Rebirth of Adorable Immortal Journey

Xiao Ran didn't know much about the patriarch Chongfa.

But it's no wonder that this ancestor has retreated for nearly a hundred years, not to mention Lu Xiaoran who is far away in the far west, even the disciples of the Qingyu Sect, many of them have never even met this ancestor.

Xiao Ran only heard that Chongfa had a weird temper and didn't like to socialize with others. Even if he didn't retreat, he always stayed in the cave and couldn't come out easily.

The grand events of the Qingyu Sect for nearly a hundred years, including the Jade Holding Ceremony where Immortal Hanjing became the head of the Sapphire Sect, the Ceremony for the marriage of Immortal Hanwei, and the Ceremony for Transforming Gods of Qiao Heng, did not wait for this uncle.

This year is the 30-year Dao Discussion Dharma Conference, hosted by Qingyumen, and the ancestor has never been seen.

Chongfa originally lived alone in the unnamed cave in Moxun Mountain, but later moved to the palace on the back peak of the main peak. He was alone and should not have visitors.

Master Hanjing often went to pay his respects, but he could only stand in the hall, and finally returned without success.

Probably this old ancestor was too quiet, if he wasn't capable of transforming gods, probably everyone in Qingyumen would almost forget that there is still a master uncle in their family who is still alive.

Qiao Heng didn't like to talk about elders in the first place, Xiao Ran was too busy practicing every day, raising cats, and teasing sword repair (fog), so he didn't take the initiative to ask about the matter of worshiping the law.

When the thunder clouds were assembled, Xiao Ran followed Qiao Heng and defended the formation in the southeast direction. He was still pondering that this was the first time he was protecting the law for someone he didn't know at all.

Looking at Qiao Heng's face, Xiao Ran was sure that he was really worried about this uncle, so he couldn't help but pay close attention to the thunder clouds in the sky.

I saw the dark clouds that chose to cover the sky and kept rolling, and purple light shuttled through the clouds, showing a ferocious momentum, as if it couldn't wait to tilt down.

This scene alone is probably enough to make one's heart shattered and heart-stirring.

——It’s no wonder that some people will be shaken because of other people’s tribulation... Seeing this kind of scene, no matter how resolute the heart is, I’m afraid it will be more or less affected...

If someone else was going through the catastrophe, everyone would have thought of a way to escape early on.But now it happened to be his own master's uncle Du Jie, and all the masters of Qingyu Sect couldn't stay out of it because of emotion and reason.

Even Daoist Hanxing, who had just left the customs, had to protect the formation for advocating the Fa, otherwise the label of "disrespecting the teacher" would be taken off.

To be honest, from Xiao Ran's point of view, it was a waste of effort to protect the formation, and everyone could only stand by and worry.

The one who really decides the success of crossing the catastrophe is always only the person under the thunder cloud.

Xiao Ran pondered silently in his heart, since this patriarch has been in seclusion for so long, logically speaking, he should have prepared well, and now he is inside the gate, safe and comfortable, without any worries.

Let's look at the two senior brothers of Chongfa, Chongming and Chongxuan, both of them have made breakthroughs and become Taoists, maybe the ancestor Chongfa is no exception?

But when the thunder calamity came and the thunder was deafening, Xiao Ran realized that he was thinking too easily.

To break through the tribulation by turning into a god, one needs to withstand six or nine thunderstorms. The interval between each thunderstorm can be long or short, which is a test of one's will.

If there is a moment of negligence in the middle, and the sky thunder takes advantage of the loophole, it may be a catastrophe.

The tribulation thunder looked the same at first, but as time passed, its power increased layer by layer, but it fell faster and faster, and there were ominous dark lines.

Come down early, finish early...sometimes it's not a good thing.

Xiao Ran experienced four or nine thunder calamities when he was conceived back then, and later saw others go through calamities, so he was considered well-informed. Seeing the dark lines at this time, he couldn't help frowning—could it be... there is a demon in his heart for worshiping the Fa? !

Not only him, but other people also saw this vision, and their hearts suddenly tightened and felt uneasy.

There are many obstacles on the road of cultivating immortals, and the inner demon is the most difficult obstacle.

Because once it arises, it will circulate forever and change at any time. It is difficult to get rid of it completely.

And the heart demon is quite mysterious.

Some people never meet demons in their whole life, while others have demons because of little things.

It's not that people who do evil are easy to produce, but people who do good are not easy to produce, and it is impossible to infer according to common sense.

A treacherous person who kills without blinking an eye, he is used to doing evil for pleasure in his heart, so naturally he will not give birth to demons because of killing thousands of people.

And a good person may not be disturbed by demons all his life because of his open mind, but he may also be born with demons because of some helpless situations that cannot be saved.

It's like when Xiao Ran sacrificed himself to lure away the Sun Devouring Python in Lieyang Immortal Island, if he fails to return safely in the end, talking about assimilation will be remembered for a lifetime... As for whether he will give birth to a demon, no one knows.

If there are traces to follow, then the inner demon will no longer be scary.

Unfortunately, things backfired, this thing can't be controlled by itself at all, and no one can guarantee that he will not be free from demons for the rest of his life.

The current situation of the patriarch Chongfa is obviously in the process of crossing the catastrophe, and at the same time he has to face the disturbance of inner demons. This is simply a life-or-death struggle.

Whether or not he succeeds in crossing the tribulation this time will have an extremely significant impact on the balance of power in the entire Taoist sect, so it has attracted much attention.

Looking at the immortal sects of Daoxiu in the Central Plains, the most powerful ones are naturally the two sects and the four sects.

Qingyumen, which has two ancestors of Huashen, performed stably, and its strength has always been good;

Although the Shoushan Sword Sect now has only one Huashen, it has many powerful swordsmen. Since Lie Yang, it has added four Jindan and one Nascent Soul. ;

Jin Tingmen refines weapons, Yulingzong controls beasts, this is a kind of strengthening of one's own strength, of course it should not be underestimated;

Compared with other sects, Xiandingmen and Qixuanmen are indeed weaker, so they set their sights on Patriarch Qiao, hoping to strengthen their relationship through marriage and ensure the status of the sect.

There are also prominent families such as the Lu family in Shanzhong, the Qiao family in Taihu Lake, and the Xu family in Shuzhong, each of which is inextricably related to the two schools and four schools, and also occupies a place in the Central Plains.

In addition, there are countless small sects, clinging to these great sects, and uniting into an intricate network of forces.

A delicate balance has been formed between them temporarily. Although there is still competition, everyone still gets along very "happily and harmoniously" on the surface.

A Nascent Soul might not be able to change this situation.

But a Huashen or Daoist will definitely change immediately.

Since the start of the Demon Dao War, the great powers who once dominated the Central Plains have fallen one after another, and in the end only the Taoist Pengyang in the far west is left as a great power in the tribulation period.

Now that he worships the law and crosses the calamity, if he succeeds in being promoted, it means that the Qingyumen, which originally had two ancestors of the God of Transformation, has become a Taoist and a sword of the God of Transformation, and can overwhelm the Shoushan Sword in an instant. Zong Fengmang.

But if the Fa-respecting fails, Qingyumen will lose a Huashen, and the strength will not only fall to the end of the second sect and four sects, but the throne of the largest sect in the Central Plains may be handed over to others.

……

Even if they were anxious in their hearts, everyone in Qingyumen could only wait quietly - in the face of the non-stop, frequent descending divine thunder, others could not help at all.

As for the inner demon, it is up to him to fight... Whether he can survive it depends on whether Chongfa can persevere until the end.

Although he couldn't see Xu Xing's situation at this moment, Xiao Ran could guess that he should not be having a good time at the moment.

Not long after they entered Lieyang, Master Xuxing who returned to Tianzhu Peak began to retreat and break through.

If he succeeds in breaking through this time, the realm of Yuan Ying's later stage will be extremely stable, which means that the next breakthrough will be to cross the thunder calamity and become a god of transformation.

Unfortunately, his luck was not very good, and the breakthrough failed in the end.

Although it won't fall to the realm, but if you want to return to the peak state before, I'm afraid it will take five or ten years to slowly recuperate.

This is also why his attitude towards Xu Changyue is not as tough as before - the gap between him and Qiao Heng is getting bigger and bigger... Naturally, he doesn't have enough confidence to speak.

This time the patriarch worshiped the law and the situation was so dangerous, it was not a good omen for Xu Xing, who was protecting the formation.

He was still recuperating at this time, if he failed in upholding the law and crossing the catastrophe, and Dao Xiao died, it would be a great blow to Xu Xing's state of mind.

It's like a person who is seriously ill and sees others struggling with similar illnesses.

The impact is absolutely earth-shaking.

But Xiao Ran would not curse the Fa-worshiping patriarch for his failure in crossing the catastrophe just to shake Xu Xing's mood.

Because looking at Qiao Heng's appearance, I am afraid that he has no feelings for this uncle whom he has not seen for many years.

"Don't worry, Patriarch Chongfa will definitely survive." Xiao Ran shook Qiao Heng's hand.

Although the other party stared at the thunder cloud in the sky without turning his head, he shook him back forcefully, as if he had listened to Xiao Ran's words in his heart.

Heavenly Tribulation is originally the restriction of the Dao of Heaven on tyrannical individuals.

Each divine thunder contains enormous power, as if it wants to completely envelop the person who crosses the tribulation in the thunder and lightning, completely obliterating them.

Xiao Ran could even feel the painful struggle of the patriarch Chongfa against the catastrophe, and couldn't help but think of himself when he was going through the catastrophe.

At that time, he was not yet in charge of the Luluo Palace, but he was already well-known in the Far West. Apart from his excellent talent, there were also some reasons for Bai Xucheng.

Because Bai Xucheng was already called "His Royal Highness" and could be called his friend, how could Lu Xiaoran be an idler?

Before breaking through Yuanying, Bai Xucheng offered to protect him, but Lu Xiaoran refused.

At that time, his thinking was very simple, nothing more than feeling that he had to bear the whole process of the thunder disaster by himself, and there was no need to owe others favors for it.

But when I really crossed the catastrophe, I still felt a little uneasy in my heart.

It seems that there seems to be only pain and suffering in the world.

Although he has always been alone, with no family and few friends, it is reasonable to say that he should not be afraid of this sudden loneliness, but when he actually experienced it, his heart suddenly became weak, and he almost couldn't bear the pain of supporting alone.

For Lu Xiaoran back then, the physical pain was not as difficult as imagined...

What really made him almost unable to get over it was the suffocating isolation and helplessness.

This feeling, even thinking about it now, is terrifying.

Qiao Heng quickly noticed the strangeness of Xiao Ran, he thought that Xiao Ran was frightened by the 72 thunders, so he stood beside him, his tall figure almost covered the young man in his arms.

That state is not a state of complete protection, it seems to only give him a support, but it is enough to give him strength.

With such a small movement, Xiao Ran's heart suddenly calmed down, and the Nine Heavens Tribulation Thunder could no longer affect him in the slightest.

——If he experiences the thunder tribulation again, he might not be so lonely... At least there is a little guy who is not weaned, and a boring but reliable big guy, who will wait for him to be reborn after the calamity!

The thunder came down one by one, with a battle that seemed to raze the Chongyang ancestor's cave to the ground, and the frequency became faster and faster, and each one was more powerful than the other, and everyone's hearts became more and more nervous.

Just when Xiao Ran felt that the ancestor might be in danger, a burst of powerful force suddenly erupted in the cave, as if a person who had gone through calamities was going to put all his eggs in one basket, so he made a final effort.

The dark pattern in the air still exists, but that force is always strong, as if it represents the unyielding will of the people in the cave.

As the last nine divine thunders poured down, the entire back peak of Qingyu Peak seemed to be shrouded in thunder, which was very frightening.

There was only a loud bang, and the last thunderbolt splashed everywhere, and the coercion in the cave was instantly released, spreading throughout the entire Qingyu Peak, making it almost unbearable for those surrounding Jindan.

At that moment, a dazzling beam of light rushed out of the cave, dispelling the dark clouds in the sky.

Afterwards, a gorgeous glow appeared in the sky, and from a distance, the cave of Chongyang Patriarch was actually set off like a fairyland.

Everyone in Qingyumen was affected by this scene, and no one spoke for a while.

After a while, Han Jingzhen was the first to say on behalf of everyone: "The disciples of Qingyumen congratulate Taoist!"

Afterwards, a slightly cold male voice came from the cave mansion: "Well... everyone has worked hard, let's go."

Xiao Ran let out a "huh" in his heart, feeling that the voice was a bit different from what he had imagined!

The order of Patriarch Chongfa was extremely simple and clear, and there was no need to talk about it at all. Of course, the disciples of Qingyumen obeyed immediately.

But they just "scattered" from the back peak one after another, but returned to the main peak at the same time. They all looked at Master Hanjing, hoping that he could make the next specific arrangements.

At this moment, Master Hanjing was obviously much more relaxed than before. He smiled and said, "Uncle Master has made a breakthrough and is now promoted to Taoism. This is a great joy. Our school will hold a Daoist Ceremony in the near future, and invite all Daoist cultivators from all over the world!"

Hearing this, the disciples of Qingyu Sect finally recovered from the thrilling thunder calamity just now, and realized that Qingyu Sect had gained a great power during the tribulation period, and they were immediately ecstatic.

But among them, the poor Immortal Han Xing was not included, his face was pale at the moment, his figure was also crumbling, and he looked very bad.

Xiao Ran knew at a glance that although the patriarch who worshiped the law successfully crossed the catastrophe, it still affected Xu Xing's state of mind.

Immortal Hanjing also found out what was wrong with Xu Xing, and hurried forward to check, but Xu Xing waved his hand to stop him: "If the headmaster has no other orders, I'll go back to Tianzhu first."

Probably because he was worried that the Qingyu Gate had lost a Nascent Soul just after one more Taoist, the real Hanjing completely concealed his smile, and hurriedly responded: "Everyone has really worked hard, so let's go."

He looked at Xiao Yi, and the meaning was very obvious. As Xu Xing's direct junior, Master Han Yi did not refuse, and immediately followed Xu Xing to Tianzhu Peak.

Everyone returned separately, and Xiao Ran followed Qiao Heng back to the Cliff Cave.

"Congratulations, Patriarch!" Xiao Ran said to Qiao Heng with a smile.

Qiao Heng looked over with some puzzlement, and seemed to ask again, "Why congratulate me".

Xiao Ran moved closer to him: "Aren't you very worried about the patriarch Chongfa... Oh no, is he a Taoist worshiper?"

Qiao Heng didn't expect that he could see the emotions in his heart, and felt a little complicated for a while: "Everyone says that I am like a master uncle, so master loves me the most."

Xiao Ran was a little surprised when he heard this. On the one hand, he was surprised that Qiao Heng was willing to tell him about his elders, and on the other hand, he was also surprised by the information he expressed.

——Jianxiu means that others think Taoist Chongming treats him best because Qiao Heng is like the ancestor of Chongfa?This amount of information is a bit large!

Xiao Ran made up some messy things in his head, and finally couldn't help it, and asked cautiously: "What do you think?"

Generally speaking, being valued by one's most important elders is because of being like others. Not everyone will be happy about this kind of thing.

It seems that Xiao Ran doesn't like that he used to be like that old bastard Qing Yuanfeng.

To put it bluntly, if Qiao Heng treats him well, it's because he looks like the real person Xiao Yi, probably Xiao Ran will put a little fur ball to scratch Qiao Heng to death.

Of course, the original Xiao Ran probably had a higher degree of acceptance of this matter, so he followed the family's arrangement and imitated his self-proclaimed noble uncle in all aspects.

It's a matter of different opinions, but I don't know what Jianxiu himself thinks.

Seeing Qiao Heng mentioning this matter suddenly, Xiao Ran was really not sure what he meant.

However, seeing that he was really worried about Daoists, he probably didn't mind it too much... Or, he was relieved now?

As a result, Jianxiu didn't even think about it, and immediately replied: "Master is very kind to me, and my uncle is also kind to me."

——Okay, from this tone, Old Ancestor Qiao doesn't mind at all...

Xiao Ran could tell that what Qiao Heng said was sincere. It seemed that he didn't believe this rumor at all, and he really respected and loved his two elders.

"How could your master not love a handsome apprentice like the ancestor who is highly talented, well-behaved, filial to his elders?" Xiao Ran immediately echoed.

A certain ancestor heard his first three compliments and was about to humble himself, but when he heard the last one about "handsome", he was speechless.

But in this speechless, and inexplicably embarrassed, I don't know how to answer.

Xiao Ran just likes to see his helpless and even helpless look on his expressionless face, it's as refreshing as stroking a little fur ball!

He held Jianxiu's hand calmly, the other party was obviously surprised, but he didn't let go.

The two stood on Qiao Heng's flying sword as usual, and both returned home.

——The respected elder Qiao Heng survived the tribulation smoothly, but the hated Xu Xing was unlucky again. It seems that today is a good day!

……

Soon, all the immortal sects in the Central Plains heard the good news and sent congratulatory letters one after another. They only waited for the news from the Qingyu Sect to hold a Daoism Ceremony for Dharma worshipers.

It's just that they are really happy in the middle of it, and only they know it.

Everyone knows that because of this tribulation, the forces of the world's immortal sects have been reshuffled again.

Qingyumen, which originally had a great advantage, finally stood at the head of all the immortal gates after losing the two Taoists Chongming and Chongxuan.

And the Shoushan Sword Sect, who was able to compete with Qingyumen before, is no longer able to compete with him, and can only take the second place.

It was also because of this that everyone's eyes were focused on the magnificent Qingyu Gate for a while, wanting to confirm some things that they need to pay special attention to during the Enlightenment Ceremony.

And some people who looked at Patriarch Qiao felt more urgent because they knew some old things.

After the breakthrough of Chongfa, he did not continue to retreat as before, but except for Daoist Hanjing, he did not call any disciples.

Xiao Ran even asked Qiao Heng about it, who knew he got a new gossip.

"Senior brother is the most like a master, and my uncle has always treated him kindly."

Xiao Ran: "..." Can you stop saying something so poignant and serious that it makes people think about it! ! !

Although Xiao Ran felt that it was not as ambiguous as he imagined, he couldn't help thinking about it.

But thinking about it carefully, I think this kind of thing is quite normal.

An extroverted and lively master, a student who likes to be calm, a senior uncle who is steady and mature, and a nephew who is closer to a sweet-mouthed and capable nephew, all make sense.

——Seeing how Qiao Heng likes him so much, it's not hard to imagine why the Patriarch Chongfa treated Daoist Hanjing the best~

Even if the patriarch Chongfa doesn't want to care about people anymore, it is impossible to completely ignore the disciples.

One month after he successfully crossed the tribulation, before the ceremony of enlightenment, he still met all the disciples of the Qingyu Sect who were above Jindan in the main hall of Qingyu Peak.

As a member of Jindan, Xiao Ran naturally followed his ancestor to the main hall.

Everyone filed in, Xiao Ran lowered his head first, and then raised his head slightly after everyone saluted the Taoist priest.

But he didn't look directly at Chongfa, he only looked at him secretly from the corner of his eye.

To Xiao Ran's great surprise, the patriarch Chongfa looked very young, but after the foundation of Taoism, he could retain his face, so judging age by appearance alone was really inaccurate.

What made Xiao Ran even more unexpected was that this patriarch who worshiped the law turned out to have white hair!

I don't know if it was because of some misfortune, or if it was too much consumption during the tribulation.

Reverend Hanjing had obviously introduced the current situation of Qingyumen in private, so that Taoist Chongfa who had been in retreat for nearly a hundred years would not be ignorant.

But when they actually met, everyone still introduced themselves one by one, which was regarded as a formal greeting to the Taoist priest.

They were introduced according to the entry order of the masters of the peaks, and Qiao Heng's cliff cave was naturally ranked second to last.

Probably because they knew the Taoist's temper, everyone only dared to say his name, and didn't dare to say anything else at all.

Xiao Ran felt as if he had returned to the time when he went to Zhanglong Piandian to meet Patriarch Qiao.

——Looking at it this way, it's not an exaggeration at all to say that Qiao Heng seems to respect the Fa...

Soon, all the disciples of Pingdu Peak finished speaking, and Xiao Ran, as a single seedling of the cliff cave, stood in front of the hall and bowed to salute.

This time Xiao Ran didn't feel uncomfortable, after all, he was already a Taoist who respected the law, and because of Qiao Heng's reason, saluting the elders was not a big deal.

"Disciple Xiao Ran, I have met a Taoist."

Everyone else called him "Master Uncle", and Xiao Ran, the "Taoist", stood out.

Chongfa raised his head and looked at Xiao Ran.

Standing by the side, Master Hanjing hurriedly introduced: "Xiao Ran is in charge of Junior Brother Qiao's Dongfu. Lie Yang has just formed alchemy after training, and has not formally apprenticed to him yet."

Because I don't have a teacher, I can't call the Fa-worshiping Taoist "Master Uncle" like other disciples.

Daoist Chongfa nodded at first, and glanced casually, but found that his nephew, who was always like a glacier, turned his eyes on the young man in the hall. The concentration in his eyes was hard to ignore.
