Chapter 312: Fortune and disaster change overnight, the incident

Fu Changsheng stood in front of the mysterious pattern and waved his sleeves violently. In an instant, a gust of wind blew up, and the dust and gravel originally scattered on the mysterious pattern were swept away in an instant.

After the gust of wind, a circular stone wall nearly ten feet wide suddenly appeared before his eyes. On the stone wall, runes flickered, faintly emitting an ancient and mysterious aura.

Fu Changsheng stared at the runes on the stone wall, frowned slightly, and a sense of déjà vu surged in his heart:

"Barrier?!!"

This barrier is similar to the secret barrier of Hanlin River.

Could it be that there is a mysterious secret place hidden in this Broken Bone Cliff?

This thought flashed through his mind, but it made his heart beat faster involuntarily.

Fu Changsheng's eyes were fixed on the stone wall, trying to find out some clues from the complicated array patterns. However, he was just a layman who didn't know much about array formations. After looking at it for a long time, he could only see that these array patterns were extremely complicated, and the mysteries contained in them were far beyond his cognition:

"It seems that Yaoyao has to take action again."

Yaoyao spent ten years studying the secret realm barrier of Hanlin River. The other party has profound attainments in this area and may be able to get a glimpse of the clues.

Thinking of this, Fu Changsheng patted his storage bag, and a flash of light appeared. He took out the communication jade talisman from the storage bag. His fingers were as fast as lightning, and he typed a few spells into the communication jade talisman. The jade talisman suddenly hummed and trembled slightly. After Fu Changsheng whispered a few words to the jade talisman, the spiritual light of the jade talisman gradually faded.

In the next few days, Fu Changsheng came to the stone wall every day and looked at it carefully, hoping to find some new clues. However, the complicated array pattern was still like a fog, which made him unable to start.

After several days of hard research.

There was a sudden rapid buzzing sound from his body.

Fu Changsheng was delighted, knowing that it was Yaoyao who had rushed over from her fiefdom.

Yaoyao flashed and appeared in front of Fu Changsheng.

She keenly sensed the change in Fu Changsheng's aura, and her eyes suddenly lit up:
"Congratulations to father for breaking through the second level of Purple Mansion!"

After greetings.

Yaoyao's gaze passed Fu Changsheng and fell on the dry black pool behind him.

When she saw the mysterious runes on the stone wall at the bottom of the pool, Yaoyao's eyes were clearly filled with excitement. She patted her storage bag, and a thick book suddenly appeared in the air. She quickly opened the book, and saw that it contained dense records of Yaoyao's comprehension of the Hanlin River secret realm.

Yaoyao carefully compared the contents of the book with the runes on the stone wall. From the decomposition diagram, the two enchantments indeed had many similarities. She took out the detection array and began to study it with full concentration.

Half a month later, Yaoyao retracted her seal and a confident smile appeared on her face:

"Father, if I can break this barrier by myself, it will take eight years to open. If there are two more third-level formation masters, the time should be shortened by two years."

As she spoke, Yaoyao looked at Fu Changsheng with sparkling eyes: "Father, do you want to open this barrier?" There was some excitement in her voice that was hard to conceal.

Fu Changsheng pondered and said, "If this barrier is the same as the secret realm in Hanlin River, once it is opened, I am afraid that the Fu family will not be the one to benefit in the end."

"Father, are we just going to sit there and watch the treasure without entering?"

Yaoyao was somewhat unwilling.

She had already completed the practice of the Great Evolution Art, and even the Nine Heavens Star Art had reached the Flesh Refining Stage. If she had the Xuanyin Grass, she could have opened up the Purple Palace by now. So in addition to her curiosity, she was also a little more eager to open the barrier.

Fu Changsheng did not refuse outright, but instead focused his thoughts on the panel in his sea of ​​consciousness.

He knew in his heart that if a demon god was sealed behind this barrier, once it was opened, the lives of both father and daughter would be in danger. So, just in case, he decided to exchange some intelligence first to see the specific situation.

"Exchange information!" Fu Changsheng muttered in his heart.

hum!
The panel trembled, and a large amount of yellow light surged. Then, lines of text appeared:

[1: The barrier of the Gongsun family has been opened, and a small number of Gongsun clan members have begun to enter and exit the mountain gate]

[2: The Broken Bone Cliff you are at is the place where the ancient demons used to seal the ancient statues.]

[3: Luo Haitang will be out of seclusion soon, and will issue a conscription order to all the major families in Huainan Prefecture]

[4: Liu Meizhen has successfully broken through the second level of Zifu and connected the upper and lower Dantian]

[5: The Yu family has studied the two quasi-third-level corpse puppets of your Fu family for decades, and finally found a way to make them break through to the third level, but they need the third-level Xuanyin Pearl as an aid.]

[6: Ningning appeared in the fiefdom of the Seventh Prince. After being found by the people sent by Liu Meizhen, she left the Blue Luan Phoenix in the inn, and then used a secret method to secretly leave and continue to look for the whereabouts of Wood Flying Squirrel's parents. By coincidence, Ningning saved the life of the future Seventh Prince.]

[7: Molan has been granted special approval for her outstanding performance in the Wanhu Division. As long as she accumulates imperial merit points, she can exchange for the Soul Guiding Pill.]

[8: Fu Yongrui performed well in the Great Zhou Academy and was assigned to the northern frontier to collect intelligence on the sect for the court]

[9: The Yinan tribe thought that the destruction of the Yunou tribe was caused by Shangguan Li. In the past four years, they have continuously sent subordinate tribes to sneak into the Shangguan family's fiefdom and destroy the Shangguan family's resource bases. In the process of chasing the southern barbarians, Shangguan Li unfortunately fell into a dark river. It was a blessing in disguise that he obtained a powerful magic of turning beans into soldiers, and even broke through to the second level of the Purple Mansion in one fell swoop. ]

[10: The Cui family has already met all the conditions to be promoted to an eighth-grade family]

【11:】

Fu Changsheng exchanged twenty pieces of information in one breath.

Because Yaoyao was right beside him, he couldn't study the information carefully, so he just quickly wrote it down, and at the end, he paid special attention to the second piece of information. He met Yaoyao's urgent gaze, organized his words and said:
"Yaoyao, Qingru has investigated this barrier before. In addition, when Qiuchan broke through to the third level, she also obtained other information. This barrier was probably used by ancient demon cultivators to seal righteous people, so it should not be a secret place. After it is opened, it should not cause much of a stir."

"Father, what do you mean?"

"I will let Qingru and Changlei cooperate with you to study the barrier here. However, before that, we have to deal with the Gongsun family first."

The Fu family and the Gongsun family were already at war to the death. Since the Gongsun family's barrier had been opened, they had to completely eliminate the other party before their power was fully strengthened to prevent future troubles.

Yaoyao was somewhat worried when she heard this:
"Father, are we really going to take action against the Gongsun family? The Gongsun family is not like the Ping family. No matter what, it is an old-fashioned eighth-grade family. Moreover, after Gongsun Wen took the position of patriarch, judging from his measures to seal the mountain, he was quite bold. The Gongsun family has been closed for nearly 20 years. This time, they opened the barrier, most likely because they have something to rely on."

Fu Changsheng naturally took these into consideration. He knew very well that he could not wait any longer to attack the Gongsun family. If the other party accumulated more means, it would be too late to deal with them.

Yaoyao listened to Fu Changsheng's explanation and did not persuade him any more. The Fu family now has three purple palaces. Even if the Gongsun family has some ability, as long as they plan carefully, they can always succeed:

"Father, in this case, let's go now rather than wait for a day. Let's go and investigate the situation of the Gongsun family's mountain gate first."

"Ah."

Fu Changsheng nodded slightly.

The father and daughter set up a reversed five-element formation in the Broken Bone Cliff to prevent anyone from discovering the barrier while they were away. After the arrangement was completed, they rode on the green dragon and rushed to Gongsun's house.

Although the green dragon was escaping very fast, there was still a long distance between Broken Bone Cliff and the Gongsun family's fiefdom. After several days, they finally arrived at the Gongsun family's fiefdom. The green dragon had already disappeared. Fu Changsheng scanned it with his spiritual sense and frowned:
"This Gongsun family is really vigilant"

But then the Gongsun family's mountain protection formation was fully activated.

No one could be seen coming in or out.

Although the barrier was opened.

But it is still under martial law:
"It seems that the method of attacking the Yunou tribe is not feasible. We can only attack the mountain protection formation. Yaoyao, you turtle shell of the Gongsun family, are you sure you can break the formation?"

"Father, the Gongsun family's mountain protection formation has changed. It has been upgraded from the original third-level medium-grade to the third-level top-grade Eight-Gate Golden Lock Formation. This formation is based on the eight gates in Qimen Dunjia and has many variations. It can block the space and prevent the enemy from escaping. You must not force your way in."

Yaoyao said.

A wave of sleeves.

Suddenly, a training array was suspended in the air. After several days of practice, the Yaoyao seal was retracted.

Seeing this, Fu Changsheng hurriedly said:

"Yaoyao, how about finding a way to crack it?"

"Um"

Yaoyao nodded and said slowly:
"Father, although the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation is dangerous, there is a way to break it. Finding the formation eye is the key. It is the core of the formation, but it is hidden and its location is changeable. It requires a strong sense of perception of spiritual power to find it."

"The two gates of rest and life are relatively peaceful and can be used as breakthrough points, but they contain hidden mysteries; the two gates of injury and death are dangerous, the gate of Du is blocked, the gate of Jing is confusing, the gate of Jing is disturbing, and the gate of Kai is unobstructed, so you must avoid the real and attack the virtual."

"So when we break the formation"

"We need at least three formation masters who are familiar with the characteristics of the eight gates to work together to break the formation."

Fu Changsheng felt relieved when he heard that. He was the only one who could explore the center of the formation. As for the other formation masters, Chang Lei and Qing Ru could both help.

He immediately took out the jade talisman for communication.

A few words were spoken quickly. A few days later.

An invisible Tianlong warship was docked in Qianyu Mountain dozens of miles away from the Gongsun family's mountain gate. Yu Qingru and Fu Changlei in the warship used invisibility skills, and after meeting up with Fu Changsheng and Yaoyao, they arrived at the Gongsun family's mountain gate silently.

Fu Changsheng waved his sleeves.

Instantly, two [Life-Replacing Talismans] flew towards Yu Qingru and Fu Changlei respectively: "Take these things with you, just in case."

Although he was right next to them, he was afraid that something might happen suddenly and he wouldn't be able to rescue in time.

Yu Qingru and Fu Changlei knew that this was for life-saving purposes, so they did not refuse and accepted it immediately. The four of them carefully surveyed the mountain gate.

At this time, in an unknown underground city of Gongsun's family, all the residents of the city were wearing uniform white robes. No matter men, women, old or young, there were no exceptions. Even those who were paralyzed in bed and unable to take care of themselves were carefully carried by their families to the sacrificial square.

For a moment, the entire city was packed with people inside and outside, with the number of people no less than hundreds of thousands.

There were also many high priests and apprentices who had been enlightened by the immortals and had embarked on a spiritual practice, sitting in the sacrificial arena.

Among the mortal crowd.

The seven-year-old fat boy Huzi from the cook's family in Dalang Village was riding on the cook Zhao's neck excitedly, his little eyes curiously looking towards the altar:
"Dad, will there really be an immortal appear soon?"

"certainly"

Cook Zhao smiled and nodded.

When he was young, he heard from the old people in the village that the priests in the city saw the appearance of immortals fifty years ago. At that time, he just thought it was a legend that the old people told to fool the children and did not take it seriously. However, some time ago, a miracle suddenly occurred in the temple, and a sweet rain suddenly fell in the temple. The sweet rain was like the source of life, which made the land, which had been dry for more than half a year, rejuvenate and become fertile and full of vitality.

Not only that, the immortal also issued an edict, asking everyone to gather at the sacrificial square on the seventh day of the seventh month. It is said that at that time, the immortal will select the predestined person and bring him into the immortal path. Moreover, the immortal specifically instructed that regardless of gender, age, old, weak, sick, disabled or pregnant, everyone has the same opportunity.

A few days ago, people from the entire Five Elements Heaven arrived here early, all wanting to occupy a better position. People who were farther away from the Five Elements City could not squeeze in, so they could only line up in the outer city.

Hu Zi hugged his father's neck and said with longing: "Daddy, if I am chosen by the immortal, can I go to heaven and bring my mother back in the future?"

When Mr. Zhao heard this, he was moved. His wife died in childbirth, and in order not to make the child sad, he could only lie to the child and say that his wife went to heaven. Mr. Zhao gently squeezed his son's hand and said softly:

"As long as Tiger's magic is successful, you can do whatever you want."

"Really?" Hu Zi's eyes sparkled with excitement.

"Yes." Cook Zhao nodded firmly.

"That's great. From now on, dad, mom and Hu Zi's family of three will be reunited." Hu Zi smiled happily.

The stupid son of Liu the Butcher, who was standing next to Zhao the Butcher, also heard Hu Zi's cheers and clapped his hands foolishly, "Daddy, I want to go pick up Qiu Niang too."

Liu the butcher had two sons, but they were both stupid. He bought Qiu Niang as a child bride for his eldest son, but he never expected that his eldest son would die suddenly less than half a year after marrying her. In a fit of rage, he asked Qiu Niang to be buried with his eldest son. The younger son was raised by Qiu Niang for half a year, but he could not forget her.

Butcher Liu wanted to scold his stupid son, but he swallowed the words back when they came to his lips.

He looked devoutly in the direction of the Temple of Heaven and prayed silently in his heart:

"My Immortal, I have shown my divine power this time. I do not ask for anything but that you can cure my youngest son's illness. I am willing to live thirty years less."

Obviously, the people who came to participate in the sacrificial ceremony had different purposes. Some wanted to be selected, some came to make wishes, and of course, most wanted to see the immortal face.

"Dong Dong Dong!" accompanied by the deep and powerful drumbeats, the time has come. The temple priest stepped forward and respectfully performed the ritual of three kowtows and nine bows to the sky. The witches, dressed in gorgeous costumes, danced lightly, and their graceful dance seemed to be telling an ancient legend.

When the sacrificial ceremony was halfway through, suddenly, boom! The entire Five Elements Heaven shook violently.

The sudden tremor frightened the child so much that he started to cry loudly. The adults, with nervous expressions, consoled him, saying, "Don't cry, don't cry, the immortal will come out soon, he will come out soon."

Boom! The earth shook more and more violently, as if the whole world was about to collapse. Then, someone shouted, "Everyone, look up in the sky! The immortal has appeared!!"

Butcher Liu raised his head and saw a person appearing in the sky. He was sitting there with an air of immortality. The immortal was surrounded by a mysterious light, and his face could not be seen clearly. The crowd did not dare to look closely. At the shout of the high priest, they all knelt down devoutly:
"Meet the Immortal!"

Wait for the moment when everyone kneels down.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
However, in the Five Elements Heaven, with the Five Elements City as the center, within a radius of 100 miles, thick pillars of light shot up into the sky. Those pillars of light gathered together in the air, as if they were about to break through the clouds. Then, boom! A huge light shield fell upside down, covering the entire area.

Accompanied by the incantation of the immortal in the sky.

Bang bang bang!
The mortals kneeling below did not react at all, and turned into blood mist with a bang. The blood mist spread, carrying a strong bloody smell that made people want to vomit. The blood mist was pulled by the power of the formation and slowly condensed to the top of the immortal's head, and in an instant it condensed into a huge blood vortex.

After the blood was refined, wisps of pure blood energy sank into the immortal's head like a sudden enlightenment.

"boom!!"

After a long time, a purple aura suddenly emanated from the immortal. His originally ethereal temperament suddenly became evil. The immortal's eyes, which had been tightly closed, suddenly opened. Feeling the powerful strength brought by the breakthrough, he looked down at the Five Elements Sky, which had become an empty city, and muttered to himself:
"It looks like we have to find a new group of people to move into the Five Elements Heaven."

As he spoke, the immortal left the Five Elements Heaven with a shake of his body.

At the same time, the Five Elements Heaven's sacrificial array also disappeared, as if all this had never happened.

At this time, in a forest on the edge of the Five Elements Sky, a woman who looked like a savage buried her head with horror on her face, and then quickly returned to her underground tomb.

On the other side, in the meeting hall of the Gongsun family, the atmosphere was a little depressing.

The seventh elder on the left looked at the hourglass next to him again and couldn't help but frowned and said:
"The Patriarch suddenly ordered the removal of the barrier and summoned us all together, but we have been waiting for three days and the Patriarch has not shown up. Great Elder, why don't you send a message to the Patriarch? If this council does not convene, I will go back and continue my retreat."

"It doesn't matter if you stay in seclusion for a day or two longer."

The great elder was calm, but he was also wondering in his heart. He didn't know what the patriarch was up to. Before, the patriarch had clearly vowed that if there was no Purple Mansion in the clan, the barrier would not be opened for a day. Why did he suddenly change his mind?

Suddenly, the Great Elder's body shook:
"Could it be that a Purple Mansion master appeared in the clan?"

He quickly glanced at the elders present. All the clan members who had built their foundation had already gathered, but he was the one with the highest cultivation level. How could there be any Purple Mansion master?

Just as he was wondering, he saw a terrifying pressure rushing towards him from outside the hall.

"This is."

Everyone was shocked. Could it be that the southern barbarians were invading?

One by one, they quickly stood up from their chairs and gathered behind the great elder.

Seeing this, the Great Elder scolded:
"Look at you, you useless people. Our mountain protection formation is a third-grade, top-grade, eight-door golden lock formation. It is now in full operation. Even a late-stage Purple Mansion cultivator can't break in without anyone noticing. Go back to your original seats."

When the elder spoke, his voice was a little excited. Since he was not an outsider, the aura of this Purple Mansion master must be that of the patriarch.

However, the patriarch was only at the late stage of foundation building before he went into seclusion. How could he have broken through to the Purple Mansion in less than twenty years? Could it be that the ancestors of the clan left some tricks for the successive patriarchs?
Everyone just sat down.

boom!
But then a murderous aura rushed in from outside the hall.

When everyone looked closely, they saw that it was the patriarch whom they had not seen for many years, but this time the patriarch's aura had already reached the Purple Palace.

The elder's eyes lit up, and he was the first to react, and he immediately bowed and saluted:
"Congratulations to the Patriarch for breaking through the Purple Mansion. Great future is in store for you!"

Although everyone felt that the head of the family's temperament was completely different from before, these were nothing to mention compared to the appearance of a Purple Mansion master in their Gongsun family, and everyone hurriedly followed to congratulate him.

When he looked up, he saw Gongsun Wen already sitting on the upper armchair.

He looked around at everyone and said coldly:

"Everyone, from today on, our Gongsun family no longer has to live a life of hiding our heads and showing our tails. I believe that as long as we work together, we will be able to upgrade our family to the seventh rank, sixth rank, or even the legendary Jindan family."

At this point, Gongsun Wen paused for a moment, a cold light flashing in his eyes:

"Of course, before that, we have to exterminate the entire Fu family and avenge our deceased elders!"

The elder was still excited after hearing the first half. But when he heard that the Fu family was going to be attacked, he couldn't help but say:
"Patriarch, I heard that Fu Changsheng has a third-rank spiritual pet. In addition, when the Fu family was promoted to the eighth rank, the seventh-rank Luo family's first female Shura Haitang came in person to participate. Also, the Shangguan family has always been on good terms with the Fu family, and now the Shangguan family has produced a Purple Mansion master."

The Great Elder couldn't help but glance at Gongsun Wen, who was leaning nonchalantly on the armchair. He felt that after the breakthrough, the head of the family had changed not only in temperament but also in character.

Before this, the head of the family was always seeking stability, otherwise he would not have closed the mountain gate for nearly twenty years.

Gongsun Wen glanced at the elder with an evil look and said calmly:
"The one who broke through the Purple Mansion was Shangguan Li from the Shangguan family. Fu Changsheng's backer Shangguan Feng has been paralyzed and in a coma for who knows how many years. In addition, as a superior family, the Luo family cannot interfere in the fight between us eighth-rank families. Once we wipe out the Fu family, it will be just a matter of time before we are promoted to the seventh rank. Will the Luo family blame us for the destroyed Fu family?"

"Besides, Luo Haitang only showed up once when the Fu family was promoted to the eighth rank. After that, I have never heard of any connection between the Luo family and the Fu family."

Gongsun Wen raised his head slightly and looked at everyone without questioning:

"Reorganize the troops and block the news of my breakthrough to Zifu. Once you find out that Fu Changsheng is heading to Jingzhou, start a rebellion immediately!"
