Chapter 117: The Catastrophe of All Souls
Zhang and Huang listened to Dong Xiaoping's words and looked at each other speechlessly. If this matter was related to someone else's cultivation plan, it would be inconvenient for the two of them to obstruct it.
Seeing that the two of them didn't speak, Dong Xiaoping continued: "I have basically not been out of Qingbo Lake in these years, but I have deliberately checked a lot of books, and I also have a little understanding of the situation outside Qingbo Lake. I know that Senior Brother Zhang and Senior Sister Huang often go out on missions, so I came to ask you for advice. ”
"Senior brother, you're polite, we just have one or two more tasks than you. Huang Fenglan became more and more humble in the face of Dong Xiaoping.
Compared with before, Zhang Tianfan was also a little less arrogant, and said with a smile: "Although there are many dangers outside Qingbo Lake, it is not impossible to travel. Generally, only more people need to travel together, and everyone takes care of each other along the way, as long as there are no special circumstances, safety can still be guaranteed. ”
"I wonder if Senior Sister Huang and Senior Brother Zhang are willing to go out with me? Of course, I will give them a certain amount of honorarium as a thank you. ”
The two didn't expect Dong Xiaoping to invite them to accompany and give them an honorarium. Thinking that he had made such a generous move before, both of them were a little moved.
The expressions on the faces of Zhang and Huang from surprise to joy were fully seen by Dong Xiaoping, and seeing that they didn't answer, they didn't rush to ask, and stood aside leisurely and waited.
After a short period of thought and a few eye contacts, the two finally expressed their willingness to go out with Dong Xiaoping, but it would be a few more days, because they had to hand over the inspection tasks in their hands first, and then prepare some items to go out, and the most important thing was to participate in the five-year sealing conference in the door ten days later.
Dong Xiaoping was busy preparing for cultivation and going out these days, and although he knew that there was such a grand event inside the door, he didn't know that it would be held ten days later.
The Sealing Conference is held every five years, and as the name suggests, it is a grand event related to advancement, and it can be said that it is the most grand event of the Qingbo Gate.
Through this grand event, the Qingbo Sect will issue permission to break the realm to some disciples who have performed well.
That's right, in the Qingbo Sect, any disciple who wants to improve his realm needs to obtain permission from the sect in addition to having sufficient cultivation and resources.
Only monks who have obtained permission to break the realm can impact the realm, and disciples in the sect who have not been allowed to attack the realm without permission cannot impact the realm privately.
It is not easy to get a quota for Breaking Border, and there are many requirements that need to be met.
Dong Xiaoping has been in retreat for a long time, and some specific information and rules about this sealing conference are not very clear, and listening to the introduction of the two of them, the whole person is not good.
What kind of rules are broken? Isn't it true that the Immortal Cultivation Realm relies on its own abilities and strives to upgrade? Doesn't the various sects want the more high-level disciples as possible? Isn't it true that the more powerful the sect is, the stronger the sect will be?
Faced with his questions, Huang Fenglan told him the reason.
It all started with a catastrophe.
A long time ago, there were hundreds of sects on this continent, large and small, and although they inevitably fought with each other, they were controlled by the gods, and the whole was peaceful.
Until the death and death of the Divine Venerable disappeared, a catastrophe that lasted for a hundred years began, and the entire continent was devastated.
This catastrophe was caused by the Pan-Soul sect, so it was called the "Pan-Soul Catastrophe".
The Ten Thousand Souls Sect can be considered to be the predecessor of the Qingbo Gate. Qingbo Lake was also the central holy place of the Wanling Sect back then, but it was not called Qingbo Lake at that time, but Huawen Lake.
Lake Pattern is a very small lake named after the fish in the lake. For a long time, this lake was only a fishing ground for mortals.
Until one year, the lake suddenly changed.
Clear spring water is constantly emerging from the bottom of the lake, and the lake is growing larger and larger as it expands outward to generate aura.
In the decades that followed, it attracted tens of thousands of scattered cultivators to come here, gather and practice, and finally formed its own sect, named the Ten Thousand Souls School.
At that time, resources were abundant and prosperous.
It's just that not long after the official establishment of the Wanling Sect, the expansion of the Spirit Lake finally stopped.
With the fixation of the spiritual lake, the kundalini of this land is also basically fixed, but there are more and more cultivators who come to admire it, and their cultivation is getting higher and higher, and the more resources are needed.
Finally, the aura output of Qingbo Lake could not meet the normal cultivation of tens of thousands of monks.
Faced with limited resources, the Pansouls began a long period of division and infighting.
In order to expand their own power, all parties are desperately recruiting disciples, but the more people they have, the more resources they consume, and the more fierce the struggle becomes, entering a vicious circle.
The Flower Pattern Lake has been transformed from a sacred place of cultivation into a purgatory for monks, and in this dim battle for interests, it is full of blood and madness.
After more than a hundred years of fighting and slaughter, there were tens of thousands of monks in the heyday of Spirit Pattern Lake, and in the end, only more than seventy Young Saint Realm monks remained.
The weak and the strong eat the strong, the overlord is respected, the weak and incompetent are destined to be eliminated, and the spiritual realm monks no longer have a foothold.
For the Huawen Lake at this time, the low-level monks did not dare to step into it easily.
However, the infighting did not stop, but became more intense.
The resources needed by the Young Saint Realm monks are massive, and the more than seventy Young Saint Realm monks are still far more than the spiritual energy load of the Flower Pattern Lake, you must know that the spiritual lands of other major sects generally support a few Holy Realm monks.
Although the battle at this time was fierce, it didn't look as cruel as before, everyone was in the Young Saint Realm, and it was not easy to kill each other.
However, for a full fifty years, no one from the Ten Thousand Souls Sect was able to break through a small realm and reach the Upper Holy Realm.
All of them are locked in a deadlock of mutual restraint.
The news of the death of the Divine Venerable broke the deadlock.
A wise man in the Panlings sect proposed: The gods are dead, the order is no more, and it is better to unite with the outside than to fight within.
It turns out that every continent has a god who is entrenched.
The god is the first person in each continent, and is responsible for the order of the immortal cultivation world in this continent.
The old god is dead, and the new god has not yet been produced, and this vacancy is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Ten Thousand Souls Sect.
His proposal was accepted by all his fellow disciples, and thus began the battle of conquest of the Pansouls.
The monks of the Ten Thousand Souls Sect all stood out in the competition, attached great importance to actual combat, and had considerable combat experience, and had a great numerical advantage. Therefore, at that time, more than seventy holy cultivators of the Ten Thousand Souls Sect appeared on the battlefield, and they were like tigers coming out of the mountains, and they were unstoppable.
In the first battle, they killed a True Saint Realm cultivator, and their reputation became famous.
In the following years, they raided more than a dozen sects, large and small, and a large number of high-ranking monks were killed, and low-ranking monks were enslaved.
After fully experiencing the great benefits of plunder, this group of people also became more and more ambitious, and wanted to dominate the continent.
The Ten Thousand Souls Sect swept across the entire continent like a tornado, causing the cultivation realm of the entire continent to be bloody and full of complaints at that time. As a last resort, they began to organize a revolt.
At this point, two major camps have been formed on the entire continent: one is the Ten Thousand Souls Alliance with the Ten Thousand Souls Sect as the core and a large number of scattered cultivators as the periphery, and the other is the Anti-All Souls Alliance composed of various sects.
However, the Anti-All Souls Alliance was not good at fighting, lacked command, and was defeated repeatedly, and two-thirds of the entire continent was occupied by the All Souls Alliance.
Seeing that the Ten Thousand Souls Sect was about to dominate the continent, a loose cultivator named Liu Qingbo was born.
At that time, Liu Qingbo was a casual cultivator, and his cultivation was the pinnacle of the True Saint Realm, and he was only one step away from entering the Divine Realm.
Traditionally, every deity has to designate a successor before the fall of the world to help him break through the divine realm, and if there is no successor, the first person to break through the divine realm is honored.
Liu Qingbo was originally bent on impacting the Divine Realm, but seeing that the low-level monks were being oppressed by the Ten Thousand Souls Sect and were hesitating to the death, and the strong people in the True Saint Realm had no intention of controlling it in order to seize the throne, he stood up and gathered all the monks to resist the Ten Thousand Souls Sect, and was bound to fight for peace for this side of the world.
A group of low-level monks were originally living in fear and their future was confused, but now there are capable people who are the first to fight against evil cultivation, and they have all found vitality and gathered to respond.
Liu Qingbo is talented, very good at fighting, and proficient in command, leading everyone to win consecutive battles and regain many territories.
Xu was the outbreak of too long-term enduring it, or the desperate struggle, the Anti-Wanling Alliance had Liu Qingbo joining, changing the previous decline and starting a big counterattack.
The general trend of the Wanling Sect has gone, and the scattered cultivators who were forced to be helplessly attached to the Wanling Sect have surrendered one after another, and the anti-alliance is even more powerful, approaching the headquarters of the Wanling Sect.
In the end, Liu Qingbo fought against many holy cultivators of the Ten Thousand Souls Sect with the strength of one person, until all the holy cultivators of the Ten Thousand Souls Sect were killed.
The Cult of All Souls was disbanded.
This is the famous "Ten Thousand Souls Catastrophe" in the history of immortals.
After the catastrophe, Liu Qingbo's prestige soared, and he was elected by the alliance to accept the original territory and property of the Ten Thousand Souls Sect, and regarded him as the strongest candidate for the next generation of gods.
At that time, there were still eight True Saint Realm cultivators, and Liu Qingbo's cultivation was the highest.
Liu Qingbo established the Qingbo Gate in Huawen Lake, and devoted himself to impacting the divine realm.
However, Liu Qingbo was seriously injured during the battle, and at the last moment of the impact on the God Realm, he was injured and failed, and his life and death disappeared, and he lost the position of God.
Despite this, due to the foundation laid by Liu Qingbo, for the next thousands of years, the Qingbo Gate was the largest faction in the continent, and it was not until hundreds of years ago that it began to show a slight decline trend.
In view of the lessons of the Ten Thousand Souls Tribulation, after the appearance of the new god venerable, the rules were set, and there was a quota for the monks of each rank of each faction, which could be lacking, but not exceeded.
For example, the Qingbo Gate was allowed to have five Holy Realm monks, of which one was a True Saint, one was an Upper Saint, and three were a Young Saint. There are also restrictions on the spiritual mirror monks, there are about 100 in the true spirit realm and about 1,000 in the upper spirit realm.
There are tens of thousands of disciples in the Qingbo Sect, and this quota is certainly not enough.
This is still the specification of the big sect, and there will be a lot less of small sects.
Therefore, the Sealing Conference will be so valued, after all, the number of places is limited!
