Chapter 1608 Hidden Immortal Island, Golden Core Ancestor!
Chapter 1608 Hidden Immortal Island, Golden Core Ancestor!
Hidden Fairy Island!
A streak of light streaked across the sky...
Soon, the streak of light, trailing a long tail, slid into the sparsely populated back mountain.
The aura dissipates!
The blurry figure within the shield then appeared in front of a stone gate.
However, this stone door looks ordinary, as if it was cast from rock.
For a cultivator, he can penetrate it without any hindrance with just a little effort.
But if you look closely, you can find that this stone door occasionally has a mysterious light flowing, and at the same time, complex array patterns emerge.
The vision appeared quickly and disappeared even faster!
If you are a little careless, you will not be able to notice these abnormalities.
Obviously.
This stone door is not as simple as imagined.
Followed by.
Cheng Daoxian, the current patriarch of the Cheng family of immortals, showed up. He exhaled lightly and straightened his clothes.
After making sufficient preparations, he made a counterattack...
A red sound transmission note appeared between the two fingers of his right hand.
Then, the corners of his mouth moved slightly, and the sound condensed into a beam and sank into the talisman.
Just wave your hand!
A stream of red light shot out and rushed towards the stone gate in front.
At this moment, a faint glow shone through the stone gate, covering it inside.
Look again...
The red light was like a swimming fish, running around in the rosy glow, as if it had infinite energy and had no intention of stopping.
In this regard.
Outside the stone gate, Cheng Daoxian, the current patriarch of the Cheng family, was not surprised either. As he waited quietly...
It didn't take long.
The red light that was flying around in the rosy glow suddenly flashed and disappeared into thin air.
At the same time, the rosy glow emanating from the stone gate seemed to have sensed something and rolled back, sinking into the stone gate again.
After a while...
A long voice came from inside the stone gate.
"come in!"
As these words fell...
A complex pattern appeared on the surface of the stone door. After flashing slightly, the stone door opened automatically without wind.
See this scene.
Cheng Daoxian, who was standing outside the stone gate, did not hesitate and strode directly into the cave.
Although the light in this cave is a little dim, the cultivators have the ability of night vision, so naturally it will not be affected.
You can also clearly see the simple layout in the front hall of the cave.
There are several stone chairs on both sides of the front hall, as well as a stone chair on a small platform...
There is a passage in the upper right corner and no other arrangements.
Abnormally simple.
however!
This is the only cave residence of the Golden Core Ancestor in the clan.
Although Cheng Daoxian had come to the ancestor's cave several times since he took the throne of the clan leader, he was always extremely impressed by the ancestor's determination to pursue the Tao after each visit.
After all, he had seen the caves of other Jindan seniors before...
Even the simplest cave is hundreds of times more luxurious than the cave of his ancestors.
same.
The image of his ancestor as a hardworking monk was also deeply engraved in his heart.
Just as Cheng Daoxian's thoughts were surging...
Many afterimages flashed by.
Before he could react, he saw a figure with hands behind his back appear in front of him.
Seeing this familiar figure, Cheng Daoxian immediately bowed and said:
"Daoxian, meet the ancestor!"
next moment.
Cheng Changyuan slowly turned around, frowned slightly, looked at the junior in front of him, and said in a slightly unhappy tone:
"Didn't I tell you that no one in this clan is allowed to call me 'Ancestor'?"
Hear the words.
Cheng Daoxian replied subconsciously:
"Can···"
Before he finished speaking, Cheng Changyuan's expression gradually became serious.
Seeing this, Cheng Daoxian immediately stopped talking and took back all the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
Although he didn't understand why his ancestor would care so much about the title of "ancestor"?
And never explain why!
However, he also knew that he couldn't continue to dwell on this topic, so he had to change the topic:
"Uncle! I've made note of it.
I will never make the same mistake again next time."
Hearing this, Cheng Changyuan's brows finally relaxed.
Although he knew that the other party might make the same mistake again next time, he didn't want to correct him again.
A similar scene has happened before.
Unfortunately, the other party refused to change despite repeated warnings, and Cheng Changyuan felt helpless.
After a few times, he is now a little tired.
I don’t want to say anything more!
However, this younger generation's character and cultivation make him the best candidate to be the clan leader.
Otherwise, he really wanted to replace a younger generation as the patriarch.
Unfortunately, Cheng Daoxian in front of him didn't know that his ancestor had already thought about re-electing the clan leader...
If he knew, he would never change his ways despite repeated admonitions!
But Cheng Daoxian didn't know all this.
At this time, Cheng Changyuan seemed to remember something and asked directly:
"Daoxian, what urgent matter do you want to see me for?
But has something happened to the family?"
Hear the words.
Cheng Daoxian did not hide anything and directly told the whole story.
He also emphasized and explained in detail the recent arrival of a Yuanying Zhenjun senior from the Immortal Alliance in Xuanfeng Immortal City, as well as the speculations and arrangements of a group of elders.
After he finished speaking, Cheng Changyuan pondered for a moment before asking:
"After the Immortal Alliance conveyed the decree, did you guys smooth things over?"
of course.
This is not because Cheng Changyuan is afraid of death and dare not respond to the call of the Immortal Alliance.
But now in the lineage of Hidden Immortal Island, he is the only Jindan cultivator.
Once he had an accident in the forbidden sea...
The immortal race that has been passed down for hundreds of years will inevitably decline.
With only these younger generations in the clan who are at the foundation-building stage, I'm afraid they can't even protect this spiritual island.
It is inevitable that it will fall into the hands of other forces.
Be serious!
It may even lead to the destruction of the entire family.
Although those forces did not dare to act blatantly under the protection of the Immortal Alliance, without a Jindan cultivator like him in charge, their dirty tricks would definitely bring down the family.
Even if there is stability, it is only temporary.
The Immortal Alliance will not protect the Cheng family forever. They will only look after them for a hundred years at most!
What's more, the location of Hidden Immortal Island is not close to the major immortal cities of the Immortal Alliance...
Once a Jindan cultivator takes action, the fate of the younger generation is self-evident.
This is also the real reason why many Jindan ancestors of the immortal clans dare not respond to the Venerable's decree.
of course.
There are also some Jindan cultivators who are truly afraid of death.
the other side!
Cheng Daoxian was not surprised by the old ancestor's question.
Before he sat on the throne of the patriarch, didn't he feel the weight of the responsibility on his shoulders?
Until the responsibility falls on his shoulders...
Only then did Cheng Daoxian understand how great the pressure was?
Not to mention Patriarch Chang Yuan, who has always been responsible for the safety of the family.
The pressure is definitely greater than his.
It's been longer than his!
It is precisely because of this understanding that Cheng Daoxian is full of worries about the future of his family!
Immediately.
He suppressed the distracting thoughts in his heart, shook his head and said:
"Uncle!
As soon as I learned about this decree, I went to the Immortal Alliance headquarters in person to smooth things over.
But this time, I was sent out without even seeing that adult.
Later, I found out through inquiries that this Taoist decree was a decision issued by the elders of the two tribes, and no one was an exception.
Moreover, this time the Immortal Alliance also established a temporary supervisory department to investigate cultivators who were corrupt and abusive within the organization.
So far, the Immortal Alliance has executed two Nascent Soul monsters and dozens of Golden Core cultivators.
I heard that they are all powerful elders of top sects."
As Cheng Daoxian spoke out this information...
The flame of hope in Cheng Changyuan's heart grew dimmer and dimmer, until it was completely extinguished.
Obviously.
He also knew that the Immortal Alliance had made such a great determination to smooth over relations and avoid this disaster, but there was not even the slightest hope.
At least with the current power of Hidden Immortal Island, it will definitely not be able to escape this disaster.
Although Cheng Changyuan felt a little desperate...
But in front of the younger generation, he did not show the slightest sign of abnormality and still appeared very calm and composed!
It seemed that this incident did not cause much impact on him.
The main reason was that Cheng Changyuan knew that if he, the only Jindan cultivator in the clan, lost his composure, then for the younger generations in the clan...
It's like the sky is falling!
It would be strange if nothing went wrong.
Because of this, superiors often have strong facial expressions and the ability to manage emotions.
Otherwise, you cannot become a qualified leader.
Then Cheng Changyuan suppressed his irritability and calmly said:
"Don't interfere in this matter, leave it to me!"
Hear the words.
Cheng Daoxian also understood the ancestor's choice.
Obviously.
The ancestor is ready to sacrifice himself and respond to the call of the Immortal Alliance in order to preserve the inheritance of the Cheng family.
At this moment, Cheng Daoxian secretly swore in his heart:
'Ancestor, don't worry!
Daoxian will never cut off the bloodline inheritance of our clan.
As for those villains who want to overthrow our clan, even if I die, I will still kill them.'
Think about this.
Cheng Daoxian stood with his head bowed, a look of determination flashing in the depths of his eyes, but it was gone in a flash.
Even Cheng Changyuan failed to notice the subtle changes in the younger generation in front of him.
at the same time!
Cheng Daoxian felt that there was not much time left for the family, and some preparations needed to be made in advance.
So he didn't delay here. After bowing, he left the hall.
After Cheng Daoxian disappeared from Cheng Changyuan's sight...
He then slowly withdrew his gaze.
Then, a murmur was heard in the front hall.
“It’s come to this!
For the sake of family inheritance, we can only ask our ancestors for help now."
Not bad.
The reason why Cheng Changyuan didn't let the younger generations in the clan call him "Ancestor"...
It is because, in his heart, only the 'founding ancestor of the clan' is worthy of this honorific title.
of course.
He is the only one in the clan who knows this secret.
It is also the biggest secret of the Cheng family of Yinxian Island.
Another person who knows this secret is Cheng Changqing, a Jindan Zhenren from the Yunmeng Mountain lineage in the inland Jin State.
Immediately.
After Cheng Changyuan pondered for a moment in the front hall, he walked towards the quiet room in the back hall.
After arriving at the quiet room, he made a hand seal.
next moment.
Dense patterns appeared on the four walls of the quiet room and on the ground.
suddenly.
The array pattern that appeared on the right wall of this quiet room faded away.
Cheng Changyuan, who had closed a corner of the formation, had a thought...
A mysterious black and white light rose from his body.
Then, his figure flashed and turned into a black and white rotating light that shot towards the wall.
In the rock layer, the black and white rotating light rushed down obliquely.
Passing through thousands of feet of rock...
The black and white rotating light stopped in front of a dark stone wall.
At this time.
Cheng Changyuan stretched out his hand and pushed...
The dark stone wall, which seemed to be a whole, was like a black stone door that was pushed open directly.
A soft light appeared in Cheng Changyuan's field of vision.
Then, there was a flash of light.
Cheng Changyuan escaped into it.
At the same time, the Blackstone Gate closed again.
From the outside, you can't tell that this piece of black rock looks like a whole, but there is something else going on inside.
Even if one uses divine sense to detect, one cannot detect anything unusual.
the other side.
A secret room hidden in the black stone wall, at the entrance...
Sudden.
A black and white rotating stream of light flashed out of nowhere.
The spiritual light dissipated, and a thin figure appeared.
Yes, if this isn’t Cheng Changyuan, then who else could it be?
He took a look at the neatly arranged bookshelves in the secret room and walked straight forward.
Along the way...
The jade slips, golden strategies, and animal skin atlases placed on the bookshelves on both sides of Cheng Changyuan...
He didn't even look at it.
Beyond the bookshelves, there are antique shelves.
There are many treasures placed on each antique shelf.
There are bulging storage bags.
There are long-necked jade bottles, big-bellied round bottles... and many other shapes of bottles and jars.
There are also some antique shelves with rulers, towers, swords, flags, nets, furnaces, rings, boats... hundreds of different types of treasures.
And various jade boxes with different names of elixirs written on the labels.
There are also some strangely shaped metals and other treasures, which are placed here openly.
However, whether it is a Bogu shelf?
It was still the same bookshelf as before, and each treasure was covered with a very faint layer of spiritual light.
Obviously.
This is not defenseless.
however.
Cheng Changyuan did not stop at all, and went straight to the end of the antique shelf and stopped in front of a stone wall.
Then, he made a seal with one hand.
next moment.
A circle of extremely regular array patterns emerged on the black rock under his feet.
A mysterious light flashed.
Cheng Changyuan disappeared.
When he looked again, he had arrived in a palace...
In the center of the hall stands an ancient stele.
This is the true inheritance of the Cheng family of Hidden Immortal Island.
Not bad.
This ancient palace is the treasure house of Hidden Immortal Island, and the secret room just now was just a fake treasure house.
It can’t be said to be a fake library!
It can only be said to be an outer storehouse, where some low-level spiritual objects are placed.
The truly valuable treasures are still in the treasury in the back hall.
Followed by.
Cheng Changyuan walked past the ancient monument and headed backwards.
He stopped only when he reached the altar at the end of the hall!
But the items placed on the altar are very strange.
It's also very monotonous.
There was nothing else except a lifelike doll.
Seeing this, Cheng Changyuan looked at the puppet on the altar respectfully and said:
"Unfilial younger generation, pay homage to the ancestor!"
While talking.
He bowed and saluted.
Not bad!
This puppet was the one that Cheng Liu gave to Cheng Changyuan before he passed away.
same.
This puppet is also the only channel for the members of the Yinxian Island lineage to contact Cheng Buzheng.
But so many years have passed...
Cheng Changyuan hardly ever bothered his ancestor.
