Chapter 319 The Failed Heavenly Dao Festival
In fact, after seeing Ji You suppress the elder of Lingjian Mountain with one sword, many things seemed to be explained.
For example, why was Xiang Fu able to enter the inner courtyard, and why was he seated at the main table in the Youxian Club.
Even more, why the five major immortal sects did not move at all.
The higher a person's combat power, the greater the impact he can cause and the deeper his foundation. Even the Immortal Sect cannot kill him quietly and will treat him with caution.
At this moment, different images emerged in everyone's mind.
There was Elder Fang's words "forget it" in the wind and snow, and there was also Fang Jincheng's hasty escape from Zuixian Tower.
"His combat power..."
"It seems that he did gain something from his trip to the Holy Land of the Ancient Sages. He may even have gained the most."
He Long thought of how he and everyone else divided Fengzhou at the Juxian Banquet, and his heart trembled.
As arrogant as he was then, he is as scared now.
When they heard the four words "at most", everyone couldn't help but look at the twin descendants of the Chen family. They saw Chen Luo and Chen Xi, who were wearing gold-embroidered fairy clothes, also looking at Ji You.
At the beginning, they thought that these two disciples gained the most.
As they watched, they suddenly remembered something.
When they left the Holy Land of the Sages, everyone was saying that Ji You had not made any progress, and rumors spread all over the world, but only these two direct disciples remained silent.
Even when someone went to verify it, these two people did not say a word.
Now that I think about it, those people on the outskirts of the holy land only saw the surface.
Only Chen Luo, who was in the center of the holy land with Ji You, truly saw something from him, which is why he remained silent.
"This year, the Tianshu Academy has recruited a disciple in Fengzhou. He is a man who has reached the perfection of the lower three realms and was admitted as an exception before he even reached the age of twenty."
"Private cultivation in the countryside is just an incident..."
In the evening, the morning glow filled the sky red, and Ji You and Cao Jinsong left the observation tower.
Lu Hanyan's injuries were not too serious, but after waking up, she looked at Ji You with a little cry.
Then comes the final.
The magnificent spiritual energy continued to collide, and the attack of magic was like the roar of a tiger.
Ji You has been in Tianshu Academy for many years and has offended all the immortal cultivation families he could. Therefore, not only Yan Hao, but other families also want to take advantage of the confrontation to teach him a lesson.
After all, many of the disciples sent by Tianshu Academy to this Immortal Tour were closely related to him.
But after the appearance of the Dao sword that pierced through the barrier, everyone gave up the idea. Under its shock, no one dared to move, and even the disciples of Tianshu Academy were held back.
Being powerful is terrifying, but being powerful without regard for the rules is even more terrifying...
As one battle after another continued, everyone's thoughts were drawn back to the participating cultivators.
Ji You's move was indeed shocking, but the rumor had been circulating for half a year, so everyone was still mentally prepared.
However, the outrageous young disciples of the Immortal Sect, who were at a high level, made them even more silent.
It is not surprising that a few of the sons of genius appear in a generation, but they have never heard of such a sudden emergence of such people.
"That elder Chen Feng..."
"Chen Feng?"
"Two years ago, I met him a few times. At that time, he was only at the initial stage of Yingtian Realm, but when I see him again today, he has reached the level of nobility. It's really shocking..."
The cultivation in the five higher realms becomes increasingly difficult as one progresses, and many people even waste the rest of their lives in a certain realm.
But they had never heard of such a sudden breakthrough.
But even if some people vaguely began to feel that this matter was unusual, they didn't know where to start.
Even the non-celestial sect disciples, who had been in the inner sect for many years, were filled with doubts and felt puzzled when faced with the rapid progress in the cultivation of their junior brothers and sisters.
After the finals, the East Courtyard where Tianshu Academy was located was silent.
Fairy Zhengxin failed to make it to the end. Although Xiao Hanyan barely got a spot in the Heavenly Dao Festival, he was also seriously injured.
As for Yu Shiliu, Wang Gaocen and others, they were defeated in the third round and remained silent while drinking tea.
They also lost at the Tiandao Conference that year, but the feeling this time was particularly different.
Even though they were defeated that year, they were still considered rare geniuses, but just because of this, they vaguely felt that they were about to be drowned in the crowd.
There are too many people who are younger than them but at a similar level, and they all feel that they are no longer special.
"What went wrong..."
"Could it be that there really is a way to ascend to heaven in one step..."
Xiao Hanyan began to fall into self-doubt, muttering to himself while holding the porcelain cup in his hand.
On the eve of the beginning of summer, the sky was filled with red clouds.
Countless carriages and sedan chairs sped along the Rihua Avenue, and the spiritual energy they pulled gathered into a river, weaving a silver-blue curtain under the dome, rushing towards the gradually gloomy west.
After crossing a dense forest, everyone arrived at the extremely large human altar.
Looking from afar, the altar is surrounded by high walls that reach into the sky, showing its height and grandeur to the surroundings in the gradually falling night.
Ji You also came with the carriage and got off in front of the crowded high wall.
The magnificent bronze gate was now open. He glanced at the two words "Ganmen" above the doorway, then walked into the dark doorway and went upwards.
Following behind him were Cao Jinsong, Wen Zhengxin and Ban Yangshu, a group of four.
The Lu sisters actually wanted to come with them, especially Lu Hanyan, but they were finally dragged to Kunmen by Lu Xiong and his wife.
It is no rumor that he has a feud with the five major immortal sects. Even though his combat power is extremely amazing, it is still not a suitable choice for others to get too close to him.
Fortunately, ever since Ji You sat down at the main table of the Immortal Sect and killed Elder Ling Jianshan with his sword, Lu Xiong and his wife never mentioned the matter of arranging a marriage for them again.
At this time, Ji You climbed up the tall city wall surrounding the altar in the strong wind.
Looking down from a high place, one can see that the altar is high in the middle and low around, like an upside-down jade bowl, engraved with countless intricate patterns, connected by lines, like a star map.
"Is this the human race's altar?"
"Yes, when the altar is lit, the immortal light will resonate with the Heavenly Dao. When the immortal cultivator enters a state of meditation here, there is a chance that their Dao heart will resonate with the Heavenly Dao."
"What are the odds?"
Cao Jinsong shook his head after hearing this: "That depends on the cultivator himself."
Ji You turned his head and glanced at the instructor: "Look at your own talent?"
"Look at the Dao Heart. After thousands of years of rising to the sky, there are many people who are not talented but whose Dao Heart caters to the Heavenly Dao. After the Heavenly Dao Festival, they gain a lot, just like they have awakened their minds and climbed all the way to higher heights."
"I see."
As they were talking, figures began to appear in the four people's sight.
More than a hundred people who won prizes at the Fairy Touring Meeting entered one after another, and then began to sit along the center of the altar. Soon, the central area was filled.
Then an old man wearing a straw robe and with his face painted with oil paint came to the center and sat cross-legged with them.
This is the old priest who has been passed down from generation to generation in the human altar. When the altar is opened, the old priest will enter into meditation with them and guide their souls through chanting.
After all, the Heavenly Dao is as vast as the sea and extremely mysterious. Without guidance, they are very likely to be immersed in the Heavenly Dao and never be able to return.
So the role played by this old priest is that of an anchor.
As night slowly fell, stars began to appear in the sky.
Immortal cultivators stood on the eight city walls, all around, constantly staring at the center, as if waiting for something.
Some of the young people had been in seclusion at home before and had never participated in the Immortal Tour. Seeing this scene, they couldn't help but feel puzzled and thought, that's it.
In their opinion, the Heavenly Dao Sacrifice should be grand and grand, not so calm.
But just as they were confused, they suddenly felt a whistling sword energy rising up, and a slender figure rushed into the sky.
The young master of Lingjian Mountain was dressed in luxurious immortal robes and had a glazed immortal crown on her head. In the blink of an eye, she stood high in the sky, like a goddess soaring in the air, with an immortal look and posture.
The human altar cannot be opened by ordinary people. Instead, it requires the permission of the holder and is guided by the origin of the holy weapon.
Over the years, the seven major immortal sects have taken turns presiding over the altar, and now it is the turn of Lingjian Mountain.
High in the sky, the little mirror master, shrouded in fairy light, gently opened his hand, and a stone mirror floated up in his palm. In an instant, a majestic and vast aura filled the altar.
Then, a ray of fairy light shot out from the spiritual mirror in her hand and fell into the center of the altar.
In an instant, the entire altar seemed to be on fire, and endless fairy light burst out from the intricate patterns.
The little master of Observation opened her red lips slightly and muttered something silently, and the fairy light began to surge into the sky and gathered on her whole body, and then rushed straight into the sky with a wave of her hand.
Looking at this scene, there was a hint of awe in everyone's eyes.
The Immortal Traveling Society met too many talented Taoists.
Seventeen-year-old Tongxuan and twenty-five-year-old Rongdao were deeply shocked.
But it was not until this moment that they suddenly remembered that the young master of Lingjian Mountain, who had mastered the mysteries of the universe at the age of ten and had reached infinity at the age of twenty-two, was the most brilliant one, and even Ji You, who had an eccentric fighting ability, could not compare to him.
And now, seeing her holding the sacred weapon, summoning the fairy light and drawing the light from the sky, he was even more shocked.
On Kunmen, Cao Jinsong, Ban Yangshu and Wen Zhengxin were also looking up, staring blankly at the master of the imperial examination with his celestial appearance, and then they couldn't help but look at Ji You with dazed expressions.
Such a fairy actually came from the family of his evil disciple.
Who can I go to for justice?
As the immortal light shot up into the sky, the altar was awakened, and the spirit slowly disappeared in the sky. At the same time, the moving figure also flew away.
At this time, everyone in Lingjian Mountain was standing at the direction of Zhenmen, eagerly awaiting the return of their own master, but after waiting for a long time, no one showed up.
Seeing this scene, Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu couldn't help but look at each other, thinking that the owner of the appraisal might have gone to look for her husband again.
It turns out that what they thought was right.
Cao Jinsong and the other two turned their heads to look towards the west. In their sight, the little Jianzhu who had just held the weapon in the air had now landed on the city wall on their side, his immortal robe fluttering in the wind.
The arrogant little master is a bit clingy.
Wen Zhengxin muttered something silently, and when he came to his senses, he found that Ji You was gone. When he came to his senses again, the figure of the young master Jian had also disappeared.
On the high tower on the west side of the altar, Yan Shuyi sat on the edge of the tower, looking at the rising fairy light. Suddenly, she turned her head to look at Ji You and found that the strange man had been staring at her.
"Little disciple of the Heavenly Academy, why are you always looking at me?"
"Nothing, but when I thought about the one in the sky just now, who belongs to me, I felt like I got a great deal."
Ji You murmured and reached out to pinch her cold and arrogant cheek.
Yan Shuyi has been in a bad mood these days. The cold and arrogant empress’s character is very stable, but when she heard Ji You say that she is from his family, she did not refute: "Do you know that before coming to the human race altar, the big figures of each sect had already left."
"Return to the clan?"
"I went to several other ruins that have not yet been opened."
Ji You frowned slightly after hearing this, thinking that it was no wonder that he hadn't seen any direct disciples along the way. "He didn't even participate in the Heavenly Dao Festival and went to the ruins. He was too eager."
Yan Shuyi gazed at the constantly floating immortal light and opened his red lips softly, "The effects of the Dao Fruit have surprised the Immortal Sect and are naturally eager to take action. The elders of Lingjian Mountain are also eager to take action, including the Xuanjian Peak where I sit."
"So you're going back to the mountain?"
"The opening of the ruins is a major event. Although Yan Zhong is still the head of Lingjian Mountain, he can't make decisions without me. But if I don't return to the mountain, that will be a different situation."
Ji You peeled the sunflower seeds and handed them to his mouth.
Yan Shuyi opened his mouth and ate it, then glanced at him lightly: "I want another one."
"I fed you yesterday but you didn't eat."
Ji You peeled a piece and fed it to Yan Shuyi, but suddenly he noticed that Yan Shuyi narrowed his eyes, with a fierce murderous intent.
Well, it wasn’t the Lingkuizi that I wanted to feed her yesterday.
The young master ate the spiritual sunflower seed on his fingertip with his mouth and said, "Kuang Cheng and the others are still on the mountain. Why don't you return to the mountain with me and stay there to be my personal disciple."
That would really make me a traitor to my master. I can't say that even if I want to take my husband back to the mountain.
Ji You glanced at her and said, "I've been practicing and listening to music all the way, and investigating the ruins. I haven't been back to Fengzhou for a long time. I have to go back first and then look for you."
"Going back to Fengzhou?"
"I cultivated spiritual seedlings in Fengzhou during the spring plowing season. I think the harvest is coming soon. I'll go back and take a look. Also, the news that the five major immortal sects have joined forces to hunt me has spread throughout the world. Many people are ready to make a move on Fengzhou. If I don't show up, I'm afraid those immortal villages in Fengzhou will have new ideas."
Ji You had said at the beginning that if the Relic Fruit was not a disaster, he would no longer care about this matter.
At this time, his mind had returned to Fengzhou and farming.
If the spiritual seedlings are successfully cultivated, some taxes can be earned back from the immortal sect, making money while making life better for people in the world.
Yan Shuyi was chewing the lingkui seeds lightly at this time, gently stroking his lower abdomen, and at the same time turned his head to look at Ji You coldly.
Although no words were spoken, the subtext was obvious.
The disciples of the small Tianshu Academy are not very capable. They have been here for many days but still haven't made this person pregnant.
The next second, with the sound of a crisp "slap", Yan Shuyi, who had been spanked, narrowed his eyes and looked around: "Back off."
Ji You looked at her: "How about leaving tonight?"
"?"
"Regarding the Dan Sect matter, I killed five Wujiang elders. The five major immortal sects may not let it go. They are leaving now, and I'm afraid there will be an ambush. I can't leave with Lao Cao and the others, so I plan to go around Lingzhou and then return from Qingzhou."
Yan Shuyi glanced at him after hearing this and said, "Although we are not familiar with each other, you have done a lot for me regarding the ruins. I can take you with me."
Ji Youxin said, "If I didn't see you were reluctant to leave, would I go around to Lingzhou and come back?" So he raised his hand gently.
However, when he saw Yan Shuyi motionless and constantly glancing at his hand, he did not put it down.
The arrogant little master Jian, wouldn’t he also like being spanked?
Ji You leaned over and gently kissed the little mouth that he met every day. As a result, he was bitten and the tip of his tongue was almost bitten off. So he relaxed and walked towards the city.
Seeing this, Yan Shu followed suit...
The Master's carriage was parked in the fairy garden. The two men did not go to take it, but hired a carriage to leave Rihua County and head south along the Wujiang River.
The trip passed through the Great Wilderness Forest. After arriving, the two took another look and found that except for the guards, no one was entering or leaving the forest.
In other words, except for the difficult-to-enter center of the Great Wilderness Forest Ruins, the other areas should have been hollowed out.
Liangzhou is not too far from Lingzhou. Once you pass the Great Wilderness Forest, you will have crossed the border.
After entering the country, they arrived at Biran City in the north of Lingzhou and stopped at the branch of Zhujian Pavilion.
Ji You damaged a lot of spiritual swords in the battle of Danshan, so he bought a lot of them here.
The development of Fengzhou made him a lot of money. He was no longer as short of money as before, and he became more generous. He even bought some useless ornaments for the arrogant ghost.
Then the two parted ways in Biran City, one continued to travel south, and the other took a detour to Qingzhou.
Yan Shuyi was the only one left in the speeding carriage, and the atmosphere suddenly became silent.
However, the arrogant Little Master Jian naturally would not show such emotions. He had been in a peaceful state of meditation, as if he was just saying goodbye to an insignificant person.
But not long after she entered into meditation, she suddenly opened her eyes, and her beautiful phoenix eyes narrowed slightly.
She was so busy walking with the strange man that she remembered that she seemed to have forgotten to bring two maids, and Ruru who was following the two maids.
At the same time, many aristocratic families in Rihua City also set off one after another, traveling south and north.
In this year's Immortal Tour, these noble families lost miserably, and only a few of them got the chance to participate in the Heavenly Dao Festival. Naturally, they were not willing to stay any longer.
After returning home, the loser was unwilling to give up and continued to practice hard.
Some people who were injured began to recuperate.
When the Immortal Tour Conference is mentioned, some people are still discussing the many geniuses of the Immortal Sects who emerged this time, and they feel confused.
On the night of the Beginning of Summer, in Rihua County, at the human altar.
The immortal light surged for many days, swaying like a sacred fire that never goes out all year round. In the central area, pairs of eyes gradually opened.
Not long after, Xiao Hanyan also opened her eyes, looking dazed.
There is no feedback from the heavens, not even a sense of immersion.
Could it be that the heart of Tao is not in harmony with the Way of Heaven?
She had already been deeply traumatized by this Immortal Tour. Now that she could not get any feedback from Heaven, it was even more difficult for her to calm her mind.
She didn't understand why she had been regarded as a genius for more than twenty years and had always been considered a candidate for the Palace Master's personal disciple in the academy, but suddenly one day she was inferior to others in every aspect.
In the dark night, in the altar where immortal light surged, Xiao Hanyan covered his chest with his hands. His heart was in turmoil, and the desires that had been suppressed for years because of his cultivation began to recur, so that anger gradually took over his heart.
But at this moment, she followed the fairy light and observed the situation of the people around her, but suddenly found that in the dark night, the high priest with his face painted with oil paint also had his eyes open, and his eyes were slightly stunned.
Because she knew that the priest's responsibility was to pull the cultivators who received feedback out of it, to prevent them from becoming corrupted due to immersion.
Among these hundreds of people, even if only one person is in harmony with the Way of Heaven, he must enter into meditation with that person.
Could it be that no one here is in harmony with the Way of Heaven?
Xiao Hanyan stood up and looked around, only to find that those who had not yet opened their eyes also had frowns on their brows.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Hanyan looked back at the high priest and found that the other party seemed to be trembling all the time.
Since ancient times, the ancestors of the human race have built an altar here, established a priest position, awakened their spirits, and presided over the Heavenly Dao sacrifices for generations. There has been no exception in thousands of years.
But no one knew that the old priest had already discovered something was wrong the moment the Tiandao Sacrifice began.
He could not see the sky, nor could he feel the guidance of heaven.
He even felt an involuntary palpitation in his heart when he sang the sacrificial song.
But he didn't dare say it and had been pretending for several days.
Because for so many years, their clan has relied on the duty of sacrifice to remain above the world, and they cannot let others know that they are useless.
The high priest looked up at the sky at this time. For the first time in his life, he no longer felt that it was bright, but instead felt that it was as bottomless as a whirlpool.
Because the priests were silent, and it was common for them to fail to get feedback, not many people in the human altar noticed anything was wrong.
At the same time, on the west side of Qingzhou Ancient Stone Official Road.
Ji You held a long sword and shuttled through the dark forest. The hot breath turned the falling rain into white mist, and he walked away on the mountain.
Ahead of its pursuit, a demon with scarlet eyes was running wildly in the mountain stream...
