Longevity and Immortal Cultivation: Starting from Controlling Your Own Essence

"...Let's go and have a look."

Zhang Yao pondered over and over again, and finally decided to investigate.

He didn't know exactly what location this emerald bead corresponds to, but Yu Wenhua obviously knew something inside.

Since Yu Wenhua was able to patiently stay in the Lu country to wait for the opportunity, it meant that the place was obviously not dangerous, at least for him.

One of the most important reasons for Zhang Yao to make this judgment is the emerald green bead in his hand.

"This bead is not a magic weapon, and it doesn't have the effects of blood test, mana identification, etc."

"That is to say, whoever gets it can use it, and can detect the corresponding location..."

Thinking of this, Zhang Yao felt more at ease.

There are two kinds of confidence that Yuwen Hua can wait for safely:

First, the builder of that place has a close relationship with the ancestors of the Liu family, so he has mastered some special methods and tricks to avoid danger.

Second, there is no danger at all in that place, as long as you go there with the 'key', you can open the door and enter.

Judging from the characteristics of this emerald bead, it is obviously the latter case.

"boom!"

Zhang Yao controlled the flying sword, turned into a yellow streamer, left Wuyin Island, and headed towards Qinzhou.

"If you don't take God's gift, you will be blamed instead."

"If you don't dare to take the opportunity that comes to your door, wouldn't you really be a shrinking turtle?"

…………

After half an hour.

Zhang Yao traveled hundreds of miles and came to Cangmang Mountain in Qinzhou.

In the depths of Cangmang Mountain, dilapidated and stretching mountain roads can be vaguely seen. Among the large ruins, the wild grass is desolate.

"Time has passed, Cangmang City has also disappeared..."

Zhang Yao secretly sighed, and recalled the eventful years back then.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Lu Kingdom, Cangmang City occupied a favorable location and natural dangers, and there were martial arts masters sitting in the town, so it was able to settle down in a corner.

But when the national strength of the Lu State grew stronger and Nie Luncai died of old age, Cangmang City was attacked by the imperial army and reduced to ruins.

The Cao Gang in Jiangzhou is still there today, because there will always be people who rely on water transportation for their livelihood. As long as they are still under control, the court will tolerate it.

But once a separatist force like Cangmang City, a country within a country, is destroyed, there will be no chance of rebuilding it.

"Well, it seems to be coming soon..."

Zhang Yao's expression moved slightly, the echo in his mind became stronger, and the green beads in his hand began to buzz and vibrate.

After going deeper for a while, Zhang Yao came to a canyon, lowered the light, and explored carefully.

"strangeness……"

Zhang Yao searched around in the canyon, but found nothing, so he couldn't help frowning.

He can be sure that this is the place opposite to the echo, but let alone the ruins or the entrance, he didn't even find a trace of man-made traces.

No matter how you look at it, this is a natural canyon with no human population.

"Um……"

Zhang Yao pondered for a while, and gave up searching by himself, but borrowed the feedback from the green bead in his hand to start searching bit by bit.

After spending several hours:

In the end, he stood still in front of a cliff, and determined that this was the place with the strongest vibration feedback and the most likely entrance.

"How can this be?"

Zhang Yao tried it for a while, but couldn't help being a little surprised.

After getting the answer, he checked the cliff again, but the result was the same as before.

He didn't notice any traces of formations or restrictions.

In other words, even if it was obvious that there was something wrong with this cliff, he couldn't find it.

"The secret hidden here is probably more amazing than I imagined."

Zhang Yao took a light breath, and went to catch some wild animals to touch the cliff. He observed carefully and thought deeply at the same time.

After a while, he carefully stretched out his right hand.

The moment the green bead on the right hand touched the rock——

With a flash in front of his eyes, he suddenly found that the cliff in front of him disappeared out of thin air, and a long gap in the cliff appeared.

"call……"

Zhang Yao took a deep breath and walked slowly along the crevice of the cliff.

But after more than a dozen feet, it suddenly became clear to the eyes. On the square paved with white jade, a majestic palace stood tall, magnificent and exquisite, with a myriad of scenes.

In front of the palace, on a tall white jade tablet, there are a few simple big characters engraved - Bing-sixth leyline node.

"Earth vein node?"

Zhang Yao's expression moved slightly, lost in thought.

Qinzhou has been known as "the middle of the world" since ancient times, and it is the central state in the territory of the nineteen states.

The location of Cangmang Mountain happens to be in the center of Qinzhou, which can be said to be the "origin of the earth" of the entire Lu Kingdom.

"What does this so-called ley line node represent?"

"There is also this palace, and I don't know who built it..."

Zhang Yao thought for a moment, then went around to the back of the white jade tablet, and found a map engraved on it.

He looked carefully for a moment, and recognized the central part of the map, which was exactly the territory of the nineteen prefectures of the State of Lu.

In this vast map, the territory of the nineteen prefectures of the Lu State is like a well-designed jigsaw puzzle, and it fits together with several other maps.

What separates these "puzzle pieces" are dark and thick lines, which clearly represent the barren belts that divide the borders of the country.

"Map, barren zone..."

Zhang Yao thought for a moment, and had some guesses in his mind, but he didn't have any more clues, so he could only suppress the matter temporarily.

He went deep along the Baiyu Square and boarded the magnificent palace.

Inside the palace, there is an empty space, the floor tiles are some kind of dark yellow metal, without any decorations or reliefs, it looks extremely simple.

And in the deepest part of the palace:

In a small pond about several feet square, the emerald green water kept churning, and beside it stood a smaller white jade tablet.

"Looks like it's here."

Zhang Yao cheered up, came to the small pool, and looked at the small white jade tablet first.

On this white jade stele, there are a few lines of small characters that are vigorous and powerful:

"Earth vein nodes cannot be destroyed, and those who dare to disobey will be punished by every monk in the world!"

"Earth soul crystals, one is born every six days, and the monks of the younger generation hold the earth vein spirit beads and can take them by themselves."

Zhang Yao's expression changed:

"Earth Soul Crystal? This sounds like a good thing!"

He turned his head to look at the small pool beside him, and saw some light yellow crystals scattered in the turbulent emerald green water.

At a glance, there are at least a dozen pieces.

"There are so many..."

Zhang Yao was slightly startled.

According to the inscription, this earth soul crystal can only be born every six Jiazi, that is, three hundred and sixty years.

There are so many earth soul crystals in this pool, which means that no one has been here for at least thousands of years.

"This ley line node is related to the barren belt, and it was probably built in ancient times."

"I don't know what happened during this period..."

Holding the Earth Vein Spirit Orb in his hand, Zhang Yao carefully cast the 'Catch Object Curse' to capture the Earth Soul crystals in the pool.

"Shua!" "Shua"...

One after another, pale yellow crystals broke away from the pool water and landed on the floor tiles.
