Chapter 365: Two iron rules: thirst for talents

After Zheng Fa finished speaking, there was a moment of silence in the palace.

There was confusion written on everyone's face. Obviously, the news couldn't be worse.

"It's my luck."

Xie Qingxue let out a sigh, which made Chief Mingde slowly come back to his senses. He shook his head, his tone full of bitterness: "We are all lucky."

The great sage Qingyun's face turned pale, and he murmured in a low voice: "If this is the case, then Qin Mu should also be in the sea when he leads the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor?"

The possibility of this guess is extremely high.

Great Sage Qingyun said again: "Isn't that Demon Ancestor the first to deal with us?"

Zheng Fa knew in his heart that we in his words were referring to the seven great saints, or even the entire demon clan.

Seeing the panic on the face of Great Sage Qingyun, Zheng Fa also felt that the other party was a bit unlucky - it was already very late for the Seven Great Sages to rebel. They watched the Great Freedom Demon Sect's gods die one by one, and watched Jiao Wuji and the others being captured. , it may even be determined in advance that the Netherworld Immortal will die.

It can't be said to be imprudent.

But if Demon Ancestor Da Zi is resurrected, he probably won’t sympathize with them for persisting until the end...

The Great Sage Qingyun also knew this, and at this moment he seemed more at a loss than everyone else in the palace. He looked at the Mingde Chief, his expression almost made him cry: "Chief, this matter... what should I do about this matter?"

Chief Mingde looked at him, frowning and saying nothing, as if he didn't completely trust this person.

This is normal. The current performance of the Seven Saints does not look like they stole the Blood Fiend Flag.

But no one can guarantee what the real situation is. It is only right that Chief Mingde is still wary of him.

Besides, if these seven great saints can betray the Great Freedom Demon Sect, how loyal are they to the Immortal Sect?

The five Xuanwei sects will probably never regard the demon clan as one of their own.

Even if Chief Mingde had a way to deal with the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor, he would not say it in front of this person.

Upon seeing this, the Great Sage Qingyun looked around at the people in the hall. Seeing that no one spoke for him, his expression became even sadder. He sighed softly, but put away his anxiety and said, "I know, everyone thinks that I The two ends of the seven holy heads of rats..."

"But otherwise, my demon clan wouldn't be able to survive today."

The Great Sage Qingyun didn't know whether he meant more explanation or anger in his tone.

"In the Xuanwei Realm, the human race is the most respected, how can we, the demon race, dare to take the lead? The Immortal Sect treats us like pigs and dogs, does the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor really treat us like humerus?"

"Our demon clan no longer has the fundamental method. We are like a pile of loose sand. The Demon Ancestor of Freedom wants to cultivate a team. How can we dare to resist?"

"In the past few epochs, when has it not been our demon clan that has been the first to be unlucky?"

Understand, this Great Sage Qingyun’s defense is all about one thing - the Seven Great Sages acted like this just to find a way out.

The Demon Ancestor Da Zi Zi is here. Their surname is Da Zi Zai.

After the death of Demon Ancestor Da Zi, they are the loyal friends of the Immortal Sect.

"First seat, our demon tribe has a long history. It is rumored that Taishang Dao has a long history. He should know the history of our demon tribe best and know our situation..." Great Sage Qingyun looked at the first seat of Mingde and spoke sincerely, "Now we, the Seven Great Sages, have betrayed It is really impossible for the Demon Ancestor Da Zi to betray the Five Xuanwei Sects again!"

After hearing the words, Chief Mingde lowered his head and pondered for a while. After a long time, he looked at the Great Sage Qingyun. He didn't say whether he believed it or not. He only asked one sentence: "Tell me the truth. Have you, the seven great sages, ever practiced cultivation?" The secret method of the Great Self-Demon Ancestor?”

"…without…"

Chief Mingde closed his eyes.

"Yes! Yes!" Great Sage Qingyun was anxious, "If we want to take charge of the Seven Sacred Heavens, we must refine the treasure of the Seven Sacred Heavens, so we have practiced a secret method!"

"But since we don't have the bloodline of the Demon Ancestor, we have never learned the fundamental method of the Demon Cult."

"This...could there be any future troubles?"

Chief Mingde's eyes suddenly became filled with pity. He looked at the Great Sage Qingyun, with a sigh in his voice: "In this case, I can no longer trust you seven great sages."

"Why..."

"You demon clan has lost the fundamental method, and the iron rules of cultivating immortals have never been spread?"

Chief Mingde's tone contained surprise, as if he thought the Seven Saints were a bit unintelligent.

The iron rule of practice?

Zheng Fa raised his head and looked at the gods in the palace, and found that the faces of the five Xuanwei sects had clear words written on their faces.

You want me to sit at the same table with this miserable Qingyun Monkey King?

"May I ask, sir, what are the iron rules of practice?"

"The so-called Iron Rule is just a term we use. In fact, there is no clear text in the Immortal Sect..." Chief Mingde glanced at the confused Zheng Fa and seemed to have some explanation for him, "The Iron Rule is the way to cultivate immortality. There are rules you can never break on the road—at least no one succeeds.”

Zheng Fa and Senior Sister Zhang looked at each other and listened attentively.

"The most widely circulated and the most certain one." Chief Mingde suddenly raised his eyes and glanced at Xie Qingxue, his eyes seemed to have deep meaning, "A monk cannot betray his own legal system."

"Can't betray? Legal system?"

Not only did Zheng Fa seem to understand this, but even the Great Sage Qingyun was at a loss.

"The tradition is the inheritance of the great monks, or in other words, the fundamental law. Each of our five sects and the thirteen demon sects has its own tradition." Chief Mingde looked at the Great Sage Qingyun and shook his head, "The method of refining the cave sky The secret method, if it comes from the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor..."

Now, everyone understood.

Zheng Fa understood many things in his heart:

What happened to Patriarch Tianhe.

The only thing left in the mountain stone is the catalog of "Nine Transformations of the Golden Elixir".

He was more and more grateful for his caution - not only did he not try to learn from the "Nine Transformations of the Golden Elixir Method", he also did not even read the secret method of the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor.

But on the other hand, he was a little confused. This confusion made him couldn't help but ask: "What is a great monk? Can the skills created by everyone become a legal system? How about the great master who created the path of cultivating immortals? Can’t you control the monks in the world?”

It was he who asked Mingde for the first time, so he didn't hide it and explained directly: "Let me talk about the last question first. The great power who created the path of cultivating immortals has not been born for a long time..."

"Not born?",

Zheng Fa was even more surprised. Does this mean there really is such a person? And not dead?

"We don't even know how many great masters have created the method of cultivating immortals, but one thing is very clear. Those who have achieved the Taoist Fruit will never die. If you ask what a great monk is, in the eyes of our five sects, it is to achieve the Taoist Fruit. ”

"So, we don't think they're dead."

After hearing this, Zheng Fa asked again: "Daoguo?"

"To achieve Taoism is to become an immortal and an ancestor." Chief Mingde thought for a moment and then explained, "The cultivation realms of various sects are different, but they are similar. I only say that I am too high in the Tao."

"In the beginning, the three realms of foundation building, golden elixir, and Yuanying are called the three realms of transformation."

"The follow-up is the three realms of transformation, Yangshen, and corpse dissolution. These are the three realms of ascending to immortality."

"After the corpse is disassembled, it will become an immortal and obtain the Taoist fruit."

"Chengkong is the Yang Shen, and now I have entered the state of corpse dissolution."

Chief Mingde’s explanation was very sincere, and it was the first time for Zheng Fa to understand the full picture of spiritual practice.

"Daoguo, oh, before becoming an immortal, are there six realms?"

Xie Qingxue spoke: "Actually, the five Xuanwei sects are all like this, but the fundamental laws of each sect are different."

Zheng Fa glanced at Xie Qingxue. He was a little curious. Where did the Tianhe Sect get the fundamental method from Lord Tianhe?

This seems unexplainable. After all, the Tianhe sect is a traitor and has long since betrayed Lord Tianhe.

"So the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor is an immortal?" Great Sage Qingyun understood. His body was swaying back and forth, as if he was shocked. "After we practice that secret method, we won't be able to resist?"

"I don't know, but it's very possible."

Indeed, how can it be so easy to get the things belonging to the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor?

No matter how many calculations the Seven Great Sages make, there is still a gap in strength after all.

One thing to say is that this matter cannot be entirely blamed on the Seven Saints - if the Netherworld Immortal died, at least they would not be as desperate as they are now.

"What if not?" Hope ignited in the eyes of Great Sage Qingyun. He looked at the Mingde leader, as if he wanted to ask for a life-saving straw.

"There is another iron rule of practice..."

"Um?"

"Only Dao Fruit can compete with Dao Fruit."

“…”

The face of the great sage Qingyun gradually turned pale. He looked at the Mingde leader. The Mingde leader closed his eyes and never said a word.

He laughed miserably, seeming to understand the despair in this sentence.

Zheng Fa shook his head secretly. According to what Chief Mingde said, the demon clan has no fundamental law.

In other words, there is no path to fruition.

In this way, there is no other way to deal with the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor.

Unless the five Xuanwei sects are willing to take action, the leader of Mingde obviously does not trust them, a group of demons who have practiced secret techniques.

"That being the case, then... thank you, sir, for informing me, Qingyunzi... take my leave!"

There was silence in the hall for a whole stick of incense, and no one spoke. Finally, it was the voice of the Great Sage Qingyun that broke the silence in the hall. He bowed to the Mingde Chief, walked out of the hall, and flew straight towards the seaside.

Zheng Fa looked at his somewhat decisive back, feeling a little desolate in his heart.

He doesn't like the Great Sage Qingyun very much. When the demons broke through the Hundred Immortals Alliance, many mortal monks were killed and injured. Even the Great Sage Qingyun handed over a few demons. How can it be smoothed over?

Everyone has their own standards of judgment, but Zheng Fa knows that there can never be a way to smooth things over for the dead.

Even at this time, the Seven Great Sages have nothing to sympathize with:

They just want to die, but the millions of people on the island are already dead.

He couldn't sympathize.

The desolation in Zheng Fa's heart was just because he seemed to have seen a more tragic world, a world where even gods like the Seven Great Sages were in constant fear.

The silence in the hall became heavier and heavier.

"Actually, it's not that there are no ways to deal with it." Chief Mingde said suddenly.

When Zheng Fa raised his head, he saw that the eyes and face of Chief Mingde did not look as worried as before.

I don't know if it was to encourage everyone, or if he was really confident, but there was a smile on his face.

"When the spiritual energy declines, there must be a Taoist and Fruitful person walking in the world. The Great Freedom Demon Ancestor is actually the weakest Taoist and Fruitful person."

“…”

The Yaochi Transformation God was also nodding at this moment: "The Great Freedom Demon Ancestor was killed once by Venerable Tianhe. Now that the followers of the Great Freedom Demon Sect have withered, it is probably unthinkable that he will be resurrected."

After hearing this, Zheng Fa hurriedly asked: "Those who are the fruit of the Tao are immortal, but the Taoism cannot be destroyed?"

A trace of appreciation flashed across the face of Chief Mingde, as if he admired Zheng Fa's keenness: "That's exactly what it is. Otherwise, if the dharma body of the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor is destroyed, the day of Xuanwei will never come."

In this way, this great free demon ancestor is really unlucky.

When the spiritual acupoint was born, it probably aroused a sense of crisis in Demon Ancestor Da Zizi, fearing that his disciples would be wiped out by the Xuanwei Immortal Sect.

Only then did he rush to the world.

Chief Mingde said that this person is the weakest, which is probably not self-consolation.

In troubled times, only people with little capital will make the first move.

After first belittling the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor, Chief Mingde looked at Xie Qingxue and said: "The Great Sage Qingyun was here just now, so I can't say it clearly. Although we don't have Dao Fruit, Dao Fruit is not necessarily a human being! "

Zheng Fa suddenly remembered Wu Zhi's words at the time, Qingjing Bamboo was the Taoist Fruit of a Buddha!

Sure enough, the leader of Mingde also talked about the quiet bamboo.

"Quiet Bamboo is the most powerful way to restrain the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor. We don't expect to be able to kill the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor again, but we can protect ourselves."

His voice was full of regret.

"Cough..." Beside Xie Qingxue, Yan Wushuang coughed lightly and couldn't help but look at Zheng Fa.

Zheng Fa quickly lowered his head. This guy was a little out of sorts.

He turned his head and glanced at Senior Sister Zhang. Both of them knew that if the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor really came, the people of the Five Xuanwei Sects would still have to be saved.

Not to mention moral injustice.

If you save it, you may offend the Leiyin Temple family. If you don't save it, what will the other four sects think of the Jiushan Sect in the future?

"But without the Quiet Bamboo, we are not without the power to contend with the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor!"

The voice of Chief Mingde rang again. Zheng Fa looked up and saw Chief Mingde looking at Xie Qingxue's waist... the sword.

"Xie Xianzi, your Tianhe sect's skills are very special, and this Qingping Sword is the sword carried by Lord Tianhe." The leader of Mingde is the leader of Taishang Dao, and he seems to know the Tianhe sect very well: "What do you think? Qingping Sword Master, if he merges with the sword, he might also have the power of Dao Fruit?"

No, is this sister so strong?

But once he saw the eyes of Chief Mingde, Zheng Fa understood—Xie Qingxue was strong, but the one who was really powerful had to be the Qingping Sword!

"I need all kinds of elixirs."

Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!

As soon as Xie Qingxue said these words, everyone's faces were filled with joy.

These words are enough to show the confidence of Senior Sister Tianhe.

Everyone was happy, but Xie Qingxue frowned and looked at the leader of Mingde: "If there is a treasure of enlightenment, I also hope to borrow it."

"Huh?" Chief Mingde heard this somewhat abrupt request. Not only was he not angry, but he was also very happy. "Xie Xianzi, do you have any hope of reaching a higher level?"

Xie Qingxue nodded with determination in her eyes.

"Okay!" Xie Qingxue needs to do her best now, and the leader of Mingde is obviously not stingy. He said directly, "We have all the treasures in the treasure house of the Hundred Immortals Alliance. If Fairy Xie needs it, I will never refuse!"

Zheng Fa was very envious after hearing this.

It’s better to go to a large sect!

Xie Qingxue had the Qingping Sword, and with just three words, Chief Mingde opened the storage bag for her!

He looked at Xie Qingxue and saw that Yan Wushuang next to him was acting very strangely.

This guy first looked at Mingde's first seat for a long time, then looked back at his senior sister, frowning, as if he felt a little confused.

Then, he set his sights on the Qingping Sword again, scratched his head, and suddenly looked at Zheng Fa, finally clarifying the relationship between the characters.

Seeing his expression, Zheng Fa also felt baffled -

The leader of Mingde said Qingjingzhu, just look at me.

Say Qing Pingjian, are you looking at me again?

What does this have to do with me?

…

The Great Sage Qingyun was filled with grief, anger, and determination, and he spread out his light and flew towards the sea.

Although the demon clan does not have immortals, it still has some background. He knows a few ancient demons that have even lived for several epochs. I am afraid they also have ways to protect themselves in the catastrophe:

If it doesn't work, go and join them!

The five Xuanwei sects are unreliable, and our demon clan is not without support either!

The Seven Great Sages also have backbone!

He had a good plan in mind. As soon as he arrived at the beach, he immediately stopped escaping.

The sea in front of us has changed!

He stood in the air, staring blankly at the sea.

Boom, boom, boom.

The muffled sound sounded like someone beating a drum.

The sound was very small at first, almost inaudible.

Later, it gradually grew louder and became louder than the sound of the ocean tide and all sounds in the world.

It seemed like the only thing left in the world was this muffled sound of "dong dong dong".

Great Sage Qingyun only felt that his body was inexplicably hot, and he even felt like tearing his chest to pieces, taking out his internal organs and blowing in the sea breeze.

But his heart gradually grew cold.

The sea is also cold.

I don't know when, the sea water that hit the table slowly turned red, rich, viscous, and had an inexplicable but creepy aroma.

The Great Sage Qingyun flew back desperately.

On the red sea, the sun suddenly sets, and a moon, a black crescent moon, cuts across the skyline and leaps into the sky.

The black moonlight illuminated the backs of two respectfully bowed figures in the red sea.

Boom, boom, boom.

The muffled drum sound became louder and louder, and the black moonlight seemed to be shrinking.

The sea water is like blood, slowly rising up to the black moon.

heart!

Only then did Great Sage Qingyun understand that the moon was actually a heart!

As the seawater poured in little by little, the black crescent moon slowly became rounded. After becoming a full moon, it suddenly shrank and then exploded.

A figure that he dared not look directly at appeared in the void.

The sky was bright again, the sea was blue again, and all the strange scenery disappeared, but the great sage Qingyun was even more afraid. He turned around and flew towards Tongming Mountain.

Mingde leader, help!

…

The Demon Ancestor of Freedom glanced at the escape light thousands of miles away and didn't care. He stepped down from the void and looked at the two people kneeling on the ground.

Two people…

"Where are the others?"

"Holy Ancestor, they have returned to the sea of ​​blood."

Nether Immortal replied cautiously.

The Great Freedom Demon Ancestor froze and closed his eyes gently, as if he was comprehending something. It took him a long time to speak and said: "Are they all dead?"

"yes!"

Nether Immortal still didn't dare to raise his head, and even Chen Ting buried his head in the soil.

"I, the Great Zi Zai, descendant of hundreds of millions of bloodlines, are you two the only ones left?" The Great Zi Zai Demon Ancestor looked intently at the two people in front of him, and frowned again when he saw Netherworld Immortal, "You are not mine. Bloodline?"

"no!"

Nether Immortal trembled all over, as if he was a little frightened, and explained: "I admire the Holy Ancestor's teachings and switch to the Holy Religion."

Demon Ancestor Da Zi looked at Netherworld Immortal for a while, and seemed to finally wake up from his deep sleep. He nodded slowly and said: "I remember you, you are too righteous..."

He looked at Chen Ting again.

He doesn't seem to know this person very well.

Chen Ting also had a look of nervousness on his face. He was jumping in front of the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor. If there was no other way, who would dare to appear in front of this person!

Seeing him like this, Demon Ancestor Da Zizi seemed to be a little suspicious, but he couldn't remember anything. Suddenly, a faint light shot out from his eyes and enveloped Chen Ting.

Chen Ting felt like his soul was being torn apart, and his mind was filled with chaos. Only a black talisman was slowly flying at the bottom of the sea of ​​consciousness.

After a long while, the Demon Ancestor of Freedom nodded slowly: "Pure blood, innocent birth."

After all, he didn't care about Chen Ting, who was panting on the ground. This person was only a golden elixir practitioner. If there weren't only two people here, he wouldn't have given this person a second look.

…

"How is the situation in Xuanwei now?"

Demon Ancestor Da Zizi asked Netherworld Immortal.

"This time to introduce the Holy Ancestor, we not only encountered the obstruction of the five Xuanwei sects, but even the demon clan betrayed the Holy Religion. Now the Great Freedom has been lost..."

"It doesn't matter, Da Zi Tian." Da Zi Zai Demon Ancestor nodded gently, as if he didn't care that he lost his lair.

"Tell me about the five Xuanwei sects."

Immortal Netherworld talked about the gods of the five Xuanwei sects.

"Qingping Sword?"

Demon Ancestor Da Zizi had a leisurely look on his face, but when he heard the word Qingping Sword, he interrupted Nether Immortal's words and asked again: "Qingping Sword of Tianhe?"

Nether Immortal nodded.

The Demon Ancestor of Freedom raised his head and looked in the direction of Tongming Mountain, with some fear in his eyes.

"Demon Ancestor?"

"Are there any other powerful people?"

The Great Freedom Demon Ancestor asked again.

"There is... there is another force. Although it is not the Five Xuanwei Sects, it is still a bit weird." Nether Immortal was silent for a while, as if he didn't know how to speak, and then slowly said.

"Um?"

"Holy Ancestor, I wonder if you still remember Zheng Fa of the Nine Mountains Sect?"

Demon Ancestor Da Zi thought for a while before nodding: "The theory of the Three Son Talisman is very interesting."

"Then Jiu Shan Sect now has a cave world called Jiu Shan Realm."

Demon Ancestor Da Zizi's face became a little more serious.

"The demon clans you cultivated, Holy Ancestor, seem to have been blocked by the Nine Mountain Realm. Even...two of the gods died. Also, when the Demon Ancestor was introduced to you for the first time, Zheng Fa also used an inexplicable method. By means of this, he took away the Blood Fiend Flag."

The Demon Ancestor of Freedom slowly closed his eyes, and after a while he opened his eyes and said, "The Blood River is still alive, and Jiao Wuji seems to be there too."

He seems to have a fairly clear understanding of the transformation gods under his command.

"Have they betrayed the Holy Ancestor?"

Nether Immortal shouted softly.

"Ha..." The Demon Ancestor Da Zi rolled up his sleeves and flew towards Tongming Mountain with the two of them, seemingly not worried about the Qingping Sword at all.

"Holy Ancestor? That Qingping Sword?"

"Tai Shang Dao is used to beating the young ones until they are old." It seemed that there were only two believers left, which made the Demon Ancestor Dazui have some patience, and he even opened his mouth to explain, "I just came into the world, it's best to catch Tai Shang Dao by surprise. …”

"Although the Qingping Sword is sharp, it is not enough to make me afraid of a person who has just become a god..."

"I am missing a second fairy sword..."

Nether Immortal was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that in addition to wanting to eliminate the threat, Demon Ancestor Da Zi also wanted to steal the Tianhe Sect's treasure.

"Then Zheng Fa...is also somewhat interesting."

The next whisper from Demon Ancestor Da Zi made him feel puzzled again.

Nether Immortal looked down at himself, then turned to look at Chen Ting who was also shocked and confused, thinking secretly:

Is it because they are the only two men under his command that this Demon Ancestor is so thirsty for talents?

However, this person actually vaguely compares Zheng Fa and Qing Pingjian?

Is it so difficult to guess the thoughts of Demon Ancestor...
