Celestial being

Hearing this, Gu Zhiping opened his mouth, but before he could speak, a figure beside the two of them fell from the sky, and the light disappeared, revealing the figure of Di Tao.

"What do you want from me?"

The whole process of Di Tao's appearance was silent, like a ghost.

In fact, Zhenluo Cave Mansion has already been secretly monitored by its people. As long as Yuan Ming moves even slightly, someone will immediately report his whereabouts to him. Since Yuan Ming appeared hundreds of feet away from the punishment hall, he has already used Divine consciousness locked onto Yuan Ming.

"Uncle Di, I would like to ask if the ancestors are free now. Regarding the old man in gray, the disciple has important information and must tell it in person." Yuan Ming did not care about why Di Tao appeared so quickly and immediately spoke quickly. said.

As soon as he said this, Gu Zhiping's eyes widened and he looked at Yuan Ming with a somewhat complicated look. You must know that in the past, even if the peak masters wanted to meet the two Yuan Ying-stage ancestors, they could not just do so. We can see them, let alone these disciples in the foundation building stage.

Now, Yuan Ming opened his mouth to pay homage to his ancestor, and he said so confidently.

Di Tao's expression also changed. He looked at Yuan Ming carefully for a moment and then nodded.

Soon, under his leadership, Yuan Ming walked alone into the Grandmaster's Hall at the main peak of the Chaotian Sect, and met the Yuan Ying ancestor of the Chaotian Sect face to face for the first time.

In the center of the spacious and solemn hall, on a high platform surrounded by two pairs of golden flags on the left and right, an old man wearing plain robes with white beard and hair was sitting cross-legged.

At this moment, the old man was facing the gate with his eyes closed and regulating his breath. He formed the Ziwu Jue with his hands in front of him and leaned a whisk casually on one shoulder. He looked no different from an ordinary old Taoist priest in a secular Taoist temple.

"Ancestor, Zhen Luo brought it here." Di Tao saluted the old man and said.

"Disciple Zhen Luo, pay homage to our ancestor." Yuan Ming said respectfully.

"Although my junior brother is not smart, there is no doubt about his talent. He is cautious and his methods are very cruel. You said that you accidentally bumped into him and he was still alive to draw the portrait. Could it be that he has changed his temper?" The old man in Taoist robes turned around and glanced at Yuan Ming with a half-smile.

"Could it be that the junior brother mentioned by the ancestor is..." Yuan Ming pretended not to know and was slightly startled.

"Haha, yes, he is the old man who had a secret conversation with your master." The old man in Taoist robes nodded.

"I don't dare to deceive the ancestor. The disciple does have some unusual methods, but no matter what happens to the disciple, his desire to protect the sect remains unchanged." Yuan Ming replied immediately.

The old man in Taoist robes said nothing and stared at Yuan Ming for a long time before slowly nodding.

"Yes, if all the disciples of this sect are like you, I can rest assured that I will close my eyes on life and death, and I won't have to show up for these trivial matters anymore."

Yuan Ming was slightly surprised to find that the attitude of the Taoist Patriarch seemed a little different from what he thought.

"I heard from Ditao, what did you find out about my useless junior brother?" Before Yuan Ming could think clearly, the old man in Taoist robes asked again.

Hearing this, Yuan Ming immediately nodded and told some of the inadvertently revealed "performances" and his guesses about Shen Lingyun's daily life that he had already prepared.

Naturally, most of these "performances" are related to soul cultivation. After all, I am most familiar with soul cultivation. It doesn't matter whether Shen Lingyun has actually done it, as long as the ancestor can judge Shen Lingyun's soul cultivation identity from it.

Now he is just a foundation builder. When facing Nascent Soul, instead of trying every possible means to make up lies, he might as well confess the truth, which would make him more credible.

"...a strange insect that brings people back to life? A soul cultivator who uses this thing as a form-refining object? Could it be that..." The old man in Taoist robes suddenly frowned.

"The disciples were still doubtful before. I don't know why so many traitors appeared in the sect. At first, they thought they were disguised like Tao Wenlong, but now that I think about it, they may be controlled by the soul cultivator hidden behind them. This is why he became the enemy of the sect." Yuan Ming added.

The old man in Taoist robes nodded thoughtfully, but said no more.

"By the way, Ancestor, I found this book of exercises from Shen Lingyun Cave not long ago. I didn't dare to read more at that time. I just burned a small part and asked Ancestor to review it." Seeing this, Yuan Ming stood up and Turning his hand over, there was a jade slip in his palm.

The old man in Taoist robes made a move with one hand, and the jade slip fell on his mind and his expression suddenly changed.

"Ditao, please go out first." The old man said to Ditao, who was also waiting below.

Di Tao was slightly startled, but he did not dare to disobey his ancestor. He glanced at Yuan Ming, said goodbye and left.

The old man did not look at Yuan Ming again, nor did he say anything. He just moved his lips slightly, but made no sound, as if he was transmitting a message to someone.

Yuan Ming also said nothing more, just lowered his head, looked at his nose, his nose and his heart, and waited respectfully.

The content in the jade slip is actually taken from the beginning of "Huan Xin Jue". Although it is incomplete, it can be seen that this is actually a pretty good soul cultivation technique.

Anyway, my goal is just to complete Master Shura's mission. As for some things, there is no need to be too serious.

After half a stick of incense, a girl in red walked into the hall. She was the other Nascent Soul Patriarch of the Chaotian Sect.

She looked at Yuan Ming with some curiosity, and then said to the old man in Taoist robes carelessly: "Hey, Senior Brother Lu, you really guessed it right. Their souls have indeed been tampered with, but they found it a little late. I’m afraid our methods can’t solve it.”

"It's a pity. There's no need to keep it. You can go and deal with it." The old man in Taoist robe nodded, his tone as calm as strangling an insect.

Hearing this, the girl in red didn't seem surprised. She nodded and left. At the same time, the old man in Taoist robes also looked at Yuan Ming. Seeing his surprised face, he said slowly:

"Do you think my methods are too cruel?"

"The disciples dare not... It's just the Patriarch. Uncle Shao and the others have contributed a lot to the sect in the past. Now that they have figured out that betrayal was not their original intention, why can't they be imprisoned on the main peak and slowly find a solution?" Yuan Ming considered Words, asked carefully.

"Because they are not just being controlled by others, I am just helping them to escape. Your guess just now is right. There is indeed such a soul cultivator with a high level of cultivation. His soul refining is based on 'Soul Devouring' "Zhi" is the prototype. He became famous five hundred years ago. He once caused all the major sects in the Central Plains to join forces to encircle and suppress him. In the end, he was lucky enough to escape with his life. I didn't expect that today, he would find our Chaotian Sect again. It seems that overseas spiritual treasures are The news was eventually leaked by my stupid junior brother." The old man in Taoist robes sighed and said.

"Who is the person the Patriarch mentioned?" Yuan Ming asked curiously.

"His real name is unknown. We only know that he claims to be the Master of Six Desires. His cultivation has reached the middle stage of Yuanying. He has an endless array of tricks. The most bizarre one is undoubtedly the 'soul transfer' move." The old man in Taoist robes had memories in his eyes. color, said.

"Soul-eating...soul-eating leech..." Yuan Ming frowned upon hearing this.

"He will split his soul into several leeches as long as little fingers, and after burying them into other people's consciousness, he can not only continuously absorb that person's soul power, but also secretly change his mind, making him become the slave of six desires. The most important thing is that every divine soul leech can be transformed into the main soul by him. In the past sieges, he has used this trick many times to escape from the dragnet we set." The old man in Taoist robe recalled that year. The scene showed a trace of fear on his face.

"With such a weird ability, wouldn't it mean that he will never die?" Yuan Ming was surprised and blurted out.

"Haha, there is no immortal person in this world. Even the ancient realm of returning to the virtual world cannot survive the longevity, let alone his mere Nascent Soul. No matter how many divine soul leeches are separated, the longevity is reached. , he will not escape death after all." The old man in Taoist robes smiled bitterly and continued:

"Moreover, the divine soul leech is connected to its main soul. Not to mention that the number itself is limited. Once buried in the soul of another person, it cannot be separated again. And once the host dies, the divine soul leech will also be buried with him, and his own cultivation will also be destroyed. It’s been affected to a certain extent.”

"In addition, during the siege, we also discovered that it takes at least ten years for the divine soul leech to regain its main soul cultivation. During this period, as long as one divine soul leech is mastered in advance, the location of other leeches can also be locked through secret methods. "

"It's just that the use of the secret method requires the consumption of soul leeches, and once it is used, it will be noticed, so the efficiency of the roundup is very low, and in the end it can only be left alone." The old man in Taoist robes said with a pity.

As soon as he finished speaking, the girl in red left and returned, but this time, her expression was much more serious. After taking a look at Yuan Ming, she said:

"Senior Brother Lu, we found the traitor's location."

Hearing this, the old man in Taoist robes was silent for a moment, his face becoming more compassionate, and then he sighed quietly:

"...Sigh, after so many years, I didn't expect that Junior Brother would still be so stubborn. Anyway, it's time for me to put an end to the mistakes I made back then."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Ming suddenly heard a harsh sound of breaking porcelain in the hall.

He looked up in surprise and saw that although he was still in the Patriarch's Hall, the layout of the entire hall had changed a lot.

But the old man in Taoist robes and the girl in red suddenly disappeared, replaced by one old man, two young men, and three unfamiliar-looking Chaotian Sect monks.

They were said to be unfamiliar, but after Yuan Ming observed carefully for a moment, he discovered that the facial features of the two young monks were vaguely similar to those of the old man in Taoist robes and the junior brother.

"Traitor! Do you know what you have done! Three cities and nearly 100,000 lives, are they worthless in your eyes?"

The old man with a long beard roared and slapped the long table beside him so hard that the tea cups on the table fell off.
