Chapter 571, Retreat
After waiting for more than an hour, the thunder finally dissipated, and Qin Jue had just leaked out of his body, only to see that the entire valley began to tremble violently.
"Is this going to be an earthquake, run!" Xuanwu shouted, stepping forward and grabbing Qin Jue.
At this moment, Qin Jue finally came back to his senses, glanced at the stone tablet in front of him, and his face was slightly puzzled. However, he didn't continue to hold on, and jumped straight out on his toes with a light tap.
Collapse......
The whole mound collapsed at once, and the whole valley was like a mountain collapse and the earth was cracking, and the sky was falling. Endless smoke and dust shrouded down, and the palace, which was originally in ruins, was only a huge pit in the blink of an eye.
Fortunately, everyone retreated in time, and at this moment, standing halfway up the mountain and staring at this ruin, their faces were quite shaken.
"The Qilin Sect, which was transcendent in the past, has now completely disappeared, all of this is my fault, and since then I have gone into seclusion again, exhausting my life's strength, hoping to build the sect again. Bao Yifan said solemnly, with endless sadness in his expression.
"You, what else can you do as a ruined waster with a broken golden pill?" Tie sneered, his face full of disdain.
"Even if I'm just a mortal, I can still rebuild the sect brick by brick, maybe one day in the future, the Qilin Sect will still appear, and I'm willing to just be an old man sweeping the floor. Use my last power to protect the sect. As he spoke, he walked slowly, took out an iron broom from his ring, and began to sweep away the ashes in the valley.
"Maybe this is his last way to forgive, forget it, let him go, here's it, I also have a wish, it's dark one night, let's rest for one night and set off early tomorrow morning." Xuanwu said in a low voice.
"Where should we go next?" Qin Zulong frowned, the most important thing now was to find Yu Yue, but there was no news of her at all, which really made people unable to find the direction.
"Next, I'll set off north, I don't know why since I arrived in this ancient heavenly court, I have lost the sense of the golden cicada Gu on Su Yue's body, but I have a hunch that she must have encountered some ** trouble, and she must be able to completely hide the aura of the golden cicada Gu, and even wipe out the strong one, so she is likely to be in the place where the strong on this continent gather. Qin Jue said solemnly, his face cold.
"Do you mean that your companion is in the Divine City? In this way, the Golden Wumen is one of the four major sects of the Divine City, but we still have to keep a low profile on this trip, among the four major sects, there are strong people in the Dao realm, and we are afraid that it is not enough to see in the Divine City with our strength. Prince Guo admonished.
"Go to the Divine City, okay, I also want to see how powerful the so-called strongest place on the continent is. By the way, Boss Qin, is that companion of yours a man or a woman?" Xi Luo was very excited and hurriedly asked.
"What a companion, that's our sister-in-law. Xuanwu gave him a blank look, and began to order the guards to prepare for camp.
Early the next morning, everyone was ready to set off, but Bao Yifan also cleaned up in the valley all night. Xuanwu couldn't bear it, and begged Qin Jue to leave a few bottles of healing pills, and everyone left directly, even with Bao Qinglian's mother and daughter.
So far, to the north, tens of thousands of miles of Guanshan have crossed the north, and more than 20 people have crossed the mountains and mountains all the way, passing through the city and passing through the city, heading towards the Divine City, the central area of the Ancient Heavenly Court.
Just after everyone left for half a month, Bao Yifan was also busy in that valley for half a month, every day he went up the mountain to open the mountain to take stones, and worked tirelessly to build here, there was no aura, he was just a mortal, but Bi had the blessing of the Yuanying, so that his physique and soul were far beyond ordinary people, which seemed to have become the only purpose of his life. In half a month, the original foundation had been excavated, and the stones that were the foundation had been buried, and finally in the middle of the night, he stopped for the first time.
Suddenly there was a visitor on the edge of the valley, it was a woman, she stood there quietly, looking at everything in front of her, and could not help but sigh.
"It's been thirty years, and you're finally back, but is it really meaningful to do everything now?" the woman asked in a low voice, the corners of her eyes already moistened. The bright moonlight hung down, shining on her head full of silver threads, and the breeze blew gently, swinging her plain long dress, this picture was incomparably poignant.
Bao Yifan turned around and looked at the woman quietly, his face shocked.
"You...... I didn't expect you to stay here after all these years. β
"This is my home, if I don't stay here, where should I go? But you, can you give up the outside world of flowers and flowers and return here willingly?" the woman asked in a low voice, still very plain.
The woman is Xuanwu's biological mother, and she is also the only saint daughter of the Qilin Sect back then, because of Bao Yifan, the entire Qilin Sect was destroyed, and an elder of the sect at that time protected their mother and son all the way away, Bao Yifan led people to chase and kill, and only brought back the body of the elder. That is Bao Yifan deliberately let them go, because of this, later the woman handed over the child to a caravan to and from the mountains and forests, and then returned to the sect, seeing the sect was destroyed, she was disheartened, she had not been out of the mountains and forests for decades, and would come to the grave every once in a while to worship, and every time she came to the Qingming Festival, she would come back to repair the tomb.
Until yesterday, she saw a few days ago, she saw a group of people coming in a hurry, so she avoided it far away, but she didn't expect to return here after half a month, and she saw Bao Yifan, who was busy rebuilding the palace here.
Decades of light and shadow are like shuttles, as if everything is back to the past, but it is a pity that the mountains and rivers change color, the stars change, and all that remains are two hearts full of guilt.
looked at each other like this, and was silent for a long time, before Bao Yifan spoke: "I...... Seeing his son, he is very good now, following a person who can dominate the sky, he must be able to make a name for himself in the entire Ancient Heavenly Court in the future. β
"Yes, I also saw him, I saw my son, and I also saw the young man who was destined, the mission of my Qilin Sect for tens of thousands of years was finally completed by my son, and I don't have any burden in my heart, from now on, the sky is high and the sea is wide, let them run wild......"
"Why don't you see your son, I think he must have wanted to see you. Bao Yifan said hurriedly.
"For decades, I have never fulfilled my responsibilities as a mother, and it makes no difference whether I see him or not, just watching him from afar, watching him eat meat and drink a big glass of wine, it is enough......"
Bao Yifan nodded, and didn't say anything more, this woman has always been like this, extremely calm, never knows what resentment is, never covets any beautiful luxury in the world, he may have felt dull and boring before, until now he knows that this is the most sincere heart.
"From today onwards, you will rebuild the sect here, right? I will bring you food every day, and when this is all back to the way it was, you and I may be less guilty, alas......" sighed lightly, and the woman disappeared again.
Bao Yifan smiled slightly, tears had already wet his face.
"If I could do it all over again, I'd rather stay here for the rest of my life and enjoy a family ......"
The convoy traveled for another ten days, and at last they came to a large river, on which there was no bridge, and only a few piers as far as the eye could see, and a few large boats on the shore.
Everyone stopped, and one of the guards stepped forward to report: "Master, this is the Tongtian River, across the river is the boundary of the Divine City, in the early years I had a royal caravan here, this is a ring river, it is rumored to be the moat outside the entire heavenly court back then, it also has another name weak water, but later more people are used to calling it Tongtian River, there are many ferries up and down the river, we charter a boat to cross the river, even with our carriage can cross it." β
Qin Jue waved his hand and told him to do it.
"This place is still eight thousand miles away from the middle domain of the Divine Court, and it belongs to the sphere of influence of the Ethereal Peak, in the Divine Court, it is extremely important for the sect to be born, especially inside and outside the Holy Domain, if there is no identity of the four major sects, we are afraid that it will be a lot more difficult for us to go...... "Prince Guo sighed lightly, "Back then, I worshiped under the Golden Crow Sect, but unfortunately I was murdered after only two years of entry, so many of the secret techniques in the sect have not been infiltrated, if it weren't for this, I am afraid that I would have set foot on the realm of returning to the void a long time ago." β
Qin Jue was a little curious, and asked in a low voice, "Are the four major sects really that powerful, and what kind of realm have their strongest reached?"
"These sects are all the inheritance left by the former strongest, Jinwumen is the Taoist palace left by the Emperor Emperor Jun and the Eastern Emperor Taiyi; and the Imperial Palace is the inheritance place left by the legendary Emperor Nuwa, but long before Nuwa became holy, it was handed over to her descendants, and this sect only recruits female disciples; Kunwu Mountain is the Taoist system of the ancestral witch Xuanming, which integrates the supreme supernatural powers of the ten ancestral witches; in addition, the Ethereal Peak is the most mysterious, their disciples have the fewest descendants, and the entry is also the most demanding, and there are different opinions about its origin, but the most widely circulated saying is that this is the Taoist palace left by the former Taoist ancestor, so the children of the Ethereal Peak do not often participate in secular battles, and most of them are recluses. β
"The Ethereal Peak left by Dao Ancestor Hongjun, isn't it said that Hongjun preached in Zixiao Palace?" Qin Jue asked curiously.
"Where did you kid hear about Yeshi, why have I never heard of Dao Ancestor's name Hongjun? And the entire Ancient Heavenly Court is afraid that there is no place called Zixiao Palace. Prince Guo rolled his eyes.
Qin Jue smiled awkwardly and said in a low voice: "There are too many books, I have read the ......."
Soon, the guards rushed back, the ship had been arranged, just in front of the ferry, just wait for everyone to get on the boat to pull the anchor and set sail, the Tongtian River is more than 800 miles long, the ship needs at least three days to sail on the sea, so he specially hired a luxury merchant ship.
Qin Jue nodded, and then ordered everyone to get on the boat.
The huge ship is more than fifty meters long, divided into two floors, more than 20 rooms, and soon after everyone got on the boat, they went back to their rooms to rest, leaving only Qin Jue and Qin Zulong sitting on the edge of the bed and fishing.
After a while, Qin Zulong said in a low voice: "It seems that we can't take it lightly when we go to the Divine City, I think if we go to explore this Ethereal Peak first, it is best to be able to blend in, be a disciple or something, and then use the power of the Ethereal Peak, and then go to help find someone?"
Qin Jue smiled softly: "I also have this intention, but I don't know how to get in this Ethereal Peak?" After landing on the shore, you instructed the guards to inquire about it, and ask Xuanwu's opinion, how did he plan to arrange this Tie Clan's mother and daughter?"
Qin Zulong nodded, sat for a while, didn't even catch a single shrimp, and left dejectedly.
Seeing this, the sailor on the side couldn't help but cover his mouth and smile: "I said this young master, this is the first time you have crossed the Tongtian River, right?"
Qin Jue glanced at him and nodded, "Yes, it's indeed the first time to go to the Divine City, what's wrong?"
"You don't know, this Tongtian River was originally called weak water, the so-called weak water, there is no flying hair, not a single inch of grass is born, only because the world changes a lot, this water can slightly cross the boat, but the river water is not fish and shrimp, you are fishing until next year can not catch a fish. The sailor explained.
"Really, how do you know, could it be that you went down to see it?" Qin Jue asked rhetorically, "Since the weak water has become a river through the sky, and it can be ferried, there are naturally living creatures in this water, maybe you can catch a real dragon later......" Qin Jue smiled casually, still sitting leisurely.
He didn't really want to fish, but just to pass the time. The life on the ship is too boring and boring, and now that the three lives are cultivating in the room with peace of mind, he is happy and relaxed, just come out and relax.
"Master, I don't think you really want to fish, but you're just bored in your heart, why don't you tell you about the recent new things that have happened in this divine city, and I can also relieve your boredom?"
Qin Jue nodded slightly, took out a large gold nugget from the ring, and gave it to him.
The sailor hurriedly thanked him, sat casually on the edge of Qin Jue and began to talk eloquently.
"The biggest prosperity of this god city is the once every ten years of the god domain star picking ceremony, the so-called star picking, take out the hand can pick the star meaning, at the time of the ceremony, nearly a thousand disciples of the four major sects will be teleported to the ancient battlefield with secret methods, that is the real life and death fight, can survive the people do not exist in ten, if you are fortunate to worship the general will be crowned god, it is the supreme glory and opportunity, the masters of the four major sects today are all worshipped, and there is only one year before the star picking ceremony, when the time comes, if you can rush to the holy area, you may have the opportunity to see it with your own eyesβ¦β¦β
"Why are only the disciples of the four major sects able to participate?" Qin Jue asked with a frown.
"At that time, it was natural, every time I opened the ancient battlefield, it would cost a lot of resources, and it would take dozens of elders from the four major sects to open it together, so if I wasn't a disciple of the four major sects, it would be impossible for me to have the opportunity to enter it. I've heard that the ancient battlefield is full of treasures, and someone once brought out a complete Dao weapon from it?
"I see, then which of these four major sects is the strongest?" Qin Jue continued to ask.
"Uh...... , I can't say this, the four major sects are not high, but the Jinwumen has many disciples and the largest territory, so it is said that the Jinwumen is the strongest sect, but some people say that the four major sects are originally equal, if it is a single background, it can be regarded as the strongest Ethereal Peak that dominates this area, but they are mostly hidden and not known to outsiders. β
"Ethereal Peak, then how can I enter this Ethereal Peak to cultivate?" Qin Jue asked curiously.
"Master, you want to enter the Ethereal Peak, but I heard that this Ethereal Peak is hidden in the Cloud Mountain, if you don't have the opportunity to take it, you can't even find it, and for so many years, I have never heard of any enrollment ceremony in the Ethereal Peak, in comparison, it is better to enter the Jinwumen......"
