Chapter 285: Above the Dao, it is called Enlightenment
The chief minister of Lizhou Mountain and Sea Department, Shentu Siming.
An existence who has shown extremely high talent for cultivation since childhood and has contracted with the seventh-level Shanhaisi monster Bi'an.
Not only does he have the cultivation level of the seventh transformation of the Nascent Soul Stage, he is also one of the owners of the Twelve Dragon-Slaying Swords of the Shanhai Division.
The dragon-slaying sword he possesses is named 'Zhengfa'.
Combined with his own exotic beasts from the mountains and seas, Shentu Siming ranks among the top even among many great palm classics.
Many people even say that after the current director of the Lizhou Shanhaisi headquarters retires, the person most likely to succeed him will be Shentu Siming.
Being stared at by such a great cultivator, even though the other party had no ill intentions, Lu Chen still felt a lot of pressure.
It felt like a tiger lurking in the forest, curiously sizing up the travelers going up the mountain.
Fortunately, Shentu Siming just took a quick look and stopped paying attention to Lu Chen, and walked to the first seat in the center.
"As for the assessment process for the Master of Scriptures, I think you all know about it, so I don't need to elaborate on it, right?"
Everyone, including Lu Chen, nodded.
Because the general content was contained in the letter that replied to Lu Chen after he reviewed it.
Generally speaking, the assessment of the Shanhaisi Chief Envoy is divided into two important parts.
One is to complete the assessment trial, and the other is to gain the recognition of the majority of great palm masters.
If in an assessment, the two sides have the same number of votes.
Then let the two parties in the assessment compete again separately, and the winner will be promoted to the chief envoy.
This will undoubtedly lead to a situation where someone has a good relationship with a certain great palm master and therefore deliberately votes for this person.
The Shanhaisi will not interfere too much in this regard.
Because when one reaches the level of Grand Palm Master, he is basically considered an absolute high-level figure in the Immortal Alliance.
Similar to a frontier ambassador, it is difficult to restrain him.
Besides, absolute fairness is rare in this world.
It is not easy to achieve relative fairness.
"This is the content of your assessment this time, take a look."
Shentu Siming waved his hand and four documents flew in front of everyone.
Lu Chen picked up the document and read it curiously.
But as he watched, his expression gradually became serious.
Because the things described in this document would be a bit tricky even if he were to handle them.
[Name: Qingyang County·Imperial Dojo]
[Mission Difficulty: A+]
[Description: A year ago, a Taoist temple suddenly appeared in Qingyang County. This Taoist temple opens once every midnight, and the monks who enter and successfully come out will gain considerable benefits.
Some people’s cultivation base increased rapidly, some’s talents improved, and some even obtained powerful magic weapons.
Therefore, in the first six months, Qingyang County regarded this Taoist temple as a gift from God.
But gradually, people in Qingyang County discovered that something was wrong.
At first, the people in Qingyang County only discovered that the strange immortal's temple seemed to expand a little bit every other day.
Later they discovered that in addition to these, the first group of lucky people who walked out of the Yixian Taoist temple had died suddenly one after another.
What is even more terrifying is that those who have died will return to their relatives one day and try to bring them to the temple to preach.
Since Qingyang County did not treat the Yixian Dojo as a dangerous place at the beginning, more than 90% of the cultivators in the entire Qingyang County have entered the Yixian Dojo, covering a very large area.
For a time, everyone in Qingyang County felt in danger.
Because the alien immortal's dojo has begun to affect ordinary people, a large number of ordinary people will disappear with every inch the alien immortal's dojo advances.
When things got to this point, everyone in Qingyang County knew that something was wrong.
But when they wanted to report the situation here to the nearest Shanhaisi, they found that the entire Qingyang County had been affected by some mysterious force and no information could be transmitted.
In the end, it was Huaishan County, which is close to Qingyang County, that discovered the abnormality in Qingyang County.
But it was too late. The entire Qingyang County was shrouded in a strange fog, making it difficult for outsiders to enter. 】
[Current exploration progress: It is known that there are many Jindan-stage immortals in Qingyang County today, and most of them are cultivators from the original Qingyang County. No Yuanying-stage immortals have been found yet.]
A mysterious place for immortals to practice, with many immortals in the Jindan stage.
Lu Chen instinctively felt that the situation in Qingyang County was not that simple.
After all, it can cover an entire county and convert most of the Immortal Alliance monks.
The danger level of this place is definitely worse than they thought.
Everyone, including Lu Chen, felt that there were Yuanying-stage immortals in Qingyang County, but they just hadn't found any yet.
So, after everyone read the task content, Jiang Yuanshan next to Lu Chen couldn't help but say, "Master Shentu, if it's just the four of us, I'm afraid it will be difficult to complete this task, right?"
The last two of the four, Ding Zhiwei and Liu Shaohai, also nodded.
Shentu Siming saw this and said with a smile: "Of course this mission cannot rely on just the four of you. I will accompany you as well."
"It's just that I won't take action unless I encounter a Yuanying stage immortal."
Is there a big palm scripture following?
That's okay.
Among the people present, including Lu Chen, everyone knew how powerful the Great Palm Sutra was.
When Lu Chen was taking the college entrance examination in Qingzhou, he had seen a great palm master from the Qingzhou Mountain and Sea Division take action.
The opponent suppressed the Black Lotus Sect's White Bone Lady almost the entire time.
If Madam Bai Gu had not had the bronze poisonous insect by her side at that time, she might have been easily defeated by the great palm master in just a few rounds.
And in Lu Chen's judgment, the strength of Shentu Siming in front of him was far superior to that of the great palm master of Qingzhou.
Unless someone is at the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage or the Spirit Transformation Stage, they can take action.
Otherwise, Shentu Siming should be able to walk sideways.
"Well, do you have anything else to ask?"
Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.
Indicating that they no longer have any doubts.
"In that case, let's go."
Lizhou, Qingyang County.
At this time, Qingyang County had been completely blocked by the Shanhai Division, preventing anyone from approaching.
Outside the cordon, a large number of Shanhaisi staff were constantly investigating the situation in Qingyang County.
Their expressions were very solemn, and there was lingering worry between everyone's brows.
Because in just half a month, the scope of Qingyang County's Yixian Taoist Temple was expanded by more than ten miles.
If this rate continues, it won’t be long before the alien immortals’ temple spreads to the nearest city.
Then the problem will become serious.
However, as several figures arrived outside Qingyang County, the surrounding Shanhaisi staff all showed joy.
Because the leader was the Chief Master of Shanhai Division, Shentu Siming, who was wearing a white robe.
"How is it? Is Qingyang County still expanding?"
Facing Shentu Siming's question, the staff member in front of him picked up the recorded information in his hand and replied: "Reporting to Shentu Dazhangjing, the Yixian Daochang in Qingyang County has advanced another 17 miles outward. Some of the staff members lost contact because they did not have time to evacuate."
"The other few Shanhai Walkers who entered to investigate the situation in Qingyang County have not come out yet."
"Understood. Have everyone retreat three miles. We will take care of this place."
"yes."
The staff felt relieved and then hurriedly told others to step back.
After everyone left, Shentu Siming smiled and said to Lu Chen and the others, "Follow me."
Having said that, Shentu Siming began to walk towards Qingyang County.
But just when Shentu Siming approached Qingyang County to a certain distance, the originally peaceful Qingyang County immediately became restless.
The surging fog gradually condensed and eventually turned into a huge distorted human face.
The man's face was suspended high in the sky, staring at Shentu Siming and others below.
This is the first time such a situation has occurred since the appearance of the Yixiandaochang.
It can be seen how much pressure Shentu Siming's existence has put on the strange immortal temple in Qingyang County.
Facing this huge white mist head, Shentu Siming took out a pack of cigarettes from his arms, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth.
"call……"
Shentu Siming blew out a smoke ring and looked at the white mist head above his head with sarcasm.
"You want to use this to dissuade me? Then let's see if you have the ability to do so."
As he spoke, a huge bronze sword appeared out of thin air in Shentu Siming's right hand.
The sword was densely covered with various ancient Chinese characters.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out that the ancient texts were actually laws.
Shentu Siming held the 'Zhengfa Dragon-Slaying Sword' in one hand and raised it casually.
The next second, an indescribable aura emanated from him.
That kind of oppressive feeling of extreme goodness and strength is like a punishment from heaven.
"Without rules, there will be no order. Since you have come to our Immortal Alliance's territory, I will abide by the laws of the Immortal Alliance!"
As he spoke, Shentu Siming swung the Zhengfa Dragon-Slaying Sword in his hand.
In an instant, a phantom in armor appeared behind Shentu Siming.
And this phantom is none other than Shentu Siming's Law of Heaven and Earth.
The giant sword fell down, like the sky falling.
Faced with this terrifying sword, the head made of white mist looked ferocious and opened its mouth to spit out more white mist.
And these white mists finally turned into arms and grabbed towards the Zhengfa Dragon-Slaying Sword of Shentu Siming Fa Tianxiangdi.
Boom! The Zhengfa Zhanlong Sword seemed to contain some special power, causing those white mist arms to melt like ice and snow the moment they touched the sword.
Then, the Zhengfa Dragon-Slaying Sword, with unparalleled power, chopped down Bai Wu's head.
"roar!"
After the giant sword split Bai Wu's head in half, a shrill scream immediately came from deep in Qingyang County.
The sound was so penetrating that it caused Jiang Yuanshan and others around Lu Chen to sway.
It seemed that this scream could penetrate the human body and reach the soul of the monk.
But the sound came and went quickly.
Soon, a road was opened in Qingyang County, which was originally shrouded in fog.
Lu Chen and others can also enter Qingyang County through this road.
Although he killed the strange white mist head in one second with one sword, Shentu Siming's expression did not become relaxed, but became serious instead.
He looked in the direction of Qingyang County and whispered, "Are there only traces of great supernatural powers? In that case, the matter is not particularly troublesome. It is good that it has not reached the immortal realm of enlightenment."
The so-called strange immortals are not real immortals.
But it is part of the immortal.
They are often the transformation of a certain immortal's magic weapon, flesh, blood, or even hair.
Because the alien immortals themselves have inherited the Taoist traditions of former immortals.
Once they awaken, not only is their starting point much higher than that of ordinary cultivators, but their cultivation speed is also abnormally fast.
Fortunately, the alien immortals usually only master some of the methods of the former immortals. Otherwise, it would be difficult for the Immortal Alliance, which does not have an immortal in charge, to deal with them.
However, it is impossible to get rid of the alien immortals by ordinary means.
As the saying goes, the great way never stops and immortals never die.
In this regard, the alien immortals have the same characteristics as immortals.
If the way of the alien immortals cannot be obliterated, then they will be immortal and indestructible.
In order to accomplish this, only cultivators above the Hedao realm, or cultivators in the Yuanying stage who can directly influence some of the great ways, have the ability to eliminate the alien immortals.
This is why after investigating into the situation in Qingyang County, it was discovered that it was caused by an ancient alien immortal.
The reason why Lizhou Mountain and Sea Division did not send anyone over immediately, but chose to block the area.
Strange immortals are beings that only the Great Palm Master and some palm masters with extraordinary talents can deal with.
From Shentu Siming's casual words just now, Lu Chen understood a problem that had troubled him for a long time.
That is what is above the state of transformation.
Now there is an answer to this question.
Above the Tao of transformation is called the Tao of enlightenment.
Although Lu Chen doesn’t know what to do to achieve enlightenment for the time being.
But knowing a direction, he also had a clear goal.
"Okay, follow me."
"I will not take action again until I meet the real boss. I will leave the evil spirits along the way to you."
After hearing Shentu Siming's words, Lu Chen and others also became serious.
Then the five of them followed the split fog and entered Qingyang County.
As soon as they entered Qingyang County, everyone was shocked by the scene before them.
They saw that in Qingyang County, which originally had a population of 200,000, there was no one left, not even a cat or a dog.
It seemed as if Qingyang County had become a forbidden zone for life.
But soon, there was movement around Qingyang County.
A large number of monsters with copper horns on their foreheads surrounded Lu Chen and others.
These people were originally ordinary people in Qingyang County, and there were also some cultivators from Qingyang County.
What is unbelievable is that those ordinary people who originally had no cultivation at all now have cultivation levels above the Qi training level.
This is true for ordinary people, let alone those cultivators in Qingyang County who have already achieved some cultivation.
It can be said that what they have to deal with this time is not just a strange immortal.
They also have to deal with an army of 200,000 monsters.
Thinking of this, the other three examinees except Lu Chen all looked embarrassed.
There are so many monsters, and they are all monsters with cultivation.
It's not that easy to solve.
And while they are dealing with ordinary monsters, they also have to be careful of sneak attacks from other Jindan stage monsters.
This assessment... is much more difficult than they imagined.
