Mount Longhu was surrounded by a coiled dragon and a tiger. It was majestic and precipitous, with many peaks. Dragons leaped and tigers pounced, shaking off the dust and rising purple clouds.
After thousands of years of accumulation and several ups and downs, Mount Longhu was recognized as the number one mountain of Taoism. It was the birthplace and had a prominent position as the ancestral court.
At this moment, Ye Fan was standing there, looking at the old crane and Third Valley Master. Mount Longhu was very mysterious. As the ancestral land of Taoism, it was not easy to provoke them.
"No wonder Taoism chose this place. The sages of the demon race have always been puzzled. Now, we finally understand. There is an Earth Immortal here," said Third Valley Master.
The old crane sighed. "That's right. In ancient times, there was a great formation protecting this place. The Earth Immortal Burial Ground was just formed and could not affect the surrounding terrain. Now that the divine formation has been completed, we can finally see a corner of it. There is indeed an expert in Taoism to have chosen this place so early. "
When talking about Taoism, it was necessary to mention the pre-Qin Old Zhuang. Its origin was even further back. Strictly speaking, it could be traced back to ancient times.
Taoism had existed since ancient times. Old Huang elaborated on it. There were many books and they were broad and profound. Later generations respected Yellow Emperor and Laozi as the founders.
Taoism had existed long ago, but as a true organization, it appeared later. The rise of the Celestial Master Sect and Mount Longhu becoming the ancestral court were symbolic events.
Later, after thousands of years of prosperity and decline, Taoism gave birth to hundreds of sects. They depended on each other and even opposed each other. They had never been unified.
Since ancient times, there had been many ups and downs. Although there were many branches of Taoism, they could be roughly divided into two major sects. One was the Quanzhen Sect, which focused on cultivating inner cores, which rose in the north.
The other was the Zhengyi Sect, which focused on talismans. Their ancestral court was Mount Longhu, which occupied half of the world's Taoism. At the same time, it was also the beginning of Taoism's organization.
Ye Fan and the others naturally had to be careful here. This was the ancestral court of Taoism. If they were not careful, they could become enemies with the entire Taoism.
This was because the Zhengyi Sect had a great influence in Taoism. It was the result of the integration of the Celestial Master Sect, Lingbao Sect, and Shang Qing Sect.
In ancient times, the Celestial Master Sect revered Laozi, Lingbao Sect revered Lingbao Celestial Being and Shang Qing Sect revered Primitive Celestial Being.
Ye Fan and the others entered the mountain and looked around. This ancestral land of Taoism had 99 mountains and 24 rocks. Although the 99 mountains did not have the shape of a dragon, they had the aura of a dragon and a tiger.
"The worldly essence has dried up, but this place still has violet energy. It is indeed worthy of being the Primal Dao Ground." The Grand Valley Master sighed.
The Dragon Mountain, Longhu, "Dao,, and said. In Mountain, Loningly, Dragon Taoism. and it. and it, it, and it and, and, and it.
One. and and and of Temple and and and and and only one. and and one and and and and the one one one. and had. One. one. one. and and and and and one. and and and and of. and one and Temple.
However, Ye Fan and the others did not dare to underestimate it. The outer mountain of Zhengyi School had turned into smoke, but the cultivators were still there. They had entered the ancient inner mountain and separated themselves from the mortal world.
"The Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin and the Ancestral Altar of Mount Tai appeared. Back then, it led to a fierce battle between the Great Mediums. If not for the old Taoist of Dragon Tiger Mountain, the consequences would have been unimaginable."
From that battle, one could see the power of the ancestral court of Zhengyi School. It was still overseen by an expert and was better than the other sects.
"This should be the place. Look, there are hanging coffins between the stone cliffs of the outer mountain. They are all ancient objects from two thousand years ago, not to mention the inner mountain," said Third Valley Master.
The cliff tombs of Dragon Tiger Mountain were mostly coffins from the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period. They were unique in China. Taoism used this as its root. It was said that it was related to the divine hanging coffins.
The old crane said, "Now that I think about it, Taoism is really cunning. They already knew that the Earth Immortal's hanging coffins were here. They arrived first and occupied this place. Even if we go in now, we may not be able to find the Earth Immortal."
For thousands of years, as the ancestral land of Taoism, it was impossible for the people of the mortal world to know about the inner mountain. The demon race and the Western orthodoxy had never attacked.
Even if there was a shocking secret here, outsiders could not know about it. It was suppressed and guarded by the Great Mediums of the ancient times. It was extremely mysterious.
Ye Fan returned from the Outer Star Region. It could be said that he had encountered a rare opportunity. In the Age of Dharma Ending, he should be able to go in and out with his cultivation. The Zhengyi School would not be able to stop him.
The three of them turned left and right and almost touched the forbidden formation several times. Finally, they arrived at the Taoist holy land and saw Dragon Tiger Mountain.
"It is even more dragon-shaped than the ninety-nine peaks outside. This place is amazing!" Grand Valley Master exclaimed.
The mountain was majestic as if it was about to leap up and rush into the sky. Dragons and tigers coiled and intertwined with each other. In this Age of Dharma Ending, there was a faintly discernible purple gas rising. It was rare in the world.
This place was definitely a first-class holy land in ancient times. It was no wonder that it became the original land of Taoism. It was magnificent and beautiful.
The majestic mountain peaks were surrounded by purple gas. There were waterfalls and flowing springs, red-crowned cranes flying, Taoist children picking herbs, and old Taoist priests breathing on the cliff. It was very artistic.
The temple was neat and tidy, with beautiful buildings reflecting the mountains and rivers. Lofty platforms and pavilions lingered in the mountains and forests. The ancient scenery finally reappeared.
There was a great momentum of dragons and tigers leaping and moving, wanting to rush into the sky. However, they did not see the ninety-nine ancient small dragon mountains. It was empty.
They were very cautious. Ye Fan led the way, avoiding the Taoist temples and purple gas peaks. They went far into the forest and did not get close to the important place of the Zhengyi School.
"It's not simple. There are actually people of the cult master level in this place. They are most likely very ancient people." Ye Fan wanted to climb the mountain and visit the Taoist temple.
However, the old crane and Third Valley Master hurriedly pulled him back and told him not to appear. This place could not be carelessly entered. If he was discovered, he might be punished greatly.
"No, how can there be no?!" They searched for hundreds of miles but did not see the ninety-nine ancient small dragon mountains. They did not know where the earth immortals were buried.
The auspicious light gathered on the ancient Taoist temples on Mount Longhu. The purple gas was dense and rose, touching people's hearts. Other than that, there was nothing unusual in the vast uninhabited area.
The old crane and Third Valley Master were anxious. They could not stay in this place for long. They knew how terrifying and powerful the Zhengyi School was. If they were discovered by the hidden great mediums, they would not be able to bear the consequences.
Ye Fan calmed his mind and opened his Source of Heaven's Eye. His body blended into the wonderful scenery of Mount Longhu as if he was about to disappear. Endless earth qi surged into his body. He saw some clues.
"What a shocking method. It almost deceived my Source of Heaven's Eye."
His expression was solemn. In this world, no one except him could discover that there was a mountain beyond the mountain and another world beyond the heaven and earth. There was an ancient formation outside the ancestral court of Mount Longhu, which was the burial place of the earth immortals. It was also the fundamental reason why Taoism chose this place.
The journey was very difficult. It was not a killing formation, but a plot that made reasonable use of the mountains and rivers to prevent people from approaching. If it was not for the fact that Ye Fan was a member of the Yuan Taoist Master's faction, he would never have been able to enter. Even so, it took him a lot of time and three days to bring the two of them in.
"The ancient sages are unfathomable. Their methods are unparalleled. At that level, the terrain set up by them is comparable to the Yuan Taoist Master."
As soon as they entered this secret land, Ye Fan and the other two immediately felt a vast and desolate aura, like a group of dragons soaring.
On the horizon, the mountains were lush and verdant. Dragon qi lingered and many dragon mountains danced as if they were going to break through the sky!
"Found it. This is the place where the earth immortals are buried!" They were very excited.
As an earth immortal, he must have heaven-defying methods. This person obtained the great secret of the 99 Ancient Dragon Mountains and touched upon the forbidden area. He must have left behind a shocking secret.
"The Taoists must have been here before. I don't know what else is left," the old crane said.
The sage of Taoism must have seen something when he chose Mount Longhu as the location. He regarded this place as the ancestral court and guarded it for so many years. No one would believe that he did not obtain the secret of the earth immortals.
The mountains danced and the terrain was shocking. This was a group of majestic dragons.
Suddenly, Ye Fan stopped in his tracks. He saw a corpse dressed in a Taoist robe. It had passed away in meditation for hundreds of years. Its body was immortal and it sat cross-legged on a rock. It looked like it was guarding the mountain gate leading to the Dragon Mountains.
"The Taoist Protector of the Zhengyi School!" The old crane saw the Flying Immortal Diagram on the robe at a glance. It was unique to Taoist Protectors.
Those who were Taoist Protectors were all extremely powerful, even surpassing the sect master. They were the masters who protected the orthodoxy.
There were a few lines of words on the ground. It was the Bird Seal Script from the Pre-Qin Dynasty. The few of them sighed with emotion. It was left behind by the old Taoist. The main idea was that there was no successor for the forbidden land for two thousand years. The world was dry and there was no one who could enter Mount Longhu. It was truly lamentable.
"This is a Dao Severing King who passed away in meditation hundreds of years ago. He has always been here as a Taoist Protector. It is truly shocking." Third Valley Master sighed.
"In that case, the secret of the earth immortals still exists. They didn't make a move. Otherwise, they wouldn't have sent people to guard this place." The old crane was horrified and couldn't help but look at Ye Fan. Only a Dao Severing King could enter. Didn't this mean that the person in front of them was extremely terrifying?
"Don't look at me like that. I only have a rough understanding of some formations and haven't severed the dao." Ye Fan smiled.
They walked forward and just arrived in front of the first Dragon Mountain, they saw a bone tablet. It was as white as jade and as tall as a person. After so many years, it still hadn't been damaged. There were oracle bone inscriptions on it.
Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountains!
There were only a few words on it, but there was an overwhelming aura of the great dao pressing down. The old crane and monkey looked from afar and coughed out large mouthfuls of blood on the spot. They couldn't look straight at it.
"Earth Immortal, as expected of an Earth Immortal. Even a few ordinary words are like this." Grand Valley Master sighed.
Ye Fan was silent, but great waves surged in his heart. Even looking at these words made him feel uneasy. This was definitely a peerless expert!
He muttered to himself, "He didn't leave behind any killing intent. He just carved it normally and left behind a trace of dao."
As soon as they entered the mountain, Third Valley Master revealed a look of joy and shouted, "I found it! I didn't expect it to be so smooth."
Below the cliff, a large crack opened. Thousands of coffins hung in the air. They were densely packed, and draconic energy lingered around them. It was like the mouth of the Dragon Mountain was opening and holding the ancient coffins.
Among them, in the depths of the dragon's mouth, a jade coffin was faintly discernible. It flowed with dusty light and remained unbroken since ancient times.
"The residence of the earth immortal, there are thousands of coffins hanging in the middle of the cliff."
"The clouds are the bones of immortals."
A fragrance wafted over. Although it was very faint, it made one's body light as if they were about to fly. Ye Fan was shocked. This was definitely an immortal divine medicine.
Could it be that there was such a heaven-defying thing in the hanging coffins of the earth immortals? He felt that he had underestimated this place before. The earth immortals were more mysterious and powerful than he had imagined.
The fragrance came from the large crack at the bottom of the cliff. It was located in the depths of the dragon's mouth. He opened his Heavenly Eye to take a look. Although the luster of the dusty jade coffin had dimmed, the traces of dao were not bad. There was also a branch that shone with green light. It was fresh and tender, and the fragrance wafted into his nose.
"The Undying Tree!"
Ye Fan was shocked. This place was incredible. It was just a branch, and there was an entire Undying Tree. He had not seen the true appearance of the earth immortal, but he had already seen such a thing.
