Chapter 257 Glazed Realm [Two in One]

To the north of the Divine Capital, next to the Imperial City, there is a royal forbidden area.

At the very center is a towering mountain. When the sun is shining, from a distance, the entire peak is bathed in sunlight, as if it were made of pure gold. Practitioners can feel the surging dragon energy at a glance, and even ordinary people can vaguely hear the dragon's roar coming from underground if they get close.

There are nine dragon-raising formations in the Yin Dynasty, raising the nine lucky dragons brought by the Confucian sage. Zhongzhou Taihuang Mountain is the most central one. On the top of Taihuang Mountain is the ancestral temple of the Jiang family of the Yin Dynasty. The surrounding area also includes the Wentian Tower where the great priest lives in seclusion, the Lingxue Hall where the royal family members worship, and so on.

On this day, a luxurious carriage slowly passed through the outer imperial guard positions, pulled by a dragon horse, and headed towards the Wentian Tower.

In the car, Liang Yue smiled awkwardly and said, "I have already taken the medicine from the Danding Sect. One day should be enough for my injuries to heal. Lord Zuo Xiang doesn't need to worry so much."

"The Danding Sect is a lineage of Qi Refiners after all. When it comes to the injuries of the Divine Palace, the people of the Wentian Tower are more adept." Liang Fuguo on the opposite side was quite relaxed. He looked at the scenery outside the window and said casually, "After all, you were implicated because of me. I will definitely be responsible for you to the end."

Just now, he personally went to the Zhuxie Yamen to call Liang Yue out and told him the truth about the assassination last night. As expected, it was just as he had guessed, someone wanted to take revenge on Liang Fuguo, but had no idea where to start, so Liang Yue started to vent his anger.

However, Liang Fuguo did not tell him who the attacker was. Liang Yue did not worry about this. With the character of the Left Prime Minister, even if he did not retaliate against the real owner, he would definitely retaliate in the most extreme way.

Both of them were helpless about this.

Liang Yue has explained it on various occasions, and Liang Fuguo has also refuted the rumor in the court, but in this era, rumors spread much faster than they can be clarified. There is no public channel for speaking out, and Liang Fuguo can't issue a notice from the Ministry of Justice, or Liang Yue can't publicly say on the stage tomorrow that we are not father and son, right?
And even if you do that, others will think you are making things more obvious.

Unless Liang Fuguo publicly admitted that he had planned to enter the palace as a eunuch twenty years ago, and although he changed his mind later, the preparations had been completed and it was impossible for him to have a child.

The carriage stopped in front of the Wentian Tower. Liang Fuguo took him out of the carriage. It was also the first time that Liang Yue saw this strange tower.

The seven-story exquisite tower has an outer layer that seems to be made of black stone, glowing with a lustrous black light. Outside stands a statue of a holy goddess. I wonder if it is the great priest in the legend.

Two white-robed priests were standing in front of the building to greet them. One was wearing a white hat, was tall and looked a little older, while the other was a pretty girl with a more lively look.

"Xiao Yun?" Liang Yue smiled when he saw his sister.

During this period, she was able to go home regularly. If you count carefully, she might have gone home more often than him. But this was the first time she saw her sister in Wentian Tower.

Liang Xiaoyun also smiled gently. The brother and sister did not rush to say hello. After all, they were just juniors.

Liang Fuguo first greeted the older priest, "Priest Liuli, why do you have to come out in person to greet us?"

"Now that the Left Prime Minister has arrived, we must treat him with courtesy," the other party replied.

It turns out that this person is the Liuli priestess who is now in charge of the affairs of Wentian Tower. When the high priest is not present, she is the person in charge here.

"I've said everything in advance. Liang Yue was injured at the barrier of the Divine Palace. Although he just needs to rest, he will soon participate in an important arena battle and will not have time to recover carefully. Can you help him heal?" Liang Fuguo asked directly.

"Since Lord Zuo Xiang has asked, of course it is possible." The Liuli priest nodded slightly, and then said, "Besides, he and my junior sister from Wentian Tower are blood relatives."

"That's great." Liang Fuguo laughed, and the two followed the Glass Priest into the Wentian Tower.

……

Wentian Tower was spacious and bright. The inner walls of the hall and corridor were pure white. Each floor had a very spacious hall surrounded by a circle of rooms. There was a strange seal on the wall every few steps. For some reason, Liang Yue always had a strange feeling of being pierced by someone when looking at the pattern.

The two seals on the palms of his hands also began to heat up slightly.

"You are outsiders after all, and you cannot go upstairs. You will stay in this room tonight." The Liuli priest arranged, "I will send you into the Liuli realm, allowing you to absorb the spiritual essence there to nourish your soul."

"However, the spiritual essence in the Glazed Realm is elusive and extremely difficult to obtain. If you are naturally stupid, you may gain nothing in the Glazed Realm; if you are highly savvy, you may even gain some enlightenment, greatly increasing the strength of your spiritual consciousness. You can only stay until dawn, and whether you can recover from your injuries depends on your own luck."

"Okay." Liang Yue bowed and said, "Thank you, Priest Liuli."

Later, Liang Fuguo and Liang Xiaoyun were both waiting outside, leaving Liang Yue alone following the Liuli Priest into a quiet room.

The decoration style of Wentian Tower is quite pure. The whole room has only four walls, and the rest is empty.

Liang Yue followed the instructions of the Glass Priest and sat cross-legged on the ground in the middle. Then the Glass Priest raised the seven-color glass ruler in his hand, raised it to the air, drew a circle, framed Liang Yue in it, and then a bright light shone.

call out--

With a flash of light, after a trance, the scene before my eyes was a completely different one.

Later, the Glass Priest left the meditation room.

Liang Fuguo thanked him again, "Thank you so much for troubling you this time."

"It's just a small favor. There's no need to be so polite, Lord Left Prime Minister." The Liuli Priest shook his head.

"I know that the spiritual essence in the Glazed Ruler was painstakingly refined by past generations of priests. Sending someone in this time will definitely cause some damage." Liang Fuguo said with a smile, "You don't want any reward, but I have to thank you a few words."

The Glass Priest replied calmly, "It's nothing. He is just a warrior. How much damage can he suffer after absorbing it for a night?"

Then, she said to Liang Xiaoyun, "Just watch here. If he behaves strangely, notify me immediately."

"Yes." Liang Xiaoyun nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, Liang Fuguo left the Wentian Tower and took a carriage to leave Taihuang Mountain. The Liuli Priest went up to the tower to practice on his own, while Liang Xiaoyun stayed outside the quiet room where Liang Yue was.

Everything looks so quiet and peaceful.

……

Liang Yue, who was in the Glazed Realm, was looking at this world with amazement.

Number twenty-seven on the Immortal Objects List: Seven-Colored Glazed Ruler.

The ruler of the Glass Priest was a treasure that had been passed down from generation to generation in the Heavenly Questioning Tower. It was not surprising that it contained a secret realm. However, the appearance of this secret realm was indeed somewhat strange.

Liang Yue only felt that he was sitting on a clear lake, with a bright moon in the sky. In the sky above his head there were many flying spiritual fires like large clusters of fireflies. He wondered if they were the legendary "spiritual essence".

Its shape was indeed erratic. Although it was hovering above his head, when he tried to reach out and touch it, the spiritual fire would immediately retreat far away.

"It has a strong spirituality." Liang Yue said to himself.

It was obvious at a glance that this spiritual fire was not something that could be obtained by simply chasing it. If one tried to chase it by force, he would probably die of exhaustion and not even touch a few flames.

He looked down at the water again and noticed something strange.

Those were the spiritual fires in the sky, and there was no reflection in the water. On the clear lake surface, there was only the shadow of the moon.

what happened?

Could it be that these spiritual fires do not exist in reality?

Liang Yue was guessing in his heart, and at the same time thinking about how he could catch them.

But sitting here was of no use, so after thinking it over, he decided to get up and give it a try.

He sat for a long time, looking at the many spiritual fires swirling around him. When a wisp of spiritual fire passed by his head, he suddenly jumped up and quickly grasped one of them. The flames had no heat, but were icy cold. The spiritual fire seemed to have no substance. The moment it touched his fingers, it slipped away from his fingers.

Not only did that cluster of spiritual fire slip away, but countless spiritual fires above his head scattered and ran away into the distance.

However, Liang Yue was not very agile in the water of Liuli Realm. If he chased, it would take him a long time to catch another one. He looked at the spiritual fires floating in the air and suddenly felt that the shapes of these things looked familiar, a bit like... fish?

Thinking of this, he suddenly realized a problem.

Glazed Realm, Glazed Mirror, could it be that this is not the real Glazed Realm at all? Or rather, it is just a part of it.

After pondering for a moment, he suddenly lay down, his body creating ripples on the water, and the moon swayed along with it.

There was indeed something wrong with the water surface. He gathered all his energy, turned over and slapped downwards.

bang——

Finally, one of his arms passed through, and then his whole body followed suit and disappeared into the water.

No.

When he was completely penetrated, he found that there was still a lake and he was still lying on the water.

But this time the lake had boundaries. On the shore, an old man wearing a straw raincoat and hat was fishing there.

This place looks like a real paradise.

I felt strange before, but it turns out that I was at the bottom of the water.

Liang Yue stood up and walked towards the old man. As soon as he approached, the old man spoke slowly without Liang Yue asking, "It has been a long time since anyone came here. Young man, are you the healer sent in by the Glass Priest?"

"That's right." Liang Yue asked, "May I ask who the old man is..."

"I am the spirit of this seven-colored glazed ruler. I have been sitting there for thousands of years, hoping to transcend." The old man said with a smile, and suddenly handed the fishing rod to Liang Yue, "Since you are someone sent in by the Glazed Priest, and you can come to this Mirror Lake, then you should have an opportunity."

"This fishing thing is Ling Yun?" Liang Yue asked.

"That's right." The old man nodded slightly and said, "Spiritual essence likes to blend with the Dao of heaven and earth, and this fishing rod and the fisherman are their only chance to leave Mirror Lake. The higher the level of understanding, the more spiritual essence can be attracted. The Glazed Priest has only given you one night, don't waste it."

Liang Yue heard this and did not delay any longer. He just said, "Thank you very much."

After saying that, he took the fishing rod and sat down like the old man.

The old man said, "Some of the spiritual essences here were derived from the time of the great priests. They are so spiritual that ordinary people cannot even take them seriously. I have been fishing here every day and have not caught anything for three years. This shows how tricky the spiritual essences here are."

You can tell from your long-term fishing experience that even the Air Force can tell the problem with fish.

Liang Yue said silently in his heart, but responded with a smile: "Then I will be satisfied if I can gain a little."

Before he finished speaking, as soon as the fishing rod was put into the water, he felt a spiritual fire hit him, spread along the silk thread, and instantly rushed into Liang Yue's body.

boom.

He felt a loud bang inside the temple, as if it was cleansed, and even felt a little dazed for a moment.

After a breath, he came to mind and felt his mind was a little clearer.

That's right, this is the spiritual essence, the purest divine consciousness refined by high-level mystics. They store their daily refined divine consciousness in this glass realm, waiting to be used during training or battle. It has accumulated from generation to generation to form such a huge scale.

The old man next to him was silent for a moment, and said, "You actually got the spiritual essence hooked as soon as you sat down. I don't know how good your comprehension is, but you're lucky."

"Maybe it was just luck." Liang Yue said with a smile.

Before he finished speaking, his whole body trembled again.

The second spiritual energy rushed into the body.

"My...comprehension...is just...average." Liang Yue hadn't finished his sentence when his whole body trembled three or four times.

The old man frowned and looked at him, and asked, "Are you a disciple of Wentian Tower? That's not right, Wentian Tower has never had male disciples... But why do you have such a strong attraction to Ling Yun?"

"I... don't... understand..." Liang Yue replied in a trembling voice: "But... I feel... the... spiritual energy... here... is quite... enthusiastic..."

The old man was silent for a long while, then he said: "Don't talk for now. If I had your speed of absorbing spiritual essence, I would have transcended in two and a half years, let alone three thousand years."

"If you keep talking, I'm afraid I won't be able to help but feel jealous."

As a professional weapon spirit, he would not easily feel anger or jealousy.

Unless you can't help it.

In fact, Liang Yue really was speechless.

Because the spiritual beings around seemed to sense that there was a change in the person who was fishing, they began to rush over.

If he was still underwater, he would see a horrifying scene: countless blue-green fireflies gathered together, covering half of the water surface!
The fire on Liang Yue's body could no longer be extinguished.

boom!
……

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself still in the quiet room. In front of him was the Liuli Priest with a slightly angry look on his face, and behind him was Liang Xiaoyun.

"Priest Liuli, is it dawn?" Liang Yue asked.

"Not yet, it's only three o'clock in the morning." said the Glass Priest.

"Then how..." Liang Yue looked at her with confusion.

We clearly agreed to do it all night, why did it stop halfway through?
The Liuli Priest's eyes were a little surprised and a little angry. Why did you stop?

I thought you were just a warrior with dull spiritual awareness, and you might not gain anything by entering the Glazed Realm. Even if you did, it wouldn’t be much.

Who knew that you would start to inhale violently as soon as you entered, and at three o'clock in the morning, the spirit of the Liuli ruler sent a warning message. If you were allowed to inhale all night, I'm afraid that the spiritual essence accumulated over thousands of years would be gone.

"That's about it." The Glass Priest said solemnly, "If you absorb more, I'm afraid you won't be able to refine it, which would be bad."

"Is that so?" Liang Yue smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Priest."

"You should have a good rest first." The Liuli Priest said, and then took Liang Xiaoyun out.

After she walked out of the quiet room, she looked at Liang Xiaoyun and said, "Didn't I tell you to notify me immediately if anything unusual happens?"

Liang Xiaoyun blinked, "But he is just absorbing the spiritual essence normally, there doesn't seem to be anything unusual?"

The Glazed Priest said, "You have also been to the Glazed Realm, and you know what it is like to absorb spiritual essence normally. His body is on fire, and you still say there is nothing unusual?"

Liang Xiaoyun looked innocent, "My elder brother has a good understanding, he usually practices like this..."

　Good morning.
