It should be the Green Leaf Ancestor, right
Jianchou remembered that he seldom heard his master call anyone "old witch", except for that one person.
Moreover, both the location of the statue and its aura are extremely suitable.
Because of Xiao Diao, she had the chance to enter the Shahong Small World holding the Killing Plate. When she was subduing the Dijiang Bone Jade and killing the remaining soul of Dijiang, she was fortunate enough to get a glimpse of his style.
The clothes and facial features are exactly the same as this statue.
But vaguely, she felt that this statue was somewhat similar to the "Lord of Karma" whom she met in the Karma Sect of Zuo Sanqian's small meeting.
"Yashan!"
"The mountain man is coming!"
"Hello, mountain man. How are you these days?"
"Congratulations, hermit. A good teacher produces a talented student. Yashan has gained another great talent. He is the fastest person in the history of the Nineteen Continents to reach the Return to Void stage!"
"Elder Fudao..."
…
In just this brief moment of stunned silence, the monks from other sects around them had already noticed their newly arrived group. Most of them cast their glances at them, and some who had admired them for a long time or had a good relationship with them came up to greet them.
Fudaoshanren came to his senses almost immediately.
He was wearing worn clothes and holding a nine-section bamboo in his hand. Facing a large group of cultivators in front of him, some with immortal looks and some dressed in gorgeous clothes, he did not feel guilty at all and walked out of the teleportation array with full confidence.
"Hahaha, long time no see, long time no see!"
Even though the square is so large, it is not overcrowded.
It can be seen that when Chou walked out of the teleportation array and looked around, his heart was still shaken.
It has been so many years since she entered the Nineteenth Continent to practice, but has she ever seen such a high-level scene
Any inconspicuous cultivator standing in the corner is at least a Yuanying-stage monster!
As for the two realms of out-of-body experience and entering the world after the tribulation of self-examination, it can be said that they are rarely seen under normal circumstances, but now in the crowd, you can always find two or three out of ten!
Not to mention returning to the void...
The few people who were greeting Fudaoshanren at this moment were all shocked and amazed when Jianchou took a quick look at his cultivation level.
Return to the void!
Return to the void!
Repair!
There is even one that is completely invisible...
The person was a female cultivator, but she was wearing a pure black robe with the shapes of the two yin and yang and the eight trigrams embroidered on the corners of the sleeves. Her black hair was tied up with an ebony hairpin, and there was a feminine beauty in her eyebrows and facial features. She was smiling slightly as she spoke to Fudao Shanren.
When Jianchou's spiritual sense swept over her, she seemed to sense something and looked in her direction.
When he saw that it was Jianchou, his eyes became more curious, and he asked the hermit, "Hermit, this one is the disciple, right?"
"right."
Fudao Shanren looked back at Jianchou and laughed.
"These days, apprentices are really forcing their masters to death. This is unbelievable, unbelievable."
"Haha, this is something we can't even envy."
The others followed his gaze and looked at Jianchou. They first sighed in their hearts that the new generation of young people were really terrible. After hearing Fudaoshanren's sigh, they almost lost their state of mind accumulated from years of hard training, and they wanted to go up and strangle him to death!
Pack!
It's so irritating!
The nearly perfect smile on the face of the black-robed female cultivator, whose cultivation level was obviously much higher, also had a faint crack at this moment. Her chest seemed to rise and fall for a moment before she let out her breath.
She turned around and glanced behind her.
This time she came to Xinghai without bringing anyone else but her most proud disciple in recent years, Tang Buye.
More than ten years ago, at Zuo Sanqian's meeting, he was still strong enough to fight Yashan Jianchou, but now...
One has already reached the level of Return to Void, and the other is just in the middle stage of Nascent Soul.
I can't compare, and I dare not compare.
Tang Buye also stood behind his master in a black robe. Although he had been defeated by Jianchou before, he did not think that there was a big gap between him and Jianchou until she returned after disappearing for sixty years and became famous in the Nineteen Continents...
Then I suddenly realized that there was no way I could catch up.
His handsome face was full of complex emotions, but there was no jealousy, only sincere admiration. He bowed to Jianchou and said, "Long time no see."
Jianchou didn't expect to meet him here again. He was slightly startled and returned the greeting: "Last time I accidentally entered the forbidden area of Yin Yang Sect, but I didn't have time to greet Brother Tang Daoist. Thank you for your courtesy."
Tang Buye is a disciple of the Northern Region Yin Sect, so the identity of the black-robed female cultivator in front is very clear -
The leader of the Yin Sect in the Northern Territory, Fairy Xuan Yue!
It is said that she is one of the few great powers in the Nineteen Continents today, but no one knows her exact level of cultivation, except that it is not higher than that of Kunwu Hengxu Zhenren.
Because the number one on the Eighth Heaven Monument is still Heng Xu.
He was a strange person who didn't like to travel, so he spent years in seclusion in the sect, devoted to cultivation and ignored worldly affairs. He was even too lazy to teach his own disciples, leaving them to others.
Tang Buye is the first exception in hundreds of years.
Since he entered the sect, he has been brought up by Fairy Xuan Yue, and is a true "disciple". All the cultivators in Yin Sect suspect that he is actually the illegitimate son of the Sect Master outside.
cough.
Of course, these are just rumors, and no one knows whether they are true or not.
But Jianchou did not expect that this incident would even alarm such a powerful person who didn't care about anything else, which shows how serious the situation is.
Among the 19 continents today, there is not a single realm that reaches the sky, and even if you count the realms with boundaries, including the two sects of Zen and Esoteric Buddhism and the three paths of demons, it is unlikely that there will be more than eight.
There should be more Return to Void cultivators, and together with Jianchou, there will be about twenty people in total.
But there weren't so many people coming today.
Some of the powerful ones are in seclusion until their death, and they would not care even if the sky collapsed and the earth broke apart outside, and would not care about the affairs of the Nineteen Continents from beginning to end; some are simply impossible to come, such as the Dharma King Baoyin and the Dharma King Baoping of Xinmi; the rest have not made it yet, such as the three eminent monks from the Zen Sect, who should arrive on the day of the meeting.
Among the people who were greeting Fudao Shanren at this moment, except for Fairy Xuanyue who was the leader of the Yin Sect in the Northern Territory, the identities of the others were also extraordinary.
One is Yin Wang, the owner of Xihai Wangjiang Tower. He has nearly a hundred years of hair and beard, looks old and frail, holds a green jade cane in his hand, and has a very serious expression.
One is Zhang Yuandai, the leader of the Demon Sealing Sword Sect. He is full of righteousness and carries a long sword on his back. He doesn't look like a leader, but more like a swordsman.
One is Lu Song, the leader of the Tongling Pavilion. He is tall and strong, with bright eyes, dressed in a purple robe, and looks intimidating without even getting angry.
…
Jianchou even saw the Dakini Yangjin, who is now considered a member of the old secret camp!
She was wearing a gorgeous robe and was particularly conspicuous in the crowd. Her figure was graceful, swaying like a dewy rose. She was both cool and delicate. Just standing there, she had a kind of charm that aroused people's imagination.
But she had a serious look on her face, without the frivolous look she had shown when the battle broke out in the Snow Region that day.
There were several monks standing in the corner with her, just looking at this side but not coming over.
Fudao Shanren, Xuanyue Xianji and others certainly noticed it, but they did not take the initiative to go over and say hello.
Although this Vajrayogini Yangjin also returned to the void, she was not familiar with them. The old tantra she represented has always been closer to Zen Buddhism.
At present, none of the three Zen masters had arrived, so it was certainly not convenient for them to go up and talk.
Fortunately, monks who have reached their level do not care about worldly etiquette, and no one will take this to heart.
Several powerful men stood together and exchanged brief greetings.
The topics of discussion were, of course, nothing more than the current situation and their respective apprentices.
Because although Jianchou is a little lower in seniority at this moment, his cultivation is already very clear and obvious.
If everyone calls her "little", it would be overestimating one's own abilities and being arrogant in front of monks of the same level; if they are treating her as equals, where would they put Fudaoshanren at this moment
Therefore, all the smart people tacitly and affectionately called her "Little Friend Jianchou".
Jianchou saw that everyone was smiling, but she could vaguely sense the helplessness in their hearts. She knew that it was better for her not to speak at the moment, so she just listened from the side.
Fairy Xuan Yue, however, was somewhat interested in her.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, he wanted to throw a word to her, but when he glanced away, he suddenly noticed that there was a person standing two steps behind Jianchou!
The dark blue robe really looked outdated and out of place.
He looked like an exceptionally outstanding young male cultivator, but his expression was dull and his eyes were distant. Although he was standing there like everyone else, he gave off a feeling of being out of tune with the atmosphere.
It's like taking a piece out of an ink painting and pasting it onto a detailed painting, which doesn't seem quite right.
What shocked Xuan Yue Xian Ji even more was his cultivation——
He was standing here just now, but he was completely unaware of it until his eyes accidentally swept over him and he discovered the other party's existence. Now, after a closer look, he felt that the other party had the cultivation level of the middle stage of Return to Void!
But what kind of person who is in the middle stage of Return to the Void can be almost invisible in front of his early stage self with Boundedness
and…
Has she not been out for a walk for too long
She had no impression of this powerful cultivator standing among the group of people on Yashan, and she totally didn't remember that there was such a powerful cultivator in the Nineteenth Continent.
Her eyebrows slightly frowned, and for some reason she suddenly felt a strange fear. Fairy Xuan Yue hesitated and asked the hermit, "Hermit, who is this?"
Fu Dao looked back again and saw that she was asking about Fu Chaosheng. His expression became a little strange. He paused and replied, "He is a friend of my apprentice."
"friend?"
Fairy Xuan Yue said it, but she didn't quite believe it in her heart.
It was clear that Jianchou had only broken through to the Return to Void realm half a month ago. How could he have known such a "friend" who could make him feel inexplicably fearful
Could it be that there is a master hidden in Yashan
But I haven't heard of it.
That should be the helper invited for this matter. As for saying that it had something to do with Jianchou, she just thought it was an excuse made by Fudaoshanren to cover up.
Anyway, they came here with Yashan. Although Fairy Xuanyue had a high level of cultivation, it was not convenient for her to ask more questions. She just said "Oh", nodded and did not ask any more questions.
It was because of her question that everyone's eyes fell on Fu Chaosheng.
Everyone felt the same as they did about Xuan Yue Xian Ji before. They didn't recognize this person at all and had never noticed her before.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little strange.
Fu Chaosheng didn't feel anything. He just glanced at Xuan Yue Fairy Ji and ignored her. Instead, he suddenly seemed to sense something and looked towards the teleportation array next to him.
Almost as his eyes fell, the formation lit up.
A moment later, a group of people appeared in the formation. Coincidentally, there were about 20 people, and Jianchou knew a few of them.
"Kunwu is here too!"
"It's Elder Gu..."
"As expected, I didn't see Master Hengxu. It looks like he's with the Zen sect and it'll take a while for him to arrive."
"That's not it..."
…
After arriving at Yashan, there was another round of excitement.
Everyone stopped talking and looked over, and sure enough, it was the Kunwu people who had arrived late.
Several elders, Wu Duan and Wang Que led the way, followed by several of Hengxu Zhenren's true disciples and the rest of the sect's elite, including Gu Qingmei.
As soon as they appeared, they naturally noticed Yashan first.
Because the person who came was not the Immortal Hengxu, after the elders came over, they first bowed to the Hermit Fudao and said, "Greetings, Hermit."
Fu Dao accepted it generously, glanced at them, and asked, "Did the old monster and his beloved disciple really not come?"
The faces of several elders suddenly looked a little embarrassed.
At this time, Wang, who was ranked fourth among the true disciples of Zhenren Hengxu, stood up, smiled slightly, and bowed to Fudaoshanren in a graceful manner.
"Junior Brother Xie has some minor problems in cultivation, and needs guidance from Master, so I have specially ordered the juniors to apologize to the hermit. He may be a few days late for this Xinghai gathering."
Fudao Shanren had already pinched the chicken leg in his hand, but when he looked Wang Que up and down, he suddenly exclaimed "Huh" and said in surprise: "Shanren, I think your cultivation is not quite right?"
"Ha ha… "
The king could not help but laugh. His former reclusive and indifferent demeanor was much less present. Instead, he became more worldly, righteous, and upright, and he looked moderate and peaceful.
"You have sharp eyes, and I cannot hide anything from you. After several years of seclusion, all my doubts have gone away. I have decided to abandon the hermit sword and practice the Confucian sword instead."
Fudaoshanren was not the only one who heard these words; everyone was stunned.
Only when I see sorrow, my heart is clear.
She once fought with Wang Que, and they had a few words about Taoism afterwards. From then on, this genius, whose talent was comparable to Xie Buchen in Kunwu, fell into confusion.
now…
Confucian sword
Jianchou saw that although his cultivation was declining, his aura was far better than before, so he smiled sincerely and said, "Congratulations, Daoist Wang Que."
"It is all thanks to Brother Jianchou who enlightened me. Otherwise, I would probably still be in the wrong path." Wang was grateful to Jianchou sincerely.
There was no need for the two to say much, they just looked at each other and started laughing.
Fu Chaosheng standing next to him looked on with some confusion. He glanced at Jianchou, then at Wang Que, his brows slightly furrowed, as if he was thinking about something.
But no one noticed him, everyone's eyes were on Yashan and Kunwu.
Everyone had their own guesses as to why Master Hengxu didn't come, but on this occasion they wisely kept it to themselves and only mentioned some minor points that were not very important.
Soon, most people arrived.
This Xinghai gathering was of great importance, so both parties had discussed it in advance and even agreed on a date.
So, after waiting in this square for a while, the people sent by Tomorrow Star Sea to pick them up arrived.
"Hey, make way, make way!"
I don't know who shouted from a distance, with obvious panic.
Then, the crowd on the periphery suddenly dispersed like a tide.
Jianchou looked up and followed the sound, only to see a hill more than ten feet high rushing through the crowd, turning many corners and almost bumping into many monks.
A short monk stood on the "mountain", wearing an old and oversized dark green Taoist robe, looking very panicked.
His small green eyes were almost widened into yellow beans, and his hands were waving in the air, trying his best to control the hill. He was obviously in a panic.
It was a close call that I managed to stop in front of a group of people at Kunwu Cliff Mountain.
"Damn it, I was really scared. Fortunately, nothing happened. Fortunately, nothing happened. Otherwise, I would not be able to report to His Majesty the Sword Emperor..."
As he spoke, he patted his chest and with lingering fear, he retracted his magic spell. The hill instantly disappeared into the ground without a trace.
Everyone was able to see him clearly.
He was short and stocky, dressed in shabby clothes, and his cultivation was only at the Golden Core level. Now in this square, anyone could crush him to death with just a finger.
But unexpectedly, the moment they saw the person coming, several of the nearly forty cultivators from the two sects of Kunwu Yashan suddenly changed their expressions!
Jianchou was fine, just a little surprised.
Because she happened to recognize the cultivator standing in front of everyone. He was the leader of a solo sect whom she had met in the wilderness. If she remembered correctly, the sect was called Yushan Sect and the cultivator's name was Yu Shanxing.
According to his own bragging, he was the sixth generation leader of the Yushan Sect, so he should be called "Yushan Xingliu".
But how could he appear in the Sea of Tomorrow's Stars
Moreover, he mentioned "His Majesty the Sword Emperor" in his words just now, which clearly meant that he was the person sent by Qu Zhengfeng to pick them up.
But Qu Zhengfeng himself didn’t come
Jianchou's attention was naturally on Qu Zhengfeng, but when she turned her head and noticed the unusual expressions on both sides of Kunwu Cliff Mountain, she vaguely realized that something was wrong.
This is Kunwu.
Several elders looked at Yu Shanxing, as if they had thought of something, and their faces were not particularly good. Even one of the deacon elders, Gu Pingsheng, showed a hint of anger in his eyes.
Wu Duan and Wang Que seemed to know something and frowned slightly.
The reaction on Yashan side was different from theirs.
One was Fudao Shanren, and the other was the head of the sect Zheng Yao. When they saw Yu Shanxing, they were both stunned for a moment, especially because of his robe which looked very worn and ill-fitting.
Eleven generations ago, there was also a young disciple in Yashan who wore such a Taoist robe.
But at that time, it was still brand new.
It is like a young man wearing it, full of youthfulness and vigor, and his every move and gesture is full of the charm that is unique to a genius.
Not only is he talented, but he is also more hardworking than others.
Outside of Yashan, the only person who could be compared with Qu Zhengfeng at that time was Xi Yijian Xue Wujiu; but within Yashan Gate, the only one who could be compared with Qu Zhengfeng was him...
He was once a proud son of his generation.
It also once shone throughout the Central Region.
But after the war between Yin and Yang ended, he was dissatisfied with his master and rebelled against Yashan. He founded the "Yushan Sect", proclaimed himself the leader, accepted a person as a disciple, and let him use his name to pass on the Yushan Sect for a long time.
He wanted to let the three words "Yushanxing" witness everything that would happen in the future.
At this moment, Zheng Yao's eyes were already a little moist.
But the sixth generation Yu Shanxing in front of him didn't feel anything unusual at all. He quickly straightened his robe and walked in front of everyone.
He is short in stature, but looks cheerful and happy.
"Greetings, everyone. I am Yushan Xingliu, the leader of the Yushan Sect, and now serve His Majesty the Sword Emperor. Today, I am here to meet you on his orders."
"He also said that he should have come to greet you all personally when you arrived at the Star Sea."
"It's just such an unfortunate coincidence. I just happened to be busy. I hope you can forgive me."
This is really true...
So high-sounding!
Do you really think that no one here knows that it took him three whole days to reply to Master Hengxu's post
It would have been fine if I didn't come, but the one sent to meet us is such a shabby and short Jindan-stage cultivator
Arrogant.
arrogant.
Arrogant!
For a time, many people had a very bad impression of this new Sword Emperor and Star Sea Lord who had only been promoted for two years. However, no one in Kunwu Yashan was talking at the moment, so it was naturally even more difficult for the others to speak.
There is a sense of being angry but not being able to speak out.
When Qu Zhengfeng rebelled against Yashan and was hunted by them, who could have expected this day to come
Yu Shanxing's reaction was really slow. Everyone's attitude was so obvious, but he hadn't noticed it yet and was still completing his task diligently and responsibly.
"We have already allocated a small part of Broken Immortal City in Xinghai for you to stay for a while. However, the time to allocate the place was not particularly appropriate, so it seems that it is not enough."
"But His Majesty the Sword Emperor also said that the two giants of Kunwu and Yashan have always made arrangements in the Xinghai..."
"Well, this small temple cannot accommodate a large Buddha. Please find a place for yourselves to stay."
"What did you say?!"
Yu Shanxing had just finished speaking when someone next to him suddenly shouted angrily, obviously having endured it to the limit and couldn't bear it anymore.
Everyone turned around to look, but it was not any of the cultivators from the Kunwu and Yashan sects.
Instead, it was Lu Song, the leader of the Zuo Sanqian Tongling Pavilion, who was dressed in a purple robe.
He raised his eyebrows, pointed at Yu Shanxing's nose and asked rudely: "Who do you think your Xinghai is? How dare you neglect the Yashan and Kunwu sects?!"
When Jianchou heard this, his brows suddenly frowned.
This leader of the Spiritual Pavilion really has a very bad temper. Yashan and Kunwu next door haven't said anything yet, why is he yelling and cursing
I felt a little unhappy in my heart.
On the Kunwu side, Wu Duan and Wang Que did not expect that the first person to express opposition would not be the cultivator from Kunwu Yashan. They frowned slightly in surprise and glanced at Lu Song.
But the king laughed.
He stood up and advised Lu Song: "Pavilion Master Lu, there is no need to be so angry. Kunwu Yashan does have some arrangements in the Star Sea, and they are also in Shattered Immortal City. It is a great blessing for the Nineteen Continents that the Sword Emperor agreed to cooperate with us today. Why should we hurt the harmony over these trivial matters?"
"Can… "
Lu Song didn't expect Wang to say this. He felt offended and opened his mouth to say something.
But before he could utter a word of rebuttal, a sneer as sharp as a knife and an angry roar from the side were instantly suppressed and spread throughout the entire square!
"When is it your turn to interfere in the affairs of Kunwu Yashan?"
Wh, what
Lu Song was dizzy from the roar of the voice. He turned around and took a closer look, only to find that the person who was speaking was none other than the Fudaoshan man who had been silent just now!
"Mountain man, you—"
"Apologize!"
The face was gloomy, like the night sky with thunder and lightning, and there was a terrifying oppression.
Fudao Shanren didn't want to listen to Lu Song's nonsense at all. He just pointed at Yushanxing and pressed down with these two cold words.
Everyone's eyes were instantly drawn to this place.
Jianchou didn't know what was going on. Although he felt that Lu Song's words were uncomfortable, it shouldn't be enough to make Fudaoshanren so angry, right
She was a little surprised and her eyes fell on Yu Shanxing who was also frightened.
Yu Shanxing himself couldn't react, let alone others.
Weren’t the great men talking nicely just now
How can they turn against each other so easily? And this is within Zuo Sanqian’s inner sect…
Lu Song himself had no idea what was going on. He just pointed at the nose of the Jindan stage cultivator.
Since Mingri Xinghai dared to be so neglectful, could he not have some temper
After all, he is a powerful being in the Return to Void Stage. Who doesn’t have some arrogance
Everyone usually respects Yashan, and also respects Fudaoshanren. But when it comes to his current cultivation level, he is just the same as me. How can he force me to apologize to this dwarf? !
Lu Song's chest rose and fell, his body tensed up, he gritted his teeth and sneered: "Elder Fudao, are you kidding me? Apologize to him?!"
What this means is that I don't want to apologize anymore!
Fudaoshanren's expression became more and more ugly, and a tremendous momentum suddenly rose up from his skinny body, crashing towards the sky above the Tomorrow Star Sea!
The jade-like nine-section bamboo was grasped by his dry hands and smashed heavily on the ground!
“Boom!”
A crisp sound!
With the place where the bamboo stick fell to the ground as the center, the ground around the square suddenly cracked like a spider web, spreading out with "crackling" sounds!
A layer of deep blue spiritual light spread out from under his feet like waves towards the entire square!
The old and even somewhat ragged robes of Fudaoshanren were blown up by the strong wind brought about by this ray of spiritual light, and were filled with surging coldness!
His sharp eyes were faintly stained with blood. He looked at Lu Song expressionlessly and said one last time:
"I'll let you--"
"Apologize!"
