Taoist Kongming was silent when faced with Zhang Xingfeng's question.
Zhang Xingfeng looked at Taoist Kongming with complicated feelings. First, he admired Taoist Kongming, and secondly, he was confused and a little bit angry because Taoist Kongming didn't care about the lives of those Tianxin Sect disciples.
Kong Ming Taoist was a wild cultivator with no sect. Relying on some ordinary cultivation secrets he obtained, combined with his own experience, and grasping the mysterious truth between heaven and earth, Taoist Kongming, who reached the stage of transcending tribulation, finally created the "Heart Canon" and founded the Tianxin Sect. Taoist Kongming had no knowledge at that time. Immortal weapons, relying on the tyrannical true energy, can easily survive the catastrophe. Later, he relied on secret methods to cover up his own skills. After overcoming the tribulation, he stayed in the world of cultivation for nearly a thousand years and completely laid the foundation of Tianxin Sect. Finally, because he reached the realm of Luo Tianshangxian, he was finally discovered by the fairy world and later entered the fairy world. .
It is a miracle in itself that a cultivator can escape the detection of the immortal world and hide for nearly a thousand years, and it is only a thousand years. In the world of cultivation, without immortal stones or immortal crystals, he can achieve this by relying solely on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. One can imagine the talents of Luo Tianshangxian and Kongming Taoist.
Zhang Xingfeng didn't know what Taoist Kongming's life was like in the immortal world, but he could imagine that after all, the immortal world was equivalent to hell for the immortals with no background, Luo Tianshangxian! It has been a million years since Kongming Taoist founded his sect, and it has also taken a million years to cultivate, but in the immortal world, a normal million years only reaches the Nine Heavens Mysterious Immortal Realm! But Taoist Kongming has reached the realm of Immortal Emperor.
Of course Zhang Xingfeng admires such a person! Although Zhang Xingfeng is much faster than Taoist Kong Ming, it was because of the blessing of his predecessors or due to luck that he started to practice fetal training, and his innate vitality was more than ten times stronger. Later, he obtained the "Six Transformations of the Mysterious Body", and the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm is even more precious. countless. The power of Wuji allowed Zhang Xingfeng to overcome the tribulation and directly reach the level of Daluo Jinxian.
Later, some adventures in the Fire Fantasy Temple and the mysterious stone tablet allowed Zhang Xingfeng to reach his current level.
Perhaps the only thing Zhang Xingfeng can be proud of is the result of his own hard work - the unique physical attack he created!
But luck is also a kind of strength. Innate fire spirit body, reincarnation memory, Pangu inheritance, Old Man Huo's favor, etc., everything has made Zhang Xingfeng what he is today.
…
After a long time, Taoist Kong Ming took a long breath and smiled slightly, as if he wanted to laugh everything off.
"Xingfeng, I really didn't know that our Tianxin Sect could have an outstanding disciple like you. I'd rather listen to Brother Yuanmu's story about you, haha..." Taoist Kongming looked at Zhang Xingfeng and said with a smile.
Zhang Xingfeng glanced at the green bamboos planted in the courtyard. He didn't know why Taoist Kongming didn't answer his question just now. Zhang Xingfeng suddenly smiled and thought to himself: "Maybe the founder also has his own difficulties."
"Grandmaster, it's been a million years since the Tianxin Sect was established. Grandmaster, you entered the immortal world early. I only started to cultivate in these few thousand years. It's normal that the Patriarch doesn't know about me." Zhang Xingfeng said to Kong Ming with some respect. People say, after all, Kongming Taoist is the founder.
Taoist Kongming stood up from the stone bench and walked slowly away. Suddenly, Taoist Kongming turned around, looked at Zhang Xingfeng, and said, "Are you surprised why I didn't save the Tianxin Sect disciples?"
Zhang Xingfeng looked at Taoist Kongming firmly and nodded.
A trace of cruelty flashed in Taoist Kongming's eyes, his white beard trembled a few times, and he suddenly regained his composure.
"Now let me tell you, who is the murderer who caused my ascended disciple of Tianxin Sect to linger in the immortal world?" Taoist Kongming said as he looked at Zhang Xingfeng.
When Zhang Xingfeng heard this, murderous intent suddenly leaked out of his eyes, but he retracted it instantly, but the coldness in his body became even stronger.
"Who?" Zhang Xingfeng squeezed out the word through his teeth, his voice cold and emotionless.
"Purple Cloud Realm!" Taoist Kongming said calmly, but the murderous intent in that plain voice was even more terrifying than Zhang Xingfeng's.
Zhang Xingfeng was startled, and suddenly said in a cold voice: "It's this Zixia Realm again. One day, I will destroy him in the Zixia Realm!" Zhang Xingfeng now has new and old grudges, and the sectarian grudges will be avenged together.
The murderous aura in Taoist Kong Ming's body completely disappeared, or was hidden. He smiled bitterly and said to Zhang Xingfeng: "Destroy the Zixia Realm? Do you think it is easy to destroy the Zixia Realm? The largest force in the immortal world, the masters of the Immortal Emperor Realm alone are There are five of them, plus the hidden worship masters, they are definitely masters who are better than the ten immortal emperors. Hum, ten immortal emperors, what a powerful force."
Zhang Xingfeng said: "Ten Immortal Emperor-level masters are terrifying, but the number of Immortal Emperor masters from Fengyuan Sect and Tianlong Sect is probably not much different from that of Zixia Realm!"
Taoist Kongming nodded and said: "Yes, you are absolutely right. Not only the Feng Yuan Sect and the Tianlong Sect, but also the number of masters, even the four sects of the Immortal Realm are not much different. But these are not the most important. The most important thing is What matters is the immortal army!
The immortal army is absolutely terrifying. Although the immortals in the immortal army are basically at the level of Luo Tianxian and Daluo Jinxian, they are large in number. With a large formation, one hundred thousand people can attack at once, even if it is The masters in the late stage of Immortal Emperor will also be wiped out in an instant. Do you know why Zixia Realm has been the number one force in the fairy world for so many years? "
Zhang Xingfeng understood a little: "Is it an army of immortals?" Taoist Kongming nodded.
Zhang Xingfeng immediately frowned and said doubtfully: "That's not right. Doesn't the Feng Yuan Sect and the Tianlong Sect also have an army of immortals? Can't they compete with the Zixia Realm for the peak?"
Taoist Kongming shook his head and said: "Although there are also immortal armies, the number is very different!"
"How big is it? I don't believe that the immortal masters of Fengyuan Sect and Tianlong Sect combined are not as many as the masters of the immortal army of Zixia Realm?" Zhang Xingfeng sneered, how much he wanted to kill the person of Zixia Realm, in the world of cultivation When he was young, he wanted to destroy the power of Zixia Realm in the world of cultivation, but his strength was not enough. After all, Zixia Realm was the number one force in the fairy world. And this time when he came to the fairy world, Emperor Ziwei and him were completely opposite.
Taoist Kongming smiled bitterly and said: "Yes, as you said, the combined immortal armies of Tianlong Sect and Fengyuan Sect are not as large as those of Zixia Realm!!!"
Zhang Xingfeng was stunned. The immortal armies of Fengyuan Sect and Tianlong Sect combined were not as large as those of Zixia Realm!
"How could this happen? How could this be possible? Gao Ge has almost as much power, so why does his Immortal Army in the Purple Cloud Realm have so many more Immortals?" Zhang Xingfeng opened his eyes wide, but Taoist Kong Ming had a look of disbelief on his face.
"Do you know where these immortals in the immortal army come from?" Kongming Taoist asked.
Zhang Xingfeng thought for a moment and then said: "It goes without saying that these immortals are of course immortals with no background and no support. Where did they come from? Of course it is the ascension platform where all ascended cultivators gather."
Taoist Kongming smiled coldly and said, "The Ascension Platform? Yes, these immortals all come from the Ascension Platform, but do you know where the Ascension Platform is?"
Zhang Xingfeng's heart moved and he asked: "Is this Ascension Platform within the sphere of influence of Zixia Realm?"
Taoist Kongming didn't say anything, but from Taoist Kongming's expression, Zhang Xingfeng could tell that the Ascension Platform was within the Purple Cloud Realm.
"That's not right, Master Patriarch. The immortal who has just ascended is only a heavenly immortal and is not qualified to be a member of the immortal army. So what if the ascension platform is in the Purple Cloud Realm? Won't those immortals leave on their own? Can't they leave? Is it within the scope of the Zixia Realm? Could it be that the Zixia Realm is forcing people to stay? That’s not right. Based on what I’ve seen in the Immortal World, this Immortal World doesn’t care at all whether these immortals go or stay.” Zhang Xingfeng was confused again.
Taoist Kongming smiled and said: "Xingfeng, you have been in the Immortal Realm for too short a time, and you have not seen it thoroughly for a lot of time. You have visited several cities in the Zixia Realm, whether it is Paoyang City, Baiyu City, or Loufeng City. , although they are nominally controlled by some third-level forces, they are actually forces belonging to the Zixia Realm. Those third-level forces are only attached to the Zixia Realm. Do you understand?"
Zhang Xingfeng nodded clearly. It seemed that although these third-level forces occupied a city, they were still just affiliates.
Taoist Kongming looked at Zhang Xingfeng's expression, smiled slightly, and said: "In the entire Immortal World, the Four Immortal World Sects are completely independent. The cities they occupy are not dependent on the influence of the three Immortal Emperors. There are also some sects close to the Four Immortal World Sects that are attached to the Immortal World. The four sects are out of the control of the three Immortal Emperors. However, in general, most of the cities in the Immortal World are in the hands of the three Immortal Emperors."
"Let me tell you, there are eighteen cities in Zixia Realm that are completely occupied by him, and there are nearly thirty cities that are dependent on him. These cities are all close to Zixia Realm. You should also know that in the two immortal realms, How far is the distance between the cities?"
Zhang Xingfeng nodded and said: "Although I don't know the exact distance of some cities, I know one thing, they must be very far away. My brothers Ajia and Xiaoyu are just immortals. They don't dare to teleport desperately, because There are not many fairy stones, let alone fairy crystals, so they fly slowly, and it takes them nearly a hundred years to get from one city to another."
Taoist Kongming agreed: "Indeed, those poor people who have just become immortals without any background, they don't have immortal stones, and they don't dare to use teleportation at will. Even teleportation is only a hundred times faster. They can only save immortal stones. Fly slowly.”
Kongming Taoist suddenly sneered: "That's it, they are all pitiful. Zixia Realm even moved the mountain gate next to the Ascension Platform. Knowing that with the Ascension Platform as the center, nearly fifty cities around it are all Zixia Realm As long as these immortals do not leave such a large range, even if they become Luotian Immortals and want to join the army, they can only be in the Zixia realm."
Zhang Xingfeng's eyes suddenly opened, and he suddenly understood: "This...this...oh my God, there are fifty cities. If you choose to go straight in one direction, there are probably ten cities blocking the way. A city takes a hundred years, and ten cities will take a thousand years." This requires continuous running, and it takes thousands of years to have hope. However, most immortals find a good place to settle down, find some jobs to earn some immortal stones to practice. They only do it when they are bullied by others and chased by playboys. Keep walking. As long as Luo Tianshang is still in the Zixia realm when he is in Luo Tianshang's realm, Luo Tianshang may directly enter the Zixia realm's army."
When he thought of this, Zhang Xingfeng suddenly became more worried.
Taoist Kongming smiled and said: "It's not as scary as you think. If it's as you think, most of the immortals without backgrounds are in the Zixia Realm. There are now nearly a million immortals in the Zixia Realm. Both Fengyuan Sect and Tianlong Sect have about four to five million immortals.
In the fairy world, those immortals are almost always bullied. Most of them are constantly migrating, constantly moving, and most of the time they live in the wilderness outside the city. Therefore, more than half of the heavenly immortals have left the sphere of influence of Zixia Realm. "
After hearing this, Zhang Xingfeng let out a sigh of relief.
…
Taoist Kongming suddenly changed the subject and said, "Do you know where our offerings come from?"
Zhang Xingfeng was stunned. He really didn't know that even if an Immortal Emperor-level master lived a carefree life, there would be absolutely no force that could threaten him. What would be the benefit of an Immortal Emperor-level master being a hidden worship master
"Is it an invitation? Or is it attracted by rare treasures?" Zhang Xingfeng said uncertainly.
Taoist Kongming smiled faintly, shook his head, and said: "No, or to be precise, not entirely. What you said may be true, but only a very small number. What can attract people who have reached the realm of the Immortal Emperor? What's more, reaching the level of the Immortal Emperor In the imperial realm, you can basically establish a sect in the immortal world. How many people are willing to become worshippers?"
"That?" Zhang Xingfeng was confused.
Taoist Kongming explained: "I tell you, all the immortals who enter the army have no freedom, because when they enter the army, they must swear a blood oath and be loyal forever. Most of these offerings are made by hundreds of thousands of immortals who have gradually succeeded in cultivation. Because they are bound by their oaths, they can only serve as worshippers. Of course, after becoming worshippers, their status is different from before. Now they are almost equal to the elders of the sect, but they are not allowed to leave the sphere of influence."
Zhang Xingfeng suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked at Taoist Kong Ming in disbelief: "Master, can it be that you also..."
Taoist Kongming nodded, seeming to recall those days when he created the "Heart Canon" and reached the Luotian Immortal Realm by himself in just a thousand years in the world of cultivation. How arrogant and arrogant he was. Someone in Zixia Realm asked him to join the army, but he didn't because he wanted to be free. He would rather practice slowly in the wild to be free!
But he was wrong, so wrong. He had forgotten the sneer of the person in charge of Zixia Realm whom he had rejected. Living like a mouse crossing the street made Taoist Kong Ming almost crazy. He was not a saint. In the end, he ended up with almost all the immortals without background. Same, he joined the army, but Taoist Taoist Kongming was arrogant and did not enter the army of Zixia Realm that he once rejected, but entered the army of Fengyuan Sect!
…
Zhang Xingfeng was chatting with Taoist Kongming, and the old man Huo finally drank the wine slowly, so...
