Chapter 91

A thick layer, like plaster, covered all the pavilions and ancient halls in the core area, making the entire core area look as if it were encased in plaster.

Seeing this scene, Li Qiyi stood silently on the ground, speechless for a long time. This place had once been the center of the Xianyan Ancient Sect. Not only did the Mingren Immortal Emperor once reside here, but it was also from here that he once commanded troops and led an invincible divine army to launch expeditions across the nine heavens and ten earths.

To revitalize the Xianyan Ancient Sect, the old site must be reactivated; otherwise, the Xianyan Ancient Sect must relocate. The current territory of the Xianyan Ancient Sect was too small, and the essence energy emitted by the earth veins was also sparse.

Li Qiyi had once planned to restart the old site and rebuild the Xianyan Ancient Sect, but when he saw this scene, he already knew what the ominous sign of the Xianyan Ancient Sect was!

The worst thing he hoped would happen had finally come to pass. This made Li Qiyi silent and somewhat puzzled. Who had opened the seal? If it was the Takuo Immortal Emperor, it would be impossible, because if the Takuo Immortal Emperor had forcibly opened the seal, the entire Xianyan Ancient Sect would likely cease to exist, and the imperial foundation would be destroyed. However, it now seemed that the situation was not like that.

If it wasn't an outsider who broke the seal from back then, then who had opened it? Thinking about this, Li Qiyi fell silent.

Nan Huairen curiously examined everything before him. It was his first time here, and eventually, he could no longer contain his curiosity. He took out his treasure sword and tried to chisel through the plaster-like substance covering an ancient pavilion. However, no matter how hard he chiseled and drilled, he only managed to create a tiny scratch the size of a grain of rice, and he couldn't penetrate the plaster-like substance at all.

"It's useless. Elder Gu once tried, but he couldn't chisel through it. If one attacks with a certain level of strength, they would be repelled instead," said Mo Hufa, shaking his head.

"What is this thing?" Li Shuangyan, seeing the plaster-like substance covering the ancient pavilions and temples, was also puzzled.

"The self-protection of the imperial foundation," Li Qiyi said at this moment. "This land has an unshakable imperial foundation. Once a disaster strikes, the imperial foundation has its own means of self-protection, which also suppresses the evil energy underground from escaping. The self-protection is still in place, which means the imperial foundation is still intact."

Li Shuangyan was also moved. The Xianyan Ancient Sect had once faced an ominous sign and suffered a disaster, yet the imperial foundation remained unshaken. This thousand-year-old imperial sect was indeed formidable! The depth of the imperial sect was truly immeasurable. Now, it seemed that if it hadn't suffered such a disaster back then, even if the Xianyan Ancient Sect had declined, it wouldn't have been something the Holy Heaven Sect could challenge!

"Time is needed." In the end, Li Qiyi said this. The earth seal had a problem, and Li Qiyi knew the issue was serious. To rise again and rebuild this land, he must penetrate to the deepest part of the land, just as he did back then.

If he really did this, he would need ample preparation. He needed brave warriors, and this matter couldn't be accomplished hastily. To succeed, he must be fully prepared.

"There's a hole here." At this moment, Nan Huairen, who was wandering around, made a discovery and shouted.

Li Qiyi and the others hurried over. The place where Nan Huairen was located was a valley with extremely low terrain. In this valley, where the trees and flowers had withered, there was a huge hole that went straight down. It was unknown how deep this hole was, but looking down, it was pitch black.

Upon closer inspection of this hole, it was discovered that it had a spiral pattern, as if it had been drilled by a giant drill. Clearly, this hole was not naturally formed.

"This huge hole was probably drilled not long ago," Li Shuangyan concluded after carefully examining the hole.

Li Qiyi carefully examined the hole, measured it, and then smiled. He instructed Mo Hufa, "Mo Hufa, go back immediately and get me purple mulberry trees, as many as possible, and they must be dry. Also, get me a huge pot, three bottles of sea vinegar, six doses of Jiuye water, and Qingkong bones..."

Li Qiyi listed a series of medicinal names. Although Mo Hufa didn't know what Li Qiyi was going to do, he still wrote them down. After Li Qiyi finished giving instructions, he immediately left, not daring to delay.

Only cultivators who reached the Tianyuan realm could fly through the sky without relying on any treasures.

"Big Brother, what are you going to do with all these things?" Seeing Li Qiyi asking for so many things, Nan Huairen couldn't help but ask curiously.

Li Shuangyan was also puzzled. Li Qiyi had listed a series of medicinal names, many of which he had never heard of.

Li Qiyi smiled and said, "To fumigate rats." Smiling, he sat down and waited for Mo Hufa to return.

Mo Hufa didn't dare to delay. It took him a full day to go and return.

"Set it up and start the fire." When Mo Hufa returned, he brought a large amount of dry purple mulberry trees. Li Qiyi gave the order, and Nan Huairen and Mo Hufa immediately set up the dry purple mulberry trees at the mouth of the hole and started the fire.

In an instant, thick smoke rolled into the hole. This smoke had a special smell, one that was hard to describe.

As the thick smoke continuously poured into the hole, after a while, there was finally some movement. A loud rumbling sound was heard, and the ground shook, as if a giant bull was turning over.

With a loud "Boom," a huge creature burst out from the hole, and with another "Boom," it landed heavily on the ground, creating a large crater.

"Who is using this annoying smoke to disturb my sleep!" A hoarse roar echoed, clearly very angry at being fumigated by the smoke.

Seeing the huge creature that landed on the ground, Nan Huairen and the others were stunned. The huge creature was not a fierce and terrifying monster but a giant snail, a talking giant snail.

This was probably the largest snail Nan Huairen had ever seen in his life, and it was the only one that could talk!

Seeing such a huge snail, only Li Qiyi remained calm. At this moment, Li Qiyi stood up, looked at the giant snail, and said calmly, "Not bad, you can achieve the sixth transformation. For your kind, that's quite an achievement."

Li Qiyi's words made the giant snail tremble. Its two large eyes, like those of a bull, stared at Li Qiyi, and a hoarse voice, like thunder, shouted, "Boy, who are you to know about the sixth transformation!"

"Who I am is not important, but what is important is that you are here!" Li Qiyi remained calm, looking at the giant snail. "As for the sixth transformation, it's not a big deal. I can even talk about the eighteenth transformation."

"You brat, talking nonsense and boasting, no one in the world knows about the eighteenth transformation," the giant snail shouted. "No, that's not right. If there really is an eighteenth transformation, there is indeed one person who knows."

Saying this, the giant snail stared at Li Qiyi, its two eyes on its tentacles shaking, and said, "No, no, besides that existence, no one in the world knows about the eighteenth transformation. For a human boy to know about the eighteenth transformation is strange!"

"Yellow calamity, Dingye Haiqing, holy mulberry in the locust, golden crow entering the chest..." At this moment, Li Qiyi spoke, reciting a true explanation that Li Shuangyan and the others couldn't understand.

Hearing Li Qiyi's true explanation, the giant snail was greatly shocked. Its two large eyes stared at Li Qiyi in disbelief. In an instant, a fleshy giant hand extended from under its huge shell and grabbed Li Qiyi.

Suddenly, Li Qiyi was lifted into the air by the giant fleshy hand, which made Mo Hufa and Li Shuangyan extremely alarmed. Li Shuangyan and the others wanted to act, but Li Qiyi waved his hand, signaling them to stay calm.

"You, how do you know this true explanation!" The giant snail was incredulous, its large eyes staring at Li Qiyi.

"It's just the beginning of the seventh transformation, what's so great about it? I have the eighteenth transformation memorized," Li Qiyi smiled and said calmly.

"Speak, quickly tell me the eighteenth transformation!" The giant snail became impatient, its hoarse voice demanding.

"The eighteenth transformation is something your kind has always pursued. It's not that easy to make me say it. Follow me, and I might consider it," Li Qiyi said calmly.

"Naive boy, daring to bargain with me!" The giant snail roared. "I will tear open your mind and extract your memories to see what else you are hiding!"

As he spoke, one of the snail's tentacles transformed into a divine chain of law, piercing into Li Qiyi's forehead and probing into his mind.

"Bad—!" Seeing this, Li Shuangyan's face changed dramatically, realizing the situation was dire.

"Boom—" However, at that moment, the entire world seemed to explode. A beam of immortal light burst from Li Qiyi's forehead! With a loud explosion, the giant snail was blasted into the sky!

In an instant, Li Qiyi appeared like a raging immortal emperor, the beam of immortal light from his forehead shaking Nan Huairen and his disciple to the ground, and even Li Shuangyan couldn't stand steady.

Li Qiyi gently landed on the ground, the immortal light from his forehead fading. Despite this, when the immortal light exploded, Li Qiyi seemed like a raging immortal emperor, and the gods of the nine heavens and ten earths would bow before this light!

Today, there are three updates, a small burst.
