Chapter 685 Dead Branches Appear in Yueyang

Although according to Xiao Hei's memory and Chi Jiutou's dying conversation, the demon clan should have successfully evacuated.

However, after all, it was recounted by several people, so it is inevitable that there will be some distortion.

It is better to see it with your own eyes.

If the demon clan, under the leadership of Emperor Yi, can really pass through the Nanming Holy Beast Mountain and break through the sky.

Then it means that the Tianjian Sect at the time had also done this.

Perhaps in the next meteorite fairyland, we can focus on studying how to obtain the forging method of the world-breaking divine weapon.

It can leave a way out for ourselves.

Such secret techniques must be of great interest to both the Ten Thousand Immortals League and the Five Elders Association.

Leyang Prefecture is located in the southwest of the Ten Thousand Immortals League, not too far from the four central states.

There is a large lake in the territory, named Yueyang Lake.

The state is named after the lake.

It is said that at sunrise every day, you can see a magnificent scene of a red sun jumping out from the bottom of the lake. At that moment, the concentration of the sun's energy is far greater than that of other regions. Absorbing and comprehending for a moment is equivalent to several days of hard practice.

Therefore, a group of cultivators gathered on the shore of Yueyang Lake. Moreover, the lake is extremely rich in products. The fish in the lake are affected by the rich solar energy every day, and they also become different from ordinary species. The meat is delicious, and eating it is like swallowing a fire-attributed spiritual stone, and the whole body is warm.

Relying on this large lake, many cultivators with mediocre qualifications can also make rapid progress.

Of course, such a good thing naturally makes people jealous. In order to prevent outsiders from coming to rob resources, the cultivators of Yueyang Prefecture spontaneously formed an alliance. They took over a large area of ​​Yueyang Lake.

The cultivators who came here for the fame of the outside cultivators, if they want to obtain the resources in the lake, can only compete with each other for those areas that have been separated and of inferior quality.

It took more than ten days for Li Fan to enter Leyang Prefecture.

In an instant, he felt several eyes on him.

However, seeing that Li Fan did not fly in the direction of Yueyang Lake, he slowly withdrew his sight of tracking.

Without bothering with these people, Li Fan flew towards Qihong Island.

Qihong Island is located on the bank of Jinsha River, a tributary that flows into Yueyang Lake.

Whenever the sun rises and the solar energy surges over Yueyang Lake, the Jinsha River will also sparkle and shine with golden light.

It is the afterglow of pure solar energy, but for some reason it is tainted with a trace of evil energy and cannot be absorbed by the cultivators.

Therefore, few cultivators come here, and it is considered one of the quieter areas in Yueyang Prefecture.

Ximen Yu's name is quite famous here. It didn't take much effort for Li Fan to find his cave.

Outside, he could be heard shouting from afar: "How many times have I told you that if you want a complete survey of ancient and modern topography, come to Qihong Island to find me. Transmission through the Tianxuan Mirror will be blocked."

"What? You don't believe that such a thing will happen in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance. I lied to you? Are you going to expose me as a liar to others?"

"What..."

After Ximen Yu's angry and abusive voice ended, Li Fan said loudly: "But Taoist Ximen Yu is in person?"

"I am Han Wuyou. I heard of your reputation and came here to visit you!"

"Come in." Ximen Yu's lazy voice came.

The door opened and Li Fan entered the cave.

The place was not big and there was no decoration.

There were only jade slips thrown all over the floor. There were even many paper books and wooden slips.

Li Fan glanced at it and found that there were some unfamiliar words on it.

"Are you here for the Ancient and Modern Mountains and Rivers Examination?" Ximen Yu asked without even raising his head, staring at a dead branch sticking out from the cave floor.

"Yes." Li Fan was also straightforward.

Ximen Yu pointed casually, and a paper book flew out from the messy ground.

"Ten thousand contribution points. It needs to be kept confidential and cannot be resold."

At the same time, a golden light and the book flew in front of Li Fan.

Li Fan smiled, signed the contract, and threw ten top-grade spirit stones over.

For the time being, he put away the Ancient and Modern Mountains and Rivers Examination without reading it carefully.

Li Fan was not in a hurry to leave, but asked with interest: "Why didn't Daoist Ximen use the jade slip to record? Instead, he used this paper book to record it?"

Ximen Yu paused while studying the dead branch. He glanced at Li Fan and said lightly: "The content engraved in the jade slip can generally only be preserved for 10,000 years. If the spiritual energy is lost, this time will be even shorter."

"But using the ink of evil, written on paper made of evergreen trees, it can last for 30,000 to 50,000 years without fading."

"If it is engraved directly on the evergreen wood, it can be clearly seen even after 100,000 years."

Li Fan smiled when he heard this: "Daoyou's thinking is really different from that of ordinary people. He often calculates in tens of thousands of years..."

"After ten thousand years, it is still unknown whether the Xuanhuang Realm will exist or not." Li Fan sighed.

Ximen Yu turned his head suddenly, his eyes solemn.

"Daoyou, what do you mean?"

Li Fan was a little surprised: "It's just a casual feeling. What's wrong?"

"Hmph. Then, you can go." After looking at Li Fan again, Ximen Yu turned his head away and said nothing more.

"See you later!" Li Fan bowed and was about to leave.

"Boom!"

Just as he walked to the door of the cave, he suddenly felt the ground shaking slightly.

A familiar and unfamiliar energy appeared in Li Fan's perception.

Li Fan couldn't help but look back, and saw a yellowish energy bursting out from the dead branch that Ximen Yu was observing.

Ximen Yu seemed to have been waiting for a long time, took out a small white jade bottle, and absorbed all the yellow jets.

The outbreak lasted for half a cup of tea before it slowly subsided.

Ximen Yu looked at the harvest this time and smiled with satisfaction.

"Is this the power of the earth vein?" Li Fan came forward and asked curiously.

Ximen Yu's face changed, and he put away the jade bottle, blocking Li Fan's gaze on the dead branch.

"Daoyou are quite knowledgeable. Yes, I have completed the study of ancient and modern topography, and now I am studying the earth veins."

"It is related to personal privacy, so Daoyou should not ask around." Ximen said in a bad tone.

Li Fan showed a trace of apology on his face: "It's not my intention. It's just that I think Daoyou's dead branch is a little familiar."

"Huh?" Ximen Yu was slightly stunned, and then his face changed slightly. "Daoyou, don't make fun of me!"

"I never tell lies." Li Fan said seriously.

"Once, in Tianlingzhou, I also encountered such a dead branch in the wild. After touching it, I suddenly came to an unknown space."

"A dilapidated tree, standing tall. It makes people feel desolate. Not long after, I woke up from the scene."

"The dead branch in my hand has disappeared, just like a dream."

Li Fan sighed slightly: "Daoyou's dead branch is somewhat similar to what I saw that day. However, it seems a little different..."

The more Ximen Yu listened, the more surprised his face became.

After hearing the last part, he waved his hand to close the door of the cave, and asked in a deep voice: "Daoyou, where did you see the dead branch in Tianlingzhou?"
