Chapter 1404: The Xiao Family's Secret

At this moment, after listening to Yan Ruyu slowly finish her words, Xiao Chen also fell into deep thought. There are not many records about the ancient lotus in ancient books. It is impossible to determine that the ancient lotus is in the God and Demon Mountains. He can't let Taoist Qingdeng do this.

If it were other things, he wouldn't have to do it himself, but the matter of the ancient lotus was of great importance and could not be neglected. Except for himself, he didn't trust anyone to do it.

Although Tianshang Renjian has taken shape now, and he is also regarded as a fairy master by the four forces, these are not important compared to saving Weiyang.

"So, you plan to go there in person?"

Yan Ruyu looked at him. After a while, Xiao Chen raised his head and looked at her and said, "Otherwise, the Palace Master will do this for me."

Hearing this, Yan Ruyu was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly shook her hand and retreated. "Forget it... Let alone the Fenglin Patriarch who won't let me pass, even if he does, I am just a little girl, why would I run to such a scary place for no reason..."

"That's right."

Xiao Chen stood up and walked out of the hall, saying, "I don't want to wait until I come back for the Youxu Heaven to change again."

"Don't worry, this time, the Youxu Heaven will definitely not change again..."

Yan Ruyu stood behind, watching his figure gradually going away, and she didn't know whether he was really going to a scary place like the God and Demon Mountains?

It is said that the former Demon Great Emperor, Blood Hand Tathagata... these legendary figures from ten thousand years ago all fell in the God and Demon Mountains. Just thinking about it made her feel terrified, not to mention going to that horrible place in person.

...

That night, the wind was clear and the moon was bright. Xiao Chen coaxed Xian'er to sleep before going to the courtyard outside. He saw the breeze blowing the leaves, the shadows of the trees swaying, and the sound of insects constantly coming from the grass in the corner.

Until this moment, Xiao Chen was still thinking about what Yan Ruyu had told him during the day, and what he had said to Xiao Meng'er that day.

How strong a person is, how big a world he can see. Thinking back to the past, when he was just a little Xuanqing disciple, how could he see such a vast world now?

The world is infinite, and those outsiders who have long escaped from reincarnation, what kind of world do they see?

Xiao Chen took a deep breath and looked up at the sky full of stars. Even though he had entered the realm of the strong, this "realm of the strong" was only relative, not absolute.

Among his peers and in the eyes of the cultivators in the four directions of the immortal world, he was naturally a strong man, but if one day he could take a step up and pass through the high clouds, perhaps he would see a stronger world.

Just like the sky full of stars he saw when he looked up at this moment, how could he know that these stars in the sky were actually the brilliance emitted by the stars billions of years ago, and perhaps now, these stars have already fallen.

The strong are also like this. Where are those legendary strong men ten thousand years ago, tens of millions of years ago? Have they also fallen like the stars in the sky, but their brilliance is still seen by the world.

"I'll be waiting for you for ten thousand years at the top of Kunlun..."

Suddenly, the female voice that seemed to come from the ancient times sounded in his ears again.

"Ugh..." Xiao Chen suddenly felt a splitting headache. Who? Who was it? It was the woman in the layers of ice...

After a long while, the strange feeling slowly disappeared. The sky was still clear and bright, the shadows of the trees were still dancing on the ground, and there were constant sounds of insects coming from the corners of the wall, as if nothing had happened just now.

Xiao Chen slowly calmed down. The Xuanpu that had been frozen for thousands of years, no one had ever been able to go up to it, but why could he always hear the voice of the woman in the ice?

Maybe, it was just an illusion...

He slowly walked out of the courtyard, thinking about the matter of the ancient lotus. Now that he was in the seventh realm, it was almost difficult for him to have an opponent, unless he was a master who was only one step away from entering the eighth realm.

And he also knew very well that if he met an eighth realm master, even if he was only in the early eighth realm, with his current cultivation, he would never be his opponent.

There is a huge gap between the eighth realm and the seventh realm. When a cultivator of the seventh realm meets a cultivator of the eighth realm, it is like a cultivator of the foundation building stage meeting a cultivator of the Nascent Soul stage. There is almost no chance of winning unless he uses Dugu Tianxia's divine body.

This time, he must act carefully. The ancient fairyland is so big and there are so many powerful people hidden in it. It is definitely not what he sees. Maybe when he appears with Dugu Tianxia's divine body, he can see a stronger world, but that is not his power after all.

So this time, he decided to cooperate with Xiao Meng'er. It must be better than him going alone to such a terrifying place as the God and Demon Mountains. Even if he encounters danger, Xiao Meng'er's lotus platform can take him out.

"God and Demon Mountains?"

A few days later, Xiao Meng'er came to Youxu Palace from outside. When she heard that he was going to such a dangerous place, she couldn't help but frowned. She thought that last time he said not to investigate the matter of the fairyland cutting off the connection with the human world, how come he was going to such a dangerous place like the God and Demon Mountains in a blink of an eye?

Although she had only been in the Ancient Immortal Realm for a short time, she knew what it was. Not to mention the two of them, even some masters who had already entered the Eighth Realm would never dare to easily step into the God and Demon Mountains unless there was something important.

"Yes."

Xiao Chen looked at the lotus in the pond, turned around, and said to her, "According to the information Yan Ruyu brought back, the ancient lotus is very likely to have fallen in the area of ​​the God and Demon Mountains, and..."

At this point, he paused and thought carefully before continuing, "And these late nights, when I look at the sky in the north, visions appear from time to time. I can't help but think of the last time I was in Penglai, where the rain and dew in the fairyland were condensed. At that time, there was a similar phenomenon..."

Xiao Meng'er listened quietly and was silent. After a while, Xiao Chen continued, "If the records in the ancient books are true, then this lotus seed fell in the Gods and Demons Mountains, and now it coincides with the surge of spiritual energy in the ancient immortal world." , encountering thousands of years of changes... then that lotus seed is very likely to condense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth just like the rain and dew in the immortal world. It will definitely attract strange phenomena from heaven and earth, and maybe it will attract many practitioners in the immortal world to flock to it. …Of course, all this is just my speculation, and you have to go there to know.”

After hearing this, Xiao Meng'er did not express any immediate reaction. Of course, she did not dare to enter the Gods and Demons Mountain Range, Huangquan Valley, and Fengyuntian. She could go there, so why should she be afraid of the Gods and Demons Mountains in the ancient immortal world? It's just that the word cooperation must be beneficial to both parties, then it can be called cooperation.

Xiao Chen could naturally see what she was thinking, and said, "If something happens to you, just say it."

At this moment, Xiao Meng'er's eyebrows were furrowed. Until now, she still didn't know whether she should completely trust the person in front of her.

Xiao Chen could certainly see the worries in her heart. He pointed his finger and laid a layer of soundproof barrier around the pavilion and waterside pavilion. He said, "What happened today is known to heaven and earth. You know it and I know it." "

Finally, Xiao Meng'er slowly relaxed her eyebrows, looked at him and said, "Do you know why I came to the Ancient Immortal Realm this time?"

"Oh?" Xiao Chen's eyes narrowed slightly and he said, "I would like to hear the details."

Xiao Meng'er took a deep breath, walked to the pavilion, looked at the carp swimming gently in the pond, and said, "Many years ago, the Xiao family was the most powerful family among the six aristocratic families, but this Is there anything in this world that can last forever? At that time, an ancestor of the Xiao family had already considered the current situation, so he spent his whole life to condense an ancestral spiritual line for the Xiao family. But now, this ancestral spiritual line It’s almost exhausted…”

"So your purpose of coming to the ancient immortal world this time is to find a suitable spiritual vein in the immortal world and introduce spiritual power into the Xiao family's profound realm to maintain this ancestral spiritual vein of the Xiao family?"

Xiao Chen looked at her motionless. At this moment, he remembered that when they first met in Huangquan Valley, no wonder she wanted to compete with him for the power of spiritual veins.

Xiao Meng'er said, "It's just one of them."

"oh?"

Xiao Chen's eyes narrowed slightly and said, "You continue."

At this moment, the expression on Xiao Meng'er's face gradually became serious, and she said, "Perhaps few people know today that more than three thousand years ago, people from all over the world fought to seize the Xiao family's ancestral spiritual line. They once joined forces to attack, and the Xiao family was almost in danger. Fortunately, with the help of a goddess from heaven, they were able to repel the powerful enemy and save the Xiao family from disaster..."

"oh?"

At this moment, Xiao Chen listened carefully, but he never thought that the Xiao family had gone through so many hardships.

I just heard Xiao Meng'er sigh, "In the clan at that time, if there was a person with peerless attainments like our ancestors, they would never dare to attack us from all over the world."

When she finished speaking, she raised her head, looked at Xiao Chen and said, "But all these things have become a thing of the past. Now the Xiao family no longer mentions them. Even many younger generations don't even know that these things still exist. They have never mentioned it again." When you are born, you have good food and clothing, and there are many things that you have never thought about..."

Xiao Chen said, "Then why are you telling me this today?"

Xiao Meng'er shook her head, looked at him and said, "That's not what I want to tell you."

"what is that?"

Xiao Chen frowned, not knowing what she wanted to say.

After a while, I saw Xiao Meng'er walking slowly to the other side of the pavilion and looking at the lotus flowers in the pond. At this moment, her face seemed to suddenly become very solemn, and she said word by word, "It was more than six hundred years ago." , the Xiao family has a peerless talent..."
