Countless escaping lights appeared in brilliant colors, converging towards the bamboo forest from all directions.
Some of the spirit beasts on the island raised their heads strangely, staring blankly at the various lights in the sky, wondering why these immortals were running away in such a hurry.
However, the fastest ones belong to the Zhao Gongming brother and sister.
The bamboo forest was right behind their cave, so when auspicious clouds began to gather in the sky outside and fairy music sounded, they were immediately aware of it.
When they hurriedly escaped from the cave, they saw a black-yellow aura of merit descending from the sky.
And when they saw the Qi of Merit and Virtue sinking into Qi Yuan's body, even with Zhao Gongming's advanced state and his mind as calm as the sky was falling, they couldn't help but be stunned and speechless.
They have been practicing for tens of thousands of years, have experienced countless disasters, and have seen countless bizarre events.
However, now I am still surprised to see Qi Yuan once again causing Heaven to send merit.
Between heaven and earth, from ancient times to the present, except for a very small number of existences, have they ever heard of anyone being able to obtain the energy of merit one after another?
Moreover, among those beings who have gained the aura of merit and virtue, which one is not a powerful person who can suppress one party.
It's good now that this junior member of my family is actually in front of them, repeatedly inducing the heaven to send down merits. Isn't it your family's fault that the heaven is yours?
Although it is said that Taoist Hongjun, who is in harmony with Tianhe, can indeed be regarded as the ancestor of Qi Yuan, but there are so many juniors of Taoist Hongjun, how can he have any special care for Qi Yuan?
Why did this kid gain so much merit this time?
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The escape light kept flashing in the sky, and some advanced practitioners relied on their escape skills to quickly come closer. Looking at Qi Yuan, who was wearing a sharp sword, he was also stunned.
It's this kid again...
For a moment, all the immortals in Jiejiao were speechless.
What is this?
In recent years, there have been two meritorious deeds from heaven on Jin'ao Island, and each time it turned out to be this guy. Are you sincerely trying to make others jealous?
Among the tens of thousands of immortals in Jie Jiao, there are a few who have obtained the Qi of merit and virtue. It turns out that you are not lucky. In just a few years, you have caused heaven to send down merits twice. It is said that before you had not worshiped Jie Jiao, you had also received the power of humanity once.
Merit.
Can you give others a chance?
As more and more Jie Jiao disciples flew over, they all fell silent when they saw it was Qi Yuan, not knowing what it was like.
"Hahaha……"
Suddenly, a burst of joyful laughter broke the silence above the bamboo forest.
Everyone turned around and saw that it was Zhao Gongming who laughed.
At this time, Zhao Gongming looked happy and happy.
Needless to say, this apprentice is too proud of him.
In his early years, he was a little envious of Taoist Duobao and Jin Ling Shen Shen, because their disciples were so outstanding that they had not practiced for too long, but they had already surpassed most of the second-generation disciples in Taoism.
But after he accepted Qi Yuan as his disciple, he never envied those fellow disciples again.
Because, although those disciples were outstanding, they definitely never gained any merit.
Ever since the last time Qi Yuan created a spiritual chef and induced heaven to send merit in front of all his fellow disciples, he himself has become one of the envy of other fellow disciples.
However, compared with this time, the last time seemed a bit insignificant.
This time, there was too much merit and virtue sent down by heaven.
Although he has not seen the specific merits gained by those ancient powers who created a single path, he absolutely believes that the merits gained by his disciple this time is definitely more than most of the powers.
How can this not make him happy?
As Zhao Gongming's laughter woke everyone up, all the Immortals from the Jiejiao Sect looked at each other and couldn't help but smile.
Although he was still a little surprised in his heart, Qi Yuan was a disciple of Jie Jiao after all. Although some people were unavoidably disgusted by things like this that brought glory to Jie Jiao, most of them were still happy.
I am happy that such a person appears among the disciples of Jiejiao.
"Congratulations to Taoist brother, congratulations to Taoist brother."
All the disciples fell down one after another, and without disturbing Qi Yuan who was immersed in enlightenment at this time, they came to Zhao Gongming one after another to congratulate him.
"Haha, you're welcome, all of you are welcome."
Zhao Gongming, with a smile that could not be concealed on his face, bowed his head to everyone in return.
Fellow disciple Lu Chang asked: "Senior Brother Zhao, I wonder why Senior Nephew Qi gained merit this time?"
"..."
Zhao Gongming had a calm expression on his face. He glanced at Qi Yuan not far away with his sword aura rising into the sky. He suddenly understood and said, "The reason why my disciple gained merit this time is because he pioneered
The cultivation method of the kendo lineage."
"kendo?"
Everyone was a little confused about this unheard-of practice method.
The main reason why Qi Refiners are called Qi Refiners is that they refine the vitality of heaven and earth for their own use. This is why they are called Qi Refiners.
But how should we practice kendo?
However, most of the immortals present had extraordinary vision, especially those with advanced cultivation, such as Duobao Taoist Jin Ling Shen Shen and others. They only took a few glances at Qi Yuan and saw through his true and false qualities.
"So it turns out that Master Nephew Qi actually converted the magic power in his body into sword energy, so he could develop an alternative way of practice?"
The Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit sighed.
The temperament of Our Lady of Wudang is similar to that of Yunxiao, she also has a gentle temper. She nodded after hearing this and said: "Since this method can induce the heaven to bring down merits, it naturally has its special features.
It's just that I see that the sword energy in Master Qi's body is too powerful and is more suitable for fighting than the traditional practice of refining energy.
Junior Brother Gongming, you must teach carefully in the future, and don’t let Junior Qi’s mind be affected by this sword energy. If you insist on being strong and ruthless, it will go against the original intention of cultivation.”
The Holy Mother of Wudang has a profound Taoist practice and knows the smallest things, so she pointed out the biggest shortcomings of the Qi Yuan Sword Cultivator lineage.
Zhao Gongming nodded in agreement.
Of course he knew this, and had reminded Qi Yuan before, but he had no idea that the technique that Qi Yuan understood would cause such a big stir and gain so much merit.
The other immortals from the Jiejiao sect, besides complimenting him, were also envious.
Even though this so-called swordsmanship has some flaws, it has so many merits that it is enough for them to want to replace it.
In the Biyou Palace, the leader of Tongtian Cult sat high on a bed of clouds.
There was a hint of chaos in his eyes, and he looked through the palace to the sky, not knowing what he was thinking.
After a while, he turned his head and looked in the direction of the bamboo forest again, muttering to himself: "Kendo?"
As soon as these two words were spoken, the chaotic energy in his eyes suddenly appeared and died, as if the universe was evolving within it.
Suddenly, the Tongtian Cult Leader's expression changed.
Because, he saw a scene through countless possible futures.
It was a mountain with misty celestial energy. There were many disciples carrying long swords walking back and forth in the mountain. Each of them had Ling Ran's sword energy on their bodies. The faces of many young disciples also revealed an aura of arrogance and upliftment.
of vitality.
Although it was only a glimpse, the scene disappeared without a trace in an instant.
After all, the secrets are in chaos now. It is not easy for him to see such a scene through the chaotic secrets.
However, this is enough.
A smile appeared on the corner of Tongtian Cult Master's mouth.
It seems that although our Jiejiao religion has been prosperous and declining, it is about to fall into decline.
However, there is still a glimmer of hope for Dao Fifty and Tianyan Forty-Nine.
And a glimmer of hope in this catastrophe has already appeared.
Kunlun Mountain, Yuxu Palace.
Yuanshi Tianzun was also looking at the sky silently.
There had been a merit event from heaven in the previous Jiejiao, but the merit energy at that time was not that great, so he didn't take it to heart.
But this time it was different. This time the energy of merit descended from heaven was more than ten times greater than last time.
Jie Jiao's luck, which had already begun to decline, actually regained some vitality with the injection of this energy of merit.
Seeing that this catastrophe has reached the final moment and is about to come to an end, Yuanshi Tianzun is a little surprised that something like this happened.
Although the Antarctic Immortal who was accompanying him was also a Daluo Jinxian, he did not have the ability to sense what happened on Jin'ao Island from Yuxu Palace.
When I saw Master who was meditating with his eyes closed, he suddenly opened his eyes and looked out into the sky, and he suddenly felt curious.
So he asked: "Master, what's wrong?"
Yuanshi Tianzun shook his head and said nothing.
After all, Master Tongtian was also his brother. Although there were some ideological disputes between the two, they were still his own people after all, so although he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, he didn't say anything.
However, in the farther west, Taoist Zhunti, who had returned to the Paradise of Paradise, looked a little ugly.
Opposite him, the thin Taoist receptionist looked even more bitter.
"well……"
Jie Yin sighed softly, with a look of sorrow on his face: "The East is indeed full of outstanding people, blessed by heaven. I don't know when such people will appear in the West."
Taoist Zhunti said: "Brother Taoist, why do you need to be like this? As long as we prosper in the West in the future, we will still worry about the birth of people with great luck.
It’s just that Jiejiao’s luck has changed now, and I don’t know if it will affect our plans?”
"Don't worry about that."
The Taoist leader said: "Since Taoist ancestors have made a promise to us to see the great prosperity of the West, they will naturally not break their promises. Even if there are such changes at the moment, it will not affect the overall situation."
Zhunti nodded slightly, then changed the topic: "Speaking of which, last time I went to the East, I met a disciple of Jie Jiao who was very good. Although his cultivation was low, he actually possessed the virtues of humanity.
Later I also learned that this son has a reputation as a sage among the human race. If we can convert him into our religion and let him serve as a preacher in the Eastern Territory, he will be able to preach in the human race in the future, and he will get twice the result with half the effort.
It's just a pity that the junior didn't form a cause and effect with me last time, so I didn't save him."
"oh?"
After hearing this, Jie Yin suddenly showed some interest and asked: "Among the human race, those who possess humane virtues were not all taken to the Fire Cloud Cave by Emperor Fuxi. How could anyone worship the Jie Sect?"
Zhunti said: "This son only obtained humanistic merits more than ten years ago. Perhaps no one came out to look for him in Huoyun Cave at that time, so he worshiped the Jie Cult first."
The Taoist priest nodded: "That's also possible."
"Now that the calamity has reached its peak, a war between the two sects will soon break out. When the time comes, I must save that junior first.
It is inconvenient for us to go to the Fire Cloud Cave. It is rare to encounter a human sage who is living outside, and we must not let him go."
Taoist Zhunti had a firm look on his face and had made up his mind that as long as Qi Yuan was found on the battlefield, he would be rescued first no matter what.
On Jin'ao Island, Qi Yuan didn't know that he had been targeted by Taoist Zhunti.
At this time, he was still immersed in his understanding of the way of the sword.
As the energy of merit entered his body, his soul became clear. Although his magic power did not increase much, his Taoist realm was rapidly improving. The sword energy outside his body became more and more condensed, revealing an aura that pierced the sky.
With the help of the Qi of Merit and Virtue, he has reached the point where he can break through the immortal world at any time.
It's just that now he puts all his attention on comprehending the true principles of swordsmanship. There is no rush to become an immortal. He can do it at any time in the future. However, opportunities like this to achieve enlightenment are rare. If he misses it, it would be too great.
What a pity.
After all, the energy of merit is not so easy to obtain. Qi Yuan has already taken advantage of it several times, and he may not have the chance to obtain merit again in the future.
In fact, there are still several opportunities to obtain some humane merits, but now that he has practiced the immortal way, he no longer wants to use trickery to obtain humane merits.
Instead of concentrating all these humane merits on oneself, it is better to leave them to the human race and give birth to a few more sages in the future to enhance the human race's foundation.
Gradually, the colorful auspicious clouds in the sky dispersed, and Qi Yuan also woke up from his thoughts.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I was immediately startled by the crowd of people in front of me.
Most of those standing nearby were second-generation disciples of Jie Jiao, all of whom were elders of his sect. All of them had advanced cultivation, and even the weakest among them had the Taoism of a heavenly being.
Being stared at by so many beings above immortals, Qi Yuan did not jump up on the spot, which was considered to be a relatively strong psychological quality.
Although the elders of these masters had tried their best to gather their auras, they did not hide their cultivation. Looking around, they were all beings stronger than him, surrounding him.
Qi Yuan felt like a lamb surrounded by wolves, weak and helpless.
"You...what are you going to do?"
he asked a little nervously.
"Snapped……"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was slapped on the forehead.
"What do you mean? Brat."
Qi Yuan looked up and saw Senior Uncle Gao Yan, who was as round as a flesh ball.
It is said that since this uncle learned the cooking skills of Lingchu from him, his figure has become three times more rounded than before!
I heard Gao Yan continue to say: "Okay, you kid has obtained the merits of immortality again without saying a word. Tell me honestly, do you have any secrets? Tell me so that I can take advantage of it."
