Beginning to practice immortality as a refugee

Chapter 642 Entering the Forest
Lu Ye first asked him about his experience in this world.

The Thousand-Faced Judge smiled bitterly and told the story. It turned out that he was hit by the sundial mark that day. After the world spun around, he fell into the long river of time and space. In the blink of an eye, the world was transformed and he came to the Middle Ages.

At that time, he fell to the ground with serious injuries and ended up in a human village. He was shocked to find that he had been stranded in the Middle Ages.

At this time, the demons had defeated the monsters and had just ruled the earth for two thousand years.

The demon clan, which was once powerful, is almost extinct on earth. It is said that after the decisive battle that year, the elders of the demon clan led the remaining members of the clan and hid in another world through a space channel to survive.

The scattered demons on the earth are still active, but they have long been powerless and are living in remote corners on the edge.

The demon clan has greatly expanded its sphere of influence from its original Xihe Continent, and has occupied five continents, especially Dazhong Continent, the most prosperous central area in the world. They captured the original Demon Capital and turned it into the Demon Capital.

This had an unexpected result for the human race. As slave tribes under the demon race, the human race also migrated along with the demons, and their footprints spread across the five continents.

The Thousand-Faced Judge landed in a human village at the foot of a mountain in Dazhongzhou.

However, the human race continues to suffer.

The top slave owners are in high spirits, occupying the best paradise on earth. What does this have to do with the slaves below? On the contrary, because they have changed places and become rulers, they need better food, clothing, housing and transportation. They can only make the slaves suffer more and make more contributions to make their masters live comfortably.

The village where the Thousand-Faced Judge lives is ruled by a Nascent Soul Demon King. The people in the village are exploited on a daily basis. If the Demon King gets greedy one day, he will ask the villagers to offer them two-legged sheep. The lives of the humans in the village are extremely miserable.

Each of these humans is just a talking cow or horse. Although they have martial arts skills, they dare not raise their swords or guns against the demon master.

If a family produces a seed of immortal cultivation, they have to report to the demon master. Parents and children are forced to separate, but they still smile happily and say that at least their children have followed the demon master as a member of the family and will not become like two-legged sheep.

In short, the people in this village have completely lost their spirit. They have been accustomed to being slaves for generations, and they are lifeless and have no sense of resistance.

The Thousand Faced Judge, who was used to practicing Tribulation, was shocked by what he saw and heard because he was new to this world. In addition, he was injured, so he could only hide his cultivation for the time being and survive until he figured out the situation.

Since the Thousand-Faced Judge was a robber cultivator, his psychological quality was far superior to that of ordinary people, so he mixed in the village as a refugee, and spent more than half a year recuperating from his injuries. He also watched the population of this village of thousands of people decrease in half a year.

More than ten people died directly or indirectly at the hands of the demons, and the villagers could do nothing but complain and shed tears.

One dark night, the Thousand-Faced Judge, who had recovered from his injuries, left the village. He was afraid that if he stayed too long, he would be infected by the bad luck of these quasi-two-legged sheep.

But before leaving, the Thousand-Faced Judge still let himself go a bit. He thought, as a well-known cultivator of the East China Sea, when had he ever been bullied by the demons?
He sneaked into the Demon King City, broke into the treasury, and emptied the Demon King's treasures. When he was about to leave, he made a big noise, which attracted the Demon King to attack. He flew a hundred miles away and then turned back. The two fought fiercely for more than half an hour and finally killed the Demon King.

After hearing this, Lu Ye thought to himself, no wonder I was so skilled in stealing treasures and burying people in ancient times. It turns out that it was because I stayed in the alliance for too long and was influenced by you.

Otherwise, why are my moves the same as yours?
You must have led me astray...

The Thousand Faced Judge had no idea what Lu Ye was thinking. He continued to say that after he killed the Demon King and left, he would wander the earth all day long, relying on the immortal cultivation resources he had robbed from the treasury to continue his practice and became a lone ranger.

If the storage ring is empty, he will leave his hiding place and look for the demon tribe to do business with for no cost.

After wandering for more than a hundred years, the Thousand-Faced Judge found that he had come to many strange places in the Middle Ages.

It turned out that not all human villages in the world were as numb and hopeless as the village where he landed when he landed.

"Fellow Daoist Mi Yan..." He changed his words very quickly and called Lu Ye that to bring the two closer together.

"Can you believe that in this era, some human villages actually have cultivation techniques from Qi training to Nascent Soul?"

"I'm talking about a technique that is completely suitable for human cultivation, not the half-baked, half-demon-like evil technique that Hu Jinzhong learned!"

"It's not just the techniques, it also has all the arts of cultivating immortals. Even the talismans are made with human system characters and symbols, which is different from the previous powerful demons and monsters."

"Although these inheritances have been incomplete and changed beyond recognition over the years, we can see from them that this is a complete system of cultivating immortals."

"Besides, the more I look at it, the more I feel that it resembles the Taoist tradition passed down by my 'little-eyed' Shang Tianti."

"That's strange..."

When Lu Ye heard Shang Tianti being called "little eyes" by the Thousand-Faced Judge, he almost laughed out loud.

Isn’t Shangtianti the “eyes” of the Thousand-Faced Judge?

When the Thousand Faces Judge was carrying Shang Tianti on his back and escaping from the Demon Realm, Shang Tianti suddenly disappeared from the void, almost scaring the Thousand Faces Judge to death.

But at this moment, he felt more surprised.

good good!
Sure enough, Lao Shang and I’s efforts were not in vain.

The immortal cultivation techniques and the inheritance of hundreds of arts have been passed down. It doesn't matter if some of them are damaged, as this was also what was anticipated at the beginning.

As long as the main trunk is not lost and there is an endless supply of native human cultivators, there will surely be smart and talented people who will complete it. Of course, as time goes by, it will definitely deviate far from the original version and eventually become unrecognizable.

However, because the human race has been trying to survive in the cracks and is not yet the protagonist of heaven and earth, the iteration of cultivation is slow, and it has not yet changed to the point where even its mother cannot recognize it.

It was not surprising that the Thousand Faces Judge recognized the shadow fur of the Shang Tianti Lingyun Sect's inheritance. After all, the skills can be confused and similar. However, it was not surprising that they were related to the Hundred Arts of Immortal Cultivation, runes, characters, etc.

He quickly combined his own situation and concluded that "Little Eyes" Shang Tianti was probably in the same situation as himself and had also "drifted" into ancient times.

It’s just that the Shang Tianti was lost in a much earlier time, so these “traces” were left behind.

As for why these skills have not been spread throughout the human tribes, it is quite simple. With the cultivation level of the Thousand-Faced Judge, he has only walked less than one thousandth of the earth.

The inheritance left by Shang Tianti back then probably did not dare to make a big splash, so the scope of its spread was limited. Therefore, it is normal for most human villages to maintain the original "historical rhythm".

"Over the years, I have been looking for traces left by Shang Tianti..." said the Thousand-Faced Judge, "After all, his ending may be my future."

After hearing this, Lu Ye hurriedly asked about the results of his search.

Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect.

Shang Tianti has been his younger brother for decades, so of course he cares about how he will end up.

The Thousand-Faced Judge shook his head regretfully.

He searched for many years and only knew vaguely about it.

Thousands of years ago, two ancestors of the human race established a Taoist school in the mountains of Xihezhou and founded the Lingyun Altar. Legend has it that the altar was a paradise on earth, where there was no exploitation by monsters and humans managed themselves.

The top demon emperor, who is in a state of transformation, doesn't care about anything and has no fellow tribesmen, but fortunately he is a teacher and even invites the "Tree Master" to protect the human race.

Some say this paradise on earth has existed for thousands of years, others say it has only existed for a few hundred years.

Unfortunately, the headquarters was destroyed in a chaotic battle, the paradise on earth was shattered, and countless humans escaped from it and ran to all directions, spreading their skills to various places.

Of the two ancestors, one has long been lost in record and remains mysterious. No one knows his life or his ending.

There was another ancestor whose surname was indeed Shang. It was said that he was born with strange visions and nine arms. Some said that he died fighting to protect the human race, while others said that he died of old age, had countless descendants, and had a good end, passing away peacefully.

Lu Ye was stunned for a moment. In just a few thousand years, the truth had been passed around and turned out to be like this?

Shang Tianti only has nine puppet mechanical arms, not natural nine arms, so the rumors about his fate are certainly not reliable, especially the two contradictory rumors.

The ruin of Lingyun Sect's headquarters was certainly not a surprise.

Even the demon clan could be overthrown, let alone a small alliance of human villages? I just don't know whether it was destroyed by the turbulent civil war among the demon clan, or in the decisive battle between the demons and monsters?
The Thousand-Faced Judge continued to say that he ultimately failed to find more information about the Lingyun Sect, but he had been wandering in the demon world for hundreds of years, collecting inherited skills from many tribes, and he was sure of one thing - the Lingyun Sect and the inherited skills, how could there be so many coincidences?

Shang Tianti must have been exiled back to ancient times, causing quite a scene.

His younger brothers are so promising, why should the Thousand-Faced Judge be willing to lag behind them?

He has been a robber cultivator for a long time. He has been rampant in the East China Sea and has always been accustomed to robbing others. When has he ever lived a life of keeping his tail between his legs?
In the past few hundred years of collecting martial arts, he had dealings with human groups that had inherited martial arts and had seen the world and were unwilling to be slaves.

Some are villages, and some are refugees.

After hundreds of years, the Thousand-Faced Judge also achieved the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Stage, but he had to hide from place to place all day long and could not practice in peace. He failed several times in his attempts to reach the Spiritual Transformation Stage. If it were not for the abundance of natural resources and treasures in this era, he would have died long ago if he had not been able to heal his injuries in time.

One day he had a sudden inspiration.

He wanted to achieve the state of incarnation, but every time there was no one to protect him. He was afraid that someone would take advantage of him while he was transcending the tribulation, so he failed to transcend the tribulation many times.

After all, when the Nascent Soul breaks through to the Spiritual Transformation stage, the noise would be too loud and could be felt within hundreds of miles. If he attracted any curious demon, would he, a human, be in any good situation?
Therefore, the reason why he failed to break through the realm repeatedly was actually because his mind was unstable and half of his attention was focused on the outside world. How could he succeed in breaking through the realm?
You must first gather the people before you can achieve deification.

Afterwards, the Thousand-Faced Judge gathered the fugitives and the restless villagers from the villages with which he had historical ties, and founded the Dragon-Snatching Alliance.

He used to be a lone ranger, but after forming the Dragon Snatchers Alliance he became a gang robber.

Anyway, there are countless human organizations that resist the demon race, so having one more Dragon-stealing Alliance is no big deal.

The Thousand Faced Judge spent another hundred years in silence, and finally, under the protection of many younger brothers in the Dragon Stealing Alliance, he successfully achieved the state of deification.

You should know that although there are many organizations that resist the demon clan, the Dragon Stealing Alliance is the only one with a God-transformed being the leader.

On the one hand, the Dragon-Snatching Alliance gained great momentum, and many human cultivators from a thousand miles around came to join it. The Thousand-Faced Judge led the Dragon-Snatching Alliance, which had grown in strength, to rob many Demon Kings and Demon Emperors.

On the other hand, the Thousand-Faced Judge's Dragon-Snatching Alliance became a thorn in the eyes and flesh of the surrounding demon tribes, who hated it with all their might.

“Brother Miyan…” The Thousand-Faced Judge smiled bitterly and spread his hands, “You saw it too…”

"At our peak, including the old and weak mortals, my Dragon Seizing Alliance had more than 2,000 members. In addition to me, who is now a Spiritual Transformation, there are 17 Nascent Souls. We caused unrest among the demon tribes within a radius of thousands of miles."

"Now, there's only me and Xiao Shiba..."

The Thousand-Faced Judge looked lonely.

Only one of the seventeen Nascent Souls was left, and he knew how the demon clan had targeted him over the years.

How could the surrounding Demon Emperors tolerate such a large rebel force near their territory?
Since the Demon Emperors who have transformed into gods cannot catch the Thousand-Faced Judge, they will naturally report it to their superiors, and then the Demon Lord of Refining Void will take action. The Dragon-Snatching Alliance will be hit hard several times and will gradually be on its way to a dead end.

If Lu Ye hadn't dropped from the sky today, they would have most likely been caught by Hu Jinzhong.

"Fellow Daoist Miyan..." The Thousand-Faced Judge sighed, "You came at the right time."

"The Dragon Snatching Alliance is too bold. I can't carry them anymore, so I'll ask you to be the leader!"

"Also, your coming to this world is also our destiny."

"To be honest, I am going crazy living in this era. I have a huge secret that I cannot reveal to anyone else. I have a feeling that if I reveal the secret to the people of this era, something terrible will happen."

"Now that we meet today, I can finally get my thoughts out."

Lu Ye shook his head repeatedly.

"Brother Alliance Leader, what discouraging words are you saying?"

"The Dragon Seizing Alliance is yours, and it can only be yours."

"Whether in later times or in the Middle Ages."

Seeing the frustrated look on the Thousand-Faced Judge's face, he continued, "Little brother, you should be my deputy leader. This time, we will stick together and survive in this cannibalistic era."

Lu Ye is new here and is unfamiliar with the place, while the Thousand Faced Judge has endured for eight hundred years and it was he who single-handedly built up the new Dragon Alliance. If he goes crazy and tries to snatch his foundation, won’t he just be hated by his subordinates?
It's good to be a deputy ally, and slowly influence and change them.

"As for your little eye Shang Tianti... I know a thing or two about him." Lu Ye said with a smile, "The Lord Alliance Master is open with me, so I will naturally not hide anything."

He briefly told the Thousand-Faced Judge about the things that happened in ancient times, but only skipped the fact that he returned to the afterlife and then traveled to this world.

This is too complicated to explain.

He only said that he was cursed by the sundial mark, and relied on practicing the Immortal Spiritual Sutra to fight it. He managed to hold on for a while and wandered in ancient times. He unexpectedly met the monk Tianti again and re-established the Lingyun Sect's mountain gate.

Later, in a fight with the demon clan, he inadvertently summoned the river of time and space while using time and space related skills, and was then sucked into it and drifted here.

After hearing this, the Thousand-Faced Judge was shocked and finally resolved the confusion in his mind. He clapped his hands excitedly.

"I knew I was right."

"Haha, all of this is indeed the work of you and Shang Tianti."

"Okay, Brother Miyan, since you helped Shang Tianti escape from trouble, you must be a lucky star, and you will definitely be able to solve the dilemma we are facing."

The Thousand-Faced Judge muttered to himself.

Since I can't beat this guy, I can only turn the enemy into a friend and see what happens next.

At this time, there were heavy demonic clouds rising outside the forest, and inside, there was a faint display of the territory of the demon clan who had transformed into gods. They might be the demon reinforcements following Hu Jinzhong.

Obviously, it is not suitable to stay at the edge of the forest for a long time.

The two of them didn't bother to reminisce about the past, and hurried into the depths of the forest to chase after the members of the Dragon Alliance first.

The Thousand-Faced Judge explained to Lu Ye that this was the territory of a great wood-attributed demon named Lianxu Yaojun, and it was named Mujunlin.

The demon tribe has a deep concept of territory. We humans, who are as weak as wild beasts, can pass through harmlessly, but they will never allow other demons to enter, which makes it convenient for us to transfer and escape.

Lu Ye's heart moved and he asked the name of the wood monster.

The Thousand-Faced Judge said without hesitation.

"This Refining Void Saint's surname is Mu, and his nickname is Mu Baijun..."
