In the blink of an eye, the colossal statue of Xuan Yuan, as well as the clones outside the formation, all collapsed and disappeared without a trace. Seeing the old Taoist Xuan Yuan suddenly fall from the sky, Ye Zan quickly flew over to meet him and asked what happened.
Fortunately, the old Taoist Xuan Yuan fell to the ground, but he didn't look very embarrassed, but the expression on his face was quite solemn.
"Old Taoist, you're not going to kill them with a trick, are you?" Although Ye Zan felt that judging from the battle outside just now, there was no need for Old Taoist Xuan Yuan to use this trick, but he couldn't think of anything else besides this. possible.
You know, the battle outside the Tongtian Peak formation just now can be regarded as a peak showdown in the Shenhua Domain. Whether it is Xuan Yuan Lao Tao here or the avatars of Tongtian Supreme Dao over there, they are all figures standing at the top of the pyramid in this world.
Therefore, if Taoist Xuan Yuan had not used the trick of burning jade and stone together, who else could have destroyed all the Dao clones and Dharma incarnations in such an instant
However, after hearing Ye Zan's guess, Master Xuan Yuan looked slightly embarrassed, waved his hand and said: "Hold on, there is another mystery to this matter, I will figure it out later!"
After saying this, Old Taoist Xuan Yuan stood there, closed his eyes, pinched his fingers, and muttered something like a magic stick.
However, compared to those fools who deceive people, the old Taoist Xuan Yuan still has real abilities. He pinched his fingers and muttered for a while. Although it was hard to hear anything, his brows were obviously getting tighter and tighter. It was obvious that he had really calculated something.
Finally, after a while, Taoist Xuan Yuan stopped moving his hands, slowly opened his eyes and let out a long breath.
Seeing this, Ye Zan quickly asked: "How's it going? Have you calculated anything?"
"Well," Old Taoist Xuan Yuan nodded, but he did not say what he had figured out. Instead, he asked Ye Zan: "Remember when you came here last time, you said you got Junior Brother Xuanzhen's Arctic Palace?"
"Yes, there is a small world inside. They are all descendants of the Taoist soldiers of the Yuqing Sect. They have built some kind of Taoist palace in it. There is also a Tongtian Tower, and there is a stingy tower boss inside. I don't want to waste any money with him. My boss has the strength to build a merit monument that is of no use to anyone else. There is also a big tree, a super huge tree, just like the legendary ancient tree of Taichu, much more generous than Ta Lao Ke. He gave me a lot of leaves..." Ye Zan didn't know what exactly Xuan Yuan wanted to ask, so he simply told what he saw and learned in the Immortal Palace.
"Stop!" Old Daoist Xuan Yuan suddenly interrupted Ye Zan, and asked with a bit of surprise on his face: "You said that Xiaota gave you a merit monument?"
The last time Ye Zan came here, although he also talked about the Arctic Fairy Palace, due to some reasons, the talk was not very comprehensive. He only mainly mentioned a series of things about breaking through levels and mysterious forces. After all, at that time, neither he nor Xuan Yuan was in a very good state, and they didn't have time to chat about things like ordinary people, so they ignored some things that were irrelevant to the topic.
Therefore, it was not until this time that Old Taoist Xuan Yuan knew that Ye Zan had also obtained a merit tablet from the Arctic Immortal Palace.
"Little Tower?" Ye Zan couldn't help but picture Old Tower in his mind, but considering the ages of Xuan Yuan and others, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with calling Old Tower Little Tower. But, will this weapon spirit also age
Xuan Yuan's previous question was just an instinctive reaction out of surprise. It didn't mean that he didn't hear clearly. Therefore, without waiting for Ye Zan to answer the question, he immediately asked again: "Besides the merit monument, do you know that there is another monument?"
"Is there another monument?" Ye Zan couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard this. He shook his head and said, "Then I don't know. I spent a lot of effort to get just this merit monument. Where can I get anything else?”
"Take me to see Xiaota." Xuan Yuan said with a frown.
Seeing the expression of Taoist Xuanyuan, Ye Zan knew that this was not the time to make jokes, so he immediately took out the Immortal Palace Token and opened a passage on the ground leading to the Immortal Palace's Tower of Babel.
Soon, Xuan Yuan Lao Dao and Ye Zan came to the Tongtian Tower of the Immortal Palace through that passage.
Before Elder Xuan Yuan and Ye Zan could summon him, Elder Ta ran out automatically. He looked at Elder Xuan Yuan with curiosity and said, "Hey, Xuanyuan, you are indeed still alive!"
In fact, from Ye Zan, Ta Lao already knew about the return of Taoist Xuan Yuan. Otherwise, where did Ye Zan learn the "Dongxu Lingquan Miaojing" from? However, Ye Zan didn't talk about Xuan Yuanlao's affairs in detail, so Ta Lao didn't ask more. Anyway, there is always a chance to meet.
"Xiao Ta, how did you become like this?" Mr. Xuan Yuan looked at Mr. Ta, who was older than him, and said angrily.
"It's been ten thousand years. If I were a mortal, I would have passed down the inheritance for countless generations. Naturally, I can't always be the same as before." Mr. Ta replied matter-of-factly, but he still changed his appearance and became He looked like a young man.
Ye Zan was not surprised at all about Ta Lao's changes. In fact, in his opinion, Ta Lao is like the artificial intelligence in the technological world. It is not surprising that the artificial intelligence has changed its appearance. Not to mention getting older and younger, even changing from male to female, or even changing species, for artificial intelligence, it is just a matter of changing "skin".
"Okay, let's not talk about old times for now. I came here this time to ask you something important." Although we haven't seen each other for ten thousand years, Master Xuan Yuan did not have any other meaning with Mr. Ta. It's straight to the point.
Mr. Ta also straightened his face and said, "Okay, what do you want to ask?"
Elder Taoist Xuan Yuan took a deep breath and asked with a hint of nervousness in his expression: "Let me ask you, the stone tablet that Junior Brother Xuan Zhen brought back from outside the territory was intended to be used to suppress the luck of the Yu Qing Sect. Still keeping it with you?"
"You mean, the nameless stone tablet that was brought back with the merit tablet?" Seeing Xuan Yuan's expression, Mr. Ta couldn't help but look a little more solemn.
"Yes, it's that nameless stone tablet!" Old Taoist Xuan Yuan nodded and said with great certainty.
"Oh, that stone tablet... is no longer there." Mr. Ta replied awkwardly.
"What!" When Old Taoist Xuan Yuan heard this, he didn't get angry immediately, but he obviously suppressed his anger and asked in a deep voice: "That stone tablet has always been kept by you, and now you say it is no longer there. ?”
"Um..." Ta Lao, who had turned into a young man, scratched his head in a humane manner and said helplessly: "Xuanzhen refining the stone tablet, only half of it was refined and then ran away. The other three of you also I’m missing, what can I do?”
"What do you mean! Who took that stone tablet?" Xuan Yuan asked in confusion.
"He's not that uncle of yours, old ghost Tianyu!" There was hatred in Ta Lao's tone.
"Uncle Tianyu Master... wasn't he suppressed in the Immortal Palace by Xuan Zhen? Don't say that he escaped..." When the old Taoist Xuan Yuan heard this name, his face suddenly became more gloomy.
"He escaped! You guys are not here anymore. I am just a spirit with a broken weapon. I am not qualified to take care of your great uncle." Mr. Ta also said quite dissatisfied. This dissatisfaction was not the same as that of Tianyu. Yes, but also to Xuanyuan and the four of them.
Ye Zan was listening to their conversation. Although he was still a little confused about the situation, he could understand what Mr. Ta was saying.
This is like saying that an artificial intelligence will have permissions set from the beginning. Since the person named Tianyu is Xuan Yuanlao and their great uncle, his authority will naturally be higher than that of Tao Lao, who is always taking orders from them. . Fortunately, this tower boss is not such a rigid artificial intelligence, otherwise, even the Arctic Fairy Palace would have been taken away directly by Tianyu.
"How did he escape!" Xuan Yuan asked almost through gritted teeth.
"Well, he paid a big price!" Speaking of this, Ta Lao showed some emotion, and then said in detail: "At the expense of his own origin, he broke through the restrictions in the forbidden areas of the Immortal Palace. A gap was opened, and only a wisp of true spirit escaped into the space of the Void Battlefield. Originally, I didn't want to pay attention to him. Any monster in there could destroy him, but who called him your master's uncle? "
"So you saved him?" Old Daoist Xuan Yuan's mood has returned to calmness, but his tone clearly still reveals his disgust for that great uncle.
"Yes, as soon as he shouted for help, I had no choice but to show up." Mr. Ta was helpless, nodded, and said: "Originally, he wanted me to recognize him as his master, but fortunately there is Xuanzhen's restraint. It was because of me that he couldn't succeed. Later, he asked for the nameless stone tablet and asked me to send him out of the fairy palace."
"Damn it, it really is him, he must be behind all this!" Elder Xuan Yuan also knew that Elder Ta was not to blame for this matter, he could only secretly regret why he didn't get rid of that scourge back then. But in fact, if they were asked to do it all over again, I am afraid that the four of them would still not do anything to Tian Yu. After all, who could call him their uncle
Ye Zan next to him neither knew about the nameless stone tablet nor heard of the name of Tianyu. However, through Lao Ta's narration, he seemed to understand one thing, so he immediately asked: "Lao Ta, who did you say broke the restrictions of the forbidden area and escaped to the space of the Void Battlefield? Later, who was Dao Lord Ling Han? Isn’t that where you enter the forbidden area?”
"Yeah, I really don't know if that kid is lucky or not." Mr. Ta replied nonchalantly.
There are currently two people imprisoned in the forbidden area of the Immortal Palace. One is Gouchen Supreme from the Arctic Sword Sect, and the other is Daojun Ling Han who is looking for Gouchen Supreme.
Gou Chen Supreme was imprisoned in the forbidden area of the Immortal Palace on the charge of "illegal trespassing" because he directly entered the main hall of the Immortal Palace and then wanted to explore the depths of the Immortal Palace.
As for Daojun Linghan, since he was only in the Dharma Realm and could accept the test of the Immortal Palace, he was sent to the training areas of the Yuanshen Realm and the Dharma Realm. In the void battlefield in the training area, he found a loophole in the space restriction. After passing through the loophole, he went directly to the forbidden area where Supreme Gouchen was imprisoned. It's a pity that the space loophole is easy to enter but difficult to come out. As a result, he and his master have been locked in the forbidden area.
Ye Zan was looking for Gou Chen Supreme and Ling Han Daojun precisely because he discovered the space loophole, and then followed the loophole to find where they were. But he has always been puzzled as to how such a loophole could appear in the Immortal Palace. Now it seems that this question has been answered. The loophole was left by the great uncle of the Tianyu Master.
"Master, you said it was your great uncle who was doing the trick. What are you talking about?" Ye Zan asked Xuan Yuan again.
"Do you know the origin of that nameless stone tablet?" Old Daoist Xuan Yuan calmed down and turned to ask Ye Zan beside him.
Ye Zan shook his head and said: "Then where do I know where to go? From what you two said, the nameless stone tablet was found from the endless void by Uncle Xuanzhen along with the Merit Tablet. It is probably also an ancient immortal. Something left over from the court, right?”
After Ye Zan came to this world, he collected a lot of information about this world and its history through various channels. But those information basically all happened in the past ten thousand years, and there are occasional myths and legends from even longer ago, most of which cannot be taken seriously. Therefore, the only condition he could use to speculate was the origin of the merit tablet. Since it was brought by Xuanzhen Dao Ancestor together, it might have the same origin.
Old Taoist Xuanyuan didn't expect Ye Zan to say anything, so he just nodded when he heard this, and then said: "That unknown stone tablet, according to the speculation of Junior Brother Xuanzhen and us, is indeed a legacy of the ancient fairy court. thing. Moreover, compared to the merit tablet, the origin of this nameless stone tablet is even more amazing. It is probably the token of one of the five heavenly emperors in the Immortal Court, and it is precisely because of this that it has great power to control the world. , Junior Brother Xuanzhen suddenly had the idea to refine the stone tablet and use it to suppress the fate of the Yuqing Sect in order to survive the catastrophe ten thousand years ago. "
"It's a pity that Taoist Xuanzhen was only half-refined and disappeared because of the great catastrophe. That stone tablet was given to your great uncle instead." Ye Zan continued what Taoist Xuanzhen said, and then raised the question My own question: "But, what I'm curious about is, since that stone tablet is to suppress Yu Qingzong's luck, what's the use of your uncle taking it? Is it to take over from uncle Xuanzhen to continue refining? But that way If so, when the stone tablet is completely refined, won’t the Yuqing Sect’s fortunes increase greatly and it won’t be reduced to a third-rate sect?”
"You have mentioned before that the mysterious force has been suppressing the Yuqing Sect for thousands of years. It has reduced the Yuqing Sect to a third-rate status through various means, but it has not directly eradicated the Yuqing Sect. Originally, I had no idea about that mysterious force. I am also puzzled by the actions of the forces, but if the person behind the mysterious forces is the old ghost Tianyu who escaped with the nameless stone tablet, this approach is understandable." Faced with the various questions raised by Ye Zan, Xuan Yuan said. Finally expressed his guess.
