The ancestor of all monsters in Shushan

After finding the Taiyi Hunyuan Patriarch, Shi Feiyang realized that he could not force him to stay here today. His plans for many days had failed again, so he sighed repeatedly.

The key to the future catastrophe lies in the Heavenly Demon Sword and not in the person of Taiyi Hunyuan Patriarch.

Even if a person is gone, the sword can still find someone else's soul to merge with. It is actually very simple to change a host.

In fact, the ideal situation is that Taiyi Hunyuan Patriarch can be independent and cooperate with him to get rid of the Tianmo Zhuxian Sword, so he is willing to exchange his nine swords.

However, Patriarch Taiyi Hunyuan refused, because Chiyou's spirit had been too deeply integrated and he was too heavily influenced by it.

Although the situation was beginning to show signs of getting out of control, Shi Feiyang did not regret it. If he could do it again, he would still go to the Xingxiu Sea to refine the sword with Master Taiyi Hunyuan.

After all, if he didn't do this, he wouldn't be able to get the second treasure of the Holy Spirit. He had to take control of his own destiny and couldn't rely on the mercy of others.

If there is any benefit, there must be a disadvantage. I will bear any disaster!

He also stood up and told Taiyi Hunyuan Patriarch: "If it weren't for me, you would have been reduced to ashes long ago! The future Hunyuan Chiyou was created by me, and I must be responsible for this matter to the end!
You can do whatever you want. I won't care if it doesn't concern me. If you break my taboos, I will make you return to your old ways and turn into ashes. You and Chi You also know what my bottom line is.

I will not go out of my way to look for you anymore. After hundreds of years of practice, you should have your own ideas. What kind of ending do you want in the future? You can decide for yourself!"

After he finished speaking, he waved his robe sleeves slightly, and immediately moved away into thin air, disappearing in an instant.

Patriarch Taiyi Hunyuan looked at the place where he disappeared, was stunned for a moment, and finally snorted coldly, then leaped away and turned into a ray of magic light.

Half a day after they left, two young men walked up from the foot of the mountain.

Both of them were dressed in tight clothes, carrying swords on their backs, and walked with light steps. It was obvious that they were chivalrous men who had practiced martial arts.

They were passing by here on their way to travel around the world. After walking for half a day, they saw the wine jugs and cups and two plates of dried fruits that had just been bought.

They could smell the aroma of wine from a long distance away. They arrived at the pavilion and looked around, but didn't see anyone. They shouted twice, but the voices echoed in the mountains, but there was no response.

The two were used to traveling outside, so they sat down, poured wine and drank, and grabbed some dried fruits and ate them.

"Good wine, good wine! We brothers have been wandering around in the martial arts world for half our lives. We have drunk at least 8,000 kilograms of wine, but we have never drunk such a fragrant and good wine!"

Another said, "After drinking this wine, I feel refreshed. This is a desolate mountain with no houses within a hundred miles. The wine utensils are also exquisite, better than what I saw in the prince's palace last time! Could this be left by a god?"

"If it was left by a god, wouldn't we become gods if we drank it?"

"Whether I become a god or not, being able to drink such delicious wine is worth it in this life!"

"It would be great if we could really become immortals. This time we went to Changsha to compete in sword fighting. I heard that the original master of the ruthless old maid Zhang Sangu was a sword immortal, and she could also fly a sword. Because she violated the rules of the sect, her sword immortal master took back her flying sword and expelled her from the sect."

"If she is really a sword fairy, we don't need to go, we can just surrender and admit defeat!"

“That’s not necessary. I know an old senior in the martial arts world, the famous swordsman Qiu Shaoliang. He is now a disciple of the Lushan School and has mastered the art of flying swords.

How powerful was that old man when he was wandering around the world? He never used a second move to kill people. After becoming a sword immortal, he must be even more unfathomable. Don't even mention whether Zhang Sangu knows how to control the sword.

Even if it's his master, that Luo Ziyan, he won't be a match for Senior Qiu. If it doesn't work, we can go to Mount Lushan and ask Senior Qiu to do us justice!"

As the two men talked, they became more and more drunk, and before they knew it, they floated on the table and fell into a deep sleep.

The two men slept for nearly a month. When they woke up, they were full of energy. They stood up and moved their bodies. Their joints crackled. They slightly mobilized the true energy in their dantian, and it seemed that they had increased their Taoism by decades. They waved their hands again and used the power of the palm to easily break a pine tree as thick as a bowl outside the pavilion.

"Wow! This is really something that was left by an immortal! This is really something that was left by an immortal!"

The two knelt on the ground and bowed to the sky: "Thank you for the wine, immortal... I hope the immortal can show up and let us thank you in person..."

The two of them bowed for a long time, but naturally didn't get any response, so they had to give up.

They went down the mountain and continued on their journey. After arriving in Changsha, they found out that the sword fight had already ended. Although Zhang Sangu could not fly with a sword, her martial arts skills were very impressive. She also invited several swordsmen from the Emei School to help.

They were completely defeated. There was a chaotic fight between the two sides that night. Most of them were killed or injured on the spot. Only they arrived more than ten days later and managed to escape this disaster!

Shi Feiyang didn't know that the wine and fruit he had left behind had inadvertently changed the fate of two people. He returned to the makeshift Taoist temple, and the four little disciples saw him coming out and hurried over to kowtow and greet him.

Especially for Shi Zhu, it was the first time he saw Shi Feiyang since he could remember.

Looking at the little child who kowtowed to him respectfully, Shi Feiyang felt quite emotional.

He told Shi Zhu: "You and I originally had no hatred or grudges, but because you wanted to survive the 1,300-year catastrophe, you took the initiative to please the Emei Sect and helped them to become my enemy, and I destroyed your body.

You hate me so much that after so many years, you seek revenge on me again and even want to destroy my foundation of Tianwai Shenshan. Then you voluntarily die under my sword, and after your death, you will be my disciple in this life.

I don't care about what you did to me in the past, and you have forgotten the old hatred, let's start over. You practice well under me, and I will give you the Xuanyuan Nine Swords.
I will create a set of skills just for you. After you have mastered it, you can use this magic sword to wipe out the demons. At that time, I will also settle the bad consequences of my past actions for you."

Shi Zhu didn't understand what he heard, but his intuition told him that the other party was the most trustworthy and reliable person, so he kowtowed again: "My disciple's life is entirely entrusted to Master's hands. How I act is entirely up to Master's instructions."

Shi Feiyang then formally accepted this disciple.

In recent years, he compiled all his life's learning into a book called "Ziying Immortal Scripture" (note), which is divided into three volumes: upper, middle and lower. The upper volume is about the Great Way of the Three Emperors, the universe and life, the destiny of heaven and the way of man, etc.

It looks very vague and empty. It seems to make a lot of sense while you are watching it, but after you finish watching it, you feel as if you have not seen anything.

But this thing is the shaping of the world view, the world view determines the outlook on life, the outlook on life determines the values, this thing is the key foundation for determining whether it is the right way or the wrong way. The middle volume is about the cultivation method, with a total of nine chapters. The first three chapters talk about human cultivation, the middle three chapters talk about demon cultivation, and the last three chapters talk about ghosts and gods without physical bodies.

The second volume describes various applied spells, sword training methods, talismans, formations, elixir recipes, etc.

Whether it is talking about the way of heaven, the techniques, or various spells, none of them are completely copied from others.

This Taoist book is not just a simple collection. Every technique, every spell, and every pill recipe has parts created by Shi Feiyang himself.

He broke down and integrated all the things he had practiced over the years, starting from what he had realized about the Three Emperors and adding his own insights.

He had his own unique interpretation of the Zhoutian Golden Talisman, and he also made a lot of improvements to the Five Elements Qi training method in the Hesha Qishu, increasing its external power and many variations.

As soon as these three volumes of scriptures came out, Shi Feiyang had completely become a master of the immortal way.

He showed the Taoist book to four disciples, and each disciple saw different words.

This book will display different scriptures based on their own spiritual foundation and physical and mental characteristics, all of which are most suitable for them.

Shi Feiyang warned them that before they became earth immortals, they were not allowed to communicate with each other and should only practice on their own.

As the eldest senior brother, Lin Han saw about one-tenth of the contents of the scripture, Shi Sheng was about the same, and Qiu Yuan's skills were still shallow, so he only saw less than one-tenth.

Shi Zhu saw the most, almost one-fifth of everything.

When they finished reading, Feiyang took the scriptures back and asked them to practice on their own. After they had mastered the skills, they could read the rest of the scriptures.

After reading it, Lin Han and Shi Sheng went to practice elsewhere. Later, disciples such as Deng Bagu, Huo Wuhai, Xiong Manniang and others came here one after another to read the immortal scriptures.

Over the years, somehow, the legend about the "Purple Ying Immortal Scripture" began to spread throughout the world, saying that this sutra was written by Yuanyang Zhenren, the national master of the Ming Dynasty, and that the content is all-encompassing. There are a total of three volumes, covering the most brilliant cultivation methods of the three religions of Buddhism, Taoism and Demonism, and it is now scattered in the world.

No matter if it is a sword immortal with a foundation in cultivating immortals, or a mortal who knows nothing, or a goblin who is not even a human, or even a ghost without a physical body, everyone can practice. Following the methods in the book, one can directly obtain a path to immortality and Buddha, or cultivate into a free demon.

Some people use Buddhist terms to describe this sutra, which is called "universally covering all three roots, and accepting all the wise and the dull!"
Even if one's aptitude is too mediocre and one is unwilling to work hard, and therefore cannot cultivate, as long as one gets a few words from the book, one can cultivate extremely powerful spells. Even if one cannot cultivate spells, one can cultivate peerless skills. A person with only one breath left can immediately become refreshed, sit up again, run around, and walk briskly after cultivating a spell from the book...

Shi Feiyang didn't notice it at first. He was also practicing on his own, and occasionally teaching his two little disciples when he was free.

Until this day, Xiong Manniang came to see him and said that the matter of the scripture had spread throughout the martial arts world: "There is a misguided sister Luo who was expelled from the sect. She is called Zhang Sangu. Because she violated the rules of the sect, her flying sword was taken back and she was expelled from the sect. In recent years, she has been hanging around in the mortal martial arts world relying on her Qigong skills. She said that Master is about to ascend to the Lingkong Immortal Realm, and specially left behind a copy of the "Purple Ying Immortal Scripture", which is so brilliant and powerful.

I think that only a few of us brothers and sisters have read the scripture, and we are all tight-lipped people. We would never easily tell others about such things. I don't know how this book got out, and the more it spread, the more outrageous it became. Now many "fragments of the immortal scripture" have appeared in the martial arts world, and many martial arts heroes, even sword immortals, have fought to get them, causing a lot of bloodshed."

Shi Feiyang frowned and made some calculations. He knew that someone was deliberately making trouble, but he knew too little information and the conclusion he derived from the hexagram was not clear.

He asked Xiong Manniang to go down immediately: "Go find me a copy of the 'Immortal Scripture Fragment'."

Xiong Manniang took the order and went out to find her niece Zhang Sangu and asked her where the remaining fragments of the immortal scripture were.

Zhang Sangu was expelled from the sect because she injured her fellow apprentice sister. She wanted to return to Luo Ziyan's sect one day, so she tried hard to please Xiong Manniang. In the past few years since she was expelled from the sect, Xiong Manniang, the "master's aunt", had taken good care of her. When she heard her question, she immediately stood up in a hurry and said, "Master uncle, do you also want the "Purple Ying Immortal Scripture"? I heard that Yuanyang Zhenren is your master. You can't find the scripture in your master's sect, so do you have to go out to look for it in the martial arts world?"

Xiong Manniang waved her hand and said, "Don't worry about it. Just tell me where it is."

Aunt Zhang is a famous female knight in the martial arts world: "Two fragments of the scroll were published this year. One was found in Mount Tai, and after several twists and turns, it finally fell into the hands of the two knights of Wuzhong. The other was in Dongting Lake, which also triggered a bloody battle. In the end, as far as I know, it was taken away by the Five Heroes of Xiangjiang. If you want to see it, I can ask the Five Heroes of Xiangjiang for it for you."

"No need, I'll get it myself."

The Five Heroes of Xiangjiang are also famous knights in the Hunan area. They are Zhang Zhang, the Crimson Roar, Wang Feng, the Iron Straw Taoist in Changsha Valley, the chivalrous monk Yifan, Luo Xin, the Shanhua Hero, Bai Qi, the Jade-faced Roar, etc. They are all from the same group and are very familiar with each other.

Xiong Manniang found the Five Heroes of Xiangjiang. When the five heroes heard that Xiong Manniang was coming, they hurried out to greet her.

Xiong Manniang has been frequently active in Hunan in recent years, slaying demons and eliminating evil, and has displayed many of her skills. In addition, Luo Ziyan is her senior sister, so she can always be contacted in a roundabout way, and the Five Heroes are well aware of her name.

Xiong Manniang explained her purpose clearly. The five heroes did not hesitate and immediately went to the cellar to take out an iron box. After opening it, there was another iron box inside. After opening it again, there was another iron box inside...

A total of six layers of blockades were opened, and finally a piece of silk book was taken out. Xiong Manniang took it and looked at it. She had never seen the scriptures on it before, but she had not read the entire scripture, so she didn't know if it was what her fellow disciples had seen. She was about to take the book away, but when she looked at the eager eyes of the Five Heroes of Xiangjiang, she remembered that this thing had been obtained with untold hardships, and it would be inappropriate to just take it away like that.

She took out five flying swords and said, "I got these when I killed the Five Demons of Huaixi a few years ago. I thought they were of good quality, so I refined them into a set. I wanted to use them myself, but I'll give them to you this time."

The five swords were shining, and it was obvious that they were magical weapons of the immortals. The five heroes were overjoyed and hurried to express their gratitude.

Xiong Manniang came back with the silk book and gave it to Shi Feiyang.

Shi Feiyang took the silk book and took a look at it, slightly surprised.

The scripture above is indeed of its own style, the content is also very similar, and it is indeed an extremely profound method of cultivating immortals!

He took the silk book and made another divination, and this time he got the correct answer - Haha, ancestor!

Then he laughed again: "This old monster doesn't dare to fight me head-on, so he uses this method to ruin my merits. Hmm? No, this scripture... it smells like curry and blood when I read it. People from Buddhism and the Demon Sect have also joined in. Good fellows, this time you have teamed up to set a trap for me!"

He handed the silk book back to Xiong Manniang and asked her to return it to the Five Heroes of Xiangjiang.

Xiong Manniang asked: "Which old monster deliberately set up a trap to harm us?"

Shi Feiyang told her: "You can't do anything about it. I will deal with him myself." (End of this chapter)
