The room is full of splendor and wealth.
Li Chengru felt so out of place in the situation. He took the business card and glanced at it casually. The indifference on his face froze. He was no longer in disbelief and read it again from the beginning.
"this……"
His eyes were wide open, his hands were shaking, and his chest was filled with fear. He wanted to say something, but his mind was shaking and it was difficult for him to organize his words.
"Look how angry Master Li is. He's starting to curse."
The crowd had not yet realized the seriousness of the problem and were talking and laughing in a very non-serious manner.
"Asshole!"
Li Chengru was shocked. The more glorious and carefree he was just now, the more frightened he was now.
He cursed loudly, and everyone thought he was cursing Mr. Chen. He smiled, but the criticism was turned against him and he was scolded: "Asshole! You are all assholes!"
He and Mr. Chen did have some conflicts regarding the Jingxiao Chamber of Commerce, but that was unimportant.
However, he was involved in the Tian family's conspiracy and became one of the leaders.
Before, he was very proud and happy to be able to participate and get a piece of the pie.
Looking at it now, I feel like crying but I have no tears.
He sent people to Hongxian Building to lobby under the name of Li Chengru. Now he wants to deny it, but he can't, he has been nailed down.
Everyone in the room was stunned by the scolding.
Even if Li Chengru was irritated, he should blame the culprit. What does it have to do with them?
"Let me see!"
The head of the Tian family sensed something was wrong and took the business card from Li Chengru.
“Oh no!”
After reading it once, his face turned pale. This time he had gone too far and was forcing the Tian family to death.
He made the biggest mistake ever.
The price is that the entire Tian family is about to fall into the abyss.
The more he thought about it, the paler his face became, and he couldn't even maintain the most basic expression control.
The two people in charge were in a state of confusion one after another. Everyone knew that things were not going to be simple, and they rushed forward impatiently to read the contents of the name card.
"An elder from the outer sect of the Guangxiu Immortal Sect, in charge of the Medicine House, a second-class alchemist, with a respected status..."
quiet.
Dead silence.
Everyone who had read the business card felt a chill all over their body, as if they had hit a wall that could not be provoked.
The outer sect elder of Guangxiu Immortal Sect, one of the five major immortal sects in the borderland, is in charge of an entire medicine house.
This kind of person has enormous potential.
The gap between them was despairing, and all the cultivators in the entire Sijiu City could not withstand this anger.
"Chief Tian, can you please pretend that we have never been here?"
In desperation, some people saw a chance to survive, but they wanted to turn a blind eye to it and let the Tian family bear the disaster.
After all, it was certain that the Tian family would not be able to escape, but they, the people above, could escape.
As long as the Tian family takes all the blame.
"Yes, this banquet is held in the name of the Tian Family and Master Li. The one from the Immortal Sect doesn't know our names. As long as the two of you are loyal, everyone will be fine."
This proposal was approved by 99% of the people in the field. They all shamelessly asked the head of the Tian family and Li Chengru to step up and pick them out.
"Everyone, is this possible?"
The head of the Tian family almost couldn't breathe, his eyes went dark, and he had to bear it all. The Tian family didn't have the courage or ability to do so.
"Patriarch Tian, you should be able to weigh the importance of one family and one city full of monks. Please show some mercy."
The spokespersons of these families below don't care about their face anymore. This disaster is huge. If it goes wrong, the future and fate of the entire family will be completely ruined.
The right thing to do is to avoid disaster as soon as possible.
"If we're going to die, let's die together."
The head of the Tian family had bloodshot eyes and roared, obviously unable to tolerate the expressions of the crowd.
When it comes to reaping the benefits, they rush forward one after another and cannot be stopped.
Now that he has encountered a disaster, he should be sent out to offer sacrifices to the gods. There is no such thing in the world!
“No one can leave.”
Not only the head of the Tian family went crazy.
The same is true for Li Chengru. His name had long been heard by the big figures of the Immortal Sect.
The word "misunderstanding" cannot be explained clearly.
The only thing we can do now is to bring everyone together, and either punish them all as appropriate, or die together, and no one can escape.
After hearing these words, all the powerful families in the city had sad faces, as if their parents had died.
"All the big shots in the city are scared out of their wits."
Only the shopkeeper could not empathize. He was an outsider, so he could watch the development of things calmly.
Seeing this scene, he found it somewhat funny. No matter how high and mighty a person was, if he encountered disaster, he would still be as fearful and uneasy as an ordinary person.
There is no difference in status among people of the same race.
What exists today is merely a means for the beneficiaries to divide resources.
"My fellow Taoist, is that gentleman still in the Red Line Building? We would like to go and apologize."
The head of the Tian family recovered from his mental breakdown and gradually regained his rationality. The first thing he thought of was to apologize.
As long as there is room for a turnaround in this matter, he would be willing to sell everything he has.
"Yes, no matter what the cost, we must make the adults forgive us."
Everyone nodded in agreement. If they couldn't get through this hurdle, the entire family would collapse. Their previous petty natures were completely relaxed.
Losing money can avoid disaster. The more they lose, the more relaxed they will feel.
"That gentleman has already left the Red Line Building."
The shopkeeper enjoyed super-standard treatment. Those who treated him with respect were all big shots who were out of his reach in the past.
However, although he felt happy, he also knew that this was not brought about by his own power, but came from that adult. He did not dare to argue too much, but told the truth.
"Left! Did they leave the city?"
When people in the city suddenly heard the news, they were almost scared to death.
It's okay for this person to just leave. They have lost the chance to reconcile and they will never have the right to speak again.
"No, if that master escaped, the subordinates would come to report it."
The head of the Tian family reacted and realized that they had made arrangements to stop Chen Sheng from leaving. They had done so to make things difficult for him before, but now they saw a chance to survive.
"It seems to be heading towards the Xilong River."
The shopkeeper said uncertainly.
"Xilong River? The secret place left by Lady Linglong? Yes, he went to Xilong River."
After hearing this, everyone suddenly realized that with the fish talisman in hand and the Xilong River secret realm at his side, this great figure of the Immortal Sect would definitely not leave just like that.
After thinking it through, the group of people hurriedly headed towards Xilong River.
Xilong River.
The stream is surging, the banks are vast, and a big sun is hanging in the sky, casting golden light, which looks magnificent.
"Those are the people who got the fish talisman."
Chen Sheng saw that the immortal cultivators in the distance and the monsters hiding under the water, like him, had obtained the fish talisman and were waiting for the secret realm of Xilong River to open.
"The highest realm is the cultivator in the early stage of the foundation building stage, there is no problem."
Luzhu felt the energy between heaven and earth and found that these competitors were not at such a high level that she could still contend with them.
She and Chen Sheng joined forces and were able to suppress one side in the secret realm.
"Whoosh"
"Whoosh"
"Whoosh"
After waiting for half a quarter of an hour, the outline of a secret world emerged from the water in the Xilong River. It seemed to be separated from the void by a layer and was extremely illusory.
The fish symbol in everyone's hand led the winner, breaking through the illusion and heading straight to the place of opportunity.
"Sir, wait a moment..."
The big shots in the city of Sijiu came in a hurry, but they saw Chen Sheng's figure, who disappeared into the secret realm.
This made them very anxious. They were just one step away from begging for mercy in person and having this matter come to a conclusion.
Waiting like this now is really tormenting.
"what to do?"
Someone asked.
This is also a difficult problem that all the cultivators in the Four Nine Cities need to face.
"When you ask for forgiveness, you should have the right attitude to ask for forgiveness."
The head of the Tian family sighed, bowed his head, and said, "As for what to do next, it depends on you."
His meaning was very clear. As the leader of the family, his duty was to lead the family to survive.
The best solution to the disaster this time is to avoid it, but the elders of the Immortal Sect are wealthy and lack "sincerity", so they should not bring it out to embarrass themselves.
"Come in."
Chen Sheng and Lu Zhu joined hands and, led by the fish talisman, came to the secret realm of Xilong River. Above their heads was a piece of land with pavilions and towers built on it, which looked very majestic like a divine realm.
And below them was a black river that extended into the endless depths of the void, deep and unfathomable. White mist floated on the surface of the water, as if it was separating the yin and yang auras.
"What is this? Youhe!"
This black river was so eye-catching that everyone was attracted to it at the first sight.
An old man in white cloth with bright eyes fixed his eyes on the river below and recognized the origin.
He murmured to himself, "It is said that the Nether River leads to the Netherworld, and that Lady Linglong has taken the path of the gods. Could it be that she wants to use this to construct the cycle of life and death and form her own realm..."
Fang Xiaojin thought of a lot of things. Empress Linglong in the Sijiu City had great means, but she had embarked on a path of immortality that was cut off.
He and many of his colleagues were wondering what secrets were hidden in it.
Now that Youhe is before him, he has figured out everything. Empress Linglong's plan back then was truly terrifying, but it was a pity that it failed.
"Reincarnation? This is real."
Which cultivator can withstand the matter of life and death?
For a moment, many eyes were fixed on Youhe, trying to see something from it.
"Don't think about it. It's just an illusory legend. No one has ever come back since ancient times."
Fang Xiaojin sneered. The ancient matter of reincarnation of life and death was only heard as a rumor, not the truth.
It is not necessarily true that the dark river leads to the underworld.
Even if it is true, without a guide or protection, I am afraid that it will not be able to truly reach the other shore and its body will decay.
"Um?"
Suddenly, Chen Sheng sensed that something strange happened in the storage bag. After groping around for a while, he was not quite sure and locked onto the star box.
This was part of the reward for saving Liu Qingping's wife Kouniang when the Zhou family returned to the Immortal Sect.
There was a restriction on the star box. He tried to unlock it when he first got it, but the progress was slow, so he ignored it afterwards.
The delay lasted until today.
"An illusion?"
He took the forgotten galaxy in his hand, looked at it carefully, but found nothing unusual, so he had to put it back again.
However, he was determined to find time to remove the restrictions and see what was hidden inside.
“Buzz…”
The Youhe River moved, and the formation revived.
The void world was unpredictable, and a curtain of light fell down, filling the land above the Youhe River, creating cities and all kinds of mortals.
Then, the wind and rain poured down, the Youhe River raged, sweeping the whole city, and many people died in the flood disaster.
All industries are in recession, people are having a hard time, living in misery, with no way out.
"This is what the Forty-Nine City looked like eight hundred years ago..."
Some cultivators saw the truth. The great formation was an evolution of the Sijiu City eight hundred years ago. In the era without Empress Linglong, that area was indeed plagued by disasters.
In the divine realm in the sky, a fairy floated down. She was the essence of a fairy puppet, neither alive nor dead, and had no consciousness or awareness.
The mechanism she was operating had been set long ago, and she said loudly, "Please ask the God to quell the flood."
Time seemed to have gone back, and the scene from eight hundred years ago was being played out again.
"The evolution of the formation is all illusion. The Divine Palace on top is where the real opportunity lies."
The immortal creatures who entered the secret realm of Xilong River were unmoved. Except for the Youhe River, all the scenes below were illusions.
However, there is not a single resource for cultivation in the Youhe River. Since there is no profit to be made, there is nothing to do.
One after another, figures flew up into the sky, entered the divine realm, and went to look for the real opportunity.
"What will happen if the flood is quelled?"
Chen Sheng lowered his eyes and saw the frightened and helpless faces in the city, as well as the lingering sadness, so he chose to stay.
Even if it was fake, he wanted to break this evolution formation and make everything disappear.
Moreover, he didn't believe that everything before his eyes was meaningless. Since Empress Linglong set up this link, there must be a deep meaning behind it.
"Young man, there is no treasure here, why don't you leave."
Since Chen Sheng stayed, Lu Zhu naturally did not leave.
But apart from the two of them, there was another person named Fang Xiaojin who stayed behind.
He was gambling that flood control was a test, after all, it was through this that Lady Linglong ascended to the path of divinity.
If the guess is correct, then Mr. Chen and the other two are his competitors.
"Old Senior, please go first."
Mr. Chen's face remained calm and unmoved.
"In that case, let's not disturb each other."
Fang Xiaojin understood that these two young men had the same idea as him and could not be deceived.
Mr. Chen ignored the other party and calmed down, observing the wind and rain in the sky, and found that it was not something that could be easily resolved.
Wind and rain evolved from the great formation. If you want to break the wind and rain, you have to break the great formation.
The great formation extracted some of the power of the Youhe River, which was real and fake. To break it, one would have to shake the empty world.
“Try one or two first…
Mr. Chen observed the wind, rain and water conditions and found that he had no idea where to start, so he entered the formation himself and experienced it with his own body.
His spirit of the Foundation Establishment Realm broke through the wind and rain, and he began to circulate Hunyuan magic power, trying his best to influence the changes of the world.
The violent and surging power was surging wantonly, sweeping across the void sky and earth, hitting the dark river, and bringing up wind and rain.
The power of the formation became chaotic, the wind and rain were blowing, and the dark river was churning.
only.
This effect is not good.
As his magic power ceased, the wind and rain continued to pour down, the You River was surging, and the Sijiu City was in turmoil.
"This person is my great enemy."
Not far away, Fang Xiaojin's eyes narrowed slightly as he watched Chen Sheng adjusting the wind and rain in the empty sky, and he couldn't help but feel a little afraid.
This man has powerful magical powers and a solid foundation. He is not a simple person.
"boom"
Lu Zhu also tried to control the water. She used her magic power to build a city wall in an attempt to divert the water away, but the wind and rain continued, the water level continued to increase, and eventually caused a flood.
"We have to guard against these two people."
Fang Xiaojin felt a chill in the wind and rain. It was not because of the cold air entering his body, but because he felt that Chen Sheng and the other man were too difficult to deal with. He might not be afraid of a one-on-one fight, but two fists could no match against four hands.
"Without a method to control water, it is difficult to stabilize the world."
After several attempts, Chen Sheng failed each time. He knew he couldn't go on any further. He floated in front of the fairy and asked, "Is there any record of flood control?"
He felt that there should be some, as Empress Linglong started her career by controlling floods, so it was impossible for her not to have recorded hydrological knowledge.
"There is relevant information in the Divine Domain Hydrological Hall."
A gleam of inspiration flashed in the fairy's eyes, and it was obvious that the content matched the setting and she had the answer.
“Whoosh!”
After saying this, Chen Sheng soared into the air, entered the divine realm, searched for several palaces, and finally found the Hydrology Palace.
The palace was bright and there were no rare objects inside, only piles of jade books.
He randomly picked up a book, opened it, and saw some ideas on flood control and some water techniques.
"Empress Linglong spent 28 years clearing mountains and draining water, leading the monsters in the water to come out to the south, and killing more than a hundred of them."
"After ninety-nine years, Lady Linglong created a water dragon chant, which adjusted the wind and rain and gradually calmed the Washing Dragon River."
"After one hundred and thirty years of Empress Linglong's reign, monsters in the water have been causing chaos, and the Forty-Nine City has almost become a swamp."
"The following year, I killed, killed, killed, created the Four Directions Gold Technique, and defended one side."
…
"Cutting down mountains and draining water, the sound of water dragons, the four-way gold technique..."
Mr. Chen read it very seriously. The knowledge in the Hydrology Hall was not limited to Taoist magic, but also included geography and feng shui, etc. It explained the methods of water control from the root.
He had an idea, and began to deduce the techniques recorded in the jade book in his mind, the Water Dragon Chant and the Four Directions Gold Technique.
The former is to regulate wind and rain, and the latter is to protect the local water and soil. Combined with the knowledge of water control, it is enough for him to solve the problem.
"Good boy, you are very talented."
Fang Xiaojin came from behind, and when he saw Chen Sheng shining brightly in the Hydrology Hall, he couldn't help but feel a hint of murderous intent in his heart.
The opportunity is there, whoever gets it will own it, and he doesn't want to go along for the ride in vain.
“Put yourself in their shoes and you’ll be able to imagine it.”
Mr. Chen is not a super-wise man, but he knows a lot of things after taking charge of the medicine house. A big force is usually a legacy left by the predecessors and a benefit to the later generations. Such a big divine domain will not be so monotonous.
Fang Xiaojin didn't expect that he was just a casual cultivator and lacked the experience to lead a group.
"Yeah."
Fang Xiaojin didn't show it on his face, his expression was indifferent, but he became more and more concerned about this opponent.
Afterwards, Chen Sheng withdrew from the Hydrology Hall, went down to the Divine Realm, and approached the Youhe world.
"boom!"
Chen Sheng waved his hand and a stream of magic power flew out, breaking a mountain that had evolved from a large formation, and causing the water accumulated by the wind and rain to recede slightly.
Next, he took action one after another, pushing down hundreds of mountains and creating another waterway.
“Boom…”
After dividing the water into two, Chen Sheng used the Four Directions Gold Technique to transform it into four golden mountains, suppressing the four directions of the Sijiu City, causing the flood to retreat and turn into the image of islands in the water.
Water Dragon Song.
The last and most crucial step is to adjust the wind and rain, break the formation, and make this place clear.
His magical power was activated and manifested on his body. It circled around and turned into a water dragon, with scales and claws, and a majestic head. He opened his mouth and the howling wind and rain poured into his body.
With this, the power of the water dragon surged, and its body swelled rapidly, as if it had turned into an ancient celestial dragon, and it fiercely rushed towards the formation.
Boom! A terrifying shockwave came, and the wind and rain in all directions were directly overturned. The bright light of the divine domain shone directly on the Youhe River, and the raging flood appeared to be calm.
However, this change did not last long. The You River began to boil, the power of the formation started to work again, the bright light faded, and the wind and rain returned.
“Failed?!”
Mr. Chen was a little dazed. He used all his tricks, thinking that he could break the formation, but he didn't expect that he was still one step behind.
Why was this happening? He began to think about the reason.
"If I were to operate it, I couldn't do it more perfectly."
Fang Xiaojin returned from the Hydrology Hall with a clear water control plan in his mind, but he saw Chen Sheng's methods and the final result.
He was silent.
Suddenly I felt that the idea of pacifying the flood was too unrealistic.
Was it wrong from the very beginning? "It won't be wrong. Try again."
Mr. Chen firmly believed that this idea of water control was correct, and there was nothing wrong with the water management techniques.
Although he didn't know where he went wrong, he decided to try again and find out the mistake through failure.
"boom"
There is turmoil again in the empty world.
Chen Sheng stood upright with a determined look in his eyes. He wielded the magic power in his hands, constantly sweeping across the mountains and transforming the waterways.
Four-sided gold technique.
Water Dragon Song.
The golden light shone, four mountains were erected, and the fortress was defended.
The water dragon soared into the sky, constantly taking advantage of the wind and rain, accumulating its own power, and finally exploded, turning into a terrifying force, rushing straight into the formation.
Just like before, the formation stopped for a while, but then revived again.
Drip.
The wind and rain continued, and Chen Sheng's spirit declined. After casting spells twice in a row, his magic power was severely depleted, and his dantian was no longer full.
Even so, he still stood still in the void, his eyes scanning the ground below, where there were towering cities, frightened human beings, countless mountains, and raging storms.
Wind and rain, falling.
Gathering in...
"Youhe? Yes, it's Youhe's problem."
Chen Sheng thought it through, and his confidence increased greatly. He said: "Shui Longyin should not attack the void world. Part of the foundation of the formation is built on the Youhe River. I should attack the Youhe River."
His eyes sparkled with a bright light. Even though he was very tired, his spirits were still high.
Boom! A magical power filled with strong will appeared between heaven and earth, causing the mountains to shake and collapse one after another.
Chen Sheng cut down mountains and drained water, and used the Four Directions Gold Technique to stabilize the 49 cities, creating a short-lived stable situation.
Water Dragon Song! The health-preserving meridians in his body began to circulate, trying his best to increase the mana that could be used to take action.
The fluctuations of magic are blooming, and in the wind and rain, the figure of a water dragon is becoming clearer and clearer. It is swimming, grasping the energy of heaven and earth to replenish itself.
Until the water dragon expanded to fifteen feet long, with a waist as thick as a water tank, it suddenly opened its mouth and swallowed all the ups and downs.
Roar! The sky and earth are clear and the water vapor has dissipated.
The sound of the dragon's roar resounded throughout the heaven and earth.
Then, a majestic figure swooped down from the sky, breaking the void flow layer, and rushed into the Youhe River like a thick law, hitting the root directly.
Boom boom...
A loud noise shook the eight directions and the entire divine realm could hear it. The Youhe River was in turmoil, and huge water droplets were scattered all over the sky against the flow.
However, this time there was no continuous sticky rain, but a fresh feeling of seeing a rainbow after the rain.
"Let him do it!!!"
Fang Xiaojin waited for more than ten breaths, hoping that the formation would revive and the continuous wind and rain would come again.
This time, he was disappointed. After the Water Dragon Song, the flood was really settled for Chen Sheng.
“Buzz!”
A small jade seal flew out from the bottom of the You River. It didn't have much power, but it was a symbol of status.
"The central authority of the Xilong River Secret Realm."
Mr. Chen grabbed the imperial seal in his hand. His palm was not big, but he could hold it tightly.
Then, he clearly felt that he had become extremely familiar with the Xilong River Secret Realm, and it even became a part of his body.
"What is that?"
Fang Xiaojin's eyes were wide open, and he felt somewhat unwilling. This thing originally belonged to him, but he was just a step slower, and it fell into the hands of someone else.
Because he knew that he also had a chance, he became more unwilling to give in.
"nice one."
Chen Sheng saw through Fang Xiaojin's thoughts, and he could have used the authority of the Xilong River Secret Realm to kick him out of the secret realm, but he didn't do so.
In the secret realm, he has the power and can control everyone. He is not in a hurry to show himself. He waits for the enemies to jump out one by one before making a fatal kill.
"The old man is gone."
Fang Xiaojin wanted to take action. At this time, Chen Sheng's magic power was a little deficient, but there was a Luzhu protecting him. He was afraid that he would be defeated by the two of them before he could succeed.
After changing his mind, he decided to retreat first, find some people, and then make plans.
"Just let him go like this?"
Luzhu was keenly aware of Fang Xiaojin's ill intentions and wanted to keep him, but she knew very well that Chen Sheng was not stupid and that he must have his reasons for letting him go.
“No hurry.”
Chen Sheng told the origin of the jade seal. He was now in the secret realm of Xilong River, where he could get whatever he wanted and was not afraid of being besieged.
"Is that so? Then we are going to wait now?"
Luzhu smiled.
This is the true face of Mr. Chen. He is kind-hearted, but not pedantic. When it comes to taking drastic measures, he will never hesitate.
"No, the real good stuff is ahead. Let's go get it."
Chen Sheng shook his head. After obtaining the central authority of the Xilong River Secret Realm, he could sense the opportunities in the secret realm. One of them was the essence and should not be missed.
