Emperor Yu descended the Four Pillars: to suppress demons, exorcise devils, deliver ghosts, and slay immortals. From the Four Pillars, Four Gates were born: the Dao Gate to slay demons, the Buddhis...
Chapter 483 Eight Immortals
The more Li Yanmo thought about it, the weirder it seemed.
First of all, the Thunder Immortal must have come to show off his ability to control thunder, and the Thunder Pool in the first level is definitely not a test of courage.
Monk Dayu felt that the first level was a test of courage, purely because the starting point was too high. He felt that the Thunder Immortal's method of controlling thunder was testing their ability to break the rules... and simply because that method of controlling thunder was too backward.
How backward is this method of controlling thunder?
Even he felt left behind.
This is very strange. In the common sense of the world view of cultivating immortals, the older something is, the stronger it is, so the monks are keen on exploring all kinds of ancient things. A map that looks ancient and has no beginning or end can attract countless people to scramble for it.
This is not incomprehensible. Those ancient things that can be remembered by people are often very powerful. For cultivators at the three levels of Huashen, Yuanying, and Jindan, immortal things are immortal things. They will not look down on them just because they are very old.
The Eight Desolate Emperor was a powerful being active in the early days of Dayu. He was the first person in Dayu's Taoist lineage to become an immortal and also one of the strongest.
Therefore, in everyone's inherent impression, the inheritance of the Eight Desolate Emperor must be of very high quality.
But as an insider, Li Yanmo knew a lot of things, such as the peerless macho man who proclaimed himself the Emperor of Eight Desolations in the early days of the Dayu Dynasty was actually Dayu's geographer.
At that time, the Yu Dynasty had just been established, the remnants of the Great Wilderness were ready to make a move, and the Yu Daoism was in its infancy, with everything waiting to be rebuilt. The world was too big, and the Yu Dynasty alone was not enough to suppress the remnants of the Great Wilderness.
Only by allowing Dayu's Taoist lineage to develop can the remnants of the Great Wilderness be completely suppressed.
It takes too much time and energy to start from scratch, so the best way is to take the essence of the existing tradition and remove the dross, and then improve the overall strength through popularization.
For example, the Tianhuo Sect's secret Ninety-Nine Levels of Nanli Fire Art, after some revisions, was included in the military school's curriculum as the basic fire art.
The Emperor of Eight Desolations has killed the eight people in the Tribulation Crossing Stage and melted their small worlds. Would it be possible that he would completely dismantle the Taoist traditions of these eight people and use them to enhance the overall strength of Dayu's Taoist tradition?
Obviously not.
Not only in the Thunder Palace, the expressions of the monks in the other seven palaces also gradually became subtle.
It’s not that the inheritance of the Eight Desolate Emperor is not dangerous. It is still dangerous and one can be killed if one is not careful. It’s just that the content of the inheritance of the Eight Desolate Emperor is too rubbish.
The so-called racing rewards are just some things that have grades but are actually rubbish.
Risking your life on these things?
"It must be a test! It must be a test!"
Everyone was shouting like this, but their pace slowed down involuntarily. Only two people seemed unaware that the inheritance of the Eight Desolate Emperor was a losing business and kept rushing in. One was Xiao Yun and the other was Li Lin.
Yan Xian's attention was all on Xiao Yun, so he didn't notice the subtle atmosphere between the Dayu monks at all.
"Xiao Yun has already passed the third level! He's almost at the fourth level!"
At this time, Yanxian transformed into the most dedicated announcer, constantly reporting the battle situation to everyone in the Immortal Palace.
Tianmo and others clenched their fists excitedly, but the black shadow, as the planner, clasped his fingers together and stared at the chessboard in front of him which was still changing.
This chessboard is an incredible magical treasure that can calculate the situation in a calamity-like way.
Now the plan is going smoothly, but he can't see much chance of winning on the chessboard.
Was it because some idiot among them thought they had a sure win and so they planned to seek personal gain, which resulted in a flaw in their plan, or was it...
A drop of cold sweat ran down the black shadow's forehead.
"Everyone, the Xutian Taoist sect is the Tianxu Tower. There is no difference between the Taoist sect and falling into the hands of the Tianxu Tower. We must stand on the side of Dayu this time and balance the strength of the two parties. We must not let Emperor Yu make a single move and use the Holy Pillar!"
"Although we want to seize Xiao Yun's body this time, we do so in order to help Emperor Yu with the Great Saint Bone and the power of the Eight Desolate Worlds!"
Just in case, the black shadow emphasized it again.
Tianmo and others nodded, and even the announcer Yanxian said that he would never do anything stupid.
"Where are the Eight Immortals?! One of the Eight Immortals please come and see me!" The black shadow was still cautious and called out directly.
Not long after, a blurry figure appeared, with lightning wrapped around that person. If the cultivators who had entered the Thunder Palace were present, they would definitely recognize that this person was the Thunder Immortal who was using the old-fashioned method of controlling lightning.
"grown ups--"
Lei Xian clasped his hands together and bowed respectfully.
The black shadow just raised his hand and waved, "How about the inheritance of the Eight Desolate Emperor?"
"My Lord, the will of the Eight Desolate Emperor has long dissipated, and the Eight Desolate Land has fallen into the hands of us eight immortals," Lei Xian was still respectful, but there was a hint of pride in his tone, "As long as your Lord gives the order, we will join forces to open the Eight Desolate Palace. As long as we work together, we can peel off the Eight Desolate Land and reconstruct it into a small world."
"There won't be any accidents?" The black shadow suddenly felt a little uneasy and confirmed it again.
Lei Xian was stunned, "Sir, what kind of accident could there be?"
The black shadow pinched his chin and said nothing.
Yes, what kind of accident could happen? Just in case, he even lured Xiao Yun to summon Dayu's imperial guards.
Tianxu Tower is not lacking in strength, what it lacks is legitimacy.
Emperor Yu just wanted to do something outrageous, but he didn't do it. However, if Tianxu Tower and the Imperial Guards had a conflict in the Eight Wildernesses, Tianxu Tower would lose the initiative.
What's more, what he is aiming for is not just the Eight Desolations.
"There won't be any accidents! But just in case, all eight of you will disguise yourself as the Eight Desolate Emperors and lure those Dayu monks."
"Yes, sir."
As soon as Lei Xian returned to the Thunder Palace, he saw a bunch of Dayu monks pointing at the magic weapons in the palace and saying they were rubbish, and they speculated that this was a test to see if they had greed.
Lei Xian was so angry that he vomited blood, but he had nothing to say.
The Lord asked him to pretend to be the Emperor of Eight Desolations, but he couldn't do it in front of everyone, so he had to choose someone who was neither strong nor weak but had great potential to pretend to be.
Lei Xian looked around and soon a person appeared in his field of vision. That person was only in the Nascent Soul stage, but there were two dragon patterns on his neck! ?
A person with great luck!
It’s him!
Out of curiosity, Li Yanmo picked up a small awl and was playing with it when a voice sounded in his ear.
"Boy, I think you have a chance—"
Before Lei Xian finished speaking, Hong Menglian, who was fiddling with the statue, frowned and immediately turned back, "How dare you speak to Master Li in such a tone!?"
Hong Menglian stretched out her hand and waved it violently, and the Thunder Immortal appeared, and fell to his knees on the ground with a thud.
Li Yanmo raised his eyebrows, "Who are you?"
"I, I am the Emperor of Eight Desolations. I see that you have a connection with me, so I want to give you a chance."
Lei Xian hesitated and didn't dare to look up and meet Hong Menglian's eyes.
"Are you the Emperor of Eight Desolations?"
"I am the Emperor of Eight Desolations... and my seat is the Thunder Immortal!"
Because Hong Menglian showed a belligerent look, Lei Xian immediately changed his words.
