Chapter 511: Guo Shentong
The main hall of the Mount Qingchi Sect was majestic and tall, with immortal energy ethereal, white jade as steps, and bright treasure lamps blooming with light. White spiritual energy flowed down like mist. Chi Chi Zhiyun was coming down from the steps when he saw a middle-aged man coming up in front of him, looking somewhat relaxed, his steps steady. He only asked:
"What is it?"
This person was naturally Ning Ning Hejing. He bowed and said:
"Reporting to the Sect Master, the people from Qingsong Island have returned... I saw a few people. Li Li Xizhi's sister said he went to the Han family and is missing."
"The people behind went to the Han family, but heard that the family said Li Li Xizhi left early and only sent Han family members to Qunyihai to investigate."
Ning Ning Hejing paused, then said:
"Searching all the way, I heard that Li Li Xizhi accepted the invitation of Kong Kong Tingyun of Xuanyue Gate and went to Calcining Mountain to pick rosy clouds for True Person Senior Changxi. As for the two Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Han family, most of them have already died."
Chi Chi Zhiyun listened quietly, his expression somewhat intriguing. He only asked:
"Are you saying Li Li Xizhi didn't go near Lei Yun Temple, but went all the way to Xuanyue Gate... interesting."
Ning Ning Hejing bowed his head and responded, seeing Chi Chi Zhiyun mutter: "Could it be that Senior Changxi made a move?"
A look of hesitation appeared on Ning Ning Hejing's face. Chi Chi Zhiyun soon shook his head again: "It shouldn't be this True Person. He has never practiced the Life Guo Shentong, and he doesn't dare to touch the affairs of my Mount Qingchi..."
Both of them were direct descendants of the immortal sect, and both had Early Zifu elders at home, so they had an understanding of Early Zifu divine abilities and the various Early Zifu cultivators in Jiangnan.
Early Zifu cultivators refine divine abilities, but not every divine ability is of one type. Instead, they are all-encompassing: Body Guo Shentong, Life Guo Shentong, Eye Guo Shentong... Each has its own wonders. The most critical one is this Life Guo Shentong.
Life Guo Shentong is the key for the Early Zifu to touch the number of lives. It is somewhat similar to many methods of Buddhist practitioners. It can either confuse the heart and inquire, or push the situation without anyone knowing, or see some signs and calculate the origin.
Although it is difficult for Early Zifu cultivators to fight each other, except for a few figures standing at the peak, few people can distinguish who is high and who is low. Only those with Life Guo Shentong can be considered true chess players, which can be counted as a threshold.
Because the divine abilities of the True Persons of their own families are different, there are also differences in height between immortal sects. For example, the Ziyan Gate once had two True Persons at the peak of the Early Zifu, vaguely having the taste of being the first under the three sects. And the weakest Xueji Gate, whose Early Zifu had been missing for many years, didn't even dare to show their disciples.
The several Early Zifu cultivators of the Mount Qingchi Sect all have Life Guo Shentong. Back then, they were called the Mount Qingchi Qingchi Qingchi Sanyuan. Yuansu had the loudest reputation back then, not only because the seal in his hand was extremely powerful, but also because the Luoshui divine ability 【Cave Spring Sound】 he practiced was both a Body Guo Shentong and a Life Guo Shentong, which was very miraculous.
And True Person Senior Changxi practiced the divine ability 【Foolish Catch Mountain】, which was a rare Art Guo Shentong, and was even less good at attacking. Over the years, because of the lack of cultivation techniques, he had stopped making progress and had always been the one who bowed low among the seven gates. Chi Chi Zhiyun naturally didn't suspect him.
After pondering for a moment, Ning Ning Hejing asked: "Could it be that True Person Xiao Chuting..."
Speaking of Xiao Xiao Chuting, both of their faces were somewhat uneasy. Xiao Xiao Chuting hadn't appeared for many years, but he was someone to be feared.
This True Person broke through to the Early Zifu from the cracks from the beginning, step by step, and later was calm and at ease. By now, he had become a role that all parties wanted to win over.
Chi Chi Zhiyun's face was somewhat ugly, but he still shook his head and said in a low voice: "If Xiao Xiao Chuting made a move, there would be no need for this... What's more, he has been in the North Sea all along, and should be with Li Yuanxiu on that Cangzhou. How could he remotely control the situation in the East Sea from thousands of miles away..."
Ning Ning Hejing was silent. After a full few breaths of silence, he said:
"Subordinate doesn't understand, how dare he go to the North Sea!"
Chi Chi Zhiyun replied in a low voice: "After all, it is a grand event for a Early Zifu cultivator to break through to Jin Dan. Xiao Xiao Chuting cannot miss it. What's more... his cultivation base is Kan Water, and Cangzhou Kan Water is the most prosperous. This is a rare opportunity."
Ning Ning Hejing's lips parted slightly, his voice extremely low:
"Sect Master is right... but... Xiao Xiao Xianyou died suspiciously back then, suspected to have died at the hands of Behind Shangyuan... The people below dare not say, the people of the Xiao family dare not know, but he, Xiao Xiao Chuting, must know! If I were him, I wouldn't even dare to go north..."
Chi Chi Zhiyun's face was not good, and he only said: "What are you saying! How many people participated in the Donghua Li Li Jiangqun matter back then? Not to mention Xiao Xiao Xianyou, isn't that the one from Ziyan Gate? Tang Yuanwu, Li Yuanxiu... which one didn't have a share? There is no reason not to dare to go to Xiuyue."
"Behind Shangyuan was promoted by Donghua... but what can he do? I have to say, even if he achieves Jin Dan, he wouldn't dare to say a few more words about this matter..."
Ning Ning Hejing had to nod repeatedly. The two only discussed these events from hundreds of years ago, only feeling heart-pounding. Chi Chi Zhiyun restrained his emotions and came to a conclusion: "If Li Li Xizhi really didn't go, it is mostly a coincidence... and there is one or two..."
Ning Ning Hejing nodded slightly and said in a low voice:
"It is also possible that this person has always been making a show... in fact, he didn't use his heart to investigate Yuan Tuan's matter at all, which is why he delayed it at will..."
"After all, once Yuan Tuan dies, Qinghui Peak will fall into his hands."
Chi Chi Zhiyun nodded noncommittally. In his heart, it seemed there were other answers, but he didn't say them. He waved his hand to let him go down and sat alone in his seat.
He waited for a moment, rode the wind, and flew to the highest point of Mount Qingchi Peak. He saw white energy shrouded and clouds and smoke ethereal. He shuttled into it and walked all the way to the deepest part of the cave dwelling.
At the deepest part, there was a deep pool, clear and pleasing to the eye. Chi Chi Zhiyun looked around carefully and pinched the magic formula lightly.
The patterns on the stone walls in the cave dwelling lit up rapidly, extending densely, isolating the inside and outside. The fluctuations vaguely revealed were extremely powerful. It was actually a Early Zifu-level formation, and even this piece of Taixu was isolated.
Chi Chi Zhiyun then bent down, looking at the deep pool with enthusiasm. After waiting for a quarter of an hour, a reflection slowly emerged in the originally pitch-black pool water.
Above the pool water, it was clearly empty blue rock, but in the water, a small tree was reflected, silver-white and brilliant, with strands of delicate and beautiful leaves like silver threads, rising and falling in the slightly fluctuating pool water.
The gentle moonlight slowly drifted out. Chi Chi Zhiyun watched the small tree in the pool water quietly, calculated the days, and became more and more happy in his heart:
"It's coming... it's coming... it will bear fruit soon... Buzai swallows it privately every time, and I beg and beg but he refuses to give me one. Now that this guy is missing, I finally have a chance to take this fruit... just wait for a few days..."
He calculated slowly in his heart. The small tree in the pool water seemed to be breathing, slowly stretching, releasing gentle moonlight, and strands of orchid grass grew around the pool water, fragrant and pleasant.
Yishan City.
The city walls of Yishan City were vicissitudes, full of traces of curses. A group of guards on the top of the city looked down. The barren land in front of the city wall was all white bones, and a few crows stopped on the barren land, cawing.
Directly above stood a group of teenagers, all in brocade clothes and jade robes, forming a sharp contrast with the many clan cultivators on the side. Some were even holding cups and sitting in the air, looking at the scenery leisurely.
For these guards, Yishan City was a place to fight for their lives, but in the eyes of these Mount Qingchi Sect people, it was just a place to exchange benefits with demons and train disciples, so naturally, there was nothing to be afraid of.
Several people had the intention of going out for a trip, chatting on the city wall, and drinking wine. A teenager sat in the middle left, seemingly drunk, leaning softly against the city wall.
His robes were loose, and he sat cross-legged on the steps, tilting his head and holding a cup, his gray-black eyes full of intoxication. It was Li Yuanchin, the son of Li Li Xuanfeng in the Southern Frontier, surrounded in the center.
Everyone gathered in one place, talking about the interesting things of some noble families, and who in some immortal sect had obtained opportunities, which was very lively. One person drank wine and smiled: "Brother Yuanchin, you carry this bow on your back every day, why not untie it and shoot an arrow to see how much of your father's ability you have obtained?"
Li Yuanchin heard this, sneered, untied the bow on his body, and threw it to that person at will, opening his mouth:
"What kind of ability can it be? Just making a show."
Everyone looked at each other, tacitly skipped the topic, and soon talked about jokes. One person opened his mouth:
"I heard that there have been great changes in the Southern Frontier in recent years. Several shamanic countries near the north are attacking each other, seemingly to establish some great sect... which is a strange thing."
The Southern Frontier was not entirely the world of demons. It was just that Yishan City faced the territory of demons. The border of the Southern Frontier stretched for thousands of miles, reaching deep near the Wu Kingdom, and could even connect to the territory of the Jin Yu Sect.
In that area, there were many shamanic countries, most of which were raised by demons for food, and some unknown small forces, many of which fell during the magic disaster.
"There seem to be many small sects in that place..."
One of them asked.
These small mountain temples naturally couldn't be counted as the behemoths of the three sects and seven gates. Most of them were small sects built by Qi Refining rogue cultivators. In the vast wasteland between the Wu Kingdom and the Southern Frontier, there were rises and falls every day. He showed a look of memory and muttered:
"There seems to have been a pretty good force back then... called Tu... Tujun Gate?"
How could the small sects in that wasteland reach the ears of these direct descendants? Thinking about it, they could only remember a Tujun Gate. It was ignored back then, but now it was famous all over the world because of Tu Tu Longjian. Everyone had some understanding.
These digressions were brought up slightly, and finally someone laughed and asked:
"I say... I heard that True Person Behind Shangyuan is going to break through to Jin Dan. Young Masters... has your family heard any gossip?"
Li Yuanchin heard this, and his originally hazy eyes focused immediately. He stared at the wine cup without changing his expression, and saw a Chi family member say:
"What news can there be! Even Senior Duanmu Kui failed... how much chance does Behind Shangyuan have."
As soon as he said this, a person with higher status and more gorgeous clothes next to him sneered immediately and said in a low voice:
"Cousin is really interesting. Behind Behind Shangyuan is that one from the Xiuyue Sect. What does Senior Duanmu Kui have? Just an immortal book, which is powerful in fighting, but can it help him break through?"
The Chi family member who spoke first was clearly not of the same mind as him and immediately retorted: "The immortal also said he could become a Jin Dan, but what about now?"
Suddenly, they were arguing in a mess. Li Yuanchin didn't make a sound, looked at the other Ning family members on the field, and saw their expressions were not very good either. They were all in low spirits and drinking heavily.
Without him, a few days ago, Yuansu personally appointed Ning Hewan as the Family Head and also the Peak Master of the Immortal Peak. Ning Hewan accepted the order, and the Ning family naturally saw that True Person Yuansu didn't have much time left.
Their own backer was collapsing, so naturally, they didn't have the heart to joke. The Ning family members were full of sorrow. Li Yuanchin listened quietly and finally saw them unify the topic and ask: "Where is True Person Li Yuanxiu now?"
The Early Zifu cultivators in the sect were looking at one after another who would fall, and True Person Li Yuanxiu, whose state was unknown, suddenly became a sweet pastry. Everyone cast their eyes and looked at a person in the corner.
This person had thick eyebrows and big eyes, sitting in the corner with a smile. That Chi family member said: "Brother Si Honglang... do you know any news? Let everyone listen..."
Si Honglang had low talent and nothing outstanding. He was usually silent among the crowd, but now he was finally proud and just said:
"My family's True Person is good at nourishing life, and he is the youngest of the Qingchi Qingchi Sanyuan. There is still a long time!"
Everyone laughed. The leading Chi family member suddenly stopped, seeing a golden figure flying from the front, slowly stopping in front of the city wall, his expression cold, and his gaze swept across the crowd.
Most of the young masters were scared, retreated one after another, lowered their heads and closed their eyes. Only a few Chi family direct descendants were still hard-headed, bowed, and said respectfully:
"Greetings, General. Brother Yuanchin is right here."
Li Li Xuanfeng saw at a glance that Li Yuanchin was full of alcohol, sitting in the crowd, and even the bow that he carried on his body day after day was thrown at his feet, lying coldly on the ground. For a time, he didn't speak.
Everyone felt a little sad and didn't dare to speak, but there was a lot of gloating atmosphere passing secretly. Li Yuanchin climbed up from the ground, picked up the bow and arrow, and swayed to his father.
Li Li Xuanfeng glanced at him coldly, reached out and grabbed his collar, lifted him up unceremoniously, and flew to the mansion on the golden magic wind. By the time the father and son left, the people in the original place let out a low laugh.
One person opened his mouth:
"It's really a tiger father and a dog son!"
The Chi family direct descendant beside him sat on the side with a smile and just said: "You stupid thing, Li Yuanchin is not a simple character, it's just that he can't talk to his father!"
His eyes were very proud.
Li Li Xuanfeng rode the wind and rose, took Li Yuanchin all the way to the mansion, then let go, put him down in the courtyard. Li Yuanchin didn't say a word, tidied his clothes, and stood on the side.
Li Li Xuanfeng stood quietly for a moment and said in a low voice: "I don't know how I raised you like this. After I return from the North Sea, I will take you to various places... don't mix with them."
Li Yuanchin nodded, stepped back, said goodbye, and went down by himself. Li Li Xuanfeng stood in the original place for a few breaths, then rode the wind and rose, falling into True Person Yuansu's cave dwelling.
Bypassing the stone statue at the door, the cave dwelling was still shrouded in white energy. Li Li Xuanfeng hadn't approached yet, and had already heard the sound of spring water. He bowed and entered. True Person Yuansu was still sitting on the jade platform.
He was always the round-faced appearance of twenty or so years old, sitting quietly in the first seat. Seeing Li Li Xuanfeng approach, he finally stood up and said softly:
