Because of the existence of Xingxiu Tianchi and its irresistible attraction for any Nascent Soul monk, a set of special rules were spontaneously formed for the inheritance of the Nascent Soul Ancestor of Xingxiu Palace.

Under normal circumstances, there is only one Nascent Soul Ancestor in the Xingxiu Palace.

When the former Yuan Ying ancestor feels that his life is about to end and his time is running out, the carefully selected successor will be ready.

The death of the previous Yuanying Ancestor and the rise of the new Yuanying Ancestor can be almost seamlessly connected.

Of course, this is normal.

This is obviously an abnormal situation. The previous Yuan Ying ancestor suddenly died without any warning.

He himself made no arrangements for his death, and Xingxiu Palace also had no preparations and had to urgently close the mountain.

From a certain perspective, this actually unlocks an invisible chain.

Everyone in Xingxiu Palace has been given a chance to compete fairly.

Under normal circumstances, this invisible chain will appear again soon.

When a new Yuanying appears and activates the Xingxiu Tianchi as quickly as possible, the road leading to Yuanying will be blocked again.

However, this time there was an "abnormal" situation in the mountain closure.

Those who charged the fiercest and most ferociously not only failed to break through the barrier from the Core Formation to the Nascent Soul, but instead all of them suffered head injuries and were bleeding.

Nearly two hundred years have passed, and no new Nascent Soul has been born.

When "Elder Senior Brother" was finally the first to cross the pass, "Second Senior Sister" rushed over right after.

Not long after, "Third Junior Brother" and even "Fourth Junior Sister" also rushed over.

After nearly two hundred years of "gathering momentum", everyone has gathered enough energy, and the time between sprints and breakthroughs is very short.

It cannot be said that "Senior Brother" or "Second Senior Sister" have never had this thought in their hearts.

However, before it was officially activated, there were already many "junior brothers and junior sisters" closely following behind.

——The opening of Xingxiu Tianchi has some special restrictions. It does not mean that it can be activated immediately. It always requires some preparation.

In addition, they came to the position under abnormal circumstances and did not receive any guidance from their predecessors, so they had to explore everything on their own.

Because of this actual situation, even if they had private thoughts about this, they were naturally suppressed in their hearts for the time being.

The effect of Xingxiu Tianchi is really amazing, but with so many people, how many of them can fall into their mouths?

The benefits cannot be enjoyed exclusively, but the initiator will inevitably be ostracized and targeted by the entire constellation palace, intentionally or unintentionally, openly or covertly.

Because they understood this, both the "senior brother" and the "second senior sister" simply remained silent on this sensitive issue.

After they broke through the Nascent Soul, they never even talked about this topic.

It's as if Xingxiu Tianchi doesn't exist at all.

Now, the "Third Junior Brother" took the initiative to expose the issue and made his own attitude explicit.

There was a long silence.

Seeing that the two of them were silent, Lian Ziling sneered in his heart and asked directly: "What do you say?"

His eyes first looked at "Second Senior Sister".

Feeling his gaze, "Second Senior Sister" felt a little guilty for no reason and said:

"To restart Xingxiu Tianchi, we must at least solve the mysterious forbidden talisman array first. This cannot be done in a short time."

She did not answer directly, but her answer could not be regarded as prevarication.

The fourth-level Mysterious Forbidden Talisman Array is not so easy to solve without the oral instruction from the previous Yuanying Ancestor.

Lian Ziling said: "I know the solution."

"Ah?!!" "Second Senior Sister" heard this and looked at Lian Ziling sharply.

The expression on his face was very complicated, ranging from shock, suspicion, and scrutiny.

She didn't speak, but those talking eyes seemed to ask again, "How do you know? How could you possibly know?"

The "elder brother" next to her looked similar to her, and his eyes were sharper.

Lian Ziling said lightly:

"If you have nothing else to do, go to the library and have a look. Maybe a certain passage mentioned casually by someone in the past contains the answer that we have been thinking about but can't figure out."

The two of them were thoughtful after hearing the words.

Lian Ziling looked at "Senior Brother" and asked: "Senior Brother, what do you say?"

After a moment of silence, "Big Brother" finally spoke:

"Since junior brother proposes this, it can indeed bring us great help in a short period of time, so I have no reason to object in principle."

After saying that, he paused and quickly added: "However, we still have to seek the opinion of Fourth Junior Sister on this matter first."

Hearing the other party's reply, Lian Ziling sneered again in his heart.

But he said calmly: "Okay, in that case, let's act quickly."

…

Meng Zhou didn't know what specific changes had taken place in the Xingxiu Palace.

But the changes in the secret forces loyal to the Xingxiu Palace, including the Qiao family, had already sounded the alarm in his mind.

Meng Zhou spent some time reorganizing the information compiled through "Transparent Dao Heart" and "Celestial Phenomenon Deduction".

While retaining the core conclusions unchanged, the amount of information was first significantly reduced.

Then, some information that was too detailed was blurred, and some of it was so secret that it was almost impossible for outsiders to know it and completely erased it.

After such a "compression desensitization" process, two communication spells flew out of Qi Yunfeng.

The communication spell that gave birth to two wings of light spanned hundreds of thousands of miles of void and submerged into two mountain peaks one after another.

Soon, two figures escaped from the two peaks and rushed towards Qiyun Peak.

Finally, the two figures met outside Qiyun Peak.

The two people who appeared had a brief exchange. The two people, who were still a little confused, entered Qi Yunfeng through a large formation gap that automatically opened in front of them.

These two people were none other than Qingtang and Qingyao who were sitting at the mountain gate.

After entering Qiyun Peak, the two of them immediately saw "Qihuangzi" who was in the stone pavilion on the cliff.

At this moment, "Qihuangzi" was sitting cross-legged in the pavilion, slowly cooking a pot of new tea, as if waiting for their arrival.

The two exchanged glances, and their swift trajectory in the air drew a slight arc, and they soon entered the stone pavilion.

The two of them stood opposite "Qihuangzi", and Qingyao asked directly: "I don't know why my friend summoned me and me?"

Although they had very little contact with "Qihuangzi" and had never had close friendship with each other, they had basically figured out the temperament of the person in front of them.

Even if the two parties are close at hand, if there is no extremely important matter, he will definitely not summon the two of them, let alone invite them to visit together.

Meng Zhou put the cooked new tea aside and motioned to the two of them: "Sit down and talk."

After the two of them sat down and drank two cups of hot tea with full of questions, he asked:

"I wonder if you have noticed that the hidden forces that have always been well hidden in recent years are becoming more and more active?"

Qingtang and Qingyao were slightly startled when they heard this. They didn't expect "Qi Huangzi" to ask such a question.

Finally, Qingyao answered "Qihuangzi"'s question head-on.

He nodded and said, "I noticed it."

As he spoke, he added:

"Although we have taken the confidentiality work to the extreme, the movements of the ancestors of the five sects have received extraordinary attention.

They have been away from the sect for a long time and are active outside. It is impossible for the outside world to not notice anything.

On the other hand, with so many ancestors acting together over the years and traveling all over the five regions, it is inevitable that some traces will be revealed."

"Those hidden forces have always been very sensitive to the movements of the Five Sects, so some changes are inevitable."

Meng Zhou nodded. Qingyao's judgment was basically the same as his initial judgment on this matter.

Immediately afterwards, he raised a question again:

"Then I wonder if you have noticed that the activity level of the secret forces within the jurisdiction of Qingxuan Domain is much lower than that of the other four domains?"

Qingyao was stunned: "Is there any?"

Then, he fell into deep thought and seemed to be judging the authenticity of "Qihuangzi" based on the information he knew.

After a long time, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"It's actually like this!...How could it be like this?"

He first sighed subconsciously, and then asked questions, wanting to explore the reasons behind this.

The question raised by "Qihuangzi" was something he had never thought about before.

He believed that not only him, but also others had not discovered this hidden pattern.
