The icy thick fog kept rolling in front of my eyes.
It was like walking through thick mud, and the movement was very sluggish.
This is not surprising to Li Yan. I had the same feeling last time. Even if I think about it carefully, it is the same principle every time I receive Underworld Messenger Task.
However, the Netherworld Yin Division uses "Owl Zun" to connect with the "Gouji" to form a stable channel, which can not only communicate, but also transmit divine power and summon the Yin Division soldiers and horses.
Erlang Zhenjun's Nuo noodles are just a prototype, and they must be carried out secretly to avoid being discovered and offending Heavenly Laws.
It didn't take long for the thick fog in front of me to gradually dissipate.
When his vision became slightly clearer, he was already in vast darkness.
It feels like you are in the void of the universe, boundless.
The only thing that can be seen is the branch-like spots in front of the tree.
Li Yan knows, that is the small world in the Great Luo Dharma Realm.
Netherworld, Pure Land, Heaven... and other mythological existences.
But this time, I made a different discovery.
Those light spots look like tree branches, but if you calm down and look carefully, they look more like another structure:
Ant nest!
All light spot structures have a core.
Starting from the core, other light spots spread outward, really like ants digging holes, twisting and turning, and finally forming this tree-like light spot.
The Pure Land, Heaven, and Netherworld are connected precisely because of this.
Li Yan frowned slightly and felt something in his heart.
He somehow felt that this should be one of the Great Luo Dharma Realm's secrets.
Whoosh!
Before he could think about it, a strong suction force came.
Bronze Nuo Mask's breath pulled him, and his line of sight quickly narrowed, but the direction he was heading was different from last time. It was at the connection point between two groups of tree branches.
Li Yan also suddenly remembered that Five Paths General once hinted that Erlang Zhenjun went to guard the connection between the Netherworld and Heaven because it was difficult to arrange in the Netherworld.
The thought passed away in a flash, and a majestic scene came to mind:
Different from Li Yan's imagination, as the link between heaven and the underworld, there is no fairy spirit lingering here or Yin Wind roaring, but a dead silence and wilderness.
As far as the eye can see, there is a plain of solidified magma as red as blood, covered with thick, lifeless chaotic dust.
The sky was dark and dim, and everything had a cold, hard sheen.
The horizon is endless, but in the middle there are a large number of twisted and continuous gray-brown rock wall faults, forming a ferocious, steep and bottomless canyon.
It looks like a crack in the earth, or formed by the collision and collapse of the mantle.
Looking to the end of the earth on the left, the sky there shows a solid blue color. Deep in the cracks in the ground, the scorching light of lava shines through. The ground is covered with sharp glazed substances, like a sharp sword thrust into the sky.
Occasionally, you can see huge, pale boulders full of holes leaning to the ground, with vague remains of huge flat patterns or broken pillar foundations.
It should have once been some kind of magnificent building, but the wind and sand have long since eroded all its splendor, leaving only the cold essence of the ore...
On the right side, it looks even more eerie and dead.
The sky sank into a deep purple and almost black twilight, and the earth was covered with thick black basalt and cold gray hard clay, like an ancient dry river bed.
Countless huge and weird skeletons are scattered on the river, and some are even entangled with the remains of huge bronze chains...
The scene in front of me is like a Gods and Devils battlefield!
Li Yan was stunned and took a long time to come back to his senses.
He looked at the center where the two met. There was obviously the ruins of a building with an ancient and simple style. He didn't know what age it was, but it had already collapsed.
But even if only the stone foundation is left, it is comparable to a small mountain.
At the top of the ruins, a person sat quietly cross-legged with his back to him.
It is Erlang Zhenjun!
At this moment, Li Yan is not an entity, but is being observed through Bronze Nuo Mask. Therefore, as soon as his mind moves, his sight quickly zooms in, reaching the top of the ruins.
"Coming..."
A hoarse and cold voice sounded, it was Erlang Zhenjun.
Without waiting for Li Yan to be surprised, he continued, "No need to be surprised, this is the Two Boundary Mountains, and even <Heavenly Laws> cannot detect it."
Li Yan opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but no sound came out.
And Erlang Zhenjun also slowly floated up and turned around.
After not seeing him for a long time, his appearance changed again. He was completely different from the Yang Chenghua in the human world. His skin was shiny and shiny, more like a statue of a god in a temple.
He also didn't speak, but the three eyes on his forehead flashed with golden light. Following the rhythm, a voice sounded in Li Yan's mind, "This is the Nuo face I left behind to use the technique of entering dreams. You are not good enough, Divine Soul can't talk to me."
"Let me tell you, just listen with peace of mind..."
Seeing Li Yan nodding, he turned and looked into the distance, "At first I was not interested in this Great Luo Dharma Realm, just because I promised to communicate with you, but after these days of exploration, I found that there are many secrets in this place."
To an outsider at this moment, it would appear that Erlang Zhenjun is talking to himself.
Li Yan, on the other hand, was deeply attracted and listened attentively.
"The origin of the Dharma Realm is unknown. Perhaps only the top immortal gods, such as the Three Pure Ones, Four Imperial Kings and Tathagata Buddha, know the inside story, but they are hidden in the depths of Daluo. They only occasionally send boys to deliver decrees. Since I was promoted to Daluo, I have not seen any of them..."
"In the Dharma Realm, there are three levels of immortals and gods."
"One is called a true immortal. Anyone who Human Path travels to the ninth level and becomes a Yang God is the pinnacle of the human world. If he has the opportunity to ascend to heaven, he will leave his mortal body and come to the Great Luo Dharma Realm. If he devotes himself to cultivation, he will have the opportunity to step into the tenth level of Daoism and become a true immortal from then on."
"Everyone from the tenth to the twelfth floor of Daoism is a true immortal. Most of what I have seen are true immortals. Many of them are difficult to break through until Celestial Person. Because the incense in the mortal world is strong, I have reached the tenth level, so I am feared by others..."
"The second is the Heavenly Immortal, which is equivalent to the thirteenth to fifteenth level of Daoism. Once you reach this level, you are already a giant in the Dharma Realm, such as Jiutian Yingyuan Universal Transformation Tianzun, Tenth Hall Yama, etc."
"Further up is Daluo. From the sixteenth to the eighteenth level of Daoism, you can create another cave in the Dharma Realm. Many gods and true immortals are under their protection. They are the real rulers of the Dharma Realm..."
"As for the Netherworld and Heaven, there will also be some creatures. For example, there will be maids and spiritual officials in the Heavenly Court, there will be evil ghosts and demons in the Netherworld, and there will be flying deities in the Pure Land of the Buddha Realm. They cannot fall into the mortal world. The reason for their birth may be related to human beliefs..."
Listening to Erlang Zhenjun's words, the scene just now suddenly came into Li Yan's mind.
Seen from the void, the branch-like spots of light in the Dharma Realm trees and the holes separated by them, are they the openings of Da Luo?
He really wanted to ask, but Erlang Zhenjun obviously didn't take it seriously and continued in a deep voice, "This is the general situation in the legal world. It is not difficult to find out. It's just that the constraints of <Heavenly Laws> have not been leaked."
"But I discovered something even more important!"
After saying that, he tilted his body and flew out of the air.
Li Yan's sight followed closely, and the surrounding scene quickly retreated.
Not long after, we came to a deep canyon fault.
Looking down, it was dark and deep, with white mist billowing out.
The exposed rocks on both sides are clearly visible, ferocious and barren.
Li Yan frowned slightly and looked at Erlang Zhenjun.
This canyon was indeed magnificent, but he couldn't figure out why he came here?
Erlang Zhenjun didn't waste any time, directly grabbed his attention, jumped into the canyon.
His sight dropped rapidly, and Li Yan finally discovered something unusual!
The rocks on both sides of the canyon do not exist in isolation, but are squeezed layer by layer.
Is this... sedimentary rock?
Just when Li Yan was confused, Erlang Zhenjun finally stopped at a place.
And Li Yan's eyes widened in disbelief.
In those fractured and twisted sedimentary zones, there are vaguely visible huge statues of gods, broken altar fragments, and even the bones of giant beasts sealed and solidified in the ore.
Everything has lost its luster and Spiritual Charm, like weathered rocks.
Moreover, they are all things that Li Yan has never seen before!
Li Yan had a guess in his mind and looked at Erlang Zhenjun.
Erlang Zhenjun did not hide it and continued in a deep voice, "Great Luo Dharma Realm may have been destroyed more than once, and it was related to the belief in the world of mortals. This is also the reason why <Heavenly Laws> was born."
"I have seen the two gods Shen Tu Yu Lei. Due to the passage of time, they have fallen into deep sleep and their skins have turned into rocks. Peach Capital Mountain has been almost abandoned because of this, and all the criminals have been sent to the eighteenth level of hell."
"There are also rumors that the overseas divine world is bordering the Netherworld, perhaps related to the opening of the sea..."
"The people in Heaven are very secretive about this matter. The Jianmu Rebellion may have started because of this!"
That's it!
After listening to Erlang Zhenjun's analysis, a lot of confusion in Li Yan's mind was instantly solved.
No wonder, Jianmu Demon Man can be so wreaking havoc, and there are still people in the legal world to help.
If it concerns the future of the Great Luo Dharma Realm, there will inevitably be different positions.
At this moment, Erlang Zhenjun frowned slightly, looked into the distance, and said in a deep voice, "Someone is here. I want you to help me this time."
"There are rumors that Mount Tai Prefect is about to be replaced. You can go to Mount Tai to find out the reason. If you have the opportunity, help me win this position and use it to deal with the catastrophe in the future..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Yan's vision was wrapped in white mist.
When he opened his eyes again, he was already in the inn.
This time when we entered the Dharma Realm, it was already dark outside for at least a few hours.
Li Yan felt weak all over and struggled to get up. His vision went dark and he almost fell down.
After entering Great Luo Dharma Realm and staying there for such a long time, even with Erlang Zhenjun's help, Divine Soul will consume a lot.
Li Yan didn't care, he came to the suitcase, took out something and put it in the palm of his hand.
Black as glass, it is the "Coal Essence" transformed by a trilobite.
He had wondered before how this thing was born.
But the trip to the Great Luo Dharma Realm gave him an idea.
There are two evil spirits in this world, maybe the mythical era is older,
It's just that those ancient times have faded away and turned into the "layered myths" seen before, and now the immortals and gods in the legal world will eventually face the same situation.
Is the person behind Jianmu the one unwilling to let the end come to an end?
There is also a commission from Erlang Zhenjun.
Mount Tai What happened...
It was another early morning, and the sky over the capital was covered with clouds.
The air is so thick that water can be squeezed out of it.
Overnight, those powerful Daoist giants: Dragon Tiger Mountain Zhang Tianshi, Zhongnan Qiu Changchun, Emei Wang Miaoyin, Wudang Yu Chanzi, Qingcheng Chen Kongzi--
Everyone has quietly entered the city!
The place where you stay is closely "protected" by Commandery Commandant Office.
Despite all kinds of obstructions and delays Zhao Wujiu along the way, they ultimately failed to stop these great sect leaders who held heavy treasures and were well versed in mysteries from gathering in the imperial city.
Deep in the imperial city, the side halls with carved beams and painted buildings were shrouded by the invisible Solemn and Killing Intent.
Emperor Xiao Qixuan looked slightly pale, and his eyes were full of anger.
Zhao Wujiu stood aside with his hands lowered, his breath as calm as an ancient well, and the eyes he occasionally raised were as sharp as a hawk, scanning the following few immortal Daoists, but they could not conceal their awe-inspiring expressions.
The contents of the confidential discussions are unknown to the outside world.
But the palace wall is not an iron barrel after all. All kinds of heart-stopping words and phrases quietly seeped out through various channels and penetrated into the ears of the big shots with keen sense of smell in the city:
"Zhang Tianshi said that 'the master of the divine weapon is impermanent' and needs to 'submit to heaven and respond to people'... But His Majesty has an iron heart..."
"His Majesty was furious and denounced Qiu True Person as being 'old-fashioned and stubborn', saying bluntly that 'a new heaven needs a new god'..."
"Headmaster Wang used the chaos in Sichuan as a metaphor, saying that the change of divine positions can easily lead to external evil..."
"Chen Kongzi mentioned the 'Peach Capital Tree Theft Case', which seems to be an insinuation that Zhao has acted inappropriately..."
"Daoist Priest Yuchan was relatively silent and did not speak..."
Every piece of news is like a boulder thrown into stagnant water, causing ripples in the limited core circle.
The knowledgeable Xuan Gate People is worried.
The emperor is determined to use his secular imperial power to completely control the Human Path revolution.
What does this mean?
Of course they know.
The emperor's suppression of Xuanmen will be further strengthened.
They didn't care who controlled the Human Path artifact. What they were more worried about was that the imperial court and Xuanmen were completely on opposite sides, causing Divine Land turmoil.
Don't underestimate the potential of Xuanmen.
As long as you turn a blind eye, Maitreya Sect can cause serious trouble. In the past, when the Great Rebellion destroyed the dynasty and Daxuan replaced it, Xuanmen exerted a lot of force.
The news naturally reached Qiankun Academy.
Master Mo Sect, Tao Fengchun, looked at the Sui Lun True Monarch statue in front of him, which only had its frame completed, was more than ten feet tall, and glowed with a cold metallic luster, and sighed heavily.
The ruler and compass in his hand marked the ground unconsciously.
The newly filled dents on the base of the statue are the hidden dangers planted when Lu Chengye was coerced yesterday.
The old man was filled with self-blame.
If I had been more vigilant, I wouldn't have been taken advantage of by the devil.
Supervisor Yuan Feng also looks a lot older.
After this incident, the Mohist family's originally prosperous momentum declined again. The emperor's trust was bound to be reduced, and trouble would be inevitable in the future.
Finally, a golden book came out from the palace gate and filled the capital in the afternoon.
The content is brief, but enough to suppress all rumors:
"The Emperor, who is carrying the fortune of heaven, issued an edict: I am grateful to the heaven for the fallen image, and the people are supported. It is hereby scheduled to enshrine the statue of the Suilun Manifest Saint True Lord in the main hall of Altar of the God of Earth and Grain at the hour tomorrow. I have been ordered by heaven to take charge of the task of creating creation and communicating with the gods..."
"I decree that all officials of the third rank or above in Beijing, nobles, real masters of Xuanmen, and eminent monks of great virtues, will enter the palace at Yin time tomorrow to participate in the consecration ceremony together to subdue the divine power and reveal the will of God. Announcement to China and foreign countries, and the envoys will hear about it!"
The position of Feng Chi is extremely respected - "the duty of being in charge of creation and communicating with gods".
The consecration ceremony itself was of an unprecedented high standard and required the presence of dignitaries in the capital and Daoist leaders.
Once the decree was made clear, the specious secret conversations and rumors suddenly ceased, leaving only the absolute silence before the storm.
The huge chariot of the imperial court has rumbled into action, and there is no room for doubt or turning back. Altar of the God of Earth and Grain was surrounded by the Habayashi Guards overnight. Officials from the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Internal Affairs came in and out, and the lights were brightly lit until midnight...
And everyone who knew the inside story breathed a sigh of relief.
Sui Lun True Monarch will meet Attendant at Altar of the God of Earth and Grain, and all the major Daoist masters will hold a consecration ceremony together, and Sui Lun True Monarch will also be included in the lineage of immortals, and will be welcomed by all people Attendant in the world.
This can be regarded as a concession for both sides.
Divine Land Human Path changes finally did not start with war...
