Chapter 143
Li Wuxiang could only nod, but he still felt confused.
On the one hand, it’s because of what I just saw.
He had seen many bizarre things since coming to this world, but the one he just saw was the first time...
Indescribable.
It completely exceeded his previous understanding, and he was so shocked that he didn't feel shocked at all, but accepted it immediately.
He didn't know what Jiang Jie meant by "Taiyi's remains", but this thing changed his opinion of Jiang Jie.
Before, he thought that Jiang Jie might be claiming that he had the Taiyi True Spirit in him in order to rally the hearts of the Sword Sect.
He has already reached the level of Yang God, with this kind of strength, maybe even if Taiyi True Spirit came to this world, he would not be as strong as him - the Plum Palm Sword can kill the Five Mountains True Spirits invited down by the Spiritual Refining Cultivator with one sword! Then he made up such a lie, and no one could see through it.
However, now he was inclined to believe that what Jiang Jie said was true.
It was because of the second point that confused him——
Li Wuxiang had already thought of these lines of poetry, "The Jade Emperor has not yet sent his talisman from heaven, and yet you're still selling black gold to fool the world." when Mei Zhangjian complained to him about Jiang Jie's "maturity and prudence."
What I was thinking was that now that I had come to You Jiuyuan, when the time was right, I might use these few words to win his favor and ease the relationship.
When he recited this poem just now, he was thinking that although Jiang Jie had behaved in a disgusting way before, he would remind himself not to look at the fog, which shows that he also cares about his own safety. This kind of person may be stubborn by nature, but he is not a bad person, and he can barely get along with him.
But he didn't expect the effect to be so good - the attitude towards him changed immediately, and it even seemed that he changed from disgust to acceptance.
Did Jiang Jie realize this? Was he so easy to please? Was it because of this that he paid more attention to the "character" of people when recruiting them?
At this time, Jiang Jie had raised his hand in the mist and said to Li Wuxiang, "Follow me."
He took a step forward and immediately disappeared in the mist. Li Wuxiang quickly followed him.
The next moment, there was light before his eyes. He was halfway up a hill, and he saw an endless blue sky that was a little green, as if it was about to drip with water.
In the distance was a vast plain, but unlike the plain leading to the Coffin City, that plain was not covered with grass, rivers, or trees, but a densely packed city!
Li Wuxiang couldn't tell whether it was one city or many cities. Many houses were connected on the plain. In some places, the buildings were sparse and taller, as if it was the center of the city, but in some places, the houses were more beautiful and neat, as if it was a residential area.
The city spread out from the foot of the mountain where he was, all the way to the end as far as the eye could see, but there was still no wilderness or fields to be seen!
He opened his mouth in astonishment: "This is..."
But Jiang Jie was no longer beside him. Standing a few steps away was Mei Zhangjian, who seemed to be waiting for him here on purpose.
Seeing him like this, Mei Zhangjian also looked into the distance and sighed softly: "This is the old capital of the Ye Dynasty. This is the scene after Taiyi achieved true immortality. The people are in the billions and humanity is prosperous."
"What you see now are all illusions in the Nether Nine Abyss. You can't get past them. But you can ask every swordsman to take a look at what the Taiyi Sect was like in the past, and what we swordsmen want the world to be like again." She turned around and looked behind Li Wuxiang: "What you see when you turn around is the current appearance of the old capital of the Ye Dynasty."
Li Wuxiang turned around. The hillside behind him continued to extend upwards. Although the slope was gentle, it was still too high and gave him a sense of pressure.
The hillside is full of broken walls and ruins. All that can be seen are some bare stone walls, stone pillars and stone steps covered by grass and vines.
But he could imagine what the old capital of the Ye Dynasty looked like in the past based on these things - a long, long time ago, on this huge mountain, there should have been a long and wide stone staircase extending from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain. There should have been countless magnificent and majestic buildings on both sides of the stone staircase, and along the steps all the way up to the top -
At the very top, there are still hundreds of towering huge stone pillars that pierce the sky. They are so thick that it seems that it would take more than a dozen people to hug them.
When Li Wuxiang stood on the top of the mountain, he felt that the land on the top of the mountain was extremely wide, and could even accommodate a Jinshui Town. But when he looked at the remaining stone pillars, he realized that this place might not have been a group of buildings in the past, but an extremely huge house or palace.
But now, the temple looks more like a forest. The stone pillars are covered with vines, as if they have life. The cracks between the stone slabs below are also full of lush vegetation.
Li Wuxiang saw other swordsmen. Two of them were sitting among the grass and talking, holding small swords in their hands, seemingly discussing swordsmanship. They looked over here, their eyes lingered on him for a moment, and then moved away.
There was another person sitting on top of a shorter stone pillar, with his legs hanging down. He looked very young and was also looking at him. When he met Li Wuxiang's gaze, he smiled slightly.
At this time, Mei Zhangjian said, "Have you seen Taiyi's remains outside?"
Li Wuxiang's heart skipped a beat—she knew that too!?
So he glanced around and said quietly, "I saw it. Master Jiang told me not to tell anyone else."
"Well, he says that to everyone." Mei Zhangjian suddenly laughed, "Then he accepts you. He is a kind person, as long as you do what he wants."
Li Wuxiang was stunned for a moment, then he smiled: "Then, Senior Sister, do you know what happened to Taiyi's remains?"
"I don't know. Jiang Jie won't tell me. There's no benefit in saying he knows. But this is the place he found after becoming the leader. He should know it well."
"Where's the Netherworld Mother? Why is she like that again?"
"Jiang Jie didn't say it, but he should have known it. When it comes to cultivation, the higher the realm, the more you know, but the less you can say. I can understand his difficulties. He is a Yang God, and he is already a land immortal. Some words coming out of his mouth are more than just words."
"Then... is this place real? Is it really the old capital of the Ye Dynasty? Did Sect Leader Jiang hide it in Youjiuyuan?"
"You can also treat it as real." Mei Zhangjian patted his arm, "Okay, follow me to the bottom. After meeting Jiang Jie, I will take you to meet the other sword masters below, and then see Zeng and Pan."
She sighed again: "Helian died in the coffin city, and Pan Muyun was also seriously injured. When we get to the bottom, you go to see him on my behalf. Let me tell you first, some people are even harder to talk to than Jiang Jie, so don't take it to heart."
