Two years later.
this day.
As soon as Zhou Yi opened the store ban, the foundation-building monk waiting outside came in, bowed and handed over the golden invitation.
"Tang Zhenjun, the ancestor of our sect sincerely invites you to attend the birthday banquet."
Zhou Yi took the invitation, opened it, looked at it, and nodded in agreement: "Reply to Fellow Daoist Feng, I will definitely attend the banquet on time."
The monk bowed and left the shop, turning into an escaping light and leaving.
"It's finally here, much faster than expected."
The invitation in Zhou Yi's hand came from Feng Yang, the Supreme Elder of the Earth and Fire Palace, inviting friends from all over the world to the banquet on the occasion of his 400th birthday.
Feng Yang came to Siyi Hall several times to discuss the method of refining weapons with Zhou Yi, and the conversation was very pleasant.
The Earth Fire Palace is one of the sects marked by the Book of Changes. This sect is good at refining spiritual minerals with the fire of earth veins. The magical weapons they refine tend to be sharp and strong. The most famous magic weapon is the Earth Yuan Jia.
This treasure is refined into the power of the earth's original magnetism with secret techniques, restrains the five elements of magic, and can greatly accelerate earth escape with the help of the earth's magnetism. It can be called a top-notch magic weapon for protection and escape.
"Fellow Daoist Feng is four hundred years old, how old is Pindao..."
Zhou Yi carefully calculated that he would be 800 years old in six years.
…
Earthfire Islands.
Zhou Yi and Wanbao came together in the clouds, and dozens of islands on the sea below were connected into a piece, surrounding the island in the center that was spewing fire.
The raging fire burned the sky red, and the evil energy from the earth's lungs rose into the sky and condensed into smoke, which could be seen dozens of miles away.
Zhou Yi's spiritual consciousness swept over and felt the power of the earth's veins breaking, and he couldn't help but sigh.
"We monks compete with the sky for our fate, but in front of the heaven and the earth, we are like ants!"
"That's the way it is."
Wanbao nodded and said: "Thousands of years ago, this place was called Shanhai Sect. Due to the collapse of the earth's veins and the evil spirit, the whole sect had to be relocated. It is said that the Yuan Ying ancestor was invited to seal the earth's veins. In the end, it only lasted for more than ten years before the earth's fire broke through the seal. "
Zhou Yi looked at the surrounding island and said: "The Earth Fire Palace has taken advantage of it. Earth Fire is everywhere here, which is consistent with its inheritance."
Wanbao shook his head and said: "Every gain must come with a loss. The formation on the central island that stabilizes the earth's veins and combs out evil spirits consumes a large amount of spiritual stones all year round. Therefore, the Earth Fire Palace is famous for its weapon refining in the East China Sea, but its cultivation resources are quite limited."
While talking, the two of them looked down.
The Palace of Earth and Fire is not on the central island, but on a nearby archipelago. The palace complex is made of red rocks and looks quite spectacular from a distance.
There was a continuous chanting at the door, and there were already many guests in the main hall, gathering in twos and threes to chat.
Zhou Yi was not yet famous in the East China Sea, so the Wanbao falling into the palace caused quite a stir, and the guests bowed and saluted one after another.
Master Ji Zhu, who was in charge of welcoming guests, hurriedly came over to receive them: "Senior, please come in. The ancestor has been waiting in the back hall for a long time. He has been talking about it again and again, saying that he would take this opportunity to exchange the art of weapon refining."
The number of people in the back hall was much smaller, with only six Jindan Zhenjun and more than a dozen Foundation Establishment Zhenren accompanying them.
Feng Yang was sitting at the top and was talking to Zhenjun Zuoshou. When he saw Zhou Yi and others entering the hall, he greeted them with a smile.
"Wanbao, fellow Taoist Tang, please take a seat. Today's birthday banquet for the old Taoist must be drunk before resting!"
"congratulations."
Zhou Yi handed the prepared congratulatory gift to Yingbin, a five-hundred-year-old ginseng.
Not long after we sat down, two more True Lords arrived. Wanbao introduced them as the ancestors of Shuiyun Sect and Ziyang Sect.
There are twenty or thirty sects in the East China Sea, and their cultivation resources are scarce, so they inevitably fight with each other. Nowadays, they can be roughly divided into three factions. Except for Zhou Yi, those who came to celebrate their birthday today are all sects from the Earth Fire Palace Alliance.
When all the guests arrive, the birthday banquet begins.
Needless to say, silk and bamboo instruments, wine and delicious food, after three rounds of wine and five dishes, Feng Yang, the birthday boy, suddenly sighed.
"The old man is now four hundred years old. He sees that the sky is not holidaying, but the Earth and Fire Palace has no successor!"
This sigh attracted everyone. Among them, the ancestor of the Ziyang Sect, who was older than Feng Yang, spoke out to comfort him.
"Fellow Daoist Feng, please don't feel sorry for me. I heard that the new disciple is a fire spirit, and he will definitely be able to form elixirs within a hundred years."
"It's hard, it's hard!"
Feng Yang said: "A poor Taoist cannot put the inheritance of his ancestors on a young child. If it fails in the future, he will not be able to face his ancestors."
Everyone in the hall shook their heads in silence. This problem not only troubled the Earth Fire Palace, but other sects had also experienced it.
The East China Sea Sect is not as good as Yunzhou. There is no shortage of successors with amazing qualifications in the past. It is rare that there are more than a dozen on the Fire God Peak with Tianlinggen, and there are hundreds of others such as alien spiritual roots and spiritual bodies.
Only in this way can we ensure that the Alchemy Sect will remain standing for thousands of years. However, few Donghai sects have been passed down for more than two thousand years because it is difficult to guarantee that a true king will be in charge from generation to generation.
Once the true monarch of the previous generation passes away without the support of his successor, not to mention the internal chaos, the wolves, tigers and leopards outside will eat them.
For example, among the ten true monarchs present in the palace, the two ancestors of the Shuiyun Sect and the Qingyang Sect are the founders of the sect. The sect was founded only a hundred years ago, and the resources for condensing the golden elixir came from the plundering of the Yunyang Sect, which was out of business at that time.
After Feng Yang's life is over, if there is no golden elixir in the Earth Fire Palace, it will inevitably follow the footsteps of the Yunyang Sect, and the real king in the palace may be the one to do it.
Zhou Yi noticed the glances and suddenly realized that this invitation was meant to solicit solicitation, but he pretended not to understand and still tasted the spirit wine slowly.
The taste of Donghai Lingjiu is different from that of Jiuzhou, less warm and mellow, more delicate and soft.
Feng Yang cast a charming look at the blind man and had to take the initiative to say: "Fellow Taoist Tang came to the East China Sea for the first time. The scenery is very different from that of Jiuzhou. Are you still getting used to it?"
"Thank you Daoist Feng for the hospitality. Chixia Island is very nice."
Zhou Yi put down his wine glass and said: "I just hope that the sword fight between good and evil will end soon, so that I can return to my hometown to practice as soon as possible. By then, Pindao will often come to the East China Sea to visit you."
Feng Yang choked and saw that the other party refused to solicit, so he had no choice but to change the topic to the sword fight between good and evil.
News in the East China Sea is quite limited, but after so many years, the news that Zhengdao promised to establish a sect with spiritual veins has also spread. Many of these true monarchs were very moved. Instead of guarding the barren East China Sea and dying slowly, they might as well move their clans to Jiuzhou.
For example, Fengyang Kingdom, which was near the spiritual vein of Xiaodan Mountain, had a population greater than that of the East China Sea combined, and there was an endless stream of disciples with superior spiritual roots.
The inheritance of the sect is not in person, but as long as there are good enough disciples, the lost spiritual veins and resources can be regained sooner or later!
When all the True Lords talked about this, they immediately became interested, and some even suggested forming an alliance, which might occupy one-fifth of the continent, and would surely provide for the ancestors of Nascent Soul in the future.
The ancestor of the Ziyang Sect was very moved. He looked at Zhou Yi and asked: "Fellow Taoist Tang, you are from Jiuzhou. Can you tell me about the current situation of the sword fighting between good and evil?"
Zhou Yi said: "The reason why I fled to the East China Sea is because I heard that Dao Lord Nascent Soul took action and annihilated the mountain-protecting formation, spiritual veins, and mountain peaks to the ground with just one blow, like the falling sun!"
"..."
There was no sound in the palace for a moment, and all the true kings looked at each other in shock.
Zhou Yi continued: "Such a terrifying existence has fallen in the sword fight between the good and the demon. The golden elixir realm has been mixed in. I can only pray day and night not to attract the attention of the demon, otherwise it will be difficult to escape!"
Seeing the solemn atmosphere in the palace, Feng Yang laughed and said.
"There is a common saying among mortals. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Don't be too demanding about inheritance. Let's exchange the method of refining weapons..."
