Before this, even Tianlan had never thought that the youngest Yonghu could actually win the position of the first envoy. This was really unexpected. Originally, he thought it would be good for Yonghu to squeeze into the ranks of the four major envoys. And Yonghu's performance today really surprised him.
The strength of the four of them is very strong. They are between mid-level gods and high-level gods. In terms of rank, they should be regarded as the peak of the mid-level gods. It is also possible to kill the high-level gods under desperate circumstances.
The most powerful among the Zhuo gods are undoubtedly the four elders Li Zheng, Li Yan, Jiang Yu, and Shi Pei. They all belong to the upper gods; followed by some old seniors who live in seclusion in Ziyan Palace and a few who have settled in the Lower Heaven Realm. Strong people. They have very strong strength, but they generally don't come out to show themselves. They don't come to compete for the position of the four envoys.
Frequent wars have made the generation of the Zhuoshen in the lower heaven more serious. Apart from the surviving old people, the new generation of Yong Gu are the strongest. The potential of this generation of children is stronger than ever before. You know, even the power There are not many high-level gods in the relatively powerful upper heaven realm. In just a few hundred years, a group of powerful mid-level gods have appeared in the lower heaven realm. It is not easy.
After the competition, the four newly selected envoys came to Ziyan Hall. Tianlan and the four elders were waiting for them in the main hall.
"Brother, young master."
Yong Hu couldn't wait to rush into the main hall. He rushed towards Tian Lan. Then he hugged him and never let go. Not to mention being very intimate. He was like this every time he saw Tian Lan. Tian Lan was also used to it. And today Yong Hu He won the position of the evil envoy. He was also happy for Yonghu.
Shang Qing, who had just entered the main hall, was a little stunned and couldn't react for a moment. Yuxiu beside him smiled and explained: "Xiao Hu was rescued by the young master. He has been very attached to the young master since he was a child. This way You will see this scene every day from now on. Just get used to it."
Yonghu said as if he was taking credit: "Brother, young master, you see, I won. I even became the evil envoy."
Tianlan smiled and said, "Yes. I have seen it all. Xiaohu has become so powerful."
After being praised by Tian Lan, Yong Hu seemed very satisfied. He giggled. His shrewd energy on the field was nowhere to be seen. Shang Qing on the side looked very depressed. Not to mention his defeat at the hands of Yu Xiu and Li Xu. Yu Xiu and Li Xu can be considered a leader among the younger generation. How could he lose to such a stupid boy?
Yuxiu saw that he was depressed. She explained in a low voice with a smile: "Xiao Hu is trying to show off his cuteness to the young master. If you are really deceived by his appearance, you will suffer a lot. The young master will eventually suffer." I feel sorry for him. In the future, remember not to offend Xiaohu even if you offend the young master."
Yuxiu, Li Xu and Yonghu all lived in Ziyan Hall. Only Shangqing was unfamiliar with this place. They all introduced each other. Then Yuxiu took Shangqing around to visit.
Considering that they will be comrades fighting side by side for hundreds or even thousands of years in the future. Yuxiu, Li Xu and Yonghu all have a good attitude towards Shang Qing. Li Xu is not good at words at all. Yuxiu smiled a little; Yonghu chatted with him for a while. There was no airs at all. From his appearance, it was really hard to tell that he was the first person to come to Zhuoshen. Yuxiu's personality is inherently sociable. Naturally, he is the most sociable. enthusiasm.
Three days passed like this.
On this day, Great Elder Li Zheng called Tianlan and the four envoys over, saying that they had important matters to discuss.
They chose the study room this time. Tianlan, four elders and four envoys, a total of nine people. Tianlan naturally sat on the main seat. The four elders sat on his left hand side and the four young envoys. He sat at his right hand.
Li Zheng was the first to speak: "There are two things I want to discuss with everyone this time. The first is about the young master's becoming a king ceremony. According to the ancestral system, the young master must pass the challenges of four envoys. . Defeat them. Of course, the envoy selection has just ended. It is not suitable to conduct the King's Ceremony in a short time. And we also need several years to prepare. Now I just hope that the young master will be mentally prepared."
Yong Hu sat at the top of the right hand side. He looked at Li Zheng displeased and said, "Grandpa Li Zheng, you asked us to take action against the young master. Hmm, how could we possibly do it? Let's not talk about the three of them. Anyway, I I will not harm my brother, young master."
Tian Lan was a little helpless, but he was very warm in his heart. He smiled and said: "Xiao Hu, the ceremony of becoming a king is of great significance. In order to convince the people, you should go all out. If you show mercy, it will make things difficult for me."
"Okay, okay. I understand." Yonghu pouted unhappily. As he said this, his big eyes rolled around. He thought to himself: How can I bear to do such a heavy hand to my brother, the young master? Hum. I'm going to let loose when the time comes. Who can tell? And the three guys next to me also need to find a time to beat them up, lest they really bully the young master brother.
Li Zheng said: "Okay. This matter is not urgent. It may take more than ten or twenty years before the King Becoming Ceremony will be held. I am just saying it now to prepare everyone. The second thing is more important. Shut down the future of heaven."
Tianlan said politely: "Great Elder, please speak clearly."
Li Zheng nodded respectfully to Tianlan, and then began to explain bit by bit: "Everyone knows that over the past few thousand years, the distribution of turbid qi in the lower heaven has become increasingly unbalanced, and the total amount has been decreasing. On the contrary, the clear qi has gradually increased. the trend of.
Originally, the upper heaven world and the lower heaven world are two sides of yin and yang. The stronger the pure air in the upper heaven world, the stronger the turbid air in the lower heaven world. So even if the clear air in the upper heaven world becomes stronger, we have not worried about it. But in these thousands of years, the turbidity has become stronger. The total amount of qi has been reduced by nearly half. Even the lower heaven, which is filled with turbid qi, is gradually beginning to be invaded by clean qi.
We all know that turbid air is the source of our existence. The decrease of turbid air in the world is the source of our weakening strength. If things go on like this, I am afraid that Qingshen will become stronger and stronger, and we will become weaker and weaker. We may even become weak. Due to the reduction of turbidity, his name was removed from heaven and earth."
Tianlan thought about it and said: "Yes. The reason why Qingshen dare not attack rashly is mainly because the environment in the lower heaven is not suitable for their Qingshen battle. If the turbid air in the lower heaven decreases and the pure air increases, then they can attack the lower heaven. The momentum is sure to grow with each passing day…”
Yonghu said strangely: "The turbid air between heaven and earth. Doesn't the pure and turbid air between heaven and earth remain unchanged? Why is it getting less and less?"
Li Zheng said: "We were also surprised at first. The pure and turbid air between heaven and earth should not change. At least the total amount will not change. Just like the stars in heaven, they are eternal and unchanging. And the pure spirit is in the heaven above. It was preached that the reduction of the turbid air was the way of heaven, which foreshadowed the destruction of the turbid gods. But how could we believe such ridiculous claims? So we sent a large number of people to the heaven to investigate. We must find out what the pure gods have done."
Tianlan said: "The Great Elder called us here today. But we found out some clues."
Li Zheng bowed slightly to Tian Lan and said, "I'm ashamed. Ever since we took office as elders, we have noticed abnormal changes in the Qing Qi. But until now, we still don't know what means Qing Shen used. Gou Mang did it. It’s incredible. Such a generous act has not leaked out for thousands of years. We tried our best to detect but only found four words: Ceremony of Sacrifice to Heaven."
Tianlan murmured secretly: "The ritual of offering sacrifices to heaven."
Li Zheng continued: "Jumang should use the ritual of offering sacrifices to heaven to suppress the turbid air in the entire heaven and increase the clean air. We initially suspect that this ritual of offering sacrifices to heaven should use some means to tamper with the way of heaven and reduce the turbidity in the heaven. Qi is reduced or transferred. Since it is called offering sacrifices to the sky, something should be sacrificed to perform this ritual.
According to historical records, every thousand years, the turbid air in the lower heaven will experience a major shock. Then the turbid air will decrease significantly in a short period of time. The most intense one reduced by a full third. At the same time, it brought about Endless flash floods, avalanches, and magma eruptions caused heavy casualties in the Lower Heaven Realm. This is why we are at a disadvantage.
It can be said that this mysterious ritual of offering sacrifices to the sky is far more harmful to us than the war between the Qingzhuo gods. It may really be a crisis of annihilation. The Qingshen wants to use this method to wipe out all of us without a single blow. If we To survive, the first priority is to find a way to deal with the ritual of offering sacrifices to heaven."
Tianlan said: "Listen to what the elders said. This ceremony of worshiping the heaven is indeed a top priority. If we can get further information and understand the inside story of the ceremony, we can find a way to stop it. For example, they will use it to worship the heaven. The sacrifice was destroyed or taken away.”
Of course, he still had something to say: if he could understand the working principle of the Heaven Sacrifice Ritual, could he in turn use the Heaven Sacrifice Ritual to increase turbidity in the lower heavens?
Tianlan is well versed in the formation path. After coming to the Lower Heaven Realm, he also spent a long time studying the formation path in the heaven world. It can be said that the formation path is the most closely related to the heavenly path. The so-called yin and yang are in harmony. Retrograde. Since Qing Shen can Suppress the turbid air. Then in turn, you can certainly use this principle to suppress the clear air.
Li Zheng said: "As the young master said, according to our calculations, there are only a few years left before the next ceremony to sacrifice to the sky. Qingshen should have already started preparations. If we want to understand the inside story, we must start at this time ."
Tian Lan said: "Great Elder, I want to go to the heaven to find out the truth about the ceremony of worshiping the heaven."
Li Zheng was stunned for a moment. Before he could speak, Yong Hu slapped the table, stood up and shouted, "I want to go with my brother, Young Master."
Yuxiu and Li Xu looked at each other and said in unison: "We will go too."
Shang Qing said without hesitation: "Me too."
Li Zheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He said: "I understand your feelings very well. Don't act nonsense. I haven't finished speaking yet. Young Master, no matter what, we can't let you take risks in the heaven. Now, although you are strong enough to fight alone, you can fight alone." Paul. But you have to know that you are our young master. Once your identity is known to the Qingshen, they will not fight you fairly. They will definitely send a large army to surround you. No matter how strong you are alone, you will not be able to escape unscathed. .We can't let you take such a big risk."
Yong Hu sat back down. Although he agreed with Li Zheng's words, he still muttered in a low voice: "Brother, young master, is not alone. There is also me..."
