Pain!

A sting that goes deep into the heart!

Soon, Meng Zhou had confirmed that he had not been harmed.

This sudden sharp pain is really a phantom pain.

Just because he had just entered the distant side, lurking in the Tai Sui body of the Gray Mist Mountains, he was unprepared to experience the taste of self-explosion from the first perspective.

Because this experience is too real, even if the consciousness has returned to the body, the pain is like a shadow, making him subconsciously have an immersive real experience.

However, Meng Zhou didn't have the heart to pay attention to these at the moment.

All his thoughts were focused on the only and last information he had captured after his thoughts were substituted for the body of Tai Sui on the distant side.

A man with a shawl and an indifferent expression stood in the void very casually, looking down at Tai Sui's body with an indifferent face.

With just a glance, the body of Tai Sui, who had the three-layer cultivation of the Jiedan, seemed to be imprisoned, and he couldn't move at all.

At the moment when Meng Zhou's thoughts were substituted into Tai Sui's body, the man was stretching out a hand, which just touched the forehead and eyebrows of Tai Sui's body.

He seems to be trying to forcibly search for souls.

But unfortunately, his outstretched finger was like a needle poking into a balloon that was almost inflated to the extreme.

Almost at the moment when the man put his hand on the eyebrows of Tai Sui's body, so strong that the unstoppable force wanted to go deeper-

BOOM!

It was like piercing a "balloon" composed of flesh and blood, and Tai Sui's body instantly exploded from the inside out, turning into a cloud of blood mist.

Although, it's only a matter of moments.

Meng Zhou only had time to see the indifferent man's appearance through the eyes of Tai Sui's body.

In an instant, Meng Zhou only felt a loud sound of "boom" in his heart.

"Lian Ziling ?!!!"

Meng Zhou is no stranger to this person.

To be more precise, "Yanzhuang" is not a stranger.

Meng Zhou got all the memories of Yan Zhuang, and what Yan Zhuang knew, naturally he knew.

What's more, after knowing that Yan Zhuang was just a puppet and that there was a very stealthy manipulator behind him, he consciously reviewed the monks of the Star Palace who Yan Zhuang had interacted with in his memory, or even only knew his people, but had never crossed paths, over and over again I don't know how many times.

For this "Lian Ziling", who is known as a genius among geniuses and one of the powerful contenders for the new Yuanying, Yan Zhuang is naturally no stranger.

It's just that all the memories of Yanzhuang are exhausted, and he has no personal relationship with this "Lian Ziling".

Even if there were occasional close encounters, they were all in public gatherings, and the exchanges were only very formulaic words.

All along, until the moment of Yan Zhuang's death, "Lian Ziling" was just a faint and symbolic figure in his heart.

The two sides have no deep friendship, and they have never had a personal relationship.

Yan Zhuang would never have imagined that his relationship with him would be so deep.

At this moment, the image of "Lian Ziling" solidified into a painting in Meng Zhou's heart.

……

Go back a little bit in time.

Sea of Stars.

Not long after the five sects joined forces and erased the four hidden forces that acted as the "eyes" of the Star Palace, in an instant.

In an island cave, a hurricane suddenly appeared.

When the sudden hurricane stopped, Lian Ziling's face was slightly flushed.

Regarding the movements of the Five Domains, that is, the so-called Giant Wild Wasteland of the Star Palace, there is no doubt that he is the one that he is most concerned about in the entire Star Palace.

It can even be said that he has put almost all his attention outside of cultivation here.

Previously, he used so many reasons to convince several other people that the real purpose was also for this.

Long before convincing the "Senior Brother" and the others, he had already used his authority to make strategic adjustments to the forces loyal to the Star Palace in the Giant Wilderness Wilderness, and quietly activated them who were originally mainly for hidden survival, so that he could have a comprehensive understanding of the current situation of the Giant Wilderness Wilderness (Five Domains).

Immediately afterwards, he successfully persuaded the "Senior Brother" and the others, and on the premise of ensuring that his cultivation that had just broken through the Yuanying level would not be greatly affected, he advanced the original date of the Star Palace's re-emergence by several years.

He thought he was quick enough to react and timely enough, but now—

Lian Ziling, whose face was flushed, sat there with a changing expression.

Confused, gloomy, hesitant, ruthless......

Because of the violent fluctuations in his thoughts, his cultivation, which had not yet been completely stabilized, showed signs of loosening again.

At least let the work of the previous months come to naught.

But he didn't have the heart to pay attention to these now, and the changes that happened in the giant wilderness one after another made his self-righteous and never wavering mind finally have doubts, hesitations and other emotions.

What annoyed him the most was that so far, he didn't know what it was that he was fighting against!

At this moment, two successive messages flew into the island from a distance, stopping in front of his cave.

Those were two summonses, one from the "senior brother" and the "second senior sister".

Their summons all told him one thing, that the Star Celestial Pool was now officially ready to be activated.

- Although there is a start-up plan provided by him, it takes time not only to turn it on, but also to officially activate it after it is turned on.

Considering that he, the "third junior brother", and the "fourth junior sister" who broke through to Yuanying later than him, have not broken through for a long time, what he needs most is to seize the time to precipitate and stabilize, and it is not appropriate to devote time to this kind of miscellaneous things.

Therefore, the "senior brother" and the "second senior sister" took the initiative to take over this work.

And this is also convenient for Lian Ziling to seize the time to stabilize his cultivation, and always be able to devote part of his attention to the dynamics of the Giant Wilderness Wilderness (Five Domains).

At this moment, after receiving the news that the Star Heavenly Pool could be officially activated, there was no joy in Lian Ziling's heart.

On the contrary, there is an indescribable anxiety.

"No, no, something has to be done, something has to be done!"

He felt an indescribable sense of passivity, if he went to the Star Heavenly Pond to "study" like this, the growing uneasiness in his heart would really suffocate him.

"At least I need to know what's going on, who my enemy really is!"

Thinking like this in his heart, Lian Ziling was ruthless, gritted his teeth, and made a decisive decision.

Thinking like this, he didn't immediately get up and go to the place where the Star Heavenly Pool was located, and continued to sit in the cave meditation room.

……

A few days later, two more messages urging him to hurry to the Heavenly Pond of the Stars entered the cave.

But when these two summons entered the cave, they did not fall, but "wandered" left and right in the cave.

Just because in the cave mansion, there are two Lianzi tombs.

One of them sat cross-legged on a stone couch in the ashram.

The face is pale, and the breath of the Yuan Infant level fluctuates up and down, fluctuating extremely violently, giving people a feeling that they are crumbling and may fall at any time.

On the other side of the cave, there is another Lian Zi Mausoleum.

The breath is steady, and the expression is indifferent.

Just standing there gives a strong sense of intimidation.

Lian Ziling, who was sitting on the stone couch, looked pale as paper, haggard and abnormal.

He trembled and stretched out his right hand, and there was an extra yellow paper talisman in his hand.

The trembling hand slapped the talisman on his body, and in an instant, all the abnormalities on his body disappeared and returned to his intact state.

It's not really a recovery, it's just a clever disguise, just to make yourself look normal in front of a few other people.

In the end, he looked at the other "Lian Ziling" with a complicated expression, and collided with another pair of indifferent eyes.

If he had a choice, he would not have been able to do so.

If there were no stars in Tianchi, this decision could be called "reckless", and it could even destroy his foundation from the roots.

Originally, the idea of leaping forward and soaring into the sky in a short period of time with the help of the Star Heavenly Pool has become a luxury.

His greatest hope now is to use the help of this star heavenly pool to restore the current broken foundation.

Thinking like this in his heart, Lian Ziling stretched out his hand and took the two "at a loss" messages in the air in his hand, then slowly stood up from the stone couch, and finally glanced at the indifferent "Lian Ziling", and left the cave without saying a word.

The other Lian Ziling stood in the cave, motionless, his expression still indifferent, not knowing what he was thinking.

After leaving the cave, Lian Ziling hurried all the way to the location of the Star Heavenly Pool.

When he met with the three "senior brothers", "second senior sisters", and "fourth senior sisters", maybe he did a good job of disguise, or maybe the three people who were anxious didn't pay attention to these at all.

Soon, as all four of them entered the Star Constellation Heavenly Pool, the legal ban was once again blocked, and the Star Heavenly Pool was completely hidden in the world of the Star Sea.

And almost at the same time, in the distant island cave, another Lian Ziling finally moved.

He stretched out his right index finger and gently swiped it from top to bottom, and the void in the real world was like a layer of skin, and his fingers cut a narrow crack.

Through this crack, the true realm of the Sea of Stars was exposed to him.

The real realm of the Sea of Stars is like a brilliant starry sky, with countless stars and shimmering lights.

But if you look closely, you can see that it is not a "starry sky".

The countless flickering ones were not "starlight", but runes that were seared into the real world one by one.

Together, these countless runes that spread across the true realm of the Sea of Stars formed a huge net, enveloping the entire Sea of Stars in this great net.

Lian Ziling's gaze moved back and forth on this vast net, looking at the spiritual light that seemed to swim irregularly at the knots of the net.

At some point, he suddenly disappeared from the cave and plunged into the real world through the narrow crack.

At the same time, he reached into the nearest knot and gently pulled to the left and right, and a passage for him to pass through appeared in front of him.

Lian Ziling's body was like electricity, flashing into this passage.

In the next moment, the passage that he had forcibly pulled apart with his skillful force was restored to its original state.

Inside the cave, the void rift that he had scratched with his finger was gone, and everything was back to normal.

No one would have known that there was a person who slipped out in advance before the Sea of Stars was unsealed, without alarming anyone.

Of course, if those new primordial babies hadn't entered the Star Heavenly Pool at this moment, things wouldn't have been so easy.

……

Lian Ziling's goal is very clear.

After leaving the Sea of Stars and entering the Giant Wilderness Domain, that is, the Five Domains, Lian Ziling went straight to the Jade Lake in the Qingxuan Domain.

This is the location of the "Yan family" bred in Yanzhuang back then, and it is the original source.

Without alarming anyone, he "visited" the current Jade Lake.

He didn't rush to use the ability to go back in time.

Although his strength far surpasses that of the Yudan, and it is far easier to use the time rewind than the Yudan, the consumption of his soul power and mental power is also huge.

Moreover, the Five Domains did not have a fourth-order spirit vein, and if his strength was consumed too much, it would be difficult to recover quickly except for some resources prepared with him.

Therefore, as long as there is another way, he will not use such abilities as time-rewinding, which consume a huge amount of money.

Not only that, but he also adheres to the principle of saving what he can save for other consumption.

Therefore, after hearing and seeing a basic and comprehensive understanding of the past and present of Jade Lake, he did not rashly use time rewind, and started to look for clues from the source one hundred and seventy or eighty years ago, although this is the simplest.

He has a clearer clue.

He remembered the date of Yanzhuang's fall very clearly.

And he could basically be sure that Yan Zhuang died in the Qingxuan Domain.

Then, he only used two medium-grade spirit stones, and he heard the information he wanted.

——The time Yan Zhuang died, the movement was not small, and the Qingxuan Sect Law Enforcement Hall was alarmed, and it spread throughout the Qingxuan Domain in a very short period of time.

Although no one knew who the two sides of the fighting method were, on this day, there was a late-stage fighting method of the Jiedan, and there was no doubt that there was a powerful, non-Qingxuanzong mysterious Jiedan's fall.

Although, Lian Ziling easily knew the news, and basically confirmed that the fallen "mysterious elixir" was Yan Zhuang.

It's very simple.

He immediately left Jade Lake and headed straight for the battle site in the Grey Mist Mountains.

As soon as I arrived, I had only roughly observed the specific situation around me, and I hadn't had time to use the time rewind ability to find clues.

His gaze suddenly became fierce.

Just because he felt that in the mountain not far away, there was an aura that merged with the surrounding mountains.

This breath is extremely obscure.

If it weren't for the slight abnormal fluctuation just now, even he would have ignored it.

The owner of the breath seemed to realize something, and quickly dived into the depths of the earth.

In an instant, Lian Ziling did not hesitate at all, and grabbed the mountain with a volley of palms.

With his grasp, the mountain was pinched and shattered in the air like tofu.

The breath that blends with the mountain is naturally forced out of it.

The figure of a monk with only three layers of cultivation came out.

Lian Ziling stood in the void and looked down condescendingly at the little mole ant that was pinched in his palm.

"What are you doing here?" He asked indifferently.

The third-layer monk of Jiedan looked resolute and stubborn, and did not say a word.

"Huh!" Lian Ziling smiled faintly, stretched out his finger, and pointed at the person's forehead and eyebrows.

Is it important to say or not to say an ant?

What's more, the other party's words can't win his trust at all.

He's going to see for himself.

But at the moment when he pointed his finger at the center of the other party's eyebrows, he wanted to probe into the other party's sea of knowledge.

"Bang!"

As if popping a bubble, the third-layer monk exploded into a cloud of blood mist in front of him without warning.

Lian Ziling's fingers froze there, his gaze fixed on the red fingertips, and his expression was gloomy. (End of chapter)
