Chapter 393 Reminiscence

Gu Zhiping opened his mouth when he heard this, but before he could say anything, a figure descended from the sky beside the two of them, and the light of escape faded, revealing the figure of Di Tao.

"What do you want to see me for?"

The whole process of Di Tao's appearance was silent, without a single sound, like a ghost.

In fact, Zhenluo Cave Mansion had long been secretly monitored by him. As long as Yuan Ming moved a little, someone would immediately report his whereabouts to him. Since Yuan Ming appeared outside the Punishment Hall, which was still hundreds of feet away, he had already locked Yuan Ming with his spiritual sense.

"Uncle Di, may I ask if the ancestors are free now? Regarding the gray-clothed old man, I have important information and must speak to him in person." Yuan Ming didn't care about why Di Tao appeared so quickly, and immediately spoke quickly.

As soon as these words came out, Gu Zhiping's eyes widened, and he looked at Yuan Ming with a complicated look. You know, in the past, even if the masters of each peak wanted to meet the two Yuanying stage ancestors, they couldn't meet them just by saying so, let alone them, the foundation-building stage disciples.

Now Yuan Ming opened his mouth to pay respect to the ancestor, and he said it with confidence.

Di Tao's expression also moved, and he looked at Yuan Ming carefully again for a moment, and then nodded.

Soon, under his leadership, Yuan Ming walked into the ancestral hall located on the main peak of Chaotian Sect alone, and met the Yuanying ancestor of Chaotian Sect face to face for the first time.

In the center of the wide and solemn hall, on a high platform surrounded by two golden banners on the left and right, an old man in a plain Taoist robe and with white hair and beard was sitting cross-legged.

The old man was facing the door with his eyes closed and regulating his breathing. His hands were in front of him, making seals and pinching the Ziwu Jue. A whisk was casually leaning on one shoulder. He looked no different from an ordinary old Taoist priest in a Taoist temple in the secular world.

"Report to the ancestor, Zhen Luo is here." Di Tao bowed to the old man and said.

"Disciple Zhen Luo, pay respect to the ancestor." Yuan Ming said respectfully.

"Although my junior brother is not smart, his talent is unquestionable. He is cautious and his methods are very cruel. You said you accidentally saw him and he was still alive to draw a portrait. Could it be that he has changed his nature?" The old man in Taoist robe turned around and looked at Yuan Ming with a smile.

"Could it be that the junior brother mentioned by the ancestor is..." Yuan Ming pretended not to know and was slightly stunned.

"Hehe, yes, it is the old man who had a secret conversation with your master." The old man in Taoist robe nodded.

"I dare not deceive the ancestor. The disciple does have some unusual methods, but no matter what the disciple does, the heart of wanting to protect the sect remains unchanged." Yuan Ming answered immediately.

The old man in Taoist robe did not say anything, stared at Yuan Ming for a long time, and then slowly nodded.

"Yes, if all the disciples of this sect are like you, I can also close the life and death gate with peace of mind, and don't have to show up for these trivial matters."

Yuan Ming was slightly surprised and felt that the attitude of the ancestor in Taoist robe seemed to be a little different from what he thought.

"I heard from Di Tao, what have you discovered about my useless junior brother?" Before Yuan Ming could think clearly, the old man in Taoist robes asked again.

Hearing this, Yuan Ming nodded immediately and told his long-prepared "performances" about Shen Lingyun and his own guesses.

These "performances" are naturally mostly related to soul cultivation. After all, he is most familiar with soul cultivation. As for whether Shen Lingyun really did it, it is not important, as long as the ancestor can judge Shen Lingyun's soul cultivation identity from it.

Now he is just a foundation building. Facing the Nascent Soul, it is better to tell the truth instead of trying to make up lies. It is more credible.

"...A strange insect that can bring people back to life? A soul cultivator who uses this thing as a body refinement? Could it be that..." The old man in Taoist robes suddenly frowned.

"I was confused before. I didn't know why there were so many traitors in the sect. At first, I thought they were disguised like Tao Wenlong, but now I think that they might have been controlled by the soul cultivator hiding behind them, so they became enemies of the sect." Yuan Ming added.

The Taoist robe old man nodded thoughtfully, but did not speak again.

"By the way, ancestor, this technique was also found in Shen Lingyun's cave not long ago. I didn't dare to read it at that time. I just recorded a small part. Please take a look." Seeing this, Yuan Ming turned his hand and a jade slip appeared in his palm.

The Taoist robe old man waved his hand, and the jade slip fell into his consciousness and swept it, and his expression suddenly changed.

"Di Tao, you go out first." The old man said to Di Tao who was also waiting below.

Di Tao was slightly startled, but he didn't dare to disobey the ancestor's intention. He glanced at Yuan Ming and said goodbye and left.

The old man didn't look at Yuan Ming again, nor did he say anything else. He just moved his lips slightly, but didn't make any sound, as if he was transmitting a message to someone.

Yuan Ming also did not say anything more, but just lowered his head, looked at his nose, looked at his heart, and waited respectfully.

The content in the jade slip was actually excerpted from the beginning of "Huanxin Jue". Although it was incomplete, it was actually a very good soul cultivation method.

Anyway, my goal was to complete Master Shura's task. As for some things, there was no need to be too serious.

Half an incense stick later, a girl in red walked into the hall. It was another Yuanying ancestor of Chaotian Sect.

She looked at Yuan Ming with some curiosity, and then said to the old man in Taoist robes: "Hey, Senior Brother Lu, you really guessed it right. Their souls were indeed tampered with, but it was discovered a little too late. With our means, I am afraid we can't solve it."

"It's a pity. There's no need to keep it. You can go and deal with it." The old man in Taoist robe nodded, his tone as calm as strangling an insect.

Hearing this, the girl in red didn't seem surprised. She nodded and left. At the same time, the old man in Taoist robes also looked at Yuan Ming. Seeing his surprised look, he said slowly:

"Do you think my methods are too cruel?"

"The disciples dare not... It's just the Patriarch. Uncle Shao and the others have contributed a lot to the sect in the past. Now that they have figured out that betrayal was not their original intention, why can't they be imprisoned on the main peak and slowly find a solution?" Yuan Ming considered Words, asked carefully.

"Because they are not just being controlled by others, I am just helping them to escape. Your guess just now is right. There is indeed such a soul cultivator with a high level of cultivation. His soul refining is based on 'Soul Devouring' "Zhi" is the prototype. He became famous five hundred years ago. He once caused all the major sects in the Central Plains to join forces to encircle and suppress him. In the end, he was lucky enough to escape with his life. I didn't expect that today, he would find our Chaotian Sect again. It seems that overseas spiritual treasures are The news was eventually leaked by my stupid junior brother," the old man in Taoist robes said with a sigh.

"Who is the person the Patriarch mentioned?" Yuan Ming asked curiously.

"His real name is unknown. We only know that he calls himself the Venerable Six Desires. His cultivation has reached the middle stage of Yuanying. He has many tricks. The most bizarre one is undoubtedly the 'soul transfer' move." The old man in Taoist robes had memories in his eyes. color, said.

"Soul-eating...soul-eating leech..." Yuan Ming frowned upon hearing this.

"He will split his soul into several leeches as long as little fingers, and after burying them into other people's consciousness, he can not only continuously absorb that person's soul power, but also secretly change his mind, making him become the slave of six desires. The most important thing is that every soul leech can be transformed into the main soul by him. In the past sieges, he has used this trick many times to escape from the trap we set." The old man in Taoist robe recalled that year. The scene showed a trace of fear on his face.

"With such a weird ability, wouldn't it mean that he will never die?" Yuan Ming was surprised and blurted out.

"Haha, there is no immortal person in this world. Even the ancient people who existed in the realm of returning to the virtual world cannot survive the longevity, let alone his mere Nascent Soul. No matter how many divine soul leeches are separated, the longevity is reached. , he will not escape death after all." The old man in Taoist robes smiled bitterly and continued:

"Furthermore, the divine soul leech is connected to its main soul, and the number itself is limited. Not to mention that once it is buried in the soul of another person, it cannot be separated again. And once the host dies, the divine soul leech will also be buried with it, and his own cultivation will also be destroyed. affected to a certain extent.”

"In addition, during the siege, we also discovered that it takes at least ten years for the divine soul leech to regain its main soul cultivation. During this period, as long as one divine soul leech is mastered in advance, the location of other leeches can also be locked through secret methods. "

"It's just that the use of the secret method requires the consumption of soul leeches, and once it is used, it will be noticed, so the efficiency of the roundup is very low, and in the end it can only be left alone." The old man in Taoist robes said with a pity.

As soon as he finished speaking, the girl in red left and returned, but this time, her expression was much more serious. After taking a look at Yuan Ming, she said:

"Senior Brother Lu, we found the traitor's location."

Hearing this, the old man in Taoist robes was silent for a moment, his face becoming more compassionate, and then he sighed quietly:

"...Sigh, after so many years, I didn't expect that Junior Brother would still be so stubborn. Anyway, it's time for me to put an end to the mistakes I made back then."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Ming suddenly heard a harsh sound of breaking porcelain in the hall.

He looked up in surprise and saw that although he was still in the Grandmaster's Hall, the layout of the entire hall had undergone considerable changes.

But the old man in Taoist robes and the girl in red suddenly disappeared, replaced by one old man, two young men, and three unfamiliar-looking Chaotian monks.

They were said to be unfamiliar, but after Yuan Ming observed them carefully for a moment, he discovered that the facial features of the two young monks were vaguely similar to those of the old man in Taoist robes and the junior brother.

"Traitor! Do you know what you have done! Three cities and nearly 100,000 lives, are they worthless in your eyes?"

The old man with a long beard roared and slapped the long table beside him so hard that the tea cups on the table fell off.
