The experience during this period had made Wang Can mature a lot. The ecstasy of victory did not last long. After returning to the Holy Zhi Palace, he temporarily put the victory behind him and discussed the problem of the Wang family's Mountain-protecting Formation with the fat man.
The fat man took out the ancient book that recorded the formation and told Officer Wang about the current progress. He also told Officer Wang about the problems they had encountered.
I couldn't get involved in the matter of the formation, so I didn't want to join them. With the help of the Taoist Palace's magical ability to convert witchcraft energy, I began to meditate to recover my witchcraft energy.
Not long after I sat down, the Qilin ran out of nowhere. He ignored the three of us and swayed to the gate of the Taoist Palace. His hair fluttered in the wind as he stood there majestically.
The fat man was talkative. When he saw the Qilin, he burst out laughing. He didn't have time to discuss the formation with Officer Wang and said to me with a smile, "No wonder you said it looked like a big dog. Look at it now. It's just a watchdog.
Third Baby, when we go back to our hometown, we can build a house and let the Qilin squat at the door every day. That guy will look majestic. "
Hearing the fat man's words, I didn't respond, but the Qilin suddenly turned his head and coldly glanced at the fat man.
The fat man shrank his head. I guessed he remembered the Qilin's heroic appearance when he broke the Wang family's formation. He smiled awkwardly and shut his mouth.
Why did he have to provoke the Qilin? I scolded him. "I think you look like a watchdog. When the time comes, you and the Qilin will stand on the left and right. That will be the most majestic."
The fat man curled his lips and muttered, "If you don't want to guard the door, then forget it. Lu Zhenyang will return the Devil Refining Gourd to me. I will catch two dogs and put them in there to cultivate. I will refine them into stronger big dogs to guard the door."
I couldn't help but laugh. The fat man's head was full of strange ideas.
Anyway, the Devil Refining Gourd could enhance the cultivation of monsters. Maybe his idea could come true.
After chatting for a while, I was about to continue my cultivation. Suddenly, I felt a strong wave of True Essence outside the Taoist Palace. It came from a distance. Before I could react, I heard a voice outside.
"Senior, I don't have bad intentions this time. I have an appointment with Zhou Yi to discuss something!"
Senior?
I opened my eyes and looked outside. At first glance, I saw Lu Zhenyang bowing in front of the qilin.
I was still wondering why the Qilin suddenly ran to the door and stood there. It turned out that Lu Zhenyang had come.
I didn't know why the Qilin was standing at the door.
I don't know what kind of bad luck Lu Zhenyang has. Ever since the Qilin appeared, it didn't care about anyone. Usually, when the fatty and I offended it, it didn't react at all.
Wang and the fat man stopped and looked at the Qilin. at the door, the Qilin had the Qilin.
The Qilin, the Qilin, the door, and the same, the Qilin the same of the Qilin, the door.
I, Qilin, Wang.., the King and Qt., Wang Qilin., Wang, Wang and Qilin.
Qian, they, I, the Qilin. I I., I, I, I, I, I, the the Wang.
't. I, I., Wang. Heaven. War. Wang., and I, in. Lu., Book., Wang. T.
Lu Zhenyang had fulfilled his promise. It was time for the Fatty and me to fulfill our promise.
Lu Zhenyang had fulfilled his promise. It was time for the Fatty and me to fulfill our promise.
It's not that I haven't thought about the place Lu Zhenyang mentioned these days. However, Lu Zhenyang's way of doing things is always confusing. Moreover, after he came out of the mausoleum of the Shang Dynasty, his power had increased several times. His entire body exudes a mysterious aura. I tried to guess, but I couldn't guess what kind of place it was. I could only wait for him to tell me.
After walking out of the palace, Lu Zhenyang looked at the Qilin behind me. He bowed again and carefully retreated a dozen steps. After making sure the Qilin was still in his original position, he looked at me. "The Heavenly Grand Ritual is over. You should fulfill your promise, right?"
When he talked to me, Lu Zhenyang returned to his usual coldness. He didn't waste any time and went straight to the point. He talked about the agreement from last time.
Of course, we didn't have anything to talk about. It would be strange if he came to greet me.
I didn't waste any time and nodded. "Tell me. When and where?"
"One month from now, Zhulu, Hebei!"
As he said that, he extended his hand and threw a talisman to me before continuing, "Use this talisman to communicate. If I have other matters that need to be brought forward or postponed, I will inform you through this sound transmitting talisman."
I extended my hand to catch the talisman. When I lowered my head, I saw that it was another talisman.
After Lu Zhenyang said that, he didn't wait for my reply. He glanced at the Qilin before turning to leave.
I held the talisman in my hand as I tried to guess his motive for going to Zhulu, Hebei.
Zhulu... When I heard those two words, the first thought that popped into my mind was Chiyou.
It was said that the Yellow Emperor fought Chiyou at Zhulu and used the power of the Xuanyuan Sword to kill Chiyou. To prevent him from reviving, he split his body into two.
One was the body, which was buried in Juye County of Heze City. It was known as Chiyou's Shoulder Grave. It was the Chiyou tomb that Liang Tianxin had brought me to. Lu Zhenyang had also obtained Chiyou's inheritance there. The second was the head, which was buried in Zhulu, Hebei. It was known as Chiyou's Skull Grave.
If Lu Zhenyang wanted to go to Zhulu, Hebei with me, it was highly possible that he wanted to find Chiyou's Skull Grave!
However, he had already obtained Chiyou's inheritance. Why did he want to find Chiyou's Skull Grave?
Could it be that there were some magic tools or cultivation techniques left by Chiyou in the Skull Grave?
Or, was it because the inheritance he had obtained in Chiyou's Shoulder Grave wasn't complete?
After all, there were two Chiyou tombs, which meant that there might be two inheritances.
Aside from his goal, what I couldn't understand was why he wanted me to go.
Liang Tianxin had taken me to the Chiyou's Shoulder Grave in order to use my witchcraft energy to open the door to the tomb.
Lu Zhenyang didn't practice witchcraft energy, but he could freely enter and exit Chiyou's Shoulder Grave. From this, I guessed that he could also go through the Skull Grave. He didn't need me.
After thinking about it for a while, I couldn't figure out the reason. I put this matter aside for the time being. I put away the talisman that Lu Zhenyang had given me and prepared to return to the Holy Palace.
As soon as I turned around, I met Officer Wang's eyes.
He looked at Lu Zhenyang's back and asked me, "Holy Sage, did Lu Zhenyang admit defeat last time because you agreed to this?"
When Lu Chengyi and Lu Chengping agreed to admit defeat in the arena, Officer Wang wasn't there. However, I guessed that he should have heard the news from Fu. I guessed that he had long wanted to ask me about the agreement between Lu Zhenyang and me.
I didn't intend to let Officer Wang know about it. Who would have thought that Lu Zhenyang would come here and tell me about it?
Since he already knew about it, I didn't need to hide it. I nodded and admitted it.
Officer Wang knew the relationship between Lu Zhenyang and me, and he could imagine the risk I had to take.
After getting the answer, he looked at me with more respect.
After a moment of silence, he gritted his teeth and did not dwell on this matter any longer. He just said, "The Sage and Brother Lin helped Wang Can defend his position as the leader. Wangwu Grotto-Heaven will never forget your great kindness.
When the protective formation is repaired, I'll arrange things here. One month later, when the Holy Sage goes to the meeting, please bring Officer Wang with you. "
Officer Wang wore a serious face. The fatty and I exchanged looks. We knew that no matter how much we tried to persuade him, he wouldn't change his mind.
Reluctantly, I nodded and agreed. I promised to inform him when the time came.
Officer Wang didn't stay in the Holy Palace for long. He told me that the Heavenly Grand Ritual was coming to an end. As the organizer, Wangwu Grotto-Heaven had a lot of things to do. Not long after, he left.
Seeing Officer Wang leave, the fatty moved closer to me and asked, "Are you going to take him with you?"
I sighed and shook my head. "No, I'm not."
Officer Wang had too many things on his shoulders. The entire Wangwu Grotto-Heaven was on his shoulders. I didn't need to trouble him because of me.
Moreover, our future was uncertain. Except for the two reclusive granduncles of the Wang family, Officer Wang was the only one left. If something unexpected happened to him, the Wangwu Grotto-Heaven, which had existed for more than two thousand years, would lose its inheritance.
The fatty understood what I meant. "Okay," he agreed and went back to the Holy Palace with me.
There was still one month to go before the appointment with Lu Zhenyang. Although I didn't know his purpose, I could guess what he wanted to do with me.
In order to be less passive in the following journey, I had to practice hard and try to break through to the late stage of the seal realm within one month.
Although I still wasn't Lu Zhenyang's match, I could stall him for a while. After all, the fatty needed some time to use the Devil Refining Gourd.
In the Wangwu Grotto-Heaven, both the dragon energy and the witch energy were very rich. The cultivation conditions were much better than in the outside world.
Taking advantage of the fact that the West City Grotto-Heaven had admitted defeat in advance, I locked myself in the palace and practiced until the evening of the next day. When Officer Wang came to the Holy Palace to look for me, I came out.
Officer Wang told me that while I was practicing, the other matches of the Blessed and Heavenly Lands were still going on. By this afternoon, all the matches had ended, and the new ranking had been determined.
During this process, there were inevitably some disputes. Officer Wang used his dual identity as the host and the champion to mediate for the Blessed and Heavenly Lands. As a result, he gained the friendship of many Blessed and Heavenly Lands.
I felt happy for him. After that, he told me the purpose of his visit. He said that he wanted to invite me and the fatty to the banquet that would mark the end of the Heavenly Grand Ritual tonight.
During the Allheaven Competition, after several days of high-intensity battles, I felt that my cultivation base was starting to loosen up. After a day of closed-door cultivation, I understood that as long as I worked hard and used the cultivation conditions of the Wangwu Grotto-Heaven, my cultivation base would be able to improve further. It was even possible for me to break through to the late stage of the seal realm.
Since I was worried about my cultivation, I didn't want to go to the banquet. The fatty liked to annoy me, but he didn't make a decision. He turned to look at me and waited for my decision.
I wanted to refuse, but Officer Wang said that the Allheaven Competition depended on the fatty and me. At the banquet tonight, the other Blessed and Heavenly Lands would have their eyes on the Wangwu Grotto-Heaven. If the fatty and I weren't there, it was hard to say that no one would take advantage of the banquet to cause trouble.
What he said made sense. Feeling helpless, I nodded and followed Officer Wang to the banquet.
The banquet was held in the same banquet hall as last time. Since I had been here once before, I wasn't surprised to see the puppets at the entrance. However, since it was the fatty's first time here, he was startled by those women.
He was interested and wanted to study them. I saw that the people from the other Blessed and Heavenly Lands were all there, so I didn't want to be laughed at for being ignorant, so I quickly pulled him into the banquet hall.
The fatty had grown up in an experiential school. Although he had seen a lot of banquets, the grand occasion in the Blessed and Heavenly Lands couldn't be compared to what he had seen before. After entering the banquet hall, the fatty was fascinated by all kinds of strange things. He wandered around, having fun.
