As one of the most outstanding disciples of Jinhua Dong Yuantian in contemporary times, Jiang Yan was once invited to the Zhenlong small world to participate in the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower trial.

Before heading to the Zhenlong small world, Jiang Yan was warned by the Jiang family's ancestor, who was the Dongtian Daojun, not to dream of becoming the master of the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower in one step.

The Xuanhuang Linglong Tower had long been regarded as a treasure in the pocket by a great celestial being from the upper realm. The reason why he stayed in the Xuanhuang Realm was just to use the trials of the creatures in the Xuanhuang Realm to hone the treasure in order to seek an opportunity to break through and obtain the treasure that would open the realm.

All the blessed places knew about this. That great celestial being also had deals with the Taoist sects behind all the blessed places and tacitly approved of his actions.

Therefore, even though the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower is a precious, top-grade immortal weapon, its trial has not received much attention, and only a small number of geniuses will participate in each session.

The ancestor's words dispelled Jiang Yan's original idea of ​​trying to fight for the treasure, and he just regarded this trial as a formality.

Who would have thought that in this trial, someone actually climbed to the top and gained the recognition of the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower.

The person who reached the top was not even the descendant of a blessed land, but was from an unknown Luoyun Sect, which caused a sensation in the entire Zhenlong small world.

What is even more surprising is that the peerless genius did not choose to become the host of the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower, but took the initiative to give up this treasure of the Xuanhuang Realm.

In order to obtain the secret of climbing to the top of Xuanhuang Linglong Tower, Yu Changming, the great elder who passed on the Dharma and had a certain degree of enlightenment, personally went out to try to capture the trial-taker alive.

Finally, a world-shocking battle broke out between the two sides in front of the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda. As a bystander, Jiang Yan witnessed with his own eyes how Shen Yuan, who was only at the Qi Refining Stage, used the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda to kill the great elder Yu Changming who was spreading the Dharma.

After that battle, Shen Yuan's whereabouts were unknown, but the name of Taoist Luo Yun spread throughout the entire Xuanhuang Realm, and was as famous as the other genius saints of the ten major cave heavens.

Countless powerful people wanted to know the secrets of Taoist Luo Yun. Xiao Youqingxu Zhitian even sent a true immortal to the Liangjie Mountain to open the Ten Realms Soul-Chasing Altar in an attempt to find the whereabouts of Taoist Luo Yun, on the pretext that Taoist Luo Yun had killed the great elder who passed on the Dharma.

The Ten Realms Soul-Chasing Ritual lasted for a full year, during which time a huge amount of resources from the Qingxu Heaven were consumed, but the whereabouts of Taoist Luo Yun were still not found.

During this period, Xiaoyou Qingxu Zhitian, who had not found any trace of Taoist Luoyun for a long time, tried to find another way.

Many True Lords and Dao Lords in the sect searched through ancient books, trying to find traces of the Luoyun Sect in order to confirm the identity of Daozi Luoyun.

You wouldn't know until you look for it, but once you look for it, everyone will be shocked.

Many True Lords and Dao Lords found several records that were suspected to be from the Luoyun Sect from ancient Taoist scriptures and Dharma lineage inheritance.

Most of the information on it is missing and vague, but just from the few words that remain, many True Lords suspect that the Luoyun Sect behind Luoyun Taoist is a hidden branch of Taoism, and its size may not be inferior to the ten major sacred places of cave heaven.

The failure of the Ten Realms Soul-Chasing Altar further confirmed this speculation.

Many True Lords and Dao Lords within Xiaoyou Qingxu Heaven took this opportunity to express their opposition to the search for Taoist Luo Yun.

If Daozi Luoyun was just an ordinary genius cultivator, he would have to pay a huge price for offending Xiaoyouqingxutian.

But if there is also a holy land behind Taoist Luo Yun, then he would be qualified to have a dialogue with Xiao Youqingxu and Tian Ping.

Yu Changming crossed the border and descended into the Zhenlong small world but was killed in return. This matter was not reasonable in the first place. If it is further investigated, it is likely to trigger a war between the holy places of Dongtian.

It's not worth it just for Yu Changming who broke the rules.

Xiao You Qingxu Zhitian removed the Ten Realms Soul-Chasing Altar. The whole incident made Xiao You Qingxu Zhitian a laughing stock in the entire cultivation world. Even the throne of the First Cave Heaven Holy Land, which was already unstable, showed signs of falling.

After this incident, the entire upper echelons of the cultivation world all knew the name of Taoist Luo Yun.

Taoist Luo Yun had been missing for three years, and Jiang Yan had never thought that he would meet this legendary Taoist here, which made him secretly excited.

But in just the next second, the excitement in Jiang Yan's heart instantly turned into fear, and his soul and true spirit were trembling at this moment.

Because the ancient bronze sword in Taoist Luo Yun's hand, which had killed True Lord Lianxu, was now pointing at him.

The golden robes on his body revealed hundreds of golden spells engraved on them. The Golden Sun Mirror immediately appeared in front of him, and the red sun bred inside it seemed as if it was about to descend into the world.

But even with layers of treasure protection, Jiang Yan still couldn't feel the slightest sense of security in his heart. The sharp sword intent seemed to have penetrated the protection and pierced into his skin.

The treasure-hunting rat in Jiang Yan's arms no longer trembled, but began to pretend to be dead like a stiff corpse.

Sweating profusely, Jiang Yan was about to explain, but the Taoist Luo Yun in the courtyard suddenly put down the Huiming Sword in his hand.

"Do you know me?"

Shen Yuan asked in a calm voice.

The terrifying sense of crisis disappeared instantly. Jiang Yan couldn't help licking his dry lips and replied in a trembling voice:

"Three years ago, in the Zhenlong Small World, I had the honor of seeing Daozi beheading True Lord Yu Changming."

The huge image of the Yang God and the body of the god in the sky were slowly collapsing, and the will of the God of Incense had already been annihilated by the sword.

When the seven city lords who were present heard Jiang Yan's words, they suddenly looked at Shen Yuan as if they had just woken up from a dream, their eyes filled with incomprehensible fear.

As a disciple of Jinhua Dongyuan Tianzhen, Jiang Yan could not lie in such an environment. This meant that the other party had really killed Lianxu Zhenjun.

All the information about Taoist Luo Yun flashed through everyone's mind, and the many God Transformation City Lords present broke out in a sweat.

Shen Yuan glanced at the many cultivators present and asked in a cold voice:

"What is your purpose in coming here?"

Several city lords of Huashen looked at each other and did not dare to speak in reply.

The man in front of him was a peerless ruthless man who had killed Master Lianshen with one sword and had even killed Master Lianxu. If he really knew that they came to seize the rare treasure of time, he might have killed them all in a rage.

Time fell into a brief moment of opportunity, and invisible pressure spread in everyone's heart.

At this moment, Jiang Yan gritted his teeth and took the initiative to speak:

“A few days ago, a large-scale space-time phenomenon broke out in the outer layer of Luoyu City. Some people believe that this is a sign of the birth of a rare treasure.

After practitioners from several surrounding cities went to search in vain, they accidentally found traces of Lord Daozi and believed that the time treasure was in Daozi's hands.

This Huayu Mountain God, who was proud of his origin as a member of the Donghuang God system, used the sixth-level Poxu Talisman to break the formation set up by Daozi and forcefully attacked, trying to snatch the Time Treasure. "

Speaking of this, Jiang Yan couldn't help but feel a ripple in his heart.

Everyone present had seen the scene where time went back and the entire courtyard returned to its original state. Shen Yuan was able to display such miraculous power in such a short time, proving that the value of that time treasure might even exceed original expectations.

This time-related treasure is most likely a treasure at the Taoist level, enough to arouse the greed of a true immortal.

"Do you want to use the communication talisman?"

But after a little thought, Jiang Yan immediately dispelled the thought in his mind.

None of the righteous gods of the Donghuang pantheon could withstand a single sword strike before the Supreme Taoist. The outer sect elders who were also at the Spirit Refining Realm would have met the same fate. This was no different from seeking one's own death.

After figuring out the cause and effect of the matter, Shen Yuan couldn't help but feel speechless.

The time and space turbulence he created when crossing time and space was actually considered as a sign of a rare treasure, which even interrupted his original practice. Just when he found a chance to recover his chaotic mana, he was forcibly interrupted by Huayu Mountain God. Shen Yuan was so angry that he drew his sword and killed him.

Looking at the Yangshen Dharma image disappearing in the sky, Shen Yuan's depression was relieved a lot.

After sweeping a hostile look at the many cultivators present, Shen Yuan thought for a moment and then retracted the Huiming Sword in his hand.

With his strength, it would not be difficult to kill the numerous monks present, but once he started killing people in large numbers, the situation would change completely.

If Shen Yuan killed someone like Huayu Mountain God who took the initiative to provoke a fight, no one would say anything.

Although the other monks harbored malicious intentions, they ultimately did not take action.

If Shen Yuan were to kill them all, hundreds of cultivators with high cultivation levels would die at once, and the death would be enough to shock the entire cultivation world.

After all, the Xuanhuang Realm is still dominated by the righteous path represented by the Dongtian Paradise. Large-scale killings are strictly prohibited in the city. Once discovered, the perpetrators will be sent to the evil path and besieged by various sects.

Unless someone can massacre the entire city and block the news, there will be no escape.

And once the news of the massacre of a city is exposed, it will not only attract the paradise, but also the Humane Dynasty will personally take action, and there will be no place for them in Dayin.

Naturally, Shen Yuan would not stand against the paradise and the humane dynasty.

With a slight lift of his right index finger, wisps of Yuan Qi silently merged into the bodies of the seven leading city lords.

The seven high and mighty city lords of Huashen were horrified to find that they could not sense the existence of Yuanqi, as if the omnipresent Yuanqi rejected them.

"Give him a little punishment, and the seal of Yuan Qi will be lifted automatically after ten years."

"Now, you can go away!"

When Shen Yuan's calm words rang out, many cultivators present were shocked and quickly turned around and left.

Even the seven city lords who had sealed off their Yuan Qi perception did not dare to stay for long. They all bowed and took their leave, and the entire city was immediately cleared.

Since his tracks had been exposed, Shen Yuan had no intention of staying any longer.

The news of the so-called time treasure has already spread. Even if I deny it, no one will believe it, and troubles will surely follow.

Besides, he had offended Xiao Youqingxu Zhitian before, and if the other party knew his whereabouts, he might do something to him. It would be better for him to leave early and find a secluded place to practice with concentration.

At present, the sorting out of the disordered magic power has only achieved slight results and has not been completely stabilized, not to mention that it will take time to break through the Yang Shen realm after the cultivation level is restored.

Just as he was about to use his magical powers to leave, Jiang Yan, who had not left, suddenly spoke:

"Please stay, Taoist Luoyun!"

Shen Yuan turned his gaze to Jiang Yan, and Jiang Yan's heart was suddenly startled. The treasure-hunting rat in his arms, which had originally recovered, stiffened again and pretended to be dead.

However, Shen Yuan did not make a move, but said coldly:

"Since you took the initiative to confess before, I will give you a chance to speak."

Jiang Yan suddenly felt relieved.

He dared to take the initiative to talk to Shen Yuan under such circumstances because he had seen the two lucky people who had interacted with Shen Yuan with his own eyes and knew that Shen Yuan was not a bloodthirsty person.

Now it seems that the news coming from the Zhenlong small world is not false.

With a smile on his face, Jiang Yan said respectfully:

"Daozi Luo Yun has not appeared in the world for three years, so it is possible that he is not aware of some of the things that happened in the past three years.

Three years ago, after the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower trial ended, Xiao Youqingxu Zhitian once set up the Ten Realms Soul Chasing Altar to search for Daozi's whereabouts, but in the end, after consuming a lot of resources and finding nothing, he gave up on tracking down Daozi. "

"Of course, this is just Xiao Youqingxu Zhitian's attitude on the surface. He may have other plans in secret, so please be careful."

Jiang Yan's words made Shen Yuan's expression ease a little. The other party took the initiative to provide information, which made him feel a little favorable.

As for the fruitless search for the Ten Realms Soul-Chasing Altar, Shen Yuan had a general idea of ​​the reason.

I have traveled through thousands of years and returned to the afterlife, so it would be strange if I could find a mere altar.

Jiang Yan saw the change in Shen Yuan's expression and spoke again:

"Except for the small Qingxu Heaven, please be careful with the Donghuang God System.

Daozi killed one of the other side's gods, so he must have been targeted by the Donghuang God System. Plus, the time treasure was extremely precious, so it was very likely that a strong man from the Donghuang God System would take action.

However, as long as you leave the Donghuang Territory, you don't have to worry about the other party.

The incense gods of the Donghuang pantheon can exert their full strength within the Donghuang domain, but once they leave the Donghuang domain, they will be within the range covered by the incense of Dayin, and their own strength will be greatly weakened.

Moreover, the Humane Dynasty will not allow a deity to travel to other states at will."

Jiang Yan's sincere words made Shen Yuan raise his eyebrows slightly, and he couldn't help asking: "What is your purpose?"

Jiang Yan smiled softly, with a very free and easy attitude.

"I just want to establish a good relationship with Daozi."

He bowed to Shen Yuan, then turned into a beam of light and sped away into the distance.

Shen Yuan watched Jiang Yan's departing back, used his fingertips to draw a space channel in front of him, and then strode into it.

Shen Yuan's departure meant that the chaos brought to Huayu County had come to a temporary end.

But outside Huayu County, the impact has just begun.

In the core area of ​​Donghuang Territory, a magnificent temple carved out of the mountains reaches into the sky. This place is the most important foundation of the Donghuang pantheon, the Donghuang Temple where all the gods gather.

A strange guest arrived in front of this magnificent Donghuang Temple.

The other person was covered in a black robe and, under the guidance of a divine servant, stepped into a side hall of the Temple of the Mountains.

Although it is a side hall, its interior is still extremely vast, as if it can accommodate a secret place.

On the main seat in the side hall, a stone giant a thousand feet tall looked down at the tiny man in black robe. As he spoke, the earth shook and the mountains trembled.

"Ignorant man, explain your origins!"

The man in black robe slowly took off his hood, revealing a young face and a head of completely mismatched white hair.

"I am Yu Ke, the little one of Qingxu Heaven, and I pay my respects to the Great Mountain God!"
