As soon as the genius is bright, the market in Lingshan becomes very lively. Cultivators from all over the mountain peaks are still arriving one after another. The streets are crowded with people, and places where cultivators can communicate, such as Qinfang Garden and Qiling Pavilion, are full of seats. , almost everyone can't do without talking about two major things.
The first major event was of course last night's vision of thunder clouds and rainbows bursting into pieces. Everyone was speculating on who caused this vision. Most of them thought it was Lei Ben, the leader of the Lei Network. Because he is a thunder cultivator, and he has reached the Dzogchen stage in the late stage of concentration. He has half-stepped into the king level. The person who is likely to advance in the near future is none other than him, and Lei Ben happened to be at the cultivation exchange meeting a few days ago. A three-section Lei Buddha bamboo was replaced, which further confirmed this possibility.
The second major event is about the Poison Lord Purple-faced Venerable. On the same night that the vision occurred, Baihua Valley was destroyed by people. The Purple-faced Venerable’s life and death are unknown, but a passing cultivator said with certainty. I saw thunderclouds accumulating in the sky above Baihua Valley, and lightning striking the ground. The Baihua Valley, which had become a ruin, still had the power of thunder and lightning everywhere. The Purple-faced Venerable is not an ordinary king-level person. He is in the mid-level king level. He has the title of Poison Lord and is one of the ten kings. Even those in the late king-level level have to be wary of him. He disappeared overnight. Even his lair has been destroyed, and he himself is very likely to perish.
The shock effect of the destruction of Baihua Valley is naturally stronger than that of Nine Rainbows. After all, the Purple-faced Venerable is the most powerful figure in Lingshan area. He has dominated Lingshan area for thousands of years. Baihua Valley has become a forbidden place in the minds of all cultivators. However, this forbidden area was razed to the ground overnight.
Two major events happened on the same day, and smart people noticed that thunderclouds appeared in both events. Is there any connection between them? Some people with strong association skills suddenly turned their heads, and a series of bizarre rumors came out. Some people say with seriousness that the Purple-faced Venerable was killed by Lei Ben and the Evil Lord, because the two of them could not deal with each other, and some people saw Lei Ben and the Evil Lord appear in Baihua Valley, and then Lei Ben got the Purple-faced Venerable from the Purple-faced Venerable. After receiving a lot of benefits, he began to make breakthroughs when he returned to his residence in Lingshan, which triggered a vision.
At this time, Lei Ben, who lived in a heaven-level residence in Lingshan, was extremely depressed. Rumors about him outside had been reported by his subordinates, and people kept coming from morning to night. Some people asked directly, and some asked in roundabout ways. , the endless stream of people almost leveled the threshold. What depressed Lei Ben the most was that even the temple sent people to inquire.
Lei Ben originally wanted to test Chu Jun today, but unfortunately there were many visitors from morning to night, so he couldn't get away. If he thanked the guests behind closed doors, it would appear that there was no money in the place. I don't know what would happen next. There are rumors, so I can only accept the explanation patiently.
It was not until late in the evening that fewer people came to the door, so Lei Ben left his residence and went straight to Wu Peak.
According to Lei Ben's own guess, the person who destroyed Baihua Valley was most likely that Han Han, but who was the one who caused the vision of Jiuhong Ling last night? I haven't heard of any other thunder cultivators near Lingshan who are in the late stage of concentration. Could it be Han Han again? It's impossible. Can a half-step king-level guy kill the purple-faced venerable who is in the mid-level king level
Soon, Lei Ben came to Chu Jun's cave and politely touched the barrier three times.
The barrier of the cave opened, and a very ordinary-looking woman came out. Lei Ben knew that this was Han Han's sister, and said politely: "I, Lei Ben, came here to visit Fellow Daoist Han!"
A Chou looked Lei Ben up and down and said calmly: "My brother is in retreat. Please come back and come back another day!"
Lei Ben's eyes flashed and he nodded: "What a coincidence, we met the day before yesterday. When did fellow Taoist Han start to retreat?"
"Yesterday!" A Chou said coldly.
"Then when will he come out of seclusion? I will come to visit another day!"
A Chou said impatiently: "I don't know!"
Lei Ben frowned slightly, cupped his hands and said, "Goodbye!"
"Hey, isn't this Boss Lei?"
Lei Ben was about to leave when a crisp voice came from behind him. He turned around and saw a beautiful woman in light blue palace clothes walking over. It was Ding Qing.
Lei Ben smiled and said, "It turns out to be Miss Yuxin. Are you also here to see Fellow Daoist Han?"
Ding Qing nodded and said, "I'm here to see if Brother Han is out of seclusion!"
Lei Benqi asked: "Miss Yuxin also knows that fellow Taoist Han is in seclusion?"
Ding Qing sighed and said: "Brother Han was seriously injured and started to retreat yesterday afternoon."
A flash of suspicion flashed in Lei Ben's eyes, and he asked, "We were still chatting after the exchange meeting the day before yesterday. Why was Brother Han injured?"
Ding Qing's pretty face showed a surge of sadness and anger as she said: "Yesterday, the evil thief Zhang Gang took advantage of the hunting opportunity to ambush us. My eldest brother asked Brother Han to come with us to rescue us. In the end, eldest brother and Zhang Gang died together, and Brother Han was also injured."
Lei Ben's heart moved and he said apologetically: "I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen. My condolences to fellow Taoist Yuxin, I will come back to visit another day!" After saying that, he cupped his hands and left quickly, but he was secretly annoyed. The people below How do you work? You even reported such a thing.
Ding Qing watched Lei Ben leave, and then she and A Chou entered the barrier.
"He hasn't left seclusion yet?" Ding Qing glanced at the locked stone door in the cave with concern. In fact, she had been there once early in the morning.
A Chou shook his head and said, "Not yet!"
Ding Qing looked solemn and said: "There is a commotion outside now, everyone is guessing who destroyed Baihua Valley!"
Although Ding Qing hasn't remembered the past, she now knows that Chu Jun is the key criminal wanted by the temple. If people know that he destroyed Baihua Valley, it will definitely attract everyone's attention, and the greater the chance that his identity will be exposed. .
Ah Chou said calmly: "Then Lei Ben's visit today must have caused suspicion."
Ding Qing nodded and said: "Now the rumors outside are pointing to him, saying that it was his promotion that caused the abnormal phenomenon. Baihua Valley was also destroyed by him and Evil Lord together, but Baihua Valley is obviously..."
Ding Qing didn't say any more, she just raised her head and glanced at the cave, and continued: "It's not Lei Ben. Lei Ben must have been suspicious when he came here this time, and came here specifically to test."
"Fortunately, you are alert, which should alleviate Lei Ben's suspicion!" A Chou said.
Ding Qing smiled and lowered her voice: "He went into seclusion last night when he came back. Based on the time when the vision occurred, could he have caused it?"
A Chou blinked and said, "Don't ask me, I don't know either!"
…
Ten days later, Chu Jun opened his eyes from trance, and his eyes flashed with lightning arcs for a moment before returning to normal.
Chu Jun stood up and let out a long breath. He finally stepped into the king level without any danger. It took him ten days to consolidate his cultivation.
Chu Jun stretched out his right hand, and the nine-section Thunder Buddha Bamboo appeared in his hand. The thunder spirit power was slightly released, and the nine-section Thunder Buddha Bamboo horse exploded with frightening sound. With a wave of his hand, a thunder gang shot out. , instantly flattening a nearby hill.
Chu Jun couldn't help but be very satisfied. The power of the nine-section thunder Buddha bamboo was at least 50% greater than that of bare hands. With these nine sections of thunder Buddha, he could confidently bring down the gods on the sixth level of the divine art without using the divine art.
Chu Shou made a magic formula with his left hand, and with a thought, he saw a huge power grid appear out of thin air, and the terrifying aura was overwhelming, completely covering an area of dozens of miles in radius. Chu Jun hurriedly removed the spiritual power interruption spell, and this terrifying power grid gradually disappeared.
This move is the king-level technique of the Five Thunder Zhengtian Jue [Catch All in One Sweep]. It is obviously a technique for causing large-scale damage. Although Chu Jun has never actually used it, its terrifying power can be seen. Once it is used on the battlefield, The damage caused will probably not be much weaker than [Burning in Ten Directions].
Chu Jun put away the Thunder Buddha Bamboo and found the "Record of Strange Events" mentioned by the Purple-faced Venerable from a pile of jade slips.
This "Record of Strange Events" records one hundred and eight strange events in chronological order, and is a companion volume to "The Legend of Strange Objects". The first thing told in "Records of Strange Events" is the God-Emperor of Creation. In fact, it mentions the Qiankun Waterfall, a rare treasure of the God-Emperor of Creation. It says: The God-Emperor of Creation was born in chaos and has experienced thousands of years. Spiritual wisdom has been born for billions of years. One day, it takes form and moves, traveling between chaos. By chance, it encounters a rootless waterfall condensed by the yin and yang energy. After refining it, it can lead to the outside of the chaotic world. The emperor uses it to travel through the heavens and the world. Finally, tired, he dies. Create the four realms, use the Qiankun Waterfall as the ritual, legislate the rules, and make the four realms circumambulate according to the ritual...
Chu Jun was deeply attracted by the magical and strange things described in it. He read all the way down. Most of the above described major events that had happened in the God Realm in the past. The twentieth thing mentioned the origin of the Zerg, which probably meant that the God Emperor traveled to all the world. When he was in the Tianwan Realm, he accidentally picked up a strange insect egg. Later, after the God Emperor created the Four Realms, the egg was left in the God Realm. After millions of years, the insect broke out of the egg and emerged as the Queen of Insects. It eventually became a major disaster in the divine world.
The seventy-ninth incident is about the Great God King refining the Xuantian Barrier to resist the Zerg attack. The above sentence caught Chu Jun's attention. It probably means that the Xuantian Barrier will become weak every 100,000 years or so. Periods of decline last for several years at a time before rebounding.
The number of one hundred thousand years reminded Chu Jun of the Fallen Immortal Era, and at the same time it related to Jiuding Yunyuan. The Nine Dragon Cauldron should be a thing created by the Gods, so Jiuding Yunyuan, the one hundred thousand year decline period of Xuantian Barrier, is still Is there any connection between the Fallen Immortal Period a hundred thousand years ago
An idea flashed in Chu Jun's mind, and he seemed to smell a conspiracy.
After half an hour of medicine, Chu Jun finished reading "Record of Strange Events". Although he didn't know how true the above description was, it was an eye-opener and he had a deeper understanding of the history of the divine world.
Chu Jun spent another day reading all the jade slips collected by the Purple-faced Venerable, which can be said to have benefited a lot.
In this pile of jade slips, Chu Jun also found a "Poison Sutra", from which the Purple-faced Venerable learned his ability to use poison to refine poisons. It also contained the Purple-faced Venerable's experience engraved on it after practicing.
Chu Jun was naturally not interested in using poison, but he still read it carefully, and based on the description above, destroyed all the poisonous plants planted by the Purple-faced Venerable in the small world, because he planned to give this small world to Ding Qing, naturally all hazards must be cleared out before that.
