For an orthodox sect, inner disciples mean the backbone, while direct descendants mean the peak power. "Ya*wen*yan*qing*first*post" Although most of the wars are fought by the inner disciples, the decisive victory or defeat still comes from the strength of the direct descendants. Direct disciples mean the future of a sect, and selecting the most outstanding among them to inherit the sect is often a long-term and arduous task.
The succession of any sect cannot be that the sect leader just points out a disciple before he dies, and then he takes over. This is a long process. First of all, the heir must be a direct descendant, and must have the strength to suppress all other brothers, and even the strength to suppress all living elders. Secondly, he must have a certain amount of power accumulation, and it also takes time to adapt to this kind of power. The contemporary sect master will help him complete all this until he successfully grows into a giant of demons who can stand alone.
This is the significance of being the first person to inherit the throne.
Yun Qing participated in the Underworld Holy Meeting once. In her opinion, all demonic leaders are still in their prime, and there is no need to select successors at this juncture. But now, except for the Six Paths of Yama Sect, all other sects have decided on the candidates for their first direct successor. This is probably closely related to the war situation in the past ten years.
The current demonic behavior is quite radical, and with its unrelenting expansion comes huge risks.
Having a Divine Vein in the West Sea is enough to give people a headache, not to mention that it is also adjacent to the two continents Beichuan and Nanfeng, so Shiwandashan and Lutiantan may intervene in the battle here at any time. Not to mention Donghai, there was only one Zhu Wuxia carrying him from beginning to end. Now that Immortal Qingxuzi is leading his army south, Ghost Dao and Human Dao are also interested in entering the Penglai region. It can be said that the East China Sea is also in danger.
Once the war situation deteriorates, these nine demonic sect masters may directly intervene and then bring the level of battle directly to their own generation. As long as there is a fight, there will be casualties, so choosing the first successor now is a precautionary measure. If something unexpected happens to these sect leaders, then the sect can smoothly transition to the next generation of disciples without any major changes.
The Six Paths of Yama Sect must be under great pressure now. The nine major demon sects have always been indifferent to each other and share the same hatred and hatred. To a certain extent, the selection of the first successor also represents the determination of several sect leaders to die as martyrs. Among the nine sects, only Demon Lord Qian Yuan has been hesitant to decide on this matter. This will somewhat make the other demon sects feel grudged and is not conducive to the unity among the demon sects. Therefore, the Great Elder Yi Du has pressed harder and harder in the past few years, but Demon Lord Qian Yuan has not given in at all in the face of pressure from inside and outside the sect. He is trying to buy Yun Qing some time.
Of course Yun Qing would not think about the question "Why did it have to be her?" In fact, she had already begun to think about the pros and cons of becoming the orthodox successor of the Demonic Way. Putting aside the benefits, just the fact that "the loser bows his head and surrenders" is enough for Yun Qing to decide to give it a try. After all, this is not a peaceful and prosperous age. The sect, which is deep in war, needs someone who is the leader and someone who obeys orders.
As for the benefits of becoming the leader of the Six Paths of Yama Demon Sect... Yun Qing also really needs an identity that allows her to seize the inheritance of other sects openly and openly.
Yun Qing bowed deeply to Demon Lord Cuyuan, and then solemnly said: "I will definitely live up to Master's expectations. en8."
"You have failed me many times, and I don't expect you to be able to do it this time." Demon Lord Qianyuan sneered, and Yun Qing suddenly felt embarrassed. It was not just once or twice that she annoyed Demon Lord Qianyuan. It can be said that she His reputation has always been the lowest among all direct descendants.
"Ahem, this..." Yun Qing tried to explain for himself, but he was always at a loss for words in front of such Demon Lord Qian Yuan, "I'm serious this time."
Across the Ten Thousand Demons Map, Yun Qing didn't know what Demon Lord Qianyuan was looking like, but the sound was not very pleasant. He said: "You should have some knowledge in your mind. I brought up those senior sisters and brothers, and none of them are inferior to you."
"I hope Master can give me some advice." Yun Qing has been living alone on Wangyue Peak before she entered Taoism. Among the direct descendants of this generation, she is the only one who is familiar with Qian Bian. Qian Bian took the initiative to approach her, and the others are basically just acquaintances with her. The punishment for private fights between direct descendants was very heavy, and she really had no chance to get to know the strength of those senior sisters and brothers in depth.
"Do you know Xiao Yuanman?" Demon Lord Qian Yuan began to explain to her the divisions of some realms, and Yun Qing was very interested in this.
Yun Qing replied smoothly: "Well, after entering the Tao and becoming the Tao seed, the Tao seed transforms into the Tao stem, which can be called Little Perfection. When the Tao stem matures, it can be combined with the Tao. When the Tao stem is matured, it can achieve the holy status."
This was what the Imperial Master told her ten years ago. She is now in the process of just entering the Tao, slowly realizing it, and gradually taking shape.
Demon Lord Qian Yuan nodded with satisfaction, and continued: "Do you know what He Dao uses to combine?"
Yun Qing thought to herself, isn't this nonsense? Of course, it is combined with "Tao". But she immediately realized that since there is a combined way, it means that there is not just one "way", but two or more.
"Multiple ways combined into one?" Yun Qing was not sure. She suddenly felt that the relationship between the two of them now seemed to be like passing on the teachings.
Demon Lord Qianyuan corrected him: "Use multiple ways to combine your own way. Before you combine the way, everything you practice does not belong to you, but is the result of your predecessors. After you combine the way, you have your own way. . And the process of Small Consummation can also be subdivided, and each Taoist tradition has different opinions. The more commonly used ones are three hearts, two minds, and unification."
"Three refers to a general term, which means that you must cultivate three or more orthodox inheritances to Dacheng. At this time, you can also be considered as stepping into the threshold of Small Consummation."
It is not easy to cultivate any kind of orthodox inheritance to great success, let alone three kinds? Yun Qing's current situation is that he has a small amount of success in the Great Sun and Black Heaven Wheel, the Six Paths of Inanimate Wheel and the Yama's Breaking Delusion Wheel have just started, and as for the Marrow Cleansing Sutra and the Gentleman's Qianyuan Dao, he has not even started yet.
Demon Lord Qianyuan continued: "Your two senior sisters, Qi Ji and Gui Meng, are both in this realm. The Shenyin Monei Daozi you met last time is also probably in the Three Mind Realm. You can figure it out yourself. The rest is The two meanings are more difficult to understand, and the divisions are different in many places. It probably means that one can fully understand the positive and negative sides of a Tao, such as yin and yang, life and death. In this realm of your senior brother Linjun, senior sister Su Xin Also, if you want to be better than them, you must at least break through to the second artistic conception."
Yun Qing nodded. Although Demon Lord Qian Yuan explained it in detail, it was not so easy to truly understand it. Yun Qing could only realize that she was the weakest among all the direct descendants.
"Where's Guiyi?" Yun Qing asked.
"That is to say, returning to unity means merging all inheritances and the positive and negative sides of these inheritances into one, integrating them into one body, and building a Taoist stem. The things here are very complicated, and practitioners who are also at the same level of returning to unity may be because of the union. The strength of Daogan varies greatly, but there is no doubt that they absolutely suppress practitioners below this level. From now on, Qing Xuzi of Shenyin Sect must be in Guiyi Realm, Guiling If Si Fengxian hadn't been hindered by Fire Phoenix, she would probably be in this realm, and there is Zhu Wuxia, she is not much different from Hu Hanmei, and she is considered a leader even in this realm."
"Where are you, Master?" Yun Qing asked smoothly.
Demon Lord Qian Yuan paused for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "I have broken through and returned to unity!"
"That's not right, wouldn't it mean that after being unified, one would become a saint?" Yun Qing was a little confused.
Demon Lord Qian Yuan was a little helpless: "After the union, you will become the Dao. After the union, you must form the Dao fruit to become a saint. And there is only one saint... Since there is already a demon saint, then everyone can You have to be stuck in this realm.”
Although Yun Qing doesn't quite understand the reason behind this, he also has a general understanding of those high-level practitioners. It seems that there is an advantage to hearing the Tao early. Those saints stopped on the Tao and immediately blocked the way for so many people.
"So, to become a saint, the current saint must be killed?" Yun Qing boldly asked this very critical question, which as expected made Demon Lord Qianyuan look black.
"Shut up. If you keep talking, your legs will be broken by the devil saint. No one in this world can kill the saint, except the saint himself."
Yun Qing couldn't stop her curiosity. She eagerly wanted to know how the current saints reached this level: "Can you give me an example?"
Demon Lord Qianyuan was silent for a while, but he didn't even scold Yun Qing, because he really knew such an example.
Yun Qing was keenly aware of his thoughts and shamelessly urged: "Master, you can tell me quietly. Really, I won't tell anyone."
Demon Lord Qianyuan was disgusted by her for a moment, and then said: "Actually, it's nothing, it's something that the older generation knows. The human saint came from Moling a thousand years ago, and he died at the hands of the immortal saint today... It should be said, Now this Immortal Saint is the only Saint Killer in the world."
This answer is consistent with some things Yun Qing knows.
According to Xie Yao, only saints can open up a small world. Therefore, when Mo Ling was defeated and then founded his own small world, there was probably a saint of humanity who helped him. But based on the opinions of the demonic saints and the Buddhist saints, the current humanistic saints have attained Taoism for more than a hundred years, and they are juniors. He should not be the humanistic saint who opened up the small world for Mo Ling a thousand years ago. Something must have happened in these thousands of years to allow the new and old generations of saints to complete the replacement. The fall of the saint will definitely cause a lot of noise. After thinking about it, the biggest noise in the past millennium is nothing but the Battle of Heaven.
The two opposing sides in the Battle of Qingtian are the Immortal Way and the Human Way. Since the Human Way Saint has fallen, no matter how you look at it, it is all the work of the Immortal Way Saint.
Yun Qing remembered that the Immortal Saint said that his injury had not healed, so he maintained the appearance of a boy. Now it seems that this injury is inseparable from the Battle of Heaven.
"These have nothing to do with you for the time being. Demonic Saints have their own discretion when it comes to holy status. You'd better not have any other ideas." Demon Lord Qianyuan warned. He thought about it and then added uneasily, "You are now The most urgent task is to cultivate the three rounds to perfection, and then break through the two thoughts in one fell swoop.”
Yun Qing nodded honestly: "I will go back to retreat right now."
"Still in seclusion! After ten years of seclusion, there has only been so little progress. You should look for more reasons!" Demon Lord Chuyuan hates the fact that iron cannot become steel. What he said is right. Although Yun Qing has solved his mental problems in the past ten years , and by the way, the holy body of Yama was also moved away for a short distance, but there was no progress at all in the realm.
Yun Qing was waiting for his words. Since Demon Lord Qian Yuan could win these seven years for her, there must be a way to guide her to make rapid progress within seven years.
"This disciple is stupid and cannot attain the Tao after more than a hundred years like a human sage..." Yun Qing accepted the rebuke calmly. Her cultivation speed seems to be very fast, but in fact it is still far behind those amazingly talented people. Not to mention the completely surreal existence of the Humanity Saint, the Le Shu he brought out alone can perform at twelve levels. Zhu Wuxia entered the Dao at a young age, while in the Demon Dao, Zhu Wuxia entered the realm of unity before he was a hundred years old and was invincible among his peers.
"Huang Quan, accumulation in practice must rely on seclusion, but breakthrough requires enlightenment. Your accumulation is enough, and your state of mind is nothing to criticize. You need an opportunity to break through this bottleneck." Demon Lord Qianyuan sighed, he The vicissitudes of life in the voice became more and more obvious.
There was silence between the two of them for a while, and Yun Qing replied after a long time: "Disciple is willing to go through disasters, understand his true intention, and overcome obstacles."
"You have such a good intention." Demon Lord Chuyuan was very relieved. He walked out from the barrier, wearing a black Taoist robe that was quite similar to Yun Qing.
Yun Qing saw that his temples were slightly white, showing that he was getting older. She must have been in a bad situation in the Six Paths of Yama Sect in the ten years since she left.
"Huang Quan, if you lose everything, you will know the meaning of it all. When all the ways are gone, you will know what the way belongs to you." Demon Lord Qianyuan smiled gently and walked straight to In front of her, Yun Qing put his hand on her shoulder with a somewhat puzzled expression.
Like an ordinary father, he bowed slightly and then gently touched Yun Qing's head.
"Go to the world of mortals. Everything you don't understand is hidden there."
