Guangxiu Immortal Sect.
“We are so lucky to be born in this world.”
Perhaps only here can one find true tranquility. Zhou Xian and others were filled with emotion, feeling that they were living in a perfect era.
There is an invincible ancestor protecting him above, and peers supporting him on both sides. There are four golden elixir masters in the family, which is the most glorious Taoist school in the world.
"After the ancestor returned, he should have devoted himself to cultivation. After that, we are in control."
Chang An did not forget that this was Chen Sheng’s “farewell” battle. After destroying the Langya Immortal Sect, he would move from light to darkness and start a state of voyeurism.
And when it is their turn to control the Guangxiu Immortal Sect, at least the two major sects, Chiling and Jiuxiao, will not sit still.
"At this point, I, the Guangxiu Immortal Sect, can say that I have nothing to fear."
Mo Longyun was extremely confident. He never thought that the Guangxiu Immortal Sect would lose. With everyone in the sect united, they were no weaker than any other sect.
"Whoosh"
At this time, the clouds parted and a free and easy figure walked out from the mountains and valleys. The battle that had just ended did not bring him any harm.
“Grandmaster…”
Zhou Xian and others watched with affectionate and admiring eyes as the ancestor walked step by step out of the void and descended before them. They felt that he was a giant holding up the sky, who could withstand all storms for them.
"Langya Immortal Sect has been destroyed, Qingping Valley has surrendered to us, and the remaining Zixi Immortal Sect is not a concern. Although Chiling and Jiuxiao Immortal Sects are strong, they are not of one mind. The overall situation is on my side."
Chen Sheng's words described a broad future, in which Zhou Xian and others could roam freely.
This is the best era for the Guangxiu Immortal Sect, and it is also the turning point of thousands of years of changes in the border areas. All glory will be unified.
Zhou Xian and others were trembling slightly. They were extremely happy and wished they could immediately throw themselves into the magnificent world and make their moves.
"This is the heritage of the Langya Immortal Sect. Take it."
Chen Sheng waved his hand, and a number of tripods and furnaces fell in front of Zhou Xian and the others. They contained the heritage of the Langya Immortal Sect, and there were all kinds of resources. Even a Jindan Zhenren could benefit from them.
After he finished explaining, he said, "Announce to the public that my blood and energy have dried up and I have passed away. I... should also take a rest..."
After he cultivated the golden elixir, he never stopped for a moment. He took over the heavy responsibility from Taoist Chongming, attacked the enemies outside and guarded the gate inside, and has lasted for more than two hundred years.
This period of time was very long for him, and it was also one of the rare times when he was busy and tired on the path of cultivation. It was time to take a break.
later……
As for the situation in the border area, let Zhou Xian and the other two stir up the situation, there should be no problem.
Mr. Chen lived in seclusion in the quiet courtyard of Zhuxia Peak. This area was directly blocked and designated as a forbidden area, and outsiders were not allowed to approach or contact it.
Outside, the situation was already boiling. When the news of Chen Sheng's passing away spread, all the cultivators were shocked. They had thought that this man would rule the border areas and be famous for the rest of his life, but they didn't expect that he would pass away at the peak of his power.
This is too unexpected. Some people don't believe it, but if you calculate the time, Chen Sheng made his debut more than 700 years ago, which is consistent with his lifespan.
Perhaps, several horrific wars have wiped out the remaining vitality of this person, making it impossible for him to stay in the world.
The expected storm did not arise, and the Jiuxiao Immortal Sect and other Jindan Zhenren were very quiet.
There was a reason for this. They remembered that after the battle at Dalong Mountain, the Guangxiu Immortal Sect had spread the rumor that Chen Sheng would not live for many more years. In the end, they managed to hold on for several decades and destroyed the Langya Immortal Sect.
It is better to be safe and wait until Chen Sheng is dead before taking action, lest this man fakes his death and drags someone else down with him when he is on the verge of death.
The young people in the border area felt as if a mountain had disappeared. They felt regretful and happy at the same time. Then they packed their bags and set out on the path of spiritual practice.
They all want to be that mountain, tall and close to the sky, for everyone to look up to.
Zhu Xiafeng.
A quiet courtyard.
This place has become a forbidden place. Even Zhou Xian and others will not set foot here unless it is necessary.
Mr. Chen sat upright on the cloud bed, half asleep, his mind at peace, yet he did not completely ignore the information from the outside world.
Sometimes, he opened his eyes, and a fascinating divine light shot out, penetrating into the void, and he saw many changes.
Sit once, a hundred years.
During this period of time, it was not all peaceful. Taoist Ruhuan from the Jiuxiao Immortal Sect went to Qingping Valley for the second time, and his intention to win over the people was very obvious.
The previous time, Zhao Mang sternly refused, but as time went by, fifty years later, when Taoist Ruhuan visited Qingping Valley for the second time, he was not so tough.
The reason is very simple. When Chen was alive, he had the support of the people and enough power to suppress disobedience.
As time went on, Zhao Mang found it increasingly difficult to cope with the situation. He was under pressure from external factors and also had to take responsibility for Qingping Valley.
The most important thing is that after that incident, he completely lost contact with Mr. Chen and could no longer communicate with him.
The Zi Xi Immortal Sect was also in distress. In the sixty-first year, the genius that had cost them countless efforts died for no reason. Dong Haiqing almost went crazy. He stared at the major sects with eyes like a wolf, and finally swallowed the bitter fruit.
During this period, Zhou Xian confronted Taoist Yan Cheng of the Chiling Immortal Sect. He failed to win, but retreated safely.
The immortal sects have their own considerations, and the numerous immortal cultivation sects in the border areas also have their own considerations.
They took Qingping Valley as their target, and many Taoist masters wanted to cultivate a Jindan Zhenren to bring glory to their sect.
If it can be done, then when you reach the underground, all your ancestors, high and low, will have to come up and pay homage to you.
"call……"
Chen Sheng opened and closed his eyes, taking in the scenes at the border. His mind was alert as he analyzed the pros and cons. Not realizing any major crisis, he closed his eyes and continued to refine his Qi.
All around him were various spiritual essences, all of which were moved from the treasury of the Langya Immortal Sect. With his breathing, they transformed into strands of spiritual energy and penetrated into his body.
There were some scattered classics on the side, which were the secret burials of the Langya Immortal Sect. Sometimes he would take a look at them.
These days, I live a peaceful life.
It can be seen that the Jiuxiao Immortal Sect and the Chiling Immortal Sect, on the surface, have an arrogant attitude towards the Guangxiu Immortal Sect and don't pay much attention to it, but in fact they are extremely wary of it.
They waited for a hundred years, just to ensure that nothing went wrong and that Chen's deadline came.
"He's dead. He won't appear again."
Jiuxiao Immortal Sect.
Taoist Ruhuan said loudly.
Up to now, Chen Sheng has been in the world for eight hundred years. Even if a Jindan Zhenren has cultivated to the great perfection of Jindan, he cannot survive in the world.
“I don’t know whether it was right or wrong to wait so long, but my heart is unexpectedly happy at this moment.”
Taoist Zhenfeng shook his head slightly, thinking that this move was overly cautious, but when he thought of Chen Sheng's battle record, he didn't feel too cautious.
After surviving such a powerful enemy, the Guangxiu Immortal Sect was like an antelope without horns, and its deterrent power was greatly reduced.
He had enough confidence to deal with Zhou Xian's three younger generations, and then continue Chen Sheng's unfinished ideal and unify the border areas.
"Has Qingping Valley agreed to attach itself?"
Thinking of this distant view, Taoist Zhenfeng felt hot in his heart. He turned his head and looked at Taoist Ruhuan, asking about the latest situation in Qingping Valley.
"That old guy was extremely cautious and didn't dare to express his opinion, but I could see that he had been shaken."
Taoist Ruhuan went to Qingping Valley twice and was treated with great courtesy, but Zhao Mang was very tight-lipped and only loosened up when Chen Sheng's death was approaching.
"Go again and bring the inheritance of Grandmaster Jia with you to show him our sincerity."
Taoist Zhenfeng laughed. Zhao Mang must have realized that without Chen Sheng in charge, the Guangxiu Immortal Sect would not be able to control them and would be in danger.
"It's too cheap for him."
Taoist Ruhuan was shocked. This gift was too important. The inheritance of Grandmaster Jia was already a systematic path to advancement to the Golden Elixir realm.
Qingping Valley already has a Jindan Zhenren. If they can obtain such a legacy, it is likely that after a hundred years of accumulation, it will be comparable to the power of an immortal sect.
"Since we have expressed our sincerity, it is time for him to show his sincerity as well."
Taoist Zhenfeng's expression changed from indifferent to stern, and he instructed: "Let him take action against Guangxiu Immortal Sect."
This gift is very big, but it is the money that costs one’s life, so it is not easy to accept.
Once Zhao Mang died, even if he had the systematic inheritance of the Golden Core, there would be no time for it to settle, and Qingping Valley would be destroyed in an instant.
The so-called Qingping Valley turning into an immortal sect is only a possibility, and it depends on their intentions.
"good……"
Taoist Ruhuan agreed.
…
Qingping Valley.
"Senior, are you still alive?"
Zhao Mang hasn't changed much from a hundred years ago, except that there's a hint of sadness between his brows.
Just because he had no news of Mr. Chen.
"I can't delay the Jiuxiao Immortal Sect for too long."
This was the reason why he felt sad. The Jiuxiao Immortal Sect’s intention was very clear. They asked him to take side and attack the Guangxiu Immortal Sect.
Of course he was unwilling, but many things do not go according to one's personal will, and he also carried a lot of things on his shoulders.
"In another hundred years, I will also pass away. During this period of time, if no one in Qingping Valley achieves the status of a Golden Core True Person, the sect's only chance for transformation will disappear."
The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable Zhao Mang felt. He stood at the most glorious peak in the history of Qingping Valley, but as a member of a first-class Taoist sect, he had entered the level of the Immortal Sect. There was no one around him, no one to help him, and he had to do everything by himself.
It’s too difficult…
"Grandmaster, I have reached the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment Stage."
A young man's voice briefly dispelled the sadness between Zhao Mang's brows. He saw his descendant Zhao Yunting, who was full of vigor and energy, and couldn't help but feel happy. He said, "I will give you another forty years. If you cultivate the foundation-building realm to perfection, you can strive for the golden elixir realm."
These words were more of an encouragement. Without the opportunity, Zhao Yunting would be trapped and die in the realm of great perfection of the foundation-building stage.
His turning point back then was the Qianyuan Dragon-Tiger Pill, which came from the Guangxiu Immortal Sect. In other words, without the help of an immortal sect, it would be nearly impossible for him to break through the Golden Core Realm barrier with his own talent.
"If I can achieve the status of a Golden Core True Person, then I will definitely keep Qing Ping Valley prosperous."
Zhao Yunting has not reached the end of the Foundation Establishment Stage, and with the support of a Golden Elixir Master, he feels that he has some confidence in continuing the glory of Qingping Valley.
Zhao Mang nodded, but he became more worried in his heart. There was no one to succeed him and the road ahead was bleak.
“Buzz…”
At this time, a terrifying aura emerged from the mountain gate of Qingping Valley, spanning the sky, ignoring the mountain gate formation as if it were nothing, and hovered over the place where Zhao Mang was meditating.
"Daoist Ruhuan of Jiuxiao Immortal Sect pays homage to Daoist Zhao Mang."
When Taoist Ruhuan arrived, he gave Zhao Mang some respect and did not barge in. After all, this was a Taoist sect ruled by a Jindan Zhenren, so he should not be too oppressive.
"Daoyou, come in."
Zhao Mang's eyes fell from the mountain and saw the figure. A hint of discomfort flashed in his eyes. He wanted to refuse, but obviously couldn't. After a moment, he calmed down his emotions and let him in.
Then, Taoist Ruhuan walked in, stepped on the sky, and came to Zhao Mang in two or three steps.
He saw Zhao Yunting and said, "This is the genius of your Qingping Valley, right?"
He spoke lightly, as if he didn't take it seriously. It was true that he had seen too many geniuses, and none of them could become a Golden Elixir True Person, so they would not be considered mainstream after all.
"Greetings, Senior."
Zhao Yunting did not dare to be negligent. He could not ignore the glance of a Jindan Zhenren. No matter what his position was, he had to at least remain respectful.
"His aptitude is not bad, but his hope of becoming a Golden Core True Person is slim."
Taoist Ruhuan rarely nodded towards Zhao Yunting, but there was not much gentleness in his words. Instead, they were very cold, like a knife.
"Senior, why?"
Zhao Yunting was anxious and asked hurriedly without caring about the inside or outside.
"Your ancestor is the first Jindan Zhenren since the founding of Qingping Valley. He had no foundation, but he created a systematic Jindan advancement path from nothing. Ask him if he has time to understand all the obstacles."
Taoist Ruhuan spoke slowly, it was rumored in the border areas that there was a Golden Elixir Master in charge, and that was the Taoist lineage of the Immortal Sect, but there was another layer that no one knew about. Every thousand years in the border areas, there would be an individual who cultivated to become a Golden Elixir, but they did not leave behind the Taoist lineage of the Immortal Sect.
Why?
It’s because of those people that they are unable to train a successor to the Jindan Zhenren realm.
When they achieved the golden elixir, they were still in a daze, so how could they pass on any experience to the younger generation?
"Why are you telling this to the juniors?"
Zhao Mang said in a deep voice.
"That is, what he said is true."
Zhao Yunting knew this master quite well and knew that since the other party did not refute it, it must be true.
For a moment, his heart felt a little cold. Although he was not in despair, his confidence was greatly reduced.
“It’s not something that can’t be made up for.”
Seeing that the time was almost right, Taoist Ruhuan finally revealed his true colors. He said so much not to undermine the confidence of a junior, but to make Zhao Mang face reality.
"What did you say?"
At this moment, Zhao Yunting was startled, but Zhao Mang was even more anxious than him. His eyes shone brightly and looked at Taoist Ruhuan with a searching look.
The latter did not keep the secret and took out a jade slip, saying: "This is the inheritance of my Jiuxiao Xianzong's founder Jia Sidao. I can give it to you."
Although the item is small, it is as heavy as Mount Tai and is the dream of countless monks in the border areas.
"call……"
Zhao Mang's expression changed drastically, and he stared at the jade slip with burning eyes. Jia Sidao was a powerful Jindan Zhenren who had passed away from the Jiuxiao Xianzong. His inheritance was of immeasurable value.
Moreover, the systematic path to advancement to the Golden Core stage is something Qingping Valley cannot refuse.
He exerted great willpower to suppress his inner emotions, and his heart gradually became as clear as water, able to reflect everything.
"What's the price?"
A sentence.
The atmosphere in the temple on the mountain suddenly became solemn.
