Chapter 5: The Dark Forest

Qi Xuansu couldn't help but think, if Yao Zu's plan succeeded, the Zhang family had no accidents, and each of the three realms got a "Heart of Immortal Stone", would the three realms really start a war as Yao Zu hoped? After all, Sandao is not a fool, will he really dance with Yao Zu's "command"?

After thinking about it carefully, Qi Xuansu felt that there was really such a possibility.

Because with the increase of contradictions and the deepening of differences, the tacit understanding and consensus between the three parties are disappearing sharply, in other words, the three roads lack the basis of mutual trust.

To put it bluntly, a chain of suspicion has formed between the three parties.

Even if one of the parties maintains its sanity and suppresses its ambitions, it cannot guarantee that the other two parties also maintain their sanity and suppress their ambitions, and even verbal guarantees cannot be fully believed, after all, Luoshui's oath is still vivid.

As the saying goes, the first strike is strong, and then the first strike suffers. If you don't do it, and others do, then you will suffer.

The best defense is to attack, even if you don't have the ambition to control the Daomen, just for your own safety, you have to do it.

What's more, there is such a big temptation in front of you, what if it happens?

As one of the three major forces, who doesn't have some ambitions?

Neither side can tell whether the other two parties will maintain a tacit understanding and stability first.

Neither side can tell whether the other two will attack earlier.

Neither side can give up their desire for the position of Great Leader.

Derived in this way, on the one hand, there is a suspicion that you cannot guarantee your own safety, and on the other hand, there is a huge gain after success, even if the heads of the three realms are all smart people, they will definitely go on the path of opposites, which is due to human nature.

This is also why Yao Zu's plan has not been revealed until today, not a coincidence, but because before the six generations of the Great Palm Sect, the three realms were not divided, there was quite a lot of tacit understanding and consensus, and there were even strong figures like the Five Generations of Great Masters pressed on it, so this chain of suspicion would not be established, and this plan would naturally not be established.

Therefore, the problem does not lie in the three "Hearts of Immortal Stones" at all, but in the contradictions and divisions within the Daomen, and these three "Hearts of Immortal Stones" at best only play a catalytic and promoting role. This is reminiscent of the saying that flies don't bite seamless eggs.

This brings us to a second question.

What was Yao Zu's motives?

It can't be just to watch "fireworks", right?

One is that Yao Zu can't see it, and the other is that this "firework" is too big, and the Daomen Ranking Patriarch can't kill Yao Zu in the sky?

Qi Xuansu still got too little information, and he really couldn't guess all of Yao Zu's motives, he could only guess from his own perspective.

If Qi Xuansu operated this matter from Yao Zu's point of view, then the purpose was nothing more than to seize power.

After all, Qi Xuansu is also pursuing this point, and with his current cultivation, he still can't comprehend any Heavenly Dao Dao.

However, the position of the Yao family happens to be the party, and it is also at the core of the three disputes, it is difficult to get out of the matter, it is impossible to be a yellow bird, and it is impossible to be a fisherman, so how to grab power?

It's just that the king is torn apart, so the Yao family is already now.

Qi Xuansu still couldn't figure it out.

More importantly, this plan is now deviated, and it can also be said to be a change, the Zhang family and the Yao family did not get the "Heart of the Immortal Stone", the Li family got it, and there was an originally irrelevant Qi Xuansu who also got it, and it was pushed to the forefront, and the original three-legged stand became a confrontation between the two camps.

What's even more suspicious is that the Great Palm Sect, which should have wavered or remained neutral, ended decisively and stood on Qi Xuansu's side, but the Yao family, who has always represented the Quanzhen Dao, stood on the ecological niche of the Great Palm Sect and began to sway from side to side, not so much riding on the wall as balancing.

In this way, it is a bit of a match with the yellow finch and fisherman guessed earlier.

Qi Xuansu had a kind of enlightenment.

From Yao Zu to Yao Yueyan, and then from Yao Yueyan to the current earth master Yao Ling, these people must be engaged in conspiracy, and it cannot be said that it is all a conspiracy, which is mixed with yang conspiracy, such as the speculation about the three "hearts of immortal stones", that is, yang conspiracy, even if you know it, you can't do it, because they are suspicious of each other.

So what role does the Zhang family play in this?

Although Qi Xuansu is the son-in-law of the Zhang family, Qi Xuansu does not believe that the Zhang family is so pure and harmless, just as the Heavenly Master is by no means as gentle and kind as it seems.

In Qi Xuansu's view, the Heavenly Master has comprehended the true meaning of Taishang Dao Ancestor's Tai Chi, and he is accustomed to overcoming rigidity with softness and taking advantage of the trend.

For a hundred years, the Zhang family has actually been relatively low-key, and the reason why people feel that they are not low-key is because the Zhang family is too large, a behemoth, even if he doesn't do anything, just sleeps on his stomach, and others can't turn a blind eye.

The really high-profile is the Li family, which is also their consistent style.

At the beginning of the Daomen, Xuan Sheng made a simple division of labor for the three Daos, Taiping Dao was in charge of the world, Quanzhen Dao was responsible for creation, and Zhengyi was responsible for ghosts and gods.

The effect is also revealed, the Taiping Dao in charge of the world wears a pair of pants with the Daxuan Imperial Court, and the Quanzhen Dao, who is responsible for the creation, has created the "Heart of the Immortal Stone", what are they doing together?

is working together to create a descendant of the gods.

Yan Tianshi personally stepped forward to protect the descendants of the immortals.

In the end, the descendants of the immortals succeeded in ascending to the throne and became the leaders of Zhengyi, which is today's Heavenly Master.

There is also a descendant of immortals, the sister of the Heavenly Master, Zhang Wuxian.

Is there a possibility that Zhang Wuxian is an idle man of the Heavenly Master? It was a play deliberately performed by the Heavenly Master, and even Zhang Wuxian himself was not completely clear about the truth.

This is not unfounded speculation. With the cultivation of the Heavenly Master, if you really want to kill someone, there is no saying that you can't kill it.

After Zhang Wuxian got out of trouble, he attached himself to the Daxuan court. Is there a possibility that at a critical moment, Zhang Wuxian will become the winner or loser in the battle between Zhang and Li?

It's also hard to say.

Shi Hengbo had been looking at Qi Xuansu quietly, and only then did he open his mouth to interrupt Qi Xuansu's thoughts: "Congratulations." ”

Qi Xuansu came back to his senses, and after thanking him, he looked at this Yao Zu disciple again.

Shi Hengbo didn't say anything, no feelings.

Qi Xuansu wanted to ask something, but after thinking about it, he still gave up.

Speaking of Qi Xuansu himself, he entered the pseudo-immortal stage this time, and the totem corresponding to the autopsy immortal finally rose to the ninth scale, and he was the first totem to ascend to the full.

This is the totem of Wu Peng, and Wu Peng is the great witch who represents the earth and controls the power of the earth.

The so-called power of the earth is the qi of the earth.

Therefore, Wu Peng is very good at setting up formations.

At the beginning, the enlightened six witches entered the Kunshan Cave Heaven's subordinate Cave Heaven Five Elements Cave Heaven to refine the elixir, and clashed with Lu Wu God, who guarded the Kunlun Cave Heaven, it was Wu Peng who presided over the arrangement of the formation, gathered the power of the six great witches, including Wu Yang, and other followers, with the Five Elements Cave Heaven as the big array, and blocked the Lu Wu God who was equivalent to the two tribulation immortals.

In the end, it was because of the infighting between the other five Great Witches and Wu Yang that Lu Wushen found a chance to break through the Great Array, which was not a crime of war.

If the Ancient Witch Sect had not been divided, and Wu Peng still stayed in the Lingshan Cave Heaven, arranging and presiding over various formations, I am afraid that it would be difficult for the Ancestral Heavenly Master to capture the Lingshan Cave Heaven.

As Qi Xuansu finally filled Wu Peng's totem, Qi Xuansu felt the power from Wu Peng.

Strictly speaking, it should be some tricks.

The skill of being able to control and fix the earth qi without using foreign objects, as well as the various formations from the ancient witch sect, were all infused into Qi Xuansu's consciousness by the totem.

This is somewhat similar to the Buddhist empowerment method, which eliminates the need for learning.

The advantage is that it can be effective immediately, and the disadvantage is that it loses all kinds of possibilities in the future, such as the Xuan Sheng's integration of various exercises, and even the creation of a method that points directly to the Heavenly Immortal Dao, which is not wanted.

However, Qi Xuansu was very satisfied, he didn't have the qualifications of Xuansheng, and it would be good to learn what his predecessors had left behind. If it weren't for these chances, he would be struggling to become a celestial now.

Among Wu Peng's many formations, there are three fundamental formations, of course, they are not the "three refining arrays" corresponding to the three major yin things, these three formations do not have clear names, this is also the tradition of the ancient witch religion, it can be seen from the names of the eleven witches, they are all single words, not as complicated as now.

Qi Xuansu temporarily took several names based on his characteristics or related deeds in the past.

The first is the Five Elements Great Array, which is the formation of the enlightened six witches in the Five Elements Cave Heaven to resist the Lu Wu God, with the earth as the center, connected by the earth qi, after the formation operates, the five elements are born together, and the circulation is endless.

Daomen also has a similar formation, at the beginning of the Five Elements Mountain, the Great Xuan Imperial Court put out such a large array, surrounded the entire Five Elements Mountain, blocked the space, Daomen can only pull out the formation little by little, otherwise the immortals in the pseudo-immortal stage will not be able to enter.

However, Wu Peng's Five Elements Great Array went further, and he didn't need so many formations, only five cores were enough. At that time, there was one more person in the Enlightened Six Witches, who could be used as a mobile force. Qi Xuansu calculated, if he reached the immortal stage, three three corpse incarnations, one soldier incarnation, plus the deity, there were just five people, and one person could form a formation.

The second is the Lingshan Great Array, which is the Great Array that guards the Lingshan Cave Heaven, the main role of this array is to continuously transform puppets within the scope of the formation, not only dead corpses, but also people with slightly lower realm cultivation, they may also be forcibly transformed, and the witch cult army will fight in the formation, and the more people will be beaten.

This is a bit in common with the "Three Refining Arrays", but it is not exactly the same.

Qi Xuansu vaguely remembered that he seemed to have seen it in the backtracking of the Lingshan Cave Heaven, it may be that there was a lack of professionals to preside over the formation, anyway, after the Ancestral Heavenly Master personally took action, the Ancient Witch Sect began to rout. For Qi Xuansu, it is useless for the time being, and if he leads the army himself, it may be of some use.

The third is the "Immortal Stone" large array, which is not used against the enemy, but a special formation used to refine the "Immortal Stone", or the second generation of "Immortal Stone" after the improvement of the Enlightened Six Witches. This means that Qi Xuansu can refine the "Immortal Stone" by himself like the Shamanic Witch King and Chen Shuhua.

The material is a big problem, though. This kind of "immortal stone" does not need to be filled with human life, nor can it use the flesh and blood of desolate beasts, it can only use various heavenly and earthly treasures produced in Kunlun Cave, Qi Xuansu does not have this permission.

If he can become the Great Sect Master, then there will be no hindrance.
