Xuanjian Xianzu

Chapter 1083 Crescent Moon
"It's natural!"

The old man in front of him responded repeatedly. Li Suining was so serious that he paced in front of the cave, thinking in his heart:
'Li Jieyi.'

Li Suining was not unaware of Guang Chan, he even knew that his common name was Li Jieyi... If one mentions this Li Jieyi, one cannot avoid Shengming Jinming Wang.

The Shengming Jinming King was a big shot in Daliang at that time, occupying a small Buddhist land. Although this Buddhist king was often attributed to the Great Admiration Dharma Realm, he was not actually one of the Seven Phases. He was somewhat close to the ancient Buddhists, and was also an important support for the Tuoba family...

When the Tuoba family proclaimed themselves emperors, he was the seventh Maha. He attained the Dharma state at the end of the Liang Dynasty. Combined with the legendary little Buddha, his power was terrifying. However, he also died at the end of the Liang Dynasty.

"The last Liang Emperor fell into the water and died. In essence, it was the fall of Liang Wu Emperor... King Shengming Jinming also fell with him... Could it be that he touched the Mingyang Dao..."

King Shengming Jinming had five demonic sons, all of them were monstrous monsters, who were killed and converted one by one by King Shi. Li Jieyi was the descendant of the fifth son. His ancestors hid in a family when Liang was destroyed and luckily survived.

The reason why Li Suining knew it so clearly was that Li Jieyi would have a great reputation in the future!
'Logically speaking, he had never gone south at this moment. He was the opponent of the King of Wei when he went north to fight... until... the Great Peacock [Yayoi Reincarnation] of the Great Desire Path!'

Li Suining was quite silent. Thinking back now, it was still difficult for him to put into words - an extremely horrific civil strife had occurred in the Great Desire Dao, which had been strife openly and covertly for a thousand years. It caused the whole world to change color and was shocked. It even reached the point where there were no taboos and the Dharma appeared in the world!
The Path of Great Desire leaped forward and was on par with the Path of Compassion, competing for the top position among the Seven Phases!

Although this turmoil had nothing to do with the Li family, it changed the entire situation among the seven ministers!

Maha Queyu of the Great Desire Sect came out of retreat after completing his mission, and went south with the three Buddhist disciples born from "The Reincarnation of Yayoi", causing a sensation in the north of the Yangtze River. It even frightened the Compassionate Sect, which had been sitting back and watching the situation, and forced them to go south together, which led to the great terror of "The Rebellion of Chang He".

And the one who is most related to the Li family is one of the three great Buddhist disciples - Zuo Ju Canzuo Lingqi Maha, whose secular name is Li Chengpan!
The queliyu brought the lingqi south and confronted Li Jieyi, trying to snatch the small Buddhist throne from him. This indirectly led to the Damu Dharma Realm having to fully support Li Jieyi, which led to the promotion of Guangchan Maha.

"Now he... would have already gone south!"

Li Suining pondered in his heart, but overall he was not too panicked. He secretly guessed:

"The change is not because of Mr. Ding, but because of Master Zhao Jing. He was not trapped in the West Sea, but escaped unscathed. He changed from the King of Wei guarding the lake to the Master guarding the lake. The northern cultivators who want to take his life will not repeatedly test him like in his previous life, but will launch a radical and fierce attack!"

"But with the protection of the Song Dynasty, it won't go too far. If it hadn't fallen into the West Sea, the world would have been Ming! It's too early... a full ten years..."

Although escaping from the West Sea attracted more encirclement and suppression, as long as Li Ximing was safe, everything was worth it! He felt at ease when he heard that Li Ximing had gone to Southern Xinjiang safely.

'Overall, there haven't been any major changes... These changes aren't a bad thing!'

He had just calmed down, but he began to doubt:
“It’s just that this mountain is closed…”

This is not a good thing. Li Suining had experienced so many ups and downs in his previous life, but he had never heard of such a measure as house arrest!

"Could it be... that in the previous life, it was not as prominent as this... and I have never heard of it?"

He entered the cave silently and paced twice in front of the cushion:
"In my previous life, Uncle Jiang Chun rarely showed up... I went to see him, and he was visible... Now it seems like no one can see me..."

Li Suining was filled with fear, and raised his eyebrows after a long while:

"Could it be that...something went wrong...and the real person suspected me?"

He took out a piece of cloth from his sleeve, dipped the ink in it, thought for a moment, and then wrote a greeting in a very fluent manner.

Li Suining mentioned his breakthrough and went to inquire about the news of the mountain closure - this was not a difficult matter. He seemed to be a foundation-building person who never left his house, but with his experience in his previous life and his understanding of the current situation, no matter what excuses the other party made, Li Suining could easily judge the truth!

So he called the old man in and told him:

"Does Mr. Du know where my uncle is?"

Although Li Jiangchun is a rare genius, he is extremely low-key and cautious. Du Dou only said:
"I only heard that it is in the inner formation, but I don't know where in the formation it is."

Li Suining ordered:

"You only took my letter. Put it in the storage bag and don't take it out. Send it all the way to the inner formation and have someone give it to him to take a look."

Du Dou nodded quickly and left in a hurry, leaving Li Suining pacing a few steps with a rather uneasy heart, sighing secretly:

'I hope I'm overthinking it!'

Du Dou took his letter and hurried down the mountain, crossed the lake, and reached the island. He stopped a long way from the inner formation and bowed:

"Please ask Master Chen to take a letter for my master."

The cultivator guarding the inner formation had a serious expression and a head full of white hair. He sat cross-legged in front of the formation with his hands in a seal, like an old monk in meditation. He looked very old, but his back was still straight. He carried a long sword behind him. He was the old man Chen Donghe.

Chen Donghe is a veteran of several generations and the son-in-law of Shumai. He is of an extremely high generation and should have been enjoying his retirement at home. However, ever since Li Qiuyang passed away, the old man could not sit still and insisted on coming out to work. Li Jiangzong did not dare to neglect him and after much thought, arranged him in front of the inner formation.

His voice was deep:
"Are you from Suining?"

"Exactly!"

Chen Donghe took the letter from him, and read it meticulously, using the power of the formation to investigate. He turned to look at him, and seeing that he was dressed in plain clothes, he asked:

"The news of Ji Man's death... has reached you!"

Du Dou suddenly heard this and replied cautiously:

"My Lord, the master has passed away!"

The adult he mentioned was named Li Jiman. He was not very powerful, but he was the lord of Dongshan Yue. He was one of Xuan Xuan's grandsons and was once used to stabilize Shanyue.

He has half Li family bloodline and has enjoyed all the splendor and wealth in the world. He sat on the throne for nearly a hundred years. Even his sons and grandsons wanted to rebel against him, so he retired peacefully to practice cultivation. Now he has failed in his attempt to build his foundation and finally died.

Because he was Bo Mai's own man, Li Jiangzong gave him a funeral of high standards. The Di Li family on the Beishanyue side also followed suit and wore white clothes to show their respect from afar.

Chen Donghe stroked his white beard, his old face trembled, and he said in a hoarse voice:
"I should have tried it earlier. Now it's too late."

He stuffed the letter into his sleeve, turned around and hesitated for a while, but still entered the formation.

Chen Donghe had been here for quite some time, but he had only entered the formation a few times. After all, the cultivators who were qualified to enter the inner formation came in and out on their own, so they didn't need him. They just greeted him one by one, and he only memorized their faces, thinking to himself:

"They are all the pride of my family."

Now as he stepped into the formation, what he saw was the purple ceiling and the golden formation patterns under his feet, which made him feel a little scared. He passed through the dark golden attics for a long time and passed three formations before he saw a pool.

The pool is about nine meters long, the water is clear and appears to be no more than knee-deep. There are nine bright lamps standing by the pool, with a pale white glow. They appear particularly distant in the surrounding darkness, making people feel daunted.

He looked up and found a mighty waterfall like lavender mist pouring down from the ceiling. It fell to the bottom like layers of cotton wool, piling up on the water in the pool. The round jade platform in the middle was empty, with no human figure on it.

What was shining was a flash of sword light.

The light floated up and down, sometimes bright and sometimes dim in front of the eyes, sometimes full like a full moon, sometimes curved like a broken string, sometimes dark clouds covered the moon, and sometimes it was bright. Under the cold light of the bright moon, they merged together. The three streams of light were like fish swimming in the water, appearing and disappearing, and suddenly merging into one!

"clang!"

This purple waterfall was suddenly cut off. It was still flowing upwards and downwards, but the middle section suddenly disappeared, leaving only the crisp sound of the sword, which almost made the old man dizzy:

"What is this!"

Chen Donghe took a look and found that the Li family's rise was too fast, so fast that he could no longer understand it. Suddenly, he heard a voice calling in his ear:
"Elder Chen!"

Chen Donghe turned around quickly and saw a young man standing behind him. He had a smile on his face, was wearing a white feather robe, green boots, and was carrying Qingfeng on his back. He was stunned for a moment.

Chen Donghe was startled, a shivering chill seeped into his bones, and he fell into the turbulent river. He seemed to be squatting on the edge of the dark mud, holding a rough arrow in his hand, and the cold wind of early spring was all around him. The sword immortal looked at him for a moment, and he lost his mind.

"Elder Chen?"

Li Jiangchun quickly supported him and asked another question, and immediately asked Chen Donghe to get out of the turbulent river. He was sweating profusely and said absentmindedly:

"The junior is here to deliver a letter."

Li Jiangchun was stunned when he heard this. He raised his hand and gently brushed the old man's face. This moment was like a spring breeze and rain, erasing all his palpitations. He said in a gentle voice:
"Senior, you should get some medicine to soothe your mood..."

Chen Donghe nodded in confusion, and Li Jiangchun consoled him:

"It's a common symptom among the elderly...don't worry too much."

The old man stopped, bowed deeply to him, handed over his things, and retreated in a panic. He took several steps back, looked back, and felt a pain in his heart:
"No wonder Xuan Xuan likes him!"

Li Jiangchun was a little puzzled. He held the jade box in his hand, took a step forward, stood still in the drifting purple air, and exhaled deeply.

It was not until he exhaled that the rolling waterfall of purple air began to flow again, crashing down and transforming into a floating purple cloud that was so dense that it could not be dissolved, making his feather clothes rustle.

Among them, three lively moonlights floated out and wandered around his clothes. The three moonlights were thin in front and round in the back, like bird feathers, rippling with bluish-white light. They turned over together and turned into three lively birds, landing on his shoulders.

It was his sword energy——【Crescent Moon】.

In terms of sword inheritance and Taoist magic power, Li Jiangchun should be the one who is most similar to [Yue Que] among all the descendants of the Li family. The only difference is that his magic power is Shaoyin instead of Taiyin, so it has a more restrained and less full meaning, so he was named [Xian Yue].

Li Jiangchun has been practicing sword energy for quite some time. Over the years, he has not only been constantly improving his sword energy and learning [Autumn Moon Listening to Harmony], but most importantly, he has pushed the [Shaoyin Xuanjun Water and Fire Record], which he specially laid the foundation for before building the foundation, to the point where he can cast spells!

Simply using the [Shao Yin Xuan Jun Water and Fire Record] is by no means an easy task... Such a noble and mysterious skill is usually practiced in the Purple Mansion!

'Once the [Shaoyin Xuanjun Water and Fire Record] is completed, the [Cai Xing Ruo Shui] and [Chang Xing Yuan Huo] contained in it will operate automatically, complement each other, and add to the magic. It is like practicing spontaneously, not to mention that there will be many magical effects when fighting! '

Therefore, it was not without reason that he specially practiced this Dao early - firstly, the method he practiced was an ancient one, and he was at a great disadvantage in terms of secret methods, so he could only rely on the [Shaoyin Xuanjun Water and Fire Record] to make up for his cultivation; secondly... he was aiming to cultivate the sword intent, and the time he would stay in the foundation-building stage would probably be quite long. The sooner he could master the technique, the more time he could save!

What’s even more terrifying is the pool of water under my feet!

This thing is refined by [Fang Xi Miao Lu], and it is also mixed with [Tai Yin Yue Hua] - which is equivalent to his [Shao Yin Xuan Jun Shui Huo Lu], and it benefits from the pool water transformed by the first level of Shao Yin Zi Fu spiritual resource every moment!

Even though Li Jiangchun himself was quite knowledgeable, he couldn't help but marvel when he was in the situation:
"The Jindan forces are just like this... I'm afraid Qiushui and Qingjifang will get the same treatment! I am in this place, which is equivalent to practicing hard in the secret realm all the time. I have been focusing on magic for these years and have not practiced for a moment, but I have already reached the middle stage of foundation building."

As long as he is willing, by taking the elixir now, he will immediately reach the late stage of foundation building!
Even though he knew that all of this was mostly done with the help of immortal artifacts and the Jiuqiu Daoist school, which was close to the power of the Golden Core, and was extremely extravagant, Li Jiangchun still felt a little apprehensive:
"I'm afraid I'll fail my family's expectations!"

He just quietly rolled up his sleeves, quietly opened the jade box, and read it carefully, and suddenly felt joy:
"Good news... He has already broken through to the foundation building stage. His cultivation speed is so fast..."

But when he looked behind, his expression suddenly became a little strange.

The matter of Li Suining was an order given by the Immortal. Something happened on the island at that time and Li Ximing left in a hurry, but later the old man Li Xuanxuan also came to him nervously once - Li Jiangchun actually trusted Li Suining quite a bit.

Trustworthy as it was, he still took out his pen, thought for a moment, smiled, and started writing.

His letter was also full of doubts. He mentioned that he was also locked in the inner circle and could not get out. He was miserable and even had no one to serve him. He asked in a tactful way:
"There are still people who are in need in Suining. Please find out the information and let me know!"

So he put away his pen, and immediately a sword bird jumped up from his shoulder, took the letter and hurriedly delivered it. Li Jiangchun picked up the sword again and danced for a while, then stood still as if touched by something, and understood in his heart:

"Yes... I never leave my house, no wonder my Jian Yuan progress is so slow! The seniors used to either kill high-ranking cultivators, conquer the South China Sea, or kill countless monsters. I am working behind closed doors, and any progress is already something to be thankful for!"

He immediately put away his sword and casually placed it in the heavy purple air. He simply took out the [Shao Yin Xuan Jun Water and Fire Record] to practice first:
"Kendo requires blood!"
