Immortal Path Evergreen

Chapter 99: Entanglement of Cause and Effect

Back then on Qilin Island, if it weren't for Zhang Zhixuan and his wife, Jin Yan Zhenren would never have been able to get the Lotus Dharma Body from Gao Zongwang. Although this was a win-win situation, Zhang Zhixuan was also very kind to Jin Yan Zhenren and Chu Linfang and his son.

Once the Ziyang Sect and the Demon-Subduing Sect had a conflict, Jin Yan Zhenren would be in a dilemma.

Even if he wanted to help Zhang Zhixuan, he didn't dare to offend the Demon-Subduing Sect easily.

The Demon-Subduing Sect was a major sect of the Yuanshen Sect, and its style was very domineering. As a high-level casual cultivator, Jin Yan Zhenren had not cultivated amazing great magical powers, and he was unwilling to have conflicts and contradictions with the cultivators of this sect.

And Zhang Zhixuan and his wife had been very kind to him. If he stood by and watched, he would not only be ridiculed, but also violated his usual principles of life.

Once Zhang Zhixuan and his wife offended the Demon-Subduing Sect, it would be difficult for Jin Yan Zhenren to stay out of it, and he would inevitably be involved in various causes and effects.

After the catastrophe, the road became increasingly difficult, and Jin Yan Zhenren also lost the courage and determination to continue to forge ahead.

In the past few hundred years, he had long lost the courage and bravery of his youth, and gradually became a businessman who cared about gains and losses.

In his heart, Jin Yan Zhenren hoped that the two sides would make peace.

According to Jin Yan Zhenren's thoughts, Zhang Zhixuan and his wife were already the top Nascent Souls in the Yuanyang Realm. Even the Demon-Subduing Sect, a major Yuanshen Sect, would not easily offend such a cultivator with amazing potential.

This time, Jin Yan Zhenren thought that he had more than 70% to 80% chance of success in the Demon-Subduing Sect.

With a little trepidation, Jin Yan Zhenren packed his luggage and rushed to the gate of the Demon-Subduing Sect in a swift and decisive manner.

The Demon-Subduing Sect is a Yuanshen Sect. The head and the elder did not come out to greet him in person. He was received by Shang Tianyang, the elder of the Demon-Subduing Sect.

Shang Tianyang was tall and burly, wearing a fiery red Taoist robe. He had a loud voice and looked like a rough man on the surface.

However, this person looked very old, his skin and flesh had gradually loosened, his white hair was hidden under the Taoist crown, and many wrinkles had appeared on his face.

Generally speaking, even if a Nascent Soul cultivator is old, his skin still has a baby-like rosy color, and he looks very healthy, much better than young people.

Like Shang Tianyang, either his life span is about to end and he can no longer lock his spirit, or he has cultivated some special magical powers and consumed his spirit too much.

Shang Tianyang is a cultivator from a large sect, and his situation cannot be hidden from outsiders.

His cultivation is at the third level of the Nascent Soul, and his life span is more than 1,600 years old. He is indeed at the critical moment of turning the calamity, and he may sit and die at the mountain gate at any time. So in recent years, the Demon Subduing Sect has asked him to do these things of welcoming and seeing off.

This person is also a cultivator with a heavenly spiritual root. When he was young, he played an important role in the Demon Subduing Sect. Unfortunately, many years ago, Shang Tianyang went out to fight with others and was severely injured by a casual cultivator of the Nascent Soul, breaking his sea of ​​qi. Since then, his cultivation has not improved for many years.

Although the Nascent Soul cultivator can use the mysterious energy of the Nascent Soul in his body to change the root bone qualification of the Dao fetus, most people who turn the calamity have two or three spiritual roots.

Only those with deep roots and extraordinary luck, and with a strong Nascent Soul in their bodies, can turn the catastrophe into a heavenly spiritual root.

Moreover, the matter of turning the catastrophe is very mysterious. There are some reasons that even the Yuanshen cultivators cannot figure out, and the spiritual roots of the cultivators after the turning the catastrophe cannot be controlled casually.

For example, Qing Chan practiced fire attribute skills in his previous life, and in this life, he turned the catastrophe into a water spiritual root. He can only find a new way, and the difficulty of cultivation has increased a bit.

After Shang Tianyang's path was cut off, his importance in the Demon Subduing Sect was greatly reduced.

Before the turning the catastrophe, he had a great probability of becoming a great cultivator, and in the future he would become the great elder and head of the Demon Subduing Sect.

After the turning the catastrophe, everything will become uncertain. If the spiritual roots have not changed much, you can still practice the familiar skills, and you can recover your cultivation in about two hundred years. After that, everything will go smoothly on the road of cultivation, and you can barely cultivate to the ninth level of the Nascent Soul before sitting.

If the spiritual roots are completely different from the previous life, it will be more difficult to cultivate, and it may not be possible to enter the seventh level of the Nascent Soul. After all, this person does not have the comprehension of Zhang Zhixuan and Qingchan, who can deduce the skills and establish the Taoism.

In the history of Yuanyang Realm for hundreds of thousands of years, there are only a few cultivators who need to deduce the skills, and only dozens of people who have cultivated the Yuanshen.

Most high-level cultivators still rely on the foundation passed down by their ancestors.

As a sixth-level upper-grade weapon refiner, Jin Yan Zhenren also has a high reputation in Zhongchizhou.

Although he mainly works in the Demon Refining City, Shang Tianyang has also heard of his reputation.

Hearing that Jin Yan Zhenren was visiting, Shang Tianyang did not put on airs, and immediately walked out of the mountain gate in person and brought this person into his cave.

"As the saying goes, no one comes to our temple without a reason. Brother Jin Yan, what's the important matter when you come to our mountain gate today?"

"I am here to discuss something with your sect. The head of Ziyang Sect is my best friend. You should know why he sent cultivators to run the Wenxian Tower."

Before Jin Yan finished speaking, Shang Tianyang interrupted him and asked, "Could it be that Yang Xuanzhen is hiding in the market we control?"

They are all old foxes who have practiced Taoism for many years. As soon as Jin Yan opened his mouth, Shang Tianyang guessed his purpose.

"You guessed right, this person is named Xu Yantai and is hiding in Huaishanfang."

"I am afraid that Brother Jin Yan guessed wrong. I have also seen Xu Yantai. He is a male cultivator, not the Yang Xuanzhen you are looking for."

When he heard Shang Tianyang's words with a hint of evasion, Jin Yan Zhenren was shocked and frowned in his heart: "Daoyou Zhang and his wife are both promising people. Under normal circumstances, although the cultivators of this sect are arrogant, they will never offend them for no reason. Is there any hidden secret in this matter?"

Even though he had some doubts in his heart, Jin Yan Zhenren said calmly on the surface: "How could this be wrong? Daoyou Zhang naturally entrusted me to come here. I'm afraid the matter has been investigated, otherwise they would never ask me to come to their door to act as this middleman?"

"I have some friendship with Xu Yantai. This person has a life span of more than 400 years. He became a Nascent Soul two years ago. Everything is normal during his cultivation process. . Yang Xuanzhen's calamity transformation will not exceed 200 years, so this person can never be the one who transformed Yang Xuanzhen. "

From Shang Tianyang's intention, it is obvious that he must protect Yang Xuanzhen. Although he is not sure why, Jin Yan Zhenren did not force him, but he was a little worried in his heart. He remained calm on the surface and nodded easily, saying: "I am an insider. I will definitely tell Taoist Zhang what you said. Maybe it was Zhang Daoyou who made a mistake."

Jin Yan Zhenren exchanged a few polite greetings, with a heavy heart. He was about to leave the gate of the Demon Subduing Sect and tell Zhang Zhixuan the news, but found that Shang Tianyang had cast a magic power to open the cave restriction and seal the cave.

Sensing the abnormality, Jin Yan Zhenren's magic power began to operate, ready to take action at any time, and his face gradually became solemn.

"What does Fellow Daoist Shang mean? Are you going to attack me and imprison me in the cave?"

"Fellow Daoist Jin Yan has misunderstood. It's just that this matter is of great importance. The head master has been in seclusion, and the elder is traveling. This matter still needs to be decided by Senior Brother Yu. Fellow Daoist may as well have a cup of tea in my cave and wait for a while, so that I can notify Senior Brother Yu immediately."

Fellow Daoist Jin Yan said slowly with a gloomy face: "What if I must leave?"

"Fellow Daoist should wait. This is the mountain gate of the Demon Subduing Sect. If Fellow Daoist Jin Yan forcibly attacks the cave restrictions, he will probably suffer. If he is not careful, he will be counterattacked by the mountain gate formation and lose his life in vain."

Although he secretly hated Shang Tianyang for this move, in the base camp of the Demon Subduing Sect, True Man Jin Yan would never dare to act rashly. There are more than 30 Yuanying in this sect, and there must be many Taoist masters in the mountain gate. Once he takes action first, he will become unreasonable and can only watch Shang Tianyang leave the cave.

After locking Jin Yan Zhenren inside the cave, Shang Tianyang's face suddenly became solemn, and he immediately entered the cave of his fellow disciple Yu Wangke.

There are not many cultivators in the Demon-Subduing Sect, only about 3,000 in total.

This sect is a master-disciple inheritance, and the founders are six Yuanying stage casual cultivators. Although the founders did not leave any amazing foundation, tens of thousands of years ago, the Demon-Subduing Sect produced a great supernatural cultivator. This person pushed forward and created a new one, and actually integrated the skills left by the six ancestors and created the Demon-Subduing Golden Body Great Method, but each has its own emphasis.

This method is all-encompassing and suitable for all five-element spiritual root cultivators to practice. After the deduction of the ancestors of all generations, the integrity of this method is superior to the Tianhe Great Method, and it can be practiced to the eighth level of the Yuanshen. However, the Demon-Subduing Sect has successively produced three Yuanshen ancestors, and except for the Demon-Subduing ancestor who created this method, none of them has practiced to this level.

The founder of this generation of the Demon-Subduing Sect is only at the third level of the Yuanshen

Shang Tianyang and Yu Wangke do not have the same master, but they are from the same lineage and have the same master. Their masters are direct brothers and sisters, and they have a very close relationship.

Yu Wangke is seven feet tall and thin. He wears a green Taoist robe and looks relatively young. He took the Dingyan Pill when he was young. Unless he sits and dies, his appearance can always be fixed at the time of taking the pill.

Although this person is Shang Tianyang's junior brother and is several decades younger than him, his cultivation is already at the seventh level of the Yuanying.

Even in the Yuanshen Sect of the Demon-Subduing Sect, the status of the late Yuanying elders is extraordinary, and their authority in the sect is far more important than Shang Tianyang.

"Brother Yu, today, Zhang Zhixuan of Ziyang Sect entrusted Jin Yan Zhenren to come to our door and hope that we hand over Xu Yantai. Tell me the truth today, is this Xu Yantai Yang Xuanzhen?"

Hearing that Ziyang Sect sent someone to come to his door, Yu Wangke's face changed drastically, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he was a little surprised.

He was the only one who knew the details of Yang Xuanzhen's transformation into Xu Yantai. He never expected that Ziyang Sect would come to his door?

Although Yu Wangke did not say it directly, Shang Tianyang could not hide his expression. He frowned and said, "I will help you hold back Jin Yan Zhenren first. You should notify Xu Yantai as soon as possible and let him change his appearance and find another hiding place to avoid her getting into trouble and implicating his junior brother. According to my opinion, you should think of a way. It is best to be honest with the head and the elder about this matter, hide Xu Yantai at the mountain gate, and never go down the mountain for the rest of his life. Only in this way can safety be guaranteed."

The reason why Shang Tianyang was willing to help Yu Wangke protect Yang Xuanzhen was also related to a hidden story.

Two hundred years ago, Yu Wangke's youngest son got a special strange disease, and a mysterious poisonous insect grew in his body. This incident actually made the Yuanying cultivators of the Demon-Subduing Sect helpless. And the Yuanshen Patriarch of this sect was in a deadly state, preparing to break through the realm.

Although Yu Wangke was an important Yuanying elder of the Demon-Subduing Sect, he did not dare to alarm the Yuanshen Patriarch to break through the realm and save his child's life because of this matter.

Yu Wangke had a son in his old age and regarded the child as a treasure. In order to save the child's life, he shamelessly begged countless people, and finally even sought help from strange people in the market, hoping that some knowledgeable and experienced cultivators would save his life.

Although the Xuansu Sect has insufficient foundation, it still has some special inheritance. Liu Xuanyan did not obtain the Heavenly Book of Daoism or seventh-level spiritual objects in the Immortal Cave Mansion, but he also took away three jade slips, which recorded some secret experiences of the Yuanyang Realm.

This symptom of Yu Wangke's child is precisely recorded on the jade slips. This kind of Gu is called Qingworm Gu, and Yang Xuanzhen happened to have heard about it.

The green worm Gu likes to devour mana, and will dissipate when touched by external forces. Once the green worm dies, the host will also die. The people parasitized by this Gu have different cultivation levels. Sometimes even Nascent Soul monks will be infected, and all their mana will be used to cheapen the Gu. This Gu is very rare and has only appeared less than five times in the hundreds of thousands of years of history of the Yuanyang Realm.

The Demon-Conquering Sect is also a major sect of Yuanshen. Although there is no solution, they can still recognize this kind of Gu insect and dare not act rashly.

To solve this poison, you need the nemesis of the Golden Cauldron Toad.

The Golden Cauldron Toad is just an ordinary fourth-level monster, and it is not that rare in the world of immortality. However, the monks who know how to solve the green insect poison are probably only three or five people from the Xuansu Sect in the entire Yuanyang world.

Before taking action, Yang Xuanzhen made a request, hoping to sign a life-and-death talisman before he chose to save people.

In order to let Yang Xuanzhen take action and win the trust of this person, Yu Wangke could only nod his head and agree, tying his life to Yang Xuanzhen. Shang Tianyang was also a witness to this matter. Although he did not know the identity of this Xu Yantai, he knew that he had extremely powerful abilities. Enemy.

In the following years, Yang Xuanzhen also took the initiative to confess his identity to Yu Wangke. However, the enemy he offended was too powerful, and Yu Wangke did not dare to tell the senior officials of the sect easily.

Hearing this, Yu Wangke's expression changed and he said in disbelief: "Does Zhang Zhixuan dare to take action in Huaishanfang?"

Shang Tianyang said solemnly: "This person has great supernatural powers and is so bold that he may not dare to kill people in our city? This person dared to violate the rules of Wuwei Sect back then, and he may not be afraid of our Demon Subduing Sect today? Once this person makes up his mind, I am determined to rely on the power of Huaishanfang to stop this person. If this person kills Yang Xuanzhen in Huaishanfang, junior brother, you will also die. "

"You are right. In this case, I immediately informed Yang Xuanzhen of the transfer. It seems that it was a big mistake to sign the life-and-death amulet with this person on impulse that day."

The Talisman of Living and Dying involves the rules of the underworld, which directly affects the monk's natal aura, and is of no use even if it is a catastrophe.

By signing this talisman, Yu Wangke actually suffered very heavy losses. Yang Xuanzhen passed the tribulation two hundred years earlier than him, and the loss in life span alone was as much as two hundred years. If he didn't love his children so much, ordinary monks would never I can't make this decision.

"When things come to this, there's no point in regretting. Junior brother, it's better to leave immediately!

Yu Wangke had just left the mountain gate through the teleportation array. After everything was safe, Shang Tianyang released the restraint, said a few words of apology, and released the unhappy Jin Yanzhenren from the cave.

After coming out of the Demon Subduing Sect's mountain gate, Master Jin Yan immediately sent out a sixth-level transmission note, hoping to pass the news to Zhang Zhixuan and others immediately so that they could make an early decision.

Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, a golden light pierced the sky and shot down the teleportation talisman.

"Our Demon-Conquering Sect has a rule that no transmission talismans can be used within 300,000 miles of the mountain gate."

After accidentally losing a high-level transmission note, Jin Yan's face suddenly became very ugly. He stamped his feet angrily, hurriedly transformed into an escape light, and quickly disappeared without a trace.
