Chapter 541 The Battle for the True Inheritance
The Hermit took off his metal mask, revealing a gaunt face of a man in his forties, his temples drooping to his shoulders. He gazed at the golden-scale-like shimmer of the sea with a bitter expression, "That day in the ruins of Dragon City, she nearly revealed her secret of being alive, and she could no longer remain in the High Heavens."
"After they parted, she headed north along the East China Sea. Perhaps she went to the rainforest habitat north of the East China Sea, or perhaps to a place even further away."
"The world is vast, but dangers abound. Perhaps she will die in a foreign land, never to be heard from again. Or perhaps, years later, she will secretly return, like a traveler weary from afar, or like a haggard and worn-out person returning home. How many years will that be?"
"If the God of Jiuli was here, if King Cang was still alive, if Leader recovered his cultivation, perhaps everything would be different. Maybe!"
Li Weiyi sensed the helplessness and deep pain in Yinjun's heart. "Don't be so pessimistic. Master Yao is a martial artist at the Immortal Realm, shrewd and wise. Even in a dangerous place like Lingxiao Rice Sect, she can sit at the position of a Venerable. Perhaps it won't be long before she becomes a Great Immortal, even transcendent, and returns as an unfathomable powerhouse, bringing us the surprise of a long-awaited reunion."
In fact, he also felt bad.
Being forced to leave and leaving voluntarily are completely different.
No matter how strong her heart is, she will be tortured by loneliness. No matter how powerful her cultivation is, there will be times when she is seriously injured and helpless.
Being alone and free is only temporary; hardship and waste of time will last for a long time.
"One can only hope so!"
Yin Jun forced a smile and sat up straight. "At least everything is moving in a positive direction. The leader has returned, Sui Zong and Guan Shan have been defeated, and the situation in Lizhou is stable."
"Cang Li, Yin Jiu, Yin Shiyi, and Li Ling are all growing rapidly... Oh, and where's Yao Yin? It's said that she was with you in the end. Du'e Temple has sent people to inquire about her three times."
"she?"
Li Weiyi and Yinjun walked on the sea and returned to Yuelong Island.
There are strong men from the Flower Demon Clan guarding Yuelong Island. Fighting and killing are prohibited, so it is relatively safe.
Yin Jun and Yin Yi were meeting secretly on a boat outside the island when they were ambushed and killed. The Yin Clan's stronghold on the island had not been exposed.
Upon learning of Yin Yi's tragic death, Yin Jun fell silent, obviously having expected this outcome.
After landing on the island.
Li Weiyi pretended to pick up Yao Yin and Yin Twenty-four, and found a remote street in Haishi, and released them from the blood mud space.
"If you seal us up suddenly for no reason again without any explanation, I will be angry!" Yin Twenty-Four was angry, his eyes wide open.
Li Weiyi showed an indifferent look as he led the way: "The Hidden God doesn't need to explain to the Hidden God. You'd better understand your position."
Hidden Twenty-Four looked towards Yao Yin.
Yao Yin chased after him and said, "We know you are hiding a great secret, but the Hidden Man will never betray the Hidden Man of God. You don't trust us enough."
Li Weiyi stopped in his tracks. His attitude towards Yao Yin was completely different from his attitude towards Yin Twenty-four. He smiled and said, "Yin Twenty-four's cultivation is too low, and he lacks any cunning, so he's unreliable. However, if you become the true disciple of Du'e Temple, I'll tell you any secrets you ask me."
"real?"
Although Yao Yin's bright eyes still showed an angry look, his heart had relaxed.
The anti-Li alliance that had been discussed in advance with Yin Twenty-Four was instantly disintegrated.
"Of course it's true."
Li Weiyi asked again: "You are not angry anymore?"
"How can it be so easy to coax me? Unless you teach me the chapter of changing bones and changing gods..." Yao Yin raised her head with a cold look in her eyes.
Before she could finish, Li Weiyi agreed: "Okay!"
Yao Yin's cold eyes turned to surprise. It was just a casual remark, but she didn't expect him to agree so readily.
Li Weiyi knew that the battle for the true inheritance of the ancient religion was bloody and cruel, comparable to the position of the crown prince of a dynasty. He was worried about Yao Yin's safety in Du'e Temple. Learning the "Bone Changing and God Changing" chapter would increase his life-saving capital.
Yin Twenty-four felt that Yao Yin was too spineless and was immediately manipulated. He said coldly, "I want to learn too."
Li Weiyi scolded, "What are you learning? Do you understand? You're just causing trouble!"
"I was the one who taught you the art of disguise." Yin Ershisi said.
Li Weiyi said, "If you don't teach me, there are other people in the Hidden Sect who can teach me. If the Bones Changing Gods Chapter is passed on to Yao Yin, she can go and fight for the true inheritance of the Du'e Temple. If it is passed on to you, what can you fight for?"
Seeing the two quarreling again, Yao Yin hurried to mediate. Even she felt that Li Weiyi was too partial and seemed to be trying to sow discord between them.
"Yao Yin, I will teach you the Bone Changing God Chapter. You are not allowed to teach it to anyone else."
Li Weiyi walked towards the stronghold's gate first, muttering to himself, "They're still trying to unite and put pressure on me. They must be dismantled beforehand."
Yin Jun watched the three people from afar, feeling worried. When Li Weiyi came closer, he reminded them through voice transmission: "Du'e Temple has always been a Taoist sect. The selection of true disciples has very high requirements for image. Before Yao Yin takes the position of true disciple, you must restrain yourself."
"Yao Yin's image isn't good enough? He's definitely one of the top people in Lingxiao Biotope... What do you mean?"
Li Weiyi looked over with a frozen expression.
Yin Jun nodded: "That's what I mean."
Li Weiyi was speechless for a moment, feeling wronged. Not to mention what Yinjun wanted, he had never even touched Yao Yin's hand properly and had never had any evil thoughts.
"Greetings to Lord Yin!"
Yao Yin and Yin Twenty-four had already walked in, and the two of them didn't say anything more.
Seeing Yao Yin, Yin Jun finally came out of his thoughts of Yin Yi's death and smiled, "You have condensed the Dao Lotus, that's great! The clan has prepared enough six-clawed immortal dragon energy for you. You don't have to worry about resources before you reach the realm of immortality. However, you will face a powerful competitor on your path to true inheritance."
Yao Yin wasn't completely manipulated into various shapes like she was in front of Li Weiyi. She had her own character and wasn't weak. "I'm not afraid of competition. How can I feel a sense of accomplishment if I get something that's easily within my reach?"
"Don't you want to know who that person is?" Yin Jun said.
Yao Yin said, "Within the past hundred years of Du'e Temple, only two people have cultivated the Immortal Body and achieved immortality. With this opportunity in the East China Sea, perhaps some Dao Seed Realm disciples with talent will be able to make further progress, but the number of competitors will definitely not exceed five."
Yao Yin did not take seriously all the young emperors who had reached the Daozhong realm in the history of Du'e Temple.
For example, Mo Tong was not among the five people she mentioned.
"It's Zuoqiu Hongting." Yinjun said.
Li Weiyi and Yao Yin were both stunned.
Yin Jun said, "This isn't my conjecture. It's what Zuoqiu Hongting said at a gathering before leaving for Du'e Temple. She claimed she was going to Du'e Temple to claim the position of a true disciple. Cang Li, Yin Jiu, Zhu Yibai, Tang Wanqiu, and the others have also returned to Du'e Temple to cultivate."
"Li Weiyi, you should be familiar with Zuoqiu Hongting's talent and intelligence."
"Now that the East China Sea has undergone a dramatic transformation and the immortal dragon veins have revived, Du'e Temple needs the help of the Zuoqiu Clan to exert its influence in the East China Sea and seize interests and territory. It's entirely possible that the Zuoqiu Clan set a condition for her to be appointed as the true disciple."
Li Weiyi asked, "Is it because the Hidden Ancestor has emerged and the leader has returned, making the Zuoqiu Sect feel that they can no longer control the Jiuli Tribe, so there is competition among the allies."
"Competition itself is everywhere! Aren't there competitions among the Jiuli tribe and even among the Yin people?" Yin Jun looked at Yao Yin.
Yao Yin regained his composure and said seriously, "If it were her, I would be even more motivated to fight."
Li Weiyi took out the two petals of the Immortal Flower he had collected from the underground of the East China Sea and handed them to her: "There are only two petals. Whether you can cultivate into an immortal body depends entirely on you."
"Thank you, Shenyinren! Yaoyin will definitely repay this favor." Yaoyin said.
"I've put it in your account book!"
…
As the sky darkened, the lanterns in the courtyard lit up.
Li Weiyi and Yinjun sat in the pavilion by the pond and talked, and Yin Twenty-four brought up four dishes of side dishes and rice wine.
"The Immortal Path Dragon Vein has indeed revived, and the nearly 30,000-li sea area is within its range."
"Although the cultivation environment is good, it will not be peaceful for a long time. There will definitely be constant disputes, and various forces will be playing games to gain more benefits. I suggest that you return to Lizhou. Once things are stable here and you have established a sect, it will not be too late to come here."
Yinjun told Li Weiyi that the Jiuli tribe was going to establish the Jiuli Sect on the immortal dragon vein in the East China Sea, and was still in the site selection stage.
"After the Grand Palace Master appeared, the Sandao Yi and Longmen bandits became frightened and retreated one after another, fearing a reckoning."
"The three islands are currently occupied by Daogong, Du'e Temple, and Leixiao Sect respectively."
Li Weiyi held his wine glass, slightly surprised. The Three Islands were three large islands, each easily housing tens of millions of people. Furthermore, they were also covered by immortal dragon veins. "How could such a huge benefit be seized by the Lei Xiao Sect?"
"The Leixiao Sect has received support from the Jellyfish Clan, so they must have made some promises."
The Hermit King smiled. "The Snow Sword Tang Court controls the Cloud Sky Immortal Plain, and the Zuoqiu Sect has conquered the Underground Immortal Residence. The Thunder Sky Sect is naturally unwilling to be left out. The imperial court has disappeared, and they are the three most powerful forces in the Lingxiao Realm."
The imperial court hid itself naturally to avoid the revenge of Feifeng and the Demon Kingdom, as well as Chanhai Guanwu's thousand-year-old enemy.
Li Weiyi's mind moved. "The underground immortal palace was conquered by the Zuoqiu Sect and the Jiuli Clan together. The Jiuli Clan should have also received a lot of territory, right? Old Li, send more people to dig. There must be the Book of Shining Stars underneath. That's the real treasure."
The Hermit nodded, then sighed, "How could it be so easy to dig it up? The Lingxiao Rice Sect dug for a thousand years and only found nine pages. How about you take charge of the underground immortal palace?"
“Wow!”
The night fog rushed in quickly, rushed into the stronghold, and condensed into the thin figure of Qin Lao.
Qin Lao had a solemn expression on his face, but upon seeing Li Weiyi sitting in the pavilion, his expression brightened instantly. He said in a hoarse voice, "What's going on? I heard something happened to the Hidden Sect. There's talk of a duel between immortals at sea, and the Jiuli tribe has suffered heavy casualties."
Yin Jun and Li Weiyi stood up to greet him. The former said, "It's been resolved! How did you get the news so quickly? Have you been nearby?"
Qin Lao rushed over from the Sentinel Army's outpost on Yuelong Island. He was not in a position to explain to Yin Jun, so he just dealt with it vaguely. Then he looked at Li Weiyi and asked, "Where is the Grand Palace Master?"
Yin Jun was also curious about this question. However, he felt that the whereabouts of a figure like the Grand Palace Master would not be disclosed to a junior like Li Weiyi, so he held back and did not ask.
