Taiping Inn

Western Capital.

Ever since Tan Taiyun returned from Liaodong after his defeat, he has been in seclusion in Wuxu Palace. In the huge Wuxu Palace, there is no one else except Tan Taiyun.

This is Tan Taiyun's attitude.

She took the initiative to close Wuxu Palace, refusing anyone to enter, and did not need anyone's help.

The two tightly closed doors of Wuxu Palace were engraved with dense inscriptions and talismans, and in the center was a coiled dragon with a pearl in its mouth.

Today is the day when Tan Taiyun came out of seclusion.

Many people from the Wudao Sect were waiting outside Wuxu Palace. Except for Zuo Zun and Tanlang Wang who were far away in the Western Regions, other important figures had already arrived, including palace officials and Huangfu Yuxiu.

At this time, the various talismans on the stone door began to gradually disappear, and the pearl in the dragon's mouth became brighter and brighter, with brilliant colors and scattered light.

The edge of the gate of Wuxu Palace suddenly became bright, as if it was inlaid with a layer of dazzling gold edges, making it impossible to look directly at it, as if there was an infinite light hidden behind the door.

Tan Taiyun, who was standing in the front, narrowed his eyes. Huangfu Yuxiu, on the other hand, tried his best to open his eyes wide, and because of the strong light, tears kept flowing from his eyes.

The light behind the gate became brighter and brighter. In the eyes of the palace officials, the entire Wuxu Palace was completely submerged in the light, turning into a dim afterimage that could only be vaguely seen.

There seemed to be a scorching sun hidden behind the palace door, which was about to rise slowly.

In this almost endless light, the coiled dragon with a pearl in its mouth seemed to come alive and swam away quickly, as if the big lock originally hung on the door was opened by someone.

The two palace doors began to open slowly inch by inch.

These lights did not come from Wuxu Palace itself, but from Tan Taiyun in Wuxu Palace, which meant that Tan Taiyun had taken a step further towards the path of human immortality.

Because of the hidden dangers in her early years, Tan Taiyun stopped at the realm of immortality. If she wanted to go further, she could only choose to switch from the earthly immortal path to the human immortal path. The reason why she had not completely switched to the human immortal path was because the "Tai Su Xuan Gong" of the earthly immortal path still had a great effect. If she completely gave up the earthly immortal path, she would also lose this magical power. Therefore, at this time, she could not completely abandon the earthly immortal path.

When the endless light dissipated, there was a straight passage inside the door, and there was no end in sight. On the left and right sides of the passage, there were six identical golden armored gods, a total of twelve, all standing with swords, like a copper wall and iron wall guarding this place, preventing outsiders from entering.

The auras of the twelve golden armored gods are connected as one, and various talismans flow on the surface of their bodies. They are powerful, and each of them can almost be compared with the great masters of the realm of heaven and man, and are not inferior to the warriors of the same realm. If the twelve people join forces to form a formation, the power is unimaginable. I am afraid that they can also fight against the great masters of the realm of heaven and man. Or it can be said that these twelve golden men were originally cast to deal with the great masters of the realm of heaven and man.

This inevitably reminds people of a legend that is unknown whether it is true or false. The ancestor dragon swept the six directions, melted the sword and cast the twelve golden men. However, as the ancestor dragon palace was burned down by the Overlord, the twelve golden men disappeared. Thousands of years later, they became a legend that is unknown whether it is true or false.

However, only the golden men were seen, but not the figure of Tan Taiyun.

Although the people waiting outside the Wuxu Palace were puzzled, no one spoke and chose to continue waiting.

A moment later, a woman appeared alone in the depths of the palace. She looked about thirty years old, with a graceful figure, elegant and graceful, like a beauty in a painting, and her demeanor was no less than that of a palace official. Her face faintly revealed a crystal luster, like a piece of unpolished jade, crystal clear, it was Tan Taiyun.

Ever since Tan Taiyun took over the position of the leader of the Wudao Sect from Song Zheng, she has never shown her face as a woman, and is very mysterious. Even in the Wudao Sect, only a very few people have seen Tan Taiyun's true face. So much so that Li Xuandu didn't know that the dignified Saint Tan Taiyun was a woman at first.

Today, Tan Taiyun no longer wears men's clothes or wide robes that largely eliminate gender characteristics, but wears a woman's outfit for the first time, as if she doesn't want to be mysterious or hide her identity. However, compared with ordinary women, Tan Taiyun's expression does not have the weakness of a woman, but only majesty and strength.

Everyone saluted the empress together.

Tan Taiyun did not speak, but waved his hand, indicating that everyone was exempt from the ceremony.

As the right venerable, the palace official was second only to the sect master and the left venerable. At this time, the left venerable was not there, so the palace official was the venerable.

The palace official stepped forward and told Tan Taiyun about the recent major events in the shortest words.

Speaking of the recent major events, it was naturally the joint efforts of the Confucian and Taoist schools to eliminate the people of the Demonic Path. In order to track down the traces of the people of the Demonic Path, the two schools mobilized countless manpower and material resources. Such a big movement naturally could not be concealed from anyone, not to mention that the Confucian and Taoist schools did not intend to conceal it.

After listening to the report of the palace official, Tan Taiyun had no expression on his face, but just nodded slightly, indicating that he knew.

Long before Li Xuandu, Tan Taiyun had already known the existence of this group of people, but he felt that it was too difficult, so he did not move. Now is a great opportunity.

In essence, Tan Taiyun is a person who holds grudges. The death of Song Zheng and the defeat of the Great Wilderness Northern Palace are just new grudges and old hatreds. If she starts from her own interests, her last trip to Liaodong, which was almost out of anger, made her pay a huge price. Although she has recovered from her injuries after this period of seclusion, her realm cultivation is inevitably damaged. She also needs some external forces to make up for it. It just so happens that the clam and the crane fight, and the fisherman benefits.

Tan Taiyun whispered a few words and disappeared in a flash.

Xijing is located in Qinzhou, which is adjacent to Shuzhou, so the distance between Xijing and Nanjiang is not far, especially for a person who has lived for eternity.

…

In the Nether Valley, Yao Xianglian sat alone, in a trance.

After the big dream just now, she felt that she seemed to be a little different. She always thought of the great wizard who was plotted against in the dream, and even had an illusion that she was actually the great wizard, which made her confused and unable to control herself.

Although Yao Xianglian had a bad temperament, she was quite talented and naturally knew the story of Nanhua Daojun's dream of a butterfly.

In the past, Nanhua dreamed of being a butterfly, a butterfly that fluttered. I felt happy and contented! I didn't know it was Nanhua. Suddenly I woke up, and it was Nanhua. I don't know if Nanhua dreamed of being a butterfly? Did the butterfly dream of being Nanhua? Nanhua and the butterfly must be different. This is called materialization.

Shi Zongxi came to Yao Xianglian and asked softly, "What are you thinking about?"

Yao Xianglian suddenly came back to her senses and said, "I'm thinking about the story of Nanhua dreaming of a butterfly."

Shi Zongxi was slightly startled, and then said, "Nanhua Daojun dreamed that he turned into a butterfly, and he was at ease, not knowing that he was Nanhua Daojun. Suddenly he woke up from the dream, but it was Nanhua Daojun lying stiffly on the bed. I don't know if Nanhua Daojun dreamed of turning into a butterfly, or if the butterfly dreamed of turning into Nanhua Daojun? There must be a difference between Nanhua Daojun and the butterfly. This is the way that the Tao sometimes turns into Nanhua Daojun and sometimes turns into a butterfly. This is a famous allusion in Taoism. Why did you suddenly think of this story?"

Yao Xianglian hesitated, not knowing whether to tell Shi Zongxi what she saw in her dream.

Just when Yao Xianglian made up her mind to tell Shi Zongxi everything, Shi Zongxi's face suddenly changed and turned his head to look.

She felt a great momentum, as if thousands of troops were galloping across the world, destroying everything in their path, slaughtering cities and destroying the land, sweeping across the wilderness, killing all living beings, and turning the world into a sea of ​​blood. It was completely different from the momentum of the earthly immortals who embraced the universe and merged with the world to become the center of the world.

In addition to Shi Zongxi, Tang Wan, Qi Yinbing, Ji Shuye and others also felt this great will.

Facing this fierce will of those who obey me will prosper and those who disobey me will perish, Shi Zongxi felt a chill all over her body. She wanted to resist, but a sense of fear suddenly arose in her heart, which made her mind waver.

Looking at Tang Wan, Qi Yinbing, Ji Shuye and others, they were not much better. Others were even worse.

This kind of preemptive means is unique to human immortals. The fist intention arrives before the person arrives.

Human immortals restrain ghost immortals, blood restrains magic, and the fist intention can greatly oppress the minds of others.

The momentum alone can shake the minds of a group of masters in the realm of heaven and man. The person who came must be in the realm of immortality. There are only a handful of immortals today, and most of them will not appear here. The only exception is...

Shi Zongxi reacted very quickly and squeezed out three words from between his teeth: "Dan...Tai...Yun."

She never thought that Tan Taiyun would suddenly come here before the Five Demons were solved. It was really beyond her expectations.

At this moment, Shi Zongxi noticed with the corner of her eye that Yao Xianglian, who was not far away, was not affected at all.

Could it be that people without cultivation would not be affected?

However, Shi Zongxi immediately gave up this idea. The human immortal is the ultimate in martial arts, which means to prove the truth with force. It is simple and direct, without so many twists and turns. Besides, Tan Taiyun has no reason to do this.

Not only that, Yao Xianglian also seems to have become a different person.

Although Yao Xianglian's appearance was still the same, her demeanor had changed a lot. The original Yao Xianglian was bright and elegant, with a bit of frailty, but after this big change, she was still a bit pitiful. At this time, Yao Xianglian exuded a bit of elegance, like a famous scholar, but her eyes were extremely deep, flashing with a strange light, making her mysterious and gloomy.

Yao Xianglian slowly stood up and uttered a strange syllable.

Her voice was low, although it was not hoarse and unpleasant, but it didn't sound like a young woman in her twenties at all, but like an older woman.

After Yao Xianglian uttered this syllable, Shi Zongxi suddenly felt that her body was lighter, and the pressure of the human immortal fist disappeared in an instant.

Then she was surprised to see Yao Xianglian began to stride forward. With every step, her body would become a little bigger, and in a moment, she had transformed into a height of dozens of feet.

The law of heaven and earth!
