Chapter 211: Wordless Stone Tablet
In this competition, Qin Keren had the advantage.
But she didn't say a word, and left quietly after it was over.
Li Yu looked at Senior Sister Qin's departing back. She had been paying attention to Senior Sister Qin and could clearly feel her changes.
She was a quiet person to begin with, and she spoke even less than before during this period of time.
From the moment he chose the witch, Senior Sister Qin became different.
Li Yu was reluctant to answer the witch's question before because he knew that no matter which one he chose between the two of them, it would hurt the other.
But many times, even if making a choice is a very difficult thing, there is always a choice.
There are few things in this world that can have the best of both worlds.
She was Li Yu's elder sister who was both his teacher and friend, but at the critical moment of life and death, he chose another person.
If you put yourself in her shoes, it's easy to understand how she feels.
Even though Senior Sister Qin didn't blame him, their relationship could never go back to the way it was before.
Now that you have made a choice, you must bear the consequences of your choice.
During this month, the demon girl and he became closer day by day, but Senior Sister Qin became increasingly distant from him. This was the price he had to pay.
The door of Senior Sister Qin's palace was closed. Li Yu stood outside for a while, then finally turned around and left, flying towards the highest mountain in the secret realm.
This peak is called Piaomiao Peak, and there is a large palace complex on the top of the peak.
In front of the palace, there stands a white statue several dozen feet tall.
Wu Tong was standing under the statue at the moment, looking around it.
Li Yu stepped forward and asked, "Did you find anything?"
During this month, Wu Tong has not been idle. He has been doing archaeological work here, walking all over the ruins , trying to find some ancient secrets from tens of thousands of years ago.
He is very interested in these things.
Wu Tong looked around the secret place again, his eyes full of doubt, and murmured, "Something is wrong."
Li Yu asked, "What's wrong?"
Wu Tong took a deep breath and said, "The Immortal Cultivation World has always believed that these ancient sects moved to other worlds because of the decline of space. But from the traces left here, it seems that they did not move away in a planned way, but more like they left in a hurry..."
He continued, "I found a lot of dust in some places. That should be the remains of a huge number of books and magic weapons that decayed. In other words, the disciples of Piaomiao Xianzong did not take these things with them when they left here. This is not in line with common sense..."
Li Yu had also thought about this.
Normally, when a person moves, he or she should move the important items in the house together.
The same goes for sects.
They had no reason to leave behind all the secret books, magic weapons and talismans.
Unless they left in a hurry, they would not have time to take these with them.
The common explanation for this in the world of immortal cultivation is that these ancient sects existed to leave behind a legacy.
If it were not for the great vision of the ancient immortal cultivators, sects like Tiandao Sect, Kunlun Sect, and Emei Sect would not exist in today's immortal cultivation world.
After thinking for a while, Li Yu asked, "What on earth could have caused all the disciples of Piao Miao Xian Zong to leave the sect in a hurry, without even packing up these treasures, and never come back again?"
Wu Tong pondered for a long time and said, "Perhaps, it's not that they don't want to come back, but that they can't come back..."
Li Yu said: "You mean, they encountered foreign enemies?"
The Piaomiao Immortal Sect was the super overlord of the last era, and was not comparable to the pseudo-overlord like the Tiandao Sect. In the entire Xuantian World, they had no rivals, unless they encountered external enemies.
This speculation seems reasonable, but it also has its shortcomings.
If there were an invasion by foreign enemies, those magic weapons and talismans, especially the top-level imitations of these immortal artifacts, should not be left behind. What's more, what kind of foreign enemy could cause all the disciples of Piao Miao Immortal Sect to go out together and then all die, directly ending an era?
Wu Tong shook his head and said, "It's unlikely. At that time, the Piao Miao Xian Sect not only had people who had not yet ascended to the heavenly realm, but the sect master of the Piao Miao Xian Sect even reached a level above the heavenly realm. Even if there were any external enemies that could destroy the Piao Miao Xian Sect, why didn't they touch everything here?"
Even Wu Tong didn't know, so Li Yu had no idea about it.
He looked at the huge statue in front of him. The person who could have erected this statue in the Piaomiao Immortal Sect back then must be a great figure, most likely the sect leader who was above the gods.
In today's world of cultivating immortals, there aren't even celestial beings, let alone the realm beyond celestial beings.
Such a strong man has never appeared in this entire era.
Li Yu's gaze lingered on the statue for a long time. The statue looked ordinary, but quite majestic. Just the statue itself had a captivating aura.
Li Yu couldn't help but admire this powerful man from two eras ago.
At this moment, a strange power surged out of his body and was sucked into the statue.
Li Yu was slightly stunned.
This statue can actually absorb faith ?
Although his admiration was extremely weak, it was still caught by Li Yu.
This was the first time that Li Yu saw something other than himself that could absorb faith.
Obviously, tens of thousands of years ago, some people also used the power of faith to practice.
At this time, Wu Tong walked to a stone tablet in front of the statue. Li Yu took a look and found that the stone tablet was very flat and had no words on it.
Since it is a monument, it is probably to record something.
But there was no word on the stone tablet. Wu Tong touched the stone tablet, looked at it carefully, and said, "There used to be words on this tablet, but they were erased..."
Li Yu also stepped forward to take a look, and indeed found that the touch of this side of the stone tablet was slightly different from the other sides.
The entire stone tablet is much thinner than other stone tablets in the secret realm, as if someone had evenly shaved off a layer of it.
Li Yu tried it and found that the material of the stone tablet was extremely hard. Even with his current strength, he could not leave any mark on the stone tablet, let alone other people in the secret realm. The original words on the stone tablet should have been erased tens of thousands of years ago.
Wu Tong was a little annoyed. He looked around the stone tablet and said, "I have a feeling that the things on this tablet must be related to the demise of Piaomiao Xianzong, or even the end of the previous era. Who destroyed it? It seems that they deliberately didn't want future generations to know..."
…
When Li Yu returned to his residence, he saw Hu Wei and his sister waiting there.
This secret place is located in southern Xinjiang, and it is inevitable to deal with the demon tribe.
Before the Sun and Moon Sect moved here, the demons could only eat various spiritual herbs and medicines raw. The utilization rate of the spiritual power in the herbs was extremely low, and the magic weapons they used were also of the lowest level.
After getting acquainted with the Hu Wei brothers and sisters, they tentatively proposed to refine some pills and create some magic weapons in the Sun and Moon Sect, and Li Yu did not refuse.
This time, the Hu Wei brothers and sisters came to deliver the materials for the Golden Spirit Pill.
When the demons are forming elixirs, they also need to use the Golden Spirit Pill. In the past, they could only rely on themselves to form elixirs, and it took them longer than humans. Although the Hu Wei brothers and sisters look young, they are actually three hundred years old.
After handing the materials to Li Yu, Hu Wei took out a jar of wine from the storage space and said, "This is the spirit wine brewed by the monkey tribe. They only produce less than ten jars a year. Brother Li Yu, please try it..."
Li Yu opened the wine seal, and a rich aroma hit him in the face.
He himself was not a big drinker, but drinking occasionally could cheer him up, so Li Yu accepted it.
Ling'er was running . Li Yu waved his hand, and it turned into a white shadow and flew into Li Yu's arms.
Li Yu gently stroked its head and said to Hu Wei and his sister, "Actually, I have a request that you don't ask for..."
In the beginning, he made friends with the two siblings just to help Ling'er transform.
As he became more familiar with them, Li Yu felt that the time was almost right.
The Hu Wei brothers and sisters agreed to Li Yu's request without any hesitation.
The demon clan has a strict hierarchy, and only the royal family can transform completely. Other demons must retain part of their demon form after transformation to distinguish themselves from the royal family.
In principle, this little white tiger cannot completely transform.
But who made it Li Yu's pet?
Li Yu is not only their savior, but also a distinguished friend of the demon clan. Among almost all humans, he is the only one who does not discriminate against the demon clan and provides great help to the demon clan. How could they not be satisfied with this small request?
Half a day later, the Hu Wei brothers and sisters left.
They also took Ling'er away.
Transformation is a very sacred thing for the demon clan. Before transformation, some preparations need to be made. According to Hu Rou, a complete transformation of the demon clan takes several months at the shortest and a year at the longest. Once Ling'er successfully transforms, they will bring her over.
Li Yu still trusts the Hu Wei brothers and sisters.
Compared to humans, demons are generally simpler.
In the following time, Li Yu continued to digest the contents of the jade slips.
One day, Li Yu walked out of the hall and a disciple of the Sun and Moon Sect handed him a letter.
This secret realm is quite special. Due to the decay of space, direct communication is impossible inside and outside the secret realm.
Li Yu tore open the letter and a beam of white light flew out from it. In the void in front of him, it condensed into a line of handwriting. Judging from the handwriting, it was written by the master.
There was only one simple line in the letter.
"If something happens, bring your beloved back quickly!"
