Celestial being

When Xu Che took a few steps closer, Zhou Lu saw clearly that the person coming was not the person he wanted to wait for, and he immediately became disappointed. He silently let go of his grip on the iron railing and sat back down again.

Seeing that he didn't recognize him, Xu Che subconsciously touched his face, his eyes flickering, wondering what he was thinking.

When Zhou Lu noticed that the visitor had not left and was still standing in front of his cell, he subconsciously raised his head and looked at Xu Che again.

"Are you..." he asked suspiciously.

"Haha, have I changed so much that you can't even recognize me, uncle?" Xu Che chuckled.

"You...you are Xu Che!" Zhou Lu shouted as if he was struck by lightning.

"It seems that my uncle has not forgotten his nephew, which is good. But if you think about it carefully, things are really unpredictable. When you put me in jail, you told me a lot in front of a cell like this. Now the situation has reversed. I don't know. Uncle, do you still remember what he said back then?"

As Xu Che said, he suddenly stretched out his hand and knocked on the iron fence in front of him. A crisp sound suddenly sounded in Zhou Lu's ears and shocked Zhou Lu's heart.

"... From now on, you have nothing to do with the Zhou family... But, Xu Che, blood is thicker than water. After all, I am your uncle, your mother's brother. I hugged you when you were a child. You can't just Watch me die like this! You have to save me! Xu Che, you have to save me!" Zhou Lu said, suddenly getting excited.

"Yes, I will save you, but before that, I need you to answer me a question - how did my mother die?" At the end of the sentence, Xu Che suddenly came to the iron fence and stared at Zhou Lu. Word by word.

"She, she... died of illness." Zhou Lu's lips trembled, and sweat rolled down his forehead.

"Really? I understand." Xu Che straightened up expressionlessly, turned and left without saying another word.

"No, Xu Che, please, help me, I am your uncle, your biological uncle, Xu Che, Xu Che!" Zhou Lu seemed to have noticed something and shouted desperately, but Xu Che Never looked back.

"Sorry to trouble you, fellow Taoist." After leaving the spiritual prison, Xu Che bowed his hand to the Changchun Guanjie Dan monk who brought him in.

"It's a trivial matter. Fellow Taoist Xu, you don't need to take it to heart. However, that Zhou Lu, does he need me as a fellow Taoist..." The middle-aged pill-forming monk said, making a sign of termination.

"No need, it's all in the past. I came here this time just to confirm an answer. Besides, when I was young, he did help our mother and son a lot. It was just for the sake of immortal fate that he became this It looks like, in short, it’s time to let it go.” Xu Che sighed, as if he was speaking to the middle-aged pill-forming monk, but also to himself.

And after he said these words, he felt as if he had finally broken free of the shackles and felt relieved.

Only by not being stuck in the past can we move towards the future.

Now he is free.

Xu Che sighed with emotion and was about to leave, but suddenly heard the sound of an argument not far away.

"Fellow Daoist Chu, I'm sorry. According to the rules, I can't let you in." A pill-forming monk wearing Ye Sect clothes refused stiffly.

"Why, I just came here to find a junior foundation builder, and you are not willing to be accommodating to me on such a trivial matter?" Chu Changkuang, a pill-forming monk from Huoyuan Sect, said angrily.

Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of Xu Che coming out of prison, and he became even more angry.

"Didn't it mean that no one can go in without Senior Yuanying's order? Why can he go in and out? Whose back door did he use?" Chu Changkuang pointed at Xu Che and asked bluntly.

However, before Xu Che could speak, the middle-aged Danjie monk next to him coughed and stood up first.

"This is fellow Daoist Xu Che from the Ming Yue Sect. He entered the spiritual prison with the consent of Master Liu of this Guan." He introduced.

"Mingyue Sect? Could it be... Well, Fellow Daoist Xu, I'm sorry, I was angry for a moment. Please don't take what I just said to heart." Chu Changkuang was stunned, quickly restrained his anger, raised his hands to Xu Che and said with a smile. .

"It doesn't matter." Xu Che waved his hand in a dazed manner and left without saying anything more.

After he left, Chu Changkuang wiped his sweat and was about to continue arguing, but the middle-aged alchemy monk from Changchun Temple spoke again.

"If I remember correctly, Fellow Daoist Chu is here to find Zhou Lu, right? It is said that he is the undercover agent you arranged to join the Wuyue Sect... Tsk, I have to remind you that this Fellow Daoist Xu is Zhou Lu's nephew. There seems to be some old grudges between people." The middle-aged pill-forming monk said calmly.

"This... I understand. Thank you fellow Taoist for reminding me that Zhou Lu, uh, is actually a liar, using my reputation to show off. I came here this time to clear up the relationship. Since it is not convenient to go in according to the rules, then that's okay. Let’s not go.” Chu Chang laughed wildly twice and immediately turned around and left.

The middle-aged pill-forming monk squinted at this scene. After a moment, he suddenly sent a message to the disciples on duty in the spiritual prison.

"Try some tricks on that man named Zhou Lu. Remember not to kill him. Record the process in the jade slip and send it to fellow Taoist Xu in my name." He ordered calmly.

Just when Xu Che went to see his uncle, Yuan Ming's retreat place also welcomed two "guests".

The door of the cave was opened from the outside, and King Kong came in with Zi Lei and Chi Xiao who had their magic power sealed.

"Master, I have brought Zi Lei and Chi Xiao." At Yuan Ming's retreat, King Kong bowed to Yuan Ming who was practicing cross-legged.

"Junior Zi Lei (Chi Xiao), I would like to pay my respects to Senior Yuan." Zi Lei and the other two quickly bowed down, their attitudes extremely humble.

Although they were Nascent Soul cultivators, they were now prisoners, and their lives and deaths depended solely on Yuan Ming's thoughts, so they couldn't help but be respectful and humble.

What's more, when King Kong brought them here, he didn't say anything to them. They knew nothing about Yuan Ming's purpose of coming to find him, and they felt very uneasy.

In their panic, Yuan Ming slowly opened his eyes, and his cold eyes swept over the two of them, making them tremble again.

"Why have you been gone so long?" Yuan Ming looked at King Kong.

"They couldn't beat me, but they escaped pretty fast, so they took a little longer and asked the master to punish them." King Kong said sheepishly.

"It doesn't matter, it's your credit for catching them back." Yuan Ming nodded and looked at Zi Lei and the other two.

"As the two ancestors of the Shuangxian Sect, you should be familiar with the disciples of the sect, right?"

"This... there are many disciples in the Shuangxian Sect, and we dare not say that we recognize them all, but at least..." Zi Lei said quickly.

"Katu, do you recognize this person?" Yuan Ming raised his head impatiently, interrupted him, and asked directly.

Hearing this name, Chi Xiao's eyes showed a blank look, while Zi Lei groaned, and after a while, he seemed unable to remember who this person was.

Yuan Ming's eyes became more and more impatient, and Zi Lei and the two, feeling the pressure, racked their brains to recall, and finally remembered something.

"Senior, I remember! Back then, there was a foundation-building steward named Catu in the sect. It is said that he climbed up from the outer sect. His talent was very outstanding and he became the leader of several sect competitions. At that time, I Still Jiedan, I once considered accepting him as a disciple, but then he disappeared while going shopping and never came back." Zi Lei said hurriedly.

"Then do you know his origins and origins?" Yuan Ming asked while thinking.

"It's Luota Town in the Western Region of Southern Xinjiang. I sent people to investigate back then. He is from a local farmer and has never left the town. His background is very clean." Zi Lei explained clearly.

"I understand, King Kong, send them to Tianjizi." After Yuan Ming got the information he wanted, he had no intention of keeping them anymore.

As soon as he finished speaking, King Kong took the initiative to step forward and blocked the eyes of Zi Lei and the other two.

"As ordered." He said in a sullen voice, turned around and grabbed Zi Lei and Chi Xiao out.

"No, Senior Yuan, give us another chance. We are willing to be your disciples, even if you impose a ban on us. Don't send us back, Tianjizi and the others will definitely kill us! Senior Yuan, Senior Yuan... ..." Zi Lei and Chi Xiao immediately panicked.

But no matter how they shouted, Yuan Ming had no intention of paying attention.

The two believers in the Nascent Soul stage were really exciting in the past, but Yuan Ming is too lazy to deal with these guys full of evil intentions now.

What's more, no matter what he wants to do now, Tianjizi or Yunhuang Alliance will never dare to say no. Even if some people are dissatisfied in their hearts, at least they will still do enough on the surface.

After King Kong left with Zi Lei and the others, Yuan Ming continued to practice.

After these days, his realm has generally stabilized. At the same time, thanks to the advanced witchcraft, his soul power has greatly improved, and he has made new breakthroughs in the sacrifice of the Tiantian Cauldron. Now, the number of restrictions he has unlocked has reached 30. There are so many layers, and the connection with the Tiantian Cauldron has deepened a lot.

Given time, he would be able to master this artifact again.

But before that, he probably has to go to the Luota Town that Zi Lei just mentioned.

If he doesn't understand the origin of the Tiantian Cauldron, he will feel uneasy after all.

Yuan Ming was just thinking about it when he suddenly felt something in his heart and cast a spell to open the door of the cave.

A moment later, Ulu appeared in front of him out of thin air.

"Hey, Brother Yuan knows I'm coming?" Wulu asked with a smile.

At this time, he had recovered from the injuries caused by the fight with the Blood Demon Ancestor, and his aura was much stronger than before.

"You have actively leaked a trace of your aura to the outside. If I still can't notice it, you are calling yourself a witch in vain." Yuan Ming smiled and emphasized the word "witch".

"Hiss - you guy, why did you break through again? We all entered the Biluo Cave together. After all, I set foot on the path to immortality before you. Why can't I catch up with you now?" Ulu took a breath. Angry, Dawei said depressedly.

"I have my own opportunities, and you're not bad either. With your current level of cultivation, you shouldn't be far away from breaking through and returning to the void, right?" Yuan Ming said with a smile.
