The middle-aged man who appeared slowly approached Li Yan and continued to speak slowly.
"Before I give you your fortune, let me briefly tell you the origin of this place." Then, as Li Yan listened, the veil of the secret realm was slowly unveiled.
This secret realm is just as Li Yan sensed, the five elements of spiritual energy exist in order, arranged according to earth, gold, water, wood and fire. Its creator is Qianzhong Zhenjun, the leader of the Ji Tu Immortal Sect among the Five Immortal Sects.
This middle-aged man is the spirit of a magic weapon carried by Master Qianzhong, named Pingtu. He has followed Master Qianzhong for hundreds of thousands of years and knows a lot about the Five Immortal Sect.
True Lord Qianzhong also came to the mortal world a long time ago, with the same purpose of finding disciples to inherit the Jitu Immortal Sect.
At that time, the number of descendants of each of the five immortal sects was sparse. The Ji Earth Sect had four cultivators, the Gui Water Sect had three, the Yi Wood Sect had only two, the Ding Fire Sect had five, and the Xin Metal Sect had three.
When these people have cultivated to at least the Spirit Transformation Stage, they will choose whether to go out to look for successors to their sect. Once they reach the Fusion Stage, they must go out to help the sect find successors.
At that time, the leader of the Ji Tu Xian Sect, Qian Zhong Zhen Jun, was already in the middle stage of the fusion, and the other two people in his sect had also reached the early stage of the fusion. They kept dispersing and going out to look for the sect's successor, leaving only a cultivator in the Lianxu stage to guard the mountain gate.
At that time, the Guishui Immortal Sect was even more powerful. Among the three people, the leader, Heishui Immortal Lord, had reached the late stage of the fusion period. He was a person so powerful that even ordinary Mahayana cultivators had to be wary of him.
There are two junior brothers under the Black Water Immortal Lord. One is a cultivator who has just entered the early stage of fusion, named Shi Ligui. The other junior brother Dong Fuyi entered later, but his cultivation level is only in the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation. The same is true for other sects.
All cultivators from the Five Immortals Gate and above, after reaching the Mahayana stage, chose the Ascension Platform, or went out in search of a possible chance of ascension. However, since ancient times, all those who embarked on this path disappeared one by one, and never returned to the Five Immortals Gate.
I don’t know whether he really ascended to the true immortal realm or died and died in a foreign land.
It was only after True Lord Qianchong searched the immortal world in vain that he came to the mortal world. He stayed in the mortal world for thousands of years but still found nothing.
Because the mortal world is too large, his spiritual sense cannot cover the entire mortal world, and he cannot be sure whether there are new mortals in the places he has visited who are suitable for his own immortal gate.
So, he began to slowly control some of the high-level monks and sects in the mortal world. With his cultivation level, it was of course easy for him to do this.
True Lord Qianzhong asked the immortal cultivation families and sects in different regions to constantly search for people who met the requirements, but he himself was suppressed by the rules of heaven and earth in the mortal world, which restricted his various supernatural powers and cultivation.
If the time is too long, it will affect his own realm, so he used his great magical power to capture a piece of space from outside the stars. After being transformed by Lord Qianzhong using his great magical power, this piece of space became more like a fairyland.
The spiritual energy of the five elements is extremely rich, and underground he has drawn five earth-type top-grade spiritual veins from somewhere unknown. Practicing here for one day can achieve the result of four or five years of hard practice in the outside world.
He established a channel between this space and the mortal world, and Qian Chong Zhen Jun himself practiced in it. The cultivators in the mortal world under his control could enter the channel regularly to report to him.
If True Lord Qianzhong feels that what is said is of some value, the person who reports it can practice in the secret space for a period of time. When the first batch of cultivators who practiced here return to their families and sects, the effect they bring is like setting off a storm.
If it weren't for the supernatural powers of Lord Qianzhong that were so powerful that they couldn't even think of resisting, they would have snatched it away long ago.
As a result, the cultivators in the outside world who were under his control worked even harder to help him. Although they didn't know why this powerful man with extraordinary magical powers was looking for miscellaneous spiritual roots, no one dared to ask.
Because anyone who leaks the news or discusses it privately will disappear from the world at different times, no matter where they are.
Gradually, these messages not only included news about various spiritual roots, but also clues about various rare treasures in the world, some traces left over from ancient times, and so on, all of which would be passed on to True Lord Qianzhong.
As long as True Lord Qianzhong thinks someone is valuable, he will allow them to practice in the secret realm. Gradually, the search for miscellaneous spiritual roots became one of the various clues. This was also something True Lord Qianzhong did deliberately in order to confuse the public.
However, during those years, True Lord Qianzhong really did obtain a lot of treasures through various clues. With his cultivation in the middle stage of the fusion, as long as he took action, there would be no one in the mortal world who could be his opponent, and there would be no place he dared not go to.
Pingtu, as the spirit of the magic weapon often used by Master Qianzhong, is always by his side and knows some secrets. Of course, Master Qianzhong let him know these, otherwise he would block the perception of all spirits.
Just like that, after Qianzhong Zhenjun had been among mortals for 200,000 years, he really found a successor to his sect and secretly brought him back to be his disciple. However, the "Feiliu Sect" that passed on this news was completely wiped out overnight.
Several sects near this sect said that they seemed to have heard some explosions at night, but they were suppressed by a powerful pressure and could not go out. It was not until the next morning that some brave people slowly approached the "Fei Liu Sect". The scene they saw made them feel like they had fallen into the Shura Hell.
The once glorious, fairy-like behemoth was now, in their eyes, ruins everywhere, corpses strewn all over the ground, broken limbs and arms, intestines and brains splattered everywhere, like a huge Asura hell.
One look at the scene would make people terrified. Nothing valuable was left here, only corpses scattered all over the mountains. The attackers did not leave any trace at all. For a time, the matter became a hot topic throughout the world of immortal cultivation.
Many people believed that the Feiliu Sect had offended a powerful superpower and that was why the entire sect was massacred.
Pingtu only spoke a few words lightly about these things, but in the meantime, bloody storms were pouring down on Li Yan, and Li Yan did not say a word, but just listened quietly, which made Pingtu look at Li Yan meaningfully.
Of course Li Yan guessed that everything was done by that Qianzhong Zhenjun. All the super powers and valuable things were wiped out. It was just a fog.
If Master Qianzhong wanted to leave no trace at all, maybe that place would be like Yangchun Baixue, with everyone disappearing for no reason. Only in that way could people not associate him with it.
Pingtu looked at Li Yan for a few times and saw that he had been silent from beginning to end, so he nodded secretly.
Qian Chong Zhen Jun took great pains for this disciple. In addition to destroying the "Fei Liu Sect", he also wiped out the memories of this mixed-spiritual disciple's relatives and all the people around him, and implanted new memories. In their memories, one day a Taoist priest came to the town. After seeing this mixed-spiritual child, he insisted on following him to cultivate immortality. Then the child's parents, who were also quite wealthy in the town, begged him hard, and finally the Taoist priest reluctantly agreed.
To celebrate this occasion, they held a grand banquet in the town for three days.
But what neither the child's parents nor anyone else in the town knew was that they had never attended that banquet, and that the incident had turned into memory and dust over time.
After True Lord Qianzhong brought this disciple into the secret realm, he planned to let this disciple practice to the Nascent Soul stage, and then take him back to the fairyland. At the same time, he also began to open some areas in the secret realm.
He allowed the families and sects under his control to practice, allowing them to slowly immerse themselves in the improvement of their practice and begin to ignore and forget some things.
This small open area is confined to a certain area, and the area outside this area is a restricted area. No one is allowed to enter, otherwise their family or sect will be directly exterminated by Master Qianzhong.
But even so, those families and sects were ecstatic. They could only enter the cultivation through drawing lots or gambling. In the end, several major sects or powerful immortal cultivation families each occupied some places, where they practiced for a long time, planted herbs, made pills, raised spirit beasts, etc.
At that time, Master Qianzhong was fully focused on his disciples and didn't care about these things. If he wanted to create a secret space like this, it wouldn't be too difficult.
Moreover, he also planned to give this place to the people in the mortal world after this disciple cultivated to the Nascent Soul Stage, as a reward for these people finding a lot of treasures for him, especially for finding a successor, although the "Fei Liu Sect" no longer has any successor.
The Wheel of Life and Death is what Master Qianzhong used to hone his disciple. It is a magical weapon called the "Five Elements Dao Li Pearl".
It is a top-level magical weapon that is close to the level of an immortal weapon. It only needs to be nurtured for a million years before it can be promoted to the level of an immortal weapon. It is something that only a Mahayana cultivator can possess.
Pingtu is the spirit of the "Five Elements Dao Li Pearl". When this magic weapon was successfully refined by Qianzhong Zhenjun, it was considered a high-level magic weapon. There are many similar magic weapons in the fairy world.
However, the materials used to refine the "Five Elements Dao Li Pearl" are extremely precious. They are obtained by True Lord Qianzhong through coaxing, betting, and cheating from the other four immortal sects. These four rare items are Bei Ming Ying Water, Jingang Geng Water, Nan Li Huang Yan Water, and Qing Long Desire. He then added the thick soil from Dayi in his own sect to refine it.
If any of these five raw materials appeared in the fairy world, it would set off an endless killing and bloody storm, and even old monsters in the fusion stage would try to snatch it. At that time, when this treasure was refined, Qianchong Zhenjun was only in the initial stage of transformation.
This is undoubtedly a waste of resources in the eyes of outsiders, but it is very common in the eyes of the Five Immortals Sect. The Five Immortals Sect has its own set of ancient inheritance in the art of refining. The refined objects will continue to upgrade with the nurturing of the owner, and the magic weapon will be indefinite. Even in the top refining sects in the fairy world, there may be only some fragments of this kind of sacrificial refining technique.
"Five Elements Dao Li Pearl" is one of the two most famous magic weapons of Qianzhong Zhenjun besides his own magic weapon. It has accompanied him through countless life-and-death battles, both large and small.
It has its own space inside its body. As long as the opponent is covered by it, he will be automatically sucked into it. The person sucked in will be refined by the five elements inside. Even if you are an old monster in the fusion stage, you will not escape death.
According to Pingtu, if the "Five Elements Dao Li Pearl" can continue to be nurtured by Qianzhong Zhenjun, once it is promoted to the level of an immortal weapon, not to mention the Mahayana cultivators, even the Daluo Zhenxian would probably not be able to escape the bad luck if he was covered by it.
True Lord Qianzhong treasured the three magic weapons, including his own magic weapon, very much and nurtured them every day. During those years, he even took out the "Five Elements Dao Li Pearl" and transformed it into a wheel of life and death to hone his disciple, which shows how much he valued this disciple.
He transformed the Bei Ming Ying Shui of Gui Shui Xian Men into a huge black shadow in the sky, transformed the Nan Li Huang Yan into a huge yellow ball ten miles away, and transformed the other three materials with top-grade attributes into various means of attack.
At the same time, he also left some back doors in the Wheel of Life and Death specifically for the Five Immortal Sect disciples, so that the disciples would not just focus on fighting, but learn to think, and be good at observing and utilizing the environment.
These back doors are the shortcuts accidentally discovered by the Jindan monk of Taixuan Sect.
Just like that, True Lord Qianzhong ignored the fighting and looting among the immortal cultivators in the secret realm. Even if he knew about it, he thought that the immortal cultivators would not be able to go further without experiencing the path against the will of heaven.
Even later on, he gradually opened up more places in the secret realm, allowing these sects and immortal cultivation families to compete and reproduce there.
But decades later, when that disciple had just successfully formed his infant, Master Qianzhong was planning to take him away from here and fly to the fairyland, but one day he received a jade slip.
After seeing this, Master Qianzhong's expression became uncertain for a moment, and he remained silent for several days, as if he was thinking about something important.
So after a few days, he ordered Pingtu to stay and transform into the Wheel of Life and Death. His main task was to protect and take care of the disciple. He needed to be away for a while, and when he came back, they would return to the fairyland together.
However, he did not expect that he would never come back after he left, and that disciple, under Pingtu's care, cultivated all the way to the Spirit Transformation Stage in less than a hundred years.
However, the disciple no longer wanted to stay in this secret realm and was determined to find his master, and at the same time fulfill the Five Immortal Sect's rule of finding the next generation of successors.
After much persuasion, Pingtu still couldn't persuade him to change his mind. It happened that after the "Five Elements Dao Li Ball" was transformed into the Wheel of Life and Death, some of its rules had been changed by Qianzhong Zhenjun. With this disciple's cultivation level, he was unable to restore it and bring it out of the secret realm.
In the end, Pingtu could only give the disciple three drops of original power that he had obtained through hard training as a spirit of an artifact, and let him carry them with him as a last resort to save his life.
Although the gods in the mortal world are already top-level fighters, Pingtu still remembered the entrustment of Master Qianzhong and knew the importance of this disciple to his own sect. He resolutely took out three of the five drops of original power that he had cultivated for hundreds of thousands of years and gave them to the disciple.
However, this greatly reduced Pingtu's strength. After obtaining three drops of original power, the disciple respectfully bowed to Pingtu and then floated away.
And this disciple's name is: Pei Buchong!
