Ming Dynasty: Emperor Wanshou is cultivating immortality!

Chapter 328: Darkness is coming, unrest has begun, and the Ming Dynasty is exposed!
Bones of Creation!

The secret of the origin of the human world and the world of immortals.

A road to heaven that allows one to ascend to immortality without any hard practice.

Even if you are a nine-tribulation immortal, as long as you ascend the road to heaven and enter the fairyland, you can become an immortal without having to practice hard and worry about being killed by heavenly thunder.

Thus, the news that was enough to shake the entire world of immortal cultivation was spread in a wild market in the Western Continent and Floating Light Island in such an extremely absurd way that was beyond everyone's expectations.

Of course, no one cared at this time how the news came out and who spread it.

Because everyone is attracted by the legend of the Bones of Creation.

As for the authenticity of this shocking news, there are very few people who doubt it.

One of the main reasons is that among the pictures on the photo stone released by the auction house, there is also a picture of a person in the late stage of refining emptiness, deliberately ambushing and killing people to silence them!

Not only that, but also the identities of the murderer and the murdered, as well as the murdered person's origins were revealed.

The deceased was Lu Yu, the third son of the third branch of the Lu family, a dominant family on Lingxu Island.

Of course, if he was just a bastard son of the third branch of a hegemonic family, he would naturally not be taken seriously by everyone, and they might even doubt the authenticity of the image released by the photo stone.

But when they learned that Lu Yu was actually the son of Lu Ao, the patriarch of the third branch of the Lu family, and the young princess of the Han Palace of the Ziweixingyu Suzaku Ancient Dynasty, the entire Fuguang Island was in an uproar.

The world of immortal cultivation on Arcturus is huge.

But this is only for the middle and lower level monks.

For those real upper-level monks and the forces they belong to, Arcturus is not that big, because their intelligence network can be said to be spread across the four continents of Arcturus.

Therefore, as long as something major happens on Arcturus, they can know it through their own intelligence network at the first time, and naturally the matter of the Bones of Creation is no exception.

For a moment, the entire world of immortal cultivation was in an uproar.

From the four major academies, overlord-level sects and families to ordinary groups of independent practitioners.

Everyone was excited!
Of course, the reason why those independent cultivators with low cultivation base and no background or power were so excited was naturally because all the major forces had offered their own bounties at the first opportunity.

Anyone who provides clues will be given tens to hundreds of thousands of spiritual sources, as well as many magical weapons of high quality.

If someone can find the Bone of Creation, he will be given an extremely high-quality natal star, a superior martial arts technique, and assistance in breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, and will be directly recruited by major forces.

There are also many unimaginable benefits.

Outside Arcturus, there is the Dazhu star, where the Dazhu Academy is located, inside the Minglun Hall.

At this time, Deputy Dean Ouyang Lin and the patriarchs of the six major families of Dazhu Academy gathered together again.

However, this time, they no longer had the ease they had before when they were dealing with the Suzaku Ancient Dynasty and the Han Palace's plan to come to the Western Continent.

At this moment, everyone had a solemn look on their face.

“Bone of Creation!” The middle-aged woman with an oval face and a diamond-shaped mark on her forehead looked at the video playing in the hall in front of her and said in a deep voice: “I didn’t expect that the origin of the fairy world and our human world actually originated from a mysterious place…”

"Brother?" Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something, turned her head and looked at him, and said, "Is this true? Why is there no record of it in the academy's collection of strange things?"

Upon hearing this, the other five people also looked at Deputy Dean Ouyang Lin, wanting an answer.

"It is true." Seeing everyone looking at him, Ouyang Lin nodded, raised his hand to remove the content of the photo above the hall, and said: "This thing is also called the Spine of Creation."

"As for the secret of this item, only the deans of all generations know it in the academy."

"When every dean's cultivation breaks through to the Mahayana stage, he will tell the deputy dean the secret of this item and other secrets of the academy. I also knew about it a thousand years ago."

"It's a pity that I only found one piece after searching the entire Western Continent." As he spoke, Ouyang Lin spread out his palms, and then a piece of the Bone of Creation appeared.

The other six people below couldn't help but hold their breath when they saw the Bone of Creation.

The thought that as long as I collect all these things, I can open the road to heaven.

If becoming an immortal has no price and no effort, then why do they still have to practice so hard?
"No one knows what the fairy world is like." At this time, Ouyang Lin, as if he had seen through everyone's thoughts, put away the spine of creation, and said in a submissive tone: "If the fairy world is still a place where the weak are preyed on by the strong and the strong are the masters, what does it matter if you enter the fairy world?"

"A fairy in the Golden Core Stage or the Nascent Soul Stage?"

"Even worse, immortals in the Qi Refining Stage, or even the Qi Induction Stage?"

"There will no longer be any boundaries between immortals and mortals. All races will be in an uproar and pour into the immortal world. What kind of chaos will it be then?"

"Have you ever thought about this?" As Ouyang Lin spoke, his originally gentle tone turned stern.

"Besides, the Spine of Creation has now appeared. By then, all the major forces will surely take action upon hearing the news."

"The twenty-eight constellations, the four major constellations of Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise, as well as the Northern Dipper, Southern Dipper, the Ziwei, Taiwei, and Tianshi constellations of the Three Enclosures."

"My Dazhu Academy is the leader of the four major academies on Arcturus."

"But looking at this vast world of immortal cultivation, how many beings are stronger than us?"

"The Han Palace of the ancient Suzaku Dynasty is enough for us to be on high alert. As for other palaces, there are many dynasties in the Ziwei Star Region. Any dynasty is not something we can deal with!"

"Not to mention these ancient dynasties!"

"There are also the ancient races in the Taiwei Star Region. What kind of dangerous place is the Taiwei Star Region?"

"Those emperors are all extremely greedy. Why can Ziwei Star Region and Taiwei Star Region live in peace?"

"This shows that the ancient clan in Taiwei Star Region is not weaker than the dynasty in Ziwei Star Region, and is even stronger!"

"There are also Tianshi Star Region and so on..."

"Once involved in this catastrophe, our academy will be nothing more than an insignificant speck of dust!"

As Ouyang Lin spoke, the patriarchs of the six major families below gradually calmed down. At the same time, they couldn't help but shudder when they thought of the coming scene.

In a war like this that has swept across the entire vast world of immortal cultivation, the strength of one's own cultivation cannot determine anything at all.

Because that was a war between many top forces!
You are in the Mahayana stage, and I am in the Mahayana stage too. At this time, what we are competing for is not individual combat power, but group strength!

"That's an exaggeration. If we put it in a more minor way, if the academy's top leaders knew about the existence of the Spine of Creation, would you be able to suppress your greed?"

"At that time, the world will be turned upside down!" Ouyang Lin said, looking coldly at the six people below.

When Ouyang Lin's eyes swept over them, the six of them lowered their heads guiltily.

They knew that what the deputy dean said was absolutely correct. The moment they learned about the Spine of Creation, their first thought was to take it for themselves!

Then let your family take sole control of the road to heaven!

Even people like them were influenced by greed and ignored other consequences that they could not bear. This was their first thought, so what about the overlord sects and families below?

"But it's too late now!" At this time, the young man in a green robe said with an unpleasant expression.

"The Han Palace will arrive soon, and then other forces of the Suzaku Ancient Dynasty will also hear the news and move. Other star regions will not be able to hide it either."

"We must immediately find the one called Yan Shifan and the spirit called Zhu Nian!" The old man in tattered clothes also looked extremely serious at this moment.

By now they had already calmed down.

The Spine of Creation is not something that a mere Dazhu Academy like them can control.

In order to protect themselves, they must find a way to find Yan Shifan, and capture Zhu Nian who knows the origin of the Spine of Creation, and then hand them over to the Han Palace.

With the Han Palace bringing back the ancient Suzaku Dynasty and communicating with the other three academies, Dazhu Academy will be able to stay out of the matter.

As for whether the other three academies will unite with them, there is no doubt about it.

There was actually competition between the four academies, but that was a private matter. Once the entire Arcturus was involved in the war, there would be no hope at all.

"Buzz!" Just as the top leaders of Dazhu Academy were discussing how to prevent this incident from affecting the entire Arcturus, a series of terrifying divine thoughts suddenly descended.

"The Spine of Creation must not be abandoned!"

The cold but unquestionable voice rang in the ears of everyone, including Ouyang Lin, who was in the middle stage of the Mahayana period.

"Wow!" Immediately afterwards, a violent wind of divine thoughts blew above the hall.

"Hand over the Spine of Creation." This time, a cold and ruthless female voice was heard in the hall.

“…Become an immortal, become an immortal, become an immortal!” A dry and intermittent voice sounded, like that of an evil spirit.

"If I can't become an immortal, I'd rather die!"

"Who dares to block my path to becoming an immortal? Who!!!"

"...I am unwilling to give up. The chance to become an immortal is right before my eyes. No one can stop me. Whoever tries to stop me will die!"

Except for Ouyang Lin, who was in the middle stage of Mahayana, the others were also under increasing pressure in the midst of these violent storms of divine thoughts.

At this moment, everyone had beads of cold sweat on their foreheads.

Even Ouyang Lin, who was in the middle stage of Mahayana, had a frown on his face.

Of course, at this moment, he was more helpless, because the thing he was most worried about had happened. The immortals who were in seclusion in the academy and hiding in the dark finally found out.

One of the reasons why the secret of the Spine of Creation was only passed down to the dean and his successors, and also because of these immortals.

As for why these immortals don’t know, this involves the issue of the academy’s inheritance.

Every successor to the dean is one in a million, selected through layers of screening, and is a perfect person without any flaws in his path.

In this way, naturally, every dean can ascend to the upper realm, and naturally this secret is preserved.

After that, there is the dean’s confidentiality mechanism. Immortals are not allowed to pry into the dean’s secrets. This is the rule and also a blood contract that must be followed.

When the academy's own Mahayana cultivators fail to transcend the tribulation and turn to become immortals, they must sign a contract.

Among them is the requirement that there should be no interference in the college's decision-making.

As for those independent cultivators who joined in halfway, in order to give the newcomers a decent standard, the requirements are naturally the same.

However, it is a mandatory blood contract. If you don't sign it? Then the academy will not accept these immortals.

At this moment, the bad thing is that the immortals in the academy have already known about it.

"My fellow immortals," Ouyang Lin took a step forward and bowed, saying, "I have something to say, please listen to me!"

However, no one paid any attention to him. Faced with the temptation of entering the fairyland and becoming an immortal without going through tribulations, that is, just embarking on the road to heaven, these immortals were unable to remain rational.

Some of these immortals are high-level ones.

Even if a high-level swordsman has mastered the magic sword, he is still not comparable to the most ordinary immortals.

It can be said that as long as they enter the Immortal Sword, they will naturally have an absolute advantage and they can live a more comfortable life.

Even after entering the fairyland, the immortals also have their own realm, and they will take many steps ahead of everyone else.

The path is endless and the sea of ​​immortality is boundless!
The more a creature stands at the top, the deeper the temptation will be!
"My fellow immortals, have you forgotten the blood contract you signed with the academy?" Seeing that these immortals completely ignored him, Ouyang Lin became angry and his tone became tough.

"boom!"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he felt a huge force surging into his chest, and he was blown away.

"Senior Brother?!" The middle-aged female cultivator with an oval face exclaimed and immediately flew to Ouyang Lin's side.

The top leaders of the other six major families were also on high alert at this moment, looking around the entire hall nervously.

Everyone was extremely tense, fearing that they would be the next to be attacked.

You should know that Dean Ouyang Lin’s cultivation is at the middle stage of Mahayana, but he was blasted away by the opponent’s spiritual power as soon as they met!

It is enough to show that the person who took action just now must be a high-level immortal!

Why can the immortals take action?

The reason is naturally because of the special features of the academy.

In fact, in all the major academies, sects and families, as long as there are immortals in charge, there are unique immortal artifacts and magic formations to protect them.

Under the suppression of the immortal weapon, the immortals within the magic circle can attack freely.

"Blood contract?" A sarcastic voice sounded, "Hahaha..."

"Ridiculous!" Another immortal hissed, "We have long been abandoned by the Heavenly Dao. Should we still worry about being punished by the Heavenly Dao for violating the blood covenant?"

"The reason why I obeyed the blood contract before was just because I didn't want to be deliberately targeted by the Heavenly Dao to reduce the Heavenly Disgust!"

"Now, as long as we get the Spine of Creation and set foot on the road to heaven, we can enter the fairyland and become immortals."

"This is the rule of the Tao. Even if it is too great, I cannot violate it. This is my only chance of survival!"

"For this, we will spare no effort..." The resentful voices of immortals rang out one after another in the hall.

Upon hearing the words of these immortals, the expressions of Ouyang Lin and others suddenly became gloomy.

They knew that the worst outcome had finally happened.

In fact, what these immortals said was not wrong. They were originally abandoned by heaven. What would it matter if one more person violated the blood covenant?

After all, it's just that you don't feel itchy because you have too many lice!

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!" In almost an instant, seven divine thoughts flew into the sea of ​​consciousness of Ouyang Lin and others.

Except for Ouyang Lin, a cultivator in the middle stage of Mahayana who also possessed divine consciousness, who sensed something was wrong and used his divine consciousness to block and dodge, the other six people were all hit.

At this moment, the academy's senior members, who controlled the fate of 90% of the creatures in the Western Continent and were powerful cultivators who had reached the fusion stage, were as fragile as children in front of the immortals.

Allow yourself to be controlled without any power to resist!
"My fellow immortals, what have you done?!" The moment the green-shirted female cultivator realized that the divine consciousness had escaped into her sea of ​​consciousness, her complexion immediately changed and she asked loudly.

The other five people also had extremely grim expressions at this moment, and they sent out their innate spiritual treasures almost at the same time.

Some clan leaders with deep financial resources did not care about exposing their strength in front of clan leaders of other families, and they all used their strongest weapons, including a pseudo-immortal weapon!

"Don't be nervous. We are just leaving a divine thought on your life." A sinister voice of an immortal sounded.

"Ouyang Lin, right?" A divine thought took shape and instantly appeared in front of Ouyang Lin, who also had a gloomy expression.

"From now on, Dazhu Academy must do its best to collect the Spine of Creation and must not retreat, otherwise you will die."

Another undisguised threat emerges.

"We won't make things difficult for you youngsters. There are many powerful people in the world of immortal cultivation," said another immortal with a relatively peaceful voice, "You just need to try your best to master the spine of creation that you can master, and fight for the right to speak in opening the road to heaven."

"From the moment the Spine of Creation appeared and exploded, the entire world of immortal cultivation was destined to become a living hell."

"The flames of war will spread to every corner!"

"How can you youngsters avoid disaster if you want to? How naive!"

"Starting today, we must arrest Yan Shifan and Zhu Nian, and we must seize the Spine of Creation before anyone else..."

As the last divine thought uttered its words, the violent divine thought storm gradually subsided.

Only Ouyang Lin and others with gloomy faces were left in the hall.

"Brother, what should we do?" The middle-aged female cultivator in green looked at Ouyang Lin with a pale face.

To be honest, before today, they would never believe, even if they were beaten to death, that the power in Dazhu Academy would change hands in less than an incense stick of time, and that they, the top leaders, would become puppets!
In the face of absolute strength, they are ultimately ants.

The patriarchs of the six major families knew that if the academy did not participate in the competition at the founding ceremony starting today, they would all die.

And the only person who could survive was the deputy dean!
"Should we inform the head brother?" Someone suggested, "He has full authority over the immortal weapon. If we use the reason of removing the immortal weapon protection formation to force them to lift it..."

"It's useless!" At this time, the sloppy old man shook his head and said, "Don't you understand? If we unite to fight for the Spine of Creation, then the entire academy, including those old guys, will be one, and they will help us!"

"With the emergence of the Spine of Creation, the entire Arcturus can no longer remain immune."

"In other words, we need these scattered immortals!"

"If there is an internal fight at this time, at most both sides will suffer losses, or these scattered immortals will simply flee away."

"Then think about it, in the upcoming turmoil, how can our Dazhu Academy contend with other forces?"

"The most important thing is those overlord-level forces under our command. Will they have other ideas and take the opportunity to overthrow the academy?"

"Hasn't it been these scattered immortals that the academy has relied on to oppress the forces under its command all along?"

"As the power of the entire cultivation world continues to expand, the distribution of resources is becoming increasingly unfair!"

"My all races under my rule are only waiting for an opportunity."

"Now that the opportunity has come, in the upcoming turmoil, our academy will surely become the public enemy of all cultivators, and we will attack them with all our might!"

"Do you think that when things have come to this point, Master Zhangyue will not know what is happening?"

"Why doesn't he come forward now?" The slovenly old man laughed at himself and said, "For my senior brother, he will soon ascend to the immortal world."

"He doesn't need the Creator to open the way to heaven for him to become an immortal. This is one reason!"

"Secondly, after ascending to heaven, he must give a perfect explanation to the previous generations of readers!"

"In other words, the dean is going to retire, and he must be stable. He must ensure that the academy does not have any problems under his control. At this time, Shu Yue can only unite and face the outside world."

"If the academy suffers losses due to the fight for the Spine of Creation, then it cannot be blamed on him!"

"Because this is the general trend, and it is an external war. If the academy falls apart due to internal strife..."

"He went up there, how do we explain it?"

"So, he won't use the immortal weapon, withdraw his protection, and let us deal with those scattered immortals!"

After the sloppy old man finished speaking, the hall fell into silence, and everyone knew that this was the fact.

"Announce to the entire academy to prepare for the battle." At this time, Ouyang Lin took a deep breath and said, "Activate the cross-domain isolation array outside Arcturus and prohibit anyone from entering!"

After hearing this, everyone knew that the deputy dean had decided to join the war!
No one is allowed to enter the Han Palace of the ancient Suzaku Dynasty.

Moreover, they had no intention of dissuading them, for a simple reason: they did not want to die.

"Yes!" The six people bowed and responded.

"Next, I will discuss with the four major academies and many top sects and families, and jointly deal with the situation." Ouyang Lin said to everyone: "This is bound to cause chaos that will harm the entire world of immortal cultivation. Will the academy be dethroned..."

"It all depends on whether all the junior brothers and sisters are united!"

"Remember," Ouyang Lin's figure had already become illusory when he turned around. He looked back slightly with cold eyes and said, "No force is allowed to remain unscathed!!!"

"Swish!" The cold voice echoed in everyone's ears.

"Yes!" The patriarchs of the six major families present bowed in greeting.

At the same time, in the southern continent, in the wild market under the command of the Daming Immortal Sect, in the Xianshu Bookstore.

"Swish!" Li Changqing's eyes suddenly opened!

"Damn bastard!" The next moment, Li Changqing's face was distorted, and violent spiritual power filled the entire house.

At this moment, Li Changqing could no longer maintain his previous calm attitude as if he was in control of everything.

The secret of the Spine of Creation has been revealed to the public!
Not only that, even the method he thought he had mastered to open the road to heaven was known to everyone.

Of course, what made him even more angry was that just now, the masters of the three branches of the White Horse Academy, upper, middle and lower, all participated in the high-level meeting of the academy convened by the dean.

He also learned from his father that the dean also had a piece of the Spine of Creation in his hands, and just now, the Spine of Creation had been taken away by the immortals who were in seclusion in the academy.

But he did not forget that he was holding two pieces of the Spine of Creation in his hands!
Once outsiders get to know about this, he will definitely not be able to keep it to himself!
Then the agreement between him and Zhu Cong would be invalid.

Not only that, the ancient Suzaku Dynasty is likely to have already known about the existence of the Spine of Creation.

After all, what happened in the Western Continent has already spread throughout the entire world of cultivation.

At that time, they were the enemy!

If his cooperation with Zhu Cong were exposed, he and the entire Li family would be doomed!
For him, the only way now is to get rid of Zhu Cong and everyone in the Daming Immortal Sect.

But this is just one method.

He couldn't get rid of a Mahayana cultivator without anyone noticing. Most importantly, behind Zhu Cong was the Mingwang Palace of the ancient Suzaku Dynasty.

Now that the matter of the Creation Confidant has become so big, it is very likely that Zhu Cong has already informed the Ming Palace.

For a moment, Li Changqing found himself being held up!

As for the academy, handing over the Spine of Creation and the secret violated the blood pact between him and Zhu Cong. Not only that, who knew such a secret? He had cooperated with the people of the Suzaku Ancient Dynasty without telling the academy's top management. How would those top management attack him and the Li family?

Even when the situation becomes absolutely critical, his father might very likely abandon him to save the entire Li family.

In view of the impending crisis, the academy's top management will definitely not fall out with the entire Li family.

In the end, you will be the only one who will be sacrificed.

As for the Suzaku Ancient Dynasty, if I decisively defect to the Suzaku Ancient Dynasty, that is, the Ming Palace where Zhu Cong is, how will my value be demonstrated?

You are yourself, and the Li family is the Li family!
Faced with the behemoth that is Minghua Mansion, only the entire Baima Academy can communicate with it.

The Li family, which is only one of the three major families in the middle, is too small.

If he had relied on his relationship with Zhu Cong, coupled with the method he possessed to open the road to heaven, he could have had a dialogue with him on an equal footing, and even used it as a bargaining chip to cooperate with the Ming Palace.

But now, the chips that he was so proud of before are now everywhere.

If you catch any casual cultivator, you might find out.

This resulted in him becoming worthless in front of the Ming Palace and Zhu Cong.

For a moment, Li Changqing was in a dilemma.

After a long silence, a hint of ruthlessness suddenly flashed in Li Changqing's eyes.

"The world of immortal cultivation will inevitably fall into extreme chaos. The four major academies have unified the entire Arcturus for a long time, and the distribution of resources is extremely uneven..."

"The dominant sects and families are all ambitious."

"From the lower-middle-level sects and families to the lower-level independent cultivators, it can be said that everyone is dissatisfied with and hates the current world of immortal cultivation!"

"As long as Arcturus is involved in war, the academy will most likely become everyone's target of attack!"

"Not everyone wants to fight for the Spine of Creation..." At this moment Li Changqing's brain was working rapidly, constantly weighing the pros and cons and thinking about his future.

"The Spine of Creation will eventually fall into the hands of the truly powerful forces in the world of immortal cultivation."

"And the dominant forces on Arcturus are nothing more than ants in the entire world of immortal cultivation."

"So once the war begins and darkness is approaching, they will definitely choose what they want most."

"Only by overthrowing the academy that is oppressing them can they become the ultimate winners in this war."

Thinking of this, Li Changqing took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. At this time, he had already understood clearly in his mind.

"...Is Zhu Cong still in seclusion?" Li Changqing asked in a calm tone.

"Yes, master." A low voice sounded in the void.

"Heh," Li Changqing sneered upon hearing this, and said, "Retreat? I'm afraid he has already returned to the Suzaku Ancient Dynasty."

"This abandoned son of the Ming Palace, who is from an unknown lineage, has great ambitions," Li Changqing said as he stood up.

"Let's go to the Central Plains. I will personally go to the secret post of the Ming Palace in the Southern Continent!"

"The Spine of Creation, the chips to open the Road to Heaven are gone. Does he think I am useless? Since he won't come to find me, I will take the initiative to find him."

"I think the Ming Palace also needs a guide now. The two pieces of the Creation Spine in my hand and the one in the White Horse Academy are very interesting..."

As he spoke, the teleportation array on Li Changqing's wrist lit up, and the next moment the power of space fluctuated.

Afterwards, Li Changqing disappeared.

However, Jiajing was completely unaware of this, and had no idea that Li Changqing would contact the Ming Palace in person.

……

On this day, as the news of the Spine of Creation spread rapidly, the entire world of immortal cultivation, the Twenty-Eight Stars, the Southern Dipper, the Northern Dipper, the Three Enclosures and many other star fields, as well as all races in the heavens, were shaken.

Of course, more people realize that darkness is coming and chaos has begun. Next, the entire world of immortal cultivation will encounter huge changes that have not been seen in tens of thousands of years, and the entire human world will turn into purgatory.

The Ming Immortal Sect, led by Xu Shixing and other disciples of Jiajing, as well as Liu Quan and other elders of the sect council, naturally also received the news from the Spine of Creation.

Well, although they were shocked, they didn’t feel anything.

After all, in their opinion, such existence is too far away from them.

Even if there is a major chaos in the future, with the protection of the sect leader's Mahayana cultivation, as long as they don't commit suicide voluntarily, everything will be fine.

However, Xu Shixing, who knew something about his master, thought of the private meeting between his master and Li Changqing that day.

His intuition told him that he should inform his master of the great changes in the world of immortal cultivation through the mysterious natal plateau!
"..."
