Chapter 431 Darkness

"That's right. Haha, given the status of your Ziwei Chen family, you are still a little short of negotiating a deal with me, the Great Luo Saint."

Chen Zhixing: “???”

"But they still have countermeasures, but they are not very effective against me. After all, those old guys in the Holy Land have been nagging me for thousands of years. I am not afraid that they will have another reason to nag me."

Chen Daoyan: “.”

The grandfather and grandson looked at Master Yi Miao, who was squatting next to the fire and looking at them expectantly, and their hearts were filled with thunder and lightning.

Why is this person back out of the blue?

Subconsciously, Chen Daoyan gave Chen Zhaosheng a wink.

"I'll find a chance to hold her back, you run away."

Chen Zhixing blinked and pretended not to see it.

Escape? Where to escape? The noble families of the world secretly have an alliance and a tacit understanding to fight against the three holy places, but if a being like Yi Miao Zhen Jun really wants to kill someone, then there is no doubt that this person is dead, and no one can stop him.

Chen Zhixing never thought of taking the opportunity to escape into Ziwei Mountain, and then activate the Ziwei Dharma Body to counter Yi Miao Zhenjun.

On the one hand, the starlight in Ziwei Heng was consumed last time, and now it is not enough to open it a second time. On the other hand, even if Ziwei Heng can protect him this time, what should he do next time? Is he really going to close the mountain for a hundred years?

Then the Chen family will basically have no chance of participating in the next Star Palace plan.

At least not the one on land.

For Chen Zhixing himself, it may even affect his becoming the leader of the Xingjun sect.

This is something Chen Zhixing was unwilling to accept.

The above thought flashed through his mind in just a blink of an eye. In the eyes of Master Yi Miao, after Chen Zhixing was glanced at by Chen Daoyan, he calmly used a knife to cut a few slices of rabbit leg meat from the fire rack and handed them to her.

"Would you like some? It tastes pretty good."

Master Yi Miao’s eyes lit up.

Taking the silver plate of rabbit meat from Chen Zhixing, the Daluo Saint Lord took out a pair of chopsticks from somewhere, picked up a piece of rabbit meat and put it into her mouth, chewing while squinting her beautiful eyes.

"Hmm, your cooking skills are pretty good, little guy. Well, if you can't make it in the future, you can consider opening a barbecue restaurant in the Central Region. I will go there often."

"You are joking."

"No, I'm serious. Well, listen to me. Your Chen family has chosen to open the way of the Star Lord. This is a good thing for other cultivators, but not for you."

It seemed that the rabbit meat roasted by Chen Zhixing was really delicious, or maybe Master Yi Miao was just looking for an excuse to talk: "As a Primal Chaos Body, you gave up the Ten Thousand Laws River and chose the Star Lord Path. In the long run, you plan to become the master of one of the paths. Don't deny it. Your ancestor Chen Changfeng and I are acquaintances. When he made this plan, he even went to the Zuowang Mountain to show it to me. I was the one who helped you build the 'Six Realms, All Heavens, Stars, and the Central Sky Ziwei Great Emperor'."

"Well"

"I told him at the time that it is not an easy thing to create a unique lineage and be honored as the ancestor. The waters of gold are very deep. If he wants to create a unique lineage for his descendants, the best result will be that he will be sidelined by the three holy places. Then, after becoming a Taoist master of Xingjun, some unlucky and talented person among his descendants will be driven crazy by the weakness of gradually losing power, and finally turn from a Taoist master into a Taoist evil, and then be killed by his Taoist master. It would be quite miserable. Instead of being this Taoist master, you might as well come back with me to Zuowang and be a cook."

This was said by Master Yi Miao without any politeness.

As a big boss who controls the seven sequences of gold nature, even if she is not the leader of a lineage, when her life is over and she turns into gold nature, she will be a giant in the spiritual world. By then, even the leader of the way of space will have to divide some of his power to her. By then, she will be able to arrange for several safe gold natures.

Cook, pet, coachman, and food reserves.

This is the team that Master Yi Miao intends to prepare when she goes to the spiritual world. She has been selecting candidates in the mortal world since the last hundred years. Now she has a coachman, but the other three positions are still vacant.

Yi Miao Zhenjun felt that Chen Zhixing was suitable for the roles of a pet and food reserve. If he could also have the skills of a chef, he would be the perfect candidate.

"It's okay. I think the things that Changfeng Patriarch left behind are...

"Don't think so. You are only in your twenties. Do you think your intelligence and experience can beat those old guys who have lived for tens of thousands of years?"

As if for the sake of the former 'little drunkard', Master Yi Miao spoke freely: "Let's not talk about whether you can really become the master of a path. Even if you really do become one, the first thing you will have to face is not the pressure from the younger generations who practice the path of star master you created, but you will need to use your own gold nature to protect your path of star master in the spirit world.

Well, your Chen family should have records about the spirit world, I remember I talked about it with the drunkard."

“.”

There was a gleam of ignorance in the clear eyes of the grandfather and grandson.

Upon seeing this, Master Yi Miao slapped his forehead speechlessly.

"The Spirit Realm is the core of the Profound Heaven Realm, the place where all things flow back to their origin. It is also the place that controls the coordinates of the Profound Heaven Realm and the Star Realm. It is a place where all those who have achieved immortality will go after their life span is exhausted. Of course, there are exceptions like your ancestor Chen Changfeng, who is in the immortal realm. He was eaten up by others when he was alive, and there is no place for him in the Spirit Realm."

“.”

Eat it all?

Chen Daoyan's body trembled when he heard this, and he didn't know what he was thinking of.

Chen Zhixing continued to maintain his clear and stupid gaze, expecting Master Yi Miao to continue speaking.

Master Yi Miao did not let him wait in vain. After eating a few slices of rabbit meat on the silver plate, he said nonchalantly: "It means exactly what it says. As for cultivators, they have been accumulating their essence since the Zhenwu realm. When they reach the Nirvana realm, they have already put part of themselves into the spirit world. So after the body dies in the human world, they can still use part of themselves in the spirit world to restore the body.

You have all reached the pinnacle, and you should have realized that this kind of recovery consumes your foundation.

Not only that, the normal lifespan of a cultivator is only a thousand years, which is already the limit of the physical body. Every extra day you live in the pinnacle realm is actually consuming this foundation.

Of course, this consumption is not that great. Normally, a person in the Supreme Realm can live for 1,800 to 1,900 years by consuming this foundation. If he can break through to the Immortal Realm during this period, the life span can be extended further.”

At this point, Master Yi Miao seemed to have thought of something. He did not choose to use other people as examples, but continued to use Chen Changfeng, the ancestor of the Chen family, as an example and said: "And your ancestor, Chen Changfeng, that little drunkard, had a bad fate. He picked up a book on the Five Elements Qi Gathering Method from somewhere and started practicing it on his own. Then, he had good talent and really made some progress in his practice.

As a result, I was targeted.

It took him less than five hundred years to cultivate from the Zhenwu Realm to the Changsheng Realm. This was certainly due to his good talent, but more importantly, he was a piece of food that others valued.

After achieving immortality, if you use other people’s things, you naturally have to return them.

If I remember correctly, he should have lived to be 2,880 years old, right?"

"Yes, the family member did pass away at the age of 2,880." Chen Daoyan replied with gritted teeth, but the result was another sentence that made him feel despair.

Then Master Yi Miao nodded with regret: "It was not easy for him. He was eaten by others for 2,300 years before he was eaten to death. During the last period of time, I guess only an empty shell was left."

Chen Daoyan was silent.

He began to recall some secrets recorded in the clan, as well as some things that his ancestor Tianyuan had told him.

'My father, your ancestor, was irritable and depressed in his later years. Although the three holy places passed down secret methods to suppress the gold nature, in the eyes of his son, he was worse off dead than alive at that time. In the last few days of the old man's life, his mental state became abnormal, almost like madness.

Although he behaved very normally most of the time and could occasionally give us advice on some problems in our practice, the few times he went crazy gave us all a scare.

He destroyed our family's skills several times, saying that there were problems with our skills. He did not allow us to continue practicing, and he personally destroyed my eldest brother's skills, who was already at the fifth level of the pinnacle. But there are only so many skills in the world. If we don't practice the Five Elements Qi Gathering Method, what else can we practice? '

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The reason why Chen Daoyan remembered this incident clearly was because he remembered the expression of Patriarch Tianyuan at that time. It was the first time that he saw a mixture of pain, fear, entanglement, etc. on his ancestor.

Now, after listening to Master Yi Miao's words again, Chen Daoyan finally understood the implicit meaning of Patriarch Tian Yuan's words.

Yes, there are only so many techniques in the world that can be practiced to the realm of immortality. If the Chen family does not practice the Five Elements Qi Gathering Technique, what else can they practice?

If I practice other techniques, what would the outcome be different? "Senior." Thinking of this, Chen Daoyan felt his mouth dry and his tongue parched. He had countless words in his mind that he wanted to say, but in the end he only uttered these two words.

"Hahaha, look, look quickly, I knew he would have this expression, how funny!"

Seeing that Chen Daoyan had a distraught look on his face as if his entire family had died, Yi Miao Zhenjun pointed at him and laughed so hard that he slapped his thigh, and while laughing he made Chen Zhixing look, not knowing what was so funny about it.

Uh, okay.

Chen Zhixing also found it quite funny. In a way, True Lord Yi Miao was right. He and this Taoist Daluo were really the same kind of people.

then.

As if he was very satisfied with the smile on Chen Zhixing's face, Master Yi Miao showed admiration in his eyes, and then said to Chen Daoyan:

"Cultivation is a matter of fighting against the heavens. Sometimes, even though you know there is a pit ahead, you still have to jump. Do you think that only your Chen family has guessed the trick? Almost all the noble families with direct descendants of Changsheng Zhenjun in the world know about it, but there is nothing you can do. You still have to cultivate. If you are eaten, you are eaten. Anyway, if you cannot cultivate to the realm of immortality, these things are meaningless.

As for those who have cultivated to the realm of immortality, they must fight for their own lives by their own means. You, those from immortal families, are still better off, as the first generation ancestor has filled part of your stomach, and you also have other cultivators in the clan to share the burden. As long as you don't die too many times when your cultivation is low and can reach the peak, then even if you are swallowed by the golden element after immortality, at least a part of you will remain and fall into the spiritual world, and you may even have a chance to be replenished.

But it's like those casual cultivators."

Having said that, Master Yi Miao glanced at the blue pheasant on Chen Zhixing's waist and said, "Even if you enter the spirit world directly after achieving enlightenment, you will probably end up being eaten until only a shell is left."

It was obvious that Master Yi Miao had a specific meaning in his words. He was referring to the Qingzhi Sword Immortal who had clearly attained immortality but ended up dying after only living for a thousand years.

Well, Aokiji Sword Immortal was a casual cultivator.

But, after giving up nearly two thousand years of life and impacting the spirit world with all his energy, he still ended up being eaten away until only his shell was left?

Things in the spiritual world have big appetites.

Oh, almost.

Thinking of how he was able to force back the golden energy left by the sword immortal when he was in Nirvana, Chen Zhixing happily accepted this answer.

But when he thought of this, he became a little curious.

"Senior, you have talked about the differences between independent cultivators and aristocratic families. So, are people like you who come from holy places any different?"

"Different, of course."

Yi Miao Zhen Jun said as a matter of course: "Unlike your family, the disciples of the holy land have been attacked since they have reached the Nirvana stage. Of course, the ancestors were relatively lenient because there were enough disciples. If the problem was shared by each person, it would not be too big. It can be regarded as giving some people a chance to turn things around.

In addition, with the reputation of a holy land, even if the disciples fight with others, they are rarely beaten to the point of bleeding and reborn. Well, almost anyone who can achieve immortality has a chance to enter the spirit world. As for the strength of the gold element and how long one can survive in the spirit world, it depends on one's ability."

“.”

Because the ancestor was gentle, the Changsheng Zhenjun of the holy land could live longer? Chen Daoyan, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke:

"May I ask, Senior, if Zhixing had opened up a new path like this, would he not have to be eaten up by others?"

"That's right." Yi Miao Zhen Jun smiled and nodded: "The one who opens a path is the leader of the path. Since he is the leader of the path, he must be the highest one, and naturally there is no one above him."

"Then if my Chen family changes to this path."

"It's better not to."

Master Yi Miao was still smiling, but for some reason, in Chen Daoyan's eyes, Master Yi Miao's smile seemed a little eerie.

Then, the voice of Yi Miao Zhen Jun was heard coldly: "But as the leader of a sect, you are the tiger feeder, and your duty is to share food with others. If everyone in your Ziwei Chen family practices the way of the Star Lord, wouldn't it be that Chen Zhixing would feed you to others with his own hands? Isn't it a bit too cruel for him to do so?

Besides.

The Xingjun sect has just emerged, but the people of your sect, who are supposed to worship the Five Elements Taoist Master, have rebelled against you. When the time comes, the Five Elements Taoist Master will come to trouble him in the spirit world."
