Chapter 177

"Ancient Wumen..."

Lan Shen was surprised and said, "The sect master is indeed knowledgeable. After hearing what the sect master said, I remembered that according to ancient rumors, this method of condensing the five elements of energy to return to chaos is indeed the means of the ancient Wumen. It's just that the time is too long ago, and the underworld has not been established. I was not born at that time, and I just heard rumors. However, since Emperor Xuanyuan killed Chi You, the immortal way has risen, and the Wumen has been extinct. How come it still appears now? This is unacceptable to the immortal way!"

"Oh!? There is such a saying? Even Chi You is a member of the Wumen?" Zhou Qing was surprised and puzzled: "The old ghost Yun Zhongzi only upgraded a little, and with what Shushan Xiang Hui said about the superpower group, I know that those with superpowers are the descendants of the ancient Wumen. Listening to Lan Shen, the Wumen is really not simple?"

Zhou Qing secretly calculated, watching the Fairy Yunxia and Fairy Neon chatting happily there, and did not disturb them, just wanted to ask Lan Shen about some ancient situations.

In Yun Zhongzi's records, there is everything about ancient magic weapons, materials and elixirs, but some people and things are extremely vague, especially the rise of the immortal way and the demise of the witch clan. Zhou Qing's current cultivation level is involved in the creation of heaven and man, and he feels that there are some things worth discussing in this matter.

"The ancient witch clan is born with magical powers. They don't need any cultivation to be as powerful as any cultivator. They guard the six reincarnations together with the ancient demon clan. In fact, I don't know it very clearly. It's just that I have worked in the underworld for so many years and there are always some gossips. Several ancient great witches, whose strength and magical powers span the world, are probably comparable to the Three Pure Ones." Lan Shen frowned, as if trying to recall.

"Strength is comparable to that of the Three Pure Ones!? Are you kidding? Are the ancient witches born that powerful?" Zhou Qing didn't believe it and was very surprised.

"I also heard rumors, but I don't know the details. The master has heard of Gonggong and Zhurong, right? They are the two great witches of the Wu Sect. Houyi, Kuafu, Chiyou, and Xingtian are all from the Wu Sect. Later, for some unknown reason, Gonggong and Zhurong fought in Buzhou Mountain and both were injured. The Wu Sect declined. In the end, Guangchengzi, the Golden Immortal of the Chan Sect, helped his disciple Xuanyuan to kill Chiyou, the leader of the Wu Sect at that time, in Zhulu. The Wu Sect was extinct and the immortal way rose. This is all I know about the Wu Sect."

Lan Shen told Zhou Qing all the rumors he knew, but he didn't know whether they were true or false.

After hearing what Lan Shen said, Zhou Qing understood something: "These are ancient things that happened a long time ago. It is impossible to verify them. We don't know whether they are true or false. Now is not the time to talk about these things. The five scattered people just now were obviously controlled by the witch gate. Hum! They actually wanted to attack me. They ran fast. But I already know their lair. We will settle the accounts together then." Zhou Qing's face was not very good when he said this. Lan Shen didn't dare to ask more questions and could only stand aside unhappily.

"So that's why. No wonder Yun Zhongzi didn't mention these things. Huangdi was Guangcheng's disciple. In order to compete for the throne, the Chan Sect must have done something not very fair. Hehe, the National Security Bureau's superpowers group is undoubtedly the descendant of the ancient Wumen. The Wumen has some hatred with the Xiandao, but unfortunately the major sects have forgotten it, and the Wumen's juniors have become powerful in vain. But why did the superpowers group attack the Da Zizai Palace now? I can't figure it out?"

Zhou Qing shook his head. The two people who attacked him just now were able to escape with clever means. Their strength was not worth mentioning to Zhou Qing, and Zhou Qing didn't take it to heart.

Seeing that Zhou Qing and Lan Shen had finished talking, Fairy Yunxia and Fairy Nihong also explained the situation to each other. Fairy Nihong knew the reason why Yunxia's power and Taoism had improved greatly, but there were some things that Yunxia would not tell without Zhou Qing's consent.

Zhou Qing and Nihong greeted each other politely. Zhou Qing found that Nihong had reached the late stage of the transformation of spirit. He admired Da Zizai Palace very much. He was not a freak, but at least the number of people was far greater than that of his Tiandao Sect.

"Well, I now have a spiritual elixir cave, cultivation techniques, magic tools and treasures, but I lack disciples. It seems that I need to recruit more loyal ones, but where can I find them now? This is a troublesome problem. I can't just have two or three big cats and small cats. More people are the foundation!" Zhou Qing thought about it in his heart, but there was really no way, so he had to take it one step at a time. Anyway, it was not urgent now.

Fairy Nihong and Yunxia were like sisters. They had always spoken without scruples. They were about to tease Zhou Qing, their cheap brother-in-law, and make a joke, but when they saw Zhou Qing's elegance, his expression was majestic without anger, and he was completely a master and a master. They were startled and swallowed the teasing words at the end. They used the standard Taoist etiquette to greet each other seriously.

Yunxia was puzzled: "Why is the elder sister so serious today?"

Without saying much, the four of them flew into the sand dunes with a light of escape, and entered the illusion array. Yunxia and Nihong went left and right, and the scenery in front of them kept changing. Zhou Qing and Lan Shen followed behind slowly, looking relaxed, not confused by the illusion at all. In fact, with Zhou Qing's current means, he had already comprehended the mystery of the illusion array, and he was probably on par with the person who set up the array. Even an illusion array ten times more powerful than this one could not trap him.

Lan Shen was a celestial ghost. As long as there was no restriction on the space, he could come and go freely and leisurely.

Yunxia did not tell Nihong that Lanshen was the Yin God of the underworld, and the ghost energy of the original Heavenly Ghost was converted by the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree, so there was no clue at all. Nihong only knew that Lanshen was Zhou Qing's disciple, a very powerful cultivator overseas. Seeing Zhou Qing and the others strolling in the formation, Fairy Nihong thought: "The leader of the Tiandao Sect is much more powerful than the rumors say. Even his disciples are top masters. Sister Yunxia is so lucky."

After a while, the four of them finally flew to a huge sand dune. Fairy Nihong took out a green bamboo flute and played it a few times. The sky above the sand dune was originally scorching, but suddenly a strong wind blew, and clouds and mist swirled. In the far horizon, green mountains and green waters appeared, and red corridors, halls and pavilions appeared, looming, and it was really a mirage.

"Master Zhou, please follow me!" Neon Fairy said politely, set up the escape light, and rushed up. Zhou Qing followed behind. The four of them flew into the mirage and disappeared. A gust of wind blew again. The sky was scorching hot and cloudless again. There was no abnormality at all.

Shortly after the four entered, the yellow sand not far away suddenly bulged strangely, forming a seven-foot-tall human figure. What was even more strange was that the human figure formed by the yellow sand slowly changed, and the color of the yellow sand slowly turned into yellow skin. The human figure's appearance also became clear, but it was a young man, about 27 or 28 years old, naked. The man grabbed a set of black clothes from the void, and said to himself while putting them on: "It's refreshing to have space abilities, otherwise I have to go back naked every time, which is too embarrassing!"

Then he shouted to the void next to him: "Ye Daochuan, what's wrong with you? Are you injured? Are the five scattered people still useful? If not, take out their souls and spirits, we still need to study them!"

With a muffled groan, a middle-aged man fell out of the void. His face was pale, and there was a faint trace of blood at the corner of his mouth. His face was very ugly. He shouted coldly: "Lei Tiangang, you showed up here, it's too ostentatious, what if we were discovered by the few people just now, do you think we can still escape safely? I didn't expect that the Great Freedom Palace would have such a powerful helper. We are really at a loss this time. If we hadn't merged with Zhou Jianwu's bloodline and had the ability to control space, we would have to die here today."

"Hehe, you must have felt bad just now. Your natural soul-sucking technique failed today. The cultivator in the golden robe is the overseas cultivator who has been rumored recently. He is Zhou Qing, the leader of Tiandao Sect, and a guest elder of Shushan Sect. I didn't expect him to be much more powerful than rumored. It's really a miscalculation. It seems that we have to make careful calculations when we go back. The cultivation world has been very unstable recently. The disciples of Shushan and Kunlun have fought several times. Kunlun has suffered a lot." Lei Tiangang looked gloating.

"The more chaotic the Taoism in the Central Plains is, the better it is for us. Not only the Central Plains, but even the overseas cultivation world is not very peaceful. It seems that there is a big commotion at the bottom of the North Sea. However, the overseas scattered cultivation world is unfathomable and it is our forbidden zone. We can't intervene in the affairs of the cultivation world. We'd better not care about the overseas part now. Look at the Tiandao Sect Master. He has such means. Before our wings are not full, we must not act rashly."

Ye Daochuan and Lei Tiangang's figures flashed, and they didn't know what means they used. They were dozens of miles away. They didn't let go until they left this vast desert.

"I just used the soul control technique to invade Zhou Qing's consciousness, and I faintly felt a familiar breath." Ye Daochuan suddenly stopped and tried his best to recall something.

"Oh! What familiar breath, is it related to what we are looking for?" Lei Tiangang also stopped and asked in surprise.

"That's not the case. It seems to be... it seems to be the breath of the twelve ancestors of our Wu Sect, but it is very weak and seems to be sealed. I can't figure it out. After all, our abilities are too weak. The ancient tribesmen were killed by the immortals, and it is very difficult for the bloodline to be passed on to our generation. Fortunately, the current Taoist monks have long forgotten what happened in the past, otherwise we would have been beaten to death and never reincarnated. Lei Tiangang, our hope is slim." Ye Daochuan suddenly said in a depressed tone.

"What? Twelve ancestors, how is it possible? Since the leader of our Wu Sect, Chi You, was strangled by the immortals, the twelve ancestors have all been injured and dissipated between heaven and earth. How can there be breath? Didn't you get your brain damaged by the Tiandao Sect Master?" Lei Tiangang didn't hear what Ye Daochuan said at all, and jumped up in surprise.

"Lei Tiangang, I think you are out of your mind. Although the twelve witch ancestors have been injured, they can still be summoned as long as they gather strong enough souls and spirits. What do you think we can do with our means? Not to mention the group of gods in the sky, even the current cultivators, we can't deal with them. What a pity! The method of summoning the twelve witch ancestors has long been lost. Otherwise, we can take advantage of the chaos in the cultivation world and use the abilities of the five scattered people in the Western Regions to grab more spirits and souls. Maybe we can condense the ancestral witch clones. What a pity, what a pity!" Ye Daochuan sighed repeatedly, not optimistic about the current situation.

"Yes, it's a pity that my witch sect has withered. After the great witch Chi You was injured, a great witch Bai Qi, who is a figure who knows everything, came out. Unfortunately, he was still suppressed by the immortals, and I don't know where he is now. If it weren't for the sudden collapse of Changping last time, I found a clue and I wouldn't have found the Da Zizai Palace."

"Although the Great Wizard Bai Qi is powerful, how can one person resist the immortal? Unfortunately, the Great Wizard Bai Qi killed the heavenly soldiers and condensed so many souls. He also drove the Emperor Qin Huang to cast twelve golden men, hoping to summon the twelve ancestor wizards. Unfortunately, he did not have the correct method, and he failed. What a pity."

"Tian Gang! I have never understood that Xu Fu is just a sorcerer. How can he have such great magical powers and be able to compete with the Great Wizard Bai Qi? Is there something fishy?"

"Humph, Xu Fu is not a sorcerer. Your tribe does not know this secret. An ancestor of our tribe once recorded poems about Xu Fu. I discovered Xu Fu's true identity!" Lei Tian Gang looked very ugly.

"What poem? Who is Xu Fu? You and I are both from the Wu Sect. There is no need to bully me. Don't keep us in suspense. We finally found some clues about the great witch Bai Qi this time. Hope is slim. You know, we are not immortal now. We don't have that much time." Seeing Lei Tiangang deliberately keeping us in suspense, Ye Daochuan became anxious.

"The Turtle Snake Plate can grow golden lotus in the fire!" Now you know who the sorcerer Xu Fu is." Lei Tiangang saw that Ye Daochuan was anxious and dared not keep him in suspense anymore. He quickly told the truth.

"It turned out to be him. No wonder. Hey, the immortal way is so powerful. Our Wu Sect is so withered now. We can't even deal with the cultivators in this world. What else can we talk about? Even if the leader of the Tiandao Sect, Zhou Qing, has the method of condensing the twelve witch ancestors, so what? You can see that, not to mention him, even the child next to him is definitely not something we can deal with." Ye Daochuan sighed.

"That may not be the case. I think the world of cultivation is in turmoil and it is not peaceful. The leader of Tiandao, Zhou Qing, is involved with Shushan. How can Kunlun Sect let him go? Although Kunlun has not been very powerful, it has been a great sect for thousands of years and must be powerful. Moreover, Kunlun is the inheritor of the ancient tradition of Chanjiao, which is our mortal enemy. The casualties on both sides are good for us. Moreover, as long as their fight does not disturb ordinary people, we have no reason to care. We should keep our troops in place and look for clues about the great witch Bai Qi first." Lei Tiangang made a wishful calculation.

"These five scattered people from the Western Regions are cultivators and are very useful to us. It is inconvenient for us to come out and deal with the cultivators in the cultivation world. They can do it for us. Why do these five scattered people from the Western Regions not stay in the Western Regions and come to the Middle Earth to stir up trouble? The people of the Middle Earth Taoist sect can't do anything to you, so can't our supernatural group do anything to you? Humph, you will suffer for your own sins!"

Lei Tiangang and Ye Daochuan muttered for a while, and then stopped talking completely. They shook and disappeared, but they didn't notice that not long after the two left, a purple light suddenly flashed in the void behind them, revealing a purple centipede about an inch long. The centipede shook its head, twisted its body for a while, and swayed in the wind, and actually shrank into a purple light spot the size of a rice grain, rushing into the sky. Don't even think about seeing any movement. This is exactly the case of a mantis catching a cicada and a yellow bird, and there is always a mountain higher than another mountain.

"Little friends of Wumen, you have brought shame to your ancestors. With such little skills, you want to fight against people who want to fight against the immortals. Oh, how naive! It turns out that Bai Qi is the great witch of Wumen. No wonder Xu Fu is actually the Great Emperor Zhenwu Dangmo. Well, well, little friends of Wumen, you have given me a big surprise today. You let me know so many secrets. Little friends Ye Daochuan, do you really think that I will let you go so easily? With such a little ability, you want to escape the scanning of my heavenly eye."

Zhou Qing sat in a pavilion built of rosewood. With a wave of his hand, a purple light the size of a rice grain flew from the sky and drilled into his sleeves.

"The sect master has great magical powers, foresight, and wisdom that penetrates the three realms. How can those small witch gate methods be better than the sect master's magical powers."

Lan Shen flattered him on the side. Lan Shen was a celestial ghost, so how could he not know the space hiding method of Lei Tiangang and Ye Daochuan? If Zhou Qing had not secretly stopped him in time, Lan Shen would have killed them with the Blood-Transforming Knife.

Zhou Qing ignored Lan Shen's flattery and stood up directly, looking at the Yingying and Yanyan under the pavilion, Yunxia and a group of sisters from Zizai Palace talking and joking there, with the breeze blowing on his face, Zhou Qing looked at the scenery of the Great Zizai Palace Cave Heaven.

The space of this cave heaven is far beyond that of Shushan. The green mountains are continuous, with many pavilions and towers in the middle, and there are red palaces covering a radius of more than ten miles floating in the sky above the green mountains, forming a large formation. The sun is high in the sky, and the soft sunlight falls down. It is like spring all year round. No wonder Fairy Yunxia looked disapproving when she saw Shushan Cave Heaven.
