Ding Ding Little Stone
Chapter 647 Reaching the Heavens!
Ling Xu Daoist directly refused with a grave expression.
The Zhuxian Sword?
That was the supreme immortal weapon of Mount Shu, passed down from the first Shu Mountain Sword Immortal. In terms of grade, it was no weaker than the Zhenwu Sword of Wudang Mountain.
Moreover, it was the symbol of Mount Shu, so how could they give it to Chen Yuan?
That was absolutely impossible.
"Then there is nothing to talk about. Daoist Ling Xu, to be honest, apart from the Zhuxian Sword and the Demon God Flower, there is really nothing in the entire Mount Shu that Chen is interested in.
Even if Chen Yuan obtained the Zhuxian Sword, he would give it to Jiang He."
Chen Yuan used a saber instead of a sword. Although he could exert great power, it was still not as handy as it was for Jiang He. With his sword intent, if he cooperated with the Zhuxian Sword, he could even contend against an unmatched True Lord.
Daoist Ling Xu frowned and asked again:
"Can't we change the condition? Within Mount Shu, we have a large amount of Yuan Crystals, natural treasures that can temper the body, and several divine weapons, even treasures that can assist in enlightenment. Could it be..."
Chen Yuan smiled faintly:
"Since Daoist Ling Xu knows that Chen comes from the Dao God Palace, then... do you think I would lack these things?"
Of course, he lacked these things very much, but compared to the Demon God Flower, he did not lack them. However, he could not say that. He believed... Daoist Ling Xu would agree to his conditions.
He had once heard a story that if you only wanted to open a window, people would try their best to stop you. But if you said you wanted to tear off the roof, they would agree to open the window.
Now, it was the same.
He knew that Daoist Ling Xu would not be willing to part with the Zhuxian Sword, but he insisted that Daoist Ling Xu make a choice between the two. He would definitely choose the lesser of two evils. As for not choosing either, it was even more impossible.
Because Daoist Ling Xu would definitely think that if he failed to win him over, then he would take the opportunity to snatch it later, adding a powerful opponent for nothing.
Daoist Ling Xu was silent for a long time, looking at Chen Yuan and saying:
"You want to use the Demon God Flower to further enhance your physical body, right?"
"That's right."
"What if this poor Daoist tells you that the Demon God Flower is actually useless for the physical body?"
"Then I still want it."
"Fellow Daoist Lin Mo, this condition of yours has really stumped this poor Daoist..."
"Chen believes that fellow Daoist can make the right choice." Chen Yuan looked at the old Taoist priest with a smile, putting pressure on him. Wanting the horse to run, but not giving it grass, how could that work?
"Alright, since Fellow Daoist Lin Mo insists, then this poor Daoist will agree to your condition. However, agreeing is agreeing, Fellow Daoist Lin Mo must also agree to one thing, otherwise... this poor Daoist will not give up the Demon God Flower."
Daoist Ling Xu finally compromised.
Chen Yuan's expression turned serious, and he said in a deep voice:
"Please speak, Daoist."
"The Demon God Flower does indeed have a miraculous effect on the physical body, because it is a supreme treasure condensed by chance after the Demon God fell. This poor Daoist also wants to further enhance his physical body.
However, since fellow Daoist insists on having it, this poor Daoist can only give in, but only one step. The Demon God Flower can be given to you, but the spiritual crystal formed under its roots must be given to this poor Daoist."
Daoist Ling Xu said very resolutely.
"What is the use of the spiritual crystal?"
Chen Yuan asked.
"The Shu Mountain Ancestor who suppressed the Demon God in those years once said that this flower condenses part of the Demon God's power, and there may be a power of rules. This poor Daoist wants to use it to comprehend a little.
However, it is only a possibility, not a certainty. This poor Daoist has never really placed his hopes on it, but now he has no choice but to agree."
"The power of rules, Chen also needs it..."
"If Fellow Daoist Lin Mo wants to possess the entire Demon God Flower, then this poor Daoist absolutely cannot agree."
Daoist Ling Xu shook his head.
"If this thing is used for comprehension, will it be consumed?"
"Unknown."
"How about this, if there are two spiritual crystals under the Demon God Flower, you and I will share them equally. If there is only one, you and I will comprehend it together, how about that?" Chen Yuan did not want to miss the opportunity for nothing.
If the spiritual crystal really had the hope of comprehending the rules, then his strength would instantly usher in a surge. He did not want to miss it.
"This..."
"Daoist's realm is much higher than Chen's. Are you afraid that a junior like me will take advantage?" Chen Yuan asked.
Daoist Ling Xu frowned, seemingly making a difficult decision. After a long time, he finally said:
"Alright, then we will do as you say."
"The great battle is approaching. Chen wants to take the Demon God Flower first and use it to enhance his strength, so that he can better deal with the invading enemies. What does Daoist Ling Xu think?"
The demon clan powerhouse was approaching, and Chen Yuan had to increase his strength to the strongest moment, so that he could have the strength to deal with it. Otherwise, the battle of True Lords would indeed be very dangerous for him.
"The Demon God Flower is probably not yet ripe."
Daoist Ling Xu hesitated.
"It's not a matter of a few days, it's better than being snatched away by others in a few days."
"The demon clan's strength in the Demon Suppressing Tower is not weak. The strongest is the Demon Saint of the Crimson Nether Blood Tiger clan. His strength is not much weaker than this poor Daoist, and he leads thousands of demon clans on the ninth floor of the Demon Suppressing Tower. Forcibly breaking in is not a wise move."
"Who said I was going to force my way in?"
Chen Yuan chuckled.
"You..."
"Daoist, don't forget what name Chen is known by in the Jianghu?" Chen Yuan was calm and composed, smiling faintly. He could transform into the Qilin Demon.
Apart from being in human form, at first glance, he was definitely not considered a human.
There was a good chance of deceiving the demon clan's investigation.
"It seems that Fellow Daoist Lin Mo has already planned everything." Daoist Ling Xu stared deeply at Chen Yuan.
"What does Daoist think?"
"Alright, then we will do as you say. At that time, this poor Daoist will guard you. If there is any danger, you can send a message to this poor Daoist." Daoist Ling Xu weighed the pros and cons and felt that this matter was feasible.
It was better to take it out sooner rather than later.
"Alright, then it's settled."
"Mm..."
Daoist Ling Xu sighed softly:
"Then I will have to trouble the three fellow Daoists."
"Three?"
Chen Yuan raised an eyebrow.
Looking at Chen Yuan's expression, Daoist Ling Xu frowned, vaguely sensing an ominous premonition, and said:
"The reason why this poor Daoist is willing to give up the Demon God Flower is that I hope that the three True Lords of the Dao God Palace will come out together. Only in this way can we have a chance of winning. Does Fellow Daoist Lin Mo have other plans?"
"This time, only Jiang He and I came to Mount Shu. The Lord of Shura is not in the Central Plains now." Chen Yuan said after careful consideration.
"What?"
Daoist Ling Xu was stunned for a moment. The reason why he was willing to give up the Demon God Flower was because he valued the Shura Demon Lord, who was ranked in the top five of the Supreme Heaven Ranking and had shocked the capital city in a battle.
Only top powerhouses could possess decisive power. If he relied on only two ordinary True Lords, it would not greatly increase the strength of the Shu Mountain side.
"It's still not too late to send a message to ask Fellow Daoist Shura to come."
Daoist Ling Xu looked at Chen Yuan with hope in his eyes.
But Chen Yuan smiled bitterly in his heart. The Shura Demon Lord was his vest, no, to be exact, it was a vest for both him and Senior Mo Luo! Without Mo Luo's possession, he could not exert the strength of the Yang God pinnacle at all.
And now, Mo Luo was still in a deep sleep, showing no signs of waking up. Naturally, Chen Yuan would not disturb his cultivation at this juncture. He then said:
"Fellow Daoist Shura has been in seclusion overseas for many days. Even if we send a message, it will be too late."
"If that's the case... then this poor Daoist cannot agree to Fellow Daoist Lin Mo's conditions." Ling Xu valued only the Shura Demon Lord. Although Chen Yuan and Jiang He also had the strength to be ranked in the top 30 of the Supreme Ranking, they were still not enough to pay the price of the Demon God Flower.
Chen Yuan's eyes flickered. He was determined to get the Demon God Flower, and the only option at present was to start from Mount Shu. By the time the demon clan attacked, it would probably be too late.
The opponent would not sit idly by and watch him snatch the Demon God Flower.
Seeing Chen Yuan's contemplative appearance, Daoist Ling Xu knew that he still had a trump card, so he did not disturb him, but silently waited for Chen Yuan's answer.
"What if Chen can still invite an unparalleled True Lord who is ranked in the top ten of the Supreme Ranking?"
"This..."
Ling Xu hesitated at this moment.
"As long as you give me the Demon God Flower, Chen can further enhance his physical body in a short period of time. It may be difficult to match an unparalleled True Lord, but there is still hope of reaching the top 20 or even the top 15."
Chen Yuan directly added weight.
"The Dao God Palace actually has four True Lords. It's unbelievable." Daoist Ling Xu took a deep breath. Even among the top ten immortal sects, only the Western Region Spiritual Mountain had four True Lords standing side by side on the surface.
The other immortal sects had at most two or three, or even the declining Goddess Palace, which only had the Goddess Palace Master active on the surface.
"Chen's helper is not the Dao Lord of the Dao God Palace. What does Daoist think?"
"Alright, but I wonder who Fellow Daoist Lin Mo's helper is. Is he really willing to come and help Mount Shu?" Daoist Ling Xu asked Chen Yuan with some curiosity.
Chen Yuan then took out a jade talisman that exuded a white light.
This was the stake that Daoist Tianxu of the Tai Xu Palace had placed on him when he left the capital city, but he had never had the opportunity to use it. He had been thinking of using it as a trump card.
He even avoided contact with the Biyou Palace, thinking of waiting until he unified the Shu Prefecture and then using this favor to have the Biyou Palace help him get rid of the Prince Zhennan and then annex the Nan Prefecture.
But now, for the sake of the Demon God Flower, he had to use it.
Although Chen Huaiyi of the Qisha Hall could also be used, the brand on his body was too obvious, and people would guess that his true identity was the Chu Jiang King of the Qisha Hall who had appeared before.
And he was an important step for Chen Yuan to deal with the Qisha Hall and annex the Blood Prefecture in the future.
Comparing the two, he decided to use this jade talisman. If the Biyou Palace was unwilling, then he would take the risk and invite Chen Huaiyi to come to the Shu Prefecture.
Without showing sincerity, the old Taoist priest Ling Xu would definitely not let him take out the Demon God Flower in advance.
"This is... the letter talisman of the Biyou Palace?"
As the head teacher of Mount Shu, Daoist Ling Xu had naturally seen the letter talisman of the neighboring Biyou Palace, but he did not expect Chen Yuan's connections to be so extensive that he was also involved with the Biyou Palace...
The Dao God Palace, the Biyou Palace, plus Chen Yuan's current power and reputation, it seemed that in the future... there was really an opportunity to take advantage of the situation and compete for hegemony in the Central Plains.
"The person Chen wants to invite is Zhao Danqing, the head teacher True Lord of the Biyou Palace, who is ranked eleventh on the Heaven Ranking!"
Chen Yuan said in a deep voice.
One of the reasons why he took out this jade talisman was to subtly express his connection with the Biyou Palace. It might have a miraculous effect if he wanted to win over Mount Shu in the future.
"Alright, if Head Teacher Zhao takes action, this poor Daoist can agree to your conditions."
Zhao Danqing was not ranked in the top ten of the Supreme Ranking and had a considerable gap with the Shura True Lord, who was ranked in the top five of the Supreme Ranking. But this was only on the surface. In fact, the only reason why Zhao Danqing was not ranked in the top ten of the Supreme Ranking was that he had only taken action once since he entered the Yang God Realm. In the following hundred years, he had no chance to take action again.
But this was still ranked eleventh on the Supreme Ranking, which showed his strength. No matter how weak he was, he would definitely have the strength to be ranked in the top ten of the Supreme Ranking.
Moreover, as the head teacher of the Biyou Palace, his foundation was extraordinary. In terms of methods, Daoist Ling Xu believed that Zhao Danqing would definitely not be inferior to him.
"This matter is temporarily settled. Tomorrow morning, I hope that Fellow Daoist Ling Xu can help me enter the Demon Suppressing Tower to retrieve the flower." The earlier he left, the sooner he could improve his strength.
"Alright!"
......
......
Leaving the Taiji Hall, Chen Yuan saw Bai Changqing guarding at the door. The two chatted for a while, and Chen Yuan was invited by him into the front hall specially built by Mount Shu.
Originally, Chen Yuan had planned to meet Daoist Ling Xu and then catch up with Bai Changqing, and learn more about the Demon Suppressing Tower, and then plan for the Demon God Flower.
However, Daoist Ling Xu judged his identity through the image left by Jiang He, and finally reached a series of transactions. The original plan had to be changed.
Now, he was not in the mood to catch up. It would not be too late to catch up after Mount Shu repelled the invading demon clan.
Bai Changqing left slightly disappointed, while Chen Yuan quickly picked up the Different Treasure Heavenly Book and contacted Jiang He, who was hiding outside Mount Shu. The first thing he said was:
"Old Jiang... we've been exposed."
Jiang He was silent for a moment, and replied, "What's going on..."
"The image of the Liangshan battle was seen by Ling Xu, who guessed that you were the Heavenly Sword Dao Lord, and then deduced that I was the Lin Mo True Lord."
This was definitely careless, allowing the image to spread.
I believe that Teacher Chen had the same idea back then. No wonder they all share the same surname...
The only thing that made him better than Teacher Chen was that Daoist Ling Xu did not spread the matter, there was still room for maneuver, and he also reached conditions that were more favorable to him.
"I've burdened you. What did True Lord Ling Xu say?" Jiang He sighed softly. The symbols on his body were indeed too obvious. It was reasonable for True Lord Ling Xu to recognize him.
"This matter is actually good news for us. He agreed to my request. The condition is..." Chen Yuan told Jiang He about today's conversation.
As he expected, when he said that the demon clan in the Southern Border wanted to invade Mount Shu and destroy the Demon Suppressing Tower, Jiang He immediately said his answer without hesitation.
He said that even if there was no such request, he would help at that time.
In the face of human righteousness, he would not hesitate and would definitely draw his sword. This was his sword path. In addition, Mount Shu had once given him some guidance.
These favors also had to be repaid.
Chen Yuan had actually anticipated this, so he agreed to Ling Xu's request. It was just that the situation was more mutually beneficial. He got what he wanted, and Mount Shu also got its strong support.
He actually had another question at the time, which was, if he had not come to Mount Shu, who would Daoist Ling Xu have invited, or would he have used the foundation of Mount Shu?
However, after weighing it for a moment, he did not ask.
Because he understood that even if he asked, Daoist Ling Xu would probably not say.
"If that's the case, then there's nothing to hide. I will go to Mount Shu later and meet Senior Ling Xu." Jiang He replied.
"Alright, but remember to hide your identity. Perhaps there are demon clan spies around or even within Mount Shu." Chen Yuan reminded.
This was what Daoist Ling Xu had said to him before he left.
Chen Yuan naturally had to remind him. Even when the great battle came, 'Chen Yuan' would not show up, or even leave in advance, while the 'Lin Mo True Lord of the Dao God Palace' would stay to resist the powerful enemies.
"Mm."
After cutting off the connection, Chen Yuan stared at the jade talisman that exuded white light in his hand. A wisp of divine thought enveloped it and activated it. In an instant, a mirror-like surface appeared in front of him.
Nan Prefecture, Tongtian Mountain.
This mountain was the highest mountain in the Nan Prefecture and even the three prefectures of the entire Nan Prefecture. It was over ten thousand zhang high and occupied an area of over a hundred miles. As such, it was revered as 'Tongtian'.
The Yuan Qi here was rich, and there were countless rare birds and animals. It was an excellent blessed land, but no one dared to occupy it, because the top forces in the Nan Prefecture and the surrounding prefectures all knew that this place was the location of one of the top ten immortal sects, the Biyou Palace.
The Biyou Palace rarely had disciples entering or leaving the Jianghu, but it could not be said to be completely hidden from the world. It was almost half-hidden. That was, many people knew the mountain gate of the Biyou Palace, but the mountain gate was tightly closed, and few people came out.
The last time someone from the Biyou Palace walked out of Tongtian Mountain was when the contemporary disciple Dao Xuansheng went to the East Sea to participate in the Ascension to Immortals battle. After the battle, Dao Xuansheng quickly disappeared and returned to the mountain gate.
At the top of Tongtian Mountain, the cold wind raged and roared.
An ancient stone tablet stood on the flat ground, with the words... Biyou written on it.
The two words were vigorous and imposing, and were the entrance to the Biyou Palace secret realm.
Inside the Biyou Palace secret realm.
This place was different from ordinary secret realms. It was actually a boundless sea area. In the center of the sea area was a magnificent island, which was the true mountain gate of the Biyou Palace, Tongtian Island!
At the edge of the island, a young Taoist priest held a jade slip and savored the principles within it. He also held a fishing rod in his hand and was lazily leaning against a rock, fishing.
The Taoist priest had his long hair tied up in a bun, wore a light green Taoist robe, and had nothing on him. He had an extraordinary bearing. He did not look like a high-level cultivator, but rather like a worldly scholar.
His face was handsome, and he had no beard under his chin, but his eyes had a sense of vicissitudes, as if he had seen through the affairs of the world. He was Zhao Danqing, the head teacher of the Biyou Palace, who was ranked eleventh on the Heaven Ranking.
While he was savoring the principles of the jade slip, he seemed to sense something. A flash of light appeared in his hand, and an ancient bronze mirror appeared in his hand.
A figure appeared inside, and it was Chen Yuan.
Zhao Danqing stared at the person for a moment, raising an eyebrow as if he was a little surprised. Chen Yuan's voice came from inside:
"Chen Yuan of Qing Prefecture, greetings, Head Teacher Zhao."
"So it's Marquis Wu'an, haha... This poor Daoist thought you would not use that jade talisman." Zhao Danqing seemed to have expected this and said with a faint smile.
"It seems that Head Teacher Zhao knew about this in advance."
Chen Yuan was not surprised and just said it casually.
"That old guy Tianxu told me about it before. What's wrong? Could it be that Marquis Wu'an has encountered some difficulties?"
