Alchemy Dao Immortal

Chapter 582: The Secret of the Previous Life and the Shocking Whirlpool
The main hall stands tall, vast and deep, with golden tiles on the ridge. On the doorposts are engraved the image of a auspicious beast, shaped like a unicorn, holding a precious book in its mouth. Spiritual words fly out from the open pages, splashing and colliding with each other, with a mysterious sound of its own, suppressing the four directions and driving away evil.

At this hour, the sun was rising in the east, the sky was just right, and red air was continuously coming from afar, wisps of it, gathering more and more. Finally, it turned into a treasure wheel, gleaming with colorful light, and continuously flew into the hall, like a blazing flame, bright and brilliant.

Two maids stood on the steps with their hands down, wearing maid buns and colorful skirts. They were neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin, with impeccable smiles on their pretty faces, and they were well-behaved. Seeing Zhou Ziang and Zhou Shuzhen coming over, one of the maids stepped forward, asked about their origins, and immediately said, "Please come in."

Zhou Ziang and Zhou Shuzhen nodded, and arrived at the main hall. There were jade tables on both sides, some of which were already occupied. They wore silver crowns to tie their hair, their faces were straight, their faces were pale, and above their heads, the red evil spirit was rising, like a piece of frost, wind and clouds, and at first glance, they felt a cold color rushing over them.

Seeing the two people coming, the young man with the silver crown opened his eyes, looked at them, and said nothing. He just gestured for them to take a seat quickly.

"Zhou Qingyuan."

Zhou Ziang and Zhou Shuzhen saw this and recognized him. He was the best one in the Hengnan Zhou family in Zhenyi Sect. He was now at the Dan-transforming stage and making steady progress. He even held a position in the sect. They hadn't seen each other for a while. When they met again, he looked even more imposing than before.

The two of them sat down in silence, then waited quietly.

As time went by, more and more people entered the hall. They were all descendants of the Hengnan Zhou family. They were young and had a sharp spirit.

Half an hour later, the hall finally became quiet. No one came in anymore. Only the smoke coming out of the bronze tripod on the central platform became more and more, spreading in the air like nine startling rainbows, high above.

The descendants of the Hengnan Zhou family in the hall were surrounded by smoke and felt themselves getting colder and colder. A deep chill spread and continued to expand.

At this moment, there was a loud noise. On the high platform in the center of the hall, countless cold air fell like beads and turned into a canopy. A figure was sitting underneath. He had a handsome face and looked very young. Although he was not very old, he had a powerful aura that filled the entire hall.

Everyone looked towards the platform, and for an instant, they felt an inexplicable chill, as if they were at the bottom of an unfathomable abyss. All light, all sound, and all perception would sink to the depths, frozen in place, and unable to move if they approached.

That kind of power is unprecedented and unheard of.

The man seemed to sense that the magnetic field on his body affected everyone in the hall. His eyes moved and he restrained his strength. Only his clear eyes looked down, like thunder, containing great power and supreme majesty.

The descendants of the Hengnan Zhou family in the hall immediately knew the identity of the visitor. They all stood up, bowed their heads, and said loudly, "Greetings, Master."

Everyone had excitement on their faces at this moment, because after they practiced in Zhenyi Sect and witnessed the thousands of years of heritage of Shangxuan Sect, they understood what kind of genius it took to become the chief of the ten great disciples.

What's more, the person in front of him is not only the chief of the top ten disciples, but also broke the record of the youngest chief of the top ten disciples. Just by hearing him, a sense of legend comes to one's mind, making people feel the joy of witnessing it.

After the children of the Hengnan Zhou family came to the Zhenyi Sect, as outsiders, they often felt pressure from the people around them, both overt and covert, and regarded Zhou Qing, who had brought them here, as their leader. Compared with ordinary Zhenyi Sect disciples, their feelings for Zhou Qing were more sincere and deeper.

Zhou Qing sat upright on the high platform, sensing the emotions of the Hengnan Zhou family members in the hall. He was at a high level and had a strong spiritual awareness. Any fluctuations were clearly visible in his mirror-like spiritual awareness. He nodded secretly.

After he established himself in Luochuan Zhou family and Zhenyi Sect, he began to recruit disciples from Hengnan Zhou family to Zhenyi Sect through various means.

On the one hand, through his memories from his previous life, he knew that the Hengnan Zhou clan was a battleground, so he made early plans. On the other hand, after the children of the Hengnan Zhou clan came to the Zhenyi Sect, they had to get close to him, whether actively or passively. In many cases, they were even more trustworthy than the members of the Luochuan Zhou clan.

After they came, he was also very interested in guiding and training them, and even had the most outstanding ones taken to Phoenix Mountain to witness the competition among the top ten disciples in the sect to broaden their horizons.

Now it seems that hard work pays off, and the descendants of the Hengnan Zhou family have not only made great progress compared to when they first arrived, but also have a strong sense of belonging to the Zhenyi Sect.

His eyes swept over the faces of the Hengnan Zhou family disciples whom he had specially selected. Zhou Qing remained expressionless and took the time to give some pointers on their cultivation.

With his current level of cultivation and vision, he could easily answer the difficult questions about cultivation raised by everyone, and every word he said could make everyone in the hall suddenly enlightened.

When it was almost done, Zhou Qing got down to business and began to assign tasks to the outstanding Hengnan Zhou family members in the hall. In the hall, his clear voice rang out, and the law was kept within the hall, and it was not passed on to anyone else.

After an unknown amount of time, the door of the hall was reopened. The majestic and powerful aura of a Nascent Soul cultivator belonging to Zhou Qing had long disappeared. One by one, the descendants of the Hengnan Zhou family came out from inside, greeted everyone, and went down the mountain.

Zhou Qingyuan returned to his cave on Taihe Island and sat alone in front of the window, motionless.

Before he knew it, it was already getting dark. A bright moon rose quietly outside. Since there was nothing around, it looked even bigger and brighter, as if it was hanging by the window, within reach. A layer of fine cold light shone on him, like the sound of sparse water, making his face appear and disappear in the light and shadow.

He waited until he heard the sound of jade rings colliding gently before he raised his eyelids. In his mind, he saw a heroic woman in a red dress. She was carrying a magic sword, and the long tassel of the sword was fluttering in the wind. She looked very sharp, as if she could be cut at any time. She asked directly, "When are you leaving?"

The woman who came did not go in, but just stood in front of the window. She raised her head slightly, and her bright eyes seemed to be filled with endless ambitions in their coldness, ready to burn at any time. She said, "Once you are ready, we will set off."

There was no hesitation in her tone, only a resolute decision.

After coming to the Zhenyi Sect, she finally got a glimpse of the true path of cultivation, and she had to grasp it no matter what. For this, she was willing to do anything for it.

Zhou Qingyuan glanced at the other person. Although this fellow tribesman was a woman, she was definitely as capable as any man. He admired her strong will and hard work in practicing Taoism.

The other party has already condensed a middle-grade golden elixir and is working in the Merit Academy of the sect. He has been working diligently, hoping to accumulate merits, exchange them for resources, and make further progress. However, the competition in the sect has always been fierce, and opportunities are hard to find.

Now Master Zhou's arrangement is what she wants, and she will definitely go all out to make a great contribution.

Although he is not as ambitious as the other party, he will also carry out Master Zhou's arrangements.

In recent years, Zhenyi Sect has indeed developed towards that area, attempting to make a breakthrough. At the same time, the competition among the major sects, led by Doumu Palace and Taibai Sword Sect, has also intensified. Instead of allowing many cultivation families to wander around and be in a loose state as in the past, they are integrating and strengthening their control. Hengnan Zhou family is in the middle of the situation and has already felt the pressure.

The area where the family is located will certainly be turbulent in the future. The various sects of Xuanmen will probably show their fangs and integrate. It is almost impossible for the Hengnan Zhou family to remain independent and get along with everyone as in the past. They must take sides. Since they have to take sides, the Xuanmen Zhenyi Sect is a good choice.

Other things aside, in the Zhenyi Sect, Master Zhou has always remembered the affection he had for the Hengnan Zhou family when he grew up, and has taken good care of the Hengnan Zhou family's children. With Master Zhou's progressive attitude, there will be hope for the cave heaven in the future, and he can naturally protect the Hengnan Zhou family. In comparison, the Shangxuan Sect Doumu Palace and Taibai Sword Sect, as well as the Zhongxuan Sect Laojun Temple in that area, do not have such conditions.

From ancient times to the present, there are both benefits and risks for a practicing family to join the Xuanmen.

If everything goes smoothly, the cultivation family can use the larger platform of Xuanmen to continue to branch out, expand rapidly, and steadily move to the next level.

As for the risks, the internal complexity of the giant forces is not easy to gain a foothold. If you are not careful, you may even be abandoned. Looking through the thick history of Shangxuanmen, many cultivation families joined and collapsed within a few years. The entire family was completely merged into the sect, and the original inheritance disappeared.

"that's it."

Zhou Qingyuan took a deep breath secretly. No matter what, when he returned to the clan, he would explain the pros and cons to the elders of his branch and let them make the right choice.

In this way, the Hengnan Zhou family, led by Zhou Qingyuan and Zhou Zhensu, took action quietly. Some wrote letters to the elders of the clan, and some set out directly to return. Anyway, they all showed their magical powers.

After reading the summarized information and confirming that the outstanding descendants of the Hengnan Zhou family whom he had selected had taken action, Zhou Qing put it aside and returned to the Changling Miaozhen Yudao Cave Heaven, continuing to practice with the help of the Cave Heaven Seal, striving to condense the Nascent Soul Dharma Body as soon as possible.

Zhenyi Sect wanted to use the Hengnan Zhou Clan as a starting point. Entering that area was indeed a big deal, but no one knew about the bigger thing now, but he remembered it in his previous life, that is, the Zhongxuan Sect Laojun Temple was going to attack the Shangxuan Sect. Its influence was so great that it not only affected that area, but also involved many top forces. It was really turbulent, with countless changes and countless opportunities.

It's just that the bigger the scene, the more opportunities, the more powerful the chances, the stronger the strength of the people who enter the game must be to protect themselves. Otherwise, if you are not strong enough and force your way in, you will easily get into trouble.

You have to take one step at a time, steadily and steadily, and raise your realm first.

As long as his realm is improved and he has enough strength, he can first cooperate with the expansion of the sect and gain a foothold in the Hengnan Zhou family. Then, he can go further and use his foresight to seize opportunities in the earth-shaking events that will happen in the future.

In the Changling Miaozhen Yudao Cave Heaven, under the jade platform, there are six voids, and waterfalls like rainbows pass through them. The surging sound can be heard from far and near.

Cai Hanmo sat upright on the lotus throne. On the top of his head was a colorful image of a Nascent Soul, surrounded by circles of light. Countless seal characters appeared and disappeared in it, as if the stars in the sky were gathered together.

He once again sensed a scrutinizing divine consciousness descending from a high place in the dark, observing the mountains and water in the cave, the growth of the lush trees in the cave, and the liveliness of the spirit deer running around in the cave. This divine consciousness became stronger, more detailed, more dense, and more calm.

In an instant, Cai Hanmo's face became so gloomy that water almost dripped out of it.

"How come it's so fast?"

This newly promoted Nascent Soul Stage III cultivator still couldn't believe it. Even though Zhou Qing was granted authority by Master Guan De to hold the seal of the Cave Heaven, he was only a Nascent Soul Stage II cultivator and "unworthy of his position". His comprehending the wonders of the Cave Heaven should be full of ups and downs and intermittent. How could it be so smooth and he became stronger and stronger?
At this rate, Zhou Qing's progress in comprehending the wonders of the cave heaven might be beyond everyone's imagination. If he is not stopped, the Changling Miaozhen Yudao Cave Heaven will really fall into his control.

"I can't move anymore."

Cai Hanmo clenched the jade ruyi in his hand and made a seal with the Dharma image on the top of his head. In an instant, streams of light flew out and turned into flying messages to notify the people he had gathered.

Originally, he thought that he would gather more people before launching the attack, which would be more effective. But now there is no other way. The arrow has been on the string and must be shot. This is the only way.

Although not all preparations have been completed, a force that cannot be ignored has been gathered now. After all, the Changling Miaozhen Yudao Cave Heaven is the cave heaven of the Cai family in Yuanzhong, and no member of the Cai family would be willing to hand it over to outsiders.

Deep in the cave, Master Guande sat quietly on a golden river. The rippling water was cold, reflecting many scenes in the cave, but they were blurry and not very clear.

With his cave heaven realm, this would not happen. However, after suffering the calamity, he consciously gathered his power into his precious body, hoping to maintain his basic vitality as much as possible.

But even so, what happened in the cave could not be hidden from the perception of him, the master of the cave.

Cai Jiuyuan sat below, his eyes flickering, deep in thought.

There is no doubt that some of the people involved in such a movement were instigated by other forces. Ever since Master Guande suffered a calamity and stopped caring about the affairs of the clan and the sect, the Yuanzhong Cai family and the Changling Miaozhen Yudao Dongtian lost their backbone, and many interested forces in the sect have tried to infiltrate them in various ways.

As for why they dare to jump out and make trouble openly now, there is an explanation for that.

Suddenly, Master Guande smiled, looking calm and composed, and said, "They also have someone to rely on. They think that I will not live long after I am injured."
