Chapter 217 The Erased Information, Mo Yangzi
“what is that?”
A hint of doubt flashed across Lu Yan’s eyes.
Just now, he mobilized the Human Emperor Banner in his body to try to trace the source of the peeping, but he only saw an old man with white hair and beard and a look of horror on his face.
Then the picture collapsed, and the secret feeling of voyeurism quietly dissipated.
Recalling the appearance of the old man in his mind, Lu Yan was sure that he had never seen that old man before. This feeling of being watched came inexplicably, as if the other party was using some magical weapon to perform some kind of spell.
“Are they targeting the other Yuanying-level forces in Jiuyou Immortal City? Or are they targeting the Qingwu Sect that is investigating the cause of Elder Xiao’s death?”
Lu Yan made a guess in his mind.
The supernatural power of merit can cut off cause and effect. Lu Yan, who carries the Human Emperor Banner, is not afraid of the ordinary method of cause and effect deduction.
The old man had an extraordinary bearing and was able to directly lock onto the Human Emperor Banner. He was definitely not an ordinary person, but at least a powerful person in the Nascent Soul stage.
Lu Yan was in direct hostility, and even if he held the Human Emperor Banner and mobilized the army of the underworld, he had little room for resistance. The gap in cultivation level was too huge.
However, the other party tried to trace Lu Yan and finally locked onto the Human Emperor Banner, a magical weapon of heavenly merit that transcends the limitations of the great Dao of heaven and earth. All methods are restricted to the Human Emperor Banner.
In terms of status alone, the Human Emperor Banner even surpasses ordinary divine treasures, but its potential has not been fully stimulated.
Lu Yan can easily trace the source by mobilizing the energy of the Human Emperor and eliminate the lock from the source.
However, what surprised Lu Yan was that the source that the Human Emperor Banner was pursuing this time did not seem to be in this space and time.
At the moment when the Human Emperor’s aura gathered in his eyes and descended across time and space, the time and space that was peeking at the source was disturbed, directly causing the time turbulence to swallow everything.
The reason why the old man was frightened was probably because of the subsequent impact brought about by the backlash of time.
After finding out that this matter had nothing to do with the Xuanpin Gate, Lu Yan felt a little relieved. As for the old man who was trying to trace the Human Emperor Banner, Lu Yan didn’t care.
He has already stood opposite to more than a dozen Yuanying forces of all sizes, and has even become the common enemy of the southern Xinjiang demon clan.
Having one more Nascent Soul trying to track him down wouldn’t cause much trouble.
Lu Yan controlled the escape light and sped towards the base of the Taiyi Sect branch.
At the same time, on the battlefield where Elder Xiao had ambushed and killed Lu Yan.
Zhu Zhenjun still maintained his previous posture, but the Huiguang Mirror in his left hand had completely turned into ashes and dissipated between heaven and earth.
There was still an indelible trace of astonishment and fear on his face, and countless complex emotions intertwined in his heart.
Qing Yi Jin Dan, who was standing by, witnessed the entire process and looked at what was happening in disbelief.
“The Huihui mirror was destroyed?”
“How can this be!!!”
During its heyday, the Huiguang Mirror was a divine treasure, but the meaning it represented was definitely not as simple as that.
Countless cultivators in this world who reach the foundation-building stage must build a foundation for the Tao, and are divided into three categories: heaven, earth, and man.
Building the foundation of humanity is for ordinary cultivators, and building the foundation of earth is almost the limit for genius cultivators. Only those who stir up the world’s situation can use the situation of heaven and earth to complete the foundation of heaven.
Throughout the ages, almost only the ancient immortals could build their foundation with the way of heaven.
Perhaps it can be said another way: only by setting foot on the heavenly path and laying the foundation can one have the opportunity to become an immortal.
The foundation of Heavenly Dao can give birth to Tiangang-level innate magical powers. The Tiangang magical powers directly point to the mysterious and infinite origin of the Dao.
And this Huiguang Mirror was a divine treasure created by the immortal Qingwu who collected the fairy jade from Kunshan ten thousand years ago and used his innate Tiangang great magical power to return wind and fire to transform it. Its grade and magical power far exceeded those of ordinary divine treasures.
The Huiguang Mirror experienced the great war of the Daode Sect thousands of years ago. During the war, the Qingwu Sect’s Huashen Daojun fought against two Daojuns of the same level with the Huiguang Mirror in hand. He relied on the Huiguang Mirror to go back in time several times to turn the situation around.
Eventually, Qingwu Sect’s Daojun Huashen died, and Huiguang Mirror was also damaged by the siege of several Huashen spiritual treasures, losing its ability to attack.
Although it no longer has the power of the Divine Treasure, the Huiguang Mirror still retains the status of the Divine Treasure and can interfere with cause and effect and reverse time. It is a famous treasure of the Qingwu Sect.
He was the one who brought the Huiguang Mirror out. Now that it was destroyed, even though he was a true disciple of the Law Enforcement Hall, he would definitely be punished by the sect.
“It must be the person who killed Elder Xiao who is interfering!”
“Killing Elder Xiao and destroying the Huiguang Mirror, there must be a great conspiracy behind this. We must report this to the sect and ask Daojun Baiyu who is on duty at the sect to take action personally!”
Qing Yi Jin Dan decisively took out the communication sword and prepared to send a message to Qing Wu Sect.
First he distanced himself from the murderer, then he emphasized the murderer’s strength and the importance of tracking him down. Once Huashen Daojun took action personally, the news of the destruction of the Huiguang Mirror seemed relatively insignificant.
After all, it involves the level of transformation of the spirit, so it is normal that he, a mere Jindan cultivator, is powerless.
And just at this moment, a plain voice sounded.
“Stop.”
Qingyi Jindan looked at the person who spoke, and it was Zhu Zhenjun who had recovered from his daze.
For some reason, he seemed to hear a hint of trembling in Zhu Zhenjun’s voice.
“Master Zhu, this is no small matter, we must report it to the sect.”
“I told you to stop!”
Zhu Zhenjun’s scolding was like a loud thunder. He stretched out his right hand and used tremendous magical power to crush the sect’s secret communication sword, leaving behind Qingyi Jindan with a look of astonishment on his face.
As the wielder of the Huiguang Mirror, no one knew what had just happened better than Zhu Zhenjun.
The Huiguang Mirror still retained its main body intact during the battle, which was enough to prove the sturdiness of this divine treasure. Even for the Taoist Master Huashen, it would not be easy to destroy the Huiguang Mirror.
Without the crushing of personal level, it would be absolutely impossible to achieve this.
With just a glance of indifference towards all living beings, he turned the Huiguang Mirror into dust without using any magical powers. This is at least a Taoist master who has mastered special magical powers.
But if it were just this, it wouldn’t have frightened Zhu Zhenjun so much that he wouldn’t even dare to spread the news.
What really frightened Zhu Zhenjun was that before the pair of eyes appeared, a suppressed stone door appeared in the Huiguang Mirror.
After the Huiguang Mirror was destroyed, Zhu Zhenjun tried to restore the details in his memory to find clues to the other party’s identity.
But for some reason, when he recalled the stone door, the information that was clearly imprinted in his memory was constantly disappearing.
From the remaining Taoist charm on the stone gate to the appearance of the stone gate, everything disappeared completely. In just a moment, only the two words “stone gate” remained in Zhu Zhenjun’s memory.
I have completely forgotten the specific concept.
If destroying the Huiguang Mirror can still be considered within the realm of transformation, then the method by which Shimen silently modifies the cognition of a Yuanying Zhenjun and erases his memory can only make Zhenjun Zhu think of one word.
Fairy!
As the Yuanying Zhenjun of Qingwu Sect, Zhu Zhenjun vaguely knows some truths about immortals.
Immortals themselves do not refer to a certain realm of cultivation. The means they possess have transcended the conventional level of cultivation strength and are more like a conceptual existence. Only immortals can quietly modify the memory of a Yuanying Zhenjun.
A mere Jindan elder was actually involved with a suspected immortal being. If he was not careful, he and the Law Enforcement Hall’s patrol fleet might be shattered to pieces.
He must not use the communication sword talisman to expose the matter, he must report to the on-duty Taoist Lord in person!
The soul kept repeating the word “stone gate” in his mind to prevent the memory from disappearing. In order to ensure the accurate transmission of the message, Zhu Zhenjun even gritted his teeth and engraved the word “stone gate” on the spirit platform.
He glanced at Qing Yi Jin Dan with a sharp gaze, and said in a deep voice: “I will personally report the matter here to Bai Yu Dao Jun.”
Qing Yi Jin Dan was startled, and blurted out subconsciously: “What to report?”
Zhu Zhenjun’s thoughts seemed to be briefly stagnant at this moment, and then he frowned slightly and spoke very naturally:
“Of course, I am reporting that Xiao Han’s death involves a suspected case of the God-Transforming Dao Lord.”
His spiritual consciousness passed through his body, and everything seemed normal, except for a few traces left on the spiritual platform due to the destruction of the Huiguang Mirror.
On the spiritual platform, the divine consciousness engraved the crooked words “Shimen”, but Zhu Zhenjun had long lost the ability to recognize these two words.
In his eyes, these two words were no different from normal patterns.
Three days passed in a flash. Although the death of Elder Xiao caused quite a stir in Qingwu Sect, it had no effect on Lu Yan who traveled to the Southern Wilderness.
With the help of the location information obtained in the market, Lu Yan finally arrived at the headquarters of the Mangshan branch of Taiyi Sect on the third day.
From dozens of kilometers away, Lu Yan saw the gate of the branch mountain of Mangshan.
Compared with the magnificent Qingwu Sect’s mountain gate, the mountain gate of the Taiyi Sect’s Mangshan branch can be described as simple.
The mountain range stretched for hundreds of miles, and a layer of dark and evil aura shrouded the peaks. Tombs of various shapes were scattered on both sides of the winding mountain road, and bluestone steps wound up and disappeared in the lingering clouds.
If Lu Yan had not confirmed the identity of Taiyi Sect when he arrived, he would even have thought that this was the excavation site of a large ancient tomb group.
However, as Lu Yan got closer, he gradually began to sense the magical power of Taiyi Sect.
Among these seemingly gloomy mountains, the monks of Taiyi Sect skillfully used the art of Feng Shui to plant several winding dragon veins in this mountain range.
The dragon veins are like invisible giant dragons wandering deep underground. Every time the dragon turns over, the mountains and rivers tremble. The spiritual energy deep in the earth gushes out from the ground following the vibration of the dragon veins.
At the intersection of the meridians, the yin and yang energies intertwined, forming a unique terrain pattern, and unexpectedly gave birth to a vibrant spiritual land in this dead place.
In the center of the tomb complex, carefully arranged Feng Shui layouts were laid out one after another. Strange rocks stood in a forest, and water veins flowed, forming a mysterious map of heaven and earth. A Feng Shui master with profound cultivation directly evolved a mysterious mountain protection formation based on this Feng Shui layout of heaven and earth.
Looking from afar, a faint golden light appears where the dragon vein flows, which contrasts with the eerie ghostly aura of the tombs all over the mountain, creating an immortal atmosphere where nature and man are one.
“It’s just a branch mountain gate, but it can have such an extraordinary atmosphere.
No wonder the name of Taiyi Sect alone could scare Elder Xiao. The eternal and indestructible sect heritage is indeed extraordinary.”
Lu Yan landed outside the mountain gate and began to climb the stairs.
He had only taken a few steps when several monks stepped forward to stop him.
These cultivators are all in the Qi training stage. They are wearing white standard robes and seem to be outer disciples of Taiyi Sect, responsible for patrolling the mountains.
“My fellow Taoist, our Taiyi Sect does not receive outsiders.”
The outer disciple who was at the peak of Qi training level spoke to Lu Yan in a very polite tone.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yan bowed and said:
“I am also a disciple of Taiyi Sect. I came here to return to the sect.”
The outer disciples looked at Lu Yan with a hint of surprise, and then immediately showed a look of respect.
“Does this senior brother have an identity token?”
“I entered in a hurry and did not have an identity token.”
“Which branch do you belong to, brother? Although this place is the headquarters of our Mangshan branch, there are also elders from other branches and factions.”
“It should be the Mangshan lineage.”
In fact, Lu Yan was not clear about which branch he belonged to. Although the urban version of the Archaeological Association was the Taiyi Sect, there were huge differences between different versions and it was impossible to generalize.
“should?”
Several outer disciples looked at Lu Yan with a strange look in their eyes.
Even though Taiyi Sect values good fortune when recruiting disciples, many of the uncles and uncles who left behind the inheritance were not very decent, but they would not be so bad as to not even explain their factions and branches.
The leading outer disciple asked cautiously:
“May I ask, Senior Brother, which uncle or aunt brought you into the sect?”
“Master Chu Zhuoqun.”
Upon hearing this name, all the outer disciples suddenly looked enlightened, and the respect they had shown before was no longer in their eyes when they looked at Lu Yan.
In the team, some people were already talking in low voices.
“How many disciple quotas did Master Chu give out? Unexpectedly, another one came to him. I wonder how many spirit stones he spent.”
“I heard that the other leaders in the sect are very dissatisfied with Master Chu. If Master Chu had not reached the Golden Core Realm before he was a hundred years old, he would have been dismissed from his position long ago, right?”
“So should we just drive this person away or bring him into the sect?”
“Let’s not get involved in the above matters. Just take him up and report to the head immortal. His stay or departure will be decided by the Jindan immortal.”
During a few conversations, Lu Yan became increasingly aware that the Taiyi Sect identity he bought by taking a shortcut in the urban version did not seem to be very popular.
However, this is reasonable. Even if the Mangshan lineage is only a branch, it is still one of the ten major sects of Xuanmen. There are countless geniuses and strong people in the sect, so they naturally look down on those who use backdoors.
Lu Yan did not express any opinion on this. Instead, he was led by an outer disciple into a reception room to rest, and then went to report to the head immortal.
Half an hour later, outside the door of the reception room, a golden elixir pressure fell with a loud bang.
Lu Yan, who was sitting upright on a chair and practicing with his eyes closed, suddenly had a changed expression. He could clearly sense the hostility hidden in this golden elixir’s pressure.
If an ordinary cultivator in the early stage of foundation building were to suddenly face the pressure of a golden elixir while practicing, he might go insane on the spot.
Then a young man wearing a dark robe and with sharp eyes strode into the reception room and asked in a clear voice:
“My name is Mo Yangzi. Are you the traitor that Brother Xiao mentioned who used the name of my Taiyi Sect to deceive people?”
