Longevity and Immortal Cultivation: Starting from Controlling Your Own Essence.

Chapter 204 Emerald Shrine
On the border of Dayu, in the offshore area.

Over the vast sea area, you can see many escaping lights shuttle back and forth, and from time to time, some even dive into the sea.

Rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, and rely on the sea to eat the sea.

Dayu's offshore area is also full of spiritual pearls and jade shells, as well as scattered seabed spiritual gold and spiritual grass. Many Qi refining monks rely on collecting seabed resources in exchange for spiritual stones for their own cultivation.

In a further area, there are real people in the foundation building period leading the team to hunt down the powerful monsters in the Fubo sea. The risk is high, but the profit is also more.

"The sea area of ​​hundreds of thousands of miles has supported many monks."

Seeing this scene, Zhang Yao felt a little emotional.

He flew all the way for more than three days, crossed the entire Fubo Sea, and met many small sects and small families on the islands in the sea, scattered and scattered.

While there are many countries along the coast of Fubo Sea, the only big countries in the true sense are Dali and Dayu.

Dayu is not only on the east side of the Fubo Sea, but also in the far east of the southwest. After crossing the barren border of Dayu, it is the southern countries in the territory of the Central Plains Hundred Kingdoms.

"Buzz!"

Zhang Yao protruded his tyrannical divine sense and spread it in all directions.

With the blessing of the 'Thousands of Souls and Thoughts Formation', although his current power of soul and mind is not as great as the advantage of mana, it has steadily surpassed the ordinary Jindan late stage.

Such a tyrannical divine sense is enough to cover the surrounding area thousands of meters above and below the ground, and in this area, there are many qi refining monks coming and going.

Soon, he locked on a late Qi refining monk who was performing a spell on the sea surface and was about to dive under the sea surface.

"Wow..."

Silently, Zhang Yao used the secret method of searching for the soul, and sneaked into the soul of the monk in the late stage of Qi refining, looking through his memory, looking for the mountain gate of Fu Haizong.

"Ok?"

Zhang Yao frowned, as if the result surprised him a bit:

"The mountain gate of Fuhaizong moved to Luoxia Mountain?"

"It seems that their situation is really a bit bad... But if they still have an ally, it's not the worst situation."

In the territory of Dayu, there are four great powers at the Golden Elixir level—Luoxia Sect, Tiansha Sect, Changbai Sword Sect, and Xuling Sect.

The Luoxia Mountain is where the mountain gate of the Luoxia Sect is located. Haihe moved the Haitian Floating Island to the Luoxia Mountain.

"So the current situation in Dayu's Immortal Cultivation World is that Fuhaizong and Luoxiazong join forces to fight against Tianshazong, Changbai Sword Sect and Xulingmen?"

In Zhang Yao's mind, thoughts flickered slightly:
"There must be some secrets involved in it... Let's go and see for ourselves."

As soon as he thought of this, he took advantage of the turning point and flew towards the north.

…………

To the north of Dayu, the Luoxia Mountains.

The Luoxia Mountains, which stretch for thousands of miles, are not considered majestic and majestic in the north of Dayu, but they hide one of the best spiritual veins in Dayu.

Since five years ago:
Fu Haizong then moved the Shanmen Haitian Floating Island from the offshore area with a firm foothold to the sky above the Luoxia Mountains.

This is equivalent to sharing a medium-sized spiritual vein between the two sects. This move caused dissatisfaction among many disciples of the Luoxia sect, but under the strong opposition of the Jindan ancestor "Xiaguang Fairy" in the sect, they still suppressed it. Voices of disapproval.

Five years later, the relationship between the upper echelons of the two sects has become relatively harmonious, but there is still a faint hostile relationship between the disciples of the middle and lower echelons.

This day:
The mountain gate of Luoxia Sect is in a deep valley.

Jindan Patriarch 'Xiaguang Fairy' who sits in the Luoxia Sect is meeting with Haihe Patriarch of Fuhai Sect.

"Friend Haihe."

The Luoxia Fairy, who was dressed in a colorful palace dress and wearing a rainbow hairpin, had a dignified look on her face:
"The day when the Emerald Shrine will be opened for the second time is getting closer and closer."

"At that time, the two of us must enter the Emerald Palace, but if there is no one in the sect, I am afraid that the Tiansha Sect and the others will never miss this opportunity!"

"And the two of us are weak after all, we can't compete with the three of them in the Emerald Shrine, and there is even a risk of falling..."

When she said this, she paused for a moment before asking:

"When will the Patriarch Qingxu you speak of come?"

"Fairy, please rest assured."

Haihe Patriarch looked calm and said:

"The Daoist Zhuji who I sent to Dali to give congratulatory gifts has returned from Dali two days ago."

"She brought definite news that the Patriarch Qingxu promised to come to Dayu in the near future. If you calculate the time, it should be around the next few days."

"That's good."

Fairy Xiaguang also breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words, but then she inevitably felt a little worried:
"I also know a thing or two about the reputation of that Patriarch Qingxu."

"He is a cultivator who cultivates formations and enters the body, and his strength is far superior to that of monks of the same level. Even several Jindan in Dali were defeated by him, and they had no choice but to submit to him."

"But if he acts arrogantly and has a perverse personality, I'm afraid we will have no way to check and balance him..."

This is what worries her the most:
In this battle for the Emerald Shrine, she and Patriarch Haihe had no choice but to bring in foreign aid due to the situation, but they were also worried that they would lure wolves into the house and cause even greater disasters.

"Well, he should be easier to get along with..."

Hearing this, the ancestor Haihe couldn't help hesitating for a moment.

He originally subconsciously defended his friend, but when he thought of the rumors in the past, he hesitated and lost all confidence in his tone.

Is the current famous Patriarch Qingxu really the real Qingxu he knew back then?
"Fairy."

The ancestor Haihe really didn't know what to say, so he changed the topic and changed the subject:
"Didn't you also invite a colleague? I wonder how strong she is?"

Fairy Xiaguang heard the words, sighed and said:

"Fellow Daoist Haihe, everyone is a Golden Core cultivator, and I won't hide it from you."

"My boudoir's close friend was born in Jingguo, and has the blood of a demon cultivator. His strength must be stronger than mine, but compared to that Qingxu patriarch, I'm afraid it's still far inferior."

"If he really has any bad intentions, we may not be able to stop him..."

Haihe Patriarch was silent for a while, and then slowly said:

"Based on what I knew about him in the past, he shouldn't be this kind of person, and he wouldn't plot the foundation and wealth of fellow Taoists."

"Besides, our current situation is very bad and the situation is extremely dangerous. Under such a situation, the more powerful he is, the better."

"After all, don't forget that Taoist Sansha also has extra emerald tokens in their hands. They are not fools. In order to ensure absolute advantage, they will definitely invite foreign aid."

"After all, our numbers are not as good as theirs. If we want to restore the decline, we can only rely on this Qingxu Patriarch."

Hearing his words, Xiaguang Fairy nodded slightly, and her expression eased a lot:
"Fellow Daoist Haihe, you are right."

"There are priorities. Our top priority right now is to gain a certain advantage in the Emerald Shrine..."

She didn't finish her sentence:
An extremely tyrannical divine sense slammed into the Luoxia Sect's formation suddenly, arousing a glow that filled the sky.

"Poverty Dao Dali Qingxu, I'm here to pay you a special visit!!"

A clear voice, along with the tyrannical divine sense, was introduced into the Luoxia Sect through the formation.

"he came!"

Haihe Patriarch stood up abruptly, showing a hint of joy, but also heaved a sigh of relief:

"...It's finally here."

Xiaguang Fairy also got up, her expression was a little nervous, but she still pretended to be calm and said:
"Fellow Daoist Haihe, let's go."

"Let's go to meet this Qingxu patriarch."

"Ah."

The ancestor Haihe responded, and immediately drove the Dunguang together with Fairy Xiaguang, hurriedly left the deep valley, and went to meet him outside the formation.

Soon, the two saw Zhang Yao standing alone with his hands behind his back on the sky outside the Luoxia Mountains.

"Qingxu!"

The ancestor of Haihe stepped forward and saluted, showing a smile and emotion:

"Long time no see."

"Yeah, it's been more than 70 years."

There was also a trace of sigh in Zhang Yao's expression, and he looked him up and down a few times.

There is almost no difference between the image of Haihe Patriarch and his impression, but his aura is much deeper, exuding a strong magic power machine of the golden core state.

The smile on his face remained undiminished, and he said with emotion:

"After so many years, you have also achieved the golden core realm, which really makes me happy."

After speaking, he paused, looked at Fairy Xiaguang beside him, and said with a smile:
"Aren't you going to introduce me?"

Hearing this, Haihe Patriarch hurriedly said:

"Oh, this is the Golden Core Patriarch of the Luoxia Sect——Fairy Xiaguang."

"Since the Emerald Change five years ago, Xiaguang Fairy and I have been the closest allies, and we have joined forces to fight against the Heavenly Fiend Sect and the others."

As he spoke, he added:

"Without the help of Fairy Xiaguang, I'm afraid I would have died in the hands of Taoist Sansha."

"Fellow Daoist Haihe is amazing. I am also able to escape from the Emerald Shrine thanks to your help."

Fairy Xiaguang replied humbly, and then saluted with all blessings:

"My concubine is Xiaguang, and I pay my respects to Patriarch Qingxu."

"Fairy is so polite, Qingxu doesn't dare to be so, please hurry up."

Zhang Yao held his hands up, and after another salute, he opened his mouth and said:

"About the Emerald Shrine mentioned by Fellow Daoist just now, could it be the source of the Wind Breathing Mountain Copper?"

"good."

The ancestor Haihe on the side nodded slightly, and stretched out his hand to signal:

"It's not convenient to talk here, let's go in and talk."

Zhang Yao naturally did as he pleases, and readily agreed.

Soon, the three of them returned to the deep valley. After the guests and hosts were seated respectively and the fragrant tea was served, Zhang Yao mentioned the matter again:
"The wind-breathing mountain copper mentioned in Haihe Daoist's letter really haunts me in my dreams."

Zhang Yao said in a joking tone:

"Fellow Daoists must also be aware that I am bound to win the Wind Rest Mountain Copper."

"If Fellow Daoists have any troubles, or Fu Haizong encounters any difficulties, please tell me them together. If I can solve them, I will never refuse."

"As for the source of the wind-breathing mountain copper, please tell the truth, so that the poor Taoist will not make a wasteful trip."

Hearing his words, Fairy Xiaguang and Patriarch Haihe looked at each other, and they both secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

From these words, it can be seen that this Patriarch Qingxu is still a well-behaved monk, not the kind of domineering monk, and they don't have to worry about luring wolves into the house.

Next, I hope that the cooperation between the two parties can proceed smoothly and each can get what they need, which is naturally the best result.

"Here, I have to apologize to Qingxu first..."

After the ancestor Haihe saluted solemnly, his expression showed a hint of shame:
"My previous actions were more or less tentative. I hope you can forgive me."

"It's okay."

Zhang Yao waved his hand and said:

"There is a common saying in the world, it is called knowing the face but knowing the heart."

"I was forced by the situation back then, and it was true that I hid it deeply, and it was difficult to reveal the secrets in my heart. Later, there was such a big commotion, and I had no choice but to do so."

Having said that, he paused for a moment, with a hint of seriousness in his tone:
"However, fellow Taoists, please believe that the friendship between you and me for many years is not fake, and the poor Taoist is not a person with a cold nature."

Hearing this, the faint thorn in Haihe's heart dissipated a lot unknowingly, he laughed and said:

"Hearing you say that really makes me feel a lot better."

After the two talked about it, the previous relationship disappeared, and they chatted about each other's experiences over the years, with a lot of emotion.

Fairy Xiaguang at the side also didn't say a word, and listened silently. It wasn't until the two of them had a good chat that they finally got down to business.

"...Speaking of this so-called emerald change, the truth is actually very simple."

Master Haihe picked up his teacup and took a sip before he said:

"There is an emerald lake in the center of Dayu. It has been a scenic spot since ancient times, and it produces a rare spiritual material, emerald. It is also a resort for immortals to chase."

"Because of the special geographical location of Emerald Lake, about two or three thousand years ago, the Jindan Patriarchs who ruled the world of cultivating immortals in Dayu formed the habit of discussing matters and resolving conflicts on Emerald Lake."

Zhang Yao nodded slightly when he heard this.

Similar rules actually exist in Dali. It is normal for the Golden Core powers in charge of a country's cultivation world to have conflicts and conflicts, and it is impossible to fight frequently.

A large-scale all-out war like the Battle of the Five Schools is an outbreak of irreconcilable contradictions, and in most cases, it can be discussed as soon as possible.

"This kind of meeting happens every 20 years."

"And the last meeting was five years ago, and something unexpected happened..."

Haihe Patriarch said, with a hint of reminiscence in his expression:
"I remember that day very clearly. Several of us took the Luoxia Sect's spirit weapon flying boat, went boating on the Emerald Lake, and discussed the ownership of a spirit stone vein."

"I didn't expect that in an instant, huge waves rolled up on the Emerald Lake, killing countless creatures in the lake."

"After I waited for a few people to investigate, I discovered that in the depths of the Emerald Lake, an Emerald Shrine appeared out of thin air..."

"Emerald Shrine?"

Hearing this, Zhang Yao frowned unconsciously:
"With all due respect, this is too much of a coincidence!"

He has practiced all the way to the present, and he least believes in random coincidences.

Often behind the seemingly coincidence, there are a series of complicated reasons and long-hidden secrets.

So after hearing the news of the Emerald Shrine's sudden appearance, he instinctively felt that it was not a coincidence, and that there must be some kind of secret hidden behind it.
