Chapter 487: Zuo Qiuran, the ancestor of Confucianism and Taoism
The true teachings are supreme among the younger generation.
As the true teachings enter the realm of immortality, and one goes further and further on the road to immortality, that kind of power and status will reach a higher peak.
Under the true teachings, no matter how high one’s cultivation level is, one must bow down and submit.
Sheng Wulian was wearing a white martial uniform embroidered with green rice leaves. He came with the wind and landed lightly and silently on the top of the boat awning.
He put his hands behind his back, his young and flawless handsome face framed by a pair of gray-white pupils as he stared at the two women kneeling on one knee below.
Sheng Wulian's entire body radiated divine light, and he spoke calmly, "Get up! Who are you facing?"
The two girls stood up.
Before Wu Hongling could speak, the purple-clothed woman answered, "Liu Fengshu! This man not only possesses exceptional telekinesis, but his martial arts skills are even greater. This is the real reason Huoxin died at his hands. That day, the sea obscured the truth."
Sheng Wulian was very perceptive and noticed a subtle change in emotion deep in Wu Hongling's pupils: "Hongling, you've fought him the most. What do you think his background is?"
Wu Hongling was very clear about her sister's intention in saying that. Only if Liu Fengshu was strong enough and had a great background, and was defeated by him, would the criticism and ridicule be reduced to a minimum.
Moreover, Li Weiyi would never dare to admit that he was Liu Fengshu.
"His martial arts ability is above mine, and... maybe he hasn't reached the peak of the Dao Seed Realm yet. Such a person might be a disciple of the emperor of a certain human kingdom." Wu Hongling said ambiguously.
"Another disciple of the Emperor!"
Sheng Wulian was quite sensitive to these four words. After pondering for a moment, he asked, "Where is your Hong Ling?"
Wu Hongling clenched her fingers tightly and kept silent.
The purple-robed woman said, "Please ask the True Master to keep this a secret and give us some time. We will definitely take Hong Ling back."
She used this to imply that this was what the two of them wanted to conceal, thus avoiding the main issue.
"This true teaching can help you conceal it, but Liu Fengshu will regard it as another achievement after killing the evil heart. When he walks the world with the red silk in hand, how can you two still maintain your dignity in the palace of rice?"
"It's possible that Liu Fengshu is truly a disciple of the Emperor, specially trained to compete with this generation of rice men. The two of you should quickly break through to the realm of immortality and kill him with the realm of immortality to wash away the shame on yourselves."
Sheng Wulian flew away, his feet stepping on the river of smoke and light, and disappeared on the sea.
Wu Hongling felt extremely cold in her heart. She was displeased with Sheng Wulian's condescending and domineering attitude, which was even greater than her murderous intention towards Li Weiyi.
Her face remained calm, her mind regaining composure. "Sister, I have made an important discovery, a discovery of great merit. I must see the elders immediately. This will be enough to atone for my mistakes. However, if I bypass the true teachings and report it to the elders, I'm afraid Sheng Wulian will remember us if he finds out."
"You didn't report it to him just now. Didn't you make a choice? Since you don't want to be inferior to others, then fight. Not fighting and losing will have the same result. It will be difficult for us to control the future and we can only let our future be arranged." said the woman in purple.
…
Return to Yuelong Island Sea City.
At the Zuoqiu Menting’s base, Zuoqiu Hongting took Li Weiyi to pay a visit to the ancestor of Confucianism and Taoism, Zuoqiu Ran.
Zuoqiu Ran was one of the few people who knew that Li Weiyi's ancestral land had not been abolished.
His earliest acquaintance with Li Weiyi can be traced back to the transaction at Yaoguan in Lizhou.
Li Weiyi bought the "Zen Sea Dragon Slaying Picture" from him.
This old ancestor did not have an aura of transcendental dominance. He had a long beard, a green robe and a silk scarf. Inside the house, he sketched a mirage of a phoenix tree and a dragon city.
Li Songgu stood quietly by, grinding ink and holding the lamp.
"You're back now? Xiao Gu, you need to cultivate your mind and cultivate your character more. If you lived to my age and witnessed the birth, aging, sickness, and death of countless generations, and the coming and going of seasons, you would understand that young people must be given more experience. Only those who survive a hundred battles are true heroes. Those who are meticulously protected cannot fly high."
"The road to immortality is full of dangers! It's not uncommon for young emperors to never reach the state of transcendence. It's truly heartbreaking that someone of average appearance in their youth could achieve this state and even kill a former peer.
"You can't avoid the wrong paths you're bound to take, the losses you're bound to suffer, the beatings you're bound to take. The earlier you experience them, the smaller the price you'll pay."
"You two, come in!"
Zuoqiu Ran put down his pen. What he just said was meant for Li Songgu as well as for them.
Having lived for thousands of years, I have witnessed generation after generation of gifted individuals. Some, despite showing their potential, met with untimely demise. Others, too well-protected and lacking the necessary sharpness, are like a blunt knife, unable to cut through the bottleneck of transcendence, and die of old age in the realm of immortality.
How to properly educate the next generation has always been an eternal problem.
To the left is death, to the right is destruction.
"Greetings to the ancestors, greetings to the head of the Li family."
Li Weiyi and Zuoqiu Hongting looked like a perfect match, a handsome man and a beautiful woman. They walked into the door one on the left and bowed to each other.
After listening to Li Weiyi's report, Zuo Qiuran also looked solemn. He sat on the rosewood chair and remained silent for a long time.
Li Songgu was moved. "There's a legend that the East China Sea once had no sea. It was the sacred land of the ancient immortals. It was sunk by someone and turned into an inland sea. Could it be that the legend is true?"
Li Weiyi said, "The world below is vast and boundless. Wu Hongling and I have only been active in a very limited area, yet we have encountered ferocious demons like the Qu Ru bird flock. Furthermore, there is likely more than one layer underground."
Then Li Weiyi spoke out about the terrifying dragon roar.
He secretly wondered whether he should tell the story of Pu Yanzi and the Immortal Dragon Vein. Once he did, the Immortal Seeking Pearl, the Book of Earth, and the Two Phoenixes would inevitably be studied.
"The firefly flames and the cracks on the seabed are actually related to the dragon's roar."
Li Songgu looked at Zuo Qiuran: "Du'e Temple, Daogong, and the demon tribe must have noticed something, which is why they haven't excavated it yet. Could it be that the East China Sea demon tribe is deliberately planning something?"
Zuoqiu Ran shook his head slightly. "If they knew the secrets of the seabed, they would definitely keep it secret. Provoking Du'e Temple and Daogong would do them no good. From the sea where Xiao Li fell to the Nine Ring Atoll, it's over 20,000 miles. The underground is too vast to be just the tomb of an ancient immortal dragon."
Li Weiyi said, "There's one more thing I shouldn't mention."
"Hurry up and tell me!" said Li Songgu.
Li Weiyi said, "I found the remains of a sage down there. He left words engraved on the stone wall. The words mentioned the immortal dragon vein."
Li Songgu's scalp suddenly felt numb.
With Zuoqiu Ran's state of mind, he suddenly stood up and asked, "Whose inscription is this?"
"That man calls himself Puyanzi." Li Weiyi said.
Zuoqiu Ran said, "Pu Yanzi, one of the seventy-two sages of Zongsheng Xuehai? He lived in an era even older than Yujia. Rumor has it that he spent his entire life exploring the land, trying to find the dried-up dragon veins of the immortal way."
Li Songgu looked at Zuo Qiuran and whispered, "Isn't this true?"
"Don't even think about it being real. I can't even touch it."
Zuo Qiuran paced back and forth in the light and looked at Li Weiyi: "Does Wu Hongling know about the Immortal Dragon Vein?"
"He probably doesn't know." Li Weiyi said.
"Even if we don't go investigate, Inamiya will definitely go too. Let's hope we don't cause any major chaos. You two...you three, don't reveal a single word about the Immortal Path Dragon Vein to anyone else."
Zuo Qiuran suddenly had a flash of inspiration and disappeared into the room, going to discuss things with someone.
Li Songgu sat down at Zuoqiu Ran's seat, looked at Li Weiyi, and asked, "Why did you kill Huoxin?"
Zuoqiu Hongting was also extremely curious about this question and looked over.
Li Weiyi said calmly, "When the younger generation clashes, life and death are common. I can't allow them to kill me, but I can't kill them."
Li Songgu tapped the table repeatedly with his fingers. "You know that when the younger generation clashes, life and death are common? Do you know that after doing this, if those ruthless characters below the Inamiya Immortal Realm take action, we can only watch?"
Li Weiyi could sense Li Songgu's worry and helplessness, and sighed, "I never thought of killing him in public. This was an accident. Old Li, Wu Hongling already knows that Liu Fengshu is me. I'm afraid Dao Gong will retaliate against the Jiuli tribe next. In the realm of immortality, I will definitely take responsibility for my mistakes."
"But above the Immortal Realm, you must prepare in advance."
Li Songgu's expression eased slightly when he saw Li Weiyi admit his mistake. "As long as you're doing things within the rules, don't feel any burden. They're the ones who are embarrassed. The Dao Palace is supporting the Lingxiao Dao Sect, and they're definitely not just seeking the land of the Ten States. If you give in to them because you're afraid of them, you'll only let them get away with it."
"Since you think you can withstand the revenge of the younger generation of Inamiya, I'll kill you for just a malicious intention!"
Li Weiyi's worries vanished, and he exclaimed in admiration: "Old Li, tough!"
"Why are you so tough? Something happened!" Li Songgu said.
Li Weiyi asked, "What happened?"
…
Li Songgu and Li Weiyi rode on the strange beast carriage and headed towards the seaside.
Li Songgu put on a metal mask and a black robe, transforming himself into the Hidden Lord. "The little girl was just a child and let something slip. Yao Yin was so smart, she got suspicious and went looking for her. The mother and daughter had a big argument and even a fight. Yao Yin's character is tougher than we thought."
"She is soft on the outside but tough on the inside, and she's not a pushover. Where is Yu'er now?" Li Weiyi must be most concerned about the Grand Palace Master.
If she were to be exposed, the consequences would be too serious.
Yin Jun looked at him in surprise. "The biggest problem now is the mother and daughter. The little girl will have someone to take care of her, so we can't treat her badly. Take this first."
Yinjun took out three talismans and handed them to Li Weiyi.
It's three amulets!
"Too many! Do Cangli, Yinjiu and the others have any?"
Li Weiyi knew that the amulets made by the Holy Spirit Master were made of rare materials and it took a lot of materials and time to make one.
The cost is extremely high.
If you sell them, each one is worth millions of Yongquan coins, which is equivalent to a life.
Wu Hongling used a similar talisman when she resisted Li Weiyi's killing calamity.
Yin Jun said, "You are different from them. You can kill Huo Xin and challenge Wu Hong Ling. You have become a leading master below the Lingxiao Shengjing and Changshengjing. You will definitely be given special attention by all forces. The Shenxing Talisman you refined is already of a very high grade, so I won't give it to you!"
Li Weiyi accepted the three amulets and asked again, "Who is taking care of Yu'er?"
"Hidden twenty-four." said Yin Jun.
The carriage stopped beside the magical ship of Du'e Temple. Li Weiyi got off the car alone and prepared to check on Yao Yin's situation first.
After meeting Yao Qingxuan, Yao Yin returned to the Du'eguan ship and never left. Young disciples of the Jiuli tribe and the Jiuli Hidden Sect went to visit him, but were all turned away.
After Li Weiyi gave his name, he was greeted by the brother and sister Chang Yujian and Chang Yuqing.
