Seeking Immortality

For those small sects, the establishment of the Righteous Path Alliance is to concentrate their strength to fight against the ravages of the catastrophe. For the sects like Qingxu Jiuhua and the masters behind the scenes, the establishment of the Righteous Path Alliance is even more to fight against the ravages of the catastrophe. Hidden driving force——

Although he didn't know what the purpose of "Ming" was, Xu Qingfan judged from the clues of his contact with those masters over the years. These masters attached great importance to the "Ming" organization and had allowed the catastrophe to wreak havoc in recent years without taking any action. They are concentrating their efforts to constantly search for traces of "Ming". Over the years, these masters have either stayed in "Ronghua Mountain" and don't know what to do, or they have gone out to look for something and look for the masters of the "Ming" organization, but they have only been aware of the catastrophe. Only take action when absolutely necessary.

All these behaviors made Xu Qingfan feel that these masters seemed to know some extremely important secrets about "Ming", but for some reason, they did not let others in the Righteous Alliance know.

For example, every time a team like Xu Qingfan, who is composed of elites from various factions, goes out to perform a mission, they are told to pay special attention to the news of the "underworld" organization. For this reason, it is also a mistake to fail to complete the assigned mission. No matter what.

Otherwise, if these masters attack with all their strength, whether it is the "Bahuang Palace" or the "Beast Mad Monk", they will be vulnerable. How can a monk with Xu Qingfan's level of cultivation be used to fight to the death?

I think back then, after Xu Qingfan killed "Ying", the core member of "Ming", he was called by the masters to interrogate him for more than a day. From the words of the masters, it seemed that he was dissatisfied with Xu Qingfan for not capturing "Ying" alive. Or they were not notified before dealing with "Ying". Although the thousands of monks at that time were about to be infected with "beast madness" by "Ying", Xu Qingfan was not allowed to inform them at all, but judging from the expressions of those masters. In their opinion, the life and death of thousands of monks and the damage caused by the beastly monks were not as important as the clues of the "underworld" organization.

In these years, the masters have allowed the catastrophe to expand, except for maintaining their identity and unwilling to take action against low-level monks. He also wanted to find out the reason for the traces of "Ming" through the catastrophe, and for this reason, he even did not hesitate to seriously injure the vitality of the entire world of immortality. Even if the sect he came from declined due to this, he did not complain at all.

But Xu Qingfan couldn't figure out what reason could make these masters willing to make such sacrifices.

But before Xu Qingfan went out for action this time, the masters seemed to have discovered something, and they went out in groups. This matter was extremely secretive, and Xu Qingfan also learned about it by accident.

Hearing Xu Qingfan's question, Qing Lingzi was slightly startled, then shook his head and said: "Seniors, you still haven't come back. It's been a month."

Hearing what Qing Lingzi said, Xu Qingfan became even more confused. What on earth allowed these masters to join forces and fail to complete it after more than a month? Could it be that without everyone knowing, these masters have started a war with the "Ming" organization?

As soon as he thought of this possibility, Xu Qingfan shook his head and denied it. For such an important matter as fighting against the "underworld" organization, the masters would never say nothing.

But apart from that, what else is worthy of the joint action of all the masters?

After Xu Qingfan reported the details of his operation to the major leaders. The masters dispersed. At this time, the "Beast Madness Monks" had been gradually wiped out, and all that was left was to eliminate the remaining forces of the "Eight Desolate Palaces", so the work of the major masters became much easier.

But when the heads dispersed, Xu Qingfan rushed to Qing Lingzi and told Qing Lingzi about Xu Xiurong.

"This time, Daoist Fellow Xu allowed seven fellow Daoists to risk their lives because of her own mistakes, so this junior believes that she should be punished. It is recommended that she be allowed to retreat in Ronghua Mountain to reflect on her past mistakes."

After hearing Xu Qingfan’s decision. Qing Lingzi glanced at Xu Qingfan first, and then nodded silently. Slowly said: "Indeed, as the casualties have increased over the years, manpower has become increasingly scarce. It was okay at first, but when it came to annihilating the beast-crazy monks, those monks below the pill formation stage were completely useless, so I Although he knew that the girl was not suitable for fighting, he had no choice but to let her go. Now, although he didn’t know whether the catastrophe had passed, it had finally come to an end. It would be appropriate for her to retreat and think for a while.

Hearing what Qing Lingzi said, Xu Qingfan knew that his intention to protect Xu Xiurong because she was not suitable for fighting had been seen through by Qing Lingzi, but he didn't say much, just nodded slightly, and left.

After leaving, Xu Qingfan walked towards the foot of "Ronghua Mountain". Seven years ago, in the battle that caused heavy casualties to Jiuhua, Ting'er and Xiaohei were seriously injured trying to protect him. After seven years of cultivation, But it has been gradually recovering. The last time Xu Qingfan went down the mountain on a mission, the man and the beast were close to recovery. At this time, he must have fully recovered, right?

Thinking of the concern behind Ting'er's cold expression and Xiao Hei's persistence over the years, Xu Qingfan's heart, which had gradually become colder under the endless fighting over the years, couldn't help but feel slightly warm.

At the same time, Xu Qingfan didn't know that several things related to his future destiny were happening.

Far to the east of the East China Sea, there is still an endless sea. The sky and the earth are all blue, and people can't help but get lost in it. Here, the waves are rough, the climate changes, and there are violent storms from time to time. It is a world that even a cultivator in the pill formation period cannot compete with. The power, coupled with various high-level monsters, turned this place into an area where no human has ever set foot.

At this time, there were fourteen figures floating quietly in this blue world. Although the sea wind was violent, these fourteen figures did not even rise and fall, but formed a circle of several miles in radius. ***, staring nervously at the sea in front of him, as if waiting for something to appear.

And among everyone. However, there is a green grass floating in the air. This grass is only the size of a finger, but the spiritual energy contained in it can be clearly felt from a hundred miles away.

And these fourteen people. It was the 14th Grand Master of the Righteous Alliance that Xu Qingfan had guessed before. With their cultivation status, they don't know what could make them take it so seriously.

"Fellow Taoist Zizhen, did that thing really appear in this area? This Xuanqingcao is the most precious treasure in the world. It is also the most beloved thing of that thing, with the temptation of Xuanqingcao. Why have we waited for three full days for that thing? But still hasn’t appeared?”

The place of questioning was the deaf-mute and blind deity in the Valley of Penance.

"But it has appeared here, but I don't know if it has been moved. But we can only give it a try. After all, this spiritual object has not appeared in the world of immortality for thousands of years. Apart from here, we can't find it anywhere else." Looking for…”

In the middle of Zizhen Immortal's answer, his words suddenly stopped. His expression changed even more, and those who changed his expression at the same time as Immortal Zizhen were Mr. Liu and a grandmaster who looked like a rich man.

After a while, the other eleven grandmasters also changed their colors one after another.

"Coming."

Mr. Liu murmured, his expression nervous, but with a hint of expectation. The expressions of other masters were also similar to his.

Just a moment after Mr. Liu's words fell, a majestic momentum that changed the color of the world suddenly came from the bottom of the sea, and as this momentum became stronger and stronger. The originally clear sky suddenly darkened, dark clouds gathered, lightning thundered, and the sea wind became more violent. Then, a whirlpool gradually appeared from the sea surface under the "Xuanqing Grass". As time went by, the size of this whirlpool became Getting bigger and bigger. In just a moment, it expanded to several miles in radius. It seems that the whole world can be absorbed by it.

Seeing such momentum, even the masters couldn't help but change their expressions slightly.

After a while. A distant but majestic scream sounded from the bottom of the sea. Even though it was separated by the thick sea surface, it still made the world shake. It was just a scream, but it carried the majesty that made all things surrender.

Then, at the center of the whirlpool, a huge object suddenly broke out of the water and rushed towards the "Xuanqingcao" in the sky. Its body was slender and it didn't know where it would end. After being out of the water for hundreds of feet, its body still didn't completely leave the sea.

I saw that this behemoth carried an inexplicable majestic power. It had antlers and cow buds, a camel head and rabbit eyes, a snake neck and a mirage belly, deer feet and eagle claws, and green scales all over its body shining with a faint green light. It turned out to be one of the four legendary beasts. ——Qinglong! !

Even though these masters had a stable mind and had been prepared for this, they were still stunned for a moment when they saw such a divine object. But at this moment, Mr. Liu's voice suddenly sounded.

"What are you old guys doing?! Why are you so stupid? Quickly stop it. That Xuanqingcao is my treasure. If you are really eaten by this beast, I will never finish with you!!"

The extremely powerful Qinglong was just a beast in Mr. Liu's eyes, and his tone sounded like he was talking about a poultry.

Under Mr. Liu's shouts, all the masters finally reacted. They pinched the secrets in their hands and saw that the originally powerful green dragon was flying towards the "Xuanqingcao" slower and slower, and its body seemed to It has been imprisoned by an invisible cage. Although it struggled hard, roared repeatedly, the sea surface churned, and the heaven and earth shook, it was still unable to resist.

It's just that Qinglong is Qinglong after all. Under its resistance, although the fourteen masters jointly cast spells, its face gradually turned pale, and it felt that the spiritual energy in its body began to be consumed at an extremely exaggerated rate.

In the end, although Qinglong was extremely powerful, it was not the place where the fourteen grandmasters joined forces. After resisting for ten days, he finally gave up the resistance. In the roar of unwillingness, he was defeated by the grandmaster with a golden light. The flashing flag was put away.

When all this was done, the masters, regardless of anything else, quietly recovered while suspended in place. It took three full days before they opened their eyes one after another.

"Let's go, now we just caught Suzaku and Qinglong, and there are two more good ones and four odd ones waiting for us old guys to fight hard."

Mr. Liu smiled bitterly.

After hearing Mr. Liu's words, all the masters nodded slightly, and then flew quickly towards the west. In the blink of an eye, there was no trace, leaving only a blue sky and earth that had regained its calm.

On the other side, west of Xisha, is also a desolate and inhabited land. Rain has not fallen for thousands of years, lakes and rivers have not been seen for thousands of miles, and there is drought and scorching sun. Even the most tenacious plants such as cacti cannot survive, quicksand is everywhere. Storms came one after another, digging up hundreds of feet of sand, and dead bones could be seen everywhere. Under the wind and sand, the sky and the earth are covered, a withered and yellow world.

And in this desolate place, a ray of purple suddenly appeared that day, and it was a purple-clothed monk flying towards somewhere deep in the Xisha, although the person who came had the cultivation level of the golden elixir at its peak. However, he was unlucky and happened to encounter a terrifying storm. The entire desert world was raging with crazy wind and sand that made people desperate. Even with this person's cultivation, it was difficult to move forward.

With great difficulty, this man finally survived the ravages of the sandstorm, recovered for a moment, smoothed out his messy and wrinkled clothes, and the ring engraved with the word "sun" on his hand had now withstood the ravages of the sandstorm. The color seems to have become a bit dull as well.

After doing all this, the monk closed his eyes and sensed for a moment, then flew dozens of miles further west, but stopped in mid-air. Then without hesitation, he spoke to a vast and desolate desert: "On the monk's day in the underworld, I would like to see my fellow Taoist priest who can ward off evil spirits."

After shouting three times in succession, the desert, which had finally returned to calm, finally responded again. I saw that the desert at the feet of "Sun" suddenly began to flow in all directions like water. A moment later, a large underground city suddenly appeared in front of him. This city looks like a human city, with neat streets and numerous houses. In the middle of the city, there is a magnificent and magnificent palace.

Seeing that the master of this city had no intention of welcoming him, "Ri" couldn't help but frown slightly, but he was dissatisfied with this man's arrogance. It would be fine if this man's cultivation was as powerful as Xuanhuang of Heaven and Earth, but in fact On top of that, this person's cultivation level is not much stronger than him, he just relies on his mysterious skills, so he has never met an opponent among the monks in the pill formation stage.

However, the look of dissatisfaction only flashed past. The reason why "Ri" came here was to invite this person to join the "Ming" organization, but he could not offend him.

"It turned out to be Rizun, but I don't know why he came to my humble residence after a hundred years?"

His words were humble, but his tone was filled with powerful pride. When "Ri" entered the deepest and most luxurious room of this palace, he suddenly remembered.

"Sun" looked up, but he saw a man wearing the clothes of a mortal human emperor sitting quietly in the deepest part of the room, his eyes heavy. He was the only one in the city of Nuo Earth. "I'm here to report my funeral."

Seeing that this man didn't even have the intention to stand up and greet him, "Ri" felt dissatisfied again, but he still said politely.

Hearing "Ri"'s words, a frightening light flashed in the eyes of the man wearing royal robes. After a moment of silence, he slowly said: "Do you agree with what you said?"

"Ri" sighed slowly, but said: "Our Ming Organization is ashamed of fellow Taoist. After being separated from fellow Taoist a hundred years ago, your brother joined our Ming Organization. But three years ago, he Being killed, I am unable to protect myself. Although I am thinking of ways to take revenge, the power behind the killer is too great, so I hope fellow Taoists can cooperate with us and reconsider joining the Wo Ming organization. "

As he spoke, a faint murderous aura began to spread throughout the city. Even though "Sun" was dissatisfied with this man's arrogance, he was still frightened when he sensed this piercing murderous aura. He had to admit that although this man was arrogant, , but he does have arrogant capital.

"Who killed my brother?"

After a long time, the murderous aura receded like a tide, and the man in yellow robe asked slowly.

"A monk named Xu Qingfan in the Righteous Alliance."

After a long time, the man finally spoke again: "Okay, I agree. But after avenging my brother, I will quit immediately."

"Ri" smiled slightly, bowed and said, "Thank you, fellow Taoist, for your understanding."

After a pause, he suddenly took off the ring on his hand, waved his hand and slowly flew towards the man in yellow robe. At the same time, he said: "My fellow Taoist is stronger than me, so I should give up my position to you." Fellow Taoist."

The man in royal robes was rude. After grabbing the ring, he hesitated slightly and put it on his hand, which officially marked his joining the mysterious "Ming" organization.

North of the Arctic, there is a crystal clear world, with sunlight shining and reflecting. A dazzling beauty. The aurora flashes across the sky, the wind and snow on the earth are beautiful, but the whole world gives people a sense of tranquility and beauty.

That was the secret palace of the previous owners of the Treasure Pavilion. At this time, it was occupied by Zhang Xusheng, after he came to Beibing and killed the owner of the Treasure Pavilion. However, Zhang Xusheng often came here and stood quietly for several days at a high place, dazzled by the crystal clear beauty, and his handsome and evil face was filled with intoxicating admiration.

But at this time, Zhang Xusheng did not look at the wonders of the North Ice as usual, but looked at the book in his hand. Here, various major and minor events in the world of immortality over the years were recorded, including information about "underworld". . It’s also about the Righteous Alliance. Behind him, there were three men and women kneeling with extraordinary power. However, in front of Zhang Xusheng, they did not dare to raise their heads and take another look.

When Zhang Xusheng saw the information about Xu Qingfan, he suddenly stopped turning the book in his hand, and a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.

After a moment, a charming smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he said softly: "Xu Qingfan, this little guy is very interesting. In just seven years, he first expelled the Bahuang Palace from the prosperous Middle-earth. In three years, I even killed Ying with my own hands before, but now these little guys are becoming more and more incredible."

After a pause, Zhang Xusheng suddenly turned around and asked the three people behind him: "Do you have any more information about this little guy?"

The three of them were slightly stunned, but they didn't know why their omnipotent master paid so much attention to this inconspicuous figure. But he didn't dare to hesitate at all. Immediately reported in detail the information they collected about Xu Qingfan.

Xu Qingfan has been shining brightly in recent years. But compared with Zhang Xusheng, it can only be called inconspicuous.

"It turns out to be the deacon elder of Jiuhua? It really makes me more and more interested." Zhang Xusheng said with a smile. But here it comes. But suddenly the conversation changed and he asked again: "Ten years ago, is there any news about Xu Fan, the loose cultivator in the Southern Wilderness whom I asked you to look for?"

The three of them shook their heads at first, but then they reacted. One of them asked cautiously: "Master, do you mean that Xu Qingfan is Xu Fan? I have also suspected this, but according to the information I got, At this time, Xu Qingfan was already at the peak stage of real elixir cultivation. Before Xu Fan disappeared, he was only at the cultivation level of virtual elixir stage. Although he and Xu Fan both had Dark Crow as their spiritual pets, Xu Qingfan's Dark Crow was. The Earth level is advanced, and Xu Fan's is only the Intermediate level. There is a huge difference between the two. It seems unlikely that such progress will be made in just over ten years."

Zhang Xusheng sighed, seemingly extremely disappointed, and then asked: "How many years has Xu Qingfan been cultivating immortality?"

"One hundred and ten years."

"Then what kind of cultivation did he have when he was in Jiuhua Fengshan?"

"The early stage of spiritual silence."

"How long has it been since Jiuhua closed the mountain?"

"Less than seventy years."

After hearing these answers, Zhang Xusheng sighed again and said slowly: "Why do you all know this, but you just can't think of it? Since Xu Qingfan can improve his cultivation from the early stage of spiritual silence in less than seventy years When it comes to the late stage of real elixir, why can’t it take less than twenty years to break through from the middle stage of virtual elixir to the late stage of real elixir?”

Hearing what Zhang Hualing said, the three people were slightly startled. They had just thought that it would be impossible to achieve such a breakthrough in more than ten years, but they did not expect what Zhang Xusheng said.

The fact is that some things are extremely obvious, but subjectively, most people cannot see them. And the few people who can see it, we call them wisdom.

Zhang Xusheng added: "As for the improvement of Dark Crow's cultivation level, it is better to explain. Have you forgotten why the Zhong family is looking for Xu Fan? With that thing, it is not surprising that Dark Crow's level has been improved."

After a pause, Zhang Xusheng thought for a moment, but a faint smile appeared on his face, and he said slowly: "Don't alarm him first, but don't let him go at this time. Move."

After the three people retreated, Zhang Xusheng murmured: "Another very interesting little guy, but I wonder if he can reach the point where I have expectations?

The southern part of the Southern Wilderness is still a restricted area for humans. In addition to the desolation of the land, it is also because there are countless powerful monsters running rampant here. Earth-level monsters abound, and heaven-level monsters also appear from time to time. Even if you are cultivating immortals in the pill formation stage, you can't escape smoothly if you rush in.

However, although there are many monsters here, they have always stayed in the south of the Southern Wilderness and rarely set foot in the Southern Wilderness. The prosperous Middle-earth in the north of the Southern Wilderness has not been entered for thousands of years.

But at this time, suddenly, in the southern part of the southern wilderness, which was generally peaceful, there was a sense of impetuousness for some reason. Powerful monsters kept roaring angrily, and the roars became more and more intensive. For a moment, After that, it resounded throughout the sky, without any gaps in the middle. Thousands of roars gathered together, shaking people's hearts and minds.

Finally, under the leadership of a few of the most powerful monster beasts, countless monster beasts rushed towards the north. Ten thousand hooves stepped on the ground, and the heaven and earth shook! !
