This so-called "underground palace" is really worthy of its name. It is an extremely flat area with a radius of 500 miles in both vertical and horizontal directions. The excavations range from a hundred feet to a thousand feet deep. There are continuous ravines in it, and there are many palaces, row upon row, and the secrets of palm skills can be vaguely seen.
.
If someone with Taoist skills carefully identifies it, they can immediately tell that in this large-scale building complex, only one or two percent of them are real palaces for people to live in. Most of the rest have doors and windows.
They are all carved virtual shapes.
In other words, it is a completely sealed and solid chamber.
As for the hidden doorways, they are not known to outsiders. Even if they are explored with divine will, they cannot be penetrated. Perhaps it is precisely because of the means hidden in these billions of sealed and isolated objects that the Yurong tribe’s unique communication system has been constructed.
.
Directly north of the Underground Palace on Yuanxi, two strange scenes are very eye-catching.
At the edge of the underground palace, in an open space about sixty or seventy miles wide, there were thirty or forty Nascent Soul Realm monks, who were flying back and forth with their swords and swords. They were fighting one after another. These Nascent Soul monks were all very good at cultivation.
.No matter where he is placed, he is a powerful figure.
But compared with other scenes, it is insignificant.
A dark red palace adjacent to it seems to be shrouded in rays of light. The mysterious, sublime, and majestic power of half of the world are all condensed into one. This is obviously more than one Tianxuan Supreme Master gathered inside, and only then can they meet.
The vision produced.
Inside the palace, the sound is clear
"Before I came here, I met the Yuming Demon King of the Yurong tribe by chance. We chatted for a while and asked about the itinerary, but he didn't hide it from me. It is said that the Yin Sect has gathered the power of the demon tribe to stabilize the Yin Yang Cave.
.He is going on this trip to see what he sees. If it goes smoothly, the Yurong clan and the seventy-seven hidden sects will formally unite."
Inside the palace, the walls, beams, pillars, bricks and tiles are all in black, and the area is not very large. However, the twenty Tianxuan Realm people sitting there are enough for people to ignore all external embellishments.
The person who spoke was a middle-aged monk wearing an apricot yellow robe. In fact, his face was very fair, but the stubble on his lower jaw was not all gone, so he looked a little older.
As soon as this person said something, he received many echoes one after another.
"That's right. If our twenty-two sects in Xihuan are connected to the same ground as those seventy-seven families, they should be connected with each other and connect their origins. But now we teach a demon clan to take the lead, but it is too ridiculous."
"After the Holy Cult Ancestral Court established the pattern of the 'Thirty-six Worlds of Heaven', it has been focusing its energy on cultivating the inner wilderness. But not long ago, according to news from the Qingyi tribe, it seems that they have changed their pace.
, once again planning a large-scale expansion. We should stay together and form a joint force, which is also what we should do."
"The plan to form an alliance has been planned for tens of thousands of years. Later, it was accidentally discovered that the Yin-Yang Cave was immortal, so it was postponed. If he really has great magical powers, he can remove this biggest stumbling block, and the two of them will
When families merge, they should go with the flow."
"That's right. Not to mention it's far away. The reason why my twenty-two sects can maintain constant contact is because they rely on the Yurong clan's underground palace. Speaking of this underground palace... To put it bluntly, it seems to be half rented and half borrowed, which is too ridiculous.
, it is not a long-term solution. If all three parties have formed an alliance and are as close to each other as one family, this knot can be solved."
The last words were spoken by an old man with half a piece of green cloth covering his forehead.
His words were not made in general terms, but spoke from the heart of all those present. Compared with the distant "threat to the ancestral home of the Holy Religion", there were more people who felt the same way and spoke in agreement.
Borrowing the Yurong tribe's underground palace formation, the name is not justified, and it has always been a knot in the hearts of various hermit sects. If the three families merge into one, this problem will be eliminated without leaving a trace.
At this time, a cold and solemn voice sounded, "Although a certain person is not talented, he has also carefully studied the way of doing things in the ancestral court of the Holy Religion. The area of the thirty-six realms of Shinto under his command, although it is extremely vast, almost occupies the human era.
half of the country. But its laws are very regular. The thirty-six realms and heavens are all connected in the right place, and there is no enclave."
"Therefore, the so-called Holy Religion's invasion will probably be difficult to reach this land of Xihuan."
When the Holy Cult Ancestral Court was initially deployed in four directions with the help of the "Yin Yang Cave Sky", it was naturally a base area like an isolated island. However, there were obviously hidden rules. After the expansion, it became a continuous area and the situation was complete.
Then someone else said, "That's right. The reason why the Yurong Clan and the Yin Sect unite is because of the 'Destined Tribulation' of the Monster Clan. I, the Human Dao Sect, have no such concerns."
Two people spoke one after another, one was rich and handsome, wearing a white robe with three flowers and three grasses embroidered on his shoulders; the other had no edges and corners on his face, but it was hard to tell what his appearance was, and he only wore a white cloth with three strands on his body.
, barely used as a robe.
When these two people opened their mouths, the situation in the palace was immediately reversed.
The extraordinary weight of the two people can also be identified through several other details.
For a grand gathering like this where all the masters gather together, because everyone is a calm, short-distance cultivator, the most common layout is to sit in a circle, regardless of height. But this is not the case in this hall. There are seven seats on the sapphire stone platform.
It stands across the top and is beyond the standards of the community; but the remaining fifteen seats are arranged randomly and unevenly. It is obvious that there is a difference between high and low.
Two of the top seven seats were vacant, leaving only five people.
However, the purity of these five people's skills is obviously better than those of the others below.
The person who just had his shoulders embroidered with flowers and grass, and the person wrapped in white cloth, are both among the top five seats.
The situation suddenly changed. The old man with a blue cloth forehead, who had previously spoken out in the name of borrowing the underground palace to make an argument, could not help but secretly shake his head.
Looking at this posture, it is exactly the same as thirty years ago.
Thirty years ago, there was also a small meeting of the sects. At that time, the more than ten sects who arrived first, feeling the news of the alliance between the Yin sect, Peacock, and Tianma clans, wanted to come closer. It happened that the Yurong clan and the Yin sect tried to
After getting in touch, several ministers discussed it and sent a messenger along the way. Unexpectedly, this move almost caused an inadvertent mistake.
After all the truths gathered together, the situation took a turn for the worse.
Among the twenty-two sects of Xihuan, Tianxuan Shangzhen, the most important person, expressed his negative attitude either explicitly or covertly. So the matter was shelved.
Just as the seats in the palace show. There are seven seats that are beyond the standards of society. They are not right and have no reason.
In the past thousands of years, among the twenty-two sects of Xihuan, there have been seven Tianxuan Shangzhen who are the most profound in Taoism and the most famous. They are collectively called the "Seven Zhens of the West". Not only in the Human Dao sect, even in the Yurong clan,
Among the Qingyi tribe, he is also considered to be famous.
This old man with a green cloth forehead is named Xia Zuoyong. He was born in the Chiyue Sect. He is a Taoist and has a long history. Among the twenty-two sects in charge, he can be ranked among the top ten. But if he is compared with the "Western Seventh Sect"
Compared with "true", there is obviously a gap.
The two people who just spoke out against each other for the last time, the one with blue and white embroidery on his shoulders is named Li Yuanqing, who was born in the Haicha sect; the one who was wrapped in white cloth is named Zhang Lu, who was born in the Wu Ren sect.
These two people are both characters in the "Seven Truths of the West", so the weight of their words is naturally different.
After two people expressed their opinions, the others were obviously much more cautious when discussing their opinions.
About half an hour later, all the ministers in the palace turned their attention to one person.
This man is dressed in a bright jade robe, and he moves calmly and informally. He clearly has a hidden charm, but people cannot ignore his presence. There is something wonderful about being silent and making his own mistakes.
He is seated to the right of Li Yuanqing and Zhang Lu, so he is naturally one of the "Seven Immortals of the West". However, in terms of purity of merit and strength of Qi, he is still above Li and Zhang. There are twenty people present.
Tianxuan Shangzhen, he is the well-deserved chief.
Red Cauldron Sect, Hong Yang Shangzhen.
Hong Yang Shangzhen thought about it for a long time and finally said, "It may not be a bad thing for all families to form an alliance."
Your Highness, Zhu Zhen, couldn't help but be startled when he heard this.
At the party thirty years ago, Hong Yang Shangzhen actually did not express his attitude.
Everyone was also aware that under the circumstances, remaining silent was actually a kind of implicit opposition.
Could it be that he changed his mind today?
But I heard Hong Yang Shangzhen said leisurely, "Taoism converges and learns from each other's strengths to offset weaknesses. In the long run, this is the general trend. There is only one thing to worry about. In the five branches of the Yin Sect, it is said that there are four Taoist Masters who are currently in charge; and I, Xi Huan,
Among the twenty-two sects, there is no such person. If we join him at this time, his weight will be too light. When the time comes, running around for others will do more harm than good."
"Perhaps one day, a great master of the Tao realm will appear among my twenty-two sects. It will not be too late to discuss this matter at that time. Now, the time is not right."
When Zhu Zhen heard this, some people looked at each other; some people seemed to be in trance; some people had strange expressions on their faces.
Someone robbed the Taoist Master?
That's really slim.
For now, although the "Seven Truths of the Western Land" are famous, if they try to break through to the next level, I am afraid that their hopes are not enough.
But Hong Yang Shangzhen’s words don’t seem to be unreasonable——
He pointed out one thing
If the weight is too light, it will be difficult to gain sufficient benefits.
In addition, the four words "the timing is not right" have another meaning. Although Hong Yang Shangzhen did not say it explicitly, everyone can understand the meaning hidden in the open and covert. At this time, the land of Xihuan is still a free and pure land, and for a while, it is also
It is not necessarily the case that the ancestral court of the Holy Religion will come to kill you; but if you form an alliance with the Yin Sect at this time, it will easily be self-defeating.
At the moment, the Holy Cult and the Hidden Sect are fighting fiercely. It will not be a good thing if they come together to topple the vat.
Xia Zuoyong sighed slightly when he saw this.
He did not agree with Hong Yang Shangzhen's theory.
Perhaps the ancestral court of the Holy Religion will not directly invade the Xihuan realm like the Soaring Snake clan was destroyed. But it would be a big mistake to say that this place is the pure land of Taoyuan that stays away from the incident.
Nowadays, the two human forces have long been inextricably entangled with the demon clan's "Destiny Tribulation". Since the Yurong clan and the Qingyi clan have expressed their attitudes here, it will be difficult for the twenty-two sects to stay alone. If the Holy Cult is interested,
, can always interfere with the situation here, just with different methods.
As for why the "Seven Truths of Western Land" and most people have different opinions, in fact, Hong Yang has already made it clear in his true words; it just needs to be heard from a different angle.
For people like Li Yuanqing and Zhang Lu, if the human Tribulation Heavenly Lord does not come out, the rest of the people encountered, no matter whether they are human cultivators or demon kings, will be able to conquer the world, and no one will be afraid of them. Especially Hong Yang Shangzhen, who said "Mighty"
"Shocking an entire region" is not an exaggeration.
As the saying goes, it is better to be a chicken head than a phoenix tail. Such an outstanding person naturally does not want to be controlled by others.
However, Xia Zuoyong and others did not have this thought. In their hearts, they wanted to enjoy the shade under the big tree and wanted to get close to the Yin Sect.
At this delicate moment, a cyclone suddenly formed in the palace, and in the blink of an eye, an additional figure appeared.
After everyone saw this person's face clearly, they all greeted him one after another. No one among the five people present was sloppy.
This man was wearing a broad robe and a long belt. He looked about forty years old and wore a silver-haired shawl. After bowing briefly to the other monks, he took one of the two remaining seats on the table.
Looking at the prosperity of his Qi, his Zhao Zhao Mu Mu, and Xuan Xiang Yu Ming, he is indeed far beyond the rest of the world. Only Hong Yangshang in the palace can really rival it.
Master Hong Yang said solemnly, "Fellow Taoist Qingping, I wonder what you have to say?"
The person who came here is also one of the "Seven True People of the West", the head of the Yuan Sect. This person's real name is Wei Rui, but because he calls himself "Qing Pingzi", people who know each other usually don't call him by his first name. .
Wei Rui Shangzhen seemed to be a very cheerful person, and immediately said, "Of course I don't want to."
Li Yuanqing and Zhang Lu couldn't help but smile when they heard this.
I have always heard that Qingpingzi is wandering around in the clouds and wild cranes, unfettered. It is rare to see her, and her name is indeed true.
Although there are seven people in the "Seven Trues of the Western Land", only five of them usually get together. "Yuanmen" Qingpingzi, and "Canmen" Xu Xian Shangzhen, often have supernatural powers that appear first but not at the end, and are not in line with the other true beings. .But the two of them have very high merits and have a very important status.
Among the seven truths, there are also distinctions between superior and inferior ones. Hong Yang Shang Zhen, Qing Ping Zi, and Xu Xian Shang Zhen are obviously higher than the other four.
Since the alliance matter is very important, both Qing Pingzi and Xu Xian Shangzhen were summoned one after another in advance, so they will definitely not miss today's discussion.
Although Qing Pingzi arrived a little late today, she still arrived as promised.
Unexpectedly, Qing Pingzi said again, "I don't want to go back, but I'm afraid the move to form an alliance is inevitable."
He suddenly made a 180-degree turn, and everyone in the palace was caught off guard. Especially when Li Yuanqing was about to echo his words just now, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed and a little unhappy in his heart.
Hong Yang Shangzhen couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and couldn't help but ask, "Dare you ask the reason?"
Qing Pingzi took out a two-foot-tall jade wine bottle from her sleeve and uncorked it. The aroma of wine immediately overflowed, almost overwhelming the delicate air in the palace.
Qing Pingzi took two sips and then said, "The opportunity for my disciple's enlightenment fell on someone else, and I can't do anything about it. Our 'Yuanmen' inheritance is different from other families; the mantle is passed down from generation to generation, which is the sect."
In fact, Wei Rui Shangzhen still has one trouble in his heart, that is, after Jiang Minyi found that person, he almost regarded him as a god in his heart. Even after the battle in the Yin and Yang Cave that day, the romance spread all over the world, he is such a fool He neither cared nor was jealous, and was calm and considerate of himself, which made Wei Rui, who cherished his beloved disciple, secretly shake his head.
But it was destined that the person was Jiang Minyi's "bell-lifter", so he naturally had to accept this reality.
"Friend Qingping's words are very much in line with my wishes."
At this time, another faint voice fell, and another person appeared in the hall. Although he was not an uninvited guest, he was unexpected after all. What's more, this person did not stay, and his breath disappeared, and he was already sitting on the remaining empty seats.
Although his appearance is ordinary, his air of self-restraint and self-respect is almost as real as it is, but it appears naturally.
Since you are sitting at this table, your identity will be known without asking.
He was wearing a dark green robe that stretched three feet to the floor, but he was not constrained by red tape. He flicked his sleeves and smiled calmly at Qing Pingzi and said, "However, Taoist Qingping has done something for his disciples and the inheritance of the sect. Xu Xian admires him very much;
He is not talented, he is just doing it for his own benefit, and he is very ashamed."
Qing Pingzi was originally an indifferent and unruly person, but now her eyes suddenly sharpened, and Qingyun loomed behind her, almost as if she was facing an enemy.
Xia Zuoyong and others in the palace were very excited when they saw that Xu Xian Shangzhen had arrived unexpectedly and agreed with Qing Pingzi's opinion. As a result, two of the three most important people actually agreed to the alliance, and the trend was clear.
reverse.
But since these two people agreed, why did Qing Pingzi look so tense?
Looking up again, I saw the seven people sitting there. Hong Yangshang's expression was also very strange, and he couldn't express happiness, joy, or anger.
At this time, Qingpingzi's thoughts were far away.
He, Hong Yang, and Xu Xian can be said to stand on equal footing, and their achievements are basically between brothers.
Decades ago, he went to the Yin Sect and his party. He tried his methods with the top Yin Sect Yao Chun, Gu Yi, Lu Kang, Yue Xiang and Gantang Zongquan Shangzhen. He had an astonishing artistic talent, but he didn't even do it.
Luo Luofeng. It can be seen from this that the first three of the "Seven True Masters of the West" are indeed the top figures in the Tianxuan Realm.
But when I saw you today...
The first impression Xu Xian Shangzhen gave him was obviously slightly different from the past. For a moment, Qingpingzi had an inexplicable thought of retreating in his mind. It seemed that the person in front of him had a deep, thick, and high Taoism.
Bo, go one step further where there is nothing more to gain, and clearly beat yourself.
"For myself..."
"For myself..."
Hong Yang Shangzhen whispered again and again, and said quietly, "Congratulations, fellow Taoist."
Xu Xian Shangzhen waved his hands repeatedly and said, "I was lucky enough to have a great opportunity, and I just saw a small gap in the heavenly gate. If it is calculated, it will be slim in the end. Congratulations, it is too early to say."
"However, in order to make this line possible to increase by one or two points, it is imperative to get the jade from the Fatta Mountain and the help of the sages."
Although his words were calm and humble, the conclusive meaning in them was almost as solid as iron and could not be shaken.
Hong Yang couldn't help but feel silent.
He could no longer speak out to object; because the biggest reason he had raised in his previous objections had already been answered by Suxian Shangma.
What's more, no one dares to accept the cause and effect that prevents people from becoming enlightened.
