Chapter 690: Yue Yang Appears with Dead Branches

Chapter 685 – Yue Yang Appears Withered Branch

Although according to Xiao Hei’s memories and Red Nine Head’s dying conversation, he knew that the Demon Race should have successfully evacuated.

But after all, it was relayed by a few people, so it was inevitable that there would be some distortion.

Not as good as seeing is believing.

If the Demon Race, under the leadership of Emperor Yi, could really pass through the Southern Underworld Sacred Beast Mountain and crack the boundary to break through the sky.

Then it meant that the Heavenly Sword Sect, back then, had also once done this.

Perhaps the next thing to focus on in the Meteoric Immortal Realm was how to obtain the forging method for the Boundary Rifting Divine Soldier.

Being able to leave a way out for oneself notwithstanding.

This kind of secret art, whether it was the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance or the Five Elders’ Association, it must be of great interest.

The Leyang Prefecture was located in the southwest of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, not too far from the four central states.

There was a large lake within its borders, named Lake Yueyang.

The state was named after the lake.

It is rumored that every day at sunrise, one can see the magnificent sight of a red sun leaping out from the bottom of the lake. In that instant, the Sun Qi was far thicker than in other regions. Absorbing it and realizing it for a moment would be worth several days of hard cultivation.

As a result, a group of cultivators had gathered by the Yueyang Lake. And the lake is very rich, the fish in the lake every day by the rich influence of the sun’s qi, also become different from the norm. Meat is delicious, eat as if swallowing fire attribute spirit stone like, body warm sun.

Relying on this big lake, how many cultivators with mediocre qualifications can also advance very quickly.

Of course, this kind of good thing, naturally attracted the eyes of the world. In order to prevent outsiders from coming over to grab resources, Yueyang state cultivators spontaneously formed an alliance. The vast majority of Yueyang Lake’s area was taken for themselves.

Cultivators from the outside world who come here, want to obtain the resources in the lake, can only go to each other to compete for those who have been divided out, the quality of the area is inferior.

After more than ten days of work, Li Fan entered the Leyang State.

Instantly, he felt several gazes fall on him.

However, seeing that Li Fan did not fly in the direction of Lake Yueyang, he slowly withdrew his tracking eyes.

Without bothering with these people, Li Fan flew in the direction of Qihong Yu.

Qi Hong Yu was located at the edge of the Golden Fury River, a tributary that merged into Yue Yang Lake.

Whenever the sun rises on Lake Yueyang, when the sun’s qi is thumping, the Golden Fury River will also be sparkling and golden.

It was considered to be the afterglow of pure sun energy, but it was somehow tainted with a hint of Fury and could not be absorbed by the cultivators.

So very few cultivators would come here, and it was considered one of the quieter areas in Yueyang Prefecture.

The name of Ximen Yu was still quite loud in this area. Without much effort, Li Fan found his cave.

Outside, his yelling could be heard from afar, “How many times have I told you, if you want a complete ancient and modern topographical examination, come to Qihongyu to find me. Transmitting through the Heavenly Xuan Mirror will be blocked.”

“What? You don’t believe that the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance would have such a thing and that I’m lying to you? And you’re going to go expose me as a liar to others?”

“You fucking ……”

Waiting for Ximen Yu’s furious tirade to end, Li Fan said aloud, “But fellow Daoist Ximen Yu in person?”

“My name is Han Wuyou, I have come here to pay a visit after hearing about the virtuous name of fellow Daoist!”

“Come in.” Ximen Yu’s lazy voice came out.

The gate opened and Li Fan entered within the cave.

The place was not big and there was no decoration.

There were just jade slips thrown all over the place. There were even quite a few paper books as well as wooden slips.

Li Fan faintly swept through it and realized that it was actually filled with unrecognizable words.

“Did you come here for the Ancient and Modern Mountains and Rivers Examination?” Ximen Yu asked out of the corner of his mouth as he didn’t even lift his head and carefully stared at a dead branch that was elongating on the floor of the cave.

“Not bad.” Li Fan was also straightforward.

Ximen Yu casually pointed and a paper book flew out from the cluttered ground. “Ten thousand contribution degrees. Needs to be kept secret and cannot be resold.”

At the same time, a golden light, along with the book, flew in front of Li Fan.

Li Fan smiled and threw ten extreme spirit stones over while signing the contract.

For the time being, he put away the Ancient and Modern Mountain and River Examination without reading it in detail.

Li Fan was not in a hurry to leave, but instead asked with interest, “Why didn’t Fellow Daoist Ximen use a jade slip to record it? Instead, you use this paper book to record it?”

Ximen Yu’s movement of studying the withered branch paused as he skimmed over Li Fan and said indifferently, “The contents engraved in the jade slip can generally only be preserved for 10,000 years. If the aura is lost, this time is even shorter.”

“But with the ink of the Fury, written on paper made from the Evergreen Tree, it can last thirty to fifty thousand years without fading.”

“If it’s carved directly onto the Evergreen Tree, even after 100,000 years have passed, it will still be clearly visible.”

Li Fan smiled when he heard this, “Fellow Daoist thinking is really different from the norm. At every turn, ten thousand years are counted ……”

“Ten thousand years from now, whether the Xuan Huang Realm is there or not is still unknown.” Li Fan sighed and said.

Ximen Yu turned his head openly, his eyes heavy.

“Fellow Daoist what do you mean by this?”

Li Fan was a bit stunned, “It’s just a random sentiment. What’s wrong?”

“Hmph. Then, you can go.” After sizing up Li Fan again, Ximen Yu looked away and stopped speaking.

“See you later!” Li Fan arched his hand and was about to leave.

“Boom!”

He had just walked to the door of the cave, but suddenly felt the earth shake slightly.

A familiar yet unfamiliar energy appeared in Li Fan’s senses.

Li Fan could not help but look back, only to see a stream of earth-colored energy erupting from the withered branch in Ximen Yu’s observation.

Ximen Yu seemed to have waited for a long time and took out a white jade vial, inhaling the yellow jet as much as he could.

The eruption lasted for half a tea before slowly subsiding.

Ximen Yu looked at the harvest and revealed a pleased smile.

“This is the power of the earth vein?” Li Fan came forward and asked with some curiosity.

Ximen Yu’s face changed and he put away the jade bottle, stopping Li Fan’s eyes from staring at the withered branch.

“Fellow Daoist is somewhat insightful. Not bad, I have already finished studying the Ancient and Modern Terrain Examination, and now I am studying the Earth Veins related to it.”

“It’s a matter of personal privacy, it’s better for you, Taoist friend, not to pry into it.” Ximen said in an unkind tone.

A hint of apology appeared on Li Fan’s face, “It’s not that I intend to. It’s just that I feel that this withered branch of fellow Daoist is a bit familiar.”

“Hm?” Ximen Yu was slightly stunned, then his face changed slightly. “Fellow Daoist don’t make fun of me!”

“Under me, I have always refrained from telling lies.” Li Fan said with a straight face.

“Once upon a time, in the Heavenly Spirit State, I also once encountered such a withered branch in the wild. After touching it, it was a trance to an unknown space.”

“A large, broken tree, standing at the top of the sky. It made the heart feel desolate. I didn’t stay long before I woke up from the sight.”

“The withered branch in my hand had disappeared, just like a dream.”

Li Fan sighed slightly, “Fellow Daoist this withered branch, is somewhat similar to what I saw that day. However, it seems to be a little different ……”

The more Ximen Yu listened, the more astonished his face became.

When he heard it at last, he waved his hand to close the door of the cave and asked in a deep voice, “Where did you see that withered branch in the Heavenly Spirit State?”
