In the early morning, the sun rises and illuminates the earth.
The three thousand stone stairs were covered with a thick layer of snow.
The ancient Shentai City is located on the top of Yunshan Mountain at the end of the stairs. It has red walls and white tiles, and is majestic.
Zhang Ruochen, Chi Kongle, and Moyin walked on the empty stairs, leaving three sets of footprints, and entered the city. Xiao Hei had left last night to find the Supreme Being, and did not go with Zhang Ruochen and the others.
Even though it was early morning, many stores were already open in the city, and disciples of the Liangyi Sect wearing white and blue robes were coming and going, buying elixirs and trading recently obtained resources.
Although the three of them used their spiritual power to cover up their appearance, the invisible and majestic temperament on their bodies still attracted the attention of many monks.
However, everyone has become accustomed to it and is not too surprised.
Since the peach tree turned into the spiritual root of heaven and earth, after thousands of years, the Kunlun world has completely recovered.
In addition, the First Central Empire has opened the "Heavenly Wheel Seal", the time and space treasure left by the holy monk Xumi. Today, in the Kunlun world, strong people emerge in endlessly. From time to time, peerless geniuses appear, or unparalleled figures rise.
In this era, there are too many strong people!
Zhang Ruochen knew that Chi Kongle was deeply influenced by the murderous will of Xiuchen God, and could be called half a Shura, so he deliberately brought her to the mortal world to see the smoke and fire in the world and the appearance of all living beings in the mortal world.
Zhang Ruochen said with a smile: "This Shentai City is where the families of Liangyi Sect disciples from all generations gathered together and gradually developed into an ancient city for cultivation. Now, looking at the scene, it is about to transform into a holy city."
Chi Kongle said: "There are many holy cities in the hell world. The city lords of the holy cities of the Blood Sky tribe have to bow down and salute when they see me. Such a city is not even a holy city. I can destroy it by myself."
"
Chi Kongle was still very young when he was taken away from the Kunlun Realm by Wan Xin, a disciple of Xiuchen God. Now, his memory of the Kunlun Realm is very vague.
She spends more time in the Blood Sky Tribe.
Zhang Ruochen was very patient and was not in a hurry to change her at once. He still smiled and said, "Look, those wearing white robes are outer disciples. Those wearing blue robes are inner disciples."
“Back then, when I entered the Liangyi Sect to practice, the outer disciples were all at the Earthly Realm. The vast majority of the inner disciples were at the Heavenly Realm.”
“Now, most of the outer disciples are at the Tianji Realm! The inner disciples are not only at the Fish and Dragon Realm, but some have even reached the Semi-Saint level.”
“In recent years, the overall strength of the Kunlun Realm has increased countless times.”
Zhang Ruochen sighed sincerely, with an indescribable joy in his heart.
After all, he also played a part in protecting the Kunlun Realm back then.
The current prosperous situation is worthy of his taking a few more glances.
As for how people in the world evaluate him, it doesn't matter at all. He only does things with a clear conscience.
Moyin said: "Master, look at the white silk mourning flags hanging in the city. It seems that some important figure in the Liang Yi Sect has died."
“In this day and age, it’s not surprising that anyone dies.” Zhang Ruochen said.
Passing through Shentai City, we walked slowly along the tree-lined path, as if we were traveling in the mountains and rivers, and entered the Liangyi Sect.
With Zhang Ruochen's current level of cultivation, there is no way Liangyi Sect's formations can stop him.
Liangyi Sect has three palaces, seventy-two courtyards, and one Lingshan mountain.
Zhang Ruochen first went to the Zixia Lingshan Mountain in Changshengyuan, where the purple energy was majestic and the holy clouds were endless. Thousands of inner disciples were facing the rising sun, practicing swordsmanship on the cliff, full of youthful spirit and passionate struggle.
I went to the Imperial College again, where the young female disciples were all young and beautiful, some of them so beautiful that they earned the name of fairies.
Then we went to the Demon-Suppressing Institute, Kongjing Institute...
It’s a pity that after traveling through thousands of mountains, I saw an old friend.
Some of them ran out of life and were buried in the mountains, with only a solitary tombstone left. Some died in battles, with no bones left.
On the road of cultivation, the one who remains is the king.
It is difficult to find one person among the tens of billions of monks who can become a god, and more people will eventually die on this road.
Shangqing Palace is one of the three palaces of Liangyi Sect and governs thirty-six Lingshan Mountains.
Today, they can be called thirty-six holy mountains.
Every palace in the Shangqing Palace, including the Cloud Tower, the Shimen, and the Wu Tower, all have white mourning flags hung on their doors. All the disciples entering and exiting wore mourning clothes on top of their Taoist robes.
There was an endless stream of disciples entering the palace to offer incense.
On the square outside the palace, there is a huge copper tripod. The tripod is black with rust and has an ancient charm. It is protected by a formation in the center and no monks can get close to it.
This tripod is used to worship heaven, and inside it is preserved the sword intent of the holy monks of the Liangyi Sect throughout the ages.
Thousands of years ago, during the coronation ceremony of the disciples of the Holy Tradition, this copper cauldron would come in handy. Every disciple of the Holy Tradition could enter the cauldron to find opportunities for sword intent.
Zhang Ruochen found a unique opportunity in the bronze tripod of worshiping the sky, integrating the sword intentions of the three founders of the Liangyi Sect, Shangqing, Taiqing, and Yuqing.
Later on, Zhang Ruochen's swordsmanship was so smooth, he was able to break through again and again, and he was able to cultivate into the third-level swordsmanship. It is hard to say that without the assistance of Sanqing swordsmanship.
Now that he has entered the divine realm, Zhang Ruochen once again stood under the bronze cauldron offering sacrifices to the sky, and he felt an incomprehensible feeling in his heart.
In my mind, for some unknown reason, the scene when I first saw Jiuding in the abyss of darkness emerged.
The nine great witch ancestors cast nine tripods.
Those who obtain the Nine Cauldrons can command the world, and all tribes will obey.
Jiuding can be said to be the number one artifact in the world.
Zhang Ruochen doesn’t think that this bronze tripod for worshiping the sky has anything to do with Jiuding, but maybe he is too yearning for Jiuding, and when he sees all the tripods in the world, he can’t help but have some associations.
“The shape of this tripod is somewhat similar to one of the nine tripods.”
Unknowingly, Zhang Ruochen walked into the formation, came to the foot of the cauldron, and reached out to touch it.
Even if they are similar, it is normal.
The tripods in the world are all made by extending, copying, and imitating the shape of the nine tripods.
“Who dares to break into the formation and touch the copper cauldron for worshiping the sky?” An elder who had reached the realm of a holy king roared angrily.
A sword light flew straight towards Zhang Ruochen in the formation.
Chi Kongle's eyes turned cold, and he waved out his sleeves. A blast of evil power shattered the holy sword flying towards Zhang Ruochen into pieces.
Including the Saint King Realm elder, he was also hit by Qi Jin.
Looking at his body, it was about to be torn apart.
Suddenly, a river of strong masculine flame energy surged out of the Shangqing Palace, wrapping around the Saint King Realm elder and pulling him to the square.
“Bang!”
The palace that was hit by Chi Kongle, the defensive formation flashed with light, and then the entire temple collapsed.
“Swish! Swish!”
The sound of breaking wind kept ringing out, densely packed.
In an instant, all the saints gathered outside the Shangqing Palace, all holding holy swords and staring at the three people under the bronze cauldron of the altar as if they were facing a powerful enemy.
A beautiful woman with a tall and outstanding figure walked out of the Shangqing Palace surrounded by saints.
This woman wears a large black Taoist robe. Her long hair hangs down to the ground, tied with a hairband, and a simple wooden hairpin is inserted into her head. Her skin is as frosty as snow, and her waist is as thin as a willow. Although she has a face as beautiful as an immortal, she is cold and cold.
abnormal.
The river of flame energy that rescued the Saint King Realm elder flew back to her palm and disappeared into her body.
With her starry eyes, she glanced at Zhang Ruochen and the other three, and finally settled on Chi Kongle, saying: "Your Excellency has such a strong evil aura that he doesn't restrain his aura from the hell realm at all. Do you really think that there is no one in the Kunlun realm, so you can do whatever you want?"
“What, a monk from hell?”
"How arrogant. There are many gods in the Kunlun Realm now. How dare the monks from the Hell Realm come to invade?"
…
The surrounding powerful men of the Holy Realm of the Liangyi Sect were shocked, angry and hateful.
Chi Kongle confronted the woman in black Taoist robes and said, "Your cultivation level is not bad, do you dare to fight with me?"
The woman in the black Taoist robe poked out her delicate jade hands from her sleeves and said, "If you want to die, I'll just send you on your way."
Two women are about to fight.
Zhang Ruochen withdrew his gaze from the bronze tripod on the altar, put his hands behind his back, turned to look at the woman in black robes, and said with a smile: "Senior Sister, I have a radical personality, and I have offended many things. Please forgive me."
Stepping out of the formation, Zhang Ruochen crossed over Chi Kongle and Moyin and stood opposite the woman in black robes. A lot of the mental energy covering his body was dissipated.
Looking at Zhang Ruochen's face clearly, the woman in black robe frowned slightly and complained: "I'm telling you, no monk in the hell realm has the courage to break into the Kunlun realm and cause trouble. It's you!"
“Isn’t it me!”
Zhang Ruochen was very shocked when he looked at Gai Tianjiao's current appearance.
Looking sideways and carefully, where is the majesty of the past still there?
She is simply a peerless beauty with infinite charm, and the black robe on her body adds to the mystery.
However, in his mind, recalling her past appearance and comparing her current beauty, Zhang Ruochen really didn't dare to look directly at her, so he had to look away and look elsewhere.
“Everyone, please retreat!” Gai Tianjiao said.
“Yes, suzerain.”
Although the saints did not know who was coming, since the sect master was here, they did not dare to make any mistakes, so they retreated one after another.
Gai Tianjiao walked up and said, "Is this Kong Le? I can't recognize him at all. His temperament and personality have simply undergone earth-shaking changes."
“Isn’t it Senior Sister?” Zhang Ruochen said in a half-joking tone.
Gai Tianjiao said: "You know, the reason why I became like that was because someone plotted against me and the yang energy in my body was out of balance."
“You said that you don’t care about your appearance at all. Why have you restored your appearance now?” Zhang Ruochen said.
At the beginning, there were four great beauties in Liangyi Sect.
Gai Tianjiao ranked first, and her beauty was even higher than that of Han Qiu and Qi Feiyu.
Gai Tianjiao snorted softly: "How can it be so easy to restore your appearance? If you rely on the art of transformation, you will only be ridiculed after being seen through."
After a pause, she said: "There are some secrets that I really don't want to tell."
“Everyone has his own secret. If you don’t want to tell it, then don’t tell it!” Zhang Ruochen said.
Gai Tianjiao said: "But, here, I want to tell you. Maybe you can provide me with some clues to help me find that hateful weirdo."
“What weirdo?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
Gai Tianjiao said: "I feel ashamed to say it. I was captured by a weirdo and he force-fed me medicine. After three months of feeding, my appearance recovered and my cultivation improved greatly. I don't know, this
Is it a great shame or a great opportunity?"
“This happened in the Kunlun realm?”
“That’s right.”
“There shouldn’t be many people who can capture Senior Sister! Could it be that the other party is a god?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
Gai Tianjiao said: "Except for gods, I don't think I would be so embarrassed when meeting any monk. Those three months were simply the darkest period of my life. I sought death many times and failed!"
“Why did Senior Sister say that I can provide you with clues?” Zhang Ruochen said.
Gai Tianjiao stared at Zhang Ruochen closely and said, "Every time that weirdo gives me medicine, he will say, 'My family is unfortunate, the Zhang family is in disgrace, how come future generations like someone with such a strong taste.'"
Zhang Ruochen pretended to be calm, but he already knew in his heart who the weirdo Gai Tianjiao was talking about was.
It’s all your own fault.
I said the wrong thing at the beginning!
Had I known that the old immortal took the matter of carrying on the family line so seriously, I shouldn't have mentioned Gai Tianjiao's name.
Zhang Ruochen pretended to be deep in thought and said: "The Zhang family... the Zhang family... it's really hard to guess. After all, there are many monks named Zhang in the Kunlun world, and the other party may not be a monk from the Kunlun world."
“Sister, don’t think too much about it, this is a good thing after all.”
"If that weirdo appears again, go and report it to the gods. There will always be gods who can stop his evil deeds. I firmly believe that those who do many unjust things will be punished by themselves. Such people will be accepted by heaven sooner or later."
