Chapter 2221 Xuanling Cave Heaven

The three of them parted outside the woods.

Huang Risheng went to Qingxu Cave. As the lord of Lin'an City, Shen Biyou couldn't just leave, so he took Liang Yan back to the city.

He had many things to deal with, but Liang Yan was too lazy to get involved and stayed in his cave for a few days.

Five days later, after Shen Biyou had arranged everything, he found Liang Yan and invited him to go to Xuanling Cave with him.

"Haha, I have been looking forward to this day for a long time." Liang Yan smiled slightly.

The two chatted for a few words and then set off together. After leaving the Dao Alliance formation, they could fly in the air, so they both used their escape light and rushed to the Xuanling Cave.

But he said that Dongyun Lingzhou is very different from Antarctic Xianzhou.

Antarctic Immortal Continent is divided into regions based on cultivation forces such as Seven Mountains and Twelve Cities, while Dongyun Lingzhou divides the entire continent into seven pieces based on different landforms.

These seven major areas are: Lingxiao Realm, Cangwu Realm, Xinghanhai, Immortality Realm, Xuanbingyuan, Youmingyuan, and ancient ruins.

Among them, the main altars of the Taoist and Confucian alliances are located in Lingxiao Realm and Cangwu Realm respectively.

According to Shen Biyou's introduction, the Xuanling Cave where they are located and the Qingxu Cave where Huang Risheng is located are both located in the Lingxiao Domain. Only the Yaoguang Cave is special, hanging alone in the Xuanbing Field.

After hearing this, Liang Yan couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

This Yaoguang Cave is the Taoist Alliance's holy land for sword cultivation. Originally, he had hopes that if the two caves were not far apart, it would not be impossible for him to have a chance to experience Taoist swordsmanship.

Now listening to Shen Biyou's description, the Yaoguang Cave and the other two caves are not in the same area at all. Even if there is a teleportation token from the Dao Alliance, it will take three or four years to use the teleportation array all the way.

The Virtual Realm Forum was about to be held, and Liang Yan could not leave for three or four years, so the matter could only be abandoned.

"What a pity." He thought to himself.

On the next road, the two used long-distance teleportation circles four times. The result was the same as Lu Xuanji's, and it took a full year to reach the Lingxiao Realm.

This Lingxiao Domain is also strange. There are rolling mountains everywhere, mixed with white mist, as if they are sitting on the sea of ​​clouds.

According to Shen Biyou, this is the "Lingxiao Baoqi" unique to this world, which can help practitioners concentrate and calm their energy, and is very suitable for the practice of Taoist techniques.

Liang Yan knew this very well.

The seven major regions of Dongyun Lingzhou must each have their own mysteries, but the most precious places should be the Lingxiao Region and Cangwu Realm, otherwise the Taoist and Confucian sects would not set up their headquarters in these two places.

However, the Taoist and Confucian sects are the orthodox of the human race after all, and they will not act too domineeringly. The geographical resources give other sects enough space to develop.

This may also be a rule agreed between Taoism and Confucianism, and no one will break it easily...

Liang Yan and Shen Biyou walked together, admiring the scenery on the road and listening to Shen Biyou's introduction. In just a few months, they had a general understanding of the Lingxiao Realm.

Early that morning, the two came to a mountain range filled with miasma.

"Brother Liu, we are already here." Shen Biyou chuckled.

"oh?"

Liang Yan's eyes showed surprise.

He released his spiritual consciousness and looked around, only to see that this place was a wild mountain range, full of mist, miasma, poisonous insects and beasts, and there was even less spiritual energy. It didn't look like a paradise in the cave.

"Brother Shen, are you joking? The Xuanling Cave is one of the three major caves of the Tao Alliance. How could it be built on such a barren land?" Liang Yan looked unbelievable.

"Brother Liu doesn't know something."

Shen Biyou sighed and said: "The so-called 'Tao follows nature', the most important thing in our Taoist sect is the word fate. People who are not destined are not allowed to enter the Taoist sect. The miasma and poisonous insects and beasts surrounding this place are actually a natural barrier to reject those A monk who pursues the Tao ardently. As the saying goes, "It's hard to find a fairyland, and it's hard to find a good fortune." This vast and desolate mountain is full of dangers, which proves that the Taoism is lofty and unattainable. "

"I see……"

Liang Yan nodded slightly, glanced at Shen Biyou, and suddenly smiled: "Looking at Brother Shen's expression, it seems that he doesn't agree with such rules?"

"So what if you don't agree? This is the rule set by the ancestors. How can we, the younger disciples, question it? Besides, in this world, sometimes it's really hard to tell right from wrong."

"Haha, I see that although Brother Shen's cultivation is high, he is often confused. I'm afraid he has an unresolved knot, right? With all due respect, if this continues, Brother Shen will have difficulty making progress." Liang Yan reminded.

Shen Biyou nodded: "Brother Liu has a sharp eye. This is my problem. I can't rely on external help. I only hope that one day I can figure out the past and present life, and there will be no regrets."

After hearing this, Liang Yan smiled slightly and said no more.

He knew that this matter involved Shen Biyou's secrets. If he continued to talk, regardless of whether it was polite or not, he was afraid that the cause and effect would be too involved and it would be difficult to get out of the situation in the future.

The two turned to other topics, chatting while speeding, and soon went deep into the wild mountains.

This place is indeed dangerous, and it is impossible for monks below the Golden Core level to pass. Even if they have achieved the Golden Core, they must be those with solid skills and good means to pass through the danger.

Liang Yan suddenly became curious: "How do low-level disciples of the Taoist sect come out?"

"Haha, after entering the Xuanling Cave, you can't even think about going down the mountain unless you have reached the Golden Core Realm. If there are special circumstances, you will be escorted out by the elders of the master's sect."

"I see……"

While chatting, the clouds and fog suddenly dispersed in front of them, revealing a clear stream.

The creek gurgled straight into the valley.

Liang Yan took a closer look and found a golden glow above the valley, like a dazzling star, rising and falling in the air.

His consciousness was extremely sharp, and he could see the extraordinary nature of this glow at first glance.

The power of space that is so huge that it is unimaginable is hidden in it. Even with his spiritual consciousness, he can only glimpse the tip of the iceberg. It is like an ordinary person standing in front of the vast ocean, and he can't help but feel a sense of insignificance in his heart.

"If I guessed correctly, this is the Xuanling Cave, right?" Liang Yan asked.

"good."

Shen Biyou smiled slightly, took out a talisman from his sleeve, and burned it with real fire. The green smoke floated into the air, and finally entered the golden clouds.

After a moment, a white rainbow flew out from within the golden clouds, racing across the void, and instantly enveloped the two of them.

Liang Yan was shocked. Before he could react, two clear and turbid qi suddenly appeared around him, and then he couldn't help but rise into the air.

Faced with this out-of-control situation, his instinctive reaction was to activate his magic power to counterattack.

But Shen Biyou laughed at the side and said: "Brother Liu, don't be surprised, this is the divine light that guides us from our Taoist sect. It won't harm you at all. You just need to relax and let this divine light guide us into the Xuanling Cave." "

Liang Yan just reacted instinctively, but now he gradually relaxed after listening to Shen Biyou's words.

The two people soared into the sky, getting smaller and smaller in the white rainbow, and finally turned into blue smoke and entered the interior of Jinxia.

For a moment, Liang Yan felt that the world around him was spinning and all kinds of scenery were changing alternately.

I don’t know how long it took, but the power of the surrounding space gradually stabilized.

When Liang Yan landed on the ground, he saw what a mysterious cave! But the mountains are green, the scenery is strange, the ancient trees are towering all around, and there are waterfalls and springs in the distance. It's like the Milky Way pouring down, with flying beads gradually falling into jade!

Looking around, Taoists in groups of three or three are playing chess in the forest, fishing by the stream, or drinking tea and discussing Taoism in the sea of ​​clouds, all in a leisurely and elegant manner.

The entire Xuanling Cave is like a paradise, without the chaos of the world of cultivation, and there is a sense of leisure everywhere.

Entering this place, even Liang Yan felt peaceful in his heart, and actually had the urge to live in a house here, away from the worldly distractions of the outside world.

"It is indeed one of the three Taoist paradises. It is really eye-opening!" Liang Yan praised sincerely.

Shen Biyou chuckled: "My Xuanling Cave has rules. All monks who enter here for the first time must burn a stick of incense outside Taichu Hall, otherwise they will be expelled. Fellow Taoist follow me to Taichu Hall first, and then I will help you Let’s arrange the cave.”

Liang Yan knew the principle of doing as the Romans do when in the country, so he smiled slightly and said, "I'll listen to Brother Shen's arrangements."

The two flew at low altitude, passing through the rolling mountains and vast woods, and saw a towering giant peak reaching into the sky from a distance.

"That's Daozu Peak. The Taichu Palace is at the top of Daozu Peak."

Shen Biyou pointed to the peak in the distance and introduced to Liang Yan: "Taozu Taichu is the beginning of Tao. Tao gave birth to one, one is Taichu, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things, so Taichu is the beginning of everything. beginning."

"Taozu Taichu...is he the Taoist religion he founded?"

Liang Yan thought to himself and looked far into the distance.

I saw that the mountain peaks were towering and towering, reaching straight into the sky. The rocks were blue-grey, and ancient runes were faintly visible on them, as if they were scrolls of Tao engraved in the heaven and earth.

The top of the mountain is surrounded by auspicious clouds and mist, from which colorful lights shine, like a fairy crown with a crown, solemn and solemn.

No matter how curious Liang Yan was about this Taoist holy land, he did not dare to use his spiritual sense to pry into it. He could only take a look at it from a distance with a look of amazement.

Looking around Daozu Peak, there are hundreds of other peaks.

Although these peaks are also majestic and majestic, they are also amazing fairy mountains to the outside world, but compared with Daozu Peak, they are the difference between fireflies and bright moons.

"Should we go to Daozu Peak to offer incense?" Liang Yan asked.

Shen Biyou shook his head: "Brother Liu, let alone you, even I have never been to Daozu Peak. This is a solemn place and no one can approach it."

"Then let's..."

"We can just go to any nearby mountain to burn incense."

Shen Biyou pointed at the mountains surrounding Daozu Peak and said with a smile: "Each of these 108 peaks has an incense-burning hall. As long as you burn a stick of incense inside, you will be considered to have paid homage to Daozu."

"That's it." Liang Yan suddenly said.

The two of them immediately pressed down the escape light and arrived at the foot of one of the peaks. Then they climbed up along the stone stairs and soon reached the top of the peak.

Sure enough, I saw an incense burning hall, built of incense sandalwood, hundreds of feet high, simple and strange.

Before I even got close, I smelled a faint scent of sandalwood.

Liang Yan followed Shen Biyou into the palace and saw several futons inside, with an old Taoist sitting next to him, who seemed to be responsible for guarding the place.

His cultivation level was only in the Tongxuan realm, but he didn't get up when he saw Shen Biyou. The old god was still sitting there, as if everything had nothing to do with him.

Taoism is a strange and unusual sect, and Liang Yan is not surprised by it.

He glanced around and found that the altar was empty, except for eight large characters carved on the wall, which were exactly:

Hongmeng Kaitian Palm Dao Saint Ancestor!

Next to him, Shen Biyou seemed to have guessed the doubts in his mind and said with a smile: "The statue of Taozu is only found in the main altar. Although we don't have statues in the three caves, we each have a relic of Taozu from the past, which is stored in the three caves. As for the incense-burning halls at the top of the peak, they only enshrine the title."

"Then I can just burn incense and pay homage to the title of Daozu on the wall?" Liang Yan asked.

"Yes."

Shen Biyou nodded and said with a smile: "After paying homage to Daozu, you are also a member of my Xuanling Dongtian. Although you are not a disciple of the Taoist sect, you can also represent our Xuanling Dongtian to attend the virtual realm discussion."

"Okay."

Liang Yan didn't waste any words. He took three sandalwood sticks from the incense table and walked to a cushion.

He was about to bow down when a loud voice came from outside the hall:

"Wait!"

Hearing someone stop him, Liang Yan didn't want to force the incense, so he turned around and wanted to see who it was.

I saw more than a dozen young Taoists file in, and then a middle-aged man walked into the hall with his head held high.

This man was wearing a purple Taoist robe with golden auspicious cloud patterns painted on his cuffs. His eyebrows were firm and his sword eyebrows were slanted. His aura was different from other Taoists and he looked extremely domineering.

Wherever his eyes went, even the air seemed to freeze...

Seeing this man, Shen Biyou frowned slightly, with a hint of obvious disgust in his eyes.

After a moment, he said coldly: "Han Bo, what are you doing?"

The man sneered and shouted: "I should be the one asking you this! Shen Biyou, how dare you sacrifice your personal interests for the public and recruit an outsider to participate in the virtual realm discussion?"

After hearing this, Shen Biyou's face darkened: "I am the leader of this virtual realm discussion. Master asked me to recruit people on my own. What does it have to do with you?"

"Hehe."

Han Bo smiled: "Shen Biyou, Shen Biyou, you just rely on the respect of your uncles and uncles to run rampant in the sect and disregard the rules!"

"Shut up!" Shen Biyou said angrily: "I have always followed the rules in the sect, how can I allow you to slander me?"

"Then why did you recruit an outsider?" Han Bo asked.

Shen Biyou glanced at Liang Yan and said seriously: "Although Brother Liu is an outsider, his magical powers are not weak, and his character, character, and wisdom are all excellent. I recruited him into the team not for personal gain, but for the overall situation of the virtual realm discussion."

"Magic power is not weak?"

Han Bo laughed: "Shen Biyou, do you think I am blind? This person only has the strength to pass the second disaster, and he dares to say that his magical powers are not weak? There are so many famous disciples in the sect that you don't like, but recruit an outsider. Isn't this selfish?"

After these words came out, even the old Taoist who had been dozing off opened his eyes and looked up and down at Liang Yan with some curiosity.

As for Liang Yan, he heard that this cultivator named "Han Bo" might have a conflict with Shen Biyou, and now he is taking the opportunity to cause trouble and come to trouble him...
