Chapter 678: Bishop’s situation, hanging sword to ask the sky
After the Nine Saints, at the end of ancient times.
When the Immortal Realm fell, the corpses of true immortals once fell from the Chaos Sea.
At that time, the Immortal Burial Sea was still a shallow shoal. The huge spiritual power of the remains of the true immortals floated and sank, converging into an endless sea and giving birth to the Immortal Spirit Spring.
It attracted countless Tianming monks to fight, and the blood dyed the ocean red. The resentment gave rise to sneakiness, forming several ghost caves that sank to the bottom of the sea.
Master Jackdaw became enlightened in Tianming, and joined forces with the ancestors of the five great inheritance families to move mountains and fill seas, hold on to the fairy springs, suppress ghost caves and cracks in the Jiuyuan, and establish a sect. Since then, he has attracted many followers and is famous in ten continents. It attracted countless foreign sects from aristocratic families to join him.
In this flash, millions of years have passed, and the divine religion has only experienced five generations of leaders.
No one without extraordinary talent and contemporaries can control the power of a religion. This is a rule set by Master Jackdaw.
In the history of the divine religion, there have been several periods of emptiness, in which the five great inheritance families and the Supreme Elders held the power, because the geniuses of that generation were outcompeted by other sects.
In fact, the Jackdaw God Sect has the 'Instruction Hall, the Sea Prison Hall, and the Responsibility Hall', as well as the ten Dharma Kings and the thirty-six Tiangang and seventy-two Disha elders to coordinate everything, so trivial matters are not necessary at all. Nagging the headmaster.
Moreover, each generation of headmasters is extremely talented and usually reigns for a long time. For example, Chen Baishan is the leader of the entire fifth generation of disciples. He was granted the title of headmaster when he first entered the Taoist platform and has been in power for more than 200,000 years.
However, the Jackdaw Cult today seems to have an undercurrent, and there are signs of fog covering the sky.
The elders and disciples of the twenty-fourth generation each have their own agendas, and the five major inheritance families have their own plans. The disciples from the poor families want to take advantage of the situation to rise up and take advantage of Luo Jingyang’s momentum to occupy a place.
All of this is due to the bishop’s remarks in recent years.
Headmaster 'Chen Baishan' seems to be nearing his end of life. He has reached the ninth level of the Taoist platform more than 100,000 years ago. However, in this world, the road to enlightenment is cut off, the great world is set off, opportunities are gone, and the monks from the ten continents are all except Except for young people, life expectancy has been reduced sharply.
Within the divine sect, more than a dozen Hedao elders and Yuanying Consummation elders were seated on the spot, leaving many Tiangang Disha positions vacant.
Among the ten spiritual islands of Dharma kings, Longhu Island.
Longhu Dharma King was dressed in a gilt Taoist robe. He was afraid of the wind and the clouds as he breathed, but his expression was calm and intimidating.
It seems that he has also been affected by the disappearance of the opportunity between heaven and earth, but it is minimal, at least he will not die before the coming of the great world.
Outside the cave, one of the five great inheritance families, the Chu family of Shenzhao Island, has been visiting the Dragon and Tiger Dharma King frequently in the past few days.
After refusing several times, this time, the current head of the family came here in person.
Outside the hall, the head of the Chu family of Shenzhao Island walked over. He was a bearded man in a green robe, and he was also Daotai Zhenren.
"My descendant, Chu Yanjun, pays homage to my ancestor." Chu Yanjun respectfully held his sleeves and knelt down before the Dharma King Longhu and kowtowed.
Longhu Dharma King frowned slightly, opened his gilded eyes, and asked impatiently: "If you don't stay well on Shenzhao Island, why are you sending people to my place all day long? You Chu family Why did the head of the family come in person today?"
"You don't dare!" Chu Yanjun broke out in a cold sweat.
He was scolded by Dharma King Longhu. Although Dharma King Longhu was from the Chu family, the disciples of the Chu family of his generation were long gone. He was the only one left alive to this day. How could he be so talented if he could become the Dharma King? .
"Stop talking nonsense, what's the matter?" Dharma King Longhu said sternly.
"The ancestral artifacts reflect the fact that I want to return to the ancestral land of the Chu family, so I came here to ask for instructions from my ancestors." Chu Yanjun said as he cupped his hands.
The Chu family of Shenzhao Island were not natives of Tianming. Instead, they came from Dongsheng Shenzhou at the end of ancient times.
In ancient times, territories were not so clearly divided.
Among the five inherited families, the Fuyuan Daze, Falling Star Sea Han family and Xuanyun Shuixie Song family were born in Tianming. The Taohuawu Lan family and the Shenzhao Island Chu family were originally small families in the North Sea in ancient times. Master Jackdaw had a mysterious origin. , it is said that it comes from Beiming where the great demon Kunpeng lives.
Hearing this, Dharma King Longhu frowned and asked hesitantly, "Have you ever reported it to the headmaster?"
Chu Yanjun paused and sighed. : "I haven't asked for permission yet, but now there is an undercurrent in the bishop's land, and my grandfather is also seeing it. If I leave, Shenzhao Island will be coveted by many people with ulterior motives."
Five major inheritances The relationship between the aristocratic families is complicated, and there are twenty-four aristocratic families below who are concerned about their position.
“Do you want to invite me to take charge of Shenzhao Island?” Dharma King Longhu asked in a thunderous voice.
"In order to protect the inheritance of God Zhaodao, I also ask my grandfather to agree to the descendants." Chu Yanjun's eyes moved slightly and he kowtowed again.
"I have a special status, so I have to ask my senior master for advice on this matter." King Longhu paced, and then asked: "Just now you said that the ancestral artifacts were reflected, but what happened?"
"Probably...the ancestor left a secret treasure and was born." Chu Yanjun paused and said.
Hearing this, Dharma King Longhu also trembled with an unexpected expression.
The Patriarch of Shenzhao Island accompanied Master Jackdaw to conquer Tianming. After establishing a firm foothold in the Immortal Burial Sea, he returned to his clan alone not long after. It is said that he spent his old age in peace in his ancestral land. After hundreds of years, he passed away.
"I understand." Dharma King Longhu nodded in response.
......
Three days later, in the Jackdaw Island of the First Sky.
The jackdaw fluttered its wings and stopped on the pavilion of the palace to rest. His eyes were gray-brown, and he seemed to be tired.
This is a companion spirit born from heaven and earth. When it came out of Beiming with Master Jackdaw, it was still young and had not fully developed its spiritual wisdom.
It was not until the second-generation headmaster Ji Chongyun took office that he was able to master the wisdom and achieve the realm of Taoism.
In the endless years, Wen raised countless companion creatures, laying the foundation for the disciples of the Jackdaw Sect to enter Taoism in the early stages, and he was a contributor to the eternal foundation of the Sect.
However, its condition has become increasingly worse in recent years, and it seems to be showing signs of decay.
"Chen Baishan, I don't have much time left." The Jackdaw companion said in a low voice. He raised his head, his dark feathers fluttered slightly, and his eyes looked at the Taoist in the Yunwu Palace.
Chen Baishan wore a flowing cloud robe with his back to him, sitting cross-legged on the clouds, overlooking the world.
"Life is as long as the grass and trees are in autumn. Life is like a mayfly, living and dying." Chen Baishan's eyes seemed to be aging, and he could clearly feel that the mana in his body was losing.
The situation happened suddenly, with almost no expectation.
The real people in the ninth level of Daotai are the closest level to the Heavenly Way of the Ten Continents. They know best and can sense what is happening in this world. Moreover, Chen Baishan has lived for more than 200,000 years, and his bones are gradually aging.
"Among the six generations of disciples, is there anyone who is interested in you?" Chen Baishan asked, stroking his white beard.
"Ji Beilin has a steady mind and is devoted to the divine religion. He is also the direct descendant of Jackdaw's ancestor. Over the years, he has experienced in the sect and has successfully completed the many tests set by you and me. He will be the leader of the divine religion in the future." Jackdaw companion. The creature seemed to be thinking, and spoke in an old voice.
"Senior seems to have some selfish motives." Chen Baishan smiled and said.
"In your opinion, is there anyone more suitable than Ji Beilin?" Jackdaw's companion asked intently, his eyes twitching.
He did have some selfish motives because Ji Beilin was a descendant of Master Jackdaw, and over the years, it had been a long time since there had been a Taoist Taoist who spanned ten continents in this lineage, and the last one was Ji Chongyun.
"Why didn't you mention Ye Zang and Luo Jingyang?" Chen Baishan asked.
"Luo Jingyang has made too many enemies. There are countless people in the five inheritance families and the twenty-four families who hate him. He is afraid that he will not be able to control the situation of the divine religion. Although Ye Zang is highly talented, he is very scheming. If the divine religion is in danger of survival, this disciple will I'm afraid it's unreliable." Jackdaw's companion expressed his opinion.
Just like what the fourth generation head teacher said about Chen Baishan and Inspired Dharma King.
Inspiration Dharma King entered Taoism a thousand years later than Chen Baishan, but his talent was so high that he entered Taoism almost at the same time as him. But the King of Inspiration didn't care much about fame and power, and avoided the trivial matters of the divine religion.
"That Ye Zang has extremely high talents, and has also become a Taoist companion with the Golden Immortal Goddess of Fuyuan Daze. If he is willing to assist Ji Beilin in the future, great things will be done." Jackdaw Companion Spirit said. .
"You and I don't have much time left. If he dies, the bishop's situation will be difficult to say." Chen Baishan said.
The former true senior brother was extremely talented and had won the title of leader in three realms in a row. He had accumulated many years of experience in the divine sect, and he was also a direct descendant of the ancestor. Disciples from aristocratic families and poor families were also convinced by him.
Chen Baishan secretly trained him many years ago. After becoming Nascent Soul, he immediately asked him to go to the war-torn Beihuang to hone his skills. He did not let him down. Ji Beilin also established a firm foothold in the Beihuang. , leaving a legacy.
However, the rise of Ye Zang and Shu Aohan surprised him.
The Golden Fairy Goddess of Fuyuan Daze was born, and she became a disciple of Chen Baishan. The latter originally intended to train her as Ji Beilin's deputy, but this girl's talent completely exceeded Chen Baishan's expectations, and she had a tendency to catch up from behind. .
The other person was Ye Zang, who surprised Chen Baishan the most.
"Ye Zang comes from a poor family, and it's beyond my expectation that he can reach this stage. This disciple is not in my plan. He can handle the mess I left in Central Continent perfectly, and he even broke into Central Continent. Within the dynasty, his achievements in exploring the location of the dragon veins are no less than those of Ji Beilin. Moreover, his current reputation in the Shizhou Land is faintly surpassing that of Ji Beilin," Chen Baishan said in a deep voice.
Now, he is a little embarrassed. Fortunately, Ye Zang and Shu Aohan have become Taoist couples.
Otherwise, he really couldn't make a choice among these three people.
The leader of the divine religion cannot be decided by him alone. There are too many involved.
“Choose the master of the hanging sword. If you can’t decide, just leave it to ‘Wentian’. However, it’s not too reasonable. I still think Ji Beilin is the most suitable. He is the best candidate for the future master of the divine religion. "The jackdaw companion also said.
Chen Baishan listened and remained silent.
The ultimate trump card of the Jackdaw Cult, the foundation of the ten thousand-year foundation, the ‘Supreme Elder’ is the great killer weapon, the Wentian Sword.
This sword hangs high in the sky, dormant within a square inch of heaven and earth, overlooking the entire Immortal Burial Sea. It is an inherited spiritual weapon created with the painstaking efforts of Master Jackdaw and the five ancestors of the inherited family.
After the passing of Master Jackdaw, it didn’t take long for this Wentian Sword to become a great weapon.
In fact, except for the past leaders and Dharma kings, the other disciples and elders did not know the existence of this great weapon. Even during the war between the two continents in the God-Devil Rift Valley, the Wentian Sword was not available Born.
The disciples only knew that there was one supreme elder in the divine sect, and they all guessed that the elder was a certain previous palace master or Dharma king.
This is the ultimate killing weapon of the divine religion. Only when faced with life and death, the Wentian Sword will be born.
The two old men chatted and looked up at Yun Miao's sky.
Looking through the high sky, in the misty clouds close to the sky, the space seems to be a little distorted. Against the backdrop of countless stars, there seems to be sharp things in the realm there. The meaning surges out.
Just as he was talking, there were footsteps coming from outside the hall.
"Dragon King Dragon Tiger is here, and I just want to ask him what he thinks." Jackdaw's companion spirit eyes flashed with a hint of gloom, and he asked coldly.
"Senior, the matter has not yet been investigated clearly. Even if Shenzhao Island really has two intentions, Dharma King Longhu is definitely not involved. I have watched this junior brother step by step until now. His heart is The divine religion is no longer a secular person." Chen Baishan shook his head.
"Haha, who knows?" The jackdaw's feathers trembled.
Dragon Tiger Dharma King stepped on the clouds and soared into the sky carrying the gilded light.
He bowed his hands to the two old men and said in a sonorous voice: "Senior Jackdaw, Senior Brother!"
"Junior Brother Chu, please sit down." Chen Baishan said with a smile on his face and his hand.
Dragon King Longhu glanced at Chen Baishan from the corner of his eye. Although the latter had deliberately concealed it, Dharma King Longhu still noticed that the master's magic power seemed to be weaker than before. The bishop's Although the rumors are greatly exaggerated, they are also correct. Chen Baishan's longevity is indeed passing.
"Junior Brother Longhu, why are you so free today that you come to me?" Chen Baishan said with a smile.
Longhu Dharma King frowned slightly and said bluntly: "Junior brother, I have something to ask the master for advice. The ancestral artifacts on Shenzhao Island are reflected, and the secret treasure left by my Chu family's ancestor when he passed away seems to have been revealed. Chu Yanjun returned to his clan to collect the opportunity of creation, and there is no owner of Shenzhao Island. Junior Brother wants to stay there for a while. "
Hearing this, Jackdaw's companion's eyes narrowed, and there was a glimmer of light.
The cup of spiritual tea that Chen Baishan raised was also hanging in the air, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
Seeing the expressions of the two of them, His Holiness Longhu thought for a few breaths, and then asked: "Brother, Master, is there anything wrong?"
Chen Baishan paused for a few breaths. , drank the cup of spiritual tea in one gulp, and said with a calm smile: "Although junior brother is ranked as the Dharma King and has a special status, he is also from Shenzhao Island. We monks cannot forget their ancestors. The eternal foundation is hard-won, but we must not let anyone ruin it. . ”
Dharma King Longhu thought about the meaning of these words for a long time, but he didn’t hear the underlying meaning and left confused.
After he left, Jackdaw's companion spirit eyes gave out a sharp aura, and said solemnly: "Chen Baishan, what are you going to do with Shenzhao Island?"
"If it is true, someone will take care of it." Chen Baishan fluttered his sleeves and calmly raised his eyes to look at the sky: "I teach that the eternal foundation cannot be destroyed in the hands of my own people."
