At Taishang Elder Peak, the Luochen Sword Sect monks gathered together, and their faces were all filled with unstoppable joy.
Cheng Ling was promoted to the Nine-Star Immortal Emperor, and the sect's strength skyrocketed. From now on, the Luochen Sword Sect can also join the ranks of the first-rate forces.
Cheng Ling looked at everyone in the hall and nodded with satisfaction. We haven't seen each other for more than ten years, and their cultivation has made great progress.
Zhang Hu, Chu Yulu, and Song Yingjie were promoted to the Seven-Star Immortal Emperor; Zhang Chu, Dongfang Bai, and Fang Zhongshi were promoted to the Tianzun Stage; Mei Aohan, Su Zimo, Yi Shan, and Bai Feng were promoted to the Earth Lord Stage; Feng Yanran, Su Yi, Xuan Wuxiang was promoted to the human level, and even Yuan Ling was promoted to the perfection of the Immortal King, only one step away from the Immortal King.
However, it is obvious that except for Zhang Hu, Chu Yulu, and Song Yingjie, the other people's realm is not stable, and they should have just broken through not long ago. Naturally, this is also thanks to the secret cultivation realm set up by Cheng Ling, which has a tenfold time bonus. More than ten years is equivalent to more than a hundred years in ordinary times.
However, this kind of improvement also has its limits. As their cultivation level has improved, their understanding of the artistic conception of heaven has not kept up. Therefore, they can be said to be the weakest immortal monks in the same realm.
But even so, he was happy to have such a big improvement, especially the four people in the Alchemy and Talisman Array. Their cultivation levels had improved, and their relative longevity had increased. Staying in the Luochen Sword Sect could produce greater benefits.
There is no need to worry about resources. In terms of high-end combat power, with myself, the sword hero who is about to be promoted to the Eight-Star Immortal Emperor, and Xie Feng who has not come back, the Luochen Sword Sect's background has slowly caught up.
After scanning around, he asked again: "Where is Xiwei? Why isn't she there?"
Zhang Hu replied: "Master is away, the Demon Emperor cannot bear the loneliness, gathers some demons and returns to the Black Demon Abyss."
Cheng Ling felt relieved now. Xiwei's cultivation level was very high, but at the same time, the Blood Demon and the Dark Lord were watching, so it was better to go back to the Dark Demon Abyss.
After a long silence, Cheng Ling asked again: "What is the situation on Zhongyuan Continent now?"
Zhang Hu said: "Zhongyuan Continent is now divided into north and south poles. The southern region is okay. With our Luochen Sword Sect suppressing it, the demon clan and the Black Demon Abyss have also returned to peace. Everyone works together to deal with the extraterrestrial races. These dozen Over the years, their strength has been greatly weakened, and only a few scattered squads exist."
"The only troublesome thing is the sea tribe. It's okay if you don't enter the blue sea. Once you enter, there will be conflicts, which involves a lot of energy."
Cheng Ling was noncommittal. The matter regarding the Hai Clan had been agreed upon long ago. It was already good enough to maintain the current balance. Let's leave it to the disciples of the sect to practice! He waved his hand, signaling Zhang Hu to continue speaking.
Zhang Hu said: "As for the north, it is in chaos. The Shangyuan Alliance is constantly fighting against the remaining forces such as the extraterritorial races, Misty Snow Sect, Tiandao League, Tianxin Pavilion, etc., and killings often occur. This has caused many northern monks to begin large-scale migration, and the extraterritorial races Its power is increasing instead of decreasing.”
"Where is Jiang Haoyang? Is there any news about him?"
"No, it seems to have completely disappeared in the past few decades. No matter what kind of chaos the Wuji Sect and the Shangyuan Alliance are in, it has never appeared. The affairs within the Wuji Sect are still presided over by Immortal Emperor Yunmeng, while the Shangyuan Alliance has blood The Evil Immortal Emperor presides over it.”
Cheng Ling thought for a moment, and it seemed that Jiang Haoyang should have gone to the God's Tomb. The situation in front of him, whether it was the Shangyuan League or the Wuji Sect, required a strong person to suppress it. If it continues, wait until the northern extraterrestrial races become stronger. Zhongyuan Continent will fall into an unprecedented disaster.
After thinking for a while, he said: "Everyone has worked hard in the past few years, and the days to come will continue. Zhang Hu, please contact the Yaozu and the Black Demon Abyss, and everyone will organize and work together to wipe out all the extraterritorial races in the southern region. clear."
"During this period, the sect will increase the amount of rewards, and you can also participate. While killing foreign races, you will lay a solid foundation and accumulate cultivation."
"Yes! But master, what about those monks who moved south? Many of them want to join the Luochen Sword Sect."
"You can join if you want, but you can only become an outer disciple. The sect's resources are open to them, but they cannot open the secret realm. They can exchange the heads of extraterritorial races for sect contribution points. After ten years, their loyalty and strength will be recognized by the Presbyterian Council. Only with approval can you be promoted to an inner disciple."
Everyone took a breath, this condition was harsh enough. The Luochen Sword Sect's Elder Council is composed of ten elders and outstanding monks. They participate in the decision-making of all major and minor affairs of the sect. Except for the orders of Cheng Ling and Zhang Hu, anyone's opinions can be refuted. The main conditions for recognition are extremely strict and all must be met. If passed, as long as one elder objects, it will be invalid.
Cheng Ling integrated the modern enterprise management system into the sect management in order to minimize wrong decisions. Of course, this kind of democracy is only preliminary. As long as he is around, he cannot escape the fate of dictatorship.
But no one dares to have any objections to all of this. The Luochen Sword Sect was created by Cheng Ling, and it has the top combat power. In the world of cultivation, strength is ultimately the most respected.
Zhang Hu asked again: "What about the north? The strength of the extraterritorial races continues to increase, and even the sect's intelligence network in the north has been greatly affected."
Cheng Ling said: "Don't worry, you have to eat your food one bite at a time. When the problem in the south is solved, we can concentrate on it. Okay, everyone, let's go back to practice!"
With a wave of his hand, everyone dispersed one by one.
Cheng Ling stood up and came to the mountain peak where Xiao Jinhong had been accompanying him before. He sat cross-legged and looked at the clouds rolling in the sky and the mist under his feet. He seemed to be integrated with nature.
This sitting lasts all day. Wait until the sun sets in the west and the sky is illuminated red before getting up and returning.
The next day, continue to meditate...
Day by day, every time Zhang Hu saw this, he did not dare to disturb him easily. He thought that the master was missing the days when Xiao Jinhong was here. Only when Cheng Ling stopped, did he tell the news and intelligence collected during this period one by one. .
Cheng Ling listened quietly and rarely expressed opinions. Most of the time, Zhang Hu and the Council of Elders were allowed to discuss countermeasures and solutions on their own. Only on rare occasions would he give some advice.
Three months later, Zhang Hu found Cheng Ling again, but he said, "Brother Jian has been released from seclusion?"
Zhang Hu said: "According to speculation, it will be within these few months."
"Okay, don't come here during this period. When Brother Jian comes out of seclusion, come back and let me know."
Zhang Hu agreed, not knowing what kind of medicine Cheng Ling was selling in the gourd, so he had no choice but to leave.
Three more months later, Jian Yinghao finally came out of seclusion. As expected, his cultivation level was promoted to the Eight-Star Immortal Emperor.
Zhang Hu quickly told Cheng Ling the news.
Cheng Ling smiled and said: "Very good, pass on the order. In ten days, I will open a forum and give a sermon, and everyone in the sect can come and listen."
"Preaching?" Zhang Hu was stunned and confused for a moment.
Cheng Ling said: "If my prediction is correct, the extraterritorial races in the southern region have been almost wiped out, right?"
"Yes, the demon clan and the Black Demonic Abyss are exerting their power at the same time, coupled with the millions of disciples of our Luochen Sword Sect, they have almost peeled off a layer of the land in the southern region, and there is no longer any soil for the outside races to survive."
"Very good, it's time to take action against the north!" After saying that, Cheng Ling signaled Zhang Hu to leave.
Zhang Hu was confused and couldn't figure out what Cheng Ling was thinking, so he could only issue the order.
However, he did not expect that after this order, all the disciples of the Luochen Sword Sect would go crazy.
Who is Cheng Ling? That was the leader of the Luochen Sword Sect, the Nine-Star Immortal Emperor, and it was said that he was master of all the alchemy and weapon arrays, and could also create a secret cultivation realm with the attribute of time. There was no doubt that he was on the right track whether it was his cultivation or his understanding of the way of heaven. The top of the fairy world.
Moreover, this sermon ignores the disciple's level, which is equivalent to saying that no matter you are a direct disciple or an outer disciple, you are qualified to listen. For a moment, all the disciples flocked to him. Even though it was still ten days away, there were already people waiting in the square hall.
Of course, no matter how big the Luochen Sword Sect's square hall is, it cannot accommodate millions of monks at the same time. At this moment, Mei Aohan took decisive action and refined several photo formations in various disciple areas and mountain peaks for everyone to watch and listen to.
Ten days passed in a blink of an eye, and Cheng Ling arrived as promised. In a flash, he suddenly appeared above the square hall. He looked at the densely packed monks below and smiled.
It is very interesting to listen to the arrangement of the monks. First there are the senior leaders of the sect, the sect Zhang Hu, Supreme Elder Jian Yinghao, Chu Yulu, and Song Yingjie. Next are the ten elders, the Chuan Gong Hall, the Law Enforcement Hall, and the Alchemy and Talisman Array. etc.
Then came the personal disciples, core disciples, inner disciples, and outer disciples, all in order.
Looking back, Cheng Ling said, "What is Tao?"
"The way of heaven is like stretching a bow! Those who are high suppress it, and those who are low lift it up; those who have more damage will lose it, and those who are deficient will make up for it. The way of heaven is to make up for the deficiency when there is more damage. The way of man is not the same, and the damage is not enough to serve. There is more than enough. Who can have more than enough to serve the world? Only the Taoist. He does not rely on saints, he does not rely on his achievements, and he does not want to see virtuous people."
"What is Tao..."
"Tao gives birth to one, gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things. All things carry yin and hold yang, and the qi is in harmony. What people hate is that they are lonely and widowed, but the princes think they are famous. Old things may be damaged but benefited , or it may be beneficial or detrimental. What others teach, I also teach..."
"What is Tao..."
"The great road is broad, and it can be left or right. All things rely on it to be born without giving up, and achievements are not named. They support all things without being the master. They are always without desires. It can be called small. All things return to the origin without being the master. It can be called small. Be big. In the end, you don’t think you are big, so you can become big..."
Three questions in a row, three very profound words, like a general outline, made everyone confused, but they seemed to have some understanding, but when they thought about it carefully, they didn't understand anything, but they felt like they were enlightened. Very strange.
It was as if my mind was suddenly broadened.
Cheng Ling's voice was calm and seemed to have no ups and downs, but it was as erratic and unpredictable as the white clouds in the sky, leading everyone to sink into it unconsciously, unable to extricate themselves, and listening to it was mesmerizing.
But before they could understand, Cheng Ling said again: "There is a way to practice."
"To cultivate the Tao is to seek the way."
"Monks must be persevering, hardworking and persevering..."
"Nine is the ultimate number. The three thousand avenues are inseparable from the five elements, yin and yang, darkness and light, time, and space...Yin and yang are similar to darkness and light, and the attributes of heaven and earth are based on the five elements, light, darkness, and time. , space is the most..."
"People have a mind, an eye, and a hand, and one of them is indispensable for cultivating the Tao. If the three are integrated into one, then one can use the power of the body to the extreme. This is the first time to enter the martial arts."
"The human body has essence, energy, and spirit, and one of the three is indispensable. The Taoist monks ultimately pay attention to the integration of the mind, eyes, hands, essence, energy, and spirit, and reach the pinnacle."
"This is true for practicing swordsmanship, practicing fists, palms, fingers, legs, swords, etc. Everything is the same. Buddhism pays attention to six consciousnesses, namely eye consciousness, ear consciousness, nose consciousness, tongue consciousness, body consciousness, and consciousness. The same is true for Taoism...
"The six senses are unified, the essence, energy and spirit are integrated, and only by perfectly coordinating oneself can one transcend the limit..."
