Chapter 444: The information was delivered, but there was no guarantee

Taiqing Gate.

Many monks in the outer circle were meditating intently, and spiritual power came slowly, in strands and threads, gathering into lines and converging into rivers. The surging magic power was concentrated on several great monks in the main formation.

Yuan Li pinched the divine seal, and his soul came out, traveling freely in the nine heavens and ten earths, carefully collecting the scattered secrets between heaven and earth. The guardian Taoists around him sat upright, carefully protecting Yuan Li's soul, lest any external demons come to disturb it and ruin his cultivation.

A ball of spiritual light returned and sank into Yuanli's body. He slowly exited the mysterious state, a trace of paleness appeared on his face, and he slowly opened his eyes: "My fellow Taoists, please stop practicing. I have ended my spiritual journey."

The few people who were guarding him slowly took back the leaked magic power. One of them, Kun Dao, asked, "Brother, how is it going? Have you contacted the ancestor of the upper realm?"

Yuan Li nodded, then shook his head: "Now the destiny of the universe is in disarray, cause and effect are unclear, correspondence with the immortal world is even more difficult, and the world is in great trouble, so I have no choice but to ask fellow Taoists to lend me a hand."

Not only the elders of Taiqing Sect were present, but also the predecessors of Xuan Sect. If they were outside, they would all be well-known figures who stir up the world.

One of the elders took a breath and said, "Although there are many obstacles, with the combined strength of our righteousness, we will surely be able to break through the obstruction of the heavens and get a glimpse of some information, right?"

He sighed, "It's a pity that your achievements and accomplishments, Yuanli, have gone to waste in one day after thousands of years of cultivation."

Yuan Li just smiled. It was Yuan Li himself who proposed to make him the main person in the formation. The times now were different from the past. It was extremely difficult to spy on cause and effect through the secrets of heaven. They could only take risky moves and work together to break through the barrier of cause and effect. Then, one person's soul could escape into the void to obtain the will of heaven.

After this incident, his foundation in Taoism was damaged and he was considered useless. He could only rely on the spiritual energy accumulated over several lifetimes to reincarnate and have hope of ascending to heaven. He no longer had the chance to be among the immortals in this lifetime.

"I already have old injuries and my cultivation is not perfect. Even if I recuperate for a few hundred years, it will be useless. Cultivation is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. I might as well take advantage of my remaining courage and sacrifice my broken body to seek a glimmer of hope for my cultivation world."

Yuan Li said, and then looked at everyone present: "But now I am a useless body, and the next thing will depend on you guys to handle it."

All the immortals from the Xuanmen sect stood up and bowed to Yuan Li. At this moment, there was no distinction between sects or ages, as they only respected a fellow Taoist who had dedicated himself to the righteous path.

Yuan Li waved his hand, but did not dodge. He accepted the greeting. Wrinkles appeared on his face in an instant, and he no longer looked like a man with white hair and a youthful face.

"It's just that my path to the truth has been cut off, not that I'm dead. As an old immortal like me, I'll have to linger in the mortal world for nearly a hundred years before I have a chance to be reincarnated."

He said with a smile, very casually, his hands trembling a little, his Taoism skills turned to dust, and the feeling of his magic power constantly draining away was indeed not pleasant.

Yuan Li stood up tremblingly, refusing the support of the people around him: "Fortunately, this trip is not without gain. Somehow, I was able to receive the immortal consciousness of the ancestor from the upper realm. Due to the great situation of heaven and earth, I can't leave much information, and I will return immediately."

He slowly spread out his hands, and a radiant, lush green leaf appeared in his palms, with energy flowing on it. Yuan Li handed the Green Leaf Book to everyone to pass on and look at.

"I first went to investigate the origin of the demon who hurt me that day, but the origin of this demon is very strange. I couldn't find many clues even after searching the universe. I tried my best to find a little information." "The demon named Fengdu should not be a creature from this world, but an evil spirit from outside the world, a demon from outside the domain, who entered our world and met a killing calamity, a demonic calamity, in this calamity."

Everyone looked at each other. They naturally knew about the so-called outside world beyond the heaven, but they seldom had any contact with it and could neither go out nor come in. Everyone also had vague guesses about the origin of Fengdu.

In this world, it is difficult to be truly rootless and bottomless. A cultivator must earn external merit, respond to disasters, and enter into cause and effect, and must interact with others. All of these things can make one famous throughout the world. The longer one lives, the greater the reputation will be. If one wants to practice in peace and stability, and hide one's identity and status, one will only turn into ashes when disaster strikes.

Therefore, the masters in this world all have names and surnames. It is impossible for a peerless master to suddenly appear. Even if there is one, he is just a pseudonym fabricated by the evil sects and the mysterious sects. You can always find his origin by following the context of his skills and the aura of his magical powers.

But Fengdu seemed to have jumped out of the heaven and earth and was not within the five elements. After asking around, no one saw him, no one recognized him, and no one knew about his magical powers. But when he made a move, it was earth-shattering, killing all the masters of righteousness and evil.

"As expected," someone nodded, "I only thought that this demon had some connection with Youquan hundreds of years ago, but I didn't expect it to be someone from outside the world. This makes sense."

Another nun asked, "If that's the case, if there is one, there must be two. Could it be that Gu Qingyuan is also a being from outside the realm and escaped into our realm?"

Yuan Li had already explained everything Gu Qingyuan said and did using the Kunlun Mirror, but most people were skeptical and could not figure it out.

"I don't think so. When I was wandering in the void, I also checked Gu Qingyuan's background. Hundreds of years ago, there was indeed a Taoist who practiced in secret. His temple was in Zhongnan Mountain, but he didn't interact with the outside world much, so his name didn't spread out."

Yuan Li shook his head: "I sent people to investigate the Taoist temple. There is indeed spiritual power brewing and aura lingering. It takes a hundred years of pure cultivation to gather such spiritual energy. I asked the fellow Taoists in the surrounding villages and confirmed that there is indeed such a person."

"The matter of the ancient heaven is very old and involves a lot of great secrets. I can't find out anything. It seems that it was erased by someone. This is not surprising. Such a secret is related to the replacement of the old and new heavens. There must be immortals in the upper realm paying attention to it. It is common sense that I can't find out. It is strange that I can dig up some old cases."

Everyone nodded in unison. They practiced cultivation in the human world and became local emperors, while the immortal was living freely in the upper realm. The difference between them was immeasurable, a world of difference.

Yuan Li pointed at the green leaf book and said, "The ancestor did tell me that he will descend to the mortal world soon. And it will not be just one immortal, but thousands of immortals. He asked me to notify them so that I can deal with it properly."

The righteous immortals had been shocked for a moment after reading the Green Leaf Book, but because they had deep experience in cultivating their Qi, they could not notice anything unusual. It was only when they heard someone start talking that the immortals began to ask questions.

"Why are there so many immortals descending to the mortal world? Could it be from the immortal world..."

Yuan Li pursed his lips and said, "The details are still unclear. The ancestors of the upper realm didn't have time to explain, and only left a few words. Fortunately, we have taken the lead, and the world has changed. Those immortals came at the right time. After all, if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. If the immortal ancestors don't come, we can only go up. Now, of course, it depends on the immortals in the heaven."

Upon hearing this, some were happy while others were sad, and the entire hall fell silent.
