Chapter 513 The Temple on the Mountain
Chapter 513 The Temple on the Mountain
"Grand Festival!"
There was silence in the hall, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the throne.
Emperor Qian frowned. Before today, the opinions of those present had never been so unified.
Can……
"Since someone can enter without a high sacrifice, then I..."
Emperor Qian tapped the back of his chair, and as he saw someone entering the Bafang Temple, his mind changed.
Ancient books recorded that high sacrifices were risky and no one had ever actually entered the Bafang Temple. However, he saw with his own eyes that the person who did not perform the high sacrifice entered the Bafang Temple in another way.
"His Majesty!"
Seeing his hesitation, Huang Longzi bowed again and said:
"Someone opened the temple in front, and the others followed suit. This is not my imagination. Such incidents are recorded in my Poison Dragon Academy."
Huang Longzi was very anxious.
Before today, he just wanted to fool these great kings and ministers, take advantage of the situation to capture the spirit turtle, and collect enough incense to force himself to leave this place.
But now, his anticipation for this grand festival is much higher than anyone else present.
In response to everyone's gaze, after a moment of silence, Emperor Qian spoke. His face was solemn as he looked at Huang Longzi:
"I need to know all the information your Poison Dragon Academy has about the Bafang Temple and the Grand Festival!"
"This……"
Feeling the gazes of everyone around him, Huang Longzi's heart sank slightly. After a moment's hesitation, he nodded in agreement:
"It's natural."
He stood up, still huddled under the big umbrella, looked around at everyone in the hall, and said:
"The Eight Directions Temple fell into our Three Enclosures Realm three Yuanhui ago. It did not attract much attention at first. It was not until one day when a star field collapsed that the Eight Directions Temple was discovered..."
Three Realms, Yuanhui, Star Realm...
Wan Zhuliu's eyes flickered, but he did not ask. He just drooped his eyelids slightly to cover the silver light in his eyes and listened attentively.
"...After countless thousands of years, the Eight Directions Temple fell into the Tianshiyuan. At that time, all the clans and sects in the Tianshiyuan, as well as the five major cave holy places including our Poison Dragon Academy, were attracted. At that time, an extremely tragic war broke out, and many gods fell..."
Recalling the records in the academy, Huang Longzi couldn't help but feel heavy and throbbing in his heart:
"I don't know the details of that battle, but after that battle, Tianshiyuan really withered for many years, until one day, Bafang Temple reappeared!"
"That day, the stars shone brightly, and Tianshiyuan was covered by divine light... Finally, someone walked out of the temple and was fought over by the gods. This person was one of the five great caves in Tianshiyuan.
The leader of Wuxian Sect, Feng Qingcang!"
After these words were spoken, one could hear a pin drop in the hall. All the rulers and ministers of Dayun fell silent, obviously all of them were touched.
It was Emperor Qian who collected his thoughts, spoke first, and asked about many matters.
Others then raised their own questions.
Huang Longzi answered every question and seemed willing to tell everything he knew, demonstrating his sincerity in cooperation.
"The information that the Bafang Temple is a wonder of the universe comes from Feng Qingcang."
Huang Longzi took a sip of the teacup and scanned the surroundings. Seeing that the expressions of the people did not change much, he cursed these natives for being ignorant and could only reveal some secrets:
"You all know that in our Tianshiyuan, a martial artist who has entered the Dao can live up to 500 years. If the three elements are combined into one, they can live for a thousand years!"
One stone caused a thousand waves!
Huang Longzi's words had a much greater impact on everyone in the hall than before. Even the calm Wu Yingxing and Shen Qisheng, who had been silent, changed their expressions.
"A thousand years of life?!"
"A grandmaster can live for a thousand years!"
"How can it be?!"
There was an uproar in the hall. For the grand masters who had lived for more than a hundred years, nothing could be more shocking than this.
Become!
Seeing everyone like this, Huang Longzi decided to strike while the iron is hot:
"Huang Longzi swears by the Poison Dragon God that if he tells a lie, he will be forever trapped in the underworld, and will never be freed from it for the rest of his life!"
"Your Majesty, may you live forever!"
"Grandmasters are supposed to live for a thousand years... Why do we only live for two hundred? Could it be the Eight Directions Temple?"
The hall was in an uproar.
Only Emperor Qian and Wan Zhuliu showed no change in expression. After a moment, Emperor Qian spoke again, suppressing the noise in the hall and looking at Huang Longzi:
"How do we break this lifespan limit?"
"This monarch and his ministers really know... the Cloud Demon Clan, huh..."
Huang Longzi felt a little cold in his heart, but his voice was very calm:
"The life span of each of you comes from the Bafang Temple. If you leave the Bafang Temple, your life span will naturally recover slowly."
"The Eight-Directions Temple will leave?"
Wan Zhuliu's eyes darkened.
"Once the Bafang Temple is opened, it will disappear in a hundred years at least, or even several hundred years at most..."
Huang Longzi paused for a moment:
“If we can enter the temple, we may be able to break the restrictions immediately.”
"This……"
Everyone in the hall looked at each other, and even someone as calm as Wu Yingxing couldn't help but be moved.
For everyone in the hall, longevity is the greatest blessing.
"His Majesty……"
Shen Qisheng stood up.
The others also stood up and bowed.
Emperor Qian relaxed his brows:
"Can!"
……
……
hum~
The moment he pushed the wooden door, all kinds of light, shadows and colors rushed towards him. Li Yuan was in a trance for a moment, and when he opened his eyes, he felt his vision was extremely broad.
The passage behind him was not narrow, but it was also depressing.
But outside this wooden door, it seems like there is another world!
Sea of clouds, sun, breeze, grass, plains, rivers, lakes, mountains...
All kinds of scenery come into view, interweaving into a beautiful picture of mountains and rivers.
"This place..." Li Yuan looked around. The passage behind him was suddenly opened in the air. Looking back, there were also mountains, rivers, and grass. In the distance, there were even the sounds of various birds and beasts.
This place seems like a real world.
He grabbed a handful of dirt and grass from the ground and crushed them into powder, but it did not turn into true energy.
"Really?"
Li Yuan concentrated his mind highly and changed to a set of control combinations to enhance his spirit, but he still did not feel the slightest sense of disobedience or abruptness.
The world inside this temple is much more real than the Black Whale Secret Realm.
"Dongtian World!"
The little female dragon's scream came late but arrived. She looked at the world in front of her greedily, falling into ecstasy and shock.
The only things that can exist in the Netherworld, apart from the strange land, are the cultivators' divine realms. And the divine realm before them is surprisingly more vast than the cave heavens recorded in the clan.
The earth is boundless, the sky is huge, and the sun is high in the sky, just like the real world!
No, the cave is the real world!
"Dongtian..."
Ignoring the frantic little female dragon, Li Yuan silently changed the control combination, even controlling the Black Whale Hammer, and only held the Black Whale Fighting Hammer in his hand.
A set of blood-red armor instantly covered him.
Coming to this place suddenly, the little female dragon was surprised and crazy, but he just felt it was very dangerous. After all, he was not in the body transformed by the Black Whale's true energy.
"That thing on the mountain is the Bafang Temple?"
Li Yuan looked into the distance.
In front of him was a tall mountain with lush vegetation, and a mountain path led to an ancient temple at the highest point like a jade staircase.
At first glance, it looks somewhat similar to the inverted mountain in the Black Whale Secret Realm.
The difference is that in addition to plants and trees, there are also various birds and beasts in this mountain, and he even saw quite a few spiritual herbs.
“Mountain climbing, mountain climbing!”
The little female dragon rose up with a "puff", trying to fly to the top of the mountain, but she screamed "Ah" and was caught by Li Yuan's tail.
"Snapped!"
Li Yuan suppressed the little female dragon with a flick of his hand. He carefully touched the token to make sure he could retreat at any time before slowly walking towards the mountain path.
Up to this point, the call from the Bafang Temple had never stopped, and it even became stronger and stronger. If he hadn't suppressed it, he would have lost his mind like the little female dragon.
"This place is probably very dangerous."
Li Yuan was very careful. This place seemed peaceful, and there were flocks of birds and beasts in the mountains, but what was more eye-catching was the mountain path.
In other words, the densely packed stone tablets on the mountain path look like tombstones.
hum~
Li Yuan looked intently. On the nearest stone tablet, the words he could not understand flowed as if they had life and turned into words of great fortune.
[Monument of the Prison Dragon (14,236)]
[Eastern Territory, Challenger]
[Bloodline: Prison Clan]
[Realm: The Third Heaven of the Divine Palace]
【Talent potential: Unrivaled】
[Divine Potential: Top]
[Spiritual Aspect Potential: Divine Level]
[Climbing a hundred steps, understanding the "Eight Directions Diagram" 1]
"?!"
Just a glance and Li Yuan almost broke out in a cold sweat.
"The peerless supreme grandmaster!"
Li Yuan took two steps closer, looked up and down, and when he was sure that he was not mistaken, his heart felt a little cold.
Except that his talent is not as high as mine, the person on the monument is simply better than me.
"Are you going to hit this guy?"
Li Yuan clenched the baton hammer and looked up. The mountain path was lined with steles as densely as a forest. At a glance, there were at least thousands of them, but no words could be seen on them.
"Prison Clan!"
The little female dragon poked her head out from under her ribs, with a look of horror in her eyes.
"you know?"
Li Yuan calmed himself and wrote down the words on the stone tablet one by one.
"The Prison Clan, who wouldn't know them?"
The little female dragon was a little shocked:
"On the list of all clans in the Three Realms, the Prison Clan ranks 139th! They are much stronger than the Cloud Demon Clan. Who is this Prison Dragon? Has he also been to the Eight Directions Temple?!"
"Why haven't I heard of it?!"
The princess of the Mirage Dragon clan doesn't seem to have much experience...
Li Yuan secretly complained in his heart, but he didn't say anything. He just waited until she was overwhelmed with shock before asking:
“How high does this rank?”
A ranking of over 100 was naturally very high in the Ten Thousand Races List, but Li Yuan couldn't imagine how high it was.
"The Prison Dragon Clan is not very populous. It is said that at its peak, there were only tens of thousands of people. Yet, they are ranked 139th. Just think about it, how powerful is this race?"
The little female dragon had been defeated by the ignorance of this native boy.
"So, where do we humans rank?"
Li Yuan asked.
"Uh……"
The little female dragon was suddenly speechless. After a pause, she lowered her head:
"First."
“First?”
Li Yuan touched his chin and accepted it quickly. He was worried that the human race was ranked too low.
"You are different. You are different."
The little female dragon tried her best to explain, saying that the human race had more people and their blood and physique were not as good as those of other big races.
Li Yuan naturally ignored it.
The strength of a group is naturally related to its numbers, but being able to reach the top cannot be based on numbers alone.
