Ask about the Immortal Way

.

Outside the capital of Yan State.

A carriage drove out of the official road. In front of it was a mountain road with deep vegetation on both sides, making it increasingly rugged and difficult to navigate.

The driver was a muscular man with bulging temples. It was obvious at a glance that he was a martial arts master, but he was willing to be a groom.

On this kind of mountain road, no matter how high your martial arts skills are, there is nothing you can do.

After arduously walking for a certain distance, someone in the carriage said, "Stop the car, just wait here."

"Yes!" The groom got out of the car and stood aside.

The door curtain opened, Yu Lang and Tao Qi came down, walked towards the mountains, and their figures gradually disappeared in the mountains and forests.

The two of them walked as fast as flying, as if they were walking on flat ground.

The atmosphere was a bit depressing, and Tao Qi's face was always gloomy, with something on his mind.

"Is it that one?"

After crossing the mountains, Yulang points forward, and a fairy mountain can be vaguely seen among the clouds and mist.

Tao Qi nodded absently.

Yulang sighed secretly, he returned to the capital, discussed the excuse with Sha Jiayu, and revealed it to Tao Qi, and Tao Qi became like this.

He understood Tao Yu's ambitions best and could understand Tao Yu's mood, but he didn't know how to persuade his friend.

"I got you involved!"

Tao Qi suddenly looked guilty.

After learning the inside story, Tao Qi realized that there was something unusual about his master.

At the beginning, he had not even broken through the foundation building stage. When he should have been concentrating on cultivation, his master allowed him to go down the mountain, even with a hint of encouragement, without any worry that it would delay his cultivation.

Tao Qi didn't dare to think deeply.

However, his instinct told him that what he was least willing to accept might be the truth!

In fact, Yulang and Taoist Master Qingfeng may have been implicated by him.

After becoming a master, he recalled his experience in Zuixianglou and the conversation between the Storyteller and Master Qingfeng. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that both of them were masters, so naturally he wanted to ask his master for advice.

If the master had foreseen the coming chaos, he would have even intervened directly.

If the world of immortality is like what Sha Jiayu said, everyone will be involved and the world will be in turmoil.

The master and disciple who originally lived in seclusion in Qingyang Temple, hung pots to help the world, and practiced cultivation in isolation, were unable to become pure because of him.

Yulang sighed softly: "You were also kept in the dark. It was a good intention to invite me down the mountain. The matter is over, don't think too much."

In fact, he was worried, but not much.

The master's words made him feel inexplicably emboldened.

The mountain road disappeared here, and the two of them disappeared, activated their magic weapons, flew towards the fairy mountain, and landed in front of a stone cave.

Tao Qi knelt on his knees and said, "Disciple pays homage to Master."

"Junior Qin Yulang, meet your senior."

Yulang bowed and saluted.

After a period of silence, a vigorous voice came from the cave, "Why did my disciple come back to the mountain?"

The stone door did not open.

Tao Qi lowered his head and tried to use a calm voice to repeat what Yulang told him and ask his master for confirmation.

After hearing this, his master was not surprised at all and said in a calm tone: "Now that you know it, what are you going to do in the future?"

"Disciple has a question and would like to ask Master for advice."

Tao Qi paused, and when his master didn't respond, he asked, "When cultivators enter the secular world, do they use secular mortals as pawns, drive them away, and attack each other until the nations are unified and the winner is determined?"

"Yes," his master admitted frankly, but without any explanation.

Tao Qi's body trembled slightly and he continued to ask, "Will immortal cultivators who enter the secular world take action on the battlefield and use treasures and spells to kill mortals?"

"Won't."

"However, without Shinto supervision, their words and deeds will still have a huge impact on the world. With them here, unless all mortals are killed and injured, the war may never end!"

Tao Yan said in a deep voice.

"In a war between mortals, if a large army is defeated, it does not need to lose more than half, and it may not even be because of the loss of troops.

General, it is just that the general will take the initiative to surrender after weighing and finding that his strength is not as good as that of the opponent, or due to some factors outside the battlefield.

"Cultivation of immortals will change this situation.

"For example, they don't have to take action on the battlefield, they only need to reveal the identity of the immortal cultivators to the king or princes and generals, promise to give them elixirs, or lead them to the path of immortality, and confuse the public with their lies.

"There will definitely be people who will be deceived, and in order to achieve their goals, they will do whatever it takes, consume every soldier, and even drive all the people to the battlefield, and they will not hesitate to admit defeat!

"Under this huge incentive, rebellion may occur anytime and anywhere, and it will never end!"

After listening to what Tao Qi said, his master said, "Oh", "What good advice do you have?"

"Disciple has two ideas.

"First, immortal cultivators no longer hide their identities, go out as generals and become generals, fight in front of the formation, and use their magical powers to duel.

"Second, it is strictly forbidden for cultivators to confuse mortals and leave after deciding the outcome in secular ways, lest they struggle to the death."

This was the only thing he and Yulang came up with after thinking hard for the people of Yan State.

Bringing the cultivators into the game and confronting them in front of the battle line will naturally reduce mortal casualties.

Eliminating the interference of the immortal cultivators, the two brothers joined forces. If they could lead the Yan Kingdom to victory, it would be an explanation to the people of the Yan Kingdom.

It's exactly what Sha Jiayu said before, do your best!

There was silence in the cave for a moment. His master was noncommittal and just said: "Go down the mountain. If you make great achievements and return to the master, you will be richly rewarded."

Tao Qi opened his mouth and smiled miserably, "This disciple only wants to return a prosperous age to the people of Yan State, and dare not expect anything else."

He didn't dare to say anything, kowtowed and left.

Yu Lang stood aside silently, and was about to say goodbye when he was stopped by Tao Qian's master.

"Respected master, Taoist Master Qingfeng, I have been friends with you for a long time. If you dare to talk about Hinayana and Mahayana, I think you must be a master of Taoism.

"Tao Xin said that the respected master retreated from the world to pursue spiritual pursuits, but I didn't want to disturb him and was preoccupied with trivial matters, so I was unable to make the trip.

"On my behalf, please convey a message to your respected master.

"A great change is coming, and everyone in the world is in disaster.

"If necessary, I hope the Taoist priest will not hesitate to take action. Of course, there will not be too many such opportunities.

"Normally, no one would disturb Taoist Master's purity!"

Yulang waited for a moment and made sure that Tao Qian's master had no other instructions. He respectfully said, "This junior will definitely bring the words."

The two returned the same way.

From beginning to end, Master Tao Qi’s true appearance was never seen.

On the way down the mountain, Yulang thought to himself.

The situation is not as bad as Brother Sha said.

Regarding all forces, Yun Dutian and Luo Hun Yuan are not driven like slaves, but also want to win over and suppress them, rather than exhausting all the masters in the sect and completely overwhelming others with their power.

This is called playing chess.

Being suppressed like the Baili clan, the master is obviously being won over.

From the moment he was persuaded by Tao Qi to go down the mountain, it was a clever move. From then on, the master's position had already been biased.

The master may have seen through their plan a long time ago and had a tacit understanding, so he had no worries.

Thinking of this, Yulang completely settled down.

Little did he know that what he was thinking was ultimately superficial.

…

After going down the mountain.

Tao Qi and Yu Lang were focused on assisting the monarch, working hard to govern, and doing their best to enhance the national power of Yan.

Prepare your troops and horses to welcome the era of great strife.

The war came as promised.

The Qi State in the north sent troops brazenly, and the Yan State continued to retreat, but did not send more troops to the north.

Yulang was in charge of the court, and Tao Qi led the army, both internally and externally, to clean up the small countries near Yan State in a hurry.

In just three years, all the countries surrendered, and Yan's national power reached its peak.

Not only the Yan Kingdom, but the entire human world was in chaos.

Big countries annex small countries, big countries are divided within themselves, and big countries attack each other.

Annexation and division can be seen everywhere.

By this time, the battle for the throne in Daliang had not yet ended, and the country had a faint tendency to split.

There are naturally two camps behind this, and anyone with a discerning eye can see the shadow of the immortal cultivator.

On the one hand, the Yan State resisted the Qi State, and on the other hand, it colluded with the three princes of the Liang Kingdom and participated in the battle for the right to inherit the throne.

Similar situations are common in the human world.

Even if they belong to the same camp, conflicts will arise due to competition for credit. No one is willing to succumb to others, and they will always have to decide the outcome before they can unite.

The world is full of chaos and chaos, and traces of immortal cultivators can be seen everywhere.

With the joint efforts of Yulang and Tao Qi, Yan gradually stood out and its territory expanded repeatedly.

If it weren't for the dark clouds that have always shrouded the sky in the world of immortality, the pace of war could not be stopped.

The State of Yan may really be entering unprecedented prosperity!

However, the price is extremely heavy.

…

The world is full of smoke.

The world of cultivating immortals is constantly fighting.

Only Qin Sang's dojo is a pure land and is not affected.

All the combat forces under Qin Sang were sent down the mountain, and for a while, the dojo became deserted.

There are only some demon soldiers left behind, patrolling conscientiously around the dojo every once in a while.

The cave at the top of the mountain is always closed.

This day.

The stone door opened quietly, and Qin Sang walked out.

He looked outside the mountain, his eyes seeming to have swept across the entire fire field.

After a moment of pause, Qin Sang reached out and made a move, and a golden thread shot out from the magma, which was the Fire Jade Centipede.

The Fire Jade Centipede successfully overcame the tribulation and entered its fifth transformation, becoming more majestic and fierce in appearance.

It is one of the few five-change fire jade centipedes in the world.

But after breaking through the fifth transformation, the Fire Jade Centipede showed no other changes, and the Water Fire God Centipede disappeared.

Qin Sang didn't know how to help the Fire Jade Centipede, so he could only take one step at a time.

Then, a butterfly shadow flew out of Dantian and landed on Qin Sang's shoulder.

Unfortunately, it is not so easy for Tianmudie to break through the sixth transformation, otherwise it will be a big help to Qin Sang.

One person and two insects disappeared.

Next, Qin Sang’s footsteps spread throughout the Fire Territory.

Use the treasure-hunting ability of the Fire Jade Centipede and the magical power of the Heavenly Eye Butterfly to explore every corner.

Moreover, Qin Sang paid special attention to the few ruins that the Soul-Luohun Abyss Corpse Demon had discovered before.

He wanted to know what it was that both major forces were interested in and went to war over.

The two major forces continued to send masters into the fire domain, including top masters in the late stages of becoming gods.

However, the Void Refining monks on both sides will not move lightly and sit firmly on the Diaoyutai. It is impossible for these people alone to discover Qin Sang's traces.

Qin Sang noticed that during this period, new ruins were excavated.

Among them, the ruins controlled by Luohunyuan are the most numerous.

It seemed that Luohunyuan had the upper hand.

There were some places where Qin Sang found it inconvenient to force his way in. After carefully sensing them, he found that they were inextricably linked to the copper pillars.

While traveling, Qin Sang happened to experience a fight between the two sides.

A new ruin was discovered.

Four of the Yundu Nine Immortals from Yundutian appeared, and the Luohunyuan side was also comparable.

While the two sides were fighting fiercely, no one noticed that a person quietly sneaked into the ruins.

Qin Sang was strolling around the ruins, not afraid of the ancestors from both sides arriving.

As expected, this ruins and his dojo came from the same source.

After some exploration, Qin Sang found more differences.

The restrictions in the ruins here seem to be similar to those in the dojo, but in fact they are quite different.

In comparison, the dojo's array formations are more complex and mysterious, and should be a more important part.

"Panlong Ancient Formation..."

Standing in the center of the ruins, Qin Sang repeated these four words he had heard not long ago.

I have never heard of this ancient formation before.

But these findings alone are enough to shock people.

If every ruin is just a part of the Panlong Ancient Formation, this ancient formation would probably be even grander than the Altar Formation.

Qin Sang even suspected that the entire Fire Territory was only a small part of the Panlong Ancient Formation.

This is really true. The power that arranged this ancient formation is so powerful that it is unimaginable.

Luohunyuan and Yundutian combined couldn't compare to each other. No wonder they were so concerned.

Qin Sang also wanted to search for other ruins, but unexpectedly, even with the help of two spiritual insects, he found nothing.

Obviously, they must have special means.

In this way, Qin Sang no longer wastes energy.

After walking through every excavated ruins, Qin Sang came to the conclusion that the copper pillars must be a very, very important part of the Panlong Ancient Formation.

In this way, there will be articles to write!

After traveling around, Qin Sang returned to the dojo, entered the fire room, looked at the copper pillars and fell into deep thought.

A few days later.

Qin Sang flew over the dojo again, aimed downwards, and shot out seals one after another.

Following Qin Sang's movements, the entire dojo was shaken.

The magma boiled, formation flags rose from the ground, and the mountain peaks were also pulled up.

‘Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! "

Mountain peaks soar in the sky.

The formation flags circled around, spinning rapidly, and all inserted into the mountain.

With a roar, all visions disappeared.

Qingluan appeared behind Qin Sang, hugging the mountain peak, flew to a selected magma lake, and threw himself into it.

The cave and the demon soldiers inside were all sent in and hidden.

More than two hundred years ago, Qin Sang opened this dojo with his own hands, but now he destroyed it with his own hands.

The ashram has been restored to its original appearance, and its ruins have been restored to the light of day.

Qin Sang flicked his fingers, and the formation of the ruins gradually returned to its original appearance.

However, Qin Sang did not completely restore the ruins, and finally moved out the copper pillars and the core parts.

The area around the dojo had already been sealed off by Qin Sang, and the whole process produced strange phenomena without alerting anyone.

After doing all this, Qin Sang looked to the south.

Gu Yunsou, the sect master of Yundu Tiantai, the ancestor of the falcon who has fallen into the abyss and is not turning into bones, is having a great time playing chess.

It's his turn to make a move!

Qin Sang's expression darkened slightly, and with a move of his sleeves, he flew south with the copper pillar.

Fly out of the fire realm and into the desert.

The desert is also connected to the underground flame veins spreading from the Fire Domain, which can actually be regarded as a part of the Fire Domain.

Walking through the desert, Qin Sang stopped somewhere.

This is the place Qin Sang chose to settle down!
