Chapter 933: The Origin of Profound Light

White gas in the golden furnace, true fire hanging low, three days of flames exhausted, smelling the elixir fragrance.

Li Ximing "clapped" the jade box in his hand shut, put away the elixir furnace, nodded to True Person Senior Shan Bai in front of him, and entered the cave dwelling. He sent the jade box all the way to the bed and said politely:

"Fellow Daoist Vermilion Palace?"

This True Person, who looked like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, had a flushed face and coughed incessantly. At this time, no expression could be seen. She took the jade box from his hand and replied:

"Many thanks, Zhaojing!"

She placed the jade box by the bed and did not mention anything else, but said:

"I see that Kong Xiaxiang is still kneeling in front of the cave dwelling. Presumably, he is extremely afraid and wants to seek a way to settle down."

Her eyes became colder, and she replied:

"I know what he is afraid of. In the few years I was away, a few bastards in the sect were not honest. There was movement in the north, and they were also afraid, thinking that if Kong Xiaxiang died, firstly, he couldn't complain, and secondly, if something really happened, it would tear the face between the Zifu cultivators, and they wouldn't have to hand them over to vent their anger."

Li Ximing sighed secretly, while Vermilion Palace had quite a bit of annoyance, saying quietly:

"This matter of the Kong family... back then, looking at the face of your clan, compared to the consistent practice of the East Sea, my means were particularly light. As for the few people of the Kong family... I assigned them to the direct line of the sect. Kong Guxi... was also not harmed in the slightest, but was sent overseas to protect..."

"But there has never been a case of a direct descendant going out to seclude and then returning as a Zifu. Now... I have to thank your clan."

Li Ximing saw her being so tactful and replied:

"The matter back then was Ye Huai seizing the mountain and you taking it back. It was already reserved for today's response..."

Vermilion Palace shook her head silently.

If one really wanted to talk about it, how could she, Vermilion Palace, be afraid of a True Person who achieved the Dao by 'Foolishly Moving Mountains' and just broke through to Zifu? Even if it were two or three years earlier, with the Solar Orthodoxy mediating, this matter would not be a matter.

But the current situation is definitely different!

Her voice was a bit hoarse, and she replied:

"Does Fellow Daoist know the origin of the Kong clan?"

Li Ximing nodded and replied:

"The Kong clan was once a great family in the Xu Kingdom. Back then, they suffered the disaster of the Northern Tour, so the whole family moved south and established a gate in Shanjie. True Person Changxi claimed to be the Profound Light Moving Mountain Great Dao, under the Tongxuan Orthodoxy..."

He realized something, his voice lowered, but Vermilion Palace had a complex expression and said in a low voice:

"A cultivator of the Profound Light Moving Mountain and Tongxuan Orthodoxy broke through to Zifu in the Jiangbei and Xu Kingdom territory, and also has a legitimate and glorious enmity with my Muquan and even the Solar Orthodoxy to restore the orthodoxy!"

"Qi Lanyan came down from the north, wishing to find a gap to act. If he cannot grasp this opportunity, he should not call himself a descendant of the Guanxie."

Li Ximing's pupils dilated slightly, seeing this woman struggling to get up, her voice quite exhausted:

"Now... it has been more than three days since the breakthrough, and there is no sound at all. We have no status to go, but the Jianmen must have gone. Now there is no sound, which means they gained nothing..."

"Jianmen?"

Li Ximing was slightly stunned, but seeing Vermilion Palace helpless to a certain extent, she actually laughed:

"The Jianmen borrowed the 【Wind-Listening Bai Shi Mountain】. Does Zhaojing still have an impression? 【Wind-Listening Bai Shi Mountain】 was originally a good treasure of the Gen Earth Dao. Changxi did not know what method he used, perhaps borrowing Su Mian's hand, to keep the 【Wind-Listening Bai Shi Mountain】 unmoved!"

"What?"

Li Ximing was startled and blurted out in shock, but Vermilion Palace secretly observed his expression to ensure he really didn't know, and then gritted her teeth and said:

"【Wind-Listening Bai Shi Mountain】 is a treasure under the mountain of the Dou Xuan Orthodoxy. Not to mention that its various wonders are beneficial to her breakthrough, its most basic function is to comb the earth veins, moving without chaos. If our guess is correct, Kong Tingyun is in seclusion in the earth veins of the Profound Wonder View!"

"He secretly used the 【Wind-Listening Bai Shi Mountain】 to stabilize the earth veins, turning his lifelong cultivation into spiritual energy of the same orthodoxy, secretly helping her break through!"

Vermilion Palace's eyebrows gradually became complex:

"Fellow Daoist also knows... the earth veins everywhere may be shattered, but Jiangbei cannot. Cultivators will not fight in Jiangbei... Even if there is, there will be adults watching."

"In this way, it will definitely not hurt Kong Tingyun! Since the earth veins will not be shattered, after the 【Wind-Listening Bai Shi Mountain】 protects Kong Tingyun during the earth-shaking moment of his fall, no one will be able to discover its efficacy..."

Li Ximing said in horror:

"At that time, Su Mian and I were both in the sky, and I don't know how many Zifu cultivators were in the dark. Why was there no detection?"

"Cough... cough..."

Vermilion Palace couldn't help but cough and replied:

"Su Mian practices the 'Treasure Earth' divine ability—'Hidden Collection Palace'. The spiritual object Kong Tingyun took is also the 【Roaming Pass Treasure Earth】 of 'Treasure Earth', which can echo his divine ability... It was prepared long ago... Hiding in the earth that I don't know how deep, these two conspired to protect her..."

Li Ximing's heart suddenly became bright, and all memories surged into his heart, vivid:

"Su Mian didn't make a move... It's not that his place of effort was not here... It was at the peak across the lake!"

Once these words were finished, Li Ximing raised his eyebrows, his heart shaken:

"Since this is the case, the 【Wind-Listening Bai Shi Mountain】 has no possibility of changing hands at all. It was borrowed, which means the Jianmen definitely knows!"

"This matter is probably known by one more party... the Jianmen!"

Sure enough, it was definitely not just him who thought of this at the first time. Vermilion Palace's gaze was complex:

"Perhaps Changxi didn't discuss it with the Jianmen at all, just calculated that the Jianmen considers itself noble and would definitely not forcibly take away the spiritual weapon and cause her breakthrough to fail. Now it seems, sure enough! Even if the situation worsens step by step, knowing that once this person breaks through, it will inevitably give the north a handle, the Jianmen has always remained indifferent..."

Li Ximing seemed not to hear, his heart dim:

"Back then, sending someone to my house to ask for the 【Wind-Listening Bai Shi Mountain】, on one hand, Ling Mei took the opportunity to cut off the Profound Heaven's lakeside territory, secretly stretching his hands and feet in the sect, and silently making arrangements outside the sect. On the other hand... I am afraid he was reminding me!"

A cold light flashed in Vermilion Palace's eyes, and her vermilion lips parted slightly:

"Zhaojing Fellow Daoist, guess... Wei Wei Xuan Yin personally summoned Ye Huai back to the capital. Did he have such a plan? This move... he had been concerned about it long ago, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly!"

"It is true that our families have private agreements, but Ye Huai is clear. If Wei Wei Xuan Yin explains the details to Kong Tingyun in a blurred and slightly distorted way... how will this matter end? Do you and I still have a chance to argue?"

Her emotions became agitated, and the warm wind in the cave dwelling became even stronger, making the light on the side dim, flickering as if it were about to go out. The woman gritted her teeth and said:

"Kong Tingyun... after climbing up to Zhi Xuan Xie... what need is there to listen to our arguments! What is the use of believing or not believing one-sided words? Even if it is fake... it must become true!"

Great Zhao, Capital.

The brilliant morning sun was rising from the horizon, passing through the clouds, releasing rays of golden light, passing through the dense Sendai pavilions, flickering in the distance.

The dark steps reflected the bronze-like color in the brightness. 1,800 long steps spanned the elegant clouds, showing a solemn and cold sense of majesty.

The sunlight lifted inch by inch, climbing all the way to the platform, illuminating this vast Sendai with gates standing on all sides, and finally illuminating the plaque of the main hall on the platform, revealing three snow-white characters.

【Zhi Xuan Xie】

The main hall was vast, and a bright silver tripod stood in the center. The clear water inside was as calm as a mirror, releasing deep brilliance, reflecting the calm eyes of the long-haired man in the main seat high above.

This person was draped in a silver robe like feathers, each piece like a feather, his eyes long and narrow, quite having a bit of neutral softness. A silver incense burner was placed in front of the table, and a hairpin was untied by him and placed on the side.

It was the current National Master of Great Zhao, the leader of the Guanxie faction—Wei Wei Xuan Yin.

He sat quietly at the table, his expression quite different from that day in Luoxia, with a bit more uprightness. Looking closely at his eyebrows and eyes, he looked more like a man, not as soft as when he suppressed the Solar Orthodoxy at that time.

Beside this main seat was a pale silver table, about ten steps away, which already seemed extremely close in this vast main hall. There were no spiritual objects or fine wine on the table, only a simple copper plate, mixed with several kinds of sand powder inside, emitting faint brilliance.

Sitting at the table was a woman in a Xiang-colored Dharma robe, with a beautiful face and quite good temperament. The fluctuations of her Gen Earth divine ability were unstable, as if she had just broken through to Zifu.

It was a pity that her willow eyebrows were slightly frowned, showing a bit of confusion and uneasiness, but the master did not speak, so she just waited patiently.

"Uncle-master!"

A loud laugh came from outside the hall. A young man wearing a black cloud robe with mysterious patterns, white bottom and golden edges, and a purple silk belt around his waist stepped in, making Wei Wei Xuan Yin raise his eyebrows and say softly:

"Nephew-master has taken it back."

Qi Lanyan laughed and entered, turned slightly, and revealed the person behind him.

It turned out to be two little cultivators with black crowns holding jade plates, on which were placed several thick golden books. Qi Lanyan said sternly:

"I asked Junior Sister and invited the 【Zhaoyao Mountain Secret Profound Immortal Genealogy】 here. After all, it requires incense and bathing, which delayed the time. Please don't blame me!"

"I dare not!"

The woman in Xiang clothes hurriedly responded. Wei Wei Xuan Yin looked at her with a smile, without any arrogance, and only said:

"Please!"

The woman said respectfully:

"The ancestor of the 【Profound Light Moving Mountain Great Dao】 is named Luo Yuan, who studied under the 【Tongxuan Palace】 Great True Person Lü Bai, came out of the Shu region, and preached in Luoxia."

"Zhou Zhaozhi obtained it and passed it to Li Bi. Three generations after Li Bi entered Ning, preached to Zhao Yan, and Zhao Yan passed it to Kong Xia. The clan was transformed into a clan for ten generations, and the ancestor True Person Changxi Kong Yanxi achieved divine ability."

This woman was Kong Tingyun, who had disappeared after the strange phenomenon in the north!

Qi Lanyan picked up the sect scroll, looked at it slightly, and replied:

"Great True Person Lü Bai fell while impacting the remaining position. There was a disciple named Luo Yuan. Although not as good as the Guanxie Orthodoxy, there is indeed an origin."

Kong Tingyun lowered her eyebrows and did not speak.

When she broke through and came out of seclusion, this True Person Qi appeared in the earth veins, claiming to be of the same Tongxuan Orthodoxy, and wanted her to return to the north with him to recognize her ancestors and return to the clan first.

Kong Tingyun could see at a glance that this True Person's cultivation was extremely high and his divine abilities were powerful. The joy of the breakthrough was immediately splashed with a basin of cold water, and her desire to see the sect was also flatly refused—the Profound Heaven Sect had already been carved up!

This news almost made her vomit blood, but the True Person in front of her had clear divine abilities and could not be doubted. Kong Tingyun didn't even have a chance to hesitate and was immediately brought to this Zhi Xuan Xie, half-coerced and half-sent.

So a more terrifying Great True Person came!

Kong Tingyun was not without vision. Not to mention the peak divine abilities on the other party, even the many spiritual weapons on the table were beyond her reach, and her heart was even more shocked and suspicious.

Her elder Changxi had been running around for the first half of his life, asking people everywhere, and no family was willing to admit that they were truly of Tongxuan origin, nor was anyone willing to admit that the 【Profound Light Moving Mountain Great Dao】 was an ancient orthodoxy... Now that she had just broken through, she had already been found by the people of Zhi Xuan Xie!

"I'm afraid they want to use me!"

At the moment, she could only stand on the side in silence, listening to the Great True Person say casually:

"It's a pity that there are no paintings or genealogy, and everything is in doubt... But after all, they are people of the Xu Kingdom back then, and they broke through to Zifu in Jiangbei. They should have been recorded in Zhi Xuan Xie. Not to mention that they practice the Tongxuan Orthodoxy?"

Wei Wei Xuan Yin was strict. According to this rule, Qi Lanyan nodded and said respectfully:

"According to the junior's understanding, this True Person Changxi suffered the aftermath of the True Monarch's Northern Tour back then, and the whole clan suffered a great disaster, so it fell, and it only rose from him."

Wei Wei Xuan Yin was slightly interested and nodded:

"It turns out that he can be considered a talent with destiny. How much cultivation? The 'Gen Earth' inheritance is strict. I'm afraid the cultivation is not high!"

Qi Lanyan hurriedly saluted and replied:

"Uncle-master calculated correctly. It is the early stage of Zifu, and he also practices 'Foolishly Moving Mountains', but he was eager to seek the Dao and used some means in his early years. Who knew it involved Jinlian Mohe, and was discovered by the Nian family."

"So he reported it to that one. That one was already dissatisfied with the act of boasting about the True Monarch's affairs and secretly claiming credit. How could this be allowed? Fortunately, He did not come forward in person. It is estimated that He sent someone to warn him privately. Since then, he has been coy and did not dare to do much."

Once these words came out, Wei Wei Xuan Yin raised his eyebrows, while Kong Tingyun felt the mountains and rivers collapsing in her heart, and her mind gradually went blank:

"What?"

"How is it possible?!"

Kong Tingyun knew that her ancestor could definitely not be considered an upright person, and he had many means in private. She only knew that he had never succeeded, and in the end, they were all included in the sect. That was why he was in the early stage of Zifu until his death. She had never thought that it was this origin!

It was related to the Nian family of Xiuyue, and it could be called 'that one' by these two in front of her. Who else could it be?! She was clever, so she guessed it immediately, and her heart was cold.

"These two brought me here from thousands of miles away... They shouldn't be making up such empty words to lie to me... Many things back then did indeed have doubts... Could it be that the ancestor had been waiting for Him to fail the breakthrough... That's why he cultivated one after another, but wasted his remaining years."

Wei Wei Xuan Yin seemed to notice something, closed the book in his hand, and said with interest:

"What's going on?"

Qi Lanyan was equally sharp and smiled:

"It was Junior Sister who discovered it. According to reason, that one is not a domineering person, and Changxi is old, so he could have been respected. But at that time, Changxi saw that one and was so terrified that he dared not raise his head, being respectful beyond measure. Later, I specifically checked it. It was related to the Jinlian Mohe of the Great Desire Dao. This Jinlian Mohe was beheaded by that one, and since then he did not dare to go south, and he should have received a warning."

Kong Tingyun's pupils dilated slightly, but she heard Wei Wei Xuan Yin laugh and shake his head, saying lightly:

"Alright... let's not discuss the past. Take her down to talk about the situation... at least come forward to help her get her clansmen back."

He smiled slightly, with a bit of neutral gentle beauty, and in an instant, his whole face became vivid:

"Afterwards... the mountain gate should also be taken back, hmm?"
