Chapter 1272: The Sect that Has Been Closed for Thousands of Years

Shi Lin is not a qualified salesman.

Several disciples of Xuantianzong only showed a little curiosity about the Thousand Miles Vividness in Shi Lin's hands.

However, after knowing that Qianli Visible was "only" used for remote communication, several people immediately lost interest.

In the world of cultivating Taoism, before Ye Zan came up with the transmission of sound and spirit for thousands of miles, monks were not completely without the ability of long-distance communication.

Messages such as paper cranes, flying swords, jade charms, etc., can all meet the needs of ascetics in long-distance communication to a certain extent.

What's more, Xuantianzong closed the mountain for tens of thousands of years, even if there is a secret realm or a small world, the "backward" means of long-distance communication are enough.

Therefore, the long-distance communication function of thousands of miles of vividness is really not attractive to the few people in Xuantianzong.

But in the face of such a "misunderstanding", Shi Lin didn't make any distinctions, and didn't introduce the many benefits of Qianli Vivid like a few people.

The only thing Shi Lin did was to turn off the image projected in mid-air in front of him, and silently put away Qianli Vivid.

Several disciples of Xuantianzong originally planned to take a closer look at what was written in the projection, but they didn't have to see it.

Therefore, seeing that Shi Lin turned off the projector and put away Qianli Vivid, although these few felt somewhat dissatisfied, they didn't have to worry about anything.

"You guys, please follow me up the mountain!" The leader of the Xuantian Sect greeted Wen Tongji in a deep voice, and then walked up the mountain.

Wen Tongji responded, but did not follow immediately, but turned his head to look at Shi Lin, and said with a friendly smile on his face, "Fellow Daoist Lin, shall we go together?"

Wen Tongji is not stupid. After seeing the attitude of Xuantianzong and the others, he no longer has much confidence in his identity as the "gatekeeper".

In fact, Xuantianzong's attitude towards the "gatekeeper" is not so incomprehensible.

Who knows if this "gatekeeper" is a descendant of his own people that Xuantianzong arranged outside, or obtained the son and mother Jin Chan through some other means?

Therefore, for the credit for "opening the door", Xuantianzong might just give you a couple of dates and dismiss it, or "show mercy" and include you in the door wall.

After making such a design and risking his life to enter the forbidden area, Wen Tongji wanted more than that.

Therefore, Wen Tongji hopes to "bind" with Shi Lin and others to increase his weight in the face of Xuantianzong.

After seeing the strength of Shi Lin and Ye Linglong, even though Wen Tongji didn't know the background of this group of people, he could basically guess that their background was not small.

Talking about hugging the thighs, of course it is not enough.

After all, Wen Tongji had calculated others in this matter.

Others were not counted because of their strength and luck, which does not mean that Wen Tongji's "crime" can also be ignored.

Wen Tongji knew in his heart that even if he really hugged Shi Lin and others' thighs, he would probably be kicked away in the end.

Therefore, even if Wen Tongji played a small game again, the main purpose was actually to make the people of Xuantianzong feel that the few people on his side were all in the same group.

Of course, Shi Lin is not an ignorant person, so how could he not see Wen Tongji's careful thinking.

"Hehe, friend Daoist Wen, please!" Shi Lin responded with a smile, but he didn't break Wen Tongji's mind.

Although, for Wen Tongji's calculations before, Shi Lin must have a grudge in his heart, and even wanted to settle the score.

However, in the face of Xuantianzong who doesn't know much, some things might as well be put aside.

Although Shi Lin's response did not clearly express any attitude, it was considered a reassurance for Wen Tongji.

Under the guidance of several disciples of Xuantianzong, Wen Tongji, Shi Lin and others walked up the mountain along the stone steps.

The winding stone steps lead to the mountain with twists and turns, and the scenery on the side of the road is not surprising, nothing more than wild flowers, green trees, mountain streams, strange rocks and so on.

A group of people walked halfway up the mountain and stepped into the real mountain gate, which can be regarded as a real step into Xuantianzong's dojo.

Entering from the gate, it is a relatively open "square". At this time, there are a few people who are obviously still in the Qi training state, practicing "huhahuha" in it.

There are actually disciples in the Qi Refining Realm!

This shows that Xuantianzong was obviously still cultivating newcomers during the period of hermitage and closure of the mountain.

This is not surprising, after all, from the beginning when they closed the mountain, they thought that one day they would reopen the mountain gate.

If, during these tens of thousands of years, Xuantianzong did not train newcomers.

By the time the mountain gate was reopened, those disciples below the primordial spirit would have died of old age. Would it be possible to let the Faxiang and the powerful people of the heaven-reaching realm teach the disciples how to refine qi?

It's not that it can't be done.

But this is definitely not the only reason for "training newcomers".

After all, closing the mountain in seclusion does not mean suspending the time of the entire sect, so some things should be done as usual.

Of course, the number of Xuantianzong's disciples seems a bit pitiful.

Even back then, when Yuqing Sect was still a third-rate sect, the number of disciples in this Qi Refining Realm far exceeded that of Xuantian Sect.

The leader of the Xuantian Sect, probably in order to protect the face of his own sect, even explained to Wen Tongji, Shi Lin and others: "I made some fellow Taoists laugh! To maintain orthodox inheritance, the threshold for preaching and teaching disciples has to be raised. Therefore, the number of disciples of this sect may not be comparable to those of the sects outside."

"Well, these few disciples of Guizong can indeed be called dragons and phoenixes among men." Wen Tongji quickly flattered him, and he didn't consider face at all in order to gain some favor from Xuantianzong.

But in fact, anyone with a discerning eye can actually see that these few Qi Refining Realm disciples who are studying hard are actually far from reaching the level of "genius".

Perhaps, it is still because of the closure of the mountain, no matter whether Xuantianzong has a secret realm or a small world, it still cannot compare with the "big world" in terms of talents.

Regardless of whether it is a secret realm or a small world, it cannot compare with the "big world" in terms of avenues.

Therefore, no matter how much you "take the fortune of heaven and earth", a weak foundation is a weak foundation after all.

At this time, the few disciples who were practicing also noticed the arrival of the crowd, so they all stopped to say hello to the Jindan masters of the sect.

"Okay, there's no need to be too polite, just wait and continue practicing!" The leader of the Xuantian Sect waved his hand and said to the disciples in the sect, without any intention of introducing the disciples behind him.

No matter what, they are just a few Qi Refining Realm disciples, and they are not qualified to know what happened today.

A group of people walked through the "square" and walked up the mountain for a while, from the "outer gate" to the "inner gate", and finally came to the main hall in the center of Xuantianzong Taoist center.

Everyone came this way, judging from the architecture of the dojo, the Xuantian Sect should have been a top sect back then.

But now, people here feel extremely deserted and desolate.

There are not many disciples in the Qi Refining Realm, and there are not many disciples in the Foundation Establishment Realm. The Golden Core Grandmaster seems to be the only one leading the way.

So, nothing in the world is perfect.

In order to avoid catastrophe, Xuantianzong insisted on closing the sect for tens of thousands of years, so how could it not pay some price.

"The head teacher and elders of my sect are waiting for you in the hall, and please come with me!" The leader of the Xuantian sect greeted Wen Tongji, Shi Lin and the others without making any special effort. Then go in and report, and then lead the people into the hall.

The head teacher and elders of Xuantianzong met Wen Tongji, Shi Lin and others in the main hall, obviously they valued them a lot.

This is normal, don't talk about "gatekeepers", if Xuantianzong people want to know the outside world, they must ask Wen Tongji and others.

If, just because of showing face to Wen Tongji and others, he got some wrong information, it would definitely not be a good thing for Xuantianzong.

Wen Tongji, Shi Lin and others walked into the gate of Xuantianzong's main hall under the guidance.

I saw that there were already six old men waiting in this hall.

The person who led the way has already said that the head teacher and elders of Xuantianzong received Wen Tongji, Shi Lin and others in this hall.

Then, the identities of these six old men are also obvious.

However, to the surprise of Wen Tongji, Shi Lin and others, the head teacher and several elders of Xuantianzong were only at the Nascent Soul Realm.

Wen Tongji is only at the Golden Core Realm, and may not be able to see the specific realms of the Xuantianzong high-ranking officials, but it is not difficult for Shi Lin to see this.

Moreover, just because Wen Tongji can't "see" it doesn't mean that there is no other way to feel it.

The simplest thing is that you can't see his cultivation, but you can't feel the terrible oppression.

Then, the opponent's realm strength is probably not much stronger than his own.

Wen Tongji couldn't use this method to deduce the realm strength of Shi Lin and the others because none of them were orthodox cultivators.

As for the kind of power that is so powerful that it "returns to nature" and looks completely like a mortal, it is actually possible to speculate.

When you see a mortal standing in a position that a mortal should not stand, there is a high probability that this mortal is not a mortal.

It is only the simplest and most basic method to judge the approximate realm of a target through fluctuations in mana.

"Reporting to the teacher, we have brought the person who broke the formation!" The leader of the Xuantian sect first stepped forward to salute the teacher and replied.

As for the other members of Xuantian Sect who greeted Wen Tongji, Shi Lin and others with the leader, they were all waiting outside the gate of the main hall at this time.

Moreover, those few people are not completely idle, they also have to take care of Ye Linglong's giant panda mount Tai Chi.

"Well, you step back!" The head teacher waved his hand, motioning the disciples to step aside, and turned their attention to Wen Tongji, Shi Lin and the others again.

"I'm Wen Tongji, a casual cultivator, and pay my respects to the head teacher of Xuantianzong!" Seeing the other party's gaze, Wen Tongji quickly took a step forward, and bowed to the headmaster of Xuantianzong.

Although, Wen Tongji could see that Xuantianzong's head teacher and elders were at most at the Nascent Soul Realm.

However, who can guarantee that Xuantianzong really only has this strength.

You must know that almost all the sects outside have a common habit, that is, most of the people with the highest level of cultivation will not take up the position of head teacher.

The reason is very simple. Those who can make extraordinary achievements in cultivation should naturally concentrate on their cultivation in order to make further progress.

As for the position of head teacher, it means being entangled in trivial and mundane affairs. Generally speaking, it is difficult to concentrate on practicing.

For example, when Ye Zan first came to Yuqingzong, Mo Ru was only an elder at the Nascent Soul Realm, and Wu Changsheng was only at the Golden Core Realm as the head teacher.

The Wuzhu Sect, the Golden Light Sect, and other sects are basically like this.

Based on this, it is speculated that Xuantianzong should at least be an elder with Yuanshen realm!

Wen Tongji has a son and a mother Jinchan in his hands, and he can only raise his strength to the level of Yuanshen. He really doesn't have much confidence to do things in Xuantianzong.

"Oh, Wen..." Hearing Wen Tongji's self-report, the head teacher of Xuantianzong pondered for a while, and said with some emotion: "So, the branch of our sect left outside will eventually lose its inheritance."

Xuantianzong's head teacher's words confirmed Wen Tongji's identity and took away the title of "gatekeeper" from Wen Tongji's head.

"This, senior, please forgive me. The son and mother golden toads are also handed down from the ancestors. No one knows what happened back then." Wen Tongji was a little frightened, and quickly bowed to Xuantianzong. The head teacher explained.

Xuantianzong branch broke the lineage, who knows why! Wen Tongji did not dare to take on this responsibility.

However, the head teacher of Xuantianzong didn't intend to pursue it. He waved his hand and said, "Fellow Daoists are serious! How many years have passed, and some things can no longer be pursued. Besides, if Fellow Daoists didn't open the big formation, where would our sect be?" There is still a chance to reopen the mountain gate!"

"Ah, haha, senior is the one who speaks seriously, and this one is just a chance meeting. I wanted to find a chance, but I didn't expect..." After hearing the words of Xuantianzong's head teacher, Wen Tongji breathed a sigh of relief, and said I feel refreshed.

Moreover, while being humble, Wen Tongji also expressed his needs, saying that he just wanted to find an opportunity.

Having said all these words, if the people of Xuantianzong still feel grateful, they should find a way to satisfy their benefactor's wish.

Sure enough, seeing that Wen Tongji made such a straightforward request, the head teacher of Xuantianzong said a few words more relaxed, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, fellow daoist, my sect has always rewarded you for your merits. Since you have contributed to my sect, fellow daoist , then of course you won’t disappoint Fellow Daoist.”

"Then I will thank senior first!" Wen Tongji also replied with a smile on his face.

Then, Xuantianzong's head teacher and elders turned their attention to Shi Lin and the others.

"Are these... fellow daoists, are you with this fellow daoist Wen?" Xuantianzong asked Shi Lin in a gentle tone.

The reason why he stuttered was because the head teacher of Xuantianzong saw Ye Linglong among the three and hesitated for a moment about how to call such a "child".
