Beginning from the world of Uncle Jiu, he tricked his master into enlightening him.

Chapter 117 Entering the Patriarch Hall

The great elder recalled the Shitian days in the past, and felt that things in the world were unpredictable and fate had its way with people.

Who could have imagined that the hero back then would become the dragon he is today.

Today, the Maoshan Sect has been vaguely split into two factions.

One faction, headed by Shi Tian, ​​is the most powerful and occupies more than two-thirds of Maoshan's resources.

One faction is an alliance of many elders, headed by the great elder, and Uncle Jiu belongs to the elder faction.

In the past, Shi Tian's side was very powerful, mainly because Shi Tian, ​​the heavenly master, suppressed it.

With the other heavenly masters of the Maoshan sect ignoring secular affairs, Shi Tian could certainly dominate the Maoshan sect.

Many Maoshan elders can only survive in the shadow of Shi Tian.

But now things are taking a turn for the better.

Because, Lin Cheng has become the Ghost King!

Don't think that Lin Cheng has just cultivated to become the Ghost King, while Shi Tian has been a Heavenly Master for many years. The two of them don't seem to be on the same level.

The actual situation is that in this Dharma-ending age, the Ghost Emperor and the Heavenly Master are already at the limit of their power in the world. Unless they become immortals, they cannot improve in power.

Shi Tian's advantage is at most that he has learned a few more Taoist techniques.

But Lin Cheng had also cultivated the art of talismans to the pinnacle early on, which was also the limit of mortals.

In other words, Lin Cheng was already at the pinnacle of the mortal world in terms of strength and skills, and there was no way he could advance.

Therefore, Shi Tian and Lin Cheng are equally matched at best, and there is no way to say who is stronger than the other.

From now on, the Maoshan Sect is about to undergo earth-shaking changes!
"Xiao Fengjiao, why did you bring Lin Cheng to Maoshan? You can't just show off your cultivation."

The great elder said to Uncle Jiu with a half-smile.

Hearing this, Uncle Jiu smiled bitterly and said:

"Master, what are you talking about? If I knew things would turn out like this, I wouldn't have brought Lin Cheng here."

Then, Uncle Jiu explained to the elders that he brought Lin Cheng to Maoshan to see if he could let Lin Cheng enter the Patriarch's Hall.

After hearing Uncle Jiu's idea, all the elders fell into deep thought.

In fact, strictly speaking, this is not possible.

The rules of Maoshan are that Maoshan disciples can cultivate themselves into Heavenly Masters, and after passing the review, they can enter the Patriarch Hall.

Lin Cheng cultivated to become the Ghost King and was comparable to a Heavenly Master in terms of strength, but his true cultivation level was only at the fourth level of an Earth Master.

If you have to pin down the words, Lin Cheng cannot meet the standard.

However, people are dead and rules are alive.

The founders of Maoshan left this rule because there has never been a precedent for someone to become a Ghost King with a living person.

In fact, Celestial Master is more like a reference standard for cultivation. It should be explained in terms of Celestial Master level, which is more appropriate.

"How about we ask the ancestors for instructions?"

The third elder said with some uncertainty.

This idea was unanimously agreed by all the elders. Everyone felt that such a big matter could not be justified without the consent of the ancestor.

Moreover, a new person was added to the Patriarch Hall, and he had to burn incense to inform the Patriarch.

Inviting the Patriarch to come to Maoshan does not require the trouble of using the magic of inviting gods. You only need to pray devoutly in the Patriarch Hall.

Soon, under the sincere prayers of all the elders, an illusory figure landed in the Patriarch Hall.

When the Patriarch heard about everyone's request, he looked at Lin Cheng behind him in amazement and said:

"Are you Lin Cheng?"

When Lin Cheng heard this, he quickly stepped forward, bent down and kowtowed:
"Disciple Lin Cheng, pay homage to the Patriarch."

The Patriarch nodded and said with a smile:
"You don't have to be so polite. Maybe you can be a minister in the same palace in the future, so you don't have to be so restrained."

Having said this, the Patriarch paused and then continued:
"I personally agree with you entering the Patriarch's Palace, but the final outcome needs to be discussed by all the Patriarchs before making a decision."

"You guys go wait outside the palace first, while Lin Cheng stays."

After hearing the words, everyone looked at each other, and then walked out obediently, leaving the Patriarch's Hall to the Patriarch and Lin Cheng.

"You have the power of rules in your body. Can you tell me how you master the power of rules." After everyone left, the Patriarch looked at Lin Cheng and said softly.

When this Patriarch first arrived, he felt the power of rules in Lin Cheng.

The reason why I didn't ask on the spot was because the power of rules belongs to the power of immortals, and there is no benefit to mortals if they come into contact with it too much.

Many people think that they are special, especially for the proud ones.

But those who tried to steal the power of immortals as mortals almost all died, and only a very few lucky ones survived in the end.

Obviously, Lin Chengcheng is such a lucky man.

Grandmaster was very curious as to how he mastered this power.

Lin Cheng smiled bitterly and said:
"It's not that the disciple is unwilling, but the process of mastering the power of rules is so mysterious that it's really inconvenient to say more."

The Patriarch nodded understandingly upon hearing this.

Everyone in this world has secrets, especially those who can cultivate to the realm of heavenly masters. Who doesn’t have some secrets?

In the Age of Dharma Ending, it is almost impossible to advance to become a Heavenly Master without some adventure.

This patriarch also had many adventures back then, and finally reached this point.

However, the ancestors of the previous generation never asked him about his experience in detail, let alone thought of robbing him.

If a sect arbitrarily competes for the adventures of its disciples, then the sect is not far from being disbanded.

Even the Demonic Sect will not arbitrarily snatch opportunities from its disciples.

Moreover, the adventures that many disciples thought they had were just that in the eyes of the sect and were not worth grabbing at all.

"If you enter the Patriarch's Hall, it will be equivalent to officially joining the Maoshan Sect. Are you willing?"

The Patriarch did not ask more about Lin Cheng, but smiled and extended an invitation to Lin Cheng.

Uh?
Lin Cheng was stunned when he heard this. Didn't he say that he needed the consent of many ancestors to enter the ancestor hall?

Also, what does it mean to officially join the Maoshan sect? I have already officially become the sixth generation disciple of Maoshan No. 30.

As if he knew Lin Cheng's question, the Patriarch thoughtfully answered:
"You can master the power of rules as a mortal, and your potential is endless. It's too late for us to win over you, so how can we refuse you."

"I just said that just to send them out and explain something to you alone."

Having said this, the Patriarch paused and then continued:
"Our Maoshan sect is a major sect in the heavenly realm. We control more than ten small thousand worlds and one middle thousand world."

"Legacy has been left in tens of thousands of worlds."

"Sanmao Zhenjun also studied under the Queen Mother of the West, and is also a well-known figure in the heaven."

"This world is just an inconspicuous one among the many small worlds that exist in the Maoshan Sect."

"Only the best disciples are qualified to officially join the Maoshan General Altar in Heaven."

Lin Cheng suddenly realized that this was the case.

The implication of the Patriarch's words is that the level of this world is too low, and the disciples are not accepted by the Maoshan General Forum, and are considered non-staff at most.

Only the best are eligible to be officially recruited by Maoshan.

At the same time, Lin Cheng also had some doubts in his heart. He clearly remembered that King Asura said that the Maoshan Sect was only a ninth-rate force in the heaven.

Why do I feel so amazing when I hear this patriarch talk about it?

He studied under the Queen Mother of the West. Who is the Queen Mother of the West?
Legend has it that he was born from the most wonderful energy of Xihua, and later became a disciple of the Sage of Shangqing.

In heaven and earth, in the three realms and ten directions, women who ascend to immortality and attain enlightenment are all under his jurisdiction.

Any daughter who has cultivated Taoism and become an immortal must "first meet the Queen Mother of the West and then the Prince of the East" before entering the Heavenly Court. Then she can enter the Three Pure Realms and pay homage to Yuanshi Tianzun.

Of course, these are all legends and may not be true.

However, we can also get a glimpse of the power of Queen Mother of the West.

As a disciple of the Queen Mother of the West, is the Maoshan sect founded by Zhenjun Sanmao really just a ninth-rate force?
Lin Cheng felt that either Zhuo Shuying was talking, or the ancestor was lying.

As a disciple of Maoshan, Lin Cheng still believed in his ancestor, so he said with excitement:

"Disciple is willing to join Maoshan!"

He thought to himself that if the Maoshan Sect was really that powerful, they might be able to use the power of the sect to completely get rid of King Asura, Zhuo Shuying.
