Chapter 513: Person in the Jade
Li Li Xuanfeng's pupil technique magic light flickered slightly, unable to see his true body, but heard him surnamed Dongfang, mostly related to the Dragon clan. He nodded and replied: "Fellow Daoist is the Combined Water Dragon clan?"
Dongfang Eastern Heyun wore blue and white clothes, looking elegant, with a decent smile on his face, and said politely:
"Not bad. I am blessed by the Dragon Lord, transformed by cloud energy, acting on behalf of the various dragons of the East Sea, and obtained the surname Dongfang."
Li Li Xuanfeng didn't know what medicine he was selling in his gourd, so he listened silently, and saw Dongfang Eastern Heyun sit down opposite him, saying warmly: "It's a coincidence. I was patrolling the sea near the Qunyihai Strait and once saw a junior of your family riding the rosy clouds, very dashing, but he mistakenly entered my Dragon clan territory, so I took action to invite him out."
'Li Xizhi...'
Li Li Xuanfeng had only heard in the Southern Frontier that Li Li Xizhi had gone out on behalf of Xuanyue Gate, not expecting him to have entered the Dragon clan territory. His eyes widened slightly, and he replied: "Oh? That was the junior's offense."
Dongfang Eastern Heyun smiled and shook his head, saying in a low voice:
"There is such a thing, it's just that I injured him. I came to ask how his injuries are."
Li Li Xuanfeng was somewhat strange, and saw Dongfang Eastern Heyun say:
"If the injuries are almost better, you can come to the Combined Water Sea to sit on the way. The rosy clouds are somewhat related to me."
Li Li Xuanfeng couldn't tell if he was good or bad, so he could only respond perfunctorily. Dongfang Eastern Heyun then stood up, bowed quite politely, and disappeared into wind and rain.
"This person is neither human nor dragon, but a type of monster born of heaven and earth. It is difficult to deal with."
Li Li Xuanfeng pondered for a moment looking at his back, his eyes fixed on the wind and snow outside the cave, thinking:
"How could he enter the Dragon clan territory? It seems there is something strange about Li Xizhi's matter. When I have a chance, I will go and look for him."
The news he got from this person was completely different from what he had inquired from the Ning family. He keenly felt the strangeness and understood that the child had many thoughts, fearing that disturbing his layout rashly would be bad, so he decided to ask Li Li Xizhi in person.
He had just prepared to close his eyes and practice, but someone had been watching him silently for a long time. A white-clad figure drifted over, middle-aged, with a sword at his waist, and walked over quickly, smiling:
"Li Xuanfeng!"
"Senior is here!"
Li Li Xuanfeng looked carefully. It was Xiao Xiao Yongling of the Xiao family, an old friend of Li Li Tongya, wearing white clothes. He stood up immediately and said softly: "I haven't seen Senior for a long time."
Xiao Xiao Yongling's expression was somewhat dim. He looked at him for a moment and said softly: "Since the Qingsong Temple cave heaven attack, I haven't seen you since. Li Xuanfeng's murderous aura has become much heavier."
He sat down on the side, followed by a woman in Xiang-colored clothes, smiling and obediently saying:
"Xuanyue Kong Kong Tingyun, greetings, Senior."
Li Li Xuanfeng naturally knew the friendship between Xuanyue Gate and his family, and had also heard of this name. He nodded slightly. The three sat on the snowy peak. Kong Kong Tingyun shook her head and smiled: "This 【Beihuan Sect】 is quite interesting. All the heroes of the immortal Dao in the world are gathered here, but they didn't even set up a table or chair, only opening this small cave dwelling, letting people sit on the ground."
Xiao Xiao Yongling seemed to have been waiting here for a period of time, stroking his beard and saying:
"This Beihuan Sect is also a quite ancient Dao lineage, still retaining many rules from back then, not going out of the mountain much, and there are not many disciples, only a few dozen."
His eyes glanced slightly, signaling the two to look at Yu Xie Yu Xie Zhanchang standing on the peak, and said in a low voice: "This is a descendant of Jin Dan, a figure of the Yu Xie family in the North Sea. I don't know what kind of Dao lineage he practices. It is rare to see the descendants of a True Lord."
Li Li Xuanfeng didn't look much out of politeness, but didn't see how miraculous he was. Kong Kong Tingyun said somewhat mysteriously:
"I heard that as long as the Yu Xie family fights, they can drive spiritual energy, step on mist and ride clouds, and are masters of using Dharma, and they can also prepare talisman water to heal injuries."
The word "prepare talisman water" seemed to touch some of Li Li Xuanfeng's memories, making him pause slightly. The few chatted for a few words on the peak, looked north, and Li Li Xuanfeng asked softly:
"How many such True Lord immortal families are there in the world, besides Wang and Yu Xie?"
Xiao Xiao Yongling paused slightly and replied:
"There were many in the ancient times. Now, those clearly existing in the world should be less than five fingers..."
He hesitated for a breath and said in a low voice: "In the early years... there were the Li and Cui families of the Long region, the Ning country Li family of True Person Donghua, the Jingji Yang family of Jiangnan... either declined or extinct, and have gradually disappeared."
"The rest, the Wu country Tanshan Li family, the Jiangnan Chen family and my Xiao family, the Jiangbei Shen family... can only be counted as secondary, barely having some fame."
Kong Kong Tingyun listened on the side, seeing Xiao Xiao Yongling pause, and added softly: "If we didn't guess wrong, your family should be a northern remnant, tracing back to the nobility of the Wei country, and tracing back further, we have to trace back to the Li family of the Long region."
They spoke very logically, but Li Li Xuanfeng couldn't guarantee it. Others didn't know, but he knew that his family was actually from a farming background. Li Li Mutian and those above were all mortals. The clan genealogy was just mortals who wandered here, not descendants of any immortal family.
The fact that several brothers had spiritual apertures when Mount Lijing rose was basically obtained by talisman. Subsequent children had higher and higher talents, also because of the blessing of talisman seeds and immortal arts. Without these two, cultivation would be as slow as ordinary people, not descendants of any immortal family.
Yuansu calculated that it was the bloodline of the Wei country. Li Li Xuanfeng felt that it could only be considered a side branch of the side branch of the Wei Li. After all, the Wei Li ruled for a thousand years, from a few counties to dominating the north, not knowing how many descendants they had multiplied.
Only Li Li Zhouwei made Li Li Xuanfeng slightly suspicious, feeling somewhat weird:
"If it is really so, why did it fall to the point of not having a single word? Falling to the point of generations of mortals..."
He didn't dare to think anymore. So many thoughts floated in his mind, only passing for one or two breaths, and he couldn't admit it, so he just said: "It's just hearsay. If the family were descendants of the Wei country, how could it fall to the current situation."
Kong Kong Tingyun misunderstood and looked at Xiao Xiao Yongling. Both understood something:
"Although so many years have passed, there are still quite a few enemies. The name Wei Li is majestic, but the trouble is not small."
Saying so, Kong Kong Tingyun was envious. As long as the Li family's strength was enough, the Wei Li also had inheritance, and could even trace back to the ancient times. It was not just a name, but something flowing in the blood.
Her Kong family only produced one True Person Senior Changxi, and further up, they were just rogue cultivators of the Yue country. The ancestors were even just a small county magistrate of the Yue country back then, having to look at the face of the Yuan family at that time...
Xiao Xiao Yongling looked at the changes in the expressions of the two and had some guesses, just comforting:
"Rise and fall is a common thing, often unexpected. Who could have thought of the Yuan family back then? And who could have thought of the Li family with four generations and eight Foundation Establishment cultivators walking out of a small village? Early Zifu cannot calculate it!"
Li Li Xuanfeng nodded slightly, Kong Kong Tingyun responded with a smile, secretly laughing in her heart:
"Didn't your family's Xishang Weng calculate it long ago? Making everyone feel incredible."
The three soon fell silent and just adjusted their breath silently.
Foundation Establishment cultivators practiced slightly, light and dark intersected, and soon half a month passed. Li Li Xuanfeng waited and waited, but didn't see Yuansu's figure. The three days he spoke of became longer and longer.
After twenty-three days, he finally saw colorful lights slowly emerging, mixed with the pitch-black color of Taixu. An old man fell from the sky, carrying a fishing rod on his shoulder, and beside him stood a person, middle-aged, quite serious, with a thumb-sized jade stone on his chest, glowing slightly.
"Greetings, two True Persons!"
Li Li Xuanfeng had seen Xiao Xiao Chuting. Back then, he was a small Qi Refining cultivator. Xiao Xiao Chuting estimated that he was pretending to be Foundation Establishment, collecting tribute on the peak. His appearance was not much different from now, appearing more refined.
The other person just guessed. It was mostly that True Person Senior Changxi, which was quite different from the appearance he imagined. Xiao Xiao Yongling and the two said goodbye to him and boarded the clouds one after another.
Li Li Xuanfeng bowed. Xiao Xiao Chuting and Senior Changxi were quite gentle. He looked at Xiao Xiao Chuting and found no difference from the beginning, but Xiao Xiao Chuting looked at him completely differently. The young man who was full of childishness back then had become a cold and tough old general.
Xiao Xiao Chuting nodded and said in a hoarse voice: "Li Xuanfeng, wait a moment."
The four disappeared in an instant. Li Li Xuanfeng looked back, snow drifting on the mountain peak, leaving only that Yu Xie Yu Xie Zhanchang with his hands forming seals, practicing on the peak. In the corner, there was a black shadow, sitting in the snow.
Li Li Xuanfeng looked carefully. This person's face was ugly, wearing gold and black clothes, and it was actually an acquaintance.
"Tongjin Gate person..."
This person was from the Tongjin Gate. Li Li Xuanfeng didn't recognize this person, but the clothes were very familiar. He had killed the young master of the Tongjin Gate, and even cut him into a thousand pieces, so naturally, he wouldn't recognize him wrong.
Seeing this scene, he immediately understood:
"The Early Zifu of the Situ family has been hiding for so long, but it was still caught by Yuansu..."
He sat cross-legged for another three days, and then saw Yuansu shuttling out of the void, his face somewhat pale, stopping in the air. He had one hand behind his back, and in the other, he held a severed arm.
Yuansu's aura fluctuated, the sound of spring water was very loud, his brows were locked, and his expression was even somewhat gloomy. The mountain peak was almost empty. He pulled Li Li Xuanfeng onto the cloud and continued north.
Yuansu was silent for a dozen breaths, then said in a gloomy voice:
"It's fine for the old thing to hide in some ghost place, but he dared to come to the North Sea. Just leave his arm... as a lesson."
Li Li Xuanfeng listened to this, roughly understanding why the Early Zifu of the Situ family had disappeared for these years. It turned out to be guarding against Yuansu's lifespan reaching its limit, dragging him into the water: "It seems Yuansu's strength is indeed good. The Situ family only has the share of fleeing."
That arm was sealed by magic power, still moving slightly, trembling constantly. Yuansu picked up the arm and said in a low voice:
"Situ Huo, listen well. You have the ability to stay in the South Sea forever. Puyu and Yuming are looking for you. Don't be careless and come back."
After he finished speaking, he broke off a section of the finger, threw it into the sea, let it find Situ Huo by itself, and then put the arm away. The sky was already full of stars.
He said nothing, carrying Li Li Xuanfeng higher and higher. The gale here grew increasingly fierce, to the point where it could strike down an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator. The mountain peaks on either side were a mix of black and white, appearing quite solemn.
All the way to the highest ice field, in the middle was a small lake. A group of Early Zifu cultivators stood quietly on the cloud. A person sat on the ice platform in the lake, closing his eyes quietly, with a wooden sword hanging at his waist.
Li Li Xuanfeng stood on the cloud, feeling the biting cold wind blocked outside the cloud energy. After waiting for a few breaths, he suddenly heard a rustling sound, coming from the fine collision sound.
Because he was blocked by Yuansu's cloud energy, his spiritual sense couldn't probe out, so he could only look up, feeling that the snowflakes were mixed with fine white dots, making a broken crisp sound on the ground.
The Yuansu beside him had stabilized a lot, reached out, caught a handful of snowflakes, and shook them off lightly, seeing stars of clean white broken jade.
"It has begun."
Li Li Xuanfeng realized, and sure enough, saw Behind Shangyuan on the platform open his eyes, looked around, swept across everyone one by one, and opened his mouth:
"I am Behind Shangyuan. Today I break through to Jin Dan. According to the agreement of the immortal cultivators in the four countries and various seas, I invite you to observe the ceremony. Look clearly, you can get some benefits."
He spoke flatly, and the people in the sky bowed back one after another, which was quite different from the trembling in front of Senior Duanmu Kui and the cold sarcasm in front of Chi Wei back then. Even if there were Early Zifu cultivators who didn't like his personality, they bowed back reluctantly at this moment.
Behind Shangyuan didn't pay attention to them, lightly pressed on the sword at his waist.
In an instant, many spiritual swords and immortal blades in the field trembled, broke free from the master's restraint, and made a clanging sound, vaguely having the trend of drawing swords, which was quite spectacular.
The people in the sky had been staring at his movements. Almost at the same time, almost all Early Zifu cultivators took a step back, ready to fight. Only a few people like Yuansu stood in place without moving.
Li Li Xuanfeng looked up. Yuansu's face was full of ironic smiles, as if Behind Shangyuan's actions were just right for his personality, just standing with his arms crossed.
On the other side, the face of True Person Behind Shangyuan under the fog showed a playful smile, and his hand loosened again. The crowd stood in the air in a sorry state, losing face in front of the many juniors following behind, but no one dared to open their mouths. Most of them didn't even dare to change their expressions.
Behind Shangyuan didn't pay attention to them, and lightly exhaled a white breath.
This white breath rose rapidly in the air, turning into a strange appearance, or turning into a white-clad man, or turning into a green jade cliff, or turning into silk like a waterfall, and a white jade plate rose in the sky.
For a time, white energy rolled, spreading rapidly. Various scenes appeared in the cloud, and under the illumination of that huge jade plate, they played music, white-clad men danced with guns and swords, various animals ran on the crescent moon, and silk like a waterfall spread out, flowing into the lake in the air.
Surrounded by many visions, True Person Behind Shangyuan stepped on white jade steps under his feet, and walked up from ease.
Every step he took, surging white energy emerged, and the wooden sword at his waist was slowly rising in light, revealing the luster of jade, turning into the color of white jade. True Person Behind Shangyuan said softly:
"'Person in the Jade'"
As soon as these words fell, a set of bright, elegant, and clean white feather clothes appeared on his body, with long white energy hanging from the sleeves, like silk. Behind Shangyuan usually dressed simply, but now with this set of clean white feather clothes, he was like an immortal.
Li Li Xuanfeng looked familiar. He had read the 【White Head Kowtow Court Scripture】, and only felt that this set of feather clothes was quite similar to the description in the scripture, but it was much more miraculous. He thought: "It should be the 'Jade Court General', perhaps it is a better immortal book, or the ancient name of this immortal foundation..." ===== CHAPTER 514 =====
With every step he took, surging white Qi erupted, and the wooden sword at his waist began to rise in radiance, revealing a jade-like luster and transforming into the color of white jade. True Person Behind Shangyuan said softly:
"Jade-Dweller."
As soon as he spoke, a set of brilliant, elegantly lined, pure white feathered robes appeared on his body, with long white Qi trailing from the sleeves like silk. Behind Shangyuan was usually dressed plainly, but now, with the addition of these pure white feathered robes, he looked like a celestial being.
Li Li Xuanfeng found it familiar; he had read the "Classic of White-Headed Court-Knocking," and felt this set of feathered robes was quite similar to the description in the scripture, only far more miraculous. He thought to himself: "It should be the 'Jade Court General.' Perhaps it is a better immortal book, or the ancient name for this immortal foundation..."
