In late spring, the grass grows and the warbler flies, which is the season full of vitality.

At this time, Wu Jie, who was traveling outside the mountain gate and was doing chivalrous deeds everywhere as a martial arts master rather than an immortal, received a summons from the sect.

"Ancestor Zhang is out of the customs? He wants to see me?" This short summons made Wu Xie very puzzled, and he couldn't help but discuss with Du Xin again, "Do you think his old man has something to find me?"

"Maybe it's about taking over." As Du Xin, who has inherited a lot of information from the Great Light God Sect, she still has a good understanding of the way of thinking of the leaders of these sects, and after a little thought, she gave a more reliable answer, "Although I am not very clear about the general thinking of contemporary monks, but as one of the leaders of the immortal sect in the world, your sect should actually have quite high requirements for the head of the sect. ”

"Actually, I'm not ......"

"I know that you don't have any intention of peeping at the position of the head of the family, but since you are the eldest disciple of the twenty-seventh generation, as long as there is no accident, the position of the head of the future will definitely be yours."

"But don't talk to me now, it's still far from it!" Wu Xie couldn't help but mutter, "After the two Supreme Patriarchs are gone, the position of head will be passed from the twenty-fifth generation to the twenty-sixth generation. There are so many uncles and uncles in the twenty-sixth generation, and any one can be the head. ”

"The so-called order of the elders and young, if your sect wants to pass on the throne according to the rules, the heir should be the general, right?" Although there was a question in his words, Du Xin used an affirmative tone, "He is not suitable." ”

"What's wrong with Uncle Master?"

"He's an anomaly." Du Xin said lightly, "When the leaders of the Great Light God Sect passed on the throne in the past dynasties, there were more than one situation where the most suitable successor was the Dharma Protector Divine General. But we have never let the Dharma Protector General serve as the sect leader, this is because among the monks in the world, especially the high-level monks, after all, the human race is the core. No matter how open-minded a person is, he may not be able to accept a foreign race to become the leader of a famous sect of the human race. ”

"Huh? Aren't you Dharma Protectors Terrans?"

"Monsters, elves, traps, androids...... The Dharma Protector will be the backbone of the support sect, of course, you have to choose a long life. Du Xin said, "But the head of a sect, Shou Yuan, should not be too long, because if he has presided over the sect for too long, his way of thinking will be easily seen through by the enemy, which is very dangerous." ”

Wu Xie shook his head again and again when he heard this, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's really troublesome!"

"Actually, it's not as much trouble as you think, after all, that's in the future. There are still two Supreme Elders in your sect, and even if they want to ascend or sit down, it will take at least twenty or thirty years. Du Xin suddenly changed her words, "Actually, there is one thing that you can consider solving now." ”

"Oh? What's the matter?"

"Help Du Ruo solve the identity problem."

Hearing this, Wu Xie was silent for a while and nodded.

"Thank you for the reminder! The matter of the third sister should indeed be solved in a way!"

"I usually just sit and think nonsense, and of course I think about a lot of things." Du Xin said lightly, "Although she has your protection, she will not encounter any danger, even if she can fly to the upper realm with you in the future." But after all, you are still too early to ascend, and you still have to be active in the human world for a long time. If you get her an upright identity earlier, there will be a lot less trouble in the future. ”

Wu Xie nodded again and again: "Then do you have any suggestions?"

"You can take her to the ruins of the Great Light God Sect where those people found me, and I will teach her some inheritance techniques of this sect, so that she can strayed into this sect in the next life, but unfortunately died in it." "This status is very valuable, and it also helps to elevate her status." What's more, this identity can get the benefits of the Great Light God Cult without taking the associated risks, the best of both worlds. ”

Her idea was very good, but Wu Xie did not agree immediately, but said that she would think about it again.

Anyway, Du Ruo is still in retreat, even if he wants to get her an official identity, he will have to wait until she is out of the customs.

And...... Wu Xie asked himself, he didn't like the method that Du Xin thought.

Du Ruo is Du Ruo, the daughter of Wu Jiaji's father Du, the sister of Du Pre, the general of the Iron Wall of the Great Chu State, and the sworn sister of his Wu Jie. Since you want to fight for her an upright identity, you should let her use her real identity in a dignified manner!

Wu Xie was born to dislike lies and deceive people, even Yin Shuang's incident, he told the truth to the head as much as possible, and got the understanding and support of the head of the house.

Du Ruo's identity will not be more troublesome and sensitive than Yin Shuang!

Wu Xie sorted out some chaotic thoughts and rushed back to Qingyang Mountain.

Ancestor Zhang is an old man with a white beard and hair, but he still looks energetic. He sat calmly on the chair of the Patriarch's Hall, but there was an irrepressible strange fluctuation on his body, as if it was constantly echoing with some mysterious force in this heaven and earth, which could cause wonderful changes at any time.

When Wu Xie saluted him, he smiled happily.

"I've only been in retreat for so long, and you've completely stabilized your cultivation in the middle stage of Ning Yuan, it's really rare!" He smiled and said to Shaoguang Zhenren who was sitting next to him, "Shaoguang, I remember that our cultivation progress back then was far inferior to him!"

"It can't be compared at all." Shaoguang Zhenren smiled, "Take him as a reference, it's not happy for yourself!"

It can be seen that they are in a good mood. However, compared with Patriarch Zhang, Shaoguang Zhenren had a little irrepressible excitement, and there was joy and high-spirited intent between his eyebrows.

"Hmm...... Wu Jie, I heard Shaoguang say, most of you are the reincarnation of the Heavenly Demon of the Upper Realm, why should you abandon the past path and choose the right path?" Patriarch Zhang spoke without scruples, revealing a kind of free and easy that people in the Qingyang view take for granted.

This kind of free and easy, Wu Xie has seen it in the real person of the Pillow Stone, and Patriarch Zhang's temperament is a little like the real person of the Pillow Stone, which makes him feel very kind.

"Because I don't like that road." Wu Xie did not hesitate, and replied simply, "While advancing, I calculated everyone around me, regarded everyone as a potential enemy, and did not trust anyone or rely on anyone...... Even if such a road comes to an end, it will only be a lonely person, what's the point?"

"Oh? Are you at the end of your rope?"

"Can I not answer this question?"

Patriarch Zhang's Ha Lu Ha Da Lu smiled: "Of course you can!" I'm sure you can also see that I have already returned to Dan for eight turns, and I will soon be tribulated. Because I don't have much to live for, I will probably soar immediately after the tribulation. If you have anything to say, you might as well bring it up now, old man, I don't need this old face now, it will be invalid when it expires. ”

This was said so humorously that Shaoguang Zhenren and Wu Xie couldn't help laughing.

Wu Xie pondered for a while, and then said about Du Ruo: "The disciple used to say that in the Wu family set, there was a righteous sister who was killed by the demons, and the soul has always been lodged in the soul-nourishing ancient jade. Some time ago, she suggested that I promote some home-cooked recipes that are suitable for ordinary people, but I was unexpectedly praised by humane...... Now that she is in retreat, I wonder if I can arrange an identity for her after she gets out?"

"What's so difficult about this, this door doesn't care about one more guest." Shaoguang Zhenren smiled, "Actually, if she stays in retreat long enough, maybe you can solve this problem yourself." ”

Wu Xie was stunned for a moment, not understanding what he meant.

"You'll understand in the future,......" Shaoguang Zhenren didn't say much, and ended the conversation.

Wu Xie hurriedly came back, there was supposed to be a very serious and formal questioning, but unexpectedly, it just ended with a few words of chatter like a homely routine, and he couldn't help but be a little puzzled, and after returning to his house, he was still wondering.

He didn't know what to do, and when he left, Shaoguang Zhenren and Patriarch Zhang were still talking about him.

"It seems that this Wu Xie was really a great man in the upper realm back then!" Patriarch Zhang's expression was very serious, "Regarding the topic of his previous life, don't talk about it lightly in the future, it's best to simply treat him as a genius in our Kyushu realm - those grievances and grievances in the upper realm are not something we can meddle in, don't even ask." ”

"Disciple understands! Patriarch, do you think he's still suitable?"

"Yes." Patriarch Zhang nodded, "It's just that I've felt it occasionally, but I'm afraid of ...... Things won't go as smoothly as we thought they would. ”

Shaoguang Zhenren was taken aback, and suddenly became a little nervous: "Ancestor, have you noticed something?" Could it be that in the dark, something will happen that is not good for this sect?"

You may not believe it...... But I do feel that the luck of the righteous path in this world seems to be decreasing, but on the contrary, the luck of the Heavenly Demon Gate outside the sky is improving, which is really ridiculous!"

"This ...... We have only recently been born with the stars, and many of us have clearly felt the humane praise. Why is it that luck is lowered?"

"I don't understand that, but ...... This change in fortune does not seem to have come from humanity. ”

Shaoguang Zhenren suddenly changed color, and even showed a shocked look.

If the current trend of growth and decline is not driven by humanity, then it is the result of the movement of heaven - although humanity and heaven are both powerful and mysterious, but humanity is a collection of people's minds after all, and its way of thinking and acting can be speculated, and the way of heaven is ......

The law of the Heavenly Dao is simple to say, it is nothing more than "making up for the deficiency after losing more than is lost". But it has neither good nor evil, and it never thinks about the common people when it does things, and it does not play a positive role for the righteous monks who have the common people in mind.

If the change in fortune was driven by the Heavenly Dao, it would be easy to understand - with the Star Picking War, the advantage that the Righteous Path had over the Demon Gate was already incomparably greater. In this case, if you want to lose more than you lose and make up for what you don't have, you will naturally reduce the luck of the righteous path and increase the demon gate.

It's just that...... Although the truth is easy to understand, it is emotionally unacceptable

"You don't have to be too careful." Seeing that he was shocked and indignant, Patriarch Zhang smiled and persuaded, "It's not like this kind of situation hasn't happened back then. ”

"The patriarch is saying...... After the First World War in the East China Sea?"

"That's right, after the First Battle of the East China Sea, the luck of the Demon Gate fell to the bottom, and it looked like it was about to be wiped out by the coalition forces of my Kyushu. But it was at this time that the Heavenly Dao intervened, which made the luck of both sides grow and wane, so that the Demon Gate got a chance to survive, and only then did it have the three teachings of the past thousands of years, fighting to the death one after another. Patriarch Zhang showed a look of remembrance, "I am a young cultivator and have never experienced that great war myself, but I have always been interested in the study of luck and have collected a lot of information in this regard. ”

"At that time, if it weren't for the Heavenly Dao to reduce the luck of our righteous path and fuel the luck of the Demon Gate, which was about to dry up, how could we hold the heavens and the heavens with that group of remnants defeated!"

"Doesn't it mean that guarding the heavens and the outer heavens is because the Demon Gate sacrificed the legendary twelve gods and demons?"

"Using the remains of the Immortal Heavenly Demon as raw materials to refine the Twelve Gods and Demons, how can it be so easy!" Patriarch Zhang sneered, "There are also capable people in the Demon Gate, and with the help of the luck given to them by the Heavenly Dao, these twelve gods and demons were refined, and they were used to fight for the most critical hundred years of respite......

He shook his head as he spoke, revealing a confident and disdainful smile: "It's just that although Heavenly Dao can give them luck, it can't directly convert luck into combat power after all. Now the momentum of the Dao Chief's demon disappearance is even more significant than after the first battle in the East China Sea, even if he has the luck of the Heavenly Dao, how many talents have emerged from the Demon Gate in one breath, it is too late to quickly transform into combat effectiveness. ”

"What does the patriarch mean...... Should we attack the Outer Heavens as soon as possible?"

"No, quite the opposite!" Patriarch Zhang smiled, and there was a kind of cunning unique to the old rivers and lakes in his smile, "The change of luck should have started when the sword abandonment failed to ascend, and it has not even been ten years now. No matter how fast the talents of the Demon Gate grow, it will take at least two hundred years for a person to go from birth to Ning Yuan - Wu Xie is a special case and cannot be used as a reference. ”

"According to the experience of the last time, the Heavenly Dao Blessing should only be more than 100 years old. In other words, after this group of people refined, before Ning Yuan, the blessing of Heavenly Dao's qi luck on them should dissipate. And that's the perfect time for us to strike a thunderbolt!" Shaoguang Zhenren turned his worries into joy and nodded again and again. "Well, you don't have to worry too much. Back then, your predecessors and ancestors could beat the Demon Gate blessed by the Heavenly Dao to the point of shrinking into the outer heavens as turtles, of course you can!" Patriarch Zhang laughed a few times, "It's really a coincidence, the Taixu Patriarch back then, and Wu Xie now, are all people who are good at the Fire Ministry's Fa-rectification, and this Fire Ministry's Fa-rectification is exactly the means for the Upper Realm Fighting God to kill the demons...... Maybe it's already doomed in the dark, the career that the Taixu Patriarch was not able to complete back then is now coming to an end by Wu Jie!"

"This is also the result of your spiritual perception?"

"Ha Lu Ha! How can it be! Pure speculation. Ancestor Zhang looked very happy, "Although I can't accompany you to fight, I will wait for your good news in the upper realm!"

He had no doubts about whether he could succeed in the catastrophe, and he was full of confidence.

Therefore, a few days later, when all the disciples outside the sect were called back, he came to the peak of the highest tribulation peak in the entire Qingyang Mountain and started to cross the tribulation.

The monks are not of much help to others. What Shaoguang Zhenren can do is to lead all the elders to completely launch the mountain protection array that envelops Qingyang Mountain, and firmly protect the entire Qingyang Mountain, so that no one with bad intentions will have a chance to take advantage of it.

The seniors who have intersected with this sect have already come. The rest are either in retreat, or have no intention of watching the excitement, or they are too young to entrust them with big things. Shaoguang Zhenren has always been cautious in doing things, and will never let these people have a chance to get close, so he asked for the surname to stop them all outside - anyway, the power of the Heavenly Tribulation is so fierce, even outside Qingyang Mountain, you may see eight or nine points, presumably they will not have much opinion.

It's too late!

At this moment, the sky was already gloomy, and the infinite thunder light fell one after another, and the roaring sound was continuous, even if you were in the retreat area halfway down the mountainside, you could feel that the air was constantly vibrating, and there was a terrifying coercion that continued to emanate from the top of the mountain, making people can't help but stand on end.

"Is this the Catastrophe?" An Ziqing's eyes were fixed on the thunder that was constantly roaring, and in addition to nervousness, there was also a desire that could not be concealed, "The power of heavenly thunder is really extremely powerful!" If I can cultivate such a thunderbolt, I will definitely be able to sweep the world and slaughter all the evil dragons and demon beasts!"

"This power is not so easy to master." Because he had seen the sword abandonment disciples crossing the tribulation in Wuhui Valley, Yi Yi was much calmer than ordinary people, so he still had the heart to chat with An Ziqing, "I think instead of thinking about how to master this strength, it is better to think about how to cross the tribulation when we cultivate to the current realm of Ancestor Zhang?"

"That's too far away......"

"Not necessarily! What Patriarch Zhang can do, how do we know that we can't do it?" Yi Yi smiled, his smile full of confidence. But he still had half a sentence, but he didn't say it. Let alone...... The Heavenly Tribulation I saw this time was far worse than the time when I abandoned the sword disciple at the beginning!

Wu Xie was not in the Jingshe area at the moment, but went up a lot, crossed the misty Dongfu area, came to the bottom of the Crossing Tribulation Peak, and stood beside Jiang'an and Zhang Long.

In front of them, the black rocks gradually faded, as long as they walked more than a hundred steps, they could see many white spots appear among the rocks, and a mile away, there were almost no black stones, only a round white stone that had been tempered by the thunder and turned white and flawless, and even the slightest edge and corner could not be seen.

Their position is the most suitable position to observe the tribulation, which has been summed up based on experience. Around the huge Crossing Peak, at this height, there are many predecessors and masters.

These are absolutely credible disciples or close friends, and observing the tribulation is a rare opportunity for great creation, so it is natural for them to take a good look at it.

It's just that to stand here, you also need enough cultivation. If you can't condense into the true element, you won't even have the qualifications to stand here.

At this distance, if the true yuan is not condensed, as long as the aftermath of a few thunder tribulations is reached, the true qi of the whole body will be dispersed.

"It's been more than a hundred years since I saw the ancestor cross the catastrophe." Jiang An sighed, "I don't know if Patriarch Lu Daozhang can succeed ......."

"I guess I can." Wu Xie replied casually, "This thunder doesn't look like he doesn't intend to make people succeed in the tribulation." Jiang An and Zhang Long glanced at each other and didn't say anything. Thunder roared, wave after wave. When the sixth wave of thunder tribulation finally ended, the dark clouds that shrouded the sky suddenly cracked open, and a colorful glow fell on the top of the Tribulation Peak, only to see a figure standing in the glow, slowly flying towards the sky.

"Congratulations to Patriarch Zhang for his ascension!"

"Congratulations to Daoist Zhang for flying to heaven!"

For a while, the sound of cheers and blessings was one after another, whether it was sincerely watching the ceremony, coming to see the excitement, or being suspicious, all of them seriously bowed their heads and extended sincere blessings to the pioneer who finally came to the end of the world and successfully took the last step!
