Chapter 492 The Origin of the Five Elders Society
"Hurry up! Stop looking around!"
Wanxian Island was almost razed to the ground, and the group of monks from the Five Elders Association began to dig underground.
Li Fan wanted to take another look, but was scolded by the armored monk and forcibly moved away.
Several teams of armored monks formed a magic circle and chased the members of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance like a flock of sheep to a small cave at the bottom of the canyon.
There were gusts of evil wind at the entrance of the cave, and it seemed to exude an eerie and terrifying atmosphere.
"Go in! What are you waiting for?"
The leading armored monk slammed the weapon in his hand into the ground and shouted like thunder.
There were some people in the crowd who looked indignant. They looked at each other and seemed to be secretly discussing how to resist.
However, the situation was stronger than the people, and after hesitating for a while, they finally surrendered.
They walked into the dark cave one by one.
Li Fan was just a borrowed puppet body, so naturally he didn't have much fear.
However, in order to avoid being conspicuous and live longer, he pretended to be extremely frightened and followed the crowd.
As soon as I stepped into the cave, the light disappeared from my sight.
The next moment, a scene completely different from what they had expected appeared before everyone's eyes.
It was not a winding and dark passage inside the mountain, but it inexplicably appeared in a green valley.
In the distance, a wooden attic seems to be visible.
Dozens of people were sitting on the ground in front of the attic, listening to what a monk who looked like a scholar was saying.
Seeing that they did not seem to be subject to interrogation or torture, the monks of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, who had been ready to resist, became obedient again.
Decided to look at the specific situation first and then act accordingly.
Under the escort of the armored monks, everyone slowly approached the attic.
Li Fan, who was hiding among the crowd, was keenly aware of some changes happening in his body during this process, and his face changed slightly.
It turned out that as they got closer to the Attic Scholar, their bodies seemed to be getting smaller.
This change was limited to the detained members of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance; the armored monks, scholars, and even the scenery in the surrounding valleys remained unchanged.
So although their speed of advancement did not decrease, they seemed to be getting further and further away from their goal.
This unusual scene caused a slight commotion among the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, but it was quickly suppressed.
"Hurry up!"
In their eyes, the armored monk's body had swelled to the size of a small mountain.
There was no mercy at all, and he kept urging me.
It was the first time that the members of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance looked at people from the perspective of a true ant, and it was difficult for them to remain calm.
His face gradually turned pale, and he subconsciously obeyed the orders of the armored monks.
As it continued to move forward, its size continued to shrink.
After spending nearly ten days, everyone finally arrived in front of the attic.
In their eyes, scholars are like mountains, supporting the sky and the earth.
"Please sit down." The scholar said gently.
But to everyone's ears, it sounded like the sound of a huge bell, filling the heaven and earth.
It kept echoing in their hearts.
It seemed to reach deep into the soul. Even if everyone blocked their self-perception, they still could not stop hearing the scholar's words in their minds.
Then they all lost control of their bodies and sat on the ground obediently.
"What kind of magical power is this?"
Everyone was shocked.
The armored monks bowed to the scholar, and then quietly left when they saw that the members of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance had already taken their seats.
The scholar glanced at the crowd and sighed, "Another group of lost sheep."
"However, since you have come here by fate, I will not let you go astray again."
When those who considered themselves as monks of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance heard this, they were naturally dissatisfied.
"In your eyes, what do we, the Five Elders, look like?" At this moment, the scholar asked softly.
"Using soul contracts to control monks is extremely evil!"
"If they linger on for a while, they will be destroyed by the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance within a thousand years."
"Stupid and backward!"
"Although he is not a good person, he has been able to compete with our Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance for so long, so he must have some merits."
…
When the scholar asked, everyone spoke up and gave their own answers.
But the shocked expressions on their faces clearly showed that their answers at this time were not of their own initiative.
However, in response to the scholar's questioning, not all monks lost control and actively answered.
At least the puppet that Li Fan was living in was not affected.
There were also some cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage who, with frowns on their faces, resisted the scholar's manipulation.
"Isn't this a group version of the Heavenly Doctor's [Question] Technique?" Li Fan was also shocked.
“Even though the power doesn’t seem to be as strong as when the Heavenly Doctor casts it himself, it’s targeting so many people after all.”
Li Fan was on high alert, ready to abandon his puppet body at any time.
Fortunately, the scholar did not pay too much attention to Li Fan.
Everyone answered one by one.
The scholar smiled and listened attentively.
After a long time, everyone finished talking and the atmosphere outside the attic gradually became quiet.
The scholar shook his head and said, "That's totally wrong!"
"Do you know where our Five Elders Association originated from?"
Everyone shook their heads.
"After Chuan Fa Tian Zun created the new law, relying on the astonishing speed of cultivation, the scattered cultivators in the world launched an attack on the immortal sects."
"And the sect itself was also split into two factions, fighting and killing each other endlessly."
"However, before we can completely decide the winner..."
The scholar did not answer directly, but told everyone the history.
"The great catastrophe of heaven and earth is approaching, and the Dharma cannot be practiced together."
"The Xiandao sect suffered a devastating blow, and only one out of a hundred survived."
"But after all, he has ruled Xuanhuang Realm for ten thousand years, so he has a deep foundation."
"There are still some surviving sects that have escaped this disaster. They are hiding from the world, waiting for the bloody storm to pass."
"When the killing ended, the darkness disappeared. Atop the ruins, they united again."
"This is the prototype of the Five Elders Association today."
Ignoring the stunned reaction, the scholar spoke slowly.
"The dispute between the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and the Five Elders Association is actually still a dispute between the old and new forces in the field of immortal cultivation."
“All conflicts in the world are mostly caused by the oppression of those who came first against those who came later.”
“So it has continued for thousands of years and has not been interrupted.”
“It will never stop until the winner is completely determined.”
"You are in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, so it is normal for you to be deceived. I can't blame you."
The scholar showed a face full of compassion.
The monks of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance who were sitting on the ground and listening to the scholar's lecture all had shocked expressions on their faces.
Although they were already accustomed to the existence of the Five Elders Council, this was the first time they heard of its origins.
When Li Fan heard this, he was not as surprised as the other cultivators.
Senior Sister Zhao, one of the five immortals of the Five Elders Association, was the leader of the Da Dao Sect, one of the ten sects of the immortal way.
Therefore, Li Fan had long guessed that the Five Elders Council was composed of the surviving monks from the sects.
