Chapter 42: Changes in Rules (Please Read Later)
The Zihong Sect ranks third among the three sects, but its strength is several times stronger than the Wanxiang Sect. Although its sect leader is not the strongest monk in the sect, he is also a famous swordsman in the late Jindan period.
Why did he die in Qingzhou?
The Jindan elders were horrified and confused at the same time, and one of them asked.
"Master Li Feng, what on earth is going on?"
Li Jiran said with a low gaze: "I went to the Sanmen Station with the sect master to discuss this year's harvest. As a result, I unexpectedly received a letter from the lurking disciple in Qingzhou. The letter said that Emperor Cang Hongxuan of the Cang Kingdom was about to break through the divine transformation stage in retreat, and he was exploring. Understand the retreat location.”
"You also know that our Wuzhou and Qingzhou Huashen Venerables are only one hand in number. If Cang Hongxuan is allowed to break through, it will definitely break the current balance and even launch a centuries-old war to annex us."
"One more Lord Transformation God would have a great impact on the battle situation, so after some discussion, we took the initiative to attack and entered the capital of Cang Kingdom."
"At first, everything went smoothly under the leadership of the Seven Star Sect's Divine Transformation Venerable, and they broke through the capital defense formation. However, Cang Kingdom's preparations were also very good, and they dragged their Divine Transformation Venerable to support them, and finally fought a battle. A bloody battle."
"It was during this bloody battle that the Seven Star Sect's Divine Transformation Master was injured and the Purple Rainbow Sect's master fell."
Li Jiran sighed and continued: "But we also have a huge gain, which has interrupted the key to Cang Guo Emperor Cang Hongxuan's breakthrough. Now Cang Guo is afraid that there will be chaos for a while, and there will be no time to harass Wuzhou in the short term. ”
"But this is only a temporary move. When Cang Hongxuan prepares for a second breakthrough, we may not be able to stop it. Changes in the two states are imminent, so I hurried back to the sect to discuss something with everyone."
Many elders could not digest this huge information for a while, and they all opened their mouths and started talking.
"Three sects and three venerables, even if one of them is injured, it's a big deal."
"This interruption of Cang Hongxuan's breakthrough also aroused the anger of Cang Kingdom's cultivators. The peace that has lasted for hundreds of years may be about to end."
"Where will I, the Wanxiang Sect go?"
Only the four peak masters frowned and made a judgment about the subsequent situation.
Xiang Fu from Jade Cauldron Peak sat maturely on the main seat, touched his beard, and said, "Fellow Daoist Li, you must have a plan, right?"
After the words fell, everyone stopped and looked at Li Jiran.
Li Jiran looked around and said, "We can't talk about the plan. I just feel that the sect needs to change."
"I, the Wanxiang Sect also had the Divine Transformation Lord sitting in charge a thousand years ago. Now it has been in decline for hundreds of years. No one who comes after can break through. In addition to the limitations of talent, there are also resources!"
"I want to change the rules of the sect, select outstanding monks by cultivating gu, and increase the power of the middle-level sect in the next hundred years. In addition, the immortal cultivating families in our territory should also take action. , collect resources for us, and hand over spiritual stones every year. Those who are disobedient should be destroyed, instead of letting them become pests growing in Wanxiang Sect!"
"This is my plan, please take a look."
Li Jiran threw out a letter, and everyone read it with a flash of consciousness. Their expressions changed drastically. Among them, Mo Pengcheng, the master of the Beast Control Peak, stood up directly and shouted: "No!"
"With such cruelty and such a practice, what's the difference between the Wanxiang Sect and the Demon Sect?!"
Li Jiran snorted coldly. Among the peak masters present, the one he disliked the most was Yushou Peak, who had a good-natured yet ungrateful character.
"Demon Sect? Thousands of years ago, after the battle between good and evil, what is the difference between good and evil? Which one of you here has not climbed up from the road filled with bones, and which one is really clean and kills only those who deserve to be killed?" man of?"
"Mo Pengcheng, if we don't do this, where will the Wanxiang Sect be placed? How will we survive the coming war? If we don't take these resources, will we give them to others?"
"Or, you just want us to be destroyed along with those small families!"
Mo Pengcheng's face turned pale and he was unable to refute.
Especially since his realm was weaker than that of Li Jiran, the sharp aura of the other party struck him like a sword, making him unable to speak.
Next to him, Xiang Fu from Jade Cauldron Peak knocked on the table and said, "Okay, the enemy is ahead, how can we get into chaos internally?"
"Have the sect masters agreed to this?"
Xiang Fu turned to Li Jiran, his eyes were deep, and he spoke calmly.
Li Jiran was not afraid at all and said: "Not only did the sect master agree, but my ancestor also agreed. I believe Ba Daofeng will not object, right?"
The ancestor he was talking about was naturally the Purple Mansion True Lord of Yujian Peak. The three Purple Mansion True Lords of the Wanxiang Sect were the strongest in cultivation for each other. They were already at the peak of the Purple Mansion, and their sword intent was so powerful that even Master Huashen could use it. fear.
The only complicated thing is that the ancestor of Zifu is too old. Zifu has a lifespan of three thousand. He has watched Wanxiang Sect go from glory to decline but is unable to change it. Now his lifespan is coming to an end and he has been in a state of seclusion to save his life.
As for the other two ancestors of Zifu, the one from Ba Daofeng is younger, but his level is lower than that of Yuding Peak. However, at the second level of Zifu, his strength is shallow and not as good as the old true masters from other sects.
The Golden Core Peak Master of Ba Dao Peak closed his eyes and said, "Since the ancestor of Jian Peak has agreed, then our ancestors will naturally agree as well. What about you? Let's express our stance."
"The two True Lords of Zifu have agreed. How can we elders object? Moreover, this is also beneficial to our Wanxiang Sect!"
"That's right, those mortals and cultivating families will die when they die. They will never die anyway. How can we die with them!"
"What did Mr. Xiang say?"
Mu Chengping followed the gazes of the crowd and saw that Xiang Fu, who was sitting in the main seat, thought for a moment and said, "Okay."
Everyone was delighted, and then heard him speak again.
"However, I think it's not difficult to take too big a step, otherwise it will cause trouble. Let the Xiuxian family be in charge of the Magic Peak and the Beast Taming Peak, and focus on appeasement."
"As for the internal part of the sect, it can be changed from the selection. I remember that this year's selection of menials is about to begin, so why not start from here."
Li Jiran frowned.
According to his idea, he wanted to cut the Gordian knot and get it done in one step.
But considering the attitude of the Purple Mansion True Lord of Yuding Peak and other peak masters, he finally compromised.
"Then let's do it this way. The menial disciples are not considered as disciples of our Wanxiang Sect anyway. We will not feel bad if they die if we start raising Gu from them."
"If there is a ruthless person, even if his spiritual root talent is not good, he is worth cultivating."
Spiritual roots are crucial for ordinary people, and determine whether they can embark on the path of cultivating immortals.
But for Jindan and Zifu cultivators, they value the heart of Tao more.
No matter how strong and good the spiritual roots are, if the heart of Tao is not good, the future is still limited.
"Good."
"Then let's start with the selection of menial disciples."
Many Jindan elders laughed.
