Chapter 1152

Confused.

The side entrance to the Burning Sea.

Chu Xuan came here alone, looking at the dark and huge cave entrance, thoughtfully.

"Fellow Daoist Xuan, won't you come in?"

Suddenly, a thick sound like a bell came from inside the cave.

Chu Xuan cupped his hands and said, "Junior Chu Xuan, pay your respects to senior Lei Shan."

Although Patriarch Lei Shan is also a Taoist monk like him.

But after all, it was the ancient emperor who inspired him to transform. In terms of qualifications and achievements, he is older than most of the Taoist monks in the Immortal Alliance.

In terms of seniority, Patriarch Leishan is probably a person of the same generation as Liu Tianzun.

It is not an exaggeration for Henry Chu to call himself a junior in front of him.

Ancestor Lei Shan laughed a few times, but it was like thunder.

After a while, he said, "There is no need to be so humble. The future of the Immortal Alliance is in your hands, not old guys like us."

"What important business does Fellow Daoist Xuan have here?"

Henry Chu said calmly, "I got the key to the Enlightenment Palace."

Ancestor Lei Shan suddenly stopped talking.

After a moment, a bolt of thunder suddenly emerged from the cave and appeared in front of Henry Chu, beating continuously.

It seemed to be guiding Henry Chu forward.

Henry Chu didn’t hesitate and immediately followed.

The road guided by the thunder light seemed familiar at first.

But as we get deeper and deeper into the confusing road, it becomes gradually unfamiliar.

It's like walking into another world.

The voice of Patriarch Lei Shan sounded slowly, "This is a fork in the road of chaos. After the end of the chaotic era, no one has ever walked on this road again."

"You're the first one."

Henry Chu said nothing.

When he knew that the Hall of Enlightenment was under the Confused Road, he had already guessed that there must be a secret in it.

Ancestor Leishan has kept this secret for so long.

Enough to see its importance.

After a while, it seemed like years had passed.

The thunder suddenly stopped and exploded into countless rays of light, lighting up the dark space.

Henry Chu looked up and suddenly there was a door on the rock wall in front of him.

This gate is thick and majestic, soaked in the refinement of time.

Its style is very familiar.

Chu Xuan has already seen similar styles in Youxu and Tianyan Nest.

It is the remains of the Great You Sect’s mountain gate.

The voice of Patriarch Lei Shan sounded again, "Behind this gate is the Hall of Enlightenment."

The voice suddenly stopped.

The light gathers.

Gradually condensed into a human shape.

This man was no more than five feet tall, and his whole body was bursting with lightning.

It is far from the image of the Leishan Ancestor enshrined by the Leishan War Clan.

Chu Xuan clearly remembered that Leishan Patriarch was a tall and strong man, more than two feet tall.

The members of the Leishan War Clan also look like this.

How could Patriarch Leishan end up like this?

Just like a mortal gradually becoming rickety and shrinking in old age.

The old man walked slowly towards Henry Chu and said with a smile, "I know you have a lot of doubts. Let's talk about some things later."

He walked slowly, pacing back and forth, as if recalling long-standing memories.

"Where to begin?"

After a while, he said, "Before the final battle, the emperor found the location of the Enlightenment Hall and fixed it under the confusing road, then entrusted it to six of us old guys."

Henry Chu raised his eyebrows.

Is it a big deal right from the start?

Ancestor Lei Shan continued, "The Hall of Enlightenment is the ruins of the Great You Sect. If it is opened forcefully without a key, many important treasures inside will be destroyed."

"At that time, the Enlightenment Hall can only accommodate one person to enlightenment at most, unlike the Great You Sect, which can accommodate ten people at a time."

"If it really turns out to be the former, the Enlightenment Hall will not only be a bad thing, but will also become the trigger for chaos in the Immortal Alliance."

"The emperor asked me to keep it well and not to reveal it to anyone. This is exactly the reason."

"After all, the Hall of Enlightenment is the place where monks in the middle stage of Hedao realize their destiny. Once it becomes known to everyone, it will inevitably lead to open and covert fights among Hedao monks."

Ancestor Lei Shan sighed, "My father asked me to wait forever until someone with great merit brings the key."

"Xuan Chu, the first time I saw you, I felt that you are definitely not a thing in the pool."

"I used to be the Rock of Thunder Mountain. Although I was not enlightened at that time, I witnessed the rise and fall of countless geniuses."

"Anyone who possesses great merit will surely achieve great power."

"With such merits in your body, you are destined to be among the powerful."

"It is also destined to bring the key to the Enlightenment Palace."

After saying that, Patriarch Leishan smiled, stepped back half a step, and motioned for Henry Chu to open the door.

Henry Chu nodded, took a step forward, and reached out to touch the door.

Said to be a key, it is actually just a spiritual light, it has no real form.

If I have to say it, when Cuixian Ye Qi Ling entrusted the "key" to him, Henry Chu was the key in human form.

If the Enlightenment Hall is to be opened again in the future, Chu Xuan must come in person.

In other words, he can decide who can enter the temple and who cannot enter the temple with just one word.

The door that had been covered in dust for hundreds of thousands of years was like a hibernating bear, suddenly feeling the warmth of spring and slowly waking up.

Buzz.

There was a buzzing sound from inside the gate.

Then, it opened slowly and firmly.

The scene behind the door gradually appeared in front of Henry Chu.

The layout inside the Enlightenment Hall is quite simple.

Ten futons and ten incense burners, that's all.

The rest of the decoration, layout, and sculptures are full of grandeur.

At this time, Leishan Patriarch also walked in. Seeing this scene, he sighed, "I didn't expect the Enlightenment Hall to be like this. I have learned a lot."

"Fellow Daoist Xuan, you are the opener of the Enlightenment Hall and the controller of the key. The Enlightenment Hall will be entrusted to you in the future."

Chu Xuan, "Senior Leishan, come with me to announce this news."

Leishan Patriarch shook his head and chuckled, "I can't go."

"The Emperor entrusted the Enlightenment Hall to the six of us old guys, and now four of them have died of old age."

"Yanshan, Jianshan, Guhe, and Yinhe have all returned to their true nature."

"I am the fifth, but I am also close to the limit."

"After me, it's Binghe."

"From now on, there will be no Leishan."

After that, the lightning all over his body exploded like a last ray of light, dissipating between heaven and earth.

Chu Xuan stood there, motionless.

After a few breaths, ice chips surged from all directions, slowly at first, and in the blink of an eye, they were extremely fast.

Just like a person waking up from sleep.

After a while, the ice shavings condensed into a human form.

Strong and sturdy, with a chilling aura.

Exactly the same as the statue of the Ice River Ancestor worshipped by the Ice River War Clan.

"Hmm... Is it my turn?"

The Ice River Ancestor rubbed his head, as if he had not yet woken up from his long sleep.

He looked at Chu Xuan and waved his hand, "Don't talk yet, let me take a look at the memories left by the five of them."

After another moment, the Ice River Ancestor showed excitement.

"So that's it."

"You are the person of great merit that the Emperor Father mentioned."

"The Enlightenment Hall is finally open."

"Okay, okay! Let's go and announce the news now."

After speaking, he rushed out in a flash, looking anxious.

Chu Xuan scratched his head.

Why does this Ice River Ancestor still seem to be young at heart?
