In the sky above Hanyu Cave, spiritual energy from heaven and earth rolled in, forming a massive surge of spiritual energy.
The formation restriction that shrouded the cave had a flash of light, and Shen Mo walked out of the cave. Recalling the wonderful experiences of the past few days, a knowing smile appeared on his face...
After hundreds of years of separation, Chen Mengze's temperament had become colder due to his practice of "Bing Qing Jade Immortal Art", but the moment he saw him, he could no longer suppress the emotions in his heart, as if a volcanic eruption had melted away the thick layer covering the top of the mountain.
The two of them are in love, and although they have not taken the last step because they don't want to waste this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, there is only a layer of window paper left.
For Shen Mo, it was like taking a magma bath in the ice and snow. The wonderful taste was mind-blowing, but it was just inconvenient for outsiders to explain.
If Chen Mengze hadn't fallen deeply in love and found an opportunity to be promoted to the phaseless realm, Shen Mo would have had to leave this gentle land for the sake of her path, and I'm afraid she would have stayed in Hanyu Cave for a long time!
"I hope Senior Sister Chen can successfully be promoted to Wuxiang!" Shen Mo looked at the increasingly turbulent spiritual tide above the cave and silently wished in his heart.
The "Bingqing Jade Immortal Technique" practiced by Chen Mengze is quite magical.
The innate Qi just cultivated is not weaker than the fairy Qi, and it has many wonderful benefits for Shen Mo's practice.
This time, Shen Mo absorbed the innate energy from her as usual. Since Chen Mengze's innate energy had been accumulated for hundreds of years, Shen Mo felt like he was "full" for a moment, and finally poured out a large amount of it.
The power of Hunyuan is hidden in fifty trillion particles of flesh and blood, thus avoiding the waste of innate energy.
And the miraculousness of this immortal-level technique goes far beyond that.
If Shen Mo and Chen Mengze are in the same realm, when Yin and Yang come together for the first time, both of them will benefit greatly. They can even directly improve their cultivation to a small realm, saving them dozens or hundreds of years of hard work.
Shen Mo is already a monk at the peak of the Phaseless Realm. If he goes up a small level, he will reach the True Immortal Realm. Without the tribulation of immortality, his realm may not improve, but he can consolidate the foundation of the Phaseless Peak to an unprecedented level.
With the level of those who come, they will have greater confidence when going through the Immortal Tribulation.
More importantly, after Chen Mengze achieved Wuxiang, he had nine thousand years of life, and was one step closer to the true fairyland.
This is what Shen Mo is looking forward to most, everything else is just side effects!
The feedback from Yingshen showed that Zhao Lingyin was still in seclusion, and it seemed that he might not come out in a few years, so Shen Mo gave up the idea of going to the Dragon Heart Realm.
After thinking for a moment, he cast a spell to hide his traces, and flew toward the gate of the Red Flame Sect...
The senior officials of the sect are already waiting for him in the Palace of Eternal Life!
…
Eight hundred years have passed.
Before Shen Mo fell into the sealed world, most of the old Yuan Dan cultivators he was familiar with had died without building the divine bridge. After all, Yuan Dan monks only had a thousand years to live!
However, in recent years, many new generations have cultivated to the Yuan Dan realm and become the new mainstay of the sect.
Not to mention the disciples below the Yuan Dan realm, they have changed one after another.
Among them, those who are successful in practice have condensed the Yuan Dan, and some outstanding ones have even built a divine bridge. However, those who lack qualifications, understanding, opportunities, etc., and disciples who have not moved to a higher realm, will fall into the grave early.
Withered bones!
In the Hall of Eternal Life, only the former True Lord Shenqiao and a group of new Shenqiao met Shen Mo again after 836 years.
There are quite a few newly promoted divine bridges, including his direct disciple Qian Xiaofeng, Lingzang Shu Xuziyu, Immortal Service Palace Jiang Lingfeng, Flower Fairy Ami, Yu Fei’s reincarnation Yu Qingning, Tu Lin from the lower world, Tianjian Peak Meng Sanchi,
Li Chen from Ghost Corpse Peak, Feng Wushuang from Yanyue Peak, Li Chouniu from Seven Star Peak, Whale Fuhai from Shengxian Lake, etc. Many disciples who were familiar to Shen Mo but not familiar with them all built the divine bridge one after another.
Now the number of True Lord Shenqiao of the Scarlet Flame Sect has exceeded one hundred, with a total of one hundred and five.
Currently, there are only six people who have cultivated to the formless state. In addition to Zhao Lingyin who is in seclusion in the Dragon Heart Realm, there are also Yuan Heming, Cao Ren, Mingyu, Jiang Yingying and Fan Ying...
After Shen Mo, the second disciple of the Chi Yan Sect to be promoted to Wu Xiang was actually Fan Ying.
After all, she is the reincarnation of a true immortal. Even if she has only existed for one ten thousandth of a time, she is far from being comparable to an ordinary monk.
Fan Ying not only awakened the wisdom of her previous life, but also had the help of the Immortal Coffin of Good Fortune. Her cultivation speed was astonishingly fast. It only took more than a hundred years to cultivate from the Yuan Dan Realm to the Shenqiao Realm, and it only took more than a hundred years to go from the Shenqiao Realm to the Phaseless Realm.
Over four hundred years ago, she was promoted to the phaseless realm as early as three hundred years ago, and is now a strong person in the middle phase of the phaseless realm.
Then there is Zhao Lingyin. She is assisted in her practice by the seventh-level immortal tree transformed by Yuanjun Dharmakaya, and she can continuously absorb the spiritual power of green wood from the immortal tree.
The road to the peak of the phaseless realm has been paved. As for whether she can survive the catastrophe of becoming an immortal in the future, it still depends on her own luck. After all, even Shen Mo dare not say that she will become a true immortal!
Deputy sect leader Yuan Heming was the strongest person in the sect during the Linjiang sect period;
His qualifications and understanding are all top-notch, and his accumulation of knowledge is deep enough. It is not surprising that he can practice all the way to the formless realm.
In addition to him, the ancestors of Yuan Dan and the Immortal Burial Sea Demon King of the five major immortal sects in the Scarlet Flame Territory all came from the chaotic era of scarcity of resources and endless conquests. After ascending to the immortal world, almost all of them have outstanding achievements.
Achievement.
As long as there is no disaster or death, a sacred bridge has basically been built;
For example, Zhou Zhiwei, Gongsun Jiuru, Xu Liang, Taoist Lei Shi, Gui Wannian, Zhang Jiujiu and others, if these people don't have the right mediators, how many true kings without form can be born!
However, there are also a group of veteran Yuan Dan from the Linjiang Sect period who have fallen away due to various reasons.
For example, Prince Yongzuo who made himself into a magic weapon and spirit that could not leave the tomb palace, and the Golden Corpse Taoist who lost his body in a demonic disaster and let his soul live in the golden armor corpse puppet under his command, etc. They spent their lifespan because they were unable to be promoted to Shenqiao.
Empress Yuan reincarnated and passed away.
There are also some who have suffered calamities one after another and have no chance to continue practicing and attack the sacred bridge.
Cao Ren was able to be promoted in such a short period of time, thanks to his true dragon body and the human skills and immortal arts he practiced;
Combining the strengths of both families, it is natural for him to cultivate to the sixth level. After all, the True Dragon clan has a unique longevity, aptitude, and physique. As long as they are not miscellaneous dragons with impure blood, they can live for countless years even if they are lazy.
Even after ten thousand years, he can be promoted to the sixth level.
Of course, the true dragon clan, like many powerful alien races, has a big problem in reproducing offspring of pure-blooded true dragons.
Regardless of the fact that the true dragon clan is spread all over the Xuanhuang Immortal Realm, which is a foundation accumulated over countless years, the number of pure-blooded true dragons in the new generation is very small, and there are countless miscellaneous dragons with impure blood.
If not, the True Dragon Ancestral Land located in Kunlun Fairy Continent would not have gone to great lengths to build a scale-scratching pool in an attempt to transform more miscellaneous dragons into pure blood!
Moreover, the difficulty of promoting a true dragon to the seventh level is no lower than that of a human monk cultivating to become an immortal. They also need to survive the catastrophe of promotion, which is essentially the catastrophe of becoming an immortal for a true dragon, but it is called differently.
Mingyu, like Cao Ren, is also an "other".
Of course, the longevity, qualifications, etc. of the Immortal Burial Sea Clam Girl clan are far inferior to those of real dragons.
And Mingyu can be promoted to Wuxiang one step ahead of her mother Mingcang, which shows that her qualifications, understanding, etc. are among the top among the Bengnu clan and even the entire sea clan's demon cultivators;
Like her sister Clam Pearl, she is still at the peak of the Yuan Dan realm. If the lifespan of the sea tribe was not much longer than that of human monks, she might have fallen by now!
As Mingyu was promoted to Wuxiang, she soon replaced her mother Mingcang's position and became the representative of the demon cultivator lineage of the Hai clan within the sect.
As for Jiang Yingying, she follows the Shinto system.
Over the years, she has recruited many disciples on Lingxi Mountain and integrated all the new gods on the mountain. With the continuous supply of wishes, her Shinto cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds.
But Jiang Yingying can only be regarded as half of the formless state at best, because she is in the area where Lingxi Mountain is located, which is roughly within the scope of the Shituo Mountains. She can rely on Lingxi Mountain to mobilize the extremely majestic power of heaven and earth, and exert a performance comparable to that of the True Monarch without form.
His strength is strong, but once he leaves the Shituo Mountains, he will be knocked back to his original form, falling to the level of the middle stage of Shenqiao Realm.
However, in order to integrate and control the new gods within their sphere of influence, the sect's decision-makers still treated Jiang Yingying as the Wuxiang True Monarch. She was in charge of the imperial temple and controlled all the scepter gods on the seventy-two fairy mountains.
…
In addition to the changes in the overall strength of the sect members, there are also many changes in other aspects within the sect.
Because Shen Mo disappeared and was never heard from again, in order to allow the sect to operate normally, a group of senior officials discussed and established a complex decision-making system, which has become more and more perfect after years of development.
As the decision-making center of the sect, the Eternal Life Palace did not originally have the position of palace master, because Shen Mo, the headmaster, was the master of the Eternal Life Palace.
After his disappearance, the sect created a new position as the head of the Hall of Eternal Life. The newly promoted Wu Xiang took turns to hold this position. He sat in the Hall of Eternal Life all year round and was in charge of the nine peaks and one lake. The Lord Shenqiao of the main halls
Participate in core decision-making and handle daily affairs of the sect.
If there is a major issue related to the fate of the sect, the Changsheng Palace cannot make an arbitrary decision, so it will summon all the phaseless realms and Shenqiao realms in the sect to discuss and decide.
However, in the past 800 years, only four "major events" have occurred in total.
The first big thing.
Four hundred years ago, a demon true immortal who escaped from other immortal continents to Fenglin Continent took a fancy to the Xituo Mountains, a blessed land for cultivation. He brought thousands of demons and demons in his cave to try to capture Wulong Mountain and establish a demon kingdom.
country.
As a result, this demonic true immortal was severely injured by the killing power of the Earth Yuan Formation, and finally fled, leaving Wulong Mountain with hundreds of thousands more demons working hard to mine.
The second big thing.
Xianheguan, a true immortal force under the Xuanyuan Immortal Alliance, had a conflict with another major immortal sect over a vein of top-quality spiritual stones.
The mountain gates of the two sides are not far apart. They have been fighting for thousands of years due to disputes over interests. It can be said that they have long-standing grievances.
But this time the war started to intensify due to the superposition of various factors. Both sides called on their friends to join the war, causing the war to spread to most of Changyang Xianzhou.
Fortunately, the true immortal ancestors on both sides maintained restraint and did not end up personally. The monks who participated in the war had reached the peak of the formless realm.
Xianheguan also appealed to the Xuanyuan Immortal Alliance for help, hoping that the members of the Immortal Alliance could send strong men to support them, and they showed a lot of sincerity for this.
Logically speaking, this kind of disaster caused by differences of interests does not involve the life and death of Xianhe Temple. Whether the true immortal forces under the Xuanyuan Immortal Alliance decide to participate in the war is entirely voluntary.
In the end, after deliberation, the senior officials of the Red Flame Sect sent batches of disciples to Xianhe Temple, firstly to repay the friendship of Xianhe Temple for supporting Wulong Mountain, and secondly, to give gifts to those with poor qualifications and poor understanding.
The disciples of the sect have one more way out. Xianhe Temple is much richer than the current Chiyan Sect, and the spiritual resources provided are ten times more abundant than those for ordinary sect tasks.
However, as the war intensified and the casualties among the disciples who went to support Xianhe Temple became more and more heavy, the sect stopped sending its disciples to participate in the war and recalled all participating disciples.
Until now, the war in Changyang Xianzhou has not subsided.
The third big thing.
It is the innovation of many sect rules and regulations within the Scarlet Flame Sect, as well as the adjustment of key positions in each peak and palace.
For hundreds of years, the old strong men of the past have held major positions, and thus earned more resources for their cultivation. They have a huge advantage over the younger generations of newcomers, and can improve their cultivation realm faster, thus
Maintain the position of power within the sect,
Moreover, their longevity is long, and as their realm improves, their consumption of spiritual resources is extremely terrifying, making it difficult for the next generation of disciples to succeed.
It was fine in the past, but the Scarlet Yan Sect had just experienced the disaster that came from the Devil's Cave in the Heavenly Demon Realm, and had paid a lot of benefits to the powerful immortals who came to support them. All the members of the sect were living very hard, which made the middle and lower levels of the sect very difficult.
The disciples' dissatisfaction gradually accumulated until it boiled over.
More than a hundred years after Shen Mo's disappearance, there have been more and more incidents of fighting among fellow sects, practicing evil methods, and embezzling the resources of the Mo sect, which have even reached the point of shaking the foundation of the Red Flame Sect.
As a last resort, the sect's top leaders introduced a series of innovative methods, one of which was to adjust the key positions within the sect. The key positions in the Nine Peaks and One Lake and the main halls were adjusted and changed to make room for the rising stars.
Room for advancement.
The senior members of the sect who retired received purple robes. As red-robed elders, their monthly salary was also greatly reduced.
If they want to earn more cultivation resources, they have to make contributions to the sect commensurate with their income, or they must find ways to earn spiritual objects by themselves. Anyway, Wulong Mountain and the Seventy-two Immortal Mountains are big enough, whether they are to open up
You can make a lot of money from Lingtian Medicine Garden or mining gold and stone veins, but it just requires more time and energy than before!
The fourth major event.
It is inseparably related to the third major event.
Because Shen Mo lost the sealed space and time, the gecko fake body left in the Dragon Heart Realm reverted back to pure magic, Nanke Lingdi collapsed, and chaos in the Jiaomu Jiao Nine Realms gradually emerged since then.
The Red Flame Sect has controlled the nine lower realms for many years. The decision-makers felt that the time was almost up. In order to regain control of the manpower and material resources from all walks of life, they established sect annexes in each lower realm to override the local forces in the lower realm and increase the income of spiritual resources.
At the same time, it also found a way out for a large number of disciples to go to the next sect and hold important positions!
