"The descendants of humans and demons are called half-demon." Zhu Qingyun said: "Although half-demon is naturally powerful, it cannot practice due to blood conflict. This female disciple is different. She said that she is practicing as the head of the Frost Leaf Sect. The original skills, many masters in Xuanmen specially competed with her for this purpose, all confirmed this - her strength comes from acquired practice, not just blood inheritance."
"This caused an uproar in Xuanmen."
"Then the Shuangye Sect began to recruit disciples. They claimed that they didn't care about their talent or talent, and they could teach without distinction. As long as they had the heart to seek the Tao, they could enter the Shuangye Sect."
"Two of the three major tribes of the Half-Demon Tribe in the Cangwu Wilderness sent their best descendants to worship the Shuangye Sect, and set aside a beautiful land for the Shuangye Sect to establish a sect. .”
"On the human side... some people's parents are monks, but they have no immortal destiny. The Frost Leaf Sect has given them hope. There are also many people who were born in the families of powerful and wealthy businessmen. They have no worries about food and clothing and just want to live forever. These people also They all went to Shuangye Sect to become disciples. They have no foundation in Xuanmen, but they have great energy in the human world."
"The Frost Leaf Sect grew almost overnight."
"Just having too many people is of no use, right?" Li Chuan asked.
"Other sects think the same way, they are just a bunch of rabble." Zhu Qingyun continued, "Then there will be the Xuantai Spiritual Light Meeting once every ten years. Each sect will have an elder leading the best disciples of the new generation. Let’s participate and have discussions and exchanges.”
"That year, Shuangye Sect took all the top six in the new generation that year, and among the top six, two were half-demon, and the remaining four were ordinary people who were considered by other sects to have no immortal destiny."
"Shuangyemen's technique?" Li Chuan immediately grasped the key point.
Zhu Qingyun nodded, "There are also burning incense. At the end of the Xuantai spiritual light meeting, people from the Shuangye Sect invited everyone to taste incense. After one stick of incense, everyone woke up from meditation. Some people broke through, and some of people had an epiphany… almost all of them felt elevated.”
"Is there something wrong with the fragrance?" Li Chuan guessed.
“Everyone suspected that there was something wrong with Xiang.
"Since ancient times, our ancestors have used burning incense to communicate with ghosts and gods, praying for protection and guidance. If there is a ghost or god standing behind the Frost Leaf Gate, or a similar existence, then this kind of breakthrough and enlightenment is an illusion. Xuanmen The Chinese have followed this line of inquiry for a long time."
"However, burning incense does not point to any known or unknown existence. Breakthroughs and epiphanies are also reflected in the growth of strength."
A few drops of cold spring water splashed onto Li Chuan's face.
Zhu Qingyun continued: "Then, everyone began to suspect that there was something wrong with the Shuangye Sect's skills. Soon, each sect obtained the Shuangye Sect's skills through various channels. Some of the skills were difficult to explain. Apart from the tedious and repetitive aspects, it is just an ordinary earth-level exercise book."
"After no problem could be found, more monks began to defect to the Shuangye Sect. Many monks, even those who had been famous for a long time, defected from the sect, just to burn a pillar of incense in the hope of a breakthrough. For a time, the Shuangye Sect, There is a vague atmosphere of the first sect of Xuanmen."
"Until the incident happened."
Li Chuan asked: "How did you find out?"
Zhu Qingyun said: "This involves many secrets within the sect, so I don't know much about it."
"I understand, just tell me what you can say." Li Chuan expressed his understanding.
Zhu Qingyun continued: "After the Dongchuang incident, all the major sects joined together and finally found the secret of Shuangye Sect."
She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and gritted her teeth.
Although she did not personally participate in the Frost Leaf Rebellion more than twenty years ago, and even though she only heard about it from her master, every time she thought about this secret, she would feel a chill rising from the bottom of her heart.
The wind blew through the leaves, and the shadows swayed under the cold moon.
Zhu Qingyun's voice penetrated into the night.
"Plum yellow, the name of that burning incense."
"The smoke interweaves into an illusion, transforming into the appearance that the monks most desire. In the illusion, man and heaven merge into one, countless Taoist thoughts pour in, and the path to practice suddenly opens up."
"From then on, they became the puppets of the illusion, stubbornly moving forward along the wrong path, until the illusion was shattered and everything disappeared."
Li Chuan half understood and half didn't understand, and he asked: "The illusion is fake. Hasn't it been proven that the strength has indeed become stronger?"
"Because the illusion connects them together, their realm and power can be shared." Zhu Qingyun replied.
Dark clouds covered the moonlight in her eyes.
"Then do they know it themselves?" Li Chuan asked.
"I don't know."
Li Chuan found it a little unbelievable, "So, the breakthrough and growth in strength are just asking others to borrow strength and realm?"
"Yes, the complicated and repetitive parts of Shuangye Sect's exercises are just to cover up this point." Zhu Qingyun spoke faster, "So they don't look at talent to recruit disciples, so they use Burn incense and gain enlightenment to attract masters, so they are not afraid of offending other sects!"
Li Chuan still couldn't understand, he asked: "Then how do they control and distribute it? That is to say, their strength and realm are a total amount, so how does everyone know how much to borrow, that is... And the strength of this realm is limited It’s the upper limit, right? Then the person with the highest level of strength who comes in, how can his level of strength increase?”
After Zhu Qingyun was silent for a moment, she said: "The higher the realm, the stronger the strength, the harder it is to improve, and the fewer opponents at the same realm.
"Therefore, the illusion of breakthrough given to them by the illusion should have been discovered much later, but an accident occurred."
Li Chuan understood.
Zhu Qingyun did not explain the "accident", she said: "As for the secret of how to control the distribution, only the core members of the Frost Leaf Sect know this.
"Now the Frost Leaf Sect has been destroyed."
Zhu Qingyun closed his eyes, "The Immortal took action, united all the Xuanmen sects, and used thunder to set up the Jade Fresh Moon Formation between heaven and earth."
"Regardless of the past, regardless of status, as long as they are members of the Shuangye Sect, as long as they have tasted plum yellow, they will be strangled and hunted to the end!"
Li Chuan smelled blood from Zhu Qingyun's words.
Her voice trembled, "In just three months, the three half-demon tribes merged into one clan. Almost all the seeds of the younger generation of the human race died. The demon tribe suffered the least losses, but they also lost three demon kings."
What flashed through Li Chuan's mind, he asked directly without much thought, "What would happen if an immortal was deceived into the Frost Leaf Sect?"
"Impossible!" Zhu Qingyun's voice suddenly became louder, and then, as if she thought of something, she repeated it in a low voice, "Impossible, the illusion is still an illusion, not reality, and it is impossible to deceive the immortal. "
Li Chuan didn't expect Zhu Qingyun's reaction to be so big. He said, "I don't understand these, so I asked."
Zhu Qingyun calmed down his thoughts, "If there were real immortals, this scam might never be discovered. Fortunately, there are no immortals behind the Frost Leaf Sect."
The shadow of the leaves covered the upper half of Zhu Qingyun's face.
She lowered her eyes, and the shadows of her eyelashes were hidden in the shadows of the trees.
The sound of water gurgling.
