Chapter 237 Chapter 236 Xu Yuanzhen's Road to Return

Chapter 237 236. Xu Yuanzhen’s return

It has been more than two years since Lin Che, the leader of the Lin Clan in Jiangzhou, returned to the world.

Because of his return, the Jiangzhou Lin clan finally ended its internal strife.

However, during this period, Lin Che and the Jiangzhou Lin Clan had not made any further moves.

In the Tianshi Mansion on Longhu Mountain, Lei Jun and others were not only curious and guessing, but more vigilant.

In addition, the eldest sister Xu Yuanzhen has never returned, and everyone in the Tianshi Mansion has no doubt that Jiangzhou Lin clan's outsiders have other plans, and they first target Xu Yuanzhen who is hanging outside.

Hearing before that Lin Che had returned to the human world and first appeared in the Daheishan area of ​​northern Xinjiang, Lei Jun was wary, so he went to the Sky Book Starry Sky Universe to inquire about the news.

Now that I heard that someone from the Jiangzhou Lin tribe was acting abnormally in the Daheishan area of ​​northern Xinjiang, the first thought in Lei Jun's mind was that there might be a portal to a foreign land there.

The Jiangzhou Lin tribe intends to block the "gate" or destroy the "gate".

Tang Xiaotang was the first to get the news and couldn't sit still: "I'll go to Northern Xinjiang to have a look!"

Before Yuan Mobai could speak, she immediately added: "I will leave the control of the Ten Thousand Fa Sect Altar to my junior uncle along with the Tianshi Sword."

Yuan Mobai sighed softly: "It's better for me to make this trip. The leader affects both the inside and outside of the sect. The situation in northern Xinjiang is still unclear at the moment, so it's not appropriate to take risks personally!"

"Uncle Junior Master, when you went to the Southern Wilderness earlier, the sect was obviously short of manpower to deal with all kinds of affairs. If you have options, it would be better for you to stay in the mountains."

Tang Xiaotang waved his hands, trying to make a sad expression on his face, but he looked like he was eager to give it a try: "Young junior uncle, you have a calm temperament and are not easily disturbed by the outside world, but I, just thinking about the group of people in Jiangzhou who want to murder senior sister, I’m so helpless that I can’t sit still and wish I could help her right away!”

"..." Yuan Mobai said: "I can understand the master's mood, but the more this is the case, the less impatient it is."

Wang Guiyuan didn't squint his eyes. He looked very much in agreement with what his master Yuan Mobai said.

Lei Jun turned his face to the side.

Chu Kun looked down at the ground, and he couldn't bear to look directly at it either.

Senior sister in charge, you actually can’t sit still on the mountain... Chu Kun complained in his heart.

As he received the teachings and his cultivation level increased, although his first priority was his own cultivation and he did not have a clear role in the sect, he also began to observe similar things in the past few years to increase his experience.

Of course, the main reason is the current environment of private ventilation.

Later, when there was a formal discussion with Yao Yuan, Shangguan Ning and other elders, Wang Guiyuan and Chu Kun were not allowed to attend.

As for Tang Xiaotang, he really wasn't worried about Xu Yuanzhen's safety.

However, it was not because she had a bad relationship with Xu Yuanzhen.

A certain new heavenly master has always been full of confidence.

She has the most confidence in herself.

Then there is senior sister Xu Yuanzhen.

So all she can think about right now is going to the Daheishan Mountains in Northern Xinjiang to have fun... No, cross it out, it's about causing trouble for the Lin Clan in Jiangzhou.

At this moment, the ball of light flashed in Lei Jun's mind, once again providing clues to seek good fortune and avoid disaster.

After carefully reading the relevant text, Lei Jun calmed down.

This information confirmed his earlier conjectures and the new information provided by Yueyao.

The Jiangzhou Lin Clan is indeed making moves in the Daheishan Mountains of northern Xinjiang.

And according to the eight words "the foreign land outside the sky, the battle of entry and exit", there may indeed be a portal or path to the foreign land outside the world, and the landing point here is in the northern border.

It was through this portal that Lin Che returned.

The reason why it took two years to take action may be that Lin Che was not in good condition and needed to recuperate. On the other hand, it may be that it was not easy for them to block the door and destroy it. They needed to prepare for the disaster or respond accordingly. treasure.

In the territory of the Youzhou Lin Clan, it is impossible to hide things from the Youzhou Lin Clan.

Although the two forests in the north and south are at odds, they should be in the same camp when it comes to suppressing the Tianshi Mansion.

The current actions of the Jiangzhou Lin Clan are very likely to be helped by the Youzhou Lin Clan.

There are four fortunes, except for the middle lot which is completely ignored, there are two middle and upper lot and one middle and lower lot.

Putting aside the fact that winning the lottery indicates great danger, neither of the two fortunes for the winning lottery is completely safe, but the pros outweigh the disadvantages, so the winning lottery is chosen.

The risks involved also show that the Jiangzhou Lin tribe currently has top masters operating in northern Xinjiang.

This shows how much the other party attaches importance to this trip.

In this case, even if it weren't for Tang Xiaotang, the Tianshi Mansion would probably need another eighth-level master Yuan Mobai to take action.

It's one thing to have confidence in Xu Yuanzhen, but you can't just turn a blind eye.

Of course, it could also be the personnel of the Youzhou Lin Clan.

Therefore, we still have to prevent the Jiangzhou Lin clan from diverting the tiger away from the mountain. Therefore, one of Tang Xiaotang and Yuan Mobai must stay in the ancestral court of the Tianshi Mansion Mountain Gate.

Theoretically, this heavenly master sits at the mountain gate.

But that's just in theory...

It has been more than seven years since Tang Xiaotang took over the position of Heavenly Master.

In the past seven years, she has not taken a step down from Longhu Mountain.

This is the longest time she has spent on the mountain since she started.

To put it bluntly, according to her usual temperament, if she had made a handicap at the beginning, most people would not believe that she would be willing to squat at the mountain gate for so long.

Now, the tigress is really about to emerge...

Well, from a certain perspective, Tang Tianshi was right.

Regardless of their status, among the two of them, Yuan Mobai is more suitable to sit on the mountain, and she is more suitable to go out and work hard.

Especially when she decided not to bring the Heavenly Master Sword with her.

However, this time, people are even more worried about the safety of the dignified Celestial Master.

Although a certain heavenly master himself was very happy.

"Master, on this trip, this disciple will go with the master sister." Lei Jun pondered for a moment and then spoke.

Tang Xiaotang smiled and patted Lei Jun on the shoulder.

Wang Guiyuan sighed softly when he heard this.

Junior Brother Lei is usually indifferent, but inside he is still full of energy and courageous in taking on tasks... A slight wry smile appeared on Wang Guiyuan's face and he looked at Lei Jun.

Yuan Mobai's expression remained unchanged and he looked at Lei Jun: "Chongyun, what do you think?"

Lei Jun: "From the Book of Heaven, I will ask again to see if there is any follow-up news. This matter is related to Senior Sister... The disciple thinks that this may be the key to the contest between the old enemies of our sect and the Jiangzhou Lin Clan. "

"Master, I agree with your opinion." Yuan Mobai nodded lightly.

Wang Guiyuan: "Master, Junior Brother Lei, the new transmission ceremony is only about two months away..."

Tang Xiaotang waved his hand: "Whatever you did when you took over as head of the retreat, just do it as usual when I'm not on the mountain."

Lei Jun: "Master is on the mountain, and you, senior brother, and third junior brother are also here. If I can't make it back in time when I go out this time, I'll ask you to perform the ceremony on my behalf. I'll make up for it when I get back to the mountain."

Tang Xiaotang laughed and jumped up: "That's it!"

Later in the evening, in the Tianshi Palace, Yao Yuan and Shangguan Ning also expressed concern about Tang Xiaotang's coming out of the mountain.

However, when it came to Xu Yuanzhen, they had no better solution.

Shangguan Ning immediately contacted the Tang court imperial family, hoping that the other party would also pay attention to Northern Xinjiang, and could assist or even cooperate with Tang Xiaotang when necessary.

However, the news that Lei Jun was also going to leave the mountain was kept secret, and even Yao Yuan and Shangguan Ning didn't know about it.

On the one hand, it is because of his current cultivation level, and on the other hand, because he leaves the mountain, it means that Tianshi Yin will also leave the mountain again.

Lei Jun announced to the outside world that he would practice in seclusion on Longhu Mountain, and even the errands of the Imperial Book Pavilion were temporarily handed over to the disciples who were on duty.

At his current level of cultivation, this matter is quite ordinary.

With Yuan Mobai helping to cover it up, there is no need to worry about others on the mountain seeing through.

Tang Xiaotang left the mountain first, and Lei Jun did not go with him for the time being, and went out quietly alone.

He went north first, but Tang Xiaotang went to another place.

Lei Jun asked her for help to send Qingyang Xuanshuang to the place agreed upon by him and Yue Yao.

Although there seems to be some discrepancy between the information given by Yueyao and the fortune teller, it is difficult to say for the time being that the other party is working with the Jiangzhou Lin clan to reveal false information about Daheishan to set up a trap for Lei Jun. Therefore, Lei Jun will still use Qingyang Xuanshuang. Give it to the other party and ask the other party to continue to inquire about relevant information.

By then, Tang Xiaotang, who has a higher level of cultivation, can find out the other party's true identity.

Of course, it won't waste much time.

Referring to the fortune telling, the end of November is the time to really see the outcome.

Tang Xiaotang was very interested in similar things, so he immediately took Qingyang Xuanshuang and made this trip.

However, the results were not particularly ideal.

"A little bit, no one was blocked." The tall woman looked sulky: "The only thing I can be sure of is that he is a person who practices Confucianism."

Lei Junru thoughtfully said: "It seems that he is at least a great scholar in the eighth heaven realm. Although he may have asked a master to do it for him, not himself."

Tang Xiaotang snorted: "Go to Northern Xinjiang in time, otherwise I will definitely find out.

Lei Jun: "I believe in your strength, little senior sister, but according to what you said, with the other person's cultivation level, in that case, you should be face to face, and no one's identity can be hidden."

Tang Xiaotang's mind was racing: "You said before that Riyao might know the identities of all of you?"

Lei Jun: "Ninety percent of the time, that's the case. As for what else she can do, I'm not sure yet."

Tang Xiaotang smiled and said: "White Lotus Sect, Shence Army, Tianshi Mansion, plus Confucianism, hey, is it a deliberate arrangement or a coincidence?"

Lei Jun: "I'm leaning toward coincidence now, not Ri Yao's deliberate arrangement."

He changed the topic back: "Senior Sister, the latest news is that there are indeed activities of Jiangzhou Lin people in Northern Xinjiang, but over there in the Daheishan Mountains, it may be just a cover-up to cover our ears."

Telling Tang Xiaotang that there is an ambush may arouse Tang Xiaotang's interest.

After using a false shot as a cover-up, she lost interest: "Huh?"

"In addition to Dahei Mountain, there are two other places where there are traces of people from the Jiangzhou Lin Clan."

Lei Jun continued: "They are Longgu Ridge and Changtian Lake. Before I went out of the mountain, I checked the rough map of the Xiabei Xinjiang area. There is some distance between these two places and Daheishan. We can try to divide our troops into two groups."

From the description of the two winning numbers, there is basically no difference. I am afraid we will only know the specific situation at noon on November 30th.

With such a clear time description, it is basically impossible for one person to pack at the same time.

Even if Tang Xiaotang had a high level of cultivation, he might not be able to do such easy things.

So Lei Jun simply walked aside with Tang Xiaotang and met again later.

Tang Xiaotang heard this and chose one at random: "Then I'll choose Longgu Ridge."

Lei Jun nodded: "Then I will go to Changtian Lake to take a look. According to the information currently available, noon on November 30th will be the key to the time, but the specific situation is unknown. I am not worried about your cultivation strength, little senior sister. But the matter involves a foreign land, so we still need to pay more attention.”

Tang Xiaotang suddenly laughed: "Maybe senior sister came back early?"

Lei Jun also smiled when he heard this: "I hope so too."

But unfortunately, if it is so easy to do as everyone wishes, then it is not Xu Yuanzhen.

Lei Jun and his companions went all the way north, but they never received any news that Xu Yuanzhen had returned to the human world.

As they continued to go north, the climate became colder and colder in the middle of winter.

The scenery of the northern country is already covered with ice and snow.

Lei Jun and his companions have crossed Youzhou and entered the northern territory.

In this area, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and there are more and more monsters.

Ordinary people only live in a very few areas with special climate and environment.

Apart from those areas that are rarely suitable for human survival, other places in the northern border are forbidden areas for most lives.

Even cultivators of middle and low realms may be in danger in such an environment.

When Lei Jun and his companions were halfway through their journey, they separated, one went to Longgu Ridge and the other went to Changtian Lake, leaving Daheishan alone for the time being.

Although Changtian Lake is a famous large lake in the northern border, it is approaching December and the lake surface here has been frozen over a large area.

After Lei Jun arrived at Changtian Lake, he looked around the snow-capped mountains and ice trees, observing them carefully.

Under the triple cover of the wind and thunder talisman, the snake bone, and the Xirang flag, Lei Jun restrained his body and checked around the entire Changtian Lake.

But in this white and cold world, there was no trace of the Jiangzhou Lin clan cultivators, nor any other people.

"Not here, or the time has not come yet?" Lei Jun thought.

According to the fortune, there may be a fourth-grade opportunity hidden here, but there is still time before November 30th, so Lei Jun's mood is calm and patiently waits quietly.

He has always been good at practicing, so even in such an environment, he still practices quietly, breathing silently, and contemplating.

After this period of time of deep practice on Longhu Mountain, Lei Jun has further sorted out and summarized what he has learned throughout his life and condensed it into the Dao Seal.

So far, his practice in the sixth heaven realm can be said to have reached perfection.

On the basis of the Yin-Yang Holy Body, his comprehension was also raised to the level of tranquility. With the help of Chu Kun's immortal spirit seed and his own Heavenly Master Seal, Lei Jun's speed of accumulation and perfection in this realm far exceeded his peers.

However, the Sixth Heaven realm is complete, and it is undoubtedly two different things to have the confidence to overcome the natural chasm between the Sixth Heaven and the Seventh Heaven.

This level is the watershed between the cultivators of the Middle Three Heavens and the Upper Three Heavens.

Since ancient times, countless people have fallen in the natural chasm between the Sixth Heaven and the Seventh Heaven, and there are many amazing talents among them.

In the Heavenly Master Mansion of Longhu Mountain, there are currently the elders of the Sixth Heaven of the previous generation except Lei Jun, Zhang Jingzhen, and Lin Shan.

After years of accumulation, there are naturally people with complete Dao Seals, but they are stuck in the Sixth Heaven realm.

It is precisely because if you take the last step, you may die.

There have been more than one or two precedents before.

Similar things, like drinking water, you know the cold and warm.

As for Lei Jun, he actually has a lot of confidence now.

At the current stage, he is constantly adjusting his body and mind to make his essence, qi, and spirit reach the most perfect peak, and then he will break through the dangerous pass in one fell swoop.

For this kind of practice, you can find a suitable place to practice in seclusion and not care about external affairs, or you can travel around, see the mountains and rivers, and feel the world, and everything will come to fruition in an instant.

Therefore, when Lei Jun came out of the mountain this time, Yuan Mobai and Tang Xiaotang were not worried about him for this reason.

In the way of practice, Lei Jun himself has always been diligent and has his own points.

Lei Jun is currently sitting in the snow-capped mountains by Changtian Lake. The snow is getting thicker and burying him.

And his eyes are closed, as if he is sleeping, blending into nature.

The cold air from the world is constantly absorbed into Lei Jun's body.

Then, these cold airs are transformed into heat flow and circulate in his body.

The alternation of cold and heat also evolves the way of mutual generation and change of yin and yang.

The vast cold air in the northern border, although extremely cold, is not evil.

When Lei Jun refined it, he felt that it contained yang energy. His own practice was more about turning yang into yin, which was constantly interweaving and flowing.

For a moment, the mysteries of heaven and earth filled his heart, giving him a different feeling.

Although the Dao Seal was not hanging above his head at this moment, it was in harmony with Lei Jun's soul and trembled slightly.

His physical and mental state became more and more uplifting.

As time passed, it gradually came to the noon of the last day of November.

In the area of ​​Changtian Lake, it was a day of wind and snow, the sky was dark, and there was no sunlight.

But Lei Jun could feel that it was about to be noon.

He opened his eyes and looked at Changtian Lake in front of him.

The lake was frozen and calm.

There was still no trace of others around.

Until...

"Boom!!"

In the distance, there was a loud sound that shook the earth!

Lei Jun looked in that direction.

The direction of Longgu Ridge.

Was it the other party's work, or Tang Xiaotang's?

Lei Jun was on the top of a snowy mountain by Changtian Lake, looking into the distance, and suddenly saw a hint of gold in the snow.

Although it was all white, the sharp and dazzling golden light was still faintly visible.

The surrounding heaven and earth shook violently.

Lei Jun sat cross-legged in place, but stretched out one hand, pointing his finger diagonally downward in front of him.

On the ground there, a piece of his Heaven-Seeing and Earth-Listening Talisman had been posted long ago.

Through the talisman, Lei Jun could clearly sense that the spiritual energy of the surrounding earth veins was changing dramatically at this moment.

It was as if an angry dragon was rolling underground, rushing out from afar, sneaking in the abyss, and crashing into him.

The "angry dragon" passed through Changtian Lake from underground, and Changtian Lake was not its end point, but continued to extend into the distance.

The snow-capped mountains he passed by shook one after another, and huge avalanches erupted everywhere in an instant.

Under the chaotic spiritual energy, the sky and the earth were surging, and the wind and snow that had originally spread over Changtian Lake were forcibly dispersed at this time.

The sunlight at noon fell from above.

Lei Jun stood up to avoid the impact of the shaking of the snow-capped mountains below him, but did not make any other big moves, and observed the overall changes in Changtian Lake and its surroundings.

The ice surface of Changtian Lake cracked, and the thick ice layer seemed to come alive at this moment, and the ice water rolled back and rushed into the sky.

The sunlight that temporarily fell after the wind and snow dissipated did not bring warmth to people, but instead there was a murderous atmosphere between heaven and earth.

Lei Jun felt something in his heart, and without any hesitation, he took refuge in the Zhenyi Dharma Altar Cave Heaven derived from the Heavenly Master Seal.

At the last moment before leaving, Lei Jun vaguely saw that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was colliding, and at this moment it seemed to tear the space around Changtian Lake apart...

After entering the Zhenyi Altar Cave Heaven, Lei Jun stood in the Dao field in front of the altar, patiently waiting for the turmoil in the outside world to end.

There was no need for him to sense or try to observe it himself.

Because, the turmoil in the outside world even made the Zhenyi Altar Cave Heaven tremble and shake slightly at this moment.

The wind was agitated, the Taoist flags on the altar kept fluttering, and the 49 lights were flickering.

"No wonder that the middle fortune said there would be waves." Lei Jun understood in his heart.

The Heavenly Master Seal is very mysterious. He took refuge in the Zhenyi Altar Cave Heaven, almost exempting the perception of the cultivators in the seventh heaven realm, and even avoiding the threats of some enemies in the eighth heaven.

But if man-made disasters and natural disasters like the current one can disturb the void, they may affect the Zhenyi Altar Cave Heaven and force Lei Jun to be thrown out.

Of course, although the scene is moving, it is not dangerous to that extent.

Lei Jun entered the Zhenyi Altar and came to the top of the third level of the altar. He stepped calmly and practiced the method of stepping on the Gangbu Dou.

The Zhenyi Altar began to flash with light, and the entire cave was much more stable than before.

After a while, the influence of the outside world on the cave began to fade.

Considering the critical time of noon mentioned in the middle and upper divination, Lei Jun did not wait for a moment this time, but left the cave in advance.

The storm in the outside world has not completely subsided, and the tail is still fierce.

In Lei Jun's vision, Changtian Lake and the surrounding snow-capped mountains have completely changed, and the world within a radius of hundreds of miles has almost fallen apart.

The scene in front of him seems to be twisting and intertwining.

As soon as he appeared, Lei Jun felt the void twisting.

Without any hesitation, he immediately received the mixed cave nine lights of the Tianshi robe and added them to his body, while waving the Xirang flag.

Two layers of strong defense, one tough and one long, combined together, successfully protected Lei Jun from being hurt by the void that had not yet ended its distortion.

In the distorted void, Lei Jun vaguely saw a little bit of spiritual light flashing, coming from the ice lake that surged up from below.

As the distortion of the void gradually subsided, the strange spiritual light actually showed signs of dissipating.

This was a treasure that was accidentally born in Changtian Lake due to the abnormal change of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The conditions were indispensable, so it had never existed before. After the spiritual energy of heaven and earth calmed down, this strange treasure would also dissipate, so there was only this moment to collect it, just like a flower that withered as soon as it opened... Lei Jun's mind flashed, and he instantly understood the truth.

At present, the distortion of the void has not yet completely ended. He wanted to get closer to the spiritual light, but he went in the opposite direction and deviated from the direction.

But Lei Jun now has a way.

It is no longer the Xiran Flag.

He has a new "fishing rod" that is more suitable for the current situation.

The nine lights of the mixed hole that were added to his body condensed and turned into a beam. Under Lei Jun's control, he drove his whole body forward. In the void that had not yet ended its distortion, he successfully crossed it and arrived at the expected destination.

When passing through the spiritual light, the nine lights around Lei Jun rolled up and successfully took the spiritual light away.

Under the pressure of the distorted void, the dim light of the Xiran flag suddenly scattered into a ball.

Fortunately, the nine lights of the mixed hole immediately re-added to Lei Jun to protect him.

The opportunity was fleeting.

The distortion of space soon subsided.

The ice water that rushed up against the sky began to fall back.

The sunlight above his head gradually became sparse.

The wind and snow started again, covering a desolate ice lake and snow mountain that could not see the original scenery at all.

Lei Jun landed on the top of the snow mountain, collected the nine lights of the mixed hole and the Xiran flag, and retracted his body.

Looking around, there was silence and no one except himself, so Lei Jun had time to examine the spiritual light.

At this moment, the void has returned to normal, and the spiritual light no longer condenses but disperses, with stars.

At first glance, it looks like a large and nine small round beads, a total of ten. Although they are luminous, the round beads themselves are not transparent and the color is blurred.

[Mother and Child Condensing Yuan Pearl]

Such a name appeared in Lei Jun's mind.

…………

Dahei Mountain.

Lin Che, the elegant head of the Jiangzhou Lin Clan, is serious at this moment, with a deep gaze.

He is also looking at the direction of Longgu Ridge.

Behind him, some Lin Clan monks have ugly faces.

It is because they are worried that there is no wall that is impenetrable and that the news will leak out that they set up a false formation in Dahei Mountain, but in fact set up many ambushes to meet possible potential enemies.

And Longgu Ridge is where they really set up the ritual!

Now Dahei Mountain is fine, but Longgu Ridge has problems.

But... why?

Longgu Ridge is also top secret within the Jiangzhou Lin Clan.

At the moment, many people in Dahei Mountain are not even aware of the situation and are looking at the sudden change in the direction of Longgu Ridge with surprise on their faces.
