Chapter 224 Battle Peak
This scene happened very suddenly, which surprised many people. After all, how could Lord Sun value a person who couldn't even see through his inner demons?
In the ancient hall of the Zhenyang Sect, the Sun Master was stunned for a moment. He looked at the gradually fading light of the sun and said with emotion, "There really are people who can resist the temptation of the golden elixir. Those who are afraid of death will seek the longevity of the golden elixir, and those who are firm in their Taoism will desire the wonders of the golden elixir.
If one becomes a golden elixir, one will have the destiny of an immortal, and will become an immortal from an ordinary person. But this little girl has such great perseverance.
Qi Ling, are you really trying to deceive people like this?"
The real person at the steps did not dare to answer. He just stood there silently with his head down and said nothing.
The setting sun shone into the hall through the open door, shining on the young man sitting on the stage, a sea of golden light.
He sighed heavily, "Yuan Yao, this is the first time I have failed."
Yuan Yao Zhenren said respectfully: "This is also the only time you failed."
“The only time?” True Lord Taiyang said to himself, “I thought I could see through people’s hearts, and that’s how I could beat thousands of years. I failed today because of people’s hearts.”
He stood up and walked to the front of the hall. The setting sun stretched his shadow extremely long, yet also very lonely, because no one dared to stand shoulder to shoulder with him.
"Yuan Yao, tell Qing Xuan, Tong Xuan and the other three to withdraw from Nan Jue Continent and return to the Immortal Sect."
"What?" Master Yuan Yao was startled, and said belatedly in disbelief: "Sir! Do you really want to do this?
Without the suppression of the Three Daos, the other Daos would lose their checks and balances, and the creatures of Nanjuezhou would fall into a true hell on earth!"
"But was Jiang Xu kind to the creatures of Nanjue Island before this?"
Sun Zhenjun shook his head and continued: "You should know that Nanjue is actually a world.
Eleven immortal sects, nine continents of Taoism, each with its own laws. Back off and let them fight. Since human hearts are hard to predict, let's just wait and see what the will of heaven will be!"
Yuan Yao Zhenren still gritted his teeth and asked: "But sir, aren't you the sky?"
"No, when did I become the sky?"
Sun Master chuckled and said calmly, "I am just the sun in the sky."
…
On the top of Danfeng Mountain, a young boy stared at the fading sunlight in the sky for a long time in a daze. His young face was full of sadness, and tears were welling up in his eyes but never fell.
He heard footsteps behind him and a large dark red sleeve gently wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.
The young man looked up, saw the person coming, and said in a choked voice: "Master... is the old clan leader dead?"
Li Yiyan wiped away his tears, squatted down, looked into those sad eyes and said soothingly: "Elder Qian just went where she wanted to go."
"But the book says that if you fail to ascend the throne, you will die!" Qian Chengguang said sadly.
"That's other places. In our Qi Ling, death is rebirth."
Li Yiyan stood up and looked at the young boy in front of him, recalling his forgotten memories. There was also such a little boy by his side back then, but unfortunately he had no ability to protect him and watched with his own eyes as his junior fellow apprentice was swallowed by the sea monster.
Now, there is such a young man by his side again, but this time he is his disciple.
Li Yiyan looked into the distance and said to him, "When you achieve true cultivation, perhaps you will be able to meet Elder Qian."
…
In the Xuanyuan New Territory, in a fairy temple shrouded in clouds and mist, a ray of red sunlight fell into it.
Qian Shiyan's consciousness gradually condensed from the brink of collapse and loss into a clear will. She vaguely sensed the existence of her physical body again from the chaos.
She seemed to hear birds singing all around, followed by the feeling of wind and her body's consciousness gradually returning. She tried to open her eyes, and a light shone into her pupils.
Qian Shiyan came back to her senses instantly. She looked at the scene in front of her. She found herself sitting cross-legged on a lotus. The lotus platform was floating on a pond. There was a faint mist floating on the water of the pond. In the center stood a statue of a blue and white snake.
"here it is……"
There was a sound of footsteps, and an old man walked over quickly. When he saw her, he smiled and said, "Congratulations, uncle, on your new life!"
"You are..." Qian Shiyan looked at the old man in front of her, her memories flowing, "You are Yu..."
“Yes, this disciple is Yu Siqi!” The old man said with a smile, “After I passed away a few years ago, I was led to this world by the ancestor.”
"This world? Ancestor?" Qian Shiyan was shocked. She looked back at the blue and white snake statues behind her and asked, "Could it be Junior Brother Li Yuan?"
"It is the ancestor!" Yu Siqi said, "This world is Xuanyuan. It is Xuanyuan of the Xuanyuan spell!"
"So, after Qi Ling's death, all his disciples will be reborn in this world?" Qian Shiyan suppressed her shock and said, "Then where did this world come from?
Are we alive or dead?"
Yu Siqi smiled and said, "According to our ancestors, we are no longer adapted to the laws of the old world. For various reasons, we cannot exist in the ancient world, so we came to the new world!
We are still us.
Sometimes I wonder if I was originally in the New Territories and just had a dream of being in the Old Territory.
After listening to this, Qian Shiyan was silent for a moment, then walked out of the pool, looked at the world in front of her, sensed the spiritual energy of this world, and chuckled: "After being caged for a long time, I am finally free. From death to life, I am freed.
After six hundred years of experience in the ancient world, I have experienced life and death, honor and disgrace, sorrow and joy, separation and reunion, and all seven emotions and six desires. If I continue to practice in this life, I think there will be no obstacles in my way forward. "
"Master uncle is indeed insightful. The cultivation in this world is quite different from that in the ancient world, but the fundamentals of the Tao are the same. The cultivation in the new world is divided into acquired Qi training and innate Qi training. Acquired Qi training is equivalent to the early and middle stages of Qi training in the ancient world.
Xiantian Qi training is equivalent to the late and peak stages of Qi training in the ancient world."
"In that case, I feel that the division of cultivation realms in the ancient world is a little untrue." Qian Shiyan pondered, "I was surprised when I was in the late stage of Qi Refining in the past. They are all Qi Refining, but the gap between the early, middle and late stages is almost two realms.
If it is divided according to the New Territories method, it would be reasonable.”
"That's true." Yu Siqi smiled and said, "In this world, there are gods in heaven above, ghosts in the netherworld below, and the world between heaven and earth.
The realm of cultivation after the innate level is called human immortal, which is comparable to the lower level of true cultivation in the ancient world.
The middle level of true cultivation is the earthly immortal, and the upper level of true cultivation is the celestial immortal.
As for the Golden Elixir Master, he is called the Enlightened Immortal! "
Qian Shiyan asked, "What about the True Lord?"
“This…” Yu Siqi was a little frightened, and said, “This… According to rumors in the New Territory, the highest realm is the immortal Golden Immortal! Probably, it may be comparable to the True Lord realm.”
“The Golden Immortal is immortal!” Qian Shiyan raised her eyes, looked at the sun in the sky, and said leisurely: “In the last life, I sought a life of freedom. In this life, I will seek the Tao.”
…
More than a month after the sun lost its brilliance, one day in Nanjue Continent, three grand mysterious lights slowly rose up, like three golden, white, and blue stars shining in the dark night, and countless people looked up.
Taoist Yuanchu saw the real people from the three immortal sects, Taixuan, Qingxuan and Shangxuan, activating their status and carrying a group of direct descendants to ascend to heaven and break through the boundaries.
When the Jindan of various forces saw this scene, their minds, which had been suppressed for nearly a hundred years, began to flicker and stir. The three major immortal sects were here to perform the duty of inspection and peace. If they didn't leave, the chaos in Nanjuezhou would not be too serious.
But now that they are all gone, it means that the First Man of Heavenly Palace has stopped, and they can fight with all their might to fight for luck and the great way!
Above the sky, three stars are twinkling and shining brightly, which is very beautiful in the night sky.
But the creatures of Nanjuezhou did not know that this was the arrival of a disaster.
Inside the Qi Ling Sect, in the palace, all the true practitioners stood with solemn expressions.
The head of the sect, Wang Chaochen, was somewhat shocked and said, “So, the world is actually like this.
We have always believed that Nanjue Island is a remote place in the world, a deserted island outside the central continent.
I finally realized today that the South is not an island, but a region!
We, the people of Nanjue, are the masters of this world! Even though Jiang Xu had been domineering for thousands of years, he eventually died to thank the heaven and earth!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Fengyun, who was among the true cultivators, twitched his mouth, but he did not show any dissatisfaction.
Wang Chaochen on the stage continued: "Now that the Three Immortal Sects have left, chaos will begin in the world. My Qiling Dao has gone through twenty generations of leaders to achieve the current situation.
There are only two paths before us. One path is to live in peace and watch the other sects annex us, and finally return to the situation in Nan Jue six hundred years ago, surrender and respect other sects as the supreme sect.
The other way is for us to become the Supreme Sect! We, the people of Nanjuezhou, will become the masters of Nanjue!
Everyone, do you want to submit to me, or do you want to be my superior?"
The hall was filled with solemnity, and no one dared to speak. No matter which path they took, it was a heavy one. But they were not fools because they could cultivate to the true level. Anyone with a discerning eye knew that there were only two paths left.
The old practitioners of the Xiang family all lowered their heads and remained silent, not daring to speak, for fear of causing trouble.
The true practitioners of the Li family all set their sights on patriarch Li Hanxing, waiting to see what his stance would be.
The true practitioners of the Bai family all held their heads high and puffed out their chests, with a faint desire to argue.
The Wang family's true practitioners fell into deep thought, as past humiliations, sorrows, and various things recorded in the family's history came to their minds.
The remaining true practitioners all have their own considerations and weighings, wondering which option will bring them greater benefits.
Wang Chaochen on the high platform silently looked at the people below the stage. Qi Ling was not an individual, but was composed of these true practitioners in front of him. They each represented their own interests and the interests of the dozens or hundreds of Qi training disciples behind them.
When the interests of these people are brought together, they become the will of the Qi Ling faction.
Li Hanxing, the oldest and most senior cultivator, broke the silence, looked up at the stage, and asked, "Have you consulted the two ancestors?"
Wang Chaochen seemed to have guessed this question, and immediately said with a smile: "The sect's Patriarch Shenming has always been obsessed with cultivation and not concerned with worldly affairs, so everything is based on Patriarch Yuanchu.
I also asked the ancestor Yuanchu, and he said: The road is under your feet, it is up to you to decide.
If you are willing to live in peace in a corner, the ancestor will do his best to protect you.
If you are determined to fight, then the ancestor will definitely do everything he can to help you achieve the day when everyone is as powerful as a dragon! "
At this moment in the hall, one could hear a pin drop. All the true practitioners looked up in disbelief. This was the first time they felt Qi Ling's uniqueness. How could they, such small true practitioners, discuss matters with Jin Dan?
Wang Chaochen looked at their shocked expressions and said, "Qi Ling is now at its most prosperous period in ancient times, with hundreds of true cultivators, tens of thousands of disciples, and tens of millions of ordinary people, all of whom are the hard work of our ancestors.
If we do not carry out his wish, how can we face our ancestors in the afterlife?
If we do not carry on the past and strive for eternal change, how will future generations judge us as having no ambition for maintaining the status quo?
My Qiling Taoist lineage is an ancient path of more than 4,000 years in the Nanjue Continent. This world should be ours!
Since we have the power and the reason, why can't we have the heart to conquer the world?
Instead of competing with the Qi Ling sect for profit and power in a certain mountain or area, why not compete with the whole world?
Gentlemen, I, Wang Chaochen, swear here the Xuanyuan Ling Oath that I will spend my entire life to expand Qi Ling's territory and fight for Qi Ling's hegemony in the south. Even if Zhaochen dies, my ambition will remain!
Would you fellow disciples be willing to join me on this journey?"
The vigorous young leader at this moment expressed his sincere heart in front of them, made bold statements and expressed his lofty ambitions, with a mighty aura and a will that moved all directions.
The Qifeng Wang family's true cultivators came out of their confusion one after another, and they shouted in unison, shaking the eight directions: "We swear to follow the master until death!"
Seeing the Wang family like this, Li Hanxing immediately followed and said: "My Li family swears to follow the master to expand the territory!"
When the Li family practitioners behind him saw the patriarch express his opinion, they immediately bowed and said yes.
The Bai and Xiang families immediately followed suit and expressed their opinions in unison.
The rest of the true practitioners also followed suit. No matter what interests they harbored, as long as the general trend of people's hearts was formed, they would be swept forward by this trend even if they regretted it.
Once they gave up, they would be betraying their own position and becoming enemies of Qi Ling's tens of thousands of disciples.
The aura in the hall was soaring to the sky. In the realm of luck, the two green and white snake elephants entrenched on the top of Qi Ling Mountain suddenly raised their heads and roared. The sound spread thousands of miles and shook the luck pattern in all directions.
Wang Chaochen looked at the scene in front of him and never felt so connected to the crowd. He said, "Since everyone has this wish, then we should do it, and the speed of the effect should be the first priority.
In view of the arrangements for the last war, I specifically petitioned the ancestor to set up a war peak just for the purpose of war, responsible for coordinating the battle situation and deployment, and dispatching the nine peaks.
As for manpower, we will draw it from each of the nine peaks. I hope the peak masters can cooperate!"
"We are naturally willing to follow the master's orders!" The nine peak masters responded in unison.
"As for the position of the leader of Zhan Peak, the most suitable candidate was Chief Bai, but she broke through and never returned. After thinking about it, I decided on another person. I think you will all be convinced!" Wang Chaochen said to the group of true practitioners with a smile, directly cutting off their thoughts of competing for the position of leader of the peak.
Wang Chaochen bowed to the door and said, "Please come to the Battle Peak Master!"
As soon as these words were spoken, all the true practitioners turned around and looked outside the door.
Under the moonlight, the night wind blew off peach petals. A monk in a gray robe, holding a seal in one hand, stepped over, smiled at everyone, and said, "The world is full of suffering. I, Lingyun, have come out of the mountains to save the world."
