The world is divided into six realms, and the human realm is the lowest of the six realms. Both in terms of strength and lifespan, they are far inferior to those of immortals, demons, gods, and devils. In addition to living longer than most beasts, they can be said to have a very short lifespan in the entire world.
In pursuit of immortality, humans have many people who seek immortality. These people gather together to practice in many places where spiritual energy gathers, and gradually form some relatively famous sects, among which the two most famous places are two places.
One is Shu Mountain, and the other is Kunlun Mountain.
Among them, Shushan was originally occupied by many casual cultivators, with alchemy as the mainstream. However, during the reign of Emperor Wu of Liang Dynasty, Shushan merged into the Shushan Immortal Sword Sect under the leadership of the Immortal Sword Sect. The first leader was accepted by the Emperor of Heaven and became an Immortal Queen. The Shushan Sect was the only major immortal cultivating sect left in the entire Shushan. From time to time in every generation there are people who become immortals and attain the Tao, which can be said to be the largest sect in the world of immortality.
On the contrary is Kunlun Mountain. Since monks gathered here, the so-called Kunlun Eight Sects have been formed, namely Kunlun, Qionghua, Jasper, Zicui, Xuanpu, Yuying, Langfeng and Tianyong.
Among them, the most popular one is the Qionghua Sect, which is said to be taught by the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady in her dream. The Qionghua Sect is the strongest and largest immortal cultivation sect in the entire Kunlun Mountains.
It is a pity that although the Qionghua Sect is in the limelight, only the leaders of the Qionghua Sect understand that such a big limelight may not be a good thing. I am afraid no one understands the truth of "a tree that is beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind" than they do.
The Qionghua Sect's resources and even the quality of its disciples have always been superior to the eight Kunlun sects. However, a rather embarrassing thing is that since the birth of the Qionghua Sect, there has never been a person who achieved Taoism and became an immortal. Although it is said to have the method of combining human and sword passed down by the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady in the God Realm, no one has ever become an immortal by relying on this set of techniques.
With the best resources, top talents for cultivating immortals, and top-notch skills, the Qionghua Sect has so many benefits, but no one has become an immortal. This kind of pressure has made the leaders of the Qionghua Sect in the past feel quite uncomfortable. deep.
The other Kunlun Eight Sects are also constantly squeezing out the Qionghua Sect. Although it is not obvious, since a hundred years ago, the other seven of the Kunlun Eight Sects have no longer been in contact with the Qionghua Sect and have regarded themselves as independent. The high-ranking Qionghua faction also did not take the initiative to communicate. Since then, the Qionghua faction has fallen into a state of isolation and helplessness.
There are no immortals in the Qionghua Sect, but no other sect has ever tried to seize the resources of the Qionghua Sect. This is largely due to the fear of the Qionghua Sect's combat effectiveness. Although there is no one who can become an immortal, each generation of Qionghua Sect has powerful monks who are not inferior to immortals. This is also a major reason why Qionghua Sect can be passed down to this day.
Since Master Taiqing, the leader of Qionghua, took charge of Qionghua more than 20 years ago, the entire Qionghua sect has prospered, and its strength is far beyond what it used to be. As the twin swords that had been forged two hundred years ago were about to be completed, Master Taiqing and the elders of the sect were also anxiously looking for suitable hosts for the twin swords.
Fortunately, seven years ago, a suitable host for Yang Jian Xihe had been found, and a child named Xuan Xiao was accepted by the head master Taiqing and became his second disciple. Xuan Xiao's qualifications are rare in a century, and coupled with his identity as the host of the two swords, Master Taiqing has high hopes for him and teaches him carefully.
On a calm day, Master Taiqing, who was teaching Xuan Xiao and his eldest disciple Xuan Zhen in Jianwuping, was secretly nodding in praise. The two disciples under his command are indeed extraordinary. The second disciple Xuan Xiao's qualifications are extremely rare even in the history of Qionghua Sect. With his special qualifications, his cultivation will definitely increase when the two swords are forged in the future.
Although the eldest disciple Xuan Zhen's qualifications are not as amazing as Xuan Xiao's, he is the best candidate for the leader of the sect with a stable personality and humility. With two such disciples, Master Taiqing only thinks that the Qionghua sect is hopeful of reviving.
While Master Taiqing was still inspecting the practice of his two disciples, he suddenly raised his head and looked at the Kunlun Skylight in the sky. Master Taiqing's strange behavior made his two disciples stop their sword skills and turned around to look at the Kunlun sky.
The so-called Kunlun Skylight refers to a wonderful scene in the sky at the highest point of Kunlun Mountain. According to legend, the Kunlun Skylight connects the immortal world. As long as one can pass through the Kunlun Skylight, one can shed the mortal body and cultivate the immortal body, or even directly become an immortal and ascend to the immortal world.
Countless monks have tried to fly over the Kunlun Skylight throughout the ages, but their failed experiences have taught future generations one thing, that is, the ordinary flying sword method cannot reach the height of the Kunlun Skylight. That is not something that monks who have not become immortals can do. reached.
The Kunlun skylight has existed for more than a thousand years, and there has never been any abnormality in it. The divine light shines on Kunlun Mountain every day, and it has been like this every day for thousands of years. From the beginning, Kunlun's sky light has been intermittent, and the light it emits is not as bright as before.
"Master, does the change in the sky in Kunlun mean there will be an unprecedented disaster? Why is this sight unheard of!"
As the eldest disciple, Xuan Zhen looked at Master Taiqing who was stroking his white beard and looking at the Kunlun sky and thinking, and couldn't help but ask. This kind of vision is really shocking. Even if Xuan Zhen had acted calmly before, he was still full of shock when faced with such a situation.
If Xuan Xiao hadn't been surrounded by his senior brother, it would have been difficult for him to remain silent due to his personality. The question from his senior brother Xuan Zhen also revealed the doubts in his heart, and he looked the same. He looked at his master, Master Taiqing, as if he was asking for a solution.
"Hmm - I don't know the reason for this, my teacher. There are many books on the Qionghua Sect, but there is no record of such a change."
Master Taiqing was stroking his white beard while thinking in a low voice. As the head of the Qionghua Sect, he had to think deeply about what kind of unusual situation he would face.
"Xuan Zhen! Please inform the disciples in the sect to be on full alert. They are not allowed to act without my orders. Until the cause of such changes is found out, everyone must be in a state of war preparation!"
"Yes, in compliance with the order of the master, I will inform the disciples to be on guard!"
The eldest disciple Xuan Zhen clasped his fists, and then passed the news directly to the disciples from all over the sect one by one. The Taiqing master at Jianwu Ping did not act arbitrarily. Looking at the sky that became increasingly difficult to see clearly, his pupils shrank suddenly.
He didn't know whether others had seen it clearly, but at that moment he noticed a vague vortex in the Kunlun Skylight. It seemed that something was about to land in this world through the Kunlun Skylight.
After only half a cup of tea, Master Taiqing knew that he had not seen it wrong. The whirlpool that was not obvious at first became clearly visible at this time, and the Kunlun skylight became extremely dim at this moment. At the same time, a black shadow passed through the Kunlun sky in an instant and fell from the sky towards Kunlun Mountain.
In the astonished look of Master Taiqing, the black shadow falling from the Kunlun sky shot straight towards the Qionghua Sect where they were. Before Master Taiqing could see clearly what the black shadow was, he could even make a move. In response, the black shadow, which was faster than the flying sword, fell like a meteor on the Cirrus Cloud Platform behind Jian Wuping. The sound was so loud that it seemed to penetrate the entire Cirrus Cloud Platform.
Master Taiqing's face darkened, and then his whole person turned into a stream of light and disappeared in front of Xuan Xiao in a moment. The speed was far beyond what Xuan Xiao, who had just entered the door for the first time, could understand.
Xuan Xiao looked at Master Taiqing as Yu Jian left. Even with a very mature mind, he couldn't help but feel envious in his heart, thinking that one day he would practice to be as strong as Master Taiqing.
In just one breath of time, Master Taiqing, who left Jianwuping, arrived at the Cirrus Cloud Platform thousands of meters away. As the gathering place of Qionghua Sect, Juanyuntai is usually not guarded by disciples, so when Master Taiqing came here he could only see an empty platform.
A huge crack has appeared in the center of the Cirrus Cloud Platform, as if it had just been hit by a meteorite. When Master Taiqing looked at the core of the crater, he found that there was nothing else in the center of the crater. There was only a young man under the age of 20 lying there.
The young man was dressed in a green fairy robe, and his face was completely bloodless. The red blood spilling from the corner of his mouth showed that his current condition was definitely not much better.
Looking at this young man who appeared in the Cirrus Cloud Terrace in a strange state, Master Taiqing immediately connected it with the black shadow that had just passed through the Kunlun sky. When Master Taiqing came to him, he conducted some investigation and found that not only was his cultivation unknown, but he even had a tendency to surpass him. His body was not even that of a mortal, and the energy and blood in his body were terrifyingly strong. Compared to Taiqing, The monsters that people have seen are more powerful, but they can't detect the slightest trace of monsters.
Judging from the immortal energy revealed in the untieable blue immortal robe that the young man is wearing, it is extremely possible for the young man to become an immortal. Even if they are not immortals in the immortal world, they must have a great connection with the immortal world. They may be descendants of immortals who have fallen into the mortal world.
Master Taiqing now has no doubts about him, so it would not be a wise move to continue to let the young man lie here. The strange situation in Kunlun Tianguang just now will soon attract people from other eight Kunlun sects to come to investigate. When they see this strange young man, there may be trouble again.
In order to ensure that this "treasure" would not fall into the hands of outsiders, Master Taiqing immediately picked up the young man and prepared to leave with his sword. Before leaving, he did not forget to use the five-spirit magic to cover up the traces of his recent fall.
Seven days later, when the abnormality in Kunlun's sky disappeared and the eight Kunlun sects gradually returned to their former peace, the young man who had been hidden in the Qionghua sect's disciple's room by Master Taiqing finally woke up.
"Damn candle-bearing dragon, where have I been?"
This young man who fell into the Qionghua sect was none other than Le Yuan, who had previously fought with the candle-bearing dragon in a bet and narrowly defeated the candle-bearing dragon without using the body of the true dragon. In order to be able to deal with the Zhulong, he had not resisted for a long time and only at the last moment got the hold of the Zhulong.
But before he could witness the candle-bearing dragon fulfilling his promise, the countdown to time and space had already begun. Le Yuan, who had used forbidden moves for the sake of victory, fell into a coma due to severe injuries. It took him seven days to recover before he woke up. .
The moment he woke up, he saw Master Taiqing appearing in front of Le Yuan not long after.
"I, the leader of the Qionghua Sect, Taiqing, can you tell me how your little friend is doing? He fell into my Qionghua Juanyun Tower for some unknown reason."
The moment Master Taiqing appeared, Le Yuan realized his identity from his clothes. After all, Suyao once wore the same style of clothes. And when he personally said that he was Taiqing, Le Yuan finally realized where he had come.
This is the Qionghua Sect, but it is not the Kunlun Qionghua Sect that Le Yuan is familiar with and is controlled by Su Yao. This was the Qionghua Sect that was at its peak 22 years ago, and the leader of the Qionghua Sect in front of him, Taiqing, was the strongest member of the Qionghua Sect who died in the battle in the Illusory Underworld.
"I want to join the Qionghua Sect, are there any restrictions?"
Master Taiqing was stunned as soon as Le Yuan opened his mouth, but soon his face looked happy. He couldn't even see Le Yuan's strength clearly, and Le Yuan's identity was unknown, but instead of making him an enemy, it was better to take him under his wing and make him his own.
"Okay! But if you want to officially get started, you need to go through a test after you recover from your injuries. You'd better rest more now!"
Following this day's meeting, Le Yuan stayed in Qionghua Sect for three more days.
