Chapter 102: Fearsome Rumors

  The realm of the four symbols is to communicate with the four great sacred beasts, immerse your divine soul in the four symbols. Let your divine soul become familiar with the aura of the four sacred beasts, and then you can skillfully use the power of the four sacred beasts.

  Generally, a Tian Shi will only choose to communicate with one sacred beast and specialize in the power of that sacred beast. However, this is not absolute, as some people in the Four Symbol Realm are willing to spend a lot of time and energy communicating with all four sacred beasts. Nevertheless, numerous facts have proven that practicing too many things at once in the Four Symbol Realm will actually prevent one from fully utilizing the powers of the four sacred beasts.

  If things go wrong, the power of the Four Sacred Beasts may even conflict with each other, ultimately forever stuck in the realm of the Four Symbols, and never be able to break through.

  In the state of selflessness, Ji Chang's soul wandered in the sea of consciousness of the Four Sacred Beasts. Without much thought, he seemed to have established a mysterious connection with them. His body began to emanate four colors: blue, red, white, and black. Behind him, a vague image of the Four Sacred Beasts took shape.

  He didn't know how long it had been when he suddenly woke up from his state of nothingness, feeling refreshed and invigorated. His spirit seemed to have undergone some kind of transformation.

  It wasn't until now that he realized he had somehow made contact with all four of the Holy Beasts. His physical strength was still the same, but as his soul changed, the yuan energy inside his body seemed to be able to transform at any time into the aura of the Four Holy Beasts.

  She stood up, gazed at the deep night sky, and furrowed her brow in thought.

  Perhaps this is the characteristic of Tai Xu Secret Record, which emphasizes a "fusion" word. Maybe cultivating Tai Xu Secret Record is different from others, and it's necessary to fully merge with all four sacred beasts in order to enter the next realm.

  For some unknown reason, he had this idea in his mind. As soon as the idea emerged, he who had been hesitating about which Holy Beast to communicate with first suddenly felt enlightened.

  Why can't I get in touch with the Four Holy Beasts, others can't, am I really not good enough? Those who can communicate with the Four Holy Beasts may have further examples, but there are also those who can communicate with the Four Holy Beasts and still cultivate to the Five Elements Heaven Realm.

  Lay a solid foundation, and future cultivation will have more room for improvement!!

  Suddenly, he remembered a phrase that Mo Yunyi had once said, which further confirmed his decision. He planned to really communicate with the Four Sacred Beasts in the Four Symbolic Heavens and allow his divine soul to fully merge with the aura of the Four Sacred Beasts, skillfully using their power.

  After making this decision, he suddenly felt relaxed all over, and for a period of time, he walked between the mountains and ridges, heading straight to Bianjiao City. When passing through Chuyang City, he didn't stay long either, and continued north after passing through Chuyang City. After more than half a month, he finally arrived at Bianjiao City in Tianwu State.

  Bianjiao City, located in the northernmost part of Tianwu Country, near the Great Chu State.

  Although Bianjiao City is a city of the Tianwu Kingdom, within Bianjiao City, the Du family's power has surpassed that of the imperial Wu family. The Wu family also trusts the Du family very much, and in many important positions in Bianjiao City, there are shadows of the Du family everywhere.

  Some people say that Bianjiao City is the Du family's, and Ji Changkong didn't believe it before. After he entered Bianjiao City, he found that this statement was somewhat exaggerated, but also made a lot of sense.

  Inside the city, those patrolling guards were all riding ferocious beasts raised by the Du family. The guards' bodies all bore the mark of the Du family. After making a round of the city, he discovered that the citizens of this border town were extremely respectful to the passing members of the Du family. As long as someone riding a Du family beast passed by, the citizens would voluntarily give way.

  From their attitude, it can be seen that they are truly respectful of the Du family, as if they have become a member of the Du family themselves.

  This phenomenon made Ji Changkong even more cautious, and this time his target was the Du family's main base in the suburbs. He wanted to get news about his parents from the mouths of the main characters of the Du family.

  In a tavern where three teachings and nine streams were mixed together. Ji Changkong was alone, shrinking in the corner, listening to the words of those passing Hans.

  "Lishi Tian, that mad demon, has appeared on the summit of Qiyun Peak before. He's come to the Heavenly Wu State, and I'm afraid he'll be looking for trouble with the Du family again. This lunatic kills without batting an eye. For a while now, both Bianjiao City and the Du family's main stronghold won't be peaceful. Everyone should be careful."

  "Yes, Lishi Tian and the Du family didn't know why they had such a deep hatred. If it weren't for Guiyuan Zong stepping in back then, the Du family would have been slaughtered by him. He disappeared for so many years, everyone thought he was killed by Guiyuan Zong, but unexpectedly he appeared again. Alas, Bianjiao City is going to be chaotic."

  "I heard that some time ago, in the Mu Tian Forest, the Du family's ferocious beast guard was attacked, and even their leader, Du Yun Song, was killed. No need to think about it, it must be the work of Li Hen Tian Xia!"

  "This madman is really formidable, it's said that with his appearance, the heretics of Manichaeism were driven out of Tianwu Country. Who knows why this brutal man suddenly thought of finding trouble for the Manichaean heretics? Ah, if only he could kill them off in mutual destruction... Now he must have arrived at our Bianjiao City, look at how cautious the Du family is being, and the number of guards within our city has clearly increased."

  Li Hen Tian is a ruthless killer. He has arrived at Bianjiao City, and not only will the Du family suffer, but also those from the Tiandong Sect near Yindragon Spring are likely to be unlucky as well. Everyone should be careful, if you see any suspicious individuals, report them to the authorities immediately. The Du family has raised so many ferocious beasts for our Tianwu Kingdom, and without their existence, we wouldn't be able to withstand the Western tribes' armies. Therefore, we absolutely cannot let that evil person do as he pleases in the Du family.

  “”

  In the noisy tavern, the most talked about was Lishen Tian. These people from the Wu State spoke of Lishen Tian with gritted teeth, as if they couldn't wait for him to die soon. Ji Changkong's anger burned in his belly, and if he didn't want to reveal his identity, he might have taken action against these people right there in the tavern.

  Most people are ignorant, these people living in the corner of the city tied their own interests with the Du family, naturally making Li Kuang Yan an enemy. If he really caused trouble in the corner of the city, probably everyone in the city would search for him to provide information for the Du family.

  "What's the unresolvable hatred between this friend, Du Jia and Li Hen Tian? Why does that vicious person always come to Bianjiao City to cause trouble for the Du family?" Ji Changkong suddenly asked loudly from the corner.

  That garrulous middle-aged man was not a formidable task for a cultivator of the Heavenly Path. His speech was at its peak, and when he saw someone asking questions, he couldn't help but glance at Ji Changkong, then cleared his throat and explained: "Lishi Tian was originally a traitor of the Qiankun Sect, but before that, he was a ruthless villain who did all sorts of evil. After being taken in by the ancient Dingzong master, he settled down. Later, after betraying the Qiankun Sect, he became even more vicious and started wreaking havoc everywhere. It seemed like he had his eyes on something in the Du family and asked them for it, but when they refused, he went on a killing spree at the Du family's place."

  This person has been extremely sarcastic towards Lishi Tian, portraying him as a heinous demon, while praising the Du family and distorting facts, without a single true word.

  Frowning, Ji Changkong endured the urge to scold him, listening to his nonsense speech, becoming increasingly impatient. If this person weren't an ordinary person who didn't cultivate the Way of Heaven, he would have wanted to take action and teach him a lesson.

  "Du's family, Du's family isn't a good person either. I think Lishi Tian is the one who was wronged and suffered. Back then, the Nan Yi envoy invaded our Yunshui country. Lishi Tian, as the top master of Tianshan, came to help and killed more than half of the Nan Yi masters on Xueyu Mountain, saving Yunshui country from the invasion of the Nan Yi people."

  "All these years, I haven't really heard of Lishi Tian doing anything extremely evil. The only thing is his feud with the Du family. Hmm, I just can't figure out why Lishi Tian doesn't go bother someone else and instead insists on not getting along with the Du family. What secrets are hidden behind this, and how many people understand?"

  A burly man with a thick beard and disheveled hair, wearing a blue robe, drinking wine while sneering coldly.

  "Who are you? What nonsense are you spouting? In the border town, you dare to frame the Du family for no reason. You must be a vicious person like Li Hen Tian. Everyone quickly report to the authorities, maybe he's a spy sent by Li Hen Tian!" The people drinking in the tavern pointed at the disheveled blue-clad big man and scolded him.

  "Hmph! The Du family's control over the border town is indeed extraordinary, you ignorant people can only be controlled by others, without any discernment." The blue-robed man stood up impatiently, drained the wine in his cup, tossed a silver ingot on the table, and turned to leave.

  When he reached Ji Changkong's table, the big man in blue clothes frowned and looked at Ji Changkong for a moment before sauntering away.

  "Who just spoke ill of the Du family?" A Du family guard, carrying a long spear and riding a sword-toothed rhinoceros, hastily approached, scanning the crowd with a haughty gaze.

  "It's that guy in blue, he hasn't gone far yet." Someone inside the tavern hurriedly pointed ahead and added, "This guy actually helped Lishi Tian that vicious man speak, Officer, he must be a scout for Lishi Tian that vicious man, we must catch him."

  That Du family guard nodded, patted the giant rhino's head, and suddenly shouted loudly on the long street: "Friends in front, stop!"

  "Damn it, how annoying. Even speaking the truth needs to be controlled. The Du family is getting more and more overbearing! They really think they're the leader of the seven major families!" The blue-clothed big man in front looked impatient, turned his head and glared at the hastily arriving Du family guard, scolding: "Little rabbit, are you calling me?"

  "Seeking death!" A certain Du family guard shouted loudly and suddenly yelled: "Brothers, take down this evil person!"

  Ji Changkong suddenly stood up and hastily followed him out, gazing from afar at the blue-robed man. Although this person's face had changed somewhat, the aura on his body made Ji Changkong feel a strong resemblance to Tuoba Lie. And as for Tuoba Lie's relationship with Li Hen Tian, Ji Changkong was well aware of it.
