Chapter 174 The Five Hells Illusion

Chapter 174 The Five Hells Illusion

It's really useless for the outer sect elders to argue here. No matter what the outcome of their discussion is, Senior Uncle Su can overturn it with just one word.

What makes them most fearful is that Master Su is not from a cultivator family, but an out-and-out casual cultivator. Moreover, he has never had a dual cultivator since his cultivation, so he has no descendants, and the family has no way to survive. Talk about.

For a long time, Master Su, although he did not say anything, has been extremely dissatisfied with the major families in Dancao Mountain. However, he is very scheming and does not reveal many things. Moreover, he is dedicated to pursuing the great road and is unwilling to do so. He interfered too much in the affairs of the sect, so everything has always been fine.

But Master Chang Qing does not think that Master Su will always be like this, and judging from his nearly two hundred years of life experience, Master Su is probably waiting for an opportunity, and the decrease in the number of Foundation Establishment Pills this time may be That opportunity.

Master Changqing knew this very well. Although he also wanted to bring more benefits to the family, at this juncture, he also knew the principle of being wise and protecting himself, so he chose to wait and see what happened.

Your Highness Cuixia, Tao Ling also looked on with cold eyes. She had long been dissatisfied with these old guys in front of her, but she also had no intention of making a show of it, and as her true disciple, it would be unavoidable to reverse the current situation in Dancao Mountain. Too arrogant.

Moreover, her identity this time was just to convey the refining status of the Foundation Establishment Pill on behalf of her master Wu Daozi. As for how the subsequent Foundation Establishment Pills would be distributed, she did not care.

Suddenly, the temperature in the Cuixia Palace dropped sharply, and the entire hall seemed to change from a hot summer to a freezing cold winter in an instant, and everyone's expressions couldn't help but change.

A gust of cold wind suddenly blew in the Cuixia Palace, and in the center of the hall, a group of light flashing with misty blue light suddenly appeared. This group of light stretched rapidly, and in the blink of an eye it formed a human shape. The human shape appeared among everyone The horrified eyes became clearer and clearer, and soon a middle-aged monk in his forties appeared in front of everyone.

This man has a fair face and no beard, a slender body, his hands behind his back, and a smile on his face with regular features.

As this person appeared, an astonishing spiritual pressure suddenly swept through the entire Cuixia Palace.

After seeing the face of the visitor clearly, everyone including Master Changqing couldn't help but stood up and bowed to salute.

"See Uncle Su."

"See Uncle Su."

"Get up." The white-faced monk looked around at everyone and then said calmly. With his words, the huge spiritual pressure that enveloped his body began to dissipate, making everyone who bowed their hands and saluted breathed a sigh of relief.

"I came here in the form of Xiao Hanguang to convey the decree of Patriarch Tianyi."

"Disciples, please obey the decree respectfully." After hearing this, everyone knelt down with respectful expressions on their faces.

Ancestor Tianyi is the only Nascent Soul Ancestor in the entire Dancao Mountain. In a sense, the reason why Dancao Mountain has been able to thrive for so long is largely due to the presence of this Yuanying Ancestor.

Facing Ancestor Tianyi, even if Master Changchun is the head of Dancao Mountain, he does not dare to show any slightness. For anyone in Dancao Mountain, in front of this ancestor, they are like floating clouds, and life and death are also among them. in a moment.

Seeing everyone kneeling in obeisance, the white-faced monk showed a look of satisfaction on his face, and said lightly: "In this cave trial, the purple spirit flowers obtained were more than 20% less than in previous years, except for leaving a few for refining the green flames. Apart from the pills, the rest of the foundation-building pills produced are 30% less than before. "

"This is also caused by the rise and fall of heaven's destiny and cannot be resolved by human power. However, the reduction in the number of foundation-building pills will inevitably lead to a considerable number of our sect's outer disciples who meet the foundation-building conditions being unable to obtain foundation-building pills. Unable to successfully build the foundation.”

"For many years, the cultivation resources of Dancao Mountain have been tilted towards each family, resulting in unfair distribution and burying boundless resentment among low-level disciples."

Having said this, the white-faced monk glanced at everyone coldly. When the outer elders heard the words, they shook their bodies one after another, showing their inner uneasiness, but none of them dared to look up and look directly at the white-faced monk, let alone refute.

With a sneer, the white-faced monk continued: "In view of this, the ancestor decided to open the "Five Hell Illusion" for the continued development of the sect. Anyone who can pass the three realms can obtain a Foundation Building Pill, and from today on Since then, the "Five Hells Fantasy" has been opened once a year.

"The issuance of Foundation Establishment Pills is determined by the number of people who have passed through the Five Hells Illusion. The previous standards for issuance of Foundation Establishment Pills are now invalid."

"Open the illusion of the five hells?" After hearing this, Changchun's old face, which had not been moved for decades, suddenly changed.

"Uncle Su, the five hells in the illusion are extremely dangerous. Although there will be no danger of life, once the pass is failed, it will have a profound impact on the monk's own Taoist heart. It is precisely based on this that seven hundred years ago, Tian Yi Lao After the birth of the baby, Zu announced the suspension of the Five Prisons Fantasy Trial, now? "

The white-faced monk looked at Master Changqing expressionlessly and said calmly: "This decision was made by Ancestor Tianyi. Wang Daoxuan, are you questioning the Ancestor's decision?"

Immediately, Master Chang Qing was so frightened that his face turned pale. He hurriedly knelt down on the ground again, kowtowing repeatedly, and begged for sin. He felt extremely regretful at this moment, and questioned the ancestor of Tianyi. This was a serious crime for going to the Lingzhan Platform. Even though he is the head of Dancao Mountain, he will not be unreasonable if he angers Patriarch Tianyi.

The remaining dozen or so outer sect elders all looked pale and did not dare to take a breath, let alone intercede for Master Changqing. Some of them were even secretly happy in their hearts. After all, Master Changqing had occupied the position of leader. Having been in power for more than sixty years, the rest of their family has always been under the influence.

The white-faced monk looked at everyone coldly, and after a moment, he said in a slightly gentle tone: "Get up, the five hells illusion is opened to select those with a firm heart from the outer disciples, and to allocate buildings in this way. Ji Dan, this is also the fairest thing to do. Don’t think that the ancestors don’t know about Xiao Jiujiu in the hearts of all your major families.”

After hearing this, everyone stood up cautiously, but they did not dare to take a breath and stood with their hands down in fear.

"But this cannot be entirely your fault. We cultivators do not deny the relatives of our own cultivators and use our power to bias our own people. It is reasonable. Ancestor Tianyi also understands this, but the sect The selection of talents must not be determined by family relationships. If this continues, our Dancao Mountain will inevitably decline and be unable to recover. "

Seeing everyone nodding in agreement, the white-faced monk continued: "It is imperative to open the illusion of the five hells. However, if all five realms are opened, it will be too difficult for the outer disciples to pass, so anyone who can Those who pass the three realms can get a foundation-building pill, which is the token of the five hells. With this, you can open the illusion. Daoxuan, you will be responsible for this matter. The start time is set to be one month from now. ”

Wang Daoxuan took a two-inch long silver token from the white-faced monk's hand, with the word "Five Prisons" written on it in ancient seal script. After taking the token, he slowly stepped back a few steps and stood with his hands hanging down.

"Well, the decree of the ancestor has been transmitted to me. I hope you will not slack off in following the decree of the ancestor. When the illusion of the five hells is closed next month, I will personally go out and distribute the building materials to all the outer disciples who have passed the trial. Ji Dan, and to the top ten who escape from the Five Hells Illusion in the shortest time, Tianyi Ancestor will also distribute three spiritual weapons and seven top-quality magic weapons to encourage the lower-level disciples in the sect."

"Spirit weapon?" The eyes of several outer sect elders couldn't help but reveal a burning look. You must know that spiritual weapons are also very tempting to them, the outer sect elders. In a large cultivating family like theirs, unless someone comes out with gold, Monk Dan, otherwise he would not have many spiritual weapons.

"Furthermore, the top three people who receive spiritual weapon rewards will be personally accepted as registered disciples by me. Once the foundation is successfully established, they will officially join my sect and become one of my true disciples." The white-faced monk said another one. Information that left everyone stunned.

"Okay, the ancestor's decree has been transmitted. You must abide by it with all your strength. If anything goes wrong and the ancestor is angry, you can think about the consequences yourself." After the white-faced monk finished speaking, his body began to become blurry again, until he finally disappeared. The cyan light spots disappeared.

The cold atmosphere in Cuixia Palace also disappeared, and everyone stood up one after another, feeling relieved in their hearts.

However, they were not in a good mood. They never dreamed that the illusion of the Five Prisons, which had been closed for hundreds of years, would be reopened. It seemed that Patriarch Tianyi was determined to rectify the family power in the sect.

This is not a good thing for them. Seven hundred years ago, the ancestor of Tianyi had just condensed the Nascent Soul, and the issuance of the Foundation Establishment Pill at that time was based on the outer sect of the Qi Refining Period within the sect. It is decided whether the disciple can pass through the three realms in the illusion of five hells.

Any outer sect disciple who can successfully pass the three realms will be given a foundation-building pill. Seven hundred years ago, two to three thousand purple spirit flowers could be picked from each cave trial. The five major sects each year The number of Foundation Establishment Pills distributed was more than a hundred.

However, there are less than a hundred outer disciples in the Qi Refining Period who can pass through the first three realms of the Five Hells Illusion Realm. This leads to an embarrassing situation. In addition to the portion of the Foundation Establishment Pill issued each year, there is still a surplus, and in Tianyi Lao After the ancestor was promoted to the ancestor of Nascent Soul, he felt this, and the ancestor Tianyi issued a decree. In addition to selecting the outer sect disciples in the Qi refining period through the illusion of the five hells every year, the major cultivation families can also recommend the outstanding ones within the clan. A disciple in the Qi refining stage was given the Foundation Building Pill.

And because although the Five Hells Illusion Realm can indeed select outstanding outer disciples, the trials are too harsh, causing many outer disciples to have a collapse of their Taoist hearts after participating in the trials, so it was only after a hundred years that Tian One of the ancestors decided to cancel it, and instead the elders of the outer sects in the sect jointly recommended the outer sect disciples to be given the Foundation Establishment Pill.

In this way, due to the increase in the number of disciples of the cultivator family in Dancao Mountain, they gradually took control of the underlying power in Dancao Mountain, and the distribution of the Foundation Establishment Pill also changed its taste. Through the cave trial, they entered the outer gate of the sect's Qi Refining Period. Although the disciples will be given a foundation-building pill according to the rules, it is unknown whether it will actually fall into the hands of these people in the end.

Moreover, the outer sect elders with family backgrounds in Dancao Mountain used various means to take the foundation-building pills that should have belonged to them from the outer sect disciples who had entered the sect through the cave trial. There are endless cases of such things being exchanged forcibly or at a very small price.

However, as an outer disciple of the Qi Refining Period at the lowest level of the sect, with his background as a casual cultivator, although his heart was full of resentment, he was unable to do anything. In this case, there were endless incidents of family members being assassinated, even just Last year, there were seven or eight monks in the Qi Refining Stage who were escorted to the Spirit-Slaying Platform.
