Chapter 253: Uneasy Heart

In the holy land of the sages, the rushing breath continued to roar in the gloomy sky, disorderly and chaotic.

And below him, Chen Luo, a descendant of the Chen family, was in a state of meditation in the bamboo forest between three mountains, seeking enlightenment and breaking through the barriers.

From the time he entered the holy land of the sages until now, autumn has passed, spring has come, and summer is approaching. This direct disciple of the Chen family has already crossed from the Rongdao realm to the Yingtian realm. The aura around him has become even more powerful, and he is now a completely different person from when he first arrived.

This is the mystery of the holy land of the ancient sages. It is no exaggeration to say that one year is equivalent to ten years of hard work.

But at this moment, Chen Luo, who was in meditation, suddenly showed a look of pain, and the mysterious light surrounding his body suddenly dissipated.

After a long time, Chen Luo opened his eyes, and after a burst of heavy breathing, he felt a chill in his heart, and the temples under the jade crown were soaked with sweat.

Since entering the holy land and attaining enlightenment, his practice has progressed rapidly.

Although among all the immortal cultivators in Qingyun World, the Little Master of Lingjian Mountain is the one who breaks through the realm the fastest.

But among all the disciples except her, Chen Luo is already a leader for being able to reach this level at his age.

But as he broke through the Yingtian realm, the aura in his body began to flow wildly and could not be calmed down, and his mind was also full of distracting thoughts, like the whispers of the devil, constantly disturbing his heart of Tao.

This was not a random thought in his mind, but came from the way of heaven.

To be precise, when he was in resonance with the Way of Heaven, there were always a lot of cold and distracting thoughts coming to his mind. This was a situation that Chen Luo had never encountered before.

You know, the holy land of the sages is a place for preaching, and it is the closest place between man and heaven. The way of heaven seen from here should be the clearest and purest rules, and should not be so mottled.

“Did I fix it wrong?”

"No, the path I'm walking is the same path that my ancestors of the Chen family have walked. How could I go wrong with each step I take?"

After taking a breath, Chen Luo felt his whole body was wrapped in a cold breath, clinging to his body surface, as sticky and cold as a layer of cold oil, which could not be shaken off, so he looked up at the sky.

He clearly remembered that when he entered the holy land of the ancient sages, the sky was always clear and bright, with a spring breeze blowing on his face.

But at this moment, dark clouds are hanging low, surrounding all directions.

Also, a few days ago, evil winds blew up in the holy land, rushing towards the southeast.

That is where the Gate of Mysterious Light opens, and it is the place they passed through when they came here.

Chen Luo's mind was in a mess, his heart was in disarray, and he was completely unable to think. He could only get up, then go up the mountain and come to the cliff of the North Mountain among the three mountains.

Chen Xi was sitting cross-legged here, wearing a blue and white double-breasted skirt, with her hair tied up in a bun, and a cinnabar mole between her eyebrows, which contrasted perfectly with her snow-white skin.

Although this place is not the center of the holy land, it is still infinitely mysterious. This saintly lady is also trying to break through here, but she is still one step away.

Hearing the footsteps coming from his ears, Chen Xi slowly opened his eyes and looked at his brother.

"Has the realm stabilized?"

"Sister, I always feel like my mind can't be at peace, as if it's been affected by something."

Hearing this, Chen Xi couldn't help but frown.

In fact, she felt the same as Chen Luo. She also felt that some changes seemed to have occurred in this holy land of the sages. She couldn't tell what it was, but she always had a feeling of being anxious and uneasy, so much so that her practice was stagnant.

Just as the two were talking, a gust of air suddenly rose in the valley.

This airflow was mixed with a heat wave, which rushed into the forests in all directions, shaking the green leaves on the mountain and making a rustling sound, and rushed along the mountain.

After feeling this breath, the brother and sister were slightly startled. Before they could react, an extremely powerful breath suddenly rose into the sky from the foot of Nanshan Mountain opposite them, like the morning light gushing out in the morning, filling the entire valley like the roar of a tiger or a dragon.

Snap——

Subconsciously, Chen Xi, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, supported his knees with both hands, while Chen Luo also clenched his fists, and the muscles on his back began to gather together.

They both felt a tremendous pressure coming along with the scorching air wave, moving up along the ridge, making it difficult for them to breathe.

Seeing this scene, the two couldn't help but look at each other.

They naturally knew the source of this energy, because this was the second time since they entered the holy land of the sages.

The first time it appeared was shortly after they entered this place. At that time, the whole valley was filled with the man's humming sounds, which made Chen Xi feel uneasy and confused.

And what followed was also a scorching air wave, as if the red sun was rising from the valley.

However, at that time, the two of them only had a vague feeling of tension, but this time they were full of pressure and needed to take the initiative to find a way to balance it.

That feeling was not oppression. To be more precise, it was like there was a huge beast lurking in the valley, powerful enough to swallow up mountains and rivers.

Chen Xi turned his head to look at A-di, and noticed the deep frown on A-di's brows, as well as the surge of spiritual energy around him.

A'di had already entered the Yingtian realm some time ago, and was already at another level. But even so, he still had to actively resist this feeling.

The path of cultivating immortals in Qingyun Tianxia has always been fixed, and the aura depends on the realm you are in.

But what the man in the mountains brought to them in the past six months was something completely beyond their cognition.

"Is he still Tongxuan?"

"I'm still at Tongxuan level and have never tried to break through." Chen Luo couldn't help but speak.

While the two siblings were talking, a figure in white clothes appeared from the valley. When the two saw this figure, the complexity in their eyes became even more intense.

Because compared to the overwhelming momentum that gave people the illusion of a sky-devouring beast, Ji You who walked out at this time was tall and thin, and looked more like a weak scholar.

Especially when his aura was restrained, there was nothing scary about him.

Ji You was standing at the foot of Nanshan Mountain at this time. He clenched his fists slightly, and a burst of energy began to rush through his body, and the blood in his body seemed to be roaring.

He has been training his body for more than half a year. After a long period of time, he has passed two levels. Now his physical strength is far better than before.

He had always thought that since enlightenment could be practiced independently from the physical body, then body refining could also be practiced independently from the realm and continue to improve. Now it seems to be true.

But the problem is that if the focus of enlightenment practice is to ascend to heaven in broad daylight, then what is the focus of body training? He does not understand it for the time being.

The tsundere will definitely regret not doing it sooner...

He had been procrastinating all the time, but now, his body has become stronger.

Ji You let out a long sigh, then dispersed his energy. He then exerted a little force with his feet, and his ferocious figure suddenly passed through the mountains and forests, then landed on the bank of a small river and floated down the stream.

There is a clear lake downstream of the stream. He has been practicing Taoism here for a long time and has already figured this place out.

When they reached the lake, Ji You jumped in and immersed himself in it.

His body training this time lasted for a very long time, and his whole body felt sticky. When he jumped into the lake, he immediately felt refreshed.

After finishing washing, he came out of the lake, used his spiritual energy to dry his clothes, looked up at the sky, and frowned slightly.

Since some time ago, the atmosphere of the holy land of sages seemed to be constantly changing, especially the laws of wind, rain and the four symbols, which seemed to be constantly colliding, so that there were waves of chilliness between the world here.

Although he had never experienced any spiritual connection, he also felt something was wrong. In his opinion, this was not normal, but something was not right.

After thinking for a long time, Ji You slowly closed his eyes, and golden divine thoughts began to fly into the sky.

He had always been afraid that he would not be able to suppress his state of mind and would be influenced by his obsession and turn into evil ways, but the vision in the holy land of the sages lasted for so long that he could no longer suppress his curiosity.

As his spiritual thoughts continued to rise into the sky, a chilling feeling instantly came over him.

The sky was rolling and turbulent, twisted and blurred, and underneath it there was an inexplicable aura coming from the southwest, constantly floating.

At this moment, a series of footsteps approached.

The Chen siblings, Chai Ze from Tianshu Academy, Yan Shujing and Yan Rui from Lingjian Mountain, as well as Jiang Chenfeng from Wendao Sect and Huo Hong from Shanhai Pavilion also came one after another.

When they got closer, they all couldn't help but look at Ji You, and found that he still had the aura of Tongxuan realm, and their expressions couldn't help but become strange.

Although the holy land of the ancient sages is huge, it is common to encounter it by chance.

As early as a few months ago, some people said that Ji You's realm seemed to have been stagnant.

Although only Chen Luo, a descendant of the Chen family, succeeded in breaking through, the auras of the others had almost reached the level. However, Ji You's realm was like stagnant water, with no difference from before he entered, which was puzzling.

You know, the person who stole the most attention at the Tiandao Conference was Ji You.

When he entered the Holy Land of the Ancient Sages, many people were talking about how he might enter Yingtian after he came out, but they never thought that he had not even entered Rongdao.

However, everyone only looked at it for a few moments, and then turned their gaze to the west, or to be precise, the southwest.

The unusual movements in the holy land of the sages have been going on for a long time. They are practicing enlightenment every day, so naturally they are aware of it.

"What kind of place is that, and why is there such an inexplicable aura?"

"Don't we have a map?"

"The map is not complete. It doesn't mark where the southwest direction is."

The map provided by the Sixianjian is indeed incomplete, with only about half of the area marked.

After thinking for a long time, Chai Ze said: "That should be the original ancestral land of our human race."

"Ancestral land?"

"The ancestral land carries the destiny of the human race and is sealed in the holy land of the sages. It is said that the origin of the way of heaven is here. Some years ago, someone spread the rumor that there is a legacy of the sages inside."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"I see……"

"This place is inherently fragile. Our location is relatively stable, but it is even more fragile further southwest. I think this is why its location is not marked on the map."

The reason why the holy land of the sages was sealed by the ancestors was because it was almost broken.

Before the alchemist used his alchemy to remedy the situation, the space in some places was even cut off. Chai Ze said that the southwest direction was even worse. If one was not careful, one would lose one's head and body. Even if one escaped, the power of the Heavenly Dao might shatter one's soul.

So this area is actually a restricted area for them.

Some people had indeed been imprisoned in the early years, but after the serious consequences occurred, fewer people wanted to do so.

Moreover, things like the origin of the Way of Heaven and the inheritance of sages are just rumors that have never been verified, which naturally discourages people.

For example, Chen Luo and Chen Xi, who had already obtained the position of direct disciple, had no need to take such a risk. Others also had to strive for safety and were not interested in such high-risk things.

Ji You looked at Chai Ze at this time and said softly: "Since this is the ancestral land of the human race, why did this aura suddenly become so inexplicable?"

Chai Ze looked at him and said, "That world is not stable to begin with, so perhaps this unusual movement is normal. I guess it's raining, thundering and lightning outside now."

"?"

"The power of origin originally connects the entire Qingyun world, but it was sealed by the ancient sages with great magic power. The laws here are in chaos, and the outside world will also be affected."

"With such a chilling wind, how can it be called a holy place?"

"Yin and Yang are the laws of nature. Everything in the world is like this. There is black and white, light and dark. Junior brother, you have not yet entered the Dao of Integration, so perhaps your understanding of this is not yet fully understood."

Hearing this, Ji You's mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly.

Damn, I’m looked down upon.

Chai Ze's tone was as if a vocational high school student accidentally sneaked into a party of college students and asked a question that seemed stupid to the college students.

After chatting for a while in the sea of ​​grass outside the forest, everyone dispersed and went home.

After all, for them, when they go out, they either have to inherit an immortal sect or be accepted by a family, so practicing Taoism is still the top priority.

Many of them are already at the breakthrough stage and will not be distracted by trivial matters and waste their time on them.

Only Ji You thought for a while, then walked towards the southwest and began to walk around.

The so-called ancestral land of the human race and the origin of the way of heaven are just vague concepts. Ji You does not know where they are exactly, but he is very curious about the evil thoughts that his divine sense has sensed.

For several days thereafter, the geniuses who had attained enlightenment in the holy land of sages could not help but frown frequently.

Just like what they felt before, there were more and more distracting thoughts in their minds, and their Tao hearts were no longer clear, but even began to become a little turbid.

Chai Ze has also reached a critical period in the Yingtian realm, but after a few days of enlightenment, he is full of hostility and is extremely violent.

To practice Taoism, one must eliminate the seven emotions and six desires, greed being one of them.

Before coming in, many people had the mentality of "I can stay as long as I can", but now they already felt something was wrong.

Especially some people who are in the process of breaking through, they feel that their Dao heart is becoming heavier and heavier.

The first person to leave here was Yan Shujing, a disciple of Xuanjian Peak. The way of the sword requires clarity and she knew she could not stay any longer.

The next to leave were the Chen family's twin disciples. Chen Luo had already broken through, and Chen Xi was also about to cross the threshold. If staying here would do more harm than good, it would no longer be a good choice for them.

Most of the people who stayed behind were not as powerful as them, and they didn't want to let go of the opportunity once they grabbed it.

But as time went by, they began to feel a little overwhelmed, especially when they discovered that their Taoism was not improving and their Taoism was becoming increasingly unfamiliar. They knew it was time to leave.

However, people will comfort themselves by thinking that even if they are not as good as the best, they can always be better than the worst.

For example, Ji You is the best placebo in their hearts.

Because even if they are stuck on the edge of breaking through, they can always break through after going out, which is much better than being the same when coming in and going out.

Before leaving, they had some communication with each other.

Because they hadn't seen Ji You for many days, they all judged that Ji You should have gone out. After all, since he couldn't break through, it would be useless even if he stayed close to Tiandao.

However, what they didn't know was that Ji You was already moving deeper and deeper towards the southwest.

From the sea of ​​grass to the mountains and forests and then back to the sea of ​​grass, he had now entered the vast wild forest. The towering trees were accompanied by thick fog, as if all were crowded together, and even his divine sense could not be released far away.

The evil thoughts he had felt earlier had subsided and could no longer be sensed.

At this time, Ji You stopped in a forest with lush trees and looked at a piece of green grass that was bent by trampled.

He was now certain that someone had come in before. He did not know what they had done specifically, but the aura of the Holy Land of Sages had become strange during that time.

So that creepy atmosphere should have appeared because of this.

The reason why Ji You cared so much about this breath was because he felt a familiar smell from it, which reminded him of when he was in Qiling.

A lot of things happened at the beginning, the ascending demon, the missing baby, but as the divine thunder shook the sky, it seemed as if everything came to an end, and there was no follow-up.

Everything was attributed to the Zheng family. Those who should be held accountable were held accountable, those who should be rewarded were rewarded, and then nothing happened again.

But in fact, that incident still left many unclear questions, such as where did the carriage that left the back mountain of Qiling go, and there was no news of it after that.

Ji You has always been very sensitive about this matter, so he followed it all the way here.

However, after searching here for several days, he found nothing at all.

He had heard people say before that there was the inheritance of sages and some kind of original power in the holy land, but no one had ever found it in all these years, which meant that the place was not easy to find.

Ji You was silent for a moment, then came out of the dense jungle and couldn't help but look outside.

At this time, the holy land of the sages still retained an aura of chaos, but after releasing his divine consciousness, he could no longer sense any living beings. It seemed that those geniuses had already gone out while he was searching the mountains and forests.

I hope it is just as Chai Ze said, the sudden change in aura is just the normal state of the Holy Land of Sages because it is too fragile.

I hope that someone just had selfish motives and found the so-called ancestral land, got the benefits and left quietly.

Ji You frowned slightly at this time, and suddenly felt a distracting thought rising.

He had been suppressing the connection between heaven and man before because he could not clear his conscience. Now that his divine consciousness has flown into the sky, the connection between heaven and man has been reconnected, and some opportunities can no longer be suppressed.

Ji You restrained his breath and walked towards the northeast. As the jade pendant on his waist flashed, he appeared in the valley where he came from.

At this time, there was a drizzle in the valley, mixed with rumbling thunder that kept surrounding my ears.
