ninety thousand miles

Chapter 426 Danchen
The gentle and soft sound of the pot rang out, and it lasted for seven days.

During these seven days, Li Chuan was almost always immersed in a mysterious state. He woke up twice. Once he woke up from hunger, and he took a bigu pill on his own and continued. Another time he was woken up by the old palace master. He was fed a bottle of jade juice by the old palace master while he was dazed. He couldn't taste it, but he felt a cool force flowing through his body, sweeping away all his fatigue.

He finally found the structure that looked like a light spot. There were nine similar structures in total, and the other units were constantly changing around these nine light spots.

Li Chuan felt that he had finally touched upon the secret of this device.

The red-gold spots of light connected into strands of deep silk, which rose and fell along the ripples of the pot sound and floated towards the nine spots of light. When it touched the outer layer of the light spots, Li Chuan felt that the ripples were caught. He looked carefully and saw that there were countless large circles with three small circles hanging on the deep silk, spreading rapidly.

The old palace master who had been sitting opposite Li Chuan and had been resting with his eyes closed opened his eyes - the 'full moon' in the pot changed.

In each unit, the three small circles in the big circle are rotating rapidly, and waves are rising and falling in the world of points and horizontal lines.

Li Chuan felt that he had opened something, and he was once again surrounded by moonlight. He seemed to see tentacles stretching upwards...

A tree gradually emerged in the full moon, and the moonlight condensed into branches and leaves.

He lowered his head and suddenly saw the tentacles entangled him, trying to enter his soul...

Little old...

He had just silently recited two words when the familiar breeze blew through his body again. The tentacles fell one by one, and all the structures dispersed again.

He opened his eyes and saw the full moon in the pot lying quietly in the water waves.

"Just now..." Li Chuan organized his words, "Just now the moon turned into a tree."

"I see, you have found the way." said the old palace master.

"Well, I plan to take a break and then start trying to refine it." Li Chuan said.

"Do you know what time it is now?" asked the old palace master.

"When? No, it couldn't have been a few years?" Li Chuan asked.

"Seven days." said the old palace master.

"Not bad." Li Chuan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Master Wang and Master Chu are here. Let's go meet them now." said the old palace master.

"Okay." Li Chuan stood up, his body swaying involuntarily. The old palace master gave him a light support, and the breeze blew away his fatigue.

He was dazed for a moment, and suddenly he found that the scenery around him had changed. Unconsciously, he was standing outside the main hall gate, and the old palace master was standing not far in front of him, and he had changed his clothes.

The old palace master turned around and said to him, "Master Wang arrived yesterday. We chatted for a while last night. He sent his disciples to Yashan County to investigate a few months ago, but found nothing."

"Master Chu of Xuan Yue Sect has just arrived. He has an old-fashioned personality, and the sect rules of Xuan Yue Sect are the strictest among the four Tianxuan Sects. Just answer truthfully whatever he asks you." said the old palace master.

"Okay." Li Chuan said.

The old palace master added, "If you feel it is difficult to say, or if you don't want to say it, just don't say it. There is no need to force it."

"I understand." Li Chuan said.

Li Chuan followed the old palace master into the main hall. There were two people sitting in the main hall. He recognized Sect Master Wang and then looked at the other one.

Sect Leader Chu looked to be in his thirties, with neat black hair and beard. He wore a black and white robe, which was neatly tied without a single wrinkle.

After Li Chuan and the old palace master entered, Sect Master Wang and Sect Master Chu stood up and came forward. Li Chuan felt Sect Master Chu's gaze on him, so he turned around and looked at Sect Master Chu frankly.

Sect Leader Wang introduced them to each other, saying, "Danchen, this is Li Chuan, the successor of the Tattoo Scripture. This is Sect Leader Chu of Xuanyue Sect."

"I've heard a lot about you." Li Chuan said.

"I have always wanted to see you, and today I finally get to see you." After Sect Leader Chu finished speaking, he turned to the old Palace Master and said, "Yang Jiu, why did you call us here?"

The old palace master said: "The evil spirit has appeared in the world."

"Demonic spirit? Which demonic spirit?" asked Sect Leader Chu.

"At the end of the great calamity between gods and demons, she was the demon woman who fought to the end with the Nine Peaks True Immortal." said the old palace master.

"She? She is still alive? What evidence do you have?" asked Master Chu.

Then, Li Chuan listened to the old palace master's explanation of the cause and effect. After the old palace master finished speaking, Sect Master Chu asked several questions in a row, and the old palace master answered them one by one. Then Sect Master Chu asked a lot of details.

Li Chuan finally understood why the old palace master had said those words to him before.

The old palace master was obviously used to it. He answered whatever Master Chu asked. If the questions were too tricky, he would just retort back.

Li Chuan was listening on the side and felt that with this question and answer, the whole matter became clearer, and some details that he had previously overlooked also reappeared.

After Master Chu asked Wu Kewen, he glanced at Li Chuan again and asked, "Where is your disciple? What you just said should have been told to you by him. Why is he not here?"

The old palace master replied: "You are talking about Gu Ying. He is injured and is recovering in the Bingxinjingshuitan."

"Young friend Wen is injured?" Sect Leader Wang was surprised. He said, "Isn't he in the capital? Who could hurt him in the capital? Is it the demon cultivator beside Prince Su? Which one?"

The old palace master said: "Gu Ying said that he was a cultivator who was good at controlling the wind. When he was in Heyuan Town, that cultivator followed Prince Su. When Gu Ying was in Ganyu Gorge, he was chased and killed all the way. After investigation, it was found that the instigator was also that cultivator."

Sect Leader Wang said, "No wonder... It turned out that he was disturbed in Ganyu Canyon and missed the chance to choose a master for the Divine Sword."

The old palace master said: "So Ying searched for a long time and finally saw him. The two of them had a discussion."

Sect Master Chu said, "Yang Jiu, since you know the identity of that cultivator, just tell me. Who is it?"

The old palace master said: "Xiao Hong."

Li Chuan noticed that Sect Leader Chu's expression suddenly changed.

Master Chu asked, "Are you sure?"

The old palace master said, "Confirmed."

Sect Leader Chu said, "Ask Wen Guying to come out, and I will ask him directly."

The old palace master shook his head and said, "He is at the critical moment of recuperation. It is not a good time to disturb him now. If you really want to ask him, then wait here for three months."

Sect Leader Wang tried to smooth things over and said, "Dan Chen, my disciple Jiang Mei and your disciple Liu Yang are both missing in Yashan County. Although their lives should be safe so far, if the evil spirit really came out of the abyss of the heart and is planning something, we can't let this matter continue to develop."

"Also, Yang Jiu just said that the news of the demon spirit's birth should be reported to the upper realm."
