The existence of the Nine Domains requires powerful demon beasts, the strength of demon beasts is similar to the human realm, the demon beast level from low to high is from the 1st order to the 8th order, the 1st order demon beasts correspond to the human refining realm, and so on, the 5th order demon beasts correspond to the human Dan realm, and the 8th order demon beasts, there are few in the entire Nine Domains, which is quite the Great Emperor Realm among human beings, and rarely appears in front of humans.

Demon beasts are far superior to human cultivators in terms of physique, and a fifth-order demon beast can only be defeated if at least 5 powerhouses of the Huadan Realm of the same realm practice their hands.

It is said that there are demon beasts above the 7th rank in the deepest part of the mountain behind the Ancient Sword Gate, and the ancestral ancestral hall is in the deepest part of the back mountain.

Along the way, you can see the corpses of many demon beasts, from the 1st order to the 6th order of the corpses of the demon beasts, all of them are defeated in one move, and they can directly kill the 6th order demon beasts in seconds, at least they must be strong people at the peak of the Holy Martial Realm.

The demon beasts that can control the aura of heaven and earth will condense demon crystals in their bodies, and the demon crystals contain majestic aura and are very valuable, and these killed demon beasts have all taken away the demon crystals.

Because the demon beasts along the way were all cleaned up by those powerhouses of the Ancient Sword Sect, Li Xiuyun and the others hurried a lot faster, and in about half an hour, they came to the deepest part of the back mountain.

The deepest part of the mountain behind the ancient sword gate, there is no one all the year round, the tall trees and vines grow intricately, such as the dragon hibernating, there are new footprints on the ground, it seems that someone has been here not long ago.

"Walk another 100 meters inside to the ancestral ancestral hall, I can't go any further with my identity, don't pass here. ”

After the elder who led the way left a word, he turned around and left here, and before leaving, he bowed deeply to Li Xiuyun again, if it weren't for him, his life might be wasted.

According to the elder, there is an extremely powerful enchantment on the periphery of the ancestral hall, and neither humans nor demon beasts can get close to the ancestral hall, and only a direct lineage can enter the enchantment.

Feng Lin took a few steps, and was pushed away by an invisible powerful force, she couldn't help frowning slightly, there seemed to be an invisible enchantment in front of her, so that she could not advance a single inch.

She is not directly related, and is ostracized by the barrier on the periphery of the ancestral hall, and cannot enter.

"There's an enchantment ahead, and you're behind me. ”

Li Xiuyun turned around and said to Feng Lin, he stepped forward, and soon there was a powerful invisible force in front of him, he raised his hand, and the enchantment sensed the power of the blood veins in his body, and disappeared in an instant.

"Let's go. Li Xiuyun walked forward without looking back.

Feng Lin followed closely behind Li Xiuyun and entered the enchantment, and as soon as the two of them entered it, the enchantment opened again, completely isolating the outside world.

Not long after walking, a man in black sprang out from behind the tree, blocking the way of the two.

"What person?" asked the man in black with a pair of keen eyes, staring at the two of them, he didn't feel any breath on his body, and it was very well hidden.

In the middle of the Holy Martial Realm, Li Xiuyun saw through the realm of the man in black at a glance, he had never seen this man in black, if he guessed correctly, this man in black should be a person from the dark department.

The Second Elder had mentioned to him that it was not the head of the Ancient Sword Sect who was really in charge, but the old guys in the direct line, and the dark department was a mysterious organization that specialized in obeying the orders of the direct lineage.

"Let them come. ”

A heavy voice came from not far away, and the man in black nodded, directly making way for Li Xiuyun and Feng Lin.

There is a hole in front of it, and the vines around the cave are like dragons and dragons, and the sound comes from the hole.

On both sides of the entrance of the cave, there were two black-clothed men standing like statues, both of them were strong men of the Holy Martial Realm, both of them were strong men who had never shown their faces in the Ancient Sword Gate, and any one of them who came out was the most noble inner elder of the Ancient Sword Gate.

Inside the entrance of the cave is the ancestral hall of the ancestors, which is opened once every twenty years, and there is an extremely powerful barrier set up around it, except for the direct lineage, outsiders cannot enter it at all.

Standing in front of the entrance of the cave, Feng Lin's expression became a little strange, and she felt that a voice inside seemed to be calling her, guiding her here.

Li Xiuyun looked at the entrance of the ancestral hall, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, there was an extremely powerful barrier at the entrance of the cave, which he laid back then, he put his hand on the barrier, and the barrier was directly unraveled.

"Let's go. ”

Li Xiuyun shouted to Feng Lin, who was a little distracted behind him, Feng Lin came back to his senses, and Lianbu followed with a light tap.

The two of them walked into the ancestral hall one after the other, and the space inside was huge, and the dilapidated walls around them were carved with crooked black runes, exuding a desolate atmosphere.

There is a tall mourning hall in front, and the mourning hall is like a staircase with nearly hundreds of spirit cards, which are engraved with the name of the head of the ancient sword sect, and only the head of the ancient sword sect who has made great contributions to the ancient sword sect or who has benefited future generations after ascending is qualified to be placed on the mourning hall.

Among these spirit cards, the most eye-catching is the only spirit card placed on the highest floor of the spirit hall, which is engraved with the name of the head of the ancient sword sect who has contributed the most.

The founder of the ancient sword gate, the big boss Li Yunxiao!

At this time, dozens of people stood in front of this mourning hall, taking turns to come forward to worship their ancestors, among these people, Li Xiuyun saw the current head Li Yiying, and Li Junmo, they stood behind everyone.

According to the rules of the ancient sword gate, when worshipping the ancestors, the higher the seniority, the more front they stand, and the seniority of the head Li Yiying can only be ranked in the back in front of these people.

Standing at the forefront was an old and strong, radiant white-haired old man, with a goat's beard and white eyebrows, and there was no trace of old age at all.

At this time, it was the turn of Li Yiying and Li Junmo's father and son to come forward to worship their ancestors, Li Yiying stepped forward and knelt in front of the mourning hall, Li Junmo knelt down after him, lit three incense sticks, kowtowed three heads, and read in his mouth: "I hope that the ancestors will bless the ancient sword gate with eternal prosperity." ”

The elders of the direct line of the Ancient Sword Sect all had serious expressions, and their mouths kept praying.

Li Yiying and Li Junmo finished worshipping their ancestors, stood up, and returned to the rear of the elders.

"Since you are here, then come and bow down to the ancestors. ”

The thick voice sounded again, and it was the white-haired old man who spoke, he was the oldest elder in the Ancient Sword Sect today, Li Gushui.

"Patriarch can't, how can outsiders worship the ancestors of the Ancient Sword Sect!"

"It is already a taboo to let them enter the ancestral ancestral hall, and they can no longer be allowed to worship the ancestors. ”

"The origin of these two people is unknown, let's expel them from the Ancient Sword Gate. ”

“

Those clan elders of the Ancient Sword Sect persuaded the white-haired old man one after another, and the eyes of the clan elders were full of disgust and rejection for Li Xiuyun and Feng Lin, as a direct lineage of the Ancient Sword Sect, they were naturally extremely xenophobic.

Yiying, although you are now the head of the Ancient Sword Sect, neither I nor the clan elders will agree to the matter of replacing the young master. ”

One of the clan elders turned around and said to Li Yiying that he and many clan elders were unanimously opposed to the decision Li Yiying had made.

"I have my own plans to replace the young master, and I ask you clan elders not to interfere in it. ”

Li Yiying replied in a deep voice, during his retreat, everything Li Xiuyun did in the Ancient Sword Gate was supervised by the Dark Department, which further verified his and Elder Taishang's opinion, Li Xiuyun may be the key to saving the Ancient Sword Gate.

In his opinion, these clan elders in the direct line are too conservative, they just want to stabilize their position, and they have always ignored the Gu Jian Sect, and in this regard, as the head of the clan, he knows more than these clan elders.

Elder Taishang has protected the ancient sword gate for thousands of years, but he can't enter the ancestral hall, and Elder Taishang is as kind to him as a mountain, he believes that Elder Taishang will never look at the wrong person.

What did the clan elders still want to say, the white-haired old man had a solemn face and said in a deep voice: "Quiet, the worship of the ancestors is not over yet." ”

As soon as the white-haired old man spoke, the clan elders fell silent, he looked at Li Xiuyun and Feng Lin again, and shouted in a commanding tone towards the spiritual hall: "Come here, kneel!"

He was referring to Feng Lin, not Li Xiuyun, now Feng Lin is the nominal young master of the Gu Jian Sect, so it is necessary for her to come over to worship the ancestors, and this time it is Li Gushui's meaning to make an exception.

As for Li Xiuyun, his deeds are in the eyes of the elders of the direct family, although he has the head token, but his origin is unknown, and he is not a direct lineage, so he is not qualified to bow down to the ancestors of the ancient sword sect at all.

The corners of Feng Lin's mouth were slightly raised, and he looked at the elders of the Ancient Sword Sect with arrogance, full of disdain, and said in a cold voice:

"If you want me to kneel, these wooden cards are not worthy!"

"What!"

As soon as Feng Lin's words fell, the clan elders suddenly erupted with terrifying coercion, like continuous waves of horror rushing towards Feng Lin, wanting to completely annihilate her.

"Who dares to move?"

In the depths of the ancestral hall, there was a deep shout, the voice seemed to sound from Feng Lin's ears, she couldn't tell the difference between men and women, and the terrifying pressure around her rushed towards her, at this moment, her body suddenly burst out with the amazing power of the Holy Phoenix!

Feng Lin's whole body ignited a scorching fire, turning into a burning Nirvana Phoenix, she slowly opened her eyes, her eyes seemed to have changed person, without any emotion, the power of the Holy Phoenix in her body exploded instantly, shaking away all the coercion.

"This qualification is too weak. ”

She muttered to herself, releasing the power of the Holy Phoenix in her body, all the coercion was vast in front of this force, and the clan elders stared at Feng Lin in horror, under the power of the Holy Phoenix, they couldn't help but kneel down.

They couldn't imagine how powerful this power on Feng Lin's body was, as if just a little bit of breath could shock them to death on the spot!

Among the people present, except for Li Xiuyun, everyone was shocked by the coercion and knelt on the ground, trembling like ants.

Feng Lin turned her head and saw that Li Xiuyun did not kneel, her eyebrows frowned slightly, and soon, the corners of her mouth smiled knowingly, and said, "I see, you brought this girl here." ”

She looked at Li Xiuyun and said lightly: "Reincarnation Dao Master, I didn't expect to meet you here." ”

Li Xiuyun and Feng Lin glanced at each other and said, "Lord Huang, give her a chance." ”

The corners of the Phoenix Lord's mouth raised slightly, and he replied: "I didn't expect that there would be a descendant of this seat in this star field, since it is the intention of the reincarnation Dao Master, then this seat will give her this opportunity." ”

After that, the two entered an independent space, and the Phoenix Lord slowly raised his slender hand, cut his fingers, and dripped a drop of essence blood, bright red as a blood diamond, emitting a thousand feet of glow, lighting up the entire vast and boundless space.

This drop of essence blood contains an incomparably mysterious infinite law, which contains a trace of the Dao power of the Phoenix Lord.

The Phoenix Lord, who is also the Dao Lord, met the reincarnation Dao Lord, back then, he left a trace of divine consciousness sealed in the ancestral ancestral hall, waiting for his heirs, and now he met Feng Lin and woke up again.
