Landing at the foot of Xiaoyao Peak, Xu Yang and the others quickly found the entrance to a valley filled with fairy light. They moved closer in that direction, but soon discovered that it was impossible to fly in this place, and it was a true no-fly zone!

This proves that this valley area is protected by extremely powerful Dao-level prohibitions!

“Hey!

This breath…” Without waiting for Xu Yang and the others to react, Xiaotian, who was originally the quietest around them, suddenly broke away from Bai Lianxue’s embrace and ran into the valley following this breath like flying.

Xu Yang and the others were worried that the girl might do something rash and get into danger, so they quickly followed her from behind. They soon saw a huge rock that was likely to be countless years old lying across the middle of the valley.

At this time, the little girl Xiaotian just looked at the stone quietly, and went forward to touch it gently.

"I can feel that the old Taoist's aura is exactly the same as yours!

What on earth is going on? "

There was a gleam of crystal in Xiaotian's bright eyes, which stunned everyone on the scene.

Finally, a green light slowly emerged from the boulder and really condensed into the outline of an old man, who caressed Xiaotian's body lovingly. Although it was just a virtual caress, Xiaotian could still feel the presence of that breath.

"It's really you, Taoist Priest!

!”

Xiaotian looked up and saw that kind face. He was so excited that he shed tears and hugged the old man tightly. The happiness in his heart was beyond words.

You know, Xiaotian is usually very aloof even in Xu Yang's team. Except for Bai Lianxue and Xiao Tuantuan, sometimes he even dares to ignore Xu Yang. After all, they have the qualifications, and it is understandable that he is a little unconventional.

But now, this girl seems to have completely turned into a well-behaved little girl, acting coquettishly in her grandfather's arms, and no longer has the slightest bit of the fairy spirit of the nine-petaled tree.

"Little girl, you've grown up!

Hundreds of thousands of years really just passed in the blink of an eye..." Everyone was horrified, staring at the old man in front of them who was only in the form of a soul with incredible eyes, and they were so shocked that they couldn't speak at all.

You know, no matter how powerful the ordinary human cultivators are, their souls cannot last for too long without a physical body. But this green soul light in front of him can stay here for hundreds of thousands of years just by relying on a huge rock. This is a bit too scary!

"Grandpa Taoist, can you tell me why you are like this now?"

The old man smiled kindly, "Because I still have a mission to accomplish, I must guard here. My mortal body is no longer enough for me to complete this mission, so I can only entrust my soul to this ancient stone, so that I can continue to guard outside this valley. But without my physical body, I can no longer move, and I have not been able to visit you in these years."

At this moment, even a genius like Xu Yang couldn't help but nod his head repeatedly in shock.

The so-called meritorious service to nature might be used to describe this old man...

Perhaps sensing a special aura fluctuation from a certain gaze, the old man slowly turned around and locked his attention on Xu Yang at first sight.

“The heart of the near road?

good.

Xiaotian girl, are these people all your friends?"

Xiaotian pouted and wanted to say something, but he could only sigh and nodded: "Just barely."

"Hahaha……

If this is true, then my mission may not be far from completion.

You all came here to enter the tomb, right?"

Xu Yang pondered for a moment and nodded, not forgetting to bow to the old man and clasp his hands: "Senior, may I ask if there was a group of people from Northern Jin who came here before?"

The old man still looked smiling and kind, but this time he did not give Xu Yang a positive response.

“To be honest with you, my friends, this burial mound is a Taoist temple of the Xiaoyao Dao Sect. The Supreme Master of the Dao Sect has issued an order that all cultivators who want to enter here will be subject to life and death, and will not be obstructed. If you can come out alive, you will be qualified to become the honored guests of the Xiaoyao Dao Sect and do whatever you want to do later.

If you don't want to take this risk, just leave now. If you force your way into the mountain, you will face devastating consequences."

The old man never showed the slightest bit of sharpness from beginning to end. He really looked like a simple old man, as if even a gust of wind could blow away his soul.

But Xu Yang and the others all understood that this mysterious old man was probably one of the most terrifying beings in the world...

If nothing else, the soul can live for hundreds of thousands of years if it is perfectly placed on a stone!

How can such a level of achievement be imagined by ordinary people?

"It seems that the waters of Xiaoyao Dao Sect are much deeper than we imagined...

Although the senior is unwilling to tell us the specific news, since we are here, wouldn't it be a pity if we don't go in and take a look?"

Xu Yang turned around and looked at the people in front of him: "This place is quite dangerous, it is not suitable for everyone to enter together. If you are not careful, you may end up dead.

If you are willing to stay, I believe that with the protection of this senior, you will be able to survive even if you encounter Tuoba Yun and others."

"have to!

Boss, our lives were saved by you and the Empress. If it weren't for you, we would have died in the East China Sea before. No matter what, you can't take the risk by yourself this time. Besides, this place is so dangerous, it must hide great opportunities. Aren't you preventing us from seeking opportunities?

Hahaha!"

Long Kun used such a reason to stop Xu Yang, which made him laugh and cry.

Of course Xu Yang understood that this guy, like the others, decided to follow him because he was worried about him. The so-called not allowing them to seek opportunities was just a joke from Long Kun.

But if you think about it from another perspective, are you really qualified to decide the fate of others?

A truly qualified leader should lead everyone together and have the ability to protect everyone in times of danger. This is what he should do!

"Perhaps what you said is right. What I want to do is to provide you with shelter and support when you need it, instead of closing the door that could change your destiny right from the start.

In this case, we will go through mountains of swords and seas of fire together!"

This time, everyone's eyes were shining, not for the opportunity, but because Xu Yang's words completely ignited the burning passion in their hearts.

From beginning to end, the old man kept staring at Xu Yang, never taking his attention away from him for a moment. Only after hearing Xu Yang say these words did he finally reveal a satisfied smile.

“Hundreds of thousands of years of waiting may really come to an end in the near future.

This boy named Xu Yang is truly a man of heaven."
