Chapter 564 Confidence

Chapter 564 Confidence
Deep, dark, mysterious, weird...

The Bafang Temple was floating up and down at a very high place, and the scattered energy was like a huge round cover, enveloping this quiet place.

In the darkness, there were twelve spots of light flickering, corresponding to the paths of the twelve Heavenly Power Mysterious Soldiers.

hum~
Li Yuan held the Eight Directions Token in his hand and swept his eyes across the twelve light spots, then stopped at a light spot in the far distance that he had been to before, a dark and secluded place outside the Eight Directions Temple.

"Is it just me who can go out?"

There were only thirteen spots of light in the darkness. Li Yuan didn't think that Qin Yun was too old and couldn't see, let alone tell a lie.

The only explanation was that the ban on the Eight Directions Temple was far stricter than he had expected, so that even with the Eight Directions Order in hand he could not enter and exit freely.

"That little female dragon... well, she is a weapon spirit."

Li Yuan opened his eyes and his face did not look very good.

"how?"

Qin Yun asked.

“The road is still there.”

Li Yuan frowned slightly. This was not good news.

There were many strange beasts on that road, and it would be difficult for him to move forward on his own.

"It seems that my guess was correct. Apart from those outsiders, you are indeed the only one who can get out..."

Qin Yun frowned. Although he had guessed it long ago, he still felt depressed when it was confirmed.

"It doesn't make sense..."

Li Yuan looked at the Eight Directions Token in his hand, but couldn't help but think of the God-Peeking Ceremony he had seen when he listened to the Heavenly Sound before.

According to the prophecy, I will slaughter the Taoist sect in Jianghu fifty years later. Could this be the reason?
"How can this make sense?"

Qin Yun sighed and raised his hand. Chi Lian, who was not far away, flew up involuntarily and fell in front of the two of them.

"you!"

Chi Lian's face flushed and he was shocked and angry.

"No wonder these alien visitors all hold umbrellas and dare not see the sun or the moon. It seems that the restrictions of the Bafang Temple are more strict than we imagined."

Qin Yun glanced at the Taoist masters not far away. Long Yingchan and others naturally could not eavesdrop on their conversation.

"You mean, the reason you can't see the road is because of the three suns?"

Li Yuan's heart moved slightly.

"We were born and raised here. Our aura has long been connected to the heaven and earth, or to the Bafang Temple. I'm afraid it will be difficult to break away from it."

Qin Yun shook his head. He had made many guesses over the past few days, and only got the final confirmation from Li Yuan.

"How about cutting off this connection?"

Li Yuan had a subtle look on his face. He probably knew the reason for his abnormal behavior fifty years later as predicted.

I'm afraid this will cut off the connection between the Bafang Temple and the Taoist masters?

"What you see during the God-Watching Festival may not be true, but in that corner of the future, you probably have a way, or at least you may be trying to sever this connection."

Qin Yun looked at him with sharp eyes.

"This... at least there is no way now."

Li Yuan smiled bitterly.

He agreed with this very much. Based on his understanding of himself, he would either not do it, or if he did it, he would be extremely confident.

But that was fifty years later.

"According to the prophecy, you will become a divine palace in fifty years, but now, you have not yet entered the Dao..."

Qin Yun's expression remained unchanged. He had thought a lot and verified a lot in these days: "My only doubt is where did you get the method to sever the connection between heaven and man..."

The energy between human beings and the world is connected and difficult to break. At least, all the methods he has thought about and tried in recent days cannot sever this connection.

"Should it be the Bafang Temple?"

Li Yuan looked towards the ancient temple on the top of the mountain, his mind distracted.

Judging from his own experience, he had a guess in his heart that if he chose to avoid and withdraw from the Bafang Temple as predicted in the prophecy, then there was a high probability that he went to Tianshiyuan!

"Not necessarily?"

Qin Yun looked at him deeply, and with a flick of his sleeve, purple air rose up, covering the two of them as well as Chi Lian, who was standing under his feet with a look of shock and anger on his face.

Long Yingchan and others were isolated.

"What are you doing?"

Li Yuan was slightly startled.

"There's really no need to hide something when there's a big thing going on."

Qin Yun straightened his clothes and said, "My original surname is Pang, my given name is Hao, and my courtesy name is Wenlong!"

“Great Master of Dayun, Pang Wenlong?!”

Li Yuan's face was full of shock.

"..."

Qin Yun's eyelids twitched slightly, and doubt flashed through his mind. This kid's shocked expression seemed a little incongruous, but could he know his identity in advance?

He hadn't told anyone about it.

"You, you are actually the Great Fortune Ancestor."

Li Yuan took a deep breath and pretended to be shocked under Qin Yun's scrutinizing gaze.

The old man's revelation of his identity was so sudden that he almost couldn't react.

Seeing Qin Yun frowning, he quickly changed the subject: "How come you have lived for a thousand years?"

"Three elements combined into one, life span is a thousand years. What does it mean for me to live a thousand years?"

Qin Yun followed his words and said, "I am a disciple of Master Long Mo. In the past, he took me with him during the grand sacrifice. Due to fate, I broke the limit of 200 years of life..."

Qin Yun, or Pang Wenlong, narrated calmly.

It was almost the same as what Li Yuan had pieced together before. Pang Wenlong was born with the shapes of heaven and earth and the sun. His peculiar talents made it difficult for him to succeed in martial arts until he became a disciple of Taoist Priest Long Mo, from whom he was taught the Dragon Demon Heart Sutra and the God Worshipping Method.

After that, it was just as recorded in history books.

At the age of seventy, he came out of seclusion, pacified the world, founded a great nation, became an unrivaled Grand Master, collected all the rare treasures in the world, forged nine large sun-monitoring mirrors, and then offered sacrifices to the Eight Directions Temple...

"Master, the old man..." Pang Wenlong paused for a moment, his expression and tone were somewhat complicated, but he quickly collected his thoughts and narrated calmly:

"He was born with a body of enlightenment. He could master any martial arts he practiced, and he could also innovate and surpass his predecessors... He offered sacrifices to the Eight Directions Temple at least three times."

"Three sacrifices?"

Li Yuan glanced at Chi Lian who was sitting on the ground.

Chi Lian's face looked extremely ugly. This old guy brought himself in without telling anyone else. It was obviously not a good thing.

"At least three sacrifices."

Pang Wenlong was not quite sure, but he did not dwell on the number of times and continued to narrate:
"There was one time before the fall of the Great Zhou. That time, he broke the 200-year life limit. The second time was when the Great Zhou fell. The third time was at Tianyou Pass..."

Li Yuan listened quietly, comparing it with what he had heard, and was lost in thought.

"The Master did not mention much about the first grand sacrifice. You should have seen the second one in the Eight Directions Pagoda before. During that grand sacrifice, a cloud demon was sacrificed, which led to the destruction of the Great Zhou..."

Pang Wenlong sighed:
"During the third great sacrifice, the red sun suddenly appeared above Tianyou Pass, and the sky fire fell like a tide, burning Gao Feiqing's 300,000 troops. The old man, the Master, also disappeared in that great sacrifice, and it is unknown whether he is alive or dead..."

"I don't know whether I'm alive or dead?"

Li Yuan recalled what Ling Yin had seen before. A wisp of fire had burned Pang Wenlong to death countless times.

"The sky fire is terrifying. Even Master may not be able to resist it."

Pang Wenlong passed it over in one sentence and talked about himself: "Thousands of years ago, I followed the Master's example to offer sacrifices. In addition to my thoughts about the Bafang Temple, it was also because of that cloud demon..."

"Which one is inside the Wanzhu Flow?"

"good."

Pang Wenlong nodded and looked at Chi Lian:
"I heard from her that the Cloud Demons are a foreign race from Tianshiyuan?"

"……Yes."

Chi Lian responded reluctantly, she didn't dare not answer.

"According to Master, the Cloud Demon is not a living being, but a creature similar to a strange beast in the underworld..."

"Devil?"

Chi Lian was so shocked that she lost her voice.

"Devil?"

Li Yuan was shocked. This thing had been mentioned in books in Mingquan City.

The strange demon is a powerful being who died unexpectedly in the underworld and was eroded by the aura of the underworld. With no incense to prolong his life, it is a strange creature that is neither alive nor dead, has a very deep obsession, and is extremely strange.

The book mentioned it a few times, and the meaning was roughly that this kind of thing was rare in the world, but once it appeared, it would cause a bloody storm and be condemned by everyone.

"This……"

Chi Lian was shocked, but the two people who were talking didn't look at her, they just talked to each other.

"Ghost? That's quite appropriate."

Pang Wenlong nodded: "This beast is unkillable. I fought with it many times. In the end, I could only use a great sacrifice to attract heavenly fire to burn it, but it is obvious that it is not dead."

"You are old and famous, are you trying to avoid this evil demon?"

Li Yuan was a little dazed.

"Half and half, apart from this demon, it's also because the Master once said that the Eight Directions Temple Fair would be held in the future..."

After Pang Wenlong finished speaking, he looked at Li Yuan and his expression changed.

Even during those years when he endured the hardships in the mural, Zhaixinglou was still searching for the founder of the temple as predicted by the Master, but he had misjudged him before.

"To be honest, I was lucky to reach the top of the mountain, but I have no chance of entering the temple."

Li Yuan said calmly:
"I guess that when I enter the temple for the trial, I will definitely meet a challenger who has climbed to the top of the mountain before..."

The Bafang Temple is not as generous as the Divine Burial Coffin. A failed challenge will cost him a token. He prefers to change his bones and gather all the forms to allow his talent to transform again.

Although he also didn't know whether he could enter the temple directly if his talent transformed again.

But at least this is much safer than fighting hard.

"This trial in the Bafang Temple is really difficult."

Pang Wenlong has a deep understanding of this. He was able to climb 800 steps because he had comprehended the Eight Directions Diagram a thousand years in advance. Without this advantage, it would be difficult for him to climb even a hundred steps, let alone a thousand.

It’s nothing, just that the bones are too old.

"Disaster."

Li Yuan sighed.

Be it the Eight Directions Temple or the God Burial Coffin, neither is a trial for blood-exchanging warriors.

Ninety-nine percent of the people on the top of Bafang Mountain, the stone tablets on the mountain road, and the strange rocks are warriors at the Unity Realm, the Divine Palace Realm, or even stronger. As a blood-exchanging warrior, he is under tremendous pressure.

"So, your method of severing the connection between heaven and man is likely to come from Tianshiyuan?"

Pang Wenlong was still looking at him.

"It's possible, but who can predict the future? What the God-peeking Ceremony saw may not be true..."

Master Li was unusually frank, saying that if he had to leave the Bafang Temple, he might go to Tianshiyuan, but at least he would have to have the confidence and assurance to pass through the Netherworld.

"What confidence do you want?"

Pang Wenlong agreed and asked.

He asked very urgently, and Li Daoye answered promptly:

"Escape Sky Boat."

"The secluded land is vast, and it is difficult to travel without a boat. It makes sense."

Pang Wenlong nodded:

"anything else?"

"what?"

Li Yuan was shocked. He understood what this person meant, so he naturally climbed up the ladder:

"Of course the more the merrier."

Pang Wenlong looked at him and nodded after a moment:
"it is good!"
