Chapter 331 Buried in the Sea, Ancestor of the Holy Temple
Chapter 331 Buried in the Sea, Ancestor of the Holy Temple
There are three thousand Jambuvipas outside the universe, but the “number of three thousand” is not a fixed number. There are planes of the world that are constantly being born and destroyed at every moment.
The new world is not mentioned.
Those worlds that were decayed, ruined, or swallowed by the dark sea, except for those that completely perished, almost all “sank” to the bottom of the bottomless abyss called the [Burial Sea].
Even if the plane world is swallowed by the dark sea, there will be some “residues” left behind.
For example, the Houtu Universe, which was once as famous as the Huangtian Universe, was completely destroyed by the invasion of the Youhai, and some of its remains are still sunk to the bottom of the Burial Sea.
This place is called “no man’s land”, which means that the long river of time and the long river of fate do not pass through here.
Anyone who falls here will be frozen in time.
Even Youhai treated this place like a worn-out shoe.
Over the years, there have been many powerful people who have attempted to salvage something from the Buried Sea, but the greatest gain according to relevant records is the “Holy Temple”.
Unlike other True Saint temples, the Holy Temple was not originally established by a True Saint. Instead, the predecessors of the Holy Temple dug out an ancient god of the “True Saint” level from the ruins of the Buried Sea.
After that, the Holy Temple rebuilt the highest altar among all the gods in its own temple and enshrined the ancient god on it.
And this ancient being, who claimed that he had lived a new life with the help of the Holy Temple, was not polite. He just sat on the temple platform, enjoying the incense, calling himself the “Holy Lord”, and even went against the flow of time to become the ancestor of the Holy Temple in every sense.
The appearance of this person also made the Holy Temple a force that could stand shoulder to shoulder with other True Saint temples.
At the same time, a “relic wave” was set off in all realms.
After all, if even a true saint can be dug out, what else can’t be dug out?
……
Luofu world, holy temple.
Located high in the sacred palace.
A pair of brothers sat cross-legged facing each other.
“One good news and one bad news, which one do you want to hear first, senior brother?” the junior brother said with a heavy expression.
He glanced at his junior fellow disciple in charge of the development of the universe, Lu Qingyuan, the current Taoist master of the Holy Temple, and sighed:
“Let’s talk about the bad first.”
“The bad news is that all the people we sent to explore the universe were captured. Currently, Taiyin Temple refuses to exchange with us. They bluntly said that if we send more people to the Seventh Ascension Platform, those disciples will be sacrificed to the gods of the underworld.”
Bai Bushu’s tone was very heavy.
Lu Qingyuan’s eyebrows jumped, and he confirmed again and again: “All the disciples we sent out were captured by Taiyin Palace? Doesn’t Taiyin Palace have no divine ban in this generation? Did the Tianshu Dynasty mobilize its strength? Do you really think that Taiyin Palace can protect them in the future?”
“It’s a celestial being.” Bai Bu Shu corrected, “The remaining heart-shaped and shackle warriors are not worthy of their attention.”
Lu Qingyuan was silent for a moment, then said, “You’d better give me some good news to offset this.”
Bai Bu Shi said seriously: “The good news is that Tiandi Xuanmen was also captured, and was captured earlier than us.”
Lu Qingyuan was silent again for a moment, then sighed, “Have we fallen to the point of comparing our misery?”
“Everyone is the same, so there is no need to worry about someone running away.” Bai Bushu comforted his senior brother.
Lu Qingyuan snorted coldly: “All the same? The fourth and sixth ascension platforms have fallen into the hands of the [Five Virtues Palace] and the [Yin Yang Taoist Palace]! You call this all the same?”
Bai Bushu said unhappily, “Brother, don’t you know what’s going on? They have the Divine Prohibition, what do we have? The Holy Soldier Projection? Or the Guiyuan Formation? Something that everyone has is equivalent to nothing.”
At this point, he slammed the table and stood up, angrily saying:
“My disciple had a good connection. One magical herb could have been exchanged for the divine forbidden person from Yanhuang Federation to clear the obstacles for the seventh ascension platform for us. But when he came back excitedly to report the good news, what did you say?”
“Tell me, what does ‘not one less’ mean?!”
Seeing that his junior fellow apprentice dared to slam the table in front of him and even bring up old scores, Lu Qingyuan became angry and said:
“If you have the guts, go into the temple and yell at our ancestors!”
“Go if you want to!” Bai Bushu flicked his sleeves and strode out of the palace angrily.
As soon as his left foot stepped out of the palace gate, the anger on his face disappeared instantly, and he tiptoed away.
He is not stupid. It would be fine if he just turned his face away from his senior brother, but he went to the temple to turn his face away from the ancestors. Isn’t that asking for trouble?
Especially the one in the temple really smokes.
As for the seventh ascension platform and the like, just don’t blame it on him. If you really want to blame him, then everyone will bring up old scores and no one will have an easy time!
Bai Bushu made up his mind to go find his younger generation named Bai Yuan who had connections with the Yanhuang Federation, and left the Luofu Realm in one step.
After him.
Lu Qingyuan walked out of the palace, looked at the place where Bai Bushu disappeared, snorted coldly, and ran quite fast.
He straightened his clothes and walked into the ancestral temple alone.
In the hall, the air was filled with a hazy smoke from incense. Even Lu Qingyuan was still looking at flowers in the fog, unable to see clearly. He could only vaguely see a towering golden figure sitting cross-legged on the stage.
In the words of this ancestor, this is called a sense of distance.
It will be a disaster if people lose their sense of distance.
If there is no sense of distance between humans and God, then “God” will no longer exist.
“Ancestor, we encountered disasters in the development of the universe. Just as you expected, it was not smooth.” Lu Qingyuan lit three incense sticks and bowed respectfully.
Behind the dense incense smell, someone responded indifferently, with a high and vague voice:
“Qingyuan, what’s the problem?”
It was not until this moment that Lu Qingyuan frowned slightly, realizing that he had been interrupted by that bastard junior brother before, and in the end he did not get to the bottom of the matter.
“The Taiyin Palace has successively captured the Tiandi Xuanmen and all the celestial disciples of our sect.”
“Taiyin Temple?” The figure on the altar suddenly snorted coldly, “I didn’t slap the big man enough back then. A Taiyin dared to go against me. If it wasn’t for the face of the Lord of the Underworld, I would have beaten him to death!”
At this moment, the lofty and otherworldly aura of this person disappeared, replaced by an arrogant and worldly air.
It can also be said to be: quite down-to-earth.
Lu Qingyuan was shocked.
The Lord of the Moon is the True Saint Ancestor of the Moon Palace, and the third person of the Mingxu lineage in the past. Even he was almost beaten to death by his own ancestor…
What is the identity of my ancestor?
Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that our ancestors were just bragging…
According to the records of the Taoist masters of all generations, this kind of situation is not uncommon. The last recorded incident was 470,000 years ago, when the ancestor claimed that he had beaten the Saint King and slapped the Void Emperor. The Wanxiang junior was also promoted by him…
The former is the leader of the Holy King lineage, the latter is the overlord of the Void lineage, and the last one is naturally the Lord of All Things.
Lu Qingyuan was determined in his heart, and asked tentatively: “How about the ancestor go there in person to put pressure on Taiyin Palace and let Taiyin Palace release our disciples?”
“Why are you going?” The old ancestor said dissatisfiedly, “Didn’t I tell you a long time ago that I will never set foot in the land that belongs to the Emperor of Heaven. Whoever wants to go to that unlucky place can go. You can ask Taiyin to come find me and see if I will slap him in the face!”
Lu Qingyuan was silent, and sighed in his heart that he should indeed keep a distance. If he continued like this, even if he knew that his ancestor was a true saint, he would soon lose his respect for his ancestor.
“So now, why don’t we change to another place?” Lu Qingyuan asked, “Even if we don’t occupy the Ascension Platform, we must first gain a foothold, and then consider entering the universe through the Heavenly Road later.”
After a brief silence, the old ancestor on the altar sighed and said, “If Yingqiu were still here, I wouldn’t need to worry about her.”
Lu Qingyuan was helpless. Xi Yingqiu was once a forbidden deity in their holy temple, but was led astray by the devil, so the sect had to kill her for the sake of justice. They announced to the outside world that something went wrong in her cultivation, which led to her madness.
“Grandfather, even if Yingqiu was still alive, she would have already broken through to the celestial being and would not be able to enter the universe.”
Lu Qingyuan took the initiative to interrupt to prevent the topic from becoming too serious.
“Humph, I know.”
He snorted coldly, and then said in a rare serious tone,
“It doesn’t matter if the Seventh Ascension Platform fails. It is close to the resting place of the Nether Ruins. I sent you there just to test the situation of the Nether Ruins.”
“In the end, you useless people didn’t even know how you lost or at whose hands you lost. You really bring shame to me!”
Lu Qingyuan was surprised. The ancestor actually had other arrangements. Was this just a “test”?
This is also bragging.
“In that case, don’t go to the Seventh Ascension Platform to embarrass yourself. I will give you a coordinate. You can find the nearest sky road and then hide secretly. Don’t reveal your whereabouts.”
After receiving the coordinates, Lu Qingyuan’s eyes focused. These coordinates were located across a nebula from the Yanhuang Federation.
“Does the ancestor have any plans for the Yanhuang Federation?” Lu Qingyuan asked.
“I have no interest in this shabby place. This shabby place is more unlucky than the heaven.” The old man on the stage said unceremoniously.
“I never bear grudges in my past life or this life, because I always take revenge on the spot. The only thing I haven’t settled yet is the account with you, Junior Brother Yingqiu.”
“I’m thinking that the most likely place for that guy Wu Zhou to land next is the unlucky place of Yanhuang Federation.”
“Since you little guys are not up to the task and cannot get the Ascension Platform, then go and build an altar for me. I will be able to use it when the time comes.”
Lu Qingyuan calmed his mind and said in a deep voice: “Grandfather, do you think the Four Demons will really descend on the Yanhuang Federation?”
“Hey, those four guys have been quiet for ten thousand years. What do you think they have been staring at during this time?”
The old ancestor sneered,
“Both Xuanji and Tianji sects have calculated that when they descend, it is likely that they will be in their true form. Otherwise, those guys will have nothing better to do than to sign an alliance and unanimously target the Yanhuang Federation?”
Lu Qingyuan looked horrified.
Not a clone, but the real body? !
For example, if the demon Wu Zhou is allowed to enter this realm and merge with the dark sea that is in harmony with the Great Dao, wouldn’t he ascend to heaven in one step? !
No wonder the Saints would target the Yanhuang Federation in such an incredible way!
Lu Qingyuan’s thoughts fluctuated violently, like a raging storm.
“Qingyuan, you are already an adult, why can’t you calm down?”
Across the mist of incense, the old ancestor criticized.
Lu Qingyuan smiled bitterly and said, “Hearing the news that the four demons’ true bodies are about to descend, it is really difficult for disciples to keep their minds steady. If we are not careful, it will be the greatest catastrophe in eternity!”
“The greatest catastrophe in the history of time?” The old ancestor did not comment, and said in a calm tone, “If an enemy comes, we will fight him; if a flood comes, we will block it with earth. What is there to be afraid of? If it really comes, then I will give them a big slap in the face.”
Listening to this person speaking the most down-to-earth words in the most detached tone, Lu Qingyuan’s face twitched slightly.
“Alright, if you have nothing else to do, please leave. Don’t hinder me from enjoying the incense of the people.”
Listening to the old ancestor’s impatient urging, Lu Qingyuan remained silent, bowed and left the ancestral temple.
He slowly walked down the steps outside the temple, his eyes piercing through the empty world, as if he saw the great catastrophe that would come soon.
“A troubled autumn…”
He quickly established a spiritual connection with Bai Bu Shi, and only said one sentence:
“Get back here right now!”
Now that I have been a grandson, it’s time to be a grandfather.
……
……
Jiuzhou, Taiyin Empire, Taiyin Temple.
As one of the three most powerful forces in Jiuzhou, the Taiyin Temple not only has a true saint in charge, but is also the continuation of the Mingxu lineage of the past.
As good news from the front lines of the universe continued to come back, especially the news of the emergence of the main vein of the Netherworld, the Taiyin Temple urgently convened several council meetings.
The topics and trends in the parliament kept changing, representing a change in attitude within the Taiyin Temple.
From the beginning——
“Haha, so what if you’re He Donghuang’s disciple? Don’t you still have to work for us?”
“A young man who is forbidden by the God. We only need him now. When we enter the universe in the future, we can give some favors to the Yanhuang Federation.”
“Well, other disciples are indeed useful. Perhaps we can ask Ji Jingqiu to go deeper into the burial ground and find out the situation of the main vein for us.”
“No – I think we can let him fight for the eighth ascension platform, which is also the territory of our Mingxu lineage!”
“You guys, do you really think that boy is easy to deal with?”
“Haha, if I can’t control him for now, can I control Jiugong?”
“We don’t have time to go to war with Jiugong–“
“It’s okay, he’s just a junior, just scare him.”
Then the circuit turns to——
“Well, no wonder he is valued by the main vein. Elder Ji is indeed extremely powerful and can crush his peers! In the future, he will definitely be higher than us old guys.”
“Although he is a successor, he is also a successor from a different generation after ten thousand years. How can we generalize?”
“Yes, the fact that Elder Ji was given the highest level of treatment by the main vein as an elder of a different surname speaks for itself. No wonder your vision is more accurate than that of the main vein?”
“Tsk tsk, I heard that Elder Ji went to the territory of Tiandi Xuanmen and captured all of them in less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea. He is truly the most powerful person in the world!”
“The situation in the Holy Temple is similar. For Elder Ji, it’s just a matter of convenience.”
Ruoshui, who was sitting in the main seat, watched these guys’ face-changing skills coldly, feeling helpless.
As the highest-ranking elder from outside the main lineage, her status is superior to everyone present except her and is equivalent to the supreme elder.
Although they are elders from other families and have the distinction between distant and close relatives, and have no real power, the real key is that they cannot judge the specific relationship between Ji Jingqiu and the main lineage, so they naturally will not offend him rashly.
“Well, I heard that Elder Ji has something to say to Uncle Yu? I wonder where Uncle Yu is now?”
Some people looked at Ruoshui who was in the first place, and was also the current Palace Master of Taiyin Temple.
Ruoshui said calmly: “Master is in seclusion now, and his clone is traveling around the universe.”
Someone frowned and said, “The clone travels through the universe? Uncle Yu is not afraid of the rules of the universe?”
In the current environment of the universe, even if the Heavenly Venerable Daoist Ancestor cuts off his own clone and falls all the way below the level of a celestial being, he must be careful to be discovered by the will of the universe. If he is not careful, he will be permanently expelled.
“Master has his own way.” Ruoshui didn’t want to go into more depth on this topic.
The female Taoist on the other side said slowly, “This is the first time Elder Ji has asked us to deliver a message to Senior Sister Yu. We should get it to you as soon as possible, or we will be accused of being impolite.”
Ruoshui said coldly: “I know. Also, don’t forget, our lineage has no mortal feud with the Southern Emperor He Donghuang.”
Everyone suddenly fell silent. Many of them frowned, wondering how they could have forgotten about this. They immediately gave up the idea of using Ji Jingqiu to attack the Palace Master’s lineage.
Although he successfully cleared the minds of these old guys, Ruoshui did not feel happy at all. Instead, he felt helpless.
If the master was here, he would definitely not allow her to use the banner she has today…
“According to Elder Ji, the main vein has returned and is active in the universe. Should we try to contact it?”
“No, Elder Ji said that the main vein has not contacted us yet, and there must be a deep meaning. We should first completely occupy the Seventh Ascension Platform. The Holy Temple and the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Gate are gone, and there is also the Heavenly Tree Dynasty next to it.”
“It doesn’t matter. With Elder Ji in charge, the Tianshu Dynasty won’t have any dissenting thoughts.”
“Well… Elder Ji is not on Huangting Star now. Instead, he is looking for wonders in the world and honing his martial arts.”
“Another breakthrough?” Someone looked up in surprise, and for the first time, murmured without any other considerations, “It’s only been a short time, and this person’s breakthrough speed is a bit shocking.”
After the proceedings.
Ruoshui left alone. She did not go deep into the Taoist palace to disturb her master who was in seclusion.
Instead, he tried to contact the Master’s avatar who was still traveling in the universe, and carefully explained the current situation.
Then there was a long silence.
Just as Ruoshui was about to say a few words to comfort her master with a bitter smile, she heard the gnashing teeth of her master’s clone:
“Is the main vein blind?”
“Who gave him the jade identity token?!”
“Where is Ji Jingqiu now? When will he return to Jiuzhou?!”
……
Ji Jingqiu is still on Huangting Star.
After dealing with the Holy Temple and the Mysterious Gate of Heaven and Earth.
He set business targets for all the celestial disciples of the Taiyin Temple and sent them out to help him search for supplies.
