The strongest immortal emperor in history

Chapter 3 Five Elements
"Grandpa Zhou, what is it that is so serious." Seeing Zhou Shian's expression, Zhou Qi straightened up involuntarily, and put back the tears that flashed in his eyes.

"Of course it is the matter of accepting you as an apprentice. It is a very solemn matter for a casual cultivator to accept an apprentice, not to mention my lineage of orthodoxy. Anyway, I am also the supreme leader of a school, so of course it must be more solemn. "Zhou Shi'an said with a solemn face.

"What, Grandpa Zhou, you are still the head of the sect. What is the name of our sect? How many senior brothers do I have?" Zhou Qi hit the snake with his stick, and opened his mouth to say what is our sect, as if he has already joined the sect Like how many years.

Hearing Zhou Qi's question, Zhou Shi'an, who was still pretending to be an outsider, wilted like an eggplant beaten by frost, and his face was also covered with a layer of red clouds.

"Cough cough..."

"Well, our sect is called the Five Elements Sect. I am the 820th and fifth-generation head of the Five Elements Sect. As for how many brothers you have, if you join the sect, you will be the direct disciple of the head and the senior brother of the sect. It is very honorable." .”

Only then did Zhou Qi understand that you, the Five Elements Sect, have feelings for you, including the master and disciples, and you need to add yourself, who is about to become a disciple of the Five Elements Sect. There are only two people in total. No wonder you just said about the inheritance of this lineage I wanted to end from here on out, and if my feelings couldn't recruit disciples, the Five Elements Sect would have no sons or grandchildren.

"Cough cough..." Zhou Shi'an coughed twice again: "Although our sect is small, but 10 years ago, our Five Elements Sect was the largest sect in the world." Feeling that his words were weakened in front of Zhou Qi, Zhou Qi Shi An added weakly.

10 years ago, the first sect, does it have anything to do with a dime now?Zhou looked at Zhou Shi'an strangely.

"Stinky boy, what expression do you have? The Five Elements Sect is in decline now, but isn't there still the master? Whether you want to learn or not, I tell you, you have to learn now, and you have to learn if you don't." It was really embarrassing to be stared at by Zhou Qi, Zhou Shi'an became annoyed, and waved two fists, beard and eyebrows flew together to threaten Zhou Qilai, the image at this time, no matter how kind-hearted and kind-hearted grandpa, it is like grabbing a child The strange sorghum of the lollipop.

"Study, learn, Grandpa Zhou, don't be angry, can't I learn?" Seeing that Zhou Shi'an was really angry, Zhou Qi quickly agreed, just kidding, not to mention that Zhou Shi'an still wears the hat of a master, it is Zhou Shi'an He is just a casual cultivator, and Zhou Qi has to learn. He has no eyes for this world, and urgently needs someone to guide him to understand and integrate into this world.

"Okay, okay, since you're willing to join the sect, it's not in vain for me to save you." Seeing that Zhou Qi agreed to join the Five Elements Sect, Zhou Shi'an nodded in satisfaction, and suddenly a wooden carving of unknown origin appeared in his hand. The finished portrait is about one foot high, full of the atmosphere of simplicity and vicissitudes of life, the characters are lifelike, and they look like they have been aged for some time.

"This is Zhao Wufang, the patriarch of our sect. It is said that he ascended to the fairy world as early as 8 or [-] years ago. If you kowtow to Patriarch Zhao, you will be regarded as a disciple of our sect." After finishing speaking, Zhou Shi'an Put the statue of the founder of Kaipai on the stone table in the courtyard.

"It's that simple?" Zhou Qi wondered, isn't it very solemn?The TV novels I watched in the past seemed to have a very complicated apprenticeship ceremony.

"This sect is no longer in its heyday, and all the ceremonies are kept simple, huh, kept simple." Zhou Shi'an seemed to see through Zhou Qi's mind, and said embarrassingly.

"Don't dare to kowtow quickly." Feeling a little embarrassed, he immediately scolded Zhou Qi again.

Zhou Qi did not neglect either, came to the statue, respectfully kowtowed nine times, he still had to remain in awe of the founder of the sect.

After kowtowing, Zhou Shian flicked the statue of the patriarch on the stone table, and the statue of the patriarch on the table disappeared. Zhou Qi saw this time that the statue of the patriarch seemed to be included in one of Zhou Shian's fingers.

Storage ring, a noun suddenly appeared in Zhou Qi's mind.

Zhou Shi'an didn't care what Zhou Qi was thinking at this time, he sat down on a stone chair and said to Zhou Qi: "Come here, give me a few kowtows, it will be considered as your apprentice."

"Ah, still knocking." Zhou Qi stared blankly at Zhou Shi'an.

"Nonsense, you joined our own sect just now, and now you are apprentices, which are two different things." Zhou Shi'an reprimanded him bluntly, and he has automatically assumed the role of master.

It made sense for Zhou Qi to think about it, not to mention that Zhou Shi'an was his master, but because Zhou Shi'an saved his life and took good care of himself during the period, he should kowtow to Zhou Shi'an to thank him.When you accept your head, you bow, and the nine head ringings are done in one go.

"Kow...okay, good apprentice, don't call me Grandpa Zhou any more from now on, since we joined the sect, we will be addressed as master and apprentice." Zhou Shi'an just wanted to say that it is enough to kowtow three times as a teacher, but just now When it came to his mouth, Zhou Qi's nine head-to-head kowtows had already been finished, and when the wind changed, he accepted it with peace of mind.

"Yes, Master." Zhou Qi stood up, stood on Zhou Shi'an's lower right and lowered his hands, waiting for Zhou Shi'an to speak.

"Good apprentice, sit, sit, my Five Elements Sect doesn't have so many rules, sit down, and I will tell you about the origin and origin of our Five Elements Sect."

Seeing what Zhou Shian said, Zhou Qi jumped to a stone chair opposite Zhou Shian and sat down.

"Take it, I don't have any other good things as a teacher. This is a meeting gift from my teacher."

As soon as he sat on the stone chair, Zhou Shi'an threw over a small black cloth bag not much bigger than his palm. "What is this?" Holding the small cloth bag in his hand, Zhou Qi thought, could it be a storage bag?
"Don't look at it, it's a storage bag, but you can't use it yet, put it away first. You can only open the storage bag when you have cultivated to the spirit gathering stage and cultivated your own spiritual power. Now, just use it as a storage bag." It’s just for fun.”

"Master, what is the spirit gathering period?" It turns out that it can't be used now, no wonder the bag can't be opened no matter what.

"This is exactly what I'm going to talk about next. Since you have entered the sect of cultivating immortals, you naturally need to know some basic conditions in the world of cultivating immortals. I also need to be familiar with the situation of my Five Elements Sect. If you are not familiar with the situation of the door, wouldn’t it just make people laugh.”

"Understood, Master."

"Apprentice, as a teacher, I will tell you the basic situation of the world of cultivating immortals. Immortal cultivators are also called cultivators, and monks are called immortals by secular people. No matter what they are called, their essence is the same. Immortal cultivators are just A group of people who want to change their fate against the sky, pursue the immortal way, and obtain immortality."

"Master, does anyone really live forever?"

"Longevity?" Zhou Shi'an's eyes flickered with confusion, and he murmured, "It's not easy, it's just that he lives longer than ordinary people." But his eyes regained clarity in an instant.

"Apprentice, as long as you practice hard, you will naturally gain longevity. Immortal cultivators have different life spans because of their different realms."

"Then master, what are the realms of cultivators?"

"Stop interrupting, master, I will talk about it soon. The realm of immortal cultivators is divided into the body-shaping stage, the spirit-gathering stage, the god-forming stage, the mind-sharing stage, the alchemy stage, the Taoism stage, the Nascent Soul stage, and the crossing stage from low to high. During the catastrophe period and the Mahayana period, there are nine realms, and each major realm can be subdivided into nine minor realms, which are also called nine heavens."

"Ah! It's so complicated." Zhou Qi muttered.

"Ah what, this is so complicated. This is just the realm division of immortal cultivators. In addition to immortal cultivators, there are many other ways of cultivating in this world, such as demon cultivator, Buddha cultivator, demon cultivator, ghost cultivator, etc. The realm division is even more varied. We The division of realms for cultivators is quite simple."

"Then master, which realm have you reached now?"

"Stinky boy, remember, there is such a law in the world of cultivating immortals, that is, you can't just ask the cultivator's realm of cultivation. There are some rules in the world of cultivating immortals, this time I will spare you, if there is another time, I will definitely beat you." Zhou Shian taught.

"Ah? This is taboo, Master, I know I was wrong, and I will never ask other people's cultivation realm casually when I go out in the future. However, you are my master, can't you know your cultivation realm?"

"No, this is the rule of the practice world, I can't break it"

"No way, master, I am your apprentice, and the only one, yet I don't know how powerful my master is, so I'm going to make fun of my Five Elements School to let outsiders know..."

"Well, that's true, but... the rules cannot be broken."

"Master..." Zhou Qi pulled out a long tone, ignoring the nausea in his heart, and resorted to the method of pretending to be cute. After recovering, Zhou Qi was dressed neatly by Zhou Shi'an, and this young boy He is also delicate and cute, and it is in line with his current status to use it at this time.

After Zhou Qi stalked and fought for a long time, he finally learned from Zhou Shi'an that his cultivation realm was actually the cultivation base of the Third Heaven of the Spirit Gathering Stage.

Zhou Qi was in a daze after learning about his master's cultivation realm. Because of this daze, Zhou Shi'an punished him to draw a circle in the corner of the wall. Only then did he realize that it is indeed a taboo to inquire about the cultivation realm of other immortal cultivators, but My master didn't want to say that it wasn't because of this rule, but because my master's cultivation realm was too low, so I was embarrassed to say it. After I tried my best to learn the truth from my master, I blurted out another sentence: "It's so low", which really hurts my master. Face, no wonder he was fined to draw circles on the corner of the wall. Wanting to understand all this, Zhou Qi sighed at the corner: "Oh, it really is curiosity that killed the cat."

After Master Zhou Shi'an's explanation, Zhou Qi has a general understanding of the Five Elements School and the world. It turns out that the Five Elements School was indeed the largest sect in the world of Taoism 10 years ago. There are countless strangers, and there are dozens of monks who have ascended to the fairyland, dominating the entire Shenxuan Continent, and none of the major forces such as the Immortal Sect, the Buddhist Sect, the Yaofu, the Demon Sect, and the Ghost Domain can match it. True to its name, it is the largest sect in the world, and it is a colossus that every sect needs to look up to. The entire Shenxuan Continent respects the Five Elements Sect.

However, prosperity must decline. Perhaps it was the heyday of the Five Elements Sect that aroused the jealousy of the heavens, or other reasons. A great change in the world 10 years ago shattered the entire Shenxuan Continent into the current pattern, and the Five Elements Sect Also in that great change in the world, the vitality was severely injured, and the giant-like existence was obliterated by the world. At that time, the suzerain of the Five Elements Sect and the ten great elders of the sect fought against the sky change. These 11 people were all the top existences in the cultivation world at that time , and their cultivation base has even reached the ninth level of the Mahayana period. The eleven monks who were in the ninth level of the Mahayana period were terrifying existences that shocked the entire Shenxuan Continent, but they died in the sky change. Shenxuan The continent was also broken up into five continents today.

After the great changes in the world, the Five Elements Sect also passed on the orthodox tradition under the protection of the suzerain's ten great elders, but it has lost its former glory. However, other sects in the world of cultivating immortals did not talk about watching and helping each other. Instead, they took advantage of the fire to loot. They joined forces with the Buddha Sect, Yaofu, Demon Sect, and Ghost Domain to loot the Five Elements Sect. During the period, the tragic battle was indescribable. After natural disasters and man-made disasters, they finally declined, but some forces that participated in the looting of the Five Elements Sect, such as the other sects of cultivating immortals, Buddhism, Yaofu, Demon Sect, and Ghost Domain, rose one by one after obtaining the astounding wealth and profound background of the Five Elements Sect. .

Although after natural disasters and man-made disasters, the Five Elements Sect has not been completely extinct, and some orthodox traditions have still been passed down, but what makes the people of the Five Elements Sect despair is that after the great changes in the world, the Five Elements Sect's suppressing method "Five Flowers Sutra" has not changed. I am able to practice. Although the Five Elements Sect has gone through a catastrophe, there are still some genius seeds left behind, but no matter how talented or against the sky, when practicing the Zhenpai Kungfu "Five Flowers Sutra", I feel extremely difficult and progress. The slowness is horribly slow, what a genius and evildoer against the sky, the practice of the "Five Flowers" has never broken through to the alchemy stage, the "Five Flowers" seems to be cursed by evil, those geniuses who survived the Five Elements Sect, After tens of thousands of years of experimentation, groping, and desperate discovery, this curse cannot be broken at all. There seems to be a huge will in the dark to completely wipe out the Five Elements Sect.

And other sects of cultivating immortals, such as Buddhas, demons, demons, ghosts and other forces and sects that have looted the Five Elements Sect, are even more unwilling to let the Five Elements Sect revive, and spare no effort to attack and suppress the remaining forces of the Five Elements Sect. After tens of thousands of years of suppression, The Five Elements Sect completely disappeared in the world of cultivating immortals.
