Ch 496: The Master’s Secret
“You are truly reckless. That you survived the blow of that One Sword is pure luck.”
Lantern Woman shakes her head. The terror of that One Sword moved even her.
Since the Tianxuan Forbidden Zone was broken, she no longer needs to be restrained and can move freely. Although she can come to the Outside World, she is merely a dead person with no attachment to this world. It is better to remain by Li Qingfeng’s tomb.
After saying this, Lantern Woman continued to ask Li Hanzhou about the situation of the Longevity Temple.
Learning that the Longevity Temple is currently thriving and has even recruited many disciples, Lantern Woman felt some relief.
“The Daoist Sect’s current appearance is also hard-won.”
“It is a pity that Yu Zhenhong reopened the Heavenly Gate. The Tianxuan Realm is now very dangerous. If it were during the Longevity Temple’s most glorious era, there would be no need to worry too much. The current Longevity Temple, I fear, lacks the ability to reverse this calamity.”
“Although Master and the little fellow from the Eastern Imperial Palace resealed the Immortal Realm passage, the coordinates of the Tianxuan Realm were exposed when the Heavenly Gate was opened. Even if it was for a short time, it was certainly noticed by those in the Immortal Realm.”
“The arrival of Immortals is unavoidable.”
“Senior, what method is there to resolve this?”
Li Hanzhou’s expression turned serious, and he spoke.
He had heard from Lan Ting about the terror of the Immortal Realm’s inhabitants. It is as if their Tianxuan Realm is like ants that can be crushed with a flick of a finger before the Immortals. If any Immortal noticed the existence of the Tianxuan Realm and descended to this place, then chaos would surely ensue.
To the Immortals, these Tianxuan Realm natives are undoubtedly even more insignificant than ants.
If the other side wants to do something, whether good or bad, they cannot stop it; they can only watch helplessly.
“If you want a solution, you won’t find any method in the Tianxuan Realm. Otherwise, Master and the Eastern Imperial Palace wouldn’t have only sealed it without doing anything else. The best method is to, like Yu Zhenhong, re-condense the Heavenly Mandate and ascend.”
“The Immortal Realm is vast, its power as numerous as the stars; there must be a way.”
“However, the current spiritual energy concentration in the Tianxuan Realm is insufficient to support the condensation of the Heavenly Mandate. Therefore, the last Death Burial Feng Shui Formation in the Tianxuan Realm should be opened as soon as possible.”
Lantern Woman’s tone was serious.
“Correct.”
Master spoke from the side: “If the Death Burial Feng Shui Formation is opened, releasing the Tianxuan Realm’s spiritual energy will be of great benefit to the world. At that time, the Heavenly Mandate will gather, and the Heavenly Gate can be opened again to go to the Immortal Realm. Only in the Immortal Realm can we find a solution.”
Li Hanzhou suddenly felt immense pressure on his heart.
Lantern Woman and Master just casually told him to open the Death Burial Feng Shui Formation?
Currently, he doesn’t even know where the last Death Burial Feng Shui Formation is, let alone how long it will take to condense the Heavenly Mandate and ascend to the Immortal Realm.
By then, it’s uncertain if the Tianxuan Realm will even still exist.
Before that, he must first set up the Gathering Fortune Great Formation.
Besides that, there is the mysterious master of the Dao Annihilation Sect. Since they have created nuclear bombs, this terrifying hot weapon, their intentions in the Tianxuan Realm must be quite significant.
Thinking of this, Li Hanzhou couldn’t help but ask Lantern Woman and Master, “Two Seniors, do you know of the Dao Annihilation Sect?”
“It seems you have already encountered the Dao Annihilation Sect,” Lantern Woman said calmly.
“Senior, why did the Dao Annihilation Sect set up the Death Burial Feng Shui Formation? What is the relationship between that master of the Dao Annihilation Sect and Li Qingfeng?”
This has been a question he has long been puzzled by. He had also consulted various ancient texts and secret news, but he had found no clues.
The Death Burial Feng Shui Formation seals the spiritual energy of the Tianxuan Realm. However, among the cultivators of the entire Tianxuan Realm, except for the Longevity Temple’s cultivation method, they all rely on True Qi to cultivate.
Simply sealing the spiritual energy has no effect on the cultivators of the Tianxuan Realm. Then why did the Dao Annihilation Sect expend so much effort to do this? It doesn’t seem to have any benefit for them.
“You are wrong.”
At this time, Master slowly shook his head and said, “The one who set up the Death Burial Feng Shui Formation was not the Dao Annihilation Sect, but Li Qingfeng himself.”
Lantern Woman also nodded in agreement.
Hearing this answer, Li Hanzhou was greatly surprised.
The Death Burial Feng Shui Formation was set up by Old Man Li Qingfeng?
Then, wouldn’t this cut off disciples who need to rely on True Qi to cultivate the Northern Emperor Art?
Such an action is tantamount to destroying the future of their entire Longevity Temple, or even the entire Daoist Sect.
Looking at the perplexed Li Hanzhou, Master continued, “The reason why Li Qingfeng set up the Death Burial Feng Shui Formation was to seal the Heavenly Gate and prevent the Immortals of the Immortal Realm from noticing the Tianxuan Realm.”
“But, the Tianxuan Forbidden Zone…” Li Hanzhou couldn’t help but look at Lantern Woman.
“The Death Burial Feng Shui Formation was set up by Li Qingfeng, but the Dao Annihilation Sect also utilized it.”
Lantern Woman took a deep breath, “As for the master of the Dao Annihilation Sect, this person was merely a discarded child of the Daoist Sect.”
“A Daoist Sect member?” Li Hanzhou was immediately interested.
“This person once sought to become a disciple of the Longevity Temple, wanting to become a disciple of Li Qingfeng. However, his aptitude was too poor, lacking a Spiritual Root, so Li Qingfeng did not accept him. He knelt outside the Longevity Temple for three days and three nights, but still failed to move Li Qingfeng. I once asked Li Qingfeng, and his answer was that this person’s heart was not right, his personality extreme. Such a person will not go far on the path of cultivation.”
“Failing to become a disciple, he cursed Li Qingfeng for being blind. He then turned to other Daoist Sects, unfortunately encountering the Evil Path, using him as a cauldron to cultivate evil arts, almost causing him to be annihilated. By a fortunate turn of events, he escaped death and, fueled by resentment towards the Daoist Sect, he was favored by Heaven and somehow obtained the Longevity Grass.”
“Although this person lacks the aptitude for cultivation, he is ruthless and skilled at creating strange things. Using the Longevity Grass’ advantage, over a hundred years, he accumulated money and cultivated many experts, launching a frenzied revenge against the Daoist Sect.”
“Strange things?” Li Hanzhou frowned.
“I have never seen them, but I heard that some are magical hidden weapons, even more powerful than those of the Tang Sect, with tremendous power!”
Based on Lantern Woman’s description, Li Hanzhou couldn’t help but think of guns!
“This person became increasingly insane, and later, under Li Qingfeng’s leadership, the Daoist Sect almost completely annihilated the Dao Annihilation Sect.”
“Unfortunately, he escaped.”
“Just as the Daoist Sect was preparing to pursue their victory, the war between the Human Race and the Demon Race broke out. After this war, the Dao Annihilation Sect seemed to have truly vanished from the world.”
