Xuanjian Xianzu

Chapter 1031: Unfading Glory
The sky is bright.

Li Ximing listened in the mountains for a while, and remained silent for a long time, listening to Li Zhouwei's low voice:
"This matter is far from over. With the establishment of the new dynasty and the dispute between the north and the south, the pressure on Dongfang Lieyun will increase. We still need to appease... the dragon clan... in the end, not only will they not be trusted, they may even become the opposite side."

Li Ximing finally heard these words, and a hint of helplessness flashed across his face:
"The Li family... don't they have a place to breathe under the dragon's knees..."

Li Zhouwei turned his head slightly, his eyes moved from the other person's face to the cup on the table, and shook his head:

"That's not entirely true. If you succeed, everything will be fine. If you fail, all descendants will be cut off, but Que Wan and the rest of the branches can still be the Cui family of Chongzhou."

Li Ximing looked a little suspicious, and when he saw Li Zhouwei, he replied:
"This is also the reason why I chose Que Wan to go out... instead of Jiang Qian. She is not a girl with golden pupils. You and I have arranged the means well. In addition, if there is a possibility that she will ask for the "full pill" in the future, it will be profitable. It is not impossible for her to have a seat in the group of barbarians."

He emphasized his tone and said:

"After all, the thunder of Liehai cannot be moved away! I have seen the adults... She is highly valued in the dragon clan!"

This string of words made Li Ximing think a little. After thinking carefully for a while, he felt that there was some truth in it. He sighed and nodded:
"It only works if I look at my aunt speaking in front of Lord Long."

"On the contrary, Jin Yu... may have troubles in the future!"

Li Zhouwei did not mention it, but only talked about what he had seen and heard in Chongzhou. He took out the [Sleeve Residence Evolution Technique] and gave it to Li Ximing. Li Ximing did not have time to look at it any more, and suddenly frowned and asked:

"I have also heard of the reputation of the great man Jin Yu. If that is the case... he stood up from the corpse of Wei Mie, he certainly does not want the Emperor of Wei to linger on. He may have thoughts about you... As for whether he will help you..."

Li Zhouwei shook his head:
"This lord's plan is hard to estimate. How can we know whether Jin Yu's actions against my family over the years are a move? As for my uncle saying that he stood up from the corpses of Wei... I don't think so. Listening to his description of his age, it seems more like he was already in a high position, and the fall of Wei was just a ritual for him to justify his reputation."

"A ritual to rectify one's name..."

His words were so blunt that Li Ximing fell silent. He looked at the younger generation's sharp eyes, his heart pounding.
'It means... the change of Gengdui...'

Since the True Chi can have [Lujie Heshui], the transformation between Geng and Dui is most likely from this True Lord Taiyuan... Such a large-scale transformation, which almost involves most of the transformations between Geng and Dui spiritual objects popular today, is enough to show how profound the influence of this True Lord Taiyuan on the current situation and his control over the fruit position is!

"The Geng-Dui Change... Logically there are two people. Since this one is Dui, the other one could be Geng... I don't know what era he is from..."

He didn't dare to say more, so he could only quickly change the subject and replied:
"You're right. Tian Huo still owes me a favor. I don't know if it's intentional or not. The more I look at it, the more it looks like a cover for my family... The attitudes of these people in high positions... have actually been there for a long time."

This junior stopped talking and said with a smile:

"But there is good news right now."

Then Li Zhouwei took out a box from his sleeve and placed it on the table:
"This is [Listen to the Purple Qi]."

Li Ximing lowered his eyebrows and saw the hazy purple air covering the box. Li Zhouwei said:

"I took this from Minghui. It helps to break through my supernatural powers. I prepared it especially for my uncle... I estimate that it is not much different from the [Mingzhen Heshen Pill]... Since my uncle has come out of retreat, I think his immortal foundation must be complete. It's just right for me to take it."

"this…"

Li Ximing was slightly startled, picked it up and looked at it, frowning and said:

"This is a good thing. I wonder if it can be used together with the [Mingzhen Heshen Pill]. They should be used together to help you pass the Shenzi level..."

Li Zhouwei shook his head and smiled:
"If the situation allows, it would be best if I could be held back when participating in the Purple Immortal Threshold, so that I have more time to plan. If these things are not needed, then Uncle can use them. Uncle's Immortal Threshold is what is important."

"But I don't look forward to becoming a purple ginseng player anymore!"

Li Ximing sighed:
"I understand what you mean, but it depends on how the situation between the two parties changes. If they are colluding to kill people on the lake, if you don't break through, people on the lake will definitely die."

Li Zhouwei was silent for a while, and did not answer him. He watched him put away the spiritual object, and then said:
"It was originally planned that the two parties would exchange them, but I didn't expect that just when I returned to the lake, a Taoist named Liao from Qusi Mountain came. My uncle kept the Crane Embracing Stone in the clan, so I took the Listening Purple Qi and asked him to deliver the Crane Embracing Stone."

Then he flipped his hand and showed a precious orb, which shone brightly with golden light and had the color of colored glaze, and had a somewhat psychedelic aura. After Li Ximing took a closer look, the young man smiled and said:

"This is a good baby!"

"Ok?"

Li Ximing raised his eyebrows in surprise and said:

"'Fire'?"

Li Ximing had great attainments in controlling fire. He observed with his spiritual sense with a look of joy, and said after a while:

"I think it looks like [Light Red Ba Fire], which is the positive of '灴火' that has lost its essence and harmony, and draws the evil of the earth fire, stealing the heat and killing the body. It is originally a good spiritual fire used for fighting and killing enemies, and it is very valuable... But the Buddhist monks tampered with it, adding some dazzling and confusing aura, so it is not beautiful anymore."

He wondered:
"Did Minghui give it to you? You must be asking for something!"

Li Zhouwei nodded:
"One is the matter of my uncle [Tinghun Mulberry Wood], and the other is to ask for the preservation of the Dharma body when I go south. But I think he is not honest and still has some plans. I don't know what he is planning."

This made the Taoist stand up and walk around the mountain twice, but he was reluctant to give up the spiritual fire in his hand, so he said seriously:

"Nothing good comes for free. He must have some ulterior motive. Who knows, there might be something fishy going on with this [Crane Embracing the Stone] thing."

Li Zhouwei nodded:
"The Lotus Temple has been keeping to itself for so many years, there must be a plan. I have considered it a long time ago. We can't use the [Light Red Ba Fire]... Let's try the [Run Yang Method] first. If it can't be dealt with, we need to find one or two people who cultivate the virtue of fire to replace it."

Li Ximing nodded in agreement, pinched a strand of magical power, and squeezed out a strand of flame from it. He placed the flame on his fingertips, knocked his magical power three times, counted for a long time, and shook his head hesitantly:
"The Runyang Method is based on the three fires of True Li, Mu and Light Chiba Fire, and the Light Chiba Fire is the 'fire of the sky'. I calculated it with the Runyang Method... Although there was interference from Shi Xiu Huaguang, it is almost correct - I'm afraid it doesn't seem like it has fallen into the magic..."

He withdrew his magical power and thought:
"I could have asked Jun Jian about this. He practices the virtue of fire and has many treasures on him, so he is the most suitable person. But I have asked him several times and he has been seeking the truth in Jieyu Land for many years and has not returned to the south... Now that I think about it, I am afraid he does not want to get involved in the muddy water of Yue Country."

"Now that Guo Nanwu is here, we can ask him to ask about the spiritual bird Huoyang of the Po Luo Da..."

Li Ximing hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said:
"It's a pity... The Buddhist monks used those weird magics to modify it, causing it to become a strange beast. If we want to modify it, we have to invest spiritual resources in it. It would be best if we could negotiate and let them take it back to refine and remove the impurities."

He was thinking hard, but Li Zhouwei asked:

"Guo Nanwu?"

Li Zhouwei frowned and listened to Li Ximing's account of the previous and subsequent news. He asked the man with golden eyes to stand up and ponder for a long time.

"I wonder why the real person from Qu Sishan is so enthusiastic..."

After a while, he raised his head and said with a smile:

"Good calculation, courageous."

Li Ximing shook his head helplessly, and listened to Li Zhouwei's smile:
"After all, my family will certainly benefit from it in the future. They have lost the glory of the sun, their status is awkward, and they still need to survive this chaotic period. His old master does have a pair of wise eyes, but he has to be conservative for the next thirty years."

"Even if I, Li Zhouwei, die because I cannot get the position, it will take more than 30 years."

Li Ximing replied:
"I know that Kuang Yu told me long ago that his old master can't hold on for much longer. The two sides complement each other. I agreed to Guo Nanwu today, and we both get what we need... At least, we can avoid a lot of trouble."

"As for thirty years... it's just testing the waters."

Li Zhouwei nodded secretly and said with a smile:

"It just so happened that I hurried back and didn't have time to go to Nanshun Raja. If this man is trustworthy, I can let him deal with it."

Li Ximing said solemnly:

"The same is true for Qing Yan's matter... but Qu Sishan can be trusted, but Guo Nanwu may not be. We have no power in the South China Sea, and we can't keep an eye on his people. Besides... he is a Purple Mansion, if he is shameless, he can escape and hide in some corner of the world. There is no way to find him back... Let's entrust him with small matters first, and test him a little more."

Seeing that Li Ximing was sensible, Li Zhouwei felt relieved, but Li Ximing shook his head and said:
"But I have something to think about... When I practiced the secret method, I was able to practice with the help of the spiritual treasure [Huaijiang Map], which was quite beneficial... So today when Jiangqian practiced, I took the [Heavy Fire and Two Bright Instruments] with me."

A hint of doubt appeared on his face:

"But... [Heavy Fire and Two Bright Ceremony] didn't help him with his cultivation at all..."

Li Zhouwei practiced the secret method in one go, and he didn't think about whether it was a magical treasure or not. He didn't think about this aspect, but his current Taoism is not low. After thinking about it, he replied:
"I have also seen that spiritual treasure. The Huai River Map is unusual. It is not considered a top-quality treasure, but the map has the handwriting of Supreme Lord Shangyao, so it is mysterious..."

Li Ximing understood now, and pretended to laugh with gritted teeth:
"I'll have to get this thing sooner or later!"

Li Zhouwei laughed and shook his head, and asked:

"Uncle, have you paid attention to the matter of [Wancheng Zhuguang Emperor's Letter]?"

"This is an important matter, don't forget it!"

Li Ximing smiled and said:
"This [Book of Ten Thousand Chariots to Execute the Emperor] states that one must collect [the energy of the emperor's aura], which requires the energy of a noble clan and the energy of an emperor, or a place where the emperor was executed after his defeat, or a place where he was ordered to rise up and cleanse his enemies, with thousands of people wearing armor and worshiping, and with the help of a bright sunny day, one can only get a ray of it in half a year."

This made Li Zhouwei ponder deeply, frowning and saying:
"Do you still have to go through all this trouble?"

Li Ximing looked strange and replied:

"No need. I have used my magical powers to investigate and sent people to each of them. There are as many as four selected mountains and temples in this magnificent Wangyue Lake, and even... even... there are some on the north bank."

Li Zhouwei nodded immediately:
"That's true... Wangyue Lake has been stained with blood and tears for a hundred years, so it deserves a fight."

Li Ximing was just thinking and answered:
"I picked and chose and felt that the imperial aura was stronger than the other things. Dajueting was where the kings lived for generations, so it was more noble and convenient than the other places, so I collected the aura from Dajueting."

"If you count the time, it's only three or four years."

Li Zhouwei was not in a hurry. He cultivated very quickly. He had just mastered "Jun Dao Wei" not long ago. Too much is as bad as too little. He cultivated supernatural powers one after another. Even if he had a destiny, he would not be able to bear it. He just nodded and said:

"Trouble uncle."

Li Ximing's expression became more complicated, and he replied:

"In fact... Mei Chi Mountain behind our ancestral land... can also be used, but it is not a treasure land, and the Qi is a bit stagnant. I guess it will not be smooth to collect Qi."

"That... is where the ancestor of the Zhongmai clan... Lord Tongya died. It was where my father Zhong was ordered to..."

This made Li Zhouwei silent for a moment, then he replied:

"Minghuang vowed to kill Shenlufu."

"Hey!"

Since breaking through Changxiao, Li Ximing's mind has been confused, and the dragon clan's affairs have made him anxious. Now, after hearing this sentence, he choked up and replied:

"This... situation, how can it end? It seems like a raging fire, but there are gods above you, making things difficult for you everywhere. It's hard for you, but you still have to think about the Demon King of Southern Xinjiang..."

Li Zhouwei shook his head silently and replied:

"Uncle... that's not how it works. Even if Zhou Wei is caught in the crossfire of the world, he must avenge his ancestors! As for whether Zhou Wei is powerless, he will kill himself. This revenge will be avenged by future generations."

He comforted Li Ximing with these words, which seemed to make him feel like he had received some kind of promise. He sighed secretly and felt even more disappointed. He put away his emotion on his face, stood up, put away [Listen to Purple Qi], and sighed:

"I'm going to regulate my breathing right now. The success or failure of my magical power depends on this battle! I must not relax easily."

Li Zhouwei nodded and sent him out of the mountain. Then he stood still in the rolling rain of flowers and suddenly fell silent.

The young man with golden eyes walked around with his hands behind his back, his eyes cold:

"In the past, I felt that my sons would not survive, so I did not include them in the family tree. But now... I am afraid that the whole family will be destroyed easily!"

He gently stretched out his hand, his sleeves painted with gold patterns sparkled in the sunlight, and two gardenia petals fell from his palms:
"Uncle... Actually, there is nothing to leave for future generations to revive. I killed Shen Lufu because everything I carried and was obsessed with should end in my hands. What Zhou Wei is fighting for is not the past, nor the present, nor the three or ten generations, but the glory that will last forever."

'It's been almost two thousand years... Mingyang is an unstable sect that is hostile to the mountain, and a sect that has consumed Luoxia Mountain's efforts for nearly two thousand years. It cannot tolerate any more changes.'

'I don't believe that Luoxia and the Dragon Clan have no plans for Mingyang, nor do I believe that there are no great cultivators in the Dragon Palace and on the mountain who cultivate Mingyang. There is no turning back on this road. The father has passed away, and the son cannot sit in his seat, so someone else will take it. Even if the seat is not stable, they will first sit on the side and wait ambitiously. No matter whether others can sit or not, as long as they still want to sit, is there any way for the descendants to survive?'

'after all…'

He murmured somewhat self-deprecatingly:
"As long as the throne has an owner, who can't sit on it?"

"Crash..."

A breeze swept in from the mountains, taking away all the white flowers in the palm of his hand. The young man had disappeared, leaving only the chaotic white flowers and the extremely silent fairy mountain under the sky. The formation slowly closed, freezing everything in the past.

The sky in the mountains was silent, but the clouds in the east were constantly rolling, condensing into the shapes of a serpent and water and fire, changing alternately, and the glow of the fire became dimmer and dimmer, and was soon driven back to the north.
