Chapter 264 Qingyang Cave Heaven [ask for monthly ticket! ]

Most of the strong people who practice the way of heaven and earth will have their own secret realms, such as Chen Su's small world. Some large sects will also have secret realms that have been passed down from ancient times and managed from generation to generation. Every generation will repair it, and over time, it will become a world full of spiritual energy.

The smaller ones are called blessed lands, and the larger ones are called cave heavens.

The secret realm passed down by the Qingyang Taoist Palace is called Qingyang Cave Heaven.

The entrance to the cave was hidden in the mountain behind the Taoist temple, which was covered with dense forests. On this day, the wind whistled and swept over the towering mountains, and suddenly many figures appeared on the flat ground.

Taoist Feng took the lead, leading the team of practitioners in the battle to capture the city, and came to a crack in the mountain wall.

Xu Zhan'ao, the Minister of Rites, was also among them. Liang Yue glanced at him and asked, "Master Xu, you came here with us. Does it have nothing to do with the affairs of the court?"

"The battle to seize the city is the top priority, and other matters can be put aside for the time being." Xu Zhan'ao said: "Besides, if there is really an emergency, although the magic of my academy is not as convenient as the magical power of the Taoist Palace, I can still return to the capital quickly by myself."

Xu Zhan'ao was a Qigong practitioner from the Sword Academy, and his cultivation was definitely not weak. His words just now were still a bit modest. The Confucian magical power of the academy was very good at long-distance escape, and it was not difficult for him to cross a distance of thousands of miles.

This is not very friendly to warriors. Wang Rulin has already reached such a high level of cultivation, but when encountering problems, he can only rely on his legs, and at most he can just run faster.

However, Liang Yue was thinking about another level. Right now, Longyuan City was in turmoil, and the court was carrying out a large-scale liquidation of the Xishan Society. Xu Zhan'ao came out at this time, and he seemed to be completely unconcerned about this matter. Does it mean that he has nothing to do with the Xishan Society?
You know, ministers who come from academies are all key suspects.

However, based on Liang Yue's understanding of Xu Zhan'ao, he is a noble and arrogant person, and may not necessarily look down on the group of people in Xishan Society who are secretly doing trouble.

Taoist Feng stood proudly over there, pointing to the mountain wall behind him and said, "This is the entrance to Qingyang Cave Heaven. You will follow me in a moment. The first stage of cultivation will begin here. Hehe, I am not bragging, but our Qingyang Taoist Palace is one of the top three secret realms in the world. It is absolutely a blessing for you to come here."

Zen Master Yun laughed and said, "This time, even though none of the Dao Palace's disciples participated, they are still willing to offer the cave heaven for you to practice. This is truly a chivalrous act."

"..." Taoist Feng was stunned when he heard this, "Lame monk, you really are talking about something irrelevant."

The pride on his face was easily wiped out by this sentence, and turned into helplessness and even a little aggrieved.

How proud can I be?

It's vulnerable, okay?

The status of Qingyang Dao Palace had always been far inferior to Xuanmen. In the past few hundred years, the world was peaceful, and it had actually been competing with Xuanmen for status. Whether in terms of inheritance, scale or heritage, Dao Palace was actually not inferior to Xuanmen. The biggest difference between them was just one point.

Master Xuan.

Without a ninth-level expert in charge of the Dao Palace, it will never be able to achieve the lofty status of the Xuanmen.

But they can focus on the future. Master Zhang Xuan will also fall one day. When the time comes, the new ninth realm will appear somewhere, and the geniuses of both sides will have to compete.

If Qingyang Taoist Palace had a bigger voice and recruited more talented disciples, then the chances would be greater.

In recent years, Qingyang Dao Palace has been strengthening its cooperation with the imperial court, and the intention is here. The imperial court represents the foundation of the people of Jiuzhou. Whoever has greater influence will naturally be more likely to absorb talented cultivation seeds and have a brighter future.

The cooperation between Xuanmen and the imperial court was also based on this consideration.

However, the task of being on par with Xuanmen is arduous and long, and Daogong's idea is just a beautiful vision. In this generation's battle to capture the city, Xuanmen has four people, while Daogong has no one, which shows that the gap in the reserve of geniuses on both sides is still huge.

Taoist Feng sighed, turned around and said, "Come with me."

……

He came to the cliff, put his hands together, and shouted, "Six Dings and Six Jias, help me open the door!"

Immediately there was a loud rumbling sound, and the mountains on both sides of the crack slowly slid open like a door, revealing a door with colorful clouds flowing through it.

Taoist Feng led everyone through the colorful barrier, and in a flash, they returned to a colorful world. When they looked up, they saw endless mountains, colorful clouds, and magical animals flying in the sky, just like the legendary fairyland.

"Liu Ding'er..." Taoist Feng first called out to the left, then to the right, "Liu Jia, thank you two for your hard work."

In each direction, there is a strong man wearing golden armor, about two feet tall, majestic and powerful like a heavenly soldier, with two iron chains in front of him, connecting the two ends of the mountain wall. Everyone looked at you, feeling surprised and speechless, thinking that you were chanting a spell and knocking on the door for a long time.

"It's my duty, no matter how hard it is." The brothers Liu Ding and Liu Jia laughed.

After they finished speaking, they bent over, stuck out their buttocks, and pulled the iron ropes hard to pull up the two sides of the mountain walls, panting heavily. It can be seen that even for their size, pulling the two mountain walls is still very difficult.

After closing the mountain wall, the two of them said "Hi" to each other and sat down to rest against the mountain.

"Liu Ding and Liu Jia were once disciples of the Taoist Palace. They were born with supernatural powers. Later, their bodies were destroyed and their souls weakened when they were slaying demons. My master helped them rebuild their bodies in the cave. Although they gained immortal physiques, they can never leave the Qingyang Cave again. So he simply kept them here and opened the door for newcomers, so that only the head master could come in." Taoist Feng explained.

After saying this, he was about to lead everyone in, but Wen Yifan suddenly asked, "Where's Lin Fenghe?"

When everyone looked around, they found that the originally complete team was indeed missing one person.

"This guy was clearly in the team outside just now, how come he disappeared in the blink of an eye?" Taoist Feng wondered.

"This junior fellow is not very sociable and often acts on his own." Shang Yunhai apologized a little embarrassedly, and then asked: "Can we go out and look for him?"

"Of course we have to gather everyone together, otherwise how can we start the first trial?" Taoist Feng covered his face and said, "Liu Ding and Liu Jia, help me open the door again... thank you for your trouble."

"Ah." Upon hearing this, the two golden-armored warriors who were sitting on the ground taking a rest took a deep breath and said, "No problem."

After saying that, he stood up again, pushed the ground with his front feet, exerted force with his arms, and pulled the iron chain backwards, "Ah..."

As they exerted their strength, the mountain walls on both sides opened up again, revealing the colorful barrier again. When everyone passed through the barrier, they saw Lin Fenghe and others standing there.

"Where have you been?" Taoist Feng asked with a frown.

"I just went to the bathroom, and when I came back I found that you were all gone." Lin Fenghe replied.

"Remember to let us know next time you leave the team." Feng Daoren said unhappily, turning back and muttering, "At that time, we didn't feel that the team was so difficult to lead."

"That's because you were in the team." Master Yun whispered back, "You and Wang Rulin and the others were much harder to discipline than now. When you were in the wild, you always said you wanted to sneak out to find a female demon..."

"Hey, hey, hey." Taoist Feng quickly stopped him, "Why are you telling everything to others?"

After gathering all the people and returning to the secret realm, he looked back at the two strong men who were slumped on the ground and said, "Liu Ding'er, Liu Jia, you can close the door now."

"Okay..." The two strong men responded, climbed up, bent over again, stuck out their buttocks, and pulled up the cliff with a grunt.

It was obvious that both of them staggered when the door closed this time.

"Thank you for your hard work. I will definitely bring you some meat when I return." Taoist Feng said with a smile.

"It's our duty...not...not hard." The two brothers replied while lying on the ground.

The group continued to move forward along the road, heading towards the nearest fairy mountain ahead.

"The location of your trial today is Sanyang Mountain. There are three paths leading up this mountain, and each path leads to a demon king's cave on the hillside. You must divide into three groups..." Taoist Feng pointed at the mountain and suddenly paused while speaking, "Oh, I seem to have forgotten to ask the headmaster for the command flag. Without the command flag, there is no way to command the demon king in the cave."

"Can't we tell the Demon King?" Zen Master Yun asked, "Anyway, you should have informed the Demon King about how to conduct the trial, right?"

"That won't work. Without the flag, the demon king won't listen to anyone's orders." Taoist Feng shook his head. "How can you break the rules of the Taoist Palace?"

Zen Master Yun said, "Then you should go quickly and come back soon. It's getting late."

"Okay." Taoist Feng turned around and returned to the cave entrance. He smiled and said, "Liu Ding'er, Liu Jia..."

The two golden-armored warriors responded in a sobbing voice, "Ah?"
