The battle for spiritual stone resources on Phantom Island in the East China Sea eventually evolved into a battle between the Crystal Palace, the Sky Splitting Sword Sect and the True Spirit Sect. The Crystal Palace still seemed to have a clear advantage, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Crystal Palace had already
It's no longer what it used to be.
A Holy Land, one True Spirit Ancestor plus two or three Chunyangs cannot have the absolute advantage over a newly rising large sect like the True Spirit Sect that only has one Pure Yang.
A hundred years later, the strength of the True Spirit Sect has increased again, and the Sky Splitting Sword Sect has also become full-fledged. The Crystal Palace will become increasingly helpless in the face of the persecution of the two sects.
However, the disputes between these three families were eventually overshadowed by the strong rise of the spirit demon clan. Ancestor Long Huai, who was born in the spirit demon clan, became a true spirit in the land of the fallen. His strength and cultivation shocked Yuan Jiu, Xiao Baiyu and others.
Together with Lu Tianping, they personally turned the fallen dense land into a habitat for the spirit demon clan overseas. The three great supernatural powers did not dare to have the slightest objection in front of Patriarch Long Huai.
For a time, Patriarch Long Huai was unparalleled in the world of cultivation, and some good people made Patriarch Long Huai the number one monk in the world. However, only the top monks from the human and demon races in the world of cultivation would accept Elder Long Huai from the Crystal Palace and other three sects.
A message conveyed to them by Zu's entrustment: After the monks of your sect who had achieved true spirituality in the past went to the Northern Icefield, did their soul lamps go out?
In a simple sentence, it seems that all major forces in the entire cultivation world have never paid too much attention to the rise of the spirit demon clan. However, only a truly discerning person can detect the indifferent attitude of the human and demon clans.
Very weird.
The birth of a true spirit monk, the rise of a race that has never been taken seriously, these are forces that can change the general trend of the entire cultivation world overnight. How could the major sects, forces, tribes and races in the cultivation world behave like this?
Wen Buwen, this unusual calmness is the biggest weirdness!
After Patriarch Yuanjiu returned to the Crystal Palace, Patriarch Yuanfeng came to apologize with a look of shame on his face. Unexpectedly, Patriarch Yuanjiu didn't care at all. Instead, he turned to ask: "Uncle Master's soul lamp is extinguished?"
?”
On the contrary, Patriarch Yuanfeng did not react for a while. It was not until Patriarch Yuanjiu asked again that he realized that he was talking about Patriarch Danzhu. He then said indifferently: "Of course it is destroyed. After the True Spirit monks of all generations went to the Northern Icefield, the soul lamp
Aren’t they all destroyed? Didn’t the ancestral monks say that after the true spirit monks went to the Northern Icefield, the soul lamp went out on its own because of the complete separation from this world..."
At this time, Patriarch Yuanfeng saw that something was wrong with Patriarch Yuanjiu’s expression. Patriarch Yuanfeng didn’t know why, so he asked tentatively: “Senior brother,...”
Ancestor Yuanjiu let out a long sigh, with a lot of uncertainty in his words, and said: "That is just the speculation of the ancestors monks about the extinguishing of the soul lamp, and this guess is almost the consensus of all the major holy places, and those who have appeared
Although the sect of True Spirit Monks doesn’t know the details of the major holy places, they probably keep this kind of thing secret out of fear.”
Patriarch Yuanfeng said in confusion: "Since every sect is like this, senior brother, what do you have to worry about?"
Ancestor Yuanjiu smiled bitterly and said: "The so-called consensus is just a kind of speculation jointly recognized by all the major holy places. In fact, after the founders of the major holy places went to the Northern Icefield one after another, the extinguishing of the soul lamp also caused confusion among various families.
In the panic in the Holy Land, even among the second, third, and fourth generations of True Spirit monks, there were cases where some would rather die in the sect’s Small Thousand World than go to the Northern Icefield, but these people could never stay in the Small Thousand World.
for more than five hundred years."
Patriarch Yuanfeng asked subconsciously: "Why?"
If what Patriarch Yuanjiu is talking about now were usually secrets that only Chunyang monks in the Crystal Palace are qualified to know, today, for some unknown reason, Patriarch Yuanjiu is telling them all in one breath in front of Patriarch Yuanfeng.
Said it out.
"What else could it be? How many years does it take for a Pure Yang monk to become a true spirit? How much life will he have left after five hundred years? How many geniuses like Xiao Baiyu and Lu Tianping do you think there will be in this world?
?Five hundred years after becoming a true spirit, after leaving this world, is it still possible to improve your cultivation to a higher level than becoming a true spirit before your lifespan is exhausted?"
Ancestor Yuanjiu continued: "The most important thing is that the True Spirit Sect monks hiding in the Small Thousand World does not mean they can sit back and relax. After becoming the True Spirit, even if the monks no longer deliberately practice, their cultivation will remain extremely stable.
With a growth rate of approximately between 500 and 800 years, the True Spirit monk's cultivation level will automatically reach a new bottleneck. At this time, even if the monk hides in the Small Thousand World, he will not be able to escape this situation.
The rejection from the Fang World, and what the True Spirit monks will face this time is heaven’s punishment!”
"Curse?"
"Yes, heaven's punishment! Death is inevitable! Therefore, the true spirit monks in major holy places will often be replaced between three to five hundred years. Very few true spirit monks will stay in this world for more than five years.
After all, no True Spirit Ancestor dares to joke with his own life in a hundred years."
At this time, even Patriarch Yuanfeng had noticed that something was wrong with Patriarch Yuanjiu's mood, but at this time, Patriarch Yuanfeng had no choice but to continue listening along with Patriarch Yuanjiu.
"So they can only go to the Northern Icefield and choose to leave this world by trusting the passage left by the Seventh Patriarch of Kaitian for them. Moreover, the previous fear about the soul lamp going out has become that they will naturally cut off their connection with this world after leaving this world.
As time goes by, this guess has become an inevitable knowledge."
Ancestor Yuanfeng felt a thump in his heart, and there was even cold sweat oozing out from his forehead. He asked cautiously: "What do you mean, senior brother?"
Ancestor Yuanjiu smiled bitterly and said: "Ancestor Long Huai sent a message to the cultivation world, saying that the true spirit monks who have gone to the North Icefield to try to leave this world have not actually left, but have all died!"
"What?" Ancestor Yuanfeng was startled, but then he laughed dumbly and said, "How is this possible?"
However, seeing the expression on Patriarch Yuanjiu's face, Patriarch Yuanfeng stammered: "Senior brother, this, this can't be true, can it?"
"It's hard to say!" Ancestor Yuanjiu actually had a hint of ruthlessness in his expression as he said, "It seems that after five hundred years, we will have to leave this northern ice field!"
…
At the same time, on Jade Sword Island in the East China Sea, a pavilion-like spatial spiritual treasure appeared above the island. It was the Small Thousand Worlds that Xiao Baiyu had snatched from Jiuxuan Tower.
In Xiaoqian World, Xiao Baiyu and Zhu Bajie were sitting opposite each other. Xiao Baiyu asked: "How much do you believe in the words of Patriarch Long Huai?"
Sister Zhu Ba's expression changed, and she was obviously also shaken by the news that Xiao Baiyu told her ancestor Longhuai that all the true spirit monks who went to the northern ice field perished.
After a long time, Sister Zhu Ba regained her composure and said: "After the true spirit monks of the Jiuxuan Tower went to the Northern Icefield, the soul lamps retained in the sect were indeed extinguished."
Xiao Baiyu looked as if this was the case, and said: "It seems that the ancestor Long Huai does know something that others don't know! Could it be that he is really a clone of Taoist Jiao who has developed independent consciousness, and really has Taoist Jiao?
The memory left behind?”
Sister Zhu Ba said: "If what the ancestor Long Huai said is true, this is really a huge conspiracy. From the beginning of the world to the present, not a single monk who has achieved true spirituality has left this world, but they all died in the north."
The so-called passage out of this world set up by the Seventh Patriarch of the Ice Plains can almost shake the faith of all the monks in the entire cultivation world. What are you going to do?"
Xiao Baiyu pondered for a moment and said solemnly: "That Long Huai moved the world with his words, and then invited all the true spirit monks from all over the world to gather in the Northern Icefield in five hundred years. Regardless of whether what he said is true or false, he will go to the North in five hundred years.
Bingyuan and everyone went to find out. If what Long Huai said was true, at least several true spirit monks would have gone there in the past three hundred years, and they could work together to break this shackles. If what he said was false, then everyone would also go there.
They will definitely attack them in groups."
Sister Zhu Ba was worried: "Does Ancestor Long Huai have some conspiracy? If he really has the memory of Taoist Jiao, he will definitely have something to rely on in the Northern Icefield. Have you ever thought that maybe this was a conspiracy designed by him?"
Xiao Baiyu looked thoughtful, but finally said: "It's not like I haven't thought about this, but I won't feel at ease if I don't get to the bottom of it, not to mention that Long Huai doesn't have the means to prove what he said is true."
"How to prove it?"
Xiao Baiyu smiled "hehe" and said: "Yuwen Family!"
Sister Zhu Ba was about to ask again, but Xiao Baiyu reached out and stopped, saying: "In order to prove the doubts in his heart, the top people from the human and demon races in the world must gather in the Yuwen Family. Whether it is or not, the Yuwen Family will not escape destruction this time.
It’s a disaster, but these are trivial matters. The key to the problem lies in what our sect should do in these five hundred years!”
Sister Zhu Ba said: "What are your plans?"
"Middle-earth!" Xiao Baiyu said resolutely: "The Crystal Palace is deeply rooted. We can't compete with the Longhuai Ancestor behind the spirit demon clan. The East China Sea is only so big, but now there is room for expansion in Middle-earth."
Sister Zhu Ba said: "You mean Jiuxuan Tower?"
Xiao Baiyu glanced at her and said, "Not bad."
Sister Zhu Ba frowned and said, "But in that case, the sects along the coast of China may not agree easily, especially since the Tianyue Sect is an ally of the Sky-Splitting Sword Sect."
Xiao Baiyu said coldly: "At this moment, the Sky Splitting Sword Sect is no longer worried about foreign enemies. What it worries about is its sphere of influence and training resources. This can only be fought for from the old place of Jiuxuan Tower. Tianyue Sect
If you stand in the way, for the sake of the continuation of the sect’s inheritance, you will have no choice but to turn against each other!”
Sister Zhu Ba nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go!"
"No, you can't go!"
Looking at Sister Zhu Ba's surprised expression, Xiao Baiyu said: "You will practice with me, and in five hundred years you will succeed me in taking charge of this small world!"
Sister Zhu Ba looked stunned and said in disbelief: "You want me to take charge of the Sky-Splitting Sword Sect?"
Xiao Baiyu's eyes flickered and said: "Yes, I don't want Jianfei to take a shortcut to become a true spirit, but I want him to try it first with his own strength. However, Jianfei's qualifications are not as amazing as that of Lu Tianping."
In other words, after five hundred years he may not be able to achieve the true spirit. This will require you as a mother to transition for a period of time. After he achieves the true spirit, you can hand over the sect to his hands. In this way, you can
There is also a chance to achieve true spirituality, and other monks in the sect dare not say anything else!"
