Chapter 1486: The Ceremony of Recruiting Disciples (Part 1)
In the Sky Fairy City, Gu Lianhun found an inn and rented a guest room in a detached courtyard. After setting up layers of soundproofing, the two sat down in the room.
"I'm afraid it's going to be a big trouble this time." Gu Lianhun sighed softly and said.
"The Saint Ancestor Kuishui seems to want Xiao Lin to be a lobbyist to persuade the Great Spiritual Lord to join them, but this matter is a bit nonsense. Not to mention that the Great Spiritual Lord is unlikely to participate in their plan, and it is not easy for Xiao Lin to go and lobby for such a thing. After all, if the wrong choice is made, it is likely to bring immeasurable passive losses to the human race."
"What Gu said is not this. The Saint Ancestor Kuishui actually told us their plot, which has doomed us to danger. After all, this matter is still in the planning stage. The Saint Ancestors of the Three Demons and the Saint Ancestor Fei Lian may not have known about it. Once they let us go, wouldn't there be a possibility of information leakage?"
"Gu Gu means that we are now There is no other choice, either join or be silenced? "
"Hehe, it is not that easy for the Saint Ancestor Kuishui to silence me. Since I became a Sanxian, I have been very low-key, playing with life, and rarely quarreling with others. But if I am really pushed to the limit, even if I am not inferior to the old woman Kuishui, I am still confident that I can sink her Sky Fairy City to the bottom of the sea."
Xiao Lin was stunned and could not adapt to it for a while. It turned out that Gu Lianhun was so domineering. However, he changed his mind and thought that the cynical old boy in front of him was a Sanxian of the third level. The magical power of Sanxian of the third level was already above that of a Mahayana cultivator, and was only slightly inferior to the Saint Ancestor Lingzun.
If he was really pushed to the limit, he would indeed have the power to destroy most of the Fenshui Palace.
"The Saint Ancestor Kuishui has a hidden injury now, so I don't think he will do such an unwise thing, right? Unless this matter is not planned by him alone, but there is a more powerful existence behind him."
"Brother, you are smart, and I think so too. Among the three forces, the only one who can confront the Saint Ancestor Feilian head-on is the Great Spirit of Zhuohe. The reason why the Saint Ancestor Kuishui has such confidence must be that he has already connected with the Great Spirit of Zhuohe. The four domains of the demon race have been split for a long time. There have been signs, but I didn't expect that it has reached an irreversible point. It seems that this Xinghai area will soon become a place of right and wrong." When saying this, Gu Lianhun's eyes rolled around, as if he was thinking about where he should go to avoid disaster if there is a big chaos here.
Hearing the Great Spirit of Zhuohe, Xiao Lin was also secretly shocked. Now it seems that the demon race, the demon domain, and the witch lich ancestor who dominates the south have gradually formed two forces, and a turmoil seems to be inevitable.
Xiao Lin also knew the horror of this large-scale clan war in the world of immortal cultivation, and was also thinking about whether to return to the Mitian Palace in the Northern Sky Region first. With the Good Fortune Refining Tribulation Pill in his hand, the probability of breaking through the bottleneck of the middle stage of the Tribulation Crossing has increased by at least half. If he retreats for a thousand years, combined with enough elixirs to improve his cultivation, he really has the hope of breaking through to the middle stage of the Tribulation Crossing.
"Brother, don't think about returning to the Northern Sky Region for now. Now that we know so much, I'm afraid that the Sunflower Water Saint Ancestor will not let us leave so smoothly. After the disciple-taking ceremony in a few days, let's wait and see what happens?"
"Brother, now that we have obtained the essence of Sunflower Water, we have achieved our goal. Why don't we leave the Sky Fairy City and not attend the disciple-taking ceremony?" Xiao Lin suddenly said.
Gu Lianhun smiled bitterly when he heard this. He waved his sleeves and a large piece of golden light gathered to form a golden light curtain. Two white clouds appeared on the light curtain. The two white clouds were not in the same place. From the surrounding scenery, Xiao Lin could roughly judge that the two white clouds were outside the east and west gates of the Sky Fairy City, and there were only these two fairy cities in the Sky Fairy City.
Xiao Lin's heart sank and he immediately understood.
"Gu Shuixia?" Xiao Lin saw a woman sitting cross-legged on one of the white clouds. It was Gu Shuixia, the left generation palace master.
"That person is Lian Ciqing, the right generation palace master of Fenshui Palace. Lian Ciqing and Gu Shuixia are known as the Qingxia Twin Saints. They are also the left and right arms of the Kuishui Saint Ancestor. Obviously, they have made preparations. Once we choose to leave, they will definitely stop us." Gu Lianhun said in a deep voice.
Xiao Lin's face also turned gloomy. He never expected that just a ceremony of accepting disciples would cause so many twists and turns.
But Xiao Lin didn't understand. If the Saint Ancestor of Kuishui really wanted him to be a lobbyist and persuade his elder brother Huan Tianmou to support their side, there was no need to make such a big fuss.
"What's more, aren't you curious about the identity of the disciple that the old woman of Kuishui is about to recruit? From the words of the old woman, I can hear that the disciple she recruited seems to be related to you, brother?"
Xiao Lin naturally thought of Luan Ling again. Among the people he knew, it seemed that only Luan Ling met all the conditions, but there was one thing, that is, Luan Ling was originally a demon clan, but the Saint Ancestor of Kuishui said that the disciple he was about to recruit was not a demon clan member, which also made Xiao Lin rule out Luan Ling.
But apart from Luan Ling, there seemed to be no such person around him who had a close relationship with him, practiced the innate fire system, and had the blood of immortals.
Xiao Lin told Gu Lianhun his doubts, and Gu Lianhun was also full of confusion after listening.
"Kuishui, this old woman, is really thoughtful. She seems to have said a lot, but she didn't reveal a single word about the key points. Now we can only wait and see. Everything will wait until after the disciple-taking ceremony, and then we can act according to the situation." Gu Lianhun said a little depressed.
Xiao Lin could understand Gu Lianhun's mood. With his status, he only schemed against others, so he didn't have the unpleasant feeling of being manipulated by others today.
However, Xiao Lin had no choice and couldn't figure out the key point. What he knew now was that the demon clan had split up. Not only the demon clan, but even the demon realm seemed to have become two forces. The conflict between the three forces could break out at any time.
In the next few days, Gu Lianhun and Xiao Lin stayed in their own rooms, meditating and practicing. Xiao Lin was almost thinking these days. He even recalled all the people he knew from beginning to end several times, but still couldn't find a disciple who met the words of Kuishui Saint Ancestor.
On this day, Xiao Lin opened his eyes early in the morning. It was another sleepless night. For cultivators, sleep is not necessary, but the soul still needs to rest regularly.
Xiao Lin stood up with a solemn face. At this time, he heard a child's voice coming from outside.
"Young Palace Master, Senior Gu, the two children of Shuiyuan are here to invite you to attend the Saint Ancestor's disciple-taking ceremony."
Xiao Lin already knew who was coming and slowly opened the door. Gu Lianhun opened the door almost at the same time as him.
"Thank you for your help."
The arrival of the two children of Shuiyuan did not surprise Xiao Lin. After all, the two left and right palace masters of Fenshui Palace had been guarding the city gate for several days. This shows that the Saint Ancestor of Kuishui valued them.
Xiao Lin calmed down at this moment, and his mind was unusually clear. He followed the two children of Shuiyuan and headed towards the Sky Square of the Sky Fairy City.
The Sky Square is located hundreds of feet above the Sky Fairy City, and is only a few dozen miles in size. As early as Xiao Lin and his companions arrived at the Sky Fairy City, martial law had been imposed there. Except for the disciples of the Fenshui Palace, no one was allowed to enter the Sky Square. It was obviously preparing for this celebration.
The two children of Shuiyuan came to the bottom of the Sky Square, and clouds appeared under their feet, and they flew upwards. Xiao Lin and Gu Lianhun looked at each other and followed.
The Sky Square is completely open at ordinary times, and it is also the core area of the Sky Fairy City. There are several well-known businesses in the entire Holy Moon Continent, which receive some high-level cultivators above the Refining Void Stage and top-level cultivators above the Crossing Tribulation Stage.
This is obviously also the preferential treatment of the two by the Saint Ancestor Kuishui. You must know that at ordinary times, the Sky Square is heavily restricted, and the only passage is the teleportation array below.
Soon Xiao Lin and his companions flew to the square. At this moment, the square actually gathered at least thousands of cultivators, most of whom were at the Refining Void Stage or above. Seeing this scene, even Xiao Lin was very surprised. He rarely saw so many high-level cultivators gathered together.
In the center of the square, there is a high platform, and around the high platform is a circle of floating chairs.
There are already dozens of people sitting on the floating chairs. The lowest realm of these people is the Tribulation Crossing Stage, and all of them are well-known overlords in the Star Sea Region.
Many are even the leaders of some second- and third-rate sects.
"Please come this way, both of you." The twin boys of Tianyuan did not stop. The clouds under their feet flickered, and they flew towards the floating chairs in front again. When they arrived in front of the floating chairs, the boy pointed to the two floating chairs in front of him and said, "Please sit down, the disciple-taking ceremony will start later."
"Thank you." After Xiao Lin and Gu Lianhun thanked them, they sat down on the chairs, and the scene below was unobstructed.
Several people around had already arrived. The monks sitting on the floating chairs all looked at Xiao Lin and the others with a thoughtful expression. It was obvious that the two people were unfamiliar faces, which made them feel a little strange. The most important thing was that the two children who led the two people were actually the twin boys of the Kuishui Saint Ancestor, which was a supreme honor.
All of them were the leaders of a sect, and some were the overlords of a region, but the one who led them was only the inner domain elder of the Fenshui Palace.
Xiao Lin and Gu Lianhun didn't care about the eyes around them, but looked forward. The floating chairs in the center were always empty, and the Saint Ancestor of Kuishui didn't show up.
In the center of the square, which was ten miles in size, there was an altar a hundred feet high. There were countless Dao patterns engraved on the altar, and two rows of Fenshui Palace disciples stood around, all of them were in the realm of Lianxu period.
After an unknown amount of time, a spiritual light shot from a distance and landed in the center of the square.
The originally noisy square suddenly became quiet, and almost all eyes were on the person who came. The person who came was a woman who looked to be in her twenties, with an extraordinary appearance, holding Gong Ji's arm. The lush jade hairpin on Gong Ji made him look more pure.
The moment he saw this person, Gu Lianhun's voice rang in Xiao Lin's ears: "This is Lian Ciqing, the Right Palace Master of Fenshui Palace."
Xiao Lin had seen this woman before from the golden light screen manifested by Gu Lianhun, but although he saw her face clearly at that time, it was a little hazy. Seeing her in person now, Xiao Lin was also a little surprised. This woman's appearance seemed to be no less than his wife Lin Xueying and Xia Mo.
This woman has Lin Xueying's nobleness and seems to have a little more spirituality of Xia Mo. I'm afraid that any man who sees her will be moved.
But this woman gave Xiao Lin a strange feeling, always making him feel unreal, as if there were something unknown hidden under her otherworldly appearance.
"Lian Ci Qing, this woman is amazing. She has advanced to the Mahayana stage ten thousand years ago. At that time, she was appointed by the Holy Ancestor Kuishui as the right generation palace master, taking charge of all the power of life and death in Fenshui Palace. After hearing that Gu Shuixia It was she who suggested Kuishui Saint Ancestor, and then the position of Zuo Dai Palace Master was added. This woman seemed to be in charge of the power of Fenshui Palace, but she didn't seem to be keen on power. She practiced very hard, and she would also be the one who will be in the future for thousands of years. Within, there is the most promising existence to advance to the realm of the Saint Ancestor.”
Gu Lianhun obviously knew that this was the first time Xiao Lin saw this woman, so he told Xiao Lin all the information he knew about this woman.
"This woman gave Xiao Lin a very strange feeling, as if she was looking at two completely different people. This feeling is really strange." Xiao Lin said in Chuanyin Gu Lianhun.
"Haha, I'm really discerning. This girl looks innocent, like a fairy descending to earth. In fact, she practices a very evil technique of the demon clan. This technique is called - the law of joy and lust, if you It is a mistake to think that this is a common nourishing technique in the world of immortality. This method of combining pleasure and lust can actually nourish the innate true yin and true yang of the immortal cultivator, which also makes it basically yin and yang. People of the same body, the so-called monsters who do not differentiate between yin and yang, refer to this kind of people. "
"Yin and yang are the same body?" Xiao Lin was dumbfounded when he heard this. He didn't expect this to be the case. He also understood why he felt the way he did before. It was the breath of yin and yang invisibly emanating from his body that gave him the previous feeling. Feel.
"Fellow Taoists, Lianciqing, on behalf of the Holy Ancestor, I would like to welcome you all. At the same time, Lianciqing also represents the Holy Ancestor to preside over this apprenticeship ceremony. This apprenticeship ceremony is divided into three steps. The first step is The Holy Ancestor will worship the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth, the second step will be to announce a major event, and the third step will be for the new disciples to perform three kneels and nine kowtows."
After a pause, Lianciqing continued: "After completing the third step of the ceremony, you will also witness a major event that is about to happen in our Xinghai region. Okay, let's move on to the first step. Please invite Holy Ancestor Kuishui. Come in person."
As Lian Ciqing finished speaking, the pleasant sound of fairy music suddenly sounded all around.
