Chapter 334 Master Hanmu
"When you hear this name, do you feel a little strange? Why is there such a weird sect name?"
Seeing Xiao Lin nodding, Su Qingyun said with a smile: "Don't say it's strange for you. I was traveling in the Southern Territory back then, and when I heard this name for the first time, I also felt very strange."
"But later, after I learned about the origin of Xiaohan Temple, I didn't dare to look down upon him at all. Instead, I respected the owner of Xiaohan Temple very much."
"The owner of Xiaohan Temple?" Xiao Lin was surprised. In his opinion, since Xiaohan Temple is as famous as the other six ancient sects, and it also dominates a large spiritual stone vein, it goes without saying that this sect is stronger than the other six ancient sects. The Great Ancient Sect is the one.
How could the word master appear in such a sect?
Su Qingyun was obviously well aware of Xiao Lin's doubts, and he said, "Because this Xiaohan Temple has never accepted a disciple, and there is only one person living in it, known as Master Hanmu."
"A sect by one person?" Xiao Lin was really shocked this time. Since his cultivation, he has also traveled far into the Southern Territory and entered several medium-sized fairy cities. Even if he is not well-informed, he is not a frog in the well. .
But this is the first time that Xiao Lin has heard of this one-person sect since his cultivation. Moreover, one person monopolizes a large spiritual vein, and the other six ancient sects in the Southern Territory have never thought of taking this one. Grab the large spiritual vein.
In Xiao Lin's opinion, there is only one reason why such a strange scene can occur, and that is that Master Hanmu is definitely an unfathomable cultivator, and his realm has reached a level that cannot be reached by cultivators from the other six ancient sects. situation.
"Isn't this Master Hanmu a god-forming monk?" Xiao Lin said in shock.
"Shen Transformation Monk?" Shaking his head, Su Qingyun said with a smile: "Shen Transformation Monk is already at the pinnacle of this world. Not to mention you and me, even the ancestors of Tianyi and others have probably never seen a real person. A cultivator in the transformation stage."
"Furthermore, according to legend, once one enters the Divine Transformation Stage, they will disappear from the world of cultivation inexplicably. Many high-level monks suspect that once one enters the Divine Transformation Stage, they will find a hidden place, practice hard in seclusion, and prepare to meet The ascension is over."
"Ascension Tribulation?" When Xiao Lin heard this word, his face was full of longing and longing. What is the purpose of practicing Taoism? It is nothing more than immortality. Entering the stage of becoming a god in his lifetime is undoubtedly the best thing in this world. The monk's ultimate goal.
But Xiao Lin also knows that this goal is still too far away for him. Now he only hopes that he can successfully form the elixir in the near future, and he will be thankful.
"For both you and me, the realm of spiritual transformation is too remote. Master Hanmu is not a spiritual transformation monk, but a Nascent Soul Dzogchen cultivator who is only one step away from spiritual transformation, which is also commonly known in our world of cultivation. "The great monk."
"Great monk?" This was also a term that was out of reach for him.
"Master Hanmu is the only great monk in the Southern Territory. Although the other six ancient sects have many disciples, there are often dozens of Jindan monks, and there are also several Nascent Soul monks in the sect, but compared to In this Xiaohan Temple, it’s like a small witch can see a big witch.”
When Xiao Lin heard this, he showed a speechless expression. He naturally understood that facing a great monk, even one of the other six ancient sects, if he wanted to deal with him, he had to think carefully, because it would not be possible. , the entire sect may become extinct, and the inheritance may be interrupted.
Although Xiao Lin has never really witnessed the life and death battle of Yuanying monks, he has begun to understand that in the world of cultivation, once entering the Yuanying stage, it is basically impossible for low-level monks to defeat high-level monks through numbers. of.
Just like a dozen Jindan monks, facing a Nascent Soul monk, unless they use some powerful formations, once they take action, they will basically be massacred by the Nascent Soul monk.
In Xiao Lin's view, this is also the fundamental reason why Master Hanmu can dominate a large high-grade spiritual vein.
"Then once Master Hanmu passes away, won't Xiaohan Temple's inheritance be cut off?" Xiao Lin asked.
"The thoughts of such an expert are beyond the realm of Master. However, for thousands of years, a legend has been spread among the many monks who have been to Dutian Xiaohan Realm, saying that Master Hanmu has been Waiting for a destined person."
"Waiting for the destined person?" Xiao Lin was speechless. In Xiao Lin's view, this so-called destined person is nothing more than someone who is favored by Master Hanmu, and this range is broad, but for Xiao Lin What is a little strange is that Master Hanmu has been thinking about establishing Xiaohan Temple for a long time.
With the Yuanying monk's lifespan of a thousand and hundreds years, Xiaohan Temple is at least nearly a thousand years old, but he has never found a destined person. I have to say that this is indeed an irony.
"Xiaohan Temple has been inherited for tens of thousands of years." Su Qingyun's words directly overturned Xiao Lin's guess.
"It's just that Xiaohan Temple is passed down from generation to generation, and it is passed down alternately between men and women. Once a female cultivator is in charge of Xiaohan Temple, then Xiaohan Temple will be renamed Xiaohan Temple, and if a male cultivator is in charge of Xiaohan Temple, it will be named after Xiaohan Temple."
"Men and women alternate inheritance?" Such a strange news made Xiao Lin stunned. In his opinion, Master Hanmu was really weird. Of course, it was not only Master Hanmu, but also the person who founded this sect. I don’t know how I came up with this method of inheritance.
"Isn't this Master Hanmu afraid that after he is reincarnated or ascended, the sect's inheritance will be cut off before the destined person is found?"
"Your question was also the question of countless people in the Southern Realm. Even the other six ancient sects who coveted that large spiritual vein have been waiting for this purpose, hoping to wait until they are out of business so that they can destroy Xiaohan in one fell swoop. Temple, seize this large spiritual vein."
"But the strange thing is here. Before every master of Xiaohan Temple dies, he will train a disciple who is at least in the middle stage of Nascent Soul. In this way, even if the master dies, the other six ancient sects will not dare to act rashly."
"You must know that a cultivator in the mid-stage of Nascent Soul is also extremely terrifying. Although the other six major sects have late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators in charge, it is not easy to kill this mid-stage cultivator."
"And once it cannot be completely killed and is allowed to escape, the consequences that this sect will suffer can be imagined. Moreover, the successive inheritors of Xiaohan Temple can always break through the middle stage of Yuanying and enter the late stage or even the great stage of Yuanying. Perfection, as a result, the other six ancient sects are afraid to act rashly. "
Such anecdotes sounded like listening to stories to Xiao Lin. Xiao Lin listened with relish, but Xiao Lin knew that what Master Su Qingyun told him should be true.
Thinking of this, Xiao Lin couldn't help but ask: "Is there some connection between Dutian Xiaohan Realm and Xiaohan Temple?"
"Of course there is. The entrance to the Dutian Xiaohan Realm is located in the Ice Phoenix Valley under Baiman Mountain Wangtianya. If you want to enter the Dutian Xiaohan Realm, you must pass through the Dutian Immortal Demon Realm outside the valley. Only through Only after entering the Dutian Immortal and Demonic Illusion Realm can one enter the Ice Phoenix Valley, and then enter it through the entrance of the Dutian Xiaohan Realm.”
Xiao Lin knew that this was the key to what he wanted to know.
"Is it possible that only by entering the Dutian Xiaohan realm can I have a chance to pick the soul-hooking grass?"
"That's not necessarily the case. There are also people waiting in the Demon Control Fairy City not far from the Ice Phoenix Valley. Once the Dutian Xiaohan Realm is closed, a small amount of soul-hooking grass will flow into the Fairy City market, and then you can buy it through spiritual stones. However, the prices of these soul-hooking grasses that enter the market are usually extremely high, but even so, you still need a bit of luck to buy them.”
"In addition, the soul-hooking grass can only be found in the Dutian Xiaohan realm, and the Dutian Xiaohan realm cannot be entered at any time. It is opened once every hundred years, and within a hundred days before the Dutian Xiaohan realm is opened, the outside of the Ice Phoenix Valley The Dutian Immortal Demonic Realm will also open on its own, covering the entire Ice Phoenix Valley."
"And there is only one way to enter the Ice Phoenix Valley. Any other way is suicide. Someone once tried to fly into the Ice Phoenix Valley with a weapon, but as soon as he entered the Dutianxian Demon Realm, something strange happened. That man's whole body was inexplicably burned with Dutian Demonic Fire, and he turned into ashes in the blink of an eye, not even his soul was left behind."
"Dutian Demon Fire?" Although Xiao Lin has practiced the secret techniques of Qingyan Spirit Fire, this is the first time he has heard of Dutian Demon Fire.
"What kind of secret fire technique is this demonic fire? It can even incinerate the soul of a monk instantly?" The green flame spirit fire practiced by Xiao Lin also has the effect of freezing the soul of a monk to death, but this also depends on the cultivation level of the other party. Realm, if the other person's realm is much higher than yourself.
Then even if the whole body is frozen by Xiao Lin's Qingyan Spiritual Fire, the soul can be released at the moment when the physical body is shattered, and he can escape.
Although Xiao Lin didn't know the realm of the monk who wanted to use the weapon control method to enter the Ice Phoenix Valley, he thought that anyone who dared to do so would at least not be lower than his own realm.
Su Qingyun pondered for a while and continued: "You may have never heard of Dutian Demon Fire. Dutian Demon Fire is one of the three major demon flames of the devil. It is a flame several times more terrifying than the infant fire of the Nascent Soul monk. "
"Several times more terrifying than the infant fire of the Nascent Soul cultivator?" Xiao Lin was really shocked. Although he had heard from Su Qingyun's tone that the power of the demon fire should be extraordinary, he did not expect that this was The demonic fire is actually several times more terrifying than the infant fire of the old monster Nascent Soul.
"Dutian Xiaohan Realm is opened once every hundred years, and every time it is opened, countless foundation-building monks from the Southern Territory will be attracted to enter it. Of course, there will also be a small number of Jindan monks who will also enter Dutian Xiaohan Realm."
"Golden elixir monks will also go in?" Xiao Lin was a little puzzled. Although the soul-hooking grass is precious and is the main medicine for refining Bi Yandan, which increases the chance of forming elixirs, it is of no use to golden elixir monks. Could it be that these golden elixir monks are picking soul-hooking grass and taking it out to earn spiritual stones?
"The reason why the Golden elixir monks choose to go in is because it is rumored that the secret of Xiaohan Temple's inheritance is hidden in the territory of Dutian Xiaohan, and the Dutian Immortal Demonic Illusionary Realm excludes monks above Nascent Soul, so every time The opening of Dutian Xiaohan Realm will not only gather a large number of foundation-building stage cultivators, but also attract a lot of golden elixir stage cultivators. The small amount of soul-hooking grass that the teacher mentioned before flowing into the fairy city market is mostly from these. The hand of the golden elixir monk."
"The secret of inheritance?" Xiao Lin suddenly understood. If there really is the secret of Xiaohan Temple's inheritance in Dutian Xiaohan Realm, it is reasonable for those Jindan monks to choose to enter it. However, in this way, there is no doubt that for someone like him The foundation-building monks who entered the Dutian Xiaohan realm purely for the soul-hooking grass added many variables.
