Chapter 66: The God of Jiuli
Anyone who can rank among the top ten in Qiquan Hall in terms of combat power, in addition to being gifted and strong, must also have magical weapons.
Magical weapons are also part of strength.
Xue Zheng was naturally no exception. The four-foot ring-handled knife in his hand was a low-level magic weapon given to him by the Yang clan when they recruited him.
It was precisely because of this magical weapon that he did not completely lose his fighting power even when struck by the lightning released by the black iron seal. He lay on the ground, holding a knife to guard against the enemy, staring at Li Weiyi who was holding a sword, with a desperate will to fight to the death.
Li Weiyi wanted to step forward and give him a fatal blow.
But an arrow shot by Murong Xiao flew over from a distance.
"Young man, you owe the Changlin Gang a debt, and I am here to collect it myself."
The long voice of Tang Yan, deputy leader of the Changlin Gang, came from deep in the dense forest.
The terrifying energy of the Five Seas Realm expert caused the fallen leaves in the forest to fly up one after another, following his figure like waves and rushing forward. The fallen leaves were stained with magic power and were like flying knives, crashing into the bark of the tree.
"You are quite strong. When I break through another realm, I will use you to test my sword."
Li Weiyi said this to Xue Zheng, then immediately sheathed his sword and fled south.
After a moment.
It turned into a ball of pitch-black mist and quickly went away with the sound of bells.
Xue Zheng felt relieved and let out a long breath. The situation just now was too dangerous. He was mentally prepared to use his last unique skills and die together.
Among all the opponents he encountered in Yongquan Realm, Li Weiyi was not the strongest one, but he was the one who pushed him into the most dangerous situation.
Break through another realm? "He wants to break through the Nine Springs to become a human being?"
Xue Zheng would certainly think that Li Weiyi is now at the level of opening the Eight Springs.
After all, Li Weiyi is neither a special deformed human race nor a pure immortal body. He is just a mortal. It is quite remarkable that he can have such combat power in the Baquan realm.
Changlin Gang deputy leader Tang Yan arrived.
Murong Xiao also gathered together.
Tang Yan glanced at Xue Zheng, whose arms were charred, and asked coldly, "What's going on? With your strength, you two can't take care of him even if you join forces?"
Murong Xiao said: "It is very likely that he not only practices magic and martial arts, but is also a mind master."
Xue Zheng moved his arms that were numb from pain. He was not afraid of Tang Yan and said calmly, "He is very likely the inheritor of the Lei Xiao Sect. He possesses a powerful lightning weapon and an unknown escape weapon that can make a bell sound."
He did not tell anyone about the space treasure.
"Lei Xiao Sect?"
Tang Yan's expression changed.
The Leixiao Sect is located in the Eastern Territory. It is one of the tens of millions of sects in the Lingxiao Realm, and may even be the leader.
Xue Zheng nodded and said, "Except for the inheritors cultivated by tens of millions of sects and schools, who else can possess so many magical instruments in Yongquan Realm? When Cangli was in Yongquan Realm, he also possessed many magical instruments to protect himself."
The more Murong Xiao thought about it, the more she felt that Xue Zheng's analysis made sense, and said, "No wonder the Cangli tribe values him so much. No wonder he is so powerful at such a young age. The Cangli tribe should have known his identity a long time ago!"
After Tang Yan pondered for a moment, his eyes turned cold and said, "What about the seed of the successor of Lei Xiao Sect? Those thousands of sects and schools will cultivate multiple seeds, just like raising a Gu, and only those who survive in the end can become the real successor. Besides, he died in this mountain range. Who knows whether he died in the belly of a strange beast or the claws of a demon?"
Xue Zheng was afraid that Tang Yan would not dare to offend Lei Xiaozong, so he immediately agreed: "Anyway, he has never revealed his identity, who knows if he is the heir seed of Lei Xiaozong? The most important thing at the moment is to execute the orders of the eldest lady. But the magic weapon on him..."
Tang Yan understood immediately and said with a smile: "Those magical instruments on him that only we know about should be divided up in secret, and no one is allowed to reveal a single word. Bringing a corpse back will be enough to report to the young lady."
…
…………
The giant camel released by the evil camel bell is fast, but it consumes too much mana.
After Li Weiyi opened Liuquan, he could only ride for a quarter of an hour, and finally he still had to rely on his two legs.
Perhaps one has to enter the Five Seas Realm, open the Qi Sea, or break through the Eight Springs "Wind Palace" and the Nine Springs "Ancestral Field" to possess the ability to store magic power before one can last.
For the next five days, Li Weiyi recovered from his wounds while fleeing through the mountains.
Every hour, the senior spiritual master would show him the way.
Tang Yan, Xue Zheng, and Murong Xiao chased after him from time to time, but Li Weiyi did not fight them head-on. He escaped in a very thrilling way every time, and his injuries never healed. During one of the times, he was almost seriously injured by Tang Yan, and he escaped only by using the evil camel bell and the black iron seal.
From beginning to end, the guardian wife did not show up. I don't know if she felt that he had been too close to Li Ling and Cai Yutong. In short, Li Weiyi felt that it was not reliable to pin his hope of survival on her.
Five days later.
Li Weiyi dragged his tired and wounded body, traveled day and night, sleeping no more than two hours a day, and finally crossed hundreds of miles to reach the edge of the Jiuli tribe's ancestral territory.
Standing on top of a waterfall halfway up a mountain, looking into the distance.
A magnificent snow-capped mountain sits in the distance, surrounded by countless steep peaks and rolling hills. Only the mountainside can be seen, and the area above is covered by clouds.
The dozen or so peaks around are already very spectacular, but they are suppressed by the snow-capped mountain in the center and their momentum is completely lost.
Behind Li Weiyi, the sarcophagus that was originally lying flat on the ground suddenly stood up.
A voice came from the coffin: "See that most magnificent snow-capped mountain? It is shaped like a crown, and the snow on the mountain never melts all year round."
Li Weiyi asked, "Could that be the tomb of King Cang?"
"No!"
Senior Shijian said, "That is Jiuli Mountain. According to our ancestors, Chi You, the God of Jiuli, is buried under the snowy mountain. It is hard to say whether he is really buried there, but Jiuli Mountain is definitely one of the top three most dangerous and mysterious places in the entire southern region. Even when I went there at the peak of my cultivation, I almost died there."
Li Weiyi had heard of the name of the God of Jiuli a long time ago, and was really shocked at first. The name was too similar to the one in ancient Chinese mythology and legends, and it was hard not to have any imagination.
Hearing what Senior Shikan said, Li Weiyi's heart was naturally stirred again.
He had already guessed the identity of the person in the coffin. He was so powerful when he was alive that the clan leaders, clan masters, and ancestors of Lizhou today would never see him. He broke into his ancestral tomb and almost never came back? The stone coffin elder continued, "According to our ancestors, the God of Jiuli gave birth to eighty-one children, all of whom were buried around the Jiuli Mountain, which became the mountains and hills in front of you. Nine of the eighty-one children are the ancestors of the nine major tribes of the Jiuli people today."
"What about the remaining seventy-two?" Li Weiyi asked.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
This question obviously touches upon Mr. Shijian’s blind spot in knowledge!
After a long pause, the stone coffin elder continued, "King Cang is the eldest son of the Jiuli God and the ancestor of the Cangli tribe. He is buried in the place closest to the Jiuli Sacred Mountain. It is the first peak on the right side of the snow mountain!"
Li Weiyi saw the mountain, which was very imposing, with its top almost approaching the clouds.
Senior Shijian said: "However, this vast forest area occupied by the Ancestral Realm is extremely dangerous. There are many protective forces left by the ancient sages, and even the power of the Nine Li God. If you don't follow the few ways to survive, you will probably lose a layer of skin if you break in from the Changsheng Realm."
"So as long as we enter this ancestral land, we will be much safer. Those people chasing behind us would not dare to break in even if they were given ten times the courage."
"Next, I will go forward with you."
"You hold up the Nine Emperor Banner, and it can quietly open the light veil barrier that protects the ancestral realm."
An hour later, Li Weiyi arrived at the bottom of the waterfall, carrying the stone coffin on his shoulder and holding a three-meter-long white Nine Emperor Banner in his hand. Like a mourner, he opened the barrier veil and officially walked into the ancestral land of the Jiuli tribe.
Too weird! When I walked into the ancestral realm, the sky suddenly darkened, as if entering the night.
It was so quiet all around that not even the sound of birds could be heard.
In the sky, there appeared dense stars... It actually looked like the Milky Way...
Li Weiyi was stunned for a moment, and immediately asked the senior in the stone coffin. He was told that the ancestral realm could be called the ancestral realm, it must be different from the outside world. It was a small world arranged by the God of Jiuli.
As for the stars in the sky, they have been like this since ancient times, and Senior Stone Coffin said that he could not understand it either.
"From here, can we walk back to Earth?"
Li Weiyi was muttering this in his heart when a hundred-meter-high hill in front of him suddenly began to wriggle, raising a bull's head as big as a palace, and its eyes released a terrifying power.
Countless rocks rolled down from its back.
The night was thick and it was hard to see clearly. But Li Weiyi's scalp was tingling and he just wanted to turn around and leave. This place was too dangerous and not a place for him with his current level of cultivation.
Senior Shijian said, "Don't panic, it's the tomb guardian beast, the Mud Ox. Use the Nine Emperor Banner to clear the way, it won't hurt you."
How could he not panic? Li Weiyi held his breath, smiled at the hill-like clay cow, and walked lightly from below, always feeling that the cow head was staring at him. Fortunately, after walking around, the huge head fell back and there was no more movement.
“Crash!”
He walked along a luminous stream, the water looking like a glowing ribbon.
After walking for only half an hour, a group of green balls of light suddenly emerged from the ground, and inside them were a group of crustaceans the size of washbasins. They had sharp claws like mantises and human-like heads, and looked extremely eerie and terrifying.
Li Weiyi swallowed saliva wildly, and his hands holding the Nine Emperors Banner were sweating.
"Don't panic, they are the Yanqi clan of the insects guarding the tomb. Sweep them with the Nine Emperor Banner and they will make way." The Stone Coffin Elder was very calm.
"They're so big...you said they were bugs?"
Li Weiyi could feel that these Yan Ji were not simple, and each of them brought him a stronger sense of danger than Xue Zheng, so he followed the instructions and gently waved the Nine Emperor Banner.
Yan Yu on the ground really became docile and automatically made way for him.
Walking through the area occupied by Yan Yu, Li Weiyi couldn't help but ask, "Master Guan, what exactly are we going to get from King Cang's Tomb? Considering the danger level of this place, I think I can practice for another two years before coming back."
Senior Shijian smiled and said, "Don't worry. If you are not more than 90% sure, I will not let you take risks. Besides, you are no longer Wuquan, but Liuquan, and you have cultivated the last insufficient mental power. I think the danger is minimal..."
“Someone!”
Li Weiyi heard something and immediately placed the Nine Emperor Banner upside down on the ground. He squatted down and looked in the direction where the sound came from.
