Cultivation starts with time management

Only Patriarch Canglong could barely understand, what Longhu said at this time was:

"The ancestors of the dragons, the descendants of the blood, please, untie the seal here."

She repeated the old saying three times, and finally in the center of the square, about seven feet above the ground, a light ball of indeterminate shape emerged.

The ancestors just cast their eyes on it, and endless information rushed into their eyes, almost violently bursting the sea of ​​consciousness.

They had no choice but to turn their heads quickly, cut off the line of sight contact with the light ball, and each said in surprise:

"Is that... Great Desolation?"

"According to the information I found in Beiming Fanyang, the ancestors of our Jiaolong clan discovered this soul creation on the top of Shennong Pagoda." Longhu carefully considered the sentence and said slowly, "It records the coordinates of the Great Wilderness. And a lot of information in it and so on."

"Of course, if you look directly at this thing, the message it sends will directly enter the soul, causing mental confusion and making it difficult to read."

"To really read the information in it, you need some kind of special magic weapon. But after detailed research, I confirmed that the magic weapon should have gone to the cultivation world."

"So, Your Majesty, you want to..." Patriarch Canglong said slowly, "Go to the cultivation world?"

"I will go to the realm of comprehension and retrieve that crucial magic weapon." Longhu said seriously.

Chapter 55 Unify the Eastern Emperor and head to the Human World!

The beginning of the decline of the Jiaolong clan was obviously marked by the destruction of Emperor Yinglong's expeditionary army.

However, according to the historical data that Longhu researched in Beiming Fanyang, the expedition itself was only a fuse at best... In fact, the Jiaolong clan of that era was once too prominent and arrogant, so that they offended too many princes, and the hidden dangers began very early. It started to happen.

The reason why Emperor Yinglong chose to go on an expedition was mainly because he married Yin Xiaojing's daughter against all opinions, but this "public opinion" did not come from his subjects more, but from the "royal family".

According to the records in the classics, many members of the clan did not approve of the marriage at that time. The reason was that Yin Xiaojing's daughter was not from the Jiaolong clan, and her xenophobia can be seen from this.

And the relationship between such an extremely xenophobic race and the surrounding princes is naturally not much better.

After the failure of the emperor's expedition, the harsh diplomatic situation finally turned into a bitter fruit. The rebellious Jiaolong clan made mistakes one after another, and even the loyal allies of the Xuangui clan abandoned them, and finally fell into a slump...

In short, although most of the princes now believe that the decline of Jiaolong is due to the failure of the Great Expedition, Longhu thinks that there is a problem with the management of the Jiaolong clan itself.

They relied too much on Emperor Yinglong's super force, so that they naively tried to fight against the four princes at the same time. As a result, Emperor Yinglong suddenly fell into the human world, and they came to a wall and pushed everyone down.

The real reason for the collapse of the wall is not so much the loss of the emperor, but the foolish offending of the four princes.

After learning this lesson, even though Longhu has decided to go to the cultivation world to find out, he will not repeat the mistakes his father made back then.

For the throne to be stable, the four princes must first be stabilized.The interest relationship between the princes is intricate and difficult to balance and grasp under normal circumstances, but there is a tricky way:

Get the four ancestors.

Just like the Jiaolong clan used to rely too much on the emperor, the four princes also have almost unconditional trust in their ancestors.As long as the four ancestors can be dealt with, there is no need to worry about any disturbances in the clan.

Of course, the ancestors usually would not abuse their prestige to brutally interfere in the decision-making affairs of the clan, so Longhu finally found this powerful medicine after a thousand choices.

"In the past, the reason why the ancestors lost contact after ascension was because there was no coordinate of the Great Wilderness." She talked in front of the four ancestors, "I can't conclude that the ascension must fail, but the Great Wilderness is farther away from us than the Immortal Realm." If it is farther away, relying solely on the power of ascension in the absence of coordinates, the success rate is obviously not high."

"In other words, this coordinate is not useful to the four seniors, but is of great benefit to the entire monster clan... Let's assume for the time being that the Jiaolong clan and the four princes have reached an agreement to hold this coordinate information in their hands."

"Then, as long as any family intends to ascend to the Great Wilderness after leaving the ancestors, they must negotiate with us in exchange for this coordinate information..."

Listening to Longhu's patient words, the eyes of the four ancestors lit up, and they exchanged tacit glances with each other.

Although they have basically delegated power to the patriarch for many years, they still have at least the political literacy, and they immediately realized how much interest there is to plan.

Although the four princes are princes, they are the most powerful clans among the many monster clans in the Eastern Emperor's Realm, but they are not confident that their clans will definitely prosper for a long time—not to mention, the lessons learned from Jiaolong and Qilin are also good. Here it is!

But if there is this thing, then apart from their own strength, the princes will have an extremely important bargaining chip... It is roughly equivalent to the five major countries becoming the five permanent members of the United Nations, and many of them would have to resort to force. The achieved effect will lead to a more perfect solution in the future.

"This old man thinks this idea is feasible." Ancestor Canglong was the first to express his opinion, "If His Majesty is going to the human world to find the magic weapon, the Canglong clan is willing to send three elders to escort His Majesty."

"That's right." Patriarch Xuanwu was the second to realize, "The Xuanwu clan would like to send four elders for His Majesty to dispatch at will."

Sending elders to be Longhu's subordinates is of course not the point, the point is the implication behind this - our two clans are His Majesty's own people.

Since we are our own people, when His Majesty goes to the human world, we will also defend the legal rule of the Jiaolong clan in the imperial capital. This is what Longhu really cares about.

The reactions of Zhuniao Patriarch and Baihu Patriarch were half a beat slower. The former thought for a moment and said:

"Since it is a proposal for the princes to join forces, we Zhu Niao will naturally not stay out of the matter."

"The Vermilion Bird Clan is willing to send seven elders to accompany His Majesty to the Human Realm to find the magic weapon. Besides, if there are rebels wandering around the imperial capital, the Nanzhou Yu Clan is also willing to send troops to crusade on their behalf."

Although the so-called rebels were not explicitly mentioned, everyone knew that they must be the Qilin family who had left the imperial capital.

Qilin has been in power for many years and has turned the entire Zhongzhou into a paradise for the Jiao tribe. Now he has resigned because of the joint opposition of the four princes, but the basic foundation of the Jiao tribe in Zhongzhou is still there. There must be many Jiao tribes who love Qilin and think about it all the time. Support Restoration.

Zhu Niao already had a grudge against Qilin, and now that he is willing to take on the task of stabilizing Zhongzhou and suppressing the Horn Clan, Longhu naturally has no reason to refuse... After all, the current Jiaolong Clan is not good enough to conquer a state by itself .

"My man sees that the imperial capital has been severely damaged." The ancestor of the white tiger also found another way, "Xizhou is willing to contribute funds to repair the damaged buildings in the imperial capital and even Zhongzhou. As for your majesty's trip to the human world, the white tiger clan is willing to send five elders to follow the example A dog's work."

The four ancestors expressed their opinions one after another, and Longhu finally felt at ease.

Different from Emperor Yinglong's insistence on going his own way before, when he went to the human world this time, he tied the interests of the four great princes together, so he would not repeat his father's mistakes again.

Of course, before setting off, you still have to continue to raise the realm of the demon king as soon as possible, so that you can protect yourself when you reach the human world.

Apart from the secret techniques within the Jiaolong clan, there are also many scarce resources for cultivating Taoism. Can you ask the four princes for it?

Thinking of this, Longhu considered his sentence, and said again with a smile on his face:

"In the past, my father went on an expedition to the human world, but unfortunately fell into Shushan in the end. This shows the strength of the human race."

"Although I don't want to compete with the human race this time, there are still too many variables, and my strength is not as good as my father's. What can the seniors teach me?"

Hearing what she said, the ancestors knew that something was coming.

But this is also what it should mean: take a step back and say that the four major princes had to send congratulatory gifts to Longhu as the new emperor.

Now it's just reducing the expensive and luxurious things and using more treasures that can enhance her strength. The names of gifts are all ready-made.As for whether to do this... Isn't such a sensible new emperor worthy of investment by the princes?

Chapter 56 Junior Sister Xu’s Thoughts Are Careful

The strange ball of light in the center has been sealed again, and the ancestors have left the Dragon Tower one after another.

Standing on the top of the empty tower, Longhu seemed to be in a state of daze, when he suddenly heard someone say in the distance:

"Is it really worth it?"

Patriarch Canglong stood at the entrance of the stairs leading down, and looked over here.

"Longhu, you should know... In terms of the boy Longlong's behavior, once he decides what to do, he won't give anyone a chance to stop him."

"Just like when he suddenly took you away from Dongzhou, the clan searched for you for several months in vain. Now that he has left you in the same way, do you really think he will leave any clues for you to find him?"

"I don't know why you can be sure that he went to the human world, but even if you worked so hard to get there and find him...he doesn't want to come back, so what can you do?"

Longhu was silent for a long time, until Patriarch Canglong almost lost his patience, he slowly opened his mouth and said:

"He promised his mother that he would send me to Beiming Fanyang to solve the blood pulse on my body."

"He also promised me that he will always be by my side and will not leave me."

"He kept his promise to my mother, so I will pay off the favor on behalf of my mother; but he didn't keep his promise to me, so after I compensate him, it's my turn to ask for the debt."

Patriarch Canglong felt a headache when he heard it, and thought to himself, is the relationship between the younger generations so chaotic now?

What do you owe me, and I owe you, then the two debts cancel each other out, isn't that all right?

I don't understand!

However, Patriarch Canglong has already seen that Longhu has a deep obsession with this matter, so he just sighed and did not continue to persuade him.

Realm of self-cultivation, Kunlun Mountains.

Xu Yinglian's sword crossed many mountains and finally landed near a lake.

She felt that her thoughts were extremely messy recently, and she couldn't calm down to think about problems, so she decided to leave Donghai temporarily and find a place to organize her thoughts.

The most confusing thing at present is the so-called "organization behind Chang Geng".

At the same time, each faction stole the fragments of the Sky-Mending Stone due to traitors. Therefore, it is inferred that there must be an organization behind it that can send so many people as traitors.

There is nothing flawed in such reasoning, the only problem is the lack of evidence.

If it is really established, then the victims can completely unite. For example, I unite with Shushan Jiangxiao and Penglai Dongyou. I want to find Brother Chang Geng, and they also want to find Qingheng and Jingyun. Everyone's interests are the same There is no conflict.

Xu Yinglian thought so too at first, until Shi Liuli actually backstabbed her... That's right, he said that he wanted to restrain the demon together, but in the end he slipped away quietly alone. Isn't this a backstab?

She was extremely angry and annoyed at first, but when she followed Witch Jiang down to the seabed grotto and found that the cave had already been deserted, Xu Yinglian quickly noticed something was wrong with her delicate heart.

Why did Shi Liuli disappear?

There were not many traces of fighting at the scene, and considering Dongyou's calculation ability, she might not have entered the ambush circle in a daze without leaving any clues for help... So we can draw a conclusion that she did it voluntarily. And obediently follow the other party to leave.

Those who can do this will not think of anyone other than Jing Yun, but even if Dong You has been there early, there is no reason to leave Xu Yinglian and go to the seabed grotto alone. After all, this kind of deception It's too offending.

Based on Xu Yinglian's understanding of Shi Liuli, although this fellow Taoist never said anything surprising, he was the kind of person who kept his thoughts hidden in his heart, and would definitely not do meaningless things.

In other words, it was some reason that drove Shi Liuli to abandon herself.

Or to be more precise, Xu Yinglian thinks that as the next heir to the head teacher of Kunlun, there are not many things in the world worth offending him for, but for Shi Liuli, who was born in Tiangongfang and has seen all the treasures in the world In other words, there are very few possible choices—I am afraid that only Jing Yun is worth letting her turn against Kunlun.

But how could he be unfavorable to Jing Yun?That person is not related to him, and he has no contact with him in the past. Why did Shi Liuli judge that once he sees Jing Yun, he will be disadvantageous to him... Or, it is not in Shi Liuli's interest?

Xu Yinglian pondered for a long time, and gradually felt the logic became clear:

This matter can actually be deduced in reverse, that is, instead of thinking about "what is worthy of Shi Liuli's offending yourself", but guessing "what is worthy of breaking with Shi Liuli".

Earlier than Kunlun, Penglai decided a long time ago to let Dongyou be the successor, firstly because of Jingyun's second-grade golden elixir, secondly because of Tiangongfang's dominance in casting, and thirdly because of Shi Liuli. His own arithmetic ability and meticulous thinking make him the best candidate to manage the sect.

From this point of view, even if I have a conflict of interest with her, at most it is arguing with each other, but it is unlikely that I will really tear my face and attack.

In other words, what would cause him to immediately turn hostile towards her?So much so that Shi Liuli made a judgment that he would rather deceive himself to help Jiang Xiao deal with the big demon than let himself reach the seabed grotto first?

Considering this direction, the conclusion is obvious:

Chang Gung.

If Shi Liuli were to be unfavorable to Chang Geng, he would definitely turn against her.

Combining the previous inferences into one, it is possible that either Jing Yun or Chang Geng was there, or even both of them were there.

Shi Liuli pre-judged that when she got there, she would immediately turn hostile with her, so she used words to trick her, and went to the seabed grotto first in private.

"So senior brother and Jing Yun are fighting each other!" Xu Yinglian finally concluded, "Once I get there, I will definitely help senior brother fight Jing Yun, and this is what Shi Liuli doesn't want to see, so she abandoned me halfway go!"

"That's not right." Feng Lan in the Sea of ​​Consciousness said, "Aren't there no traces of fighting down there?"

"It may not be to the point of fighting." Xu Yinglian said seriously, "Or they are just hostile to each other, but they didn't fight?"

"If that's the case, what's the difference between you being there and not being there?" Feng Lan still felt wrong, "What Shi Liuli is most afraid of should be your fighting skills. After all, you are much better than her in this area. She is worried that she won't be able to beat her." You, so I will drag you on top."

"But there are no traces of fighting techniques down there." Xu Yinglian said.

"So it may not be that both Jing Yun and Chang Geng are below and are hostile to each other." Feng Lan concluded, "It is possible that there is only Jing Yun below, and Shi Liuli is worried that you will do something to him."

"Why isn't senior brother there, and Shi Liuli wants to attack him?" Xu Yinglian asked subconsciously, and then quickly reacted.

How could Shi Liuli beat senior brother... It is reasonable for me to attack Jing Yun, but why did I kill Jing Yun?

"Could it be that Jing Yun is actually a heavenly demon?" Feng Lan said suddenly, "Look, isn't the true identity of the deputy suzerain of Fan Shengdao a great free heavenly demon?"

"It's a little possible." Xu Yinglian said with a smile, "If I find out that Jing Yun is a demon, I will definitely turn my face. If Dongyou is protecting her, I can only treat her as a madman and fight her together. kill."

"But what you said is absolutely impossible. Jing Yun can be a traitor in the human race, but it can't be a demon, unless you think the Wanxiang Immortal is a fool who will be deceived by illusion."

"That's not impossible." Feng Lan said, "Didn't it be said that there was a demon clan trying to lurk in the human world and steal the Taiyin Suming Sword?"

"It all happened 10,000+ years ago..." Xu Yinglian said with a sigh, "Now at least the Zongmen Formation and many restrictions will have the function of detecting bloodlines."

"It's not a demon, and it's not a demon clan, so why did you turn your face?" Feng Lan laughed casually, "It can't be a traitor from Kunlun, right?"

"You mean senior brother?" Xu Yinglian said boredly, "Then how could Jing Yun be senior brother..."

Then, she suddenly froze.

Because she suddenly remembered one thing, that is, in the secret realm of Yuting Gate, she saw Shi Liuli block An Zhisu's attack for a certain man with her own eyes.

That man claimed to be "Wangshan Taoist", and he had played tricks on him near Baicheng, and Xu Yinglian highly suspected that the other party was his senior brother until now.

But Shi Liuli, who was supposed to have nothing to do with senior brother, suddenly blocked the attack for senior brother...

"No way?" Xu Yinglian felt a strong sense of disobedience at this time, as if he was standing in front of the gate of hell, wanting to go further to find the answer, but was horrified by the inexplicable sense of crisis, "Jing Yun , brother...how could it be the same person? This..."

She stabilized her mood a little, and then said:

"Not to mention anything else, how did senior brother manage to be in Kunlun and Penglai? He only has twelve hours a day, right? I spent time with him in the past, but I have never seen him come and go from Penglai frequently!"
