It was more like a stone carving than a stone carving. It was like a stone painting embedded in the wall. It looked as lifelike as the person who walked down from the wall.
The person was handsome, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. Although he was more gentle than sharp, he was sitting in front of a guqin with his fingers playing the strings. He looked unspeakably arrogant.
There was a Se on the stage.
Yan Li recognized at a glance that this person was playing the Ancient Lost Sound.
From this, it could be deduced that this person was probably the headmaster of Lihen Heaven.
Before this, it was also the first time he heard of Lihen Heaven. Naturally, he knew nothing about the headmaster of Lihen Heaven. But to be able to pass down such a glorious Confucian orthodoxy, he was definitely not an ordinary person.
He could not find anything else in the hall.
He suddenly wanted to experience what it was like to be a disciple of Lihen Heaven.
Thus, he randomly found a yellow jade futon and sat cross-legged on it.
Of course, there was no one on the platform. What he wanted to experience was the feeling of being "stared at" by the stone carving.
Then he could not help but laugh.
Being stared at by the stone carving was like sitting on pins and needles. Lihen Heaven purposely carved a stone carving here, probably to monitor whether the disciples were serious about their cultivation.
He felt that being a disciple of Lihen Heaven must not be easy. It was worse than robbing others of their freedom.
But he did not notice that when he sat down, the stone carving's eyes moved strangely, as if it was really looking at him.
He thought for a moment, then stood up and leaped onto the beam. He carefully examined the situation around the hall with rapt attention.
Apart from their Hunter Group, he was the weakest one here.
To dare to break into the Dragon Gate Inn in the depths of the desert, without the cultivation of Enlightenment, it was really not enough.
Even if you were lucky enough to get in, you might not be able to get out.
He opened Li Ashao's Qiankun Bag. This bag was much smaller than Gu Haiyuan's, but there were a lot of things in it. The total value was at least a hundred soul stones.
Other than the original things, he found a few bamboo slips and handwritten notes.
The bamboo slips recorded the fundamental scriptures of the 'Mount Li Divine Technique'. But it was not the only copy. It was just an ordinary copy. There was no value to speak of, and no one could gain any cultivation enlightenment from it.
All the unique copies were the result of the painstaking efforts of the original author.
Putting the bamboo slip aside, he flipped through the letter again.
However, these books were even more damaged, and there was almost no useful information.
Only the phrase "swear to live and die with Lihen Heaven" appeared repeatedly.
"What happened here back then?" He couldn't help but mutter to himself.
Suddenly, he felt a chill on his back, as if someone was staring at him.
This feeling made him rush forward without hesitation. He waited until he was a few steps away before he dared to use the corner of his eyes to look behind him. However, it was empty.
Could it be that I was mistaken?
He was puzzled no matter how he thought about it. His gaze gradually refocused in front of him, and he immediately stopped in shock. Because he saw a person staring at him with a strange smile.
Could it be that he was just a fossil like that young man? This person's clothes were simple and unadorned, no different from the youth.
However, he suddenly leapt back a great distance because he noticed that the person in front of him was moving his eyeballs.
No dead person's eyeballs would move, let alone a corpse that had been dead for thousands of years.
His movement seemed to have startled the person in front of him, and he also leapt back a great distance.
Then, the two of them stared at each other and said in unison, "Who are you?"
"I asked this question first!" Yan Li said coldly, "What do you want by sneaking in here?"
"I was just taking a nap here." The person said, "But I was woken up by you, and you accused me of sneaking in."
Yan Li said coldly, "What's there to hide? There was no one here when I came up! Could it be that you're like that guy who's as skinny as a monkey, trying to rob me of my things? "
"If I say there's no one, then there's no one!" The person said angrily.
"Is that so?" Yan Li looked at him suspiciously. "Who are you? Why didn't I see you at the inn?"
The person smiled and said, "I didn't see you either."
"Could it be that you've been sleeping all this time?" Yan Li said thoughtfully, "Don't tell me you don't even know that the Trading Convention has ended?"
The person's eyes turned, and he immediately put on a bitter smile. "Oh no, I even missed the Trading Convention!"
"I'm Zhang Yifeng." He smiled and cupped his fists. "May I know your name?"
"Yan Li," Yan Li said.
"So it's you, Brother Yan." Zhang Yifeng smiled and said, "It's fate that we met. Why don't we travel around Lihen Heaven together?"
"How do you know that this is Lihen Heaven?" Yan Li asked.
Zhang Yifeng said, "I used to be obsessed with the history of the world of cultivation, and I happened to know that this Yuan Guang Hall is a famous place for preaching scriptures in Lihen Heaven."
"Oh?" Yan Li said in surprise, "So you're not unfamiliar with Lihen Heaven?"
"I'm alright." Zhang Yifeng smiled confidently.
Yan Li took a closer look at him and found that he was handsome, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. His speech and mannerisms were full of the demeanor of a master.
But he still felt that he was somewhat familiar.
"Of course we can travel together. How about you tell me a little about Lihen Heaven?" Yan Li said.
"Very well." Zhang Yifeng smiled and said, "Brother Yan, please."
"Please."
The two left the Yuan Guang Hall and toured along the way.
"Lihen Heaven began more than a thousand years ago," Zhang Yifeng said as he walked. "At its peak, the Dali Dynasty was founded, and the Lihen Palace was built. Unfortunately, it fell in the end … "
He shook his head and sighed. "Tens of thousands of disciples, less than a hundred escaped."
"Why did it fall?" Yan Li said, "I heard that during the Fifteen Kingdoms, Lihen Heaven was also the most promising to unify the world."
"Because someone didn't want to see this result," Zhang Yifeng said lightly.
"Who?" Yan Li asked.
Zhang Yifeng smiled slightly. "How would I know who it was? But I do know one thing. "
"What is it?" Yan Li said.
"If it wasn't for someone betraying Lihen Heaven, the Xia Dynasty wouldn't have been able to invade," Zhang Yifeng said.
Yan Li's heart skipped a beat. "The Xia Dynasty?"
"Ah," Zhang Yifeng suddenly realized. "It's the current Dragon Emperor Dynasty."
"Who was the betrayer?" Yan Li asked.
"How would I know who it was …" Zhang Yifeng smiled bitterly.
Yan Li rolled his eyes and said, "What you just said, as long as you pay attention, you can find out."
"That's right." Zhang Yifeng smiled and said, "Then I'll tell you a secret that you won't be able to hear."
"What secret?" Yan Li said.
"Brother Yan, you must have felt it," Zhang Yifeng said.
"Felt what?" Yan Li said.
"The power of the Stellar Source here doesn't listen to us," Zhang Yifeng said.
"That's right." Yan Li said.
"That's because 'the Forty-Nine Heavenly Divination Techniques lack one, and take one of them to return to the Grand Array of Heavenly Divination'," Zhang Yifeng said.
"Heavenly … what?" Yan Li was dumbfounded.
Zhang Yifeng repeated patiently, "'the Forty-Nine Heavenly Divination Techniques lack one, and take one of them to return to the Grand Array of Heavenly Divination'."
"The Grand Array of Heavenly Divination …" Yan Li said.
"Yes," Zhang Yifeng said.
"Why don't you just say it's the Grand Array of Heavenly Divination!" Yan Li said angrily.
Zhang Yifeng said innocently, "That's its original name."
"Forget it!" Yan Li said helplessly. "Is it the same as the Grand Array of Heavenly Divination in Parting Hatred Palace?"
Zhang Yifeng said, "The effects are similar, but Parting Hatred Heaven itself is a Blessed Land, much better than Parting Hatred Palace. However, Parting Hatred Palace and the Martyr's Palace together are comparable to a Blessed Land. "
"This formation can control the power of the Stellar Source?" Yan Li asked.
"Not only can it control the power of the Stellar Source, but it can also recycle all kinds of impurities, purify them, and put them back into operation." Zhang Yifeng pointed at the surroundings. "Brother Yan, look. Do you see any impurities here?"
"Is the Grand Array of Heavenly Divination that good?" Yan Li said thoughtfully, "If one can be carved on the human body, doesn't it mean that one will never need to take a bath?"
Zhang Yifeng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Brother Yan, let's not talk about the fact that it can't be carved on the human body. Even if it's possible, any impurities that cultivators have reached the Insight Realm will be completely eliminated under the Law Domain. Why do such a strenuous and unrewarding thing?"
"Oh?" Yan Li smiled mysteriously. "So it's just a matter of time for Brother Zhang to break into the Cave View."
"Isn't it the same for Brother Yan?" Zhang Yifeng said with a faint smile.
Yan Li smiled without saying anything.
After a while, he said, "The Grand Array of Heavenly Divination can't only have purification effects, right?"
"Of course not." Zhang Yifeng smiled and said, "The real function of the Grand Array of Heavenly Divination is to defend against external enemies. All attacks from the outside will be plundered by the Grand Array and become a part of the Grand Array."
"Is it that amazing?" Yan Li said in surprise. "Doesn't that make it impregnable? Who can break in?"
Zhang Yifeng shrugged and said, "Didn't I say it before? If it wasn't for the traitor, Lihen Heaven wouldn't have fallen."
"In the end, it's still the same old story." Yan Li sneered.
"But the most famous thing about Lihen Heaven isn't the Grand Array of Heavenly Divination," Zhang Yifeng said.
"Then what is it?" Yan Li asked.
"Follow me, Brother Yan," Zhang Yifeng said.
He led Yan Li through a large group of buildings. On the way, they met many disciples of Lihen Heaven who had been turned to dust. There were all kinds of objects scattered on the ground, among which there were several objects with spiritual nature.
But the valuable things should have been taken away by the people in the inn.
As they moved forward, the terrain gradually rose. They climbed a mountain path and came to an extremely high peak.
There was a pond on the peak where there was no wind.
A pond with a circumference of a thousand feet was built on the peak. There was a waterside pavilion in the middle of the pond. There was a guqin platform in the waterside pavilion with an ancient zither on it.
"Archean Sound!" Yan Li shouted in surprise.
"Brother Yan knows about it?" He did not expect Zhang Yifeng to be even more surprised.
"Not only do I know about it, I've even played it before!" Yan Li said.
"Brother Yan, you've played the Archean Sound before?" Zhang Yifeng's eyes were shining.
"Isn't it the one in the Lihen Palace?" Yan Li said.
"That's right." Zhang Yifeng said, "It seems that Brother Yan has really played it before."
