For an orthodox sect, inner disciples mean the backbone, while direct inheritance means the peak power. Although most of the battles were fought by inner disciples, the decisive victory or defeat came from the strength of the direct descendants. Succession of disciples means the future of a sect, and selecting the most outstanding one to inherit the sect is often a long-term and arduous task.
The succession of any sect cannot be that the suzerain just pointed at a disciple before his death, and then he ascended to the throne. This is a long process. First of all, this heir must be a direct descendant, and have the strength to suppress all other senior brothers, and even have the strength to suppress all living elders. Secondly, he must have accumulated a certain amount of power, and he needs time to adapt to this kind of power. The contemporary suzerain will help him accomplish all this until he grows into a master of magic that can be alone.
This is the meaning of inheriting the first seat.
Yun Qing participated in the Underworld Holy Meeting once. In her opinion, all the leaders of the Demonic Dao are still in their prime, and there is absolutely no need to select a successor at this juncture. But now except for Liudao Yan Mozong, all other sects have determined the first candidate for the succession, which may have a lot to do with the war situation in the past ten years.
Now the behavior of the magic way is quite radical, and with the indomitable expansion comes huge risks.
The fact that Xihai has a Heaven-reaching Divine Vein is enough to cause headaches, not to mention that it is adjacent to two continents, Beichuan and Nanfeng. In this way, Shiwandashan and Lutian Temple may also intervene in the battle here at any time. Not to mention Donghai, there was only one Zhu Wuxia carrying it from beginning to end. Now Qingxuzi of Xiandao is leading his army to the south, and Ghost Dao and Human Dao are also intending to enter the Penglai domain. It can be said that the East China Sea is also in jeopardy.
Once the situation in the battle deteriorates, these nine Demon Dao Sect Masters may directly intervene, and then directly pull the level of the battle between their generation. As long as there is a fight, there will be casualties, so choosing the first seat of the direct succession now can be regarded as a rainy day. If any accident happened to their suzerains, then the sect could smoothly transition to the next generation of disciples without any major changes.
Now Liudaoyan Mozong must be under a lot of pressure. The nine great demon sects have always been indifferent to each other, and they share the same hatred. To some extent, the selection of the first one also represents the determination of several suzerains to die with their own lives. Among the nine sects, only Mozun Qianyuan has been hesitant to decide on this matter, which will somewhat make other demon sects feel bad, and is not conducive to the unity among demon sects. So in the past few years, Great Elder Yi Du has been pressing harder and harder, but Qianyuan Mozun is steadfast in the face of pressure from inside and outside the sect, and he is buying time for Yun Qing.
Of course Yun Qing would not think about the question of "Why does it have to be her?" In fact, she has already begun to think about the pros and cons of becoming the orthodox successor of the Demon Dao. Leaving aside the benefits, just the "loser bows down" is enough for Yun Qing to decide to fight. After all, this is not a peaceful and prosperous age. The clan that is deeply in war needs leaders and people who obey orders.
As for the benefits of becoming the suzerain of the Six Paths Yama Sect... Yun Qing also really needs an identity that allows her to grab the inheritance of other orthodox traditions openly.
Yun Qing bowed deeply to Demon Venerable Zhu Yuan, and then solemnly said: "I will definitely live up to Master's expectations."
"You have failed my expectations many times, and I didn't expect you to do it this time." Mozun Qianyuan sneered, and Yun Qing was suddenly embarrassed. It was true that she annoyed Mozun Qianyuan once or twice. His credit has always been the lowest among all direct descendants.
"Cough, this..." Yun Qing tried to explain for herself, but she was always at a loss for words in front of such a Qian Yuan Mozun, "This time I'm serious."
Across the map of ten thousand demons, Yun Qing didn't know what Qianyuan Mozun's expression was like, but listening to the voice was not very pleasant. He said: "You should have some sense in your heart. Those senior sisters and senior brothers were also brought up by me, and none of them are inferior to you."
"I still hope Master will give you some guidance." Yun Qing lived alone on Moon Moon Peak before she entered Taoism. Among the descendants of this generation, she is the only one who is familiar with Qian Bian. This is because Qian Bian took the initiative to approach her. The others are basically nodding acquaintances with her. Private fights between direct descendants were punished heavily, and she really didn't have the opportunity to deeply understand the strength of those senior sisters and senior brothers.
"Xiao Yuanyuan, do you know?" Mozun Qianyuan began to explain some divisions of realms to her, and Yun Qing was very interested in this.
Yun Qing replied smoothly: "Well, if you enter the Tao and become the Dao Seed, the Dao Seed will transform into the Dao Stem and you will be called a small consummation. If the Dao Stem matures, you will join the Dao, and if you join the Dao and become the Dao Fruit, you will be able to achieve the holy position."
This is what the national teacher told her ten years ago. She herself is now in the process of just entering the Tao, slowly enlightening the Tao, and gradually taking shape of the Tao.
Qianyuan Mozun nodded in satisfaction, and he continued: "Do you know what is used to join together?"
Yun Qing thought, isn't this nonsense? Of course, it is the combination of "Tao". But she immediately realized that since there is He Dao, it means that there is not only one "Dao", but two or more.
"Combining multiple paths into one?" Yun Qing was not sure, she suddenly felt that the relationship between the two of them was a bit like teaching Dharma and karma in ordinary times.
Qianyuan Mozun corrected it: "Multiple ways are in harmony with your own way. Before you unite with the way, everything you practice does not belong to you, but the achievements of predecessors. After you unite with the way, you have your own way." .The process of Little Consummation can be subdivided, and different orthodoxys have different ways of saying it, but three-mindedness, two-mindedness, and returning to oneness are often used."
"Three is a general term, that is to say, you must cultivate three or more orthodox lineages to achieve great success. At this time, you can also be considered as stepping into the threshold of minor perfection."
It is not easy to cultivate any orthodox lineage to Dacheng, let alone three? Yun Qing's current situation is that the big sun and black sky chakra have achieved small success, the six non-living chakras and the Yanmo breaking delusion chakra have just started, and as for the marrow washing sutra and the gentleman's Qianyuan way, they have not even started.
Mozun Qianyuan went on to say: "Your two senior sisters, Qi Ji and Gui Meng, are both in this realm, and Daozi Shenyinmen you saw last time is probably in the third state of mind. You can figure it out for yourself. The rest It is difficult to understand the two meanings, and the divisions in many places are also different. It probably means that the positive and negative sides of a Tao can be understood thoroughly, such as yin and yang, life and death. Your senior brother Linjun is in this realm, and senior sister Suxin That’s right, if you want to beat them, you must at least break through to the second artistic conception.”
Yun Qing nodded, although the Demon Lord Qianyuan spoke in detail, it was not so easy to realize it. Yun Qing could only realize that she was the weakest one among all the descendants.
"What about Guiyi?" Yun Qing asked.
"That is to say, returning to one is to combine all inheritances, as well as the positive and negative sides of these inheritances, into one, and build them into one. The things in it are very complicated, and practitioners who are also in the same state of returning to one may not There is a big gap in the strength of Daogan, but there is no doubt that they are absolutely suppressing practitioners below this level. From the current point of view, the Qingxuzi from Shenyinmen must be in the same state, Guiling If Immortal Sifeng was not dragged down by the Fire Phoenix, she would probably be in this realm, and Zhu Wuxia, who is not much different from Hu Hanmei, is considered a leader even in this realm."
"Master, what about you?" Yun Qing asked casually.
Mozun Qianyuan paused, gritted his teeth and said, "I have broken through and returned to one!"
"No, isn't it the holy position after being unified?" Yun Qing was a little puzzled.
Qianyuan Mozun was a little helpless: "After returning to one, you will be united, and after joining the Tao, you must form the fruit of the Tao before you can become a saint, and there is only one holy position... Since there is already a saint of the demon way, then everyone can do it." You have to be stuck under this realm."
Although Yun Qing didn't quite understand the reason, she also had a general understanding of those high-level practitioners. It seems that those who heard the Tao early had an advantage. Those saints stopped on the road and blocked the road of so many people.
"So, in order to become a saint, the current saint must be killed?" Yun Qing boldly asked this very crucial question, and as expected, Mozun Qianyuan was ashamed.
"Shut up, if you continue talking, your leg will be broken by a demon saint. No one in this world can kill a saint, except the saint himself."
Yun Qing couldn't stop her curiosity at all, she was eager to know how the current saints reached this height: "Can you give me an example?"
Mozun Qianyuan was silent for a while, but he didn't even open his mouth to scold Yun Qing, because he really knew such an example.
Yun Qing was keenly aware of his thoughts, and urged cheekily: "Master, you can tell me quietly, really, I won't tell anyone."
Qianyuan Mozun was disgusted by her for a moment, and then said: "Actually, it's nothing, the older generation knows about it. The saint of humanity thousands of years ago came from Moling, and he died at the hands of the saint of immortality today... It should be said, Now this immortal saint is the only saint killer in the world."
This answer is also consistent with some things Yun Qing knows.
According to Xie Yao, only a saint can open up a small world, so when Mo Ling was defeated in the battle and then created a small world to support himself, there was probably a saint of humanity who helped him. However, combining the views of the demonic saints and the Buddhist saints, the current human saints have attained the Tao in more than a hundred years, and they are also juniors. The human saints who opened up the small world for Moling thousands of years ago should not be him. Something must have happened in these millennia, which allowed the old and new generations to complete the replacement. The movement of the saint's fall is definitely not small. After thinking about it, the biggest movement in the past thousand years is nothing more than the battle of the sky.
The two opposing parties in the Battle of Qingtian are Immortal Dao and Human Dao. Since the Saint of Human Dao has fallen, no matter how you look at it, it is the Saint of Immortal Dao who did it.
Yun Qing remembered that the sage of the immortal way 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 Qingtian.
"These things have nothing to do with you for the time being. The sages of the demonic way have their own sense of the holy position. You'd better not think about it." Qianyuan Mozun warned. The most urgent task now is to cultivate the three rounds to great success, and then break through the two minds in one fell swoop."
Yun Qing nodded honestly: "I'll go back to retreat now."
"Still retreating! After ten years of retreating, there is only so little progress. You should find out more reasons!" Demon Lord Zhu Yuan hated that iron cannot be made into steel, and he was right. Although Yun Qing has solved the problem of mood in the past ten years , By the way, he also walked the sacred body of Yan Mo for a short distance, but there was no progress at all in the realm.
Yun Qing was waiting for his words, since Qianyuan Mozun could win her these seven years, there must be a way to guide her to make rapid progress within seven years.
"The disciple is stupid, and he can't achieve the Tao after more than a hundred years like a sage..." Yun Qing accepted the reprimand calmly. Her cultivation speed seems to be fast, but in fact it is still a lot worse than those amazingly talented and brilliant people. Leaving aside the completely surreal existence of the Human Saint, the Leshu brought out by him alone can be used by twelve people. Entering the Dao at a young age, and the Mo Dao is not as good as Zhu Wuxia, who stepped into the unity state at the age of less than a hundred and is invincible among his peers.
"Huang Quan, the accumulation in practice must rely on retreat, but the breakthrough requires epiphany. Your accumulation is enough, and there is nothing to be picky about your state of mind. You need an opportunity to break through this bottleneck." Mozun Qianyuan sighed, and he The vicissitudes of life in the voice became more and more obvious.
There was silence between the two for a while, and Yun Qing replied after a long time: "The disciple is willing to go through the disaster, clarify his heart, and break through the pass."
"It's good that you have such a heart." Demon Venerable Zhu Yuan was very relieved, he paced 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, and he was already old. She must have been in a bad situation in the ten years since she left.
"Huang Quan, if you lose everything, you will know the meaning of it all. When all the Dao is gone, you will know what is your Dao." Qianyuan Mozun smiled gently and walked straight to In front of her, Yun Qing put his hand on her shoulder with a puzzled expression.
Like an ordinary father, he bowed slightly, and then gently touched Yun Qing's head.
"Go to the world of mortals, where everything you don't understand is hidden."
