Chapter 483 Rainy Night
Woohoo~
The dim light flickered, and in the darkness, an ancient temple rose and fell like a dead leaf in the tide. It was unknown how far away it was, and a desolate and ancient atmosphere was already blowing in the air.

"Eight-way Temple!"

Li Yuan was shocked.

He had heard countless rumors about this ancient temple, but this was the first time he saw it with his own eyes.

The stone statue's eyes shone for only a moment, and Li Yuan had already deeply imprinted the appearance of the ancient temple in his mind. He closed his eyes, and that stunning glimpse suddenly emerged in his mind.

An ancient temple with doors opening in all directions, mottled and ancient walls, and inside there is a glow of various colors, strange and mysterious.

"Was this Bafang Temple attracted by the sound of the Great Sun Golden Scale Bell? Or was it because of the imperial court's grand sacrifice?"

Li Yuan's heart was beating fast. He concentrated and looked around, but it was too dark and visibility was only one meter.

He pondered in his mind, and walked into the secluded place with the hammer in hand. He walked quickly, and soon arrived at the ancient temple where Zhou Ying was.

hum~
Without hesitation, Li Yuan lit the incense, and in the flickering light and shadow, he saw Zhou Ying again.

The former master of the Black Whale Hammer seemed to be attracted by the unusual movements in the Eight Directions Temple. At this moment, he was standing under a big tree, gazing into the distance.

"Someone is offering sacrifices at the Bafang Temple!"

Zhou Ying turned around, frowning, "I never thought that there would be someone who dared to offer sacrifices to the Bafang Temple..."

"Ok?"

Li Yuan's heart was slightly moved: "Senior, do you know?"

"I have seen it before."

Zhou Ying sat cross-legged on the ground, looking blank:
"Do you know why the Great Zhou Dynasty fell?"

Li Yuan was startled. Although he had read a lot of history books, he had never studied this in depth. But when Zhou Ying asked this question, the answer was obvious:

"Because, Bafang Temple?"

"good."

Zhou Ying sighed:

"My Great Zhou is home to many famous people and powerful men, and our imperial guards are the best in the world. If it weren't for a catastrophic event, how could the country be destroyed?"

Li Yuan frowned, recalling the Great Zhou recorded in history books.

The dynasty, which had been established for nearly two thousand years, had reached an extremely serious stage of land annexation and class stratification. In his opinion, the conditions for the country's demise had already been met.

But as Zhou Ying said, the Great Zhou army is strong and the country is rich, with many great masters in charge. Unless there is a major change, it can at least hold on for several more years.

"Did the Great Zhou also offer sacrifices to the Bafang Temple?"

Li Yuan coughed lightly, awakening Zhou Ying who was deep in his memories. The latter collected his thoughts and nodded.

"In the past, an old scholar in the Imperial College somehow bewitched Your Majesty. Your Majesty believed his words and used all the power of the country to offer sacrifices to the Eight Directions Temple..."

"The old teacher in the Imperial Academy?"

Li Yuan shuddered and instantly thought of the dragon demon he had seen when he listened to the heavenly music before.

It's him?

"This beast is going to destroy our Great Zhou!"

Zhou Ying slammed the ground in anger, causing the ancient temple to tremble and smoke and dust to rise several feet high.

Li Yuan changed his mind, but he was not interested in the grudges and hatreds of the previous dynasty:
"Well, then what?"

"Then……"

Zhou Ying calmed down and said, "Just like today, the Bafang Temple vibrated and hummed in response to the great sacrifice, and then..."

He paused slightly:
"Afterwards, the imperial city was shaken, and the great master who protected the country died in battle. After that, the earth was filled with smoke, and Gao Feiqing suddenly appeared and captured the capital of the gods. I was defeated and his divine realm was shattered. I could only use secret methods to linger on, half dead and half alive."

"This……"

Li Yuan was somewhat suspicious: "The imperial city was shaken, the great master died in battle... Was there a backlash from this great sacrifice, or was there another reason?"

The great sacrifice, what evil god was being sacrificed to?
"do not know."

Zhou Ying shook his head.

He was away from home at the time, and when he heard about this, the imperial city had already become a bloody killing field.

"The Great Festival is risky."

Li Yuan couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.

He remembered what the little female dragon had mentioned before, that a reckless sacrifice brought about great terror and blew out the sun in the world.

"I wonder if the people who will hold this grand ceremony can bring the Eight Directions Temple into the world..."

Zhou Ying looked out at the Bafang Temple.

Li Yuan was also looking out, but all he could see was darkness.

After a moment, Zhou Ying collected his thoughts and looked at Li Yuan:

“This is also an opportunity for you.”

"Ok?"

Li Yuan's heart was slightly shaken: "Please give me some advice, senior."

"Guidance is out of the question."

Zhou Ying waved his hand and said seriously: "The Black Whale Road has only three stops, but after the three stops, how to reach the Eight Directions Temple, the Black Whale Sect has no other records.

At this time, the Eight Directions Temple has shown unusual movements. If you can get through three stations, you may have a chance to enter the Eight Directions Temple..."

"This is probably difficult."

Li Yuan smiled bitterly and mentioned the strange things he had seen at the second stop.

"Is it really weird?"

Zhou Ying frowned:

"The three stops on the Black Whale Road are where the Black Whale Sect masters cleared out three strange places and covered them with the divine realms of three great masters. The second stop is the divine realm of Ying Xuanpeng, the 141st generation Black Whale Master."

"I caught a glimpse of it before. The ancient tower was full of strange beasts and strange soldiers..."

Thinking back to what he had seen before, Li Yuan felt a headache: "What realm was this person in when he was alive?"

"On unity."

Zhou Ying also found this strange place created by such existence difficult to deal with.

The supreme grandmaster.

Li Yuan's heart sank slightly: "Can we take a detour?"

"Detour?"

Zhou Ying shook his head: "The Black Whale Road was opened up by the Black Whale Sect at great cost. It is relatively safe. Taking a detour would be even more dangerous..."

"Then, there's nothing we can do."

Li Yuan sighed. He was quite curious about the Bafang Temple, but he didn't want to put himself in danger.

"It's a rare opportunity, it would be a shame to miss it. You have the Black Whale Hammer in your hand, maybe if you are more careful, you can bypass that strange place?"

Zhou Ying really wanted Li Yuan to try it.

"I'm afraid this won't work."

Li Yuan declined politely. Just thinking about the mysterious land transformed by the supreme grandmaster made his scalp tingle.

If you really want to try it, you have to completely master the Sea-Splitting Mysterious Whale Hammer, right?

"You should give it a try."

Zhou Ying wanted to persuade him, but seeing that the latter had no interest, he could only sigh:
"It seems that this opportunity will fall into the hands of those companies again."

"Which ones?"

Li Yuan was slightly startled.

"Longhu Temple, Yiqi Villa, Samadhi Cave... these should still be there, right?"

Zhou Ying asked.

"Still."

Li Yuan was a little curious: "Senior mentioned these companies, right?"

"There is an ancient road in each of the twelve Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Soldiers."

Zhou Ying did not hide it:

“Compared to the Sea-Splitting Mysterious Whale Hammer, the Mysterious Weapons that those families wield have been worshipped by generations, so the divine realm on their ancient roads probably won’t change.”

"Too."

Li Yuan thought about it for a moment and came to his senses.

Although the several major Taoist sects do not have the masters of Xuanbing, they can actually have a deep grasp of Xuanbing by relying on the methods left by their ancestors.

"Martial arts is about fighting, and when fighting, you cannot give in."

Zhou Ying hasn't given up the idea of ​​persuading Li Yuan to give it a try.

"Thank you, senior, for the tip."

Li Yuan was unmoved. He just bowed to express his gratitude and left the ancient temple.

Before leaving, he took out some incense and put it into the incense burner to prevent the ancient temple from becoming eerie without the incense.

"Eight-Direction Temple..."

In the dark and gloomy world, there was only a little light shining from the stone statue's eyes. Li Yuan looked towards the end of the Black Whale Road and hesitated.

He had no interest in attacking the Bafang Temple at this time, but he still lacked a weapon that could be controlled with the blessing of the 'Fifth Level of Military Training Sutra'.

Without this, even if he gathers a thousand forms, he will not be able to completely master the Sea-Splitting Mysterious Whale Hammer. "The Red Blood Patterned Dragon Armor and the Mirage Dragon Belt are just a little bit away from being able to combine a human and a soldier. Let's try again in a few days."

After standing there for a long time, Li Yuan turned around and left.

Taking a risk is often a choice when there is no other choice. He is far from that point now, so there is no need for him to take the risk.

After all, if the Black Whale Path is blocked, he can still take the path of health preservation.

……

hum~
The sound of the Great Sun Golden Scale Bell echoed in the quiet place.

"The aliens still have some tricks up their sleeves."

On the Sanyuan Road, Yuanqing Zhenren held the Sanyuan Yiqi Pillar in his hand and looked into the distance. He seemed to be able to vaguely feel the outline of the ancient temple.

"This road is difficult to travel."

After staying for a while, Master Yuanqing left the Sanyuan Secret Realm.

Yiqi Villa is located among the mountains, beside a clear lake. A lone boat is floating in the lake. On the boat, Master Yuanqing slowly opens his eyes.

In the distance, Fang Sanyun was walking on the water. Before he arrived, his voice had already come over:
"Brother Yuanqing, have you heard the sound of the bell?"

Woo~
Fang Yuanyun landed on the small boat.

"Brother Fang arrived very quickly."

Yuan Qing Zhenren stood up to greet him and said: "The unusual movements in the Bafang Temple have intensified. It seems that the imperial court's grand sacrifice this time is not fake."

"It is said that the person who presided over this grand ceremony in the imperial court was a visitor from outer space."

Fang Sanyun narrowed his eyes:

"It seems that even God has to go."

"That's not necessarily the case."

Yuan Qing Zhenren shook his head:
"Since ancient times, there have been grand sacrifices to the Eight Directions Temple. The court may not always succeed. It may also suffer the opposite consequences like the Great Zhou did in the past."

"What if it works?"

Fang Sanyun disagreed: "To be safe, we should go to the God's Capital and watch."

"Let's talk about it after all the leaders have arrived."

Yuan Qing Zhenren did not argue and asked, "Brother Fang, have you ever seen the Bafang Temple?"

"Just a glimpse."

Fang Sanyun took out a large red seal with his backhand. The seal was emitting firelight, and faintly, there seemed to be a bell sound coming from it:

"Unfortunately, this mysterious soldier has not recognized his master, so it is difficult to see clearly."

Holding the Samadhi Seal tightly, Fang Sanyun sighed:
"Thanks to our ancestors' kindness, we can command the Xuan soldiers, but because of this, it is difficult for them to recognize their master."

"Recognize the Master..."

Master Yuan Qing couldn't help but sigh.

Fang Sanyun’s distress is also the distress of all the Taoist masters throughout the ages. Restricted by their ancestors, it is more difficult for the Xuan soldiers to recognize their master than the ancient road behind the ruins of the sect.

"Speaking of which, I wonder if Brother Long Dao's disciple, the Master of the Sea-Splitting Mysterious Whale Hammer, has seen more?"

Fang Sanyun's heart moved slightly, and he looked up, only to see clouds and mist rolling in the sky, and Long Yingchan walking slowly towards him and landing in the clear lake.

"Brother Fang is still here early."

Long Yingchan greeted him with a smile.

"No, Fang just got here too."

Fang Sanyun returned the gift.

"Brother Long Dao, you came at the right time. We were just talking about the master of the Black Whale Hammer."

Master Yuanqing smiled and returned the greeting.

"Master of the Black Whale Hammer?"

Long Yingchan was surprised and asked, "Did you two also believe the rumors?"

"Could the rumor be false?"

Fang Sanyun and the other man looked at each other and were quite speechless. Did this old guy really think he could hide it from them?

"Of course it's fake."

Long Yingchan frowned and changed the subject:

"The Master invited us here, probably for the grand ceremony of the imperial court, right?"

"good."

Master Yuanqing nodded:

"Since Wan Zhuliu has invited the whole world to watch the sacrifice, we should naturally respond."

"How does the real person think he should respond?"

Long Yingchan frowned slightly.

"It won't be too late to discuss it once everyone is here."

Master Yuanqing didn't say much, he just raised his hand and invited the two to enter the village.

……

……

"Gudong~"

After taking a few elixirs.

In the room, Li Yuanxu practiced standing meditation with his eyes half closed, while controlling the 'Ancient Elephant Hammer' and 'Giant Python Whip'.

The modification of 'Six Spiritual Elephants' and 'Nine Python Bodies' has reached the final step.

Wow~
With his eyes closed, Li Yuan could hear the sound of blood boiling and rushing in his body. Changing his spiritual form sixty-three times at a time was still an intense effort even for him today.

"Ordinary elixirs are still inferior to the Dragon-Tiger Pill..."

He practiced the standing meditation slowly, and his muscles and bones occasionally made popping sounds. After a while, the medicinal power of several elixirs was exhausted, and Li Yuan took out another handful and swallowed it.

The moment the elixir entered his stomach, it was crushed by his intestines. As the surging medicinal power spread, Li Yuan couldn't help but groan.

The six spiritual elephants act on the bones, and the nine python bodies act on the tendons.

The intense stretching of his muscles and bones caused veins to bulge on Li Yuan's forehead. It took him a while to suppress the severe pain of the bone changes.

"call!"

Li Yuan let out a long sigh, beads of sweat dripped off his body, the pain faded away, and was replaced by a sense of relief.

"Eight hundred and thirteen."

After washing up in the yard, Li Yuan returned to the house and began to nurture and refine the Mirage Dragon Belt and the Red Blood Dragon Armor.

hum~
There was a red light shining in the room, and the red blood-patterned dragon armor trembled slightly, transforming into a blood dragon that soared into the sky, humming softly and flowing in the room.

After a moment, it turned into a beam of blood light and sank into Li Yuan's body.

"It's done."

Li Yuan sensed it slightly and nodded with satisfaction.

Only when man and soldier become one can the divine soldier be able to enter and exit the divine realm.

"We still need the Mirage Dragon Belt."

Li Yuan lowered his head.

The blood-stained Mirage Dragon's belt trembled slightly. It was the little female dragon resisting, but her resistance was of little use.

After all, before she woke up, the Mirage Dragon Belt had been nurtured and refined by him to a very deep level.

"Woo~"

The little female dragon resisted and wailed, but could only watch the dirty blood of the human seep into her body.

hum!
A moment later, a dazzling blood light burst out from the Mirage Dragon's belt, and amid the little female dragon's unwilling wail, it also sank into Li Yuan's body.

"Man and soldier become one."

Li Yuan closed his eyes and sensed it.

The Mirage Dragon Belt and the Red Blood-Patterned Dragon Armor, which had been thoroughly refined, appeared at the same time in the Niwan Palace, in the land of spiritual light.

It moves around like a living thing.

As he thought about it, it could cover his body immediately, and it was much more flexible than before.

"Crack!"

Li Yuan's mind moved slightly, and the Mirage Dragon Armor completely wrapped him up. With another thought, it turned into a long whip and wrapped around his waist.

"not bad."

Li Yuan got up and opened the window. It was already late at night.

"It's time to go out."

Wearing the Canglong cassock inside his Taoist robe, Li Yuan muttered to himself, picked up the token that Wang Wen had obtained from afar, turned around, and left the Bafang Secret Realm.

Click!

As soon as he came out of the cold pond, Li Yuan heard the sound of thunder. In the night, dark clouds gathered, and thunder and lightning flashed.

The rain came in sheets.
