The Lord of Thunder

Chapter 472: The Secluded Place of Saints
"Beidou, here I come!"

Xiao Ping'an finally set foot on the land of Beidou and couldn't help but let out a long roar to the sky.

After traveling through so many years and working hard, he finally escaped from Ziwei Star and came to the long-dreamed Beidou.

As the sun sets, the earth is dyed with a layer of brilliant sunset glow.

This is a vast plateau, boundless and extremely desolate, with red stones everywhere.

There is a dilapidated Taoist temple in the distance, which is very small.

At this time, in the afterglow of the setting sun, they were coated with a layer of light gold and red, making them look sacred.

It's a very weird feeling.

There is a solemn avenue charm here, full of the breath of time.

Xiao Ping'an gazed at the land, as if he wanted to go through the years and look for traces of the past.

A flock of birds flew through the sky, breaking the quiet and peace here.

After a burst of excitement, everyone finally took a close look at this place.

"These old small Taoist temples look very elegant," said Ji Dade.

"Yes, otherwise we would not have come to this place." Lu Wushuang said.

Those small Taoist temples, although they looked shabby, could actually suppress the local earth veins with their aura.

At first glance, it looked ordinary, but for Xiao Ping'an, who had learned the Dragon-Seeking Book, the more he looked at it, the more mysterious it became. There was a fascinating aura of the great way there.

"This is definitely a place where a saint practiced, and he left behind some great spiritual charm." Xiao Ping'an said.

"Really? Let me dig the grave first and see if I can dig out something good!" Ji Dade took the lead and wanted to dig out the holy weapon.

Unfortunately, after searching through a few inconspicuous small graves, nothing was found.

By chance, a cultivator passed by here and was caught by the crowd and his soul was searched.

I found out that this place is Nanling.

No wonder this place is so desolate, with mountains and beasts everywhere.

Zhongzhou, Beiyuan, Ximo, Nanling, and Donghuang are the five largest continents in Beidou. In addition, there are many overseas sacred islands.

This is a very primitive and desolate area in the Nanling Mountains.

However, Xiao Ping'an has made up his mind and plans to name the new Haiyue Holy Land the Xinyue Holy Land.

After comprehensive consideration, he decided to settle the holy land in Nanling.

The Western Desert is the territory of Buddhism, the Northern Plains is too desolate, the human race in Zhongzhou is prosperous, the famous mountains and rivers basically belong to someone, and there are too many life forbidden areas in the Eastern Desert.

Only the Nanling continent, where there are many monsters and the human power is relatively weak, is the most suitable for development.

Moreover, judging from the situation 50,000 years later, when the ancient creatures came into the world, the place where humans suffered the most losses was the northern region of the Eastern Wilderness.

So after comprehensive consideration, Xiao Ping'an decided to settle the Crescent Holy Land in the Nanling Continent, further south of the southern region of the Eastern Wilderness.

That is the continent where they are now.

People from the Ji family should go to the Ji family, and people from the Jiang family should go to the Jiang family.

The members of the Sun God Cult originally wanted to settle down in Nanling like Xiao Ping'an, but the Sun God Cult had close ties with the Jiang family, and the Jiang family strongly invited the Sun God Cult to go to the northern region of the Eastern Wilderness.

It was only after Xiao Ping'an married the Sun Princess that he learned a secret. It turned out that a powerful man from the Sun God Cult once met Emperor Hengyu, who was just a saint, and taught Emperor Hengyu the Sun Sutra without reservation.

It turns out that the Sun God Cult and the Jiang family actually have a relationship of worship.

When they were on Ziwei Star, although it didn't seem that the two families were very close, in fact, their high-level contacts and interactions were very frequent.

Unfortunately, the dark turmoil in the underworld later wiped out the Ji family and the Jiang family of Ziwei Star. Although the main branches of the Ji family and the Jiang family of Beidou Star luckily escaped the disaster, they never went back to open up Ziwei Star and restore the Ji family and the Jiang family of Ziwei Star.

Xiao Ping'an thought about the Sun Sutra and the description of the Hengyu Sutra in the original text, and there were indeed many similarities between them.

Could it be that Emperor Hengyu had undergone multiple transformations after obtaining the True Scripture of the Sun? Only then did he truly have the qualities to be an emperor?
Anyway, it is recorded in the original text that when Emperor Hengyu created the scriptures, he did refer to the Sun Sutra first.

The Ji family, the Jiang family, and the Sun God Cult, they all left.

And Xiao Ping'an said goodbye to them.

He first put the other people from the Haiyue Holy Land into the Toad Seal and let them practice in the space inside for the time being.

Xiao Ping'an was only followed by Lu Wushuang and Ye Qiu.

Although everyone left here, Xiao Pingan did not leave.

Because there are several Taoist temples where saints once lived, Xiao Ping'an plans to comprehend the charm of the Tao here.

On this day, he came to a Taoist temple on one of the main peaks.

This place is different from other main peaks. It can be said that there are green mountains and clear waters here, and it is full of vitality.

Patches of orchid trees, with white flowers in bloom, emit patches of fragrance.

As the breeze blows by, the petals dance in the wind, as crystal as snowflakes, and the fragrance becomes more and more intense.

The stream flows gently, through the orchid forest, carrying fragrant petals into the distance.

This Taoist temple is full of birdsong and flowers, and the scenery is picturesque.

Xiao Ping'an stood quietly in the orchid forest, letting the crystal petals and leaves surround him.

He felt more and more ethereal, and sensed a state of Tao.

His spiritual consciousness continued to extend, and gradually seemed to merge with the mountains and rivers.

Soon he discovered one ancient cave after another. They were all located deep in the mountains, giving people a feeling of being in a different world.

Xiao Ping'an felt very surprised. He felt that this place was very unusual, but he couldn't put his finger on it. He just felt that it was definitely not an ordinary place.

Although he knew that the saint had been here before, Ji Dade had also dug three feet deep here, but he did not expect that he had not discovered so many caves underground.

Xiao Ping'an vaguely felt the dragon energy lingering underground and the sound of ancient caves. It was obvious that a saint had lived there for a long time.

Xiao Ping'an, along with Lu Wushuang and Ye Qiu, disappeared instantly and appeared in a cave underground.

That ancient cave actually had many inscriptions, which were very ancient.

What surprised Xiao Ping'an even more was that there were patches of light mist lingering there, which ordinary people could not see at all.

At least Lu Wushuang and Ye Qiu couldn’t see it.

Only someone with extraordinary spiritual power like Xiao Ping'an could sense the dragon-shaped mist.

"Which saint had attained enlightenment here?" Xiao Ping'an couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"The aura here is indeed extraordinary, but I am too old to sense it. I wonder if the Holy Son can sense that there is a great inheritance passed down?" Ye Qiu asked.

"I also feel that this place is hazy. The more carefully I explore it, the more I feel that it is extraordinary." Lu Wushuang watched intently.

Xiao Ping'an's spiritual consciousness took shape, carefully observing and comprehending everything here.

It is very quiet in this underground cave. There is no grass at all. It is very desolate. There is nothing except the empty cave.

However, it is such a cave that gives people a feeling that time is passing slowly and quickly.
