Chapter 149: Destroying Domains and Exterminating Spirits, The Betrayed Master(1/2)
The Zhao family is worthy of being a long-established county tycoon. With the merits of their ancestors, they actually exceeded the five ancestral spirit quotas limited by the county tycoon's family status.
The seven ancestral spirits of the Zhao family each divided their labors and cooperated. The two strongest ones sat in the middle of the spiritual realm, trying to control the power of the incense and wish, trying to stabilize the shaking of the spiritual realm.
The other five ancestral spirits all rushed to the gap in the spiritual realm, and they filled the gap with their souls that they had cultivated for many years with incense.
This cruel decision made Zhou Bai nodded slightly.
He originally wanted to watch the spiritual realm shrink and finally collapse and destroy, witnessing the end of a virtual plane, but these ancestral spirits refused to let him.
The ancestral spirits are getting weaker and weaker, and the excessive wear and tear has made the soul body close to transparency, but the gap in the spiritual realm is actually repairing and recovering, and the speed of the incense has also slowed down.
Now that Zhou Bai has left, the sacrifice of several Zhao family ancestral spirits may really be able to plug the gap, and even leave one or two ancestral spirits to take charge of the spiritual realm.
In this way, even if the fortune of the family plummets due to the decrease in Yin blessing, the Zhao family will not fall into the crisis of genocide.
With the existence of the spiritual realm, one can have a rural family identity and have a glimmer of hope.
But Zhou Bai came here to cut off future troubles and not kill innocent people indiscriminately, but he couldn't leave behind the legacy of ancestral spirits.
He wanted to use the Zhao family's chicken to intimidate other forces in Pingcang and kill the chicken to scare the monkeys.
As Zhou Bai raised his palm with an indifferent expression, the Zhao family's ancestors felt despair in their hearts. They knew that this man wanted to kill everyone, so they cursed loudly.
"Beast, you are cutting off the family's incense, and you will be riddled with resentment!"
"If your evil deeds are gone, you will be punished!"
Zhou Bai ignored him, clenched his palm into a fist, pushed it straight out, and followed the gap with a lukewarm Luck Dragon Fist into the spiritual realm.
The palace collapsed, and the spiritual space was torn apart, tearing out cracks.
Because it cannot be seen with the naked eye from the outside, it is not a space crack in the main plane. This virtual plane is more like the skin of the main plane being broken and then collapsing into a small hole that is inaccessible.
Whether it was the power of incense or the spirit realm fragments, they were all drawn into the cracks. The seven Zhao family ancestral spirits were unable to resist and could only turn into powder in horror.
The spiritual realm was broken, and the ancestral hall of Yangshi also showed signs of it. The tablets of gods in the hall began to decay, and snakes, rats, insects and ants that had never dared to set foot swarmed in, and an aura of dilapidation spread throughout the entire ancestral hall.
Opening the Book of Heaven, there is indeed a trace of evil energy that wants to cling to the external luck, and there seems to be a feeling of undermining the luck.
Retribution for breaking the realm and destroying the spirit? To destroy his bad luck?
But now that he is practicing the Hunyuan Qi Luck Daozang and is accustomed to the secret method of "qi control" such as Qi Luck Dragon Fist, how can he really lose his luck by some residual resentment and evil energy?
The lucky dragon carp was quietly awakened by Zhou Bai, and then reluctantly swallowed the resentful energy. However, after taking a few mouthfuls, it felt like a snack and became active.
The ancestral spirit can still sense when something happens to the direct line, but how can Zhao Chun, the clan leader, not know about something happening to the clan temple and the ancestral spirit.
He was still practicing in a secret room, but his heart suddenly tightened, and unparalleled panic swept through his body and mind, as if the sky had collapsed.
Zhao Chun couldn't care less about the internal injuries caused by the interruption of Zhou Tian's Qi flow. He only had one thought in his mind.
Something happened, a disaster was coming.
This situation has been recorded in the history of the Zhao family.
At that time, an ancestor led the family elite to escort a very important cargo out. As a result, the enemy family took the opportunity to attack with troops.
The remaining tribesmen had no choice but to retreat to the clan temple, and then they persisted until their ancestors brought people back to support and repel the enemy.
The clan temple was attacked by soldiers, the clan movement was shaken, and the ancestral spirits were frightened. At that time, the ancestor was panic-stricken and hurried back thinking that something was going on at home.
Zhao Chun's feelings now are many times more serious than those recorded in the family's history, so he can't believe it.
He immediately wanted to call for help from his family, his master, but he came up from the underground secret room and carefully observed the situation outside, but there was no movement.
The servants in the outer courtyard are still patrolling, all parties are arranged in an orderly manner, and there is no unusual movement in the county.
It was not at all what he had imagined, such as Zhou Bai's rebellion, the Jin people's attack on Kukou Pass in Cangshan Mountain, and their intention to invade Bei'an, let alone any major changes caused by the bloody rain.
What else could it be? Could it be a mistake in inspiration?
But now the feeling of the season in his heart still lingers. Zhao Chun opened the door and looked at the sky above the ancestral home with his meager magic power in his eyes.
I saw that the family fortune that had accumulated like a cloud suddenly collapsed, most of the white energy disappeared, and the red energy in the core was also dissipating outwards.
At this speed, within ten days and a half, his Zhao family will fall into disgrace.
Looking in the direction of the ancestral hall, there is even more black air. It is obvious that the sixth sense of impending disaster is not an illusion.
Zhao Chun was so shocked and angry that he immediately crushed a Taoist talisman and rushed towards the ancestral hall.
Seeing the clan leader's actions, the bodyguard outside quickly rang the gong and summoned men.
"An enemy has sneaked in!"
The alarm bell sounded, and the sleeping mansion was awakened. All the lights were turned on for a while, and groups of martial arts guards and servants rushed out.
At this time, Zhao Chun had already rushed to the clan ancestral hall with the magic talisman, and happened to see groups of servants falling to the ground, as well as the dilapidated and desolate ancestral hall.
Where is the spiritual realm? Where are the ancestral spirits?
Zhou Bai walked towards Zhao Chun. His entry-level invisibility could hide him from ordinary people, but he couldn't hide it from even Zhao Chun, who was in the early stage of Taoism.
He happened to use the method of spiritual eyes to search the spiritual realm, and when he saw the invisible Zhou Bai, he was instantly filled with various emotions such as understanding, anger, and fear.
But Zhao Chun reacted very quickly, knowing that one-on-one was definitely no match for a celestial being. He activated the magic talisman and turned around to run away.
The master is at the peak of the Taoist realm, and I am at the early stage of the Taoist realm. After joining together, there should be no big problem in dealing with a heavenly being who has just entered the Taoist realm.
The meager magic power is pushed to the limit, and the magic talisman spontaneously ignites without fire and turns into ashes. This is a rare method that overdrafts the power of the talisman.
In an instant, Zhao Chun ran twenty or thirty feet away, and a large group of servants happened to come to support him. How could he stop him?
However, before he could show any signs of relaxation on his face, a sharp stabbing pain suddenly appeared in his mind.
Zhao Chun's eyesight went dark, how could it be possible with divine consciousness?
The last thought, the ancestor spirit is finished, the Zhao family is finished...
Can his cheap master defeat this monster?
From the time Zhao Chun rushed to the ancestral hall, then suddenly broke out and retreated, to then died in front of all the servants, the Zhao family had no idea what was happening in the flash of lightning.
They were just shouting, "Catch the thief, there's an assassin, etc."
"Reporter, call for help!"
"The head of the family is dead. Hurry up and find the second master to take charge of the overall situation."
"Report, the second master will die on his bed."
From beginning to end, no one saw Zhou Bai, and no one understood why the two principals of the Zhao family died.
The cool breeze blew by, and a chill appeared in the hearts of the servants. Who did the master have offended?
In another hidden room, Zhao Chun was worshiping his master, and Kuchun Sanren had just finished his retreat.
Because his master's apprentice crushed the token and asked for help.
"Huh~"
The turbid air was exhaled, Kuchun Sanren slowly opened his eyes, and a bright electric light suddenly appeared in the dark secret room.
"Regardless of how smart this kid is, he didn't interrupt my retreat this time. What can happen to Ping Cang that a clan leader who has entered the Taoist realm cannot solve." Ku Chun murmured, holding the same talisman as Zhao Chun in his hand.
This is the communication talisman between the master and the disciple, which allows those in seclusion to learn information from the outside world without interfering with their spiritual practice.
There is no way, there is no formation or communication array in the place where they retreat.
"Papa~"
"Yes, the sun has appeared three times, the empty room has become white, the cultivation of entering the Tao and building the foundation has reached perfection, and the state of transformation is just around the corner."
From the other corner of this quiet room, accompanied by a burst of applause, words of evaluation and appreciation came.
Cold sweat broke out on Ku Chun Sanren's back, because in that dark corner, there was a handsome young man sitting there, looking at him with a smile.
This is Zhou Bai who tried to shield his perception with his spiritual consciousness and then sneaked in invisibly. It seems that the effect is good now, at least he can hide it from a monk in retreat.
After refining the Qi and opening up the meridians of Ren Du and even the whole body, you can often go around the world to absorb the spiritual energy and convert it into magic power. This stage is to build the foundation and enter the Tao.
When monks achieve perfection in retreat at this stage, some strange phenomena will occur.
For example, in a dark room, there are bright electric lights, or the image of fire beads illuminates the entire room. This is called "the sun appears three times, and the empty room becomes white."
"The space between the eyebrows is called Rimingtang, which is where the sun shines. When the sun shines, it's like a lightning bolt, making an empty room white."
"I have no talent, and I am lucky enough to reach perfection at an old age. There is nothing worthy of praise." Kuchun Sanren responded as calmly as possible, and then used the time of speaking to mobilize his magic power, ready to fight at any time.
The casual cultivator's current confusion also reminded Zhou Bai that he and Yu Yueyun must be protected by formations when practicing in seclusion.
Regarding Kuchun Sanren's words, Zhou Bai smiled slightly and did not refute. In short, the person in front of him can be regarded as a beautiful person among Sanren cultivators.
Each major realm has three smaller realms: beginning, middle and last. Generally speaking, when you reach the later stage, you can break through to the next major realm.
The perfect state can only be achieved by a small group of people at the same level. They completely control the inside and outside of themselves and can usually exert their peak combat power, so they are also called the peak state.
The foundation is solid, and once a breakthrough is made, there is basically no need to waste time in stabilizing one's cultivation.
Now, if a Kuchun Sanren breaks through the realm, he will be in the early stage of metamorphosis. In the early stage, he has taken a very far step, and in the middle stage, he is almost too late.
Of course, even this cannot be compared with Zhou Bai, who established the foundation of the Heavenly Dao. He made a perfect breakthrough from the Taoist realm to the Mortal Realm, but he spanned the third level to the late Mortal Realm, and then only spent one month to break through to the Mortal Realm.
The Kuchun Sanren put their hands on the storage bag at their waist, obviously ready for a fight at this time.
