thousand Souls Banner stood above his head. The rolling black evil lifted up the twelve layers of phantoms to suppress them. Then he took out a magic mirror and shone it on the female mermaid. The woman's eyes became dazzled and she fell into fantasy.

He was overjoyed. He did not expect that the Illusion God Mirror bestowed by Senior Jie Ling was so powerful that it could directly make people fall into the illusion.

Immediately, he had an idea and chanted a spell, and put the mermaid into the Dharma Wall.

"The insidious human race is seeking death!"

A loud shout was heard, and the six-turn blue-eyed mermaid transformed into a giant mermaid hundreds of feet long, holding a trident, pointing at him from a distance, and in an instant a rolling divine thunder struck him.

When Li Yuan saw this scene, he immediately activated his magical powers, transformed his body into thousands of black crows and flew away, then turned around and ran.

His Taoist skills were most afraid of the positive energy of the sun and the Shaoyang and the way of thunder, so naturally he did not dare to be hit by this.

As Li Yuan fled, the mermaids in the field fought a long and fierce battle before they defeated the Taiyin spirit statues one by one, but they had also lost too much energy.

Li Yuan released a reconnaissance puppet that lurked underground, and it lurked quietly behind a group of mermaids from a distance.

In the Xuanyuan Realm, Li Yuan looked with satisfaction at the unconscious female mermaid tied to the altar chains.

The Magic Mirror that Li Yuan used just now was a spiritual weapon made by Li Yuan using the Millennium Dream Tree. It was just a disguise. What really pulled the mermaid into the illusion was the magical power he personally displayed, which confused the other party's mind.

Even if the time of confusion is very short, once she temporarily loses the will to resist, is taken into the Xuanyuan Realm, and tied to the altar, she will never be able to wake up again no matter how powerful her abilities are.

It seems that he really came to the right place in Ziyang Cave Heaven. Otherwise, where would there be so many true cultivators and a closed space for him to succeed?
If this female mermaid had not controlled the conch magic weapon and distracted herself from fighting Li Yuan, he would not have been able to unexpectedly cover the other party in the illusion in an instant.

On that day, he noticed Zhang Qi's return in Qi Lingmen, and knew that it was most likely about the cave heaven, so he attached the cave heaven to Chen Ming, and entered the Zi Yang cave heaven together.

Now, when his soul touched the four suns and moons hanging in the sky, he understood clearly that this Zi Yang Cave was definitely not the cave of a real person.

Because the most precious thing here is the four persons hanging high in the sky!

The moon and the sun are two elements. Above them is the beginning of qi, and below them is the basis of the four symbols. There are actually four symbols in this cave!

This status was taken by the four immortals from their own status, just like when Patriarch Wang Xun used the last bit of status left by Immortal Weiyang to perform the Weiyang Mysterious Realm to bury the nine demon generals.

It will naturally not pose any threat to real people, but to true practitioners below the Golden Elixir stage, it is invincible.

The Xuanyuan Realm even had a faint sense of urgency in attracting the sun and the moon in the sky. It was obvious that this thing would be of great benefit to the Xuanyuan Realm.

But unfortunately, no one knows how these four symbols are fixed in the sky, neither falling nor rising. The current Xuanyuan Realm is too weak to be pulled down.

It seems that we can only wait until these people step into the core of the cave before we can wait for an opportunity to act.

In the following month, Li Yuan kept hanging far behind the mermaid group. Whenever the mermaids were suppressed by forbidden techniques, Li Yuan would wait for an opportunity to summon ghosts and evil spirits. With the help of Chen Ming and the secret efforts of Li Yuan, a fourth-level true cultivator, he captured six true cultivators in a row.

It’s a pity that in the end all the true practitioners of the mermaid tribe below the seventh level died. Every fallen mermaid would turn into a pool of foam and slowly float away into the sky and disappear.

Walking in the front were four upper-level true cultivators of the eighth or ninth level. Li Yuan did not have the courage to touch them. Even if the upper-level true cultivators were in danger, it was not something that Li Yuan could touch now.

So he could only continue to follow this group of people carefully. Although he didn't get any spiritual objects, he was getting closer to the core part of the cave.

At this time, everyone saw the altar hanging high in the center, and naturally understood that it was the core. However, no one dared to fly directly to the altar, but walked step by step towards the central area, where there was a long floating staircase, from which they could climb up the altar.

……

Down the long staircase, the Shangyang Palace group finally arrived here.

Yang Xiao looked up at the long staircase that led to the sky, his eyes showing excitement, and he said excitedly: "Finally we have reached this point!"

"Yes, my Shangyang Palace has gone through several generations and has been plotting for more than two thousand years. Finally today, I have the opportunity to see the status of my ancestors!"

Yang Dongchen also said with emotion.

"Are those two also planning to silence me?" Zhang Qi asked calmly.

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere among the three people present suddenly became weird.

“Hmph, if you hadn’t led us the wrong way, my old uncle Qian wouldn’t have died under the sun’s blazing sun while trying to cover our retreat!” Yang Xiao said with coldness in his eyes.

"I am not omniscient and omnipotent, and it is inevitable that I will make mistakes." Zhang Qi shook his head and sighed, stroking his white hair that had turned silver again and said, "I am a dying man, and I don't have many years left to live. Are you two willing to let me go?"

"Friend Zhang, you can't get out alive." Yang Dongchen said indifferently: "You have seen countless secrets with your magic eyes. I'm afraid that at this moment you know this cave better than I do.

If you get out alive, then the secrets of this cave and the inheritance of my Taoist lineage will all fall into the hands of your Qiling Sect, right?

My friend, just go on your journey with peace of mind."

After Yang Dongchen finished speaking, he took a step forward and golden flames suddenly ignited all around him. A loud cry resounded through the sky. It turned out to be the shadow of the legendary three-legged golden crow bird, which swallowed up Zhang Qi with the power of the divine fire that could destroy the world.

Then there was the sound of a golden sword breaking, and an old copper coin melted into ashes in the raging fire.

"Let's go. People from Linglong Sect are probably coming soon. We have to get there first!"

Yang Dongchen retracted his magical powers, called Yang Xiao up, and quickly climbed the long floating steps.

Meanwhile, a figure flashed out from a chaotic space thousands of feet away. Zhang Qi climbed up from the dusty ashes and thought to himself, "Luckily, my master gave me this puppet to take the place of death. Otherwise, I would not be able to rest in peace even after my death!"
