Chapter 39: Enemies on all sides and the end of the road
Seeing this giant centipede in the valley, except for the Shinto monk who had escaped early, all his divine soldiers, divine generals, protectors and the altar here had been destroyed by him, except for the foundation, so he waved his tail,
Return leisurely to the mountain gate of Gu Shen Sect.
Along the way, he was still thinking about this matter in his mind, and sneered from time to time: "In my world, Yuyu, even in ancient times, the Taoist sect was dominated by the authentic sect. The Shinto monks can only be regarded as heretical and can't get on the stage at all. Now although the Taoist sect
It is not considered prosperous, but the eight major sects, the Loose Cultivator Alliance, and other middle-level sects with inherited origins in the Western Wilderness are controlled by places that prohibit Shinto monks from preaching. This guy's achievement is so great that he has paid attention to it.
Those tribesmen in Wanda Mountain obviously don’t take me seriously!”
Although the monks of the Gu Shen Sect look weird and terrifying, in fact, the way they achieve the soul is also the authentic Taoist sect, which is in the same line as the sword cultivation method.
"Gu insect life intertwined cultivation", it also needs to go through the seven steps of training, nourishing qi, leaving the body, entraining qi, soul, golden elixir, and Yin Shen. To achieve the soul, it also needs to break through illusions, so Bai Centipede often uses the authentic Taoist sect to achieve success.
Self-proclaimed.
Of course, compared to the extremely authentic Taoist sects like the Penglai Sect, the Gu Shen Sect is still slightly different. Most of their cultivation is based on their natal Gu worms, so choosing their natal Gu worms is the top priority in their practice. If they can
If you choose a good ancient or even ancient alien species, your future cultivation path will be much easier. For example, Bai Centipede's natal poisonous insect, Hidden-Winged Centipede, is an ancient alien species, which is quite extraordinary.
Moreover, they have the feedback from their natal Gu insects that the firm path to achieve the golden elixir and the severing of illusions to achieve the soul are simpler than Taoist sects like the Penglai sect.
Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages. Gu insects grow slower than humans, and their cultivation progress is equally slow. There are often monks who have not waited for the feedback of their natal Gu insects until the end of their lifespan. In addition, affected by the Gu insects' natural fear of thunder, they
It is much more difficult to survive the heavenly tribulations, so although the Gu Shen Sect has a long history, the true soul of the sect often falls under the heavenly tribulations, and currently there is only one Bai Centipede.
This huge centipede is Bai Centipede's natal insect, the hidden-winged ten thousand-footed centipede. Its body is delaying the catastrophe in the mountain gate, so the natal insect can only come out to deal with the matter. Thousands of pairs of invisible wings on its body are flapping.
, turned into a silent wind, and arrived outside the mountain gate in an instant.
Looking at the formation arranged inside the mountain gate to delay the catastrophe, the huge hidden-winged ten thousand-footed centipede sighed longly: "When I think of the Western Wilderness, I think of the old ghost Liuyun. He is really just silent and a blockbuster. I saw him a hundred years ago.
At that time, he was still delaying the Heavenly Tribulation like I was. Unexpectedly, in less than a hundred years, he would already be the real Yang Shen of Yijia. But if you can't imitate him, Zhu Yanzi of the Tianhuo Sect will fall under the Heavenly Tribulation. Alas, I won't wait.
This hidden-winged ten-thousand-footed centipede has grown to the point where it has ten thousand pairs of wings, and will never take the initiative to cause a catastrophe."
Sighing, the giant centipede slowly became smaller and penetrated into the sect's formation.

The land of Middle Earth, the capital of the gods.
"National Master, the rebels of the Dongyuan Sect have camped a hundred miles outside the city and are preparing to attack the city." A military general wearing heavy armor saluted a middle-aged Taoist priest in black clothes.
Xu Chengzhou, the Imperial Preceptor of the Da'an Dynasty, had a pale face, a few long black beards under his chin, and a fairy-like spirit. A silver-white snow whisk was placed on his left elbow. He nodded in response: "I already know, you go up to the tower to prepare the method."
Altar, I will do it later and catch all those rebellious people."
This general was very superstitious about the imperial master. After listening to Xu Chengzhou's instructions, he responded respectfully and hurried to the tower.
When the military general disappeared from sight, Xu Chengzhou sighed without leaving a trace. The Da'an Dynasty was suppressed by the righteous people of the Guizhen Sect. As time went by, peace and military preparedness were weakened. Even among the Guizhen Sect, each generation was worse than the last. In his own generation
, actually only I can break through to the out-of-body stage.
If the world is as usual, this is not a big deal. I can suppress it enough, and then slowly cultivate a few good seedlings, hoping that two or three can break through to the outside body.
Who would have thought that in less than ten months since the Dongyuan Sect appeared in front of the imperial court, the Da'an Dynasty was already on the verge of collapse. It was attacked from the edge of the Shiwan Mountain in the south to the divine capital. It is said that in the cave
There are dozens of masters in the out-of-body period in the Yuanjiao army. Even the Pudu Bodhisattva Temple, which usually follows the rules but has many guardians in the out-of-body period, has been defeated. Now they have retreated to the Yangzhou area where they made their fortune.
The road ahead is difficult and dangerous, but Xu Chengzhou has no way to retreat. If he is one of those brothers, uncles and other people who are not good at learning and are greedy for life and fear of death, they must have taken away their property and traveled far away. With his cultivation, he will not be able to go anywhere in the world.
, but Xu Chengzhou understood that he was the Xu family and the last support of the Da'an Dynasty. Once he left, the Xu family's history of more than 300 years would immediately fall apart. How could he be worthy of the ancestors of the Xu family, and how could he be worthy of the three Guizhen sects?
Patriarch!
"National Master, the altar is ready." The general returned quickly.
Xu Chengzhou took a deep breath, nodded, said nothing, and walked slowly towards the tower with steady steps.
His dozen or so servants, disciples of the Gui Zhen Sect, followed him at a distance, but a few of them were whispering.
"Senior Brother Li, do you think we will win this game?" A servant with an ordinary face asked a disciple of the Guizhen Sect.
The disciple surnamed Li sneered: "How to win? There are dozens of opponents with the same level of cultivation as the master of the temple! Although the master of the temple is a national master, he is not three-headed and six-armed, so how can he stop him!"
Another disciple said in surprise: "Didn't you say that it was made up by the defeated generals in front of you? They don't have any Taoist skills."
"Humph, making it up? Look how many disciples of the Xu family are here? Except for the Imperial Master, none of them are here!" The disciple surnamed Li said angrily, but in his eyes that seemed to be half-closed, there were things that were vague and vague, and it was difficult to see them.
The golden flame that catches the attention of others dances,
After listening to the words of the disciple surnamed Li, these servants and disciples all turned pale. They thought that following the imperial master was a good job, but unexpectedly they were here to die. So after walking quietly for a while, they quietly asked: "Then what should we do?
?”
The disciple surnamed Li sneered again: "We are not surnamed Xu, so why do we have to work for the Xu family? Usually those Xu family disciples are all arrogant and don't work hard at practice, but they have to occupy resources. Huh, it's not as good as the Guizhen Sect.
Just change the name to the Xu family!"
These words made the disciples feel the same. It was obviously a cultivation sect, but in fact it was the style of a cultivation family. What could be used to make these disciples with foreign surnames return?
"Senior Brother Li, let's find a chance to leave!" Thinking of all the depression in the past, the disciples no longer wanted to serve the Da'an Dynasty.
The disciple surnamed Li showed a ferocious smile: "Why are you leaving? Why don't you try your luck in glory and wealth? The Dongyuan Sect has always been very generous to those who surrender."
Servants and disciples became quiet, as if they could hear their own heartbeats. For a long time, they were about to go up to the tower, and then they whispered: "Everything is at the discretion of Senior Brother Li."
…………
Xu Chengzhou stood behind the altar and looked at the densely packed soldiers and horses outside the city tower. Once there were more than ten thousand people, it was endless! And among the soldiers and horses, there were twenty or thirty conspicuous figures wearing golden armor, who were members of the Dongyuan Sect.
Divine weapons! All of them have the cultivation level of the out-of-body period!
After calming down, Xu Chengzhou had already entertained the idea of becoming a benevolent person if he didn't succeed, and was about to activate the magic altar, but suddenly he felt the fluctuation of a small magical power behind his back. He was unable to touch and defend himself, and was hit directly by the small golden thorn on his vest.
But Xu Chengzhou is not a reckless person. He activated a soil-absorbing armor talisman long before he went to the altar, so a layer of loess formed on his body, blocking out the little golden thorn.
When he was about to activate the talisman and use his small magical power to kill the people behind him, he saw several fireballs, ice blades, and blue thunder coming towards him.
"How could this happen?" Xu Chengzhou slowly fell down and murmured in disbelief, why did all his servants and disciples betray him?
Before his death, Xu Chengzhou inspired many talismans and seals collected by the Guizhen Sect through the ages, and saw the brilliance of all the spells on the tower shining brightly, and everyone perished together.

Luojing City, in the imperial palace.
"What, the city of Shendu has been breached?!" Xu Chenggao, who was wearing Minghuang emperor's robe, took a few steps back and almost lost his balance.
The young eunuch said with fear on his face: "Reporting to your majesty, Shendu City has indeed been breached, and the Dongyuan Sect's army is coming towards Luojing."
Xu Chenggao's face turned pale. He took two steps forward and grabbed the young eunuch by his collar: "Where is the Imperial Preceptor? Where is the Imperial Preceptor?!"
"The Imperial Preceptor, the Imperial Preceptor was killed by a traitor and has already died for the country." The little eunuch was extremely frightened.
"Traitors?! Why have I ever treated them poorly? Why did they betray the Da'an Dynasty?" Xu Chenggao's face turned green, as if he was extremely angry, "I want to kill them! Quickly call all the princes, ministers, and generals to come, I want to attack
The army went to destroy the Dongyuan Sect!"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, those princes have already run away, and the ministers and generals have already gone to open the city gate and prepare to surrender to the Dongyuan Cult!" the little eunuch cried.
Xu Chenggao took a few steps back, sat down on the ground, and then laughed wildly, sad and sad.
Hearing his laughter, a beautiful woman wearing a robe came out from the back of the palace and sat on her knees next to him: "Your Majesty, the matter has come to an end. Let us die for our country. Those ministers and generals can surrender."
, but we cannot surrender."
Xu Chenggao was silent for a while, then stood up suddenly and staggered out of the hall.
"Your Majesty, where are you going?" The queen chased after him and grabbed him.
Xu Chenggao smiled sadly: "Since I succeeded to the throne, I have worked hard and diligently, and there have been no natural disasters or civil disasters. I did not expect to find myself in such a situation. I am really ashamed of my ancestors. But I am not willing to accept it.
I’m not convinced! I’m going to the Patriarch’s Hall of Guizhenguan now to ask the Patriarch to show his spirit and suppress all those monsters who are causing harm to the country!”
"But Your Majesty, although there are rumors that the Patriarch has become a true immortal and often plays in the mortal world, in the past two hundred years, praying for the Patriarch has never appeared. Therefore, in the past hundred years, no one has believed this rumor. Why put your hope on this
Above." The Queen seemed to have given up.
Xu Chenggao stumbled out of the palace door, and his voice fell: "The end is already over, why not give it a try!"
