Begin immortality by slaying demons.

Chapter 574: Did Qinghua become an immortal?

The immortal chariot of the Seven Sons of Nanhong was like a bright sun, hanging between heaven and earth, and below them were the treasured lands of the seven sects.

Many monks rose out from the clouds and cast their eyes towards the figures that were vaguely visible in the rosy glow.

The clan leaders gathered and went to the Dragon Palace for a banquet.

It was only midnight and they returned at the first light of dawn. It seemed a little different from the Hongmen Banquet they had imagined, but the slightly changing sky in Nanhong last night and the sudden turbulence of the breath of heaven and earth all announced that a giant had fallen.

The auras of the seven clan leaders were strong, and they were completely unharmed. The fallen creature... was most likely a noble being in the Dragon Palace.

But at this moment, the entire South Flood Area was eerily quiet.

They don't even dare to stand up and make noise!
When this thought flashed through their minds, the monks swallowed their saliva and suddenly felt an indescribable excitement rising from their hearts. Although they bowed down to salute under the immortal chariot, they inexplicably felt their backs straightened a lot.

Seven sons come out of the mountains to attack Nanhong!
"We are waiting to welcome the master back to the sect—"

The neat and long sound passed through the mountains and rushed into the sky, as if to clear away the thick fog and make the shining Nanyang even brighter.

"These youngsters are quite happy."

Sect Master Lingyun shook his head and expressed his approval of Shen Yi's previous response.

As a cultivator, he knew that the road ahead would be full of accidents. Moreover, even a dragon from the Heavenly Realm died in the West Dragon Palace. The turbulence of the situation was obvious.

Maybe I was really too cowardly.

If you want to protect the lives of the seven sects by living in a remote corner, it depends on whether others will give you this opportunity.

Although Sect Leader Shen's move seemed risky, he actually put the initiative in his own hands.

It is time for me to recall the courage that I have lost and the courage to risk my life.

"..."

Ye Jiu fell into silence, which was rare, but no one paid any attention to him. Anyone who knew the leader of the Tianjian Sect knew that he was definitely not worried about the future of his seventh son.

It was simply that he had just exchanged a move with the Southern Dragon King, and his hands were itching to fight, but he was unable to lure the old dragon into a fight to the death.

At this moment, Ye Jiu suddenly raised his head and looked in a certain direction.

A hint of doubt appeared on his face.

At least at this moment, the Seven Sons' Immortal Chariot was the most dazzling thing in the entire Nanhong. However, in the direction where Ye Jiu was looking, a golden light suddenly shot up into the sky, crossing Nanhong at a speed invisible to the naked eye, like a golden curtain, or a giant carpet covering the sky and the sun, extending straight to Xihong.

Looking at its appearance, there is a trend that runs through the entire Hongze.

Under this golden light, the immortal chariot instantly became dim.

Several sect leaders were all staring at the place where the golden light was rising. The originally quiet waters were suddenly surging with waves, faintly revealing the mood of the Southern Dragon King.

Ye Jiu slowly stood up from the throne, and glanced at his fellow disciples. He was a little surprised, and asked as if to confirm: "Virtue leads to immortality?"

Ji Jingxi opened her red lips slightly, while Qi Yansheng had a blank expression.

Even these three Heavenly Realm powerhouses showed such expressions, let alone the other sect leaders.

Only Shen Yi sat on the throne, raising his eyebrows with a strange look on his face: "What does it mean to become an immortal through merit?"

Ji Jingxi exhaled a breath of fresh air, looked at the broad golden light, and murmured: "This guiding golden light leads directly to the Immortal Court."

"Is there such an old thing hiding under our noses?"

Ye Jiu hissed, and before he finished speaking, Qi Yansheng glared at him. This Lingyue Sect Master had never said a word to Ye Jiu before in Dragon Palace, but now he said sternly: "Be more polite when you speak."

How much suffering must this master have endured to be able to make the Immortal Court respond in this way.

How could Nanhong have so much suffering to gather into this supreme golden light of merit? After thinking about it, there are only countless souls left behind by the killing calamity of one hundred thousand years.

These dead souls even include former fellow disciples of the Nanyang Sect.

In other words, this is the benefactor of the Seven Sons.

"..."

Ye Jiu also reacted, suppressed his dissatisfaction, sighed, and meticulously bowed to the place where the golden light rose: "You are magnanimous, please don't mind my bad mouth."

For cultivators, becoming an immortal is more important than becoming an ancestor.

After all these long years of cultivation, it is understandable that one would feel mixed emotions when seeing that someone has accomplished this before him.

"So, Hongze now has two immortals?"

Shen Yi asked again, and everyone noticed that he was still leaning back. Ji Jingxi pursed her lips and pulled him up imperceptibly.

It’s okay if you don’t want to salute, but basic respect is still required.

Seeing this, Ye Jiu opened his mouth and smiled silently. He really liked this young Sect Master Shen. If this future immortal was not the benefactor of the Seventh Son, he would not bother to be polite.

Ever since the fall of Nanyang, all of their fellow disciples have had the idea of ​​killing the immortals with their own hands, but they are too weak and can only think about it.

We are all monks, why bother respecting them?

"That's not the case. In fact, we just heard it from others." Ye Jiu took over the conversation and said with a little emotion: "It is said that after achieving the state of harmony with the Tao, one will be qualified to ascend to the immortal court and receive the immortal salary. In fact, it is just talk."

"Either you really have amazing talent, like you do. If you were not in Hongze, after you achieved Dao, there would be a senior master with great connections who would introduce you to the immortal officials and take you to heaven."

"Or they have a strong background. After all, these seniors with extensive connections also have their own children, nephews and younger generations. They have cultivated them to the required level of cultivation, and they will send them up if possible."

"As for us ordinary people."

At this point, Ye Jiu glanced at Bei Hong angrily and said, "Someone is suppressing me on purpose, so I can only venture into the mortal world and try to make a name for myself, improve my cultivation, and look forward to the opportunity to ascend to the immortal court one day. If I am unlucky, at least I can stay down there and become an old ancestor, and be praised as an earthly immortal."

Ye Jiu pointed at the golden light in the sky and said, "As for this path, it is extremely difficult. They don't practice at all. They are not on the same path as us. They rely on some strange methods to attract the attention of the Immortal Court."

"But he has to follow this golden light and go to the Immortal Court before a specific immortal position can be assigned to him. Right now, he may not be as strong as any of your disciples."

"I can understand where this suffering comes from. Hongze has indeed been unstable for the past 100,000 years. I just wonder how he managed to eliminate all the murderous grudges in just 100,000 years."

Hearing this, Shen Yi looked silently towards the place where the golden light was.

One hundred thousand years? How could it take that long?

When I had to choose between Daoying and Yinshen, it seemed that I had chosen the wrong path.

Qinghua, you deserve to die.

……

"Well?"

A vassal of the Nanyang Sect, in the secret territory behind the Taoyuan Villa.

A huge figure covered in dark gold sat against the mountain, with his dark gold feather cape swaying slightly, looking extremely majestic.

But the next moment, it opened its eyes, and its pupils, which should have been terrifying, were actually filled with a bit of silly confusion.

Madam Qinghua said in panic: "Master, what mistake did Qinghua make? Qinghua will never dare to do it again!"

"fine."

A sigh sounded in her mind.

Shen Yi was silent for a long time, and suddenly realized how others usually felt when they looked at him: "How did you do it?"

He was now really curious about how the other party had attracted the attention of the Immortal Court in such a short period of time.

Hearing this, Qinghua pondered for a moment, becoming even more bewildered: "Didn't the master teach me? The Golden Body Prison-Suppressing Dharma Image..."

Then she told Shen Yi in detail what had happened recently. Shen Yi had kept her in Taoyuan Villa just to let her dispel the souls of those innocent mortals who had died in vain.

For Qinghua, who had digested endless distractions in the precious land of Nanyang, this matter was really simple.

The problem lies in the method that the master and servant were discussing at that time.

That is to say, use the soul of the demon as a prison to forcibly suppress distracting thoughts.

Qinghua used the same method out of habit, and then found something wrong.

After she condensed the wronged souls in Taoyuan Villa into something similar to "demon souls", they began to wander outside on their own initiative and began to digest the souls of those who had died and were buried in the waters of Nanhong and even farther places.

One becomes ten, ten becomes a hundred…things quickly get out of control.

Rather than saying that she was dispelling resentment, it would be more accurate to say that she was raising a Gu. The whole process had nothing to do with her at all. It was simply that those monks who had died once, in the form of resentful souls, were fighting a second life-and-death battle in a place invisible to the naked eye.

Only the winner is qualified to merge into the Prison-Suppressing Golden Body and transform into the purest soul.

The most difficult thing in the world is to turn back time.

Qinghua gave these dead souls a chance to settle their grudges. The winner would take revenge, and the loser... if they lost, even the resentful souls would be gone, and the hatred would naturally be settled.

This is truly a great merit.

Even if others want to take this path, they have to cross the river one soul at a time.

With the help of the strange method of the Prison-Suppressing Golden Body, which had a bit of demonic aura, Hongze's 100,000-year-long killing calamity finally turned into a tonic for one person in a short period of time.

"..."

Shen Yi's silence was deafening.

This should have been his chance.

After all, that method was one of the few times he figured it out on his own.

What a bullshit magic! This is the real way to become an immortal!
Since Mr. Shen created this method, he should have the potential to become an immortal!

"Forget it, you go first."

Shen Yi sighed with regret, some things are missed and they are missed forever. Many times, choice is more important than hard work, even more important than the panel.

Forget it, at least I will have someone above me in the future.

It’s better to be more positive... Damn it, I can’t be positive.

"Owner--"

Qinghua always felt that her master was a little strange today, but the matter was urgent, so she whispered: "Qinghua can't leave, I'm being watched."

The golden light in the sky gradually dimmed. Although this road was already deeply engraved in her mind, the sky that was gradually returning to normal seemed to be announcing something.

Even the famous cultivators from the Four Great Sects were puzzled. Until now, they still could not see the figure of the Immortal of Merit between the curtains of golden light.

"Ok?"

On the immortal chariot, Shen Yi frowned suddenly, and without caring about the presence of several sect leaders beside him, he directly took care of Qinghua's body.

When he opened his eyes again, his vision was already much clearer than that of Taoyuan Villa. He slowly stood up. It had been too long since he had done such an action. Shen Yi was still a little uncomfortable with the perspective of being more than ten feet high, and his body was too weak.

At the moment of entering the golden body.

Shen Yi felt what Qinghua meant by being "targeted".

It was as if a biting frost covered his body, and as if a steel knife was pressed against his lower back. If he took another step, he would be chopped into pieces.

"call."

Shen Yi adjusted his breathing, as if he had guessed something, and looked up at the sky.

The next moment, even with his current knowledge and experience, he couldn't help but tense up all over.

I saw that in the vast sky, the terrifying white rhinoceros had completely awakened, stepping on the land of Sihong, with its broad head lowered, and its huge pupils seemed to be able to accommodate the heaven and earth.

At this moment, the pupil was less than a thousand feet away from Shen Yi.

The only thing in his pupils was this dark golden body that was over ten feet tall.

The white rhinoceros was as silent as a dead thing, without even breathing. It just slowly lowered its head, and it was as if four floods of water poured down on Shen Yi, forcing him to sit back down.

The expression of the Prison-Suppressing Golden Body became more and more indifferent, just like the elegant young man in snow-white clothes inside it. It clenched its teeth, with an unspeakable ferocity in its eyes, but there was nothing it could do.

Meritorious immortal, meritorious immortal, you are a fairy only when you reach the fairyland.

Until then, sit down!
The white rhinoceros did not speak, but Shen Yi inexplicably felt this way in his heart.

He looked straight into the huge eyes, took a long breath, and finally closed his eyes.

After all, he had been a constable in Baiyun County, so it was easy for him to understand such a simple truth.

Hongze is the jurisdiction of that immortal, and it is the fiefdom that the Immortal Court ordered him to guard.

So, in this situation, what does it mean that Nan Hong produced a meritorious immortal who became immortal by eliminating resentment and murderous intent?
Under your supervision, where did all this killing and all this resentment come from? !
It was like a kind-hearted man who opened a stall to distribute porridge in the county magistrate's city, saving countless hungry people and preventing the whole place from starving to death. His good reputation spread far and wide and even reached the imperial court.

This county town was originally a prosperous place.

If the imperial court knew about your good reputation, would they praise you, the county magistrate, for your good management?

For the first time, Shen Yi saw a hint of fear in the eyes of this white rhinoceros. Magical weapons must have no emotions, and this fear must come from the owner behind it.

He was able to achieve such perfect cultivation in the Earth Realm that even a true immortal felt terrified.

It seems like something worth bragging about if you tell others about it.

A rare trace of helplessness flashed across Shen Yi's lips. He recognized the reality that his golden body was imprisoned here. Nothing could be done and struggling was useless.

But even though he was not familiar with the Immortal Court, he didn't believe that the Great Immortal Hongze would dare to take action against an Immortal of Merit who had attracted the attention of those above.

Things turned out exactly as Shen Yi expected.

After seeing the golden statue sitting back down, the white rhinoceros stopped pressing its head down, returned to the sky, and fell into a deep sleep... Even after falling asleep, it still kept one eye open, staring at Taoyuan Villa.

It must be that the immortal has not yet figured out how to treat this future "colleague".

Above the seven sects of Nanhong, in the immortal chariot.

Ye Jiu rubbed his neck and looked away: "Is it that bastard causing trouble again? What is this Meritorious Immortal waiting for? Why doesn't he quickly ascend to heaven before the golden light fades? Is he waiting for the Immortal Court to forget about him? How strange!"

Hongze is not a big place. Even the merits accumulated from 100,000 years of killing are not a big deal for the Immortal Court.

If you want to enjoy a good meal, you must strike while the iron is hot.

The other sect leaders also frowned slowly: "It is a bit strange."

In front of the crowd, Shen Yi's eyes were full of light again. He quietly watched the golden light in the sky completely dissipate, and murmured in a flat voice: "Is it strange?"

“It seems to be a little bit.”

Shen Yi took a deep breath, hiding the waves in his deep eyes.

To steal someone's money is like killing their parents, not to mention destroying their path to immortality. Although they have never met, the hatred is huge.

"Ok?"

Ye Jiu looked over with some confusion. He didn't know why, but Sect Master Shen, who was always calm and composed when he killed people before, now made him hear a hint of cold murderous intent in his voice.
