Chapter 93: Zhoutian Si

Cailian was stunned.

Not the right time yet?

She found it somewhat hard to understand.

Her master had never been like this before!

How had he started becoming so indecisive?

While Cailian was feeling depressed, Su Yuanshan was pondering the words Huo Jun had spoken earlier, regarding Peach Blossom Immortal!

Huo Jun had seemingly said that even if the Centipede Spirit and he joined forces, they would still be no match for Taohua Xianren!

Taohua Xianren, is it?

The corners of Su Yuanshan's mouth could not help but curl upward!

He knew very well that the so-called Taohua Xianren was merely a title; he was definitely not an immortal! Perhaps this was just a way of affirming his formidable strength.

He thought to himself, I originally assumed that upon entering Taoyuan Xujing, I would soon be able to find Taohua Xianren and settle things with him, but it seems I was a bit too optimistic.

I hope my guess is wrong, I hope those people from the Guiyuan Sect are right, and I hope they can successfully find a solution.

Thinking of this, Su Yuanshan turned and walked toward the mountain forest; Sima Wuhen felt a bit strange and could not help but call out to him.

"Daoist Brother, where are you going? What are you going to do?"

Su Yuanshan replied indifferently.

"It is too noisy here; I am going into the mountain forest to have some quiet. When those people from the Guiyuan Sect return, come over and tell me."

Sima Wuhen was heard reminding him.

"Old Brother, do not go too far, lest you encounter danger."

Su Yuanshan made a gesture indicating he understood and walked away without looking back.

He stepped heavily and lightly on the gravel and fallen leaves, arriving at a secluded spot.

The reason he did not fly directly but walked instead was to conserve his stamina as much as possible for any unforeseen needs.

After all, this was Taoyuan Xujing, not some peaceful place; it was filled with unknowns and dangers everywhere.

Therefore, having more stamina meant having a better chance of winning.

The pine trees here were tall and straight, and the pine needles at the very top were like layers of green clouds.

The mountain rocks were uneven and scattered across the mountainside, and clear springs flowed through the pine forest with a gurgling sound.

Su Yuanshan took out three ancient coins, set up a defensive array, and then found a clean rock to sit cross-legged upon.

He observed his nose with his eyes, his mouth with his nose, and his heart with his mouth, gradually beginning to comprehend the "Purple Mansion Immortal Scripture."

"The Heavenly Dao is heartless, often kind to people; great enlightenment is without ignorance, only the heart finds peace on its own..."

As he comprehended, one could see tiny, fluorescent-like specks of light in the mountains gradually gathering above his head, finally sinking into his body and disappearing.

At the same time, he sensed that golden characters were beginning to emerge once again on the spirit bead of the Spirit Void Ring.

【Purple Mansion Immortal Scripture +1】

【Purple Mansion Immortal Scripture +1】

【Purple Mansion Immortal Scripture +1】

I do not know how much time passed, but suddenly a flash of inspiration struck Su Yuanshan's mind, and he felt a sense of clarity within his heart, as if he had attained some enlightenment.

At the same time, the spirit bead inside the Spirit Void Ring once again displayed golden characters.

【Obtained Immortal Scripture special effect: Purple Star Astrology (cannot be upgraded, duration: one hour): Possesses the miraculous ability to predict heavenly secrets and foresee the future.】

Su Yuanshan was slightly stunned; he had not expected to comprehend an ability with a time limit.

And this ability seemed to be..................

"Daoist Brother... Daoist Brother..."

Suddenly, calls came from afar; judging by the voice, it seemed to be Sima Wuhen.

Su Yuanshan had no choice but to put away his thoughts, slowly open his eyes, and slide down from that flat rock.

Then he responded.

"I am here! Have those people from the Guiyuan Sect returned?"

Sima Wuhen walked over, sighed, and said.

"Old Brother guessed correctly, the people from the Guiyuan Sect have indeed returned. But ten went, and only one returned!"

Su Yuanshan raised an eyebrow upon hearing this and asked.

"What exactly is going on?"

Sima Wuhen replied helplessly.

"I do not know the specific situation either; I only heard about it.

That disciple seems to have been terrified out of his wits, repeating only one sentence over and over!"

Su Yuanshan's brow could not help but furrow as he asked.

"What sentence?"

Sima Wuhen looked into the distance, his brow furrowed into a "chuan" shape, and he replied softly.

"He said: 'Zhoutian Si.'"

Su Yuanshan was stunned upon hearing this. "Zhoutian Si?"

Sima Wuhen nodded.

"That is correct, that is the sentence!"

Seeming to have remembered something else, Su Yuanshan asked again.

"Didn't that group from the Kaiyuan Academy follow them? What was their reaction?"

Sima Wuhen replied.

"You are correct, they did indeed go over again, and if the Kaiyuan Academy had not seen the situation and quickly sent people to rescue them, I fear that not a single survivor of this Guiyuan Sect would exist."

Su Yuanshan nodded and said indifferently.

"Let's go over and take a look!"

……………………。

When Su Yuanshan returned to the original place with Sima Wuhen.

"I saw many disciples of the Kaiyuan Academy sitting to one side, while that!... survivor from the Guiyuan Sect had a dull gaze and was muttering to himself!"

"Zhoutian Si! Zhoutian Si!"

Anyone with a discerning eye could see at a glance that this Guiyuan Sect disciple had clearly suffered a great shock, which was why he had become like this.

Su Yuanshan had originally held a glimmer of hope, wishing to ask for an explanation from the Guiyuan Sect disciple so that he could find a way to deal with it sooner.

But looking at it now, that was nothing more than a pipe dream.

His gaze turned toward those Kaiyuan Academy disciples, and he saw them whispering to one another, sighing in low voices, or discussing something with solemn expressions on their faces.

Their words seemed to reveal a sense of foreboding!

Su Yuanshan strode over, walked straight up to them, and could not help but ask in a low voice.

"How is it? Fellow Daoists!

Did you find anything on your trip today? Also, where are the other disciples of the sect? Why is there only one left?"

A middle-aged scholar glanced at Su Yuanshan, could not help but sigh, and then replied.

"Sigh, don't even mention it! We nearly didn't make it back from that trip! As for those people from the Guiyuan Sect, it goes without saying."

Su Yuanshan seemed to feel even more confused and asked.

"What exactly happened? Who attacked you!"

He could tell that these Kaiyuan Academy disciples also seemed to be badly frightened.

At this moment, a Kaiyuan disciple was heard replying.

"A temple, a temple!

They found an abandoned temple!"

Su Yuanshan narrowed his eyes upon hearing this.

"A temple?"

That Kaiyuan disciple said.

"That's right, a temple; they discovered that strange temple! After they went inside, they were attacked!

No one saw clearly what it was that attacked them!

But there is no doubt that it was a very terrifying thing with powerful strength that we simply could not contend with! So we didn't dare stay for long and hurried back."

At this moment, Su Yuanshan finally obtained a few pieces of useful information.

"Zhoutian Si! Strange things! Unable to contend!"

He thought to himself, it seems this Zhoutian Si is the key.

Suddenly, his heart stirred as he remembered something....
