Volume 14 Chapter 38 The ceremony is held, and the evil guests are coming
The power of time is irresistible, and even the so-called immortal existence only obtains a life that can be restored and never wither, and it is not really beyond time.
In fact, even the Creation God Monarch cannot transcend time, and the best evidence is that there is no supernatural power in the world that can make time flow backwards.
On the issue of "time", no matter how great a being is, it can only do something specious.
At least as far as Wu Xie knew, the Supreme Divine Monarch back then could not transcend time.
What even the Supreme Divine Monarch can't do, of course, it's even more impossible for the people of the Three Mountains Dao.
More than sixty years have been too long for this casual cultivator who can't even enter the netherworld, reaching half of his entire life.
If we were to find a random forty-year-old and ask, "Can you name some of the unfamiliar people you occasionally met when you were twenty years old?" I believe that nine out of ten people will shake their heads blankly, and they can't even list a name. This is the case with the people of Sanshan Dao. For him, Wu Jiaji was just a hiding and cultivating place from the age of fifty to sixty, although he only had an innate realm at that time, but with the magic and treasures obtained by the adventures, ordinary cultivators were not put in his eyes at all, and even the slightly inferior Tongyou monks had the confidence to fight.
As such a master, he naturally disdained to have anything to do with those mortals, so he simply made a withdrawn and indifferent appearance, and even made his own residence deserted, so as to drive away those nasty things.
His approach was undoubtedly successful, the entire Wu family gathered hundreds of people, and none of them had the slightest interest in the Three Mountains Temple, except for the imperial court officers who would inspect every year, probably Du Ruo would come to the door to eat after asking about Tianxiang.
It is said that the people of Sanshan Dao should have some impression of Du Ruo, and Du Ruo himself thinks so - after the remnant soul of Sanshan Daoren deceived her body, he once told Wu Xie that he planned to teach her to be his apprentice. But it turns out that the guy is completely lying! The people of Sanshan Dao looked at Wu Xie and Du Ruo in confusion, and could see that he was trying to recall, but he was not able to recall anything valuable.
The girl who was once killed by him, and the boy who finally foiled his remaining conspiracy, did not leave any impression on him before the story.
…… If he had asked this question sixty years ago, he might have been able to recall some of it, but if he asked it sixty years later, he had forgotten all the things that were not important.
Wu Xie sighed, flicked his fingers, and the flames flew in the air, turning into a reddish mirror in an instant, and the scenes of the year were reflected in the mirror.
The Three Mountains Watching Fighting Method, the Three Mountains Dao people who took away Du Ruo, the raid on the top of the mountain, and the desperate duel at night in Wu Jiaji......
"Do you have an impression of this?"
Of course, the Sanshan Dao people had an impression, especially when he saw that formation that could summon the Heavenly Demon Projection was activated, the expression on his face was very exciting.
First ecstasy, then regret, and finally fear. All the changes are only between a short breath or two, which is dizzying, like the most tense and intense bridge on the stage, which will be missed if you are not careful.
Of course, Wu Xie would not miss any of his expressions, and after the expression of the Sanshan Daoist was fixed in fear, he snorted coldly and made a look of "I know everything".
Although in fact he still hasn't been able to understand what is going on, although he doesn't pretend to be very similar, but for the Sanshan Dao people who have been locked up for decades and have long worn out all their courage, his expression has a sufficient deterrent power.
…… In other words, Wu Jie's powerful cultivation was enough to deter this weak loose cultivator.
So he desperately confessed everything, a "big secret" that seemed very important to him, but was actually not worth mentioning to Wu Jie.
In the Demon Gate, there are often people who sneak into Kyushu. Some of these people are here to do some important things, such as Bian Liequan, who is refining powerful magic weapons; There are also those who are just to cause a little trouble to the righteous path of Kyushu, and the right to be adjusted.
Among them, there is such a demon demon, who left a treasure in a very secret place, and there are many things in the treasure that are quite valuable for low-level casual cultivation, but the most precious of them is a plausible Taoist book.
It was a secret book of the Demon Dao, which recorded the refining methods of several powerful magic weapons, and there was even an extremely wonderful spell.
For the sake of this treasure, there were many killings and fights, and finally a lucky person named Liu San obtained them. This prodigal child, who was originally just swept away by the villagers of his hometown, became a master of the Tao, and decades later, under the pseudonym "Sanshan Daoren", returned to his hometown, Wu Jiaji, which brought him life and shame.
"It turns out that this guy has been arranging the magic array all along, and he wants to sacrifice the entire Wu family set." After returning to the room, Du Ruo looked sullen, "You, me, and everyone in the Wu family are just sacrifices to him. ”
The reason why Liu San was able to cultivate as a mortal with very poor qualifications in just over ten years was the magic in that secret book. That spell can get benefits from the Heavenly Demons by sacrificing sacrifices to the Extraterritorial Heavenly Demons. The reason why he was able to step into the innate realm was that he was rewarded by the heavenly demons by sacrificing more than ten drunks who had been deceived.
But his qualifications are too poor, and he is unwilling to work hard, so he has not made much progress in his cultivation for a long time. In this case, it was natural for him to think of the sacrificial spell again.
Only this time, he's going to play big!
In fact, if it weren't for Zhen Han and the others arresting him in time, he originally planned to sacrifice the entire Wu family on the winter solstice of that year, on the longest night of the year, and get a reward from the Heavenly Demon again, so that he could step into the realm of hundred refinements.
However, it is probably the so-called evil that does not prevail over the good, Liu San's conspiracy has not had time to be implemented, and he was noticed by Zhen Han, who is a chivalrous and righteous dragon faction everywhere, and after a vicious fight, his methods are simply helpless, and he was captured alive, and since then he has been locked in this dungeon that has not seen the sky, and has served sixty years of hard labor.
In the past sixty years, Liu San has been worn away from the laziness and idleness in his bones, and he has also sharpened the temperament that some cultivators should have. This guy's luck is really good, and he actually made a breakthrough in this situation and stepped into the realm of hundred refinements.
Looking back on his life, he was quite emotional about his own experience, and he didn't know whether to say it was happy or sad.
However...... He has never been able to recall anything related to Wu Xie and Du Ruo.
He didn't know that in a secret treasure that he had originally cultivated to escape death, that wisp of split soul had made waves after his deity was captured, not only killing Du Ruo, but also almost completing his evil plan.
He also didn't know the Tao of Lu, and by coincidence, he became an opportunity for Wu Xie to seek the Tao.
Of course, Wu Xie and Du Ruo didn't say anything, and the questioning was over.
After many years of doubt, he finally got an unexpected answer, and Du Ruo looked a little sullen.
But after all, she is an open-minded person, and she could even laugh at life and death at the beginning, what is this little thing?
So in less than an hour, she was cheerful again.
"Sanshan Daoist didn't get my apprentice, it's his mistake - if he can get involved with me, maybe with my help, he will be able to see his surname Tongyou, and even become angry!"
Wu Xie nodded, and wisely did not say the words "It is more likely that you master and apprentice are ...... to death somewhere."
Ignoring the Sanshan Daoist who continued to sit in prison until death, Du Ruo, who let go of a small knot, began to concentrate on cultivation, she felt that she seemed to have found an opportunity to progress, and declared that after this cultivation, she should be able to make progress.
Of course, Wu Xie was looking forward to her being able to break through again - her last breakthrough was only the result of receiving a humane gift, not that she herself had made substantial progress in cultivation, but this time, it must be completely different!
It's just that he can't help but feel a little regretful, Du Ruo retreats and cultivates, and Jasmine is also refining a powerful magic weapon that can restrain the magic power of the demon gate according to his requirements, among the three residents of the Heavenly Book World, the only one who has time to chat with him is the taciturn and expressionless Du Xin.
Chatting with Du Xin is definitely not a pleasant thing, and this is true for each other.
This dull atmosphere made his mood that had been slightly relieved start to deteriorate again, and on the day of the Yuxuan Zhenren Ning Yuan Ceremony, even if he deliberately put on a relaxed and joyful appearance, he couldn't help but exude an undisturbing low air pressure on his body, which made Zhou Chen, who had come to invite him, shiver as soon as he entered the door.
Looking at Zhifeizhen's smile, it was clear that the temperature in the room was quite high, but Zhou Chen felt cold from the bottom of his heart.
"Zhifei Zhenren, the ceremony is about to begin, are you ready to enter now?" He asked respectfully.
Wu Xie thought for a moment, nodded, and followed him to the venue.
The Dragon Sect is not a famous faction, and it can't play any big scenes. Even if it was the Ning Yuan Grand Ceremony of the Supreme Elder Yuxuan Zhenren, it was just a small auditorium in the main hall of the main gate, and then a large wine banquet was set up in the courtyard.
In the midst of the noise, Wu Xie followed Zhou Chen through the banquet hall where there were already many guests in the theater, and came to the auditorium.
The atmosphere inside the auditorium was much more solemn than outside, but even so, it didn't look like much of a fairy family. Wu Xie felt that this was not so much a celebration of immortals as a birthday banquet for a wealthy farmer......
The seats in the auditorium were divided into chairman and guest seats, the first chairman was Liu Cheng, the contemporary head of the Dragon Sect, and Zhen Han sat second. In addition to them, the other four elders of the Dragon Sect were all present, and none of them were missed.
The guest seats are also six, and the remaining five have already arrived, and Wu Jie's seat is ranked at the top of the guest seats.
When he was still in the courtyard, Wu Xie had already used his divine thoughts to find out the cultivation of everyone present - except for Zhen Han, who was in the middle stage of refining, the one with the highest cultivation was the old monk who was the second in the guest seat, but he had just stepped into the middle stage of refining, which was slightly inferior to Zhen Han.
He didn't mean to suppress people with cultivation, considering that he was a guest today, it was not appropriate to dominate the guests, so before entering, he restrained his aura and suppressed it to the level of the peak stage of refining. That's enough. Those who are familiar with Wu Xie know that although he is not thoughtful and thoughtful enough, he is definitely a person who is good at thinking about others and knows how to be considerate of others.
When he stepped into the venue with the cultivation of the late stage of refining, he clearly saw the face of the head of the Dragon Sect first surprised and then happy, and then nodded to himself.
Of course, Master Liu knew that the cultivation of non-real people was profound, and even surpassed the elders of the sect. Although it is indeed a very face-saving thing to be able to invite a master to watch the ceremony, but to be honest...... The cultivation of the people who watched the ceremony was higher than that of the people who held the ceremony, which made him a little embarrassed.
According to his thoughts, it would be best to know that non-real people can hide their identities first, and then fully reveal their identities when the ceremony is almost over, and when the congratulatory guests give their congratulations, that is the most perfect.
But how dare he make such a rude request to Wu Jie! So I just muttered it in private, and that's it.
But he really didn't expect that Zhifei Zhenren really suppressed his breath and appeared at the level of refining the peak and half-step condensing yuan! This kind of cultivation is the most suitable! Elder Yu Xuanzi was actually only at the level of True Yuan Chu Condensation, and in terms of cultivation, it was not much higher than what Wu Xie had shown. And with the cultivation shown by Wu Jie, it is already a matter of course to condense into the true yuan'|Kidney One This is not only in line with the practice of "fellow monks come to observe the ceremony", but also takes good care of Elder Yu Xuanzi's face, which is indeed the best of both worlds.
It's just that he really never expected that Zhifei Zhenren would be so condescending!
That's not an ordinary monk, it's the head of the future of Qingyang Guan, the leader of the righteous path! As far as his identity is concerned, the most these people from the Dragon Sect are to visit him and say hello, and they don't even have the qualifications to talk to him!
Such a top master was actually willing to deliberately hide his cultivation in order to take care of the face of the Dragon Emperor Sect and Elder Yuxuan, which really moved Master Liu inexplicably!
"Sure enough, it's a famous faction! Even in the face of us small doors, they are so polite...... It's no wonder that in the battle of picking stars back then, the three major factions gave an order, and all the factions in Kyushu and even the masters of loose cultivation were willing to risk their lives to accompany them to the Nine Heavens and fight to the death with the Demon Gate and the Heavenly Demons!" The Dragon Sect was not able to participate in the battle of picking stars back then, and Master Liu couldn't quite understand the scattered cultivators who responded to the call of the three major factions and went to the outside of the world regardless of life and death, but today, he suddenly understood!
From today on, if Qingyangguan needs to ask the Dragon Sect for help with something, as long as he knows a word from a real person, even if he gives up his surname, he will definitely not complain!
As a weak person, there are strong people who respect and consider you to this point, what is this surname!
Cultivating the Tao and cultivating the Tao, what you cultivate is not the immortality of a turtle, but the freedom of crisscrossing the heavens and the earth, and the pleasure of revenge and chivalry is at ease!
The sigh of Master Liu was seen by everyone present.
Several elders of the Dragon Sect naturally understood what he was moved by, because they were equally moved. But the other five guests were a little confused, they looked at Wu Xie who walked in with a smile, frowned a few times, and chatted privately a few times using the method of sound transmission, and finally came up with a seemingly reasonable answer.
This flying immortal, who was at the peak of refining Gang and was half a step of condensing yuan, was probably in retreat and asceticism. In order to congratulate Elder Yu Xuanzi on his achievement of Ning Yuan, he specially came out of the customs to come, which is really a big face!
This is also reasonable, because if they were in that position, most of them would choose to continue the retreat, and at most send a disciple to congratulate them with a generous gift.
For cultivators, their own cultivation is the most important thing, and it is really unwise to delay one's breakthrough in order to congratulate others.
But the so-called friendship has nothing to do with wisdom in the first place. What do you mean by a good brother? It's not the one who can drink with you, it's the one who is willing to be stabbed with you!
This Taoist friend who everyone looks like is a good brother of the Dragon Sect! Compare hearts to hearts, if they are the head of Liu, they will definitely be very moved!
This small episode did not affect the whole ceremony, seeing that the auspicious time had arrived, the head of Liu stood up and served as the master of ceremonies as the head of the Dragon Sect, announcing the start of the ceremony.
The scale of Yu Xuan Zhenren's Ning Yuan celebration is not large, and it is not solemn, it is nothing more than that Liu Zhangmen first came to give a speech, in which he thanked all his colleagues for coming, thanked Yu Xuan Zhenren for his contribution to the Dragon Sect over the years, congratulated him on his final cultivation and came to the end of the world's law, and wished him early to understand his original heart and return to the Dan Achievement, so that he would ascend through the tribulation, and by the way, look forward to the future of the Dragon Sect, and make some good wishes......
Wu Xie sat there, calmly listening to Master Liu's speech, and couldn't help but smile slightly.
Although many of the contents of this congratulatory speech are unique to the Xianxia world, but if you listen carefully, its tone is very familiar!
Isn't it the kind of greeting that is commonplace on earth?
It seems that no matter what world you are in, such a speech is actually pretty much the same.
Just as he was smiling, his heart suddenly moved slightly, and his brows furrowed slightly.
In the sky, there are several breaths that are rapidly approaching!
Although Wu Xie suppressed his aura, his cultivation in the middle of Ning Yuan was not discounted at all. His divine thoughts were still powerful, and even if they weren't deliberately activated, they were enough to cover a radius of dozens of miles around him.
At this moment, in his divine thoughts, he clearly felt that there were five cultivators at the peak of refining who were rapidly approaching.
The aura of these five people is different, but they all reveal a significant malice, which shows that the person who came is not good. I think it's about the enemy of the Dragon Sect, and I want to take advantage of this time to make trouble.
It's just that...... Although each of these five people was stronger than any of the refining cultivators present, and even one person could fight several of them, don't forget, the Dragon Sect also has a Ning Yuan Elder!
Ning Yuan and Lian Gang, the gap is quite obvious. Even if the Jade Xuan Elder of the Dragon Sect had just stepped into the Ning Yuan Realm and could not give full play to the combat power of this realm, as long as he was in charge, plus the elders of the Dragon Sect and the guests who came to congratulate him, these five villains would definitely not be able to take advantage of it!
Don't say it's taking advantage, if you're not careful, the five of them are afraid that they will even lose their lives!
Wu Xie was puzzled in his heart, he really didn't understand what these five cultivators at the peak of refining were thinking-being able to cultivate to the peak of refining gang, it can be seen that the wisdom of the heart surname is good, such a person, even if he has a deep grudge with the Dragon Sect, he should retreat and cultivate, and wait until he breaks through the realm to seek revenge.
Now that I come over like this, not only will I not be able to take revenge, but I am afraid that I will even have to give my life......
He thought about it carefully, shook his head secretly, and urged another secret technique in the Fire Sect Fa, and his divine thoughts became obscure and vast, enveloping a larger scope.
This time, he finally understood why.
In the distant heavens, there was a monk in the middle of the Ning Yuan period, who was looking coldly at this side
