Chapter 685 Dead Branches Appear in Yueyang
Although according to Xiao Hei's memory and Chi Jiutou's dying conversation, the demon tribe should have successfully evacuated.
However, after all, it was relayed by several people, so it is inevitable that there will be some distortion.
Seeing is believing.
If the demon clan, under the leadership of Emperor Yi, could really pass through the Nanming Holy Beast Mountain and break through the boundary and fly away.
This means that the Tianjian Sect had also achieved this before.
Perhaps next time in the Falling Fairyland, we can focus on studying how to obtain the forging method of the world-splitting divine weapon.
Not to mention leaving a way out for yourself.
Both the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and the Five Elders Council must be very interested in this kind of secret technique.
Leyang Prefecture is located in the southwest of the Wanxian League, not too far from the four central prefectures.
There is a large lake in the territory, named Yueyang Lake.
The state is named after the lake.
It is said that every sunrise, you can see a magnificent sight of a red sun jumping out from the bottom of the lake. At that moment, the concentration of solar energy is far greater than that of other regions. Absorbing and comprehending it for a moment is equivalent to several days of hard practice.
Therefore, a group of monks gathered on the shore of Yueyang Lake. In addition, the lake was extremely rich in products, and the fish in the lake were affected by the strong solar energy every day, and became different from ordinary species. The meat was delicious, and eating it was like swallowing a fire-attributed spiritual stone, and the whole body was warmed by the sun.
With the help of this big lake, many cultivators with average qualifications can make rapid progress.
Of course, such a good thing naturally attracted the envy of the world. In order to prevent outsiders from coming to rob resources, the monks of Yueyang Prefecture spontaneously formed an alliance and occupied a large area of Yueyang Lake for themselves.
Monks from other places who came here because of the lake's fame wanted to obtain the resources in the lake, but they could only fight with each other for the areas that had been separated and were of inferior quality.
It took more than ten days for Li Fan to enter Leyang Prefecture.
In an instant, he felt several eyes falling on him.
However, seeing that Li Fan did not fly towards Yueyang Lake, he slowly withdrew his tracking sights.
Without bothering with these people, Li Fan flew towards Qihong Island.
Qihong Island is located on the bank of Jinsha River, a tributary of Yueyang Lake.
Whenever the sun rises over Yueyang Lake and the solar energy surges, the Jinsha River will also sparkle and glow with golden light.
It can be considered the afterglow of pure solar energy, but for some reason it is tainted with a trace of evil spirit and cannot be absorbed by the monks.
Therefore, few monks come here, and it is considered one of the quieter areas in Yueyang Prefecture.
Ximen Yu's name was quite well-known in this place. It didn't take Li Fan much effort to find his cave.
Outside, his voice could be heard from afar: "How many times have I told you, if you want a complete survey of ancient and modern topography, come to Qihong Island to find me. Transmission through the Tianxuan Mirror will be blocked."
"What? You don't believe that such a thing would happen in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance. I lied to you? And you're going to expose me as a liar to others?"
"You...?"
After Ximen Yu's angry curses ended, Li Fan said loudly: "But is Fellow Daoist Ximen Yu in person?"
"I am Han Wuyou. I have come here to visit you after hearing about your great reputation!"
"Come in." Ximen Yu's lazy voice came.
The door opened and Li Fan entered the cave.
The place is not big and there is no decoration.
It was just that the jade slips were scattered all over the floor, and there were even quite a few paper books and wooden slips.
Li Fan took a quick glance and found that there were some unfamiliar words on it.
"Are you here for the test of ancient and modern mountains and rivers?" Ximen Yu asked without even raising his head, staring closely at a dead branch sticking out from the ground in the cave.
"That's right." Li Fan was also straightforward.
Ximen Yu pointed casually, and a paper book flew out from the messy ground.
"Ten thousand contribution points. Confidential and cannot be resold."
At the same time, a golden light and the book flew in front of Li Fan.
Li Fan smiled, signed the contract, and threw over ten top-grade spirit stones.
I put aside "A Study of Mountains and Rivers in Ancient and Modern Times" for the time being without reading it carefully.
Li Fan was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he asked with interest, "Why didn't Daoist Ximen use the jade slips to record it? Instead, he used this paper book to record it?"
Ximen Yu paused while studying the dead branch. He glanced at Li Fan and said calmly, "The contents engraved in the jade slip can generally only be preserved for 10,000 years. If the spiritual energy is lost, this time will be even shorter."
"But if you use the ink of evil and write on paper made from evergreen trees, it will last for 30,000 to 50,000 years without fading."
"If it is carved directly on the evergreen wood, it can be clearly seen even after 100,000 years."
Li Fan smiled when he heard this: "Daoyou, your thinking is really different from that of ordinary people. You often calculate it for tens of thousands of years..."
"Ten thousand years later, it is still unknown whether the Xuanhuang Realm will still exist or not." Li Fan sighed.
Ximen Yu suddenly turned his head with a serious look in his eyes.
"What do you mean, fellow Daoist?"
Li Fan was a little surprised: "It's just a casual expression. What's wrong?"
"Hmph. Well, you can go now." After looking at Li Fan again, Ximen Yu turned his head away and said no more.
"See you later!" Li Fan bowed and was about to leave.
"boom!"
Just as I reached the entrance of the cave, I suddenly felt the ground shaking slightly.
A familiar yet unfamiliar energy appeared in Li Fan's perception.
Li Fan couldn't help but look back, and saw a stream of ochre-colored energy bursting out from the dead branch that Ximen Yu was observing.
Ximen Yu seemed to have been waiting for a long time. He took out a small white jade bottle and inhaled all the yellow jet.
The outburst lasted for half a cup of tea before slowly subsiding.
Ximen Yu looked at the harvest and smiled with satisfaction.
"Is this the power of the earth veins?" Li Fan came forward and asked curiously.
Ximen Yu's expression changed. He put away the jade bottle and stopped Li Fan from staring at the dead branch.
"Fellow Daoist, you have some knowledge. Yes, I have already finished studying the ancient and modern topography, and now I am studying the related earth veins."
"This concerns personal privacy, so it's better not to ask around," Ximen said in a bad tone.
Li Fan showed a trace of apology on his face: "It's not my intention. It's just that I feel that this dead branch of yours is a little familiar."
"Hmm?" Ximen Yu was slightly stunned, and then his expression changed slightly. "Fellow Daoist, don't make fun of me!"
"I never tell lies." Li Fan said seriously.
"Once, in Tianlingzhou, I also encountered such a dead branch in the wild. After touching it, I suddenly came to an unknown space."
"A big, dilapidated tree stood tall. It made people feel desolate. It didn't take long for me to wake up from the scene."
"The dead branch in my hand has disappeared, just like a dream."
Li Fan sighed slightly and said, "This withered branch of yours is somewhat similar to the one I saw that day. However, it seems to be a little different..."
The more Ximen Yu listened, the more surprised he became.
After hearing the last part, he waved his hand to close the cave door and asked in a deep voice, "Where did you see the dead branch in Tianlingzhou?"
