The Xu family follows Taoism and seeks longevity

Even as the Xu family continued to develop rapidly, Xu Zhiyu, who was hundreds of millions of miles away, was not idle either.

As of now, he has spent a full nineteen years in the secret cultivation realm of Taiyang Tower. If calculated according to outside time, it would be a full one hundred and ninety years.

At this moment, he was sitting cross-legged in a thatched house in the secret realm. He slowly opened his eyes, and the operation of the technique stopped.

Suddenly, the tight spiritual energy that had enveloped him like a heavy fog dispersed in an instant, revealing his true appearance.

"Since my cultivation reached the ninth level of the Purple Mansion, I haven't improved for several years. It seems that this will be the case in a short time. I can't waste time now. It's time to improve my talisman-making skills.

Although I had studied drawing for a period of time while practicing, I didn't put in the effort to study it properly. As a result, my level of talisman making is still at the third level of mid-level. "

After paying attention, Xu Zhiyu took out the third-level high-grade talisman pen and other talisman-making tools from the storage ring, then took out the jade slip containing the fifth-level talisman-making inheritance, and began to study seriously.

As for the beautiful scenery outside the thatched house, it didn't attract him at all.

When he first entered here, he would run out after practicing, thinking that he could explore the place, and he was shocked by the various strange scenery here.

But after three or four years of this, that is, thirty or forty years outside, he completely lost interest.

Just because the place here is not big, with a radius of more than ten miles, he has explored all the places that should be explored. After going there too many times, he will naturally find it boring.

Originally, he thought he could meet the other two Taiyang Tower monks who had obtained cultivation places here, but it turned out that he had overthought it. He was the only one here, and the other two seemed not to be here.

This was also specially arranged by Taiyang Tower. In fact, the three people who entered the secret realm stayed in the same place to practice before. There were three thatched houses like the one he lives in now.

But something happened later, and the Master Huashen of Taiyang Tower had to let the monks who entered it practice separately.

It turns out that such an incident happened more than 10,000 years ago.

They were a pair of monks who had joined Taiyang Tower since childhood. They had known each other since childhood. One of them was better than the other. No matter what he did, he always had the upper hand over the other.

Over time, this resentment slowly turned into hatred in my heart, but it just didn't show out.

In the end, through unremitting efforts, the two of them actually got the opportunity to enter the accelerated secret realm to practice.

Originally, this was something worth celebrating, because in the history of Taiyang Tower, it had never happened before that two people who knew each other were selected to enter the secret realm of cultivation together.

But what people didn't expect was that the person who had been suppressed during the practice in the secret realm originally planned to close the distance between the two after entering the secret realm.

But what he didn't expect was that not only was the gap not small, but it was getting wider and wider, and it was a gap in all aspects.

He discovered that the monk who had been suppressing him, after quickly breaking through to the ninth level of the Purple Mansion, actually took advantage of this free time to start studying alchemy.

You must know that alchemy is his specialty. He thought that the other party would not achieve much success in alchemy without the guidance of a famous teacher.

But what he didn't expect was that the person who had been suppressing him was also very talented in alchemy. It only took a few decades for the outside world to catch up with him in alchemy, and there was a huge improvement. Transcendence trends.

Under such various factors, the inner demons lurking in his heart completely broke out, and jealousy defeated his reason.

Finally, when the man was refining a furnace of elixirs, he attacked him secretly, causing the furnace to be destroyed and everyone killed.

It happened that this incident alerted another monk who came in with the two of them. After leaving the secret realm, that man was sentenced to death by the top management of Taiyang Tower for killing his fellow monks. This was also an explanation for the dead genius.

In order to prevent this kind of tragedy from happening again, several gods in Taiyang Tower discussed and set up a barrier. The monks who entered the secret realm could only stay in their own one-third of an acre and never meet other people. .

And in the more than ten years that Xu Zhiyu has been cultivating in the secret realm, the entire Xu family has also undergone considerable changes.

In the third year after he entered the secret realm, the entire An family joined the Xu family and became a subsidiary family of the Xu family. Except for the clan mountain, all the territory was acquired by the Xu family.

However, the Xu family did not treat Anjia badly. Not only did they subsidize ten foundation-building talismans at one time, they also gave them twenty shops in Taoyuanfang City.

At the same time, in order to strengthen the relationship between the two families, Xu Zhikai and Xu Jiye of the Xu family completed marriages with the granddaughter and great-granddaughter of the An family ancestor respectively.

From then on, the Xu family's territory expanded again, becoming the Zifu family with the largest territory in Jincheng Mansion. This also made several nearby Zifu forces fearful and uneasy. They also quietly connected in private, plotting how to contain the Xu family.

However, after hearing the news that Xu Zhiyu of the Xu family and a true disciple of the Lingxiao Sect had become Taoist couples, this alliance broke up.

And from this year onwards, the monks from Zuzhou who were looking for treasures on the edge of the Hengduan Mountains became even more crazy. They often started to massacre local monsters as soon as they arrived at a certain place, and then used the power of the sacrificed flesh and blood to , to help them determine the whereabouts of the treasure.

This also caused dissatisfaction among the high-level demon beasts deep in the Hengduan Mountains. First, the demon king appeared to investigate the situation, and then the great demon king took action to teach the human monks from the ancestral continent.

Of course, the higher-ups of the monster beasts knew what Zuzhou meant, so they repeatedly tolerated it at the beginning. Besides, they didn't feel bad about sacrificing those low-level monster beasts. Anyway, countless monster beasts died every day because of killing each other.

Unexpectedly, this move of the monster made the human monks become even more crazy. They began to move towards the core area of ​​​​the Hengduan Mountains. In name, they were searching for treasures, but their real purpose aroused the suspicion of the Demon King deep in the mountains. The Hengduan Mountains stretch for millions of miles, and are divided into four regions within the demon beast. Each region is led by a demon king.

After realizing that something was wrong, the four demon kings got together to discuss the matter. Although their relationship was not always good, at a critical moment, they could still put aside their past grievances and speak out unanimously.

After deliberation, they suspected that the so-called search for treasures might be an excuse fabricated by human monks. The real purpose should be to prepare to occupy the Hengduan Mountains on which they depended for survival.

As soon as they came to this conclusion, they were horrified, and they hurriedly reported this conjecture to the monster base camp in Fenglin Continent. Yes, the human race had a backer, but they didn't.

Soon, news came from the monster base camp, asking them to pay close attention to the movements of the human race. It also said that a sufficient number of sixth-order high-grade demon kings had been sent to Zuzhou to negotiate in person.

However, this negotiation went nowhere. The monks from Zuzhou were still massacring the tribes and ethnic groups under the demon emperor. In the end, the Earth Dragon Emperor, who had the highest cultivation level among the four demon emperors and the most explosive temper, went crazy.

It directly killed two Nascent Soul monks who were causing trouble on its territory. It didn't even get rid of its anger. It didn't even let go of their Nascent Souls and swallowed them directly.

This caused trouble. It turned out that these two monks were from a super power ranked among the top ten in the ancestral continent, called Shendao Sect.

Speaking of this Shinto sect, it’s amazing. It turned out that hundreds of thousands of years ago, their ranking in the ancestral continent was once ranked in the top three. Later, due to various reasons, their strength gradually weakened, and their ranking fell all the way. Coming to tenth.

However, their background is still not shallow. There are still more than ten ancestors of the God Transformation in the sect. The ones with the highest cultivation level have reached the late stage of the God Transformation. Except for the top three forces in the ancestral continent, no other force is willing to do so. Provoke them.

When they learned that the monks they sent to search for the treasure were killed by the Earth Dragon Emperor and that even the Nascent Soul did not escape, the senior officials of the Shinto Sect were completely furious and specially dispatched two ancestors of the Transformation Gods to lead nearly a hundred people. The Nascent Soul cultivator rushed straight towards Xuanzhou and across the mountains.

At this moment, the sixth-level high-grade Demon Emperor from the Demon Clan's base camp has just finished negotiating with the three largest forces in Zuzhou and is preparing to return to Fenglin Continent.

After hearing the movements of the Shinto Sect, he immediately rushed ahead of them, teleported to the Hengduan Mountains in advance through the technique of tearing space, and reported the matter to the Monster Clan's headquarters.

In the eighth year of Xu Zhiyu's seclusion, the two sides encountered each other on the territory of the Earth Dragon Emperor. If it weren't for the shock of the sixth-level high-grade Demon Emperor of the Demon Clan, the Earth Dragon Emperor would have shed his skin even if he was not dead, because the monks sent by the Shinto Sect They are all in the middle stage of divine transformation. They are only in the sixth-level low-level realm. They will definitely suffer losses in a fight, let alone one-on-two.

In the end, the monks of the Shinto Sect proposed that the Earth Dragon Emperor must make compensation. The compensation plan they proposed was to allow their Shinto Sect to launch a comprehensive search on the Earth Dragon Emperor's territory, and to ensure that they would not target low-level monsters in the territory. The beast causes damage.

It turns out that the Shinto Sect has a special pseudo-seventh-level magic weapon that can be used to find treasures. It was passed down from its glorious days. This matter is not known to outsiders.

The successive gods of the Shinto Sect have always thought about restoring the glory of their ancestors, and have been studying the use of this treasure. Finally, they found that this treasure is very sensitive to high-level spiritual objects.

Therefore, according to this characteristic, the entire sect used the strength to refine a number of fifth- and sixth-order induction magic weapons respectively, forming a relationship with the pseudo-seventh-level magic weapons similar to that of a mother-child magic weapon.

Then he sent various god-transforming monks and Yuanying monks to take these magic weapons and wander around the world of immortal cultivation in the ten continents, hoping to find a kind of heaven-defying spiritual object that would allow the Shendao Sect to return to its peak.

The two Nascent Soul monks who were eaten by the Earth Dragon Emperor this time had imitation fifth-level magic weapons on their bodies. The reason why they wanted to take the risk of causing trouble on the Earth Dragon Emperor's territory was because they discovered that they had never The moving magic weapon actually reacted.

The two greedy people secretly reported the matter to the senior leaders of the sect. They couldn't wait for their next instructions, so they started to act in private, hoping to follow the instructions to find the treasure.

But I didn't expect that their actions were too high-profile, which finally caused the Tulong Emperor to become furious and take action, and then he hated the northwest.

The reason why the Shinto Sect sent so many people this time and then proposed to search the Tulong Emperor's territory was precisely because they received reports from the two people and also verified the news from the pseudo-seventh-level magic weapon, so they arrived in a hurry. here.

However, this suggestion was finally rejected by the Earth Dragon Emperor, because behind it stood the True Dragon Clan, the overlord of the sea. In terms of true combat power, the True Dragon Clan was no worse than the top three superpowers in Zuzhou.

Seeing that their proposal was rejected, the two Shinto Sect Transformation Gods who came here with their men were in trouble, and then reported the situation here to the headquarters, and then the most powerful monks in the late Transformation Soul Transformation Period in the sect were dispatched.

Their top management has already discussed that even if they completely turn against the True Dragon Clan, they will definitely get the treasure this time.

So in addition to dispatching their own late-stage God-Transformation Ancestors, they didn't know what price they offered. They actually invited the fifth and seventh-ranked superpowers in Zuzhou to send out two late-stage God-Transformation monks. Come and cheer.

The Hengduan Mountains are now completely bustling. In order to ensure the safety of their disciples, those Nascent Soul forces close to the Hengduan Mountains have strictly ordered their disciples not to approach the Hengduan Mountains.

Naturally, the Xu family also received a notice from the Lingxiao Sect, and by coincidence, the Xu family's territory was adjacent to the area ruled by the Tulong Emperor.

Seeing that the other party had called for help, the Earth Dragon Emperor was not idle, and directly sent a letter for help to the Dragon Clan in the vast sea. After receiving the letter, five sixth-level true dragons immediately crossed the vast sea and arrived. They have never set foot on the Xuanzhou Continent.

The two sides have led their respective helpers and have been confronting each other for more than ten years, and the war is about to break out.

Seeing that the situation is getting worse and worse, and if it continues like this, it may turn into a war between the human and demon races. The top three superpowers on the ancestral continent finally took action. They sent three monks with sufficient weight to fight against the real dragon clan and the demon race. The sixth-level high-grade Demon King at the clan’s headquarters conducted another consultation and negotiation.

It was at this time that Xu Zhiyu's twenty-year retreat finally came to an end.

"Huh, luckily I caught up. After drawing this talisman, I have finally mastered three types of third-level high-grade talismans. I can be regarded as a serious third-level high-grade talisman maker.

And the most important thing is that after ten years of drawing the talisman, the energy accumulated in the talisman has reached a very terrifying level. It is estimated that even if the fake baby talisman is charged, it can be used dozens of times. "

Looking at the shimmering talisman seal on the talisman table in front of him, Xu Zhiyu sighed, put it in his pocket, and then walked out of the thatched house. He planned to take a good look at this place before leaving. After all, he had stayed for a long time. In two hundred years, it is natural to be attached. (End of chapter)
