Celestial being

After nine-nine-eighty-one.

Inside the Heaven Stealing Cauldron, Yuan Ming sat cross-legged in the tree, concentrating and making final preparations before the breakthrough.

After this period of hard training, he has perfected the "Three Souls and Nine Refinements" to the extreme, and now he can clearly sense the bottleneck of the sleeping witch realm.

Not far away, Xiying held Guoguo in her arms, gently stroking the fur on its back with one hand, looking at Yuan Ming who was about to break through, and finally warned: "If you find something wrong, I will forcefully help you exorcise the demons in your heart. ."

The inner demon tribulation will not affect others, so Xiying does not need to leave too far.

Yuan Ming gave Chao Xiying a reassuring look, then silently closed his eyes and began to try for the final breakthrough in his state of mind.

He mobilized all his soul power in the sea of ​​consciousness and operated in a strange and strange way, and his consciousness gradually became faint.

Yuan Ming did not stop this and quickly fell into a deep sleep.

…

In the Jin Dynasty, Qu Jiang was the prime minister of the country.

The night was already dark, but Yuan Ming was still sitting in front of the desk processing documents.

As the Prime Minister of the Jin Dynasty, although Yuan Ming was already a highly respected minister, he never considered indulging in pleasure. Instead, he focused all his attention on government affairs.

In order for the people in the world to live a good life, what does it matter if he stays up for a few more hours?

"Da da da"

Outside the house, a sound of soft footsteps suddenly sounded. The guard guarding the door moved and after confirming the identity of the visitor, he let him into the house.

"Xiangguo Yuan, there is an order from His Majesty." The person who came was none other than Liu Tianming's personal eunuch, Eunuch Zhang.

Yuan Ming raised his head and looked nervous: "Eunuch Zhang, what happened in the palace?"

Eunuch Zhang shook his head, took out a memorial from his sleeve robe, and placed it on Yuan Ming's desk.

When Yuan Ming saw the familiar handwriting on the cover of the memorial, his face instantly turned gloomy: "This is the memorial I presented today. Why did Your Majesty make a special trip to ask Eunuch Zhang to return it?"

"Yuan Xiangguo, His Majesty said that your intention in this letter is good. It is just to promote spiritual root testing on a large scale. This matter has offended too many people, and Changchun Temple will not agree." Eunuch Zhang sighed. .

"Why is this? I don't know how many of the thousands of people in our Great Jin Dynasty have spiritual roots, but suffer from the lack of channels to set foot on the immortal path. If the imperial court comes forward and organizes spiritual root testing for them, all the major sects will not be able to Getting more disciples will be beneficial without any harm, so how can it offend others?" Yuan Ming frowned.

"Alas, Yuan Xiangguo, think about it, although there are far more than ten million people in our Jin Dynasty, there are not even one who has spiritual roots. Among them, the four spiritual roots and the three spiritual roots are the most numerous. Just like you... cough cough , in short, these people are not wanted by Changchun Guan and can only be accepted by other sects. Therefore, unified detection of spiritual roots is of no benefit to Changchun Guan. What's more, Changchun Guan - and even the entire Jin Dynasty, There are countless large and small cultivating families, and there are also disciples with poor qualifications in their families. Even if there are not enough disciples for them, how can there be room for common people with spiritual roots?" Eunuch Zhang shook his head.

"It's ridiculous. This kind of good thing that benefits the country and the people can't be carried out because of the opposition of these immortal cultivating families? Is our Jin Dynasty the Jin Dynasty of the people in the world, or is it theirs?" Yuan Ming said angrily.

"Yuan Xiangguo, be careful what you say." Eunuch Zhang was taken aback, looked around in panic, and warned in a low voice.

Seeing this, Yuan Ming took a deep breath and calmed down: "Since it cannot be implemented, your majesty can just refute this memorial. Why do you have to make a special trip to deliver it?"

"Your Majesty, just in case, it would be better for you, Yuan Xiangguo, to burn the memorial in person, so that the people in Changchun Temple won't hear about it and it will be detrimental to you secretly." Eunuch Zhang lowered his voice a little more and said .

Yuan Ming stared at the memorial, pondered for a long time, and finally took the brazier himself and threw the memorial into it.

Eunuch Zhang witnessed the memorial being burned to ashes with his own eyes, and he breathed a sigh of relief: "With all due respect, Yuan Xiangguo, similar memorials should be kept infrequently in the future, so as not to make it difficult for His Majesty. Although he is the emperor, he still has Changchun to watch over him. Up there, there are some things that you can’t help yourself with.”

Yuan Ming had no expression on his face and murmured to himself: "Although Tianming is the emperor, he is still imprisoned by invisible chains and is not free."

Eunuch Zhang nodded and was about to turn around and leave. When he walked to the door, he said something strangely: "Yuan Xiangguo, if you really want to say it, this Da Jin is actually the Da Jin of Changchun Temple. How can we mortals?" Can you compete with immortals like them?"

Yuan Ming didn't answer. After Eunuch Zhang left, he looked through the memorial on the desk again, but he couldn't read a single word.

Decades later, Liu Tianming was promoted to build the foundation, passed the throne to his eldest son, and entered the Changchun Temple to practice hard. Yuan Ming took the opportunity to completely take charge of the court, united with the major sects except Changchun Temple, and once again went to Shu, please open the Immortal Branch, and use To select immortal talents among the people.

For a time, the government and the public were shaken, but no one came forward to stop him. Just when everyone thought the situation was settled, Elder Jiedan of the Changchun Guan sect came to Qujiang in person. Yuhu, the national master, captured Yuan Ming and imprisoned him in the sky prison. Only one day later, He was charged with treason and asked to be executed in the street.

It is said that before his death, Yuan Ming was neither happy nor sad. He asked Yuhu, the national master, in the street, why he refused to grant immortality to the people of the world. Yuhu did not answer, but ordered the servant to kill him with his hands.

Although Yuan Ming died, his deeds and aspirations were widely spread under the promotion of caring people.

Decades later, many uninformed cultivators emerged among the people of the Jin Dynasty, and the major sects also secretly joined forces to jointly set off a wave of resistance to Changchun Guan.

…

Southern Xinjiang.

The former Biluo Cave had been completely destroyed by the Breaking Dawn Alliance, but Yuan Ming, who was a closed disciple of Ling Songhua, got the news early and worked with his brothers from Huolian Hall to avoid that crucial battle.

After the war, Yuan Ming bid farewell to Li Zhui and his master Ling Songhua, and embarked on a journey to retrieve his memory alone.

After many twists and turns, he was promoted to Foundation Establishment by chance. After returning to the Central Plains, he spent several years before returning to Qujiang and meeting his biological parents.

However, even though he spent time with his parents day and night, he still could not recover the lost memories. A few years later, he left Qujiang again and returned to southern Xinjiang. He found Li Zhui and Ling Songhua again and told the story of his life during this period. experience and made a request.

"Senior Li, master and disciple are brave and want to rebuild Sanxing Mountain. I wonder if I can ask you two to come forward to serve as elders. You don't have to worry about everything, just name it." Yuan Ming said.

Li Zhui was silent, while Ling Songhua asked directly: "Since you have found your parents in the Central Plains and have a brother in Changchun Temple, why do you want to return to southern Xinjiang to start a new business? Isn't it better to stay in the Central Plains Dazong than to Is it pleasant to suffer here?"

"The disciple is not very talented. Even if he accepts Liu Tianming's favor and stays in Changchun Temple, he will not achieve much in his life. Moreover, the disciple was born as a beast slave and knows best the sufferings of casual cultivators and mortals in the southern and northern regions. Even if Bi Luo The cave has been destroyed, but how can the other four sects be better than Biluo Cave? The disciples came back just to give the cultivators in the southern and northern regions one more choice, and also to bring civilization and enlightenment to the mortals here. ." Yuan Ming explained.

Li Zhui sighed: "What you want to do is difficult. Even with our support, it is not easy to gain a foothold in the Northern Territory."

"As long as the disciples work hard, even if they don't succeed, they will still feel guilty." Yuan Ming insisted.

Li Zhui and Ling Songhua were silent for a long time, and finally agreed to Yuan Ming's request.

Several years later, after Yuan Ming's unremitting efforts, he finally reached an agreement with the other four sects. Sanxing Mountain was rebuilt with Yuan Ming as the leader. A group of Huoliantang disciples returned one after another to contribute to the sect.

After Yuan Ming established the sect through his connections in the Central Plains, he quickly attracted the Qingyan Society. With the help of their name, it took several years to finally gain a firm foothold in the southern and northern regions.

Subsequently, he extensively recruited disciples and specially set up schools in various savage tribes under his rule. In addition to teaching, he also discovered many seeds of immortality.

Gradually, the power of Sanxing Mountain grew under the auspices of Yuan Ming, but this also attracted the covetousness of the Qingyan Society. Fortunately, at the critical moment, Yuan Ming was promoted to Jiedan and defeated the president of the Qingyan Society in public, showing both kindness and power. In the end, it annexed the Qingyan Society.

In the following decades, Yuan Ming practiced secretly and used methods secretly. Finally, at the age of 120, when he broke through to the late stage of pill formation, he completely convinced the other three sects, and the southern and northern territories were almost unified.

Yuan Ming's concept of cultivating immortals has also been thoroughly promoted, benefiting every corner of the southern and northern territories.

Thirty years later, at the banquet for Yuan Ming's 150th birthday, the elders from all the major alchemy circles in the southern and northern regions gathered to congratulate him. The Sanxing Mountain was decorated with lanterns and colorful lights, and there was a lively atmosphere.

"Where is Yuan Ming?" Suddenly, the colossal pressure of the Nascent Soul level suddenly dropped in the sky, and everyone on Sanxing Mountain fell into silence, not daring to speak anymore.

However, Yuan Ming flew into the sky despite the pressure and bowed to the visitor: "I am Yuan Ming. I didn't know that my senior was here. I missed the welcome from afar. Please forgive me."

"I am the Supreme Elder of the Gu Immortal Sect in the Southern Territory of Southern Border. Yuan Ming, do you know the crime?" The visitor announced his identity, and then looked like he was raising an army to question the crime.

"Senior, can you please explain what crime I am guilty of?" Yuan Ming raised his head.

The Supreme Elder of the Gu Immortal Sect looked at Yuan Ming, suddenly laughed twice, and whispered: "You are only one hundred and fifty years old now. At such a young age, you can half step into the Nascent Soul, so you are considered a talent. It's a pity that the southern and northern regions cannot be unified, and there shouldn't be another Nascent Soul. However, I can give you a chance to join my Gu Immortal Sect. All the past affairs will be wiped out, and no one will trouble you again. "

"...Then what will happen to my disciples, as well as the Southern and Northern Territories in the future?" Yuan Ming suddenly asked.

"What it was like before, it should be like in the future." The Supreme Elder of the Gu Immortal Sect had a hint and said calmly.

Yuan Ming was silent, then shook his head firmly: "Thank you for your kindness, senior, but I'm sorry for the difficulty."

Hearing this, a cold light flashed in the eyes of the Supreme Elder of the Gu Immortal Sect: "Humph, you are stubborn, since you want to die, then I will help you!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Ming sighed: "I had already anticipated what you were thinking about in the Southern Territory, but I didn't expect this day to come so quickly. Unfortunately, I am only one step away from Nascent Soul. Alas, that's all. , now that we have prepared our back-ups, why would we be reluctant to part with them?"
