The man who had just successfully crossed the catastrophe did not have much joy on his face in the face of the congratulations of the monks.

His current image is also very embarrassing.

The cloak is scattered, and the mixed aura is also very unstable.

Soon, the monks took their leave, and the island was quiet again.

A month later, two rays of light flew out of the cave where the man was retreating, and escaped from the island, submerging into the distant void.

It didn't take long for two figures to appear one after another, enter the peak in the center of the island, and disappear into a dense formation.

When they reappeared, the two were already in a cave.

And on the opposite side of the two of them, it was the owner of the cave here, the man who had just crossed the robbery and entered the realm of the Yuan Infant a month ago.

A month has passed, and the man's state is much better than the embarrassed appearance after the successful tribulation, but looking at his expression, it can also be seen that the damage caused by the thunder tribulation is far from being completely healed.

Just one month was not enough to erase all the traces left by that thunderstorm in his body.

Opposite the man, the two people who received his summons to enter the cave sat on both sides of the man's side, one on the left and one on the right.

The one to the left of it was a middle-aged and elderly monk dressed in a gray robe, who looked to be in his fifties and slightly wealthy.

The one on the right side of it is a female cultivator who is tall and long-legged, has a capable temperament, and looks like a female cultivator in her thirties.

The middle-aged and elderly monk looked at the man who couldn't hide his weakness between his eyebrows, and wondered: "Xiao Lian, why don't you meditate and practice at this time, why do you call us here?" ”

The man said: "Uncle Shi......"

The middle-aged and elderly monk hurriedly waved his hand and said:

"Don't, since you have also successfully survived the tribulation, you can't count the previous generations or anything.

I'm just two years ahead of you, you have to look up to me, just call me a senior brother. ”

The man paused, chuckled, and said, "Okay, senior brother." ”

The female cultivator smiled and said, "Senior Brother Lian, since you have recognized this new rule, then I will be a senior sister from now on, well, second senior sister." ”

As she spoke, she deliberately emphasized it, and then continued: "You are the third junior brother...... Come, call Senior Sister to listen. ”

Hearing this, the man shook his head, but at the insistence of the female cultivator, he still smiled bitterly and shouted "Senior Sister".

As for what kind of mood he was in, only he knew.

If everyone is on the same starting line, he is confident that after the "ban" on the Sea of Stars is lifted, he will be the first to break through the barrier and become a baby.

But because of several backlashes in succession, especially the one a few years ago, he had to spend too much time adjusting his state, so that the two in front of him crossed the line first and became the senior brother and the second senior sister, so that he could only be the third.

Soon, the "senior brother" was concerned about the man's physical state again, and he said:

"Senior brother, you have just broken through, the most important thing for you now is to meditate and recuperate, stabilize your cultivation, and if you have anything, you need to wait until your state is completely stable!"

The man nodded solemnly and said seriously: "Senior brother, don't worry, I know my state myself, and the reason why I am so anxious is indeed that there is indeed an important matter to discuss with you." ”

"What?" "Big brother" asked.

The man stared at the two of them, and said with a straight face: "The ban on closing the mountain, it's time to revoke it!" ”

Listening to the man's words, both of them looked stunned.

Then, the "senior brother" hadn't spoken yet, but the "second senior sister" next to him spoke first.

She said softly, "There's no need to be in such a hurry, right? ”

As she said this, she had obvious doubts on her face.

"Not necessary?" The man's gaze quietly sharpened a little, and said, "I think it is very necessary, and it has even reached the point of urgency!" ”

Coming into contact with the man's fierce gaze, the aura of the female cultivator who had just been upgraded from "junior sister" to "senior sister" instantly weakened a lot.

After a while, she reacted and said in her heart, what is my heart weak?

"Ahem", the "senior brother" next to him coughed lightly twice, pulled the man's gaze over, and then said, "Why do you say that?" ”

The man looked at each other and asked, "This time, how long has it been since we closed the mountain?" ”

"Senior Brother" said calmly: "One hundred and eighty-three years and eight months. ”

Almost without any thought, the "big brother" reported a zero and whole time.

From this detail, it can also be seen that this matter has the weight in his heart.

In fact, not only him, but any person who was a disciple of the Star Palace, they could quickly say this standard answer.

The man nodded and said softly, "Yes, it's been nearly two hundred years...... Does that senior brother know that since the beginning of the record, our Star Palace has experienced several mountain closures? ”

"Three times...... If you count this one, there are four in total. "Big brother" said.

The man nodded lightly and said:

"yes, counting this one, it's only four times in total.

What's more, although there have been three mountain closures before, the time of those three mountain closures is not as much as this time! ”

Speaking of this, the man shook his head lightly and sighed: "It's been too long, the time when our Star Palace has closed the mountain this time is really too long, so long that it is about to be completely forgotten." ”

His emotional exposure also infected the other two.

The nun couldn't help but say:

"They all say that something strange happened to our star sea, I didn't believe it before, but now that I think about it, it's probably true.

Otherwise, how could there be such an evil thing, in the previous 167 years, no one succeeded in breaking through, and all those who did not believe in evil had bled into a bloody stream.

But in the past few years, the breakers have appeared one after another, and now, there are already four people!

Could it really be that the sea of stars is evil?! ”

The man who single-handedly contributed to the matter of the female cultivator's suspicion that the sea of stars had fallen into evil did not react, but when he heard another message, his expression froze slightly.

He didn't hide it either, "Four? Someone broke through again? ”

"Senior Brother" nodded and said, "Senior Sister Lin of Xingyue Island was lucky enough to pass the test ten days ago, and her state is much worse than yours, according to my estimate, it will take at least a year or two to barely stabilize her cultivation." ”

Speaking of this, he took the initiative to pull the topic back and said:

"Senior brother is right, our mountain closure this time is indeed too long.

But since it's been over for so many years, it doesn't matter if it's sealed for another two or three years.

We have only just broken through, and stable cultivation is the most important thing. ”

Seeing the change in the man's expression, "Senior Brother" hurriedly said:

"I know, junior brother, you want to revive the prestige of our Star Palace as soon as possible, but I still say the same thing, since it has been sealed for so many years, what does it matter if it is sealed for another two or three years?

Now, the most important thing for us is to lay a solid foundation for cultivation.

…… We have paid such a big price to successfully get through this step, if we act in a hurry because our cultivation is unstable, it will eventually lead to the fall of the realm...... We really don't need to fight for two or three years. ”

The man's face barely remained calm, but looking at the thoughtful and stubborn "senior brother", he really had a violent urge in his heart.

Silverfish, I'm embarrassed to call myself a senior brother, I want to be safe in everything, and the Star Palace will be destroyed in your hands sooner or later!

It was easy for him to suppress the turmoil in his heart, and said calmly: "Senior brother, do you know anything about the situation of the Eight Desolations in the Outer Regions?" ”

"Senior Brother" nodded and said:

"Of course, since our manpower was evacuated, in order to compete for the ownership of those spiritual veins, the Eight Desolations of the Outer Regions have made a lot of noise.

It took twenty or thirty years for a short period of trouble, and it is said that it took nearly a hundred years for a long period of trouble to regain stability. ”

Hearing the "senior brother" reply like this, the man couldn't help but sneer in his heart, and couldn't help but want to spit on the other party directly and scold the silverfish.

Because of the reply of the "senior brother", it means that this old thing has really not paid the slightest attention to everything in the outside world in addition to his own cultivation over the years.

The "Big Brother" also seems to realize that this statement exposes the fact that he has not paid the necessary attention to the outside world for more than 100 years.

Coughing lightly, he made up for it:

"For the matter of the Eight Desolations in the Outer Lands, the junior disciple does not need to worry too much.

Those casual cultivators like to toss, so let them toss.

If there is no fourth-order spiritual vein, it is just tossed out and flowered, and after two or three years, we will completely free our hands, or will we be free at will? ”

The man said expressionlessly:

"Does that senior brother know that the Sect of Leaving Hate has completely revived in the Eight Desolations of the Outer Regions?!

According to what I have learned, nearly half of the Eight Desolations in the Outer Lands have fallen directly or indirectly under their control.

Receiving the worship of the Sect of Leaving Hatred, which has grown rapidly, the Golem of Leaving Hate has already completed its demonic revival and is reactivated.

His demonic thoughts can pass through the Heavenly Canopy of the Absolute Spirit without hindrance, and preach at will in the Eight Desolations.

With such convenience, the Hate Sect expanded rapidly like a tumor, and the second song began to accelerate its recovery, and it was not far from the second song to complete the demonic recovery. ”

At this moment, the "senior brother" and "second senior sister" all opened their mouths slightly and looked at the "third junior brother" in front of them in a daze.

The man continued, "In addition, in the Giant Wilderness Wilderness, there are five sect cultivators who have stolen five third-order spiritual veins and discovered the Seven Emotions Altar hidden deep in the third-order evil veins.

According to the exact information, they should know the utility of the Seven Emotions Demon Crystal in the Altar of Seven Feelings.

If they were given another two or three years, maybe some of them would have already cultivated into a demon baby with the help of the Seven Emotions Demon Crystal!

Although the Demon Infant has no future, and its lifespan is far less than that of the Yuan Infant Monk, before its fall, its combat effectiveness was not slightly worse than that of the Yuan Infant Monk! ”

Listening to the narration of the "third senior brother", the expressions of the "senior brother" and "second senior sister" have become extremely ugly.

The man's eyes were fixed on the "senior brother" and he didn't say a word.

can be seen from his expression, but it seems to be asking, "Senior brother, are you sure you have to wait for two or three years?" ”

"In the past two or three years, who will benefit more?"

"Senior Brother" didn't say a word, pursed his lips.

Gradually, his expression became ugly, and he looked at the "third junior brother" in front of him, his expression was unprecedentedly complicated.

Over the years, although he has focused almost all of his attention on his own cultivation, he has not paid much attention to the affairs of the outside world.

But he's not stupid, he knows what to not care about and what he has to care about.

If there was really something related to the foundation of the Star Palace, how could he not care about it!

He didn't shout any more junior disciples, and said directly: "Why are you only telling me such important information now?" ”

The man said: "I didn't notice such a change before, not long ago, some information uploaded by the Qiao family in the Giant Wilderness Wilderness was delivered to me, and I realized the seriousness of the problem.

After touching the melon, I found that the Sect of Hatred had grown to this point over the years. ”

"Senior Brother" obviously could not accept such an explanation, his expression became fierce, he stared at the man, and shouted:

"Lian Ziling, don't give me a sloppy eye, I just don't care about the affairs in the door, it's not really brainless!

Since the closure of the Star Palace, you have taken the initiative to communicate with the outside world.

All the information coming in from outside will be summarized by you.

Others may not be able to spot the problem in advance, but you can! ”

"You're still pretending to ask me?

All that information from the outside world was handed to me by you.

It's a shame that I trust you so much, but you play with me on this, and you do it for me!

All these years, have you been fooling me, all of us?

Lian Ziling, what are your intentions?! ”

In the face of the merciless rebuke of the "big brother", and even the questioning of his motives.

The expression of the man who was called Lian Ziling did not change in the slightest, and it was not until the pause of the "senior brother" that he explained with a slight shame on his face:

"Senior brother, you misunderstood me...... Maybe it's my previous actions that have caused you to misjudge my abilities.

However, the severity of the problem has only now been discovered, and it is indeed my fault. ”

Speaking of this, the man bent down to apologize to the "senior brother" with the anger on his face, and the "second senior sister" with a complicated expression.

"I know I've made a huge mistake in this matter.

However, this is the case, and we can only hurry up and solve the problem now. ”

"Senior Brother" said angrily:

"Solve the problem? You let me solve the problem?

Thinking of me now?

You're here to take the blame, aren't you? ”

“…… Putting aside the previous ones, you said that you only learned about this not long ago, so I will believe it.

But why don't you pass it on to us as soon as possible, and wait until now?! ”

Lian Ziling lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, without saying a word.

A supple posture of "I admit my mistakes and stand up when I am beaten".

Faced with the inquiry of the "senior brother", he said honestly:

"At that time, I was rushing to the critical time of Yuanying, and I wanted to tell you after breaking through Yuanying."

"Uh......" "Senior brother" was so blocked by such an honest answer that he had nothing to say.

Just think about it, if Lian Ziling told himself this at that time, he wouldn't want to break through safely.

So, Lian Ziling chose to press the news back for a period of time, and wait until he broke through Yuanying before confessing, is there a problem?

From the perspective of the sect, this is naturally an extremely selfish approach.

But from the perspective of a practitioner, everyone knows how to choose. (End of chapter)
