Volume 1 The Sword Tour of the Boy in the Valley Chapter 17 The Secrets of the Times (Ask for Collection)
Volume I
Chapter 17
How exactly Wu Yusheng will punish Hong Shang Jiang Hao is not at all interested at this time.
It has long been an iron law in the cultivation realm, and Hong Shang, who thought that he could sit back and relax with Elder Zhou's big Buddha, didn't he end up miserably at this time?
What Jiang Hao cares about most now is what Wu Yusheng called him just now.
In terms of the status of the disciples of the sect, although the great disciples of the Outer Gate Alchemy Hall are not as good as the core disciples of the Inner Gate Zhufeng, they can be on an equal footing with the ordinary disciples of the Zhufeng.
And Wu Yusheng seemed to have been assigned by Elder Zhou to greet him, but there was an eye-catching Hong Shang in the middle, and Jiang Hao also threw this burden to him.
The reason why Jiang Hao was so determined was because of Wu Yusheng's "senior brother", which made him curious about the identity that Elder Zhou was about to arrange for him.
To be able to make the alchemy disciple who is on an equal footing with the inner disciple respect himself as a senior brother, how to say that it is at least the core disciple level of the inner gate, and he is a small miscellaneous disciple who has just risen from the micro end, and he has become a core disciple......
Thinking of this, Jiang Hao's heart began to slowly get excited.
To be more specific, Jiang Hao at this time faintly had a heart to become a strong man, and this first step springboard, Elder Zhou had already prepared for him, and the next step was to continuously enhance his strength and gain a firm foothold in the Spirit Beast Sect.
Thinking of this, Jiang Hao also quickened his pace, walked through the cultivation square, and came all the way to the location of Elder Zhou's cave mansion.
Elder Zhou's cave was a gourd-shaped low mountain, with a white mist lingering at the mouth of the gourd on the top, and at the same time, the tangy incense shrouded an area of hundreds of zhang.
At this time, the cave was open, Jiang Hao did not enter rashly, but stood still at the entrance of the cave, and said loudly: "Disciple Jiang Hao, ask to see Elder Zhou!"
"Come in......" After a few breaths, Elder Zhou's old and deep voice came from the cave, and Jiang Hao stepped in.
All the monks who have cultivated well in the cultivation realm have caves, and the Sumeru mustard seed circle constitutes a huge space in it, and the gourd dwarf mountain seems to be small in scale, but the space inside it is a unique cave, and it is enough to see a hundred zhang square.
The title of Alchemy Elder was naturally well deserved, and Jiang Hao looked around and saw that there were crystal clear ancient scores on the wooden shelves on the side.
This kind of knowledge Jane made of spiritual jade can use the power of divine consciousness to carve words or pictures in it, and when using it, you only need to use the same divine consciousness to view the content in it, and many cherished exercises, formulas, and so on in the cultivation world are recorded in the Yun Zhi Jane.
Jiang Hao roughly counted on the stretching wooden frame, there were at least thousands of jade slips, and I thought that most of them should be Danfang or other knowledge related to alchemy.
In the center of the cave is a huge copper pill furnace, on which there are various fine patterns, mysterious and profound, not the current Jiang Hao can understand.
"You're here. "Elder Zhou was in front of the Dan furnace at this time, sitting in the void, there were several jade slips suspended in front of him, and when he saw Jiang Hao coming in, his long sleeves vibrated slightly, and a few jade slips quickly flew back to their original positions on the wooden frame.
"Following the elder's instructions, the disciples naturally had to come on time. Jiang Hao bowed and said.
"Well, sit down. Elder Zhou flicked his fingers, and a lilac futon flew down behind Jiang Hao, Jiang Hao was stunned for a moment, and then sat down cross-legged.
As soon as Jiang Hao sat down, he felt a cool feeling rising from under his feet, instantly haunting his body, and the spirit of the whole person jumped by half, and he was taken aback.
"This is a spiritual futon, sitting on it to cultivate, you can drive away distracting thoughts, concentrate your mind, and you can also automatically absorb the aura of the surrounding heaven and earth, increasing the cultivation speed by two percent. Seeing Jiang Hao's surprised reaction, Elder Zhou stroked his beard and smiled lightly.
"And such treasures?" Jiang Hao heard this, and his eyes became eager.
A treasure that can increase the speed of cultivation, and it can achieve the effect of calming the mind and calming the mind just by sitting on it, which is simply priceless!
Jiang Hao's thoughts are indeed good, this kind of god-nourishing futon is made of treasure sacrifices, and there are almost some high-level people in the entire Spirit Beast Sect, but the number is not much, if it is auctioned in the ordinary market, I am afraid that this thing can be auctioned for a high price of tens of thousands of spirit stones.
The reason why the price is so expensive is because this thing has a significant effect even on the high-level cultivators of the realm of refining void and life wheel, so it has always been priceless and unmarketable, plus the heavenly and earthly treasures and virtuous people live in it, ordinary people can't enjoy this kind of treatment at all.
"If you want it, it will be given to you. Elder Zhou smiled lightly.
"How can a disciple accept such a treasure, the elder said with a smile!" Jiang Hao was not ambiguous, and replied with a clear look in his eyes.
"Oh?" Elder Zhou saw Jiang Hao's reaction like this, there was a little more appreciation in his eyes, it was really precious to be able to maintain his reason and desire in front of the extremely tempting treasure, "Why?"
"Although the disciple's cultivation is still shallow, he also knows that treasures are inhabited by virtuous people, and I am afraid that such treasures are extremely rare in the entire sect, how can I be a new disciple?" Jiang Hao replied.
"Well, although you are not very old, you are remarkable in this regard. Elder Zhou nodded and said, "But you can rest assured that this thing is not a gift from the old man to you, but someone else." β
"Oh?" Jiang Hao was slightly stunned, and then reacted, "But the mysterious master you mentioned that day?"
"Hehe, don't say, don't say. Elder Zhou stroked his beard and sloppy eyes, "You just need to know that this thing was entrusted to you by someone to give it to you, and it should belong to you, so you don't need to worry about it?"
"Well, the disciple was disrespectful. Jiang Hao thought for a moment, and then arched his hand.
"Alright, let's get down to business. Elder Zhou waved his hand, "You take out the token that the old man gave you yesterday." β
Jiang Hao nodded, and then with a flash of his palm, he took out the arrow-shaped token engraved with the word "Jiang" from the system space, but as soon as he summoned it, he secretly felt bad in his heart, and if the system was discovered by the elders, it would be a little troublesome.
But fortunately, Elder Zhou didn't pay attention, but with a light move, the mysterious token in Jiang Hao's hand flew into his hand.
"Jiang Hao, the old man wants to tell you about your life experience next. Taking a deep breath, Elder Zhou glanced at Jiang Hao, and then said slowly.
"Background?" Jiang Hao frowned slightly when he heard this.
Isn't his own background unclear, born in a mundane mountain village, his father is a hunter in the village, and he makes a living by hunting in the deep mountain forests, and his mother is a tailor.
It's just that these are not easy to talk about in Jiang Hao's opinion, because they are all trivial in the world, and they are not very profound for him who has already entered the cultivation realm.
"But before I talk about your background, the old man wants to tell you a story. Elder Zhou continued.
"Elder, please speak, disciple listens. Jiang Hao nodded.
"The cultivation realm is so large, stretching from the Minghai Sea in the south to the ice field in the north, with a vast territory of hundreds of millions of miles, and countless cultivators are recuperating here. Elder Zhou then began to tell the story.
"As early as the Immortal Qin Era, before the first emperor Qin Shi Huang was born, the history of the Xiuzhen Realm was already a long time, longer than the time recorded in those history books, and there were countless brilliant eras before that were submerged in the dust of history. β
"Before the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, the cultivators were actually not without systematic cultivation methods and factions, but it was only because there were too many cultivation systems at that time, hundreds of schools of thought contended, and the major systems did not give in to each other, so that there was the later Three Emperors and Five Emperors Dinglun. β
"And before the era that was even older than the Three Emperors and the Five Emperors, there was such a special era, called the Ancient Age. β
"Ancient ......" As soon as he heard the name of this era, Jiang Hao's heart was inexplicable.
"Why do you say that this era is special, because at that time, the heavens and the earth were in a state of recklessness, and the cultivators at that time were so powerful that even the heavens and the earth were discolored. β
"There were hundreds of sects that sprung up like spring springs, and at that time, there were many cultivation families, and with their terrifying bloodline, talent and strength, they gradually became the talkers of that era. β
"Among them, there are nine top clans, which are the absolute masters of that era, and several Emperors have been born one after another. β
"Strike at the Great Emperor!" Even Jiang Hao, who still had a very shallow understanding of the cultivation realm, was taken aback, revealing a shocked look.
What is the Great Emperor, in terms of the current cultivation system, that is the end of the Ten Realms of Cultivation, which is clearly the realm of the "Extreme Dao".
The existence in this realm can make sentient beings bow down with just a snap of their fingers, and threaten the nine heavens and ten earths. Just one look can make the heavens and the earth silent.
That kind of existence can only be seen once in eternity.
It is said that at the end of the realm of cultivation there is a secret of becoming an immortal, and the reason why the ancient emperor of Immortal Qin, Qin Shi Huang, is in the imperial realm, but he still wants to go further, is to spy on the secret of becoming an immortal.
Immortals have been an ancient and mysterious legend since ancient times, and whether immortals exist or not is still an unsolved mystery, but it has attracted countless cultivators to chase it with their lives and deaths.
Not for anything else, because it is rumored that immortals can live forever.
The Tao is endless, and people have an end of life, the cultivator is still a human after all, unable to get rid of the shackles of life and death, even if the existence of the sky is beautiful, it will be decayed and disgraced in ten thousand years, and the power of time and time can always crush all means of resistance, and strangle all legends under the wheel of history.
From the cultivator to the emperor, it is a qualitative leap, and from the emperor to the immortal, it is an extreme sublimation, the ancient books say that the emperor can live for 10,000 years, but after all, it is only 10,000 years, and the secret of becoming an immortal is spied on, it is a simple matter to live for hundreds of thousands of millions of years, and it is a simple matter to crush several eras!
Of course, this is only a record in ancient books, and it is unknown whether anyone has really broken this barrier and become a legendary true immortal in countless eras.
Far away, what Elder Zhou said to Jiang Hao was actually telling him that long before the heyday of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, there were still countless eras to go by, and the Ancient Ages were one of the more brilliant eras.
Attacking the Great Emperor is definitely unimaginable in terms of Jiang Hao's vision, but for that era, it is simply an existence that exists for eternity, but in the ancient era, dozens of such beings were born!
"In the ancient era, the strength of cultivators was extremely strong, but they could tear mountains and rivers apart by carrying mountains and mountains, and they could sink mountains and make all things bow down with a single move. Elder Zhou continued, "And at that time, the nine major clans were even more invincible behemoths, controlling the life and death of hundreds of millions of living beings, among which there was a family, and there were nine Immortal Emperors born one after another. β
"It's it, the Arague family. Elder Zhou paused for a moment, then said.
Jiang Hao's eyes changed suddenly, and a throbbing feeling rose in his heart for no reason, which was the reaction of his body when he heard the word "Jiang", which could not be described in words.
It's as if there is a rule included in the rules of this heaven and earth, that is, whenever someone mentions the Jiang family, they will be felt by the people of the Jiang family.
But this brings another question, that is, why did Jiang Hao react himself, Jiang Hao actually had an answer that he didn't dare to think about but was about to come out at this time!
"Headed by the supreme of the Jiang family, who was revered as 'Emperor Jiang' by the ancient era, the nine supremes of the Jiang family swept the entire ancient era with a crushing attitude, from the beginning to the end of the ancient era, they were the absolute overlords of that era. β
Elder Zhou had already expected Jiang Hao's reaction, but he didn't explain more, but continued to tell.
"It's as if the potential of heaven and earth has been squeezed dry, since the end of the ancient era, the entire cultivation realm has undergone earth-shaking changes, the earth has lost its original spirituality, and all living beings have shown signs of degradation and weakening, and an unprecedentedly difficult era has arrived, which the later predecessors called the [Dao Difficult] era. β
"The transition from [Desolate Ancient] to [Difficult Path], the whole heaven and earth entered a dormant state, the Great Dao was not visible, the heavens were silent, and the people of that era fell into an extremely difficult and almost desperate environment for enlightenment. β
"Even if they have a strong heritage, the nine major clans are also affected, and they begin to decline day by day, and after a few eras, even if the world returns to the old state later, it is difficult to maintain the glory of the ancient times, and gradually many families are declining. β
"There are only four great families in the world that are still standing in the world, namely the Jiang family, the Ji family, the Shen family and the Jiang family. β
"These four great families, even when Immortal Qin unified the Ten Thousand Domains, they were not affected, if it weren't for Qin Shi Huang's achievement of the Great Emperor Dao Fruit and the suppression of the heavens with imperial might, I am afraid it would not be the turn of the Immortal Qin Dynasty to rule the cultivation realm. β
And this is also one of the reasons why Qin Shi Huang's desire to survive the immortal tribulation failed, and after his soul was damaged and died, the immortal Qin decayed so quickly. If he is there, the wilderness is silent, and if he dies, it will be an undercurrent surging in all directions. β
"You should also know the history since then, the Shenhan Venerable and the Tianchu Venerable fought a decisive battle on the banks of the Wujiang River, relying on the joint efforts of the nine great gods to besiege and kill, and the Tianchu Venerable Xiang Yu, who had exhausted his qi, finally drank hatred, and the Shenhan Dynasty took over the rule of the Xianqin Dynasty. β
"Then came the end of the Shenhan Dynasty, the dynasty collapsed, the descendants of the nine gods and many tribes were divided, and the three major god dynasties of Yan, Zhao and Korea were established in the territory of the current Xiuzhen realm, among which Zhao was the most, Yan was the second, and Korea was the last. β
"When the Shenhan Dynasty fell apart, the three major divine dynasties each took away almost all of the dynastic heritage of the Shenhan Dynasty, of which the Zhao State divided fifty percent of it, the Yan State obtained three percent, and the weakest Korea plundered two percent, which is why the current Xiuzhen Realm, why the Zhao State can be able to rival the two countries and join forces without falling behind. β
"Most of the heritage of the Shenhan Dynasty was plundered from the Xianqin Dynasty, and it is naturally a behemoth, the Three Kingdoms are divided and eaten, and it is also a python swallowing the dragon in the world. Because Zhao Guo has the strongest background, there are many Xiuzhen sects, among which there are four most powerful sects, Taiqing Xuanmen, Spirit Beast Sect, Danding Sect, Mending Heaven Sect and Taishang Sect. β
"The patriarch of the Taishang Sect has a lot of connections with the royal family of Zhao State, and then after thousands of years of Taoguang cultivation, coupled with the royal family recruitment, there is a faint trend of becoming the state religion of Zhao State. The other three sects were still quiet and neutral, but they formed a trend of the Xiuzhen Alliance led by the Spirit Beast Sect of the Sect against the Zhao Imperial Family and the Taishang Sect Alliance. β
"If you talk about the background, the Spirit Beast Sect was already the founder of the Immortal Qin Sect as early as the heyday, and the Founding Ancestor of the Sect, the Spirit Saint Venerable, was also famous in the Xian Qin, and the land of the twelve states of the Immortal Qin South County was all under the jurisdiction of the Spirit Beast Sect, how huge is it?
"In addition, this sect has always been indisputable with the world, and other sects are also accumulating strength, so today, thousands of years later, it has a strong foundation comparable to this sect. β
Jiang Hao had been listening to Elder Zhou's explanation slowly, feeling that his knowledge was constantly growing, and at the same time, his understanding of the history of the Spirit Beast Sect had become a little thicker, and he was no longer as short as before, which was limited to the fact that the Spirit Beast Sect was a cultivation sect.
However, what Jiang Hao didn't know was that although Elder Zhou said that the other major sects had a background comparable to that of the Spirit Beast Sect, they were not as powerful as the Spirit Beast Sect secretly, such as the last supreme head of the Spirit Beast Sect, the current Supreme Elder Divine Shadow Venerable Luo Zuntangβon the surface, he had been hidden for decades and had not shown up, and his strength had been recognized as the first person in the Zhao Kingdom decades ago, and no one could match it!
Today, decades later, with the innate qualifications of such an existence as the Divine Shadow Venerable, it is naturally impossible to stand still. This is also where the confidence of the Spirit Beast Sect lies, even if other sects join forces to fight against the Spirit Beast Sect, I am afraid that they will not be able to benefit from the hands of Luo Zuntang!
However, Jiang Hao's concern now is not these, but one thing that Elder Zhou just mentioned, that is, the Ancient Family, the Jiang Family!
Jiang Hao has a strong premonition, that is, this Jiang family is inextricably linked with his life experience!
And soon, he will touch this long-buried secret!
