77. Finishing Steps (2)
However, as the saying goes, "if you don't die, you won't die", the strength of the Heavenly Corpse Dao is strong, and under normal circumstances, even Kunlun Mountain, which is at the top of the Nine Great Immortal Sects, is not willing to provoke it easily. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info but it just did something that caused public outrage, which made the world look sideways, and the whole world was the enemy, and even the Yin Shang Dynasty was not good at sheltering it.
What did it do? - Actually, it didn't do anything, it just wanted to do what Yongji had done again in its own fiefdom. To be precise: he wants to convert the entire population of a country under the control of his own sect into "raw materials" for practicing the way of ghouls.
Each of the nine major protector sects of the Yin Shang dynasty has its traditional control area, and basically one sect controls one or two vassal states. The so-called "immortals come out of the world", one of the most important resources for the continuation of the immortal sect: the disciples of the sect are usually selected in their own control area, and this habit has continued to this day.
The place controlled by the Heavenly Corpse Dao at that time was the present-day Bashu region, with many small countries such as Ba Kingdom, Shu Kingdom, Yelang Kingdom, and Shangyong Kingdom. Most of them are transformed from native villages and barbarian tribes, and they cannot be compared with the Lingxiu land of the Central Plains. In the eyes of the monks of the Heavenly Corpse Dao, the environment here is closed and the people are ignorant, and it is too difficult to find some good seedlings from it who have the talent of spiritual roots and can pass on the Great Dao of the Immortal Gate.
In addition, it is said that when the Yongqiu Hill was built, the Shang King Yongji once gave the Heavenly Corpse Dao some kind of promise. Moreover, in the process of assisting the Shang King to build a tomb, the Heavenly Corpse Dao also basically mastered the "core technology" in this regard. The master of the Immortal Dao Sect, the status of the Venerable is not slightly worse than that of the Mortal King, what you can do, why can't I do it with the Heavenly Corpse Dao Venerable?--It is estimated that the Heavenly Corpse Dao Sect Leader thought so at that time, but when he really wanted to implement it, he found that the situation was very different.
ββWith the lofty prestige of Taijia, the founder of Yin Shang and the first great monk throughout the ages, he wanted to bring all the people of the world to "that world" and was betrayed by his deputy and disciple Yin Yi. Not to mention turning all the realms of a country into the netherworld, and turning all the people in the country into zombies - this kind of crazy thing has to be done secretly even if Yongji does it. He was able to succeed not because of how high his prestige was, but because he did a good job of secrecy, and he was caught off guard all day.
With the lessons of the past, if you want to take this road in the future, there will be more people who pay attention. Although the Heavenly Corpse Dao Sect has also tried to keep it as secret as possible, within the Heavenly Corpse Dao, it is not that everyone does not treat mortals as human beings. Some disciples with good intentions and a sense of justice discovered this secret, and they first wanted to overturn this plan within the Heavenly Corpse Dao, but they couldn't succeed - I don't know how much bloody rain and cruel infighting were behind the result of this short sentence. In the end, the remaining opposition could no longer stop it on its own, and had to turn to external forces...... So after an extremely difficult escape and pursuit process, the last few survivors defected to Kunlun Mountain.
The plan of the Heavenly Corpse Dao was exposed, it had already had a civil strife before, and its strength was damaged to a certain extent, but as an immortal sect, it was still extremely powerful. However, the deadlier threat comes from the outside - it is no longer inviolable. The Kunlun faction, which found an opportunity, fully demonstrated what it means to be "strong in numbers": it widely posted heroic posts and contacted many immortal sects in the world, including Qishan, and only six of the nine major sects were moved. Together, they gathered a large number of people and horses, and launched an extremely rare sect conquest battle in the history of the immortal cultivation world.
And the Yin Shang Dynasty, which was originally the only one that could prevent this, did nothing - the Shang king at this time was Pan Geng, and in order to clean up the mess left by Yongji, he himself was a lawsuit, of course, it was impossible to support the Heavenly Corpse Dao in this matter. So the overall situation was decided: the Heavenly Corpse Dao used the destruction of its own sect to show a truth to many fellow Immortal Sects: even if it is a great sect of the Immortal Sect, it cannot do whatever it wants.
Since then, the order of the immortal cultivation world has indeed been much better, of course, this may be more because the battle of the gods that destroyed the Yin Shang Dynasty later led to the fall of too many immortals. But many people also regard the battle of the Heavenly Corpse Dao as a prelude to the battle of the gods: the Heavenly Corpse Dao is of course self-defeating, but the Xianmen do not need the permission of the Shang King to conquer the injustice, which is after all a violation of the rules set by Taijia back then - from then on, the Yin Shang Dynasty, which was originally respected as the lord of the world and should be in charge of all the power in the mortal world of the immortal world, lost its restraint on the major immortal gates, and gradually lost its power in the immortal cultivation world.
As for earthly power...... The disciples of the West Kunlun sect were born, and the originally inconspicuous Ji family also emerged in this battle, and gradually developed, and later in the middle and late stages of the Pangeng Dynasty, he was named one of the four princes of the world, Xibo Zhouhou, and finally invited out of the god list, which led to the war of the gods and destroyed the Yin Shang Dynasty.
Of course, these things have little to do with the theme of Chang Qingzi's story, Chang Qingzi said a lot, in fact, it was just to tell the five young people one thing: the origin of the Heavenly Master Hall of West Kunlun Mountain is that after the Heavenly Corpse Dao was exterminated, the major participating sects distributed the spoils. The Kunlun faction obtained a Feilaifeng Dojo that originally belonged to the Heavenly Corpse Dao Sect, as well as a small number of remnants of iron-armored corpse soldiers and a few silver-armored corpse generals, but compared to these material wealth, what was more precious was the large number of immortal Dao methods accumulated by the Heavenly Corpse Dao over the years, or the sect inheritance of the Heavenly Corpse Dao - this was the core foundation of an immortal cultivation sect.
These resources were handed over by Kunlun to the few monks who survived the civil strife in the Heavenly Corpse Dao and still had a righteous heart. They settled down on Kunlun Mountain and rearranged and summarized the remains of the Heavenly Corpse Dao. Eventually, these people merged with the Kunlun Sect's own miscellaneous monks who originally studied the way of ghouls and jointly founded the Kunlun Heavenly Corpse Hall. Because the word "Heavenly Corpse" was too scary, and it was afraid that spreading it would hinder Kunlun's reputation, it was pretended to be the Heavenly Master Hall - but it was only announced to the outside that its insiders were still under the name of "Heavenly Corpse Hall".
However, although the name retains some nostalgia for the ancient sect back then, the members of the Kunlun Heavenly Master Hall have firmly remembered the lessons of that year, and are extremely strict in the selection of materials for raising and refining corpses, no matter how difficult it is, they will never kill innocents indiscriminately. Only those who truly deserve their sins and die innocent will have their bodies used as raw materials for the Heavenly Master Hall to cultivate the way of ghouls after their deaths.
