Killing God - Chapter 427
Chapter 427 Hearing Wind Hall
Shen Shi’s footsteps, which were originally moving forward, abruptly paused. He raised his eyes to look at Du Tiejian. However, after Du Tiejian said those words, his expression did not show anything special. Instead, he continued to walk forward.
However, if four great sect masters like the Four Great Clans were four people standing at the peak of the entire Primordial Chaos Cultivation World, why would they suddenly receive an ordinary Origin Condensation Realm disciple? This was very strange in itself. Looking at Du Tiejian’s expression and reaction, perhaps this bald senior brother actually knew something about it.
After a moment of silence, Shen Shi continued to follow behind Du Tiejian towards the summit of Starseizing Peak. However, at this moment, his mood wasn’t as calm as it was on his face. The mountain path on the Star Seizing Peak was smooth, and the stone steps went up. The trees on both sides of the road were green and forested, and there was even a white mist floating in the forest. It was an atmosphere of an immortal family. However, at this moment, Shen Shi was full of thoughts and his heart was surging, but he recalled the past in his heart.
Actually, less than a year had passed since it was said to be a thing of the past. However, as the scenes he had seen in the past three years in the Demon Realm appeared in his heart, Shen Shi suddenly felt that the memory was actually so distant that it even brought with it a bit of strangeness.
He had forgotten how long it had been since he remembered his days in the Demon Realm. To him, that memory of the past was not a pleasant thing. Especially after the tragic deaths of the old white monkey and the stone pig that had followed him back to the Human Realm, Shen Shi subconsciously wanted to forget those things.
However, today, he suddenly discovered that those things were still engraved in his heart, and his memories hadn’t faded or disappeared in the slightest.
He lowered his head and walked forward without saying a word.
During the Sizheng Convention, many Origin Core Realm Daoists from the Four Great Clans rarely stayed in the courtyard on the Immortal Welcoming Platform. Yuanshi Sect naturally had other plans for these great Daoists, and the place where the Four Great Sect Leaders, who were famous all over the world, were going to receive Shen Shi was the “Wind Listening Hall” on the Star Seizing Peak.
The Hearing Wind Hall was not a grand hall in Yuanshi Sect, but a quiet cultivation hall in a secluded environment. The four Sect Leaders received Shen Shi in this place and asked Du Tiejian to bring Shen Shi over in a manner that did not alert others. It seemed to mean something. After taking Shen Shi along the mountain path for a while, Du Tiejian quickly left the stone steps of the flat road and turned into another narrow path beside him.
After walking in such a winding manner for a while, the surroundings quickly quieted down. Shen Shi only listened to the quiet surroundings. Occasionally, a few bird chirps could be heard, adding to the silence. Only the sound of the wind outside the forest seemed to have become louder and more urgent than before. After a while, a fork in the road suddenly appeared in front of him. One was a mountain path similar to the one before, and it continued to winding forward smoothly. The other was a mountain path with stone steps. Layers after layer, they headed towards the top of the mountain.
Du Tiejian paused at the fork of the road. He pointed at the stone staircase that was heading towards the top of the mountain and said to Shen Shi, “Junior Brother Shen, from here on out, you will be known as the ‘True Enlightenment Rock’. Legend has it that Duke Yuan Wen, the former leader of the six human saints, comprehended the Grand Dao there and created a secret method to absorb spiritual energy from spirit crystals.”
Shen Shi was stunned for a moment before nodding his head. He looked up at the mountain path and saw that the stone steps were piled up layer upon layer, slowly and silently spreading towards the top of the mountain. A few clouds and fog obscured his line of sight, making him even more mysterious.
Du Tiejian smiled and continued to walk forward with Shen Shi. Not long after, the two of them saw the Hearing Wind Hall.
It was a small hall that looked very ordinary. It was simple and elegant. It was seated between a patch of ancient pine and cypress trees. The door was half open, and there was no one in front of it. A few dozen feet away from here, there was a precipitous cliff. Clouds billowed like waves, and the winds from the mountains could be heard from afar. It must have been from this place that one of the Wind Hall’s disciples came.
Shen Shi looked at the Hearing Wind Hall and suddenly felt a little nervous. After all, there were probably four great figures in the current world like Mount Tai and the Beidou. They were Grand Daoists that he needed to look up to, but not as high up as them.
Du Tiejian seemed to have sensed Shen Shi’s emotions. He suddenly reached out and patted him on the shoulder. Then, he said gently, “It’s fine, don’t worry.”
Shen Shi took a deep breath and calmed himself down before nodding at Du Tiejian. Du Tiejian smiled, then suddenly turned around and left this place with large strides. Only Shen Shi, who was slightly stunned, stood alone in front of the Hearing Wind Hall.
④
This is … there are some things that even this Eldest Senior Brother is temporarily unable to know?
Shen Shi was a little confused. He sighed softly. Then, he slowly walked to the Hearing Wind Hall and tidied up his clothes. Then, he gritted his teeth and said in a loud voice, “Disciple Shen Shi requests to see you.”
After a while, a gentle voice came from the Hearing Wind Hall. It was Daoist Huaiyuan, the head of the Ling Xiao Sect, and he said, “Come in.”
Shen Shi agreed and walked into the Hearing Wind Hall.
Just as he stepped over the threshold, Shen Shi saw four large chairs placed in the front hall, two on each side. There were people on them. However, before Shen Shi could even look at those people, he suddenly discovered something very strange. It was that when he stepped into the Hearing Wind Hall, the sound of the wind outside the hall, which had been very clear and urgent not long ago, instantly disappeared.
In this Hearing Wind Hall, there was actually not the slightest bit of wind!
It felt as if an invisible force had suddenly enveloped this small hall, completely isolating the sound inside and outside. Shen Shi’s expression changed slightly. He guessed in his heart that this might be the restriction method of one of these great Dao Arts that could penetrate the heavens.
He didn’t dare to think too much. He quickly walked to the front and then knelt down, saying, “Disciple Shen Shi, greet the sect masters.”
“Yes,” replied Adept Huaiyuan, “get up and answer.”
“Yes.” Shen Shi agreed and stood up. He then looked up and saw four people sitting on the four large chairs on both sides. Adept Huai Yuan was sitting on the first chair on his right hand. On the first chair on his left hand opposite him was a man with a round face and thick eyebrows. If one looked at the number of seats, he would be the head of the Origin Sect, Adept Yuan Feng Hall. Apart from that, at the head of Daoist Primordial Wind Hall was an old monk dressed in a red and yellow robe. Needless to say, he was naturally the Sect Leader of the Dragon Suppressing Hall, Master Tian Ku. The remaining one was an old man who was sitting at the bottom of Daoist Huaiyuan’s head. He wasn’t tall and was thin, but his eyes shone with an aura as thick as a mountain. He must be the Heavenly Sword Palace’s Sect Leader, Nangong Lei.
Shen Shi didn’t dare to be rude after a glance. He obediently lowered his head and stood where he was. At the same time, the gazes of the top figures of the Primordial Chaos Cultivation World fell on him. Although there wasn’t any visible or invisible pressure, and the few Great Daoists naturally wouldn’t do anything boring to him, Shen Shi’s back broke out into a layer of cold sweat after a moment.
Even if he didn’t do anything, standing in front of the four of them was a huge burden to a disciple like him at the Origin Condensation Realm.
Fortunately, not long after, Adept Huaiyuan’s voice sounded again. “Shen Shi, the person here today is the Sect Leader of the Four Righteous Families. I’m sure you know the reason for calling you here to meet him.”
Shen Shi took a deep breath and said, “Yes.”
Adept Huaiyuan nodded his head and said, “That’s good. Tell the few Sect Leaders about your experiences in the Demon Realm during those three years.”
After the words “Demon Realm” came out of his mouth, The atmosphere in the Wind Hall suddenly became a little strange. However, looking closely at the other three Sect Leaders, their expressions did not change much. It seemed that Sect Leader Huaiyuan had already gotten along with them beforehand. Furthermore, with their status, no matter how big things happened, they would still be able to remain calm.
After a moment of silence, Shen Shi said, He began to explain, Starting from the time when he was cultivating on Bluefish Island in the past, When he went to Demon Island to hunt, he discovered that secret cave, Then, he found the miniature Golden Embryo Stone teleportation formation there. Afterwards, the spell formation triggered the teleportation to the demon realm, and then three years later, the Heavenly Azure Snake Demon Clan and the Black Phoenix Demon Clan fought to the death, and after the final battle in Phoenix Cry City, he was trapped in a secret room in the belly of the mountain. There was also a small Golden Embryo Stone teleportation spell formation there.
In the end, the formation was activated and he returned to the human-controlled Origin Realm.
One thing after another, the past still seemed to be vivid in his mind. Shen Shi spoke of the past in a low voice, as if he had gone through the past once more. The faces of the demons also flashed in front of his eyes. It was hard to tell what kind of emotion it was. Naturally, it was impossible for it to be a love affair. However, it did not seem like it was a deep hatred. Everything seemed to have gradually calmed down in the past period of time. Even his own mood seemed to be somewhat unexpectedly calm.
After he finished speaking, he heard that there seemed to be a moment of peace in the Wind Hall. This strange fortune seemed to surprise these knowledgeable Grand Daoists, and they began to ponder over it. After a while, a deep voice suddenly rang out. It was the round-faced Daoist Primordial Wind Hall, who said, “Martial Nephew Shen, according to what you said just now, the demon race in the Demon Realm has declined to the extreme. There are practically no more demons of the Heavenly Yao level appearing in the Demon Realm.”
Shen Shi nodded his head and said with certainty, “Exactly. What I have heard and seen in the past three years is the same as what the people of the demon race have said.”
Yuan Feng Hall slowly nodded, his gaze thoughtful. On the other side, Sect Leader Tianjian Palace Nangong Lei also spoke, but he was asking about the little Golden Embryo Stone teleportation formation. Apart from Adept Huaiyuan, the three Grand Adepts had asked Shen Shi a lot of questions about the Demon Realm, and Shen Shi had answered them one by one.
Apart from the Yin Yang Curse, the two beads, and the mysterious Huang Ming.
About half an hour later, this interview could be considered over. After feeling that no one around was asking any more questions, Shen Shi slowly heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. Actually, these three Great Daoists didn’t have any excessive attitudes towards a small Origin Condensation cultivator like him. It could even be said that they were calm most of the time. After all, with their status, there was no need for them to pretend in front of such a small figure like Shen Shi.
However, Shen Shi still felt a lot of pressure. Fortunately, it seemed that this trial had finally passed.
A moment later, Adept Huaiyuan’s voice slowly sounded, “The matter of the Demon Realm has a lot to do with it. I will discuss it with the three Sect Leaders in detail, but it is still inappropriate to tell anyone about it. You must keep it a secret and not tell anyone about it.”
Shen Shi hurriedly nodded and said, “Yes, this disciple knows.”
Daoist Huaiyuan nodded and said, “Then you can go down first.”
Shen Shi knelt down and bowed. Then, he turned around and left. The moment he walked out of the threshold of the Hearing Wind Hall, a hurried sound of wind suddenly rang in his ears, causing his body to tremble slightly.
The feeling was indescribable. It was as if the originally pale scene had suddenly gained life spiritual energy, and the heavens and earth suddenly began to move and live.
It was precisely because of this that Shen Shi felt even more awe towards the Hearing Wind Hall behind him. He thought to himself that the methods of these great trustees were truly unfathomable, and he subconsciously quickly left this place.
After walking along the mountain path for a while, he suddenly stopped and saw the forked path leading to the top of the mountain. He raised his head and looked in that direction. Looking at the high clouds and mist, he suddenly felt a bit of inexplicable yearning in his heart.
True Enlightenment Rock, where Yuan Wentian had once comprehended the Dao …
The mountain breeze blew by. After a moment of silence, he turned around and walked towards the stone steps.
