Chapter 11: The Nine Elders

"Look, the patriarchs and elders are here......"

"That's the Seventh Elder and the Ninth Elder...... And the Eight Elders......"

"The first few times the first layer of the Illusory Realm was opened, only the Patriarch and the Nine Elders appeared, but this time there are two more Elders, it seems that they attach great importance to this time!"

“......”

Soon after, the buzz in the crowd increased dramatically.

Nie Kong couldn't help but look around, and then he saw more than a dozen figures on the bluestone road that he had just come. Walking in the front is an old man with a national character face who is about fifty years old, dressed in a purple robe, with long hair fluttering under his chin, quite a taste of fairy wind bones.

This person, Nie Kong, had seen it from afar a few times, and it was Nie Qingsong, the patriarch of the Nie family today.

Nie Kong's gaze crossed Nie Qingsong and glanced behind him. Followed by Nie Qingsong were three old men, the one on the far left with a baby face was none other than Ninth Elder Nie Xingdong. The old man on the right was short and stocky, and when he moved, he rolled like a ball of meat on the ground, and the man in the middle had white hair and a ruddy complexion, but he had a long horse face. They were the Seventh Elder Nie Xinghai and the Eighth Elder Nie Longshan, who was born in the side lineage.

All in all, Nie Kong had lived in the Nie family for eighteen years, but the only elders he had seen with his own eyes were Nie Xinghai, Nie Longshan, and Nie Xingdong.

Among the nine elders of the Nie family, Nie Xingdong, the ninth elder, was responsible for assisting the patriarch in handling family affairs, and his appearances were the most frequent; the seventh elder Nie Xinghai was also very active in coordinating and managing the family-run business and shop; and the eighth elder, Nie Longshan, often instructed the clansmen to cultivate on a regular basis. Of course, the people who are eligible for his guidance are basically spirit masters above the Spirit Melting Realm, and as for the cultivation of those teenagers, it is enough to have a spirit transformation master.

The other six elders, the sixth elder Nie Xingqiu is a woman, the fifth elder Nie Xingyun manages the Alchemy Hall, the fourth elder and the third elder are away all the year round, and the second elder is dedicated to studying the spirit pattern, all of them are characters who have never seen the beginning and the end of the dragon, Nie Kong has never seen it, and of course, his predecessor has never paid attention to these.

In the Nie family, the most mysterious person is the Great Elder. "Changtian Changxing, Qingfeng Cultivating Spirit", in this eight-character generation table, the Great Elder is a member of the Tianzi generation, his real name seems to be Nie Shengong, he has not appeared for decades, and has been hiding in a corner of Jiyang City in retreat, and it is rumored that he has reached the realm of Heavenly Spirit. As for whether this rumor is true or not, it is not something that a child like Nie Kong can know.

What made Nie Kong admire was that Nie Shengong was able to become the great elder of the Nie family for seventy or eighty years as a collateral person! He had secretly estimated that Nie Shengong was now at least one hundred and fifty years old. This age was very incredible in Nie Kong's previous life, but it was very common in the Heavenly Spirit Continent, and old men in their hundred-year-olds abounded, just like the second elder and the third elder of the elder generation, all of whom were outside the age of 100.

"I've seen the patriarch and the three elders. ”

Just when Nie Kong was thinking wildly, Nie Qingsong and the others had already walked in front of everyone. Hundreds of young men and girls bowed at the same time, and Nie Kong, who was standing upright, looked a little abrupt, but fortunately he reacted quickly enough, and quickly bent his waist down slightly.

Nie Qingsong waved his hand and made a silent gesture. Suddenly, there was silence outside the Hall of Life and Death, and all the commotion voices disappeared the moment he waved his hand, and the eyes of those young people, even the clansmen of the vassal family, looked at Nie Qingsong eagerly.

Nie Kong was secretly frightened, this Nie Qingsong looked like those Confucian scholars in ancient times in his previous life, he had neither a burly physique nor a high majesty, but he didn't need any words, he could command the whole clan with just one gesture, which showed his control over the Nie family.

Nie Kong could even assert that as long as Nie Qingsong said a word, the vast majority of the clansmen here could die for the family without hesitation.

"Crunch!"

At this time, Ninth Elder Nie Xingdong took a few steps forward, and his palms slammed into the tall hall door. Two intense yellow-brown spiritual power bursts out, and in an instant, the void seemed to violently ripple like ripples, and the heaven and earth spiritual power elements in all directions of the Hall of Life and Death began to churn and surge. The two tightly closed doors slowly opened a small gap under the gaze of tens of thousands of pairs of eyes.

The sound of fierce friction shook everyone's eardrums, and the crack in the door grew bigger and bigger. The hundreds of teenagers at the entrance of the hall, as well as the tens of thousands of clansmen hundreds of meters away, couldn't help but stand on tiptoe and stretch their necks to look into the hall of life and death, but what was imprinted in their eyes was a large area of dazzling white light.

Nie Xingdong's hair was all open, his baby face was flushed, his mouth suddenly shouted, the spiritual power of his palms became more and more intense, and at the same time, a powerful aura emanated from his body. For a moment, Nie Kong had a feeling that he was about to suffocate, and the speed at which the temple door moved to both sides was accelerating.

The crack in the door only expanded by about a meter, and Nie Xingdong flipped his sleeves and retracted his palms. That oppressive aura finally dissipated, Nie Kong exhaled, and he vaguely saw that when Nie Xingdong withdrew his hand, he gasped slightly, but he quickly adjusted.

I didn't expect that just opening the door so small would make Nie Xingdong, who was the Nine Grades of the Imperial Spirit, quite difficult, and looking at his appearance, it seemed that he had used all his strength. Nie Kong raised his eyes and looked at the two palace doors that were about fifteen meters high, more than ten meters wide, and one meter five thick, and his heart was amazed.

Nie Qingsong, the three elders, and more than a dozen other members of the Nie family entered the Hall of Life and Death in turn, leaving only the last two to organize the young man to enter the hall at the door. Those two Nie Kong were very familiar with each other, and they were none other than Nie Qingfeng and Nie Qinghong, the original guards of the Elixir Hall. They were originally punished to guard the door because they made mistakes, but they found the Nine Elders several times before they got the task of entering the "Life and Death Illusion Realm" to inspect this time, and they finally got out of the sea of suffering.

The young men entered the hall in rows, and when they crossed the threshold, Nie Kong looked at the looming dragon scale-like lines on the door, and suddenly realized that the material of this hall door was actually the hardest and heaviest dragon stone in the Heavenly Spirit Continent, and it was also a shame that the Nie family was able to find such two large pieces at the beginning.

In the hall, dozens of round stone pillars are towering, and the surface of the pillars is carved with various exquisite spiritual patterns. In the center of the hall, there is a cone-shaped thing that covers an area of dozens of square meters, like a stone is not a stone, like a jade is not a jade, but it is crystal transparent, the surface layer is also depicted with dense lines, hundreds of millions of white rays are diffused from the lines, and the hall of nearly 100 meters in length and width is reflected in a transparent and bright light, such as the day outside the hall.

All illusions have a carrier, and that stone-like thing is the carrier of the illusion of life and death. The first time he stepped into the mysterious forbidden land of the Nie family, Nie Kong was like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, her eyes were looking left and right, in this tall hall, he actually felt very small.

Around the illusion world, a large number of futons made of white jade are placed in a circle, and each futon has a small colorful stone resting on it, the color is gorgeous, the surface is smooth and round, only the size of a fist, they are the key items for the spirit master to enter the illusion world - phantom spirit stones!

Nie Qingfeng walked to the edge of the illusion realm, and shouted: "Sign up, take a seat-" The loud echo shook everyone's ears, and the seventh elder Nie Xinghai and the eighth elder Nie Longshan appeared at the door of the hall at some point, and at the same time used their spiritual power, only to hear a few crunching sounds, the two doors closed violently......
