Chapter 2067 The Ancient Spirits and the Magic Mist

In the center of Penglai Fairy Island, on an empty continent.

There are pavilions and palaces here, and the surroundings are extremely quiet, as if no one has lived there for a long time.

However, the buildings here are well preserved, without any signs of damage due to the passage of time.

Among these palaces and pavilions, there is a temple. The temple does not enshrine the Three Pure Ones of Taoism, nor Guanyin Tathagata, but a statue of a man wearing a crown and a golden robe.

Although it is just a stone statue, the man looks majestic, like an emperor who is above the three realms, dominates everything in the world, and looks down on the eight directions and ten poles.

At this time, in the fairy temple, a white-haired old man was kneeling in front of the emperor's statue. He was a little fat, and his face looked very kind, like a wise elder in the world, giving people a sense of intimacy and kindness.

He held incense in his hand and bowed three times and kowtowed nine times to the emperor's statue, looking very pious.

After the worship ceremony, the old man inserted the incense into the incense burner and stood in the temple in silence for a long time.

Then, footsteps were heard outside the temple, and several figures appeared here. They were dressed strangely, unlike ordinary monks, but rather looked a bit simple and old, as if they were inherited from a long time ago.

However, the cultivation of these figures was extremely amazing, and they were all powerful Return to Void level.

After hearing the footsteps, the old man looked back at these people and slowly said: "How is the investigation going? Have those people come in?"

"Reporting to the high priest, they did come in after the barrier on the island was opened. Now they are scattered all over the island, and some ruins have been discovered by them." A cultivator in the early stage of Return to Void answered respectfully.

"It's expected." The old man nodded lightly, but didn't say anything else.

Several people looked at each other, and the old man's reaction was somewhat beyond their expectations.

Another cultivator next to him looked at the old man and said: "High priest, there are treasures left by my ancient spirits in these ruins. Are we just going to let them explore like this?"

The other cultivators looked gloomy, and they were obviously very angry about this.

The old man put his hands behind his back and said nothing.

After a moment, he said quietly: "Those ruins contain treasures of our ancient spirits, but it is not easy for them to get them, not to mention that the things are not of much use to us."

At this point, his eyes flashed, and he sneered: "What we want is the Penglai Immortal Talisman. As long as they bring all eight immortal talismans, it doesn't matter if they take away all the treasures in the ruins?"

The monk who spoke first hesitated for a moment and said: "High Priest, can the Penglai Immortal Talisman really allow us to open the passage and return to the fairyland?"

When the old man heard this, a deep meaning flashed in his eyes.

After a long time, he nodded and said, "Yes, since Penglai Fairy Island was demoted to the spirit world, the fairyland passage on the island has been blocked. Only the Penglai Fairy Talisman can open the passage."

After a pause, he said coldly, "We, the Guling Clan, were originally a fairy clan, but because our ancestors made mistakes, we were cast into the spirit world. In name, we were asked to guard Penglai Fairy Island, but in fact, we were sealed here. We can neither return to the fairyland nor leave this island. We have been here for 170,000 years, and most of our clan members have died. If we continue to be trapped here, our clan will inevitably be destroyed!"

Several Guling Clan monks fell silent.

"But High Priest, Penglai Fairy Island has been opened for a long time. We have tried several times to gather the Penglai Fairy Talisman, but we were bound by the fairy ban on the island and finally failed. Can we succeed this time?" After a long time, one of them spoke in a low voice.

The Gu Ling Clan was originally a powerful clan in the Immortal Realm, with extremely high cultivation talents. However, 170,000 years ago, the Gu Ling Clan made a big mistake in the Immortal Realm and was subsequently demoted to the Spirit Realm, responsible for guarding the Penglai Island in the Black Sea.

They refused to accept their fate and always wanted to bring their people back to the Immortal Realm, but there were immortal magic restrictions on this island targeting them. The high priests of successive generations made plans again and again, but failed again and again. Not only did the Gu Ling Clan not leave the Penglai Island, but the Gu Ling Clan gradually declined, and now it is almost just lingering on.

The old man looked up at the sky, his expression gloomy and uncertain.

He did not answer the monk's words, but asked inexplicably: "Is there any news about that person?"

When several people heard this, their expressions flickered slightly, and then one of them nodded and said: "Don't worry, High Priest, that person has already given a reply and is now rushing here. It is estimated that he will arrive soon."

"Very good!" The old man showed a hint of excitement on his face and said: "As long as that person agrees to our conditions, we will definitely be able to collect eight Penglai fairy talismans this time."

The person who spoke hesitated for a moment and asked: "But that person is a demon after all. Since ancient times, immortals and demons cannot coexist. I am afraid that the other party is not sincere in cooperating with us. His real purpose is probably for the passage where their demons are sealed here."

The old man frowned slightly when he heard this.

"High Priest, the demon cultivators have always had ulterior motives. If we help him open the passage to the demon world, the spirit world will probably not be peaceful at that time." The ancient spirit cultivator said in a deep voice.

After saying this, everyone's face became more solemn.

Over the years, they have been searching for a way to resolve the immortal ban on their people, and finally found a secret method, but this method can only be used by the demons. This time, they cooperated with the demons in the hope of using them to remove the ban, otherwise they would not be able to leave Penglai Island.

However, the demons and the immortals have always been hostile to each other. Although they agreed to cooperate on the surface, they might have some conspiracy in secret.

The high priest frowned and said coldly: "What's more, the life and death of the people in the spirit world has nothing to do with us. As long as we can break the fairy ban and return to the fairy world, all the costs are worth it."

Everyone nodded in unison. They have been trapped in Penglai Fairy Island for more than 100,000 years. For this reason, they don't care who they cooperate with.

"Pass the order down, let people keep a close eye on those forces holding Penglai fairy talismans, and take action immediately when the time comes." The high priest ordered.

"Yes!"

Several people immediately took the order and retreated.

Soon, only the high priest was left in the field. He returned to the fairy temple and stared at the emperor statue in front of him with a deep look.

"One day, my ancient spirit clan will return to the fairy world and take back everything my clan has lost!"

A low voice came out, and a sharp edge gradually flashed in the high priest's eyes.

...

On the fairy island, from time to time, there were figures flashing, rushing towards the palaces and pavilions everywhere.

These palaces and pavilions are all relics of the fairy world. There are many treasures left by the fairy world in them. Most of the people who enter have other gains.

But in addition, there are also powerful restrictions in these ruins. Some people who are unlucky were strangled to death without even seeing the treasure.

Therefore, in some ways, this is a place full of adventures and crises. Some people get great opportunities, while others end their lives here.

While all forces were exploring the island with great interest, a black fog suddenly appeared in the sky, with a sinister and extremely strange aura.

After this magic fog swept into the island, it floated in the air, as if looking for something. After a while, it flashed towards a certain direction deep in the fairy island at an astonishing speed and soon disappeared.

The sky soon calmed down.

But no one knew that shortly after the magic fog disappeared, another ray of light appeared here. The light dissipated, revealing a skinny old man with disheveled hair.

The old man had a khaki wine pot on his waist. He looked sleepy and confused, but there was a sharp light flashing in his eyes.

After staying there for a while, the old man narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction where the magic mist flew away, with a strange smile on his face.

"Humph, this great saintly demon is really not dead, willing to lower his cultivation to come to Penglai Fairy Island. It seems that this island not only has a passage to the fairy world, but also the passage to the demon world is probably here." The old man raised his head and took a sip of wine, muttering to himself.

The old man looked very familiar, and it was Zheng Dianfeng.

At this time, he was no different from usual, but the aura of his cultivation was only at the late stage of returning to the void.

After scanning the surroundings again, Zheng Dianfeng laughed and flew towards the depths of the fairy island.

The appearance of one person and one demon did not attract anyone's attention, as if nothing had happened.

At the same time, above a dense forest in the south of Penglai Fairy Island, Ye Chunyang, Gu Qian and others were flying slowly on the Cang Luan monster.

Ye Chunyang sat cross-legged on the back of the Cang Luan monster and closed his eyes in meditation. They did not deliberately hurry on their way, but explored the fairyland ruins on the island while moving.

It had been three days since Ye Chunyang fought with Man Xuan and Mu Yan. Along the way, they found several fairyland ruins and found some extraordinary magic weapons in several palaces.

These magic weapons are different from those seen in the outside world. They are not only powerful, but also full of spiritual energy. Even Ye Chunyang, who has many high-level magic weapons on him, can't help but be moved after seeing them.

In addition, there are some elixirs in those ruins, which are not owned by the spirit world in terms of quality and spirituality. In comparison, Ye Chunyang values ​​these elixirs more.

Of course, in addition to the harvest, they also encountered several powerful restrictions. Lin Qingshan was also injured in the group, but fortunately Ye Chunyang discovered it in time and rescued him immediately.

Lin Qingshan, who was still a little dissatisfied with Ye Chunyang, gradually changed his opinion of him after this series of events.

"Huh?"

While moving, the Cang Luan demon suddenly discovered something and paused.

"What happened?" Ye Chunyang opened his eyes and asked.

"It seems that there is a fight ahead." The Cang Luan demon said, "Should we go over and take a look?"

Hearing this, Ye Chunyang looked in that direction and saw the spiritual light interweaving in the air, and the sound of spells and magic weapons colliding and exploding continuously. It was obvious that someone was fighting, and the scale seemed to be quite large.

"It's better to have less trouble than more. We don't have to pay attention to it. Brother Ye, what do you think?" Gu Qian said, turning back to ask Ye Chunyang's opinion.

"Well." Ye Chunyang nodded slightly, "Let's go."

Ye Chunyang was not a person who liked to meddle in other people's business, so he naturally agreed with what Gu Qian said.

The Cang Luan demon then flew again, but because the fight was right in front of them, they could only force their way through it.

"Wait!"

Just when he reached the sky above the battle circle, Ye Chunyang suddenly stood up and his eyes fixed.
