Chapter 365 Two Iron Rules, Thirst for Talent
After Zheng Fa finished speaking, the hall was silent for a while.
Everyone had a look of bewilderment on their faces. Obviously, this news couldn't be worse.
"I was lucky."
Xie Qingxue sighed softly, letting the head of Mingde slowly come back to his senses. He shook his head, his tone full of bitterness: "We were all lucky."
Qingyun Great Sage's face was even paler. He murmured in a low voice: "If so, then Qin Mu should also be in the sea area to guide the Great Free Demon Ancestor?"
This guess is very likely.
Qingyun Great Sage said again: "Isn't the Demon Ancestor the first one to deal with us?"
Zheng Fa knew that the "we" he mentioned was referring to the Seven Great Sages, or even the entire demon clan.
Seeing the panic of Qingyun Great Sage, Zheng Fa also felt that the other party was a little unlucky - it was too late for the Seven Great Sages to defect. They watched the Great Free Demon Sect's gods die one by one, and watched Jiao Wuji and others being captured. They might even have determined in advance that the Nether Immortal would die.
It can be said that he was cautious.
But if the Great Free Demon Ancestor is resurrected, he probably won't sympathize with them for holding on to the end...
The Great Sage Qingyun also knows this, and at this moment he seems more helpless than everyone else in the hall. He looks at the Mingde Chief, and his expression is almost crying: "Chief, this matter...what should we do about this matter?"
The Mingde Chief just looked at him, frowned and said nothing, and it seems that he doesn't completely trust this person.
This is normal. The seven great saints' current behavior does not look like they stole the blood evil flag.
But no one can guarantee the real situation. It is reasonable for the Mingde Chief to be wary of him now.
Besides, these seven great saints can betray the Great Free Demon Sect, and how loyal are they to the Immortal Sect?
The Xuanwei Five Sects will probably never regard the demon clan as their own.
Even if the Mingde Chief has a way to deal with the Great Free Demon Ancestor, he will not say it in front of this person.
Seeing this, Qingyun Great Sage looked around the people in the hall. Seeing that no one spoke for him, his face became even more sad. He sighed lightly, but put away his anxiety and said, "I know that everyone thinks that the seven great saints are two-faced..."
"But if it weren't so, my demon race wouldn't have survived until today."
Qingyun Great Sage's tone didn't know whether it meant more explanation or more anger.
"In the Xuanwei Realm, the human race is respected. How dare we, the demon race, be the first to stand out? The immortal gate treats us like pigs and dogs. Does the Great Free Demon Ancestor really treat us as his humerus?"
"My demon race has long lost its fundamental law, like a pile of loose sand. The Great Free Demon Ancestor wants to cultivate a team. How dare we resist?"
"For several epochs, the first to suffer, which time wasn't my demon race?"
I understand that Qingyun Great Sage's defense is just saying one thing - the seven great saints acted like this just to seek a way out.
The Great Free Demon Ancestor is here. Their surname is Great Freedom.
The Great Free Demon Ancestor is dead, and they are the loyal friends of the Immortal Sect.
"First Master, the old people of my demon clan said that the Supreme Dao has a long history and should know the history of my demon clan best, and know our situation even better..." Qingyun Great Sage looked at Mingde First Master, and said earnestly, "Now that my seven great saints have betrayed the Great Free Demon Ancestor, it is impossible for them to betray the Five Sects of Xuanwei again!"
After hearing this, Mingde First Master bowed his head and pondered for a while. After a long time, he looked at Qingyun Great Sage, and did not say whether he believed it or not, but only asked one sentence: "Tell me the truth, have you seven great saints practiced the method of the Great Free Demon Ancestor?"
"...No..."
Mingde First Master closed his eyes.
"Yes! Yes!" Great Sage Qingyun was anxious, "We have to refine the treasures of the Seven Holy Heavens to control the Seven Holy Heavens, so we have practiced a secret method!"
"But we don't have the blood of the Great Free Demon Ancestor, and we have never learned the fundamental method of the demon sect."
"Is this... a problem?"
The eyes of the chief seat Mingde suddenly became pity. He looked at the Great Sage Qingyun, and there was a sigh in his tone: "In this case, I can't trust you seven great saints."
"Why..."
"You demons have lost the fundamental method, and the iron rules of cultivating immortals have never been passed down?"
The tone of the chief seat Mingde was full of surprise, as if he thought the seven great saints were a little unintelligent.
Practice the iron rules?
Zheng Fa looked up and looked at the gods in the hall, and found that the faces of the people of the five Xuanwei sects were all clear.
So I and this miserable Great Sage Qingyun are sitting at the same table?
"May I ask, First Lord, what is the iron rule of cultivation?"
"The so-called iron rule is just a name we give it. In fact, there is no clear text in the immortal sect..." First Lord Mingde looked at the bewildered Zheng Fa, and seemed to explain to him, "Iron rules are some rules that can never be violated on the road to cultivation - at least no one has violated them successfully."
Zheng Fa and Senior Sister Zhang looked at each other and listened attentively.
"The most widely spread and the most certain one." First Lord Mingde suddenly raised his eyes and glanced at Xie Qingxue, with a deep meaning in his eyes, "A cultivator cannot betray his own law lineage."
"Cannot betray? Law lineage?"
Not only Zheng Fa seemed to understand this, but even the Great Sage Qingyun was also confused.
"Law lineage is the inheritance of the great cultivator, or in other words, the fundamental law. My five sects and thirteen demon sects each have their own law lineage." First Lord Mingde looked at the Great Sage Qingyun and shook his head, "The secret method of refining the cave heaven method, if it comes from the Great Free Demon Ancestor..."
Now, everyone understood.
Zheng Fa understood many things in his heart:
The experience of Tianhe Patriarch.
The "Nine-Turn Golden Elixir Method" with only the catalogue left in the rock.
He was more and more grateful for his caution - not only did he not try to learn from the "Nine-Turn Golden Elixir Method", he had not even read the secret method of the Great Free Demon Patriarch.
But on the other hand, he was a little confused, and this confusion made him unable to help but ask: "What is a great cultivator? Can the skills created by everyone become a legal system? Then can't the great power that created the path of cultivating immortals control the cultivators in the world?"
When the head of Mingde saw that he was asking, he did not hide it and explained directly: "Let's talk about the last question first. The great power that created the path of cultivating immortals has not appeared in the world..."
"Not appeared in the world?",
Zheng Fa was even more surprised. Does it mean that there is really such a person? And he is not dead?
"We don't even know how many great men have created the method of cultivating immortals, but one thing is very clear, those who have achieved the Dao fruit will not die. You ask what a great cultivator is. In the eyes of my five sects, those who have achieved the Dao fruit are those who have achieved the Dao fruit."
"So, we think they are not dead."
After hearing this, Zheng Fa asked again: "Dao fruit?"
"To achieve the Dao fruit is to become an immortal." The head of Mingde thought for a while and explained, "The cultivation realms of the major sects are different, but they are similar. I only say that I am the Supreme Dao."
"At the beginning, there are three realms: foundation building, golden elixir, and primordial infant. We call them the three realms of transformation."
"Subsequently, there are three realms: transformation of spirit, yang spirit, and corpse transformation. These are the three realms of ascending to immortality."
"After corpse transformation, you will become an immortal and achieve the Dao fruit."
"Chengkong is the yang spirit, and I have now entered the corpse transformation."
The head of Mingde explained with sincerity. It was the first time that Zheng Fa understood the full picture of cultivation.
"Daoguo, oh, there are six realms before becoming an immortal?"
Xie Qingxue spoke: "In fact, the five sects of Xuanwei are all like this, but the fundamental laws of each sect are different."
Zheng Fa glanced at Xie Qingxue. He was a little curious. Where did the Tianhe Sect get the fundamental law, the Tianhe Venerable?
This didn't seem to make sense. After all, the Tianhe Sect was full of traitors and had betrayed the Tianhe Venerable long ago.
"So the Great Free Demon Ancestor is an immortal?" Qingyun Great Sage understood. He swayed his body and seemed to be quite shocked. "If we practice that secret law, we can't resist?"
"I don't know, but it's very likely."
Indeed, the things of the Great Free Demon Ancestor are not so easy to get?
No matter how much the seven great saints calculated, there was a difference in strength after all.
To be honest, this matter can't be blamed entirely on the seven great saints-if the Nether Immortal died, at least they would not be as desperate as they are now.
"What if it's not?" Qingyun Great Sage's eyes were full of hope again. He looked at the Mingde First Seat as if he wanted to ask for a life-saving straw.
"There is another iron rule of cultivation..."
"Hmm?"
"Only Dao fruit can counter Dao fruit."
"..."
Qingyun Great Sage's face gradually turned pale. He looked at Mingde First Lord. Mingde First Lord closed his eyes and said no more.
He laughed bitterly, as if he understood the despair in this sentence.
Zheng Fa shook his head secretly. According to Mingde First Lord, the demon race has no fundamental law.
In other words, there is no Dao fruit.
In this way, there is no other way to deal with the Great Free Demon Ancestor.
Unless the Five Sects of Xuanwei are willing to take action, but Mingde First Lord obviously does not trust them, a group of demons who have practiced secret methods.
"In this case, then... Thank you for telling me, Qingyunzi... Goodbye!"
The hall was silent for a whole stick of incense, and no one spoke. Finally, it was the voice of Qingyun Great Sage that broke the silence in the hall. He bowed to Mingde First Lord, walked out of the hall, and flew straight to the seaside.
Zheng Fa looked at his resolute back, and felt a little depressed.
He didn't like Qingyun Great Sage very much. When the demons broke through the Hundred Immortals Alliance, they killed and injured quite a few mortal monks. Even if Qingyun Great Sage handed over a few demons, could it be smoothed over?
Everyone has their own judgment criteria, but Zheng Fa knows that there is no way to smooth over the dead.
Even at this time, there was nothing to sympathize with the Seven Great Sages:
They were just going to die, but the millions of people on the island were already dead.
He couldn't sympathize with them.
Zheng Fa felt depressed because he seemed to have seen a more tragic world, a world where even the seven great saints, who were in a state of panic, were in a state of panic.
The silence in the hall became heavier.
"In fact, there is a way to deal with it." Mingde Chief suddenly said.
Zheng Fa looked up and saw that Mingde Chief's eyes and face did not look like the worry just now.
He didn't know whether it was to encourage everyone or he was really confident, but there was a smile on his face.
"When the spiritual energy is declining, there must be people who have achieved the Tao Fruit in the world. The Great Free Demon Ancestor is actually the weakest person who has achieved the Tao Fruit."
"..."
The Yao Chi Hua Shen also nodded at this moment: "The Great Free Demon Ancestor was killed by the Tianhe Venerable once. Now that the followers of the Great Free Demon Sect are dying, there is probably nothing he can do about his resurrection."
After hearing this, Zheng Fa hurriedly asked: "The people who have achieved the Tao Fruit will not die, but the Taoism cannot be destroyed?"
A trace of admiration flashed across the face of the Mingde Chief, who seemed to appreciate Zheng Fa's sharpness: "That's right, otherwise, if the Great Free Demon Ancestor's body is annihilated, he will never descend to Xuanwei."
In this way, the Great Free Demon Ancestor is really unlucky.
When the spirit cave was born, it probably aroused the Great Free Demon Ancestor's sense of crisis, fearing that his followers would be destroyed by the Xuanwei Immortal Sect.
That's why he was eager to descend to the world.
When the Mingde Chief said that this person was the weakest, it was probably not self-consolation.
In troubled times, only those who have little capital will take action first.
After first belittling the Great Free Demon Ancestor, the Mingde Chief looked at Xie Qingxue and said, "The Great Sage Qingyun was here just now, so I couldn't say it clearly. Although we don't have anyone who has achieved the Dao Fruit, a Dao Fruit doesn't necessarily mean he is a human!"
Zheng Fa suddenly remembered Wu Zhi's words at the time, Qingjing Bamboo was the Taoist Fruit of a Buddha!
Sure enough, the leader of Mingde also talked about the quiet bamboo.
"Quiet Bamboo is the most powerful way to restrain the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor. We don't expect to be able to kill the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor again, but we can protect ourselves."
His voice was full of regret.
"cough……"
Beside Xie Qingxue, Yan Wushuang coughed lightly and couldn't help but look at Zheng Fa.
Zheng Fa quickly lowered his head. This guy was a little out of sorts.
He turned his head and glanced at Senior Sister Zhang. Both of them knew that if the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor really came, the people of the Five Xuanwei Sects would still have to be saved.
Not to mention moral injustice.
If you save it, you may offend the Leiyin Temple family. If you don't save it, what will the other four sects think of the Jiushan Sect in the future?
"But without the Quiet Bamboo, we are not without the power to contend with the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor!"
The voice of Chief Mingde rang again. Zheng Fa looked up and saw Chief Mingde looking at Xie Qingxue's waist... the Immortal Sword.
"Xie Xianzi, your Tianhe sect's skills are very special, and this Qingping Sword is the sword carried by Lord Tianhe." The leader of Mingde is the leader of Taishang Dao, and he seems to know the Tianhe sect very well: "What do you think? Sword Master Qingping, if he merges with the sword, he might also have the power of Dao Fruit?"
No, is this sister so strong?
But once he saw the eyes of Chief Mingde, Zheng Fa understood - Xie Qingxue was strong, but the one who was really powerful had to be the Qingping Sword!
"I need all kinds of elixirs."
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
As soon as Xie Qingxue said these words, everyone's faces were filled with joy.
These words are enough to show the confidence of Senior Sister Tianhe.
Everyone was happy, but Xie Qingxue frowned and looked at the leader of Mingde: "If there is a treasure of enlightenment, I also hope to borrow it."
"Huh?" When Chief Mingde heard this somewhat abrupt request, he was not only not angry, but also very happy, "Xie Xianzi, do you have hope of reaching a higher level?"
Xie Qingxue nodded with determination in her eyes.
"Okay!" Xie Qingxue needs to do her best now, and the leader of Mingde is obviously not stingy. He said directly, "We have all the treasures in the treasure house of the Hundred Immortals Alliance. If Fairy Xie needs it, I will never refuse!"
Zheng Fa was very envious after hearing this.
It’s better to go to a large sect!
Xie Qingxue had the Qingping Sword, and with just three words, Chief Mingde opened the storage bag for her!
He looked at Xie Qingxue and saw that Yan Wushuang next to him was acting very strangely.
This guy first looked at Mingde's first seat for a long time, then looked back at his senior sister, frowning, as if he felt a little confused.
Then, he set his sights on the Qingping Sword again, scratched his head, and suddenly looked at Zheng Fa, finally clarifying the relationship between the characters.
Seeing his expression, Zheng Fa also felt baffled——
The leader of Mingde said Qingjingzhu, just look at me.
Say Qing Pingjian, are you looking at me again?
What does this have to do with me?
…
The Great Sage Qingyun was filled with grief, anger, and determination, and he spread out his light and flew towards the sea.
Although the demon clan does not have immortals, it still has some background. He knows a few ancient demons that have even lived for several epochs. I am afraid they also have ways to protect themselves in the catastrophe:
If it doesn't work, go and join them!
The five Xuanwei sects are unreliable, and our demon clan is not without support either!
The Seven Great Sages also have backbone!
He had a good plan in mind. As soon as he arrived at the beach, he immediately stopped escaping.
The sea in front of us has changed!
He stood in the air, staring blankly at the sea.
Boom, boom, boom.
The muffled sound sounded like someone beating a drum.
The sound was very small at first, almost inaudible.
Later, it gradually grew louder and became louder than the sound of the ocean tide and all sounds in the world.
It seemed like the only thing left in the world was this muffled sound of "dong dong dong".
Great Sage Qingyun only felt that his body was inexplicably hot, and he even felt like tearing his chest to pieces, taking out his internal organs and blowing in the sea breeze.
But his heart gradually grew cold.
The sea is also cold.
I don't know when, the sea water that hit the table slowly turned red, rich, viscous, and had an inexplicable but creepy aroma.
The Great Sage Qingyun flew back desperately.
On the red sea, the sun suddenly sets, and a moon, a black crescent moon, cuts across the skyline and leaps into the sky.
The black moonlight illuminated the backs of two respectfully bowed figures in the red sea.
Boom, boom, boom.
The muffled drum sound became louder and louder, and the black moonlight seemed to be shrinking.
The sea water is like blood, slowly rising up to the black moon.
heart!
Only then did Great Sage Qingyun understand that the moon was actually a heart!
As the seawater poured in little by little, the black crescent moon slowly became rounded. After becoming a full moon, it suddenly shrank and then exploded.
A figure that he dared not look directly at appeared in the void.
The sky was bright again, the sea was blue again, and all the weird scenery disappeared, but the great sage Qingyun was even more frightened. He turned around and flew towards Tongming Mountain.
Mingde leader, help!
…
The Demon Ancestor of Freedom glanced at the escape light thousands of miles away and didn't care. He stepped down from the void and looked at the two people kneeling on the ground.
Two people...
"Where are the others?"
"Holy Ancestor, they have returned to the sea of blood."
Nether Immortal replied cautiously.
The Great Freedom Demon Ancestor froze and closed his eyes gently, as if he was realizing something. After a long time, he said: "All dead?"
"yes!"
Nether Immortal still didn't dare to raise his head, and even Chen Ting buried his head in the soil.
"I, the Great Zi Zai, descendant of hundreds of millions of bloodlines, are you two the only ones left?" The Great Zi Zai Demon Ancestor looked intently at the two people in front of him, and frowned again when he saw Netherworld Immortal, "You are not mine. Bloodline?"
"no!"
Immortal Netherworld trembled all over, as if a little frightened, and explained: "I admire the Holy Ancestor's teachings and switch to the Holy Religion."
Demon Ancestor Da Zi looked at Netherworld Immortal for a while, and seemed to finally wake up from his deep sleep. He nodded slowly and said: "I remember you, you are too righteous..."
He looked at Chen Ting again.
He doesn't seem to know this person very well.
Chen Ting also had a look of nervousness on his face. He was jumping in front of the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor. If there was no other way, who would dare to appear in front of this person!
Seeing him like this, Demon Ancestor Da Zizi seemed to be a little suspicious, but he couldn't remember anything. Suddenly, a faint light shot out from his eyes and enveloped Chen Ting.
Chen Ting felt like his soul was being torn apart, and his mind was filled with chaos. Only a black talisman was slowly flying at the bottom of the sea of consciousness.
After a long while, the Demon Ancestor of Freedom nodded slowly: "Pure bloodline, innocent birth."
After all, he didn't care about Chen Ting, who was panting on the ground. This person was only a golden elixir practitioner. If there weren't only two people here, he wouldn't have given this person a second look.
…
"How is the situation in Xuanwei now?"
Demon Ancestor Da Zizi asked Netherworld Immortal.
"This time to introduce the Holy Ancestor, we not only encountered the obstruction of the five Xuanwei Sects, but even the demon clan betrayed the Holy Religion. Now the Great Freedom has been lost..."
"It doesn't matter, Da Zi Tian." Da Zi Zai Demon Ancestor nodded gently, as if he didn't care that he lost his lair.
"Tell me about the five Xuanwei sects."
Immortal Netherworld talked about the gods of the five Xuanwei sects.
"Qingping Sword?"
Demon Ancestor Da Zizi had a leisurely look on his face, but when he heard the word Qingping Sword, he interrupted Nether Immortal's words and asked again: "Qingping Sword of Tianhe?"
Nether Immortal nodded.
The Demon Ancestor of Freedom raised his head and looked in the direction of Tongming Mountain, with some fear in his eyes.
"Demon Ancestor?"
"Are there any other powerful people?"
The Great Freedom Demon Ancestor asked again.
"There is... there is another force. Although it is not the Xuanwei Five Sects, it is still a bit weird." Nether Immortal was silent for a while, as if he didn't know how to speak, and then slowly said.
"Um?"
"Holy Ancestor, I wonder if you still remember Zheng Fa of the Nine Mountains Sect?"
The Demon Ancestor Da Zi thought for a while before nodding: "The theory of the Three Son Talisman is very interesting."
"Then Jiu Shan Sect now has a cave world called Jiu Shan Realm."
Demon Ancestor Da Zizi's face became a little more serious.
"The demon clans you cultivated, Holy Ancestor, seem to have been blocked by the Nine Mountain Realm. Even... two gods died. Also, when you first introduced the Demon Ancestor, Zheng Fa also used an inexplicable way. Using his own methods, he took away the Blood Fiend Flag."
Demon Ancestor Dazui slowly closed his eyes, and after a while he opened his eyes and said, "The Blood River is still alive, and Jiao Wuji seems to be there too."
He seems to have a fairly clear understanding of the transformation gods under his command.
"Have they betrayed the Holy Ancestor?"
Nether Immortal shouted softly.
"Ha..." The Demon Ancestor Da Zi rolled up his sleeves and flew towards Tongming Mountain with the two of them, seemingly not worried about the Qingping Sword at all.
"Holy Ancestor? That Qingping Sword?"
"Tai Shang Dao is used to beating the young ones until they are old." It seemed that there were only two believers left, which made the Demon Ancestor of Freedom have some patience, and he even opened his mouth to explain, "I just came into the world, it's best to catch Tai Shang Dao by surprise. …”
"Although the Qingping Sword is sharp, it is not enough to make me afraid of a person who has just become a god..."
"I am missing a second fairy sword..."
Netherworld Immortal was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that in addition to wanting to eliminate the threat, Demon Ancestor Da Zi also wanted to steal the Tianhe Sect's treasure.
"Then Zheng Fa...is also somewhat interesting."
The next whisper from Demon Ancestor Da Zi made him feel puzzled again.
Nether Immortal looked down at himself, then turned to look at Chen Ting who was also shocked and confused, thinking secretly:
Is it because they are the only two men under his command that this Demon Ancestor is so thirsty for talents?
However, this person actually vaguely compares Zheng Fa and Qing Pingjian?
Is it so difficult to guess the thoughts of Demon Ancestor...
