Chapter 546 Entrustment
This demon cultivator wearing a black robe, with white hair and a childish face, is none other than Xuan Sanren, the ancestor of the demonic path in the Ascension Realm.
Behind him, there were several golden elixir stage demon cultivators standing:
A young man with extremely beautiful appearance, but his face was pale, as if covered with a carefully carved, flawless dead face.
An old sword slave carrying a sword box on his back with a dull expression and only the whites of his eyes.
A burly demon cultivator with sharp fingers and bloodshot eyes.
These three people were the three demon cultivators who had appeared outside Nanyue City.
The only thing missing was the old woman who looked stale and chatty.
"This man named Zhuang really has a lot of tricks up his sleeve."
The white-faced boy sneered.
The demon cultivator sneered, "If you don't understand the formation, don't talk nonsense. What does it mean to have two moves? This is one of the most profound formation techniques in the cultivation world. No one in your entire blood refining sect can understand it."
The white-faced young man was slightly angry, but the old man with the sword box said:
"Be careful, Mr. Zhuang is not something you and I can criticize."
The white-faced boy was displeased, but said nothing.
The soul-refining blood flags filled the sky under the sea of blood.
The five-element mountain-protecting formation, with its flowing light and surging spiritual power, resists the murderous intentions in the sky and fights against the overwhelming evil energy.
The old man with the sword box licked his lips, with a trace of bloodthirsty in his eyes, and said to Xuansan:
"Your Majesty, the magic sword needs to kill more creatures and absorb enough human blood before it can break through this formation."
Xuan Sanren's eyes were gloomy, he thought for a moment, then suddenly shook his head and said:
"There's no rush. Even if the formation is broken, there's nothing you can do about him at this moment. Just trap him first."
Then he smiled softly, "I have planned it for hundreds of years and used the Blood Demonic Formation to tamper with the Five Elements Mountain Protection Formation, but I didn't expect that he would break it with his hands..."
"As expected of...Mr. Zhuang, who has half of the talent of a human being..."
"But even if all the mechanisms are exhausted, that's the end of it."
"This place has been locked by the secrets of the underworld, and the secrets of the underworld have been blocked. In a short period of time, the Taoist monks will not be able to discover them at all..."
"In less than three days, when the soul-refining flag and the sea of blood surge into the sky, Lishan City is completely sealed, and the magic sword hangs in the sky, devouring flesh and blood. The entire Lishan City will turn into purgatory, and no living thing can escape."
"The Secret Lock of the Underworld, the Soul Refining Flag, and the Chaos Demon Sword are three holy treasures of the Demonic Path, enough to trap any monk to death."
"Even Mr. Zhuang is no exception!"
"What's more, today is different from the past, and he is no longer the Mr. Zhuang who looked down on the world..."
The three old men with the sword box raised their hands and said, "Your Majesty is wise."
Xuan Sanren closed his eyes and rested his mind, seeming to be calculating something.
The three old men with the sword box did not dare to disturb them, so they bowed and retreated.
The three of them stepped aside. The demon cultivator looked excited and asked the sword box old man in a low voice:
"Do you think we can catch this person this time?"
The old man with the sword box said solemnly: "You and I will act as ordered. There is no need to worry about success or failure."
The demon cultivator was asking for trouble and snorted, "I don't believe you are pretending. The opportunity to become an immortal is right in front of you. How can you not be tempted?"
The old man with the sword box trembled at the corners of his eyes, "Are you and I worthy of coveting this kind of opportunity?"
He lowered his voice again: "You and I are here just to act as pawns under the orders of Demon Cult Ming Ancestor..."
"I'll kill some people by the way and feed the magic sword. You should be more honest, follow orders, perform some meritorious deeds, and in the future, you can take a step further from the position of the Elder of Ten Thousand Demons..."
"That's the most pragmatic thing to do."
"The word 'immortal' is something that the Underworld Ancestor considers. How can it be something that we, in this realm, can only think about?"
"Above the immortal characters, there is the same life span between heaven and earth; below the immortal characters, there is an abyss of ten thousand feet!"
"If you are not careful, you and I will both die without a burial place..."
The demon cultivator said perfunctorily: "Okay, okay, I understand."
But in his heart he scorned: "I don't believe you won't be tempted by the opportunity to become an immortal..."
A glimmer of light flashed in the big man's eyes.
The white-faced young man beside him also looked coveted and ambitious.
Even the solemn-looking old man with the sword box had ups and downs in his mood...
Become an immortal...
The three of them had different thoughts and were a little quiet for a while.
After a while, the demon cultivator suddenly asked strangely: "Where is that old woman? Why is she missing?"
The old man with the sword box was startled, then frowned and said, "Let's go and refine the corpse."
The demon cultivator asked strangely: "It's just corpse refining, how can it be more important than this matter now?"
"You don't understand what kind of corpse she is making..."
The old man with the sword box condensed his eyes, "Given time, if that corpse is refined, it will really be... no small matter..."
"It's just a zombie..." The big man shook his head.
The fair-faced boy also showed disdain.
…
Inside the Five Elements Sect, under the mountain-protecting formation.
When the great elder saw Mr. Zhuang, his face was tangled and he hesitated for a long time. Then he bent down, cupped his hands and said:
"Five Elements Sect, thank you sir for saving your life!"
He was very reluctant.
The disaster of the Five Elements Sect was caused by Mr. Zhuang.
But ultimately, it was because of Liao Tiande, the traitor.
Liao Tiande is the head of the Five Elements Sect.
The leader colluded with the Demon Sect, tampered with the formation, and murdered Mr. Zhuang. From this perspective, the Five Elements Sect was also to blame.
The Five Elements Blood Evil Formation is a second-grade evil formation that can refine the flesh and blood of all the monks in the formation.
He, a Jindan cultivator, couldn't resist, let alone the other disciples of the Five Elements Sect.
If it weren't for Mr. Zhuang, the Five Elements Sect would have been destroyed today.
The disciples will also be killed and injured, turned into the nourishment of the evil formation, and die under this great formation that was once left by their ancestors to protect the disciples of their clan.
Therefore, although the great elder was reluctant, he still lowered his head and thanked Mr. Zhuang.
There is another reason: he wants to preserve the foundation of the Five Elements Sect.
Outside the Five Elements Sect.
Blood flags cover the sky, and the sea of blood fills the air.
The magic sword hangs high, and murderous intent rages.
What's more, there is also an ancestor of the Xuan Demon in the Ascension Realm.
This is a dead end!
The great elder felt despair.
He thought hard, but could not find a way to solve the problem, so he could only place his hope in the unpredictable Mr. Zhuang.
I hope Mr. Zhuang can point out a way for their Five Elements Sect to survive, so that their disciples of the Five Elements Sect can survive.
However, he had made things difficult for him many times before, but now he had no shame to speak out.
Mr. Zhuang seemed to have seen through the great elder's thoughts and said calmly:
"I can save you."
The great elder's heart trembled, his eyes showed hope, but also some doubts, "You..."
Mr. Zhuang said: "My disciple, after learning your inheritance, I have inherited your kindness. Every drink, every peck, the cycle of cause and effect. I will save you once and give you a way to live. This is not only the end of cause and effect, but also for the Five Elements Sect. Ancestors, an explanation.”
The great elder was overjoyed, but his heart was depressed and he stopped talking.
Mr. Zhuang looked calm and did not speak.
The great elder hesitated again and again, but still couldn't let go, so he hesitated and asked the doubts that had been lingering in his heart for a long time:
"Mr. Zhuang...what inheritance does your disciple have from our Five Elements Sect?"
Mr. Zhuang smiled lightly, "What do you think?"
The Great Elder frowned and considered:
"The Five Elements Spiritual Array... I'm afraid it's more than that..."
"I know, so what can I do?"
The great elder was stunned.
Mr. Zhuang shook his head, "You can't learn the Five Elements Absolute Formation. What can you do if you master the other inheritances?"
These words deeply pierced the heart of the great elder.
But he couldn't argue.
Over the years, the younger generation of disciples have been indulging in comfort and not wanting to make progress. It has been a long time since anyone has been able to learn the Five Elements Absolute Formation.
It is their own fault that the pearl is covered in dust.
The great elder sighed deeply.
Mr. Zhuang's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he said: "In the future, if my disciple is successful in the formation, he can pass this inheritance on to your Five Elements Sect!"
The great elder was shocked and said in surprise:
"Sir, do you really mean what you say?"
Mr. Zhuang nodded, "But there is one thing you have to agree to."
The great elder frowned. He knew that there was no such good thing, but inheritance was a big deal, so he still said:
"Sir, please speak."
Mr. Zhuang said in a deep voice: "Don't mention the affairs of my apprentices to anyone, especially... my little apprentice."
"Don't mention anything about the Five Elements Sect, inheritance, or even the fact that he has been here or that you have met him from now on..."
The great elder was startled, "This..."
Mr. Zhuang's eyes were deep and his expression was serious.
The great elder's heart trembled, and he suddenly realized that this seemingly insignificant thing might be very important.
"good!"
The great elder nodded solemnly.
Mr. Zhuang looked at the great elder with clear eyes, nodded slightly, and pointed:
"The Soul Refining Flag will be finished in two days. By then, the sea of blood will surge into the sky and seal the entire Lishan City."
Mr. Zhuang opened the map of Lishan City, tapped his finger, and drew a line:
"At noon tomorrow, all the elders and disciples of your Five Elements Sect will leave Lishan City along this line from the southwest corner, and do not come back again..."
The Great Elder was a little surprised, "I'm afraid the Demon Cult won't let it go..."
"You don't have to worry about it."
The Great Elder nodded honestly, but he was reluctant to give up, "Then the foundation of my Five Elements Sect..."
Mr. Zhuang’s eyes were slightly cold:
"If the formation is there and people are there, the sect will be there; if the formation is lost and people die, the sect will be dead. These broken bricks and tiles are not the foundation. Talent is the foundation, and the formation is the foundation."
The great elder suddenly woke up and said with a look of shame on his face:
"Thank you for your advice, sir."
Mr. Zhuang nodded and said that.
The great elder stood up respectfully, bowed deeply to Mr. Zhuang, and then left.
Mr. Zhuang called Aunt Xue and three disciples again and said:
"Tomorrow the Five Elements Sect will leave, and you will also leave together. But before leaving, I have something to tell you."
Mr. Zhuang left Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi behind first and handed two jade slips to them:
"This is the complete formation diagram of the Immortal Heaven Formation. You should keep it and understand it well. Don't let this inheritance down."
"This is also what your mother is thinking about..."
"She couldn't learn it back then, so she thought deeply about it, hoping that you could learn the source of this supreme formation..."
"As for other things...you have a family and mother's arrangements, so I don't need to worry too much."
The two took the jade slip and were silent for a while.
Bai Zisheng lowered his head, feeling a little ashamed.
Bai Zixi hesitated for a moment, then whispered: "Master, I'm sorry, mother, kiss her..."
Mr. Zhuang smiled slightly, "This is a matter of the previous generation and has nothing to do with you..."
Mr. Zhuang looked at the two children gently and said with relief:
"You all have very good xinxing talents. The Immortal Formation was taught to you out of my original intention, not just because of your mother..."
Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi had sore eyes, and they kowtowed three times to Mr. Zhuang respectfully.
Mr. Zhuang accepted their courtesy calmly, and then sighed slightly:
"Take good care of yourself in the future."
"Also..."
"Take good care of your junior brother for me..."
"Yes!" Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi nodded solemnly.
After that, the two of them left reluctantly.
Mr. Zhuang called Mo Hua in alone.
"Master..."
Mo Hua's eyes were sour.
Mr. Zhuang smiled gently, waved his hand, called Mo Hua to his side, and handed him a ring.
This ring is simple, but simple and elegant.
"Your senior brothers and sisters have a family, a background, and a mother with extraordinary cultivation methods. They have everything they need, so I will be partial to you and leave this to you..."
"This is a Nazi ring."
"It's similar to a storage bag. It can store things, but it's more hidden than a storage bag."
"Although you are a casual cultivator and don't have many treasures, you have a lot of confidential things, especially the jade slip of "Tian Yan Jue" and the "Five Elements Formation Flow Diagram"... These must be kept well and must not be lost."
Mr. Zhuang personally put the "Nazi ring" on Mo Hua's hand with great care.
The Nazi ring is of normal size, but Mo Hua has a small hand, so he can only wear it on his thumb.
"This ring needs to be 'blood-recognized'."
Mr. Zhuang said, and then with a stroke of his fingertips, a blood mark slipped out of Mo Hua's left thumb, and the blood flowed into the "Nazi ring".
The Nazi ring seemed to come alive, greedily eating Mo Hua's blood.
The wound hurt a lot, but Mo Hua pursed his lips and endured it without making a sound.
After a while, the pain subsided. Mo Hua looked down and saw that the ring on his thumb seemed to have disappeared, but a faint connection was established in his spiritual consciousness.
It was as if the ring still existed on his thumb.
It was just that no one else could see it except himself.
Mr. Zhuang was relieved to see that the ring did not reject it. He looked at Mo Hua again and asked in a gentle voice:
"Have you remembered everything I taught you?"
"Yes." Mo Hua nodded.
Mr. Zhuang asked one by one.
From the calculation of spiritual consciousness to many array theories, from the reverse spirit array, the thick earth array, to the five elements spirit array, and even the structure of the large array, the key points of the array...
Mr. Zhuang repeated it tirelessly.
It seemed that this was the last time he would teach his little apprentice.
So he repeated everything patiently and gently.
As Mo Hua listened, his nose was sore and his eyes were a little hazy.
After Mr. Zhuang finished speaking, he touched Mo Hua's head and asked:
"The strange Taoist, you know..."
Mo Hua was startled and nodded slightly.
"The strange Taoist..."
"He is my senior brother, and can be regarded as...your uncle."
"He has been possessed by the devil, and he practices the art of 'weird' Taoism..."
"He is cold-hearted, very powerful, and extremely conceited, but he is proficient in the art of divine consciousness, and his use of divine consciousness is also at the pinnacle..."
"If you meet him in the future, you must be careful..."
"Yes, Master."
Mo Hua's eyes were moist and he nodded.
Mr. Zhuang glanced at Mo Hua, thought for a moment, and apologized a little, but still said bluntly:
"Master... has a great opportunity, and even more shocking secrets... but these cannot be passed on to you, let alone told to you."
"If I pass it on to you, it will bring you great disasters."
"Even if you just know it, it will be tainted with cause and effect."
"So you can't know anything, and don't want to know anything..."
"Xiantian Formation Flow is a unique inheritance, I can't teach you..."
"I can only teach you some obscure and complex spiritual consciousness methods, as well as the principles of formations."
"In the future, you have to learn one formation after another with your own ability, and comprehend it bit by bit..."
"Even if it will be very hard and there will be all kinds of setbacks, you must go your own way, form your own formation flow, cultivate supreme spiritual consciousness, and prove your own way!"
Mo Hua looked serious and nodded: "I remember, Master..."
Mr. Zhuang nodded and looked at Mo Hua. He felt that he had thousands of words to say, but he couldn't say them. In the end, he only sighed.
Mo Hua also drooped his head.
After a moment, Mr. Zhuang seemed to have made up his mind, smiled slightly, and said to Mo Hua:
"You must be tired, take a rest."
Mo Hua shook his head and was about to say "I'm not tired". He wanted to accompany his master more, but when he opened his mouth, he felt a little drowsy, as if he was really too tired. He hadn't closed his eyes for several days and was very tired.
Mo Hua's upper and lower eyelids fought, and he fell asleep unknowingly.
He breathed evenly, and his little face was innocent and cute, but his small eyebrows were tightly knitted, as if he was worried about something.
Mr. Zhuang looked at Mo Hua reluctantly, as if he wanted to remember Mo Hua's appearance forever in his heart.
He reached out and gently stroked Mo Hua's forehead, gently smoothed Mo Hua's frowning eyebrows, and whispered softly.
It seemed that he could only say these words when Mo Hua was asleep:
"The most fortunate thing in my life is that I accepted you as my disciple..."
"It's a pity that I won't see the day when you succeed in the formation..."
"This is the last gift from me..."
"You must live well..."
...
When Mo Hua woke up, it was still dark and the master was still by his side, but his breath was obvious and a little weaker.
"Master..."
Mo Hua said worriedly.
Mr. Zhuang smiled gently.
"I... fell asleep..."
Mo Hua felt a little ashamed.
Mr. Zhuang shook his head, "Go pack up. After dawn, follow your brothers and sisters to leave together."
Mo Hua's heart trembled, and he said reluctantly:
"Master, can't you go with us?"
Mr. Zhuang did not answer, but just touched Mo Hua's head and said softly:
"Go..."
Mo Hua could only leave reluctantly.
After dawn, Mo Hua followed Aunt Xue, his brothers and sisters, and all the monks of the Five Elements Sect to leave Lishan City.
Before leaving, he and his brothers and sisters went to see Mr. Zhuang again.
But Mr. Zhuang's door was closed, and it seemed that he would not see them again.
Mo Hua knocked on the door, but no one responded.
When the time came, he could only leave.
Mo Hua left the Five Elements Sect with the monks. Every few steps, he looked back, wondering if he could see his master, if he could see his master again.
But until he left the Five Elements Sect, he still didn't see the master.
"I can't see the master anymore..."
Mo Hua couldn't stop crying.
And on a tall building in the Five Elements Sect.
Mr. Zhuang, who was not seen by anyone, kept watching Mo Hua leave.
He looked at Mo Hua's small figure, kept looking back, wiping his tears, and walked farther and farther, and finally disappeared among the pavilions and towers.
In his warm eyes, he revealed endless expectations:
"I entrusted the past of the sect to your senior brothers and sisters..."
"But I entrusted the future of the sect to you..."
