Volume 1: Wind Rises in the Mountains and Swamps Chapter 58: Shocking Appearance
When Elder Ma heard the words, his eyes flashed, he nodded and praised: "Follow the trend and use stillness to stop! What the leader said made Ma suddenly feel enlightened, haha!"
Mu Tiancheng's expression was calm and his eyes were far away. He didn't take much notice of Elder Ma's praise and continued: "The matter was settled like this. Elder Lao Ma and several other elders announced it and said it was my wish. But the covenant must have some control over Baiyun Temple!"
After pondering for a moment, Mu Tiancheng said without any doubt; "These two items must be added to the alliance. After the alliance is concluded, Baiyun Temple must obey the orders of our Tianlong Sect, and treat our Tianlong Sect as the respect, priority and priority in everything. The other one , that is, if the other party betrays the covenant and does anything detrimental to our faction, we should treat it as an enemy and eradicate it with thunderous force."
The two items added by Mu Tiancheng were extremely harsh and humiliating to the Baiyun Temple on the side of the covenant. Of course, if Baiyun Temple cannot bear the humiliation, it will be a happy choice if they don't form this alliance. Although they are using tricks, they are also fighting spears against spears, tit for tat. The true Yuanzi of Baiyun Temple is calculating every step of the way. There is really no telling who the final winner will be.
None of these people are easy to get along with in terms of their government and scheming. Lin Yi shook his head secretly.
Elder Ma stood up and obeyed the orders, obeying the master's arrangements.
"Disciple's trip is coming soon, how are the related arrangements arranged?" Mu Tiancheng's tone softened.
"There is still a lot of time until February of next year. The selection of outgoing disciples will follow the practice of previous years. They will be selected by the disciples in the sect through skill competition, and the final decision will be made by the headmaster and the elders. The competition will also be held as scheduled at the beginning of next month." Elder Ma was at the sect. He has a high status in the family, so he should be familiar with these things.
"The elder must accompany him when he goes out this time. As for the selection of the elder, does Elder Ma have any idea?" Mu Tiancheng nodded and continued to ask.
Elder Ma shook his head. Decision!”
There was a hint of desolation in Elder Ma's words. The experiences of thirty years ago kept popping up in front of my eyes, like a nightmare that I couldn't get rid of. It makes people confused, obsessed, frightened, and also deeply lost and melancholy!
Mu Tiancheng also sighed slightly and said: "Oh! I also go out once every twenty years. If you don't climb a mountain, you don't know how high the sky is; if you don't go to a deep stream, you don't know how thick the earth is. I thought it would be easy to establish a foothold in the Tianlong Sect. But he looks down upon all the heroes and dominates the world. Who would have thought that he would realize how insignificant he is when he comes out of the sea, so he would just accept his fate. Who would have thought that there would be a group of people in this world who could control the power of heaven and earth. Human existence, in front of these people, you and I are too humble to hold our heads up. All these feelings have been in my heart for twenty years, which makes me depressed and incomprehensible. I just lament that God is unfair!"
Elder Ma also took a long breath and said slowly: "Fortunately, our sect has persevered for a long time. Over the past hundred years, the three supreme elders have crossed the natural chasm. The leader must also have the blessing of opportunity, and he is born with success! Ma Mou does not care about the sect. It has been cultivated, but it is still difficult to open the entrance, and it is inherently hopeless." As he said this, he chuckled. There is desolation and helplessness in the laughter,
Mu Tiancheng said: "Yang Zu Xuan Guan is an innate creation, and everyone has it, but as we grow older, it gradually fades away. It is also a coincidence that I have used the power of overseas elixirs and ten or twenty years of hard work. , I have only achieved a small amount of success. I am proud of myself in the world, but it is not worth mentioning in front of the three Supreme Elders! Just listen to what the Supreme Elder said, they are just like children learning to walk, struggling. , I’m afraid they will stop here in this life. Otherwise, they will not return to the sect, and they are really discouraged by that path.”
"The three supreme elders have dedicated their lives to the sect, devoted themselves to supporting the sect, and blessed their descendants. They should be role models for us and the sect is a true leader!" Elder Ma said with a solemn look on his face.
Mu Tiancheng's eyebrows were raised slightly, he waved his hand and said softly: "That is a road to the sky. There is not one in ten thousand who can set foot on that road. There is not one in ten thousand who can walk on that road for a long time." . Haha! I can only pray that the disciples on this trip will be blessed!”
Lin Yi stood quietly on the eaves, his heart was like a turbulent wave, turbulent.
Elder Ma and the leader have actually gone to the sea. I wonder if the place they went to is Daxia Kingdom, it should not be too far away. The two people said that the Supreme Elder had crossed the natural chasm. Could it be that he was referring to the path to immortality? In other words, these three elders are cultivators of immortality? What is the cultivation level of these three people? What exercises did you practice? What spells do you know? Will it be detrimental to myself?
For a moment, Lin Yi couldn't calm down.
Seeing Elder Ma retreat, Lin Yi wanted to leave, but saw that the leader Mu Tiancheng had no intention of going to bed. Instead, he left Lingyun Pavilion alone and walked out.
There were so many questions that Lin Yi couldn't help but feel itchy. This wooden leader behaves strangely, which makes people even more curious. But he didn't dare to get close. His consciousness locked on Mu Tiancheng from a distance and followed him quietly.
Mu Tiancheng left Lingyun Pavilion and passed around the peak. He stretched out his body like a night owl and slid down the mountain quietly.
Astonished by the master's mastery of Qinggong, Lin Yi did not hesitate to step forward, following him from a distance like a breeze blowing by.
This Ouwei Peak is no less than a thousand feet high, and Lingyun Pavilion is five or six hundred feet away from the foot of the mountain. Mu Tiancheng's figure was elegant, his toes frequently touched the pine peak rocks, and he reached the bottom of the peak in a matter of seconds while holding a cup of tea. He kept moving forward without stopping.
Lin Yi sighed secretly, if it weren't for his extraordinary wind control skills, he would never be able to catch up with Mu Tiancheng. The Qinggong of the Tianlong Sect is so superb that it is extremely admirable.
Mu Tiancheng walked five or six miles and came to a peak that was higher and steeper than Ouwei Peak. His figure paused, his feet slowed down a little, and then he turned into a faint figure and floated towards the mountain peak.
Could this be the Golden Peak where the Supreme Elder lives? Mu Tiancheng was running rampant in the Tianlong Sect and didn't need to care about the mountain patrol guards everywhere, but Lin Yi was secretly vigilant and stayed with Baizhangwai.
Mu Tiancheng galloped up a thousand feet and came to a cave. After bowing and saluting, he walked in.
Lin Yi stopped moving forward and followed Mu Tiancheng into the cave with his spiritual consciousness. It's just that the moment my spiritual consciousness entered the cave, I felt a little stagnant.
The cave is very simple and crude, similar to the cave behind the Immortal Summit.
On the futon in the cave, an old man in black robe sat cross-legged.
When Mu Tiancheng entered the cave, the old man's expression showed a hint of surprise, and then he closed his eyes slightly.
Lin Yi, who was in the distance, suddenly felt an unfamiliar spiritual consciousness, covering an area of 70 to 80 feet around the cave in an instant.
Sure enough, in response to the previous speculation, this old man actually developed spiritual consciousness just like himself.
The Supreme Elder is a monk, also known as a person who cultivates immortality.
Lin Yi was frightened, and his heart was pounding. Could it be that the old man in black robe discovered him? He entered a ray of consciousness in the cave and did not dare to act rashly.
After a while, the old man in black robe shook his head and opened his eyes. He stared at Mu Tiancheng with suspicion on his face.
After pondering for a moment, the old man in black robe stretched out his hand and three small flags flew to his hand. He checked it in confusion, waved his hand again, and the flag flew into the entrance of the cave and disappeared after hitting the ground.
This move made Lin Yi frown secretly. The jerky feeling in his consciousness just now was caused by the formation at the entrance of the cave, which made the other party aware of it. In my heart, I felt a little more in awe of the methods of those who cultivated immortality. I also have a small flag formation, which is usually only used for stealth cover and shielding. The function of the four-flag flag remains to be tried!
The old man's consciousness can extend seventy or eighty feet, which is far behind his own. This gave Lin Yi the confidence to observe the old man in the cave in detail.
The old man has a white beard all over his face, but his complexion is as rosy and tender as a baby's. His eyes are bright and full of energy. There was a faint layer of light on the body, which should be caused by the fluctuation of spiritual energy, similar to when he had reached the fourth level of practicing Xuantian Heart Technique.
Could this old man's cultivation be at the fourth level of Qi training? If I were standing in front of him, wouldn't it be possible for him to recognize his identity with his spiritual consciousness?
Thinking of this, Lin Yi felt helpless. Couldn't the fluctuations of spiritual energy be hidden in his body?
At such a long distance, the spiritual consciousness could only see its shape, but the conversation between the two could not be heard. Lin Yi wanted to get closer, but secretly hesitated and did not dare to move.
After placing the formation flag, the old man talked to Mu Tiancheng. After a while, I saw the old man patting his waist, and it turned out to be a Qiankun bag. In the cave, a small box appeared out of thin air.
The old man pointed his finger, and the lid of the box opened automatically. There were one or two hundred spiritual stones inside.
Lin Yi was jealous when he saw it. If I had so many spiritual stones, would I still need to break them to brew spiritual wine?
At this moment, Mu Tiancheng no longer has the majesty of the past. With a respectful look on his face, he said to the old man in black robe: "It took the sect ten years of hard work to collect these spiritual stones. Please forgive me, Uncle Jiang!" His words were apologetic.
Elder Heipaojiang shook his head slightly, his voice was old but clear and full of energy.
"Tiancheng doesn't have to blame himself for this. Ordinary people can't tell the difference between spiritual stones. It's not easy to collect these. You have also made many twists and turns, I know it well. And whether there is anyone in my sect who can step into the immortal way, it will be difficult." It’s related to our Tianlong Sect’s plan to prosper for thousands of years! It’s a pity that the three of us have a limited lifespan…”
"Uncle Jiang will live a long life...!" Mu Tiancheng hurriedly comforted him, but suddenly thought of something, and he secretly regretted it.
Elder Jiang looked in his eyes, waved his hands indifferently, and said: "A person who lives a hundred years is a rare longevity in the secular world, but in the world of immortality, it is nothing to mention! There, between people, age is not the only criterion. There is no distinction between respect for one’s superiors and one’s superiority based on one’s cultivation.”
As Elder Jiang said, he chuckled tastelessly, and continued: "We can only belong to the humblest level. Our own qualifications and opportunities are inferior, so we can't blame others."
Mu Tiancheng said seriously: "The three uncles are the jade pillars of our Tianlong Sect. From me onwards, everyone respects these uncles like gods!"
Elder Jiang's eyes flickered, and he ignored Mu Tiancheng's admiration, and said leisurely: "This trip is of great importance, and it affects the future of the sect——"
Mu Tiancheng hurriedly bowed and saluted, and said: "The disciples sent by the sect this time are all elites among the younger generation. Maybe some of them will be promoted to the immortal sect." He paused and continued with a slight hesitation: "It's just that According to my uncle, if you don’t have spiritual roots, you can’t cultivate immortality. If your disciples in my sect have spiritual roots, wouldn’t it be possible to get twice the result with half the effort?”
Elder Jiang held his white beard in his hand, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "How does my nephew know the clues here? Let alone you, the three of us, to be honest, are also very ignorant. In the Immortal Sect, an expert in the foundation building stage , can we truly step into the path of cultivating immortals? We are still just getting a glimpse of the path, and we haven’t really started yet—!”
Elder Jiang spoke slowly and desolately. He sighed and said, "Whether a person has spiritual roots or not, can't you tell at a glance? Only the seniors with profound cultivation have such means. The three of us have limited cultivation. Elder Qiao has cultivated for thirty years and has only reached the second level; Elder Zhu has cultivated for fifty years and has only reached the fifth level. And I have wasted fifty years and have only reached the fourth level. In desperation, the three of us returned to our hometown decades ago. It has been thirty years since I came back. Although my cultivation has not increased, who says it is not a return to one's roots! In addition, it can be regarded as a token of gratitude for the sect... Alas! People become nagging when they get old. Why are you talking to you..."
Lin Yi was in the spiritual consciousness, so he naturally couldn't hear the conversation between the two. He saw the old man spread his hands to Mu Tiancheng, and he didn't know what he was saying. The latter nodded frequently, with a respectful look on his face.
Then the two talked for a while. Mu Tiancheng bowed and said goodbye. Lin Yi didn't dare to be careless. His spiritual consciousness followed Mu Tiancheng out of the cave.
The old man stared at the cave entrance with a flickering gaze, as if thinking about something…
