Chapter 38 The grand ceremony is held, evil guests come to the door
The power of time is irresistible. Even the so-called immortal existence only has a life that can be continuously restored and never withers. It does not really transcend time.
In fact, even the God of Creation cannot transcend time. The best evidence is that there is no magical power in the world that can reverse the flow of time.
Regarding the issue of "time", no matter how great a being is, it can only do some specious things.
At least as far as Wu Jie knew, the supreme divine monarch back then could not transcend time.
What even the Supreme God cannot do, it is certainly impossible for a mere Taoist from Sanshan to do it.
More than sixty years have been too long for this casual cultivator who cannot even enter the underworld, reaching half of his entire life.
If we randomly find a forty-year-old person and ask: "Can you list some unfamiliar people you occasionally met when you were twenty?" I believe that nine out of ten people will shake their heads blankly and even list a name.
Not coming out. This is the case for Sanshan Taoist. To him, Wujiaji is just
A place where he hid and cultivated from the age of fifty to sixty. Although he was only in the innate realm at that time, relying on the magic arts and treasures obtained by chance, ordinary hundred-refined monks were not even in his eyes, and even
Even with the weaker monk Tongyou, he had the confidence to fight.
As such an expert, he naturally disdained any interaction with those mortals, so he simply acted withdrawn and indifferent, and even made his own residence deserted in order to drive away those annoying things.
His approach was undoubtedly successful. There were hundreds of people in the entire Wu family, and no one had the slightest interest in Sanshan Temple. Except for the court servants who inspected the temple every year, Du Ruo probably came to eat after asking about the sweet smell.
.
Ordinarily, Sanshan Taoist should have some impression of Du Ruo, and Du Ruo himself thought so - after Sanshan Taoist's remnant soul defrauded her of her body, he once personally told Wu Jie that he planned to truly teach her as his disciple.
But it turned out that that guy was completely lying! Taoist Sanshan looked at Wu Jie and Du Ruo in confusion. It could be seen that he was trying to remember, but he was unable to recall anything valuable.
The girl who was once killed by him, and the boy who finally defeated his remaining conspiracy, did not leave the slightest impression on him before the story happened.
...If this question had been asked sixty years ago, he might have been able to recall some of it, but if asked again sixty years later, he would have forgotten all the unimportant things.
Wu Jie sighed, flicked his finger, and flames flew in the air, instantly turning into a reddish mirror, in which the scenes of that year were reflected.
The three-mountain martial arts showdown, the three-mountain Taoist priest who seized Du Ruo's body, the raid on the top of the mountain, the desperate duel at night in Wujiaji...
"Do you have any impression after seeing these?"
Taoist Sanshan was certainly impressed, especially when he saw the formation that could summon the projection of the demon being activated, the expression on his face was very wonderful.
First it was ecstasy, then regret, and finally fear. All the changes occurred in just one or two breaths, which was dizzying to watch, just like the most tense and intense scene on the stage.
Will miss it.
Of course Wu Jie would not miss any of his expressions. After Sanshan Taoist's expression settled on fear, he snorted coldly and made an expression like "I know everything."
Although in fact he still couldn't understand what was going on, and although he pretended not to be very similar, for Taoist Sanshan who had been imprisoned for decades and had lost all his courage, his expression was fully convincing.
Deterrence.
...In other words, Wu Jie's powerful cultivation level itself is enough to intimidate this weak casual cultivator.
So he desperately confessed everything, a "big secret" that seemed very important to him but was actually not worth mentioning to Wu Jie.
In the Demon Sect, there are often people who sneak into Kyushu. Some of these people do important things, such as Bian Liequan who refines powerful magic weapons; others just want to cause some trouble to the righteous path of Kyushu and serve as an adjustment.
Among them, there was such a demonic demon who left a treasure in a very secret place. The treasure contained many valuable things for low-level casual cultivators, but the most precious one was a specious Taoist book.
Book.
It was a secret book of magic, which recorded the refining methods of several powerful magic weapons, as well as an extremely miraculous spell.
For this treasure, many killings and fights took place, and finally a lucky man named Liu San obtained them. This wanderer who was originally just kicked out by the villagers in his hometown transformed into a master of Taoism, and became a monk decades later.
A man named "Sanshan Taoist" returned to his hometown, Wujiaji, which brought him both life and shame.
"It turns out that this guy has been setting up the magic array and wants to sacrifice the entire Wujiaji." After returning to the room, Du Ruo looked gloomy, "You, me, and everyone in the Wujiaji, are you going to do anything to him?"
They are just sacrifices."
The key to the reason why Liu San was able to practice Taoism as a mortal with poor qualifications in just over ten years was the spells in the secret book. Those spells could benefit from the devils by offering sacrifices to the devils outside the territory.
The reason why he was able to step into the innate realm was that he sacrificed more than ten drunkards who were deceived and received rewards from the devil.
But his qualifications were really poor and he was unwilling to work hard, so he made little progress after practicing for a long time. Under such circumstances, he naturally thought of the sacrifice spell.
Only this time, he plans to play a big game!
In fact, if Zhen Han and others had not arrested him in time, he originally planned to sacrifice the entire Wu family collection on the winter solstice of that year, the longest night of the year, in order to receive another reward from the demon.
So that you can enter the realm of hundreds of refinements.
However, as the saying goes, evil never defeats good. Before Liu San's conspiracy could be implemented, he was discovered by Zhen Han of the Yulong Sect, who went everywhere to do chivalry and justice. After a fierce battle, his methods were of no use to the newly formed Zhao Ye King Kong.
, was captured alive, and was imprisoned in this dark dungeon ever since, serving sixty years of hard labor.
Over the past sixty years, Liu San has worn away the laziness and idleness in his bones, and he has also sharpened some of the temperament that a monk should have. This guy's luck is really good, and he actually made a breakthrough in this situation.
Entered the realm of hundreds of refinements.
Looking back on his life, he was quite emotional about his fate, and he didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
However... he has never been able to recall anything related to Wu Jie and Du Ruo.
He didn't know that within a secret treasure that he had originally cultivated to escape death, the split soul was still causing trouble after he was captured, not only killing Du Ruo, but also almost completing his evil plan.
He also didn't know that by coincidence, he became an opportunity for Wu Jie to seek Taoism.
Of course Wu Jie and Du Ruo didn't say anything, and the questioning ended just like that.
After many years of doubts, he finally got an unexpected answer, and Du Ruo seemed a little unhappy.
But she is an open-minded person after all. She could laugh off life and death at the beginning, so what does this trivial matter mean?
So in less than an hour, she regained her cheerfulness.
"Taoist Sanshan failed to get me as his disciple. It was his mistake - if he could get involved with me, maybe with my help, he would have been able to see Tongyou and even become Gang Qi!"
Wu Jie nodded and wisely did not say, "It is more likely that you two, master and disciple, were hacked to death somewhere out of spite...".
Ignoring Sanshan Taoist who would continue to be imprisoned until death, Du Ruo let go of a small worry and began to concentrate on silent cultivation. She felt that she had found an opportunity to make progress, and declared that after this silent cultivation, she should be able to make some progress.
.
Of course Wu Jie is looking forward to her breaking through again - her last breakthrough was just the result of receiving a gift from humanity, not a substantial improvement in her own cultivation, but this time, it must be completely different!
But he couldn't help but feel a little regretful. Du Ruo was practicing in seclusion, and Jasmine was also in seclusion to refine a powerful magical weapon that could restrain the magic power according to his request. Among the three residents of the Book of Heaven, the only one who had the time and energy to
The only person he chatted with was the taciturn and expressionless Du Xin.
Chatting with Du Xin is definitely not a pleasant thing, both for them.
This dreary atmosphere made his mood, which had been somewhat relieved, gradually worsen again. On the day when the Master Yuxuan's Yuan Condensation Ceremony was held, even though he deliberately put on a relaxed and joyful appearance, he could not help but reveal an unsettling feeling.
The low pressure caused Zhou Chen, who came to invite him, to shiver as soon as he walked in.
Looking at Zhi Fei's smile, it was obvious that the temperature in the room was quite high, but Zhou Chen felt cold from the bottom of his heart.
"Zhifeizhenren, the ceremony is about to begin. Are you ready to enter now?" he asked respectfully.
Wu Jie thought for a moment, nodded, and followed him to the venue.
The Yulong Sect is not a famous sect, nor can it play any big scenes. Even the Yuan Yuan Condensation Ceremony of the Supreme Elder Yuxuan Zhenren only opened a small auditorium in the main hall of the sect, and then in
A large banquet was arranged in the courtyard.
Amidst the commotion, Wu Jie followed Zhou Chen through the banquet venue where many guests were already present and arrived at the auditorium.
The atmosphere inside the auditorium is much more solemn than outside, but even so, it doesn't look much like an immortal family. Wu Jie feels that this is not so much a celebration of immortals, but rather a birthday banquet for a wealthy farmer...
The seats in the auditorium are divided into chairperson and guest seats. The first chairperson is Liu Cheng, the current head of Yulong Sect, and Zhen Han sits in the second seat. In addition to them, the other four elders of Yulong Sect are also present.
Nothing is left out.
There are also six guest seats, and the other five have already arrived, and Wu Jie's seat is surprisingly ranked at the top of the guest seat.
While he was still in the courtyard, Wu Jie had already used his spiritual thoughts to check the cultivation levels of everyone present - except for Zhen Han, who was in the middle stage of the Astral Refining Period, the one with the highest cultivation level was the old monk who was the second guest, but he also
He had just entered the middle stage of refining the power, which was slightly inferior to Zhen Han.
He didn't mean to use his cultivation level to suppress others. Considering that he was a guest today, it was not appropriate to dominate the guest, so before entering the venue, he restrained his aura and suppressed it to the level of peak refining. This was enough.
Anyone who is familiar with Wu Jie knows that although he is not thoughtful enough or thoughtful enough, he is definitely a person who is good at thinking about others and knows how to be considerate of others.
When he entered the venue with his late martial arts cultivation, he clearly saw the face of the leader of Yulong Sect who was first surprised and then happy, and then nodded to him.
Of course, Head Liu knew that Zhifei Zhenren’s cultivation level was profound, and even surpassed that of the Supreme Elder of his sect. Although it was indeed a very honorable thing to invite an expert to watch the ceremony, to be honest... the cultivation level of the people watching the ceremony
He was taller than the person holding the ceremony, which made him somewhat embarrassed.
According to his idea, it would be best if Zhifei Zhenren could hide his identity for a while, and then fully reveal his identity when the ceremony is almost over and the congratulators are giving their congratulations. That would be the most perfect.
But how dare he make such a rude request to Wu Jie! So he just grumbled in private and that was all.
But he really didn't expect that Zhifei Zhenren really suppressed his aura and appeared at the peak of Gang Refining and the level of half-step Yuan Condensation! This kind of cultivation is the most suitable! Elder Yuxuanzi is actually just the first Condensation of Zhenyuan.
Level, in terms of cultivation, compared with what Wu Jie has shown
The performance shown is not much higher. And with Wu Jie's demonstrated cultivation, it is already a matter of course for him to condense his true essence.' | Shen Yi This not only conforms to the convention of "common monks come to watch the ceremony", but also takes good care of it.
It is indeed the best of both worlds to save the face of Elder Yuxuanzi.
But he really never expected that Zhifei Zhenren would be so condescending!
That is not an ordinary monk, he is the future head of Qingyang Guan, the upright and upright leader! In terms of his status, the most people from the Yulong Sect can do is visit him and say hello, and they don’t even have the qualifications to talk to him.
None!
Such a top expert was actually willing to deliberately hide his cultivation in order to take care of the face of Yulong Sect and Elder Yuxuan. This really moved Master Liu inexplicably!
"As expected of a famous sect! They are so polite and considerate even to small families like us... No wonder that in the Star Reaching War, when the three major sects gave the order, all the sects in Kyushu and even the masters of casual cultivators were willing to risk their lives
Danger to accompany them to the sky above the sky
, fight the Demon Sect and the Heavenly Demon in a desperate fight!" The Yulong Sect was not able to participate in the star-catching battle, and Master Liu did not quite understand those who responded to the call of the three major sects and went to the outer world regardless of life and death.
Brothers, but today, he suddenly understood!
From today on, if Qingyang Temple needs help from the Yulong Sect for anything, as long as Zhifei Zhenren says a word, he will never complain even if he risks his own life!
As a weak person, if a strong person treats you with such respect and consideration, what does your life mean?
When you practice Taoism, you are not cultivating immortality like a tortoise, but you are cultivating the freedom to travel between heaven and earth. You will be able to enjoy the freedom of being a hero and a hero!
Leader Liu's lament was seen by everyone present.
The elders of Yulong Sect naturally understood why he was moved, because they were also moved. But the other five guests were a little confused. They looked at Wu Jie who walked in with a smile, frowned a few times, and spoke in passing words.
Yin Zhifa chatted several times in private and finally came up with an answer that seemed very reasonable.
This Feixian, who is halfway to the peak of refining the power, is probably in seclusion and practicing hard. He came out of seclusion specifically to congratulate Elder Yuxuanzi on his achievement of condensing yuan. It is really a great honor!
This is reasonable, because if they were in that position, they would probably choose to continue to retreat, and at most they would just send a disciple to bring a generous gift to congratulate them.
For those who practice Taoism, their own cultivation is the most important. It is really unwise to delay one's own breakthrough in order to congratulate others.
But the so-called friendship has nothing to do with Akechi. What is a good brother? The one who can drink with you is not the one who is willing to be stabbed with you!
This fellow Taoist who seems to be very familiar to everyone is a good brother of the Yulong Sect! If they were comparing their feelings to each other, if they were Master Liu, they would definitely be very moved!
This small episode did not affect the entire ceremony. Seeing that the auspicious time had come, Master Liu stood up and acted as the master of ceremony as the leader of Yulong Sect, announcing the start of the ceremony.
Master Yuxuan’s Yuan Yuan celebration was not large in scale, nor was it solemn. It was nothing more than a speech by Master Liu. In his speech, he thanked all the colleagues for coming, thanked Master Yuxuan for his contribution to the Yulong Sect over the years, and congratulated him.
He has finally succeeded in cultivation and has reached the end of the world's laws. I hope he will soon understand the success of returning the elixir of his original heart, so that he can transcend the calamity and ascend. By the way, he looks forward to the future of Yulong Sect and makes some good wishes...
Wu Jie sat there, listening calmly to Master Liu's speech, and couldn't help but smile.
Although many of the contents of this congratulatory message are unique to the world of Xianxia, but if you listen carefully, the tone is very familiar!
Isn’t it just the kind of greeting that is common on earth?
It seems that no matter which world you are in, such speeches are actually the same.
Just as he was smiling, his heart suddenly moved slightly and his brows furrowed slightly.
In the sky, there are several breaths approaching quickly!
Although Wu Jie suppressed his aura, his cultivation in the middle stage of Yuan Condensation was not compromised at all. His divine will was still powerful, and even if he did not activate it deliberately, it was enough to cover dozens of miles around him.
At this moment, in his mind, he could clearly feel that five monks at the peak of his martial arts were approaching quickly.
The auras of these five people are different, but they all reveal a clear malice, which shows that the people who come here are not good-natured. I think they are enemies of the Yulong Sect, and they want to take advantage of this moment to cause trouble.
It's just... although each of these five people is stronger than any of the Gang Refining monks present, and even one person can defeat several of them, don't forget that the Yulong Sect also has an Elder Ning Yuan!
The gap between Ning Yuan and Lian Gang is quite obvious. Even if Elder Yuxuan of the Yulong Sect has just stepped into the Ning Yuan realm and cannot fully exert the combat effectiveness of this realm, as long as he is in charge, coupled with Yu
The elders of the Dragon Sect and the guests who came to congratulate you, these five evil guests will never take any advantage!
Not to mention taking advantage, if they were not careful, the five of them might even lose their lives!
Wu Jie was confused. He really didn't understand what these five monks at the peak of Lian Gang were thinking. Being able to practice to the peak of Lian Gang showed that they had good minds and wisdom. Such people would have a deep grudge against the Yulong Sect.
, you should also go into seclusion and practice hard, and then seek revenge after you break through the realm.
If you come here like this now, not only will you not be able to take revenge, but you may even lose your life...
He thought carefully, shook his head secretly, and activated a secret technique in the Fire Department Zhengfa. His spiritual thoughts became obscure and broad, covering a larger area.
This time, he finally understood the reason.
In the distant sky, there is a monk in the middle stage of Condensation, looking coldly at this side i
