Chapter 323: No Room for Optimism

otel across from the bar. He stared intently at the entrance of the bar, having meals, changing medicine, and changing clothes all with the help of paid services. He waited anxiously until nightfall a...Without a word, Wuyou sent Lianri to the courtyard where she was staying and bowed farewell. He wasn't sure if bringing Lianri to Ziyungong this time was right or wrong.

Ripples had no time to consider the other party's feelings. After Wuyou left, she waved her hand and closed the door, setting up a barrier after which she contacted Shiu.

"Nineteen, you reminded me before that the original owner's memories would give me hints. Is it because I was taken to the capital for sealing or was it because of the fragments of the evil weapon being nurtured"

You can understand it this way: the beginning of the collapse of the dynasty was due to the emperor's greed for worldly power. In order to maintain his rule forever, he desired immortality.

And his greed also attracted the vessel of evil, which was his original self, and he step by step walked towards destruction.

This is the content I saw when I didn't have complete information. Now I know that this world has been reversed three times. As the source of evil appears, the fragments of the evil artifact are also exposed one by one. It's not surprising that there are some fragments of the evil artifact in the capital city as the center of power.

"This is the first I'm hearing of it. Turns out, Ziyungong sent some fragments of a demonic artifact to the capital city. That explains why you saw the dragon energy being eroded there."

"Whether it's intentional or unintentional, I can't quite tell about the Purple Cloud Palace."

With a faint voice, she caressed the beads on her wrist with her fingertips.

"Just wait and see!"

Then the stone mill went silent online, and Lian'er held Linghui into a state of cultivation.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. Lian Ri opened her eyes and let out a soft breath. She waved her hand, dissolving the isolating barrier, and walked out of the room.

Wuyou was already there, and when he saw the ripples, his expression became complicated, but he still stepped forward and bowed.

"Senior Lu Yao, please follow me to the Ziyundian Palace. All the uncles and aunts are waiting for you."

Thank you!

The ripples followed Wuyou to the main hall of Ziyungong.

Zi Dai and the others had been waiting for a while. They were still whispering to each other in low voices. When Lian Yi entered, they greeted each other and immediately got down to business.

"Lu Yao Fairy, after we parted ways, we examined the sealed demonic artifacts within the Purple Cloud Palace. There was indeed a leakage of evil energy. We reinforced them overnight, and..."

After saying that, Zi Jiang sighed and continued,

And some fragments were missing from the seal.

They were pleased with their open and transparent approach.

"I have three fragments here. After seeing the part of the cursed artifact that you sealed, I can determine if they are from the same artifact."

Ripple replied directly.

Then silence fell over the main hall, and the expressions of the four people became somewhat solemn. Lian Yi narrowed her eyes and continued to ask:

Have you verified the situation in Beijing

"Ziyun at the palace said everything was normal, the seal was intact!"

Zi Dai raised her head and looked at the ripples, saying,

Liàn Yī nodded thoughtfully, surveyed the surroundings with a smile, and drew everyone's attention to herself.

Although I hate to say this, there’s a thief among your ranks in the Ziyungong. Those fragments wouldn't have left the seal on their own, and Ziyun, who insists that the capital is safe, is the prime suspect. And if my judgment is correct, his cultivation level is the highest among you all.

"Lu Yao Fairy"

Zi Jiang only said Lian Yi's Dao name, then couldn't say anything more.

"Well, this seems to be an internal matter of your Ziyungong. I'm only concerned with a few things now, please tell me the truth."

"Please speak, fairy maiden."

When you contacted Daoist Ziyun in Beijing, did you reveal my identity

"Not at all."

"Very well. Tell Wuyou that for my own sake, he best keep his lips sealed about me."

"Good."

When inquiring about the capital's situation, did you mention any fragments of demonic energy

"There wasn't anything. When we had our doubts, we said that the seal here might be loosening and reminded Brother Ziyun to pay attention to the shard seals in Beijing. He didn't have any suspicions."

Zidian spoke in a low voice.

"Since you all have noble intentions, I won't waste your time. I will use the power of my Transcendent Thunder Tribulation to purify the evil energy on the fragments of the cursed weapon."

"Thunder tribulation!"

Could Lu Yao Xianzi's cultivation attract a tribulation thunder

Zi Dai and Zi Jiang almost spoke at the same time, their faces still showing surprise.

The ripples scanned the four people with a strange look and said:

"You all have established foundations, haven't you experienced the Nineteen Thunder Tribulations"

Then a long silence filled the hall. Purple Crimson sighed and said:

Only the founding ancestor had triggered a tribulation lightning bolt during his ascension, but we have inferior aptitude. Although we have ascended, none of us has triggered a tribulation lightning bolt.

Now the ripples didn't know how to respond. After thinking for a moment, she directly said:

"Lu Yao's visit to Ziyungong this time was indeed somewhat disrespectful, but I have my own mission. To compensate, I will bestow upon Ziyungong a collection of talismans and formations, as well as a complete set of Wuxing Gongfa. What do you all think"

Zi Dai and the others heard Lian Yi's words, their faces filled with surprise that they couldn't contain. They all thanked Lian Yi together, and for a moment, the heavy atmosphere in the hall eased up.

Ripple didn't beat around the bush. He immediately took a pen and wrote down that method of cultivating based on the five elements. This method is applicable to any spiritual root, easy to learn, and focuses on the cultivator's accumulation and comprehension. The highest level one can achieve is the Nascent Soul stage. This is determined by the limit this world can bear.

The four of them were overjoyed, writing and reading by the ripples' edge. They even began to ponder the profound meaning within. The only sound in the grand hall was the scratching of brushes against paper.

As the sun began to set, ripples finished writing down the entire martial arts technique. Then, taking a sip of cool tea, he turned his head and discovered that two out of the four people were actually meditating to cultivate their skills. Zi Dai and Zi Jiang were still carefully looking at the martial arts technique in their hands.

"Purple Jade Daoist Friend, tomorrow morning, please take me to deal with the fragments of the evil artifacts that you sealed. I want to set up an array in advance."

Zi Jiang lightly put down the paper in her hand recording the techniques, responding very decisively. Lian Ri then turned and left the hall.

After the ripples had completely disappeared from their sight, Zi Dai whispered:

"Senior brother, is what we are doing right"

"What else can we do We are no match for them. And now we don't even know if Ziyun has turned against us. The evil artifact mentioned by Lu Yao Fairy, our Ziyun Palace has sealed it for nearly two hundred years, and now we are struggling."

We both know that the seal will eventually lose its power. If Ziyun Palace falls, who else will be responsible

Lu Yao Fairy's cultivation level is above ours, and she is capable of attracting a tribulation. She is a chosen one who can help Purple Cloud Palace achieve a permanent solution. Let's take a gamble!

Furthermore, although Lu Yao Fairy acts domineeringly, she is a reasonable person. This cultivation technique is exceptionally profound and cannot be obtained outside of the orthodox lineage of Xuanmen. It is even deeper than the techniques left by the master ancestor.

Since we have benefited, it is natural to show our sincerity. After the evil fragments of Ziyun Palace are purified, I will go to the capital with Lu Yao Xianzi. We must find out the true situation of Master Ziyun, otherwise, I will never be at ease.

Zijiang stroked his beard, his face grave as he spoke.

"My junior sister understands, just do as my senior brother said."

Only then did the ripples withdraw contentedly, its divine consciousness satisfied.anded over her "golden finger" that she suffered terribly in the subsequent disaster.Although she was saved by Dong Ziqing and weathered the initial storm and heavy rain, after entering the frigid wea...
