"Fellow Daoist Yan, I can swear on my Daoxin that the 'Lightning-Proof Jade Order' was not given to Zuo Shun by me!" Great Monk Pan Xiao said to Great Monk Yan Gao, pointing his finger to the sky.
He swore by heaven. If it were a great monk from other sects, it would still be very convincing.
For cultivators, the heart of Tao is the foundation of cultivation. Once the heart of Tao is damaged, the path of cultivation will be interrupted.
"Pan Xiao, is your oath credible?" asked Master Yan Gao indifferently.
His question made Master Pan Xiao startled, but he soon reacted.
The Yanri Sect is a demon sect, and the great monk Pan Xiao is a demon cultivator. Demon cultivators are a minority of cultivators who do not attach much importance to the heart of Tao.
"Fellow Daoist Yan, please wait for a moment. I need some time to investigate the matter of the 'Lightning-Proof Jade Order'!" At this time, the great monk Barun spoke.
The most nervous person at this moment was Mu Jing, who was at a node in the mountain gate formation.
He knew where the 'Thunderproof Jade Order' came from, as he had handed it to Zuo Shun personally.
However, he did not dare to tell the truth. Looking at the tragic situation of the Yanri Sect, although not many cultivators had died, the damage suffered by the mountain gate formation and the loss of the Yanri Sect's reputation were extremely serious.
Especially the loss of reputation of Yanri Sect and the fact that the mountain gate was almost broken was a huge blow to Yanri Sect. The prestige that Yanri Sect had built up over ten thousand years was destroyed, and it would take many years to make up for it in the future.
Mu Jing thought of the sect's methods. The Demon Sect's methods of torturing traitors were so cruel that his scalp tingled just thinking about it.
He wanted to conceal it, but in order to sell the 'Lightning-Proof Jade Order' at a high price, he leaked the news.
Great Monk Barun issued the order, and with all the Nascent Soul monks in the sect present, the matter was quickly investigated.
The 'Thunderproof Jade Token' was obtained from Mu Jing, and was not given to Zuo Shun by the great monk Pan Xiao.
The corners of Master Barun's mouth twitched. He hated Mu Jing almost to the extreme.
He waved his hand, and Mu Jing, who was at the node of the formation, was caught by his spiritual sense.
Mu Jing wanted to struggle in panic, but how could he struggle facing the suppressing aura of Great Monk Barun?
"Fellow Daoist Yan, the 'Thunderproof Jade Token' on Zuo Shun was obtained from Mu Jing. If you want to know about the 'Thunderproof Jade Token', just ask Mu Jing!" Great Monk Barun resisted the urge to strangle Mu Jing to death and said to Great Monk Yan Gao.
"Will the Yanri Sect use a disabled person to take over?" Great monk Yan Gao glanced at Mu Jing and said lightly.
Although Mu Jing sold the 'Lightning-Proof Jade Token', due to the short time, he only exchanged the resources for some fourth-grade elixirs, and has not yet invited a master alchemist to refine elixirs for him.
So Mu Jing is still missing his left leg, which makes him a cripple.
"Fellow Daoist Yan, I will hand Mu Jing over to you. You can use the soul-searching method to interrogate him and then you will know whether I am lying or not!" Great Monk Barun really didn't want to go on, he said in a deep voice.
His words made all the great cultivators present at the scene stunned. Perhaps only the Demon Sect could do such a thing, handing over their own Nascent Soul cultivators to cultivators from other sects for soul searching.
Soul searching is not as simple as checking the information from the soul. It will greatly consume the soul energy of the recipient. After a soul search, there is a high chance that the recipient will become a fool. The rest of the results are even worse, that is, direct death.
After Great Monk Barun finished speaking, he threw Mu Jing to Great Monk Yan Gao.
Master Yan Gao did not hesitate. The Baidi Sect did not consider itself a righteous sect and acted as it pleased.
He put his hand on Mu Jing's head and ignored Mu Jing's pleading look.
Mu Jing, who had been under the suppression of the great monk, didn't even have the ability to scream, let alone struggle. The only thing that could express his thoughts was his eyes.
As the great monk Yan Gao cast the soul-searching spell, Mu Jing's eyes instantly turned blood red.
Despair began to appear in Mu Jing's eyes, and he soon fell into confusion. His memories were being forcibly read by the great monk Yan Gao.
Blood was flowing from his ears, nose and mouth, which was an extremely horrific description.
Mu Jing was lucky and unfortunate. He survived and did not die on the spot after undergoing the soul-searching spell.
His eyes were lifeless, his soul was disturbed, and he became a living dead.
"Indeed, the 'Thunderproof Jade Token' was obtained by Mu Jing, but it was found outside the mountain gate of the Yanri Sect. We need to enter the cave of the Yanri Sect to investigate before we can make sure that this matter has nothing to do with the Yanri Sect!" After exchanging opinions with the great monk Wang He, the great monk Yan Gao nodded to the great monk Barun.
Great Monk Barun had a gloomy expression on his face. He glanced at the great monks from the other three major sects and found that these great monks had no intention of interfering.
The great monks from the three major sects came here to solve the problem. As long as they ensured that the Yanri Sect was not destroyed, they would have fulfilled the original contract.
As for allowing Great Monk Yan Gao and Great Monk Wang He to enter the cave of Yanri Sect to investigate, this was an extreme act of humiliating Yanri Sect, but they did not express their opinions.
What they need to see is the problem solved, but they don't want to ask about the method of solving the problem.
Anyway, it's not a slap in the face to the three major sects. The Yanri Sect has been making too much trouble in recent years. Being slapped in the face will allow the Yanri Sect to be quiet for a few years.
"Okay, but please keep what you saw confidential!" Great Monk Barun also discussed with the great monks of the sect, and finally said helplessly.
With the witnesses of the three major sects, there is no need to worry that Great Monk Yan Gao and Great Monk Wang He will take the opportunity of entering the sect to kill people in the Yanri Sect.
Great Monk Barun brought Great Monk Yan Gao and Great Monk Wang He into the mountain gate of Yanri Sect, and brought them out not long after.
Great Monk Yan Gao and Great Monk Wang He looked unhappy. They respectively used their secret methods to sense the aura of the inheritance of the magical power 'Invisible Yuan Magnetism' and the 'Shenxiao Thunder Pearl'.
In their guess, these two treasures would only be blocked in the cave.
They had explored all the caves of the Yanri Sect, but did not sense any aura.
This ended their clues, and this was also the clue that had the best chance of leading to the truth.
"The Yanri Sect needs to cooperate with our investigation. The 'Thunderproof Jade Order' appeared outside the Yanri Sect's mountain gate, which is also the Yanri Sect's sphere of influence!" Master Yan Gao said finally.
Even though the great monks of the Yanri Sect felt ashamed and were attacked and their homes were searched, they still had to help the other party in the end.
But who can blame the opponent's strength? As long as there is no threat to the safety of the sect, the great monks of the Yanri Sect are still ready to cooperate.
In addition, although the three major sects did not take action, the Yanri Sect must remember this favor.
A conflict that had great potential to develop into a major event in the Dongqi continent ended in this way.
But the influence of this incident did not end there. Because of this incident, the Yanri Sect fell to the bottom of the four local sects and lost opportunities in the competition for many resources.
The Yanri Sect needed a long time to lick its wounds in silence. They couldn't even take revenge. Neither the Yuqing Sect nor the Baidi Sect were capable of dealing with them alone.
Instead, they stepped up their investigation and used all their strength to investigate the matter of the 'Thunderproof Jade Order'.
They couldn't afford to offend Yuqing Sect and Baidi Sect, but they could afford to offend the cultivator who placed the "Thunderproof Jade Order" outside the mountain gate of Yanri Sect.
It's a pity that this was done by the Phantom Dragon. With the Phantom Dragon's innate ability, because there was no battle, the Phantom Dragon didn't even leave any breath at the scene, and acted in stealth throughout the whole process.
Li Shiming stayed quietly in the Wanshou Sect. He felt regretful in his heart. It would be a happy thing if the mountain gate of the Yanri Sect was breached.
When Yue Shan learned at that time that the 'Thunderproof Jade Token' was actually obtained by Mu Jing, he couldn't help but shake his head for Mu Jing's bad luck.
He really didn't want to harm Mu Jing. If any monk from Yanri Sect found the 'Thunderproof Jade Order' and brought it into Yanri Sect, his goal would be achieved.
He didn't expect that the person who got the 'Thunder Avoidance Jade Order' was actually his enemy Mu Jing. Since Mu Jing had been hiding in the Yanri Sect, he had no way to find Mu Jing even if he wanted to. He took this opportunity to take revenge.
The last news about Mu Jing was that although he became a living dead, the Yanri Sect did not let him go and imprisoned him. It was unknown how they tortured him.
Just think about the methods used by the Demon Sect. They will probably use every possible means to deal with the cultivators they hate.
The investigations conducted by Great Monk Yan Gao and Great Monk Wang He in the Dongqi Continent became more and more high-profile. Among the four major sects, the Lotus Temple was not spared and was also invited to participate in the investigation.
In order to save face for the Yuqing Sect and the Baidi Sect, some cross-continental forces in the Dongqi Continent also joined the investigation.
Unfortunately, no matter how they investigated, they could not find out the truth about why the "Thunderproof Jade Order" appeared outside the mountain gate of the Yanri Sect.
You have to know that so many forces were mobilized, especially the full-scale investigation of the Yanri Sect, and every cultivator who appeared outside the Yanri Sect that day was tracked down.
These monks were all interrogated. Although soul-searching was not used, they were still questioned using secret methods. They were released only after it was confirmed that they had nothing to do with the 'Lightning-Avoiding Jade Order'.
After a year of investigation, Great Monk Yan Gao and Great Monk Wang He thanked the forces involved in the investigation and quietly left the Dongqi Continent.
They couldn't keep wasting time on the Dongqi Continent. They had tried their best to investigate, but there had been no progress for such a long time. The longer time went by, the less likely they would be to achieve results.
They could only give up. Of course, this giving up did not mean that they would no longer investigate the deaths of Wang Yuan, Song Yu, and the other seven Baidi Sect's early Nascent Soul cultivators, but that other cultivators would come.
We cannot leave the two great monks in Dongqi Continent. They are extremely important monks even in Yuqing Sect and Baidi Sect.
Li Shiming breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the news that Great Monk Yan Gao and Great Monk Wang He had left, especially Great Monk Wang He had left the Dongqi Continent.
He spent the entire year in seclusion in the cave of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, and even the collection of elixirs and magic pills was done by the Heavenly Ghost controlling the living dead.
However, he had been coveting the 'Purple Thunder Plasma', a treasure for thunder cultivation, next to him but had not used it yet. He was anxious in his heart.
You should know that his cultivation progress is extremely slow. At this speed, it will probably take him several decades to reach the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage.
This is because he has been producing fourth-grade spiritual pills to assist his cultivation, and their quality is all at the advanced fourth-grade level.
Li Shiming's cultivation speed is slow, which is what he thinks. His cultivation speed is already unimaginable for other early Nascent Soul cultivators.
In addition, he did not even look at the cultivation experience left by Wang Yuan. He was almost extremely cautious.
You can't blame him for being too cautious, but the trouble he faced this time was far greater than before.
The more he knew about Yuqing Sect and Baidi Sect, the more cautious he became, as these two super powers had powerful people.
In fact, what Li Shiming coveted more was the magical power of "Invisible Elemental Magnetism".
The magical power of 'Invisible Elemental Magnetism' is too overbearing. It is almost the nemesis of sword cultivators and makes most cultivators' magic weapons ineffective.
The inheritance of the magical power of 'Invisible Elemental Magnetism' is in his hands, and he is waiting for the right opportunity to accept the inheritance of the magical power of 'Invisible Elemental Magnetism'.
After waiting for more than a year, after the two great monks from Yuqing Sect and Baidi Sect left, he felt that the time had come.
He did not take the stone ring out of the machine room space. The Earth Mine Yuanying flew out from above his head and was then sent into the machine room space by him.
Tu Lei Yuanying held the stone ring in his hand and his consciousness entered the stone ring.
Although it was Tu Lei Yuanying's consciousness that entered the stone circle, in order to deal with unexpected situations, he mobilized almost all of his idle brain to be ready to deal with any unexpected situation at any time.
The reason for choosing the Earth Thunder Yuanying is because the 'Invisible Yuanci' magical power is an earth-related magical power, which is consistent with the properties of the Earth Thunder Yuanying.
His consciousness entered the stone circle and he immediately sensed countless lines that were changing in a regular pattern.
These lines want to accept the test of the "invisible primordial magnetism" magical power. Only by finding out the pattern of the lines can they further accept new tests.
When a normal monk encounters this test, what he needs to do is to memorize each line one by one, and then track the trajectory of each line and summarize the movement route in his mind.
Once you have recorded all the movement routes of the lines in your mind, you can get the movement patterns of the lines.
This test may seem simple, but it is actually a test of the monk's spirit. Without an extremely strong spirit and ultimate control over the spirit, it is impossible to use the spirit to record huge amounts of data and analyze and study them.
Even if one's spirit is strong enough and meets other conditions, it will still take an extremely long time to pass this test.
The fastest cultivator of the Baidi Sect who passed the first test took a full thirty years, and the slowest one among the others took hundreds of years.
But this test was extremely easy for Li Shiming.
My natal magic weapon IBMz15 not only recorded and analyzed the movement of the lines, but also found the formula for the movement of the lines, which is a deeper level than summarizing the rules, and it only took 135 hours.
