Chapter 28: Three Heroes Gathering



As the world spun around, Chen Guanshui came to a cave.

Although this place is in the deep sea, the heavy sea water is separated by the huge hemispherical shield above the head.

The spherical shield glowed with a faint golden light, and countless tadpole patterns were flowing on it, just like a miniature sky barrier.

And within the sky barrier is an extremely spectacular and huge city consisting of tens of thousands of houses.

Chen Guanshui was amazed and said to Su Mingjian:

"That senior said that Yuting Sect was once at its peak, but I couldn't understand it before. Now I see it with my own eyes!"

"This huge city can accommodate millions of people." Su Mingjian said puzzledly, "No matter how prominent the Yuting Sect is, does it really have millions of cultivators?"

"Of course it's impossible." Chen Guanshui said with a smile, "Yuting Sect should have accommodated all the children and descendants of the sect's cultivators in this cave world."

"Those without talent will be commoners, reproducing and living in this world. Those with talent will be admitted into the sect after being found out. If the monks in the sect are compared to gods, then this cave is the 'kingdom of God on earth' of Yuting Sect!"

Su Mingjian was shocked and immediately understood the meaning of the so-called "kingdom of God on earth".

Even in Kunlun Shu Mountain today, although cultivators and mortals have not cut off contact, there is not much intersection overall.

For example, there are markets at the foot of the mountains near the peaks of Mount Shu. Although there are cultivators going there to buy things, most of them just leave after buying. What does this have to do with ordinary people?

However, based on Chen Guanshui's description, Su Mingjian quickly thought of the following scene:

In a city with a population of one million, there are a large number of civilians shoulder to shoulder, while a small number of monks are like princes and nobles, and are worshipped and offered sacrifices by those around them during their daily travels.

Every once in a while, a grand selection ceremony is held, where common people are asked to bring their children, and the sect's master is responsible for examining their talent for cultivation.

Those with talent join the sect, and the whole family is excited; those without talent are dejected and leave silently...

"It's really interesting." Su Mingjian commented.

"Do you feel that the cave structure of Yutingmen is very similar to a world we have experienced before?" Chen Guanshui suddenly became thoughtful.

"You mean, Jinchan Temple?" Su Mingjian reacted.

"Yes." Chen Guanshui nodded and said, "The sect needs civilians to produce resources, but they don't need to feed these civilians themselves. Isn't it better to let them be self-reliant outside the cave?"

"Could it be because the entrance to the Yuting Sect's cave world is located in the ocean, and civilians can't survive in the ocean?" Su Mingjian speculated, "If we live on the coast of Shenzhou, we have to go deep into the ocean to transport supplies, which is too difficult, so they just keep the civilians in the cave world?"

"Your statement is like going out to buy dumplings just because there is a dish of vinegar at home." Chen Guanshui laughed, "If this is inconvenient and that is inconvenient, why do you want to set up the cave in the ocean?"

"The only explanation is that Yuting Sect needs to keep its own sect base strictly confidential. It is so strict that in order to prevent civilians who come and go from the sect from leaking information, they would rather keep them in this cave."

"The sky barrier above our heads can even block magic calculations. I think it is also for the purpose of keeping it secret... There is no point in saying more. Let's go over and take a look."

"Hey, didn't Master Sword say that we came to this cave just to avoid disaster?" Su Mingjian said jokingly.

"That's right." Chen Guanshui laughed, "But the ruins here are so strange, how can we not find out more about them? What if there is some treasure inside?"

"Am I not the greatest treasure in the world?" Su Mingjian said angrily, "What treasure can compare to my number one divine sword in the world?"

"Okay, okay, then I'll just say I'm going there to kill time." Chen Guanshui changed his words skillfully, thinking that Ah Jing had already left, and Su Ming couldn't be angered and run away again.

Outside the cave, above the sea eye, Shi Liuli has already begun to set up the formation.

She had only just begun to learn the knowledge of formations and was not proficient in them, but fortunately, in order to coordinate with the arithmetic, she had mostly learned some exploratory formations, and now she could arrange them in a decent manner.

After checking the environment for a long time, there was still no result. Shi Liuli stood on the sea with a gloomy face. At first, he was still thinking silently about how to crack the entrance to the secret realm.

But somehow, when I thought about it, I started to think about how to torture Luo Yan and force him to tell the truth.

Recently, in order to forge the Earth Flying Sword, a cellar was dug underneath the Tiangong Workshop. After we catch that bastard, we can just lock him up in the basement.

Of course, this was not to torture or vent anger, but mainly to protect his safety.

After all, Kunlun Qiongying and Shushan Jiangxiao are not good people. If they knew that he had multiple wives and played tricks on time management, they would definitely not be as easy to talk to as I am... Most likely they would cut him into pieces.

Lock him up in the cellar. As long as we can keep it secret from the sect, there is no need to worry about his whereabouts being leaked to the outside.

Of course, there may be more than just Qiongying and Jiangxiao involved. There may be other fairies, demons, and the like. We have to ask them in detail and be on guard against them as well.

If my husband refuses to tell the truth, then as his wife I can only use some means, after all, this is all for his own good.

If those evil men come to my house, how can I protect my husband with my humble and weak strength? That's why I can only let my husband live in the cellar temporarily and protect him. I think he will not blame me...

Shi Liuli was just thinking about this when he suddenly saw An Zhisu's sword flash coming from a distance and said:

"This is the ruins of the ancient Yuting Sect's cave. I think the Jingyun you are looking for has gone to the Yuting Sect."

"Yuting Sect?" Shi Liuli searched his memory for a moment, making sure that he had never heard of it.

"Yes, it is a sect from a long, long time ago." An Zhisu emphasized, "and its tradition has long been cut off."

Both of these sentences are nonsense.

Since it was in ancient times, it must have been a long, long time ago; if the orthodox tradition had not been cut off, it would not be unknown now.

Shi Liuli was impatient, knowing that Jiang Xiao was too honest and straightforward. He said whatever he thought without considering the effectiveness and simplicity of information communication, so he said:

"Where did you hear this? How reliable is the information?"

"This is what one of my senior teachers said, how can it be false?" An Zhisu said unhappily.

Senior master? Shi Liuli calculated silently in his mind.

She quickly recalled the speed of An Zhisu's sword light and the length of time it had been away, and then calculated the approximate distance range. She realized that the senior master could not be in Shushan, or even in Shenzhou, but was also in the depths of the South China Sea.

Living on an island?

After secretly noting down this information, Shi Liuli asked again:

"Then did the senior tell us how to enter the secret realm of the Yuting Sect?"

"Because the time is too long ago, Senior is not very sure." An Zhisu shook his head and said, "But I heard that there is a rift valley deep in the sea."

"In the past, when the monks of Yuting Sect returned here, they would dive into the seabed and enter the rift valley...so the entrance to the secret realm must be inside without a doubt."

If Chen Guanshui were here, he would definitely scold the old man in black for being dishonest, not only hiding the information from him, but also revealing it all when he met An Zhisu.

Little did he know that the old man in black had already disliked Ling Yunpo before. He was a capricious person who was quick to react and paid attention to appearance. Although he did not connect Chen Guanshui with Ling Yunpo, he still had some instinct to dislike him, so naturally he was too lazy to say more to him.

"Rift Valley..." Shi Liuli also reacted.

There is no spiritual energy nearby, and the spiritual vein extends to a rift somewhere on the seabed, as if it was cut off by a knife. Perhaps it is nearby.

Well, that's not right. The traces of spiritual energy being cut off are so obvious. If I were the headmaster of Yuting Sect, I would definitely not set the entrance there, otherwise it would attract attention.

But if it is set up somewhere else in the rift, it is possible.

After all, the water pressure in this deep seabed is too great. Not to mention vegetation, there is not even a single fish. There is only fine sand and mud everywhere, and it is difficult for the monks of our sect to tell the direction.

Only the rift valley has a clear terrain undulation, which can be used to hide the entrance...

Thinking of this, she quickly cast another divination to verify her judgment.

"What do you mean?" An Zhisu asked curiously.

Shi Liuli glanced at her and began to think of a countermeasure.

If there is danger in the secret realm of Yutingmen, we can bring Jiang Xiao with us and use her martial arts skills.

But if there is no danger, then I have to find a way to get rid of that bastard before I find him.

Otherwise, if she meets that bastard, she will definitely not give up.

Fortunately, I know it in secret but she knows it in the open. She doesn't even know that the bastard is the same person as the Taiyin Sword Master. I might be able to use this to create an information gap later...

"What exactly do you want to say?" An Zhisu urged.

"It's hard to say." Shi Liuli shook his head, "I'll go down and take a look first."

Seeing that she was playing tricks again, An Zhisu felt unhappy.

Although she didn't know that Shi Liuli was her love rival, Senior Sister An, as a person who speaks her mind, of course prefers the straightforward character of someone who speaks his mind as well.

She was displeased with Shi Liuli's style of having something to say, hiding something, and leaving the rest for you to think about. She wanted to put a sword on his neck and force him to answer whatever she asked, and let him blurt out everything in one breath. Only then would she be satisfied!

If not... if not to find my junior fellow apprentice, why would I be willing to deal with such a person?

Thinking of Ling Yunpo, she forced herself to suppress the annoyance in her heart. Just as she was about to follow him silently, she suddenly heard a long cry in the distance.

Turning around, he saw a fairy in white riding a sword. It was Elder Qiongying of Kunlun, also known as the Phoenix Fairy.

"You are..." An Zhisu asked with a frown, feeling subconsciously uncomfortable in her heart, although she couldn't tell why.

"Kunlun Qiongying." Xu Yinglian simply bowed, "Meetings, Elder Jiangxiao of Shushan."

Yeah, I have indeed seen it.

An Zhisu returned the greeting coldly and was about to turn around to look for Shi Liuli when he heard Xu Yinglian ask again:

"What's the matter with Jiang Xiao here?"

An Zhisu subconsciously wanted to say "What does it have to do with you?", but he felt that was too aggressive. After all, Qiongying did not show any malice, so he suppressed his emotions and replied:

"I'm looking for someone."

"Oh, what a coincidence." Xu Yinglian said with a polite smile, "I am also looking for someone, but it is the elder Dongyou from the Yuqing Temple in Penglai. May I ask if Jiang Xiao has ever seen him?"

Hearing that they were looking for Shi Liuli, An Zhisu felt relieved for some reason and replied subconsciously:

"She is at the bottom of the sea. I am going to look for her... But if you want to find her for something, you have to wait until I finish my business here."

"That's fine." Xu Yinglian thought to himself that after all, it was first come first served, so it was okay to wait.

However, since Dong You did not tell me the truth before, why is he willing to help you, Jiang Xiao, find someone?

We are both looking for someone, why do you favor one over the other? If I hadn't come to Penglai again and happened to see you leaving Yuqing Temple, I wouldn't even know about this!

It is said that Jiang Xiao is simple-minded and outspoken. Before meeting Dong You, I'd better test him first.

An Zhisu flew his sword into the seabed, and Xu Yinglian followed closely behind him, asking casually as if he hadn't noticed:

"Who is Jiang Xiao looking for? Is it the Taiyin Sword Master?"

"Exactly."

"It's really strange that the Taiyin Sword Master disappeared suddenly." Xu Yinglian nodded. "I've always heard that Dongyou has the ability to predict the future. If we can find the Taiyin Sword Master, it will be a good thing for Shushan."

She said polite words, but An Zhisu felt uncomfortable listening to them.

Although Shushan announced to the outside world that it was the Taiyin Sword Master who had been away from the sect for a long time and hoped that fellow practitioners could provide clues, in fact it was Lingyun who broke into the sect... An Zhisu felt uncomfortable and painful when he thought about this. He didn't want to explain any more to Xu Yinglian, nor did he want to agree with him.

Seeing An Zhisu remained silent, Xu Yinglian realized that he had stepped on a landmine, so he kept silent and continued to follow her.
