Chapter 34: The First Entry into Tianhua

Around the messy battlefield at this moment, several people sat on the ground and began to recover their spiritual power, everyone before was a jade tree floating like a fairy in the wind, and at this moment they were all gray-faced, burned by the fierce beast on the outside and tender on the inside, and there was no trace of immortal energy at all.

The beggars who didn't know outside thought they were going to commit crimes, but after a long time, everyone was almost recovered, they asked each other, looking at each other's embarrassed appearance, everyone smiled bitterly, as the proud disciples of the five major sects, they have always been full of brilliance, when have they been so embarrassed.

"This dead old man, I must let him peel off the skin when I go out", Yin Qianxi said indignantly, several of them were the most tragic in hand-to-hand combat, all of them were disgraced, even Luo Tianyi, who was originally like a sonorous rose, was disgraced, and she had long since disappeared at this moment.

"Hey, what about my junior sister, why is she gone?" Yin Qianxi suddenly found that Luo Tianyi was gone.

"Looking at Brother Yin's worried look, I don't know how long this crush has been?" Lu Tianci said sarcastically.

"How can it be, as a senior brother, you should have cared about it", Yin Qianxi quickly explained.

"Girls love beauty, she and Senior Sister Dai found a place to wash their faces," Yu Qinglian said. As a powerful wind spirit master, she doesn't touch a single leaf, and at this moment, the only one in the venue who retains the immortal aura of the spirit master is that few other people are also fascinated.

Soon Luo Tianyi and Dai Mengli came back, Yin Qianxi blushed and said nothing, "Hey, I was so anxious to jump just now, but now I have become a stuffy gourd when I come back", Lu Tianci looked at the quiet Yin Qianxi.

Yin Qianxi coughed twice in embarrassment, and the others laughed for a while, Luo Tianyi felt inexplicable and ignored them.

Then a few people took out all the spiritual weapons obtained on the mountain for distribution, they are all heroes who have seen the world, and the distribution is carried out according to their own needs, which can be regarded as harmony, and they obviously disdain the behavior of the two people of the Moon Worship Sect.

A few people walked to Shi Xuan, they looked at Shi Xuan, who had changed greatly, and then they believed that he was indeed controlled by Wang Zhuo, and Shi Xuan also truthfully told Wang Zhuo about the cruelty of other people, and many things later he spent as if in a dream, which was not true, but there were still some fragments left.

Everyone heard that Wang Zhuo's clumsy methods were outrageous, and they all said that after they returned, they would mobilize the power of the sect to arrest this person all over the world, and promised to rescue the poor people who were imprisoned by him.

Shi Xuan was relieved when he heard their promise, and he apologized to everyone again, he had done many bad things in his dreams.

"Senior Brother Shi doesn't have to blame himself, I believe this is not your intention, but in the future, you must always pay attention to the situation in your body, you also saw the silverback mandrill on the mountain before, this is the consequence of being dominated by evil", Yin Qianxi said.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Yin, for your trust, Shi Xuan will remember it in my heart", Shi Xuan thanked him.

"Senior Brother Shi Xuan still plans to continue to participate in the selection of newcomers from the Tianhua Sect, do you want to consider our Divine Sword Valley again?" Luo Tianyi asked.

"Thank you, Senior Sister Luo, I still insist on my choice", Shi Xuan thanked again.

Jiang Heng and the other three also felt his persistence, and they were able to refuse the invitations of other powerful sects many times, and insisted on relying on their own strength to participate in the entry selection, which made them feel admired.

"Please also ask Senior Brother Shi to lead the way, let's go rescue those people who were imprisoned by Wang Zhuo first, right?" Dai Mengli said.

The others all nodded, and Shi Xuan relied on vague memories to lead them to a hidden cave on the Moon Slope, while the two people from the Moon Worship Sect followed them without the face and left on their own.

At the foot of the hidden mountain of Mochizukipo, a natural cave appeared in front of everyone, and many victims were imprisoned in many iron cages.

A few of them flew down quickly, and without the shackles of the ruins, they were able to control the magic weapon and fly again.

Wang Zhuo's two apprentices were frightened by these people, "Has your master Wang Zhuo ever come back?" Jiang Heng asked.

The two of them said tremblingly, "Since the master left with this brother a few days ago, he hasn't come back," they pointed at Shi Xuan.

"This old thief is very cunning, he thought we came back here, and he probably went into hiding," Dai Mengli said.

"A few masters, please save us?" Wang Zhuo's two apprentices knelt on the ground and pleaded.

"Could it be that you are also controlled by him?" asked Yin Qianxi.

"We are his apprentices, we were all taken by him to serve him, he gave us poison, and if we don't obey, he won't give us the antidote, we have to listen to him", the two cried.

"It's really something that is inferior to beasts, if we don't get rid of such scum, what's the point of our cultivation", Jiang Heng said angrily.

"Let's release these people first, I'll try it with my water spell and see if I can contact the nightmare control for them", Dai Mengli looked at the suffering civilians.

The two people kneeling on the ground opened all the cages and gathered all these people together, and the others began to assist Dai Mengli in casting spells, after all, she couldn't support so many people alone.

These people's nightmares were not as stubborn as Shi Xuan's, and it didn't take long for them to have an effect, their crimson eyes were finally clear, and everyone was shocked, feeling that they had lived in the nightmare for a long time, and they didn't know what they had done.

Dai Mengli detoxified Wang Zhuo's two apprentices and let them go, and they were just victims.

"After you go back, you must tell the master and take this matter seriously, this evil force is too terrifying, if you let it go and the consequences are serious, this Wang Zhuo will not be able to cure him in a few years", Jiang Heng thought of the serious consequences.

"After we go back, we will also talk about this matter and tell the master, let them come forward to investigate this matter, and now that the matter here is over, it is time for us to leave for our lives," Yin Qianxi said.

Several other people also said goodbye to each other, "Senior Brother Shi Xuan, you are the one who has witnessed this matter, you can go to Tianhua Sect with us to meet the master of the sect", Dai Mengli said to Shi Xuan.

"My life is saved by you, it's all up to you", Shi Xuan didn't refuse, he had to go sooner or later.

Several members of the Tianhua Sect escorted these innocent victims back to their homes, and they came to the ruins again, at this time the ruins had been closed and disappeared again.

They found the elder who led them to explain what had happened, and the elder agreed with their decision, and finally rushed to Tianhua Sect with Shi Xuan.

Tianhua Sect is located in the center of the southwest region of the mainland, is the core of the southwest region, as one of the five major sects, Tianhua Sect has a pivotal position here, many sects within a radius of two thousand miles are affiliated to Tianhua Sect, its strength can be seen.

Tianhua Sect is also a sect with a long history, according to many historical data on the mainland, Tianhua Sect has been handed down for at least 8,000 years, their founding ancestor is rumored to be an ancient sage who crisscrosses the continent, and his strength is all over the world, even if his reputation is still resounding in the world thousands of years later, Ye Tianhua, a saint who once shook the world, finally chose to open a sect in this mountain, and later generations of disciples named him after him in order to commemorate the ancestor of the ancient and modern times.

For thousands of years, there have been many turmoils in the mainland, and countless forces have fallen apart, but Tianhua Sect has produced many talents over the years, and has always stood tall, their existence has witnessed the entire turbulent history of the continent, and they are witnesses of history, and they hold many historical secrets.

Tianhua Sect is extremely huge, the mountain gate is located in the Tianhua Mountains, the peaks in the sect are numerous, the main peak is called Tianhua Peak, it is the place where the sect is located, the current Tianhua Sect is in charge of Dai Tiande, this person is probably under his management Tianhua Sect has flourished vigorously over the years, and there are countless disciples under the sect, and the strong are like clouds. The current Tianhua Sect can really be said to be in full swing, and there are so many disciples who want to worship under the door, in order to ensure the quality of the disciples, they have had to raise the threshold for selection many times over the years.

Thirty years ago, almost as long as you can step into the Kaiyuan Realm, you can enter the Tianhua Sect, twenty years ago at least the Xuanmai Realm, and now the Ningyuan Realm is the minimum standard, this piece of heaven and earth has changed, and it is suitable for people to practice again, and their standards have begun to improve.

Jiang Heng and the others were extremely fast, and several of them were all early stage masters of the Tianmai Realm, and they could already control the spirit weapon to fly, and they took Shi Xuan all the way to the Tianhua Sect.

Shi Xuan stood in the sky, looking at the retreating land under his feet, looking at the clouds passing around him, he had never felt so comfortable, and he also imagined that he would one day be able to ride the Divine Rainbow to travel the continent.

I don't know how long I flew, Shi Xuan sighed at the vastness of this world, human beings are too small in it, and as a mortal, they are like frogs at the bottom of a well, if they didn't become a spirit master, it is estimated that they would stay in the small Hongyan Ridge for the rest of their lives to be a hunter.

Shi Xuan looked curiously at the wild goose flying by him, and Dai Mengli next to him asked, "How do you feel, it's the first time you fly so high, aren't you afraid?"

"At the beginning, I was a little scared, but now it's much better, and I hope that one day I can fly on my own like you," Shi Xuan said.

"Then you are much braver than me, I still remember the first time I flew, I pestered two senior brothers to pull me to practice flying, and I scared them so many times that I almost fell off, if you can successfully enter the sect to practice in the future, you must work hard", Dai Mengli encouraged Shi Xuan, she clearly felt the perseverance of this young man, even the powerful nightmare possession did not destroy him, which is absolutely rare among his peers.

Shi Xuan looked at this beautiful and gentle big sister, and he also felt lucky in his heart to be able to meet someone who cared about him in a distant land. Shi Xuan said, "I will never give up before I fall."

Jiang Heng and Lin Zixu heard Dai Mengli say what happened before, they also smiled, at that time, the three of them could be said to be good brothers and sisters who grew up together and practiced together, the three of them were extremely talented, and they were cultivated by the sect, and now the three of them have been able to hold up a piece of the sky on their own.

Many times, the teaching tasks of the disciples of the sect are completed by the three of them instead of the master master, and as the three proud people in charge of the sect, they have a very high status within the sect, and sometimes even higher than some elders, after all, they are the future of the sect.

As they entered adulthood, the relationship between Jiang Heng and Lin Zixu has changed slightly over the years, Lin Zixu began to become a little arrogant, his talent is no worse than Jiang Heng, but he has always been pressed by Jiang Heng, which makes him very concerned, his crazy efforts over the years are to defeat Jiang Heng, he wants to prove that he is the strongest disciple of this generation of Tianhua Sect. In addition, their senior brother is even more because of the existence of Dai Mengli, which further aggravates the estrangement between them, Lin Zixu and Jiang Heng like this junior sister very much, Lin Zixu has long regarded Jiang Heng as his biggest competitor, and Jiang Heng, who is a senior brother many times over the years, can't control him.

In the distant sky, a group of mountain peaks stand on the top of the clouds, the mountains are verdant, at first glance it is an excellent place to open a sect, I have to say that the eyes of the ancestor are vicious, here brings together the aura of this area, and the cultivation here is worth dozens of times that of other places, which is estimated to be the reason for the long-term enduring Tianhua Sect.

"Senior Brother Shi Xuan, there is our Tianhua Sect ahead, after we arrive, we will tell the ins and outs of this matter, and the Sect Leader may see you at that time, and you have to answer well when the time comes, this matter is related to the safety of the mainland", Jiang Heng said to Shi Xuan.

"Thank you Senior Brother Jiang for reminding me, I will definitely make this matter clear," Shi Xuan replied.

"Of course, we will also tell the master about the fact that you want to enter the master's door, and if he is happy, he may be able to recruit you in advance," Dai Mengli continued.

"Then thank you Senior Sister", Shi Xuan thanked.

The group flew to the front of the misty sect, standing there, only to truly experience the spirit of a powerful sect, countless luxurious buildings around the mountains, many peaks have a bridge connection, the scenery is beautiful, the aura is compelling, Shi Xuan has seen the mountain gate of the Jingyue Sect, and the comparison between the two found that the Tianhua Sect is superior.

In front of the sect, there is a team of disciples guarding, and a group of them fell from the sky and came to the door, this is the rule of the Tianhua Sect, ordinary disciples are not allowed to fly over the sect with spiritual weapons, this is disrespectful to the sect, and they must advance on foot.

Jiang Heng and the others took Shi Xuan into the Tianhua Sect, and the disciples who guarded it bowed neatly and said, "Welcome back to all senior brothers."

A few people just nodded and walked straight in, Shi Xuan could also feel the respect that these disciples had for the three of them, obviously their status within the sect was extremely high.

Shi Xuan looked at the dazzling scene around them, they met many disciples, all of them politely greeted Jiang Heng and the others, these people's costumes were divided into several kinds, but the overall style was almost the same, there was a taste of fairy wind bones.

Shi Xuan smacked his tongue, this is the famous Tianhua Sect, they passed through a wide square, there are rockeries, many beautifully carved statues in the pond, the square is directly opposite is an extremely magnificent hall, the three big characters of Tianhua Hall have a simple but breathtaking feeling.

Jiang Heng found a disciple in Tsing Yi and asked him to take Shi Xuan to the guest room to rest, and several of them were going to meet the master of the sect, and told Shi Xuan to wait quietly and not run around in the sect again.

Shi Xuan said goodbye to a few people and followed this disciple to the guest room to rest. At night, when he meditates alone in the guest room, he remembers the sadness of these years, this is what he dreamed of, he has too much to expect here, and now this dream is not very far away from him.

He is not a disciple here yet, he doesn't dare to run around, quietly waiting for news again, now he has felt a feeling of lightness in his body, the aura inside the meridians is pressing, and inside the dantian, there is a feeling of swelling, he knows that he is not far from the Ning Yuan Realm.

In the Xuanmai Realm, he opened up the nine important acupoints on his legs, and at this ninth order, he also had to break through the extremely important Yongquan Acupoints on his legs, once he successfully broke through to the threshold of the Ning Yuan Realm, and then he would also have a great chance to enter the Tianhua Sect.

The only thing that made him uneasy was that although the nightmare power in his body was temporarily suppressed, there was still a possibility of recurrence, after Jiang Heng and the others told the master, they would know about the situation, Shi Xuan was still a little worried, this was a huge obstacle, and he also pinned his hopes that the strength of the Tianhua Sect was extremely high, and he could be sure that he could get rid of his nightmare.

The next day, as soon as the morning light dawned, many disciples had already started their day's practice, and there was a huge square on each mountain peak, where there were people teaching, and early in the morning, the disciples were already sitting down to listen carefully to the teachings of the master.

Shi Xuan longed for this kind of life, he only hoped that he could stay here smoothly. No one came to inform Shi Xuan that morning, a disciple brought him breakfast, he continued to practice again after eating, and finally in the afternoon a disciple came to find Shi Xuan.

"Senior Brother Shi Xuan, the master in charge asked me to come and pick you up and go to Tianhua Palace, you masters have something to talk to you face-to-face", this disciple said politely.

"Please also ask this senior brother to lead the way", Shi Xuan returned the salute.

Shi Xuan followed him to the magnificent hall, when the two of them arrived, the hall was already full of many people, some of them were gray-haired, some were in their forties, most of them were elderly seniors, and then in the center of the hall a man in his fifties was sitting upright, he was the current head of the Tianhua Sect Dai Tiande.

At this moment, Jiang Heng and several other major disciples were in the hall, and they nodded to Shi Xuan.

This person's eyebrows are like a sword, a feeling of not being angry and self-assured, and his cultivation is even more unfathomable, now he has been in charge of Tianhua Sect for ten years, twenty years ago, the former head of the sect announced his abdication, entered retreat, Dai Tiande as the first disciple to take over the head of the sect, these years Tianhua Sect has prospered under his helm, and is the leader of the southwest forces.

"Tell the master and the masters, the disciple will bring Shi Xuan to", the disciple returned to the master.

"Boy Shi Xuan greets the master and all the teachers", Shi Xuan saluted.

Dai Tiande carefully observed Shi Xuan, Shi Xuan felt that his soul had been seen through by him, and in the eyes of this group of people, he didn't have too many secrets to speak of.

"That's right, the old man sees that the aura in your body is full, it must not be long before you can enter the Ning Yuan Realm, and you can be regarded as reaching the threshold of my Tianhua Sect. Yesterday, I had already heard the words of several of my disciples, as a party concerned, you need to tell the truth without the slightest concealment, this is a matter of the safety of the world", Dai Tiande said to Shi Xuan.

"Boy Shi Xuan, you must know everything", Shi Xuan replied.

"You can tell us the details of the matter", a man with a thunderous voice next to Dai Tiande said, this person is Dai Tiande's right-hand man, the number two person of Tianhua Sect, this person is in charge of many things in Tianhua Sect, and his strength is also unfathomable.

"Boy Shi Xuan, people from Hongyanling......" Shi Xuan told all his ins and outs, including the purpose of coming here, and the things he encountered in Mochizukipo. Shi Xuan said everything he knew.

"Until Senior Sister Dai Mengli wakes me up, that's all I know," Shi Xuan said.

Dai Tiande nodded.

"Wang Zhuo, uncles and disciples, have any of you heard of this person?" Dai Tiande looked around the hall.

"I haven't heard of this person yet, it is said that the strength of my Tianhua Sect should not even be recorded in such a person, the old man has been in charge of intelligence for all these years, and he has indeed never heard of such a person", an elder in charge of intelligence next to him said.

"Mengli, you and Luo Tianyi of the Divine Sword Valley have fought with him, you tell us about it", Dai Tiande said to Dai Mengli.

"At that time, Senior Sister Luo Tianyi and I, the two chased Wang Zhuo, this person's strength is estimated to be at the high level of the Tianmai Realm, but the frontal combat ability is average, and Senior Sister Luo and I can also deal with it, but this person is very insidious and vicious, the spiritual skills he uses are very weird, it is some confusing spiritual illusions, relying on the nightmare power in his body has caused a huge obstacle to us, and the junior with fragile ordinary spiritual power will definitely be controlled by him when he encounters it", Dai Mengli recounted the experience of chasing and killing Wang Zhuo that day.

"That day, Shi Xuan led us to the cave where Wang Zhuo imprisoned people, and we found at least hundreds of corpses outside, and it is estimated that these people were cruelly devoured by Wang Zhuo, he may be practicing a vicious technique, and now he has stolen an ancient flamingo egg from us, and this person will be a disaster in the future", Jiang Heng added.

"Nightmare King, I didn't expect that after 10,000 years, his remnant soul would still be able to survive, and he would plague so many people, it was really a hundred-legged insect that died without stiffening", a gray-haired old man in the main hall spoke.

"Uncle Shi knows anything about the Nightmare King?" asked Dai Tiande.

"I also know something in ancient books, it is rumored that the Nightmare King set off countless bloody storms on the continent ten thousand years ago, and was finally killed by many races, but people found that it didn't take long for him to reappear in the world and grow extremely fast, it can parasitize in the body of all living beings, and rise again through the ability to eat the host, he has been killed many times in history, but he has never been completely wiped out, I didn't expect the Nightmare King who disappeared for thousands of years to reappear in the world" The gray-haired elder recalled his account in ancient books.

"The old man also heard from the master that it is rumored that after the Nightmare King's soul is shattered, his soul fragments will wander around the entire continent, looking for suitable hosts, and when these hosts are strong, they will turn against the guest and devour the host, and they will also constantly seek out other nightmare hosts and devour them to gain greater power, which is why he has never really been destroyed", said another elder.

"So does anyone know how he was born?" Dai Tiande continued to ask.

"No one knows his true origin, when people found out that he was in trouble in ancient times, he had grown to an extremely terrifying point, when all the peak powerhouses of all races joined forces to pay a heavy price to destroy him, they never thought that the remnant soul of the nightmare was so stubborn, it is better to say that he was eliminated than to say that he was just turned into pieces and lurked in the host's body, waiting for a rise, these thousands of years, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has been depleted terrifyingly. Even the Nightmare King has no power to return to the sky, and it is difficult to do great things until now, in this life he feels the changes in the heavens and the earth, and he is ready to rise again", the elder continued.

At this time, everyone looked at Shi Xuan, "What about the nightmare in his body?" Dai Tiande pointed at Shi Xuan.

"He is still young, and his strength has only reached the ninth order of the Xuanmai Realm, and the remnant soul in his body is still a huge gap compared to Wang Zhuo's, but he also has to guard against it, Shi Xuan's fire element affinity is terrifyingly strong, and the nightmare power in his body will also reach a terrifying point in the future", the elder told the truth.

"Is there a way to help separate the nightmare remnant soul in his body?" Dai Tiande asked.

Shi Xuan was also worried at this time, and this was what he was most afraid of.

"Difficult, I have never found a successful case in ancient books, it is difficult for external forces to separate it, but there are many records of cases where the host successfully suppressed and finally calcined the nightmare, which means that as long as the host can successfully suppress the nightmare, there is a chance to kill him in the future," the elder said.
