In Chongshan Town, Xu Junming also has a Jianmu Sacred Tree, which serves as the spiritual root that supports the world. Its size is even larger than that of the Qinglin Sect.
However, the existences that can support a Hongmeng True Realm are all vast and majestic sacred trees.
As a direct disciple of the Qinglin Sect, Ge Youli had lived in the Jianmu Sacred Tree for many years, so he was naturally familiar with the road. He activated the escape light and soon reached the edge of the tree canopy.
After making a seal with both hands, an emerald-green token flew out of the Dantian. The latter shot out a spiritual light, and a layer of light suddenly appeared in the originally empty air.
When the token aura touched it, a gap quickly opened.
Ge Youli quickly flew into it.
Arriving at the canopy of the tree, unexpectedly, there was no feeling of darkness at all. Instead, the sky was flashing with a rich emerald light. The soft light was like the quiet and bright moonlight, illuminating everything around it.
Moreover, the Aoki spiritual energy here is far stronger than outside.
You can see the jungle everywhere in the distance, like a real world.
What's strange is that countless monks are going in and out of the jungle. They don't have the usual pavilions, but live in tree holes.
Those mammoth trees with diameters of several hundred feet or tens of thousands of feet are as big as Gaoxia Guangtang. They are full of vitality, natural and interesting, and unique.
This is also a characteristic of the entire Qinglin Continent, and it is somewhat famous throughout the entire Manghuang Continent.
Ge Youli was used to the scenery of Qinglin Sect, so he didn't think it was anything.
Across hundreds of millions of miles of void, we went straight to where the main wooden pole was.
The main pole at this moment is like a huge wall with no end in sight, thick, vast, and full of amazing vitality.
Ge Youli activated the Dantian token, and a green spiritual light enveloped his whole body, and then he stepped forward. His body seemed to be a mass of running water, and he soon submerged into the main pole.
After only a moment, they came to an extremely spacious river. The raging river water rose into the sky at an alarming speed, driving Ge Youli upward quickly.
The entire Jianmu Sacred Tree is subject to numerous prohibitions imposed by the Qinglin Sect, with a total of 39,692 layers from top to bottom.
The area of each layer is no smaller than that of the Hunyuan World. Hundreds of billions of Qinglin Sect disciples and their families live on this huge tree.
The only way to span each canopy is to build wooden main poles.
The Qinglin Sect used tree veins as the basis and combined them with formations to create 39.6 million water slides. No magic power is needed, and you can easily go up and down by just relying on the flow of tree veins.
However, the higher the level, the stronger the restriction, and the higher the status of the monk.
As a Hunyuan Xuanxian, Ge Youli's authority was second only to the superior sect master and Supreme Elder. He quickly reached the top.
After exiting the tree veins, a vast world appeared in front of us.
The sun is shining brightly above, and the vast true fire of the sun is raging.
The green clouds below spread on the ground like a green floor.
The thick green wood spiritual energy is more than ten thousand times richer than the bottom layer.
In the endless cloud light, there are several majestic and handsome mountains looming in front of you. Among them are birds singing, flowers are fragrant, and Qiong Lin is beautiful.
Ge Youli had been here several times, and soon traveled tens of thousands of miles and landed on a vast cloud platform.
Salute with clasped fists and a respectful tone.
"Disciple Ge Youli, please see Senior Brother Xuantian."
The sound continued, and after a moment, the clouds in front suddenly fluctuated, and soon transformed into a human form.
This person was wearing a green cloak, with long snow-white hair draped behind his shoulders. He had a handsome face, slender ears, and a tall figure, with a faint fluorescent light shining in his narrow eyes.
The deep pupils are like an abyss, making people afraid to pry into them.
Although the strong and powerful aura has been well controlled, the occasional leak will make Ge Youli feel in awe.
He quickly bowed and saluted.
"Ge Youli meets Senior Brother Xuantian."
Xuantian Lord Sun Xun is the direct disciple of Sima Fan, the leader of Qinglin Sect, ‘Qingyuan True Lord’. With the perfect cultivation of Hunyuan Golden Immortal, he is only one step away from achieving the existence of Hongmeng.
Now, Sima Fan, who has replaced Sima Fan in seclusion, is in charge of the management of Qinglin Sect. He will only wait for him to break through Hongmeng and take over the position of head.
As for the young master Sima Nan, although he is also a strong contender for the position of head, his cultivation level is much worse than that of Xuantian Tianjun Sun Xun. Although he has a chance to break through Hongmeng, his foundation is not as solid as Sun Xun.
More importantly, Sun Xun is also Sima Fan's son-in-law.
The in-law inheritance of the Qinglin Sect seems to have become a routine since the old sect leader, ‘True Lord Qinghong’ Zhao Yuanqiu.
However, this is good, as it not only attracts elite talents, but also avoids disputes within the sect.
Internal stability is also an important reason why the Qinglin Sect earns tens of thousands of dollars and is proud of its rapid development.
"If you're not on duty at Chongshanfang, why are you back?"
"Returning to Senior Brother, the young master is missing. This disciple came back specially to report to the sect master."
Sun Xun's eyes flashed, and his tone did not know whether he was happy or angry.
"Junior Brother Sima is missing?"
"yes."
Ge Youli did not dare to neglect, and quickly explained the cause and effect.
"Give me the jade slip left by my junior brother."
Although Sima Nan emphasized that it should be handed over to Sima Fan, the sect leader, he did not have the guts to offend Sun Xun, who would succeed the sect leader in the future.
After taking it and looking at it twice, his expression remained unchanged and he handed it back to Ge Youli.
"Come with me."
After responding respectfully, under the leadership of Sun Xun, they got off the cloud platform and flew straight towards the mountains in the distance.
The beautiful mountains and rivers were getting closer and closer, but unfortunately Ge Youli, who was worried in his heart, had no intention of admiring them at all.
The two came to the middle of the mountain, and then stopped in front of a tree that was a hundred feet high and looked like a maple tree on the top of the mountain.
Feeling the powerful green wood spirit on the maple tree, Ge Youli understood in his heart and bent down unconsciously.
When he arrived here, Sun Xun's expression became respectful.
"Disciple Sun Xun asks to see his mentor."
The sounds condensed into a line and flew straight towards the maple tree.
After a while, the maple tree that had been standing still suddenly started to move.
The center of the tree trunk suddenly expanded outward, and soon a hole seven feet wide and one foot high appeared.
The green color inside is so deep that you can't see the reality clearly.
"come in."
A deep and majestic voice sounded in their ears.
"Junior Brother Ge, come on."
Ge Youli nodded, took a deep breath, and followed Sun Xun in.
Although it was not his first time here, it was his first time to come to the master's retreat place.
After entering the tree hole, a light flashed before my eyes, and soon I appeared in a space that was a hundred acres in size.
The top, bottom, left and right here are filled with light cyan aura.
Aoki's spiritual energy is a hundred times deeper than the outside world.
The profound and powerful Qingmu Dao Yun made Ge Youli want to sit down and comprehend it.
Of course, I'm just thinking about it.
Surrounded by endless cyan light, a middle-aged man wearing a light cyan robe, with bare feet, long hair hanging casually behind his back, green eyebrows, deep eyes, and a majestic expression appeared in front of the two people.
.
Seeing him, Ge Youli fell to his knees with a guilty conscience.
"Disciple Ge Youli is ashamed of the sect master and does not think highly of the young master. Please punish the sect master."
Sima Fan frowned and turned to look at Sun Xun.
"How is your junior brother's soul lamp?"
"This disciple has not been summoned by the Ancestral Master Hall. Apparently, junior brother's soul lamp is still safe and sound."
If the soul lamp is intact, it means that the person is still alive.
Turning to look at Ge Youli, "Tell me all the cause and effect."
Not daring to neglect, he quickly told everything about what happened after meeting Sima Nan, and then took out the jade plate.
"When the young master left, he specifically told him that if he could not come back, he would give this jade slip to the sect master."
Sima Fan waved and the jade slip fell into his hand.
His spiritual consciousness invaded it, and he soon discovered the unique seal his son had left in it, and also added a ray of his own soul.
"Nan'er is very cautious. With this ray of soul, he can be resurrected even if he dies."
After receiving this ray of soul and releasing the restrictions, the contents of the jade slips were also reflected in the sea of consciousness.
There wasn't much content in it, but the few lines of spiritual patterns made Sima Fan deeply moved. He lost his temper for a moment and his face suddenly changed.
"Besides you, who else has seen this jade slip?"
Ge Youli subconsciously looked at Sun Xun. The latter bowed and saluted, "I have seen it, but when I saw that my junior soul was in it, I didn't rush to break the seal."
Sima Fan nodded. The seal left by Sima Nan was based on his soul. Unless he was proficient in space Taoism and could bypass the seal, no one would be able to see its contents unless it was unlocked.
"Besides your senior brother, has anyone else seen it?"
"The disciples waited for a month in Chongshanfang and when they didn't see the young master, they rushed back to the sect with a jade plate covered with stars and moon. No one saw it again." Ge Youli swore.
He is not stupid. From the change in the sect master's expression, it can be seen that he attaches great importance to this jade plate. Of course, Ge Youli must take out his own responsibilities. Otherwise, if the sect master gets angry, his life will be ruined.
Deep eyes with no hint of joy or anger swept across his body.
Ge Youli felt as if two sharp daggers were swiping across his body. He was frightened in his heart and broke into cold sweat on his back.
"Go back, be careful to hide your whereabouts, and don't let people in Chongshan see anything strange."
Ge Youli felt as if he had been granted amnesty, "This disciple will obey the orders and will never disappoint the sect leader's expectations."
"Go ahead."
He quickly stood up and stepped back respectfully.
"Xun'er, you can go down too."
"Disciple, obey."
"etc."
The two stopped quickly.
"What happened today is not allowed to be told outside, especially not to your master's wife. Do you understand?"
"Disciple, obey."
The two of them exited the tree hole. After Ge Youli said hello, they left quickly. He wished that he would not get involved in these troubles and would not stop at all.
This is not the case with Sun Xun. His status is much higher than that of Ge Youli, so he naturally has more considerations.
Looking at the tree hole that was closed again, thinking about the change in the teacher's expression before, I became more and more curious about the contents.
"Although I don't know what is written in it, it must be related to Chongshan Academy."
Subconsciously, he thought of the news he knew about Chongshan.
"Xu Junming is not a simple figure who can sweep across the Chiyang State and make it impossible to pour water out of his business and prevent his needles from entering. If we fight against him, our Qinglin Sect may not be sure of victory, and we may not be able to win.
There is a risk of overthrow."
Thinking of this, his brows furrowed, and a deep worry gathered in his heart.
However, although he is the direct disciple of Qinglin Sect, he has not broken through Hongmeng. He is not qualified to participate in such a major event that determines the future of the sect.
After Ge Youli and Sun Xun left, the forbidden law was restored, and peace was completely restored in the tree hole space.
Holding the jade plate in his hand, his face showed a hint of disbelief again.
However, he believed that his son would never lie to him about such a major matter. Moreover, Sima Nan's disappearance itself confirmed what the jade disc contained.
"With Nan'er's cultivation, being able to capture him without any movement at all would only be possible if he had to be a powerful Hongmeng. So, it was Xu Junming who took action."
"...Haha, I was originally worried about how to figure out this person's strength and the details of Chongshan Academy, but now it seems that there is no need. With the strength of the Immortal Clan, plus my Qinglin Sect, it is enough to sweep Chongshan Academy.
Incorporating Chongshan Dazhou into our Qinglin Sect will bring our sect's strength to a higher level."
I became more and more excited when I thought about my success.
As the leader of Qinglin Sect, what he wants to do most is to expand the power of Qinglin Sect. Only in this way can he gather stronger luck and help him break through Hongmeng Grand Master in the future.
As for his son Sima Nan.
Since he is not dead now, it means that Xu Junming will not kill him so quickly. He has enough time to make plans.
Thinking of this, I have no intention of retreating anymore.
He activated his escape technique and quietly exited the tree hole space. After leaving Qinglin Pavilion, he flew straight towards the secret realm of the Immortal Clan above the Nine Heavens.
Because of the good relationship between the two parties, he has been to the fairyland's secret land many times and is very familiar with it.
Moreover, he has been a close friend of Yu Changan, the leader of the Immortal Clan for many years, so it was easy for him to meet this old friend whom he had not seen in dozens of Yuanhui halls in Huangji Hall.
"How come fellow Daoist Sima has the leisure to come to my Huangji Palace?"
"I am very quiet and thinking. I am worried that I have not seen my old friend for many years, so I came here for a leisurely trip. I hope my fellow Taoist will not blame me for disturbing him."
"What are you talking about, old friend? You and I have been close friends for many years. It's too late for me to be happy that you can come, so why should I blame you? Please come quickly."
"please."
The two walked into the Huangji Palace together, and the guests and hosts took their seats. Yu Changan ordered the disciples to serve tea and cakes, and then they had a feast with each other.
Stopped in tacit agreement.
They keep talking about it, but they have known each other for many years, and they both understand that they both have the kind of temperament that would not go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything.
By this time, Sima Fan was no longer polite.
"Old friend, do you know about Chongshan Academy?"
"Naturally. Xu Junming, the master of Chongshan Academy, the True Lord of Taichu Chongshan, is rumored to claim to be able to refine Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures and Spiritual Pills. However, this has never been confirmed since the beginning of the Duanhui Association. Most of them are lies and exaggerations. However, this person
If you can sweep across Chiyang Province, you probably still have some strength."
"...By the way, my old friend's Qinglin State is adjacent to it, and he deliberately mentioned this person. Is there something new?"
Sima Fan smiled.
"As for the ability to refine Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures and Spirit Pills, our Qinglin Sect has tried many methods to verify it, but we have not received any strong evidence. However, by accident, we have obtained a confidential matter related to fellow Taoists?"
"About me?"
Yu Changan frowned slightly.
He knew that although his old friend was a bit unruly in temperament, he was not someone who told lies.
