Taishan Sect has always been loyal to Daxia since ancient times. Even the various institutions in their sect have official certification from Daxia and enjoy salaries. For example, their Law Enforcement Hall is officially recognized as the Taishan Police Station, and Chen Fazhi is also the director. However, despite this in name, Daxia never intervenes in their internal affairs, and the appointments of various institutions in Taishan Sect are arranged by them.
The reason for this is that the Taishan Sect was officially established from the very beginning. Since the founding of Daxia, they have been guarding the dragon vein of Daxia. The dragon vein mentioned here is a dragon-shaped stone sculpture standing on the top of Mount Tai.
All the successive Xia emperors offered sacrifices to this stone sculpture. The stone sculpture is not very big, and no one knows where it came from, but everyone who gets close to the stone sculpture is conquered by its powerful pressure. Over time, this stone sculpture is revered as the dragon vein of Great Xia.
Under the protection of the dragon veins, Daxia flourished for thousands of years without any disasters. Even after the ancient powers separated the small world, there was still abundant spiritual energy near the dragon veins. Moreover, the laws customized by those powers had no effect on those who had been nurtured by the spiritual veins. They could still live on Earth after growing to the Jindan stage.
Naturally, this matter could not be hidden from the great powers of the small fairy world, but since they did not know exactly what the dragon veins of Mount Tai were, they had studied them for a long time before but found nothing, so they had to leave in disappointment. However, they could not ignore the fact that the laws of heaven and earth were ignored near the dragon veins, otherwise, wouldn't the earth be in chaos?
Therefore, the ancient powers joined forces to set up a large formation near the dragon vein, covering the dragon vein. No one was allowed to approach it, and the formation was only opened once during each sacrifice. Moreover, only one person was allowed to approach the dragon vein, and that was the head of the Taishan Sect who presided over the sacrifice. This was the fundamental reason why the head of the Taishan Sect was able to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage. However, in order to prevent the head of the Taishan Sect from developing evil thoughts under such unrestrained circumstances, which would become uncontrollable in the future, it was stipulated that they must go to the Small Immortal Realm before cultivating to the late Nascent Soul stage.
This went on for thousands of years until 800 years ago, when Zhang Teng was still the head of the Taishan Sect and had just been promoted to the Nascent Soul stage.
An uninvited guest broke into Mount Tai and headed straight for the dragon vein. The Taishan disciples wanted to stop him, but he killed most of them with just a glance. Facing the powerful enemy, Zhang Teng was scared and didn't dare to say another word. He watched him pull up the dragon vein by the roots, swallow it into his stomach, and then disappeared.
From then on, Zhang Teng never recovered. With his level of cultivation, he could have gone to the Lesser Immortal Realm to continue his cultivation. And those powerful people did not intend to blame him for what happened in Mount Tai. After all, that man was too strong.
But Zhang Teng chose to stay on Earth. He was too ashamed to face the ancestors! After passing the position of the head to his disciple, Zhang Teng left. No one knew where he went. In fact, he had been facing the wall in a secret cave on the waist of Mount Tai for many years.
In order to prevent chaos in the world, Emperor Xia forbade the people of Taishan Sect to discuss the matter any more. The sacrificial ceremony held every thirty years was still held as scheduled, but the fortunes of Daxia became worse and worse, and the country almost collapsed several times.
After listening to Zhang Teng's story, Li Mu frowned. Swallowing the laws of the Great Dao alive! Even he, as an Immortal Emperor, had never heard of this. He glanced at Li Yunxi, who also frowned.
"Do you know where that person went later?" Li Yunxi asked.
"I don't know. I had never heard of the thief before that, and there was no news at all after that. It was as if the thief appeared out of thin air in this world and disappeared out of thin air, just like a dream!" Zhang Teng shook his head with a sad face.
"Let's go and take a look!" Li Mu said to Li Yunxi, and then disappeared out of thin air with Li Yunxi. When he reappeared, he was already in a dilapidated open space. This was the location of the dragon vein before.
"It's not wrong, this so-called dragon vein is the law of the Tao!" Li Yunxi felt it silently and frowned.
Li Mu stroked the ground gently, closed his eyes, and began to deduce.
In his mind, the surrounding scenery changed rapidly, the seasons kept changing, and this dilapidated place gradually recovered until the dragon vein once again stood on this flat ground. Li Mu moved the time forward a little bit, and a blurry figure suddenly appeared in front of him, with an unclear face. The disciples of Taishan School were surrounding the blurry figure, and what happened afterwards was similar to what Zhang Teng said.
After the blurry figure swallowed the laws of the Dao, he turned his head towards Li Mu. Li Mu didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt as if he was staring at him. Then he smiled strangely and disappeared.
Li Mu was shocked, and then he asked the fairy world to deduce it again. The result was still the same, and the figure was still blurry.
Li Mu felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart. The things he discovered recently were becoming more and more puzzling to him. He was the Immortal Emperor, controlling the entire universe, but so many things happened on this small earth that he could not understand.
First, the great laws of the earth were missing; then, Yin Ruolan, who died ten thousand years later, appeared on Earth, and then said goodbye to me and I didn't know where she went; my grandfather and great-grandfather were teleported to the fairyland tens of thousands of years later in the Death Valley, and then disappeared again, and I haven't found them yet; then, the alien race that had wreaked havoc on this universe tens of thousands of years later appeared on Earth; today, I discovered that a part of the missing great laws of the earth was actually imprisoned in a dragon-shaped stone sculpture, and then was swallowed by a mysterious person.
He was not very worried about the matter between Yin Ruolan and his two elders. After all, he was sure that they would not be in any danger and would instead get their own opportunities. However, he had no clue about the other matters, as if an invisible hand was controlling everything from behind.
"Is there any connection between the alien Blazing Emperor and the mysterious man? Who is responsible for the missing great laws of the earth?" Li Mu felt a little uneasy.
"What's wrong?" Li Yunxi couldn't help but ask when she saw Li Mu didn't say a word.
"It's nothing. Just leave this matter to me. Let's go!" Li Mu shook his head and did not tell Li Yunxi what he saw. After all, it was useless to tell Li Yunxi about something that he could not even solve. Instead, it would make her worry.
Just as they were about to leave, Zhang Teng also rushed over.
"Excuse me, what have you discovered, senior?" Zhang Teng asked cautiously. From Li Mu's behavior, he knew that Li Mu really had no ill will towards their Taishan Sect, and his cultivation was unfathomable, so he let go of his guard against Li Mu.
"You don't have to blame yourself for this matter. Even if Yu Sheng and others were present, they couldn't stop that man. The road to immortality is long, so you should practice with peace of mind in the future!" Li Mu did not answer Zhang Teng, but said lightly.
"Senior..." When Zhang Teng wanted to say something, Li Mu and the other person had already left.
