Chapter 94 Hidden Ancestor
Jiuli Insect Valley is extremely deep, and is shrouded in clouds of magic energy all year round, so its entire appearance cannot be seen clearly. But walking in it, one can feel the vastness of the space, the steep cliffs on both sides of the mountain, and buildings suspended in the void.
It is said that there are some ancient hermits living there, but the formations and runes are hidden and cannot be confirmed.
The strong Dharma energy and unique underground environment have nurtured many rare luminous plants in the valley.
“Wow!”
A frightened old ginseng rushed out from the ground, using its roots as feet, and ran away, emitting a refreshing medicinal fragrance all over its body.
At first glance, it looks very much like the legendary thousand-year-old elixir.
These refined medicines and demon medicines are all living fossils between heaven and earth, knowing many ancient secrets. Some of them are so powerful that they can compete with those of the immortals of the Tao.
Soon, the cliffs in the valley turned golden, like a huge gold mine, brilliant and colorful.
Deep in the golden cliff is a black, freezing ice wall.
There is no end to the ice wall, either upwards or horizontally.
The Hidden Lord stopped, his eyes solemn under the mask, and bowed to the black ice wall. Then, he uttered a strange language. The voice was wrapped in magic energy and could penetrate the ice wall.
Li Weiyi waited quietly behind him, feeling the biting coldness of the environment.
The sound of dripping spring rang in my ears. Looking over, I found that drops of golden spring liquid were dripping from the golden cliff on the right, gathering on the ground to form a palm-sized spring pool.
After taking a breath of the golden mist emanating from the spring pool, Li Weiyi felt extremely refreshed all over, as if his entire body had been cleansed.
“Wow——”
Inside the black ice wall, wisps of golden light appeared, and it seemed like countless golden lightning bolts were passing through.
The darkness is illuminated.
The ice wall turned into a crystal clear golden wall, releasing an ancient aura that overwhelmed the heavens and the earth, and the space seemed to be vibrating.
Li Weiyi was so shocked that he could not stand up at all. He knelt on one knee like Yin Jun and shouted, "Greetings to Yin Zu!"
The deafening and melodious chirping of insects sounded inside the ice wall.
On the ice wall, a pair of extremely huge golden insect wings appeared faintly. The wings swayed gracefully up and down, and countless light rains escaped.
Each insect wing is hundreds of meters long, dispersing the clouds and mist, and its aura is overwhelming.
"News about Yuanzhe's leader..."
Li Weiyi couldn't even raise his head or breathe. He could only hear these few words. He was shocked: "It turns out that Yin Zu is a strange insect. No wonder this place is called Jiuli Insect Valley. Animals can live for thousands of years without dying. This is too exaggerated."
“Wow!”
The letter in Yinjun's hand was swept away by the rain of light and flew into the ice wall.
After a while, the secret mark of the leader that Master Coffin left on the letter appeared on the ice wall.
The sound rang in my ears again, Yinjun was talking to Yinzu in a strange language.
Li Weiyi clearly felt a pair of extremely penetrating eyes falling on him, and his body felt as if it was illuminated by dazzling sunlight. Gradually, the sunlight faded away, and the entire Jiuli Insect Valley returned to darkness and coldness.
"Wake up, the Hidden Ancestor has fallen into a deep sleep again."
Yinjun had already stood up, staring at Li Weiyi with complicated and amazed eyes. His heart, which had finally calmed down, was stirred up again.
"It's such a horrible atmosphere. I can't breathe at all. It's like a majestic mountain is pressing down on me." After Li Weiyi stood up, he was still frightened.
"This is normal! How many years have you been practicing, and how many years has the Hidden Ancestor been practicing? Once you have cultivated the combat method, it will naturally be much better."
Lord Yin continued, "Ancestor Yin said that the handwriting, the aura, the hidden mark, and even the energy fluctuations belonging to the Nine Emperor Banners all match perfectly."
Li Weiyi thought to himself that Master Guan was very rigorous in his work and was worthy of being the former leader of the Jiuli tribe.
The so-called leader is the patriarch of the entire Jiuli tribe.
Yin Jun regarded Li Weiyi as an important member of Yin Men, and said with a sigh: "Ling Xiao's living environment has experienced ten years of war. There are countless rebel armies, and the states are full of corpses. The people are living in misery, and seven out of ten houses are empty and eight are in ruins. Thousands of sects and clans have raised their war flags, and millions of powerful families like Sui Zong are ambitious. The bandits from Dongyi, Xirong, Nanman, and Beidi are also rubbing their hands, wanting to conquer the world."
"The demon kings entrenched in the remote wilderness have also begun to stir, building up their power and supporting the human army to capture cities and territories for them."
"In addition, the Netherworld of the Dead has been trying to engulf the twenty-eight states of Lingxiao. The world is now in trouble both internally and externally, and crises are coming from all directions."
"The only thing is, where is the leader, and why can he only return after ten years? Lingxiao Habitat, Lizhou, and the Nine Li Tribes probably can't wait ten years."
Although the Jiuli Hidden Sect is powerful and has a profound foundation, the Hidden Lord knows that there are always people better than you, and he has always been walking on thin ice and trembling with fear. No one knows where the situation in the world will go.
Only the return of a leader like him can be the real stabilizer.
Li Weiyi certainly knew that the reason why Master Coffin set the time limit at ten years was that he hoped that the Hidden Sect and the Jiuli Tribe could protect him for ten years and provide him with the resources for ten years of cultivation.
Ten years later, Master Coffin naturally could not return.
But ten years later, Li Weiyi may have grown to the level of a leader. Isn't this another kind of leader returning? Li Weiyi pretended to smile bitterly: "When I met Master, I was just a mortal. How could I know his secrets? Since Master said he would come back in ten years, he would definitely come back. We can't control anything. When the world is in chaos, there will be many heroes. Dragons and pythons fighting in chaos will turn into dragons. There is no such scene in a peaceful and prosperous era. I am looking forward to it."
"I was delusional!"
Yin Jun sighed and looked at Li Weiyi with a curious look in his eyes. He felt that this boy was indeed extraordinary and seemed to always have a fighting spirit. He said, "Weiyi, with your talent, you must refine the golden veins. You can collect some of the golden spring water, which should be of great help. Nine, for example. If you can refine nine golden veins, you will be better than most of the inheritors of tens of millions of families."
"It would be great if it could help refine the golden veins!"
Li Weiyi immediately became interested. He found a clay pot on the ground and tried to fill it with the golden spring water from the puddle.
The spiritual master said that his mental power has reached the level of Fang Cun Ming Huo, and the blood and earth space will undergo further changes, which may help him to forge the golden veins.
But this is uncertain after all.
How could the golden spring in front of him be as real? Yin Jun watched Li Weiyi take away all the golden spring in the puddle, leaving not a drop behind, and frowned tightly. This kid was really rude.
The two walked outside.
The Hidden Lord said, "The secret of Yuan Zhe's return after ten years must not be revealed at this stage. Your identity must also be kept secret, so I cannot allow you to become a Hidden God for the time being. You still have to challenge the three people on the Mind Power Stone Wall. With your talent, it shouldn't be a problem after you break through to the Nine Springs."
Li Weiyi had exactly this intention and didn't want to be pushed to the forefront. If the news leaked out, it would definitely provoke a lot of old monsters.
He asked, "What are the benefits of becoming a hidden person?"
Yinjun really wanted to tell him that Shenyinren represents responsibility.
But thinking that he was not an ordinary citizen, it was not appropriate to directly put the responsibility of the Jiuli tribe on him, so he changed his tone: "It is extraordinary to be a Shenyin. The resources you can enjoy are far beyond what a hermit can compare to. For example, the golden spring in your hand is only qualified to drink by Shenyin people."
"For example, after the birth of the Divine Hidden Man, he can mobilize all kinds of resources of the Hidden Sect and the Coffin Sea Pavilion, and command the Hidden Men of the entire Lingxiao Habitat. When encountering major events, even the Hidden Men of previous generations will have to obey you."
"Also, in order to cultivate the leadership qualities of the Hidden Gods, the Hidden Gods do not need to be planted with the Death Spirit Fire when they leave the Hidden Gate. They have a great degree of freedom."
Li Weiyi's eyes became brighter and brighter: "In other words, as long as I become a hidden god, I can leave the Hidden Gate whenever I want?"
"That's natural." said Yin Jun.
Li Weiyi nodded in satisfaction, and suddenly thought of something: "The problem of the Six Desires Talisman must be solved within two months. I only have two pills left that Shi Liuyu gave me."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Yinjun asked Li Weiyi to take out the pills.
He picked up one and sniffed it: "Shi Liuyu can't move for the time being, but this kind of pill is not difficult to refine. I'll help you refine a few more later."
To completely solve the Six Desires Talisman, it is necessary to capture Shi Liuyu and force him to remove the rune. But once this is done, many traces of the Hidden Sect will be exposed, and it may even attract the Heavenly King of the Earth Wolf King Army to Lizhou.
This is not the result that Yin Jun wants to see! It is most beneficial to keep the Yin Sect mysterious and even let the enemy despise the Yin Sect.
…
…………
Li Weiyi, carrying a pottery jar in his hand, walked out of the mountain gate of Yinmen alone.
In addition to the old gatekeeper who was sitting cross-legged and practicing as usual, Hidden Twenty-Four was also waiting at the mountain gate.
She walked up quickly and asked, "How was it? Did you see the Hidden Ancestor?"
Li Weiyi said nothing and looked stern.
Hidden Twenty-Four seemed to be thinking about something, and inexplicably felt a little guilty. He still said coldly: "I really don't know about the trial. But everyone has to go through this level, why are you angry?"
Li Weiyi was not that stingy, but he deliberately said in an unhappy tone: "At the most dangerous time, I first considered your safety and let you go first. But what about you? You should at least remind me, right? Do you know how dangerous the Changlin Gang will be after you leave?"
"Wang Daozhen wanted to kill me and severely injured me with one palm strike. Yang Qingxi wanted to deal with my companions and threatened me with them. The most terrifying one is Yao Qian. He knows many secrets about me. Who knows what kind of torture I will suffer if I fall into their hands?"
"Shi Liu wants to throw me into a wolf den, leaving me unable to live or die. Shi Jiuzhai and Shi Shishi want to tie me up and take me to the wolf den..."
…
Yin Twenty-four imagined the scene at that time, feeling heavy-hearted, and said with great certainty: "I will kill Wang Daozhen... Next time, I will let you go first!"
Li Weiyi said coldly: "I need you to kill for me? His life belongs to me. Where is the Light Flame Pill?"
Yin Twenty-four hurriedly took out a pill bottle and handed it over with both hands: "Five pills in total! If you need more, I will find a way."
Li Weiyi took the pill bottle.
After opening it, an extremely bright beam of light burst out from the bottle mouth, illuminating the area around the mountain gate as if it were daytime.
Cover it quickly.
He was in a good mood and couldn't wait to return to the cave to swallow it. Seeing the nervous Yin Twenty-four, he pretended to be polite and said, "I'll count it as you offsetting 500,000 silver coins! The strength of the three-headed snake blood soul has not been verified. Don't cheat me about its combat power. I have a rough idea of it."
Yin Twenty-four could of course feel Li Weiyi's sincerity towards her, so she did not deliberately lie again: "At the strongest combat power state, I should be able to reach the fifth level of the Five Seas Realm, but to stimulate that level of combat power, with my current cultivation, I must be mentally prepared to sacrifice my life."
“What about the value?”
Li Weiyi asked hurriedly.
Yin Ershisi said: "A conservative estimate is three million silver coins... I will collect the money as soon as possible, but it may take several years..."
She didn't dare say it was more than ten years, for fear that Li Weiyi would snatch the bracelet back.
Li Weiyi held his breath secretly, his heart beating wildly.
This is much higher than what the spiritual master estimated!
Considering that the spiritual master does not belong to this era after all, it is normal for him to make a wrong judgment on the value of the blood sacrifice artifact.
"Be conservative, it's three million silver coins. If you're not conservative, it's four million, five million. Just treat it as four million silver coins!"
Li Weiyi waved his hand and walked down the mountain: "You should work hard to cultivate and break through as soon as possible! After your cultivation level is improved, you will not have to sacrifice your life to activate the strongest combat power of the three-headed snake bracelet. When I am short of money, I will come to you to collect the debt."
Yin Ershisi could tell that Li Weiyi's tone was not angry at all, but rather contained a hint of concern. He knew that he had just been fooled by him. His face suddenly lit up, and he quickly chased after him, whispering, "How long will it take to get to the spider cave?"
"No hurry, I'll swallow these Light Flame Pills first and see if I can break through quickly."
Arriving at the Blood River, Li Weiyi stopped and looked at the beautiful figure still sitting under the cliff carving of "Jiuli Insect Valley".
The stone carvings are majestic and full of ancient charm.
Yao Yin was so fragile, like a tender grass that wanted to shake the sacred mountain.
Li Weiyi asked, "What's her condition? What's wrong with her body? From her tone, it seemed like she was dying."
