Xu Ying sighed inwardly, knowing that he had no chance of escape. Zhou Qi Yun, the ancestor of the Zhou family, was a legendary figure and the most powerful being in the world today. There was no way for him to escape.

He felt a bit absurd. Zhou Qi Yun was a snake catcher over three hundred years ago who accidentally entered the Qin Yan Cave while catching a strange snake and obtained the inheritance of the Mud Pill Palace. Over three hundred years later, Xu Ying also entered the Qin Yan Cave because of a strange snake. Inexplicably, there seemed to be a kind of wonderful fate that connected them.

Zhou Qi Yun waved his hand lightly, and five ox demons suddenly floated up silently and landed on one side. Zhou Yu Po endured the pain and stood up with difficulty, standing by without daring to speak.

Xu Ying felt a strange force surging into his body, and the scattered beans and soldiers on his body immediately unraveled, restoring his body to its original state. Yuan Qi also recovered his original physique.

Zhou Qi Yun came to Xu Ying's side, looked him up and down, and said, "You opened the Mud Pill Palace, but didn't practice its techniques? Yes, I took away all the classics left by its owner in the Mud Pill Palace that I could take away. I burned the ones I couldn't take away. Therefore, you didn't get his inheritance."

Xu Ying was slightly startled.

This was definitely a shameful matter. Unexpectedly, Zhou Qi Yun spoke about it so openly, with a meaning of being open and aboveboard.

"Senior Zhou, why did you burn the efforts of the Mud Pill Palace's owner back then?" Xu Ying asked.

Zhou Qi Yun walked ahead and said lightly, "Back then, I entered the Qin Yan Cave to catch a strange snake and accidentally entered a stone room, where I obtained the inheritance of the Mud Pill Palace's owner. I was overjoyed and knelt down to worship the skeleton, thinking that I would fly high in this life and no longer be a snake catcher. However, there were too many classics in the stone room, and they were all kinds of martial arts and magical techniques. I couldn't take them all away, didn't want to leave them to posterity, and didn't want anyone else to learn the same techniques as me. So, I made up my mind and burned everything I couldn't take away!"

Xu Ying frowned slightly and followed him step by step.

Zhou Qi Yun smiled. Obviously, he didn't think he did anything wrong. Instead, he was quite pleased with his actions.

He walked slowly and said, "I know that Qin Yan Cave is of great importance. If someone finds out that there is a Mud Pill Palace in the cave with a mysterious inheritance, they will most likely track me down. So, I left behind a scroll of scriptures and a gourd of elixir."

Xu Ying was shocked and exclaimed, "The gourd of elixir that Yuan Qi's grandfather found was left by you!"

"Yuan Qi's grandfather?"

Zhou Qi Yun looked at Yuan Qi in surprise and said, "You are the grandson of that strange snake? Hahaha, we really have a deep connection."

Yuan Qi was also shocked and exclaimed, "It was you who chased and forced my grandfather into the Qin Yan Cave? My grandfather often mentioned you when he was alive. He said that if it weren't for you, he would never have discovered the cave and would never have become a monster."Zhou Qiyun smiled and said, "Your grandfather becoming a demon was my doing. The owner of the Mud Pill Palace left many elixirs and miraculous medicines in the stone room to assist me in my Foundation Establishment cultivation. I left a gourd of elixir for the strange snake that led me here. When it takes the elixir, it will gain spiritual wisdom. I remember the scripture I left for it was called the Dari Guide, which is one of the rare demon cultivation methods in the Mud Pill Palace collection."

Yuan Qi quickly said, "There is also a martial art technique called the Elephant Power Bull Demon Fist in the Dari Guide!"

Zhou Qiyun thought for a moment and said, "There should be that martial art technique. At that time, I had ulterior motives and thought that if I could find this place, someone else could too. If they found that the Mud Pill Palace owner's treasure was in my hands, they would do everything possible to get rid of me and obtain the treasure. So, hehe, I gave the strange snake the elixir and the Dari Guide."

Yuan Qi still didn't understand, but Xu Ying understood and said, "Senior Zhou had a good plan. Even if someone else finds this place, they will think that the strange snake obtained the Mud Pill Palace owner's inheritance. They will think that the Mud Pill Palace owner's inheritance is nothing special and won't investigate further."

As he said this, Yuan Qi suddenly realized and exclaimed, "You're blaming my grandfather!"

Zhou Qiyun said lightly, "If I hadn't left the gourd of elixir and the cultivation method, would you be here now?"

Yuan Qi fell silent.

Xu Ying asked, "Senior Zhou, how old were you at that time?"

Zhou Qiyun looked at him and said, "About the same age as you."

Xu Ying sighed, "I don't have Senior's meticulous thinking. I can't believe you thought of so much in such a short time. Senior's thoughts are too deep and far-reaching."

Zhou Qiyun sighed, "Later, I realized that I was too cautious. No one went to Qin Yan Cave, and no one cared about a snake turning into a demon. I gradually rose to prominence in Lingling. Four years later, when I came of age, I was already the number one person in Yongzhou."

A broken temple came into view ahead, and Xu Ying looked around and his heart skipped a beat—it was Shuikou Temple.

At this moment, Shuikou Temple was no longer on the original big crack, but had moved thirty li to the south!

Xu Ying's heart skipped a beat, "This broken temple is moving towards Wuwang Mountain! It seems that the White-Clothed Nuo Immortal probably knows that I live on Wuwang Mountain, but he doesn't know that Wuwang Mountain has already suffered a disaster!"

Zhou Qiyun walked straight towards Shuikou Temple and continued, "I opened the eighth layer of my secret treasure when I was fifty-seven years old. The eighth layer of my secret treasure had already been opened by me. At that time, I was the most eye-catching new talent in the demon cultivation world. Emperor Mingxiaohuang, the Great Sage of the Way, touched my head and praised me as a versatile person. I was indeed worthy of this title."

Xu Ying's mind was stirred. A genius recognized by the world was indeed something to be proud of.

Zhou Qiyun walked through the gate of Shuikou Temple. At this time, Shuikou Temple was no longer a world outside the gate and a world inside, but looked ordinary and no different from an ordinary temple."I opened the eighth layer of my secret storage when I was fifty-seven years old, but it wasn't until I was one hundred and forty-three years old that I opened the ninth layer. People say that I, the talented Jiang Lang, have exhausted my talents and mock me, insult me. But the reason why I haven't made a breakthrough is that I saw the trap left in the cultivation method by the owner of the Mud Pill Palace." Zhou Xingyun walked towards the central hall of the Shuikou Temple with a sad expression on his face.

Xu Ying frowned slightly and asked, "Trap? What kind of immortal realm?"

He suddenly thought of his own experience of opening the Mud Pill Palace and immediately realized, "Senior Zhou, could it be that the owner of the Mud Pill Palace helped you open the Mud Pill Palace?"

Zhou Qiyun walked to the central hall of the Shuikou Temple, and with a gentle flick of his sleeve, the space shook violently, and the central hall and the shaking space were pushed to both sides!

The space trembled violently, thunder and lightning intertwined, and the space was squeezed out of rolling thunder and fire, and infinite energy burst out!

Xu Ying watched with trepidation as another world hidden in the Shuikou Temple was opened by Zhou Qiyun, and the Five Immortals Mountains and the Great Temple came into view!

"Zhou's ancestor is really powerful!" Yuan Qi exclaimed.

Zhou Yupo glared fiercely at the big snake and Yuan Qi said, "If you keep staring, let Ah Ying's bull whip you!"

Zhou Yupo shuddered and glanced timidly at the five ox demons behind Xu Ying.

Xu Ying looked around and saw that the broken temple world was very different from the last time he came. The giant stones hanging in the sky were nowhere to be seen, and the large chunks of flesh waving their blood vessels were also gone.

But there were crimson flesh and blood moving on the five immortal mountains, and some thick muscle lines climbing on the mountain, like blood-colored pythons, still growing.

Xu Ying was shocked in his heart: "This evil Nuo immortal must have devoured a lot of people's flesh and blood! After being eaten by that person, he tried to plunder other people's flesh and blood. He wants to be reborn!"

Zhou Qiyun stood on a cloud and carried everyone up into the sky. He strolled leisurely towards the Great Temple between the Five Immortals Mountains, saying, "In the stone room, when I kowtowed to the bones of the owner of the Mud Pill Palace, the bones suddenly lifted their hands and pointed at my forehead. This finger opened my Mud Pill Palace. It was indeed a trap. I realized this when I opened the fifth layer of the Mud Pill Palace. So I abandoned the fifth layer and started over from scratch. I almost died because of this."

Xu Ying withdrew his gaze, shocked and admiring, and praised, "Senior is a person with great courage, great perseverance, and great wisdom. Opening the fifth layer of the secret storage and cultivating five great cave heavens is already a dragon and phoenix among men, and you can be entrusted with important tasks as a commander. And you said you abandoned it and then rebuilt it, which is truly amazing!"

Zhou Qiyun said, "You also opened the Mud Pill Palace. Did the owner of the Mud Pill Palace point at your forehead with one finger when you kowtowed to him and open your secret storage?"

Xu Ying shook his head, "Why should I kneel to him? I can open the Mud Pill Palace myself. Why ask for help?"

He spoke with a hint of arrogance.Zhou Qiyun glanced at him in surprise, then continued, "The trap I'm talking about is in the cultivation method. Without the corresponding method, it's difficult to fully unleash the power of the treasure. When I was fifty-eight years old, I was preparing to break through to the ninth level of the treasure, but suddenly realized this flaw and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat."

At this point, they had already arrived at the temple, where the gate was wide open and the wind and rain were shaking it. The waterfall in front of the gate had become exceptionally terrifying, and the countless divine powers hidden within it were on the verge of erupting!

In addition, there were hundreds of gods standing in front of the gate, seven or eight zhang tall, with a murderous aura and surrounded by the fragrance of incense, and the sound of the people's chanting was like thunder!

Through the gate of the temple, they could see the white-robed Nuo Immortal sitting in front of the fairy hall, his white hair flying, and his fairy light surrounding him like a sword, as if facing a great enemy!

When Zhou Qiyun stepped into the broken temple, he had already sensed this powerful enemy and knew that the person's strength was extremely high and not to be underestimated. Therefore, he had long ago laid a trap in front of the temple, waiting for Zhou Qiyun and the others to arrive!

Zhou Qiyun ignored this scene and bowed lightly to Xu Ying. "I apologize."

After speaking, he floated up like a fairy light and passed through the exploding waterfall and the hundreds of killing gods!

In the next moment, he appeared in the temple, in front of the fairy hall!

Nuo Immortal Chen Mianzhu had not yet stood up when he was pointed at the forehead by Zhou Qiyun and his skin exploded, his essence leaking out and quickly shriveling up, turning into a deflated skin and floating backwards!

"Snap!"

The skin hung on the wall of the fairy hall!

Xu Ying's heart skipped a beat, and Da Zhong's voice came: "Ah Ying, this person is strong! With just one finger, he shattered the resentment of the evil Nuo Immortal and completely annihilated him!"

At this moment, Zhou Qiyun seemed to sense something amiss and turned to look at Xu Ying.

Da Zhong said solemnly, "He's noticed me!"

Xu Ying also felt a sense of unease and walked forward with a smile. He had just arrived at the temple when he suddenly saw the hidden landscape waterfall, which contained the image of endless avenues, suddenly collapsing and the foreheads of hundreds of majestic gods exploding!

Xu Ying hadn't even reached the temple gate yet, but everything had already settled!

"I only saw him move as fast as lightning, but I didn't see when he made his move and shattered everything." Zhou Qiyun said in amazement.

"This evil Nuo Immortal is also a pitiful person."

Zhou Qiyun stood with his back to him, standing in the hall of the fairy hall with his hands behind his back, looking up at the skin nailed to the wall, waiting for Xu Ying to approach. "I sensed a major flaw in the Nuo Master's cultivation method, but he didn't notice it himself, so he lived in the hidden landscape and was taken advantage of by others. Heh, he died because he was inferior to others!"

Xu Ying came up behind him and exclaimed, "Are you saying that there was a trap in this Nuo Immortal's cultivation method, and that's why he was eaten? But who could know that there was a trap in his technique?"

He suddenly realized something as he spoke.

The only person who would know about the trap in the technique would be the person who created it!Sweat beads appeared on his forehead. Suddenly, he thought of the inheritance of the owner of the Mud Pill Palace. If he was to open the treasure trove of the owner's bones and cultivate their techniques, wouldn't that be like jumping into a trap and handing his life over to the other party?

Zhou Qiyun waved his hand, and the human skin floated down.

He carefully examined the human skin and asked, "Do you know how I escaped the trap of the Mud Pill Palace's inheritance?"

Xu Ying was about to shake his head when suddenly he had a flash of insight and said, "The demon technique! No, it's the cultivation technique of a Qi Refiner!"

Zhou Qiyun looked at him in surprise, his eyes twitched, and after a moment, he said, "You're so clever that I suddenly have the urge to kill you. I'm not used to seeing someone smarter than me."

He paused and continued along with Xu Ying's words, "That's right, it's the cultivation technique of a Qi Refiner. After I discovered the trap, I thought about it for a long time but couldn't find a solution. For 86 years, I traveled around looking for the whereabouts of the Nuo Immortals. During those 86 years, I found the hiding places of 17 Nuo Immortals."

He let out a sigh and said calmly, "They all died in their own hidden places, without exception. Ha, the so-called Ascension's small immortal world within the body is just a joke!"

- Thanks to Mengchuanzhi, who has a low profile, Papaya Prawn, Zhangzhang1, and the four alliance leaders for their rewards. I am sincerely grateful and bow to you all!
