Am I the only one who didn't ascend?

Chapter 493 Biting the Hook
The ancestor mentioned by Xinhengda General Yang Jiuzhong was named Yang Tianyuan, a Mahayana True Lord who had stood on top of 200 million people a hundred years ago. There are countless legends in his life. His lifespan has been nearly 700 years, which is longer than the history of New Heng Dynasty. He has almost witnessed the growth of the entire New Heng Dynasty with his own eyes.

However, a seven-hundred-year-old cultivator, even if he has reached the realm of cultivation, cannot break through the life span. With the gate of heaven closed and mortals unable to ascend, his vitality will inevitably decline. So most of the time, he spent most of his time in seclusion in the Cave Heaven Blessed Land of Duke Wei in the north, using his Mahayana cultivation to resist the wear and tear of time.

Such an ancestor of a northerner would never take action easily unless his family was in a critical situation. However, when the Queen Mother and the General were planning a mutiny, they still took the initiative to find him, hoping that he could tell the whole story.

Yang Tianyuan did not refuse.

The area around Fancheng was the territory of the Ouchi Governor, so on the day of the imperial mutiny, Yang Tianyuan only watched from the north and did not take action. However, when Yang Jiuchong and others fell short and were forced to flee into the Qianxing Terrace in the Eastern Capital by Zhang Jincheng, the imperial master, and the jade enshrined in the Temple of Heaven was stolen by [tourists], Yang Tianyuan suddenly walked out of the cave.

Because just when the Empress Dowager and Yang Jiuzhong mobilized the entire territory to search and arrest people in the country, Yang Tianyuan realized that the tourists had probably escaped from the country long ago.

For most people in Xinheng, crossing national borders is unthinkable. Leaving the glazed net given by Heaven, there is an endless wasteland full of evil creatures, so terrifying that it is unspeakable. In the east of the wasteland, there are enemies of Heaven, who call themselves the cocoons of the Immortal Alliance.

In Xinheng's 600-year history, plus the previous dynasties, and the cumulative history of thousands of years, almost no one can survive in the wilderness for a long time without the protection of the glazed net.

Even if he is as powerful as the Mahayana Lord, he is no exception.

In fact, anyone born in Xinheng and bathed in the flawless glazed light will have the thought of "do not cross the border" in their hearts. This thought is like a deep-rooted imprint. The older they get, the more they bathe in the grace of glazed glass, the more thoughts they will have. The more unshakable it is.

For another example, even if tourists are really in the wilderness, it is still a dangerous, completely unfamiliar and extremely vast place. Even for the Mahayana Lord, searching for a tourist in the middle of nowhere who has left few reliable clues is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Although this blood sacrifice technique is obviously costly, relying on repeated blood stains and various unusual home field advantages, the visitors can always leave behind the Mahayana Lord who is far better than themselves. So much so that in the past twenty days, no matter how much Yang Tianyuan used his magical powers, he could not even see the tourist himself again. The most recent time between the two of them was more than half a day's journey.

Although he ended his retreat at the age of seven hundred and set foot in the wilderness. Almost every step is burning the remaining life span, but Yang Tianyuan knows very well that he can still afford it. For the sake of Xinheng Guozuo and the 200 million sentient beings in Mingzhou, he must also be able to afford it.

But this time, even if Yang Tianyuan looked up at Xu Yue in Jingzhou, he couldn't deduce the location of the other party. For a while, I could only use stupid methods to try to piece together the clues and complete the tracking in the land where the Blood Crow had been ravaged.

And just when people thought that the Mahayana Lord, who rarely made a move, would probably return empty-handed, he actually sent back a green letter.

Yang Tianyuan had been away for twenty days. During the whole twenty days, he only occasionally sent back a pure white sword with a white letter, which was considered safe, but no clues about the tourists were found.

At the invitation of future generations, he broke through the barrier in the cave and used the magical power of the Mahayana True Monarch. It was supposed to be a brilliant power of heaven and a crushing force, but in the end, he and others ended up in a long tug of war in the wilderness, chasing and escaping. The majestic Mahayana King seemed to be dragged into the mire, covered in mud and engaged in a war of attrition.

Facing a wasteland beast whose cultivation strength was even higher than his own, Yang Tianyuan was not determined to confront the opponent head-on. He had to avoid the edge for a while and watched the tourist holding a clear glazed lamp and hiding in a dignified manner. In Xuewu's body... When Xuewu dispersed, the tourists disappeared without a trace again.

The Mahayana Lord's methods were extraordinary after all. Even though all the tangible and intangible vitality at the scene was sucked into pieces by Xuewu, Yang Tianyuan still vaguely bit the opponent's tail, so that the pursuit battle would not be interrupted.

At this time, the only one who was confident of going to the wasteland in person and catching the tourists back was Yang Tianyuan, the Mahayana True Monarch who was born before the timeless glazed light.

However, when Yang Tianyuan seized the flaw and pounced away with thunderous force, he missed. At the critical moment, the tourist threw a ball of strange flesh and blood, which attracted the master of the nearby wasteland - Xuewu.

During this period, each of the blank letters actually carried Yang Tianyuan's deep helplessness.

Fortunately, there is no need to be too impatient in this war of attrition, time is on Yang Tianyuan's side.

The tourist seemed calm, but every time he sacrificed his flesh and blood, it would cause irreparable damage. There was no way he could last longer than Yang Tianyuan!
Finally, four days ago, I don’t know if the other party made a mistake while busy, or he finally became too weak after many blood sacrifices. At the same time, Yang Tianyuan had more or less adapted to the dangers of the wasteland... Finally, on the west bank of Feng Lake, Yang Tianyuan definitely caught There was no trace of the other party's footprints that could not be cleared away, and they followed closely all the way to the center of the lake.

There are many reasons why he can't find it. For example, Yang Tianyuan is not very sure that the tourist must have gone to the wasteland. Or maybe the other party just hid in a corner of the country with the help of the imperial master's legacy. Going to the wasteland is just a matter of course. His deliberate misleading.

So much so that most people who were born in prosperous areas will panic and palpitate just by imagining that they are out of the country. In this case, if the mysterious tourist who is a close friend of the Imperial Master really has the ability to flee to the wilderness for refuge, it will really hit the blind spot of the Xinheng people.

But on the other hand, tourists who are wary have also become more cunning. And when he steps into the wasteland, it's as if he's back on home turf, with every plant and tree available for his use. Whenever Yang Tianyuan finally relies on various clues to catch up to him, the visitor only needs to throw a special piece of flesh and blood to attract nearby powerful beasts to buy himself time.

This green letter summarized the entire process of the past twenty days: Yang Tianyuan used Jingzhou Xuyue's moon phase art to catch a ripple of the slippery fish that occasionally surfaced in the billions of voids. And followed the trail to outside the Xinheng Kingdom. Initially, he did bite the opponent's tail. The tourist obviously did not expect that he would be followed when he hid in the wilderness, nor did he expect that the person following him was actually the Mahayana Lord Yang Tianyuan. The situation was somewhat chaotic for a while, so it was full of flaws.

Therefore, in the past twenty days, Yang Tianyuan's white letters declaring futility one after another have made Yang Jiuzhong and others in the rear accustomed to it.

Then, in the middle of Fenghu Lake, he completely lost sight of the tourists. It was as if the other party had escaped into the void right here and ceased to exist. One moment, the clues were clearly in front of you, and the next moment they stopped abruptly and disappeared without a trace.

Afterwards, no matter how Yang Tianyuan tried his best, even burning his Shou Yuan further to watch Xu Yue, the conclusion he got was still confusing and even embarrassing.

The conclusion is simple and clear: after the tourist arrived at the center of Fenghu Lake, he didn’t go anywhere. But no matter how Yang Tianyuan used his five senses and spiritual consciousness to explore the surroundings, he concluded that the tourist was not here.

The two completely opposite conclusions made Yang Tianyuan fall into confusion for a long time. It was not until he witnessed a deformed swimming fish in Feng Lake that he was swallowed by a larger fish that he suddenly woke up.

It turns out that the conclusion is this simple: the tourist has died in Fenghu.

So of course it’s not going anywhere, but it doesn’t exist here either.

This result can be said to be reasonable: no matter how familiar the tourist is with the wasteland, the wasteland is still an extremely dangerous place. Even the immortal officials in heaven are rarely willing to stay in the wasteland for a long time, let alone mortals? Although tourists can drive wild beasts to a certain extent, they have to pay an extremely heavy price every time. And Feng Lake is the place where the wild beasts are the most active and the intelligence is the most disordered within a few hundred miles of the surrounding area. He hid in Fenghu with all his trauma and exhaustion. He was already walking on the edge of life and death, so why would it be strange if he accidentally died here in one move?

After that, Yang Tianyuan once again relied on Jingzhou Xuyue to use Dayan's technique to calculate the life and death of tourists. The results given by the moon phase basically confirmed his guess. The tourist is indeed dead, and this chase has ended here...

However, in this case, another problem arises: Yang Tianyuan is chasing tourists not for the tourists themselves, but for the Seal Star Baoyu in his hand.

The jade is a national treasure that is usually enshrined in the Temple of Heaven in Fancheng. It is covered with layers of institutional restrictions and many tracking techniques. It's just that when the tourists stole the Baoyu, they used secret techniques to hide the Baoyu's whereabouts - otherwise, the other party would be able to locate him naturally as long as they track the Baoyu.

But this concealment technique is not omnipotent. Generally speaking, only by using oneself as a container and using a special physique can it be possible to block Fancheng's pursuit. However, now that the tourist is dead, this shielding should have expired long ago... So why can't Baoyu's whereabouts still be traced?

There are only two possibilities. One is that after the tourists were swallowed by the strange beasts that appeared around Feng Lake, the jade also entered the belly of the strange beasts. And that alien beast has a special physique that can perfectly block Fancheng's tracking... Although this matter sounds a bit far-fetched, but it is located in Feng Lake, and no one dares to say what kind of evil things have been brewing in this deep lake. What's more, the water of Fenghu Lake itself also has a great shielding effect.

So what Yang Tianyuan has to do next is to dig three feet into the ground in Feng Lake and the surrounding area to find out and disembowel the strange beast that swallowed up the precious jade. And as long as the other party is not an ancestral beast from the primitive era, then even if he deliberately hides it, in this land illuminated by the virtual moon, with his cultivation to the Mahayana realm, he will be able to dig it out sooner or later... all he needs is one. A little bit of time.

Second, the tourist destroyed the jade before his death... This possibility does exist.

For Zhang Jincheng, the best situation is of course to use external forces to open the star platform with Seal Star Baoyu, then escape from the encirclement of a hundred thousand troops, and then combine internal and external forces to turn the tables step by step. But if it is impossible, then destroying the jade on the spot would be better than letting it fall into the hands of the Queen Mother.

As long as there is no precious jade, no matter how many thousands of troops and how many Mahayana the Queen Mother and her party mobilize, they will never be able to open the high platform built by the immortals... let alone tell the heaven about Xinheng's surrender.

There are only three channels for the voices of the mortal world to reach heaven. The Imperial Master himself spoke, the Dongdu Qianxingtai method was used...and the last secret method hidden in the Seal Star Baoyu. Now that Zhang Jincheng has sealed himself in the Qianxing Platform, it is almost equivalent to blocking all the roads to reach Tianting. No matter how loyal the Queen Mother and her party are to Heaven, they cannot get a moment's attention from Heaven.

And without the power of heaven, it would be impossible to break the current deadlock. And if the deadlock continues... time is obviously not on the Queen Mother's side, at least, not necessarily on the Queen Mother's side. And not necessarily three words, it is undoubtedly the opportunity of the national teacher.

Therefore, when the tourists judge that it is really difficult for them to escape, let alone take Baoyu back to Dongdu to rescue the imperial master... it is a wise decision to destroy Baoyu on the spot.

"Oh, so my ancestor's green letter can only be read as a red letter."

After reading the letter, Yang Wuyi couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

Yang Jiuzhong said: "At least we killed the most powerful confidant of the Imperial Preceptor, which is worthy of a green letter. With that person around, we will always face the risk of the worst situation. How could that person be there in the first place? Among the thousands of troops, he sneaked into the Temple of Heaven to steal the jade. If he is given enough time and resources, he will penetrate the seal formation composed of a hundred thousand troops. "

Yang Wuyi was a little unbelievable, but he did not distinguish with his brother on such minutiae. He just asked: "So, what should we do now? When the ancestor comes back from digging for treasures in Feng Lake, ask him to drop by Dongdu and try with the manager. Join forces to break the ban on Qianxingtai?"

Yang Jiuzhong said: "The ancestor will probably not come back. He went out for twenty days this time and consumed a lot of money. No matter what the final outcome is, he must return to the northern cave to retreat as soon as possible. Moreover, from Fenghu to Fan There is no easy way to go to Chengdu or Dongdu, so there is really no reason for the old man to make a special detour."

Speaking of this, Yang Jiuzhong suddenly paused. There seemed to be a faint flash of light in his mind, but he couldn't capture it for the moment.

Yang Wuyi caught it clearly, and his eyes turned cold in an instant.

"Fenghu... is not far from Liuyan City. And the time is almost right. The tourist died, Baoyu disappeared, and then Li Fengxian personally led two thousand troops to camp in a remote place..."

Yang Jiuzhong instantly ignited his anger again: "What a bold traitor! I will smash him to pieces right now!"

Yang Wuyi quickly stopped him and said: "Second brother, please calm down. This matter is just my far-fetched conjecture without any solid evidence. Under such circumstances, it is really not worth the gain to rashly attack the star army coach. And even if he really has a relationship with that Baoyu If he is involved, there may not be room for negotiation. That person is selfish and greedy by nature. As long as he is given the right medicine and promised prosperity, he may not be able to hand over the treasure jade. After all, what use can the treasure jade be in the hands of his Nascent Soul? ?”

When Yang Jiuzhong was about to speak but stopped, Yang Wuyi had already surrendered his hand and asked for a fight: "Second brother, you might as well send me to Sang County to have a try. No matter what conspiracies Li Fengxian has, I am confident to break them one by one, and then take Baoyu Take him back to Dongdu! He was not as good as me back then, and he is no match for me now!”

Yang Jiuzhong pondered for a long time, and then nodded solemnly: "Okay, you will have full authority to handle the matter in Sang County!"
