Chapter 125 Xuanli Ancestor
“Kid, what is your cultivation level now?” “Early-stage or Middle-stage of Fairy Immortal?” “Your ultimate Cause-Effect Destruction Law seems to have the effect of disturbing the Divine Soul of others, and it should not be underestimated!” Golden was very interested in Lyu Liang’s cultivation and moves, which were different from ordinary people.
“That is hard to say, I seemed to be at the Early-stage but was near to the Middle-stage.” “Since the success of surviving the ordeal, having changed my Primordial Qi to Devil Immortal Qi, my level of cultivation is not so obvious, and its only now that I could only feel it.” “I finally realized the true meaning of the power of the law after this incident!” Lyu Liang, while flying fast, explained. When he mentioned about his power of law, his eyes were filled with excitement.
Later, Lyu Liang explained his current understanding of the principle of the law to the others in detail.
Lyu Liang named his power of law, “the ultimate Cause-Effect Destruction Law.” For example, the situation when he trapped seven people who were beyond the Fairy Immortal level, was through the use of the Cause-Effect law. It invaded their Divine Souls and then, used the Destruction law, to destroy their bodies. This type of dual attacks took the other party by surprise.
Among the seven people, the first one who was trapped was the youth at the Middle-stage of Fairy Immortal. Subsequently, the others put up their defenses, especially the two guys at the Late-stage of Almighty Immortals, who were to help others resist the power of the law. They did not seem to be disciples from any ordinary sect!
If Lyu Liang had been merciless and triggered the Ghost Devil Head, with the Destruction law at full force and the help of the merged bears, it would not be a problem to kill all four or five of them.
But still, Lyu Liang did not want to kill innocent people. Although he had been misunderstood and many people were now trying to get rid of him, but he could not give up himself. If he killed all these people, then his reputation would worsen.
“Liang, where are we going next?” Black asked the most crucial question of the moment.
Lyu Liang pondered for a while and said seriously, “I have to go back to the Holy-Fist Palace again and try to get Ximen Dongye out too!” “Since I have already promised brother Xiayu, I have to try it. This is my last chance!”
This seemed to be a crisis-filled action but no one raised any objections. Although the three little beasts had been with Lyu Liang for different durations of time, they still knew very well what his character was like. As for the Xu Liang brother and sister team, they would go wherever Lyu Liang went.
Lyu Liang did not hurry and found another place to hide as he wanted to wait until it was night, before re-entering the territory of the Holy-Fist Palace.
During this period, Lyu Liang did not waste any time. Together with all the other beasts and people, they launched various persuasive tactics on the Kunwu Sword spirit. They only had one common goal. “Please sacrifice yourself to help others. After all, the safety of Lyu Liang is more critical than your famous swaggering image!”
After listening to the demands of the crowd, the two-headed Giant Tiger thought for a while and finally nodded, only stating one condition. After they left the Mortal Realm, Lyu Liang had to put it back on display! All the others finally heaved sighs of relief.
At the moment, Kunwu Sword returned to the Heaven-Burning Xumi Formation. Lyu Liang relied on the Thousand Face Mask and once again disguised as an ordinary disciple of the Holy-Fist Palace with his cultivation at the Late-stage of Gold Core.
Even though it was night time, the Holy-Fist Palace was still crowded. It had already been more than a month after the incident, but some of the disciples did not leave yet.
Those who left in the past days, were disciples who were beyond the Void Return stage or those with a unique constitution or Spiritual Root. They had no problems finding their next home.
Those who were determined to leave but could not find any sects to go, left the Central Heaven District. After all, it was a big world, and they could always find a place to live.
The rest who were not gone yet, were those disciples who had great ambition but little talent. Their cultivation was not high, and they were just ordinary people. They had no chance of going where they wanted to, yet they did not consider any place outside the Central Heaven District. Thus, they could only stay in Holy-Fist Palace and wait for the next move.
Lyu Liang mixed in easily. No one took this ordinary looking and low cultivation disciple seriously.
After a while, Lyu Liang went to the cave residence of the Almighty Immortal. The deep pit that was left by Lyu Liang and Tiantuo’s previous battle, was still there, in its original form. The restriction formations outside all the cave residences had been removed, except for one at the most southern side.
Of course, all the cave residences were empty. There was no one inside. The only cave residence with the restriction formation was where Lyu Liang’s target was at. According to the information he obtained from the image in his Divine Soul, there were three layers of restriction formations in this cave residence. Inside the most inner layer, was a young man in shackles, with messy hair and ragged clothes. However, there were still patterns embroidered on his clothes, that were similar to those on Ximen Xiayu’s.
Lyu Liang did not hesitate. He used his Divine Sense to scan the surroundings, to make sure there was no one around and sneaked into the cave residence.
“Eh?” “Blocking of Divine Sense?” As soon as he entered, Lyu Liang discovered that he could only see things in front and around his eyes, and he could not use his Divine Sense.
After carefully considering about the situation inside the cave through the image in his Divine Soul, Lyu Liang went in calmly. Soon he passed through the second layer of Bounded Domain, followed by the third layer of Bounded Domain, all the way unimpeded.
When Lyu Liang entered the third layer of Bounded Domain, he was stunned. There were only a few scattered and broken pieces of the shackles on the ground. Ximen Dongye, who was supposed to be here, was nowhere to be seen!
“Did someone rescue him already?” “It is also possible, after all, it has been more than a month, but who could it be?” Ximen Dongye’s imprisonment was a secret. It was rumored that he had already died, and the person who knew this secret… Lyu Liang’s eyes brightened, and before he had the time to affirm his judgment, an old yet vigorous voice sounded behind him, “Haha, you are indeed a passionate and trustworthy person. No wonder the second son of the Ximen clan has so much faith in you!”
Lyu Liang did not panic and turned around, looking at the gray-robed elderly, who resembled Hell-heaven Tao Master a little and bowed respectfully, “Senior, are you Hell-earth Tao Master senior from the Massive Funeral Hall?” “I am Lyu Liang, and the Massive Funeral Hall has been helping me a lot. However, now I have implicated Hell-heaven senior and he suffered on my behalf, I…”
Lyu Liang had also heard about the events that occurred after the incident. He felt very guilty about implicating the Massive Funeral Hall who had always helped him, especially when the Hell-heaven Tao Master surrendered himself and was grounded for thousands of years. Lyu Liang almost had the impulse to turn himself in.
“Haha, that’s not a problem. Illusion Master from the Virtual Valley, has been our friend for a long time, and surely, he will not make things hard for my elder brother.” “Besides, thousands of years is just a blink of an eye, for us old guys.” “You don’t have to worry about it. On the contrary, you have to live till the day when justice is restored. That will be your best retribution to use.” Hell-earth Tao Master waved his hand with a tranquil and peaceful look.
Lyu Liang nodded upon hearing these words. He raised himself up and having a profound understanding of the kindness from the Massive Funeral Hall, he clasped his hands and said, “I will not disappoint the seniors’ expectations!” “By the way, senior, did you stay here to wait for me?”
Hell-earth Tao Master sighed, “The Massive Funeral Hall believes from the beginning that you could not be the one who killed the two Tao Masters from the Holy-Fist Palace.” “It’s not your intention to kill Tian Tuo Lord with that One Point Death. You might appear to be the killer on the surface, but it was not something you wanted to do!” “Am I right?” “If I am not wrong, you have been used by someone!”
Lyu Liang nodded and said solemnly, “Though I am a little different from the ordinary people, there is no way for me to kill a Tao Master. I only wanted to save my Taoist companion, and after I got her, I hurriedly ran for my for life. How can I provoke a Tao Master!” “As for that One Point Death, my Divine Soul seemed to have been temporarily controlled by something, and it was definitely not my move!”
Hell-earth Tao Master sighed and said, “Although we believe in you, other people from various sects may find it hard to believe you.” “Especially the Bloodthirsty Shura from Ru Yi Sect who hates you to death!” Of course, we cannot blame her. If it is not due to the fact that we know you, the first thing that we would do, is probably to kill you.”
Lyu Liang gazed at him and said, “Just because of that One Point Death?” “Can the senior tell me what that move represents?”
“Let me ask you first. Before you entered the Holy-Fist Palace, have you encountered any strange people, or has your Divine Soul ever been attacked before?” Hell-earth Tao Master did not answer the question. Instead, he stared at Lyu Liang and asked another question.
Lyu Liang almost immediately remembered one incident, the blue fog soul shadow that was engraved in his mind, that took place at the Holy-Fist Palace. During these days, he thought of this crucial place more than once. During the moment when he was lost in the strange aura that burst in his Divine Soul, the landscape map of the Holy-Fist Palace disappeared at the same time.
Lyu Liang pondered for a while and related the incident where he encountered the blue fog shadow.
Listening to Lyu Liang’s description, Hell-earth Tao Master’s look became more and more serious. After listening to the whole story, he looked up and sighed, then he muttered to himself, “The thirty-four of us came down to the Mortal world seven thousand years ago, to kill this traitor from the Heavenly Alliance.” “It is a pity that for so long, we only managed to kill three subordinates, with the loss of Hong Cheng Tao Ancestor and twelve Taoism peers.” “We did not expect the Heavenly Alliance Token, which has not been seen for a long time, is in the hands of this traitor!” “When Shui Ye mentioned about that blue fog shadow, we thought it was a milord from the Heavenly Alliance…Ai!”
Lyu Liang was confused, while listening to all these, “What is Heavenly Alliance and that Heavenly Alliance Token?” The only thing that he was clear about was that he seemed to have jumped into a trap or more simply put, he was used.
Looking at Lyu Liang’s confused look, Hell-earth Tao Master smiled bitterly and then said solemnly, “Lyu Liang, you are indeed a rare genius, maybe as what the elder brother said, you are the person who will play a role in turning things around in the future!” “The main purpose for me to be here is to introduce you to one person. He is from the Heaven Realm, one of the most highly respected five people in the Heavenly Alliance of the Pangu Origin world.” “This milord will tell you a secret of the Heaven Realm. Except for the three beasts around you, you must not pass it on to anyone else. You can’t even reveal it to Shui Ye and the others!”
Lyu Liang nodded solemnly upon hearing those words, and at the same time, he felt a bit nervous. “A character that was respected by a Tao Master is willing to come to the Mortal world to meet him, an insignificant Fairy Immortal, how amazing!”
At the moment, Hell-earth Tao Master waved his hand, and a crystal ball exuding golden lights appeared in front of Lyu Liang. Immediately, the crystal ball turned into a virtual shadow of a tall gray-robed elderly, with a majestic appearance. He exuded a faint trace of murderous aura. With just one glimpse, one could see that this was a soldier who had gone through countless wars!
However, when he looked at this image and felt the aura that it exuded, Lyu Liang felt something vague yet familiar.
Just when he was feeling somewhat contemplative and confused, the condensed image grinned, “It is a blessing of the Xuanli Clan to have an incredible talent like you!” “Hehe, I am Xuanli Zhen. I am probably one of your ancestors!”
