A few days later.
A remote small country.
This country is the place chosen by Chen Luo for cultivation. This country is a mortal kingdom under the protection of Yaowang City.
There are not only immortal cultivators in the Tiannan region. Such a large number of immortal cultivators cannot be separated from the vast number of mortals. Only with a large enough base can so many immortal cultivators with spiritual roots be born.
There are not only clouds in the world, but also dust.
Tianmu Kingdom, Yunxiao County.
The old streets were in a dilapidated state. The bricks and stones were broken in several places, and the accumulated water after the rain was still accumulated in them. When people stepped on them, there was a "slap" sound, and muddy sewage splashed out from the cracks between the stones. Pedestrians with dirty clothes walked away cursing.
The streets are lined with ginkgo trees. Their leaves are yellow, and dry leaves fall off from time to time, landing on the ground in a golden color, which is very beautiful.
This autumn is a unique scenery of Yunxiao County.
Unlike the high and mighty world of immortal cultivation, the people of Yunxiao County live a simple and slow life. They go to restaurants to listen to storytellers telling stories about immortals. They are excited when listening, but they forget about them quickly after listening. They return to their own lives and face the daily necessities of life.
"They are like plankton, unaware of the seasons."
Yu Junyao stood by the window, looking at the noisy scene outside. After living in the mountains for a long time, she was really not used to this kind of mundane noise. If she hadn't followed Chen Luo, she would never have come to such a place in her life. Yu Junyao's parents were both immortal cultivators of the Qionghua Sect, and she was born in the clouds. Later, she was noticed by the Taixu Patriarch and accepted as a true disciple. It can be said that she rose to heaven in one step. With this kind of growth experience, she never paid attention to ordinary people in the dust under her feet.
“That’s where I came from.”
Chen Luo also felt a little emotional.
Unlike the pure cultivation in the mountains, the secular world is more about fireworks. There are practitioners in every world, but not everyone can meet these people. For ordinary people, immortal cultivators are just rumors, and that's how Tianmu Country promotes them. Except for a few princes and nobles, most ordinary people will never know what immortal cultivation is.
"Are you sure this place is suitable for cultivation?"
Yu Junyao was a little confused when her meditation was interrupted. She had just tried to practice in seclusion, but the effect was surprisingly poor. The surroundings were full of worldly energy, so it was difficult to practice Qi, not to mention practicing. The effect of forced practice was also twice the result with half the effort. A year of practice here was not as effective as a day on the mountain.
"I practice worldly Dharma, which is mainly about the state of mind."
It was impossible for Chen Luo to say that he came here to practice the "Heart Demon Sutra", so he changed his statement.
"Go back to Yaowang City and wait for me. I will come back to find you after I have mastered the worldly Dharma."
"But Master told me to do that."
Yu Junyao was a little shaken. She didn't want to stay in this place, but when she was going down the mountain, Patriarch Taixu specifically told her to protect her junior brother.
"I'll talk to my uncle."
Chen Luo interrupted Yu Junyao and said forcefully, "He showed his strength before just for peace of mind. You are not even my opponent, so what protection can you talk about?"
Seeing Chen Luo's firm attitude, Yu Junyao stopped trying to persuade him. She was indeed no match for Chen Luo.
"Senior Xuan Ji, you should go back too."
Chen Luo turned around and looked at the corner next to him. Xuanji, the Jindan of the Xuanniao tribe, was hiding on the side. He used the Jindan magic power, which could not be discovered by ordinary foundation building. However, Chen Luo's consciousness had already reached the Jindan level, and he saw through Xuanji's hiding at a glance.
".good."
Xuan Ji glanced at Chen Luo, and did not ask how Chen Luo saw through him, but left Yunxiao County with Yu Junyao. However, Xuan Ji did not really leave, he chose a nearby spiritual vein to practice, so that no matter what happened in Yunxiao County, he could rush there at the first time.
The one occupying this first-level inferior spiritual vein is a small sect called 'Qingsong Sect'. The strongest in the sect is only at the initial stage of foundation building. No one in the sect dares to say much about the arrival of Xuan Ji, a Jindan ancestor. This small sect's foundation building ancestor even gave up his cave and announced to the outside world that Xuan Ji was the supreme elder of their sect, taking advantage of the situation to develop.
Xuan Ji was too lazy to pay attention to this kind of behavior. People at different levels looked at things from different perspectives.
Chen Luo settled down in Yunxiao County.
There are two conditions for forming a pill. The first step is that the amount of spiritual power compressed in the spiritual dragon exceeds the upper limit of 100. Once it solidifies into a virtual pill, it is eligible to trigger the heavenly tribulation. The second step is to condense the seed of the pill. Spiritual power can be accumulated with time and external objects, but the formation of the pill seed must rely on talent and understanding. Many foundation-building cultivators who have practiced for a lifetime cannot figure out what the seed of the pill is before they die.
Chen Luo didn't understand either.
But it did not prevent him from using his 'invincible talent' external brain to figure it out. He had solved the biggest hurdle before forming a pill, the 'pill seed', a long time ago, and there was more than one option!
He now has four external brains in the Jindan stage, one in the Yuanying stage, and a mysterious mummy brain. With so many perspectives to comprehend together, the condensation of the Jindan seed is as simple as eating and drinking.
When he was in the mountains, Chen Luo also asked Gu He Lao Zu questions related to the realm of immortals, in order to expand the "memory" of his external brain. For Chen Luo, as long as he had enough "data", his external brain would be able to play perfectly, and the qualifications and inspirations of countless geniuses would become his "talents" on the road to immortality.
"Let's take the first step."
In the secret room, Chen Luo sat cross-legged, and the Heart Demon Technique began to operate on its own.
A grayish-white vision appeared, and all the people outside the city turned into colorful flames. The spiritual power superimposed by the Black Stone Mysticism was like a tentacle, allowing him to touch the flames outside.
Chen Luo looked around for a moment, chose a relatively close flame, and sent his spiritual sense over there.
Qionghua School.
On Tailing Peak, there was gray fog all around, jagged rocks were piled up everywhere, with yellow weeds growing out of the cracks in the rocks, making rustling sounds in the mountain breeze. A few bald birds stood on the highest strange rocks, their scarlet eyes looking around, their black beaks opening and closing, making piercing calls.
The entire fairy mountain is deserted and looks like a cemetery.
Tailing Peak is the only main peak in Qionghua Sect that has no true disciples. The Tailing Patriarch has a strange temper, and the number of disciples and elders on the peak is far less than that of the other six peaks.
There is a cave behind the stone peak. The entrance is like a natural cave. Inside, there are stalagmites and stalactites everywhere. Go all the way to the innermost cave where there is a cave full of spiritual power. In the middle, there is a spiritual pool with white steam coming out, and there are seven positions on the side.
Seven figures sat cross-legged above, and seven chains of spiritual power were withdrawn from their hands. The turbulent water in the spiritual pool in front of them gradually calmed down.
"This wave came three years earlier than the previous one, and it's rebelling against our extraction."
The voice of Patriarch Taihao sounded, and a golden sword was suspended behind him. The sword energy was like the scorching sun, enveloping him completely.
"Even if it has intelligence, it is still a beast and cannot cause any trouble. Compared to such a trivial matter, the thousand-year-old country is the big trouble." Ancestor Tai Ling mentioned this issue again.
What they had put on hold last time became more serious this time.
As a power bordering the Millennium Ancient Country, the Qionghua Sect can only deal with it unless they give up the resources in the bordering area, but in that case, the Millennium Ancient Country will intensify its encroachment, and the resources originally belonging to their Qionghua Sect will be further compressed. This situation is something that none of the Seven Patriarchs of Taixu want to see.
"That centipede is becoming more and more restless. Almost all the people in the imperial court have been eaten by it. The bones are scattered all over the ground, and nine out of ten houses are empty."
“It wants to turn into a dragon.”
"A mere centipede monster wants to ascend to heaven. I wonder where it got the courage from!"
"Elder Chen An, who was investigating the issues of the Millennium Ancient Country, lost contact three days ago. Counting the missing Elder Chen You, this is the second Jindan cultivator."
Although the seven people have different positions, their attitudes when dealing with the outside world are still very unified.
There can be internal struggles within the Qionghua Sect, but that can only be done behind closed doors. If outsiders dare to interfere, they will definitely join forces to tell the other party how the Qionghua Sect's magic sword killed the demons from the upper realm.
"How is the Thousand-Eyed Centipede on the Ten Thousand Monsters Mountain?"
Patriarch Taixu suddenly asked.
"It's still sleeping. That thing is more troublesome than the centipede monster in the thousand-year-old country." Patriarch Tai Su said calmly.
Wan Yao Mountain has always been under the control of the Qionghua Sect.
The dangers that Chen Luo and his companions encountered when crossing the domain before, from the perspective of the Qionghua Seven Ancestors, were like dust and sand, which could be ignored. Cross-domain flying boats were safe most of the time, and not everyone was like Chen Luo, with a bunch of messy poisonous insects on their bodies.
"The centipede spirit in the ancient country is strange. Could it be related to the Thousand-Eyed Centipede?"
"impossible."
Patriarch Taiyuan denied this speculation.
"Let's talk about how to deal with the centipede monster in the ancient country. It has already killed two of our elders. If we don't retaliate, it will definitely become more aggressive next time."
"No, I'll go."
The Taiqing Patriarch spoke. He was dressed in a gray robe and sat cross-legged. In front of him was a three-inch long thin sword, the blade of which was round and mellow, like a green bamboo.
"The spiritual vein at the foot of the mountain still needs your Taiqing Sword to suppress it." Patriarch Taixuan shook his head.
"I'll go. I'm the only one with some free time right now."
Taixu Patriarch Gu He took over the conversation.
In such a large sect, every ancestor has troubles to deal with. The same is true for Taixu Patriarch, but compared to the other six people, he has just finished dealing with his own affairs and is free.
"Your new disciple has not carried out a mission in such a long time. Isn't it unfair? My descendants are also working hard for the sect."
Patriarch Tai Su glanced at Gu He and said something.
No sect enjoys rights without fulfilling obligations. This is the foundation of the development of the sect. It is understandable that Tai Su Laozu started from this perspective. After all, her descendants are indeed carrying out the sect's tasks outside.
Gu He's eyes fell on the other party. When facing external enemies, they were the Seven Ancestors of Qionghua, but when it came to internal interests, their positions were different. Because of the path to incarnation, the first three peaks and the last four peaks had many disputes.
"His contribution to the mission is credited to me."
There had been several conflicts between Taixu Peak and Taisu Peak, but these disputes were only between the younger generations. When it came to the seven of them, the conflict had come to an end and would not be magnified for no reason.
"good."
Seeing Gu He say this, the others said nothing more.
It's not a particularly important thing. (End of this chapter)
