After hearing Ancestor Zhenyang's proposal, Dugu Tianyi nodded and said without thinking for long:
"Okay, I agree."
Ancestor Zhenyang looked at Ancestor Sanshan again and asked:
"Brother Sanshan, what do you think?"
"this……"
The ancestor of Sanshan hesitated for a long time, and finally sighed:
"...Then let's do what you suggested, that's all."
"Um."
Ancestor Zhenyang nodded slightly and said:
"Then it's decided."
"Although Master Qingxu has extraordinary skills, he is only in the late stage of foundation building. According to the fastest estimate, it will take at least twenty or thirty years for him to achieve the golden elixir."
"In twenty years, each of us will leave an ordinary incarnation to guard the door of this secret realm; after twenty years, our true deities will come back to take turns taking charge."
His proposal was quickly unanimously agreed by Sanshan Patriarch and Dugu Tianyi.
Soon, the three golden elixir ancestors each created an incarnation of their magic power, and then hurriedly left the depths of the Prison Gate Mountain.
This attempt failed and suffered heavy losses. The foundation-building monks in their respective sects and families were almost broken, and there were still a lot of troubles waiting for them to deal with.
…………
A few hours later.
With the return of the three golden elixir ancestors, an explosive news broke out instantly:
The exploration team, which had gathered the essence of the entire Dali Immortal World and nearly 300 foundation-building monks, was completely wiped out in the Five Elements Secret Territory, with only three Golden Elixir Ancestors returning alone!
This horrifying news spread at the speed of a hurricane, spreading throughout Dali in just a few days, triggering an unprecedented earthquake.
When many people heard the news, they felt ridiculous and unbelievable the first time they heard the news, and couldn't believe it was true.
But as time goes by:
Various details in the secret realm were further revealed, and the evidence from all aspects became more and more detailed, which completely confirmed the news.
For a time, the catastrophe that occurred in the Five Elements Secret Realm became the absolute focus of the world of immortality, and was hotly discussed and debated by countless monks.
In this process, the name of Master Qingxu was mentioned again and again.
Ancestor Zhenyang and the other three people did not keep what happened in the secret realm a secret. After all, such a shocking tragedy as the entire expedition team was wiped out. Even though they were the ancestors of Jindan, they still had to give an explanation to all parties.
As a result, Zhenren Qingxu, who was originally quite famous, became famous in Dali, making many people talk about it with a change of heart.
Among various deeds, rumors and gossip, he seems to be portrayed as a scheming, ruthless and unpredictable image.
The public information alone can prove that he has been hiding in low profile for many years, and is suspected to be the inheritor of the Five Elements Sanren. He has played with several Jindan ancestors in applause;
Later, he secretly killed Yu Wentai, the owner of Tianbao Tower, which directly triggered the subsequent sea-breaking war. At the same time, he also caused the murder of Tianbao Tower, and cleverly faked his death to escape and weave a larger conspiracy.
Finally, when the Five Elements Secret Realm was opened, he killed hundreds of foundation-building monks with one move and established his unshakable reputation!
Half a month after the tragedy in the Five Elements Secret Realm spread in all directions:
Many monks have publicly called Master Qingxu the 'Butcher of Prison Gate Mountain' and the 'No. 1 Killer God in the Southwest'.
There are even more good people who call this tragedy in the Five Elements Secret Realm the dividing line of an era, opening up another new 'era of catastrophe'.
This statement was gradually recognized by many monks along with a series of subsequent turmoils.
As time goes on:
The news of the catastrophe in the Five Elements Secret Realm has long been not limited to Dali, but has spread to the entire southwest and even wider areas.
After all, hundreds of foundation-building monks all died in one fell swoop. This was truly a shocking news that had been rare for hundreds of thousands of years and was enough to cause a sensation anywhere.
Since then, Master Qingxu has risen to great fame in the southwest!
…………
More than two months later.
In the heart of the Central Plains, in a certain city in Jingguo.
The sensational events that occurred in the southwest gradually spread here, also causing large-scale heated discussions.
"...Oh my God, is this really possible?"
"Is this still false? The latest news that just came from the Lu State has spread all over Dali. Who doesn't know about it?"
"Oh my god, that Master Qingxu is too cruel!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, hundreds of foundation-building masters, they killed them as soon as they were told. They are really cruel people!"
"Yes, now that Master Qingxu has occupied the Five Elements Secret Realm and obtained the inheritance of the Five Elements Sanren, he will probably be able to reach the Golden Core Realm in a few decades!"
"The title of the No. 1 Killer God in the Southwest is well deserved! Counting back thousands of years, I am afraid no one will be able to kill so many Foundation Establishing Masters at once..."
Many monks in Jingguo were talking about it, and speculations and arguments abounded.
And among the crowds of people rubbing shoulders with each other:
Peng Yuexian's expression changed several times, and the shock in his heart was indescribable:
"This this……"
After he had a hard time escaping by relying on luck in the sea-turning battle, and after learning from the pain, he directly fled a hundred thousand miles away to Jingguo, eliminating the possibility of being hunted down.
He thought that he had been completely cut off from his past life, and that he might not hear news about the GCC in the remaining decades of his life.
But I didn’t expect that in just over a year, I would hear explosive news about Master Qingxu!
Taking control of the Five Elements Secret Realm, playing with the Golden Pill Ancestor, and killing hundreds of Foundation Establishing Masters... each and every one of them is enough to shock the mind.
Especially for him, a former member of the GCC, he was more shocked than others.
"It turns out that he has been hiding so much..."
Peng Yuexian's mood was very complicated.
At this moment, he slightly regretted escaping from Dali too early. If he was still in Dali, he might still be able to wait for a chance to hug him.
Unfortunately, it's too late now. He has just established a foothold here, and it seems inappropriate to go back. Moreover, his lifespan is limited, and he may not be able to wait until the day when Master Qingxu comes to Jindan.
"That's all, time is destiny."
Peng Yuexian sighed and gradually gave up his thoughts of returning to Dali.
Everyone has his own destiny. At this age, he has reached the stage of accepting his destiny.
…………
Three months after the secret realm was closed.
The core place is the cave, in the meditation room.
"call……"
Zhang Yao's breathing was long, his breath became vague, and his state of mind remained calm.
In his sea of consciousness: strands of soul energy are constantly surging, forming different spiritual patterns and combining into different formations, nesting and connecting bit by bit with each other.
The entire sea of consciousness has long been covered with spiritual veins, and even traces of the formation have been left in the depths of the soul, as if it has been deeply imprinted.
The Ten Thousand Souls Formation is the most complex formation Zhang Yao has ever constructed.
For three whole months, he did not dare to slack off at all and accumulated bits and pieces from scratch, and finally the formation was almost completed.
It is like filling the soul with a complete skeleton and wearing heavy combat armor, which greatly enhances the power of the soul and spiritual thoughts and obtains all-round blessings.
Not only that:
The Ten Thousand Souls Formation has extremely strong protective power against all effects related to the soul and mind, such as confusion, distortion, pollution, trapping, suppression, etc.
Make a simple comparison:
Without the protection of the Ten Thousand Souls Formation, Zhang Yao would still have the possibility of being affected by his soul and sanity if he ran into the Jindan Ancestor who was extremely proficient in magical powers and Taoist arts.
But with the Ten Thousand Souls Formation, this possibility no longer exists.
Even if the influence on the soul is stronger and reaches a level that makes him unable to withstand it, the Ten Thousand Souls Formation will be broken and collapsed first.
If it really comes to that extreme situation, Zhang Yao would rather choose to kill himself and be reborn with the help of the earth's divine fetus, rather than allowing his soul and mind to be influenced or even manipulated.
"Buzz!"
As the last stroke of outline was completed, Zhang Yao's sea of consciousness shone brightly.
Countless spirit pattern veins all radiated bright light, and then disappeared. Zhang Yao felt that the power of his soul and spiritual thoughts expanded and condensed many times in an instant.
At this moment, if he and Yu Wentai were allowed to face off again with the Divine Soul Taoism, with the blessing of the Tiancan Secret Technique, then he thought that they would be evenly matched.
"It was finally successful..."
Zhang Yao opened his eyes, with a hint of emotion in his expression.
The psychological shadow caused by his encounter in Qingyunfang City has been lingering for many years, and it also led him to use such nondescript methods as thinking test files.
He is not afraid of injury or death, but the possibility of his mind being manipulated has always frightened him, weighing on his heart like a heavy boulder.
Until today:
The boulders were moved away, the haze dissipated, and finally the sky was clear.
"Those who live forever should be free and unrestrained."
"I have been in the world of immortality for so many years, and it is only today that I finally found a trace of the true feeling of freedom..."
Zhang Yao was in a good mood and stood up leisurely, ready to go to the outer world to have a good time and search.
After collecting hundreds of treasures in the small world:
He should officially enter a long-term retreat career, in order to reach the foundation-building consummation as soon as possible, use spiritual objects, refine elixirs, and attack the realm of golden elixirs.
…………
Time flies like an arrow, and the moon flies like a shuttle.
The arrival of the era of catastrophe is as unstoppable as a torrent, dragging everyone in the Dali cultivating world into it.
The entire army of the Secret Realm Exploration Team was wiped out, which caused the foundation-building monks in Dali to be almost disconnected, and brought a series of consequences that cannot be explained in a few words.
The most intuitive and earliest impact is on the people closely related to the foundation-building monks:
Every foundation-building monk who enters the secret realm is not alone. They have relatives and friends, disciples, and family descendants...
Every Master of Foundation Establishment and the people around him occupy a large amount of interests in the world of Dali cultivating immortals, and are involved in a complicated network of relationships, relying on the huge order.
But after the catastrophe, with the collective fall of Master Ji Zhu, all of this suddenly died.
The chain of interests and the network of relationships were broken, and various counterattacks came almost immediately. While pulling these people down, they also brought about the collapse of the order in the world of immortality.
The direct consequences of the collapse of order are a sharp increase in vicious incidents such as theft, interception, treasure grabbing, and robbery of cauldrons. The indirect consequences are countless, so much so that the entire Dali has fallen into chaos, and no one can restrain it. .
And this series of chain reactions is just the beginning——
The fault of the Foundation Establishment Master also caused the status of every Foundation Establishment Master who did not go to the Five Elements Secret Realm and survived the catastrophe to rise sharply in the Dali Immortal Cultivation World.
The three golden elixir forces that used to be superior could only acquiesce in all this happening.
It is obvious that the Golden Elixir Ancestor and a few monks with perfect foundation building alone cannot support a Jindan-level behemoth. Without the support of the backbone, even the Golden Elixir Ancestor must give in in the face of ironclad facts.
Under this influence:
Lingyang Sect, Shanhe Sect and Dugu Family had to increase the training of Qi Refining disciples and use unprecedentedly abundant resources. At the same time, they also had to shrink their power on a small scale.
At the same time, their attitude towards outside foundation-building monks has also become extremely gentle. The threshold for attracting them has been set very low, while the conditions they offer have become higher and higher.
Such a move not only further promoted the status of the foundation-building master, but also indirectly led to the outflow of a large amount of precious and special resources that once needed to be controlled, stimulating the prosperity of the entire world of immortal cultivation.
As one of the four major powers, the catastrophes and changes in Dali can affect the whole body.
Looking at the entire Southwest:
In just a few years, at least dozens of foundation-building monks swarmed into the hot land of Dali from various small countries in all directions, looking for further opportunities.
All the enemies and opponents he had offended were almost dead. Once all the entangled relationships were cleared up, the Jindan Sect also extended an olive branch. There was no better time than this.
Some foundation-building monks from small countries even couldn't bear the temptation and dragged their families to Dali, where they easily established a foothold and ushered in a new life.
The catastrophe in Dali was a God-given opportunity for the foundation-building monks of many small countries.
The old interest class has fallen, and a new interest network has rapidly formed. The alternation of the old and new order has brought about huge chaos, but also brought about huge opportunities.
In the first few years after the catastrophe, a new upsurge was set off in Dali's world of immortality, showing abnormal prosperity. Many sects, aristocratic families, and even a new continental overlord emerged.
It was under this background that many new generations of foundation-building monks emerged to fill the gaps left by the older generation of foundation-building monks.
Ten years, twenty years, thirty years... time flies by.
In the blink of an eye, more than forty years have passed since the original catastrophe.
After so many years, a new pattern and order in Dali has been formed, a new batch of foundation-building monks have grown up, and Tianbao Tower has returned to its former prosperity.
It has been more than twenty years since the three Jindan ancestors took turns guarding the gate of the secret realm.
Today, more than forty years later:
The 'Southwestern God of Killing' and 'The Butcher of Prison Gate Mountain', who were once talked about with disgrace and feared by everyone, have gradually become legendary figures.
But only the survivors of those catastrophes and Master Ji Zhu among the three golden elixir forces knew that the terrible butcher in the secret realm would one day reappear in the world of immortal cultivation in Dali.
The day he steps through the door to the secret realm, I'm afraid it will be the day when the world in Dali is turned upside down.
