Several days later, Xu Que and Ryu Jingning left the Mystery Land and headed for the nearest Teleportation Site.
According to Xu Que's plan, he would go back to the East Continent to find Dong Genji and ask him for the ancient books. Then, he would find a way to rescue Jiang Hongyan.
However, in the past few days, they had heard rumors and received countless shocking news!
The first was that Dong Genji had gone to sea.
Dong Genji had revealed some shocking news to the Patriarchs of the big families and sects, which had attracted many Patriarchs to the Infinite Sea outside the North Sea.
Some said that a primordial treasure had appeared in that place, some said that they were there to welcome a great figure, and some said that a great change had occurred in that place, and that a disaster was coming!
"Holy sh * t! I shouldn't have let him go. Now he has escaped to the Infinite Sea with the Patriarchs of the big families and sects. It will be difficult to catch him!" Xu Que was annoyed.
However, he had no other choice. If he hadn't let Dong Genji go, he would have fought to the death. "Don't worry.
Anyway, the only thing we can be sure is that something big happened in the Infinite Sea. It must be a big deal since so many Patriarchs have come here. Maybe Jiyue Buddhism is also involved. Let's go back to the East Continent and ask about Jiyue Buddhism. Maybe we can figure it out! "Ryu Jingning said calmly.
Xu Que nodded. No matter what, he had to go back to the East Continent. If he couldn't get the ancient books, he would try to break into the Ancient Bronze Hall.
They stepped into the Teleportation Device together. After putting in the best-grade Spirit Stones, they went to the East Continent directly.
The tearing force of this giant Teleportation Device was very strong. In the blink of an eye, they had crossed the void. However, one month had passed in the outside world.
One month had passed.
When Xu Que and Ryu Jingning walked out of the Teleportation Device in the East Continent, the news about the whereabouts of the Patriarchs of the big families and sects had spread like wildfire.
There were still many theories, but they were basically people's guesses and rumors. They all sounded very reliable, but no one could confirm which one was correct!
Xu Que wasted no time. After coming out of the Teleportation Portal, he went to Jiyue Buddhism with Ryu Jingning!
As the Holy Virgin of Jiyue Buddhism, Ryu Jingning had a high status. It was not a problem for her to find out why the Patriarch was going to the Endless Sea Realm!
Along the way, after taking quite a few small-scale teleportation arrays, the two of them finally arrived outside a large mountain!
The headquarters of Jiyue Buddhism was located in this huge valley!
This place was a natural treasure trove. The surrounding terrain was steep, and the surrounding forest was shrouded in a miasma array all year round. Ordinary people did not dare to approach at all!
After passing through the miasma forest, one would have to leap over a steep river. Cultivators could use their magic tools to cross over, but there were several ferocious beasts at the bottom of the river. They could jump out at any moment and swallow cultivators like food!
However, for the disciples of Jiyue Buddhism, these things were useless!
When Ryu Jingning took out a token, a mountain path appeared in the forest, leading directly to the top of the mountain!
Xu Que teased, "It seems the security measures of Jiyue Buddhism are not good enough! You have so many tricks up your sleeves! However, I am sure you can't withstand one punch from me!"
Ryu Jingning rolled her eyes at him angrily. "That depends on whether you are willing to be generous and give us a Spiritual Level Spell of Jiyue Buddhism!"
The Mountain Defense Spell of Jiyue Buddhism was an advanced Spell of the Spiritual Level, which they had paid a huge price for.
This kind of Spell could only block hundreds of attacks from cultivators at the Void Training Stage. However, it was useless in front of powerhouses at the Form Synthesis Stage!
Back then, Xu Que had casually used an Advanced Spell Array outside the Celestial Burial Valley. He had also claimed to have an even more advanced Spiritual Spell Array, which had left a deep impression on her.
If Xu Que was willing to give Jiyue Buddhism a Spiritual Level Spell of the Spiritual Level, Jiyue Buddhism would be safe for at least 1,000 years!
"It's not a problem to give you a Spiritual Level Spell of the Spiritual Level! The problem is I never give things to people for free! This is my principle!" Xu Que said with a smile.
A Spiritual Level Spell of the Spiritual Level could be sold for only 1,000 or 2,000 Acting Tough Points in the System Store, which was quite cheap. However, what Xu Que needed most now was Acting Tough Points. How could he give a Spiritual Level Spell to Jiyue Buddhism for free?
After all, he only befriended Ryu Jingning, not Jiyue Buddhism. As the saying goes, "Love me, love my dog." This was impossible for Xu Que!
"Tsk, cheapskate!"
Ryu Jingning rolled her eyes at Xu Que and scolded him with a smile. However, she didn't really care about it.
After all, she was just joking. She didn't expect Xu Que to really take out a Spiritual Level Spell of the Spiritual Level. Even an advanced Spell was extremely precious, let alone a Spiritual Level Spell of the Spiritual Level!
The two of them flew all the way to the top of the mountain and arrived at the gate of Jiyue Buddhism soon.
Several apprentices at the Original Infant Stage were in charge of guarding the gate. When they saw Ryu Jingning, they knelt down on one knee and bowed their heads respectfully, "Greetings, Holy Virgin!"
"OK!" Ryu Jingning nodded her head slightly. Then, she walked forward with Xu Que.
In front of Xu Que, she might have a charming and enchanting side. However, in front of Jiyue Buddhism and the rest of the world, she was just like the other Holy Virgins, aloof and indifferent.
This was because this was the only way to make others respect her more and be more intimidating!
As a Holy Son or Holy Virgin, if they were too gentle, they would lose their prestige and influence their rallying power!
Xu Que was used to this and didn't mind it at all. Instead, he imitated them and walked side by side with Ryu Jingning, with his head held high and chest puffed out!
Many apprentices of the Utopia Faction were surprised by this!
After some passing disciples bowed to Ryu Jingning, they were filled with shock and confusion and started to discuss in low voices!
"Who is that young man? How could he walk side by side with the Holy Virgin? "
"Don't tell me he is from some big faction or family! Otherwise, how could he be so qualified? "
"Exactly! Look at the way he walks! His nose is almost pointing up to the sky! Obviously, he is a person of high status!"
"That can't be right! No matter how distinguished his status is, it's impossible for him to be so close to the Holy Virgin, right?"
"Eh, it's true! Even if the Holy Son of the Gong Family came to visit, the Holy Virgin would keep a distance from him. But today, she is so close to this young man! Could it be …"
"Holy crap! Really? That young man is still young! He is at most 20 years old! Could it be that the Holy Virgin wants to eat young grass? "
"Damn! Watch your mouth! If the Holy Virgin hears you, I'm afraid you won't live to see tomorrow!"
"Wait! Could it be that the Holy Virgin has received the news in advance and brought this young man back?"
"What a coincidence! The people of the Li Family have just arrived! How could the Holy Virgin receive the news so quickly? "
"Gasp! It seems something bad is going to happen!"
At the end of the discussion, the disciples looked at each other and couldn't help but gasp!
…
At the same time, Xu Que and Ryu Jingning had arrived at the main hall of Jiyue Buddhism!
Before they got close to the main hall, several powerful Divine Senses were sent out from the main hall. Then, a hearty laugh came from the hall.
"Hah-hah! It seems today is a good day! My niece, Jingning, is back! Little Jingning, do you still remember your Uncle Li? "
"Uncle Li?" Liu Jingning was taken aback. A trace of doubt flashed in her eyes.
The next moment, a vigorous voice rang out, "Saintess, come and greet your elders!"
"Yes, Faction Leader!"
Ryu Jingning frowned. Then, she replied and walked into the main hall.
Xu Que paused for a moment, squinted his eyes, and glanced at the hall.
He saw a middle-aged man in a purple robe sitting on the high seat in the center of the main hall. He looked dignified and elegant. His cultivation had reached the summit of the Void Training Stage!
The Holy Sons and Holy Virgins couldn't compare with him. The difference between the Void Training Stage and the Form Synthesis Stage was the Taoist Connotation!
For powerhouses at this stage, their cultivation couldn't be enhanced by Spiritual Qi or Elixirs. Most of them had to be enhanced by the Taoist Connotation!
The Void Training Stage meant that the Taoist Connotation had begun to take shape!
After that, the whole Void Training Stage was used to consolidate the Taoist Connotation. Even if one reached the summit of the Void Training Stage, he wouldn't be able to reach the Form Synthesis Stage if his Taoist Connotation hadn't reached the Advanced Stage!
This middle-aged man's Taoist Connotation was the closest to the Advanced Stage. He was only one step away from the Form Synthesis Stage!
It might be difficult for others to sense it. However, Xu Que sensed it easily!
Why?
Because Xu Que was different from those coquettish bastards out there!
If others wanted to reach the Advanced Stage of Taoist Connotation, they would need countless years of consolidation and enlightenment before they could reach the Form Synthesis Stage!
After two years of secluded cultivation, Xu Que had reached the Void Training Stage from scratch. His Taoist Connotation had also reached the Great Accomplishment Stage. That was to say, although his cultivation stage was only at the first level of the Void Training Stage, his Taoist Connotation was comparable to that of a cultivator at the first level of the Form Synthesis Stage, which was more powerful than that middle-aged man!
"Interesting! It seems this Faction Leader of Jiyue Buddhism is not simple!" Xu Que smiled in his heart after looking at him for a while.
Then, he looked at the rest of the people in the hall!
Apart from some elders of Jiyue Buddhism who were wearing light purple robes, a few people in red robes attracted Xu Que's attention!
The person who called himself Uncle Li and tried to get close to Ryu Jingning was an old man in red robes!
Beside the old man were two young people, a man and a woman!
The man was handsome and elegant, while the woman was beautiful and aloof. They looked like a pair of brother and sister!
As Ryu Jingning walked into the hall, everyone fixed their eyes on her, especially the young man. His listless eyes were now full of energy. He looked at Ryu Jingning with admiration and surprise!
"Damn!"
Xu Que cursed in his heart!
Normally, these people would come to Liu Jingning's house to ask for her hand in marriage. Otherwise, they would say that they had been betrothed to Liu Jingning before they were born, and now they were going to marry her.
"Jingning, I am your father's friend, Li Tang Shan!" The old man in red robes said with a smile at this time.
Standing outside the hall, Xu Que squinted his eyes and snorted in his heart. I knew it!
"You are the Uncle Li that my father often mentioned?" Ryu Jingning was surprised when she heard this name.
Her father had mentioned this name many times when he was alive because Li Tang Shan had lent a magic artifact to her family. Later, her father died in an accident. Before he died, he told her that if Li Tang Shan came to ask for the magic artifact, she must return it to him!
Ryu Jingning had always kept this in mind. So, when Li Tang Shan told her his name, she immediately realized who he was!
"Yes, it is me!" The old man in red robes nodded his head with a hearty smile.
Then, he stroked his beard and was about to say something. Suddenly, a heavy, dull sound came from outside the hall!
Bang!
