"Daxia officials named the ruins the Immortal Relics."
"The Immortal Ruins are located in a small mountain near Dayan County. The locals call this mountain Waste Mountain. The resources in the mountain are scarce and the scenery is mediocre. The locals don't come to Waste Mountain very often."
"After preliminary exploration, it is speculated that these are relics from the late ancient times."
Before going to the ruins, Yunzhi briefly introduced the ruins to Lu Yang and the Immortal Fairy.
Seventy percent of people's current understanding of ancient times comes from records of their predecessors, and thirty percent comes from excavations of relics from the Daqian Dynasty.
Because an unknown person refined the stars in ancient times, there are very few relics from ancient times, and most of them are incomplete, and it is almost impossible to obtain any useful information.
Lu Yang is different. His understanding of the ancient times is 100% dependent on the Immortal Fairy.
After listening to the senior sister's introduction, Lu Yang opened his mouth and looked very hesitant.
"What is it?"
"Do we need to introduce the ruins while eating hot pot?"
The hot pot in front of Lu Yang was bubbling, and there were plates of beef on the table. According to the store owner, these were the hanging dragon, spoon handle, three-flowered toe, five-flowered toe, and beef offal platter... Lu Yang had never thought that the various parts of the cow could be divided so meticulously.
Opposite the hot pot, the beautiful female cultivator looked at Lu Yang eating hot pot with an expressionless face, which made Lu Yang feel very stressed.
Now it's like an execution, we might as well go directly to the Immortal Ruins.
The beef hotpot is famous all over the world, and diners here all come for the hotpot, but the eldest sister's detached temperament is incompatible with the atmosphere of this hotpot restaurant. Many people can't help but turn their eyes to Lu Yang and Yun Zhi, curious about their identities.
If someone is careful, they will find that although the man and the woman are talking, no word of what they are saying can be heard. This is not a simple thing like a soundproof formation, but a deeper level of magic that is close to an illusion.
Yunzhi picked up a piece of beef from the pot, dipped it in the shacha sauce, opened her mouth slightly, and put the piece of beef into her mouth. Her movements were so graceful that it didn't seem like she was eating hot pot, but more like eating extremely precious natural treasures.
"Beef hotpot is a specialty of Dayan County. It's a rare opportunity for you to come here, so you should try the local delicacies to enrich your experience. You have an unconventional personality, so you are destined to follow the path of worldly cultivation. This is also part of your cultivation."
Yun Zhi paused, and continued, "We are also celebrating your successful advancement to the Golden Core Stage."
As she spoke, Yunzhi raised her teacup and clinked it with Lu Yang's.
Lu Yang was flattered and picked up the teacup carefully.
After the meal, the two left the restaurant. Lu Yang was savoring the taste. It was really delicious.
Just as Lu Yang was about to ask where to go next, he felt the senior sister grabbing his collar.
The eldest sister took a step forward, the space twisted, the scene changed, and she came directly from the restaurant entrance to the desolate abandoned mountain.
"This is what it means to shrink the distance into an inch!" said the Immortal Fairy excitedly.
After staying with Lu Yang for a long time, she almost forgot that the real shrinking the earth into an inch was a space spell, not drilling around in the soil.
…
On the abandoned mountain, officers and soldiers set up camp, ready for battle. These were the elite troops of the Great Xia Kingdom. They all had cultivation and could form a large military spirit formation to fight the enemy.
The Immortal Ruins are the birthplace of the Immortal Religion, so the imperial court cannot help but pay attention to it.
"But is Fellow Daoist Yunzhi here in person?" An old general wearing heavy armor and with a resolute look on his face walked over. The armor made a heavy sound with every step he took.
The old general had already received news that the Taoist sect would send people here to explore the immortal ruins.
He controls this elite army, which can even fight against cultivators in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, and he holds a high status in the court.
But he didn't dare to rely on his power to be arrogant in front of Yunzhi.
The reason was simple, he had the honor of seeing Yunzhi in action.
At the same time, he was also wondering in his heart, by asking Yunzhi to come over, did the court want to explore the immortal ruins or demolish them
Yunzhi nodded and said nothing more.
The old general fixed his gaze on Lu Yang, a young cultivator who had just reached the Jindan stage. He didn't understand why Fellow Daoist Yunzhi brought him along.
The old general did not ask any questions. Since it was brought here by Fellow Daoist Yunzhi, there was no need to worry about it.
Can he still stop Yunzhi
"Please come this way." The old general made a gesture of invitation and invited Yunzhi to enter the Immortal Ruins.
The soldiers who saw this scene were secretly wondering who the person was that made the general treat him so seriously
The eldest princess? The eldest princess? A great monk in the Tribulation Crossing Stage
The soldiers were of extremely high quality, and even if they had doubts in their hearts, they did not show them, but stuck to their duties and practiced how to kill the enemy in battle.
The old general brought the two to a deep, dark cave. "This is it. According to the Immortal Sect's followers, more than 10,000 years ago, the first leader was inspired by an immortal and came here in his dream. He saw two old men playing chess. One of them was an immortal, and the other was an ancient nameless person."
"The first leader was attracted by the chess. When the game ended, the two old men and the chessboard disappeared. The first leader woke up from his dream and found himself walking into the mountains without knowing it, and came to the entrance of the Immortal Ruins."
"But according to our investigation, the above experiences were all fabricated to elevate the origins of the Immortal Cult. The only thing that is consistent with the actual situation is that the protagonist is the first generation leader."
"The actual situation is that the first generation leader illegally cut down trees here to sell, and was later discovered by the court and imprisoned for fifty years. After he was released from prison, he reviewed his criminal experience, summed up his experience, and actively improved himself. Then he specially learned the "Tree Planting Technique", planting trees while pulling them out, and soon he practiced the "Tree Planting Technique" to perfection."
"When he pulled out one of the ancient trees, he discovered an unfathomable cave underneath the tree. He was so surprised that he bought a personal accident insurance and went to explore the cave."
"Then he discovered the Immortal Relics, learned about the existence of the Immortal Immortals, and obtained several Immortal Treasures. He was greatly inspired and thought that joining a cult would make him earn spirit stones faster than cutting down trees."
"This is also reflected in the criminal law. The former is the death penalty, and the latter is a fixed-term imprisonment."
"When we were establishing the Immortal Church, we also encountered many difficulties, such as insufficient funds and manpower."
"If you don't have enough funds, you can take out a loan. If you don't have enough manpower, you can find colleagues in the prison. The first generation leader overcame many difficulties and finally established the Immortal Sect."
“…How did you manage to find out such detailed experiences?” Lu Yang felt that the first generation leader’s experiences were really rich, enough to write a book.
The imperial court is very powerful, as they were able to conduct such a detailed investigation.
"Oh, it's not difficult to investigate these things. After all, he wrote a memoir."
The old general took out a book from his arms and said, "This is it. I've been reading this as a novel recently. It's quite interesting."
Lu Yang: “…”
You still think you've achieved success, right
The old general added: "Later, the second-generation leader sought power and usurped the throne, killed the first-generation leader, and falsely claimed the insurance compensation from the first-generation leader."
