Chapter 237 Chapter 236 Xu Yuanzhen's Road to Return

Chapter 237 236. Xu Yuanzhen’s return

It has been more than two years since Lin Che, the leader of the Lin Clan in Jiangzhou, returned to the world.

Because of his return, the Jiangzhou Lin clan finally ended its internal strife.

However, during this period, Lin Che and the Jiangzhou Lin Clan had not made any further moves.

In the Tianshi Mansion on Longhu Mountain, Lei Jun and others were more vigilant than curious.

In addition, the eldest sister Xu Yuanzhen has never returned, and everyone in the Tianshi Mansion has no doubt that Jiangzhou Lin clan's outsiders have other plans, and they first target Xu Yuanzhen who is hanging outside.

Hearing before that Lin Che had returned to the human world and first appeared in the Daheishan area of ​​northern Xinjiang, Lei Jun was wary, so he went to the Sky Book Starry Sky Universe to inquire about the news.

Now that I heard that someone from the Jiangzhou Lin tribe was acting abnormally in the Daheishan area of ​​northern Xinjiang, the first thought in Lei Jun's mind was that there might be a portal to a foreign land there.

The Jiangzhou Lin tribe intends to block the "gate" or destroy the "gate".

Tang Xiaotang was the first to get the news and couldn't sit still: "I'll go to Northern Xinjiang to have a look!"

Before Yuan Mobai could speak, she immediately added: "I will leave the control of the Ten Thousand Fa Sect Altar to my junior uncle along with the Tianshi Sword."

Yuan Mobai sighed softly: "It's better for me to make this trip. The leader affects both the inside and outside of the sect. The situation in northern Xinjiang is still unclear at the moment, so it's not appropriate to take risks personally!"

"Uncle Junior Master, when you went to the Southern Wilderness earlier, the sect was obviously short of manpower to deal with various matters, large and small. If you have options, it would be better for you to stay in the mountains."

Tang Xiaotang waved his hands, trying to make a sad expression on his face, but he looked like he was eager to give it a try: "Uncle, you have a calm temperament and are not easily disturbed by the outside world. But I, just thinking about the group of people in Jiangzhou who want to murder my senior sister, I I’m so helpless that I can’t sit still and wish I could help her right away!”

"..." Yuan Mobai said: "I can understand the master's mood, but the more this is the case, the less impatient it is."

Wang Guiyuan didn't squint his eyes. He looked very much in agreement with what his master Yuan Mobai said.

Lei Jun turned his face to the side.

Chu Kun looked down at the ground, and he couldn't bear to look at it either.

Senior sister in charge, you actually can’t sit still on the mountain... Chu Kun complained in his heart.

As he received the teachings and his cultivation level increased, although his first priority was his own cultivation and he did not have a clear role in the sect, he also began to observe similar things in the past few years to increase his experience.

Of course, the main reason is the current environment of private ventilation.

Later, when there was a formal discussion with Yao Yuan, Shangguan Ning and other elders, Wang Guiyuan and Chu Kun were not allowed to attend.

As for Tang Xiaotang, he really wasn't worried about Xu Yuanzhen's safety.

However, it was not because she had a bad relationship with Xu Yuanzhen.

A certain new heavenly master has always been full of confidence.

She has the most confidence in herself.

Then there is senior sister Xu Yuanzhen.

So all she can think about right now is going to Daheishan in northern Xinjiang to have fun... No, cross it out, it's about causing trouble for the Lin Clan in Jiangzhou.

At this moment, the ball of light flashed in Lei Jun's mind, once again providing clues to seek good fortune and avoid disaster.

After carefully reading the relevant text, Lei Jun calmed down.

This information confirmed his earlier conjectures and the new information provided by Yueyao.

The Jiangzhou Lin Clan is indeed making moves in the Daheishan Mountains of northern Xinjiang.

And according to the eight words "the foreign land outside the sky, the battle of entry and exit", it is indeed possible that there is a portal or path to the foreign land outside the sky, and the landing point here is in the northern border.

It was through this portal that Lin Che returned.

The reason why it took two years to take action may be that Lin Che was not in good condition and needed to recuperate. On the other hand, it may be that it was not easy for them to block the door and destroy it. They needed to prepare for the disaster or respond accordingly. treasure.

In the territory of the Youzhou Lin Clan, it is impossible to hide things from the Youzhou Lin Clan.

Although the two forests in the north and south are at odds, they should be in the same camp when it comes to suppressing the Tianshi Mansion.

The current actions of the Jiangzhou Lin Clan are very likely to be helped by the Youzhou Lin Clan.

There are four fortunes, except for the middle lot which is completely ignored, there are two middle and upper lot and one middle and lower lot.

Putting aside the fact that winning the lottery indicates great danger, neither of the two fortunes for the winning lottery is completely safe, but the pros outweigh the disadvantages, so the winning lottery is chosen.

The risks involved also show that the Jiangzhou Lin tribe currently has top masters operating in northern Xinjiang.

This shows how much the other party attaches importance to this trip.

In this case, even if it weren't for Tang Xiaotang, the Tianshi Mansion would probably need another eighth-level master Yuan Mobai to take action.

It's one thing to have confidence in Xu Yuanzhen, but you can't just turn a blind eye.

Of course, it could also be the personnel of the Youzhou Lin Clan.

Therefore, we still have to prevent the Jiangzhou Lin clan from diverting the tiger away from the mountain. Therefore, one of Tang Xiaotang and Yuan Mobai must stay in the ancestral court of the Tianshi Mansion Mountain Gate.

Theoretically, this heavenly master sits at the mountain gate.

But that's just in theory...

It has been more than seven years since Tang Xiaotang took over the position of Heavenly Master.

In the past seven years, she has not taken a step down from Longhu Mountain.

This is the longest time she has spent on the mountain since she started.

To put it bluntly, according to her usual temperament, if she had made a handicap at the beginning, most people would not believe that she would be willing to squat at the mountain gate for so long.

Now, the tigress is really about to emerge...

Well, from a certain perspective, Tang Tianshi was right.

Regardless of their status, among the two of them, Yuan Mobai is more suitable to sit on the mountain, and she is more suitable to go out and work hard.

Especially when she decided not to bring the Heavenly Master Sword with her.

However, this makes people more worried about the safety of the great Heavenly Master.

Although a certain Heavenly Master himself was very happy.

"Master, this time, I will go with the head sister." Lei Jun said after a moment of silence.

Tang Xiaotang smiled and patted Lei Jun on the shoulder.

Wang Guiyuan sighed softly when he heard it.

Junior Brother Lei is usually indifferent, but he is still full of blood and courage to take on tasks... Wang Guiyuan smiled slightly and looked at Lei Jun.

Yuan Mobai looked at Lei Jun with an unchanged expression: "Chongyun, what do you think?"

Lei Jun: "I will ask if there is any follow-up news from the Heavenly Book. This trip is related to the senior sister... I think that the contest between our sect and the old enemy of the Jiangzhou Lin clan may be the key this time."

"Your opinion, the master agrees." Yuan Mobai nodded gently.

Wang Guiyuan: "Master, Junior Brother Lei, there are only about two months before the next ordination ceremony..."

Tang Xiaotang waved his hand: "Whatever the previous master did during his retreat, I will do it as usual when I am not on the mountain."

Lei Jun: "Master is on the mountain, and you and Junior Brother are here. If I am out this time and cannot make it back for the ordination ceremony, please perform the ceremony on my behalf, and I will make up for it after I return to the mountain."

Tang Xiaotang laughed and jumped up: "That's it!"

Later, in the Heavenly Master Hall, Yao Yuan and Shangguan Ning also expressed their concerns about Tang Xiaotang's departure.

However, since it was related to Xu Yuanzhen, they had no better solution.

Shangguan Ning contacted the Tang court as soon as possible, hoping that the other party would also pay attention to the northern border and provide assistance or even cooperation with Tang Xiaotang when necessary.

However, the news that Lei Jun was also going to leave the mountain was concealed, and even Yao Yuan and Shangguan Ning did not know.

On the one hand, it was because of his current cultivation level, and on the other hand, because his departure meant that the Heavenly Master Seal would leave the mountain again.

Lei Jun announced to the public that he would practice in seclusion on Mount Longhu, and even the errands of the Imperial Book Pavilion would be temporarily handed over to the disciples on duty.

At his current level of cultivation, this was common.

With Yuan Mobai's help in covering it up, he was not worried that other people on the mountain would see through it.

Tang Xiaotang left the mountain first, and Lei Jun did not go with her for the time being, but went out quietly alone.

He went north first, and Tang Xiaotang went to another place instead.

Lei Jun asked her to help send Qingyang Xuanshuang to the place he and Yueyao agreed on.

Although the information given by Yueyao seemed to be a little different from the fortune, it was difficult to say that the other party was with the Jiangzhou Lin clan and leaked false information from the Dahei Mountain to Lei Jun, so Lei Jun still gave Qingyang Xuanshuang to the other party and asked the other party to continue to inquire about relevant information.

At that time, Tang Xiaotang, who had a higher level of cultivation, could find out the other party's true identity.

Of course, it would not take much time.

According to the fortune, the end of November would be the time to see the real outcome.

Tang Xiaotang was quite interested in similar things, so she immediately took Qingyang Xuanshuang to go on this trip.

However, the result was not particularly ideal.

"It was almost, but I didn't catch him." The tall woman looked annoyed: "The only thing that can be confirmed is that he is a Confucianist."

Lei Jun thought thoughtfully: "So it seems that he is at least a great Confucian at the eighth level of the heaven, although it is also possible that he asked a master to do it for him, not the person himself."

Tang Xiaotang snorted: "Hurry up and go to the northern border, otherwise I will definitely find him out."

Lei Jun: "I believe in your strength on this point, but according to what you said, with the other party's cultivation, in that case, you should be face to face, and everyone's identity will be revealed."

Tang Xiaotang's thoughts are jumping: "You said before that Ri Yao might know Do you know the identities of all of you?"

Lei Jun: "Nine out of ten are likely to be so. As for whether she can do something else, I am not sure yet."

Tang Xiaotang laughed and said: "White Lotus Sect, Shen Ce Army, Tianshi Mansion, and Confucianism, hey, is it a deliberate arrangement or a coincidence?"

Lei Jun: "I am now inclined to coincidence, not Ri Yao's deliberate arrangement."

He turned the topic back: "Little Senior Sister, the latest news is that there are indeed people from the Jiangzhou Lin Clan in the northern border, but the Dahei Mountain may just be a cover-up to deceive us."

Telling Tang Xiaotang that there is an ambush over there may actually arouse Tang Xiaotang's interest.

She lost interest after seeing the false move: "Ah?"

"In addition to Dahei Mountain, there are two other places where people from the Jiangzhou Lin Clan have appeared."

Lei Jun continued: "They are Longgu Ridge and Changtian Lake. Before I left the mountain, I checked the general map of the northern border area. These two places are quite far from Dahei Mountain. We can try to split our forces into two groups."

There is basically no difference between the two middle-high lots from the description of the lot. The specific situation will probably only be known at noon on November 30.

With such a clear time description, it is basically impossible for one person to pack at the same time.

Even if Tang Xiaotang has a high level of cultivation, it may not be possible for such a cheap thing.

So Lei Jun and Tang Xiaotang simply went one way and reunited later.

Tang Xiaotang picked one at random: "Then I'll go to Longgu Ridge."

Lei Jun nodded: "Then I'll go to Changtian Lake to take a look. According to the information we have so far, noon on November 30th will be a key time, but the specific situation is unclear. I'm not worried about your cultivation strength, but the matter involves the outer world, so we still need to be more careful."

Tang Xiaotang suddenly laughed: "Maybe Senior Sister will come back early?"

Lei Jun also laughed: "I hope so too."

But it's a pity that it is not Xu Yuanzhen if it is so easy to do what everyone wants.

Lei and Jun traveled all the way north, but never received news that Xu Yuanzhen had returned to the world.

As we continue to go north, the climate becomes colder and colder in the middle of winter.

The scenery in the north is already covered with thousands of miles of ice and snow.

Lei Jun and his two men have crossed Youzhou and entered the northern territory.

In this area, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and there are more and more monsters.

Ordinary people only live in a few areas with special climate environments.

Apart from those areas that are rarely suitable for human survival, the rest of northern Xinjiang is a restricted area for most life forms.

Even monks in the middle and low realms may be in danger in such an environment.

Lei Jun and the two of them separated in the middle of the journey, one going to Longgu Ridge and the other to Changtian Lake, leaving Daheishan alone for the time being.

Although Changtian Lake is a famous large lake in northern Xinjiang, it is almost December, and a large area of ​​the lake here has been frozen.

After Lei Jun arrived at Changtian Lake, he looked around at the snow-capped mountains and ice trees in all directions, taking his time to observe carefully.

Under the triple cover of the wind and thunder talisman, the snake bone, and the Xi soil flag, Lei Jun restrained his figure and inspected the entire Changtian Lake.

But in this white and cold world, there are no monks from the Jiangzhou Lin clan, nor anyone else.

"It's not here, or the time hasn't come yet?" Lei Jun thought thoughtfully.

According to the fortune telling, there may be a fourth-grade opportunity hidden here, but there is still time before November 30th, so Lei Jun is in a calm mood and waits patiently.

He always devotes time to practice, so even in such an environment, he still practices quietly, breathes in and out silently, and meditates to concentrate.

After this period of latent cultivation on Longhu Mountain, Lei Jun has further organized and summarized what he has learned throughout his life, and condensed it into the Taoist Seal.

At this point, his training in the Sixth Heaven Realm can be said to have reached perfection.

On the basis of the Yin-Yang Holy Body, his understanding has also been raised to the level of tranquility. With the help of Chu Kun's Immortal Spirit Origin Seed and his own Heavenly Master Seal, Lei Jun's accumulation and improvement speed in this realm is far faster than that of his peers.

However, having a complete realm of the Sixth Heaven and having the confidence to overcome the catastrophe between the Sixth Heaven and the Seventh Heaven are undoubtedly two different things.

This level is the watershed between the monks of the middle three days and the monks of the upper three days.

Since ancient times, countless people have fallen into disasters in the chasm between the sixth and seventh heavens, and many of them are amazingly talented and beautiful.

In addition to Lei Jun, Zhang Jingzhen, and Lin Shan, the Longhu Mountain Tianshi Mansion currently has six elders from the previous generation.

After years of accumulation, there are naturally people who have complete Tao seals among them, but they are stuck in the sixth heaven realm.

It is precisely because if you take the last step, you may die.

Before, there were not one or two precedents.

Similar things are like drinking water and knowing whether it is warm or cold.

As for Lei Jun, he is actually quite confident now.

The current stage is to constantly adjust one's body and mind to reach the most perfect peak of essence, energy, and spirit, and then break through the dangerous barrier in one fell swoop.

For this aspect of practice, you can find a suitable place to retreat and practice without paying attention to foreign affairs, or you can travel around, observe mountains and rivers, comprehend the world, and have a thought come true in an instant.

Therefore, when Lei Jun comes out this time, neither Yuan Mobai nor Tang Xiaotang are worried about him for this reason.

When it comes to spiritual practice, Lei Jun himself has always been diligent and has his own merits.

Lei Jun is currently sitting in the snow-capped mountains by Changtian Lake, and the snow is getting thicker, burying him.

And with his eyes closed, he seemed to be sleeping, blending in with nature.

The cold air from heaven and earth was constantly absorbed into Lei Jun's body.

Then, these cold air turned into heat flow and circulated in his body.

The alternation of hot and cold also evolves the way of mutual change between yin and yang.

Northern Xinjiang is vast and cold. Although it is extremely cold, it is not sinister.

After Lei Jun refined it, he felt that it contained yang energy. In his own practice, he was turning yang into yin, constantly intertwining and flowing.

For a moment, the mystery of heaven and earth filled his mind, making him feel something else.

Although the Dao Seal was not hanging above his head at this moment, it was connected with Lei Jun's soul and was trembling slightly.

His physical and mental state became more and more high-spirited.

As time gradually passed, it gradually came to noon on the last day of November.

In the Changtian Lake area, it was a time of heavy wind and snow, and the sky was dark and there was no sunlight.

But Lei Jun could feel that the time was approaching noon.

He opened his eyes and looked ahead at Changtian Lake.

The lake was frozen and peaceful.

There was still no sign of anyone else around.

until……

"boom!!"

In the distance, there was suddenly an earth-shaking loud noise!

Lei Jun looked in that direction.

The direction of Dragon Bone Ridge.

Is it the other party’s handiwork or Tang Xiaotang’s?

Lei Jun was on the top of the snow-capped mountains by Changtian Lake. Looking into the distance, he saw a hint of gold suddenly appearing in the wind and snow.

Although it was completely white, the sharp and dazzling golden light was still faintly revealed.

The surrounding heaven and earth were shaken.

Lei Jun sat cross-legged and stayed still, but stretched out a hand and pointed his fingers diagonally downward in front of him.

On the ground there, there was already a piece of his Heaven Seeing and Earth Listening Talisman.

Through the spiritual talisman, Lei Jun could clearly sense that the spiritual energy of the surrounding earth veins was flowing, and drastic changes occurred at this moment.

It was as if an angry dragon was rolling underground, rushing out from afar, sneaking in the abyss, and ramming headlong into it.

"The Furious Dragon" passes through Changtian Lake from underground. Changtian Lake is not its end point, but continues to extend into the distance.

The snow-capped mountains it passed by shook one after another, and huge avalanches erupted everywhere in an instant.

Under the chaotic spiritual energy, the sky and the earth were surging, and the wind and snow that had originally spread over Changtian Lake were forcibly dispersed at this time.

The sunlight at noon fell from above.

Lei Jun stood up to avoid the impact of the earthquake on the snow-capped mountains below him, but did not make any other big moves, and observed the overall changes in Changtian Lake and its surroundings.

The ice surface of Changtian Lake cracked, and the thick ice layer seemed to come alive at this moment, and the ice water rolled back and rushed to the sky.

The sunlight that temporarily fell after the wind and snow dissipated did not bring warmth to people, but instead there was a murderous atmosphere between heaven and earth.

Lei Jun felt something in his heart, and without any hesitation, he took refuge in the Zhenyi Dharma Altar Cave Heaven derived from the Heavenly Master Seal.

At the last moment before leaving, Lei Jun vaguely saw that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was colliding, and at this moment it seemed to tear the space around Changtian Lake apart...

After entering the Zhenyi Dharma Altar Cave Heaven, Lei Jun stood in the dojo in front of the altar, patiently waiting for the turmoil in the outside world to end.

He didn't need to sense it himself or try to observe it.

Because the turmoil in the outside world even caused the Zhenyi Altar Cave Heaven to shake slightly.

The wind was agitated, the Taoist banners on the altar kept fluttering, and the 49 lights flickered.

"No wonder the middle fortune said there would be waves." Lei Jun understood.

The Heavenly Master Seal was very mysterious. He took refuge in the Zhenyi Altar Cave Heaven, almost exempting the perception of the cultivators in the seventh heaven realm, and even avoiding the threats of some enemies in the eighth heaven.

But if man-made disasters and natural disasters like the current one could shake the void, they might affect the Zhenyi Altar Cave Heaven and force Lei Jun to be thrown out.

Of course, although the scene was noisy at the moment, it was not dangerous enough.

Lei Jun entered the Zhenyi Altar and came to the top of the third floor of the altar. He stepped calmly and practiced the method of stepping on the Gangbu Dou.

The Zhenyi Altar began to flash with brilliance, and the entire cave heaven became much more stable than before.

After a while, the influence of the outside world on the cave heaven began to fade.

Considering the critical time of noon mentioned in the middle and upper fortune, Lei Jun did not wait for a moment this time, but left the cave in advance.

The storm outside has not completely subsided, and the tail is still fierce.

In Lei Jun's vision, Changtian Lake and the surrounding snow-capped mountains have completely changed, and the world within a radius of hundreds of miles is almost falling apart.

The scene in front of him seems to be still twisting and intertwining.

As soon as he appeared, Lei Jun felt the void twisting.

Without any hesitation, he immediately received the nine lights of the mixed cave of the Tianshi robe and added them to his body, while waving the Xirang flag.

The two strong defenses, one tough and the other long, combined successfully protected Lei Jun from being hurt by the twisted void.

In the twisted void, Lei Jun vaguely saw a little bit of spiritual light flashing, coming from the ice lake that rushed up from below.

As the twisting of the void gradually subsided, the strange spiritual light actually showed signs of dissipating.

This is a treasure that was accidentally born in Changtian Lake due to the change of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. All the conditions are indispensable, so it has never existed before. When the spiritual energy of heaven and earth calms down, this treasure will also dissipate, so there is only a moment to collect it, just like a flower that blooms and withers... Lei Jun's mind flashed, and he instantly understood the truth.

At present, the distortion of the void has not completely ended. If you want to get close to the spiritual light, you will go in the opposite direction and deviate from the direction.

But Lei Jun has a way now.

It is no longer the Xirang Flag.

He has a new "fishing rod" that is more suitable for the current situation.

The nine lights of the mixed hole on Jiazhi's body condensed and turned into a beam. Under Lei Jun's control, he drove his whole person forward. In the void that has not yet ended the distortion, he actually crossed it smoothly and arrived at the expected destination.

When passing by the spiritual light, the nine-light aura around Lei Jun rolled up and successfully took the spiritual light away.

Under the pressure of the distorted void, the dim light of the Xirang Flag suddenly dispersed into a ball.

Fortunately, the Nine Lights of Chaos Cave immediately reapplied to Lei Jun to protect him.

The opportunity was fleeting.

The distortion of space soon subsided.

The ice water that rushed up against the sky began to fall back.

The sunlight above his head gradually became sparse.

The wind and snow started again, covering a desolate ice lake and snow mountain that was completely unrecognizable.

Lei Jun landed on the top of the snow mountain, collected the Nine Lights of Chaos Cave and the Xirang Flag, and gathered his body.

Looking around, there was silence and no one except himself, so Lei Jun had time to examine the spiritual light.

Now the void has returned to normal, and the spiritual light is no longer condensed but scattered, with stars.

At first glance, it looks like a large and nine small round beads, a total of ten. Although they are luminous, the round beads themselves are not transparent and the color is blurred.

[Mother and Child Condensing Yuan Pearl]

Lei Jun's mind was filled with such a name.

…………

Dahei Mountain.

Lin Che, the elegant head of the Jiangzhou Lin Clan, was serious at this moment, with a deep look in his eyes.

He was also looking at the direction of Dragon Bone Ridge.

Behind him, some of the Lin Clan monks had ugly faces.

They were worried that there was no wall that was impenetrable and that the news would leak out, so they set up a false formation in Dahei Mountain, but in fact set up many ambushes to fight against possible potential enemies.

And Dragon Bone Ridge was where they actually set up the ritual!

Now Dahei Mountain is fine, but Dragon Bone Ridge has problems.

But... why?

Dragon Bone Ridge is also top secret within the Jiangzhou Lin Clan.

At present, many people in Dahei Mountain are not even aware of it, and are looking at the shocking changes in the direction of Dragon Bone Ridge with surprise on their faces.
