It has been more than a hundred years since he ascended to heaven, and Zheng Yao's mood has never been so heavy.
After coming out of the teleportation array, he looked at the magnificent palace in front of him in silence.
This is one of the centers of Daluotian.
The Green Leaf Patriarch likes fine clothes and delicious food. Although he has ascended to heaven, he never treats himself badly in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation. After defeating the Bixi Immortal King on the fighting stage and being listed as a fairy master, he used his great magic to create a huge fairy palace out of thin air, named "Killing Red Realm", which is usually surrounded by white clouds and colorful clouds.
When people look at it from the ground, it looks like a mirage.
Zheng Yao had heard of her name in the Yuanshi Realm. After ascending to Shangxu, he had also seen her graceful figure from afar because of Fudaoshanren. But he had never been here by himself, and had no real interaction with the Green Leaf Patriarch.
Today, I have to come.
With something on his mind, Zheng Yao's steps seemed a little heavy. He climbed up the steps between the white clouds step by step, and then threw the visiting card in his hand towards the gate of the mansion.
The visiting card disappeared into the door in an instant, and then the door opened.
The immortal cave is surrounded by clouds and mist, and is planted with exotic grasses and green trees, but there are no bright and exotic flowers.
All is green, no pink at all.
A white stone path extends from the grass, crosses the gurgling stream, and disappears into the depths of the dense forest behind.
Zheng Yao had just stepped onto the path and just as he reached the stone bridge over the stream, he was about to follow the path into the woods when he unexpectedly saw a figure walking out of the woods first.
The Taoist robe was light grey, but had dark blue embroidery on the edges.
He is a young man.
He doesn't seem to be particularly outstanding in appearance, with a rather plain look between his eyebrows, and seems inconspicuous, but if you take a closer look, you can tell that his cultivation has already reached the top of the Daluo Heaven, and he is a rare saint!
He had a small stone knife hanging around his waist and a visiting card in his hand.
Zheng Yao took a look and found that it was the one he had just cast.
The visiting card was left by Fudaoshanren before he set out on his journey.
After the experience on Kunwu Cloud Sea, he seemed to have understood many things and no longer cared about many things. The only things he still cared about were Yashan and several of his disciples.
When he left, he only said, "Shangxu is not like the Nineteen Continents. The elders in this world are all capable people, so I don't need to worry about them. Jianchou girl has a lot of ambitions, so there is no need to worry. But it's better to be safe than sorry. After all, I still have some old friendship with Luye. This visiting card can be used to enter and exit her fairy palace, so you can keep it for now. If you encounter any problems in the future, just take the card to visit her."
Today, Zheng Yao came because of something.
But he didn't expect that before he met the Green Leaf Ancestor, a person who was somewhat unexpected to him walked out of this fairy palace.
The saint in front of him was none other than Master Buyu!
In the past, Zheng Yaoke had seen the Fairy in the Mist in the extreme area of the Yuanshi Realm, and had also heard various speculations about the ascension of this "Master Bu Yu". However, after the ascension, Master Bu Yu had become a holy immortal, and Fudao Shanren had never mentioned anything about the lower world to Ancestor Luye. Therefore, even if Zheng Yao had some doubts in his heart, he suppressed them and never made them public.
Seeing the other party coming up with a visiting card, he remained calm.
He just stopped on the bridge, showing a hesitant look, and bowed to the other party: "Master, Zheng is here to pay his respects to the ancestor. I wonder what this is for?"
Everyone knew that after Master Buyu ascended to heaven, he restored his appearance to that of his youth. For a cultivator, changing one's appearance was too easy, and the people of Shangxu had all seen him in his youthful appearance from the beginning, so they never thought there was anything wrong.
His face was actually quite stern.
His long eyebrows seemed to be cut by a knife, and when he looked at people, he did not have the dull and gray look of a fairy in the fog from the lower world, but instead showed an iceberg-like coldness.
The dark black eyes are like a deep pool.
He also stopped on the stone bridge. The dark blue corner of his Taoist robe also moved quietly with his movements. At this time, his eyes had already moved around Zheng Yao. He just bowed slightly in return and said, "The ancestor is not in the mansion now. A month ago, the White Emperor invited the ancestor to drink and asked the ancestor and the immortal to go to his Maori Palace to discuss the affairs of the wilderness. He has not returned yet. Buyu has also been waiting for her in this mansion for a long time. I just don't know why Master Zheng suddenly came to visit today?"
Invited by Emperor Baihe
The three Immortal Lords sat together to discuss, and they thought that things in the Desolate Territory might have some clues.
Zheng Yao had his own guesses in his heart.
But when he heard Master Buyu's question, he felt something was wrong: since he ascended to Shangxu, he heard that Master Buyu had been with the Green Leaf Patriarch because of the favor of giving away the Nine-Curved River Map. And because he quickly became one of the few saints, he was very close to the Green Leaf Patriarch, and there was a sense of bond between them. But no matter what, the other party shouldn't ask him directly why he came today, right
As soon as this thought crossed his mind, before he could even open his mouth to respond, Master Buyu, who was standing opposite him, seemed to have realized that what he had just said was inappropriate, and changed his words: "Buyu was abrupt, I just thought that I had some indirect friendship with you, Fudao Shanren of Yashan, in the past, so I asked too much. Since Master Zheng came to see her, it would be more appropriate to talk to her in person."
After all, Zheng Yao had been the head of Yashan for so many years. Although he was only a small earthly immortal after ascending here, Yashan was behind him after all.
After entering Shangxu, the existence of the sect is not so important.
After all, the Immortal Lords can destroy the stars with just a wave of their hands, and are often so powerful that one man can block the passage of ten thousand. Even if all the power of a major sect is gathered, they may not be able to defeat a single finger of the Immortal Lord.
However, the combat capability of the monks from Yashan should not be underestimated.
Zheng Yao seems to be idle, but he is very thoughtful, especially at this special time -
As early as when the Ten Death Order was first issued, Yashan had already known that the person to be killed on the Ten Death Order was Jianchou, and he had been looking for the identity of that "holy immortal" behind the scenes for the past few years. Unfortunately, Fei Xietian was already familiar with issuing the Ten Death Order, and he kept it a secret, and never revealed any information about the person behind the scenes, so they got nothing.

By now, rumors have spread throughout the Haotian star region that Jianchou has appeared.
I'm afraid that the opportunists in the surrounding star fields who know the news have already swarmed in, waiting to take Jianchou's head.
Everyone on Yashan was furious.
When he set out to pay homage to the Green Leaf Ancestor, Yashan had already sent thirty Golden Immortals and three Holy Immortals to the Haotian Star Region to provide assistance.
And the reason he came here was to find the person behind the scenes.
If it was anyone else around Patriarch Luye, Zheng Yao would have revealed his purpose without reservation today, but unfortunately, the person in front of him was Master Bu Yu.
They still don't know whether it was the inner demon that ascended to heaven.
Everything in the old days was just speculation.
Zheng Yao's mind raced, but he didn't dare to speak out. He only showed an awkward smile to hide his inner fear: "Your Excellency is too kind. I am here for nothing important, but it is not convenient for me to tell you. It is true that Master Fudao went on a journey a while ago and left some words for me to pass on to the ancestor, so..."
Master Buyu suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Zheng Yao.
Zheng Yao still smiled awkwardly.
The atmosphere at this time was truly indescribably subtle.
Zheng Yao could clearly feel it, but he didn't show it on his face. Instead, he pretended to be completely ignorant and said, "It's not a big deal. Since the old master is not here, I will come another day. Master, this visiting card..."
"Oh, Master Zheng, keep it."
Master Buyu seemed to have just reacted. After Zheng Yao's reminder, he handed back the visiting card he had just held in his hand, and a smile appeared on his face.
Zheng Yao took the visiting card and put it away.
Then he bid farewell to Master Bu Yu, said "goodbye", and left through the open door of the mansion.
During the whole process, Master Buyu did not stop him.
He just stood on the bridge, watching from afar Zheng Yao's plump and steady figure gradually disappear into the clouds.
The smile from before also disappeared.
Of course Zheng Yao couldn't see these subtle changes behind him. Even after coming out of the Red Killing Realm, he didn't even look back.
It was not until the moment he stepped into the teleportation array and left that his tense body relaxed.
At this moment, the space fluctuated and a cold wind blew, and I felt cold sweat on my back!
*
Haotian star field, Orions.
It was a desolate world, ninety-nine percent of it was covered with yellow sand. Some places were icy cold, some were scorching hot. However, in this barren land, there was one place that embodied the magic of creation. In this scorched and yellow land, it was like a grass that was turned green by the spring breeze.
A tiny oasis amidst the vast yellow sand.
It is like a secluded pool delicately depicted by a master painter, or like a half-dragon city where wandering poets and writers chant and recite poems.
Jiangnan Bank is a very artistic name.
However, those gathered here are not poets.
A river flows out from the depths of the desert, flows through this low area, gradually gathers, and nourishes green grass and trees. It is not very lush, but it is a wonder in this Orion star where most places are barren.
A city was built on this green land.
There is a high platform on the city wall, with a black dragon flag flying on it, and it is unknown which force it represents.
There was a simple wooden shed under the city wall.
It can be seen that the wood is all new wood that the monks casually used magic to transfer. Even the green leaves on the branches have not been removed yet, and they have been put together to form a temporary resting place.
At this moment, the countless cultivators who had received Sun Cheng's letter and rushed here were either in the city, or scattered outside to look for it, or were sitting here.
The people who came here at the beginning did not have very high cultivation levels.
But as time went by, the earthly immortals no longer had the qualifications to stay here. After seeing several golden immortals appear here with murderous intent, many of them left quietly, leaving only a few who were not sure whether to live or die.
In the eyes of others, seeing sorrow should be one of them.
She went there knowing full well that there was a tiger there. When she first arrived at the south bank of the river, there weren't many people there, so she chose an inconspicuous corner and sat down.
After the transformation, her appearance looked extremely glamorous.
But in the Shangxu Immortal Realm, no matter how beautiful a woman is, she is just a shell, so others would not care even if they saw her. Moreover, because her appearance is so eye-catching, others quickly ignore her.
Because no one could have expected her courage.
Who could believe that a man who was being hunted down as soon as he arrived in Shangxu would dare to appear in such a dangerous place
When they saw Jianchou, they at most guessed that she was from Feixietian.
So she sat in the corner with empty hands, wearing a loose black robe, without any guilt, listening to the noisy discussions of the monks here.
"It's been hundreds of years since Sun Cheng ascended to heaven? He died right away..."
"What's the origin of Jianchou?"
"I heard it's from Yashan."
"scare!"
"Look at you. Yashan had issued a ban several years ago, saying that Jianchou was a disciple of Yashan, and advised others not to act rashly, otherwise they would be enemies of Yashan. You didn't even know this, and you still dare to come here?"
"Then how dare you come here, fellow Taoist?"
"I'm here to watch the fun."
"But if this female cultivator has really just ascended, her level of cultivation is a bit scary, isn't it? When I first ascended, I was just like a greenhorn, I couldn't even find my way. This person called Jianchou actually just disappeared like that."
"Maybe he has already left Ansu?"
"Those who ascended from the Primordial Realm are truly extraordinary. Do you think she is the same as the Old Ancestor or the Master?"
"What's the meaning?"
"There's no need to talk about the ancestor. Didn't Master Buyu, who ascended later, also have amazing strength right after arriving at Shangxu? In the past thousand years, he has become a saint. Although his speed cannot catch up with the ancestor, he can still be considered a leader in Shangxu."
"Yes, those who come from the Primordial Realm are all evil!"
"That's just how ignorant you are. The Yuanshi Realm is the first realm created after Pangu the Great created the world. How can it be the same as other realms?"
"Yes, wasn't it said four hundred years ago that the Immortal Lords were setting up a great formation to calculate the things of the Yuanshi Realm?"
"What is that?"
"How would I know? Anyway, I heard that no results were calculated."
"Hey, I always feel that this is called seeing sorrow. It disappears without a trace. It's even more weird than the original ancestor. Is this going to be the second ancestor?"
"fart!"
Everyone was talking at once, and were about to talk half-seriously about the horrific things that happened to Green Leaf Patriarch in the past. But who would have thought that as soon as they said something untrue, a contemptuous and resolute voice came from above their heads.
There was a sudden silence in the wooden shed under the city wall.
Including several Golden Immortals, everyone frowned, hearing the disdain in these two words.
Jianchou was also stunned.
She had just arrived in this world and was curious about what kind of legendary experience the Green Leaf Ancestor, who once dominated the Tomorrow Star Sea, had after arriving in the Shangxu Immortal Realm. Who expected to be interrupted
Still such an impolite sentence...
With his brows slightly furrowed, he could already sense some breath.
She raised her head sharply and looked in the direction of the sound along with everyone else.
It was on the high platform of the city wall. The fluttering black dragon flag had been taken down by someone at some point and was now placed under the body of an old man in a black and white Taoist robe.
The old man's Taoist robe was black and white, and his hair and beard were also black and white.
Black and white each account for half.
The left side of his hair is white, the right eyebrow is white, the left side of his hair is black, the right side of his beard is black, looking messy and disoriented, he is holding a willow-leaf zither in his arms, stroking his beard and gazing into the distance, with a kind of aloof and arrogant attitude that looks down on everyone.
The person who first mentioned the words "the second ancestor" was an earth immortal with fairly good cultivation. He thought, how come he was labeled "bullshit" for just saying it casually
He was dissatisfied and very displeased with this uninvited guest.
He immediately slammed the table and stood up, frowning and saying, "We are just talking nonsense to relieve our boredom. If you have different opinions, there is no need to say such bad words, right?"
"fart!"
The male cultivator was quite restrained in what he said, but who would have thought that after he finished speaking, the old man sitting high on the platform on the city wall still uttered the same two words with disdain.
What he said was so powerful and sonorous!
Everyone below was stunned.
The male cultivator who was scolded "bullshit" twice had his face turning blue and red, but he didn't dare to say anything.
Everyone knows that Shangxu is full of cunning people.
Generally speaking, an arrogant person must have arrogant strength, otherwise he would not even know how he died.
Sure enough, after a moment of silence, one of the Golden Immortals finally recognized the depth of the man. His eyelids twitched, and he stood up from his sitting position. He bowed respectfully to the heights and said politely, "I have heard from the elders in the sect that there is a holy immortal in Daluo Heaven who plays the willow zither, has a strange personality, travels around, and has not appeared in front of people for many years. His Taoist name is 'Inverted True Man'. It is a great honor to meet him today. I am honored to meet you—"
The monk who claimed to be rich in gold and silver was also dressed in rich attire.
The gold and silver robes looked really dazzling.
He speaks in a very elegant manner, and if you don't know him, you would really think he is a very sophisticated person.
It was a pity that the senior sitting on the high wall didn't want to listen. He didn't even bother to wait for him to finish. He just sneered and didn't give him any face at all: "Bullshit!"
Not to mention the gold and silver, even Jianchou who was listening secretly couldn't help but frown: I have never seen such a Taoist who said three sentences in total but all three sentences were about farting!
