Immortality begins by swallowing the stars
Chapter 156 The Suspicion of the Monster Emperor
Chapter 156 The suspicion of the demon emperor
Yuanzhou City, the Zhao Mansion of the God and Demon Clan.
Zhao Ling walked expressionlessly through the martial arts training ground and towards the ancestral home amid the numerous glances and whispers from the young family members.
"Zhao Ling? Didn't he stay in the Taoist Academy during the day? Why did he come back?"
"Hey, he was summoned by the clan leader. I heard from my third uncle that the clan leader and all the elders are a little dissatisfied and plan not to provide him with the Hemerocallis fulva and the Qianshui Fruit."
"When Zhao Ling joined the Jianhe Taoist Academy five years ago and became a disciple of gods and demons, even his ancestors personally responded to the letter and received a much higher treatment than the direct disciples. He even said that when he started Reborn will be given the Spirit Hemerocallis and the Transparent Thousand Silk Fruit.”
"Alas, in fact, he should have left that Jianhe Taoist Academy a long time ago. Being ranked among the five top Taoist temples is just to give face to that god and demon master. He is said to have seven major sword techniques, but he doesn't even have secret skills. This god and demon disciple It’s worse than me.”
"Hush, it's not our place to comment on the gods and demons..."
"Let me tell you, since he has become a disciple of such a powerful god and demon, the treasures and elixirs needed for rebirth should not be provided by the family..."
Zhao Ling turned a deaf ear to the soft or joking discussions behind him and quickly walked into the Chongming Hall in his ancestral home.
"Father?...I have met the clan leader."
After Zhao Ling saluted respectfully to a middle-aged man with an astonishing face, he glanced doubtfully at his father Zhao Mian, who looked worried.
The middle-aged man looked arrogant, frowned slightly, and pursed his lips slightly: "Zhao Ling, you are fifteen years old this year, and you still haven't mastered the secret skills. Several elders are willing to give you Ling Hemerocallis and Tongming Qiansi Fruit. They all have opinions on how to get out of the body.
"But I can give you another chance. In ten days, there will be the Demon Slaying Festival. If you cannot get the top ten in the Marrow Cleansing Realm at the Demon Slaying Festival, then I can only take back the Ling Hemerocallis and the Tongming Qiansi Fruit. , the supply of elixirs to you will also be reduced accordingly."
"Moreover, many talented people have emerged in the clan in recent years. The rise of our Zhao family is short-lived. We are not those powerful families of gods and demons. Our resources are limited. You must be more considerate." The middle-aged man turned to look at Zhao Ling's father. Zhao Mian said calmly.
Zhao Ling sneered in his heart when he saw this. The head of the Zhao family is the only direct grandson of the Zhao family's ancestor of gods and demons. He is extremely favored and has always been very partial in his actions. He has invested most of the family's resources in the descendants of the family leader. There are very few resources available to side branches like them.
If he hadn't become the dean of the Jianhe Taoist Academy five years ago and even alerted the ancestors of the gods and demons of the Great Sun Realm who were stationed in other cities, he would have received preferential resources and even promised to give him precious treasures when he started to reborn. Curiosities.
It is said that he has not yet mastered the secret skill at the age of fifteen, but the question is, how many people in the Yuanzhou City of Nuozhou can master the secret skill before the age of fifteen, and how many people can reach the unity state of their skills?
However, this also aroused the anxiety that he had been suppressing in his heart.
After leaving the ancestral home, Chongming Hall, Zhao Mian sighed with a solemn expression: "The Ninth Young Master realized the situation of power yesterday. The clan leader will probably invest most of his resources on the Ninth Young Master, so he decided not to give you Ling Hemerocallis and Tong Ming Qian Si." After all, these two rare treasures are worth hundreds of thousands of taels."
As for getting ranked among the top ten in the Marrow Cleansing Realm at the Demon Slaying Festival, it is completely impossible to achieve. Even Jianhe Taoist Academy may not participate in the Demon Slaying Festival this time, after all, they have never sent anyone to participate before.
Zhao Ling looked calm. The so-called Ninth Young Master was the ninth son of the clan leader. The clan leader had many wives and concubines and many children.
Ninth Young Master is eighteen years old this year. He has completed his rebirth and reached the realm of no leakage.
At this time, if you realize the power, you can still participate in the entrance examination of Yuanchu Mountain twice. Even if you can't enter Yuanchu Mountain, you can still join Yuanchu Mountain's Yuanzhou Branch and become an outer disciple, and you will have the potential to be a god or demon in the future.
"But the most important thing is still here." Zhao Mian frowned and said: "Although the dean of Jianhe Taoist Academy is a master of gods and demons, but... you have been meditating all day long on the swordsmanship you learned, and you didn't even teach you the secret skills of the One-Style-Unity Realm. Is there any martial art in the world that does not require learning secret techniques?
"If this continues, I'm afraid you won't be able to reach the state of unity in your skills in another two years...
"If I had known this, I shouldn't have allowed you to leave Qifeng Taoist Academy and go to Jianhe Taoist Academy five years ago!
"It's a pity that you have already become a disciple and cannot transfer to other Taoist temples..."
Zhao Mian felt regretful in his heart. He was so proud and happy about his son five years ago, but now he is so upset.
And there is no regret medicine to take.
After all, his son has become the disciple of the dean of Jianhe Taoist Academy. If he dares to withdraw from Jianhe Taoist Academy, he will definitely offend the dean of the Taoist Academy.
I heard that the dean of the Jianhe Taoist Academy is still a god and demon in the Great Sun Realm. Even if Zhao Ling wants to transfer to another Taoist Academy, the head of the Zhao family and the elders will never allow it.
Zhao Ling's future is a small matter, but offending a god and demon in the Great Sun Realm is a big deal.
"The swordsmanship taught by master is different!" Zhao Ling said firmly.
Even though he has not learned a single secret technique yet, Zhao Ling still firmly believes in the mystery of the sword techniques taught by his master.
Because every time he meditates on the sword arts written by his master on the day he became a disciple five years ago, he can sense an extremely mysterious artistic conception.
The artistic conception was beyond what he could describe in words.
Even if Zhao Ling wanted to write down the sword tactics written down in that diary, he couldn't do it.
It seems that the sword formula cannot be spoken or put on paper, but is purely a carrier of a mysterious artistic conception.
At first, the artistic conception was extremely subtle and obscure to him, difficult to perceive, understand, and fathom.
But as he meditated again and again, the artistic conception became clearer and clearer, and he became more and more understandable.
It's just that he has never been able to display that mysterious artistic conception with his sword.
It seems like something is missing.
But Zhao Ling, who firmly believed in the mystery of the swordsmanship taught by his master, was still a little excited and anxious when he thought about the monster-slaying event ten days later.
Of course he also wants to participate in the monster slaying event and kill the monsters himself.
But the mysterious artistic conception in his mind cannot be displayed at all. If he really wants to fight, let alone kill monsters, even a person in the Marrow Cleansing Realm who has learned a few and a half moves will be stronger than him.
……
Lu House.
Wang Wan looked through the window at the two children, one large and one small, sitting cross-legged and meditating in the room, and couldn't help complaining: "Taoist students in the world have to start practicing skills from the secret skills. It is unheard of for a Taoist school not to teach any secret skills. , do you really want to continue to delay You'er and Qiu'er?"
Lu Qian chuckled, "Why are you so anxious? You'er is only ten years old, and Qiu'er is only seven years old. And I always have a strange feeling about the dean of Jianhe Taoist Academy. This person is anything but simple."
"He established a Taoist temple for a god and demon in the Great Sun Realm. In the past five years, he has only accepted seven disciples. He has not accepted any of the others. It is said to be the Taoist temple with the fewest students in the world. Although he behaves strangely, it is definitely not to delay a few ordinary people. Let’s wait and see for the next two years about the young man’s future…”
"And..." Lu Qian said seriously: "If I really delay You'er and Qiu'er in two or three years, I will also let the two children transfer to other Taoist temples.
"Other families are afraid of offending the dean of the Jianhe Taoist Academy, but I, the Lu family, are not afraid. Even though Ajing's reputation has faded in recent years, he is still a prodigy in this world and has a bright future. He cannot be compared to a god or demon in the Great Sun Realm."
Wang Wan nodded: "In recent years, there have been very few demon kings attacking the city in the Zhou Dynasty. It has been thirteen years since Ajing entered Yuanchu Mountain. I heard that he became a god and demon seven years ago. With Ajing's His talent has reached the level of gods and demons in the Great Sun Realm, but he hasn’t come down yet for some reason.”
Lu Qian shook his head slightly, with a worried look on his face: "Ajing is so well-known and extremely talented that ordinary people can understand the realm of meaning. Now the demon clan has settled down, just because they are afraid of the Sword Master, Dongning Marquis and others. This powerful god and demon has not been wiped out. The demon kings are still lurking in our human world.
"If A Jing goes down the mountain, he will definitely attract the attention of the demon clan and the Tianyao Sect.
“There are quite a lot of fourth-level demon kings among the lurking demon kings now. Even if they encounter gods and demons in the Great Sun Realm, they will hardly be able to protect themselves.
"Perhaps Yuanchu Mountain wants Ajing to become a lord god and demon before going down the mountain.
"I hope A Jing comes down the mountain as late as possible..."
……
<divclass="contentadv">Jianhe Daoyuan, Wenxin Pavilion.
Lu Jing stepped out of the void.
"Well, this Void Suppressing World Bell is indeed a Tribulation Realm secret treasure. Even if it can only display the first level of mystery, it will be of great use, allowing me to understand the mysteries of the void at a deep level. I am afraid that Master will use this Tribulation Realm secret treasure. This is what was given to me.”
Lu Jing's eyes were deep: "In addition, the moon mirror changes the flow of time, allowing me to understand a little bit of the mystery of time. These two rare treasures are not only extremely powerful combat auxiliary treasures, but also extremely precious cultivation treasures for emperors and below.
"Without these two rare treasures, it would be difficult for my swordsmanship to reach the level of Dharma Realm in just five years."
Whether it is the Yuan Shen attack in the Moon Watching Domain or the rules of the Cave Heaven Realm created by the Star Calamity Sword Formation, these are all bonuses from foreign objects, and the Star Calamity Sword Formation cannot be revealed easily unless it is absolutely necessary.
Lu Jing's own realm is still the realm of law, and has not exceeded the boundaries of kings, gods and demons.
"It's been five years. If my disciples hadn't been lazy, it would have been time to accept the second inheritance of artistic conception. However, Zhiqiu is still too young and his soul is not strong enough..."
Lu Jing's thoughts arose and he said softly: "Azhu, ask the six disciples Zhao Ling, Mu Qingyu, Shi Yu, Luo Xiwu, Jiang Hao and Lu Zhiyou to come in."
After a while, the charming woman brought the six young men in.
The six disciples saluted respectfully, waiting for Lu Jing's instructions with calm or confused expressions.
Except for the youngest seventh disciple Lu Zhiqiu, all the other disciples are here. The youngest Lu Zhiyou is ten years old, and the oldest disciple Zhao Ling is fifteen years old.
"It seems that the Yuanzhou City Demon Slaying Festival will be held in ten days?" Lu Jing's voice was calm.
Hearing this, the six disciples became excited and excited.
There are hundreds of Taoist temples in Yuanzhou City. For every demon-slaying event, each Taoist temple can only send three disciples to each of the marrow-cleansing realm and the reborn realm.
The five top Taoist academies with gods and demons each have ten places in the Marrow Cleansing Realm and the Rebirth Realm.
However, the reputation of Jianhe Taoist Temple, one of the top five Taoist temples, is entirely supported by the dean, Lu Jing.
In the past five years, no one has been recruited, and there are only seven students, all of whom are apprenticed to Lu Jing.
According to the quota allocation rules of Yuanzhou Branch of Yuanchu Mountain, Jianhe Taoist Academy can bring all seven disciples to participate in every demon-slaying event.
However, Jianhe Taoist Academy had not sent any disciples to participate before.
The reason is simple. None of the seven disciples have fighting ability, so how can they participate?If you force yourself to participate, you will only end up feeding the monsters.
The eldest disciple, Zhao Ling, showed excitement, but then he had some doubts: "Master, although the sword technique you taught us is mysterious and unpredictable, we have not been able to bring out its artistic conception so far, let alone follow the secret technique of the Union Realm. Compared with the elites of other Taoist schools, even the ordinary disciples of other Taoist schools are probably more powerful than us..."
Lu Jing smiled lightly and said: "You have been meditating for the past five years, and I am very pleased to be my master. Now I can teach you the other half of the sword skills, and you will naturally be able to use the sword skills by then."
How can the swordsmanship he derived from his own life-and-death swordsmanship be comparable to ordinary swordsmanship?
It is no less impressive than the Black Iron Book of Secrets recorded on the meteorite iron by the ancestors of the human race.
The true meaning of such a level of secret knowledge is difficult to teach in words, otherwise it would not be necessary to use meteorite iron to cast the Black Iron Book of Secrets to pass down the secret knowledge.
The seven sword skills he had previously taught to his disciples were actually no less than the inheritance of the Black Iron Book.
It's just that the secrets in the Black Iron Book are mysterious and unpredictable, and it's difficult for ordinary gods and demons to pry into the secrets.
If you want to fully accept the inheritance of the artistic conception of the Black Iron Heavenly Book, you must have the soul, or you can only try to understand the practice through the secret books recorded in words and pictures.
The seven disciples he accepted obviously had no soul.
Therefore, Lu Jing could only split the inheritance of the unique artistic conception into two times, and let the disciples slowly perceive the artistic conception through meditation.
If it weren't for the magic of the Moon Watching Mirror, it would be difficult for Lu Jing to pass on the true meaning of his secret knowledge to his disciples without the help of the Black Iron Book.
And even with the assistance of Hope Moon Mirror, doing so will consume the source of the soul and is not replicable.
Under the excited eyes of the six disciples, Lu Jing activated the Moon Moon Domain with a thought, preparing to pass on the true meaning to his disciples for the last time.
……
Deep in the West Sea, there is a small cave hidden under the seabed.
Jiuyuan Demon Saint lowered his eyes and looked at the two grey-haired old men in front of him, a man and a woman, and said: "Chi Dan, Qian Du, you can make such sacrifices for our demon clan when your life span is about to expire. Naturally, the emperor will not Your loyalty will be forgotten, your descendants have been taken to Demon Ancestor Mountain, and the credit for this operation can also be transferred to your descendants."
The two old men, a man and a woman, looked at each other and said in unison: "I follow the instructions of the Demon Saint. However, when we came in from Yanshui Pass, the blood and hair left over from the battle with the Yanshui King were captured by the Human Race Venerable who arrived right after. get.
"As long as we appear in the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Yuanchu Mountain will be able to sense our two positions. I am afraid that we will be stopped and killed by the human race venerable before we reach Yuanzhou City."
Jiuyuan Demon Saint smiled and said: "Although there is only one treasure that can shield the induction of cause and effect. The Great Demon King Cangqiu was killed by the human god and demon known as the 'Sword Master', but this time there is a demon from the Heavenly Demon Sect." The deputy sect leader will cooperate with your actions, so you can rest assured that you will not be stopped by the human lord."
Deputy sect leader of Tianyao Sect?
Chi Dan and Qian Du, the two fifth-level demon kings, looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.
The Heavenly Demons of the Heavenly Demon Sect are divided into seven lines, and there are currently fourteen fourth-level Heavenly Demons.
There are only two fifth-level heavenly demons, namely the sect master and the deputy sect master.
This deputy sect leader is extremely famous. The principal and deputy palace lords of the Blackwater Palace, Xuanwei Palace, and Youluo Palace who are responsible for the affairs of the Tianyao Sect of the Great Zhou Dynasty are all his disciples.
If the two great demon kings of the fifth level were in a state of obeying orders but not the announcement, then the two great demons of the heavenly demon sect were simply collaborators of the Jiuyuan Demon Saint.
Jiuyuan Demon Saint can actually drive the deputy master of Tianyao Sect to take risks?
"As soon as you arrive at Yuanzhou City, kill my blood descendant who is controlled by the human race! Bloodbath Yuanzhou City!"
Jiuyuan Demon Saint was full of murderous intent: "Because of the powerful human race such as Dongning Marquis and Sword Saint God Demon, the Demon King has made few achievements in the Great Zhou Dynasty in the past five years. The Great Zhou Dynasty is actually more powerful than the Eleven Even before we gave up on small and medium-sized cities a few years ago, we still need peace and tranquility!
"I haven't returned to my peak state yet. I'm afraid the final battle will have to wait for another seven years or so. But before that, we can't just let the human race live such a comfortable life. The population lost during the Great Migration has almost been replenished in the past few years. !
"Since the human race dares to control my blood descendants to guard Yuanzhou City, then let's attack Yuanzhou City and teach the human race a bloody lesson!
"Of course, killing my blood descendant and massacring the human race are only secondary tasks. The rescue missions in Yuanzhou, Anzhou and other states should be for the 'Sword Master' god and demon. This time your mission is to wait for the 'Sword Master' 'When the gods and demons rescued Yuanzhou City, they tried to find out his true identity!"
Although the two fifth-level demon kings Chi Dan and Qian Du didn't know why Jiuyuan Demon Saint paid so much attention to the mysterious 'Sword Master', they had already agreed to take action anyway, so they all nodded in unison.
After Chi Dan and Qian Du, the last two fifth-level demon kings currently lurking in the human world, left, Jiuyuan Demon Saint turned around and walked into the cave and entered a secret room.
Jiuyuan Demon Saint saluted respectfully to a man in golden armor: "Messenger, I have arranged your instructions. With the abilities of Chi Dan and Qian Du, they should be able to find out the details of the 'Sword Saint'. .”
The murderous intention that Jiuyuan Demon Saint had before in front of the two fifth-level demon kings has completely disappeared at this moment.
"Then the identity of the 'Sword Saint' god and demon is so important?" Jiuyuan Demon Saint asked doubtfully.
It had no idea that the puppet messenger attached to the emperor's thoughts would also come to the human world and arrange this task.
If it weren't for this 'Emperor's Messenger', the remaining two fifth-level demon kings who were frightened because the Cangqiu Great Demon King was killed by the human race's 'Sword Master' five years ago would never have been able to obey its orders. To invade the big human city.
"Yes." The man in golden armor nodded and said: "If the true identity of the mysterious human race king, god and demon is really as I guessed, I am afraid that the future action plan will have to be changed."
