Chapter 582: The Secret of the Previous Life, the Shocking Whirlpool
The main hall stood tall, vast and deep, with golden tiles pressing down on the ridge. The doorposts were engraved with the image of an auspicious beast, shaped like a unicorn, holding a precious book in its mouth. One by one, the spiritual texts flew out from the open pages, colliding with each other, with a mysterious sound of its own, suppressing the four directions and driving away evil.
At this time, the sun was rising in the east, and the sky was just right. The red air kept coming from afar, gathering more and more, and finally turned into a treasure wheel, with a halo of color and flowing light, constantly flying into the main hall, like a blazing flame burning, bright and brilliant.
Two maids stood on the steps with their hands hanging down, tied up in maid buns, wearing colorful skirts, not tall or short, not fat or thin, with impeccable smiles on their pretty faces, and behaved properly. Seeing Zhou Ziang and Zhou Shuzhen coming over, one of the maids stepped forward, asked about the origins of the two, and immediately said, "Please come in."
Zhou Ziang and Zhou Shuzhen nodded, and arrived at the main hall. There was a row of jade tables on both sides, some of which were already occupied. He wore a silver crown, his face was straight, his face was pale, and above his head, the Dansha aura was rising, like a piece of frost, with wind and clouds coming, and a cold color was coming at a glance.
Seeing the two people coming, the young man with the silver crown opened his eyes, looked at them, and said nothing, just motioned the two to take a seat quickly.
"Zhou Qingyuan."
Zhou Ziang and Zhou Shuzhen saw it and recognized this person. The other party was the best one in the Zhenyi Sect of their Hengnan Zhou family. Now he has reached the Danhua cultivation level and is making steady progress. He even holds a position in the sect. They haven't seen each other for a while, and now they meet again. The other party's momentum is stronger than before.
The two were silent, each found a place to sit, and then waited quietly.
As time passed, people entered the hall one after another. They were all children of the Hengnan Zhou family, and they were young and sharp.
Half an hour later, the hall finally quieted down, and no one came in. Only the smoke from the bronze tripod on the central platform became more and more, spreading in the air, like nine startling rainbows, high above.
The children of the Hengnan Zhou family in the hall, shrouded in the smoke, felt colder and colder, and a deep chill permeated and expanded.
At this moment, there was a loud noise, and on the central platform of the hall, countless cold air fell like beads, turning into a canopy. A figure sat below, with a handsome face, looking very young, not very old, but with a powerful aura, filling the entire hall.
Everyone looked at the platform, and in an instant, they felt an inexplicable coldness, like under a thousand-foot abyss, unfathomable, all the light, all the sound, all the perception, once approached, would sink to the depths, frozen, motionless.
That kind of power, unprecedented, unheard of.
The visitor seemed to sense that the magnetic field on his body affected everyone in the hall. His eyes moved and restrained his strength. Only a pair of clear eyes looked down, like thunder, containing magnificent power and supreme majesty.
The children of the Hengnan Zhou family in the hall immediately knew the identity of the visitor. They all stood up, bowed their heads and said loudly: "Meet the real person."
All the people were excited at this moment, because they practiced in the Zhenyi Sect and saw the ten thousand years of heritage of the Shangxuan Sect. They understood what kind of genius could become the chief of the ten major disciples.
What's more, the one in front of him was not only the chief of the ten major disciples, but also broke the youngest record of the chief of the ten major disciples. Just hearing it, there was a sense of legend, which made people feel a kind of joy of witnessing.
After the children of the Hengnan Zhou family came to the Zhenyi Sect, they, as outsiders, often felt the pressure from the surroundings, both openly and secretly, and regarded Zhou Qing, who operated them, as a leader. Compared with ordinary disciples of Zhenyi Sect, their feelings for Zhou Qing are more sincere and deeper.
Zhou Qing sat on the high platform, sensing the emotions of the Hengnan Zhou family in the hall. He was in a high state and had a strong spiritual consciousness. Any fluctuations were clearly visible in his mirror-like spiritual consciousness, and he nodded secretly.
After he established himself in Luochuan Zhou Family and Zhenyi Sect, he began to use various means to draw disciples from Hengnan Zhou Family to Zhenyi Sect.
On the one hand, through his memories of the previous life, he knew that the Hengnan Zhou family area was a battleground for military strategists, and he had made early arrangements. On the other hand, after the children of Hengnan Zhou Family came to Zhenyi Sect, whether actively or passively, they had to get close to him, and in many cases they were even more trustworthy than the members of Luochuan Zhou Family.
After they came, he also deliberately guided and cultivated them, and even asked people to take the extremely outstanding ones to Phoenix Mountain to see the competition of the top ten disciples in the sect to broaden their horizons.
Now, it seems that hard work pays off. Not only have the children of the Hengnan Zhou family made great progress compared to when they first came, but they also have a strong sense of belonging to the Zhenyi Sect.
Zhou Qing swept his eyes over the children of the Hengnan Zhou family that he had specially selected. He remained calm and took the time to give some advice on their cultivation.
He is now at a certain level of cultivation and has a great vision. He answered the difficult cultivation problems raised by everyone at will, and every word he said could make everyone in the hall suddenly enlightened.
When it was almost done, Zhou Qing got to the point and began to assign tasks to the outstanding children of the Hengnan Zhou family in the hall. In the hall, his clear voice sounded, and it was kept in the hall, and the law was not passed on to others.
After an unknown period of time, the door of the hall was reopened, and the magnificent and powerful aura of Zhou Qing, a Yuanying cultivator, had long disappeared. One by one, the children of the Hengnan Zhou family came out from inside, greeted each other, and went down the mountain.
Zhou Qingyuan returned to his cave on Taihe Island and sat alone in front of the window, motionless.
Unconsciously, it was already late, and a bright moon rose quietly outside. Because there was nothing around, it looked even bigger and brighter, as if it was hanging by the window, within reach. A layer of fine cold light shone on his body, like the sparse sound of water, making his face looming in the light and shadow.
When he heard the sound of a gentle ring and jade pendant colliding, he raised his eyelids, and a heroic woman in a red skirt was reflected in his mind. She carried a magic sword on her back, and the long sword tassel fluttered in the wind. The whole person looked sharp, as if she could be cut at any time. She said directly: "When are you leaving?"
The woman who came did not go in, but just stood in front of the window. She raised her head slightly, and her bright eyes seemed to be filled with endless ambitions in the coldness, burning at any time, and said: "When you are ready, you will set off."
There was no hesitation in her tone, and there was a decisive determination.
After coming to Zhenyi Sect, she finally got a glimpse of the true path of cultivation. No matter what, she had to grasp it. For this, she did not hesitate to do anything.
Zhou Qingyuan glanced at the other party. Although this fellow clan member was a woman, she was absolutely as brave as a man. She admired her tenacity and hard work in cultivation.
The other party had already condensed the middle-grade golden elixir and served in the Merit Court of the sect. She had been working diligently, hoping to accumulate merits, exchange resources, and go further. However, the competition in the sect has always been fierce, and opportunities are hard to find.
Now, Master Zhou’s arrangement is probably what she wants. She will definitely go all out and want to make great contributions.
"As for me,"
Although I don’t have the same ambition as the other party, I will also implement Master Zhou’s arrangement.
In recent years, Zhenyi Sect has indeed developed towards that area in an attempt to make a breakthrough. At the same time, the competition among the major Xuanmen headed by Doumu Palace and Taibai Sword Sect is also intensifying. It is no longer like the past, allowing many cultivation families to wander outside and be in a loose state, but integrating and strengthening control. The Hengnan Zhou family is in the middle of the situation and has already felt the pressure.
The area where the family is located will certainly be turbulent in the future. The various sects of the Xuanmen will probably show their fangs and integrate. It is almost impossible for the Hengnan Zhou family to be self-sufficient and get along with both sides as in the past. They must stand on the side. Since they have to stand on the side, the Shangxuanmen Zhenyi Sect is a good choice.
Other things aside, in the Zhenyi Sect, Master Zhou has always remembered the affection of growing up in the Hengnan Zhou family and has taken good care of the children of the Hengnan Zhou family. With Master Zhou's progressive attitude, there will be hope for the cave heaven in the future, and he can naturally protect the Hengnan Zhou family. In comparison, the Shangxuanmen Doumu Palace and Taibai Sword Sect, as well as the Zhongxuanmen Laojun Temple in that area, do not have such conditions.
From ancient times to the present, the cultivation family joining the Xuanmen has both benefits and risks.
If everything goes smoothly, the cultivation family can continue to branch out with the help of the larger platform of the Xuanmen, expand rapidly, and steadily move to the next level.
As for the risks, the internal complexity of the giant forces is not easy to gain a foothold. If you are not careful, you may even be abandoned. Looking through the thick history of Shangxuanmen, many cultivation families collapsed within a few years after joining, and the entire family was completely merged into the sect, and the original inheritance disappeared.
"That's it."
Zhou Qingyuan took a breath secretly. No matter what, when he returned to the clan, he must explain the pros and cons to the elders of his branch so that they can make the right choice.
In this way, the Hengnan Zhou clan, led by Zhou Qingyuan and Zhou Zhensu, quietly took action. Some wrote letters to the elders of the clan, and some set out directly to return. Anyway, the eight immortals crossed the sea and showed their magical powers.
After reading the collected news and confirming that the outstanding children of the Hengnan Zhou clan he had selected had taken action, Zhou Qing put it aside and returned to Changling Miaozhen Yudao Cave Heaven, continuing to practice with the help of the Cave Heaven Seal, striving to condense the Nascent Soul Dharma Body as soon as possible.
Zhenyi Sect wants to use Hengnan Zhou Clan as a starting point. Entering that area is indeed a big deal, but no one knows the bigger thing now, but he has a memory in his previous life, that is, Zhongxuanmen Laojun Temple wants to impact Shangxuanmen. Its influence is so great that it not only affects that area, but also involves many top forces. It is really turbulent, changing in thousands of ways, and contains countless opportunities.
But the bigger the scene, the more opportunities, and the more powerful the opportunity, the stronger the strength of the people entering the game needs to be to protect themselves. Otherwise, if the strength is not enough, forcing the entry, it is too easy to be robbed.
One step at a time, steady and steady, first improve the realm of cultivation.
As long as the realm of cultivation is improved and there is enough strength, you can first cooperate with the expansion of the sect, gain a foothold in Hengnan Zhou Clan, and then go further, using your own foresight to seize opportunities in the shocking events in the future.
In the Changling Miaozhen Yudao Cave Heaven, under the jade platform, there are six voids, and waterfalls are like rainbows, passing through, and the surging sound can be heard from far and near.
Cai Hanmo sat on the lotus throne, and above the top of the head, there was a colorful Yuanying Dharma image, filled with circles of light wheels, and countless seal characters were born and died in it, as if the stars in the sky were gathered together.
He once again sensed a scrutinizing consciousness falling from a high place in the dark, observing the mountains in the cave, the water in the cave, the growth of the lush forests in the cave, and the liveliness of the spirit deer running around in the cave. This consciousness became stronger and stronger, more and more subtle, more and more dense, and more and more calm.
In an instant, Cai Hanmo's face was terribly gloomy, almost dripping with water.
"How could it be so fast?"
This newly promoted Yuanying level 3 cultivator still couldn't believe it. Even if Zhou Qing was granted the authority by Guande Zhenren to hold the seal of the cave heaven, he was only a Yuanying level 2 cultivator. "He was not worthy of his position." It should be bumpy and intermittent to comprehend the wonders of the cave heaven. How could it be so smooth and getting stronger and stronger?
If this continues, Zhou Qing's progress in comprehending the wonders of the cave heaven may exceed everyone's imagination. If he is not stopped, this Changling Miaozhen Yudao Cave Heaven will really fall into his control.
"I can't move."
Cai Hanmo clenched the jade ruyi in his hand, and the Dharma image on the top of the door made a seal. In an instant, streams of light flew out and turned into flying letters to notify the people he gathered.
Originally, he thought that after gathering more people, he would launch it again, and the effect would be better, but now there is no way, the arrow is on the string and has to be shot, so it can only be like this.
Although not all preparations were in place, a force that could not be ignored had already been gathered. After all, Changling Miaozhen Yudao Cave Heaven was the cave heaven of the Yuanzhong Cai family, and no Cai family member would be willing to hand it over to outsiders.
Deep in the cave heaven, Guande Zhenren sat quietly on a golden river. The rippling water waves were cold, reflecting many scenes in the cave heaven, but they were vague and not very clear.
With his cave heaven realm, it would not be like this. It was just that after the catastrophe, he consciously gathered his power into his treasure body, hoping to maintain his fundamental vitality as much as possible.
But even so, what happened in the cave heaven could not be hidden from the perception of him, the master of the cave heaven.
Cai Jiuyuan sat below, his eyes flickering, thinking.
There is no doubt that with such a movement, some of them were instigated by other forces. Ever since Master Guande suffered a calamity and stopped caring about the affairs of the clan and the sect, the Yuanzhong Cai family and Changling Miaozhen Yudao Dongtian lost their backbone, and many interested forces in the sect have tried to infiltrate.
As for why they dare to jump out and make trouble blatantly now, there is also an explanation.
Suddenly, Master Guande smiled, looking calm and said: "They also have something to rely on. They bully me because I am injured and my life span is not long."
