Chapter 1: The Arrival of the Gods
It is the cold and freezing season, and a 10,000-year-old ancient pine still stands on the top of the purple cloud peak. In the huge tree hole as warm as spring, squatting a handsome boy in a green cloth shirt.
"It's been two years, and it's been two years since I went from being the first person among the three generations of disciples of the Xuanyuan Sect to being a waste among the three generations of disciples!"
"The word Bai Ling is no longer the pride of Xuanyuan Sect, and it is not even a shame, after all, a person who does not even have the strength of the Jiyuan Realm, a person who has been demoted to a miscellaneous disciple in the sect, is not qualified to shame Xuanyuan Sect at all. ”
Thinking back on what had happened in the past two years, Bai Ling's fists were clenched tightly, and a pair of ink-black eyes revealed a stoic that was completely inconsistent with his fifteen-year-old age.
From the three generations of disciples in the Xuanyuan Sect who were pinned on high hopes, and was personally included in the door wall by the head of the sect because of his Xuanyang spirit body qualifications, to the lowest miscellaneous disciple in the sect today, how much sourness and heartache can be imagined.
Falling from the peak to the endless deep valley, countless white eyes and shame were imposed on Bai Ling, even if he was an adult, I am afraid he might not be able to bear it, but he did it.
"If Xiao Xi'er hadn't taken more care of herself in the past two years, I'm afraid I wouldn't have survived at all. ”
With a long sigh of relief, a rare smile appeared on the corner of the young man's mouth, and he raised his eyes to look at the entrance of the tree hole two feet above, and many scenes from the past came to his mind.
At this time seven years ago, he Bai Ling was only a child of a family in the world, until he was taken to Xuanyuan Mountain by a long-eyebrow old Taoist who was respected as an immortal in the world, and finally set foot on the road of cultivating immortals.
It has to be mentioned here that the cultivation world is not accessible to individuals, and only those who are born with spirit bodies have the opportunity to set foot in the path of cultivating immortals.
In addition to the seven spirit bodies of gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, and thunder, there are still Xuanyang spirit bodies and Xuanyin spirit bodies that are rare among tens of millions of people!
And Bai Ling is one of the lucky ones, with the unparalleled Xuanyang spirit body talent, in just five years, Bai Ling has reached the fifth level of the base yuan realm with an astonishing cultivation speed, which is almost the miracle of the fastest cultivation progress in the history of the Xuanyuan Sect.
The realms in the cultivation realm are divided into a total of the Primal Realm, the Qiankun Realm, the Xuantian Realm, and the Dao Origin Realm, and each realm is subdivided into six levels, and the realm above the Dao Origin Realm is the Supreme Pseudo-Immortal!
It is rumored that once you cultivate to the Supreme Pseudo-Immortal Realm, you can fly to the Immortal Realm, but in the past thousand years, it is not said that you have ascended to the Immortal Realm, and looking at the four continents, there are very few monks who can set foot in the Dao Origin Realm.
Bai Ling reached the fifth level of the Foundation Yuan Realm at the age of thirteen, and this kind of cultivation speed can be said to be amazing, and the future is limitless.
Without any suspense, he became the first person in the huge Xuanyuan Sect, the first disciple of nearly 1,000 generations, and even had to teach the Xuanyuan Zhenren to enter the door wall, becoming his only personal disciple.
Bai Ling's peerless talent, even if he looks at the entire state, he can surpass the number of people on his right, but there are only a hundred, like Xuanyuan Sect, which only belongs to a medium-sized sect in the Dao Sect, and it is really a rare fortune to be able to discover such an amazing talent among the younger generation.
It is precisely because of this that Bai Ling's status in Xuanyuan Sect has risen, even if it is only higher than that of Mu Xitong, the granddaughter of Tong Xuanzhen.
Two years ago, Bai Ling seemed to be the successor of the next Xuanyuan Sect, although in terms of seniority, he was only the last three generations of the sect, but even the elders of the sect showed extreme politeness to him.
What's more, Bai Ling's peerless talent also shocked the Xuanyuan Sect to cultivate as the most powerful person, and the current master and uncle of the Xuanyuan Sect, Gu Zhenren who has been in retreat in the Xuanyuan Secret Pagoda for thirty years.
He personally gave Bai Ling a silver order that only the best of the second-generation disciples in the sect could obtain, which symbolized a good status and had many privileges in the sect.
Gu Zhenren even showed that if Bai Ling could break through to the Qiankun Realm before the age of eighteen, he would not hesitate to spend hundreds of years of cultivation to open the Xuanyuan Secret Tower for him, and let him choose a magic weapon treasured in the tower.
Everything is so beautiful, if it weren't for the experience of accidentally breaking into the "Great Extinction Silent Demon Array" two years ago, I believe that Bai Ling is still held by everyone in the Xuanyuan Sect like a jewel.
There is a Jedi in Xuanyuan Mountain, which is the place where the founding of Xuanyuan Sect has always been banned from the outside world, even if the masters of the past dynasties have not dared to cross half a step.
At that time, Bai Ling's young man's temperament was spoiled by the bigwigs in the sect again, and he had just cultivated to the fifth level of the Jiyuan Realm, because he had to teach Tongxuan Zhenren to pass on a general-level magic skill, and under the rise, he was bold enough to steal the secret key to open the Sealed Demon Valley, and broke into it alone.
The name of the Demon Valley was obtained more than 3,000 years ago, and it is rumored that it banned a peerless demon cultivator whose cultivation had already reached the supreme pseudo-immortal realm.
Back then, in order to ban this peerless demon, the five famous sects of the Taoist sect besieged him, and paid a painful price to ban this person, and set up the "Great Extinction Silent Demon Array", wanting to refine the demon, as for whether it was refined, it is unknown.
Because there is no way to break the formation in the "Great Extinction Silent Demon Array", once it is laid down, it will exist forever, which is also the key reason for the circle of the forbidden place of the Sealed Demon Valley.
Bai Ling paid a terrible price for his ignorance and recklessness, with his cultivation strength, he couldn't even set foot in the "Great Extinction Silent Demon Array", but the Xuanyin Demon Gang that was dense around the formation would not let him go.
By the time Bai Ling woke up from his coma, he had already been rescued back to the sect, but his cultivation was completely wasted because of the invasion of Xuanyin Demon Gang, and he lost the Xuanyang spirit body that he was proud of, and became an out-and-out waste.
The subsequent encounter is also conceivable, after confirming that Bai Ling has become a waste, he was first expelled from the door wall by the master of the Xuanyuan Sect, and the dignified Xuanyuan Sect is a single disciple who cannot be cultivated, and then he was demoted to a miscellaneous disciple, the scenery is not there, and all that is left for Bai Ling is countless humiliations and white eyes.
Sitting cross-legged in the hollow of the tree, Bai Ling ran the unripe "Xuanyuan Decision", repeating the same movements in the past two years.
"Empty dantian, no induction ......"
An hour later, Bai Ling gave up the useless act of refining qi, and at this moment it was almost dusk, Bai Ling climbed out of the tree hole a few times, stepped on the snow, and walked towards the wooden house in the back mountain.
Xuanyuan Mountain is more than 2,000 zhang high, in this harsh winter season, if there is no true yuan force to protect the body, ordinary people want to stay in such a cold climate for a long time, it can be said to be a very difficult thing.
After returning to his bloody and sweaty hut, which had been built after several setbacks, Bai Ling quickly lit a fire in the stone furnace, curled up his thin body, and leaned on the stove to keep warm.
"I really want to go home! Even if I just live the life of an ordinary person, I don't know how much better than my current life......" Even though the suffering of these two years has made Bai Ling have a perseverance that is completely inconsistent with his age, but in this cold night, it is understandable to be homesick.
Looking at the flames rising in the fireplace, when she was about to sleep, Bai Ling seemed to see her beautiful and incomprehensible mother touching her head lovingly in the flickering flames, and then she saw a tall and mighty father and mother standing together, chatting with herself cordially......
"Is the little master there?"
Just when Bai Ling was about to fall asleep, there was a sharp knock on the door.
"Little young master?" The memories that existed in his childhood memories instantly appeared in his mind, and Bai Ling got up with a "swish", and rushed to the door in three steps and two steps.
Opening the door of the house, in the midst of the heavy snow, an old man with gray hair, a thin layer of frost frozen on his clothes, and his face purple by the cold wind, was stamping his feet and arms around his arms, and a shivering old man was imprinted into Bai Ling's eyes.
"Old Butler......
Bai Ling rubbed his eyes vigorously, stunned, being able to see the old housekeeper in Xuanyuan Mountain was beyond Bai Ling's imagination.
"Little master, let's go in first. The old housekeeper shook off the snow and said tremblingly, which made Bai Ling realize how much damage the terrifying cold snap here would cause to an old man like the old housekeeper, who was already seventy.
After settling the old housekeeper and sitting by the fireplace, Bai Ling added a few more handfuls of firewood, and then asked in a slightly excited tone: "Old housekeeper, how did you come to Xuanyuan Mountain?"
As early as Bai Ling's memory, Li Bin was their Bai family's housekeeper, when he was at home as a child, Bai Ling liked to pester the old housekeeper to tell him stories, speaking of which, Li Bin was more like Bai Ling's relatives, and not just limited to the housekeeper's duties.
Before Bai Ling was led into the Xuanyuan Sect, he was the young master of the Bai family, one of the top ten families of the Great Sui Kingdom in Nanzhou, and his identity could also be called quite noble.
Since he was brought into the sect by the elder of Xuanyuan Sect when he was eight years old, Bai Ling has never seen his parents and family again, including Li Bin, the old housekeeper.
If it weren't for the tragedy two years ago, Bai Ling would have been able to go down the mountain to experience as long as he could cultivate to the sixth level of the Jiyuan Realm, and he would also be able to bring great benefits to the family by virtue of his status and identity as the leader of the three generations in the sect.
Since being invaded by demonic energy, losing the Xuanyang spirit body and becoming a waste, if Bai Ling and the others lose the opportunity to go down the mountain forever, the Xuanyuan Sect has strict rules, if you don't have the sixfold strength of the Jiyuan Realm, even if you die in the mountain gate, it will be impossible to let you go down the mountain.
After his stiff body warmed up a bit, the old housekeeper looked at his little master, and a line of turbid tears couldn't help but flow down, "Little master, at home...... Something happened to the family......"
Bai Ling's eyebrows couldn't help frowning tightly when she heard this, she suppressed the eagerness in her heart as much as possible, and said in a slow tone: "Uncle Li, you speak slowly......"
After the old housekeeper choked up and said a call, Bai Ling was already extremely angry, clenched his fist too tightly and pierced his palm, and the bright red blood dripped on the ground, which looked extremely dazzling under the firelight.
"My mother was banned, my father was seriously injured, life and death were unpredictable, and the emperor ordered the Bai family to be exiled to the wilderness......"
If it weren't for the experiences in the past two years that sharpened Bai Ling's mind to be extremely stoic, even if an adult suddenly heard such bad news, I am afraid that he would not be able to survive.
The old housekeeper was obviously shocked by Bai Ling's appearance at the moment, he could deeply feel the incomparable grief and indignation of his little master, but he never saw Bai Ling shed a single tear from beginning to end, and he didn't even have a facial expression.
It was a depth that did not correspond to his age at all, a depression that buried all his emotions deep in his heart!
