While Xiao Yan and the rest were deep in thought, Lin Feng's voice continued to resound in the quiet room, "Taixu Temple's situation is rather special. Because they have the Haotian Mirror, they are not inferior to the Great Thunderclap Temple, the Heavenly Gates, the Primordial Demon Cult, and the Mount Shu Sword Sect in their heyday."
"But from the perspective of Taixu Temple, their heyday was still in the ancient times, when the founder of Taixu Temple, the Taixu Taoist, coexisted with the Haotian Mirror, and there were many experts in their sect."
Lin Feng smiled and said, "Ever since the Taixu Taoist and the Buddha went to the Dead Sea, there was no news of them. Although Taixu Temple still ruled the world, it was no longer as prosperous as it was in the era of the Taixu Taoist. In the era 4,000 years ago, Taixu Temple gradually regained its heyday. Unfortunately, it encountered Youhuang Tianhai, who was one of the top experts among the Saint Emperors of the demon race. In a great battle, Tianhai died, and Taixu Temple's strength was greatly reduced."
Seeing Xiao Yan and the rest look over, Lin Feng nodded. "That's right. Although the Taixu Temple can still look down on the divine continent now, it has actually declined a lot compared to 4,000 years ago."
"It's the same for the Great Thunderclap Temple. Ever since the Buddha left and its top ten disciples died one after another, it was no longer as prosperous as before. The creation magic treasure Mount Meru was shattered by Youhuang Tianhai 4,000 years ago, and it can be said that the destiny of Buddhism has been completely destroyed."
Lin Feng continued, "During the era of the Human Emperor in the ancient times and the ancient times, the Taixu Taoist had the strength to become an emperor, but he did not do so. Instead, he led the Taixu Temple and focused most of his attention on Tianhuang Vast Land."
"As for the ancestor of Buddhism, before he founded Buddhism, he was actually the second Human Emperor of the ancient times after the fall of the Tai Huang. He was known as the Ru Huang. After ten thousand years, the Ru Huang abdicated the throne to his successor and founded the Great Thunderclap Monastery."
"However, you should already know the current situation."
Silently, Xiao Yan and the others digested the ancient secrets Lin Feng had told them. After a while, Xiao Yan smiled brightly, "When we go back, we have to tell the boys at home."
Zhu Yi, Yang Qing, and Li Yuanfang also smiled.
Seeing the situation Lin Feng also started laughing, his gaze looking towards Xiao Yan: "Okay, the things on Xiaoyi's side can already be said to be settled, how are things on your side?"
After everyone settled down in the courtyard, Zhu Yi invited the Great Zhou Crown Prince, Liang Yuan, and the others to deal with Xu Yunsheng's matter. Like Lin Feng, everyone else rested in their respective rooms. Only Xiao Yan had gone out and had just returned not long ago.
Xiao Yan said, "I went to the Jing Province in the west of Great Zhou. I couldn't find out about the more well-hidden information, but it's not like I didn't gain anything."
"Looks like the crux of the matter lies with Tang Jun and Lei Jie's father."
After the battle of West-Hill City, the Lei Clan, one of the four major clans of the Great Qin Dynasty, chose to betray the Great Qin Dynasty and joined the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The Great Zhou Dynasty, which had forcefully eliminated the local sects and families, also accepted the Lei Clan happily. Now, the Lei Clan had settled down in the Jing Province in the Great Zhou Dynasty, resettled, and flourished.
The matter that Xiao Yan had gone to investigate was related to the newly accepted disciple of Xuanmen Tianzong, Tang Jun.
Tang Jun and the leading figure of the Lei Clan's new generation, Lei Jie, had at least seventy percent similar facial features. It was hard to avoid suspecting their relationship at a glance.
In addition, the head of the Lei Clan, Tang Lie, had personally asked Lin Feng for a favor. If Lin Feng and Xiao Yan still couldn't guess Tang Jun's background, then they could just buy a piece of tofu and kill themselves.
The Heart Reflecting Staircase would only reveal the evil in a person's heart, but it wouldn't barbarically read another person's memories. Thus, Tang Jun had no special goal in becoming Lei Jie's disciple. He had previously concealed his background mostly out of consideration for his own privacy.
Later on, when Xiao Yan had openly discussed this matter with him in front of Mount Li, Tang Jun no longer hid anything and told him everything about his background. However, his own knowledge was very limited.
According to custom, Tang Jun's name should be Lei Jun. He should be considered a direct descendant of the Lei Clan's head, Lei Lie, but in reality, he was surnamed Tang. His father, Tang Wenhua, was a live-in son-in-law who had married into the Lei Clan and changed his name to Lei Wenhua.
Tang Wenhua and Tang Jun's mother's first child, and he had also been raised as the flesh and blood of the Lei Clan. Not long after he was born, he displayed an astonishing talent for cultivation, the Nine Qi True Thunder Body, and cultivated in the Lei Clan's lightning-attribute Daoist techniques. He was like a proud son bestowed by the heavens to the Lei Clan.
This person was Tang Jun's older brother, Lei Jie.
Unfortunately, although Lei Jie and Tang Jun were blood-related brothers, the paths of their lives were as different as the heavens and the earth. Lei Jie displayed an astonishing talent from a young age, and his reputation soared. If not for the fact that he was suppressed by the even more dazzling dual-pupiled person, Shi Tianyi, he would have been the most outstanding genius of the younger generation of the Great Qin Dynasty.
On the other hand, Tang Jun was extremely mediocre. From a young age, there was nothing special about him. It just so happened that not long after he was born, an embarrassing incident occurred. His father, Tang Wenhua, who had married into the Lei Clan, had actually stolen one of the Lei Clan's treasures and then disappeared.
This incident had absolutely infuriated everyone in the Lei Clan, including the head of the clan, Lei Lie.
Lei Jie's talent had been astonishing since he was a child, and he had been doted on by everyone. Even when his own father had stirred up a calamity, it had not affected him in the slightest.
Or perhaps, Tang Jun, who had just been born at that time, had focused all his resentment on himself, bearing the storm that should have been borne by two people.
But for Tang Jun, there had never been any brotherly love or respect between him and Lei Jie.
Ever since he was a child, Lei Jie had always viewed Tang Jun as the greatest stain on his name. His greatest taboo was this blood-related brother of his.
Tang Jun was well aware of Lei Jie's thoughts. His own existence seemed to constantly remind the Lei Clan's proud son that his surname wasn't Lei, but Tang Jun, and that he also had a father who ran away from home.
Lei Jie was unfriendly to him, so Tang Jun naturally didn't treat him well either. More than half of Tang Jun's hardships over the years had something to do with Lei Jie.
For many people who fawn on the rich and powerful, making things difficult for Tang Jun was the best way to please Lei Jie.
Tang Jun was rather stubborn, but he wasn't reckless. After enduring at the bottom of the Lei Clan until he had some ability to protect himself, he left the Lei Clan and roamed the world by himself at a young age.
The Lei Clan originally didn't care much about him. As long as Tang Jun didn't proclaim his origins and ruin the Lei Clan's reputation, the Lei Clan was happy to have such a stain off their name.
However, during this period of time when Tang Jun was wandering around alone, his body had suddenly undergone a complete transformation. His mediocre innate bone frame had suddenly transformed into an innate body of fire spirit. It was the rarely seen Azure Flame Emperor's Body. It could be said that it was one of the most perfect innate body constitutions for practicing fire-elemental Dao techniques.
If one were to really think about it, it was even slightly stronger than Lei Jie's Nine Qi True Thunder Body.
Although Tang Jun was baffled by this, he was also happy that his hardships were finally over. However, he wasn't interested in returning to the Lei Clan. Instead, he had a good impression of Xuanmen Tianzong, who had risen to prominence in recent years. So when Xuanmen Tianzong opened the mountain gates this time, he came to be apprenticed to him.
The changes in Tang Jun were known by the Lei Clan. Naturally, the Lei Clan hoped to welcome Tang Jun back, but their attitude was a little strange.
It didn't seem like they were thirsting for talent, but more like they were trying to catch a fugitive.
This attitude made Tang Jun suspicious, and naturally made him feel even more disgusted.
"According to Tang Jun, the sudden change in his body originated from him finding a former residence of his father, Tang Wenhua." Xiao Yan said, "There was a spell formation in the former residence. When others stood on it, there was no reaction. Only when he stood on it, the spell formation suddenly activated, and then his body began to change."
"But after it was activated once, the spell formation lost its effect. Even if Tang Jun stood on it himself, there would be no reaction."
Li Yuanfang nodded and said, "This spell formation should only be used to activate it. Tang Jun originally had something special in his body, but it was always in a state of hibernation."
Yang Qing pondered and said, "This special concealment ability can even deceive a Primordial Soul cultivator like Lei Lie, the head of the Lei Clan. It's really not simple."
Xiao Yan said, "That's right, so the problem should be with Tang Jun and Lei Jie's father, Tang Wenhua. Unfortunately, this person is now missing, and no one knows where he is. There are no clues."
"This time, I went to Jingzhou to ask the people inside the Lei Clan. I can be sure that the Lei Clan is also trying to keep a low profile, but they are searching for traces of Tang Wenhua on a large scale. According to my speculation, they want to capture Tang Jun. On the one hand, it is for Tang Jun, and on the other hand, they probably hope to find clues about Tang Wenhua's whereabouts on Tang Jun. "
After thinking for a while, Zhu Yi's eyes flickered slightly. He looked at Lin Feng and said, "Master, disciple has a guess."
Lin Feng said with a smile, "Xiaoyi, you suspect that not only Tang Jun's Blue Flame Emperor Body, but also Lei Jie's Nine Qi True Thunder Body is related to Tang Wenhua, right?"
"Master, that's exactly what disciple thinks." Zhu Yi nodded and said, "Although the Nine Qi True Thunder Body is rare, it is not unique. It is not strange for it to appear. But the Blue Flame Emperor Body and the Nine Qi True Thunder Body appeared on a pair of brothers at the same time. Such a coincidence is really tempting. "
Lin Feng smiled and did not say anything.
The Lei Clan could not be blamed for being anxious. One must know that according to the system, Tang Jun's root bone was as high as nine points. The Blue Flame Emperor Body was an innate aptitude comparable to Yang Qing's Yin Yang Balanced Physique, Zhou Yuncong's Blazing Yang Physique, and Luo Qingwu's Pure Yin Physique.
Lei Jie's Nine Qi True Thunder Body was also at the same level. If such a physique could be artificially created, the Taixu Temple would go crazy.
It was one thing to accumulate resources and improve one's physique, but to be able to create such powerful aptitudes as the Blue Flame Emperor Body and the Nine Qi True Thunder Body, was truly a heaven-defying act.
"There must be very harsh restrictions. Otherwise, Fellow Daoist Tang Wenhua would have ruled over the mortal world a long time ago. But no matter what, he is a very thoughtful person."
Lin Feng tapped his fingers on the armrest of his chair. Looking at Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi, and the others, he suddenly smiled. "Relax. If I'm not wrong, the crux of the matter is actually not Tang Wenhua."
Xiao Yan and the others were slightly stunned and fell into deep thought. After a while, a look of realization appeared on their faces and they nodded. "Master is right. We were wrong just now."
Lin Feng smiled and said, "So, on this matter, we'll just wait and see. We'll use silence to react. Right now, the initiative is in our hands."
He stood up from his chair and walked out of the house with his hands behind his back. "Go pack up. Since the matter with Yunsheng has been settled, we will officially head to the East Sea to prepare for the appearance of the Ying Sea's three mountains."
Walking out of the room, Lin Feng looked up at the night sky and said, "The Great Zhou Dynasty's performance is too stable. They look so confident. They must have made many arrangements. What could it be?"
