Chapter 576 The Millennium Competition
Upon hearing this, the leader of the Great Emperor Haoran Heavenly Sect waved his hands and said with a smile: "The Ancient Buddha Heavenly Sect of the West Extreme is different from our Immortal Sect. Their Buddha Lord is one level higher than the Prajna Realm in the Buddha Sect, and is different from Nirvana. The same as the powerful monks in the realm, so the Buddha Lord of the Ancient Buddha Heaven Sect in the West is the same nameless generation as the one in the Nirvana realm. I have met Lord Wuxin once five hundred years ago. This person is quite ambitious. I want to come. Not willing to succumb to our Great Emperor Haoran Tianzong, we want to become the number one sect in the ancient world.”
"Hmph, my great emperor, Haoran Tianzong, is the authentic sect of immortality. If Buddhism wants to be superior to us, it is nothing more than an idiot's dream."
"Senior Brother Wang is right. Although the Buddhist practices of the Ancient Buddha Celestial Sect in the West emphasize the cultivation of both body and law, this also leads to them being unable to succeed at high levels or at low levels. At least the number of powerful monks in the realm of gods is greater than ours. It’s a lot less, but if you still want to overwhelm us, it’s completely reckless.”
"We must not underestimate the Ancient Buddha Celestial Sect of the West. The reason why we are able to overwhelm them is entirely because our Emperor Haoran Celestial Sect can defend our vast territory. Otherwise, if they control many populated and prosperous lands, , spread the faith, and with the help of the collected faith, a large number of powerful people can be born in a short time. By then, it will be very difficult for us to regain the territory. "
The monks surnamed Wang and the middle-aged monks surnamed Chi fell silent when they heard this. They also knew that what the Emperor Haoran Tian Sect said was true. The scary thing about the Buddhist sect lies in their cultivation methods, not in their cultivation methods. Like the immortal monks, they steadily improve their magic power and realm by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
As long as there are enough believers, the improvement of the realm of Buddhist monks is very terrifying.
The Ancient Buddha Celestial Sect of the West Pole usually selects some extremely talented disciples and directly gives them a vast territory to develop followers and quickly improve their level of cultivation.
Therefore, if you encounter a disciple of the Prajna Realm Buddha Sect who is less than a hundred years old in the Ancient Buddha Sect of the West, there is no need to be surprised. This person is probably born in this way, and such disciples are also seen in the Ancient Buddha Sect of the West. He enjoys a high status and is called the son of Buddha.
Nowadays, the thirteen golden bodies of Bodhi Buddha Lotus and Bodhisattva of the Ancient Buddha Celestial Sect in the West are all advanced from the Buddha's disciples.
"Okay, Junior Brother Chi also knows the origin of the Dragon Spirit Illusion. Now it is better to go to the Eastern Territory as soon as possible to explore the movements of the demon clan. As for going to the Ancient Buddha Tianzong in the West to meet the Lord Buddha, the two junior brothers do not need to replace me. Worry, if they can take me down, that’s what they can do, and besides, I still have this little confidence.”
"According to the order." After hearing this, the middle-aged monk surnamed Chi did not say much. After bowing and saluting, he turned and left.
After the middle-aged monk surnamed Chi left, the monk surnamed Wang asked: "Sect Master, do you know that our Emperor Haoran Tianzong has another uninvited guest?"
Hearing this, the leader of the Great Emperor Haoran Tianzong couldn't help but smile slightly: "Our Great Emperor Haoran Tianzong is the leader of the Immortal Dao. After all, the Immortal Dao in the world is one family. Moreover, since the birth of our sect, the Immortal Dao Sect has been ordered by me, the Great Heavenly Order. Yes, I know that the person you mentioned is an elder from the Southern Territory. As long as he has no ill intentions, let him be his for the time being. If he can advance to become a great monk one day, he can be recruited. "
"It turns out that the sect leader already knows the origin and identity of this person, so I won't go into details. This person is currently practicing a secret technique in the Yin Yang Valley. After my investigation, my junior brother, it is very likely that he is the long-lost Taixu Ziwu Divine Light. "
"Taixu Ziwu Divine Light?" Upon hearing this, the Emperor Haoran Tianzong showed a surprised expression on his face.
"Taixu Ziwu Divine Light, our sect's Haoxuan Demon-Destroying Divine Light, and Liangyi Aurora Palace's Liangyi Qingci Yuanguang are known as the three great divine lights. The refining method of Taixu Ziwu Divine Light has evolved with the development of tens of thousands of years ago. Master Ziwu disappeared and was lost for a long time. I didn’t expect that this person would get it.”
"Yes, once this Taixu Ziwu Divine Light is fully developed, it will be extremely powerful, and it will be easy to kill enemies by crossing levels. Should we let this person continue to practice? If this person once masters it, he will have evil thoughts in his heart. Even though he is against our Tianzong It won’t be a big wave, but it will also cause our Tianzong to suffer losses.”
When the Great Emperor Haoran Tianzong heard this, his face showed a pensive expression. After a moment, he said: "When is the next Millennium Competition?"
The monk surnamed Wang heard that the sect master changed the topic and asked about the Thousand-Year Competition. Although he felt strange, he still raised his hand and said: "There will be a Jiazi in the next Thousand-Year Competition. When the sect master asked about it, why? "
The Great Emperor Haoran Tianzong smiled mysteriously and said: "You have been in our scripture library for nearly a month, how can you not pay the reading fee?"
When the monk surnamed Wang heard this, his eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "Senior brother, do you mean to let this person participate in this thousand-year competition?"
"Yes, the Millennium Competition, once in a thousand years, is a grand occasion for the four heavenly sects. Every victory or defeat represents how much resources each sect can control in the next thousand years. Our Emperor Haoran Tianzong has won the first place three times in a row. , this is why the two Dragon Spirit mineral veins in the Eternal Forest have been occupied by us, and the other three sects have already been eyeing them. If it were not due to the agreement between the four major heavenly sects, they would have taken action long ago. "
"The only restriction for the Millennium Competition is that the age of cultivation cannot exceed ten Jiazi, which is six hundred years old. In our sect, there are no great monks who are no more than six hundred years old, even those in the late Nascent Soul stage. There are only a few second-generation elders, but we can only choose from among them."
"Although I have never met that person, he is one of the candidates personally selected by Uncle Fu. With Uncle Fu's guarantee, you should no longer worry about this person causing trouble to us, right? "
Upon hearing this, the monk surnamed Wang showed a solemn expression on his face and bowed respectfully to the head of the Great Emperor Haoran Tianzong.
"Since Uncle Fu values this person so much, Junior Brother, I definitely don't dare to have any objections. It's just that Uncle Fu has always played in the world. Even Junior Brother, I haven't seen him in nearly a thousand years."
"Haha, it seems to be a coincidence. Before this person had cultivated immortality, Uncle Fu saw that he had spiritual roots and enlightened him. But even Uncle Fu never thought that this person could actually cultivate. To reach today's realm, and according to Master Fu, this person has only been practicing for more than 400 years."
"What is this person's state? Junior brother, although I can sense that this person should be a Yuanying monk, I can't tell what state he has reached. This person's magical powers and secrets are indeed extremely mysterious."
"According to what Master Fu said, this person should have just advanced to the late stage of Nascent Soul."
The monk surnamed Wang showed a frightened expression on his face: "It took more than four hundred years to cultivate to the late stage of Nascent Soul? Isn't it very likely that this person will advance to become a god within a thousand years?"
Ordinary cultivators don't know what this means, but as one of the fourteen second-generation chief disciples of the Emperor Haoran Tianzong, the monk surnamed Wang knows that the Nascent Soul of more than four hundred years is a genuine great cultivator. In the later stage, it is very possible to advance to become a god within a thousand years, and if it is possible to advance to become a god within a thousand years, then with the astonishing life span of more than two thousand years of the god-transformation monk, it is very likely that he can soar through the sky in his lifetime. Entering the upper realm.
Ascending to the spiritual world is something that even the monk surnamed Wang himself does not dare to hope for. The great monk is already the pinnacle of power in this world in name, but only after he has truly reached this realm do he realize that although the great monk looks beautiful on the surface, he is actually full of ambitions. The helplessness.
Under normal circumstances, it would take less than a thousand years to reach the realm of a great monk. However, as long as one can cultivate to the realm of a great monk, his lifespan will reach a terrifying 1,600 years.
In other words, there are still about six hundred years before the life span is exhausted. For people of their level, these six hundred years are just a blink of an eye.
If you can go one step further and advance to become a god in these six hundred years, you can gain another five hundred years of life. It is said that monks in the late stage of becoming a god can live to nearly three thousand years.
And if you want to cultivate from a great monk to a god in six hundred years, the hope is basically very slim. Unless you get a great opportunity, such as getting a Dragon Spirit Dao Fruit, there may still be hope.
So he knew very well that if this person was really in the late Nascent Soul stage and was only over four hundred years old, if he could keep it up and get some opportunities to advance to the rank of great monk within three hundred years, then there would be a high probability that he would become a great monk within a thousand years. Advanced transformation into a god.
Even among god-transformation monks, those who are less than a thousand years old are considered geniuses. The key is that they are likely to ascend to the upper world in their lifetime.
Cultivation of immortals and Taoism is not the end point for being a great monk. For most immortal cultivators, after they first set foot on the path to immortality, they are confident and look forward to one day being able to practice to become gods and ascend to the upper world.
But as the realm of cultivation improves, it is discovered that the road to immortality is not a broad road. Some people stop at the Qi refining stage, and the better ones reluctantly practice to the foundation building stage. From then on, they find that the realm cannot be improved. After decades of spirit After spending time, I also lost confidence, so I simply returned to secular things and branched out.
It can be said that the two levels of Qi refining and foundation building can wipe out more than 90% of immortal cultivators. After cultivating to the golden elixir stage, one can suddenly gain a life span of five hundred years that is beyond the reach of ordinary people. monks and mortals.
Only when I reached the Golden Core stage did I realize that five hundred years was just a blink of an eye compared to the long river of time.
When I worked hard and tried hard to advance to the Nascent Soul, I finally found that my realm could no longer be improved. This was true for ten years and hundreds of years.
In the end, he only lived a few hundred years longer than ordinary people, and ended up with a handful of loess.
And a great monk like the monk surnamed Wang is already at the pinnacle of immortal cultivators, but he is still full of confusion about his future path to immortality. He is now more than 1,200 years old. To put it bluntly, he can only live for four more years at most. More than a hundred years.
Originally, he planned to find a place with sufficient aura to enter the realm of death if he could no longer advance to become a god within three hundred years. If he could advance to become a god, he would break out of the cocoon. Otherwise, he would just sit there. Transformation, re-entering reincarnation.
Every time I think about this, I feel extremely desolate in my heart, but this is the path to immortality. Only through continuous improvement can we overcome the thorns and move forward, otherwise we will end up at zero.
The monk surnamed Wang is not a fool. He already knows from the mouth of the Great Emperor Haoran Tianzong that that person must be appreciated by Master Fu, so this person is definitely not an enemy. Even if he is an enemy, Master Fu can kill him with his backhand. Erase this person.
Moreover, if this person really masters the Taixu Ziwu Divine Light and participates in the Millennium Competition, then the hope of Emperor Haoran Tianzong to continue to be ranked first will undoubtedly be greatly increased.
The Millennium Competition, for the Great Emperor Haoran Tianzong, is even more important than defeating the attack of the Ancient Buddha Tianzong in the West Pole. The Eternal Forest is a piece of land between the Great Emperor Haoran Tianzong and the North Netherworld Heavenly Sect in the north. The vast primeval mountain forest is home to countless monsters.
It is also a trial place for Tianzong disciples, and in this vast area, which is much larger than the Daqian Dynasty and many Buddhist kingdoms in the Western Regions, there are rich mineral vein resources hidden, especially the dozen ore veins that have been discovered. The worst ones are also super large mineral veins, and there are even several Dragon Spirit mineral veins.
A long time ago, in order to compete for the resources in the Eternal Forest, the four major heavenly sects had a protracted war. Countless immortal cultivators were killed and injured. This war lasted for hundreds of years. In the end, the four major heavenly sects passed He Tan decided the way to obtain resources, which was the Millennium Competition.
Every thousand years, each of the four heavenly sects sends five monks. The sect with the most points will get the most mineral resources. Only through this method can large-scale fighting between the four heavenly sects be avoided.
After all, the fight for resources for cultivating immortals is different from the current invasion of the Ancient Buddha Celestial Sect in the West. Resources are the basis of the Celestial Sect's survival, and there is no possibility of compromise. Compared with the death of some ordinary mortal soldiers, there is naturally no comparison.
It is said that the world is unkind and treats all things as stupid dogs. This is exactly the case.
"Junior Brother Wang, I have something that I want you to do personally."
After a while, the Great Emperor Haoran Tianzong spoke again.
"Master, please give me your instructions."
"I don’t need to elaborate on the news of the birth of the demon, but the birth of the demon also indicates that there will no longer be peace between heaven and earth, and a catastrophe is likely to occur. Although the clone of the Holy Concubine is still suppressed in the Dragon Spirit Illusion, once its subordinates gather With three souls and seven souls together, we will definitely find ways to break the seal. If this holy concubine's clone is born, there will never be peace in the Middle Earth. "
"The sect leader is worried about the Nine Infants Blood Refining Saint Sect?"
"Yes, the Nine Infants Blood Refining Saint Sect, although we rank it among the four major heavenly sects, it is the sect that all three of our heavenly sects want to kill, because the Nine Infants Blood Refining Saint Sect The first sect leader was the attendant of the holy concubine’s clone.”
"What? Is there such a thing?" The monk surnamed Wang showed a look of horror when he heard this. He had never known that the Jiuying Blood Refining Sect, one of the four major heavenly sects, was actually related to demons.
"This matter has always been kept as a secret. Except for the sect masters of several major heavenly sects and monks who have no longer been born, basically no one knows about it. Originally, we all thought that the demon had already been extinct after millions of years. , I didn’t expect that the soul of a powerful monk in the spiritual world could live for such a long time. Even I dare not imagine it, but the birth of the demon is already a fact. I am worried that the Nine Infants Blood Refining Saint Sect will provide shelter to the demon, so I want to ask The junior brother went to Beiming Youdu Tianzong and told the master of Beiming Youdu Tianzong face to face. The two Tiansects are natural enemies. After knowing this matter, Beiming Youdu Tianzong will not sit still and wait for death. of."
