"A long time ago, there was no saying in the world that there was a sect of cultivating immortals, and all mortals who had spiritual roots, karma, and accumulated merit for several lifetimes wanted to ascend to immortals, and they all relied on the degree of the immortal world.

Later, in the Heavenly Court, the first demon king was born, and then caused great strife and chaos, causing thousands of immortals to fall. Many of their remnant souls were reincarnated as humans, reborn as demons, and grew in the mortal world.

They are all people with great chances, born with their own spiritual roots. And many of the offspring they bred have inherited their spiritual bones and opportunities.

Later, the rules of heaven became more and more severe, and the number of golden immortals who violated the rules of heaven and were punished also increased significantly. They were relegated to the mortal world and reincarnated, and they went through hardships. Some of them were adopted by the Azure Academy after awakening, while others sank into the world, and they were confused for a lifetime. However, their spiritual roots will not die out, but will be scattered and passed on to their descendants.

In this way, there are more and more people in the world who have spiritual roots and spiritual bones, although everyone has different opportunities and good fortunes, and they may not all be able to cultivate into true immortals. However, in order to find and not miss such an opportunity, strengthen the strength of Heavenly Court. Several senior brothers of the Azure Academy decided to create a sect of cultivating immortals in the human world.

At first, there were only four sects, according to the Dao, Law, Xuan, and Tong of the senior brothers, the senior brother created the Xuanji Palace of Jiuhua Mountain, the second senior brother settled in the Drunken Sun Peak, the third senior brother selected Tianlu Mountain, and the fourth senior brother settled in the Qingming Peak.

At that time, the four brothers recruited disciples, as long as they had spiritual roots, whether they were human races, demon races, or even demon people, as long as they had a good heart, they could worship their disciples.

Later, the eldest disciples of the four brothers inherited the master's order and went down the mountain to create a new sect. This gave rise to the later Baiyun Temple, Wangtian Pavilion and Maisendai. For a time, the seven major schools were full of talents and prosperous. ”

Zhou Zheng muttered in his heart, no! It should be eight! Where else did it go? How come I've never heard of it myself?

As if seeing Zhou Zheng's doubts, Fahua smiled bitterly and sighed.

"I know what you're thinking. And one more! Alas, the bad is bad in this last one.

This disciple's name is Ao Jie, and he is the second senior brother, that is, the eldest disciple of our Drunken Sun Peak ancestor. He was unruly, defied all rules, and cultivated to a very high level, the highest among their brothers.

He founded a sect in a place surrounded by water and full of plum forests, and established Meihuawu. Because he is bold, chivalrous and famous, and teaches according to his aptitude, he is approachable, and has a large number of disciples, once surpassing Jiuhua Mountain and becoming the head of the eight factions.

However, the good times were short-lived. He actually fell in love with a 10,000-year-old plum blossom essence, and this plum blossom essence was still a disciple of his disciples.

The master marries a disciple, and the human race marries the demon clan, which was not allowed at that time, and was regarded as a great rebellion and against heaven! Not only his elders, but even his brothers and sisters were strongly opposed! However, he was unmoved, not only married, but also married in a huge and powerful manner, and announced it to the world.

Because of this, the other seven sects had a rift with him and almost cut off contact with his sect.

And that's not all. One of his disciples was a person from the Demon Dao, and in a dispute with a disciple of the Blue Immortal Peak, he killed the other party by mistake. The seven major factions will definitely not let go of this matter.

Although everyone does not prohibit people in the Demon Dao from joining their respective sects, the sect guards all disciples of the Demon Dao very strictly, and the punishment is more severe than that of other disciples.

This kind of thing can be big or small for other disciples, and the most powerful thing is to abolish cultivation and drive back to the mortal world. However, for demonic disciples, this kind of thing is an unforgivable sin, and the body must be cut off in the flesh, and the soul must be destroyed.

The Seven Great Sects came to arrest people, but Aojie let his disciples beat the people of the Seven Great Sects away on the spot, and put down the cruel words, his disciples are in charge of themselves, and others are not qualified!

At this moment, he is tantamount to offending all the seven major sects! Moreover, there is not even a little room for maneuvering.

The seven major factions decided to join forces to denounce Meihuawu. However, our ancestor tried his best to disagree with the public, saying that although Aojie was strong, he was a pure-hearted, fair and righteous person, and he would definitely deal with the murderous disciple properly.

Sure enough, that demon disciple was abolished by Aojie and driven back to the mortal world. After all, the people of the Seven Great Sects also remembered the friendship of the same sect before, so this matter did not continue to be investigated. However, the gap between the disciples of the two sides has become bigger and bigger over time.

After that, for many years, the seven major factions paid more and more attention to the cultivation of Terran cultivators, and the disciples recruited became more and more single, and finally only recruited Terran disciples. And the demon clan, spirits, and demon disciples are no longer recruited.

However, Meihuawu has not changed its original intention as always, and recruits disciples regardless of their background. As long as the person who comes has spiritual roots and is dedicated to the Tao, the door of Meihuawu will always be open! With the passage of time, Meihuawu has slowly become a sacred place for the demon clan and the demon clan to cultivate immortals, and the disciples of the human race are getting fewer and fewer. In this way, Meihuawu is incompatible with the seven major factions and has become completely different.

Alas! Actually, this pattern is also very good. If the human race wants to enter the immortal realm, they can work hard to cultivate in the seven major sects. The demon clan and the demon clan want to enter the fairy world, and the plum blossom dock is equivalent to giving them an exit. If this is the case all the time, it would be nice for everyone to be safe! ”

Fahua sighed and continued.

"After a thousand years, most of the heads of the older generation have ascended to immortals, and many of the first and second generation disciples who have connected Ren have also achieved success. Those who have not ascended have also been solved in order to accumulate greater karma in the next life and become immortals.

In this way, after the replacement of eight or nine heads, some sects have the most changes through seventeen heads. The friendship between the eight sects has long been gone, and what everyone values more to each other is the entanglement of interests.

As a unique plum blossom dock, the Tao is different and does not conspire with each other, and naturally becomes the dissident and even enemy of the seven major sects. The friction between the two sides is frequent because of the land resources, and the resentment and anger are getting stronger and stronger! The occurrence of large-scale battles has basically become a fact of the arrow!

Seven hundred years ago, the only son of the head of Tianlu Mountain met a girl during a trip, and the two formed a deep affection in their relationship. This boy is not a girl who does not marry, and that girl is not a boy who does not marry! The two of you are willing and affectionate, and the love is deep.

This would have been a good thing. However, the girl's father was the descendant of Aojie, that is, the head of Meihuawu at that time. The girl's father was very pleased with the girl's move to dare to love and hate, and to make his own decisions about his own marriage, not only did not object, but also strongly supported it.

However, the boy's father, the head of Tianlu Mountain, strongly opposed it, and threatened that if the boy dared to marry the girl, he would sever the father-son relationship with the boy, and kill the two of them together!

The boy was angry and secretly ran away from home. and made an appointment with the girl, and the two eloped together, living a leisurely life.

However, the sky is unpredictable. The boy eventually died, in their secluded hut. Moreover, the girl is nowhere to be seen, and there is no life, no death, no corpse.

This incident aroused the anger of the head of Tianlu Mountain, and he insisted that it was Meihuawu who designed to kill his only son.

And Meihuawu was also very annoyed, claiming that Tianlu Mountain forced his son-in-law to death, and also captured his daughter, and he had to be released.

If you don't agree on a word, the two sides will fight!

After all, the seven major factions are united in the same spirit, so stand up and support Tianlu Mountain. The demons and demons are grateful for the goodness of Meihuawu, and they have no hesitation to join the Meihuawu side.

What was originally just a small-scale battle between the two factions turned into a full-scale war between the human race, the demon race, and the demon race.

And this war eventually led to the tragic battle of immortals and demons! Meihuawu was also wiped out in one fell swoop in that war, and the chickens and dogs killed by the Golden Immortals and the Seven Great Factions were left behind and no grass was born. ”

"Who the hell killed that boy? What about the girl? No one has found her? ”

Zhou Zheng was surprised. How could such a big war happen without everything being figured out?

"Nope! In fact, at that time, what everyone valued was not the truth! It's just a reason to go to war. ”

"Master, do you mean that it is possible that it is a killer under the other six sects? In order to provoke the battle between Tianlu Mountain and Meihuawu? ”

"It may also be the hand of the head of Tianlu Mountain or Meihuawu! Child, you are too young to fully appreciate the dangers of the world! Perhaps, when you become the head of the house, holding tens of thousands of lives and deaths in your hands, you will also do something against your conscience! You slowly experience this. I continued.

That is, in that war, although Meihuawu was completely wiped out in the end, but the seven major sects also suffered heavy casualties, and there was not one out of ten disciples.

I remember that at that time, I was not as old as you are now, and my cultivation had just broken through the Heavenly Rank. In the face of such a brutal war, people are almost stupid. My brothers and sisters died to protect us, and I am one of the few survivors of Drunken Sun Peak.

Before he died, Master passed on the position of head to me. And tell me that they are all wrong! The Seven Great Sects and Plum Blossom Dock have all been used!

He asked me to rebuild Zuiri Peak and claim to be the first generation of leaders. He wants me to break with the previous Drunken Sun Peak. He said that that was the biggest shame of Drunken Sun Peak! He's sorry for the ancestors! He wants me to swear an oath to find out the truth and avenge the dead disciples of Drunken Sun Peak! Avenge the Seven Great Sects!

I didn't dare to disobey my master's wishes, so when I collected Yichen and Yifan as disciples, I regarded them as a generation of disciples of Zuiri Peak. I don't know if the other sects also followed the last words of their respective division commanders. Anyway, even from the head of our generation, the disciples we accept are all counted from the first generation.

I have spent hundreds of years searching for clues to the great war, and I have studied the art of divination, hoping to get a glimpse of the truth. It's a pity that until now, I haven't been able to find any useful clues, and I have no shame to face Master after I die!

Yifan, Zhou Zheng! The truth of the battle between immortals and demons, you must find out! That's the only thing I ask of you! ”

"Yes! Disciples obey the orders of the master (ancestor)! ”

"A few days ago, I used my few longevity to recalculate the fate of that girl, and I found that although she had long since died, she had children left in the world. It's just that I can't pinpoint exactly where her children are. ”

"It's like looking for a needle in a haystack! However, don't worry, Master, after all, I still have the Law and Punishment Department behind me, and I will use my advantages to find that girl's offspring! ”

"Good! You can go to the original site of the plum blossom dock to find it, maybe you will get something. ”

"Where's that place?"

"Now, it has a resounding name, known as the Land of Silence!"

Zhou Zheng was taken aback! He didn't expect that the place of annihilation, one of the largest gathering places of the demon race, turned out to be the original Plum Blossom Dock!

"Whether they can find them or not, whether they know what happened back then or not, there is finally some hope! I'll leave it to you! ”

"The disciple will definitely live up to the trust of the master!"

"Back then, because my foundation was damaged in the Great War, my cultivation could not be greatly improved. I have always relied on the elixir left by my master to maintain my longevity.

Moreover, after that great war, the aura between heaven and earth was chaotic and thin, and it was not suitable for cultivation at all. After a few hundred years of recuperation, the heavens and the earth returned to calm and gradually became full of life again.

However, the elixir left by the master is too small, and my fellow disciples and brothers have left me one by one, and I am left with a lonely ghost in the huge Drunken Sun Peak! At that time, not to mention the Drunken Sun Peak, even the seven major sects, all of them were withered, except for a few heads of our elder brother and a few elders, the number of people in the entire human race immortal cultivation world was less than ten!

It was at that time that we decided to start accepting disciples and enriching the mountain gate. Yichen and Yifan were the first batch of disciples at that time. After more than 300 years of hard work, Zuiri Peak has finally caught up with the scale of the ancestor when he was alive. However, everyone's overall cultivation is a big difference!

You must know that at that time, there were dozens of immortal-level cultivators in each sect, and there were even tens of thousands of heaven-level cultivators!

Yifan, Zhou Zheng, whether we can recreate the glorious scenery of the past depends on you! ”

The two said yes again and again, and suddenly felt a huge pressure.

"Master, the disciple has something to ask for. Why is it so difficult to break through the immortal rank now? My master, my uncle, and the head of the Dao Heart, Elder Xuantong, they are all one in a million people in terms of qualifications and understanding, and I don't think they are worse than the ancestors. Why would they be trapped at the peak of the Heavenly Rank for a hundred years but unable to step into the Immortal Rank? ”

Zhou Zheng wanted to know about it. Although he had someone to help him enter the immortal level, on the whole, he felt that it was not as difficult as Yichen and Su Xi's two masters said. It's hard, but it's not like there's no way out!

However, Master Yichen had been trapped at the peak of the Heavenly Rank for a hundred years, Yuan Huo, Xue Jiu, and Xin Si were immortal steps that relied on magic crystals to enter, while Master Ancestor Fahua and Dao Ruins relied on Lan Bing's immortal power. Tongzhen and Xuanyu don't know if they have any adventures? But the two of them have been trapped on the first and second floors of the immortal ladder for a hundred and ten years, but they have not moved forward an inch, no matter how you look at it, it feels incredible! On the other hand, in the demon world, it is a handful of immortal level cultivators! There are also three immortal level nine-layer Great Perfection demon masters!

This phenomenon is a bit too abnormal!

Zhou Zheng's words sounded a little stinging at first, but for Yifan, aside from the problem of face, he also wanted to know the reason.

He used to comfort himself with his lack of understanding and shallow immortality, but now when he heard Zhou Zheng ask such a question, he couldn't help but be suspicious.

"This question has also puzzled me for hundreds of years. You're quite right. I admit that my master, my brothers and sisters are very good. However, Yichen and Yifan's qualifications are indeed not weaker than theirs, and I believe in my vision! Senior brothers and sisters, after they entered the peak of the Heavenly Rank, most of them were less than a hundred years, and at least forty or fifty years, and they could basically step into the Immortal Rank. Moreover, there are many people who quickly enter the fourth and fifth layers of the immortal level.

Although my foundation is damaged, after entering the immortal level, the damage has been repaired. Supposedly, it should be able to break through to a higher level of cultivation. However, all my life, I am only a three-level Great Perfection, and further up, I feel that I have insufficient strength!

I don't understand this part either. In the past, I always attributed the reason why heaven and earth had just recovered and my spiritual power was unstable. But back then, when I was promoted to the Immortal Rank, I always felt that there was a powerful invisible barrier that straddled before the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Rank. That barrier is not simply cultivated, but more like, like a deliberately set up barrier. Yifan, you can talk about it, you should feel this feeling the deepest. ”

"Yes! Before, I had never thought about this aspect, so I always felt that I didn't have enough understanding, and I always lacked a little bit of heat. However, if you think about it carefully, it is indeed as Master said. It seems that there is a layer of something blocking the heavens and the earth, and no matter how well prepared people are, they can't effectively communicate the catastrophe of promotion. ”
