Chapter 441: The Technique is in Hand, Demon Ancestor Revealed
There was a moment of silence on the top of the Shenhuo Mountain. The only sound in everyone's ears was the roaring and boiling fire in the belly of the mountain.
There was confusion on everyone's face, and their eyes looking at Zheng Fa and Shi Nandang were filled with bewilderment.
In fact, Shi Nandang's eyes were also a little confused.
His eyes were fixed on the jade pendant on Zheng Fa's waist, and he seemed to be still studying whether the jade pendant was real or fake.
"Stone Man?" The skinny old man among the six gods finally couldn't help but ask, "Are you two...relatives?"
Shi Nandang didn't answer for a long time. His eyes were fixed on the jade pendant. After a long while, he let out a breath and didn't look at anyone else. Instead, he asked Zheng Fa, "Did you get this jade pendant from the secret realm?"
"yes."
"Who is the owner of the secret realm?"
"My surname is Lu, and my given name is Chengping."
"Cheng generation..." Shi Nandang curled his lips, "He is the 57th generation direct disciple of the Lu family. I didn't expect that he actually left behind a legacy, and you got it."
The skinny old man listened to the two people talking and finally understood.
"Master, what you mean is that Li Hao...is considered a member of the Saint Clan?"
Shi Nandang didn't say anything, but just opened his palm upwards and took out a jade pendant. The style of the jade pendant was the same as the one on Zheng Fa's waist, but the pattern on the surface was slightly different.
"Every direct descendant of the Lu clan has such a jade pendant."
The skinny god finally understood at this moment why Shi Nandang called Zheng Fa "grandfather uncle" as soon as they met.
The three clans of Haori Mountain are powerful and have their own rules. The family attaches great importance to seniority. Even people from other families must be divided into senior and junior according to the status of their master.
Although generation is not enough to decide everything, etiquette is extremely important in the clan. Otherwise, people will inevitably become divided and there will be resentment among the superiors and subordinates.
And this Li Hao actually inherited the legacy of a previous direct disciple of the surname Lu in the secret realm...
Now, judging only from their clan identities, Li Hao and Shi Nandang are actually the same—both are descendants of the direct lineage of the Lu clan.
In terms of seniority, Li Hao is two generations older.
How did he get so lucky? ...
This is not luck.
Over the past six months, with the assistance of Xiao Yuying and following Mu Qingyan's memory, the Jiushan Sect secretly explored the territory of the Baixian League and the relics that might be related to Haori Mountain.
It’s not even just the secret realm that Mu Qingyan remembers.
As one of the five sects, Haori Mountain has a long heritage. Over time, quite a few relics have been accumulated.
Even Xiao Yuying had met a few of them and had some corresponding information and treasures in her hands.
Before the rise of the Hundred Immortals Alliance, this place was also the sphere of influence of Haori Mountain. Many senior disciples of Haori Mountain would also travel here and leave behind villas or inheritances.
In total, Zheng Fa and his team searched and searched for more than ten secret places before they found the right one:
The inheritance left behind by a Nascent Soul cultivator named Lu before his death.
When he asked Mu Qingyan before, he had this plan in mind:
From the information revealed by Shi Nandang, plus the intelligence brought by Xie Qingxue and Old Han, Zheng Fa also understood the way to obtain the complete true teachings of Hao Ri Mountain - joining the three tribes.
Given the three clans' desire to control the true skills and suppress other cultivators, there is almost no other possibility.
If people from other families want to join the three clans, they can only take the direct descendants of the three clans as their teachers. For example, Shi Nandang is a direct disciple of the Lu family.
In the territory of the Hundred Immortals Alliance, the most feasible method is actually to become Shi Nandang's apprentice - although he is not a direct descendant of the clan, he seems to be highly valued. If he returns to the mountain after making meritorious deeds, he will probably be given the surname Lu.
This man had high standards. He did not seem to be satisfied with the Jindan level of cultivation that Li Hao had demonstrated before. If he wanted to become his disciple, one had to be at least in the Yuanying stage.
This is why Senior Sister Zhang guessed that Zheng Fa was looking for a place to "advance".
"I knew you and Haori Mountain were destined to be together, but I never expected..."
Shi Nandang felt the pure Nascent Soul aura of the "Chixiao Jade Book" on Zheng Fa's body, his tone was surprised, and there was still some lingering doubt.
"I also have to thank the Master for passing on the Scarlet Sky Jade Book to me, so that I can inherit it."
Shi Nandang was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized: "So that's how it is, it really is your good fortune."
Zheng Fa saw the doubt in his eyes gradually fade away, and he felt relieved. It was easy for Zheng Fa to achieve the Nascent Soul stage: he was already a Nascent Soul.
It is nothing more than using illusion and heavenly thunder to simulate a severe thunder disaster.
With his attainments in thunder magic, he has even defeated Tianzun, so this is really not a problem for him.
But the secret realm of the disciples of Haori Mountain is the key.
The path of becoming Shi Nandang's disciple and acquiring the true skills of Hao Ri Mountain seems reasonable, but in fact... it is impossible.
Not to mention how long it took Shi Nandang to obtain the surname bestowed by Haori Mountain.
Just considering the credit for refining the Xianjian Sword, Zheng Fa would never let Shi Nandang get it.
Shi Nandang is probably not worthy of the surname Lu in this life.
Therefore, Zheng Facai had to find a direct descendant of the Hao Ri Mountain to inherit and create a new identity for himself in one go.
As for seniority, I can only say...
He didn't mean it.
"This... Uncle."
"Master, please just call me Li Hao."
Zheng Fa interrupted Shi Nandang.
Although the three clans of Haori Mountain have their own particularities and pay attention to seniority, in the Xuanwei Realm, cultivation is above all else.
Zheng Fa didn’t think that the dead direct descendant of the Lu family would allow him to walk sideways in front of Shi Nandang - his master was still alive!
As expected, Shi Nandang's expression became much gentler. He looked at Zheng Fa carefully, with praise in his eyes: "You have such a solid foundation. No wonder you were able to inherit the legacy from your ancestors."
Everyone on the top of the mountain was at least a Nascent Soul. Upon hearing this, they all looked at Zheng Fa, feeling that the powerful and fiery Nascent Soul aura on him far exceeded that of an ordinary Nascent Soul in the early stages.
Shi Nandang said in a friendly tone, "Zheng Fa is very powerful, and Xian Jian is very stubborn. I was in charge of this alone before, and the pressure was very great. Now, you are also a disciple of my Lu clan, so you can help me share some of the burden."
In his words, he actually ignored the other six gods and regarded Zheng Fa, the Nascent Soul, as the second most important person on the top of the mountain.
However, the other six gods had slightly strange expressions on their faces, but no one spoke.
It can be seen that the three tribes of Haori Mountain are powerful.
Only the Ninth Elder, who had been keeping his head down, raised his head and couldn't help but look at Shi Nandang. His expression could no longer be restrained.
Want Zheng Fa to lead them to deal with Zheng Fa's Jiushan Sect? Master, you really have a good vision! Zheng Fa said modestly: "My cultivation is only at the Nascent Soul stage, so I can't say I can share the burden. Master, if you have something to do, please tell me."
Shi Nandang looked at him deeply, and the smile on his face became three times more genuine at this time.
Everyone watched this scene, and looked at Zheng Fa with amusement in their eyes, as if they were getting to know this disciple all over again.
This Li Hao has extraordinary luck. In just two years, he has emerged as a rising star, which is already eye-catching enough.
The most powerful thing is this mentality, neither arrogant nor impatient, and able to advance and retreat freely.
They could all see that because of his status, Shi Shangren treated Li Hao differently.
What's more, this boy is mature...
Regardless of whether this attitude is sincere or not, this disciple will definitely not stop here.
Shi Nandang thought for a moment, then waved to Zheng Fa and said to the three leaders of Chongxuan Sect, "You guys should leave first."
The three leaders of Chongxuan Sect looked at each other, not daring to ask more questions, and walked out of the formation side by side.
After they left, Shi Nandang glanced at the others and asked Zheng Fadao, "Did you obtain the inheritance of the Red Sky Jade Book in the secret realm?"
"Only up to the Nascent Soul stage."
Zheng Fa said honestly.
"Yes, the situation was different before. The inheritance threshold of the Scarlet Sky Jade Book is extremely high." Upon hearing this, Shi Nandang suddenly raised his finger and pointed at Zheng Fa's forehead.
Zheng Fa originally wanted to retreat, but stopped abruptly. Relying on the Fusang wood and the Yin-Yang fish jade pendant in his mind, he wanted to see what Shi Nandang was going to do.
A stream of spiritual consciousness flowed from Shi Nandang's fingertips into Zheng Fa's sea of consciousness.
The complete "Chixiao Jade Book"? Could it be that this stone is so sensible?
Just as he was about to say something, he heard Shi Nandang say:
"You can get this if you go back to Haori Mountain now. It's okay if I give it to you in advance."
"There is only one thing. This inheritance cannot be passed on to anyone other than a member of the clan. It must not be written into the jade tube, lest it be lost."
"In the Chongxuan Sect, only you can learn it. Do you understand?"
At this point, his voice became a little stern.
Zheng Fa then understood why he sent away the three Nascent Souls of the Chongxuan Sect. It was probably to avoid being seen.
He nodded to Shi Nandang, and then heard him say, "Although you have received the inheritance now, the sect now attaches great importance to the Hundred Immortals Alliance and Zheng Fa. If you can make merit in the Chongxuan Sect and return to the sect in the future, you will have the possibility of further advancement."
"Now is a time of great contention, so we should seize the opportunity."
Zheng Fa nodded slowly. He discovered that... once he became a "fellow tribe member", Shi Nandang's attitude towards him was completely different from before.
He actually gave him earnest advice, and every word seemed to be for his own good.
As if seeing his confusion, Shi Nandang chuckled: "We are all disciples of the Holy Ancestor, and we are one."
When Zheng Fa went down the mountain, he was still thinking about the look on Shi Nandang's face when he said this - it seemed that Shi Nandang's sense of identity with his tribe was much stronger than he had imagined.
Watching Zheng Fa walk out of the formation, the skinny old man couldn't help but sigh: "Master, you really do your best for this fellow tribesman."
"I have tried my best, indeed." Shi Nandang smiled, but his tone showed no joy or anger. "The Holy Ancestor has released the inheritance of the skills. This is a great trend, and no one can stop it. Don't you understand?"
The old man was stunned, and suddenly he reacted.
"Master... do you have doubts about Li Hao?"
Shi Nandang shook his head, seeming unsure: "Not only is his aura pure, but I just tested his body and soul and could not find any problems. I just... feel it's strange, this boy is gaining momentum too quickly."
"...a person of great luck?"
"Perhaps so. However, whether Li Hao has great luck or secrets, as long as he practices the Scarlet Sky Jade Book, he will be in the hands of the Saint Ancestor."
"If he is really a talent, it will naturally be a good thing for the clan. Not only will the Holy Ancestor have one more talent under his command, but after he returns to the mountain, he may also be a help to me..."
"If he has bad intentions and covets the Scarlet Sky Jade Book, I can't see it, but the Holy Ancestor can always see something fishy. He won't be able to make any waves in the future, and he may even be seeking his own death."
After hearing this, the other six gods finally understood why Shi Nandang was so generous.
…
Zheng Fa brought the "Chixiao Jade Book" out of Shenhuo Mountain and headed straight for the Nine Mountains Realm.
As soon as he entered the Nine Mountains Realm, the Nascent Soul aura of the "Chixiao Jade Book" on his body completely disappeared, and there was no longer any characteristic of the Haori Mountain technique.
"Senior sister! Give me a jade tube!"
Senior Sister Zhang took out a blank jade tube and handed it to him.
"Give!"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"What?"
"The complete version of the Scarlet Sky Jade Book."
“So soon?”
Senior Sister Zhang was a little surprised.
Zheng Fa also understood Shi Nandang's idea at this moment: "This is a true martial art that is not afraid of people practicing it."
After practicing "Chixiao Jade Book", life and death will be controlled by the Dao Fruit of Haori Mountain, which is not entirely a good thing for cultivators.
The thresholds set by the three tribes of Haori Mountain all have their own selfish motives, which does not mean that the true martial arts method is a good thing. On the contrary, this martial arts method is extremely dangerous to people with bad intentions.
"In Shi Nandang's opinion, I have already practiced the Scarlet Sky Jade Book, so I am afraid I am not a threat."
Shi Nandang’s idea was right. Without the Great Sun Fire and the “Transformations of the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends”, Zheng Fa would not dare to practice the “Chixiao Jade Book”.
Before he obtained the Great Sun True Fire, he was intimidated by the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor's skills and was only willing to refer to them.
After practicing these fundamental Dafa, I immediately became able to control myself.
Senior Sister Zhang took the jade tube, looked at it for a moment, nodded and said:
"It is indeed the complete version, with two more realms than before."
"Now it seems that the realm of Hao Rishan seems to be very similar to the Supreme Dao technique... Perhaps the Yang Shen technique is like this."
Zheng Fa has also seen this technique.
In "The Jade Book of Scarlet Sky", after the transformation into a spirit and before the Dao Fruit, there are two more realms: Yang Shen and Corpse Transmigration.
It’s exactly the same as the name of Tai Shang Dao, perhaps all four sects are like this?
Seeing that Senior Sister Zhang was immersed in the "Chixiao Jade Book", he had an idea and sent a message to Xie Qingxue of Tianhe Sect in the Jade Book of Creation.
…
Tianhe Sect, in the master's hall.
The Nine Nether Demon Ancestor became more and more unscrupulous. He stood at the door of the palace, looking at every tree and blade of grass of Tianhe Sect outside the door, wondering what he was thinking.
"I watch it every day, but I don't know what's good about it."
Sect Leader Yan asked.
"Heh..." The Nine Nether Demon Ancestor did not answer him, but just chuckled and said, "Your eldest disciple is here again."
Sect Leader Yan opened his eyes and sighed, "Has Zheng Fa not given up? Doesn't he understand that he can't get the true skills of Hao Ri Mountain..."
Jiuyou Demon Ancestor looked at him with a half-smile: "Have you tried it?"
Sect Master Yan nodded: "This is a matter of life and death, how can I not give it a try? I thought, now apart from my Tianhe Sect, the four other sects are spreading the Daoguo technique... maybe I can really get a few copies."
The Nine Nether Demon Ancestor glanced at him and sneered, "How can it be that simple?"
"I thought it was too simple. I just thought that no matter which sect's true martial arts were, they would be of great benefit to us. I went out a few times a few days ago just to see if there was any opportunity."
The Nine Nether Demon Ancestor shook his head and said, "None of the four sects' Dao Fruits are stupid. Those who can obtain the complete inheritance are all cultivators who have already practiced their fundamental Dafa."
Sect Master Yan nodded when he heard this: "They are not afraid of the true skills being leaked..."
This is a dead end.
Even if the person who inherits the martial arts has ulterior motives at first, after practicing the corresponding martial arts, he will share the same fate as the Taoist cultivator behind the martial arts.
It is even possible that they may be controlled by Daoguo monks.
There's no going back.
As he was thinking about it, he suddenly felt something strange and couldn't help but look at the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor.
"Why do you know so much about this, Mozu?"
“…”
"Have you tried it, too?"
The Nine Nether Demon Ancestor’s face turned dark.
Sect Leader Yan's thoughts raced like lightning, and he suddenly understood.
The Nine Nether Demon Ancestor in front of him was the most secretive and best at hiding in the Xuanwei Realm, with many hidden tricks.
If you want to obtain the true skills of the four sects, this Demon Ancestor knows more methods than me!
He had already tried it when he had the chance, not to mention the other party! The Nine Nether Demon Ancestor said with hatred, "My hidden men who stayed in the four sects, after practicing their true skills, were either discovered and killed, or had second thoughts. Although I was a little defensive, they should have guessed my identity."
Xie Qingxue's figure appeared at the end of the distant path.
"I didn't expect that even the Demon Ancestor suffered a loss. Then I'll let my disciple persuade Zheng Fa." Sect Leader Yan frowned and said, "lest he not only fail to obtain the skills, but also reveal his true colors."
Seeing that the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor did not move, he smiled and said, "Why, you also want to meet my disciple?"
The Nine Nether Demon Ancestor laughed and said proudly: "See? Even if I stand in front of her, can she see me?"
Upon hearing this, Sect Leader Yan was also speechless.
Although the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor spoke in a very arrogant tone, it must be said that his hidden methods were extremely profound.
This person has been wandering around the Tianhe Sect for who knows how long, and no one has noticed him.
"Even those Dao Fruit cultivators of the four sects know of my existence, but who can find my whereabouts?"
The Nine Nether Demon Ancestor laughed and stood behind Sect Leader Yan, watching Xie Qingxue walk into the hall.
Sure enough, Xie Qingxue glanced around the hall and didn't see him at all.
"Greetings, Master."
Sect Leader Yan nodded, looked at Xie Qingxue, and asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
"I would like to ask Master to teach me the true skills of Xianxian lineage."
"..." Sect Leader Yan frowned and said helplessly, "Didn't I say that unless..."
"...Junior brother got the Scarlet Sky Jade Book."
Sect Leader Yan’s eyes widened.
"The Scarlet Jade Book?"
"Yes, the true martial arts of Haori Mountain, the complete version, directly leading to the Dao Fruit."
Xie Qingxue’s meaning is concise and to the point.
Sect Leader Yan's expression was stiff. He wanted to turn back, but held back, not wanting to expose the existence of the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor.
But he held it in.
The Nine Nether Demon Ancestor couldn't hold it back.
An aura that was completely different from the Tianhe School's martial arts flashed in the hall.
Although it was only a moment, Xie Qingxue was very powerful and naturally sensed it.
"who!"
She said sternly, holding the Qingping Sword and pointing it directly behind Sect Leader Yan.
Sect Leader Yan slowly turned his head and looked at the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor who appeared helplessly.
“…”
Didn’t you say that your method of hiding is unparalleled in the world and even Daoguo cannot discover it?
Is this a revelation? "Demon Ancestor?"
Xie Qingxue had also worked with the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor before, and was very familiar with his aura, so she recognized his identity at once.
She glanced at Sect Leader Yan, her mind a mess.
The Five Sects have always been incompatible with the Demon Ancestor.
The covenant of the six sects had a clear stipulation in advance: the six sects would unite to fight against the Demon Ancestor, and anyone who violated the covenant would be attacked by the whole world.
Seeing the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor in the main hall of the Tianhe Sect was really beyond Xie Qingxue's expectations.
Moreover, she knew a secret unknown to others: when the six sects met, her own master wanted to spy on Zheng Fa's true strength and was injured by Zheng Fa. In fact, it was the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor who did it.
It was a very cruel move.
Not only are the Master and the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor not friends, they also have an old grudge against each other.
Unexpectedly, the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor was even more surprised than her:
"You mean, Zheng Fa got the complete version of the Scarlet Sky Jade Book?"
Xie Qingxue nodded, and then she saw the head of one of the Five Sects and the peerless demon ancestor looking at each other in silence, with particularly strange expressions.
Why does it look like... your self-esteem is hurt? (End of this chapter)
