Everyone did not want to kill mortals, so they negotiated with the emperor.
It is said that although there have always been immortal cultivators in this world, these immortal cultivators have secluded themselves from the world since ancient times and never interfered in mortal affairs.
This large-scale appearance is because the Shenlongmen threatens the hermit world of immortality. As long as the emperor disbands the Shenlongmen and no longer attempts to track down and supervise the immortals, the hermitage of immortality will be in harmony with the secular world.
The emperor said that even if the immortal cultivators did not interfere with mortal affairs, as long as they existed, they would be a hazard and hidden danger to the mortal world. For the stability of the world, he must fight to the end with the immortal cultivators even if he died.
Everyone laughed at what mortals would do to fight with immortal cultivators, but the emperor laughed.
He said that the witch cultivator he was looking for didn't take him seriously, so he secretly found the head of the Wang family in the capital, made a promise to protect his descendants, and asked the head of the Wang family to kill the shaman cultivator and replace him.
The head of the Wang family not only agreed, but also helped the emperor's Shenlongmen refine a batch of magical weapons that could be used by mortals to deal with immortal cultivators. After that, he launched some red-clothed cannons and single-person magical weapons that could be driven by spiritual stones.
The various sects were surprised and looked at the royal family elders who had participated in the entire battle.
However, the elders of the Wang family said that it was the private behavior of the family head and they did not know about it. Now that the family head is dead, they will establish another family head and will not betray the immortal cultivator and hide in the world. Naturally, they will no longer help the emperor's Shenlong Sect to refine magic weapons.
The emperor was very angry when he saw that the Wang family had gone back on their word, and ordered the Jinyi Guards of Shenlongmen to attack on the spot.
But those red-clothed cannons and magic weapons driven by spirit stones were okay against monks in the Qi Refining and Foundation Building stages, but were basically ineffective against monks in the Golden Core stage and above. The emperor's Shenlongmen was defeated.
But the various sects cannot kill the emperor even if they don't want to. After all, immortal cultivators originate from mortals, and the cultivation of immortals cannot be separated from worldly materials.
If he really wants to kill the emperor and arouse the indignation of the world, then won’t the immortal cultivator become a rat crossing the street and everyone will shout and beat him up? How will we recruit disciples and practice with peace of mind in the future?
So both sides finally took a step back and reached an agreement.
That is, the various sects let go of the "Shenlong Sect" and other monks of the Wang family who were not involved in this matter, and continue to hide from the world and not interfere in mortal affairs.
The emperor must erase all news about the hermit cultivators and immortal cultivators, and change the "Shenlongmen" to the "Hermitage Shenlong Division", which will only serve as a window for communication between the secular world and the hermit world, and will no longer be able to trace and supervise .
Then everything returned to calm, and things about the immortal cultivators disappeared from historical records.
Bin Jintao and the female cultivator from Qiuye Valley were called the "golden and rainbow swords" by monks from various sects because they discovered the Wang family's conspiracy and turned the tide.
In the end, the two factions got married, and the female cultivator quit Qiuye Valley to join Mujianmen and became a dual cultivator partner with Bin Jintao, and that female cultivator was Zhang Zili's master wife Zhang Xuening.
After listening to Zhang Zili's story, Xiao Hua touched his bald head
"I didn't expect that we in China have such a history of cultivating immortals and hiding in the world? What's even more awesome is that your master and master's wife actually saved the six sects in the golden elixir stage. Awesome, your master and master's wife are really awesome."
"That's right, so don't think too much, otherwise you won't know how you died."
Zhang Zili rolled his eyes at Xiao Hua
"I'm not thinking about it. If I'm thinking about it, I'm thinking of you. Hehe, okay, okay, I'm not kidding you. What should I do now? Should I stay at your place for one night? Or do I have to leave now?"
Xiao Hua stopped joking and asked seriously.
"This..., I don't have a guest room here. If Brother Xiao doesn't mind, you can spend the night in my meditation room."
Zhang Zili lowered his voice and blushed again.
"Really? Can I stay one night? That's great. I just want to share my sword cultivation experience with fellow Taoists."
What Xiao Hua said was true. He really wanted to ask Zhang Zili about his sword cultivation experience.
"Okay, hey, that's right, Brother Xiao, you didn't tell me last time why you had a sword and shield on your body? I heard from Juan'er that in addition to water-based exercises, you are also practicing a thunder-based method with great supernatural powers. "
"But why did you start practicing sword cultivation again? I said Brother Xiao, the more skills the better, but the more refined the better. You can't bite off more than you can chew."
"Hey, don't worry about this, let's just talk about the exercises."
Xiao Hua didn't want to explain too much to Zhang Zili, so he started asking for advice directly.
"Friend Li Dao, I would like to ask, can the sword and shield of the sword cultivator automatically protect the body? Why do I feel that when I encounter danger, my sword and shield will operate on its own without me having to use my power to drive it alone?"
"Well, yes, our sword cultivator's shield is different from ordinary mana shields. Ordinary mana shields need to be cast separately, and they are only purely defensive and have no attack power."
"But our sword cultivators are both human and sword cultivators. The sword and shield have become part of the body. Not only will they be strengthened as our five senses improve, but we will also have a natural instinctive reaction, and we can extend our sword light to actively defend ourselves."
"So that's it. I thought I was practicing something wrong and kept actively operating the sword and shield, which made me always on tenterhooks when practicing other techniques. It seems I really need to ask you for advice."
"No, Brother Xiao, do you really want to practice swordsmanship?"
Zhang Zili frowned.
"Yes, swordsmanship can kill enemies across levels. Wouldn't I be more powerful if I am a swordsmanship practitioner?"
Xiao Hua was very proud.
"It's very powerful, but it's too difficult. Sword cultivation is a dual cultivation of human and sword. Half of the magic power of cultivation will be injected into the sword of destiny, which is also called sword cultivation. If you practice other techniques, it will prolong the sword cultivation time."
"Furthermore, practicing other techniques will cause the soul of the natal sword to be impure, and it will easily be backfired by magic power and become a demon. Therefore, in addition to basic techniques and sword cultivation techniques, our sword cultivators generally do not practice other techniques."
"Will practicing other techniques lead to the spiritual impurity of the sword of destiny?".
Xiao Hua touched his bald head.
He thought to himself that his "Five Thunder Beads" contained the power of the Five Elements, and that the five-color vine core also contained the power of the Five Elements. As long as the vine core was forged into the sword cultivator's natal sword, there would be no problem of spiritual impurity.
Thinking of this, Xiao Hua smiled.
"Well, I know that. What else should I pay attention to?"
"No way, Brother Xiao, do you really want to practice both swordsmanship and magic? This..., well, since Brother Xiao has decided that he is in the middle stage of the Golden Core, he must have his own understanding of the way of cultivation. Okay, I will no longer persuade you. ".
After that, Zhang Zili and Xiao Hua began to exchange their cultivation experiences, and this exchange lasted all night.
Early the next morning, Xiao Hua and Zhang Zili said goodbye and left the secret realm at the bottom of the lake to officially start their investigation northward.
Heizhugou is located in Ebian Yi Autonomous County.
The terrain here is rugged and the ecology is primitive. People and animals disappear almost every year, and there are many unsolved mysteries hidden there.
In addition, it happens to be at 30 degrees north latitude, so Heizhugou is also known as the "forbidden land of the Yi people" or the "Bermuda" of China.
It was still dark when Xiao Hua arrived at Heizhugou. Since part of the area here had been developed into a scenic spot, in order not to attract attention, Xiao Hua pretended to be a tourist and wandered around the developed scenic spot.
When the sky darkened and the tourists dispersed, Xiao Hua piloted the flying magic weapon in a deserted place, and using the cover of trees, began to fly towards Shimen Pass, where the secret realm of Heizhugou is located.
