Chapter 454: Penglai Saint Lord, the Year of Ten Thousand Meetings

The water in the Red Lake was surging, and seeing the giant red lotus below burning with anger, Lin Shan felt a little guilty for no reason.

Fortunately, it is indeed sealed as it said and cannot move. Even though there are huge waves all around now, it is actually just thunder with little rain and cannot pose any threat.

"Senior, please calm down. Please calm down. I didn't know that you had such a past with the Penglai Holy Land in the East China Sea."

"If you don't mind, tell me about it."

The giant red lotus' hatred has not yet subsided, and anyone who is locked up in a small dark room for ten thousand years will be driven crazy by rage.

Now that he meets someone who is willing to listen, he immediately starts to criticize him.

"Let me tell you, the so-called Penglai Holy Land in the East China Sea may look righteous and ethereal, but it's actually just a pretense, and it's full of bastards who eat people without leaving any bones!"

"I was fooled by them and entered the interior of Penglai Mountain. Then they gathered the power of the entire sect to capture me."

"If I hadn't reacted quickly and held back, threatening to die together with you, I would have been wiped out by them and become a puppet for them to control!"

"In the end, they couldn't do anything to me. They didn't dare to imprison me in Penglai for a long time for fear of my retaliation. They had no choice but to look for a suitable place and imprisoned me in the Luosong Mountains."

Lin Shan was confused and couldn't help asking questions.

"Why did they kidnap the seniors? What's their purpose?"

The giant red lotus hums and groans, which makes me angry just thinking about it.

"What other purpose could there be? It's nothing more than wanting to use the ancestor's body to refine a lotus body, or a demon lotus puppet, or to use it as medicine to refine pills, or even a spiritual treasure to reach the sky."

Before he finished speaking, his tone suddenly changed.

"Why are you asking this? Could it be that you want to add insult to injury because you see that our ancestor is in such a state of desolation?"

"Uh, I don't dare."

Lin Shan quickly shook his head and waved his hands. He didn't have the ability to do that. He said that he was simply curious about the Penglai Holy Land in the East China Sea and had no improper thoughts about the Red Lotus Ancestor.

The giant red lotus sneered disdainfully.

"What's there to know about Penglai in the East China Sea? Is it worthy of being called a holy land?"

"Now that so much time has passed, I don't know how things have turned out. It just so happens that you are out there, have you heard any news?
Tell me about it!"

Lin Shan didn't expect that he would suddenly change from a listener to the one being asked, so he had to honestly answer that he didn't know either.

The Holy Land of Penglai has basically faded out of the world of cultivation in the past thousand years. Even the local snake-like mermaids in the East China Sea are not very clear about it. They only know that it has not completely disappeared, but it just doesn't show up in front of people.

"This is normal. The law of nature is cyclical and retribution is inevitable. No force can last forever in this world. I have seen many ups and downs, rise and fall, and the replacement of success over a long period of time."

Ancestor Honglian sighed repeatedly, as if there were too many memories in his mind, and his thoughts drifted away for a moment.

"Old Ancestor, do you still remember the name of the person who cheated you back then?"

Lin Shan thought of the two tablets of the ancestors of the Penglai Holy Land that he had obtained, and mentioned it intentionally or unintentionally.

The other party replied as a matter of course: "Of course I remember, I will never forget it even if I turn into ashes in this life!"

The gnashing of teeth and the overwhelming resentment could be clearly felt through the voice transmission.

"His name is Zang Yan, Zang as in Guizang and Yan as in Yanbian."

"Zang Yan?"

Lin Shan muttered something to himself, comparing it with the two ancestral tablets he had obtained, and his original expectations instantly died down.

The names engraved on the two ancestral tablets are:

'Xuan Ge' and 'Huai Yuan'.

He originally thought that if the people who sealed and suppressed the Red Lotus Ancestor were these two, it meant that they had already died long ago, and had been successfully killed by him using his lifespan.

Perhaps he could get some information about the two East China Sea ancestors during their lifetime from Patriarch Honglian, and thus solve the mystery of the two tablets.

In the Holy Land of Penglai in the East China Sea, whether the gods are mysterious or not is not important to Lin Shan and has nothing to do with him.

However, each ancestral tablet contains a lot of ancient information, which makes it worth his while to collect relevant information.

Even more, if you can follow the clues and get some treasures and heritage buried long ago, you can make a fortune!
It is extremely difficult for a casual cultivator to get an opportunity.

It’s too slow to save money through hard work, it’s much more refreshing to become rich overnight!
However, in the Holy Land of Penglai in the East China Sea, not every ancestor has necessarily died; perhaps some have ascended to heaven.

The Patriarch Zang Yan, who ambushed the Red Lotus Patriarch, couldn't say for sure what the situation was like now. After all, tens of thousands of years had passed, and the world had changed dramatically. It was too long and it was difficult to know where to start.

"Grandmaster, do you know which generation of Penglai Patriarch Zang Yan is?"

Lin Shan changed the way he addressed her unconsciously. While chatting casually, he was thinking about getting closer to her, perhaps if they had a good relationship he could get some advice.

The Red Lotus Patriarch had been silent for a long time and didn't mind chatting with others. He was indeed bored, otherwise he wouldn't have talked so much to Lin Shan.

"Which generation of ancestor? I only know that he seemed to be the eighth generation of the Holy Lord of Penglai at that time. If the ancestors before him had not cut in line, he should be the eighth generation!"

As soon as these words came out, Lin Shan felt as if he was struck by lightning!

The eighth Holy Lord of Penglai?
There was indeed no record on the two ancestral tablets, but relevant information was provided when the strengthening panel was originally identified.

Whether it is the tablet of Patriarch Xuan Ge or Patriarch Huai Yuan, they were both sealed by the eighth generation Holy Lord of Penglai in the East China Sea!

Therefore, the eighth generation Holy Lord is Zang Yan. The method he is best at is sealing. Not only did he seal the Red Lotus Ancestor, he also sealed the tablet!
What kind of earth-shattering changes happened in the Holy Land of Penglai ten thousand years ago that caused the Eighth Generation Saint Lord to seal the tablet of the ancestor and have it scattered overseas?
He felt more and more that that period of history must be hiding a great secret about this world!

And Patriarch Honglian happened to be there at that time of great change, so maybe he was involved in the situation and was a key figure!
"Ancestor, did something big happen ten thousand years ago? Tell me about it, it will open my eyes!"

Ancestor Honglian did not suspect anything and started chatting with him.

The older generation generally likes to brag, and the older they get, the more they like to brag. This can be said to be a universal phenomenon. Once they talk about their own era, they suddenly become excited.

"Ten thousand years ago, war broke out everywhere and the world was in chaos. The cultivation worlds of various countries were in the midst of civil wars, fighting for land and profit, and the battles were fierce."

"If you want to cultivate the truth, how can you cultivate the truth without fighting?"

"It's a pity that you were not born in that era to catch the world's spiritual tide that only occurs once in ten thousand years!"

"Spiritual energy is gushing out, the scene is unprecedented, the earth dragon is turning over, and tsunamis are rising one after another!"

"World Spiritual Tide?"

Lin Shan heard a word he had never come across before. Yunchuan Academy had never recorded it. It seemed that this past event had been sealed away in the long river of time. The Red Lotus Patriarch patiently coaxed him: "You should know about the era, right?"

"One million, two hundred and ninety-six thousand years!"

Lin Shan naturally knew about it; the Black Skull Demon Lord had told him about it.

"This is the World Era. The Chaos Era is 129.6 million years."

"Yes."

Ancestor Honglian continued his speech leisurely.

"A world era is equivalent to ten Huiyuan, and one Huiyuan is 129,600 years."

"One Hui Yuan is equivalent to twelve Hui, and one Hui is eighteen hundred years."

"Every time a Wanhui Year comes, as well as the Huiyuan Year above it, the world is in turmoil. Countless underground spiritual veins emerge, and natural treasures emerge one after another. This brings not only unprecedented prosperity, but also countless disasters and catastrophes."

"For example, the battle against the alien demon invasion 120,000 years ago was a great time!"

"This world is full of powerful people and masters, and only then can we resist the invasion of foreign demons and successfully defend our homeland."

"If it had been any other day, I'm afraid with the lineup of the outer demons at that time, they wouldn't even be able to withstand the first round of attacks and would have been reduced to a demonic ruin!"

"This is the case where misfortune is the basis of blessing, and blessing is the basis of misfortune."

“Although the Wanhui Year I am in is not as exaggerated as the Huiyuan Year, it can also be called a glorious and prosperous era.”

"You don't know, I saw it with my own eyes, the earth's crust plates connected and undulated, the plateaus and canyons squeezed and collided, the mountains collapsed, the rivers changed their courses, the land was barren, the tsunami invaded, all the volcanoes erupted at the same time, and the world's glaciers shattered at the same time."

"If you walk on the road, you may die in an unknown disaster in the next moment!"

"When you sleep at night, treasures might suddenly fly out from the ground!"

"Everyone and every force has gone completely crazy, fighting for sacred mountains and blessed lands all over the world, snatching up natural resources and treasures. It's a mess, and there are basically no pure lands left."

"Penglai was very powerful at that time and was at its peak. No one dared to provoke it and it was not affected by the chaos, so it dared to call itself a holy land."

When Ancestor Honglian talked about that fascinating era, his tone became passionate, with swords and spears, passion and heroism. It was a world of great contention!
"During this prosperous era, the spiritual energy is rich and there are many treasures, which has led to a surge in the number of immortal cultivators. The number of demon beasts that have awakened and become demons has also skyrocketed."

"The intelligence of the demon race is evolving faster and faster, and the cultivation of the human race is also rising. It is said that it has attracted the attention of the great Buddhist masters in the fairy world!"

"That day, I stood in the Larch Mountains, looking a million miles to the north, and witnessed a scene I will never forget."

"The sky cracked open, Buddha's light shone everywhere, the projection of the Western Paradise appeared across the world, and circles of Bodhisattvas, Arhats, Vajra, and Sarvastivada chanted scriptures and mantras, and the sound penetrated every corner of this world!"

“That day, the resonant whispers seemed to be in my ears, saving sentient beings with the halo and the Dharma.”

"But a mysterious hand that held up the sky destroyed the portal to the sky, wiped out the projection of the other world, and shattered the plan of the Buddhist master in the fairy world to spread the Dharma."

"Since then, everyone has been speculating that there is a true immortal left in the world, which has led to countless legends."

This was obviously the most grand scene that Patriarch Honglian had ever seen in his life. It would probably become something he would brag about to everyone he met in the future. He spoke fluently and coherently without any hiccups.

Lin Shan was shocked as he listened, and at the same time felt that it sounded a little familiar.

A million miles to the north, isn't that the land of Lu, Chu and Jin?

In the northwest of Lu State, there is indeed a place called Xiaoxitian.

Although the story that has been circulated is not as detailed as that told by the Red Lotus Patriarch and there are some discrepancies in some places, it is basically the same.

It is said that if the mysterious immortal had not appeared that time and stopped the Buddhist masters from the upper realm from spreading the Dharma, the state of Lu would never have been ruled by Confucianism.

And the mysterious immortal.
Could it be that he was the mysterious man in the bamboo hat whom he met in the middle of the forbidden area on the cliff, in the place where the dragon hides under the Milky Way?

He felt that his guess was very likely to be true!

Immortals banished from the mortal world are so rare that you can't find even one staying temporarily in hundreds of worlds. This one is most likely the one who has left this world.

No wonder he tried every means to avoid the supervision of the upper realm. It turned out that he had once ruined the good deeds of an important figure.

One can guess with one's toes that the great Buddhist powers in the fairy world had expended an unknown amount of money to open the passage to the lower world, intending to take advantage of the prosperous Wanhui Year to preach the Dharma and convert a large number of sentient beings with cultivation.

As a result, the man in the bamboo hat interfered and all their efforts were in vain.

There is no plan for spending money and nothing has been gained. Anyone would be furious!
However, it is also possible that there is someone else in the upper realm who is supervising, and no one can say for sure unless they are the person involved.

Just thinking about that wonderful duel made Lin Shan excited and he wished he could ascend to heaven and become an immortal. Of course, he could only think about it.

A small Jindan-stage creature, the size of an ant, could be crushed to death with just one finger.

Seeing that Lin Shan was stunned for a long time, immersed in his own words, Patriarch Honglian thought that Lin Shan was frightened by the scene he described. He felt inexplicably relieved that his boasting was successful.

He quickly continued to speak, talking nonstop in front of him.

"In addition, there are many heroes and geniuses who have come together to roam the world and create many influential figures!"

“I won’t mention this old ancestor. The eighth-generation Saint Lord Zang Yan from Penglai in the East China Sea can barely be counted as one. There is also the sixth-generation ancestor of the Zixiao Sect who ascended to heaven, and the great demon Qu Gong who crossed the ocean to seek revenge and wiped out the entire cultivation world in one night.”

"The great elder of the Shangxiao Sword Sect whose sword lights up the nineteen continents, the old scholar of the Confucian School who says a gentleman never waits for revenge, the saint of the Yunyu Pavilion whose dance stirs up the world and attracts three thousand followers, and the demon clan venerable Luo Xin who is a descendant of the true spirit and comes from all directions to pay homage."

Lin Shan listened to the Red Lotus Patriarch speaking eloquently about the great figures of that era and their well-known deeds. He was fascinated and felt as if he was possessed.

As it was talking, I suddenly heard it talking about a person.

"The star shines in the sky, Zichen prays for blessing, and a person with great supernatural powers fighting alone in the Nascent Soul stage. This person was born in an ordinary family, with low spiritual roots, but he accumulated a lot and changed his fate against the will of heaven. His name is Sanxiu Yuxing Zhenjun."

"wait wait wait!"

Lin Shan suddenly woke up from his immersion, and was startled. When he heard the key words, it was like an electric shock. His mind immediately focused on the person he wanted to know.

"Master Yuxing was also in your era?"

The Red Lotus Ancestor was just speaking excitedly, being narcissistic about his eloquence which was still fluent even after sleeping for thousands of years. The smooth and comfortable feeling was as if he had fallen into an ice cellar in the dog days of summer. Suddenly, he was interrupted by someone, which made him very unhappy.

However, as the current output target, Lin Shan is his only listener and has to respond patiently.

"Yeah, how come you've heard of this person's name?"
