Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice-Chapter 399: A loyal hymn

The state of Lou Ban became more and more strange, and his spirit was quietly changing. From time to time, immortal light would penetrate from his body, turning into magnificent palaces and cloud bridges behind him.

Su Yun was extremely nervous. Although sitting on the cushion was comfortable for him, Lou Ban had no physical body, and whether the cushion was harmful or beneficial to his spirit was not something Su Yun could know.

Ying Ying slipped onto the cloud bridge behind Lou Ban, running all the way to the illusory palaces.

Su Yun activated the Winged Dragon Heavenly Eye and carefully observed, but found no change in Lou Ban's spirit in the immortal light.

"Immortal light helps with spiritual cultivation, while immortal energy is beneficial for physical cultivation. However, why hasn't his spirit changed?" Su Yun was puzzled. Even a normal spirit should have been transformed into a golden body under the influence of immortal light!

Even a pseudo-god like a golden body spirit could at least increase some strength. But Lou Ban showed no change, which puzzled Su Yun.

Suddenly, Ying Ying's cry came, "Su Scholar, I can't get out! Save me—"

Su Yun hurriedly looked over, only to see the girl running into the illusory palaces behind Lou Ban, getting lost in the complex architecture.

However, as Su Yun looked closely, he couldn't help but be astonished. The palaces and pavilions behind Lou Ban seemed to contain boundless space, complex and profound, unlike anything he had ever seen before!

This building gave him the feeling of a world, a huge planet composed of pavilions, cloud bridges, and even corridors and rooms inside the planet, enveloping the natural landscape within the planet!

"Most importantly, this building is alive!"

Su Yun frowned. This architectural world was constantly changing its geography and structure, making it impossible for people to find a way out once they entered!

Even if he entered, he would get lost, let alone Ying Ying?

Master Cen came to Su Yun's side, carefully observing, and couldn't help but be moved, saying, "The pavilion master of the Tongtian Pavilion is truly a new academic leader, a figure revered by the people. He did not try to learn the immortal arts of the exiled immortals, but absorbed their ideas. He used the power of the cushion to visualize and perfect his own divine powers, which is worth my reference..."

Su Yun was slightly startled, and immediately understood the hidden meaning in his words.

Lou Ban's physical body was dead, his brain had lost its thinking, and his spirit could not change on its own. Therefore, while he was contemplating on the cushion, he did not attempt to incorporate his insights into himself, but instead used the characteristics of the cushion to turn it into an "external object."

This "external object" was the building that was currently trapping Ying Ying.

"The immortal energy and light in the cushion can be transformed into real things during visualization. Lou Ban's fellow stall owner relied on this point to write down his insights in the form of buildings while transforming into an exiled immortal." Su Yun thought to himself.

As time passed, the building behind Lou Ban became more and more complete and real.

As for Ying Ying, she knew to ask for help at the beginning, but her voice gradually became inaudible, and no one knew where she was trapped.

Two days later, Lou Ban woke up and released Ying Ying. The little girl immediately flapped her paper wings and flew to Su Yun's shoulder. Su Yun quickly opened his spiritual realm, and Ying Ying flew into it, not daring to come out.

—She had been flying around behind Lou Ban's building for two or three days, not only failing to find a way out, but also exhausting herself to despair.

"This cushion is indeed good, and the divine power of the exiled immortals is truly shocking."

Lou Ban was lost in thought, and after a moment, sighed, "His immortal arts are truly wonderful, and I am one step closer to the Dao. I can understand it, but it may be difficult to apply it to my own divine powers for a while. Such a wonderful immortal art, yet it still cannot withstand the immortal sword. I must cut off my arm to survive..."

He shook his head, feeling incredulous.

Su Yun asked, "Did the fellow stall owner see what happened to him after he ascended?"

Lou Ban shook his head, "I didn't see it. This cushion should be the immortal tool he comprehended. It is extraordinary, but it lacks his insights in the immortal realm. I don't know if he deliberately concealed it."

Master Cen also came forward and sat on the cushion to contemplate.

In terms of talent, Master Cen was actually not as good as Lou Ban.

The first person in Confucianism was Confucius, and then there were dozens of Confucian saints. By the time of Master Cen's generation, the new academic school was gradually flourishing, and Confucianism, without innovation, had become an old school.

Although Master Cen wanted to make changes, the shackles of the old school were like chains, binding him tightly. He inherited the ancient saint's supreme learning, but intended to change the fate of the ancient saint's supreme learning, torn between the old and the new, as if a god was bound by his own Dao and principles.

Therefore, his great saintly spirit soldier was called the Immortal Binding, not binding others, but binding himself.

Lou Ban, on the other hand, had none of these burdens and moved forward lightly, thus achieving higher accomplishments.However, Master Cen still tried to make changes, that is, to accept Master Lingyue as a disciple, and to use Lingyue's rebellion to complete the revolution of the new Confucianism against the old Confucianism.

"I wonder if Master Cen can comprehend the principle of breaking free from restraints?" Su Yun thought to himself.

In the city of Ying'an, the golden body of the Chai family's god returned with a group of bandits, led by one of the four ancient gods, Chai Fuli. There is also another golden body ancient god in the city, Chai Keji.

When the two ancient gods met, Chai Keji asked, "Have you caught that bandit, Nan Buyi?"

Chai Fuli shook his head and said, "Nan Buyi, that thief, is extremely cunning and has also stolen many treasures. He fled westward, and we chased him for hundreds of thousands of miles, only to be led into a forbidden area by him and his followers. I'm worried that there will be trouble here, so I rushed back first. Outside the forbidden area, Ganpin and Ledao are guarding. When Nan Buyi comes out, he will die!"

Ganpin and Ledao of the Chai family are also ancient gods with golden bodies. They are often father and son or grandfather and grandson with Chai Yundu. Chai Yundu is a descendant of the first generation of immortals, while the four ancient gods with golden bodies are from the second or third generation.

Their bloodline is not as strong as Chai Yundu's, so when they die, they have to rely on immortal light to form a golden body. Chai Yundu, on the other hand, is still young and shows no signs of aging.

Passing down the immortal body's bloodline is not easy, and it is often passed down singly, with one or two exceptions. They also fear intermarriage with outsiders, which would dilute and contaminate the bloodline, so intermarriage within the clan is common.

Many who intermarry within the clan die young, so the Chai family has only a few million people left to this day.

Chai Fuli looked worried and said, "You came back at just the right time. The meditation cushion was taken away, and Xianyun also disappeared. Many things fell, but the god's body was nowhere to be found..."

Chai Keji's eyes twitched, "The god's body will not be in trouble! How powerful is the god? Ordinary people can't get close to him!"

"But the god's body should have fallen!" Chai Fuli said, "There are only two possibilities: either Nan Buyi took it, or it fell into the hands of the person who broke into the Immortal Family Hall that day. Although we didn't see his face clearly, I heard Chai Fang and Chai Yi say that a guest from Tian Shiyuan has recently arrived in the city."

Chai Keji's heart jumped, "Where is the guest?"

.

Chai Fuli said, "In the side hall. I asked Chai Xirong to keep an eye on them, and Chai Xirong is monitoring them. These two have been quiet the whole time. If they are the ones who broke into the Immortal Family Hall and took the god's body, even with me and the four elders, we may not be a match for them." 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝐞𝐰𝐞𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝐞𝐥.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Chai Keji said in a deep voice, "You did the right thing, not to alert the enemy. Now that I'm here, whether they are dragons or worms, they will reveal their true form!"

As he spoke, he became excited, and his aura suddenly surpassed the limit that the world could bear!

Chai Keji suddenly saw a sword light shining on him, and he was startled, quickly suppressing his aura.

Chai Fuli quickly said, "Be careful. Don't release all your power, or you will alarm the Immortal Sword. We are in great danger!"

Chai Keji suppressed his excitement and said, "The god named me Keji, precisely to restrain my emotions. It seems that he had foreseen this."

The two ancient gods with golden bodies quickly arrived at the center of the city and headed towards the side hall next to the God's Hall.

In the side hall, Wutong's heart tightened, and he quickly activated the magic heart, and his voice rang in everyone's mind, "The two ancient gods with golden bodies from the Chai family have arrived!"

At this time, Master Cen was still sitting on the meditation cushion, still in a state of meditation.

Without hesitation, Su Yun immediately opened the spiritual realm and brought Master Cen and the meditation cushion into his spiritual realm, and stuffed them into a portal.

Wutong and Jiao Shu'Ao also entered their respective portals, and Su Yun picked up the portal and threw it into another portal.

These portals were the ones he had taken from the Guanghan Cave.

Behind Su Yun, the spiritual realm's spirit quickly got to work, one portal after another, and soon all the other portals disappeared, leaving only one portal.

Su Yun quickly opened the wall of runes hidden deep in his memory and threw the portal into it!

This series of actions was extremely skillful.

Lou Ban's face changed slightly as he came to Su Yun's side and whispered, "I've met the two ancient gods with golden bodies from the Chai family!"

Su Yun's heart jumped, and he was about to speak when Chai Xirong, who was crouching in the corner, suddenly laughed and said, "Why am I sitting here? Holy Spirit, what are you talking about?"

She had no memory of the terrifying events she had experienced, as Wutong had erased that painful experience from her memory before entering the portal.Louban was about to speak when suddenly an aged voice came from outside the hall: "I've heard that a holy spirit from Tian Market has come to visit. My Chai family is in the midst of troubled times and has neglected proper hospitality. Please forgive us for any offense!"

Louban's heart tightened: "This voice, it's that of the golden-bodied ancient god who suppressed me with a single move!"

Chai Xicong stepped forward to open the door, smiling as she said: "You may not know, but the one outside is our Chai family's old ancestor, Chai Fuli. By lineage, he's a second-generation immortal!"

Su Yun's eyes darted around, and cold sweat uncontrollably broke out on his forehead. Now, even if he acted to stuff Louban into his memory seal, it was probably too late!

Because Chai Xicong had seen Louban!

Louban's absence would definitely arouse her suspicion!

As Chai Xicong opened the door, Su Yun and Louban were in a state of helplessness when suddenly an immensely grand aura came from outside Ying'an City, shaking the space where Ying'an City was located and causing the divine mountain of Tianxi to tremble as well!

"A guest from Tian Market, the Heavenly Emperor Yu Daoyuan, has come to visit the divine lord of Yundu in the Emperor's Cave Heaven!"

The hearty laughter of Heavenly Emperor Yu Daoyuan clearly reached everyone's ears as he loudly proclaimed: "I come with good intentions, having already converted all the citizens of the Emperor's Cave Heaven to the Heavenly Court. I am here to spread the gospel!"

Chai Keji and Chai Fuli's faces changed drastically: "This person's strength is not inferior to ours! He's also someone who suppresses his power for fear of attracting the attention of the immortal sword!"

Without further ado to meet Su Yun and Louban, they immediately turned and walked outside. Chai Keji loudly said: "It turns out to be a guest from Tian Market. The esteemed guest may not know, but the fishermen at sea have their own master!"

His aura burst forth, fiercely colliding with the grandeur of Heavenly Emperor Yu Daoyuan, compressing the space until it twisted and deformed, with countless thunders bursting from the void and pouring down in all directions!

Heavenly Emperor Yu Daoyuan, leading the people of Tongtian Pavilion, stood in the sky. The Heavenly Court was vast, with numerous gods standing tall.

Even Yu Daoyuan was somewhat shaken, his blood and qi fluctuating as he exclaimed in surprise: "So-called Lord Yundu does have some skills, no wonder he dares to call himself a divine lord. Today, I shall conquer this place and make it my territory!"

He stood up, with the gods behind him uniting as one, transforming into an incredibly powerful celestial spirit. His aura surged instantly, overwhelming Chai Keji.

Seeing this, Chai Fuli hurriedly assisted his brother in defense.

The two of them, leading many experts of the Chai family, surged towards the city gates!

In the side hall, Su Yun was both shocked and delighted: "Yu Daoyuan is truly a timely help in the snow, I misunderstood him!"

Louban also said: "After Yu Daoyuan's death, we must erect a memorial archway for him, inscribed with 'Unparalleled Loyalty and Righteousness'!"

Heavenly Emperor Yu Daoyuan's arrival at this time undoubtedly rescued them from dire straits, making both the new and old masters of Tongtian Pavilion tearfully grateful, praising his loyalty and righteousness!

"Brother Louban, I will send you away from this place!"

Just as Su Yun uttered these words, suddenly a swath of yuan magnetic divine light showered down from the sky, and a majestic and unparalleled spirit descended along the vast yuan magnetic divine light.

Su Yun's eyelid twitched, the spirit of the divine lord Chai Yundu had finally arrived!

The climax
