In ancient times, the way of cultivation was just beginning, at that time there was no such thing as becoming an immortal, and the exercises practiced by cultivators were just a way to strengthen their bodies, after all, the living environment in that era was very harsh, and human beings were just the existence at the bottom of the food chain. At the end of the ancient era, the cultivation method was perfected and summarized, and then the first batch of Xuanmen families were founded, including ten big families such as Huang, Jiang, and Ji.
Then the ancient era was ushered in, and the cultivation exercises began to be passed on, and then there were four great dynasties, and the cultivators in the cultivation world finally stopped living in a family mode, and began to have external exchanges, research, and discussions. This kind of thriving development was maintained until the Middle Ages, because of all kinds of accidents and natural disasters, coupled with the cultivators who were lost in the pleasure of power, the entire Tian Yuan Continent fell into a panic, and hundreds of powerhouses fell almost every day.
Then the end of the Middle Ages was the beginning of the Near Ages. The stable rule of the four great dynasties distinguishes between the cultivation world and the secular world, so there is the so-called immortal and mortal theory, but in this era, the so-called immortals are just some cultivators with strong cultivation, and the real kind of immortals who can destroy a sect or even a region with a single gesture no longer exists.
And because of the fall of a large number of strong people, in that era when the exercises were inherited or oralized, many exercises were lost, which is also the reason why there were no more terrifying strong people after ancient times. Of course, not all of this loss has disappeared, at least a small part of it has been handed down, such as "Styx Record", "Xinghe Sword Technique", "Tianlong Four Books" and so on, which are the exercises handed down from ancient times, and only those who practice these exercises will be called ancient cultivation.
And those who have obtained this kind of exercises, but are unwilling to take refuge in the Xuanmen family and the imperial dynasty, usually occupy a mountain range alone, and then build a home, emulating the ancients in ancient times, calling themselves caves, only communicating with a few friends, refusing all visits from outsiders, and individual casual cultivators will bite like mad dogs for outsiders who trespass into their own cave realms.
Qiansandao people are such a loose cultivator.
Not only was he like a mad dog, but there were less than five people who could count his friends as qualified to visit him. However, such a mad dog has been active for almost the entire ancient era, because his magic is so strong that ordinary cultivators who encounter him can basically only be dragged back by him as fertilizer, and it is precisely because of this strong strength that he dares to shout with the strong people like the Southern Emperor.
However, looking at the later Southern Emperor Xia Longyin's discovery of the "Zixia Decision" technique in this cave mansion, you can know what happened to the Qiansan Daoist later.
And it was precisely because there were detailed records about this cave in the Divine Soul Imprint left by Xia Longyin to Lu Li, so Lu Li was not too worried about this trip.
This corridor, which is not dark but not particularly bright, is not as bad as Lu Li imagined, but surprisingly clean: there is no dust or cobwebs left because it has been uninhabited for a long time, and there is no turbid air.
The reason why Lu Li knew that someone had already entered this cave was because he saw the mud marks on the ground, which stretched inward from the entrance of the corridor, and as far as Lu Li knew, there was only one entrance and exit to this cave. And the mud mark still looks very distinct, which proves that the people who enter this corridor will never exceed two days, and now that the entrance to the cave is completely blocked by the Eight Thousand Floating Slaughter Industry, it is easier for Lu Li to deduce that the people in the cave have not left yet.
Or even if they wanted to leave, they couldn't.
Without the slightest hesitation or pause, Lu Li got up and walked towards the end of the corridor.
Tamamo immediately followed quickly.
The pace of the two is not fast, but there is a trance-like feeling between the walks, as if every step will advance more than ten meters, and the most peculiar thing is that the two of them walk without the slightest sound.
It didn't take long for a bright light to come from the front of the corridor, and Lu Li and Tamamo stepped out of the corridor and stood in a cave that resembled a vestibule.
In fact, the entire cave mansion of the Qiansan Dao people is to hollow out the entire Jiuyao Mountain Range. And the layout of the cave mansion is no different from the layout of the big family mansion in the secular world today, this vestibule should have been planted with all kinds of spirit plants in the soul mark left by Xia Longyin to Lu Li, these spirit plants may not have any value in medicine, but they are beautiful enough.
It's a pity that after so many years, these spiritual plants have long since died, and now the entire vestibule is covered with weeds, how can there be as beautiful as before?
Moreover, the dome should have been inlaid with thirteen Sun Orbs that could emit the effect of sunlight, but now there are only three left, and the other ten were completely broken due to the confrontation between the two when Xia Longyin invaded here and started a fierce battle with the Qiansan Dao people. Looking at the many cobwebs cracks coming from the ground here in the vestibule, as well as the large number of charred black and broken stone walls, you can see how fierce the battle broke out at that time.
Lu Li didn't stay here for long, he checked it a little and made sure that there were no traps left here, he led Yuzao through a hall behind the vestibule, and then walked towards the library pavilion.
The entire cave mansion was built like a labyrinth by the Qiansan Daoists, and there were all kinds of prohibitions and traps in it. For those who are not familiar with the layout of this cave, it will take at least three days to explore the entire cave, and if you accidentally touch the prohibition or trap, although it may not be fatal, the tossing time will definitely be longer.
If an ordinary cultivator accidentally discovers a cave, he will definitely explore this cave and then take all the valuable things in it into his own pocket. After all, a cave like this has been handed down from ancient times, at least, and there will definitely be a lot of good things in it, and it depends on whether the cultivator's own eyesight can find these good things. Of course, in addition to ordinary magic weapons, weapons, talismans or other treasures and other good things, the most exciting thing is naturally the leftover exercise books, which are definitely more valuable than ordinary magic weapons and weapons for today's cultivation world.
It's just that Lu Li wouldn't be naïve enough to think that there would be these things in the cave mansion of the Thousand Scattered Daoists.
Let's take a look at the fragments recorded in the Divine Soul Imprint that Xia Longyin left to Lu Li.
With a wave of his hand, a large amount of elixir planted in the medicine garden by the Qiansan Dao people was taken away by Xia Longyin, and he didn't care whether it was mature or immature.
Weapons, magic weapons, Xia Longyin still did not have the slightest politeness, and took away all the things that were eye-catching, and those that were not eye-catching were directly dismantled, and if he could leave the magic weapon embryo, he would also take it, if he didn't have it, he wouldn't be distressed, anyway, the distressed person was definitely not him.
As for those high-value decorations, furniture, or spirit beasts raised by the Thousand Scattered Daoists, Xia Longyin directly burned all the Eight Thousand Floating Slaughter Industry into ash carbon.
And those collections in the library pavilion are the few things that Xia Longyin has not destroyed. He wanted to move them all, but how could the Qiansan Dao people agree, so the two sides started a big battle around the library pavilion, and the Qiansan Dao people who were forced to fight Xia Longyin head-on naturally couldn't get any benefits, and even their own lives couldn't save the library pavilion.
A large number of precious classics were burned, which was something that even Xia Longyin felt sorry for. Perhaps out of compensation in this regard, Xia Longyin did not take "Zixia Decision" in the end, but instead took the pen and recorded the "Son of Heaven" into a book and kept it, so that after someone who was destined to find this cave, he would not find nothing.
However, after Lu Li's arrival, this is destined to be a farce.
Because of Xia Longyin's divine soul mark, Lu Li didn't need to explore by himself, so his goal had already been clear before entering the cave, and at this moment, he was also running directly towards the location of the library pavilion. If someone who didn't know anything entered the Cave Mansion and wanted to explore the location of the Library Pavilion, it would take at least two days or so, and this was the advantage of Lu Li and the others.
Staring at the stone wall cave in front of him, where more than two-thirds of it had collapsed, and then looking at almost the entire stone wall with scorch marks, Lu Li felt an indescribable shock.
This is the true power of the Eight Thousand Floating Slaughter Industry!
And only one-third of the stone wall cave is intact, and the bookshelves made by the Qiansan Daoists have completely collapsed, there is hardly a single intact book here, and most of the books that were lucky not to be burned by the Eight Thousand Floating Slaughter Industry are only some fragments and fragments left, although this is also considered a practice, but if it is thrown into the current cultivation world, it can only be regarded as a Xuan-level exercise at most, not even a human level.
And at the collapsed end of this stone wall cave, there is a charred corpse, which can still be burned under the burning of the Eight Thousand Floating Slaughter Industry, which is enough to prove that the strength of this Thousand Scattered Daoist is by no means so unbearable, but it is a pity that he provoked the wrong opponent.
After a brief observation, Lu Li strode towards the intact third, in the deepest part of this area, there were two books stacked on top of each other and well preserved by a small ban, which had not become unbearable because of the passage of time.
According to Xia Longyin's record, Lu Li easily unlocked this prohibition, and then picked up this exercise.
The first book has no cover page, only dozens of white sheets of paper with ink on it, and this one is undoubtedly the "Son of Heaven" left by Xia Longyin. Lu Li stared at this exercise that he had successfully cultivated earlier, and after hesitating for a long time, he finally whispered, "I'm sorry, Master." ...... I still can't get the Four Books of the Heavenly Dragon to be passed on to others in this way. ”
With a shock to his wrist, the entire "Son of Heaven" was completely shattered into countless pieces.
