Journey to the head

The golden leaves turned into ashes, and the shadow of the small world behind the spirit vein also disappeared, and Master Heming's attack was in vain. At the same time, this level 4 intermediate spirit vein suddenly shrank, shook violently, and then dissipated into the air like bubbles.

This is not the destruction of the spiritual vein, but the disappearance of the spiritual vein?
No, it would be more appropriate to say that the spiritual vein is "broken".

Yes, the golden leaves can open the spiritual vein channel, so why can't they cut off the spiritual vein channel? Now Tan Yunxing hid in the small world, or in the "firewood world" mentioned by the True Lord, and turned around and cut off the spiritual vein channel. This time, there is really no place to find him.

Tan Yunxing and others are not in the Yuanchen Realm, and even the Biluo Huangquan Mirror cannot find their trace.

Originally, Lu Qian had a flash of inspiration and had his own plan. If Taiyi Paradise could not open the small world for the time being and could do nothing to Tan Yunxing and the others, then Lu Qian would find a way to sneak back here and directly insert the golden branch into the spiritual vein of this place, and forcibly drain this small world of firewood and explode it!

Even if Tan Yunxing and the other members of the Forbidden Sect had ten lives, they would be buried with Xiaojie.

But now that the spiritual veins have been cut off, this plan has failed.

So to speak, the spiritual vein channel connects the Yuanchen Realm and the Chaixin Small Realm. So after the channel is disconnected, will this small realm directly break away from the Yuanchen Realm and disappear into the void?
At this moment, Lu Qian was still thinking about the mystery of the spiritual vein, reasoning and summarizing, preparing to conduct a further series of experiments on the golden branch after this matter was over. Tan Yunxing's last words floated in all directions with the dissipating spiritual vein, and everyone present heard it clearly.

"I will be back. Goodbye, Lu Qian, my good master."

Lu Qian's heart suddenly sank, and he cried out that something was wrong. The space froze in an instant, and an intense chill rushed straight down his spine!

Zhenjun Heming took a step forward and stood in front of him, his eyes fixed on Lu Qian with shock and anger.

"What did he say? You are his master?!"

In an instant, the two True Lords Qionggao and Wuzhuo switched positions, and formed a triangle formation with True Lord Heming to surround Lu Qian. The terrifying spiritual pressure rose to the sky, and the space solidified like ice, pressing Lu Qian so hard that he could hardly breathe. The murderous intent that almost condensed into substance made Lu Qian's whole body cold.

But if there is anything unusual, you will die immediately!
Lu Qian took a deep breath and glanced around. Miaomiao Xuanjun and Qiancheng Lingjun were looking at him with a look of astonishment. They never expected that they were just grateful to Lu Qian for saving Cangzhou, but in the blink of an eye, they were told that it was Lu Qian's disciples who destroyed Cangzhou!

How should we calculate the sufferings and huge losses experienced by the monks in Cangzhou?
The Chiyu Zhenren beside him was also full of surprise. He had not expected such a change. He subconsciously wanted to protect Lu Qian, whose spiritual power was greatly damaged, behind him, but now he was locked by the aura of the three Zhenjuns, and even he could not move at all.

"Master Heming, please listen to me!" Lu Qian's mind raced and he shouted. Qiong Gao and Wu Zhuo had just arrived and didn't know what was going on. Only Master Heming, who knew the whole story, could communicate with them.

"It was me who exposed their true identities, revealed the Sixth Heavenly Sovereign's conspiracy, and saved Cangzhou from the disaster of overthrow. The Forbidden Religion and I are enemies, and this is their plan to kill someone with a borrowed knife!"

As soon as these words were spoken, True Lord Heming's expression relaxed slightly, while True Lords Qionggao and Wuzhuo could not help but be greatly surprised. They only now realized that this arrest operation involving the minions of the Ten Heavenly Lords was actually initiated by Lu Qian, an inconspicuous golden elixir!

The pressure that had been as strong as a mountain began to soften, and Lu Qian breathed a sigh of relief.

"So, is this also the nonsense of the Holy Envoy of the Forbidden Religion?" asked True Lord Heming.

As long as there is a chance to explain, there is always room for maneuver and opportunity for reversal.

Lu Qian smiled bitterly and shook his head: "My fellow True Lords, my fellow seniors, please listen to me and let me explain."

"That Holy Envoy of the Forbidden Religion is named Tan Yunxing. He was indeed once my Yunshan disciple. He was also highly regarded by me and was accepted by me as my second disciple."

"But 25 years ago, this person caused a great disaster while building his foundation, killing many of his fellow disciples. Fearing punishment, he fled and betrayed the sect."

"I kept it a secret because I was worried about the reputation of my sect. There was no news of him for the next 25 years, and I thought he had died somewhere. I never expected that after 25 years, when he reappeared, he would inexplicably become the so-called Holy Envoy of the Forbidden Sect, a pawn of the Sixth Heavenly Monarch, and was promoted to the level of Yuanshen cultivation due to the arrangement of the Sixth Heavenly Monarch, thus poisoning Cangzhou and causing disasters for thousands of miles."

"No matter what happened in the past, when he fled for fear of punishment and joined the forbidden sect, he no longer had any relationship with me or my Yunshan Sect. Instead, he became a traitor that my sect must hunt down."

"So after he showed up, I wanted to uphold justice and defend Cangzhou, and I wanted to punish the rebels and enforce the law. I have been doing my best to expose his and the Forbidden Cult's shocking conspiracy and destroy the Sixth Heavenly Monarch's layout and plan. I hope that the Immortal Sect and the Heavenly Monarchs will take action to catch him and the Forbidden Cult in one fell swoop."

"I didn't expect him to be able to escape, and he didn't forget to frame me in the end. Although we were master and disciple back then, we have become mortal enemies now. I will do my best to cooperate with the Immortal Sect to eradicate the forbidden sect and completely destroy the conspiracy of the Sixth Heavenly Sovereign. Please don't doubt me, all the True Lords and seniors!"

After listening to Lu Qian, Miaomiao Xuanjun couldn't help but ask: "The beginning of this battle was the competition between your Chongming Alliance and the forbidden religion 'Three No', but you seemed to have foreseen it and evacuated in a hurry. Most of you successfully escaped from the Zi Nie Tianmu. How do you explain this?"

Lu Qian knew that it was against the backdrop of Tan Yunxing's accusation that Miaomiao Xuanjun suddenly remembered this incident and suspected that his side had obtained some intelligence in advance but had not shared it with their colleagues in Cangzhou, which might be a deliberate frame-up.

Lu Qian quickly confessed, saying that Kan Yuanzi used his lifespan as a price to launch the prophecy mantra, giving him an early warning that allowed him to escape. He also said, "Regarding the unusual movements of the forbidden sect, I did have some unclear speculations in advance, and reported the matter to the Spirit Beast Sect, but the Spirit Beast Sect believed that it was all nonsense, so they did not report it again."

Zhenjun Heming looked at Lu Qian deeply.

Things about Lu Qian were getting more and more complicated. He was originally a great hero in this battle, but he also became the former master of the Sixth Heavenly Sovereign's minions. He also knew a lot about the Heavenly Sovereign and his judgment was particularly sharp, far beyond the scope of ordinary mortals. In addition, he had the ability to penetrate the pseudo-immortal method, so it was hard not to suspect that he was related to the True Immortal Heavenly Sovereign.

Which Heavenly Sovereign is involved in his background? And how should rewards and punishments be dealt with?

Forget it, let’s leave it to the Council of Elders.

At this time, Miaomiao Xuanjun wanted to ask more questions, but Heming Zhenjun raised his hand to stop him and said in a deep voice: "If this is just an internal affair of your Cangzhou, it doesn't matter how you explain it. The key is that it involves the Sixth Heavenly Monarch. This matter is too serious, and it is far from enough for you to just explain it to me, and there are still many things you haven't said."

"Please come with me and join my sect to be questioned and investigated."

After a pause, his voice softened a little: "Don't worry, if what you said is true, although you cannot escape the fault of teaching your apprentice poorly and causing the disaster, he has defected for a long time, so you are not directly responsible. I think your contribution is huge, enough to make up for your mistakes, and even worse, you should be rewarded."

Lu Qian thanked him repeatedly, and then he said, "The others will also come with us. I still have many questions for you."

As they were about to enter Taiyi Paradise, everyone was nervous, and Lu Qian, who was at the center of the vortex, was completely unsure. It was really frustrating and helpless to have one's life and death completely controlled by others.

"Brother Heming, this place needs to be explored in detail." said the female Zhenjun.

True Lord Heming nodded and communicated with Taiyi Paradise again. After a moment, strong winds surged and the space was torn apart. Amid the loud whale song, a thousand-mile-long refining whale escaped from the sky. Then, one huge warship after another sailed out from the virtual image of the cave on the whale's back and fell towards the forbidden church that had become a ruin.

Such warships were huge, fully armed, and all kinds of weapons flashed brightly. In front of them, their own Lingxu Zhenyuan Shenzhou was just a small sampan in front of the giant ship. However, Lu Qian looked familiar with these shapes. This level of giant ships had appeared in the memory fragments of Meng Chi Zhenjun, and were widely used in the battlefields where human cultivators fought against other races. Taiyi Paradise inherited its design and formed a more cutting-edge giant warship through continuous improvement.

The elite forces of Taiyi Paradise, under the leadership of the two True Lords, Qionggao and Wuzhuo, will conduct a thorough search of this place, further analyze the intelligence of the Forbidden Religion and the Sixth Heavenly Lord, and try to find any clues about Tan Yunxing and others.

At this time, Lu Qian and others had been taken by Master Heming and were teleported again.

When Lu Qian focused his eyes, what came into view was the vast expanse of dark land in the clouds. The next moment, Lu Qian realized that this was not land, but the back of a giant whale!
The sun was about to set, and a crescent moon was looming in the distant east. The orange sunset dyed the sky full of clouds, rising and falling in the clouds, and the magnificent light was reflected on the whale's back that could not be seen at a glance.

Before they could take a few glances at this breathtaking scenery, True Lord Heming had teleported with a few people again and arrived in front of the virtual image of the magnificent scenery of Taiyi Paradise, the Fairy Cave, on the back of the whale.

Watching the illusory yet vivid scene like a mirage up close, gazing at the mountains, waterfalls, rivers, valleys, magnificent buildings and prosperous cities, Lu Qian felt dizzy and speechless.

"Uncle Heming, you're back."

Only then did Lu Qian see clearly that there were two giant jade pillars a thousand feet high in front of him. Light was surging, and countless runes were spinning and colliding inside the pillars, flickering.

Under each giant pillar, there is a Yuanshen Xuanjun standing by. When they see Zhenjun Heming, they hurriedly bow to greet him.

Heming Zhenjun nodded and said, "I have been sent by the Council of Elders to bring these people in for questioning. Please open the cave."

The two souls responded, and instantly their souls left their bodies. Two huge virtual images of the souls stood on both sides of the jade pillars, each holding a long magic weapon with a hook on the tip, and stretched it towards the center of the two jade pillars, as if hooking something, and then gently pulled it to both sides.

Ripples surged in space, and the two treasure hooks pulled left and right, and a space curtain was opened!
In an instant, behind the curtain of space, spiritual energy surged like a tide, sweeping in with a loud bang!

"A level ten spiritual vein, this is definitely a level ten spiritual vein!" Miaomiao Xuanjun exclaimed.

Lu Qian took a deep breath, and every joint, every meridian, and every pore in his body was cheering for joy. He felt warm and lively, and so comfortable that he almost moaned. The spiritual power that had been exhausted was recovering rapidly.

Indeed, the grade of this spiritual energy is only lower than the immortal energy of the Pure Land of the Lord of Life and Death. It must be the spiritual energy of the highest quality, which is undoubtedly the tenth-level spiritual vein.

The Lianxu giant whale carries the sect's cave heaven, the Yuanshen Xuanjun guards the cave heaven's gate, and the tenth-level spiritual vein is surging in the cave heaven.
This is the demeanor of a overlord-level sect!

Thinking about it this way, it is said that only True Lord Lianxu can understand the secrets of spiritual veins, and has the ability to improve the grade of spiritual veins. He can also directly implant spiritual veins in his own cave. Now we can roughly guess the principle.

True Lord Lianxu can travel through the void and use the power of space to strengthen and widen the spiritual vein channels and improve the quality of the spiritual veins. He can also transfer the existing spiritual vein channels to his own cave. This is spiritual vein transplantation.

However, True Lord Lianxu cannot directly open the spiritual vein channel. It seems that the power of space alone is not enough to enter the firewood world.

The preciousness and power of the golden branch have been raised to a higher level. It will be the greatest reliance for the rapid rise of the Yunshan Sect in the future.

No matter what, this secret must be kept in front of Taiyi Paradise.

While Lu Qian was thinking, Master Heming had already led everyone into the opened space curtain.

At this moment, the mountains, rivers, hills and cities seen outside became reality, and a brand new world appeared in front of them. It seemed boundless at a glance, and it was estimated to be thousands of miles wide.

Looking up, there is no sun or moon in the sky here, but it is emitting a soft white light, and there are constant flashes of light in the sky. Many monks from Taiyi Paradise are flying in the sky, feeling contented.

What a carefree and peaceful paradise for cultivating immortals, far away from the hustle and bustle!

The most eye-catching thing is that in the center of the sky of this cave, there is a floating island with a radius of one hundred miles hovering. The powerful protective formation emits amazing fluctuations, and thick escape lights are rising and falling on the island.

Heming Zhenjun instructed: "You have entered my sect's immortal cave. There are many restrictions here and you cannot move through space. Follow me closely and don't wander off or you will bear the consequences."

Several people nodded hurriedly, followed Master Heming and flew towards the floating island in the sky.

After approaching the floating island's protective formation, the powerful spiritual pressure made Lu Qian tremble with fear, unable to judge its specific grade. The two Yuanshen Xuanjun were responsible for guarding the entrance and exit of the formation.

Lu Qian felt emotional. In the Yuheng Continent, Miaomiao Xuanjun was already the lord of a state, a man who could turn the tide and attract many followers. But in the Taiyi Paradise, even the gatekeepers and those guarding the formation were Yuanshen Xuanjun.

Zhenjun Heming had a very high status, so after a quick inspection, the two Xuanjuns cleared the way and allowed everyone to enter.

The spiritual energy here is more dense than other places, even so dense that it makes people feel suffocated. It seems that this is the core of the spiritual vein. But before they could take a closer look at the scenery on the island, Lu Qian and others were taken into a hall.

"You wait here. I will go and report now, and someone will come to take you there naturally."

Lu Qian and his companions waited obediently where they were. Seeing the Taiyi Paradise cultivators standing on both sides of the hall, the worst of whom were at the Golden Core stage, it made them sigh even more.

Not long after, cultivators came to summon Miaomiao Xuanjun, Qiancheng Lingjun, and Chiyu Zhenren, and they left one after another.

True Man Chiyu didn't want to separate from Lu Qian, but this was the cave paradise of Taiyi Paradise. How could a mere Jindan like him have any say? He had to accept the investigation alone as arranged.

Finally, Lu Qian was the only one left in the hall, and then a Yuanshen Xuanjun walked in.

"Are you Lu Qian?"

Lu Qian bowed and nodded.

"Very good." The Xuanjun suddenly sneered, "Catch him for me!" (End of this chapter)
