Journey To Longevity - Chapter 978
Xuanyuan Secret Realm is only 3,200 miles in radius, which is not that big for a Nascent Soul cultivator.
Du Yu and Zhang Shiping were not flying fast, but along the way they met more than a dozen Jindan or Zongmen monks in the foundation stage.
As soon as these people saw the two ancestors coming, they all backed away, bowed and saluted, and did not dare to stand up and leave until the two passed by.
In this secret realm, Xuanyuanzong’s Yuanying Patriarch, Jindan elders, true disciples, inner disciples and some outer disciples all have their own practice places here.
Of course, there are not many outer sect disciples in this part, they are all those with three or four spiritual roots, but each has their own skills. If these people can establish foundations and even golden cores in the future, the favors that the sect has given today will naturally be rewarded accordingly in the future.
Looking at the entire Nanzhou, there are only five sects who are willing to put in the effort to train such monks. Other ordinary Nascent Soul sects are more laissez-faire, as for whether these people can break through, it all depends on personal chance.
In the past two to three thousand years, among these disciples with low qualifications, there have also been Golden Core monks. Thousands of years ago, Qiu Cong once accepted a famous disciple from this group of people, that is, Chen Zhenren who died more than two hundred years ago. It is a pity for this person, although his spiritual root talent is insufficient, but his attainments in formation are not weak, the only thing is that his own fortune is not good enough after all. With great difficulty, he had reached the late stage of the golden core, but he was injured at this moment, and the vitality of the golden core was damaged, so that his cultivation base would not advance but retreat, and his lifespan was exhausted.
Otherwise, if this person can conceive a baby, then Qiu will have a successor in the formation. As for the juniors of the Li family, they are only in the late stage of Qi refining, and it is still unknown whether they will succeed or not. Du Yu and Zhang Shiping, no matter whether it was for Qiu Cong’s sake or for the sake of the sect, all they could do was to take care of him and ensure that this person could form alchemy.
But this person has dual spiritual roots and the body of a wood spirit, and is expected to conceive a baby!
Although spiritual roots and physical fitness become less and less important as one goes to the later stage of practice, but without these at the beginning, how difficult it is to break through to a high level! Right now among the Yuanying patriarchs of the Xuanyuan Sect, only Zhang Shiping has the three-spiritual-root aptitude, the others either have dual-spiritual roots, different-spiritual roots or sky-spiritual roots, and they also have different spirit bodies and bloodlines.
In addition, the Tongxuan Secret Realm is the place where the sect uses to cultivate various elixir.
As for the other three secret realms of Luanfeng, Youtu, and Hunxing, this is not the case.
In the two secret realms of Luanfeng and Youtu, apart from Zhang Shiping and several Yuanying ancestors, the rest of Xuanyuanzong monks are not allowed to enter unless they are summoned.
The rest of the secret realm of Qingxing is the back road that Xuanyuanzong has reserved for its own inheritance since ancient times. When the small world is no longer suitable for monks to practice, the sect retreats inside and completely seals off the secret realm.
For more than 100,000 years, each generation of headmasters will put some spiritual objects obtained by the sect into it to cultivate their inspiration. In addition, in order to prevent the junior monks from making plans for this secret realm, the Venerable You Tu in the sect deliberately left Juao as a guardian before leaving, so as to prevent some unscrupulous people among the juniors from flying into the spirit. Before the boundary, the secret realm was searched and emptied.
Zhang Shiping couldn’t help being a little puzzled about the existence of this senior Ao.
After all, even if it is an ordinary Mahayana monk, after such a long time, his lifespan may have been exhausted.
As the saying goes, it is a thousand-year king and an 80,000-year tortoise, but no matter what race the monks reach the fusion period, there will not be too much difference in lifespan between them, only around one or two thousand.
This is limited by the number of days. In the secular world, the mortals of the human race are sixty sixty years old and seventy years old, and those ancient trees can live for hundreds of thousands of years. There is a huge gap in life between the two.
Although once they set foot on the practice, the lifespan of monks of all races has increased more or less.
Human Nascent Soul monks have a lifespan of more than two thousand years, which is twenty or thirty times longer than the short life span of ordinary people.
However, this kind of change is actually not too big. The most serious thing is that creatures such as the morning fungus and crickets seem to be ignorant of the age, but if they have a chance, they can live forever and watch the vicissitudes of life.
As for the mountains and rivers that have existed since ancient times, even if they are enlightened, if they fail to set foot on a higher level, there will be a moment when the wisdom will dissipate.
Half an hour later, Du Yu and Zhang Shiping flew over a green mountain shone with spiritual light.
From the foot of the mountain, three black-robed monks with imperial weapons flew over and came in front of the two of them. These three people were different from the ordinary sect cultivators. When they saw the two Yuanying ancestors, they neither saluted nor made a sound, and just stood upright like puppets!
Zhang Shiping mobilized his divine sense to sweep away, and noticed that one of them had withered aura, and seeing that he was not far from death, he stretched out his hand expressionlessly from several feet away.
I saw wisps of greenish-white aura overflowing from this man’s black robe mask, congealing in his palm like mist or smoke.
When the breath dissipated, the black-robed man lost all vitality and fell powerlessly downward.
But just after falling less than a few zhang, Zhang Shiping had a thought, and he put the corpse and magic weapon into the belt of Sumeru.
As the head of the sect, Du Yu turned a blind eye to such a scene, and the other two men in black robes did not move at all.
Zhang Shiping opened his lips slightly, and inhaled the breath in his hand.
After finishing the matter, he said without changing his expression:
“Currently in the Zongmen prison, is there any suitable foundation-builder cultivator who can make a puppet? You need to be younger~www.mtlnovel.com~ Otherwise, it will only take thirty or fifty years!”
These black-robed people are his slaves who have been restrained by his spirit and soul, and who will never forget life and death. Not many people, only three people.
In the past, before Zhongli practiced the “Zuo Wang Sutra” and closed himself to death, he asked Zhang Shiping to protect him, so he sent all three servants here for safety reasons.
“Tianfeng is responsible for the matter of punishment and prison. If you ask him about this, I don’t know. But there are always some unscrupulous foundation-building casual cultivators who practice evil methods. There should be suitable candidates. But right now Tianfeng has it.” Jinwu Huo Lingyun is preparing to practice in seclusion, he has discussed with me, see if you want to take over the sect’s punishment, prison and reward and punishment?” Du Yu said slowly.
There is nothing wrong with the matter of punishment and prison, but this is the authority of the deputy head. With this kind of power in hand, the sect has to rely on its breath from down to Qi refining, up to Jindan.
But after hearing this, Zhang Shiping frowned slightly.
He has devoted himself to cultivating for more than six hundred years, and he is not keen on this kind of power. Unlike ordinary people, the power possessed by monks does not lie in these external forces, but in himself.
It’s just that since Du Yu and Tianfeng have already discussed it, it’s not easy for him to save their face.
So after thinking for a while, he nodded and said:
“Before Tianfeng leaves the customs, I can take his place first. But there is no need to spread the word about it. Let Wen Jiu come out on your side, and I will send Tian Wu. It can be regarded as giving the two of them some experience. If there is an undecided I’ll deal with it later.”
