Chapter 2 The Dispute of the Clans
On the Demon Soul Continent, the currently known cultivation realm can be divided into seven realms, since becoming a demon soul warrior, they are the soul transformation realm, the human soul realm, the earth soul realm, the heavenly soul realm, the Pan soul realm, the venerable soul realm, and the divine soul realm, each realm has seven levels, and the demon soul is also divided into three levels: lower, middle, and high.
Since the cultivation exercises are derived from the cultivated demon souls, the higher the level of the demon souls, the stronger the exercises will be, and the higher the realm achieved.
It is said that hundreds of years ago, there were still many Soul Realm powerhouses in the human race, that is, Demon Soul Battle Venerable.
However, after the Great War between humans and demons, the strong men of the Terran withered sharply, and with the current state of the Terrans, reaching the Soul Realm was already the pinnacle of existence.
As for the Demon Soul God of War, it has become a legend thousands of years ago, and it is definitely an existence that can change the world and control all things.
The Zi family where Zi Teng is located has only been reduced from a first-class family to a second-rate family in the past hundred years, although so, it is also inherited by blood, and the bloodline demon soul is the fire cloud demon soul, which belongs to the high-level demon soul, and the cultivation is also the fire attribute exercise "Huoyun Jue" inherited by the family.
And what Zi Teng just used was the exercise "Nine Turns Red Flame Technique" that he had cultivated in his previous life, and it was also the exercise evolved by Zi Teng's bloodline demon soul "Nine Turns Flame Demon Soul" in his previous life.
The nine turns of the red flame are divided into nine turns, and each turn will undergo a qualitative change, Zi Teng's cultivation in his previous life to the peak of the Soul Respect Realm, and he only cultivated the demon soul to the fifth turn, the strength of the exercises and the demon soul is self-evident, how can the Zi family's "Fire Cloud Jue" be comparable to that high-level demon soul?
This may be Zi Teng's fate, first he was destroyed by others, his cultivation was abolished, his soul base was abolished, and then he opened the memory of his previous life, and he naturally remembered all the cultivation in his previous life, so he used the exercises of his previous life as a live horse doctor.
What Zi Teng never expected was that although his soul base was broken, it was not too completely broken, and one of the most basic functions of the "Nine Turns Red Flame Technique" was repair, repaired from the inside out, and as soon as the exercise was run for a while, he felt that the broken soul base began to show signs of condensation again.
And that's not all.
You must know that before becoming a demon soul warrior, there is no demon soul in the cultivator's body, because there is no fusion yet, and it only relies on its own soul power.
What made Zi Teng even more pleasantly surprised was that under the operation of the exercises, he actually felt a trace of the breath of the Nine Turns Flame Demon Soul in his dantian, does this mean that there is still a wisp of remnant soul in his previous life in his dantian?
Zi Teng was a little impatient to cultivate, so as to determine his judgment, but this was not the time, Zi Ning'er was still watching from the sidelines, and the situation in his body still needed to be seriously investigated.
"Sister Ning'er, I'm fine, I'll find a way to recover as soon as possible. ”
Zi Teng opened his eyes and said a word of comfort, he knew that Zi Ning'er was extremely worried about him at this time.
"Oh!"
Zi Ning'er knew that it would be so easy to recover if the soul base was destroyed, maybe the Teng brother in front of him would not be able to cultivate the demon soul in his life, but he couldn't bear to mention it again, so he just said quietly, ready to let Zi Teng have a good rest, but before leaving, he still reminded: "Tomorrow the family will hold a clan meeting, it may be a matter of replacing the heir, you ......" The next words were not sure how to continue.
"Ah, please tell my father, and say that I'm fine, take a day off for the time being, and I will attend the clan meeting on time tomorrow. ”
"Well, then you have a good rest, your body is just right, don't be tired!"
After Zi Teng finished speaking, Zi Ning'er nodded in response, not forgetting to tell her, and then she left.
As soon as Zi Ning'er left, Zi Teng also sighed softly, and the trick was played, and the "Nine Turns of Red Flame Technique" was running again.
The "Nine Turns Red Flame Technique" was really powerful, but after a moment's effort, Zi Teng could feel that those shattered soul bases had begun to slowly gather in one place, and at the same time, a looming remnant soul aura appeared again.
"Huh, isn't it?"
After feeling it seriously for a while, Zi Teng's brows furrowed slightly, and after a while, when the running path of the exercise reached the center of the eyebrows, the ignition of the fire-shaped tire was suddenly bright, flashing a strong red glow, and quickly faded again.
Although it was only for a moment, it still made Zi Teng grasp a trace of information and muttered: "I see!"
At this time, Zi Teng was a little disappointed, but he was not depressed, that demon soul aura did exist, but it was a little different from what he thought at the beginning.
After Zi Teng transported the exercises to the center of his eyebrows, the trace of demon soul breath was also brought to his mind, which made him know that it was not a wisp of remnant soul, but a kind of guidance, relying on this guidance, he could accurately find the location of a wisp of remnant soul in his previous life, and he had a feeling that that wisp of remnant soul was not far from here.
Confirming this situation, Zi Teng was not in a hurry, he wanted to come, looking for his previous life demon soul, and he had to make some preparations, for example, first restore the cultivation, and then find the remnant soul before he fused the demon soul.
At this time, Zi Teng had already focused on repairing the soul base.
Repairing the soul base is an extremely painful process, and every bit of condensation will make Zi Teng feel like his dantian has been torn apart.
Although Zi Teng was in pain, he had joy on his face, and he felt that the soul base was condensing little by little, and the condensed part was more than twice as strong as before, the stronger the soul base, the better it would be for him to fuse the demon soul in the future.
............
Early in the morning, Zi Teng first went to see his father, Zi Yanfei, the head of the Zi family.
When Zi Yanfei saw that Zi Teng was indeed fine, he was relieved, but he was just sad for his son's cultivation.
As for who injured himself like this, Zi Teng didn't tell the truth, only said that he was accidentally injured by a demonic beast.
Since opening the memory of his previous life, perhaps affected by the experience of his previous life, Zi Teng's character has become invisibly calm, and those bad habits in the past have made him ashamed, one is that he knows that his family is not able to match those high-level families, and the other is that he has to rely on himself to break this grievance.
As a former peak powerhouse, he can keep a low profile, but he will never back down, and he must trample all the enemies under his feet and become a stepping stone on the road to his own strength.
............
A clan meeting is a meeting where the family gathers the senior management, core members and direct descendants of the family to discuss important family matters.
When Zi Teng came to the lobby with Zi Yanfei, all the people attending the meeting had already arrived, just waiting for the arrival of the father and son.
When Ziteng just stood at the front of the younger generation, he attracted several disdainful glances.
"Cut, it's all waste, and I'm embarrassed to stand in front!"
"That's it, I don't think he is qualified to participate in the clan meeting, and that position should have been given to Cousin Yue a long time ago. ”
Listening to the discussion behind him, the corners of Zi Teng's mouth twitched slightly, and he squinted at the "Cousin Yue" in their mouths, the son of the great elder of the Zi family, Zi Yue, who was not a year older than himself.
When the latter saw Zi Teng looking at him, his eyes first flinched a little, and then he remembered that Zi Teng was already a waste, so he couldn't help but be bold, straightened his chest vigorously, and immediately changed to a provocative look.
Zi Teng shook his head and chuckled, this Zi Yue used to be like a dog's leg in front of him, and he could inquire clearly about which girl was beautiful, and this became really fast.
However, this kind of sycophant, bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, Zi Teng really didn't take it seriously, it didn't take long to get him done in minutes.
Some changes between the juniors, the senior members of the several families sitting at the top of the group all saw it, and when they saw that Zi Teng no longer had a trace of cultivation on his body, they were also a little disdainful, and they did not stop the discussion between the juniors, more like connivance.
"Hmph. ”
Zi Yanfei had already seen the clue, flicked his sleeves, couldn't help but snort coldly, and sat in the middle with a swagger, but the voice was condensed with a trace of demonic soul power, which shook everyone's ears and immediately stopped the discussion.
"Ahem, ahem. ”
Seeing that all the people who participated in the clan meeting were complete, the Great Elder Zi Yanguang deliberately coughed a few times and announced the start of the clan meeting.
The younger generation who participated in the clan meeting almost didn't have much right to speak, in fact, they just listened to the discussion of a few elders, and at first they only discussed a few less important matters in the family, until the hall was silent.
"Is it finally getting started?"
Zi Teng smiled contemptuously, he had already prepared in his heart, and his face was indifferent.
"Hehehe, Ziteng, how is the injury, we elders are all worried about it. ”
Sure enough, Great Elder Zi Yanguang first glanced around the hall, and finally fixed his gaze on Zi Teng's body, and asked with a smile.
"Thank you Great Elder for your concern, I'm fine. ”
In the face of the great elder's hypocrisy, Zi Teng was also quite speechless, how could he not usually see you worrying, but as a junior, he still bowed down, neither humble nor arrogant.
"Oh, yes?"
The Great Elder pretended to be a little puzzled and said, "Then why can't I feel your cultivation, is your cultivation higher than that of us old guys?"
"Hey, hey, I think it's out of cultivation. ”
Second Elder Zi Yanming laughed on the side, and said in a strange voice: "What a coincidence, there are less than two months before the city-wide qualifying competition, what do you compare with others, it needs to be led by the strongest person under the age of sixteen in the direct family line." ”
"For the sake of the family, I don't think it's time to consider a replacement. After Zi Yanming finished speaking, he reminded again.
"Well, what the second brother said is right. ”
Great Elder Zi Yanguang was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly echoed, and then said: "I see, my son Zi Yue, who is not angry, is not bad, and he is completely capable of leading the team. ”
"Hey, I said big brother, although Ziyue is a candidate, it can't be too absolute, my family's Ziyan has also reached the three stars of the soul condensation stage, but it's not worse than Ziyue!"
Second Elder Zi Yanming hurriedly retorted, and then added: "And Zi Yan is half a year younger than Zi Yue, I think it is more suitable for Zi Yan." ”
The two elders said one sentence to me, Zi Teng wanted to laugh when he heard it, this is not enough, the two of them have already begun to grab a place for their son.
"Alright. ”
For the two of them without concealment, Zi Yanfei felt angry when he heard it, and said with a deep sigh: "Two elders, the interests of the family are important, but Teng'er is the heir of the head of the family after all, and the two elders are clamoring for a change here, is it a bit suspicious of seizing the main hall?"
After Zi Yanfei finished speaking, without waiting for the two elders to speak, he slapped the armrest of the chair, suddenly stood up, and continued: "Isn't it not long before the position of my family master will be handed over?"
Second Elder Zi Yanming's heart was shocked, this is to go online, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Family Master, we don't mean this, it is completely from the interests of the family, if you want to say that we covet the position of the head of the family, it is a crime to add to it." ”
When Zi Teng heard it below, he couldn't help but cheer for his father, and a few words scared the second elder.
But after hearing this, the Great Elder smiled and said, "Don't you know that the ranking competition is related to the ranking of the family, even if you can't squeeze into the first-class family, you have to ensure that you don't fall behind in the second-rate family, aren't we thinking about it right?"
"Hmph, is that so?"
Zi Yanfei snorted coldly and asked rhetorically, and then continued: "The junior is seriously injured and temporarily in disrepair, so it's just a matter of not giving care and comfort, and he has to take the opportunity to deprive the junior of his identity, but what did the elder do?"
"Temporary disrepair is easy to say. ”
The Great Elder Zi Yanguang showed a look of disdain, and pointed at Zi Teng and said: "The soul base is completely destroyed, the cultivation is lost, and it is difficult to recover compared to ascending to the sky, let alone leading the team, even if it is no longer possible to participate, the head of the family will not be able to fool us." The words were very affirmative.
"This old fox usually sells old for old, and this time he will definitely take this opportunity to put pressure on his father. ”
Zi Teng knew that the Zi family was divided into three factions, one was the faction of the head of the family, that is, the first faction of the father's main hall, the other was the faction of the great elders, and the other was the faction of the second elders.
Because in the qualifying round, who can lead the team hints at who is most likely to become the heir of the head of the family, and the heir of the head of the family is the main hall of the family in the future.
"These two old guys must not be allowed to get away with it. ”
Thinking of this, Zi Teng smiled confidently, stood up from the team, and saluted Zi Yanfei: "Father, the child has something to say." ”
