The ancestor is incompetent!

Chapter 41 Fukue Mountain

The old woman asked how long it would take, but Li Yuan did not give a definite answer, only saying that it would be soon and he would be back soon.

He smiled and prepared to leave, but the young woman stopped him before leaving, "Master Immortal, may I ask if these two children of mine have the talent to practice cultivation?"

Li Yuan was surprised and asked, "Once you enter the Immortal Gate, you will see two different worlds. Are you willing to let your child leave home and recreate your uncle's situation?"

"I'm sorry to make you laugh, Immortal Master. When I was young, I once saw my uncle returning home. Since then, I have longed to become an immortal. Unfortunately, I am a mortal. After I gave birth to a child, I gave up this thought.

I just don't want my family to be busy and ignorant for generations, someone must go to see the immortal road like my uncle did." Although Xia'er's tone was weak, her determination could be seen from the unwavering expression on her face.

"In that case, I will test the bloodline of these two children."

Seeing her sincere and resolute attitude, Li Yuan remembered Li Yunming's talent, stretched out his hand and lifted the two five or six-year-old children in front of him.

"Thank you, Master!" Xia'er said to the two children excitedly, "Ming'er, Yue'er, you must listen to Master and do whatever he tells you to do, okay?"

"I know, mother!"

The two children responded with a smile.

Li Yuan first picked up the girl's wrist and injected a trace of magic power into her body. He unexpectedly found it was very smooth.

He didn't have a special instrument to test spiritual roots, but he could also judge by the affinity of the spiritual roots to spiritual energy. This degree was at least much stronger than when he first started practicing, so it was very likely that he was a person of excellent character.

He didn't say anything, but pinched the boy's wrist again, and this time he found that the boy's spiritual affinity was higher than that of the girl.

Li Yuan was somewhat surprised. Both of these children had spiritual roots, and they were quite good. Was this blood relationship? How could one family produce two spiritual root children?

Even though Yunzhou City is a place where immortals and mortals live together, many old disciples will settle down in this city after their paths become hopeless, marry and reproduce, so the proportion of spiritual roots appearing in this city is much higher than in the other three states.

But there are two people in the family who have superior character, or even earth-grade spiritual roots, which means that there must be something extraordinary in their blood.

Seeing that Li Yuan remained silent for a long time, Xia'er asked anxiously, "Master Immortal, is it possible for my two children to cultivate immortality?"

Li Yuan nodded and smiled: "Yes, these two children do have immortal roots.

However, in another year, it will be time for the Immortal Sect to recruit disciples. At that time, you can go directly to the Immortal Sect’s recruitment office to test your spiritual roots, and then you can enter the Immortal Sect.

I will take good care of them when the time comes. If they have any difficulties after entering the sect, they can come to me."

"Yes! Thank you, Master Immortal? Thank you, Master Immortal!"

Xia'er bowed excitedly.

Li Yuan didn't stay any longer and disappeared in a flash.

It's not that he didn't do enough filial piety for Li Yunming, but too much talk will lead to mistakes. Li Yunming's family is not stupid or foolish. If he stays longer, if he talks too much, it will ruin their efforts and all the letters written by Master Chen Guanfeng.

As long as I am willing to come and visit her every once in a while, and keep up the lie until the old woman passes away peacefully, I will have fulfilled Li Yunming's trust.

Although he is not a good person, he is a grateful person.

Li Yuan returned to the mountain gate, but when he arrived at the gate, he saw that the mountain protection formation had risen up at some point. A vast sea of ​​fog enveloped dozens of peaks, and the faintly visible towers and pavilions made the area within a hundred miles look like a fairy palace in the sky.

He was in no mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery at the moment, because once the formation was activated, it would separate the inside and the outside, which meant he could never go back!
Li Yuan felt uneasy. Being a cautious person, he tended to think of things in the worst possible way. Could it be that the sect had encountered a powerful enemy?
Just as he was hesitating whether to leave or stay, a white light suddenly shot out from the formation and wrapped around him, and an irresistible force pulled him to the foot of a mountain.

Li Yuan hurried to see and found that it was Master Chen Guanfeng and a group of elders. He then breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that the white light just now was the ancestor's move to take him into the mountain gate.

No wonder the Crying Star General had the precious talisman but did not use it that day. With such terrifying power of true cultivation, even the late-stage cultivators would not have any ability to resist.

If the ancestor wanted to kill me just now, it would have been enough with just a thought, which would be easier than crushing an ant to death.

Without true cultivation, one is an ant.

"Junior Brother Li Yuan, you are a little late."

Master Chen Guanfeng smiled and said, “It seems that Junior Brother Li is also someone that the ancestor values.

We still have half a day to go, so let's wait patiently and experience it calmly."

Although Li Yuan didn't understand the situation, he still responded with a gesture of yes.

He stood a little further back, looked up, and found that they were all younger elders.

For example, Cui Huaiqiu standing behind Master Chen Guanfeng, and the other five people standing around him, are all elders who look energetic and young.

There are the three elders of Qi Feng, Wang Wuju, Wang Lenghao, and Wang Lengchan, all of whom are young and capable, with great potential.

In addition, there is Chun Ziyin of Lingfeng, who practices a rare way of sound. Although he is low-key and mysterious, he is famous and no one dares to offend him easily.

The last one was a pretty woman wearing a Xiangyun gauze dress and emitting a faint strange fragrance. Li Yuan had specially checked the list of elders, but there was no one who matched this woman.

He just looked at her twice more, and the woman seemed to notice and turned back to smile at him, like a blooming flower, which made him feel good. He felt that the woman in front of him was a gentle and kind girl.

Li Yuan's heart trembled, and the inner demon that had been suppressed a little began to become restless again. He had to turn his head away quickly and observe the surrounding environment.

The place where the eight of them were standing was at the foot of Jiupan Peak in the Qifeng area. This was one of the places with the richest spiritual energy in the entire mountain gate and was located at the node of the earth veins.

There is also a large formation around Jiupan Peak, which gathers spiritual power from all directions and makes the spiritual energy on the top of the mountain reach the most concentrated level.

On the top of the mountain, there was a man sitting cross-legged, his hair and beard fluttering in the wind, his wide robe swaying in the wind. Although his eyes were closed, he looked majestic without being angry.

"Master Wang Qiu!"

Li Yuan reacted instantly and realized that this was Wang Qiufeng's main attempt to break through his true cultivation!
When he thought of this, even though it was not his own breakthrough, he couldn't help but feel a little excited. Being able to see the experience of predecessors who had achieved true breakthroughs was much better than the experience gained from words and deeds.

According to rumors within the sect, Peak Master Wang Qiu is indeed approaching his age limit. If he does not break through, his energy and blood will begin to be insufficient after he turns 150, and after he turns 180, it will be almost impossible for him to succeed.

This is only possible if some magical item with supernatural powers is used, or if there is some legacy from some powerful being.

The Qi Ling Sect has been passed down for thousands of years, and naturally has a very complete experience inheritance for breaking through true cultivation.

Judging from the scene at the mountain gate, it was probably more likely to be a bigger one than Helian Wei's. Otherwise, there would be no need to seal the mountain and start the battle formation, and call in a group of elders to observe.

However, Li Yuan was still somewhat surprised that he could catch the old ancestor's eye. After all, apart from being young, his other external qualities were extremely poor.

Li Yuan thought for a while and suddenly realized that the spiritual energy around him began to change.

With Jiupan Peak as the center, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth slowly flowed like water. Unlike the [Upper Sunrise Floating Earth] that Helian Wei sought, the vision of Wangqiu Peak Master was much more gentle and secretive. After half a day, dark clouds had gathered above the peak. The night sky was hazy with the Chinese moon, and the tall Jiupan Peak stood as if worshiping the moon.

Duan Ze beside him couldn't help but ask: "Master Wang Feng has been accumulating spirits for a long time, why hasn't he used the Taoist ginseng to swallow the spirit and transform into a god?
If this continues, I'm afraid Master Wang Feng won't be able to hold on."

Upon hearing this, Chen Guan looked at the mountains calmly and explained, "What Senior Brother Wang Qiu cultivates is Wu Earth. Wu Earth is haze and fog in the sky, and mountains and peaks on the ground. It needs to be combined and transformed, and Wu and Gui are the easiest to combine and transform.

The Taoist scriptures say: Wu and Gui combine to transform into fire. If you meet Yi, you will eventually become successful. If you meet Ren, you will also prosper.

Now we need to restrain the energy of Guishui, and when the Yanghuo is high, it will shine in all directions and survive by borrowing the sun. Only in this way can we combine the Tao image of Wutu, and then we can borrow a trace of Tao power from Wutu between heaven and earth to develop magical powers.

This method of seeking truth is an ancient method, called the method of seeking truth in accordance with the Tao, and is also the most orthodox method.

Senior Brother Helian used a new method called the Dao-Seeking Truth Method. It isolated himself from external objects and nurtured the spirituality of the Dao within his body. When he broke through, he would appear between heaven and earth and use the power of a certain Dao to become a god.

"

"So that's how it is. Thank you for your advice, Junior Brother." Duan Ze replied gratefully.

"Then may I ask Peak Master, can the ancient method and the new method be compared in terms of merit?" Wang Lengchan on the side said thoughtfully.

"The ancient method is the orthodox ancient method that the ancient cultivators comprehended in ancient times or even more ancient times. It's a pity that the ancient method is not popular now, and it's difficult to combine the Tao, so the difficulty is a bit greater. After all, this method has strict requirements on many details such as the state of heaven and earth and even the time and direction.

Although the new method is easy to accomplish, it lacks the aura of nature and heaven compared to the ancient method. Perhaps there is no difference between the strong and the weak when it comes to real practice and fighting, but in terms of the illusory numerology, the ancient method is more in line with it.

Of course, we don’t need to think too much. Being able to achieve true cultivation is already a blessing from heaven, so why should we care about other things? Fellow disciples, please don’t aim too high! "

"Yes! Thank you Master Feng for your teachings!" Everyone responded with praise.

But after listening to what Chen Guan said, Li Yuan's heart sank again, because according to the classification of ancient and new methods he mentioned, the true secret of spiritual communication with the lower Yuan is the ancient method.

But Li Yuan would not think of changing to practice other methods. It would be more difficult to break through the foundation by practicing the Lower Yuan True Art, but if he practiced other techniques, there would be no possibility for him to build a foundation.

Soon, several people stood in the dark night all night until the sun rose the next day.

On the Jiupan Mountain, the sky was filled with morning glow, and clouds of fire were like smoke. The rosy glow illuminated the earth. The Jiupan Peak was towering into the clouds, and the veins of the earth were crisscrossed. Even if many disciples knew nothing about it, they could tell that big changes had taken place just by looking at the rosy glow in the sky.

Li Yuan and his companions stared at Peak Master Wang Qiu intently, fearing that they would miss any detail.

On the clouds, the two ancestors were also looking at the strange scene below.

Taoist Yuhe revealed a trace of worry in his eyes, and said, "Brother, you are too impatient. Wang Qiu's dharma cultivation has not yet reached perfection, right? Are you urging him to break through like this?"

The one-eyed old man had no expression on his face, and said calmly: "It will take at least ten years to complete it. By then, I'm afraid his energy and blood will be depleted. It's better to fight hard now.

Whether it succeeds or not, it is in the best interests of the sect."

"Brother, you are too paranoid.

Disciples and relatives all put the sect first. In Yunming's case, although you saved a few people, how tragic is it for him?"

"Sad?" Wang Xun shook his head. "That's fate. Yun Ming was already dead when he was found to have a low-grade spiritual root."

"Why didn't you intercept him and raise him in seclusion back then, senior brother?" Yu He still refused to give up.

"Useless efforts will bring disaster to the sect." The one-eyed old man couldn't help but sigh: "Even if you can hide it for a while, you can't hide it forever.

The power of the upper sect is beyond your and my comprehension. If Yunming is left behind, the sect will probably be destroyed in less than a hundred years.

Living in this vast swamp of mud, if you take a wrong step, you will be doomed.

"Junior sister, your mind has been influenced too much by your magical powers. When I am gone, how can you support the 3,800-year-old inheritance of the Qiling Sect?"

"But brother, taking Wang Qiu's life to test it is too..."

"I said, whether it succeeds or not, it's a great achievement."

Wang Xun sighed, "Which is more important, his life or the life of the entire sect or even the situation of Guangyuan Mountain Range?
The phenomenon of the sea flooding the ground is so obvious that we can’t delay any longer. We must verify whether the beast tide is real or not and make preparations early.”

"But with such sacrifice, even if it is proven, who else in the sect is more confident than Helian Wei and Wang Qiu in achieving true cultivation?"

Taoist Yuhe said helplessly: "Even if the Qian family disciple succeeds, he cannot hold the power.

As for Ruan Jinghu, I'm afraid it will take at least sixty years for him to succeed. "Distant water cannot quench nearby fire."

Wang Xun just shook his head and said, "Someone will succeed. When I was young, my master once laughed at me and said that I was a cunning rabbit with three burrows, but it was still not enough.

My time is not far away. Even if I achieve the fifth level, I can only increase my lifespan by thirty years at most. If I fail, my lifespan will end immediately. I will naturally make more preparations for the mountain gate."

Taoist Yuhe was slightly stunned when he heard this, "Who else could it be?"

She cast her gaze towards the disciples at the foot of Jiupan Peak, and after taking a look at them one by one, she found that the potential of these disciples was only average, with a 50% to 10% chance.

Only Chen Guan's request for [Shang Yi Qian] is more likely. If Huai Qiu can get rid of his inner demons, it is also very likely. As for the other disciples, they have not even reached the perfection of bone condensation.

……

On the top of Jiupan Peak, the rays of light are brilliant, the peak stands alone, and the image of Tao has been formed.

A high mountain rises from the ground. When it rises a hundred feet, it suddenly bends at the waist, like a crescent moon floating up. It looks like a dangerous mountain of rubble, with the peak facing the sun.

"This is... [Fuque Mountain]!"

Wang Wuju at the foot of the mountain had a twinkle in his eyes, "I am trying to save the world and open up a new path. The mountain is no longer a mountain, and my life is no longer my life!
The magical power of mind, [Fuque Mountain]!"

Chen Guan raised his eyes to look at the sky full of rosy clouds, but when the giant mountain rose up, everything collapsed, the colors disappeared and turned into darkness, thunder roared, and rain fell on the mountain.

"It won't work!"

He closed his eyes slightly tiredly, sighed, and turned away.

In the heavy rain, the mountains were covered with water and the earth was difficult to descend. Wang Qiu, who was sitting on the top of the mountain, had a sad face. He was not unwilling or angry, but he could not be open-minded even when facing death. He stared blankly at the Taoist ginseng that he had nurtured for many years and his life's work was gone with the rain.

Wang Qiu looked up at the sky, his face covered with raindrops, and said sadly: "The immortal road is just like the fluff in the wind, scattered when young and scattered when old, all become the dust in this wind and rain.

"Ancestor, I bid you farewell!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the sky was filled with wind and rain, thunder rumbled, mountain torrents and rock torrents flowed, the Jiupan Peak was broken, and the Solitary Mountain was no longer connected.
