The atmosphere was deathly silent, and everyone was as dumbfounded as clay statues. △↗
Even the two Lingji Divine Sect disciples guarding the mountain gate had their eyes wide open at this moment, as if they had seen a ghost.
"You bastard! You haven't opened the gate yet!"
Seeing them like this, Mo Daochen couldn't help but yelled loudly.
The two disciples seemed to have woken up from a dream, and they hurriedly protected the mountain gods and stood at a distance with humility on their faces.
"Senior, please!"
After the initial shock, Mo Daochen had regained his consciousness a little. He saw that Empress Yu Che did not intend to reveal her identity, so he wisely did not mention Empress Yu Che's name when addressing her.
Empress Yu Che nodded.
It wasn't that she was bullying others, she had never intimidated Mo Daochen once from beginning to end, all of this was done by Mo Daochen himself.
Mo Daochen, on the other hand, looked like it was natural.
When he was just a Taoist boy, he had the honor to go to visit Empress Yuche with his master Liuyazi. Naturally, he knew how lofty the status of Empress Yuche was. Even when his master Liuyazi met, he was treated as a junior.
Go treat it!
"Xiao Yao, come here." Chen Xi waved to Xiao Yao, who was in a sluggish state in the distance.
"oh."
Xiao Yao felt excited all over and hurriedly stepped forward with a look of awe and fear on his face.
"Senior, who is this?"
Only then did Mo Daochen notice Chen Xi and couldn't help but ask respectfully.
"Chen Xun, my companion."
Empress Yu Che explained casually.
"It turns out to be Senior Chen Xun."
Mo Daochen saluted quickly, but secretly guessed in his heart, Chen Xun? Is this also an emperor?
While they were talking, Chen Xi and his party, led by Mo Daochen, had entered the mountain gate of the Lingji Divine Sect.
It took a long time for everyone present to wake up from the shock, but at this moment their expressions were extremely complicated.
Finally, they understood that the woman was not just pretending. Just from Mo Daochen's frightened and respectful attitude, they knew that the other party was not only an old friend of Liu Yazi, but even more terrifying!
Dang! Dang!
A loud bell sounded from the mountain gate in the distance.
"When the time is up, disciples who are participating in the test please enter the mountain gate and wait. Others who have nothing to do with it should stay where they are and wait."
A Lingji Divine Sect disciple guarding in front of the mountain gate announced loudly.
Everyone was refreshed and immediately came out. After checking their identities, they entered the mountain gate.
Only Meng Yuanqing was rejected.
"Why?" He was shocked and angry.
"Why do you know it in your heart?" the Lingji Divine Sect disciple said expressionlessly.
"Is it because of Xiao Chu?" Meng Yuanqing was not a fool. He vaguely guessed something at once, and his face completely fell.
"As long as you understand." The disciple said coldly, "I am doing this for your own good. If the third elder learns that you and Xiao Zhu have had a dispute, you should know what the consequences will be."
Meng Yuanqing was stunned, his face turned earth-colored, he was in despair, and there was an uncontrollable feeling of regret and confusion in his heart.
Just because he was the son of a slave, he lost a great opportunity to become a disciple and practice. Who should be blamed for this?
…
There are many pavilions in the Lingji Shenzong, row after row, the mountains are beautiful, and the divine light is transpiring. It is like a divine kingdom carved out of the mountains, which is spectacular.
Back mountain.
This place is the forbidden area of the Lingji Divine Sect, and Taishang Elder Liu Yazi retreats here.
Under the orders of Empress Yu Che, Mo Daochen led Chen Xi and his group straight to the back mountain without disturbing the rest of the sect.
"Master, an old friend is visiting."
Taking a deep breath, Mo Daochen stood in front of a cave and spoke respectfully.
"Old friend?"
In the cave, a deep voice suddenly came out, "Dao Shen, who is this old friend? If you are an ordinary person, please tell them that I am at a critical moment in my practice and cannot entertain guests."
Mo Daochen glanced awkwardly at Empress Yu Che next to him, and then said respectfully: "Master, it's... the seniors from Snow Ink Territory, they are already here."
"Who? Could it be..."
The sound suddenly became louder, and the next moment, the cave restrictions suddenly opened, and a thin and old figure emerged.
This man was dressed in gray clothes, with white hair and a childlike face. When his eyes opened and closed, his divine light was flowing, which was truly terrifying.
But when he saw Empress Yu Che, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he said in shock: "It turns out to be you, senior Yu Che."
This person is naturally Liu Yazi, the Supreme Elder of the Lingji Divine Sect, an existence at the peak of the Ancestral God state.
"After so many years, I didn't expect that you are only one step away from being able to step into the realm of an emperor. It's really gratifying." Empress Yu Che said calmly.
"It's really you." Liu Yazi's face became excited and surprised, and he said quickly, "Quick, please come in and talk."
"Wait a minute, let's arrange this little guy first. Just now in front of the mountain gate, because of my words, he got into trouble." Empress Yu Che pointed at Xiao Yao next to her and said.
Xiao Yao looked extremely uneasy, but he was not a dull person. After hearing this, he quickly bowed and saluted: "Disciple Xiao Yao, I have met my senior."
"arrange?"
Liu Yazi nodded towards Xiao Yao, then looked at Empress Yu Che with confusion.
"Yes, this little guy is devoted to Taoism. This time he is destined to come to Lingji Divine Sect with me, hoping to worship and practice in your sect."
Empress Yu Che explained casually.
Liu Yazi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He thought it was something. It turned out that he was just arranging for a young man to join the sect and practice. This was nothing to him.
At the moment, he looked at Mo Daochen, who understood and quickly said: "Master, don't worry, this matter is left to me."
"Thank you, senior."
Xiao Yao was so excited that he knelt down and kowtowed.
"Ha, you little guy is very affectionate and righteous, and you know how to repay your kindness. It's not bad. From now on, you can practice in the sect with peace of mind, and I will keep you safe for a bright future."
Liu Yazi laughed heartily.
"Let's go, little one."
Mo Daochen raised his hand to help Xiao Yao up. After saying goodbye to everyone, he floated away with Xiao Yao.
Chen Xi knew very well that based on the reputation of Empress Yu Che, Xiao Zhu would never be ignored in the Lingji Divine Sect in the future.
"Senior Yu Che, please."
Liu Yazi smiled broadly and invited warmly, "I collected some Yunjing divine tea a few years ago. I would like to take this opportunity to give you a review."
…
After a stick of incense.
Two figures left the Lingji Divine Sect and flew toward the southwest of Luojia Mountain.
"Didn't Mr. Da give you a piece of purple bamboo? According to my deduction, Taichu Temple should be near the purple bamboo stream that Liuyazi mentioned."
"Yes, I think so too, but according to what Liu Yazi said, the environment there is a bit unusual."
"It's better to go and investigate first."
These two people were none other than Chen Xi and Empress Yu Che.
Because of Empress Yu Che's relationship, Chen Xi almost effortlessly learned some useful clues from Liu Yazi, the supreme elder of the Lingji Divine Sect.
What makes Chen Xi regretful is that Liu Yazi has no idea what kind of power Taichu Guan is. He doesn't even know that besides the Lingji Divine Sect, there are other powers in the Luojia Sacred Mountain.
However, according to the clues provided by Liu Yazi, Chen Xi learned that it turned out that the Luojia Sacred Mountain was also filled with many mysterious and unpredictable places, which had not yet been completely occupied by the Lingji Divine Sect.
For example, the area where "Purple Bamboo Creek" is located is an extremely dangerous area.
In that area, there is a mysterious ancient restriction. If you don't know how to break it, even if you enter the Ancestral God Realm, you will be robbed and your body will be destroyed. It is extremely powerful.
In history, the Lingji Divine Sect has sent experts to explore more than once, but in the end no one survived, which also made the Lingji Divine Sect completely give up on occupying that area.
However, this clue made Chen Xi feel excited, because when he came here, his senior brother Wu Xuechan had given him a piece of purple bamboo.
Zizhu, Zizhu Creek... I'm afraid there is some kind of connection between them!
…
When Chen Xi felt that he had moved thousands of miles away, he finally saw the place where Zizhu Creek was located.
The first thing that catches your eyelids is a deep and quiet canyon. An extremely clear stream flows in the canyon, winding and twisting. Next to the stream, there is a dense purple bamboo forest.
Each purple bamboo is straight and handsome, reaching straight into the clouds. The veins of the leaves are glowing with purple light, floating in the void, giving people a dreamlike and blurred color.
The atmosphere was quiet, except for the sound of the gurgling stream. The purple bamboo forests on both sides of the stream swayed in the wind, making a rustling sound.
If one were not aware of the dangers lurking here, people would think that this is a paradise-like place.
Whoosh!
Chen Xi flicked his fingers and sent out a wisp of sword energy, cutting through time and space and rushing into the canyon.
Buzz~~~
Before the sword energy could get closer, everything that was originally quiet and quiet suddenly changed, producing a strange wave. Pieces of purple mist steamed up, completely covering the canyon.
After Chen Xi's sword energy entered, it was like a mud cow entering the sea, disappearing without a trace without causing a single ripple.
Um?
Chen Xi narrowed his eyes and realized keenly that even his own thoughts could no longer detect the reality in the canyon!
"This is indeed a mysterious and unpredictable divine forbidden area. From what I can see, murderous intent lingers within it, capable of killing gods and demons. Even if I venture into it, I'm afraid I will be in great danger."
Empress Yu Che had a frightening luster in her clear eyes, and her voice was a little solemn. She was also testing and felt the horror in it.
"It seems that the Taichu Temple is really hidden in it. Next, let me see how powerful a divine forbidden city is."
Chen Xi took a deep breath, and a strange look appeared between his brows.
Forbidden by God?
For Chen Xi, who was born in Shenyan Mountain and had already reached the transcendent level of Talisman Dao, this obviously did not have much deterrent effect.
"You want to break the formation?" Empress Yu Che said in surprise.
"If we can find a way out of this, we won't have to break the formation."
Chen Xi answered without turning his head, his mind was already attracted by the divine forbidden hall in front of him.
