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

Chapter 221 Medieval Ink Abyss
Qingxu Palace, the front hall.

Patriarch Zhenyang, Patriarch Sanshan and Dugu Tianyi sat behind the case, waiting patiently for Patriarch Qingxu to come, and they were still communicating with each other in private.

"...It's really unbelievable, so many Golden Core cultivators, they will die if they say they die!"

"That's right, those are all ancestor-level characters. I didn't expect that they all died in Dayu this time."

"No one knows what happened in the emerald lake."

"This is a rare event in a century in the southwest, especially in the world of Dayu Xiuxian. I heard that the ancestors of Jindan are almost dead..."

What the three of them exchanged and discussed was the change of emeralds in Dayu territory.

The result of the second emerald change was that many Jindan Patriarchs perished, leaving Dali's Qingxu Patriarch and Dayu's Sansha Daoist retreating completely.

Such a big change involved many Jindan monks, so it was destined to be hidden.

Not long after Zhang Yao left Dayu after driving the Haitian Floating Island:

This explosive news spread wildly to the entire Southwest Immortal Cultivation World through the special channels organized by super chambers of commerce such as Tianbao Building and Yuhua Building.

In just half a month:
Before Zhang Yao and many disciples of Fuhaizong returned to Dali territory, the news of the emerald change had already spread to the middle and high-level people in Dali's cultivation world.

For a moment: Not only are the many foundation-building monks discussing and speculating about this, but even Patriarch Zhenyang and others are very concerned about it.

Therefore, after they learned the news of Patriarch Qingxu's return, they immediately came together. The matter of Haizong was only incidental, and the main thing was to inquire about the change of jadeite.

"Patriarch Qingxu has arrived."

Suddenly, two Taoist officials stood at the gate of the front hall and sang in unison.

Patriarch Zhenyang, Patriarch Sanshan and Dugutian didn't dare to neglect, they quickly got up and went forward to meet them.

"Greetings to Brother Qingxu."

"Fellow daoists are polite, please sit down quickly."

After a few people greeted each other, they re-divided the guests and hosts to sit down.

Patriarch Zhenyang and the others also knew that Zhang Yao didn't like to talk nonsense, so after a few words of politeness, they straight to the point and said what they wanted to do.

But as they expected:
The Emerald Change really hides a deep insider story, Zhang Yao is concerned about this, and he is obviously unwilling to reveal too much.

"Don't worry, everyone."

Zhang Yao picked up the teacup and said lightly:

"This matter is over, and it won't happen a third time, and it won't affect my Dali Xiuxian world."

The matter of the Emerald Shrine is top secret, and he and Taoist Sansha have a tacit understanding, and they will never reveal it to the outside world.

After all, the Emerald Shrine has existed since ancient times, who knows if anyone has heard of it?In particular, Zhang Yao also got an ancient Lingbao, once the news leaked out, it might even attract the Nascent Soul monster.

After hearing Zhang Yao's assurance, Patriarch Zhenyang and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

They could guess that this Patriarch Qingxu must have gained a lot from the Emerald Change incident, but at the same time they were envious in their hearts, they didn't dare to have any superfluous thoughts.

After everyone chatted for a while, Patriarch Sanshan brought up the matter of Haizhou's overthrow of Haizong's mountain gate.

"Hey, it seems that Fu Haizong's luck is not good..."

Zhang Yao put down his teacup, sighed and said:

"Ancestor Wanchuan passed away many years ago, and the ancestor Haihe who is now in charge of the Fuhai Sect unfortunately fell during the Emerald Change."

"Fu Haizong and I have a certain degree of affection. It would be dangerous to let him stay in Dayu territory, so we brought him back."

As he spoke, he added:

"Fu Haizong suffered heavy losses in the past, and has not yet recovered its vitality. Without the ancestor of Jindan, it is certain that it will decline for a long time."

"I also hope that a few fellow Taoists can hold their hands high and forgive others."

Hearing his words, Patriarch Zhenyang and the others said 'dare not' and promised not to target Fu Haizong again.

As Zhang Yao said:
Fu Haizong's decline is doomed, without the Jindan Patriarch sitting in charge, it would be a stronger second-rate force, and it would not be able to encroach on their interests.

For this old opponent in the past, since they had Zhang Yao's protection, they did not dare to target them too much, and adopted a laissez-faire attitude.

"Right, one more thing."

Zhang Yao pondered for a moment before opening his mouth and saying:

"I will return to Dali this time, and I won't stay for long."

"I'm going to go to Damo first, and I'm likely to stay in the Mani Kingdom in the Central Plains for a long time."

"In the future, if there is a change in Dali's cultivation world, if you can't solve it, you can go to the Mani Kingdom to find me; as for the offering made every 20 years, let's put it in Qingxu Palace first."

"Of course, if you have collected the exact information about the rare treasures I need, you have to notify me as soon as possible."

"Yes."

The three ancestors of Zhenyang nodded their heads in haste when they heard the words, and they were still a little happy in their hearts.

They have become the ancestors of Jindan, so they don't want to have a master over their heads all the time. Zhang Yao is going to stay in Mani Kingdom for a long time, which is also good news for them.

…………

a few days later.

"boom!"

The shocking white rainbow disappeared in a flash, and Zhang Yao left Qingxu Palace again.

He flew towards the west, crossed thousands of rivers and mountains, and flew over a dozen barren belts before finally arriving in the territory of Damo.

As one of the four powerful countries in the southwest, Damo is located in the westernmost part of the vast area of ​​"Hundred Kingdoms of the Central Plains". Like Zhang Yao's hometown of Lu, it is located in the frontier area.

Going further west from Damo, after crossing the barren belt that is tens of thousands of miles long, you will enter the Western Wilderness. It is rumored that there are no human races there, and it is a paradise for monsters and beasts.

"boom……"

The white rainbow streaked across the sea of ​​clouds, and Zhang Yao looked down at the mountains and rivers below, showing a hint of surprise:
"This is the ancient Moyuan?! Seeing once is better than hearing a hundred things..."

Following his gaze, he could see a dark and deep bottomless abyss on the vast land, like a sore on the earth.

The bottomless abyss has a radius of tens of thousands of feet, like a vortex that swallows everything under the sea, and hundreds of miles around is a desolate scene, with undulating yellow-brown hills and little life.

Only in the place closest to the abyss, building complexes appeared one after another, and many shadows came and went.

This is the most famous place in Damo territory - the ancient Moyuan.

This is an abyss created by a geological change in the Middle Ages. Legend has it that the evil spirits that go straight to the lungs of the earth and accumulate for billions of years are forbidden areas for the extinction of humans and animals.

However, the condensation of Yin and evil spirits has also caused the birth of many rare treasures of Yin Qi, dark attribute treasures, and scattered spirit gold and spirit grass of dark attributes in Moyuan. A treasure for the reader.

The name of the country of Damo comes from this, and most of the immortals in the territory are yin and dark schools of immortality, which shows the influence of the ancient Moyuan.

"It's reasonable for a place like this to be able to produce such rare treasures as the Uninterrupted Yin Soil."

In Zhang Yao's mind, thoughts flickered slightly:

"However, the Infernal Yin Soil is an extremely rare rare treasure of heaven and earth. If it is really born, it will only be in the extreme depths tens of thousands of meters below Moyuan."

"The ancestor of Jiuhua of the Shenhua School, who was able to get the 'Infernal Yin Soil', should have taken advantage of a certain Kuroshio outbreak to explore, and he was lucky enough to get it..."

In ancient times, Moyuan was connected to the earth's lungs, just like the breathing holes of human beings, and it also has an irregular outbreak period.

Under normal circumstances:
In the deep area below ten thousand feet in the ancient Moyuan, the magnetic force of the earth will be strong enough to distort the space and confuse the five senses, forming natural dangers everywhere, even if the ancestors of Jindan fall into it, they will all fall.

However, the dark spirits born in the surface and middle areas are of no use to the ancestors of Jindan, and they have always been explored in the Qi refining period and Foundation building period.

Only during the eruption of the Kuroshio tide, the evil energy accumulated in the depths of the earth's lungs will rush out like a flood, and temporarily suppress the influence of the earth's magnetic force, so that Jindan stage monks can explore it deeply.

However, even if it can be explored, the ordinary golden core stage can generally be explored between [-] and [-] feet, and it is difficult to guarantee safety no matter how deep it is, and the rare treasure such as the Infernal Yin Soil can be explored at least under [-] feet. born.

"If you're lucky enough to get it, I'm afraid the quantity is extremely small, and it's not enough for me at all."

Thinking of this, Zhang Yao slightly accelerated the speed of escape, and rushed towards the Shenhua faction.

…………

Southeast of Damo.

The mountain gate of the Shenhua School is located on the Shenhua Mountain, which is known as the most dangerous place in Damo, standing alone and extremely dangerous.

On the top of hundreds of thousands of peaks, there are Taoist palaces one after another. The rays of light compete for brilliance, and the long rainbow pierces the sky.

At this moment, on the highest peak of the Shenhua Sect, 'Tianzhu Peak':

The wind is fierce and roaring wantonly, but there is a viewing platform that does not move. Two Taoists sit and talk to each other, and there is a small red clay stove next to it.

"Brother Dao, the scenery here is really the best in my life. Every time I come here, I feel refreshed and happy."

Master Heiyuan, who was dressed in a black robe and wearing a black jade crown, was holding a small brass jug, sitting on a soft bed, drinking to himself.

"Haha, if fellow daoists like it, you might as well stay with me forever."

The Jiuhua Patriarch, who was dressed in hemp robes and kudzu clothes, smiled slightly, and added another taste of precious spiritual herbs to the tea pot on the small red clay stove.

"Hey, why don't I want to do that."

Venerable Heiyuan took another sip of wine before saying sadly:
"It's a pity that my apprentices are all unworthy. They are good at fighting for power and profit, but they are as stupid as pigs in practicing profound arts."

"If the Li Yuan Sect loses me, I'm afraid it will fall apart within a few days."

He said, shaking his head and saying:

"What I am most looking forward to now is to quickly come to a Tianjiao who has a dark attribute and different spiritual root, who can take over my mantle and cultivate to the Golden Core Realm as soon as possible."

"At that time, I will entrust this Liyuan Sect to him, and I will be able to go to the Nine Mansions of Tianzhou to be happy like my master..."

"Hahaha……"

Patriarch Jiuhua let out a long laugh, stroked his beard and said:
"Heavenly Spiritual Root and Foreign Spiritual Root are all aptitudes that are no one in a million. How can they be so easy to find?"

"The Liyuan faction has only been passed down to your second generation, and it will take a long time for another leading figure to emerge."

"That's right!"

Master Heiyuan sighed:
"When I think that I may have to work for decades, or even hundreds of years, I feel restless."

"I think I have been extremely smart all my life. I have achieved Jindan at the age of 150, and I have also practiced the third level of refining techniques by the way. I didn't expect that among my apprentices and sons, none of them are promising..."

He said, paused, and then said:

"Among the southwestern countries, Patriarch Qingxu who has been the most popular recently, have you ever heard of Daoist brother?"
