Turned a corner while ascending

The Yunliu Mountains are extremely vast, with a total of eight large and small branches, entrenched like eight-clawed spiders, and the majestic and majestic main part is where the current Zhaoxinzong Mountain Gate is located.

Almost 3 years ago, the old super sects Tianxuan Sect, Bankun Palace and Kunyuan Sword Sect formed a tripartite confrontation. Each sect had an eighth-rank Yingjie period master and at least one Yingjie elder , as well as several seventh-rank good fortune Taoist saints, plus countless disciples, although the fighting was fierce, it has not been hurt much.

Later, Ningguang Shizun was born out of nowhere, and he cultivated the way of killing in Huangquan. He was very capable of fighting, and he almost reached the realm of birth and death with one finger.

No one knew where he came from, and the Taoism he practiced was unheard of. With four talented disciples, he set up the ancestral home of the Zhaoxin Sect: Yuqiong Mountain high above the Yunliu Mountain Range.

Yuqiong Mountain is protected by the Primordial Purple Qi on the outside, and blessed by the Zhenshan Great Formation inside, and can hide from the void and walk freely, which is very powerful, so even if their master and apprentice have no desire to compete for fame and fortune, they are now being watched by others up.

So the unprecedented melee began.

While guarding against each other, the three major sects attacked Ningguang Shizun together. The result was very miserable. Ningguang Shizun mercilessly fought back and gained popularity in several battles. Fighting against the three major sects was a joy.

Gradually, the continuous struggle for thousands of years changed as the three disciples of Ningguang Shizun grew up to be masters of the robbery period. First, the head of Bankun Palace's generation formed an alliance with Zhaoxinzong, and the situation became The two major forces competed, and then the third-generation disciples of the Zhaoxin Sect grew rapidly in the flames of war, and they already had the energy to support a super large sect.

The war that lasted for thousands of years finally ended slowly. During the war, the Zhaoxin Sect rose to become one of the super sects. In addition, due to the impact of the war, the Eight Great Mountains gave birth to countless sects, large and small. The sects grew rapidly, and one after another quickly lined up according to the mountain ranges they belonged to. This is how the sects are divided into today's ranks.

Now, Ningguang Shizun has retired, Yu Qiongshan has not been born for a long time, and after the peerless powerhouses of his generation have fallen one after another, the current four great masters in the cultivation world are all his juniors.

When Zhaoxin Sect became one of the four first-rank sects with absolute strength, relative peace also ushered in the Eight Great Divine Mountains, and this peace has lasted for 2 years now.

I have to say that although Ningguang Shizun is extremely powerful in combat and is also good at teaching disciples, since he has accepted four apprentices and only taught four disciples, he is not a character who likes to teach others .

Fortunately, he had the foresight to choose an excellent candidate to be his first disciple.

This person is now the original World Honored One, the head of the Heart Sect, who cultivates the Dao of Karma, and is a master with amazing affinity.

At the beginning, the World Honored One looked like an eighty-year-old man in the mortal world, with a long snow-white beard and all white hair, wearing a Taoist robe of stars and moons, on which were painted yin and yang, gossip, mountains and rivers, and wrinkles on his old face. He went up like an ordinary neighbor's grandfather, without the slightest threat.

Shi Shishi's experience is quite legendary, Shi Shi is his Dao name, his name is Xun'an, he is a well-known old master in the mortal world, he never puts down his books all his life, and is good at educating the world.It is said that when Ningguang Shizun found him, half of his body had been buried in the soil, and he had no cultivation at all.

However, it is such the original World Honored One who comprehended the Dao of Karma in an instant after being enlightened by the World Honored Ningguang, survived the thunder and tribulation of the Dao, and after three years of retreat, he directly changed from a mortal with no cultivation base to a high-ranking high-level practitioner.

His experience is too legendary and cannot be copied. It can be said that there is no one before or after. It was too complicated and difficult to understand, so he compiled a simplified version of "The Essence of Yin and Yang for Life" for low-level disciples to learn. Therefore, these genius disciples of Zhaoxin Sect are basically brought up by the original World Honored One.

Today, this legendary figure is entertaining guests in the "Qingjing Hall", the central hall of Zhaoxin Sect.

To be able to enter the Qingjing Temple, the identity of the visitor is not simple.

"Fellow Daoist, I heard that Yunluo and Fanzhen brought people to guard nearby, so I brought a few juniors here uninvited, I hope I won't be offended."

The person who spoke was wearing a simple and capable azure cassock, his long black hair was tied up with a bamboo-like jade hairpin, and there were two overlapping bamboo leaf imprints on the collar. He had a very powerful aura all over his body, which made people look Such as watching the bamboo sea, full of vitality.

Standing behind him were four comprehension practitioners of different heights, fat and thin with the same standard cassock. They were all male cultivators. Their eyes showed the traces of time, and they were powerful. It was obvious that they were three eighth-rank Yingjie and one seventh-rank Taoist. , all the masters in Bankun Palace are here!

On the other hand, in Zhaoxinzong, apart from the original World Honored One, there is also a female monk with a beautiful appearance and a somewhat slender posture in the hall, she is just a seventh-rank Taoist.

The World Honored One at the beginning chuckled and said, "Where, Fellow Daoist Xianxing is too polite. I am facing a crisis in the Xinzong sect this time, and I am about to ask Fellow Daoist Xianxing to help me."

The two exchanged a few more polite words, and then turned to the topic.

Xian Xing: "Yun Luo is not friendly with Fan Zhen, and has been in the Yunliu Mountains for several years. I don't know if the original Taoist friends have any way to deal with it?"

Shizun still smiled at the beginning: "Fellow Daoist Xianxing, don't worry, I am not a vegetarian, and all the low-level disciples I sent out have been recalled, and now all the disciples who are active outside are banned by the fifth-rank disciples, which is enough to protect themselves." .”

Xian Xing: "Although Yunluo is arrogant and domineering, she can be called a master of contemporary formations. If she enters the mountain gate without anyone noticing, the danger will be immeasurable. Why don't we take the initiative and drive them back directly."

At the beginning: "Don't worry, Yunluo doesn't mean that, but in my Zhaoxin Sect's ancestral home, she doesn't bother to do such mundane things as killing disciples. The time has not yet come."

Xian Xing: "It seems that Fellow Daoists have already made preparations, and we are really superfluous."

Initial: "How could it be, if Fellow Daoist doesn't come, I have to send a letter to invite you to come here."

Xian Xing: "That's good, take the liberty to visit, I haven't paid homage to Ningguang World Honored One, don't you know his old man?"

Initial: "Master has been in seclusion for many years, let me go to Yuqiong Mountain to have a look later, if Master has already left the seclusion, I will definitely notify Fellow Daoist Xianxing."

Xianxing nodded with a smile and said, "That's it, thank you fellow Taoist. I won't stay any longer. Since Yunluo and the others occupy the north, my junior brother and I will settle down in the south at Minyu Peak. If you have something to do, you can send me a letter."

Master Xian Xing got up to say goodbye, the original World Honored One didn't stay much, although they are allies, but it is not easy for the five Buddhas to stay in the mountain protection formation, this is a tacit understanding between everyone, so the original World Honored One just stood up and sent each other off, He personally sent them out of Zhaoxinzong.

"Eldest Brother." The frail woman was a little worried, "Third Senior Brother can't leave the mountain, and Master is retreating again. Even if the Dao Seed matures, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on."

The Shizun Shishi said with a gentle smile, "Baoxian, they didn't come from the Dao."

"Ah? What is that for?"

The Shizun Shishi slightly narrowed his eyes, stretched out his hand and flicked in the empty air: "They are here for Master, for Yuqiong Mountain, and for Zhaoxin Sect."

"Brother, what did you see?"

"Karma retribution, let me cover it, the world reincarnates, I know, Baoxian, not only is there no danger this time, but I can also see my junior brother in advance."

"Huh?" Baoxian showed an expression of surprise that didn't match her beautiful and weak posture at all, "Senior Brother, I remember you said before that you have to wait hundreds of years to see Junior Brother."

"The causal line has changed." Shi Shi said with a smile.

Baoxian narrowed his eyes and smirked for a while, then suddenly said: "That fire-breathing dragon Yunluo must have dared to make trouble because of the fact that Master has not been alive for a long time, so why did Xianxing come here?"

"Yuqiong Mountain has not been born for a long time, and Zhaoxin Sect is a sweet pastry. It is not surprising that everyone is tempted. Since Xianxing can become an ally at a critical moment, he can also become an enemy at a critical moment." Initial World Honored One Feeling grateful, he turned the air again, "If you really want to stand up, you have to wait another 2 years. Master is famous, but the disciples of the younger generation have to step up their cultivation. You..."

"Understood, senior brother." Baoxian interrupted obediently, and changed the subject, "My apprentice Qingxing went out with Xiaohuaer and hasn't come back yet. I'll look for it so that nothing happens."

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly lifted the corner of his skirt and slipped away.

And Qing Xing and Xiao Hua'er, who were missed by Taoist Baoxian, were following a group of people secretly at this time, walking towards the deep mountain.

They didn't follow closely. For the disciples of Zhaoxinzong, it is very difficult to lose a group of people in the Yunliu Mountains, let alone this group of people stop and go, playing with a jade bowl in their hands. Also follow the traces of something in general.

Qing Xing is a rare sword cultivator in Zhaoxin Sect, a fifth-rank realm, with a face that is not ugly but always serious. The little Hua'er next to her is a boy and a girl. Zhizhuo is more colorful and feminine, but this person Jin has painted before. He is the first disciple, Hua Chengxi, the first disciple of the second generation under the head of the sect.

The two of them were on their way to inspect, and at the same time, they found a group of five sneaky, ugly, and roughly dressed men. After sending away the young disciples with low cultivation levels and returning to the mountain gate, the two of them followed all the way. It's been a month.

The behavior of these five people is weird. They are obviously tall and strong men, but they insist on walking with their backs bent. Moreover, their arms are longer than ordinary people, and they often land on all fours. The skin is hairy, the hair is black and thick, and the occasional babble is also heard, which is definitely not a human language. All signs show that these people should not be human, but some ape-like spirit beasts.

Qingxing couldn't see how many people had cultivated, so they could only be more careful. The signal had already been sent back to the sect, but they didn't look like they came for the Xinzong, and then they gradually left the restricted area , the two didn't think about adding more people, and decided to stay with them for a few more days, and let them go if there was no abnormality.

The leader was holding a small jade bowl in his hand, and there was a cloud of black air in the jade bowl. The black air was very active, changing its position all the time, making the five people circle around like headless chickens.

"Commander, the divine power of King Yanhou is moving more and more frequently, King Jiufeng must be nearby!"

The head man was full of joy, but he didn't show it. He looked at the misty valley ahead, moved his nose, moved his nose again, and suddenly frowned: "There are many powerful auras ahead, it's not good. near."

This is a squad of ancient orcs.

In order not to be annihilated, Chongshen, the patriarch of the Mudie tribe who was killed by Jin Que and the others in the secret realm of the Northern Wilderness, begged the tribe he had befriended with, and at the same time promised a lot of money. Going out, if you can get benefits, it is better to go out early.

So the black apes took the lead because their appearance is more human-like and easier to transform.

The ethnic group divided into several teams. It is known that the last place where the cunning human cultivator who stole the holy egg appeared was the edge of Daze. Each of them brought a trace of the beast king's divine power. Jiufeng's method wasted a lot of mental energy, scattered all over the world, this branch chose the right northeast direction so carefully, and finally entered the Yunliu Mountain Range cautiously.

The Yunliu Mountain Range was banned by the Zhaoxin Sect for thousands of miles. They had to be careful and careful. After spending more than ten years, finally, the divine power of the beast king became active, which proved that the Nine Phoenix Beast King was nearby!

So what if there is a powerful aura, in order to obtain this great achievement, the five of them muttered in a circle, and suddenly turned into a huge black ape, and disappeared in two or three strokes.

"...Uncle, what kind of spirit beast is this?" Hua Chengxi was a little surprised when he saw the five black apes disappear all at once.

"I've never seen it before." Qingxing frowned, "There is no one in front of you, where the Miyun beast group is, where is the beast king?"

"Yesterday, Junior Sister sent a message saying that she found some food that Ah Huang likes to feed it, so it should be still in the sect right now."

Qing Xing said: "Stay here and don't wander around, I'll borrow it from the Beastmaster when I go back."
