This old man is described as old, with dark skin, rough skin on the surface of the body, and relatively strong bones. He looks like he has experienced heavy physical labor all year round.
He slowly bowed down to Zhu Yi and said respectfully: "Master."
Zhu Yi looked at the old man in front of him and said, "Yunsheng, the hundred years have expired. It's time for you to come back."
The old man bowed to the ground and said softly: "Yes, Master."
Zhu Yi no longer personally accepts disciples. The second-generation true disciples of Qiantian Palace in the past have all matured and become the pillars of Xuanmen Tianzong.
It’s just that if they appeared here at this moment, no one would be able to believe that the old man in front of them, who described the vicissitudes of life and seemed to have no cultivation at all, was actually the top second-generation true disciple of Qiantian Palace back then, and even the entire sect. One of the characters, Xu Yunsheng!
Once upon a time, until the Kunlun Mountain Dharma Conference, Xu Yunsheng and Ying Luozha were both known as the "double pride" among the second-generation true disciples of the entire sect. At that time, except for Dao Yuting's special situation, their only opponents were each other.
In the competition between the two of them, Xu Yunsheng still had a slight advantage.
This is a battle of strength between the two, and in terms of popularity within the sect, Xu Yunsheng is much better than Ying Luozha. At that time, Xu Yunsheng was the leader of the younger generation in the sect, and his future was bright. , almost all the true disciples of the Qiantian Palace lineage follow his lead.
It’s just that twenty-five years ago in the world, Xu Yunsheng, who had just formed an elixir, suddenly disappeared from the sect and was never heard from again.
Regarding his whereabouts, Lin Feng and Zhu Yi also kept secret and did not reveal anything. They only said that Yunsheng went out for training and was safe and sound. However, he just disappeared from the world and had no communication with anyone, including his. My sister Xu Miaoying is included.
And the old man who appeared in front of Zhu Yi now was clearly the influential figure in the second-generation true biography, and was also Zhu Yi's favorite disciple, Xu Yunsheng.
The speed of time in the Xuantian Realm is four times that of the outside world. Twenty-five years have passed in the vast world, and a hundred years have passed in the Xuantian Realm.
What is not known is that Xu Yunsheng has been banned from cultivating, hiding his identity, and working in the mineral veins of Xuantian Realm during these hundred years.
In the first fifty years, under the arrangement of Zhu Yi, he also experienced his first "end of life", then changed places, regained his youth, and started the second fifty years again.
During these two periods of life, he experienced hard work, birth, old age, illness and death that every mortal would have, and he went through hundreds of years like this.
To this day, when the hundred years expired, not one day earlier nor one day later, his master Zhu Yi personally brought him back to Yujing Mountain from Xuantian Realm.
Zhu Yi looked at Xu Yunsheng, and his mind moved slightly. Xu Yunsheng felt as if he suddenly felt light on his body.
The dusty golden elixir regained its brilliance and vitality, and streams of magical energy were re-infused into his old and shriveled body.
Xu Yunsheng knelt on the ground and did not move, but his wrinkled, dry and rough skin began to become rosy and plump again, and his pale hair became black and shiny again.
His rickety back gradually straightened. His cloudy eyes became clear again. Although he was still wearing a rag and linen robe, Xu Yunsheng's whole appearance and temperament, from the inside to the outside, had become completely different.
He turned back into the golden elixir stage monk he once was, and back into that handsome young man. Hundreds of years seemed to have left no trace on him.
Only a pair of eyes makes the vicissitudes of life more peaceful and calm.
Xu Yunsheng used to be humble and courteous to others and friendly and kind to others, but underneath his peaceful appearance, he had deep pride and low self-esteem.
Like an eagle with broken wings, it flies upwards arrogantly and persistently, but is worried that it may fall at any time.
Unlike Yingluozha's unabashed unruliness, Xu Yunsheng, who seems to be modest, is also aloof in his heart.
But now, his eyes are as calm as water, his pride has gradually turned into self-confidence and indifference, and his inferiority complex has disappeared.
Xu Yunsheng bowed deeply to Zhu Yi: "Master, disciple, are back."
The life he longed for most in the past, the bright world, he finally returned here from the dark veins of Xuantian Realm.
There is no longer the Great Zhou Dynasty standing behind him, holding his hand, no longer worrying that his identity may be revealed at any time, no longer needing to be tortured in his heart because he wants to be unfavorable to his master, no longer needing to worry, and looking forward to it in front of him.
His life and the bright world will completely leave him.
From now on, when he stands in the sun, there is only his own shadow behind him, and there are no longer those ghosts.
Even if he has toiled hard for a hundred years in the Xuantian Realm and gone through two long years of an ordinary person's life, he still enjoys it.
Zhu Yi looked at Xu Yunsheng in front of him and said: "Yunsheng, when you return to the sect, everything will start again. When you look back on these hundred years, you will find that it was not completely wasted, but at the moment, you are indeed better than others."
A hundred years less."
"A hundred years in the Xuantian Realm and twenty-five years in the Great Thousand World. There have been many changes. Everything has changed."
Xu Yunsheng smiled and said, "Master, I understand, I'm ready."
Even if Zhu Yi didn't say anything, Xu Yunsheng had already thought of many things before he entered the Xuantian Realm.
Twenty-five years in the world, including the help of Xuanmen Tianzong Zhouguangtang and Xuantian Zhouguangdongtian in accelerating time, is not too long for many forces in the world of cultivation. Some people even retreat in one time.
All are longer.
But for the disciples of Xuanmen Tianzong, this period of time is enough to bring about earth-shaking changes.
Xu Yunsheng himself is a disciple of the Xuanmen Tianzong, so how could he not know what kind of progress his fellow disciples, and even the junior disciples who would join later, would make?
At this moment, he is still in the early stage of Jindan cultivation, but the second-generation true disciples who were of the same generation as him in the past, without exception, have far surpassed him in cultivation level.
In the more than ten years since the end of the war between the two realms, not only the second generation of true disciples, except Dao Yuting, but also more Yuanshen realm monks, Yuanying stage monks and Jindan stage monks from the Xuanmen Tianzong have emerged.
It was a blowout, forming a huge amount that made the entire Tianyuan world look at it.
Not to mention the second-generation true disciples, many of the third-generation true disciples have already formed Nascent Souls.
Not only his contemporaries, but also his junior fellow apprentices and nephews, have come from behind, leaving Xu Yunsheng far behind.
This was still the case when Xuanmen Tianzong postponed the entry of the fourth generation of true disciples, otherwise Xu Yunsheng might even face the embarrassing situation of his disciples and grandchildren.
In fact, this is not uncommon among some forces that have been inherited for a long time. The predecessors waste their time while the younger generations catch up.
But for Xu Yunsheng, it is really a test to keep his mentality unbalanced under the impact of these changes.
After all, among the second generation of true disciples in the past, he was not an ordinary person, but was once the top hero. Even with the Xuanmen Tianzong recruiting talented people, Tang Jun, Zhou Yuncong, Han Yang and others started, he must
Under normal circumstances, Yunsheng is also a figure who is firmly in the top ten.
And these years were not spent by him because he was complacent, wasted them, and did not work hard to make progress. Instead, he was completely blank and couldn't even try hard.
However, Xu Yunsheng looked as normal and said with a smile: "Even the golden elixir stage monks can live for a thousand years. Although the disciples have a hundred years of blank time, they still have time to work hard now."
"After everyone has achieved Yuan Shen, their lifespan will be endless. At that time, if you want to be promoted, it will take a long time. If a disciple devotes himself to cultivation, he may not have a chance to catch up with other brothers."
His tone was calm, neither arrogant nor impetuous, but he was also full of confidence in himself.
After a hundred years of training in Xuantian Realm, he is indeed not without gains. If he were the same person back then and suddenly found in the current environment, he might easily have mental obstacles, but now he is walking on a flat ground and his mind is not disturbed at all.
.
Over the years, the tempering of his mind and will is enough for him to benefit from it throughout his life. He does not compare with others, but only with himself. In the future, his cultivation path will be much smoother than before.
However, as he progresses, others will definitely not stay still. The missing hundred years are real.
Xu Yunsheng would never imagine that after coming out of Xuantian Realm and embarking on the path of cultivation again, he could reach the sky in one step, become Yuanying instantly, and become Yuanshen instantly.
If it were so easy to practice, then all the golden elixir-level monks in the world would have gone to self-proclaimed cultivation to do hard labor for a hundred years, and there would have been tens of thousands of strong Yuan Shen practitioners all over the world.
His gains are real, and so are his efforts. What he needs to do now is to practice seriously, convert the gains into actual gains, apply them to his own practice, and strive to catch up.
Make up for lost time.
Although it may be a lot awkward to meet old friends again and meet many junior disciples whom he doesn't even know.
Although compared to those within his own sect, if he goes out again in the future, the pointing fingers from other forces in the outside world will be more embarrassing, and there will even be contempt and ridicule, and some people will even use him as a stain to ridicule the Xuanmen Tianzong.
.
But Xu Yunsheng had already been mentally prepared for all this before he entered the Xuantian Realm, so his state of mind would not fluctuate at this moment.
What really made Xu Yunsheng feel a little turbulent was that there were a few people that he would eventually have to face again.
Although there is no news in Xuantian Realm, Zhu Yi still hasn't done anything completely. He will tell Xu Yunsheng simple news about Xu Miaoying, so that he can feel at ease, so Xu Yunsheng knows that his sister worships Yang Tiemen
Xueyi is already a Yuan Ying stage monk, with the Taoist name Yuan Lin Zhenjun.
The other person, Xu Yunsheng, has never heard from her. Although he keeps telling himself to forget, he will always linger in his heart. (To be continued)
