After the Skyfall

Chapter 429 Xuan Huang Seal

Li Yi has crossed borders many times and experienced a lot of things. At this moment, facing these people who are enthusiastic about preaching and teaching him everything they know, he is naturally a little wary. Xiang Xiangzi is even willing to sacrifice her beauty to teach him Taoism, which makes him doubt Xiang Xiangzi's true purpose.

"Fairy, when I guided the spiritual energy in my body into yours just now, I must have felt it. Although I am in the Dharma Ending Age, I have not degenerated, and my realm has not dropped. Now in the Dharma Ending Age, I am humbly seeking the truth. Such a move that goes against the will of heaven is bound to arouse suspicion."

Li Yi slowly stood up at this moment, looked at Xiang Xiangzi with his silver eyes and said: "Fairy, do you really want to know whether I can gather the five energies in my chest and reopen the three flowers on my head in this Dharma Ending Age? That's why I joined the game to explore the secrets of practicing Taoism in this Dharma Ending Age."

As soon as these words came out, Xiang Xiangzi, who was beating someone, stopped beating him, and turned around with a heartbroken innocent look: "I have good intentions, and I want to exchange my life with you and entrust you with the great Dao. I am sincere and have absolutely no intention of plotting anything. If Taiyi doesn't believe me, you can kill me now. I would rather die than bear the stigma."

Li Yi sighed at this moment and said: "In fact, I had already made this preparation when I came to the Dao Court. Discussing the methods of cultivation with the predecessors of cultivation, sailing against the current, it is inevitable that it will arouse suspicion and suspicion. But I can also understand that if someone can cultivate in this Dharma Ending Age, it will naturally make people think about it."

He knew that if he wanted to learn the top Taoism in this world, he could not avoid this hurdle.

These senior Taoists are not fools. Even in the last days of the Dharma, there are still people seeking the truth with an open mind. If it were an ordinary person, it would be fine, but Li Yi obviously came with cultivation, and he is full of spiritual energy, like a ray of fire in the dark night, particularly eye-catching.

I would never believe that he has no secrets.

After all, the monks who experienced the Dharma Ending Age are still alive, and their era has not ended. There is still a glimmer of hope that they can return to the top.

Whether it is the old law or the new law, it is all the same as long as it works.

Li Yi then glanced at everyone again: "But unfortunately, I have to tell all the seniors that Taoism has reached a dead end in this world. It will take at least thousands of years, or even tens of thousands of years, for the spiritual energy to revive. No one can survive this period. No matter how rich the foundation is, it will be exhausted during this period of the last days."

"If you want to break the impasse, there are only two ways. Either give up cultivation and create a new method, or wait for the heavens to change."

Everyone fell silent.

What Li Yi said was absolutely true. Living in the Dharma Ending Age, they knew that if they wanted to practice cultivation, they could only create new methods. However, new methods were not so easy to create. That was why they gathered in the Taoist Temple, waiting for the right time to see if there was a glimmer of hope to revive their Taoist methods. Otherwise, they would have left this place long ago, built huts, planted crops and vegetables to make a living, and ended their lives.

It’s a pity that after waiting for so many years, countless cultivators died, but in the end, there was no change in the heavens, and only Li Yi came today.

"Taiyi, since Taoism has reached a desperate situation, why are you still asking for help?" At this time, a Taoist nun from Tianxiang Tower slowly walked over, bowed respectfully, and then asked solemnly.

The identity of this Taoist nun is also extraordinary. She is one of the original seven fairies of the Tiandao Sect, Xuan Yuezi, and her seniority is the same as Xiang Xiangzi.

When this question was asked, the bald Taoist priest, Taoist Wu who was squatting in the corner, and Liu Guzi and others all looked at Li Yi, hoping to get an answer.

"This question from the fairy lady is very sharp, but the time is not right now, so I don't want to answer." Li Yi said, "I have never met you before, so there are many things that I cannot tell you. But if you are willing to teach me the Taoism, I will know when the time comes. If you are not willing, I will not force you. After today, I will leave the Taoist court and find another way."

As he said this, he bowed to everyone.

Xuan Yuezi's eyes flickered slightly, and then he said: "The Dao of the Tiandao Sect will teach you everything, and will not keep any of it for yourself. To show my determination, I am willing to give you this item."

As she spoke, she took out a plain-looking small yellow seal from her wide sleeves. There were runes engraved on the seal, and there were flowing lights on it that looked quite magical.

"Xuan Huang Seal?"

The bald Taoist recognized it at a glance and couldn't help but wonder, "How did your Tiandao Sect manage to keep this Xuanhuang Seal alive and well? Such a top-notch Taoist tool should have been damaged like my Qiankun Ding long ago. It's impossible for it to be preserved."

“How to preserve it? Naturally, we cut off three magic flowers, implant them into it, and forcefully nurture it to preserve its life. For this reason, three of the seven fairies of my Tiandao Sect passed away ahead of schedule. In addition, nearly half of the spirit stones collected by Tianxiang Tower over the years have been consumed.” Xuan Yuezi looked at the Xuanhuang Seal in his hand and his expression became a little gloomy.

The bald Taoist was stunned for a moment and didn't know what to say.

Using the lives of three fairies to extend the life of the Xuanhuang Seal is really cruel.

"Taiyi, take the seal." Xuan Yuezi then threw out the Xuanhuang Seal, very decisively.

Li Yi stretched out his hand and grabbed in the air, and the internal energy rolled back, grabbing the Xuanhuang Seal in his hand. He tried to use the technique to guide the cosmic energy in his body into it, and the small seal immediately burst out with infinite light, instantly illuminating the entire Tianxiang Tower. Talismans floated in all directions, as if suppressing the entire world. Then, everyone in the Tianxiang Tower felt the unimaginable power, and instantly all knelt on the ground, unable to move at all.

But soon, his face changed slightly, and he felt that the cosmic energy in his body was disappearing madly.

With my own strength, I can't control this Taoist weapon at all.

The cosmic energy was immediately interrupted.

The mysterious power of the Xuan Huang Seal quickly subsided, and it turned into a small seal and returned to Li Yi's hand. "Tai Yi, don't, don't use the Xuan Huang Seal carelessly. This is a Taoist tool. The power explosion will destroy the entire Tian Xiang Tower, and we will all be killed." The bald Taoist hurriedly got up from the ground and shouted.

Fortunately, Li Yi was just making a small attempt and exerted very little power, otherwise someone would have died.

"Why did you give me such a powerful treasure for no reason?" He looked at the Taoist nun, puzzled again.

The bald Taoist and his companions were like this, Xiang Xiangzi was like this, and this person was also like this.

He seems to trust himself very much and is willing to entrust something to him.

Can trust between people be established so quickly?
Xuan Yuezi glanced at Xiang Xiangzi, and then said: "Taiyi, you just said that the time is not ripe. When the time is ripe, perhaps you will understand what we are thinking. You can just accept this seal with peace of mind. I have no other intentions. I just want to give Xiang Xiangzi a chance for the sake of the gift today. Let her teach you the Taoism on behalf of our Tiandao Sect."

"Xiang Xiangzi, she has lost all her cultivation and poses no threat to you. If you suspect her, just kill her directly. There is no need to bother others. The same goes for others. If you don't trust them, kill them as well. The Dao Court lacks everything except cultivators."

Her tone was flat, completely different from Xiang Xiangzi's clear love and hate personality.

Li Yi was about to speak when he suddenly sensed something and looked upstairs.

Immediately afterwards, a scream was heard.

A pungent smell of blood wafted over, and then they heard something rolling down the stairs. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and found that the thing rolling down was actually a woman's head. The head had its eyes wide open, with a hint of despair and anger, as if it was unwilling to die.

When Xuan Yuezi and Xiang Xiangzi saw the head, their bodies trembled and a trace of sadness appeared in their eyes.

"Who dares to kill someone in Tianxiang Tower?"

Wu Laodao said tremblingly. He wanted to stand up, but after thinking it over, he shrank back into the corner.

"Who else could it be? It must be someone from the royal court. They are drinking in Tianxiang Tower today." Xuan Yuezi walked over calmly, picked up the woman's head, and then wrapped it in his Taoist robe.

Royal court?

When they heard the word "Imperial Court", the stall owners who had been eating there scattered like birds and beasts, one running faster than the other. In the blink of an eye, there were only a few people left at the originally lively banquet.

"Are the people in the Imperial Court very powerful? So many cultivators are afraid of them."

When Li Yi saw the head, he felt it looked familiar, as if he had seen it before when he entered Tianxiang Tower. However, he never expected that it was dead in less than an hour. This made him frown.

The bald Taoist smiled bitterly and said, "The Imperial Court was established by Tianyi Sect, one of the three sects in the Taoist Court. They wanted to imitate the secular world, establish a dynasty, and rule the Taoist Court. Now they have recruited talents and become more and more prosperous. It is no longer what it used to be. After all, if Taoism disappears, humanity will naturally flourish. We Taoists are now old and weak, and we don't have the strength to fight against the Imperial Court."

"If you disobey me in the slightest, you will be beheaded in the street."

"Where is your method of calling the wind?" Li Yi asked.

The bald Taoist said embarrassedly, "I had to cut off the three flowers on my head before I could perform the Wind Calling Technique. The Tianyi Sect also has Taoist masters, and they are outnumbered and cannot resist at all. Moreover, there are only a few people like me in the Taoist Court. They are not willing to provoke masters of the Three Flowers Realm and just want to wait for us to pass away."

"So that's how it is. Then why did they dare to kill the people from Tiandao Sect today?" Li Yi asked.

"Because they are suppressing and annexing our Tiandao Sect."

Xiang Xiangzi said quietly, "Among the Dao Courts, the only one that can threaten the Imperial Court is our Tiandao Sect. In the past few years, everything was peaceful, but in the past two years, with the passing of the Seven Fairies and the Thirty-Six Dharma Protectors of our Tiandao Sect, the people of the Imperial Court have become more and more unscrupulous. Before, they used up their essence and fought with us. Although they won, they still lost. The more they used up their essence, the less energy they had, and the more people in the Imperial Court there were."

"It seems that your Tiandao Sect has chosen the wrong path, and you will not be able to escape unscathed from the Dharma Ending Age." Li Yi said.

He understood a little now.

Tianyi Sect, one of the three sects of Daoting, chose to integrate into the secular world, establish a dynasty, and recruit masters after the arrival of the Dharma Ending Age. Therefore, even in the Dharma Ending Age, it is still strong and prosperous. In addition, with the foundation of one of the three sects, it is almost invincible.

The Tiandao Sect did not take this path. They only thought about acquiring property, spending their old age in peace, and waiting for changes in the world. However, they never imagined that with the passage of time, they would fall into a disadvantageous position.
