Chapter 297 Black Spirit Realm
"Young Master Chao, let me introduce you first. This is Xuan Yuan Leiting, the head of the Xuan Yuan family."
Chao Bufan nodded and smiled as a greeting, and Xuan Yuan Leiting returned the smile.
"This is Situ Xiao, the head of the Situ family."
"This is Murong Su, the head of the Murong family."
"This is Ding Zheng, the head of the Ding family."
……
Chao Bufan greeted them one by one, and then Xuanyuan Leiting said, "Young Master Chao, whether it is the East or the West, or even the whole world, the gods they worship are all the same, they all come from the Heavenly Court."
Chao Bufan asked, "Then why are there two types of gods, one for the East and one for the West?"
Xuanyuan Leiting said, "Back then, after Lord Fuxi led his people to ascend to heaven, he spent three hundred years establishing the Heavenly Court, which was initially in its initial stages. Fuxi, for the sake of the righteous path, devoted himself to cultivation and ordered the God of Light and the God of Darkness, who were sitting on his left and right, to jointly govern the Heavenly Court. Later, due to the many disasters and calamities in the human world, as well as natural and man-made disasters, the God of Light and the God of Darkness could not bear to see it any longer, so they each ordered their four guardians to protect the human world."
Chao Bufan nodded in relief and said, "Patriarch Xuanyuan, are you referring to the eight guardians of the East: the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise, and the West: Wind, Rain, Thunder, and Lightning?"
"Indeed, these are the eight celestial beings."
Chao Bufan smiled slightly and said, "I have seen these eight people before."
"kindness?"
Everyone looked surprised. Even Ding Jichun and Murong Jinshui, who were still angry, turned their gazes to Chao Bufan at the same time. Xuan Yuan Leiting asked, "Young Master Chao, have you seen these eight gods?"
Chao Bufan nodded and said, "To be honest, the strange phenomenon that appeared in the southwest a few days ago was actually caused by these eight gods."
Everyone was startled again. He Jingde asked in surprise, "Young Master Chao, is this really true?"
Chao Bufan nodded and said, "That day, I chased the HX armored truck robbers all the way to the border between HX and the YN Empire. Who knew that these robbers hired a foreigner named Williams to help deal with my HX police. This Williams is a magician. During my fight with him, he used a magic stone to summon the four Western gods of wind, rain, thunder and lightning to fight me."
"hiss!"
Upon hearing this, everyone gasped in shock, their faces filled with astonishment.
"During my fight with that Thor, the four Eastern gods, Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise, appeared, which saved my life."
Chao Bufan explained casually, not caring whether they believed him or not, but He Jingde said excitedly, "No wonder the Eight Directions Divine Fire Mirror showed abnormalities, so that's why. Young Master Chao, I wonder if the four guardians, Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise, have ever mentioned our eight great cultivation families?"
Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan smiled slightly and shook his head, saying, "No."
Xuanyuan Leiting asked excitedly, "Did they say anything?"
Chao Bufan shook his head again and said, "He didn't say anything. After the Azure Dragon Protector sent away the four protectors of wind, rain, thunder and lightning, he gave me a Heavenly Pill and then left."
"Heavenly...Heavenly Pill?"
Everyone was startled. He Jingde asked, "Young Master Chao, did the Azure Dragon Protector really give you a Heavenly Pill?"
Chao Bufan laughed and said, "Yes, and he taught me all my cultivation."
"what?"
Everyone was shocked again. He Huacheng exclaimed, "No wonder Young Master Chao's cultivation is so profound, far beyond what we can achieve. It turns out that Young Master Chao is a disciple of the Azure Dragon Protector."
Chao Bufan chuckled inwardly, but said aloud, "Actually, I can't really call myself a disciple. Protector Qinglong only gave me a few pointers. What really boosted my cultivation was that Heavenly Pill."
Xuanyuan Leiting said, "Young Master Chao, could you demonstrate your skills?"
Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan nodded and smiled, then flipped his right hand, and a real yellow balloon appeared in his palm.
He Jingde exclaimed in shock, "Peak of the Yellow Realm? This..."
Yes, the pinnacle of the Yellow Realm.
Among the eight great families, the highest cultivation level belongs to the eight family heads, who are at the mid-stage of the Yellow Realm. Next are the eight elders, who are at the early stage of the Yellow Realm. The other elders are at the mid-stage and peak of the Profound Realm. As for the outstanding disciples of the eight great families, such as He Linfeng, they are also at the mid-stage of the Profound Realm.
Therefore, Chao Bufan was slightly surprised when he first saw the overall strength of the He family.
When Ding Jichun saw that Chao Bufan's cultivation was at the peak of the Yellow Realm, his eyes twitched slightly. He secretly rejoiced, thinking that his slap had missed, otherwise he would have been dead for sure. But then he thought about it again and felt relieved. His slap hadn't missed, but rather... He couldn't help but shudder and said, "Young Master Chao, I was somewhat rude just now. I hope you will forgive me."
Seeing Ding Jichun's sincerity, Chao Bufan smiled slightly and said, "It's alright, I've already forgotten what happened earlier. Elder Ding, please don't act so impulsively in the future. Impulsiveness is the devil, you know?"
"Yes, yes, Young Master Chao is right, I will remember it."
Chao Bufan stood up and said, "Alright, Patriarch He, can you take me to see the so-called Black Spirit Domain now?"
Upon hearing this, He Jingde nodded and smiled, saying, "Of course, Young Master Chao, please come with me."
The eight patriarchs and eight elders led Chao Bufan to the back mountain of the family, where there was a huge square. In the center of the square was a huge stone statue, surrounded by a carved railing. It looked like an altar. A circle of ruins, some high and some low, some large and some small, clearly formed a circle, like stars surrounding the moon, encircling a relatively intact stone platform in the center. The platform was made of white stone and was tens of feet long and wide. More than a dozen stone steps led to the platform, where the stone statue was located.
This place has obviously been abandoned for a long time. After countless years of wind, frost, rain and snow, the surrounding stone masonry has long been dilapidated. Only the platform in the middle is relatively intact and is mostly well-preserved. However, the solid stone buildings are also mottled, dilapidated and old, exuding an aura of ruin everywhere.
I don't know how the He family manages this place. They don't even bother to repair it, or is this place just an abandoned ruin?
The stone statue is dozens of feet tall. Exposed to wind and rain, and sun and rain, it is also mottled and unrecognizable, covered with a thick layer of moss.
In the four cardinal directions of the platform, there are four two-meter-tall animal statues: a stone dragon, a stone tiger, a stone phoenix, and a stone tortoise. They are all disfigured and mottled, covered with a thick layer of moss.
"Young Master Chao, this is the statue of the God of Light."
