Two hundred years pass by in a blink of an eye.
Miyun Mountain.
"Senior Brother Xiao, wait for me."
Xiao Jingyi drove the flying boat towards the mountain gate, when a ray of light flew from behind and approached quickly, falling in his direction.
He glanced back, and a familiar person came into view, it was his junior brother Yang Xiu'an.
"Senior Brother Xiao, I haven't seen you in a hundred years. I hope everything is well, Senior Brother."
Yang Xiu'an landed on the flying boat, looked at Xiao Jingyi, and couldn't help but raise his hand to salute.
"Junior Brother Yang."
Looking at Yang Xiu'an, Xiao Jingyi did not dare to express his gratitude and quickly returned the greeting: "Everything is well, senior brother. Where is junior brother?"
As he spoke, he looked at the other person.
As a monk, the journey of cultivation is a process of constantly perfecting one's own life.
After experiencing the third level of transformation into immortality, a monk's state will be sublimated towards perfection.
Therefore, all those who have advanced cultivation, unless they maintain it specially, are basically beautiful men and women, and no one is ugly.
But although he is handsome, he also has a distinction between high and low.
But the Yang Xiu'an in front of him gave Xiao Jingyi a sense of perfection, which made him surprised.
Because of this state, he had only seen it in those true immortals.
'Junior Brother Yang, I heard that he has exchanged the energy of a country with the sect over the years and started to attack the fairyland. Looking at the situation at this time, could it be that I have reached this threshold and am about to become an immortal? '
Xiao Jingyi couldn't help but think like this.
Yang Xiu'an mentioned before that he was the previous head of the Yang family in Fenglei Castle. After joining Taiping Road, he became a true disciple of the sect.
As early as two hundred years ago, the other party had met the contribution requirements to exchange for a country's morale by contributing family assets.
But this person did not use it immediately. Instead, he spent more than a hundred years practicing completely new practices, and then finally thirty years ago, in addition to magical powers, he cultivated his magic power to the level of a true immortal.
At this time, the other party finally began to attack the immortal.
I exchanged my contribution points for the Qi of Xia Ye Kingdom, and officially began to attack the fairyland.
Now thirty years later, the other party's energy and spirit are perfect, and his body is overflowing with energy. He is clearly in the posture of a true immortal.
This person might actually become an immortal.
As soon as he thought about this, Xiao Jingyi lamented in his heart.
He had previously requested from his master to travel, hoping to gain opportunities by searching for secrets like other brothers, and then donate treasures to the sect in exchange for contribution points.
But he was really unlucky.
Over the past two hundred years, I have gone out more than a dozen times, but I have gained little.
The original idea was to spend decades finding treasures and exchange them for contribution points, and then, like Yang Xiu'an in front of me, use the remaining lifespan to concentrate on retreat, and strive to cultivate a true immortal Dao fruit in addition to magical powers, so as to increase the success rate when he attacks the fairyland. .
Now they are all empty.
Not to mention decades, it took Xiao Jingyi a full two hundred years because he wasted time away from home, and he was able to collect enough contribution points to exchange for a country's morale in the past few years.
At this speed, it is better to work honestly in the sect and slowly accumulate contributions.
But now it's too late to regret.
He has spent two hundred years in vain, and has only one hundred years left in his life. There is not much time left.
Therefore, ten years ago, Xiao Jingyi applied to the sect and exchanged the Anyang National Qi Number to cultivate there and try to break through to the True Immortal.
But I don’t know if it’s because I haven’t accumulated enough, or maybe the failures over the years have affected my mood.
He studied quietly for ten years but gained little.
It is really difficult to become an immortal just by relying on this magical power.
Based on the current situation, even if it takes another ninety years to practice, the success will probably be slim.
And if he doesn't succeed this time, even if he doesn't die in the catastrophe of becoming an immortal, he won't be able to live for more than two years.
I am old and have accomplished nothing, but the junior brother in front of me is so young, high-spirited, and promising.
Comparing it like this, Xiao Jingyi felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart, full of sadness and bitterness.
"Junior brothers are all well too."
Yang Xiu'an looked at the miserable look of his senior brother in front of him, smiled secretly in his heart, and then deliberately congratulated him: "I haven't congratulated my senior brother yet. This time, the master master will abdicate and concentrate on cultivating, preparing to attack the earthly immortal realm.
With the master's talent and foundation, this retreat will definitely lead to the achievement of the Earth Flower Path Fruit and a long life.
As the senior disciple of the headmaster, if the headmaster makes a breakthrough, the senior brother will inevitably rise with the tide, and he will become the true successor of the Earth Immortal in the future.
At that time, I hope that my senior brother can give me some support. "
Although the Yang family and Qingshan Pavilion of Fenglei Castle were both local celestial sects of Qingyang Kingdom before, they were even more closely related and could be considered half of their own.
But there is also hatred within oneself.
At the beginning, the Fenglei Bao Yang family wanted to be independent, and the Qingshan Pavilion helped the Golden Embryo Sect to annex the other party. As the head of the Yang family, Yang Xiu'an had to play both sides, and he suffered a lot during this process.
Among the people who bullied him was Xiao Jingyi in front of him.
Fortunately, God opened his eyes later, and Taipingdao came, and directly included Qingshan Pavilion and the Yang family in one fell swoop. The two parties went from being partners with a semi-subordinate relationship to directly becoming brothers.
Qingshan each lost the Golden Embryo Sect as a backer, and the Yang family finally no longer had to be afraid of each other.
So some grudges in the past were exposed after becoming disciples of the same sect.
There were frequent conflicts between the two disciples.
Of course, now that everyone is a family, with the Taiping Road pressing down on them, they don't dare to go too far, even if they bump into each other and have some quarrels.
But even so, when the disciples of the two lines conflict, it is often the people from Qingshan Pavilion who have the upper hand.
The reason is simple.
Behind the people of Qingshan Pavilion, there is Xiao Jingyi.
In the eyes of outsiders, the current top person in Taiping Dao is naturally the Supreme Elder Qing Guanzi.
This Supreme Elder is an Earth Immortal, the strongest person in the sect, and the backbone of the clan.
In the world of immortal cultivation where strength is the most important, those with advanced cultivation are naturally the greatest truth.
However, the Supreme Elder is a simple person. In addition to cultivating quietly, he does not pay attention to the governors in the sect and does not accept any more disciples.
Therefore, to ordinary disciples, this person is a rumored figure who cannot be contacted at all.
If the Supreme Elder doesn't care about anything, the matters in that sect will naturally be handled by the headmaster.
But who is the leader of Taipingdao?
This is Senior Brother Xiao’s master in front of him, Master Yidan Chengyi.
And this Master Yi accepted a disciple, Xiao Jingyi.
But the headmaster has a lot of things to do every day. He manages so many things on weekdays and often goes to visit the Nine Provinces Immortal Sect. There are too many things to take care of at all.
Therefore, of course, many matters are left to the disciples to help handle them.
Therefore, Xiao Jingyi took the opportunity to monopolize many powers in the sect and became a true disciple worthy of the name.
The eldest disciple of the headmaster is of course the eldest disciple of the sect.
Xiao Jingyi has this status and power in his hands. If he wants to operate it and suppress some disciples from other disciplines, it is not easy.
Under the operation of this person, whenever there is a conflict between Fengleibao's lineage and Qingshan Pavilion's lineage, Fengleibao usually suffers.
It's okay once or twice, but after dozens or hundreds of times, the beams on both sides will naturally become more knotted.
Gradually, it became somewhat similar to water and fire.
As for the fighting skills of his disciples, Yidan City and other senior officials are naturally aware of them.
But they don't care at all.
Fight if you want. Anyway, in the eyes of Taiping Dao, if you don't become a true immortal, then it's worthless.
Even his own disciple is just a tool.
If you do well, just do it. If you don't do well, you will be directly punished. There will be no worries at all.
As long as Xiao Jingyi can do his job well, it doesn't matter who he wants to favor.
And Xiao Jingyi has done well over the years. Although he is a little selfish, he manages the official affairs of the family in an orderly manner, saving Yidan City a lot of trouble, which naturally makes him satisfied.
A little indulgence is not important, it should be regarded as a reward.
And if a disciple becomes a true immortal, his vision and status will naturally be different from that of ordinary people.
Those constraints that are common to mortals are seen in a different light at the level of immortals.
In addition, there are people like Yidan City who are suppressing him, so the fights of the people at the bottom cannot affect the true immortal.
On the contrary, letting them fight each other can also have some motivating effects.
It's a matter of opinion.
Therefore, based on all the above reasons, the current scene has occurred.
Yang Xiu'an naturally couldn't let go of his rival's desolation and his high spirits at this time, and started to talk about it in a weird way.
Not only does it imply that one's life is better than that of the other party, but it also implies that the other party's power is about to be removed.
The reason is also mentioned above.
Yidancheng, who has been the headmaster of Taiping Dao for three hundred years, will soon abdicate in favor of someone else, and the position of headmaster will be passed on to someone else.
And as a disciple of Yidan City, Xiao Jingyi still wants to maintain his position as the top disciple of the sect without his status as the head disciple?
Totally impossible.
The power held by the other party will soon disappear as the new head coach takes over.
As for whether Yi Zhenren can actually become an Earth Immortal in the end if he practices in seclusion, it actually doesn't matter much.
It is certainly a good thing that Yi Zhenren can become an immortal.
There is an additional Earth Immortal in the sect, and his strength has doubled. As a Taiping Dao disciple, Yang Xiu'an is also very happy.
But what does this Xiao Jingyi have to do with him?
The other party is a disciple of Master Yi, and Master Yi seems to be on the verge of breaking through to become an Earth Immortal.
But can you, Xiao Jingyi, wait until that day?
Take them as an example.
Yang Xiu'an has cultivated magical powers and is fully prepared. If he finally wants to attack the fairyland, it will take a hundred years to accumulate preparations.
Breaking through to personal immortality has been so long and difficult.
The realm of earthly immortals is far more mysterious than human immortals, and it will only be more difficult.
If you want to break through this state, even if Yi Zhenren is extremely talented, I'm afraid it won't be possible in just a few hundred years.
Then came the problem.
Can you, Xiao Jingyi, wait hundreds of years?
I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for a hundred years.
He looks so depressed, has no ambition, and is old. What can he do to break through to immortality?
I'm afraid that in a hundred years, the other party will die of old age.
Even if he takes one more step back, this person will really be lucky enough to break through to human immortality.
But that’s okay.
Yang Xiu'an is confident that he can achieve the status of a true immortal in a few decades.
By then, everyone will be a true immortal and a high-ranking member of the sect.
Even if the other party has an Earth Immortal Master, it is impossible for him to do anything to him.
There is not only one Earth Immortal in Taiping Dao, and Master Yi is not unreasonable, and will not condone his disciples to cause chaos.
So he is not afraid at all.
"My master is so blessed that he can become an earthly immortal."
After hearing Yang Xiu'an's words, Xiao Jingyi's eyes flashed with anger, but he still moved towards the mountain gate, cupped his hands and said: "As for junior brother, I think your luck is not small. You can become an immortal in the future, so why do you need support from senior brother.
From now on, it is the new headmaster who will make the decision within the sect, and the senior brother also requests orders from the sect to retreat and cultivate, preparing to break through to the fairyland.
If the junior brother really wants to have a relationship, it is better to find a new head teacher, the head teacher. "
After hearing this, Yang Xiu'an smiled and nodded in agreement: "Senior Brother Xiao is worthy of being the disciple of the Headmaster, and he sees things more clearly than the Junior Brother. Disciples like me really have to visit the new Headmaster.
But having said that, this new headmaster, just like the previous Master Jin, suddenly appeared in the sect and was declared as the elder of the sect. There was no warning before.
Although he knew that the new headmaster should also have a hidden background in the sect, the junior disciple was confused about the headmaster's preferences.
As a disciple of the headmaster, do you have any inside information? If so, please let me know. I will be extremely grateful. "
Just like Xiao Jingyi said, from now on, if the emperor and his courtiers want to have a good relationship, they will have to find a new headmaster.
And Yang Xiu'an really had this idea.
With the eldest disciple Xiao Jingyi here, Qingshan Pavilion became the backing of Yidan City.
Another faction in the sect, those disciples who were casual cultivators, took refuge with another rogue cultivator, Che Zhenren.
The other Master Jin Qingyue, like the Supreme Elder, is too low-key and does not accept disciples. He is considered a loner.
This resulted in the Fengleibao family behind Yang Xiu'an being bullied everywhere in the sect, with no one to rely on.
Although he will become an immortal soon, he will be able to support the sky in the future.
But it’s really hard for a mere real person to say anything in today’s Taiping Dao.
Among the real people in the sect, which one can't defeat him?
Just say that the new headmaster who suddenly appeared now is said to have extremely advanced cultivation, not much worse than headmaster Yi.
Such a person, who also has the status of being a leader, cannot afford to offend him even if he becomes an immortal.
He didn't mean to offend either.
Thinking that he would become an immortal in the future, he was actually alone, so he wanted to find someone to rely on.
And this target of refuge is, of course, the new headmaster who has just emerged and has no close connections.
"I have been in seclusion for these years and have never left the house. However, this time I received a message from the door. At least until the succession hall is held, I will not leave the seclusion. If the junior brother does not know something, how can the senior brother know it?"
Xiao Jingyi saw what the other party was thinking and sneered: "Instead of asking me, junior brother, why not follow me into the mountain earlier to meet the new head master. Doesn't junior brother already know what the new head master likes?
Senior brother, I still have something to do, so I won’t chat with you any more. "
His patron was about to retire and his life span was coming to an end. Xiao Jingyi was not in a good mood and had no time to talk to this annoying guy.
After saying this, he waved his sleeves and flew towards the mountain gate ahead.
"That's true. I wonder who this Headmaster Lu who suddenly appeared is?"
Yang Xiu'an looked at Miyun Mountain in the distance, murmured to himself, and then flew forward on the Escape Light.
…
At this time, in the guest house on Taiping Road in the mountain, which was specially used to entertain foreign envoys, the envoys from the Nine Provinces Immortal Sect also began to discuss.
"Is what Senior Brother Zhenxuan said true? Do you really know the new headmaster of Taiping Dao, who is also from Kyushu?"
In the room, Zhang Yunxuan, the headmaster of the Alchemy Sect, couldn't help but stand up in shock when he heard what the senior brother in front of him said, with a hint of excitement on his face.
Zhang Yunxuan is a new real person trained by Jiuzhou Immortal Sect in the past two hundred years.
Because he was relatively junior and lacked experience, this time he asked Zhenxuan, the headmaster of the Ziyun Sect, to come with him to Taiping Road to observe the ceremony.
The purpose is also simple, just to build a relationship and deepen the relationship with Taipingdao.
In recent years, with the end of the war and the advent of peace and prosperity, the three sects in the Evergreen Domain have begun to develop and recover rapidly.
For example, the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect trained a Zhang Yunxuan.
As for the Evergreen Immortal Sect, that's even worse. Relying on the four western kingdoms snatched from Kyushu, as well as the gains from annexing its vassal sects, coupled with its original foundation, its strength has recovered incredibly quickly.
In just two hundred years, three true immortals have been raised.
This speed is simply frightening.
As the mortal enemy of the Evergreen Immortal Sect, when Jiuzhou saw this situation, they naturally felt a great deal of pressure.
At this time, in order to ensure your own safety, you must of course recruit more allies to share your pressure.
In the Evergreen Territory, the only ally that can be won over is the Taiping Dao.
This is also the reason why the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect was clearly short of manpower during the handover of the Taiping Dao leader, but still sent two real people here.
But this road to peace is not simple either.
Although it still looks fledgling on the surface, many newly recruited disciples have not yet grown up.
But the origin of the other party is truly mysterious, and his background is unfathomable.
As early as more than two hundred years ago, Jin Qingyue, a real person, suddenly appeared.
Now more than two hundred years later, another master, Lu Yuanlu, suddenly appeared.
Even this Master Lu has to take over the position of the headmaster of Yidan City and become the new headmaster of Taiping Dao.
Two strange real people appeared in succession, but there was no sound before. This has to make people suspect that there is still a lot of hidden strength behind Taiping Dao.
Therefore, when the news spread, both the Kyushu Immortal Sect and Evergreen Immortal Sect were extremely shocked and felt deeply fearful in their hearts.
Previously, Taipingdao's apparent strength had already caused both families a headache.
Now that the other party clearly has more secrets, how could he not feel more fearful and wary.
This time, the Nine Provinces Immortal Sect sent so many real people. Apart from wanting to express more sincerity, it was not a sign of fear.
But at this time.
Senior Brother Zhenxuan in Ziyun told Zhang Yunxuan that he knew the new headmaster of Taiping Dao, who seemed to be from the same Kyushu as them.
This shocking news naturally shocked the new real person and made him unable to control himself.
"I'm not sure yet whether he is the Lu Yuan I know. It's just that the name and appearance of the new headmaster of Taiping Dao are very similar to the Lu Yuan in my impression."
Zhenxuan really shook his head, and was a little surprised: "Back then, I and I were waiting for the last group of immortal monks in Kyushu to cross the sea and ascend together. But the King of Chu, Lu Yuan, was also a monk, but he was greedy for worldly wealth and wealth, so he didn't go with us.
But with his ability, if he can finally unify the nine states and use the power of the nine states, he might really be able to ascend again.
And after careful calculation, he is about the same age as me.
After more than a thousand years, if he is still alive at this time, he is indeed a true immortal.
Even with his Kyushu background, becoming a true immortal should not be ordinary.
I just don’t know, if the other party really ascended, why didn’t he come to find me and other Nine Provinces Immortal Sects, but instead went to the Taiping Dao? "
When Zhenxuan said this, he was also a little confused.
