Chapter 1: The Fall
Since ancient times, the sects of cultivation have all chosen the place where the spiritual veins of the spiritual energy gathered, and built the address of the sect with great construction, and the rich aura of heaven and earth has an incomparable attraction for these sects that cultivate the truth and seek the Tao. It's just that most of these spiritual veins are buried deep in the depths of those deep mountains and valleys, and it is not easy to find a suitable spiritual vein mountain and river for building a sect. However, once such a place is found, the effect on the entire sect is very great.
The richness of the aura of heaven and earth directly affects the cultivation level of cultivators within the sect and restricts the development and growth of the sect. Most of the spirit veins are located in the valleys of the peaks and valleys of the terrain, and some large defensive formations are arranged here, which can play a role in defending against foreign enemies.
Cultivators have always paid attention to the cultivation of the state of mind, advocating to be close to nature, to be close to nature, and to perceive those ethereal ways of cultivation in nature. Therefore, the vast majority of cultivators' monastic places are far away from the hustle and bustle of human cities, and they live in seclusion in the secluded and quiet mountains where spiritual energy gathers, resulting in an unfathomable image of cultivators in the eyes of the world.
The mountain range that appears in front of you is boundless emerald green covering the mountains, and the light smoke lingers between the peaks, and the peaks and peaks are steep and steep. In the lush mountains and forests, you can hear the roars of birds and beasts from time to time, reflecting a vibrant scene.
Along this winding and undulating mountain range, there are towering peaks of uneven heights, and there is a tall and majestic peak, which seems to appear among the mountains like a sudden army. The verdant forests of the mountains sway in the wind, and many buildings with attic eaves can be faintly seen, scattered all over the peaks. This mountain range belongs to a sect of cultivation called the Three Immortals Sect. This mountain peak is the location of the sect of the Three Immortals Sect, called the Three Immortals Mountain.
According to legend, the Three Immortals Sect was founded by the ancestor of the Three Immortals Sect, and this ancestor master's skills were amazing, and he became famous all over the world for his sword cultivation, talisman seals, and alchemy. The Sanxian Mountain Range stretched for thousands of miles, and it was originally a wild land where demon beasts were entrenched. The ancestor of the Three Immortal Sect relied on his cultivation to expel or kill all the demon beasts in this mountain range, thus establishing a faction of the Three Immortal Sect, occupying this spiritual vein where thousands of miles of spiritual energy gathered around him, and collecting disciples to teach spells to spread out, and gradually became a well-known Xiuzhen sect in the cultivation world.
After thousands of years of development, the Three Immortals Sect already has hundreds of thousands of disciples, and there are nearly 10,000 core disciples in the sect. The Three Immortals Sect is very strict with the recruitment conditions for its disciples, and those who can be lucky enough to become disciples of the Three Immortals Sect are all people with outstanding qualifications and understanding.
The disciples of the Three Immortal Sect are divided into two sects, the inner and outer sects, and the disciples of the outer sect have three major exercises to choose from, namely the Sword Sect, the Fu Sect, and the Dan Sect. Among them, the attack power of the disciples who cultivated the Sword Sect was the strongest, and the disciples under the sect were also the largest sub-sects, and the other two sects were not as large as the number of the Sword Sect due to the limitations of the cultivation conditions. However, disciples of the outer sect can only choose one exercise major, and it is impossible for the disciples of the outer sect to cultivate the other two top exercises of the Three Immortal Sect before they are selected into the inner sect. The cultivation of disciples of the outer sect was mainly based on laying the foundation, and the boring basic cultivation occupied most of the time of these disciples, so that they did not have the time and energy to cultivate other advanced exercises at all.
Regardless of which branch of the Outer Sect is, as long as these Outer Sect disciples can get the top ten in the Outer Sect Disciple Fighting Contest every three years, they are eligible to enter the Inner Sect cultivation and become a veritable Inner Sect disciple. The management of the Inner Sect is even more severe, if it is not for the outstanding genius who is really diligent and persevering, there is no chance to stand out among the many disciples of the Inner Sect and become the core disciple of the Three Immortal Sect.
The identities of the disciples of the inner sect and the disciples of the outer sect are very different, in addition to being able to cultivate to the top level of the cabinet of the Three Immortals Sect, they will also have their own piece of spiritual energy treasure land and a fixed supply of spiritual stones every year, unlike the disciples of the outer sect who need to complete the tasks assigned by the sect in order to obtain the drudgery of the spiritual stones, which promotes the cultivation of the disciples of the inner sect to the greatest extent.
These advantages alone were not enough to make the disciples of the outer sect full of fiery jealousy, and the disciples of the inner sect would have a fighting competition every five years, and the winner would be rewarded with high-grade pills and high-level spiritual weapons. All of them are required by the disciples of the Three Immortal Sect to fight for it with their own strength.
The disciples of the Inner Sect are all ranked according to their strength, and they enjoy the corresponding treatment, and the stronger the strength, the better and more treatment and cultivation resources they can obtain. The ranking list of the Inner Sect is based on the results of the five-year fighting competition, and a small number of extremely outstanding disciples of the Inner Sect will have the opportunity to be favored by the elders of the sect and become disciples under the sect or in person. Therefore, during each session of the Inner Sect Ranking Fighting Competition, the competition between the disciples of the Inner Sect was very fierce.
Disciples of the Inner Sect can also change the ranking of the ranking list by means of guò challenges, and as long as the disciples who cross the challenge can defeat the challenged opponent, they are eligible to receive a qiē from the loser and replace the latter's ranking position.
However, things like this are not very common in the Inner Sect, and if the disciples who cross the level of challenge do not have a certain degree of certainty, they will not dare to challenge the top-ranked disciples of the Inner Sect lightly, because if the challenge fails, it will also have to pay a great price.
In a mountain peak palace in the mountain range where the Three Immortals Sect was located, several rays of light flew out, turning into various brilliant rays of light that swept through like meteors, and quickly disappeared into the peaks at the end of the sky. Sporadic laughter came from it, slowly echoing in the mountains and forests.
Most of the disciples of the Inner Sect are sword cultivators, and once the foundation is successfully built, the disciples all use the flying sword as a flying magic weapon. The flying sword flew at the fastest speed among all the magic weapons, and it had an advantage that other magic weapons could not match, and the vast majority of cultivators chose to use the flying sword to fly.
However, there are many disciples in the Inner Sect who cultivate the way of Dan Fu, and the magic weapons they use are also strange and have different shapes, which are very different from those of sword cultivators. Although it is said that sword cultivators are very powerful in the Inner Sect, whether they are cultivating the Fu Dao or the disciples of the Dan Dao, they are the more popular darlings in the Inner Sect. The number of these disciples is not very large, but because they specialize in one exercise and cultivation, they can exert a great influence.
The path of cultivating the truth is not a smooth and smooth road, it is full of countless dangers that are difficult to guess, and just a few heavenly tribulations that break through the bottleneck of cultivation have made the vast majority of cultivators talk about it. The stronger his own cultivation becomes, the more terrifying the cultivation tribulation he encounters. At this time, it showed the advantages of cultivating the way of the Dan Fu.
As long as the cultivator can arrange the defensive formation in advance when the Heavenly Tribulation is approaching, and use it to resist the power of the Heavenly Tribulation, it can play a good role in weakening the power of the Heavenly Tribulation. The defensive formations and talismans of the way of the talisman can help the cultivator resist a part of the heavenly tribulation, reduce the pressure of the tribulation process, and make the cultivator succeed in the tribulation.
If there is also an elixir to help, it will be even more foolproof. The effect of the elixir is of great help to the cultivator, and it is impossible for the cultivator to leave the elixir in his life. Whether it is cultivating to improve one's cultivation or dealing with urgent dangers, the effect of the elixir is very important.
When a cultivator experiences a tribulation, he will exhaust his mana by resisting the heavenly tribulation, and at this time, he will take an elixir that restores spiritual power, instantly recovers his mana, repairs the damage in his body, and greatly increases the success rate of the tribulation. After the tribulation, the cultivator's body will become very weak, and if he does not use some elixirs to strengthen the source in time, it will have a great impact on his future cultivation, and maybe he will stay in this realm in the future.
The disciples of the outer sect were only the way of the rune seal pill in the early stage of cultivation, and the primary rune seal and pill were not of much help to the cultivator.
However, the disciples of the Inner Sect are different. After cultivating the top-level exercises, they can learn more advanced runes and pills, and with the improvement of cultivation, the runes and pills cultivated by the disciples of the inner sect can play a greater role, which is very attractive to the other disciples of the inner sect.
This is also the reason why around every Inner Sect disciple who cultivates talismans and pills, there will be a large group of sword cultivators. Although their number is relatively small, their status in the Inner Sect is somewhat special, and they are highly sought after by other cultivators.
In a hidden cave mansion in the mountain range where the Three Immortals Sect is located, in normal times, the disciples of the Inner Sect do not dare to come here casually, and the white light is forbidden to shroud around the mountain peak where the cave is located, blocking the prying eyes of a qiqi. A figure outside the cave paused, and in a flash of light, it disappeared in an instant.
The halo stone on the wall of the cave exuded a soft light, reflecting the two people in the cave, an old man and a young man, and the old man sitting on the seat above had the cultivation of the god transformation period, wearing a dark gray robe, with an indifferent expression. Opposite him stood a young man in a black robe, but he only had the cultivation of the early stage of Jindan.
"Uncle Shi, how are things going?" asked the black-robed young man with a solemn expression, staring at the old man above.
"Hmph, nephew Li Xian, if it weren't for the kindness of your ancestors to me back then, the old man would not help you like this today. The old man snorted coldly and said lightly.
"Uncle Shi, have you succeeded?" the young man surnamed Li immediately said with a happy face when he heard this.
"Well, I've secretly swapped things around, and I'm sure no one can see the change. As long as he used that thing, with the cultivation in front of him, there was no chance of escaping at all. The old man nodded and said in a deep voice.
"Thank you, uncle! This time I can completely remove this stumbling block, and the little nephew will hopefully reach the top in the future. The young man surnamed Li bowed to the old man and said with joy.
"Alright, you go back first. Wait until things settle down, and then you come to me again, and don't attract the attention of others. The old man said in a calm tone.
In this way, the little nephew retired first. The young man surnamed Li did not dare to disobey the words of the old man in the cave, bowed down and bowed to leave, leaving the old man's cave.
"Sun Xiaofei, don't blame the old man for being ruthless, if you continue to grow, it will be a potential threat to everyone. Only the old man in the cave was in the cave, and some cold voices echoed for a long time.
Sun Xiaofei, the most outstanding and outstanding disciple of the Three Immortals Sect in the past hundred years. Refining the top exercises of the Three Immortal Sect, the sword way, the talisman seal, and the pill all have good cultivation, ranking at the top of the ranking list for many years, and there is a tendency to become the head of the Three Immortal Sect. Heaven is jealous of talents, and naturally there are many disciples of the Inner Sect who are jealous, but Sun Xiaofei's strong strength makes other disciples dare not go against him lightly.
A ray of light burst from afar, rushing into the dense forest of the mountain peak, revealing a figure in front of a steep mountain wall. Dressed in a slender green shirt, with a slightly pale face, revealing a bit of perseverance, and bright eyes are heroic, this young man is Sun Xiaofei.
I saw a law decision in his hand, and a burst of light rippled on the mountain wall, opening the prohibition of the cave behind the mountain wall. Sun Xiaofei flashed in, and the forbidden light outside the cave mansion flickered, instantly returning to its original state.
In the stone room of the cave mansion, Sun Xiaofei sat on the futon in the middle, his daily cultivation time was full, there was no diligent and hard cultivation, and there was no such achievement as he did today. Sun Xiaofei recalled that at the beginning, if it weren't for the rescue of his master, Master Lingguang, he would not have had the opportunity to enter the Three Immortals Sect to cultivate and embark on the path of cultivation. 、
After Sun Xiaofei entered the Three Immortals Sect, he did not disappoint the Venerable Lingguang, and his hard cultivation and innate comprehension made Sun Xiaofei outstanding among his peers. The Venerable Master of Lingguang is now in retreat, but Sun Xiaofei has already reached the peak of his cultivation in the Jindan stage, and is about to break through the difficulties and advance to the Yuan Infant stage.
"It's time to use that thing. Sun Xiaofei's hand flashed, and a quaint box sealed with spirit runes suddenly appeared. Sun Xiaofei opened his mouth to blow a breath of spiritual energy, and the spiritual rune on the box immediately fell off and was put into the storage artifact by him.
Sun Xiaofei opened the box, revealing a white bead that exuded vague aura fluctuations inside. This bead is called the Sealing Spirit Bead, and it is sealed with an extremely powerful pure spiritual power. This is a reward for Sun Xiaofei's victory in the competition, a treasure that can help cultivators break through the barriers and bottlenecks of cultivation. Now Sun Xiaofei just wants to use the pure spiritual power of the sealed spirit bead to impact the Yuan Infant Stage.
Under his careful control, the sealing spirit bead was suspended in front of him, Sun Xiaofei gently touched the sealing spirit bead with both hands, and then slowly injected the spiritual power into it, carefully observing the reaction of the sealing spirit bead.
Suddenly, a dazzling light erupted inside the sealing spirit bead, and many strange runes emerged from the sealing spirit bead, rotating around the sealing spirit bead, producing an extremely strong suction force in the depths of the bead, firmly fixing Sun Xiaofei's hands, making it difficult for him to shake off, and the spiritual power in his body was like a torrent of outbursts, all of which were absorbed by the beads.
"This is not a sealed spirit bead, this is a sealed magic bead! How is it possible" Sun Xiaofei said with wide eyes and horror. His heart was extremely shaken, but he couldn't stop the influx of spiritual power, and his hands were firmly fixed on the sealing bead. The Sealing Demon Bead is different from the Sealing Spirit Bead, what is sealed in the Sealing Spirit Bead is pure spiritual power without the slightest consciousness, which can be absorbed by the cultivator on his own. And what is sealed inside the sealing bead is the spiritual power that has not been completely refined, and these spiritual powers contain a trace of residual thoughts, which is very corrosive.
The Sealing Demon Bead produced an extremely destructive and corrosive spiritual power, and once triggered, it was like a surging torrent, all of which poured into Sun Xiaofei's body, wantonly destroying his body. With Sun Xiaofei's current cultivation, he couldn't resist the invasion of this kind of spiritual power at all, and endless violent spiritual power filled his body, and it looked faintly enlarged.
This change all happened in an instant, Sun Xiaofei was caught off guard at all, and in a moment, the violent spiritual power that poured into his body from the Sealing Demon Bead had already reached the limit that his body could bear. Then there was a loud bang, and there was a violent explosion in the cave, and Sun Xiaofei was torn to pieces. The entire stone room collapsed in an instant, and when Sun Xiaofei took his life, a wisp of the remaining primordial spirit just rushed from the heavenly spirit cover, and it was wrapped in a red light, and it disappeared in the violent and raging aura in a flash.
Sun Xiaofei vaguely remembered that this red light was from him, and it was a life-saving spiritual weapon that his teacher gave him before the retreat, called the reincarnation key. It is said that it can preserve the wearer's divine consciousness and the path of reincarnation.
