Chapter 49: The Ghost Sect

In the boundless mortal world, there are five major regions, Fengshen Continent, Huangyue Continent, Lost Continent, Qingqing Continent, and Beibing Continent. Each region is vast and boundless, and few people can leave the continent they are in their lifetime.

One reason is that each regional continent is too vast, so large that it is unimaginable, and there are hundreds of millions of miles of unknown dangerous places between the two adjacent regional continents, which is also the reason why each continent cannot invade each other.

These unknown dangerous places are either lifeless barren lands, or endless primeval forests with miasma, or scorching deserts with high temperatures that can burn everything, or vast snowfields with extremely cold ice and thousands of miles. There are countless second- and third-level beasts in these dangerous places, and there are even fourth-level high-level wild beasts living deep in them. It is a pipe dream to want to cross two regional continents.

But nothing is absolute. There is a kind of people who still have the hope of crossing the regional continents, and that is the immortal cultivators, but they must be top immortal cultivators. When they reach the Nascent Soul stage, the Nascent Soul cultivators have the great magical power of moving rivers and filling the sea, but even so they are not absolutely sure, because the distance between the regional continents is too vast, and the unknown dangers are endless. The fourth-level prehistoric beasts are equal to the human Nascent Soul stage, and how many can one person defeat.

Since the ancient prehistoric period, the Desolate Moon Continent has had powerful people from the immortal world breaking through the void and spreading here one after another. For hundreds of millions of years, there have been many large and small sects, some of which have gradually grown and developed, and some have slowly disappeared in the long river of history. The big eat the small, the strong swallow the weak, and rise and fall.

On this Desolate Moon Continent, there are thousands of large and small sects, which can be roughly divided into second-rate sects, third-rate sects, second-rate sects, and first-rate sects.

The inferior and third-rate sects have hundreds of people, and the fewest have only two or three cats and dogs. The highest cultivation level is only one to two or three foundation-building cultivators, and even the entire sect is composed of only Qi Condensation cultivators.

Second-rate sects often have thousands or even tens of thousands of cultivators, and there are several or dozens of high-level Jindan cultivators in the sect. The cultivators of this kind of sect are often the sects with the most people in the world and the most important middle force in the world of immortal cultivation;

There are only four first-rate sects on this continent. They divide this continent into four major domains and share the fate of this continent. Whether it is the establishment and change of dynasties of mortals, or the division of resources and the division of sect levels in the world of immortal cultivation, they are all in charge of these four sects.

They are Taixuan Sect, Pure Land Sect, Shibuyuan, and Wuliang Sect.

Taixuan Sect believes in the Three Pure Ones of Taoism, Pure Land Sect incarnates the Arhat of Buddhism, Shibuyuan flies swords thousands of miles, and Wuliang Sect is good at driving poisonous insects and assassinating with open assassinations.

Each of the four major sects has several Yuanying old monsters who have practiced for thousands of years, dozens of high-level Jindan cultivators, and terrifying combat power. There are thousands of disciples in the foundation building and condensation stages, and the sect has a very deep foundation.

However, these major sects rarely walk on the earth. Perhaps they only flock out when strange treasures are born or when a catastrophe falls from the sky. Usually, they either practice in seclusion or explore unknown dangerous places to find opportunities and pursue the way to immortality.

In the west and central part of the Wild Moon Continent, the rolling mountains are covered with dense vegetation. The towering trees are lush and soaring into the sky, and the treetops cover the sky and the sun, layer upon layer, endless.

The Wuliang Sect, one of the four major sects, is located here. It is composed of five peaks in the shape of a "mountain", with four peaks side by side, two peaks on one side, and the last peak in the middle and back. The buildings on each peak are basically facing south and back to the north.

Each peak occupies a vast area and towers into the clouds. The two peaks on the west side are called "Xiaozhu Peak" and "Buli Peak"; the two peaks on the east side are called "Sixiang Peak" and "Lingchong Peak", and the peak in the middle at the back is called "Laojun Peak".

At this time, cranes and spirit birds on Laojun Peak are circling and flying from time to time, jade buildings, carved railings, pavilions, and flowing water are flowing in the mist, and the path is winding in between, leading to the place surrounded by clouds and mist.

In the huge palace on the top of Laojun Peak, more than a dozen people are talking in two rows.

A person at the top is sitting in the middle of the palace. This person is about seven feet tall, with long eyebrows and broad eyes, a white and solemn face, and a gleam in his eyes. He is about fifty years old, dressed as a Taoist priest, with black hair tied in a bun, the top bun is pinned with a jade hairpin, and a whisk is hung diagonally on his arm.

A dozen people sat in two rows below him. Some were tall, some were short, some were fat, some were thin, some were ugly, some were handsome, some were male and some were female. They all wore dark green long robes. When you look closely, you can see that the cuffs are embroidered with different golden patterns.

"Then let's do this for the five-year competition. We will give out the rewards to the top ten in the afternoon." The Taoist-dressed old man in the middle of the upper seat flicked his sleeves, picked up the whisk hanging diagonally on his other arm, and said.

The cuffs revealed a golden pattern embroidered in the shape of a tripod, but the tripod was a ferocious beast looking up at the sky, which made people feel that it was quite inconsistent with his Taoist appearance.

"Yes, Master," the people in the two rows below responded in unison.

"For the top ten this time, only four people from Junior Brother Wei's Xiaozhu Peak participated, and two of them won places. Compared with our disciples who often have dozens or hundreds of people participating, it is embarrassing."

At this time, a scholar with three long beards and about thirty years old smiled and said to the person opposite him. His face was as white as jade, his eyes were narrow and long, he wore a scholar's hat, and there was a golden snake-like thing embroidered on his sleeves, which looked like an open mouth with fangs. When his sleeves were rolled up, it was like a living thing wandering, with fangs opening and closing. This person was the scholar in blue clothes who issued a warrant to capture the military advisor some time ago.

The person he was looking at was sitting opposite him, at the bottom. The person was about seven feet tall, a little fat, wearing a scholar's scarf, a pair of pure and bright eyes under thick eyebrows, thick lips and no beard, and he was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, giving people a pure and harmonious aura. However, there was a piece of golden bamboo embroidered on his sleeves. At this time, his round face was looking at the scholar with a smile.

After the scholar finished speaking, some other people also nodded.

After hearing this, a beautiful woman in her forties smiled and said, "Brother Feng is right. My junior brother is always like this. How can I discipline all the disciples?" As she spoke, her beautiful eyes looked around, and her figure was full of charm. The dark green robe did not seem too big on her, but it made her figure more curvy. When she spoke, her figure was round and swayed lightly, and the white and smooth collar flashed from time to time, and her charm was scattered.

Seeing this, many people hurriedly lowered their heads or turned their heads, cursing in their hearts, "Dead witch, just talk, what kind of witchcraft is this."

The solemn old Taoist at the head was also a little embarrassed. His junior sister didn't care about the occasion, and she had to be charming as soon as she opened her mouth.

"I say, Junior Brother Wei, you are idle every day, and you just open your hands to accept disciples, but we have thousands of people on the peak." Another dark and sturdy man with a golden compass embroidered on his sleeve spoke.

"Brother Wei, if everyone behaves like you, there will be only a few cats and dogs left in my Wuliang Sect in a thousand years." A woman with a plain appearance but a look of frozen ice also spoke with a gloomy face. On her cuffs were embroidered two tiny insects hugging each other tightly, which was even weird.

Looking at the people below criticizing the fat young man, the solemn old Taoist at the top half closed his eyes and thought, "Brother Wei, this happens every time after the big or small competitions. Can't you take the initiative to take on the important responsibilities of the sect? You are the most idle among the brothers and sisters, and you don't ask about anything, but you make us tired to death. You also have a share in this sect." Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

After a discussion, some people spoke up, while others smiled and twirled their beards, or kept silent and squinted their eyes. When others called him Junior Brother Wei talked about him, he was not annoyed. When everyone finished talking, he smiled and said, "Haha, fellow senior brothers and elders, it has been more than 200 years since I became a pill, and you still hold on to me like this. I am the latest junior brother to join the sect, and I am lazy and can't be diligent no matter what. When the master gave Xiaozhu Peak to me, I refused to accept it, but he forced it on me. At the beginning, I also recruited disciples like the other four peaks, but in the end, they all joined your four peaks, leaving only a few people behind. I really don't know how to manage them." As he said this, he spread his hands.

"Didn't they send elders to help you manage it? In the end, even several elders were unwilling to go. You should at least ask about the elders sent. You and your wife have been in seclusion for more than ten or twenty years, and you don't ask anything. The elders also need to practice, and each of them has to have plans and arrangements for doing things, but you don't ask anything." Someone complained.

"Haha, I have handed over the affairs of Xiaozhu Peak to the eldest disciple. For these big competitions and ranking competitions, the candidates have to be selected from thousands or hundreds of miles away. Just thinking about all those people gives me a headache." Junior Brother Wei looked reluctant.

He paused, his face solemn, "By the way, Senior Brother Feng, I heard yesterday that the Law Enforcement Hall of the 'Spirit Insect Peak' brought back a person. Is it really the 'Dismembered Poison Body'? This is an extraordinary thing."

The scholar with a golden snake embroidered on his sleeves suddenly looked unhappy. This involved something that their mountain didn't want to mention. It had been like a thorn in their throat for the past few years. Although the traitor was dead, it was a big loss of face. It was the first time that the original skills were stolen since the sect was passed down.

The solemn old Taoist heard this and sighed in his heart, "This Wei

Junior brother, you changed the subject again. This lazy personality can't be helped." However, when he heard this, he turned his head to look at the scholar.

"Junior Brother Feng, yesterday we were busy with the competition, and we heard that the boy we brought back was dying and needed treatment, so we didn't ask any more questions. Is this true?"

The others saw that the head brother also started to ask other questions, and they knew that the matter of "Junior Brother Wei" had come to nothing again, so they all smiled and shook their heads. Just now, they were just idle talk. It has been more than 200 years, and Xiaozhu Peak would have changed a long time ago. Just now, they just wanted to scold this lazy and gentle little brother. Of course, the elders next to them were happy to see their brothers making a fuss. Cultivating immortals occasionally needs to tease like mortals.

They all looked at the scholar named Feng, who tapped his slender fingers on the armrest of the chair a few times, as if he was organizing his words.

"Lianshan has been defecting from the peak for 20 years. We have been sending people to hunt him down until last year when we found his whereabouts. He should have been looking for an opportunity after defecting from the peak and entered a cave where a Jindan-stage cultivator lived before. But Lianshan deserved it. He was injured by the cave protection formation and died outside the cave. His storage bag was also shattered, and the items inside were also destroyed and scattered, but no fragments of the sect's jade slips and books were found. Therefore, it is judged that the sect's skills are not damaged and may have been obtained by others.

In fact, if it is damaged or destroyed, the matter will end. Anyway, what we want is this person's life and the original whereabouts of the technique.

Later, after exploring the area around the cave, we learned from some casual practitioners that the technique might have been obtained by someone from the "Xunxian Lineage". I believe you all know about this kind of people from the "Xunxian Lineage". They have been pursuing the path to becoming immortals all their lives, and they dare to practice any immortal technique from any sect. Therefore, the Law Enforcement Hall started with the medicinal materials needed for the entry of the technique, and finally found that a military advisor in the border army, who was a million miles away, might have practiced the technique, and he had practiced it. At about the peak of the third level of Qi Condensation.

Because it involves some rules between us and mortals, the Law Enforcement Hall has to be cautious. After investigation, this person has also purchased some medicinal materials needed for entry, and he only appeared there six or seven years ago. In addition to his physical appearance and characteristics of his moves, it can be inferred that he is the one who got the skills from the "Xunxian Lineage". From his usual appearance, he forced himself to practice, which may be due to the lack of medicinal materials.

The reason why he came to the army again can also be seen from the fact that he accepted disciples in the army. It was said that he somehow got the Soul Absorbing Technique. He might have wanted to use it to remove the fire poison in his body, but his power was too low to find a suitable candidate. That’s why he looked for people with spiritual roots in the army. But this person was also very lucky. He found two mortals with spiritual roots one after another, and both of them had wood attributes. "

Speaking of this, he couldn’t help but sigh, "It takes a lot of effort for us to recruit a disciple from a mortal and find one person with spiritual roots. But he found them one after another. It’s really a great luck."

The others nodded when they heard this.
