Chapter 417: Yunmeng Ancient Lake A stick of incense has passed. In Gu Yuanqing's sight, a vast continent suddenly appeared in the middle of the ocean. The entire continent was shrouded in mist, like a layer of veil covering the mountains and rivers. As they got closer, Gu Yuanqing's spiritual sense, with the help of the power of the North District Mountain, could touch this place, but an invisible force blocked the spiritual sense. Gu Yuanqing could only see the scenery above the continent with the help of his Dongxu Tianpu. Here, there are green mountains, lakes and grasslands. The most eye-catching thing is the lakes of various sizes connected together, the water is clear, the waves are rippling, and the willows and lotus leaves are swaying in the wind. On the continent, rhinos roam and elk gather in herds. In the lake, fish and turtles swim around, and soft-shelled turtles swim leisurely. All kinds of creatures seem to live comfortably and freely here, as if it is a paradise on earth.

Gu Yuanqing stared for a moment, and suddenly realized from some subtle changes that the movement he just sensed was the breath emitted by this territory of tens of thousands of miles that squeezed out from the void. At this time, the Mountain-Carrying Divine Turtle had already entered the territory of this continent. There is an invisible barrier at the edge of the realm, and it is this barrier that blocks Gu Yuanqing's spiritual thoughts. When the Mountain-Carrying Divine Turtle broke in, the barrier suddenly burst into a light blue light. Gu Yuanqing could feel that when the two touched, countless spatial cracks and fine lines were born, tearing everything apart. But when these things fell on the divine turtle, they all dissipated into nothingness, and the island on the divine turtle's body was not affected at all, like a rock in the water, motionless. The animals on land looked at this huge creature in a daze for a few seconds before fleeing in panic. When the mountain-carrying divine turtle walked across the earth, the entire continent seemed to tremble a few times, but then it crawled lightly on the land without even its feet sinking deeply into the mud. Suddenly Gu Yuanqing discovered that the world outside was rapidly expanding! No, not bigger. Rather, some force was suppressing the Mountain-Carrying Divine Turtle so much that it was shrinking overall, and was also compressing the island and everything on its back in equal proportion. The Mountain-Carrying Divine Turtle seemed dissatisfied with the suppression of this force. It shook its head twice, and a faint light burst out from its body. Its body quickly grew larger, and finally stabilized at about a hundred miles in length. Suddenly, a roar was heard, and the fog covering the mountains twisted and condensed, and a white snake dozens of miles long appeared in it. It stared at the divine turtle with cold eyes, a hint of murderous aura emanating from it, and it coiled its snake body around and attacked like lightning. The group of monks who were just amazed by this land were suddenly shocked. Gu Yuanqing's mind also focused slightly. He could sense the aura and strength condensed by this snake, which was definitely far beyond the realm of Yin and Yang. However, this white snake is not a living creature, but a condensed form of some strange object or formation. The mountain-carrying turtle remained unmoved and continued moving forward, allowing the snake to bite and strangle it, but it could not hurt the turtle at all. But then more mist condensed and transformed into several giant snakes that attacked the divine turtle. The Mountain-Carrying Divine Turtle seemed to be a little annoyed at last. It raised its head and opened its mouth silently. The whole white snake suddenly solidified, turned into white sand and fell to the ground, and then dissipated into mist. It continued to move forward, and suddenly it raised its head. A hint of urgency suddenly appeared in its usually calm eyes, and then it moved forward even faster! In a moment, changes occurred again on the continent. The Mountain-Carrying Divine Turtle seemed to have broken into another formation, and all kinds of forces came together.

There was thunder striking with tremendous force. The fire was burning fiercely, covering the sky and the earth. There is also a black wind that attacks and destroys people's souls! The power of this formation was the first time Gu Yuanqing had seen it in his many years of practice. In comparison, the formation of the Sanyang Sect back then was like a child playing house. Even though his attainments in formations were not as good as before, he could not understand the reason for the changes and operations. It was as if everything was natural, and the changes in the avenues were natural. The monks on Beiquan Mountain were dazzled by all this, and felt that the various lights were about to blind their eyes, and they dared not look at it anymore. But other than that, the island was calm. Nothing can penetrate even a little bit. The mountain-carrying tortoise advanced again and suddenly found that the scorching sun that was originally hanging high in the sky suddenly dimmed. Gu Yuanqing looked more carefully and found that it was not the sun that was dim, but the light of the stars that covered up the sun's brightness. The starlight scattered and finally condensed into a light visible to the naked eye and fell forward. Gu Yuanqing looked intently and saw a nine-story pagoda standing on the top of the mountain. The Mountain-Carrying Divine Turtle flashed and rushed directly into the tower. The closer it got, the larger the tower seemed. This was the rule of space! After entering the tower, Gu Yuanqing suddenly discovered that there were some unusual movements in Beiquan Mountain, as if something was causing the origin of Beiquan Mountain to vibrate. As he became one with the people and mountain of Beiquan Mountain, he felt that his spiritual perception seemed to have expanded several times in an instant. Under the attraction of the origin of Beiquan Mountain, countless divine thoughts were magnified and touched one place. Afterwards, Gu Yuanqing felt that his soul and consciousness had broken into another space. It was filled with the power of countless starlights. Under some force, these starlights began to differentiate into yin and yang, and then condensed into liquid, forming the shape of yin and yang Tai Chi. His mind was instantly attracted by this changing process. These changes seemed to unfold all the yin and yang principles in his mind. And with a little bit of understanding and perception of the Yin-Yang Dao, the differentiated and condensed star liquid began to sink into Gu Yuanqing's soul. Some of it was transferred into the physical body through the connection between the soul and the physical body, some fell into the soul, and some was scattered in the world of heaven and man. Gu Yuanqing began to undergo some miraculous transformation from the inside out! The mountain-carrying tortoise that kept moving forward seemed to sense something and looked back curiously, with confusion and surprise in its eyes. However, it was immediately attracted to something more important to him... Time goes back to one day ago. Xiao Yunqi calculated the time and came to this vast ocean. He stood at the bow, and raised nine large seals of different colors. Nine Seals of Yunmeng! Not only are they nine magical weapons, but they are also the key to open the Yunmeng Ancient Lake. This is the ancient Taoist temple of Yunmeng Holy Land.

This is because in ancient times, a powerful being divided the universe into two, separating the spiritual world and the world of cultivation. Spiritual energy gathers in the world of cultivation, and many major sects have settled in the spiritual world. In the beginning, there were still people guarding the Yunmeng Holy Land. However, as the spiritual energy in the cultivation world decreased, the ancient Taoist temple built by the ancestors of the Yunmeng Holy Land could no longer be maintained in the cultivation world. Finally, he had to sink into the void to save his energy. Only when each generation of Holy Sons achieves Yin and Yang will they come here and summon it out with the Yunmeng Seal. With each additional seal, you can summon more power from Yunmeng Ancient Lake. With the Nine Seals in hand, you can go straight into the ninth floor of the ancient tower and arrive at the Yunmeng Terrace. And everything went just as Xiao Yunqi had expected, very smoothly. This ancient Yunmeng Lake, which has existed since ancient times, fell into the present world under the pull of the power of the Yunmeng Nine Seals. He used it to go straight into the ninth floor of the ancient tower and used the power of the Yunmeng Terrace to open the Zhoutian Star Array! (End of this chapter)
