The night was silent, so quiet that it made one feel uneasy, thinking about everything.
The Moon Pavilion remains as usual. Even though many forces have come overtly or covertly, they have not broken the silence on this side.
The valley to the west of Tianyue Pavilion was originally a quiet place, where the sect's execution hall was located, which was specially designed to enforce the sect's laws and deal with disciples who violated the precepts.
In the main hall of the execution hall, the law enforcement elder Bai Shiji has an old face, white beard and hair, and is wearing a black Taoist robe, embroidered with the sun and the moon shining together, purple energy coming from the east.
Bai Shiji sat cross-legged in the main hall, closing his eyes in silence.
Not long after, a disciple walked in from outside the door and bowed his hands: "Master, Uncle Chen is here to visit!"
"Invite him in!"
"yes!"
Bai Shiji opened his eyes slightly and saw the veteran Chen Qingge standing in front of him. He said with a smile: "I am here late at night. I wonder if I have disturbed my senior brother in his cultivation?"
"When did you come to me and learn how to report?"
Bai Shiji waved his hand, and a table flew over and landed in front of the two of them. A tea tray was placed on it, and the fragrance of tea overflowed.
“Coming late at night, it’s quite busy.”
Chen Qingge sat down cross-legged and said with a smile: "I'm here for official business, but I'm afraid someone won't be able to find the way, so I'm going to work tirelessly and late into the night!"
Bai Shiji smiled slightly and poured tea for Chen Qingge himself: "Every day there are people coming and going in an endless stream. When has my Xing Valley ever been so lively!"
"The more lively things may be coming later," Chen Qingge picked up the tea cup and took a sip: "Sooner or later, your execution hall will be demolished. I feel so sorry for you!"
Bai Shiji smiled and shook his head: "It's useless to leave a broken house. I'm just afraid that the word "profit" will be the first, and the word "punishment" will not deter anyone."
"Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the sages have contributed to this punishment valley," Chen Qingge sighed softly: "It is a pity that the younger generations realized it too late, and all their good intentions were in vain."
Bai Shiji stood up and looked out the window at the valley: "The execution hall does not seek profit, it only protects the law, let alone this kind of power!"
Chen Qingge heard this and put down the tea cup: "In that case, let outsiders fight for it!"
…
The Valley of Punishment was originally used for the confinement of disciples who violated the precepts. However, in the valley right now, corpses were scattered all over the place, and blood flowed into rivers.
Among the bones, Ye Shen stood with his hands behind his hands, his expression silent. Not far away, Li Chunyuan crushed the head of a monk, then turned around with a sullen face and said: "I never thought that these people would get there first!"
He stroked his beard in the depths of the night and said, "It's not too late to mend the situation. If someone is willing to explore the way for us, why not do it?"
"I'm afraid that the building will be empty, and those who come after you can only look forward and sigh!" Li Chunyuan looked at a cave in Xing Valley, and he really couldn't imagine that this ordinary place was actually the entrance to the Ancient Moon Cave!
Li Chunyuan originally thought that the entrance to the Ancient Moon Cave could only be discovered by relying on the Ye family, so he was not in a hurry. Who would have thought that something unexpected would happen and he would regret it.
While speaking, Li Chunyuan waved his hand, and many people from the Holy Spirit Sect appeared behind him, entered along the entrance of the cave, and soon disappeared.
Ye Shen said solemnly: "This place is a teleportation circle that connects the inside and outside. They have entered the Ancient Moon Cave!"
Li Chunyuan nodded, now just waiting for the news to come back before discussing.
In the middle of the night, he smiled and said nothing. In front of Li Chunyuan, he never said a word.
After half an hour there was no movement, Li Chunyuan felt uneasy and ordered the two of them to go there again. However, they still left without returning and heard no news.
Li Chunyuan asked Ye Shen Shen: "Everyone goes and never comes back. Why is that?"
"How do I know?" Ye Shen said deeply, stroking his beard: "The Ancient Moon Cave is mysterious and unpredictable. Even the master of the Moon Pavilion doesn't know the secrets. I really have no words to tell you!"
Li Chunyuan frowned, then summoned a Holy Spirit cultist, whispered a few words, and then the man turned and left.
About a quarter of an hour later, a middle-aged man in black came out of the air. It was none other than Shi Yecheng, the elder of Xianyue Pavilion!
Shi Yecheng bowed his hands and said, "Palace Master Li, I don't know what I'm calling you to do."
Li Chunyuan said coldly: "Elder Shi, don't forget what you said before. Even without your help now, I can easily enter and leave the Moon Pavilion. If you ask me to help you in the future, what will you say to me?"
Shi Yecheng's face turned slightly ugly. He had never thought that a few months ago, the Pavilion Master Xue Xian suddenly ordered the closure of the sect-protecting formation on the grounds of the three sects' competition, leaving the sects wide open so that people could come and go as they pleased.
In this way, if the Holy Spirit Sect wants to step into the sect, although it may not be impressive, it can be considered easy and comfortable, and there is no need to borrow the power of Shi Yecheng.
In order to achieve his plan, Shi Yecheng had no choice but to compromise: "Hall Master Li, there is no need to say anything. I will just wait for my orders."
Li Chunyuan nodded and asked: "Guyue Cave, there is no return, but why?"
Shi Yecheng was slightly stunned. He had only heard a few words from his father, but no one knew what the secret was. At this moment, when Li Chunyuan asked, he should have been speechless.
But Shi Yecheng's mind suddenly changed, and he said: "I once heard the words of the seniors in the pavilion, saying that although there is a Taoist treasure in the ancient moon cave, it is more dangerous. If you are not careful, you will never come back! I am afraid of those who go in.
The realm is low and difficult to cope with."
Although Li Chunyuan had no expression on his face, he acquiesced in this statement in his heart.
Ye Shen on the side heard the words and raised his eyebrows, but remained silent...
…
On the top of the cliff, Ye Qinghan was dressed in black, looking up at the stars. Under the moonlight, even though the black clothes were like ink, it was difficult to hide.
"Amitabha!"
Behind him, monk Nianxin walked closer with a smile on his face: "Master Ye, have you ever seen God's will?"
Ye Qinghan didn't even look back: "Master Nianxin is in Buddhism and what he cares about is cause and effect. Why should we ask God's will?"
"God's will is cause and effect," monk Nianxin said with a smile: "Nothing in the world can escape the word cause and effect. If you can understand it, you will immediately transcend the world and gain great freedom! Amitabha!"
Ye Qinghan lowered his head: "God's will is unpredictable, and cause and effect are even more elusive. I try hard to plant causes, but why can't I get the results I want? When was the fruit I tasted today planted?"
"Young Master Ye," Monk Nian Xin sighed softly: "Today's result must have the cause of yesterday. Today's cause will definitely reap the tomorrow's result. Master Ye, don't force yourself, learn to let go."
"Put it down?" Ye Qinghan clenched his fists: "I will never let it go in my lifetime!"
Monk Nianxin shook his head and sighed: "My Buddha is compassionate!"
…
Guyue Cave Sky——
Ye Ling sat cross-legged on the ground, meditating and practicing. At this moment, there was nothing he could do in this secret realm, and he didn't want to waste a moment, so he quietly worked on his exercises to improve his cultivation.
The Qingyou realm evolves the spiritual power of the whole body, turns it into Tao power, takes off the mortal body, and achieves the Tao body. Escape to Lingxu, have a deeper understanding of the laws of space, and can conquer the sky, so it is called Lingxu realm.
The Lingxu Realm accepts the spiritual energy from the heavens and transforms it into itself, strengthening the Taoist reservoir of the Dantian. From the time of the Huiling Spiritual Realm, the Dantian is opened up, and a whirlpool of spiritual energy is developed, which circulates endlessly.
Stepping into the Qingyou Realm, the whirlpool of spiritual energy further expanded and gradually spread out, as if forming a chaos.
After achieving the Lingxu realm, the spiritual energy in the Dantian evolved into Dao power. The spiritual energy whirlpool exploded with a bang, turning into a vast ocean of gold. The Dao power was like rolling waves, rising and falling.
A monk in the Lingxu Realm must continue to practice and develop Tao power, so that the Tao power overflows the Dantian, perfects it internally, and goes retrograde externally, so it is called Yingchong.
When reaching the Lingxu realm, it is necessary to build up a large number of spirit stones to quickly achieve the Yingchong realm. However, given the number of spirit stones that Ye Ling needed before, I am afraid that he will have to worry about the spirit stones in the future.
Ye Ling sighed in his heart: "It would be great if you had achieved the Lingxu realm before entering the Ancient Moon Cave, and now you could jump to Yingchong and save the use of many spiritual stones."
If things go against your wishes, you can only rely on your own hard work and accumulation in the future.
On the other side, Xue Qionglin closed his eyes and said nothing. His life was about to end, and by using less energy at this moment, he could delay the passage of life. Only at this moment of death can he realize that time is precious and life is priceless.
Sheng Qingyao stood aside. She was the only one who failed to absorb a pool of moonlight and achieve the state of immortality. The hateful barrier swallowed her up, stripped her of her clothes, and exposed her body in front of three men. It was really hard to accept.
The fat Taoist priest Wu Liang walked back and forth in the Ancient Moon Cave. He looked solemn, kept calculating in his hands, and muttered words in his mouth, which was quite mysterious.
Not long after, he stopped in the middle and kept taking out various materials from the Taoist storage vessel. Sheng Qingyao was dazzled and couldn't help asking: "What do you think these are?"
The objects Wu Liang took out were all unusual. There were plants, black soil, animal bones, bird feathers, etc. It was confusing.
Wu Liang didn't answer, he just matched these materials with each other or arranged them according to their positions. He held a talisman in his hand with bright red symbols on it, which was very strange.
Immediately afterwards, various materials were put into place to form a strange formation. Wu Liang tightened the talisman in his hand, stood in the formation, stepped forward, and danced in an unknown manner.
Xue Qionglin opened her eyes slightly and looked at Wu Liang, but her face darkened, and she didn't know what she saw.
Sheng Qingyao couldn't help but curled her lips and said, "What weird thing are you going to do again?"
Wu Liang danced with his eyes closed, the talisman in his hand swinging in mid-air. Suddenly, an unknown fire ignited the talisman, and then the entire formation lit up with a strange white light.
Sheng Qingyao's eyes widened, and then he saw that the surrounding water pools were also attracted by this light. From the bottom of the pool, white light rose into the sky, and beams of light shot into the sky, which was quite spectacular.
Ye Ling was awakened by this strange movement and hurriedly looked around, wondering in shock: "What's going on?"
Xue Qionglin and Wu Liang, who were on the side, both looked at the sky at the same time, but they saw these light pillars rising into the sky, forming a pattern in the sky.
"This...this is..."
Xue Qionglin was shocked. This pattern turned out to be the picture of the Dao Peaks in the Moon Pavilion! But it turns out that there are as many Moon Flower Pools here as there are Dao Peaks in the Moon Pavilion!
Xue Qionglin has been here for thousands of years and has never noticed it!
At this moment, Ye Ling's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately cast Xuantian Afterimage. The afterimage remained in place, but his figure had already arrived at the entrance of the west cave.
But I only heard the sound of wind passing by, and several figures rushed into the ancient moon cave sky.
The edge of the sword tore through the void, and the sword energy fell vertically and horizontally. The two people's heads were in different places, and they died in the end.
There were two other people who were seriously injured but survived and fled in a hurry.
Ye Ling held a wooden sword in his hand and slashed it down. The energy of the sword broke the sound barrier, and he came in pursuit.
But at this moment, a water shield appeared out of thin air, blocking the sword energy. Immediately afterwards, the water shield shattered, and like a flood overflowing an embankment, it enveloped the sword energy and gradually wore it away.
Sheng Qingyao slowly walked up to Ye Ling, her face was not good-looking, her whole body was soaring with Taoism, with water-type Taoism evolving and Taoism flowing.
Ye Ling stood with his sword in hand, looking at the two escaping people. He suddenly realized and looked at Sheng Qingyao: "It's you! You are outside Amaterasu City..."
"That's right!" Before Ye Ling could finish speaking, Sheng Qingyao said, "It's me, the Saint of the Holy Spirit, Sheng Qingyao!"
As soon as these words came out, Ye Ling's expression froze. He could clearly remember what happened outside Amaterasu City. The old man died tragically and he was hunted down, all because of the woman in front of him!
Sheng Qingyao bit her lips secretly. Facing Ye Ling at this moment, she might no longer be as cruel as before...
