Comprehensive Immortal: Starting from Qingyun Gate

Chapter 88 Fairy Sword Conference [Two in one, please subscribe]

A fire lasted until dawn.

The entire Tongtian Peak was immersed in a sad, angry and solemn atmosphere.

Everyone took action and helped burn the corpses of the Demon Cult demons. After all the corpses were cleaned up, they took the dead people from each peak back to bury them.

As for the subsequent complicated matters such as inviting the spirit to enter the ancestor's ancestral hall, it is completed by the first elder of each peak.

Several disciples also died in Tongtian Peak this time. Zhang Ruofeng followed Chang Jian, Xiao Yicai and others until he personally buried the bodies of several senior brothers and sisters to rest. It was already the evening of the next day.

It was getting dusk, and everyone stood at the cemetery on the side of Tongtian Peak, looking at the newly added graves, and couldn't help but sigh.

The world is ruthless. It has been more than two thousand years since the Qingyun Sect was founded. There are countless heroes' souls floating in this cemetery, and many of them cannot be recovered.

This is the rule of the world of immortality.

But compared to the war between good and evil a hundred years ago, the cost of casualties this time was already minimal.

The dead are gone, the living are like this.

After a little emotion, everyone suppressed their grief and went back to rest.

Fighting with the Demon Cult, and being busy for a whole day and night, even though everyone was a cultivator and did not feel physically tired, they were also very tired mentally.

Zhang Ruofeng, Chang Jian and Xiao Yicai went up the mountain together towards the Yuqing Palace.

Now that the leader, Daoxuan Zhenren, has delegated power, Chang Jian and Xiao Yicai are generally handling the affairs of Tongtian Peak. Now that the aftermath of the war has been dealt with, the two of them have to go up the mountain to report.

Zhang Ruofeng, on the other hand, was worried about the safety of Master Daoxuan and planned to take a look in person to make sure that the master was really fine before he could feel at ease.

Soon, the three of them arrived at Yuqing Hall.

At this moment, Yuqing Palace is also very deserted, and all the chief elders have already left to deal with the funeral affairs of each peak.

When the three of them entered the main hall, they saw that in the lonely and empty main hall, only Master Daoxuan was sitting quietly on the main seat, obviously waiting for them.

Hearing the movement, Master Daoxuan slowly opened his eyes, looked at the three disciples, and said calmly: "You are here."

"Disciple pays homage to Master!" The three people stepped forward and saluted respectfully.

Taking advantage of the break in saluting, Zhang Ruofeng took a closer look.

At this moment, Master Daoxuan's breath was calm, his face was as usual, and nothing unusual could be seen from the surface.

However, Zhang Ruofeng could vaguely see a few black lines vaguely appearing in the meridians on Daoxuan's face.

Zhang Ruofeng's heart tightened.

As expected, the Zhuxian Sword still affected Master!
I just don’t know if Master will become a demon and lose his mind because of this...

Just when he was thinking wildly, Master Daoxuan seemed to be aware of it. He glanced at him but said nothing. He turned to Chang Jian and Xiao Yicai and asked, "Have the bodies been taken care of?"

Chang Jian said respectfully: "Master Qi, the matter has been taken care of. In order to prevent the spread of the plague, all the corpses of the demon sect have been burned. The corpses of fellow disciples from each peak have been taken back and buried by the fellow disciples from each peak. "

Master Daoxuan nodded and said, "Have you calculated the number of casualties this time?"

Chang Jian said: "Master Qi, we have already made statistics. In addition to our Elder Zhao from Tongtian Peak and Elder Jiang from Fenghui Peak, a total of hundreds of disciples from each peak were injured and forty-nine died."

After hearing this data, Master Daoxuan was silent for a moment, then nodded and said: "The master will be in seclusion for some time. It is up to you to accept the matters of offering sacrifices and requesting spiritual places at each peak. You must cooperate with each other. Peak leader, make arrangements for these funeral arrangements."

Chang Jian and Xiao Yicai saluted quickly: "Yes, Master."

Master Daoxuan didn't say any more, waved his hand and said: "Go, Ruofeng, you stay for a while."

Zhang Ruofeng was stunned for a moment, then saluted and said, "Yes."

Chang Jian and Xiao Yicai glanced at Zhang Ruofeng. Although they were confused, they didn't ask any more questions. After bowing respectfully again, they turned and left.

Master Daoxuan watched the two people leave, then withdrew his gaze, looked at Zhang Ruofeng, and asked, "What did you see?"

Zhang Ruofeng's eyes moved slightly, he clasped his hands and asked, "What is Master referring to?"

Master Daoxuan said calmly: "You have been staring at my master for a long time, but you can see something is wrong?"

Zhang Ruofeng's heart tightened, he was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "This disciple feels that there is an evil energy in Master's body, but he doesn't know why."

A trace of relief appeared in Daoxuan's eyes, then he nodded and sighed: "This is the price of using the Zhuxian Ancient Sword."

Zhang Ruofeng knew it well, but did not dare to show it. He pretended to be surprised and said: "Master, what do you mean by this? Isn't the Zhuxian Ancient Sword the sacred weapon of our Qingyun Sect? Is there any price to pay for using it?"

Master Daoxuan said: "The world only knows that the Zhuxian ancient sword is the foundation of my Qingyun religion, but they don't know the dangers in it."

"Since Patriarch Qingyunzi passed it down to the present, countless demons from the Demon Cult have died under this artifact. Although all the demons killed were demons from the Demon Cult, the sword is a sharp weapon after all, and the killing force is too heavy, which also makes this sword contaminated with infinity. Violent."

"Every time it is used in the future, the user will be eroded by the vicious energy. If he cannot withstand this violent energy, there is a risk of becoming possessed and losing his mind."

Zhang Ruofeng was 'surprised': "This ancient sword of killing immortals actually contains such danger?!"

Master Daoxuan nodded: "This is also the main reason why our Qingyun Sect has rarely used this artifact over the years. We only regard it as the secret of the sect and only use it at critical moments."

Zhang Ruofeng looked at Master Daoxuan worriedly: "So, Master has been corroded by the vicious aura of the Zhuxian Ancient Sword at this moment?"

Master Daoxuan smiled slightly and said: "Yes, but you don't have to worry. I can bear the backlash of this violent energy. I just need to stay in seclusion for a while to drive away the violent energy."

Zhang Ruofeng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good."

Master Daoxuan nodded and said: "My master knows that you have a sensitive mind, and I don't want you to have random thoughts that will affect your practice, so I tell you this. This matter is my Qingyun secret, and you must remember not to tell it outside."

Zhang Ruofeng said solemnly: "Yes, Master, disciple, please remember this!"

Master Daoxuan smiled with satisfaction and said: "Even in the future, if you have any doubts in your heart, you can come and ask me. People who practice are most afraid of impure hearts. If they breed inner demons, they will inevitably ruin their years of practice and fall into the devil's way. Belongs to."

"Yes, disciple understands." Zhang Ruofeng nodded, but hesitated to speak. He wanted to tell Master Daoxuan that Xiaofan possessed the Tianyin Temple Kung Fu, but seeing Master Daoxuan's current state, he gave up after thinking about it.

The most important thing for Master Daoxuan at this moment is to retreat into seclusion to expel the evil spirit and avoid being eroded by the evil spirit and become a demon.

Let’s talk about this later.

Master Daoxuan did not notice Zhang Ruofeng's abnormality, nodded, and continued: "My master will go into seclusion to drive away the evil spirit. By the way, I will finish studying the first volume of the Heavenly Book you brought back and perfect my Qingyun Sect's 'Tai Chi Xuan'." Qing Dao', this time can range from a few months to half a year at most, and I might not be able to take care of the affairs of the sect."

Zhang Ruofeng said solemnly: "Master, don't worry. The disciples will assist the senior brother and second senior brother to deal with these matters. Master, just rest in peace and retreat."

Master Daoxuan shook his head and said: "In these years, your senior brother has been handling the affairs of the sect. He can do things for the master with peace of mind. Now that your second senior brother has also come back, he has handed over the affairs of the sect to them. I am not worried as a master. I am called the master." Come on, there are other things for you to do." Other things?

Zhang Ruofeng was stunned for a moment, then clasped his hands and said, "Master, please give me your instructions."

Master Daoxuan nodded and said: "In one year's time, we will hold the 'Immortal Sword Conference' jointly held by all the righteous sects in China. At that time, each sect will send young disciples to participate in the competition. You are a young disciple of my Qingyun generation. You are the first one to break through to the Shangqing Realm. I hope that you will lead the disciples from all peaks to participate in this 'Immortal Sword Conference'."

"Immortal Sword Conference?" Zhang Ruofeng's eyes lit up.

If I remember correctly, the 'Immortal Sword Conference' should be a plot in "Flower Thousand Bones". It was led by the Changliu sect and was intended to exchange training experiences through competitions between young disciples of each sect.

Master Daoxuan nodded slightly and explained: "The 'Immortal Sword Conference' was proposed by the Changliu Sect. It was decided upon through joint discussion among the seven major sects. It is a rare event that is held every hundred years. This time it is already the eighth time. The process is similar to my Qingyun Sect's 'Seven Meridians Martial Arts Competition', but it is more lively and the opponents will be stronger. After all, this is a grand event for the entire Middle-earth cultivation world."

Zhang Ruofeng nodded.

Those participating in the Immortal Sword Conference are the elites of all the cultivation sects in the Middle-earth cultivation world. The Qingyun Sect's "Seven Meridians Martial Arts" naturally cannot compare with them.

Master Daoxuan continued: "In addition, the results of the Fairy Sword Conference are also related to the ranking of the cultivation sects in China, so it is of great importance and must not be lost."

Zhang Ruofeng was stunned for a moment and said: "Master, what you mean is that our Qingyun Sect's ranking among the 'Seven Immortal Sects' in China is also determined through the Immortal Sword Conference?"

Master Daoxuan nodded: "Yes, although the Immortal Sword Conference is intended to exchange cultivation experiences among various sects, it is actually to determine the leading sect in the cultivation world of Middle-earth. After all, there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. In this world, there is no Nothing more than fame and fortune."

"Although our Qingyun Sect is a Taoist sect and does not value fame and fortune, this Immortal Sword Conference is jointly held by the entire Middle-earth cultivation world. We, the Qingyun Sect, are in the Middle-earth realm and cannot stay out of it."

Having said this, Master Daoxuan sighed.

Zhang Ruofeng understood and couldn't help but sigh.

He naturally understood what Master Daoxuan meant.

After all, this Immortal Sword Conference is a grand event held by the entire Middle-earth cultivation world. Everyone else is participating, but if you don't participate, doesn't it make you look special?
Maybe others will say you are fake and noble.

When the time comes, it will be very difficult to survive in China if you are squeezed out by other sects.

Not to mention anything else, when the Demon Sect finds out about this, they will definitely concentrate their efforts to attack you, while the other sects don’t have to do anything, they just need to stand by and watch you being destroyed by the Demon Sect.

For example, in the case of Liubo Mountain last time, if all the major sects had not worked together, it would have been unrealistic for the Qingyun Sect alone to deal with the Demon Sect and destroy the Ghost King Sect's plan to capture Kui Niu.

However, this time the attack on Qingyun Sect by the four major sects of the Demon Sect was a special situation. The Demon Sect acted too quickly and had no time to notify other sects for reinforcements, and the battle broke out. Otherwise, the other sects would definitely not stand idly by.

This is the helplessness of Qingyun Sect.

When people are in the arena, they can't help themselves, that's how it is.

You may not care about fame and fortune, but not only can you not prevent others from gaining fame and fortune, you must also cooperate with others.

Of course, this Fairy Sword Conference is not without its benefits.

Competition will lead to improvement, and disciples from each sect will work harder to practice. It is also a good thing for each sect to communicate with each other, which is conducive to unity.

In the world of Middle-earth, what has the Right Way relied on to suppress the Demonic Cult for so many years?
It depends on unity!

When one party is in trouble, all parties support it.

Therefore, this Fairy Sword Conference can only be said to have mixed benefits and disadvantages.

At least for so many years, even the most mysterious Shushan sect has not been immune to the common denominator, let alone other sects.

Almost all sects will send people to participate in this grand event.

Of course, most sects are just there to join in the fun, and there are certainly not many who are truly qualified to compete for the 'Seven Immortal Sects'.

Thinking of this, Zhang Ruofeng seemed to have thought of something and frowned: "Is it too childish to only use the Immortal Sword Conference to determine the strength of each sect? After all, this Immortal Sword Conference is only limited to junior disciples of each sect?"

After all, just because the disciples of some sects are not strong enough in one generation does not mean that there are no masters in the older generation.

What if someone else has a powerful person who can transcend the tribulation realm, but his disciples are not that good, so they don’t get a ranking in the Fairy Sword Conference, but can you say that someone else is not strong?

Master Daoxuan understood what he meant, nodded, and said: "It is true, but there is no way, the rules are like this, if the masters of each faction decide the outcome, the destructive power will be too great, and the final situation will be determined by who. I can’t control it.”

"So the rules stipulate that the outcome will be determined by the junior disciples of each sect. Anyone who is not more than a hundred years old can participate. As long as he can be among the best in the end and can prove that he has good qualifications, his future achievements will definitely be high. This can be regarded as the foundation of each sect. ”

"And foundation is also a type of strength, so no one from any faction objects to this rule."

Zhang Ruofeng nodded slightly, it was okay to say so.

"Just using this rule to determine the ranking, there are still loopholes after all. In the world of Middle-earth cultivation, there should be some sects that are not weak in their own strength, but are not ranked among the 'Seven Immortal Sects', right?" Zhang Ruofeng asked.

Master Daoxuan nodded and said: "Of course it is. The huge world of Middle-earth is far more mysterious than what we can see. What's more, in addition to Middle-earth, there are also vast wastelands all over the world. Human beings cannot complete them in a lifetime. , we are just sitting in a well and looking at the sky."

"We, the 'Seven Immortal Sects', are only the nominal leaders of the cultivation world in Middle-earth. However, in the Middle-earth world, there are also many forces whose strength and foundation are not weaker than those of the seven sects like us. So, if you go down the mountain this time, You must be careful and don’t become complacent just because your qualifications are higher.”

Zhang Ruofeng felt a chill in his heart, nodded and said, "Disciple, please remember Master's teachings."

Master Daoxuan nodded and continued: "The Immortal Sword Conference is held in turn by the seven major sects. Since the first session of the Changliu sect, it has been completed. The last time it was held in Emei, this time it is Changliu's turn. , in a few days, Changliu should send someone to notify, and then set a date, you just need to go to Changliu on time to participate."

"Also, the attack on Qingyun by the four major sects of the Demon Cult will probably cause quite a stir. It won't be long before each sect will send people to inquire about the news. However, I have already discussed these matters with the leaders of each peak. , they will come forward to solve it when the time comes, you just have to wait patiently for the Fairy Sword Conference to start."

Zhang Ruofeng clasped his hands: "Disciple, accept the order."

Master Daoxuan pondered for a moment and said, "Also, the murder case in Caomiao Village back then..."

Zhang Ruofeng's face changed slightly, and a trace of hatred and murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

Master Daoxuan sighed, looked at him and said: "The inside story of this matter has become clear. The person who massacred the village back then should be Na Puzhi, but the impact of this matter is too great. Once it is spread, our Qingyun Sect and Tianyin will There will definitely be disputes in the temple, and I'm afraid it will eventually shock the entire world of cultivation."

"Of course, I, the Qingyun Sect, will take charge of this matter. No matter what happens, I will seek justice for you three Yugu from Caomiao Village. However, the Immortal Sword Conference is about to be held at the moment, and I, as a teacher, have been attacked by the 'Zhu Xian', so I need to do it as soon as possible." Retreat and recuperate.”

"So, my teacher suggests that we wait until the Fairy Sword Conference is over and discuss this matter after we leave seclusion. At that time, I will personally take you to Tianyin Temple to seek justice and settle this matter. What do you think?"

Zhang Ruofeng was silent for a moment, nodded and said: "Yes, everything will be subject to Master's arrangements."

Master Daoxuan smiled slightly and said: "So many years have passed, and I don't care to wait another one or two years. You should go back and prepare first. My master is about to start retreat. If you can't make up your mind about anything next, you can go Ask your Master Wan at the Ancestral Hall and he will give you appropriate advice."

Zhang Ruofeng bowed respectfully: "Disciple wishes in advance that Master will successfully drive away the hostility and make great progress in cultivation."

Master Daoxuan smiled happily, waved his hand, and his figure gradually faded and disappeared into the hall.

　Next enter the plot of Middle-earth.
