Chapter 291 A grand gathering of cultivation in the mountains
"I understand. Have you had any hallucinations when you were doing visualization recently?" Shi Xuan sat cross-legged on the futon and asked Liu Xi calmly outside the door. Time flies, the vast Dharma Assembly is about to begin, and Liu Xihe Chen Ran and Chen Ran have successfully advanced to the qi nourishing stage in the past three and a half years and started visualization.
Liu Xi respectfully replied: "Reporting to the master, after your advice, there is no more. Moreover, I feel that the effect of nourishing the soul is quite good, and practicing practice will get twice the result with half the effort."
In the early days, when practicing the visualization method perfected by Shi Xuan, Liu Xi and Chen Ran always had problems of one kind or another, and hallucinations was one of them. A small part of it was due to its own reasons, and most of it was due to problems with the techniques given by Shi Xuan. However, after several corrections by Shi Xuan, it was finally on the right track.
Shi Xuan took this opportunity to complete the first step in perfecting the "Shenxiao Zhenfa", deepened his understanding of the "Baolu" and the changes in yin and yang, and the speed at which his own gods and qi merged was also faster.
Shi Xuan nodded: "Then you go down." This made Shi Xuan now feel that he should be able to perfect the "Shenxiao True Method" in twenty years. After all, the "Shenxiao True Method" cannot combine the Tao Seed of Electricity, but it is the foundation. Because of the instability, it does not involve much higher-level things.
…………
Three days later, Tianshu Peak met Tiandian.
When Shi Xuan and Chu Wan'er came in, the elders and disciples participating in the Cangmang Dharma Assembly had already arrived. There were nine disciples in the Qi-entraining stage, five true disciples and elders in the Soul stage, and the middle-grade golden elixir masters Lingxing and Yongxing. As well as Lingqing, top-grade golden elixir masters Lingri and Xie Fangwei. The one who stayed behind in the sect was Hong Zhishan.
"You two disciples are a little late, please forgive me Master Zhang." Seeing that he and Chu Wan'er were the last to arrive, Shi Xuan apologized to Master Zhang.
Before leaving the house, Qingsuo's monkey shamelessly tried to follow him, but was ruthlessly locked up in the cave by Shi Xuan. Ever since Granny Yu sealed the Qingchen Sword in its body, it seemed to have lost its ability to appear and disappear, which made Shi Xuan feel a lot more relaxed.
Head Zhang waved his hands and said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, we have to wait a while before we can set off. This time we are not hosting the Dharma conference, so it would be bad to go early." In this Cangmang Dharma assembly, the Penglai sect is still the three top-ranking ones. Golden elixir ranks first among the eight major sects, so Head Zhang is in a very good mood.
"Junior Brother Shi, this Cangmang Dharma Assembly, I will wait and see what method will enable you to rank seventh in the Tianji Ranking." Xie Fangwei said jokingly. Of course, curiosity is unavoidable, but it involves everyone's secrets. Xie Fangwei has always been embarrassed to ask Shi Xuan about his methods. At this Cangmang Dharma Conference, he finally had the opportunity to see other high-grade golden elixirs that he had accumulated over the years.
Shi Xuan smiled and said: "To be honest, senior brother, it is a sixth-level Taoist skill, the Five Elements Immortal-Destroying Sword." Since he has made up his mind to use the Five Elements Immortal-Destroying Sword as his main method before leaving this world, there is nothing to hide. Yes, everyone will see it when it is used.
Behind her, Chu Wan'er saw her master talking to two elders, so she sneaked aside and started chatting with a few familiar disciples.
"Sixth-level Taoism? Could it be related to the two foreign magical powers?" Lingri on the side was surprised and confused at first when he heard it, but then he remembered the foreign magical powers that Shi Xuan used to exchange for Taoism.
The top-grade Jindan Grandmaster can freely view and learn the Taoist techniques of Tianya Haijiaolou, so Lingri and Xie Fangwei have both seen Gengjin Sword Qi and Virtual Real Fire, but because these two Taoist techniques cannot be advanced, they have never practiced them. .
Anyone who can achieve high-grade golden elixir is not a fool, but Shi Xuan did not expect Lingri to be able to judge that the Five Elements Immortal Destroying Sword was related to the two foreign objects based on the Five Elements and Sixth Level alone. He reacted very quickly: "Exactly . However, this junior still has another opportunity to combine these five external magical powers into one when he achieves the golden elixir. If other disciples learn it, it will be difficult for them to succeed. "
Shi Xuan is telling the truth. The Five Elements Immortal Destroying Sword was deduced by Qingyunzi and combined with the "Baolu" by asking the Lord of Creation. If it were not for the "Baolu" he practiced, when he achieved the top-grade golden elixir, these five external supernatural powers would There is no way to condense it into the Five Elements Immortal Destroying Sword, so even if Shi Xuan dedicated all the five supernatural powers to the sect, the others would only have five more Taoist skills that are difficult to advance.
Lingri didn't care about this at all. Anyway, he already had a high-grade golden elixir. Instead, he said with a little excitement: "It seems that in ancient times, the method of splitting and combining Taoism was indeed a thing."
Several people chatted and laughed casually. After a while, Head Zhang said: "It's almost time, let's set off."
"I will obey the Master's decree." All the monks said in unison.
…………
Cangmang Mountain is the southernmost mountain range of the Nanman Continent. The mountains are undulating, with dangerous peaks and gentle places. There are large trees everywhere that are difficult for a person to hug. Birds and animals are everywhere among them, but human traces are hard to find.
And its nine highest peaks go straight into the sky, which are steep and difficult to climb. If someone can climb all the way to the top of any peak and look down, they will find that in the circle surrounded by these nine peaks, there is a mountain with a radius of several hundred miles. , a gentle valley only ten feet lower than the peak, with red flowers and green willows, surrounded by white clouds, elegant and pleasant.
In the middle of the valley, there is a platform paved with white jade. It does not look big, only a few dozen feet in diameter. But once you step onto the platform, you will find that this is a vast and boundless continent without any other obstacles. It is a fighting stage set up by several sects of spirits.
Around the fighting platform, eight reed canopies have been erected, hanging golden lanterns, colorful flowers, and a dense atmosphere of immortality. In other places, there are monks in twos and threes on high places, almost a thousand in number. Other sect monks or casual cultivators watched, as long as they could pass through the vast mountains, avoid many monsters, and reach the valley.
Therefore, the Cangmang Dharma Assembly is also known as a once-in-a-century event in the world of cultivation.
The Penglai Sect's Baiyun Boat descended from the sky and landed in a deserted place. Yan Qianying, the head of the Guanghan Sect in charge of the Cangmang Dharma Assembly, came up with several disciples.
"Qianying paid a visit to Master Zhang. I didn't expect that your sect would be the last one to come this time." The Guanghan Sect and the Penglai Sect had a close relationship and even married each other. In terms of seniority, Qianying was just one generation behind Zhang Zhengyan. The head of a sect could only use the courtesy of a junior. She looked calmly at this time and looked at the monks of the Penglai sect with a smile on her lips.
Head Zhang touched his palms and smiled and said, "You guys came too early. Our Penglai sect is very punctual." As he spoke, Yan Qianying led him to the canopy belonging to the Penglai sect.
After chatting all the way into the canopy, Shi Xuan saw nearly a thousand monks around him, all pointing at him and others. It was probably the elders who were introducing the masters and masters to the younger ones, so as to prevent them from wandering around the world in the future. Using clever tricks to offend people you shouldn't offend is also showing off your knowledge.
After the people of the Penglai sect settled down in the tent, Yan Qianying smiled and said: "Your sect is still the three top-grade golden elixir masters this time, and I'm afraid they will be the best again." Under normal circumstances, because the top-grade golden elixir will leave in seventy or eighty years In this world, there are always three to four high-grade golden elixirs in the sect, which is the peak situation where outstanding disciples emerge one after another.
Leader Zhang was not modest and accepted with a smile. Instead, he said to Yan Qianying: "Your Guanghan Sect finally has two high-grade golden elixirs this time. Don't let it slip and try to win back a small world."
At the last Cangmang Dharma Assembly, Guanghan Sect, Blood Demon Sect, Tianhuo Sect, and Yaowang Sect all had a top-grade golden elixir master. They could only watch from the sidelines as Penglai Sect, Yingzhou Sect, Netherworld Sect, and Luofu Sect. The factions fought for each other, and it was only from that time that rumors spread in the world of cultivation that these four major sects began to decline.
Yan Qianying glanced at Shi Xuan and Xie Fangwei with a smile and said: "Thanks to Ning Wuque's death more than ten years ago, the Blood Demon Sect now has to confuse only one top-grade Golden Pill Grandmaster." The implication is that there is only one top-grade Golden Pill Grandmaster. The Grandmaster of the Golden Pill, and the Yaowang Sect and the Tianhuo Sect who had only developed the pill for about 20 years were not of concern. Now that the Blood Demon Sect was missing as a major enemy, the Guanghan Sect's hopes were greatly increased.
"But there are so many coincidences in drawing lots." Zhang Zhenren nodded. Only the Penglai sect with superior strength can sit firmly on the Diaoyutai. If Yan Qianying is unlucky and draws the Nether Sect or the Luofu sect, it will be difficult to determine the outcome. .
Although there are many ways to cheat when it comes to drawing lots, under the eyes of Master Yuanshen secretly, no sect can succeed, so it can be considered a relatively fair method.
Now that the eight major sects have arrived and the time is approaching, Yan Qianying walked out of the Penglai sect's reed tent and walked to the fighting stage after a few words of greeting.
After some nonsense in the opening remarks, Yan Qianying quickly announced the start of a martial arts battle between the Qi-entraining period disciples of each major sect. This was an appetizer before the main meal.
After drawing lots, the Penglai faction faces the Tianhuo Sect, the Nether Sect faces the Luofu Sect, the Guanghan Sect faces the Yingzhou Sect, and the Yaowang Sect faces the Blood Demon Sect.
Shi Xuan closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing in the canopy. At the same time, he used his spiritual consciousness to pay attention to the competition in the field. He occasionally pointed out a few words to Chu Wan'er beside him. He brought her here this time to enhance her fighting experience and prepare her for the future. Lay a solid foundation for your travels.
Under Shi Xuan's guidance, Chu Wan'er looked thoughtfully and nodded slowly. Not only did Chu Wan'er benefit from this guidance, but other Divine Soul Stage disciples also gained some understanding. After all, Shi Xuan has achieved great success. Jin Dan is a master of the sect, and his perspective on problems can inspire them.
Regarding what Shi Xuan did, Zhang Zhenren touched his eyebrows with satisfaction. This is the atmosphere of a large sect. Only in this way can the sect develop and grow. So under the leadership of Shi Xuan, other Jindan masters also occasionally Interject a few words of advice.
During the entrainment period, nine people competed separately in each match, which took a long time. It was not until noon that the winner was decided. The Penglai sect lost to the Luofu sect four to five and could only be ranked second. After gaining great freedom, Flying Sword, after understanding the true meaning of the Great Freedom, the Luofu Sect's skills seem to have changed, especially the swordsmanship and swordsmanship are more sharp, which makes the sword cultivators watching or the monks who like swordsmanship see it with excitement and unbearable itching. .
After a short rest, the battle for the Soul Stage began again, which involved the destination of a secret realm. The monks from various sects were more solemn than before. It was a pity that Chu Wan'er could not participate. After all, she was not considered a Penglai sect yet. Official disciples, whose names are not justified, can only listen to the explanations of master Shi Xuan in the canopy.
In the evening, the five masters of the Soul Stage from the Penglai Sect overcame all other factions and recaptured a controversial secret realm.
The sky was getting dark, and under the finger of Qianying's hand, a bright moon suddenly appeared in the sky, shining brightly and brightly, like daylight, so the battle continued.
The competition for the middle and lower-grade golden elixir lasted until early morning. In the end, the Guanghan Sect won the first place and took away two controversial secret realms, while the Penglai Sect came in third and chose a secret realm.
After all, the number of disciples and elders who hope to have golden elixirs in all major sects is almost the same. If you have more high-grade golden elixirs, the corresponding middle- and low-grade golden elixirs will be less. Especially in recent years, most of the true disciples and soul-level elders of the Penglai sect have seen the sect. The sects are constantly receiving high-grade golden elixirs, and they have more confidence in their hearts. There are not many people who choose to become middle-grade golden elixirs, and there are many middle-grade golden elixir masters in other sects who have been practicing for about 150 years.
As the red sun slowly rose, the highlight of this Cangmang Dharma Assembly began. Yan Qianying presided over the drawing of lots. The first jade card that was drawn made her smile slightly: "The first one to appear is the Penglai sect." Although the other monks who were watching took a breath of cold air, the three top-level golden elixir masters of the Penglai sect, including Shi Xuan, did not care about this. It made no difference whether they appeared early or late.
After that, she started to beat the Penglai sect opponent again. This time, the jade card made her lips slightly open, as if she was a little surprised. However, her surprise was only for a moment, and she quickly read: "Netherworld Sect."
