Chapter 156: The world's number one mysterious sect was disbanded, and Li Taxian practiced the way of the saints and was given the true teachings of March!

The mysterious art of life and death and mountains and rivers?

Magic gate?

These words were spoken in a low voice, echoing only between the ears and eyes of a few people.

Zuo Canxuan and Zuo Xiufa, the two main members of the Shengsi Shanhe Sect, have not yet recovered from the sadness of Zuo Shanhe's failure to break through the barrier, the hero's old age, and his request to "disband the sect".

Suddenly, I heard these murmurs again, and I couldn't help but ask:

"Master, this."

"Why do you say that?"

Stay young forever and regenerate broken limbs!
These two things are impossible to achieve before the third step, no matter how high your cultivation level is. However, disciples of the Life and Death Mountain and River Sect only need to follow the steps and complete the first and second levels of practice to achieve these two points easily.

In the realm of cultivation recorded in ancient scrolls.

Only a true "real person" who has gradually transcended martial arts can accomplish these two steps!
With such means, if they are not from the Xuanmen sect, they are not the most righteous sect in the world.
In this day and age, among the other lineages known as the "Strong Sixteen Sects" that are still exploring the path to becoming a true master, who is qualified?
how
So it became the so-called Demonic Sect?

However, facing the confusion and questioning of his two disciples, Zuo Shanhe did not answer.

at this time,
Ji Xia remained silent, walked over, supported Zuo Shanhe, and was determined to follow his words and lead him into the palace.

This made Zuo Shanhe look up to this young man.

"At such a young age, he is calm in the face of adversity"

"Given time, it will become a great thing."

"What a pity,"

"My frail body has never been able to knock on the 'gate of heaven' and has been burned by the fire of Nirvana. I can only live for three to five months at most. I am destined not to be able to teach him much."

"According to the fragmentary records in the ancient books, a thousand years ago there was an ancient saint who broke through the '28th Great Limit' and broke the restrictions, becoming an unrivalled seeker of the law who could communicate with the heavens and the earth."

"I don't know how far this young man can go in this era."

Zuo Shanhe held Ji Xia's hand and watched Feng Zizai and the other two clasp their fists and bow before walking away. Without saying anything more, he shouted to the two disciples who seemed to have a lot to say but had no idea where to say it:
"Look at your concentration. Where has all your daily self-cultivation and meditation skills gone?"

"He's not even as good as a boy who's only sixteen years old. He's more mature and stable than you!"

Looking at the group of people from the Shanhe Sect who were gradually gathering and approaching.

Seeing those pairs of puzzled eyes, Zuo Shanhe felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife.

But thinking of the final 'ending', he sighed again and could only harden his heart and remain silent.

Then, he asked Ji Xia to support him forward, pushed open the door of the palace, and sat on the red lacquered wooden armchair at the end of the hall, letting his wide sleeves hang down on both sides.

He looked at the light snow falling outside the hall, and his disciples were crawling on the ground, blocking the door, looking inside, as if begging him to "take back his decision."

The two Taoists, Chan Xuan and Xiu Fa, who hurriedly followed him and could be considered his right-hand men, spoke with heavy expressions:
"You two have been with me since you were little, even before the 'resurrection of cultivation' twenty years ago. You should know that this 'Mysterious Art of Life and Death, Mountains and Rivers' has three levels."

"In the past, no ancestor has ever comprehended the second level of heaven and earth, let alone the third level of mysteries. Yuandan and Tianren are nothing but empty words."

“But in those years when only the Great Innate existed.”

"Relying on the magical power of 'eternal youth', among a group of martial arts masters who have been famous for a long time and are already in their seventies and eighties,"

"Our sect's ancestors and masters were born with a celestial appearance, but they only looked to be in their twenties."

"From that time on, my Shanhe lineage has long been regarded as an 'immortal sect' in the eyes of the world, so we have earned the false reputation of 'the first mysterious sect'."

"But an empty name"

“It’s always just an empty name.”

"I have been practicing for so many years, and I can say that I have thoroughly comprehended all the Taoist scriptures, techniques, and skills in the world. I have mastered the sword, knife, spear, halberd and other martial arts, and I have achieved the achievement of comprehending the 'ultimate' martial arts heavenly phase in each one."

"The Heavenly Gate is indeed difficult to break. Ninety percent of the Yuan Dan masters in the world, even some of them are called Grandmasters, will find it difficult to pass this barrier in their lifetime."

"However, for me, this level is not difficult."

"Or"

"As long as I want, I can push it gently, just like blowing a breath, and it will open by itself. However, before the gate of heaven opens, it is still missing a main ingredient."

Zuo Shanhe stretched out his skinny hand and gently pushed it forward, speaking in a calm tone, as if the difficulty of "Heaven's Gate" was really that easy for him.

"Then why don't you open it, Gatekeeper?" Zuo Canxuan, who was lying on the ground, became anxious.

"Master, if you have any difficulties or obstacles, just tell me. I will do my best to help you. Just tell me!" Zuo Xiufa kowtowed loudly, crying.

This made Zuo Shanhe laugh:
"What if it costs both of your lives?"

When these words came out, the two of them were stunned.

Ji Xia also frowned, as if he had heard some extraordinary secret.

perhaps
That's why,
This was the reason why Zuo Shanhe had just failed to break through the barrier and fell from the clouds, and he did not hesitate to dismantle this century-old foundation with his own hands.

"It's not just you."

He stretched out his withered fingers and pointed at the figures outside the temple, whose shoulders were covered with snow and who were kneeling one by one on the steps, looking inside:

"And them."

"If I want to knock on the door of heaven, I need..."

"It's your 'foundation'."

Zuo Shanhe's tone began to turn cold:
"When I knocked on the gate of heaven with the 'Mysterious Art of Life and Death Mountains and Rivers', I saw the 'Appearance' behind my gate of heaven."

"If I want to push open that door, then I need to seize the 'Root of Life and Death' and create the 'Nirvana Tribulation'."

“After the Heavenly Gate, it is said that one needs to undergo three baptisms before reaching the end of the Heavenly Gate and reaching the level of the so-called ancient seekers of the law.”

"To practice this method, one needs to go through three Nirvana tribulations. Each Nirvana tribulation consumes tens of millions of life energy."

"Where does the calamity and energy come from?"

"Every disciple who has practiced the 'Mysterious Art of Life and Death', even if he has only reached the first level, is enough to counteract the anger of 'Ten Thousand People Died'."

“And if I sacrifice the entire Life and Death Mountain and River Sect, it will be enough for me to enter the Heavenly Gate and attain the Dao of a True Immortal. I may even have some left over!”

"Even though I can't bear it in my heart, I still want to leave some heritage behind."

"When the time comes, it's not impossible to spare your lives, but..."

"Is this the Dao of my 'Life and Death Mountain and River Sect'? Is this the Dao of the world's number one mysterious sect?"

“That’s why I call this method the Demonic Gate!”

"I thought the Threefold Law could reach the sky, but now it seems that if the 'Life and Death Mountain and River Sect' continues to exist and the truth of the 'Threefold Law' is made public, that would be harmful to people!"

"I believe that I value moral character when recruiting disciples, but this is a test for becoming a real person. I can 'lock up the monkey's heart and capture the horse's will at the last moment, and order myself to stick to the bottom line and not cross that threshold."

"But can I guarantee that all my disciples and grandchildren can keep it?"

"If the law ends, it will be a mistake."

"Then why not just let it fall into my hands and kill it completely!"

"It's better than that. If someone else is obsessed with the 'Triple Heavenly Gate', he will become a peerless demon in the future!"

He took out an ancient cowhide scroll from his bosom. This was the original copy of the "Mysterious Art of Life and Death, Mountains and Rivers". Zuo Shanhe used up his last bit of strength to burn the detailed method of the "third level" recorded on it. After it was burned to ashes,

He turned around and threw the first half of the chapter to Ji Xia who was beside him.

"Leaving aside the third stage, the first stage can use the power of heaven and earth to refine the 'Nirvana Qi', which is comparable to the third level, and it can also keep one young forever. This method is indeed remarkable."

"I won't ask you how you got to know Feng Zizai and the others. Although his behavior is too unorthodox, I have to say that he is indeed a strange person."

"If he can research the true 'True Man Method', it will be a blessing for the human race in this world, because if nothing unexpected happens..."

"The Dragon King of Jinghe River in the West Sea, the two top figures of the Great Yin, Grand Master Dong, and National Master Longxiang, these guys who have bloodline inheritance, or have traveled across the ocean from other strange places and came to the northwest to establish their own sects..."

"Relying on my own bloodline and the original inheritance, I have already found the real person's footsteps. Standing on the shoulders of giants is a good place to enjoy the shade."

"Most of the sixteen strongest sects in my northwest lineage have explored their own methods based on the fragments of the Cave Heaven era. If someone can integrate the mysteries among them, remove the dross and retain the essence, it would be a good thing."

“But as the head of the ‘Life and Death Mountain and River Sect’, the inheritance left by my ancestors is of utmost importance. I cannot give it to others. But now I am about to die, and the Dharma has become an illusion. I will give it to him. It doesn’t matter.”

"Ugh"

"A real person, a real person."

"Ah."

"I don't have a chance, but you guys still have one."

"Shanxuanna."

"My 'Life and Death Mountain and River Sect' is located in Tongye Province, and the powerful sects in Tongye Province are not just ours. There are also the 'Dan Dao' of Danxia Mountain, the 'Qi Men' of Ye Mao Mountain, and the 'Talismans' of the Natural Arts Sect."

"Wait, wait, wait, there may be opportunities to reach the sky!"

“Now, the future of the Life and Death Mountain and River Sect has been cut off. I ask all disciples to go down the mountain. Those who have family inheritance will return to their families, and those who don’t, I will also write a letter to the sect leaders and masters, asking them to take in my disciples, change their foundation, and join other sects to continue studying the great Dao.” After saying this, Zuo Shanhe closed his eyes, taking a long breath, as if he had fallen asleep.

"master!"

"Chief!"

After hearing the whole story, Canxuan and Xiufa felt as if someone was choking them by the neck. Their eyes started to turn red at the same time:
"Kill me, kill me!"

"If my death can help accomplish the 'Great Cause of Immortality' of the Mountain and River of Life and Death Sect and preserve the foundation of this sect, then it's fine if the two of us die. What's a pity?"

"When the time comes, at worst you can just erase this method, or find another method to be our fundamental inheritance, isn't that right?"

Swish!
The two rubbed their knees forward, and hugged Zuo Shanhe, who seemed to be asleep, on the left and right, with tears flowing.

"Shut up."

"Go back."

"Unless you want to see me die here now."

“I did not seek the Dharma on my own.”

"I am Zuo Shanhe."

"No."

Feeling the arms on both sides of his thighs tightly grasping his trouser legs, Zuo Shanhe's tone seemed to transcend this world.

The entire northwest calls the Life and Death Mountain and River Sect the "number one mysterious sect in the world."

Then,

He is the head of the world's number one mysterious sect.
You can't do things that are unworthy of your position.

The two disciples were silent for a long time.

He hunched his body and retreated silently. The vigor and vitality that was engraved on his young face suddenly disappeared, and he seemed to have aged by twenty years.

Only Jixia is left.

Seeing Zuo Shanhe open his eyes, she smiled at him gently:

"I should have sent you down the mountain."

"But, since I promised you that year, I will do it."

"In the past, I read the Taoist scriptures, Confucianism and Legalism, and I yearned for the 'way of the sage'. However, I cannot become such a person in this life, so I can only abide by the same teachings and behave myself."

"You must keep your word and do what you say."

"Li Taxian"

"You will stay here and be my 'recordholder' for three months."

"I will open up the Wuguan Pass for you to build your foundation, gather Qi and build your innateness. When the time is up, I will write you a letter and go to other powerful sects to practice the true teachings and ask for your help to break the '28th limit'."

"But I am an old man, a rotten wood, no longer the 'world's number one Xuanmen sect leader', nor am I the invincible mountain and river immortal. I wonder if you will fulfill your wish?"

Ji Xia listened for a while. As a spectator, he witnessed the rise and fall of the Xuanmen Sect. He couldn't help but feel touched. He felt an inexplicable respect for the Sect Master who lived a hundred years ago.

Someone who can resist this kind of 'temptation'.
I'm afraid there are very few such people in the world.

"Disciple, I am willing!"

only.
Nirvana.

This name.

Why does it sound so familiar?
The sect of life and death and mountains and rivers.

Temple Square.

Feng Zizai held the two volumes of the Mysterious Art of Life and Death, Mountains and Rivers, and looked at the tightly closed door of the hall, as if he was holding a hot potato.

Looking at the scarlet eyes around him, mixed with anger, as if all the sudden disasters were attributed to him, he grinned, weighed the inheritance in his hand, and smiled bitterly:

"What is this?"

"but,"

"Since Chief Zuo has spoken."

"Then Feng Zizai accepts this favor!"

"If he can obtain the Dharma someday,"

“A copy should be sent to the Life and Death Mountain and River Sect!”

After saying that, he was about to leave with Guan Chanzi and Zhang Ziqing beside him.

Just as they reached the mountain gate.

'Crunch'.
The door of the hall slowly opened.

"Senior Brother Canxuan!"

"Brother Xiufa!"

"Where's the master?"

Looking at the two bodies that seemed to have lost their souls and were like zombies, the disciples looked inside.

For a long time,

Only then did he hear the bitter tone of the leader, Canxuan, and he looked up at the sky, letting the snow fall on his shoulders for a long, long time.
"From today on,"

"The Life and Death Mountain and River Sect is disbanded."

"Everyone."

"Master, he has already found a way out for you."

"Let's go down the mountain."

It was the end of the year, it was snowing heavily in the middle of winter, and the world was cold and silent.

But during this time.

Northwest, Dayin.

But three major events happened in succession.

Li Shenyao, Duke of Tongye, declared himself emperor, the leader of the Wuwei Sect assassinated King Yin, and the world's number one mysterious sect, the 'September of Life and Death, Mountains and Rivers', was disbanded.

Let’s not talk about the former.

The latter two are carried out almost simultaneously.

I heard,

Feng Zizai, the leader of Wuwei Sect, once sneaked into the Shengsi Shanhe Sect to seek the mysterious power but failed, so he made a three-year agreement with the sect leader Zuo Shanhe.

When the agreed deadline arrived, the two men made a bet by having a duel of magic.

If he wins, he will take the mysterious skill and run away.

If he fails, he will commit suicide on Mount Nirvana.

I thought that it would be an unprecedented battle between the number one Xuanmen in the world and the number one demonic sect in the world among the pure-blooded human race.

But did not expect
The deadline has not yet arrived.

By the time Sect Master Wuwei set foot there for the second time, he had successfully taken away the secret. Soon afterward, it was suspected that the 'Immortal of Mountains and Rivers' had lost his secret of 'eternal youth', and he became senile and decrepit, and also disbanded the sect.

All the disciples who came down the mountain were filled with grief and indignation, and kept their mouths shut about everything that happened on the mountain.

But the rumors outside only believed that.
The head of Wuwei Sect, Feng Zizai, first provoked Great Yin, and then broke the mysterious skills of Shanhe Immortal. For a while, he was so famous that he seemed to be the leader of the whole world.
A first-rate person!

And that time.

The heads and masters of the 'strong sixteen sects' of Tongye Prefecture were all greatly shocked by this, and many experts joined forces to go to Nirvana Mountain and the Mysterious Sect of Life and Death to find out the truth.

As for Minghuang Prefecture, the Divine Capital.

A luxurious carriage with the word "Fuyao" engraved on it. After hearing the news, it was found that an inconspicuous boy with unknown origins still stayed with the "Shanhe Xianren".
He did not hesitate, even though the Life and Death Mountain and River Sect was gone, he still made a resolute choice and headed for Nirvana Mountain!

It is the focus of the world's turmoil.

They all gathered in the Wuwei Sect and the Life and Death Mountain and River Sect.

but!
In Tongyezhou, the Duke’s Mansion!

Received information from Shenjing
It was a snowy night.

The lights in Tongye Mansion were bright.
