Chapter 857: Earning Magical Powers with Clever Words
Ji Shaoli said calmly: "If my guess is correct, the treasures that each person can obtain from this fishing pond are relatively independent and do not affect each other. In other words, you and I do not have a life-and-death competition relationship. This is one reason."
"Besides, we all have a common demand. That is, the fewer monks know the secret of this fishing pond, the better. Fellow Daoist Zhong, do you think that with your strength alone, you can keep this secret?"
"Today I can find the abnormality here. One day, other monks will also find it. Can you stop them?"
Ji Shaoli stared at Zhong Shentong and asked bluntly.
Zhong Shentong could only remain silent.
“But with our help, the risk of being discovered by other cultivators can be greatly reduced. It is even possible to possess this treasure forever!” Ji Shaoli said with a smile.
"We?" Zhong Shentong's face finally changed.
After hesitating for a long time, he put away the purple gold gourd in his hand and said helplessly: "Daoyou, please come down and talk."
At this moment, the sense of crisis that lingered in Ji Shaoli's mind completely disappeared.
"Brother Daoist Zhong, was this purple gold gourd also fished out from the fishing pond?" Ji Shaoli asked with his eyes flashing.
But he didn't get close.
Zhong Shentong sneered and said, "I have been guarding this fishing platform for most of my life, and I have only caught this treasure."
"The Hunyuan Purple Gold Gourd is of purple quality. I don't know which world of immortal cultivation created it. It contains the Hunyuan Qi. In a moment, the Hunyuan Qi can be transformed into a flying knife to defend against the enemy. It is said that even a cultivator who has reached the state of incarnation can be killed in an instant. It's a pity..."
Zhong Shentong shook his head slightly: "This is only in other immortal cultivation worlds. In our Xuanhuang world, cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage live in the heaven and earth. As long as the heaven and earth are not destroyed, the cultivators will not die. This Hunyuan Purple Gold Gourd is not that powerful."
These words revealed the reason why he did not choose to take action easily.
With the power of many protective treasures, the aura exuded by Ji Shaoli has far exceeded the scope of a Jindan cultivator.
Zhong Shentong was unsure of his true ability and did not have the confidence to kill him with one strike.
I also heard that there might be an organization behind Ji Shaoli, so I had to give up.
"How many years has it been since Brother Zhong discovered the mystery of this fishing pond?" At this time, Ji Shaoli finally flew down from the clouds.
A trace of memory flashed in Zhong Shentong's eyes: "I don't remember it very clearly. That was when I was still young. Time flies..."
Ji Shaoli looked calmly at the Taoist boy Liuli who had been protected by Zhong Shentong behind him.
Like a porcelain doll, with delicate features.
He was wearing a loose Taoist robe and at first glance, it was hard to tell his gender.
Liuli stuck her head out at this moment, and there was not much fear in her eyes.
He just glared at Ji Shaoli angrily.
"This little doll..."
Zhong Shentong said with a fake smile: "He is just an adopted mortal orphan..."
At this moment, Liuli's eyes widened, and she looked up at Zhong Shentong in shock: "Master, didn't you say that I was also fished out of this pond..."
“Woo woo…”
Before he could finish his words, Zhong Shentong covered his mouth in regret.
"Hahahaha." Ji Shaoli laughed loudly towards the sky, and then suddenly stopped.
He looked at Zhong Shentong with a murderous look on his face: "If Daoist Zhong insists on doing this, don't blame me for being merciless."
“Lin Ling!”
Liuli also knew that she had caused trouble and stopped struggling.
Zhong Shentong did not blame him. He just stroked the little Taoist boy's head and comforted the tearful Liuli.
The two sides confronted each other for a while.
As a figure appeared in the sky, the pressure of Hedao descended.
Zhong Shentong's face turned extremely pale. He let out a long sigh and finally calmed down.
"Little Liuli, it was indeed me who fell out of the fishing pond."
"At first, it was just a transparent fruit like glass. I was about to eat it, but I faintly heard a baby crying from it."
…
Zhong Shentong gave up resisting, sat down on the ground and narrated slowly.
Lin Ling was very curious about this pretty little Taoist boy, and her spiritual sense kept scanning the other person's body.
The little girl actually sensed this and glared back at Lin Ling, not wanting to be outdone.
The two of them stared at each other, neither of them giving in.
This scene made Zhong Shentong laugh and cry at the same time, and the uneasiness in his heart disappeared.
When the opponent showed his strength, he felt desperate.
However, judging from the actions of this Immortal Master Hedao, the situation does not seem as bad as imagined.
At this time, Ji Shaoli also walked to the fishing pond.
With his back to Zhong Shentong, he slowly said, "I am not a murderer. I will not commit murder unless it is absolutely necessary. But the secret of the fishing pond must not be revealed."
"Friend Zhong, you now have two choices."
"One is to sacrifice one's life. If so, I promise you that this little kid will have no worries for the rest of his life."
"Secondly..."
Zhong Shentong narrowed his eyes and paused deliberately when listening to Ji Shaoli's words.
"That means joining our Federation of All Worlds. As long as we are one family, there is no need to worry about any secrets being leaked."
"The Federation of All Worlds?" Hearing this completely unfamiliar name, Zhong Shentong was stunned for a moment.
However, with a Hedao monk in charge, it must be something very complicated.
Zhong Shentong had no choice at all and quickly agreed readily.
"I'd like to join you."
"Good! Brother Zhong really knows how to adapt to the changing times!" Ji Shaoli applauded and praised.
"Lin Ling!" he shouted again.
Lin Ling looked at Ji Shaoli, and then pointed lightly into the air.
Then, the blurry image of a faceless stone statue appeared above Zhong Shentong's head.
Although he couldn't see the appearance of the stone statue clearly, Zhong Shentong suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
In the fishing pond, I face the vast star-like light every day.
He has developed an intuitive ability to identify the grade of items.
Zhong Shentong could tell at a glance that this stone statue must be of great significance!
As expected, he heard Ji Shaoli say respectfully: "This is the statue of [Red Dust Compassionate True Immortal]. Anyone who joins the sect must recite the oath in front of the stone statue."
As he spoke, a vow of more than two hundred words was transmitted into Zhong Shentong's mind.
"True Immortal..." Zhong Shentong's heart trembled.
"Could it be that the Federation of All Worlds is behind this..."
Zhong Shentong didn't dare to think about it too much.
I have seen too many items from different worlds of cultivation in Diaoyutai.
He was absolutely certain of the real existence of the fairyland that was above all other immortal cultivation worlds.
With an extremely solemn expression, Zhong Shentong recited the oath of membership in front of everyone.
The process seemed extremely long, and the oath seemed to contain an extremely mysterious energy.
