ninety thousand miles

Chapter 421 Spot of Light
The old palace master explained, "There is a spiritual vein at the foot of Tianju Mountain. Therefore, the spiritual energy in the Four Gods Palace and even around Tianju Mountain is much richer than other places. If you don't practice, you may not feel it obviously, but this spiritual energy is right beside you and affects you."

"I see," Li Chuan nodded slightly, and then asked, "But it wasn't like this the last few times I came here?"

"You are different from the last time you came here." The old palace master waved to Li Chuan and said, "Come here."

Li Chuan took two steps towards the old palace master.

The old palace master took out an iron pot, placed it on the ground, and then sat cross-legged on the ground.

Li Chuan sat down opposite the old palace master while looking at the full moon in the pot. The full moon in the pot seemed a little dimmer than last night. Perhaps it was because it was daytime, or perhaps it was because of the light of the sun's true fire that was always lingering on Jinyang Peak.

The old palace master said: "I have already unlocked all the restrictions above. Now the only thing that is trapping it is the deep silk that you constructed with water waves."

"Uh, should I refine it now?" Li Chuan felt it was a bit sudden.

"I think you are ready." said the old palace master.

"I think there is still a long way to go. The point is, I don't even know where it is." Li Chuan said, glancing at the old palace master's expression. He found that the old palace master looked much more majestic than before, and the helpless generosity was gone.

Maybe that kind of indulgence is only directed at Master Wen.

The old palace master said: "Then when do you think we will be ready?"

Li Chuan replied: "First, figure out the structure of the full moon and its operating mechanism, then think of several methods, try each one, find the most suitable method, and then officially start."

"That's a good idea." said the old palace master.

Li Chuan understood the implication of his words and asked, "Then what do you think, old palace master, should I try to refine it directly?"

The old palace master said: "In reality, there are very few opportunities for us to make such thorough preparations."

"I think there is still some time," said Li Chuan.

The old palace master said: "The simplest and most direct way is to face it directly, fail a few times, and then find a way out from the failure."

"This..." Li Chuan didn't know how to respond for a moment.

The old palace master said: "I am here to protect you."

Li Chuan understood what the old palace master meant. With him around, nothing would happen no matter how hard he tried. Who did Master Wen learn his style from?

So Li Chuan said, "Then I'll give it a try."

The old palace master nodded.

Li Chuan stretched out his hand and moved the pot a little towards him. He was looking for the feeling of last night, staring at the full moon in the pot for a long time, but he felt that something was missing.

He stood up and said, "I need to think about it."

Li Chuan walked on the top of the mountain. The entire Jinyang Peak was shrouded in a layer of light red-gold light. He looked down from the top of the mountain, and everything he saw was also hazy in the light.

After walking a few laps, he felt a little tired and sat back down.

"Have you made up your mind?" the old palace master asked him.

Li Chuan shook his head, looked at the sky in front of him for a while, and said, "Last night, the leader of the Feather Tribe came to me."

"Yes, he is moving around." said the old palace master. "What is under the Cangwu wilderness?" Li Chuan asked.

"There is a great terror." said the old palace master.

"That's it..." Li Chuan said.

"Do you want to help him?" asked the old palace master.

Li Chuan shook his head and said, "No, I was trying to find the feeling I had yesterday, and suddenly I thought of him."

The old palace master said: "The first batch of ancient monsters were bred in the Cangwu Wilderness. Later, these monsters walked out of the Cangwu Wilderness and ran rampant in the world, even crashing into the pillars of heaven, causing the spiritual veins of the world to scatter everywhere. It was not until the end of the ancient times that the Qingzi True Immortal was born and killed all these monsters. The pillars of heaven were rebuilt with the flesh and blood of the monsters, and the world finally became peaceful."

Li Chuan thought of the story of the empress that Zhu Qingyun had told him, and asked, "Were the people in ancient times also very powerful? Could they kill monsters alone?"

"Of course, humans and gods lived together at that time, and many people were born with the power to call the wind and rain and move mountains and seas." The old palace master replied: "It was not until the pillar of heaven was broken that the Xuanmen gradually rose."

He said: "After the ancient monsters died, half-demons occupied that place and have continued to this day. Firstly, it is because half-demons are naturally strong, and secondly, it is also because there are extremely terrifying things hidden under that land."

"What should we do if that thing comes out?" Li Chuan asked.

"During the catastrophe, nothing is surprising. It's just that between Xuanmen and the half-demon tribe... there are indeed cultivators who have a good relationship with the half-demon, but there are also those who specialize in hunting half-demons and refining them into magic weapons and elixirs. The half-demon tribe is not so easy to mess with. After thousands and tens of thousands of years, the relationship between Xuanmen and the half-demon tribe is a mess." The old palace master shook his head and warned, "Li Chuan, don't get involved in this matter. I want to wait and see what the current situation in Cangwu Wilderness is."

"Yeah, I understand." Li Chuan said.

After talking for a while, Li Chuan finally felt that he had found his state a little bit, and he looked at the moon in the pot again.

He felt that it was unlikely that he could see the true form of the "full moon" directly like he did last night. He took out the Tianyin pot, rubbed it, and then concentrated his mind. The full moon in his eyes began to disintegrate layer by layer in his vision.

After that, he silently called "little mouse" three times in his heart.

"Li Chuan, I'm here." said the little mouse.

Li Chuan nodded imperceptibly, and then immersed all his mind in the 'full moon'.

He began to look for the light he had seen yesterday.

The old palace master watched Li Chuan's movements, gently stroked his beard, listened to the sound of the pot for a while, and then closed his eyes. After a moment, he opened his eyes again and said, "Are you all healed?"

Wen Guying walked out from behind him and said, "Everything is done." After he stood still, he said, "I need to go out for a while."

"Go if you want to go, kill whoever you want to kill, how can I stop you?" The old palace master showed a helpless expression on his face again, he sighed, "Gu Ying, I have been thinking these days, it would be better if I didn't drive Zhongqiu out. I should have locked him up at the foot of Tianju Mountain for a few hundred years, which would be enough to shut up other people."

Wen Gu should say: "At that time, who knew."

He looked at the ray of Sun Fire left by the Golden Crow in front of him, "When I saw him again in the Temple of the Heroes... I didn't dare to trust him at that time, and I was always on guard against him."

"You did the right thing." said the old palace master.

"Master, if I have the chance to see my fellow apprentice brother again, what should I do?" Wen Guying asked.

"Just ask about the sword in your hand." The old palace master replied.
