Dusk Returns to the Ruined Building

The Tao is in the heart, and the heart is not the heart; seek the source to emptiness, emptiness, emptiness, emptiness is already emptiness!

Daoyuan Sect, one of the two sects in Yingzhou, is as famous as Penglai Sect on the coast of the East China Sea. It has a history of thousands of years. Although it enjoys a high reputation in Yingzhou, it rarely interferes in the affairs of the martial arts world.

The Daoyuan Sect known to the world actually refers to the Daoyuan Sect of Yunxu Mountain. As for the ancestral home of the Daoyuan Sect, Wuxu Linggu, few people in the world know about it, but the famous fortune-telling boy has lived in Wuxu Linggu for generations.

The root of Taoism, Stargazing Mountain!

This statement actually has some basis, because the copper plate of the divination boy came from Guanxing Mountain, while the rest of the Daoyuan Sect has nothing to do with Guanxing Mountain, because the most original inheritance of Daoyuan Sect was broken thousands of years ago.

The current Daoyuan Sect's inheritance originated from the Xuantian Pavilion, but it has a rift with the Xuantian Pavilion. Otherwise, it would not have been the Ji family that helped the Daoyuan Sect escape the catastrophe a thousand years ago.

Sister Qing’s brother was indeed sealed in the Wuxu Spirit Valley, but Sister Qing’s brother was not the King of the Demon Realm. That was just Shen Yichen’s own guess. He thought Sister Qing was Princess Qing Shan, so he naturally thought that Sister Qing’s brother was the King of the Demon Realm. Sister Qing did not explain, perhaps she thought it was unnecessary.

Thousands of years ago, Sister Qing's brother broke into the Wuxu Spirit Valley, actually wanting to find a way to remove the evil ghost vein power in his body, but was sealed here by the Ji family and the Daoyuan Sect.

This is how the Ji family's kindness to Daoyuan Sect came about. If Xuantian Pavilion had not taken action at that time, and if the Ji family had not extended a helping hand, Daoyuan Sect would have been destroyed.

Even so, the Daoyuan Sect also paid a heavy price. Almost all the leaders of the past generations died in the Wuxu Spirit Valley just to suppress the ghost vein power overflowing from Sister Qing's brother.

The ghost vein power in Sister Qing's brother is not an ordinary ghost vein power. As for what exactly is going on, Daoyuan Sect really doesn't know.

This is why Daoyuan Sect moved all its disciples to Yunxu Mountain. There have only been two people in the ancestral land of Daoyuan Sect from beginning to end, one is the head sect leader, and the other is the divination boy. One is responsible for suppressing the seal, and the other is responsible for divination and predicting the disaster of Daoyuan!

All matters in the martial arts world are handled by Yunxushan.

When the wind from Guanxing Mountain blew into Wuxu Spirit Valley, the head of Daoyuan Sect, Qingyao Zhenren, used his own body to suppress the power of the ghost veins that overflowed from the seal, and at the same time activated the last defensive formation of Daoyuan Sect.

The formation is based on floating stones and supplemented by Daoyuan Sect's exercises. This is the phantom door that Shen Yichen and Sister Qing saw, flashing with life and death.

Where is Shen Yichen?

When the shadow of the Xuchen Pearl disappeared, he knew that there was a Ji family formation in this valley. The fluctuation of the Holy Emperor's true energy was still very obvious, indicating that the formation was not only running, but also under attack.

Shen Yichen and Sister Qing didn't know that the wind blowing into the Wuxu Valley and the clouds dissipating meant that the Daoyuan Sect's seal would not last much longer.

The normal situation in Wuxu Linggu is that the fairy air is vague, the clouds are endless, the wind cannot enter the fog, and the sight is not visible in the void.

Shen Yichen and Sister Qing also didn't know that when they set foot in Fuxu Temple, they had already entered the final defensive formation opened by True Man Qingyao.

Why does the Xuchen Pearl stop on the floating stone?

This is due to the power of the earth veins, just like two fixed-point teleportation arrays. If the floating stones on Lingyun Mountain and Xuankong Mountain were still intact, Sister Qing and Shen Yichen would appear on Xuankong Mountain or Lingyun Mountain, but the floating stones there have been destroyed, so the only place for the Xuchen Pearl is here!

In the entire Yingzhou, only Wuxu Linggu and the Abyss of Death have floating stones, but the floating stones in the Abyss of Death are hidden in the Ji family's formation.

The transmission method of the Xuchen Pearl is different from the operation in the World Star River Map. The power of the earth veins is transmitted at a fixed point, while the World Star River Map travels through it at will. Therefore, this is not God's will, nor is it the intentional act of the Xuchen Pearl as Shen Yichen suspected. This is just a normal phenomenon of the operation of the earth veins.

If you want to blame someone, just blame Shen Yichen for being unlucky and having a bad fate. It was because the floating stones of Lingyun Mountain and Xuankong Mountain were broken. Otherwise, he and Sister Qing would have left Jianying City very easily.

In front of the Daoyuan Sect's Phantom Gate of Life and Death, Sister Qing was looking at the Phantom Gate, while Shen Yichen was looking at the couplet in front of the gate. He had seen it before, on the Stargazing Mountain!

Shen Yichen couldn't remember where he had seen him before. He even laughed at the old Taoist priest:

"The Dharma is empty, the Tao is mindless, what's the point of practicing all day long?"

Of course, this was his complaint when he made no progress in practicing the Xuanxu Chenxiao Jue and the old Taoist priest forced him to practice all day long.

Shen Yichen now thought of Xiao Yingxu. Perhaps Daoyuan Sect and Guanxing Mountain really have some connection!

"Daichen, did you see anything? You're so fascinated by it!"

Sister Qing's hands waved in front of Shen Yichen's eyes. Sister Qing called Shen Yichen several times, but Shen Yichen was completely unaware.

Shen Yichen hurriedly turned to look at Sister Qing and shook his head.

"No, no, I just recalled some past events. I've seen this couplet before, but I can't remember where!"

"Isn't this so strange? Isn't Taoist doctrine always so obscure and difficult to understand?"

Sister Qing didn’t take it seriously!

Sister Qing walked in front of Shen Yichen, held Shen Yichen's hands with both hands, and said seriously:

"Daichen, thank you. Sister Qing wants to walk the rest of the way by herself. Is that okay?"

"Sister Qing, do you want to go in?"

Sister Qing nodded!

Shen Yichen looked at Sister Qing's eyes that were full of pleading. Sister Qing seemed to be very conflicted inside!

Shen Yichen actually nodded and agreed to Sister Qing's request.

Sister Qing was stunned for a moment. She felt happy but also a little disappointed. She stared at Shen Yichen in a daze!

"Daichen, you've matured and taken Sister Qing's words to heart!"

Shen Yichen smiled slightly.

"Sister Qing, go ahead, I'll wait for you!"

Sister Qing took a deep breath and let go of her hand. Although she was reluctant, she turned around and walked towards the door of light and shadow of life and death, but Sister Qing couldn't get in!

Sister Qing frowned and gathered her energy, then struck the door of light and shadow with one palm. As a result, the entire Fuxu Temple trembled, and even felt like it was about to collapse.

Sister Qing turned to look at Shen Yichen, who was looking at her with a smile.

"Daichen, you knew this would be the result, right?"

"Sister Qing, what do you think? We are already inside the formation. If you want to abandon me, should you be punished?"

Sister Qing showed a helpless smile!

"Once we leave here, you can punish me however you want. I'm going to destroy this place. You won't stop me, right?"

"Why should I stop you? I want to get out too. I've already released the Demon King, so why would I be afraid of releasing your brother? But I can't figure out. Does the life and death on the door refer to the people inside or the people we want to enter?"

When Sister Qing heard this, her expression turned fierce and she said in a cold voice:

"Why bother with so much!"

Sister Qing's aura surged outward, and a demonic sword quickly condensed between her hands, and she stabbed it at the door of the phantom of life and death.

Two energies of different attributes competed with each other, but it seemed that Sister Qing was better. Cracks appeared in the Gate of Life and Death Phantom, but the entire Fuxu Temple was also collapsing at the same time.

Shen Yichen and Sister Qing were both shocked!

"Sister Qing, the formation and the floating stone are one and the same!"

"I can't care less about that, Daichen. Once the formation is broken, you can leave!"

"Sister Qing, I want to leave too. Once this formation is broken, I'm afraid we'll see the real seal! Let me remind you, the seal here is the same as the one at the bottom of Hailing Lake, but it's probably a joint seal between the Taoist and Ji families. Without me, you can't get in, and you might not even be able to get out!"

Upon hearing this, Sister Qing's expression turned ruthless. With one strike of her sword, she shattered the door of the phantom of life and death, and the entire Fuxu Temple collapsed in an instant.

Before Sister Qing and Shen Yichen could figure out what was going on, they both entered a gray space at the same time.

Sister Qing's first reaction was to shout loudly:

"Brother, I'm Qing Shan, brother, I'm Qing Shan!"

Sister Qing sensed the familiar aura in the space, which was the ghost vein power that her brother absorbed back then.

Of course Shen Yichen also sensed it. He felt that Sister Qing's behavior was ridiculous and helpless. He shook his head secretly, took Sister Qing's hand, and said:

"Sister Qing, calm down, this is still outside the seal!"

"Daichen, my brother is really here, he is inside the seal!"

Sister Qing was really excited, her tears were streaming down her face, and she was also practicing her internal energy to try to open the seal.

"Sister Qing, calm down. How can this formation be broken? If it could be broken with force, your brother would have been out long ago!"

Shen Yichen hugged Sister Qing, and Sister Qing was a little out of control.

Sister Qing hugged Shen Yichen tightly and begged:

"Daichen, you, you can enter the seal at the bottom of Hailing Lake, can you also enter this seal? Can you help Sister Qing, please? Help Sister Qing, please?"

Shen Yichen roared:

"Sister Qing, calm down!"

Sister Qing was stunned for a moment, then began to beg Shen Yichen again.

Shen Yichen was helpless and worried, so he could only agree:

"Sister Qing, let me help you, calm down first!"

"Really, Daichen, will you really help Sister Qing?"

Shen Yichen wiped Sister Qing's tears and responded softly:

"Sister Qing, please calm down first. Otherwise, how can I help you?"

Sister Qing closed her eyes. After a moment, Shen Yichen held Sister Qing's face and asked softly:

"Sister Qing, is your brother controlled by the power of the ghost vein?"
