Chapter 525: Peeping into the Divine Ceremony and Listening to the Heavenly Sound

Having just acquired two hundred seventh-tier incense sticks, Li Yuan was naturally reluctant to use them for listening to music. After all, he still had to keep them for joining forces and getting the Bafang Temple token.

Although he had only been in the temple for less than a month, Li Yuan still understood the principle of being prepared for any eventuality.

The seventh-level incense sticks remained untouched, and there were not many sixth-level incense sticks left. These days, Li Yuan Lingyin mostly used low-level incense sticks. Although the randomness was too great, with so many incense sticks, he would eventually come across them.

After the Palm Sound Talisman was promoted to the seventh level, the lowest level of listening obtained was also the seventh level.

hum~
As Li Yuan's mind moved, various kinds of incense rose into the sky, and the tide seemed to surge into the two wooden tablets.

The next moment, all kinds of sounds came one after another, making it extremely noisy.

[In the Dragon and Tiger Temple in the dead of night, some are happy and some are worried. Taoist Long Xinglie has succeeded in his Daoist practice and has come out of seclusion. However, several of his fellow disciples who were in seclusion with him have been killed... (Eighth Stage)]

[After the destruction of the Evil God Cult's headquarters, all branches were hunted down. Everyone in the Evil God Cult felt insecure and fled in panic. Of the four Dharma Kings, only Long and Xiang escaped with the incense and offerings... (Level 9)]

[The sky is full of stars and the moon. Someone in Huanglong Villa lets out a long roar, the sound is like a dragon's roar, shocking hundreds of miles away. All Huanglong disciples are shocked and delighted... (Level 10)]

[The super thief Mo Yinke hid in the capital of the gods. One day, he was visited by the master of the Qinglong Pavilion, Tianshezi... (Level 10)]

[In a hall in the Divine Capital City, the Five Daoist Sects and the Xinyi Sect gathered at night. Regarding the actions of the imperial court, everyone had different opinions. Some thought that they should cooperate with the imperial court and enter the Eight Directions Temple together, while others thought that they should capture the alien and interrogate him about the sacrificial rituals...

Some people also suggested that they ambush and kill King Zhenwu here... (Level 10)]

……

Various sounds were heard at once. In the past, Li Yuan would have to digest them for a while and select them carefully.

But at this moment, he naturally classified all the sounds in his mind, and picked out the useful sounds one by one in his mind.

"Nine Palaces of Niwan."

Li Yuan's heart moved slightly.

The Nine Palaces of Niwan are different from the acupoints he opened before. They increase the spirit and soul. After the nine palaces are opened, his thinking becomes more agile.

Being able to do ten things at once is also in good order.

"According to the handwritten records of Taoist Dragon Demon, the Niwan Palace seems to be related to the cultivation of the spiritual aspect..."

A thought flashed through his mind, and Li Yuan began to analyze the sound he had heard.

The music listened to this time was varied, covering the imperial court, the martial arts world, and was quite complicated. Among them, Long Xinglie was mentioned.

This eldest senior brother entered the Dao and broke through the barriers, and after Dou Yue, he also broke through the barriers to become a grandmaster.

"When I went down the mountain, more than ten brothers had already gone into seclusion, but I didn't know how many of them could successfully break through."

Li Yuan sighed inwardly and continued to analyze the remaining points.

What caught his attention most was the small gathering of the five major Taoist sects and the Xinyi Sect.

"This is the problem with the five major sects not being under each other's jurisdiction. Once there is a great temptation, it is easy for them to fall apart..."

This kind of thing is not uncommon, and Li Yuan is not surprised, but there are indeed too many things revealed in this listening:

"Who wants to ambush and kill Wan Zhuliu?"

Li Yuan thought of Taoist Master Long first, but he felt something was wrong. Given Taoist Master Long’s temperament, it shouldn’t be possible, right?
"It's probably hard to reach a consensus on this matter, but we have to find a way to contact Daoist Master Long..."

Ever since the last time that armored man rushed into the temple gate, Li Yuan had wanted to contact Taoist Master Long, Old Dragon Head and the others, but they were far away in the Divine Capital, and he could not contact them even if he returned to Zhaixing Tower.

As for heading to the capital...

"Let's wait for Old Zhoutou. Once he finds a way out, we can use those Xuanbing to contact other Dao Sects and indirectly contact Dao Master Long."

Li Yuan had something in mind.

He was unfamiliar with and did not trust other sects besides the Dragon and Tiger Temple, but to fight against the imperial court, he naturally had to rely on the power of other Taoist sects.

But he still wanted to meet Taoist Master Long to find out the details.

After pondering for a while, Li Yuan continued to listen.

The randomness of low-level incense listening is very large, but with so many of them, there are naturally many useful ones. When the gray stone platform dimmed again, Li Yuan ended the listening.

In nearly a thousand listenings, only four may be related to the Bafang Temple. The probability can only be said to be extremely small.

[Yanshan Road, in Jiangzhou City, the severely injured White Elephant King was blocked in the bamboo forest by Chi Lian, an alien who wanted to find incense and offer a small sacrifice to the Bafang Temple late at night...

The latter, after a cup of tea, was captured by a purple-robed old man who called himself "Qin Yun". After being forced to reveal the sacrificial method, he planned and arranged the ceremony... (Eleventh Stage)]

[In a mountainous area, a turtle fairy who has traveled to many places and killed dozens of gods, holding a large umbrella, began to arrange the ceremony, as if preparing to enter the temple... (Eleventh Stage)]

[In the imperial city, a fierce quarrel broke out. Many royal families quarreled in the palace. Emperor Qian was furious and left in anger to prepare for the ceremony to be held tomorrow. This ceremony came from the Tianwai Yunmo clan... (Eleventh level)]

[In the Divine Capital, the royal nobles fought openly and secretly for the quota to enter the temple. Emperor Qian was not tired of it and finally made a concession. He prepared to select thirteen people from the royal family, the big clans, and the army to accompany Wan Zhuliu to enter the temple during the next small sacrifice... (Eleventh Stage)]

"Wan Zhuliu!"

Li Yuan's heart sank: "Sending Wan Zhuliu for the second small sacrifice?"

Wan Zhuliu!

Thinking back to the knife attack in front of the temple, Li Yuan's joy at having his mind opened up no longer remained.

This is not just drawing a sword, and the one you need to face is not the King Zhenwu who is transformed by sword energy and of the same level, but the top grandmaster Wan Zhuliu who has reached the top of the world decades ago!

How can you fight him when he is holding the Demon-Subduing Dragon Sword and wearing the Sea-Suppressing Black Turtle Armor?
"That's not good!"

Li Yuan opened his eyes. The night sky was dotted with stars and an ancient temple was looming on the mountain road.

The imperial court, alien visitors, the Star-Picking Tower...

The information obtained from listening to various messages surged in Li Yuan's mind. He still underestimated the importance the court attached to the Bafang Temple.

He just tried it once, and he actually dared to let the pillar of the country enter the temple in person. Isn't Emperor Qian afraid of any accidents?
"If it's really Wan Zhuliu coming..."

Li Yuan had a headache. The only way was to bring Zhou Ying in to block the door. No, even if Zhou Ying blocked the door, he might not be able to stop Wan Zhuliu.

unless……

"Qin Yun!"

If there was a former number one door blocker in the world...

"Qin Yun is also planning to enter the temple. Not only him, but also the tortoise carrying the temple..."

Li Yuan's mind became active again. Although Wan Zhuliu was powerful, he might not be invincible.

and……

"If it really doesn't work, what if I just retreat temporarily?"

Thinking of this, Master Li suddenly felt that the world was vast. With the token, he could come and go as he pleased. He would only need to hide for a few decades at most. "If Wan Zhuliu enters the temple, then the imperial court..."

After pondering for a long time, Li Yuan finally suppressed his distracting thoughts. He was no longer sleepy, but his restless mind was not suitable for practicing, so he sat cross-legged again and began to listen.

This time, he was ready to listen to the heavenly music.

Since the number of times he listened to the Heavenly Sound could be accumulated, he was not in a hurry to listen. At this moment, he had almost accumulated three times of listening to the Heavenly Sound.

"call!"

Li Yuan's mind changed, and a dazzling light burst out from the listening wooden scroll.

……

……

late at night.

The capital of gods, the imperial city.

"Your Majesty, everyone has left."

A guard bowed and reported.

In the study, Emperor Qian was flipping through a silk book. Hearing this, he did not look up but just waved his hand:
"Go, invite the King of Zhenwu and the Lord of Qintianjian to come over."

"Yes."

The guard bowed and retreated, then quickly went to pass on the message.

"His Majesty!"

Not long after, Wu Yingxing strode over and bowed.

"Master Wu."

Emperor Qian gave him a seat.

"Your Highness has been entangled and I'm afraid he won't be able to get away for a while."

Wu Yingxing sat down.

"It's about prolonging life, but I can't blame them. It's just that it's not easy to offer sacrifices. They are all veteran officials of two dynasties. Why can't they understand me?"

Emperor Qian rubbed his temples, quite displeased.

"You gentlemen are getting a bit older after all."

Wu Yingxing didn't agree with him. Those old ministers were either royal nobles or aristocratic families. Many of them had served two generations of kings. They were too old and he didn't want to provoke them.

"That's all, let them be."

Emperor Qian was a little annoyed: "How to divide the thirteen places? I'll have to trouble Master Wu."

"This……"

Wu Yingxing couldn't sit still anymore.

"Ok, deal."

Emperor Qian did not allow him to refuse, and raised his hand to throw the silk book in his hand over to him:

"Master Wu, please take a look."

"Is this a God-peeking Festival?"

Wu Yingxing took the silk book and took a glance at it, and his heart was shocked:
"Another ritual?"

"Master Wu, take a look first."

Emperor Qian walked out from behind the desk. Wu Yingxing, who was flipping through the silk book, had a changing face and his hands were shaking.

"With the blood and flesh of thousands of spirit beasts as sacrifices and a large amount of incense as the medium, it responds to the destiny of people and the veins of the earth below, and the movement of the stars above..."

"You can watch the evolution of the stars, the changes in the world, and understand the subtleties of people's hearts..."

"…Through sacrifice, can one glimpse the gods?!"

Wu Yingxing raised his head suddenly: "Your Majesty, where did this silk book come from? What are you spying on? The Eight Directions Temple? Or..."

"Master Wu, you don't need to worry about where this silk book came from."

Emperor Qian put his hands behind his back and looked outside the door. Wan Zhuliu came in wearing armor and holding a knife. There was still murderous aura on his body, as if he was really angry just now.

"His Majesty."

Wan Zhuliu bowed and saluted:

"The preparations for the God-Seeking Ceremony are almost complete. We just need to wait for the arrival of the Great Sun Purple Qi before we can hold it."

"Ah."

Emperor Qian nodded, and then looked at Wu Yingxing: "Master Wu, I want to use this sacrifice to spy on the founder of the temple. In your opinion, is it feasible?"

You're all ready, and you're still asking me?

Wu Yingxing sighed inwardly, but he also understood what Emperor Qian meant. He immediately took out the coins and told a fortune in front of the two of them.

"The hexagram is peaceful, nothing unusual."

"That's good."

Emperor Qian's brows relaxed, he glanced at the sky, and then stepped out.

Wan Zhuliu followed closely behind. Wu Yingxing put away the coins, sighed, and followed.

Huhu~
Below the observatory, the night breeze blows gently.

On the altar, Huang Longzi was holding a big umbrella, as if he had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Dayun's ruler and his ministers coming, he did not stand up, but just looked into the distance at Dongji.

Emperor Qian and others did not say anything, but just waited quietly.

Soon, a hint of paleness appeared on the horizon.

"It's almost time!"

Emperor Qian spoke.

On the altar, Huang Longzi also stood up, holding an umbrella in one hand and a whisk in the other:
"Let the ceremony begin!"
