Chapter 1016: Demon Cave

Guo Guo Nanwu saluted and entered the Grand Void with Sima Si Yuanli, disappearing into the distance. Li Li Ximing was still somewhat surprised. He invited Kuang Yu to sit at the table, poured tea, and asked:

"Fellow Daoist, this is..."

Kuang Yu shook her head, smiled slightly, and replied:

"Just now, the True Person of the Sima family was present, so there were some things I couldn't say much about... After all, he is closely related to Dantai and has no friendship with us, so we have to guard against him."

She raised her hand to take the tea and pursed her lips in a smile, seemingly not afraid at all of how good Li Li Ximing's relationship with the Sima family was, and said quietly:

"Since he calls himself Sima now, he must bear the karma of the Sima family... Old Senior Li Yuanxiu has already managed his connections in the Southeast Sea for him. If Yue State wants to exert influence on the two seas, he and True Person Zhusheng are unavoidable. When the time comes... we will have to deal with each other!"

"By then, one will be called True Person Sima, and the other will be Protector Liu."

Li Li Ximing was not surprised when he heard the name True Person Zhusheng, and sighed. Kuang Yu then said:

"It wasn't easy to speak just now. I still need to make these things clear to you. It is true that the Guo family went out at the end of Liang, but the chaotic world at the end of Liang lasted for more than three hundred years, and there were one hundred and twenty-seven countries in the Central Plains. The Guo clan was actually a vassal of one place, and the country name was Yong."

"Vassal?"

Li Li Ximing was slightly stunned, his expression becoming somewhat complex:

"I heard long ago that a thousand years ago, when the Huhu Jie entered the pass, there was an era when many countries stood side by side. I didn't expect it to last for three hundred years..."

"..."

Kuang Yu said in a low voice:

"A centipede dies but does not stiffen. The Great Liang was ultimately a behemoth. Its control over the north was lost after the Liang Emperor fell into the water and died, and the various military governors rebelled, but it still had authority. Every military governor had to take it to make a seal, lingering on its last breath. This era, we call it 【Liang Falls, Zhao Rises】. First, there was military chaos, the Liang Emperor lost his prestige, then the Hu Jie chaos, and the Great Liang completely perished. Only after that did Zhao rise... It started precisely from the day the Liang Emperor fell into the water and died."

Li Li Ximing's expression became a bit strange. He had already heard about the Liang Emperor falling into the water once from Master Kongheng, so he just asked:

"The Great Liang imitated the Great Wei, and the Liang Emperor was a high-level cultivator no matter what... fell into the water and died? Meaning... Water Virtue?"

Kuang Yu's expression contained some fear, and she replied:

"This is not something we can know... I didn't see any Water Virtue radiance, but I saw the Bo star flickering in the sky. It was 'Xiuyue' returning to its position, and the Great Liang's Heavenly Supervision Division collapsing—this was also the day the chaotic world at the end of Liang opened its curtain, and it was precisely at this time that the speed of Grand Void travel had a qualitative leap, and array discs became popular..."

"'Xiuyue' returning to its position..."

Li Li Ximing lowered his eyebrows and sipped his tea, hiding his astonishment. He calculated with his fingers. If calculated this way, this True Monarch had already attained his position for more than a thousand years.

Kuang Yu obviously didn't dare to discuss the True Monarch Taiyue, so she smiled reluctantly and replied:

"That Yong King was called Guo Wusi. He was killed by the ancestor of the Qi family, Qi Wang... exiting the sea, it had already been declared that the Guo family had completely withdrawn from the stage of the chaotic world. You don't have to worry about his relationship with the north, Fellow Daoist... You don't have to make things difficult for him with these things. He has no intention of revenge, and doesn't even dare to touch it!"

'True Monarch Taiyue... has a deep connection with the destruction of Great Liang... Even she dares to hint at True Monarch Taiyue, but avoids talking about falling into the water, and doesn't dare to speak of that Water Virtue... It is very likely that he is one of the three families'

Li Li Ximing nodded silently, lost in thought, raised his eyebrows and said: "I have another doubt... Since that True Person recognizes the strangeness of 【Long-Surpassing Change-Executing Gold】, would he be willing to tell me one or two?" Kuang Yu sighed and replied:

"There is no secret to this matter. Guo Nanwu also asked when he achieved Early Zifu, but he doesn't like the Sima family, so he refused to speak. This is still because he is unwilling to continue the karma of the Guo family in the past, and has requests from others, so he was so tactful."

This woman took a sip of tea and replied:

"Since this object has a bright meaning and is also a gold of change, it naturally cannot be separated from that True Monarch Taiyu of the past!"

Li Li Ximing was silent for a moment and asked:

"To be honest, I have some understanding of the Solar lineage. This matter... is very strange... There is only one Dui Metal fruit position... I have never heard of the principle of dividing into old years and today... Since it is divided, what is its use!"

Kuang Yu seemed a bit anxious, pondered repeatedly, and finally replied:

"Let me put it this way to you, Fellow Daoist... That person on the Golden Mountain in the Great Desert can be called a evergreen tree of Metal Virtue and an insurmountable peak. Since ancient times, there have been people more powerful than him, and he has seen them one by one, but a person who can change the world like him is hard to find again..."

"..."

"His attainment of the Dao might not be comparable to the ancient great beings who attained the void, but it is enough to surpass more than 60% of the True Monarchs, and even the fruit position was renamed because of him... Naturally, there is a distinction between today and the old years!"

She was full of praise, but the more she praised, the more Li Li Ximing felt something was wrong:

'No matter how much you praise this person, the change in Dui Metal cannot be erased. This is not praise, this is pointing fingers!'

Li Li Ximing's heart pounded as he listened, and he replied:

"I have also heard of his abilities..."

Kuang Yu shook her head with some suffocation, obviously not feeling that his expression showed he had heard of it, and only replied:

"This 【Long-Surpassing Change-Executing Gold】 is the gold of the old years. The best way to deal with it is to refine and polish it into a small mirror to illuminate light sha—this is what the old True Person said himself. He spent his whole life refining tools, so you can listen to it."

"As for other uses..."

Kuang Yu paused and said somewhat strangely:

"Giving it to Jin Yu or the Sword Gate is possible... but it will offend one of the parties."

Li Li Ximing pressed the jade box silently, pondered without speaking, and after a long time said:

"May I ask the name of the fruit position?"

Kuang Yu was silent at first, then quickly replied:

"When I was studying the Dao in Hengzhu, there was a book called 'Five Lectures on Dui Metal'. It is an extremely ancient book with some errors, writing the 'Dui Metal' path as the path of 'Shen Bai Dui Metal Upper You', saying it is the correct position of Shen You Metal."

"Correct position."

Li Li Ximing was a bit lost, muttering:

"Shen You Metal's correct position... Please hold the gold for me... what I hold is this correct position of Dui Metal..."

"Fellow Daoist Can Zhaojing?"

Kuang Yu raised her eyebrows. Li Li Ximing shook his head low and smiled:

"I thought of a treasure of the Sima family."

Kuang Yu nodded and smiled:

"Besides Guo Nanwu's matter, I have a good piece of news to tell you, Fellow Daoist. The 【Mount Hanyun Heart Iron】 you asked me to find some years ago has news. True Person Xuanyi obtained it by chance, and I have retrieved it for you."

She placed the white silver iron box from her sleeve on the table. Only to see cold frost condensing in the box, flowing with thick white smoke, and in the smoke was a piece of cold iron the size of a palm, exuding white light.

Li Li Ximing's eyes lit up and he said:

"Do you have any requests, Fellow Daoist?"

This woman looked at him hesitantly, straightened her body, nodded and said:

"I heard by chance that True Person Xuanyi once had a 【Shangxiang Silver】, which my Dao path happens to be able to use, and I want to exchange it with you... but this matter... is somewhat inappropriate..."

"【Shangxiang Silver】 has been severed for a long time, while Cold Qi spiritual resources are common. I have taken advantage of you, Fellow Daoist."

Li Li Ximing smiled and asked:

"You have also put your heart into Li Queyi's magic arts. I have seen your care over these years, so don't be polite!"

Li Li Queyi had been cultivating on her island, and her current magic arts were quite superior, which was also due to Kuang Yu's efforts. Although she had never mentioned this, Li Li Ximing kept it in his heart. He didn't want to owe her a favor for nothing, so he took out the treasure and handed it to the other party, saying solemnly:

"I still feel it's not enough."

"I like this child, but it's not to exchange for your family's favor."

Kuang Yu shook her head with a smile, but Li Li Ximing didn't quite believe it, so he just brushed it off, sent her out of the mountain all the way, and while handing the 【Mount Hanyun Heart Iron】 back to her, smiled:

"Then please let Guo Nanwu go on a trip, hand the things to Dingyangzi, and by the way, ask for me... how is the progress of my family's suit of armor."

"Good!"

Kuang Yu saluted and replied:

"When the good news comes from your clan, we will definitely come to congratulate you!"

Li Li Ximing knew she was referring to the enfeoffment of the king, shook his head and sighed, returned to the mountain all the way, and pondered secretly:

"Refine the immortal foundation for another year, and try the 'World Brightness Harmony Heavenly Sea, Yinzhou."

Yinzhou is vast with undulating mountain ranges, bloody and eerie, with white bones in the mountains, and demon objects everywhere. It is isolated from the world, but there are often magical powers and release light coming and going, traveling through the Grand Void and landing on the continent.

The seawater on the edge of the continent rippled, shining with blue and white colors. In the Grand Void, lotus flowers bloomed, and a golden-robed monk appeared, his head shining with the brilliance of seawater, sparkling.

His face was like still water, his bearing was extraordinary. He shook his body and transformed into a black-haired, long-bearded Daoist. He landed in the mountains and immediately saw a green-scaled beast climb up the mountain, insert the long spear in his hand into the ground, and ask:

"Is it Great Scholar Monk Minghui who has come!"

Monk Minghui Jinlian Mohe's expression was calm, and he said lightly:

"I have just received an invitation from Pingyanzi. Please lead the way, Demon General." The green-scaled beast then led him forward and said:

"Great Scholar, be quick, don't let the Great King wait too long."

In other places, if Monk Minghui Jinlian Mohe had encountered such a demon object, he would definitely have taken it as a mount. How could he let him speak like this? But this time it was different. Not only did he not get angry, he even quickened his pace.

'This Pingyan demon is really something! If he didn't remind me in time... who knew that it would take time for me to rush from the sea!'

There was a pavilion on the top of the mountain. Two people were sitting in the middle, one old and one young. The old man had a sallow face, drooping eyebrows, and white whiskers fluttering. He was stroking his beard and speaking, while the young man wore a long robe with golden patterns on the sleeves, nodding and listening.

As soon as Monk Minghui stepped onto the top of the mountain and saw this young man, he felt his eyes burning. He stared and saw that this person was covered in flames, his destiny was at its peak, scales appeared on his neck, white patterns were faint, and his heart was startled:

'It's this master.'

"Monk Minghui of the Lotus Temple, I have met the two Fellow Daoists!"

Li Li Zhouwei raised his eyebrows when he heard this, but saw a Daoist. His golden eyes moved, and he saw through his prototype. He heard Pingyanzi laugh:

"Please!"

The monk entered the seat, first lifted his sleeves, and congratulated:

"Fellow Daoist has achieved Early Zifu... I have also heard of it in the north. Congratulations to Wangyue!"

Li Li Zhouwei didn't have much good feeling for the released cultivators. If it weren't for the fact that the Lotus Temple had always been close to the immortal cultivators, and only this Monk Minghui was the only way to handle the things in his hands, he wouldn't be very suitable to sit down and talk to the released cultivators, so he just replied:

"You are polite."

Li Li Zhouwei had looked at Yinzhou all the way, and his heart was actually very strange.

Yinzhou, which is an immortal mountain and immortal continent in the mouths of outsiders, is actually rampant with demon objects and white bones everywhere. Rice and meat are piled up for feasts, and red blood gathers into pools. The resources of the He Tian Yi Sea are continuously transported to the continent, making the mountains eat happily. One by one, they show their teeth and claws, laughing loudly. After eating and drinking, they leave the continent to patrol the sea, still somewhat reluctant to leave.

This scenery was hidden in the forest and shrunk in the palace, but he saw it clearly.

'That Hui Yao, those few demon objects, and even the big figures of the Dragon Clan, should also be sitting in it, eating meat and drinking blood.'

The Dragon Clan's herding of the sea is not called for nothing. Even the Cui family has to obediently hand over spiritual objects. It's just that the level is high, so there is no need to send clansmen to be enjoyed by demons. But the Dragon Clan is not so polite to the cultivators of the East Sea!

'Year after year... the white bones of Yinzhou can be piled into mountains and paved into reefs.'

And this whole Daoist demon coming and going, the disciples drive magic winds. The Pingyan in front of him is immortal, but if you look down, it is a skin bag hanging with white bones. He has already refined a bloodless and fleshless magic bone. When the clothes are lifted, magic energy rolls underneath, and blood light is misty!

The Daoist in front of him is not a Daoist, but a chubby monk. The kindness and joy on his body are bright, but the kindness and joy path is not a good thing. This mountain of Pingyan and this big continent of the Dragon Clan, calling it a demon cave is not an exaggeration!

'This is the Chi descendant.'

He didn't change his face, his expression was cold. Monk Minghui was not embarrassed at all, smiled, and sat on the side. Only then did he see Pingyan open his mouth. His voice was thick, like a high-level cultivator who had attained the Dao:

"Sorry to keep the Great King waiting for a long time!"

And reflected in Li Li Zhouwei's golden eyes, it was just a skull opening and closing. Li Li Zhouwei didn't say much, poured out a piece of golden ware from his sleeves, or rings, or cassocks, or cups, or lotus seats, piled them up on the ground, exuding burning brilliance.

Monk Minghui stood up in surprise, looking around, examining them one by one. Pingyan cast his gaze over:

"The Great King has come from afar, but it is beyond our expectations... My mountain is simple, I'm afraid I have neglected the Great King."

"No matter."

Li Li Zhouwei shook his head. Pingyan's gaze flickered, feeling the bright Yang energy rushing towards his face. His magic arts were slightly uncomfortable, and dense black color appeared in his pupils:

"Great King... I heard... the Great King has a treasure in his hands, called 【Qianyang】, which was given by the White Dragon Crown Prince. Is this true?"

"Oh?"

Li Li Zhouwei raised his eyebrows, and his gaze towards him suddenly became sharp, asking:

"Exactly... Fellow Daoist Pingyan, what is your business?"

"Huo."

Pingyan raised his eyebrows and laughed. That sallow face looked a bit stiff, and he said in a low voice:

"A few days ago, at a banquet in the sea, a demon mentioned this matter and made things difficult for the Crown Prince, which made the Bei Hai Dragon King very angry. Although I was not at the banquet, I received many instructions... there is an adult in the Black Dragon Peach... who also wants to see the Great King!"

Li Li Zhouwei's gaze carried some scrutiny, sweeping back and forth on Pingyan's face, judging whose Dragon King he was. But before he could answer, he already vaguely heard light footsteps.

Li Li Zhouwei's body relaxed even more, leaning against the table, and said casually:

"Please."

But before his voice fell, a cold wind rose in the pavilion, and a man in black had already stood outside the pavilion.

This person was tall, his face was like a knife-cut axe, fierce and mighty, his expression was fierce and cold, and two strands of black hair hung from his clean forehead, fluttering lightly in the wind. A long knife was tied to his waist, the scabbard was white bone, decorated with precious beads, rolling with deep magic energy.

This person smiled, his eyes were cold, strands of mane were revealing from his neck, releasing rolling demon energy in the air, forming a black evil wind surrounding his body:

"Black Dragon Peach, Guangcan."

Li Li Zhouwei raised his eyes and stared at him. Those dragon eyes were filled with rolling magic energy and killing intent, which made him alert and sneer in his heart in an instant:

'Good... really wants to kill me.'

Pingyan had already bowed respectfully, Monk Minghui was terrified, caught in a dilemma, sweating on his forehead, only the golden-eyed young man stood quietly in the pavilion, coldly saying:

"Minghuang, Li Li Zhouwei." ===== CHAPTER 1017 =====
