The old monk and Zhaixingzi saw Taishang Zhongshan's expression change from joy to anger, and then the anger subsided, and then turned into a dead silence that frightened them.
"Too... too superior?"
Zhaixingzi, the long-tested leader of the Xing Sect, said that he had been a leader for hundreds of years and had never experienced such a scene.
Could it be that something happened on the other side?
Otherwise, why would the Supreme Master's face be so ugly?
Zhong Shan's eyes unconsciously showed a hint of murderous intent, which made Zhai Xingzi's heart skip a beat, feeling that a disaster was imminent.
Fortunately, the murderous intention quickly faded away, and Zhong Shan said calmly: "No one is allowed to reveal what happened today except me. Sima Shou will continue to stay at the star measurement platform.
Zhaixingzi, you can disarm the sect-protecting formation."
Zhaixingzi did not agree immediately, but looked at Zhongshan in embarrassment and said:
"The disciples dare not disobey the Supreme Majesty's orders, but today the Falling Star Bell rings seven times. If the Supreme Majesty Wang Song asks about it, the disciples really dare not hide it."
The Xing Sect now has two gods-incarnation princes who suppress the sect's fate. One is Zhong Shan and the other is named Wang Song. They are higher than Zhong Shan in terms of seniority.
Of course, as they are both Supreme Lords of the Star Sect, their previous seniority is nothing.
It's just that when Zhong Shan was able to become a god, His Majesty Wang Song helped a lot. The old helped the new. This is the inheritance of the sect and the foundation for the sect to be passed down from generation to generation.
So no matter what his true thoughts were, Zhong Shan always respected the Supreme Being, and he ranked second in the Xing Sect.
Even though his strength may have surpassed Wang Song.
"Your Majesty Wang Song..."
Zhong Shan pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "If His Majesty Wang Song asks, just tell the truth."
"yes."
Zhaixingzi breathed a sigh of relief.
Her Majesty Wang Song is nine thousand years old. If nothing unexpected happens, she will live for less than a thousand years.
Therefore, Grand Queen Wang Song has kept a low profile these years, preparing to enjoy her old age. She has not appeared publicly in the Xingzong for nearly a hundred years.
But that doesn't mean you can ignore him.
There are certain things that you have to clarify in advance, otherwise you will easily become someone else when the time comes.
Naturally, the two princes cannot produce evil, so the only one who can be the villain is him, the sect leader.
Zhongshan stopped staying and returned to his cave.
Zhaixingzi looked at the pale and bloodless old monk, knowing that he had already damaged his own origin in order to activate the magic circle of the star measuring platform.
My originally short lifespan has become even more depleted, and my end is only in these few years.
He couldn't help but sigh.
"Master Sima, thank you for your hard work, but fortunately, the Star Testing Lineage finally managed to keep the clouds clear and the moon shine bright.
Now that Supreme Master Zhong Shan is paying attention, it is only a matter of time before we measure the star lineage and return to the main lineage of the Star Sect."
After 30,000 years of perseverance, the once-splendid Measuring Star lineage now has only two or three big and small cats left.
If it weren't for the deliberate maintenance within the sect, the descendants of the Zhixing lineage would have long ago become the dust of history, dispersed by the wind.
Measuring the Star Meridian cannot be restarted by inheriting a few skills. What is important is the bloodline ability of the Measuring Star Meridian.
The power of the stars contained in the blood and essence in the old monk's body is the key.
This was when the Star Sect was founded. The ancestors of the Xingxing lineage used their great supernatural powers to absorb the power of the stars in the sky, forming a bloodline that was particularly friendly to the stars, which was passed down from generation to generation.
Only their bloodline can maximize the power of the star measuring platform.
Although the old monk's breath was weak, his eyes were bright. Hearing this, he even smiled and said:
"Thank you for your concern, sect master. I'm fine. If we can prove our ability to detect the star lineage again, I can die in peace."
Zhaixingzi chinned his head slightly and suddenly said:
"Master Sima Peak, this sect leader remembers that your grandson has reached the age of marriage, right?"
Without waiting for the old monk's reaction, Zhai Xingzi said decisively:
"Then it will be up to this sect leader to choose a few girls of the right age for your grandson, who must pass on the bloodline of your Sima family."
Now that the star measuring platform has been reactivated, the bloodline of the Sima family has become particularly important.
As for whether he is willing or not, that is not within his consideration as the sect leader.
The old monk quickly thanked: "Thank you so much, Master!"
…
Wanxingfeng.
This is also the cave of Zhongshan.
As soon as he entered the cave, Zhong Shan drove away all his concubines, disciples, and servants.
"Without my order, anyone who breaks in will die!"
Zhongshan was the only one left in the huge Wanxing Peak.
He sat on the Jade Heart Cold Bed, which is known as one of the top ten wonders in the stargazing world, lit the ten thousand-year soul-nurturing wood that can warm and nourish the soul, and washed his inner and outer mind with the Buddhist practice of Tianlong Zen.
However, no matter how hard he tried, the voice echoing in the sea of consciousness was not weak at all, and even a little more mocking.
"It's easy to ask God but hard to send him away."
Tian Mo Fang Chang rested his head on his head and drifted in the sea of consciousness in Zhongshan. The bursts of Tianlong Zen sounds were like sleeping music, making him yawn again and again.
"Don't waste your time."
"I hid in your distraction, and you merged into your own distraction. Now I and your soul are one.
Unless you are willing to crush your own soul, trying to drive me away is basically a dream."
"Before I don't want to break up with you for the time being, why don't you take a look at the memories you sent back while distracted."
"Let me tell you, you are not as cute as your distraction at all."
Zhong Shan did not answer, but regarded these words as an interference to him.
It was not until three days later that the Heavenly Demon Fang Chang who was hiding in his sea of consciousness became more and more energetic, but he himself had lost some vitality due to excessive exertion.
Only then did Zhong Shan begin to carefully read through the memories he had been distracted by.
"Lord of Heaven and Earth, Great Tang, Qingxiao City, Spirit Net Formation, Prison Suppression Golden Tower, Lord of Qingxiao City, Law Crystal..."
Zhong Shan's soul manifested in the sea of consciousness, looking at the demon Fang Chang, with fear in his tone.
"Are you the clone of Lord Qingxiao?"
Tianmo Fangzhang shook his head and said: "I am him, and he is me, so you might as well call me City Lord."
"But it seems that you have received Mr. Zhong's memory, so are you interested in my terms?
It doesn't matter if you don't agree, since business cannot be done without righteousness.
For the sake of Mr. Zhong, when I leave your consciousness, we will treat you as if we have never met."
Zhong Shan was silent for a moment and said, "Give me some time to think about it."
"Okay, such an important thing does take some time, so let's take three days."
Tian Mo Fang Chang said with a smile:
"In three days, you give me an accurate answer so that we can get together and part ways."
"Three days is too short."
Zhong Shan frowned and was about to buy some more time, but found that the sea of consciousness was empty, as if the clone of the Lord of Qingxiao City had never appeared.
He scanned it with his spiritual consciousness, inside and out, but could not find any trace of the Demonic Cube.
"This is the supernatural power of the upper realm. It is really powerful."
A trace of fear flashed in Zhong Shan's heart.
He knew that the person must still be there, but he couldn't find him.
"Three days, I only have three days."
Zhong Shan's eyes were cold, like ice that lasted ten thousand years.
"I haven't been threatened for a long time."
He closed his eyes again and carefully read through the memories left by his distraction. He believed that his distraction would definitely leave him clues and suggestions.
…
Three days later.
Zhong Shan said to the air in front of him:
"City Master Fang, please show up and see me."
The next moment, Zhong Shan felt his eyebrows move, as if he had opened an eye and a black light was projected out.
A square figure appeared.
"Your Majesty Zhongshan, it seems you have already thought about it."
"good."
Zhong Shan said calmly: "I can promise you to cooperate with all your next actions, but the price you gave is not enough."
Fang Chang was stunned for a moment, and his smile gradually faded.
"His Majesty Zhongshan, do you know what you are talking about?"
"Do you understand the value of the four words Law Crystal?"
Zhong Shan took it for granted: "Zhong was born in the star-gazing world. According to the words of your upper world, he is a native of the star-gazing world.
Zhong loves this land deeply.
So if you want Zhong to risk being spurned by your colleagues and hated by future generations for you, you have to pay more!"
Fang Chang nodded: "That makes sense, so what else do you want, Your Majesty Zhongshan?"
Zhong Shan said very rationally: "The Law Crystal is too far away, and you can't give it to me now, so Zhong still needs some practical benefits.
For example, you have the Kung Fu books in the upper world, and you have been living in Zhong’s sea of consciousness, which is really not the way to be a guest.
Only when you leave Zhong’s consciousness can Zhong believe in your sincerity.”
Fang Chang suddenly laughed, and said with a bit of sarcasm:
"Your Majesty Zhongshan, perhaps my good attitude has misunderstood you, for which I am deeply sorry.
Please remember, I am not begging you to cooperate now, but I am giving you a chance to retain the inheritance of Xingzong.
What I give you is yours.
Now you have only two choices, either agree to my request and cooperate unconditionally with all my actions in the stargazing world.
Then after the Star Observation Realm merges with the Main Heaven and Earth, I can leave a place of inheritance for your Star Sect in Qingxiao Dao.
And you will also get a law crystal and have the opportunity to see the realm above the gods.
Either when our Qingxiao City army arrives, the Star Sect will bear the brunt and the Human Death Sect will be destroyed.
Since you have obtained the distracted memory, you should know that I have the ability to do it.
So, do you choose life or death?"
"We monks go against heaven and seek the way to immortality. We are meant to seek survival from death, so why should we fear death?"
A clear voice came from the void behind.
It was an old Taoist with white hair and a childish face, wearing a pure white Taoist robe, just like the clouds in the sky, misty, invisible, and unpredictable.
"Who are you?"
Fang Chang didn't seem to be surprised by the arrival of the third person.
"Old Taoist Wang Chong is also another supreme leader of the Star Sect. He has seen the messenger from the upper realm."
The old Taoist gave a slap in the face, his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant.
Fang Chang looked at Zhong Shan and said with doubts on his face:
"Based on my interactions with Mr. Zhong, you don't seem like the kind of person who values the world of stargazing as more important than your own path.
So what happened in the past ten years that changed your thinking?"
Zhong Shan smiled and said: "How do you know that distraction is everything to me, just like how can you be sure that you are everything to you?
My definition of distraction is to make him use all means to survive. Only by living can he bring back what I want.
So he represents my compromising side.
But just because he will compromise and be weak does not mean that I will compromise.
Although Qingxiao City is powerful, our Xing Sect is not bad either.
Instead of becoming a vassal of Qingxiao City, I chose to make Xingzong my master!
In his 3,800 years of life, Zhong has never knelt down to an outsider."
Fang Chang nodded again in understanding.
"You are right. Judging from my personality, he has never trusted me, so my thoughts do not represent his thoughts.
Of course Mr. Zhong’s thoughts cannot represent your thoughts.
It's just a pity that you made a wrong choice.
Although I am very unhappy with this person, I have to admit that he is a hypocritical good person. He usually does not do anything to burn bridges.
But maybe this is why I need me to come to this world.
After all, no matter how many bad things I have done, as long as he kills me, he can enjoy all the fruits of victory with peace of mind and avoid having an uneasy conscience."
"Your Majesty Zhongshan, please do it according to your own abilities."
The long figure of the demon suddenly disappeared.
Waves of black energy appeared on Zhong Shan's face, and he could already feel a huge whirlpool appearing out of thin air in his sea of consciousness, swallowing up his sanity.
"Mr. Wang, I leave everything to you!"
Zhong Shan had a ferocious face, and a layer of silver-white feathers appeared on the surface of his body, as if woven by starlight.
This is the highest inheritance of the Star Sect - "Zhoutian Sensing Star Technique", which uses acupuncture points all over the body as stars. Every time an acupoint is lit, a new star can be sensed.
Until all three hundred and sixty-five acupoints contain star cores, and can react with the stars in the sky, they can form a first-grade Nascent Soul and understand the spiritual arts and the robes of the stars in the sky.
This spiritual technique can be attacked or received, and can grow almost infinitely with the monk's realm. It is also the only Tao-level spiritual technique in the Star Sect.
As the star robe manifested, Zhong Shan's physical body seemed to be transformed into a feather, and his soul directly transcended.
As the physical body separated and the soul reached its ultimate sublimation, Zhong Shan finally saw the hiding place of Tianmo Fangchang, which was on the left arm of his soul.
His distractions are originally part of his soul, so he can integrate them without any hindrance.
However, Zhong Shan also kept an eye on it.
It was unavoidable that he was distracted and had an accident, so he was not completely integrated into his own soul, but condensed into his left hand.
At this moment, you can see a black shadow trying to break through the shackles of his left hand.
"Mr. Wang, hurry up!"
Zhong Shan roared in a low voice.
Wang Song did not hesitate. He held a silver-white knife in his hand, flicked it with all his strength, and shouted:
"Yin Yang Yuan Magnetic Divine Light!"
Zhongshan's left arm was cut off directly with a knife, and golden blood seeped out from Zhongshan's broken arm.
Just a drop of blood dissipated, and Zhong Shan felt as if his bone marrow had been removed, almost convulsing to the point of fainting.
But the price is worth it.
Fang Chang could no longer hide his soul and had to physically manifest in the air.
When Wang Song saw Fang Chang appear, he pointed his finger, and the silver knife that had just cut Zhongshan Yuanshen passed directly towards Fang Chang's chest.
Fang Chang looked at the hole in his chest in shock, his body suddenly exploded, and the black fragments dissipated into the void.
“I will come back!”
Zhongshan Yuanshen returned to the physical body, and his breath suddenly dropped a lot. He quickly took out a snow lotus-shaped elixir from the storage ring.
As soon as he rubbed it with his fingers, the snow lotus turned into fly ash, revealing a snow-white lotus seed inside.
He swallowed it in one gulp, and his depressed breath gradually stabilized.
Half an hour later.
Zhong Shan opened his eyes, and with a pale face, he bowed his hands to Wang Song, who was protecting the law, and said thanks:
"Thank you, Mr. Protector Wang."
Wang Song gently stroked his long beard and sighed:
"Fortunately, you still have a ten-thousand-year-old snow lotus seed in your body. Otherwise, your soul's wound would have been healed for a long time. I might as well send a white-haired person to a black-haired person.
It's a pity that even if there is a magic medicine, you will lose your arm this time, your soul will be damaged, and your life will be shortened for at least a thousand years."
Zhong Shan smiled and said: "A thousand years of life can be exchanged for freedom. It's not a loss."
"Mr. Wang, is that man dead?"
His soul was cut, and the pain took over his mind. He only saw Fang Chang being shattered by the large cutting technique, but he did not see anything deeper.
Wang Song looked puzzled and said: "Although the man's aura has dissipated, my hunch tells me that it is not that simple."
"Hey, the star-gazing world is now connected to the upper world. For us, there is a way to ascend. The path is clear, but for the thousands of sentient beings in the star-gazing world, it is not a good thing."
"This matter is related to the future destiny of the Star Observation World. The power of our Star Sect is irresistible. We need to contact the Sun and Moon Sect as soon as possible and gather the power of the three sects to have a chance to find a future for the Star Observation World."
"Leave this matter to me, Xiao Zhong, you can rest in peace and recover from your injuries. This time you sacrificed your life for the stargazing community. Everyone is responsible for your injuries. Those old guys have to come up with something good no matter what.
