Chapter 28 Seeking Help from Guangcheng Sect
After hesitating for three seconds, Fang Xianyu finally decided that if he could rely on others, he would not rely on himself, and turned around and headed straight for Guangcheng Sect! This was a matter within Guangcheng Sect's territory, so of course he had to report it to Guangcheng Sect!
Even if Guangcheng Sect cannot handle it, there is still the Jiaomu Star Lord worshipped by Guangcheng Sect! Although most cultivators have a natural fear of immortals and gods, even if they worship them, they will not easily ask them to move. But as the former number one golden immortal in the three islands of the ten continents, Fang Xianyu has no fear of these immortals and gods.
Huang Gong is worshipped by the villagers and knows how to protect the village. As a star god, he has been worshipped by Guangcheng Sect for so many years. It is impossible for him to do nothing, right? The headquarters of Guangcheng Sect is a mountain that towers into the sky. The mountain is like a stone pillar that goes straight into the sky. This is Guangcheng Mountain.
The mountain wall of Guangcheng Mountain is almost vertical and inaccessible to humans. There is only a vertical chain for climbing.
According to legend, every five years, when Guangcheng Sect recruits disciples, the only hard criterion is to have enough courage and physical strength to climb this chain to the sect's gate.
This standard of examining character more than aptitude has created a very good atmosphere in Guangcheng Sect, and the people in its jurisdiction have a rare good life - at least that was the case until the sect was destroyed last week.
Fang Xianyu also saw this point and chose to stay in Guangcheng Sect for a while.
However, this chain is as difficult as a chasm for ordinary people, but it is not so exaggerated for monks.
Fang Xianyu was seen riding the wind and rising like a dragonfly skimming the water. He stepped lightly on the chain several times and climbed up Mount Guangcheng.
The main gate of Guangcheng Sect is a very simple stone archway with three holes and five floors. The whole structure is carved with stone and decorated with dragon and cloud patterns. Only the plaque has three large characters dyed in ink: Guangcheng Sect.
There was only one disciple guarding the gate. He was dozing off, but when Fang Xianyu appeared, he was startled and looked over.
"I am Fang Xianyu from Taiyin Sect and I am here to pay a visit to Guangcheng Sect. Due to some important matters, I was unable to deliver the invitation in time. Please forgive me."
The gatekeeper disciple was very polite. He did not look down on Fang Xianyu because he had never heard of her sect. He welcomed her into the sect and said, "You are too polite, fellow Daoist. It's just that you came at an inopportune time. The sect master was invited to attend the Penglai Immortals' Meeting and has not been in the sect for the past few days. However, Elder Hu and Elder Du of our sect are here. I will send a message right away."
"Thank you for your help, fellow Taoist."
The short-distance communication method used by Guangcheng Sect is also the communication method commonly used by most sects - the communication talisman.
The cost of the communication talisman is very low, and even a mortal body can make it with special materials. However, monks don't have to go through so much trouble, they can directly use cinnabar to draw, and just need to inject some spiritual power when drawing.
Ordinary communication talismans like the one used by the sect are also called mother-child talismans. After the child talisman "inputs" information, the mother talisman can "receive" the information from the child talisman. The distance varies according to the level of the talisman and the ability of the person who made the talisman, and the farthest distance can be even tens of thousands of miles.
The gatekeeper disciple explained the situation in just a few words, and the sub-talisman was instantly burned out of thin air.
When the two men arrived at the main hall of Guangcheng Sect, there were already two monks chatting at the entrance of the hall, and they seemed to have been waiting for a long time.
"This is our Elder Hu, and this is Elder Du."
The gatekeeper disciple introduced.
Fang Xianyu greeted politely: "Greetings, Elder Hu and Elder Du, I am Fang Xianyu from Taiyin Sect." "You are too polite, fellow Taoist."
The first person to speak was Elder Hu. He looked very young, but not very tall, and had a somewhat feminine face.
Elder Hu returned the greeting first, then continued, "I still remember you. You just came to Guangcheng Sect to register a few days ago. I didn't expect that in just a few days, your cultivation has improved as if it were divinely assisted. You are truly gifted."
Elder Du also nodded with a smile: "Is this fellow Taoist the head of the Taiyin Sect? It seems that he is only in his twenties, but he has already established his foundation, and he is also the head of a sect. He is really young and promising!"
Elder Du looks like a middle-aged Taoist priest, with a long beard and a whisk in his hand, looking very righteous.
Thanks to the system, even though Fang Xianyu was only at the foundation-building stage, he could still see the cultivation levels of the two elders. One was already at the Nascent Soul stage, and the other was at the Golden Core stage.
The levels of cultivators are fairly clear. After the Qi is drawn into the body, it is the Qi Refining Stage. After the Qi Refining is complete, the foundation is built, which is the Foundation Building Stage. After the Foundation Building is complete, the elixir can be formed, which is the Golden Elixir Stage. Above the Golden Elixir is the Nascent Soul Stage, and above the Nascent Soul is the Spiritualization Stage.
When one's cultivation is deep enough, one can overcome the heavenly tribulation and cultivate a truly immortal body with eternal youth and immortality.
Of course, after becoming an immortal, one can be killed. Only by achieving divine office can one be truly immortal—one who has not lost his divine office, an immortal, is indestructible.
Among the levels of cultivators, foundation building is a threshold. Qi-refining cultivators below foundation building are actually only slightly stronger than ordinary people, and can use spiritual power at most. But once the foundation is built, it means a complete transformation, and even eating wind and drinking dew, no longer subject to the physical shackles of most ordinary people, not to mention that most of the five elements of magic practice will be open to cultivators at this stage.
The second threshold is the transformation of the spirit. As the name implies, the Nascent Soul can only make one's soul leave the body, while the transformation of the spirit is to truly break through the confinement of the flesh. Even if the flesh is destroyed, the cultivator of the transformation of the spirit can find a way to attach to the puppet to survive, or even take over the body and be reborn.
So, even though there is a big gap between the Foundation Establishment Stage and the Nascent Soul Stage, in Fang Xianyu's opinion, the gap is not absolutely exaggerated.
You know, most people are stuck in the foundation-building stage for their entire lives, and it is difficult for them to make any progress. Unless they are second-generation ancestors who were raised with resources by the top sects in the Ten Continents and Three Islands, ordinary foundation-building cultivators in their twenties can indeed be called geniuses - this means that it is a foregone conclusion that she will achieve Dan in the future!
Of course, Fang Xianyu, who had benefited from the first round of bonuses, did not really think that she was a genius. She said modestly, "You two are too kind. It is only because my master has a small fortune that I was lucky enough to cultivate the foundation."
Elder Du smiled politely: "Hahaha, young people are just modest. By the way, I wonder why Sect Leader Fang came here this time?"
"It's like this," Fang Xianyu said directly without keeping anyone in suspense, "There is an unnamed valley near Taiyin Sect. At the entrance of the valley is a pool of water with a very strong yin energy. Something seems to live in it. Its cultivation level is probably not lower than that of the Nascent Soul, and it is extremely terrifying. Because it is within the territory of Guangcheng Sect, I came to ask what is going on - this thing is blocking the entrance of Taiyin Sect more than 200 miles away, which really makes me feel uneasy."
When they were halfway through the conversation, Elder Hu and Elder Du looked at each other. After Fang Xianyu finished speaking, Elder Hu sighed instead, obviously knowing something.
That makes sense! This thing is so exaggerated! It is near Guangcheng Sect. If you really say that no one in Guangcheng Sect knows about it, how is that possible?
However, it was Elder Du who spoke first: "We do know something about that thing. It was originally just a gathering of resentment, but later somehow it became a kind of 'spirit' that feeds on the villagers and animals that strayed into the area. Because it lurked at the bottom of the pond all year round, we didn't notice it at first, and by the time we noticed it, it had already become a force to be reckoned with. My Guangcheng Sect also wanted to subdue it, but it was very cunning. If it met someone it couldn't defeat, it would just dive back to the bottom of the pond. The reason why the water in the pond is filled with negative energy is because it is a bottomless pond that leads to the underworld, and no living person can easily get in... Alas, we are really helpless."
Elder Hu added, "But later we set up a formation nearby to make ordinary people ignore the forest. That thing doesn't easily go too far from the lake. As long as people don't go there, it won't attack actively, so we didn't have to take it at all costs."
