The glory of mankind has long been a passing thing. The glory of the past is gone.
Today, the dragon, phoenix, and unicorn clans are dominating and dominating! The dragon clan commander scales and armor dominate the continent's Zhongzhou, and their strong and domineering posture is unmatched. The Phoenix clan relied on the immortal volcano, and the Kunyu tribe under its command gathered, attacking and retreating. The Rui Beast Qilin dominates all beasts, and chooses the treasure land of Lingshan to live, and the momentum is monstrous.
Relatively speaking, the former overlord of the continent, the human race, gave up the richest location. It can only be in a corner of the world.
The Purple Heng Continent is vast and is divided into five states: eastern, southern, western, northern, and central. If a mortal wants to get out of a state, it will be difficult for him to live a lifetime.
Surrounded by the sea outside the five states, this sea is called the Sea of Storms by the creatures of the Purple Heng Continent. The Sea of Storms is endless, and according to ancient legend, the Sea of Storms is the place that leads to the legendary "Return to the Ruins". The reason why the Sea of Storms is named "Storm" is because the sea is constantly stirring up monstrous wind and waves, like a sea of storms. All kinds of creatures are reluctant to come closer. The merfolk have a soft spot for it, having lived in the Sea of Storms for generations and built a massive underwater city.
Since a period of annihilation tens of thousands of years ago, mankind has withdrawn from the stage of history, giving up the land of the four states and retreating to Dongzhou.
However, on the land of Dongzhou, the infighting of human beings has not stopped. The Eastern Tang Dynasty, the Southern Song Dynasty, the Western Han Dynasty, and the Northern Chu Dynasty each had one side of the four empires. Countless small nations were attached to the four empires. The beacon fire and the invasion of foreign races for many years have made the people of Dongzhou practice martial arts, and the folk customs are fierce.
Gregorian calendar of Ziheng Continent: 9900 years of the Holy Dao, the 8th day of March
Dongzhou, in the Sunset Mountains in the western part of the Eastern Tang Empire, a towering ancient tree has lush branches and leaves, and it looks like a canopy in the sky from a distance. The branches of the dragon are coiled in all directions, and the body of the tree is hugged by several people. Acquaintances can see at a glance that this is an old locust tree, and the strange thing is that there is no locust flower on this locust tree at the turn of spring and summer, which makes people wonder if this locust tree is too old to bloom anymore, but this old locust tree is verdant and leafy, and it looks thriving, and there is no sign of hollow decay at all.
The locust tree belongs to the wood of the five shades, and the wood of the five shades refers to pine, cypress, locust, elm, cypress, five kinds of trees. These five kinds of trees are all yin-loving, long-lived, extremely able to gather yin energy, create a yin land, and shade-loving insects and snakes tend to live. And the locust tree is the first of the five yin, which can be said to be the heaviest yin! After it grows up, the branches are flourishing, covering the sky and the sun. It is often the favorite abode of some ghosts.
Looking at the sky, the sun is shining and the white clouds are elegant. At this time, the season is at the turn of spring and summer, and the weather has begun to be hot, but there is a burst of shade under this locust tree. The sunset mountains are quiet, with the occasional chirping of summer insects and the "whoosh" of the breeze blowing through the leaves. A wide river flows more than ten feet in front of the locust tree.
"It's the third day~~, is it still in Ziheng here?" Li Yitian sighed helplessly in his heart, after that battle, I don't know how long it has been, but it has been three days since he woke up. Although Li Yitian did not die in that catastrophe, he was more uncomfortable than death! Because he turned into a tree! It was still an old locust tree! This made him unable to accept it for a while!
Whether his parents are still alive, whether his grandparents are still alive, whether his uncles and aunts are still alive, whether his brothers and sisters are still alive, all these questions make him unable to be quiet for a moment. The lovely man who promised to stay with him when he was newly married, and he grew old. The culprit who caused all this, the woman who held his hand at the last moment and didn't let him leave! Thinking about the past, Li Yitian couldn't wait to break her body into pieces at this moment!
Thinking that he didn't know when he would get revenge for exterminating his clan, Li Yitian angrily wanted to look up to the sky and howl, but now it was just a tree! All it could make was the sound of branches and leaves shaking. The low-hanging branches of the old locust tree shook violently, and the ground was a mess of volleys. The good grass was splattered with broken grass clippings, the soil wanted to be ploughed, and the ravines were uneven.
After Li Yitian became this old locust tree, he found that he could flexibly control the branches of this tree to move, just like his own arms before. His attacks have also been transformed into a 360-degree all-round mode with no dead ends. The attack power of these thick branches is very strong, much stronger than his previous Mortal Martial Eight Heavenly Realm, and the branches of the locust tree are innumerable, and the power of attacking together can be imagined.
"It seems that the legend is true, there are really monsters in this world, aren't I just a locust tree demon now?" Li Yitian thought indifferently. Demon is demon, what could be worse than the current situation.
The top priority is to think about your own demon life and the path of revenge.
At the thought of revenge, Li Yitian's mind suddenly fell silent. Since ancient times, the hatred of killing one's father and taking one's wife has been incompatible. The life and death of the 328 members of his clan are uncertain, and based on the situation before Li Yitian's death, I am afraid that it will be more auspicious than lucky. This revenge must be avenged!
The Li family, the Lin family, and the Yan family, these three families were originally the three major families of Jiuyu City, Xudu Mansion of the Eastern Tang Empire. The three families have been in charge of Jiuyu City for hundreds of years, although the Li family has always been slightly stronger than the other two, but on the whole, the three families are still between them, and no one can help anyone.
However, in the past 10 years, this balance is about to be broken, because the Li family has produced two geniuses that are rare to see in a century! Li Yichen, the eldest grandson of Li Batian, the head of the Li family, reached the Nine Heavens of Fanwu at the age of 22! And Li Batian's second grandson, Li Yitian (born of Li Batian's second son), also reached the Eight Heavens of Fanwu at the age of 21! You must know that Old Man Li is still at the age of 80 years old and is still stopping at the 10th Heaven of Fanwu, and if he wants to go further, he is afraid that he will be hopeless in this life. And Li Batian's eldest son Li Lundao and second son Li Lunyi are only in the realm of Fanwu 9 Chongtian until now.
In this way, the Li family suddenly has two more top masters. This made the strength of the Li family, which was already slightly stronger, leap beyond either the Lin family and the Yan family. Li Batian naturally knows the truth of the tree's big move, so he has been deliberately hiding his two precious grandsons. But as time goes by, the rumors will inevitably leak out.
When the Lin family and the Yan family learned the news, they were shocked, and finally hurriedly came to the door to congratulate them. After all, the three families have coexisted in Jiuyu City for hundreds of years, and the relationship is still quite harmonious on the surface. The three families have also resisted the invasion of other forces together, and it is also a relationship of lips and teeth.
In the end, the head of the Yan family thought of a clever trick to marry, Li Yichen had a marriage contract, and Li Yitian became the target of the Yan family, and the second son of the Li family and the eldest lady of the Yan family have been well-known childhood sweethearts since childhood, and a good relationship is inseparable. The old man Li Batian was very happy, although Li Yitian didn't say it, he was happy in his heart.
The eldest lady of the Yan family, named "Linglong". As its name suggests, it is exquisite, and it is known as the "first beauty" of Jiuyu City.
On the day of the wedding of a couple, every family in Jiuyu City was decorated with lights, and the festive atmosphere could be seen everywhere.
The important figures of the Li family gathered together and watched the wedding ceremony of Li Yitian and Yan Linglong happily.
At the end of the wedding, when a couple of newlyweds were visiting the church, a sudden change occurred.
"I have heard the name of the old man Li Cangsheng of the Li family for a long time, and I have just come from afar, can I enjoy a glass of wine. A high-pitched voice appeared at the wedding scene, and the whole audience could hear it clearly, and all eyes were instantly attracted by that figure. This figure looked at the backyard of the Li family, completely ignoring the existence of everyone. It seemed that there was only one place that caught his eye.
At this time, a strong aura rose in the backyard of the Li family, and an old man with white hair teleported to appear opposite the strange middle-aged man.
"The old man is Li Cangsheng, I don't know what your Excellency is about?" the old man with white hair said calmly.
"Old Ancestor~" The Li family saluted the old man under the leadership of Li Batian. Li Cangsheng is 160 years old, and his martial arts are even more unfathomable.
"It's really Li Cangsheng, didn't he die of old age decades ago?" a guest asked his companion in shock, and the scene was also noisy, and many people buzzed into discussions.
"Breaking the Martial Realm 5 Heavens, you are not my opponent, handing over the "Changchun Jue" will save you from death. The middle-aged man smiled proudly, with a relaxed expression on his face.
"Changchun Jue" is passed down from generation to generation, and the family rules are said, and they cannot be passed on unless they are the descendants of the Li family. Li Cangsheng calmly faced the middle-aged man. There was no fear of the threat at all, maybe after living so long, he had already seen through life and death.
"Hehe, I originally took a fancy to the delicate girl of the Yan family, and I wanted to take her to Qingteng Mountain to practice the immortal law, and the head of the Yan family told me that the Li family has the immortal method "Changchun Jue", if you are willing to dedicate it to me Qingteng Mountain, I will not treat you badly. If not, it would be easy to kill you and then take it yourself. The middle-aged man said, glancing at Yan Linglong, who was dressed in red, as if the hijab couldn't stop his gaze at all, and there was a trace of appreciation in his eyes.
The people of the Yan family and the Lin family in the courtyard saw that the matter had been broken, so they didn't hide it, and they took out the blades they had hidden before. For a while, the tension was tense, and the unrelated guests fled in panic, and no one stopped the Yan family and the Lin family.
"What a trick to kill people with a knife, Yan Hu, Lin Xiangliu, you can really do it!" Li Batian's angry beard trembled.
"Let me meet them!" Li Lunyi saw that his son's wedding was disrupted, and now he was blocked to snatch the ancestral secret book, and angrily rushed to the stranger's entourage.
Li Lunyi is also a top master in Jiuyu City, and he used ten percent of his skills in this move, and he quickly approached the person who looked like an entourage. This entourage came with the middle-aged man, and the martial arts must be extraordinary, otherwise they would not alarm the ancestors.
"Touch!" A hard touch was like a golden stone, Li Lunyi was shocked back at a faster speed, a mouthful of blood sprayed in the air, his face was instantly pale, and he obviously suffered serious internal injuries.
"Dad~" Li Yitian hurriedly supported Li Lunyi from behind, his face full of worry. Yan Linglong stood beside Li Yitian at a loss, wearing a red dress and a gorgeous hijab that looked so sarcastic.
Li Yitian didn't look at Yan Linglong again since he understood the ins and outs of the matter, and he didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional. But he decided that this matter was inseparable from Yan Linglong.
"I'm fine, don't worry about me, you be careful. Li Lunyi breathed two breaths of relief before he spoke, his body slowly stood up straight, and pushed away Li Yitian's hand, he was not hurt to that extent.
Li Lunyi's injury was like a fuse, and the melee immediately began.
