The first volume debuts Chapter 134 The truth!
"A few days earlier!"
Although Li Xuanfeng's eyes were filled with reminiscence, he decisively did not look at it again. Instead, he asked the Five Elements Venerable to turn the scene to the past few days.
The Five Elements Venerable made quick hand gestures and waved his sleeves. The scene of four people catching a turtle instantly disappeared. Time went backwards, and the scene kept changing until it finally stopped late one night!
At this time, all the villagers had fallen asleep. Only the bright moonlight was scattered in Taoyuan Village, making the houses and crops appear and disappear. The sounds of frogs and insects seemed to have a rhythm, echoing in the village continuously.
At this moment, an illusory figure of an old man silently descended from the sky above Taoyuan Village!
The moonlight shone on the old man, but passed straight through, without any trace of shadow on the ground!
Li Xuanfeng's eyes narrowed. This old man was someone he had never seen before. And from the signs he showed, he was a cultivator, and a cultivator of a fairly high level!
The old man closed his eyes slightly, as if he was feeling something. Then he floated all the way and finally stopped in front of the wooden house where Li Xuanfeng lived.
"The breath of the Dao Soul Body!"
The illusory old man muttered to himself with ecstasy in his eyes.
"The body of the spirit!"
The Five Elements Venerable's eyes focused and he immediately saw the clue of the old man. The illusory figure was his soul!
However, seeing that the old man had no physical body and his soul looked illusory, he seemed to have been seriously injured.
However, even without a physical body, no matter how seriously the soul was injured, it would not be discovered by ordinary people in Taoyuan Village. They were powerful people who possessed souls, and they were at least above the Spirit God Realm!
The old man rushed into Li Xuanfeng's house excitedly. At this time, he and his parents were still sleeping and unaware of anything!
After entering the wooden house, this person went straight into the room of Li Xuanfeng's parents, stood in front of the bed, staring at Li Xuanfeng's father with excitement in his eyes, as if he was looking at a treasure.
Afterwards, the man in black robe turned into a beam of light and rushed into the head of Li Xuanfeng's father Li Tang!
"Seize the body!"
Seeing this scene, Li Xuanfeng's eyes were filled with infinite anger, and he instantly recognized that this was a method of possessing another's body. He didn't expect that someone would actually possess his father's body before the Corpse Demon Cult massacred the village!
Li Tang, who was sleeping, suddenly showed a look of struggle on his face, as if he was fighting against something. He clenched his fists tightly, as if he was using great strength!
An hour later, the phantom figure of the old man flew out from Li Tang's head. With a look of unwillingness on his face, he angrily said, "I didn't expect that I was injured so seriously this time. It's fine that I can't mobilize my spiritual power to attack, but I can't even successfully take over the body of an ordinary person. It's really like a tiger in plain land being bullied by a dog!"
To him, ordinary people are like ants, which can be crushed to death at will. It is a shame for him not to be able to successfully possess another body!
The old man stood in front of the bed for a long time, his eyes flashing with thought, and then he murmured gloomily: "It doesn't matter if you can't take over the body directly. I have a lot of ways. You can't escape from my palm!"
Afterwards, the old man flew out of Li Xuanfeng’s wooden house, wandered around Taoyuan Village, and stopped on the branch of a big tree.
The next day, everything was back to normal. The sun rose again from the river and everyone in Taoyuan Village was busy. Only Li Xuanfeng's father Li Tang was slightly different. When he woke up, he found himself weak, as if he had not slept all night.
No one in Taoyuan Village could possibly notice that there was a new figure in the village, staring at Li Tang hungrily, thinking of ways to take over his body and looking for an opportunity!
And Li Tang would never have thought that he would be targeted by a powerful cultivator with a primordial spirit!
This old man even appeared in front of Li Xuanfeng, holding his chin with his hand and observing for a long time, as if he was considering whether to use Li Xuanfeng to threaten Li Tang, but in the end he did not take this approach.
Li Xuanfeng was unaware of this and continued to play around the village with his three friends.
Seeing the old man observing him so closely at this time, Li Xuanfeng even felt the murderous aura and the crisis of life and death. If this person had had any thoughts at that time, he would probably have been dead long ago!
Li Xuanfeng remembered the old man's appearance very clearly: he had a pointed mouth, a thin face, eagle eyes, a hooked nose, and looked like a mean person.
The old man still did not make a move that day, as if he was unable to directly take over Li Tang's body and was waiting for the arrival of external force!
On the third day, which was the day when Li Xuanfeng and his three companions caught turtles, the old man still did not take action.
It was not until noon on the fourth day that the mean old man's eyes suddenly lit up, and he rose directly into the air and landed above Taoyuan Village!
"The time has come!" The sarcastic old man muttered to himself with a smile on his face.
At this moment, six men in black robes were flying by. They were the six disciples of the Corpse Demon Sect who massacred Taoyuan Village!
The black-robed man's soul directly penetrated into the mind of a disciple, causing him to have a splitting headache instantly. This affected the control of his spiritual power, causing his flight to become unstable and he fell directly from the sky!
When Li Xuanfeng saw this scene, he had already guessed it, and there was no surprise in his eyes, but he still couldn't help but clench his fists, and the murderous aura on his body was extremely strong!
The black-robed man from the Corpse Demon Cult fell to Taoyuan Village, and Li Xuanfeng personally experienced everything that happened afterwards.
Six members of the Corpse Demon Cult massacred the village and collected the corpses. Li Xuanfeng chopped off the arm of a man in black robe with an axe and was caught and tortured by the man in black robe.
At this moment, the mean old man narrowed his eyes slightly, looked up at the sky above Taoyuan Village, and at the same time, he made a gesture with his hands. His figure became more illusory and transparent, as if he had completely merged into the world.
This is a more sophisticated method of concealment!
At this moment, Shen Hua appeared and rescued Li Xuanfeng who was about to be beheaded. He killed three members of the Corpse Demon Sect and seriously injured three others. Then Li Xuanfeng used an axe to send the three seriously injured people to hell!
When Venerable Five Elements saw this scene, he looked at Li Xuanfeng in surprise. He didn't expect that Li Xuanfeng, at such a young age, had the courage to kill his enemies with his own hands to avenge his hatred.
Afterwards, Shen Hua helped Li Xuanfeng bury all the villagers of Taoyuan Village and took him away from Taoyuan Village to Xuanling Sect.
Just after the two left, the old man appeared from the illusion, muttering to himself excitedly.
“Fortunately, the last person to arrive was only at the Spirit God Realm. If it was a strong man at the second realm, I would have been exposed!”
“I never thought that I, a powerful person of the second level of Sirius, could not even succeed in possessing a mortal body when I was in such a desperate situation. However, this person has the body of a Dao soul, and his soul power is extremely strong. I am so seriously injured and weak, so it is normal that I cannot easily succeed in possessing a mortal body.”
“But it doesn’t matter if your soul is strong. I will lead the people from the Corpse Demon Cult to kill you. After you die, when your soul is at its weakest and about to dissipate, I will possess your body!!”
"I didn't expect that this serious injury that nearly killed me could turn out to be a blessing in disguise. When I recover, with this soul body, my cultivation will surely reach a higher level, reaching the peak of the second realm. It is not impossible for me to even break through to the third realm. By then, I will avenge this near-death experience!"
"But this time the injury is too severe. It will take a long time for me to recover. During this time, I must be careful and cautious to avoid any accidents again."
After saying this, the mean old man went straight into Li Tang's grave, entered his body, and started to take over his body before his soul dissipated!
Li Xuanfeng saw that his father's soul was quickly devoured by the mean old man and became a part of this man's soul!
Seeing this scene, Li Xuanfeng remained silent, his fists clenched tighter and tighter, making a crackling sound of bones rubbing against each other!
The last scene in the formation was three days later, when Wang Chong and others from the Corpse Demon Cult came to Taoyuan Village and dug out all the villagers where Shen Hua and Li Xuanfeng were buried. They took some away and left some in Taoyuan Village to refine the demon corpses.
And Li Tang's body was taken away by Wang Chong!
Li Xuanfeng speculated in his heart that after Wang Chong and others took away Li Tang's body, the mean old man had completely succeeded in taking over the body. Finally, he used the method of hiding in the branch of the Corpse Demon Cult, secretly left, and hid in the Spiritual Continent to practice and recover.
Finally, he emerged from the war , took advantage of the chaos to devour the spiritual energy and essence of those who died in the battle, and improved his cultivation to the perfection of the Spirit God Realm. Only then did he completely reveal himself to everyone, and directly devoured the demon corpses of the half-step second realm, and with the help of the spiritual energy of several Spirit God Realm people, he successfully broke through to the second realm.
After watching the illusory image restored by the Five Elements Venerable, Li Xuanfeng's eyes were filled with endless murderous intent.
"This man's surname is Gong!" Li Xuanfeng whispered in his heart and remembered it in his heart. When the Five Elements Venerable was fighting with this mean old man, he heard the other party call himself Gong.
Unexpectedly, the Corpse Demon Cult was not the culprit behind the massacre, and there was someone else behind it. If it weren't for the interference of this mean old man, causing the Corpse Demon Cult disciple to fall into Taoyuan Village, with their cultivation at the highest spiritual foundation realm, they would never have been able to discover the hidden Taoyuan Village.
"Venerable Five Elements, what is the body of the Tao Soul?" Li Xuanfeng suddenly asked in a deep voice.
In the footage restored by the Five Elements Venerable, the harsh old man mentioned the Dao Soul Body twice, which seemed to be the physique of his father Li Tang.
"The Dao Soul Body is a special physique. It has a strong talent for comprehending the rules of Taoism. The speed of improvement in the second realm is much faster than that of ordinary physiques!" The Five Elements Venerable recalled a little and told what he knew about the Dao Soul Body.
"I once met a Dao Soul Body. His talent in the second realm was indeed strong, but he was still not comparable to me!"
Li Xuanfeng couldn't help but roll his eyes. It was already this late and he was still bragging about himself. However, he knew in his heart that the Five Elements Venerable did this on purpose to ease the sadness in his heart.
Afterwards, the Five Elements Venerable took back the three jade slips and removed the formation, and Taoyuan Village returned to its original desolate state.
“Brat, my original power has been depleted too much this time. I can no longer exert the combat power of the second realm, and I am about to fall into a deep sleep. You’d better take care of yourself!” Before returning to the Purple Destruction Space, the Five Elements Venerable suddenly sent a message to Li Xuanfeng.
After hearing this, Li Xuanfeng's heart tightened and apologetic eyes appeared. He was too impatient and ignored the condition of the Five Elements Master. This time, restoring the scene from two years ago must have consumed a lot of his original power!
"Your Excellency, I am truly sorry!" Li Xuanfeng clasped his fists respectfully and said in a voice transmission with apology.
"If I am unwilling to help you, it will be useless even if you kneel down and beg me!" The Five Elements Venerable waved his hands, not minding at all.
If Li Xuanfeng is not helped to see the truth this time, his Dao heart will most likely fall into this vicious circle and find it difficult to get out of it, which will have a great impact on his future cultivation , and he may even fail in a breakthrough due to his unstable state of mind!
Afterwards, the soul of the Five Elements Venerable returned to the Purple Destruction Space and released the shackles on Li Xuanfeng's consciousness.
Li Xuanfeng's soul dispersed from the sea of consciousness and reoccupied his body. He felt like he had a dream. He felt the power of the second realm and saw the father he had been looking for. Unfortunately, his father was no longer his father!
Afterwards, Li Xuanfeng settled down in Taoyuan Village. He often sat by the river, watching the water flowing past him, or sat at home and practiced with his memories.
Now, he just wants to be alone and quiet, and doesn't want to get involved in the intrigues in the cultivation world.
Although he did not leave Taoyuan Village, he never slacked off in his cultivation.
He cannot slack off. In the future, he must leave Taoyuan Village, leave the Spiritual Continent, leave the planet, and personally defeat the person who has taken over his father's body and take back his father's body.
This war between good and evil came to an abrupt end after the appearance of the mean old man who took over the body of Li Xuanfeng's father. Almost all the people in the Spirit God Realm fled in all directions, and those who did not escape, except Shen Hua, all died!
And when they learned that the Five Elements Venerable had also appeared, they became even more terrified. They no longer had the heart to fight and all returned to the sect. They did not hesitate to suffer any losses and fully activated the sect's defense formation!
Two powerful men with the cultivation base of the second realm are enough to crush the entire Spiritual Continent, and no one can stop them!
Although there are no strong people of the second realm in the Spiritual Continent now, in the past, most sects had ancestors of the second realm. They just left the Spiritual Continent and went to more powerful continents in order to find opportunities for breakthroughs in their cultivation.
The defensive formations of these sects were all set up by ancestors of the Second Realm. They have strong defenses that can withstand attacks from the Second Realm. Although they have been damaged after thousands of years, they should not be underestimated.
It was also because of this that Shen Hua did not choose to directly attack the four sects of the Demonic Path after learning about the Purple Yuan Pill.
At this time, the nine major sects could only pin their hopes on the sect's formation. They had no confidence at all to fight against the powerful cultivators of the second realm.
Although these two second-level cultivators were fighting, no one saw the outcome of the battle. Even Shen Hua only saw a small part of it. After the two left, he did not dare to chase after them to watch. He did not even know that the two had flown out of the planet, let alone the outcome of the battle!
This war made the Spirit God Realm cultivators in the Spiritual Continent fully realize that there is always someone better than you. A cultivator in the second realm can make them powerless to resist.
They no longer dared to act rashly, and even the four sects of the Demonic Path had to restrain themselves and no longer kill ordinary people at will, so as not to offend the seniors of the Second Realm and bring about a disaster of extermination of their entire family!
The nine major sects suffered heavy losses in this war. Not to mention the countless casualties of disciples and Spirit Infant Realm elders, ten elders in the Light Spirit Realm died, including two at the sect master level!
The two sects whose leaders had fallen were the Vajra Sect and the Blood Spirit Sect. They could only choose a new leader. They were more fearful than other sects and locked themselves in a large formation, not daring to take a single step forward.
But there is one exception, and that is Xuanling Sect's leader Shen Hua.
Shen Hua returned to Xuanling Sect, activated the sect's defense formation at full power, arranged all matters, and then left Xuanling Sect!
He was worried about his fifth disciple. Ever since he saw the first second-level strong man appear, he had been worried about Li Xuanfeng.
He clearly recognized that the man's face was Li Xuanfeng's father.
He had already guessed that a powerful person must have taken over Li Xuanfeng's father's body, and he was worried that Li Xuanfeng would be harmed by him.
Shen Hua did not tell anyone about this because he did not want Li Xuanfeng to know about it. The other party was a strong man in the second realm, and there would be no benefit in knowing it now.
Although he knew that he was no match for that man, he had to go find Li Xuanfeng, lest Li Xuanfeng see that man and lose control of his emotions, bringing disaster upon himself!
Shen Hua was even thankful that Li Xuanfeng did not participate in this war, otherwise if he had seen his father possessed by another spirit with his own eyes, he would have been devastated!
At this moment he finally knew the reason why Li Xuanfeng was reluctant to return to the sect. It turned out that he was looking for his father's whereabouts. He even felt a little sorry for this little disciple. He didn't even ask him for help with such an important matter. Was he worried that he would bring danger to him?
Shen Hua set out from Xuanling Sect and searched carefully along the way. When he passed Taoyuan Village, he took a lucky sweep with his spiritual sense, but was pleasantly surprised to find the presence of Li Xuanfeng below!
He immediately landed in Taoyuan Village and finally saw Li Xuanfeng, who was standing by the river at this time.
"Greetings, Master!" Shen Hua did not restrain his aura. Li Xuanfeng had already sensed it when he landed, and he bowed with a fist.
"Xuanfeng, you made it so difficult for me to find the right person!" Shen Hua walked closer and complained deliberately.
What made Shen Hua's heart skip a beat was that at this moment, Li Xuanfeng's eyes were frighteningly calm. His arrival did not cause any ripples in Li Xuanfeng's eyes, as if he had become a different person!
A thought even came to his mind: Could it be that Li Xuanfeng had also been possessed by another spirit?
However, after he carefully sensed the aura of Li Xuanfeng, he did not find any difference from before, and his cultivation was only at the late spiritual foundation stage. Only then did he confirm that the person next to him was still his disciple.
"Xuanfeng, come back to the sect with your master. It's too dangerous outside during this period!" Although Shen Hua didn't know what happened to Li Xuanfeng, it would be better to return to the sect first and ask slowly, so he persuaded him.
"Master, I want to take a good rest here." Li Xuanfeng's eyes were still calm, but his voice was full of determination. He directly rejected Shen Hua's proposal.
Seeing Li Xuanfeng's unusual calmness and determination, Shen Hua began to wonder, could it be that Li Xuanfeng already knew about his father's affairs?
"Xuanfeng, you didn't participate in the war between good and evil this time, right?" Shen Hua asked softly, feeling doubtful.
After hearing Shen Hua's words, Li Xuanfeng remained extremely calm, which made Shen Hua begin to feel relieved, but the words of his answer instantly made his heart fall to the bottom!
“I was there!”
"When Cheng Ping used the half-step second-level demon corpse, you should have chosen to escape and leave, right?" Shen Hua still held on to hope and continued to ask.
Seeing Master Shen Hua's concerned look, Li Xuanfeng actually found it somewhat funny, but at this moment he couldn't laugh at all, as he had already guessed what Master was worried about.
"Master, I'm fine, you don't have to worry. I just want to be quiet in Taoyuan Village!" Li Xuanfeng said calmly, completely breaking Shen Hua's luck.
Shen Hua was extremely sure at this time that Li Xuanfeng was already fully aware of the matter!
