Paulownia leaves, the cave of the Longxiong Sect!
As a place where those who seek the Dharma live, this place is completely different from the outside world.

Even if the outside world has been practicing and reviving for dozens of years, and is considered to be the most top-notch "Taoist Mountain Gate", in terms of spiritual energy alone, it cannot compare with this place. It is like the bright moon and the stars, which cannot be compared.

There is an old saying: "One day on earth is one year in heaven."

Although it is a bit of an exaggeration to describe the place of practice for those who seek the Dharma in the fifth step.

However, it is a foregone conclusion that a normal person above the real person level who practices here will surely make progress several times, or even ten times, faster than the outside world.

As for this kind of "natural and natural" wonders, where did they come from? How could they be so amazing and amazing?
I guess only the founder of this group knows the answer.

This day!
Da Zhao established the country and ruled over the five states!
The rest either surrendered, fled far away or were reduced to ashes.

The cave is isolated from the outside world, and the ancestor of the 'Dharma Seeker' has been sleeping for decades, and his practice has not been fully revived. Before the 'Fifth Step' is born, these old antiques have no way to come out.

When the 'spiritual energy' of this era is not enough to support their 'inner vision' and 'supernatural powers'.

Then the magic power in them is not infinite.

Those who have achieved the fifth step of cultivation, have revealed their primordial spirit, and embarked on the journey to seek the realm of immortals and gods, are all immortals who have lived for hundreds or thousands of years.

Similarly, this experience, which was like a "living history", had already honed their "spirit" to an extremely terrifying degree.

If you step out of this cave where you live and establish yourself in the mortal world of the northwest region.

Even if it is like a sculpture, sitting quietly on the lotus platform, it does not move at all.

But every moment, the amount of 'spiritual energy' they consume is huge.

If you let yourself go without any money
Even if it is a flawless body, the soul can still move forward.

After a long time, it will become a rootless drifting wood, doomed to die.

In Longxiang Cave, there is no sun, moon or morning stars.

It looks like a "cave heaven foundation" built above the clouds.

All I saw were mountains that were all red, like burnt rocks, standing in an interlaced pattern, floating in the air above the red clouds, and their auras were connected.

At the very center, a building that looks like a "sacrificial temple" stands on the most majestic floating red mountain. The dome is woven with the spiritual breath of a flaming cloud, and the seal script of the word "dou" is interwoven.

Looking closely, one can see that the word "dou" is undergoing infinite changes. In an instant, it appears to be the shape of "tiansha longxiang tianguan grand sacrifice temple", which seems to show infinite mystery.

After the practitioner has achieved the primordial spirit, if he can obtain the "Tao Fruit" and achieve immortality, his rank among the eight divisions of the Heavenly Palace can be divided into "Star Lord, Heavenly Official, General".

Going further down, those who have not yet achieved merit, virtue, or the Tao have not yet been realized. They can only become followers of scattered immortals or earthly immortals, or scattered immortal officials, without any titles, which are similar to the best in the fifth step.

And this Tiansha Longxiang Tianguan
He is the immortal god of heaven worshipped by Longxiong Dongtian, and one of the 36 celestial officials of Doubu!

According to ancient records, in ancient times, there were three hundred temples throughout the northwest, and it was quite famous.

He serves under one of the Five Emperors of the Heavenly Palace, the 'Emperor of Ziwei in the Central Sky'.

He was a warrior of the Dou Department, and his rank was only below that of the Star Lord of the Dou Department. Therefore, the Longxiong Sect, having inherited and enlightened from him, had always been superior to others.

Floating on Chishan Mountain, in the great sacrificial hall.

Under the towering statue of 'Tiansha Longxiang Tianguan'!
The eyes of the Pi Beast Fairy Lamp on the left were as big as copper bells, and on the right, a Qi-Seeing Mirror was rippling, standing alone in the middle of the two objects, just like the scene Li Taxian had seen on the banks of the Wei River several years ago.

The founder of the Longxiong Sect, Chi Yuan, seemed to be sealed in silence, still sitting cross-legged in the center of the Dafa altar, wearing a water and fire gold-refining robe, with his hair tied up with a dragon and tiger hairpin, and a sword across his knees, with his eyes closed and motionless.

Apart from this, the entire Dongtian Mountain Gate with its endless strange sights seemed as if time had stopped. Apart from him, the ancestor, and various spiritual objects and spiritual breaths, there was not even a single extra living being.

Only this temple for worshiping the "immortals and gods" remains, with hundreds of red wooden tablets hanging from the beams.

Upon closer inspection, there is a "name" engraved in it, standing brightly in the wind, swaying and ringing like a wind chime from time to time, as if it contains the "spirit of a ghost" hidden in it.

Coupled with the motionless figure of the ancestor, who looked like a clay figurine, there was a sudden sense of creepiness for no apparent reason.

"Ok?"

Suddenly————

The clay-like Chi Yuan Patriarch moved.

At the same time, in the rippling mirror on his right, the figures of Chi Ming and Chi Xia, two real magicians of the Longxiong Sect, were slowly reflected.

This was exactly the disciple he had sent out before.

For a moment, as if he had anticipated something, Patriarch Chi Yuan slowly grasped the Liang Yi Sword in front of his knees, his eyes lowered:
"Although Chi Ming and Chi Xia are just the spirit bodies awakened by this ancestor, in this Northwest Territory, ordinary real people will have a hard time resisting them."

"In addition, the other old guys from the 'Three Sects and Two Factions' are all of the same blood as me. With the 'Dongtian Magic Envoys' sent by several sects working together, even if they are giants, it is impossible to wipe them out."

"What kind of accident happened?"

Chi Yuan murmured for a while, then with a wave of his sleeves, the two souls reflected in the 'magic mirror' broke free from their confusion and regained clarity.

In an instant, when the two Chi family masters, a man and a woman, saw the "kind-hearted" Patriarch Chi Yuan.

His eyes were filled with shock at first, but he soon realized what had happened to him, and his face turned extremely pale.

"Ancestor."

The two illusory figures bowed down and said:

"We are waiting. Our spirit bodies have fallen."

It seemed as if he knew his future fate. Perhaps, like the hundreds of "fellow disciples" hanging on the beams of this great sacrificial hall, he would never have the chance to "return to the world and take over another's body".

For a moment, the two looked ashen.

But then, thinking of Li Taxian's behavior and the sudden appearance of the 'Northern Emperor Sword and True Martial Armor', his eyes could not help but fill with rage.

Then, he told all the details of the outside world to the 'Chi Yuan Patriarch' in front of him.

"Ancestor, our defeat is not due to war."

"Not to mention that Li Taxian is just a mortal son with a pure soul. He is not the reincarnation of any emperor or celestial official who practices the 'world-retaining method'."

"But he dared to openly disobey and break the 'Weishui Agreement', making it impossible for us to bring back the 'reincarnation of Yuanjun', the Great Zhao Empress Luo Fuyao!"

"Not only that."

"he"

When the second master of the Chi family bowed down, Chi Xia bit her lower lip tightly, and recalled the scene that was engraved in her memory, almost indelible, comparable to the scene eight hundred years ago when she was killed by the 'World-Suppressing Taoist' and the whole world was destroyed. Her pretty face turned pale.

"He also obtained the 'Northern Emperor' Zhenwu, the peerless inheritance before he became an emperor!"

"He is in the Northwest Territory, and he is the one who can harness the power of the 'General Summoning the Spirits' and transform into a sword and armor that can transform into a tortoise and snake."

"We will definitely not make a mistake!" "He is just a 'Tianmen' who has inherited a little bit of the Emperor's charm. He is neither a reincarnation nor a disciple. How could he be recognized as the master of such a 'divine weapon and jade armor' and consume our spiritual bodies?!"

"Ancestor, our defeat is not due to war, I hope..."

The reincarnation of immortals and gods.

Zhenwu inheritance.

When these two key words came out from the mouth of the second real person of the Chi family who lost his composure for a moment.

Chi Yuan suddenly clenched the Liang Yi Sword tightly, his eyes were gleaming with brilliance, and he was so shocked that half of his body slowly sat up. Then he pondered for a moment, interrupted the two people's conversation, and suddenly said:
"The reincarnation of Yuan Jun, Luo Fuyao."

"Zhenwu Mantle, Li Taxian?"

"hiss"

His red brows knitted tightly together, and after a while, a trace of apology flowed out:
"Chi Ming, Chi Xia, how long have you been following this master?"

Hearing about this long forgotten ancestor, it suddenly became more "human".

Chi Ming and Chi Xia looked at each other, not only were they not moved, but instead seemed to have foreshadowed something. They were silent at first, then their lips trembled, and they both bowed their heads:
"Ancestor."

"If we don't count the eight hundred years that the cave was sealed, we have been practicing with the Longxiong Sect for a full four hundred years."

"But, we two are the only remaining disciples of the Longxiong Sect. We once served the master. Master, Chi Ming and Chi Xia, we would like to continue to kowtow to you for another four hundred years. Is that possible?"

The two of them unconsciously spoke with a hint of pleading.

But in return, Patriarch Chi Yuan slowly raised his hand and touched the smooth mirror on that side.

His expression gradually softened:

"Longxiong Cave Heaven has not been replenished with spiritual energy for 'eight hundred years'. Even though it is the 'inner scene' transformed from the debris of the sky, it is called the 'mortal-level cave heaven', but it has no external absorption. Even though I am a seeker of the law."

"There aren't many magical powers left."

Chi Yuan thought of the "World-Suppressing Daoist Son" who appeared out of nowhere at the end of the spiritual tide eight hundred years ago.
The "three sects and two schools" in the northwest, or the entire Zhonghuantian, were suppressed, and no one who practiced the "ascension method" could absorb the last spiritual tide and replenish themselves.
When he was finally forced to seal up his own cave, a trace of sadness and anger flashed across his eyes.

Eight hundred years.

He watched his disciples grow old and turn into dry bones, but there was nothing he could do.

He was even forced to do so. At the last moment, in order to ensure that his soul would survive and not fall from grace, he had to reluctantly transform the bodies of his disciples into nutrients to sustain his own existence, hoping to be reborn in the next spiritual tide.
Unconsciously, a gloom appeared between his brows:
"Back then, if it weren't for that 'stubborn' fool, who risked his own life and cultivation to drag us down with him to bury our clans, it wouldn't have come to this!"

Since the collapse of the sky, the "law of cause and effect" that governs the world has disappeared, and the "innate ancestral vein" that provides for the world has been damaged.
This "Zhonghuantian" sky was uncontrollably heading towards destruction.

Not to mention the Northwest, Jiangnan, Central Plains, and other mundane places.

Even those former emperors, star kings, celestial officials, and generals.
Long ago, we tried every possible way, but there was no way to save the situation. We even split into two factions due to ideological differences, one was practicing the "worldly method" and the other was practicing the "ascension method"!
Almost all immortals and gods, as well as subsequent seekers of the Dharma, share a common idea.

That is, without the constant supply of spiritual energy, this world will become increasingly desolate, and will eventually perish completely. This is a foregone conclusion.

It has become an indisputable fact that we can achieve the merit of a celestial being before the limited spiritual tide is completely exhausted, step out of this rotten ship that has long been overwhelmed, and go to the 'Boundless Void' to search for a new sky.

This "Zhonghuantian" has long since been reduced from a place of spiritual cultivation to an abandoned place where everyone flees.

Except for a few people like 'Emperor Zhenwu', there are still some powerful people who have not given up trying to save this 'ruined boat'.

All the great masters and supreme Taoists above the sky are practicing hard, striving to become immortals and leave before Zhonghuantian is completely overwhelmed!
They would even transform into 'mortal bodies' and endure the ups and downs of the spiritual tide for endless years.

They also want to tightly lock onto their "achievements" and not want to reveal even a single bit of them to return to the world. Even when they see their "comrades" showing weakness, they will want to attack and kill them in order to fill their own void.

Even the Taoist master who had accomplished such great deeds was seeking promotion, not to mention the many seekers of the Dharma who were still on the road.

As a result, eight hundred years ago, a "freak" appeared!
Moreover, he is ridiculously powerful, and can even defeat and kill the ancestor's spirit. His power is almost as strong as that of the 'Eight Chiefs, Supreme Star Lord'!
As a result, the spiritual tide of that generation all dispersed back to the heaven and earth, and remained in this era, erupting again. It has only been a short time since it was revived, and it has been able to give birth to a real person, or even higher. If this continues
It can almost support several immortals and gods!

anyway.

He, Chi Yuan, will seize the end of this era and gain immortality. Otherwise, when the great destruction comes at an unknown time, small fish and shrimps like them may not be able to survive.
There really isn't even the slightest chance of saving his life!

Thinking of this, he sighed continuously, and while grasping the remaining spiritual energy of the two disciples, he opened his mouth and inhaled, then said with pain:

"Don't worry, you two!"

"Wait until his Japanese ancestor picks the 'immortal fruit'."

"I will make you return to the cycle of reincarnation and go to the heavenly way. Everyone can cultivate their primordial spirit and look forward to the road of immortals and gods!"

The two of them were originally in a state without flesh and blood.

This time, his spirit, soul and Dharma body were wiped out by 'Li Taxian' again. If he wanted to save them, he had to use a lot of strength. But Chi Yuan couldn't even protect himself, so how could he have such great magical powers?
Plan for today.

Only by refining these two disciples in an instant and extracting the last scene from their memories can he see it clearly.
What on earth did Li Taxian do?
It is also good to avenge this vengeance for the disciples in the future!
For a time,

In the sacrificial temple of 'Tiansha Longxiang Tianguan', hundreds of wooden soul tablets swayed on the beams.

There were plaques engraved with the words "Ming" and "Xia" mixed in with the light, which dimmed a lot in an instant.

Taoist Chi Yuan's whole body was full of 'spirit', he closed his eyes and said nothing, until he traced back everything that happened in the 'Great Yin Palace' from the depths of his memory, he suddenly shouted:
"This"

"It is suspected to be the reincarnation of Bixuan Yuanjun and the earthly lineage of Emperor Zhenwu"

"Two great masters who have 'reincarnated as warriors' have revealed their back-up plans. Could it be that this 'resurrection of the spirit tide' is really the best chance in thousands of years?"

"But no matter what the calculation is!"

"If I can achieve even a tiny bit of the achievements of these two, it will be enough for me to have a chance to rival the ancestors!"

In an instant, Chi Yuan bit his finger and bled, and wrote a "letter of escape"!
"Dragon Lord of the West Sea, Mysterious Talisman, Heavenly Fire, Thick Earth."

"The three sects and two schools must have figured out the details of that kid!"

"Let's just endure for a few more years. When the spiritual energy becomes stronger and can carry the peak of the real person, we will attack together. Even if it means sacrificing our cultivation, we must bring this 'achievement' back to the cave heaven!"

Whoosh!
He just muttered to himself, and the escape book had already turned into light and disappeared from the 'Longxiong Sect', entered the mortal world, and escaped into the mountains and rivers of the Five States, and various caves and mountains!
Immediately afterwards, Chi Yuan closed his eyes, as if falling into a deep sleep.
Hundreds of days and nights passed in a flash, until————

This day.

Tongyezhou, the birthplace of Dazhao.
Outside Tongye Mansion.

A mountain surrounded by clouds and mist, once locked by a formation, as if entering a half-empty cave, the 'Nirvana Mountain'.
Suddenly there was a tremor!

This caused wars among the two states and ten prefectures. Many newly promoted sects, as well as Li Xuanzong, who was sealed off to one side and was the closest, and was known as the 'Master of the Ten Absolute Passes', were all alarmed and came to investigate.

And then in a moment.

It was a letter to the Ninth Heaven!

Calling the capital, stamping one's feet
It can make the five states and prefectures turn over and become a towering "giant".
Wake up slowly! (End of this chapter)
