Destiny is ashes

Chapter 676 Ming and Guang (6000)

The overall structure of Chenli is similar to a √ shape, and within this √ there is a √-shaped mountain range inlaid, in which the five sects are distributed.

[Yuyuan Mountain Liuguang Sect] is located on the outermost plain in the western part of Chenli, [Jiankong Mountain Mingjing Sect] is located in the middle of the left side of the √-shaped mountain range in the western part of Chenli, [Xushen Mountain Taiming Sect] is located in the basin in the center of the √-shaped mountain range, [Meiyu Mountain Zuohuan Sect] is located on the right side of the √-shaped mountain range, and [Hongfu Mountain Huangyang Sect] is located on the outermost plain and the sea in the east.

To the southwest of Chenli is the Xishan area of ​​Dachen, and across the sea to the west is the Taiyuan Mountains area of ​​Yaoling, and to the north is the chaotic Tianhai and the Arctic ice field ravaged by blizzards all day long.

The ice field is not a continent, but extremely cold and frozen sea water. It is said that under the tens of thousands of miles thick ancient black ice there are still remnants of the original sea of ​​creation left by the great immortal Huaixu when the world was created, which possesses incredible power.

Some even say that in the deepest part of the dark and ancient Arctic Ocean, where there is no light or temperature, the blood of ancient beasts is sleeping silently. These ancient beasts that occasionally awaken are as huge as mountains. Just by turning over, they are enough to stir up the undercurrent at the bottom of the ice field, causing the ice field to constantly collapse and reorganize, making the entire Arctic ice field change endlessly.

A cold mountain range along the coast of the glacier, 80,000 miles north of the Jiankong Mountains.

Deep in the rugged mountains where few people go, there is a magical cave called "Youfeng Cave".

The five Shenzang-level demon kings were naturally peaceful and had complementary abilities. Unlike other mountain and sea demons, they did not fight each other. Therefore, they united together and formed a second-rate demon sect.

In the Huaixu Realm, it is not people who determine who is in the mainstream, but the way of heaven, which is the heavenly law set by the Taoist court in the past.

Without the Holy Lord, without the blessed land and cave heaven, without the favor of the Great Dao, one cannot be called an inner sect, cannot be listed in the Heavenly Book of the Dao Court, cannot enter the world-famous Ten Heavens and One Hundred and Eight Mountains, Eight Hundred Cave Heavens and Three Thousand Blessed Lands. Naturally, there will be no luck given by the Heaven, and there will be few life-sustaining disciples in the sect, and no successors.

If a human sect had no successors, it would be like an ant that is born and dies quickly, rising quickly and then falling, with a cycle of birth and death every hundred years.

But demon spirits have a long lifespan, and without successors there will be nothing. Especially among the Five Spirits of Youfeng Cave, one is a willow wood demon spirit that has lived for 20,000 years. It even experienced the [Demon-Slaying Era] when the evil remnants of the Yushen Court were wiped out by the Chenli sects, which were still six or seven sects at that time.

As long as it is alive, Youfeng Cave will not die.

The remaining four spirits also have their own magical powers: one is a stone ape born from a huge rock that was conceived by the light of heaven, one is a giant turtle in the North Sea, one is a tree snake that lives in trees, and one is the Everlight jellyfish that lurks in the deep sea.

Simply put, it means longevity!

The Five Spirits transformed the feng shui around the mountains and created a small blessed land in the extreme cold with the willow spirit as the center to protect the surrounding creatures. Some ice field humans also joined in, responsible for making some equipment and talismans, building cities and strongholds, and together resisting the occasional attacks of ferocious beasts and demons.

For thousands of years, Youfeng Cave has been considered a pure land. Although life there is a little dull, it can be said to be peaceful.

But things started to change more than ten years ago when the vast sea demon disaster and frost catastrophe began.

First, the number of demons in the northern border increased suddenly, and all kinds of demonized beasts and evil demons that were far more powerful than before continued to emerge like waves. The Five Chenli Sects, which had never cared about such a wild area, also began to send their sect members to go around to suppress the demons and kill some evil spirits that did not obey their orders.

Logically speaking, Youfengdong, who often does good deeds, doesn't have to worry about this.

But as the saying goes, old people become more cunning, and old monsters become even more cunning.

The monster has lived for so many years, but still doesn’t understand the attitude of humans towards work?

It would be fine if the other party asked, because they knew they were good monsters and loyal subjects. What they were most afraid of was that this group of people would come and beat them up, and then fiercely interrogate them about the reason why they and other monsters colluded with the devil. Only then would they realize that they had beaten the wrong people, and ended up silencing them to cover up the shame... There would be no way to reason with them then.

This is not a joke.

Three thousand four hundred miles east of Youfeng Cave, there is a demon cave set up by a group of rat demons and Kun demons. There are also seven divine demon kings in it, who rule over thousands of miles of mountain areas and live a very happy life.

But suddenly, more than a dozen sect masters suddenly appeared around the demon cave, chasing and killing a cultivator who was also a human.

The two sides fought a fierce battle, and the aftermath shattered the demon cave, killing hundreds of thousands of intelligent creatures in an instant.

The seven Shenzang demon kings still wanted to resist, but that was a true teaching from the master. They were no match for these country Shenzang. They were simply wild Shenzang refreshed in the wild. It wouldn't take them more than two hits. They were all scared to death soon.

The group of human gods who were chasing him were ruthless. They refined the souls of all the living beings who died in the surrounding area into ghosts, and used them as ammunition for their magical powers to bombard the human cultivator. The cultivator then used a mirror to block their attacks, and probably refined their souls and spirits into ghosts.

However, the human cultivator who was being hunted was different. He noticed the Youfeng Cave on his escape path, and used his great magical power to reverse the light and shadow, escaping in another direction. For a moment, the group of human cultivators could not find his trace. They killed all the surviving rats and Kun monsters in the monster cave as a way of venting their anger, and continued to track him after replenishing some ammunition.

The Five Spirits of Youfeng Cave trembled in fear as they watched this group of gods, most likely from the Taiming Sect, hunting down and killing human beings and silencing the demons in the demon cave.

No matter how you look at it, there were hundreds of thousands or even a million intelligent creatures, and they all died within two quarters of an hour. If Youfeng Cave had not reinforced the mountain formation to resist the frost disaster, and the formation base was also the body of a natural spirit like the willow spirit, which was highly concealed, they would have definitely died.

But fortunately, this is just a civil war among humans. They left after killing everyone, and there is a high probability that they will never come back.

In the final analysis, there are no treasures in this desolate mountain and icy sea, and the earth veins are barely enough for a few divine treasures to be used for daily practice and treasure refining. It is purely useless, and the strong men from the major human forces will never come here.

After some time, the frost disaster came and went just as suddenly as it had come. Because the nearby demon cave was destroyed, many more ownerless spirit veins appeared. The death of the seven demon spirits also nourished this world, adding many more spiritual objects and spiritual places. The influence of Youfeng Cave increased a lot, and the whole cave breathed a sigh of relief. Life gradually became more affluent. It was considered that they had survived this disaster and there was a great sign of prosperity.

Upon seeing this, the five demon spirits also began to teach widely, preparing to select a group of suitable disciples from the endless demon spirits and humans in the mountains, to expand their influence and consolidate the newly acquired spiritual land veins.

After all, in this wilderness, only by teaching and ruling over a region can one gain some fortune.

The five hidden demon spirits revealed their true forms on the large ice stage along the coast, and the demon spirits and humans below the stage could sense the methods of the five demon kings. Those who could withstand the pressure and feel close to the aura of one side would be considered to meet the requirements and would be accepted as disciples of Youfeng Cave and slowly trained in the future.

This is the method used by small sects in the countryside to recruit disciples: simple, rough, and effective. Although many hidden seeds will be eliminated, those who can be selected represent real talents - anyway, no one will compete with them, and this place can't support too many warriors.

Among them, there was a clam monster that showed extraordinary talent. It opened its body, and in the soft pink clam meat, a round, white pearl shone brightly, and suddenly a beautiful human girl with a delicate face was projected, wearing a milky white gauze dress, with shy and pure eyebrows and a smile on the corner of her mouth. After noticing the gazes of everyone, she bowed slightly.

Then, the light and shadow changed again, transforming into a young warrior with red lips and white teeth, a heroic appearance, a sword at his waist, and a handsome appearance. He drew out the sword, and although there was no sound, a clanging sound rang in the hearts of all the little demon humans who were watching.

This is the innate ability of the clam monster. It is very likely that its ancestors have the blood of mirages. It can project and transform into many strange images, and can even create a small world in its own bead in the dream shadow, which is similar to the formation world and demon pill in the body. It has unique advantages in both martial arts and true spirit.

Next, the clam monster projected many lifelike monsters that were hard to tell whether they were real or fake: a tiger, a whale,
This kind of excellent little demon seed immediately attracted the interest of the jellyfish spirit, which was also good at illusion and was also a sea demon. It was just about to speak and take down the young clam demon, but saw the clam demon project again.

This time, what it projected was not a person, but...

itself.

A clam monster that also has a bluish-white shell, pink clam meat, and a shining pearl.

Seeing this scene, not only Yong Guangling was moved, the other four demon kings also looked sideways.

Because what the clam monster projected was not a simple projection, but a means similar to incarnation and almost supernatural power - the projected clam monster itself did not have any magical powers, but it was exactly the same as its original body, whether it was the circulation of spiritual energy or vitality.

It sounds ordinary, but it proves one thing, that is, this clam monster has a control over its own body and even its spirit far beyond most intelligent life forms.

This incarnation projection that is almost like the 'second self' only needs to practice along this path in the future, and he will definitely be able to advance to the martial veins and even the divine treasure, and become the sixth spirit of their Youfeng Cave, or even surpass them!
The only thing that troubles all the monsters is that they don't have any spirits, including Yongguang who is good at this. Yongguang is good at creating illusions and self-transformation, not this method of splitting the spirit and incarnating. This extremely talented little monster may not get much of an education.

It would be a shame to waste this talent, so why not give it to other big sects or big demon spirits?
To be honest, the Five Spirits in Youfeng Cave are just kind-hearted monsters, not stupid. They seldom kill because they are long-lived and self-sufficient. But let alone other monster forces that prey on the weak, there is a high probability that they will eat this little monster in one bite. Even if it is sent to the human race, humans will not teach the true Dharma to a little monster with good talent. If it is a sect with some bad intentions, they may deliberately teach this little monster some cultivation methods with backdoors, allowing it to cultivate itself into a living magic weapon, and become a weapon spirit that cannot be freed in the hands of others.

But at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared on the stage.

The figure had an untidy beard, messy long hair, and was wearing a black robe. His eyes were slightly narrowed, making it difficult to tell whether they were open or closed.

He had a wine gourd slung around his waist. He took a sip and then touched the pearl of the clam monster with one hand.

Instantly, the light spun, the shadows twisted, and in just a moment, the little demon's originally somewhat primitive and hazy mind became clear, and the mixed spirit evil in the body, which was a mixture of water evil, illusionary qi, and green qi, was also washed away, leaving only a trace of mysterious light and clear qi. And the projection of the little clam became clearer and clearer, just like being reflected in a mirror!
The little demon didn't know what kind of fortune had transformed him, but the five demon kings present immediately transformed into human form and knelt down: "Greetings to the Master of the Mirror Sect!"

The Mingjing Sect Master took another sip of wine, opened his eyes slightly, and looked around.

With just this one glance, shadowy figures of souls appeared on the sides of all the demons and humans present - some were surrounded by clear light, while others were shrouded in gray light. But generally speaking, all the creatures present were kind people with very few curses on them, especially the five demon kings in Youfeng Cave, each of them was protected by clear light and auspicious clouds.

"good."

The real person waved his hand, and all the shadows disappeared: "It's much better than the previous forces."

He turned his head and looked at the body of the old man transformed by the willow wood spirit: "You, come here, I have something to ask you."

"Also, I'm taking this little fellow with me. You guys are wasting its talent here. In my hands, it can at least pass the third level of Shenzang and become a true disciple of my Mingjing Sect."

"It is a blessing for this little demon to be valued by the real person." Old man Liumu stepped forward and bowed, then came to the side and communicated with the real person from Mingjing Sect.

Soon, it was glad that it had always been kind to others.

Because, this real person from the Mingjing Sect came here to track down the real person who was hunted down by the real person who could control ghosts and gods a few years ago!

So far, he has eliminated more than twenty mountain forces of all sizes along the way, such as the King Pan's Court in the sea three thousand miles to the north. The sea water was boiled by the light of the sun, and the entire Pan Crab clan was turned into a pot of soup; for example, the Flower Demon Mountain four thousand miles to the west was entirely pulled out and melted, leaving no flowers, not even a weed seed.

Even some human towns settled in the mountains were completely razed to the ground, and nearly 10,000 people were killed. There was no special reason, because the custom of that human town was to kill other human tribes as slaves and materials. It was a real bloody magic town, and it was probably the work of the Tianyi Demon Cult.

This Mingjing Sect's real man killed his way here, and he only encountered a force in Youfeng Cave that had relatively normal brains. Not to mention, this group of monsters actually witnessed the chase and siege.

"You actually saw Junior Brother Su Ran being hunted before his death... He found you, but in order not to harm you, or in other words, in order to leave evidence, he took a detour."

After learning the truth, the rather decadent squinting man took another sip of wine and sighed, "I never expected it... Fortunately, I found you first, otherwise, you would have been silenced."

How could the willow spirit not know this? It immediately fell to the ground and said, "I hope you can save my life!"

"Simple."

The immortal raised his wine gourd. In the gourd, silver wine sparkled, like a mirror that was constantly shaking and twisting. "Use the mirror as the way, enter my formation, and when you all arrive at the Mingjing Sect, I will naturally be able to protect you witnesses."

"The righteousness of the master is beyond our ability to repay!"

Hearing this, Liu Muling was immediately overjoyed - this meant that country people could get city hukou, and the wild people in the mountains were being recruited by the clan!
Not to mention that the other party might want to refine his group of people. With the strength of this true disciple, it would only take a few breaths to kill all these country demon kings. There is no need to waste energy on deceiving himself.

It is true that everyone is at the Shenzang realm, but just as among mortals, a super master who has learned fighting can easily defeat a few weak and sickly people, the gap between Shenzang is also ridiculously large.

Even if they really want to kill me, so what?

The other party could have killed them directly, but he lied. It is really an honor for them to make Master Dazong lie!
"May I ask your Dharma name?"

Before entering the formation, old man Liumu asked.

"Xuanyu." The immortal said: "Beiyu Xuanyu, bright and light."

Master Xuan Yu uses the array realm in his body to accommodate the entire family of Youfeng Cave. When they enter the array realm, they will become unconscious and imprisoned, falling into a "confinement" state, which is no different from being suppressed by the Dharma Realm, or even stronger.

"It is indeed the Taiming Sect, and there are Taiming Sect's followers... Junior Brother Su Ran is really unlucky. At that time, he was the only one around the Arctic Ice Field, and he was not as good at the Taixu Method as Junior Brother, otherwise he should have been able to escape."

After doing all this, he planned to fly back to the sect to report this important discovery to his master and other uncles and uncles.

The junior brother he mentioned was naturally the orphan who, like him, took the surname Ming from the Mingjing Sect, namely Liuyang Xuanjing Mingguangchen.

However, Mingguangchen was snatched from the True Demon Sect by Chen Yinzi, while Ming Heguang was a very ordinary orphan from the Chenli tribe. Because of his outstanding talent, he was accepted into the outer sect of the Mingjing Sect, and then entered the inner sect under the step-by-step training of Chen Yinzi and became a true disciple. Now he is also a well-known Shenzang Zhenren among the younger generation of the Mingjing Sect.

Due to his talent and fate, his strength was not as good as his junior brother. Ming Heguang didn't feel much about this, because his fate [Glorious Days] meant that he was used to self-cultivation and his mind was pure and positive - that was his junior brother who he had watched grow up, how could he be jealous?
His only dissatisfaction was that this junior fellow was always mysterious. Even though there were a lot of troubles outside, he was always unwilling to tell him and the master, and wanted to handle everything by himself.

We are all family, why are we so distant and distant? Just like the battle in Kanming City, if Ming Guangchen was willing to say it, he would be there immediately. How could he allow others to besiege him like that? Couldn't the two of them, Xiaomingfeng, advance and retreat together?
Fortunately, his junior fellow apprentice did not die, and turned a disaster into a blessing, becoming a True Lord, and also accepted a nephew with extremely great talents. It was really a good thing that came in pairs.

I heard that my nephew is going to return to the sect soon. What gift should I prepare as an elder? Should I also prepare to accept a disciple? The little clam monster just now is not bad. Although it is definitely not as good as my nephew, it is almost enough. As long as he is willing to practice diligently in the future, at least he will be able to become a real person.

Halfway through the flight, he received a message from his master.

[He Guang, come back quickly, your nephew is coming back, and all of us at Xiaoming Peak must be present! ]

"Understood, Master."

Ming Heguang laughed loudly, and immediately accelerated, turning into a mysterious stream of light and disappearing.

Soon, he returned to Mingjing Sect.

For Zhenren Shenzang, if he concentrates on traveling and does not pay attention to the situation on the roadside, his speed will be incredibly fast - tens of thousands of miles can be covered in just a few hours.

When he returned to the sect, the first thing Xuanyu Zhenren saw was a square Jingguan stacked at the sect gate.

The bodies had been taken away, but the heads were neatly laid out, with a traitor sign hung by Mingjing Sect next to them, detailing the crimes of each head.

"Good guy."

Ming Heguang opened his left eye slightly, took a sip of wine, and thought about what he had heard about Hongta City some time ago. He had a guess in his mind: "Could it be that this was the work of my master's nephew?"

"As soon as he entered the sect, he killed people to show off his power and domineering attitude. This is a character who wants to do great things. He can't be easily dismissed. It's interesting. After so many years of boring and tug-of-war, the sect must become interesting again."

Ming and Guang were obviously not very happy with the situation in the sect in the past, so they were always carrying out missions outside.

But now, looking at the situation, with the arrival of his great nephew, the Mingjing Sect will definitely not be boring!

After entering the sect and finding a place to release everyone from Youfeng Cave, Ming and Guang were about to go find their master Chen Yinzi and their good nephew An Jing, but they found that they could not contact Chen Yinzi. They were immediately surprised: "What happened? Wasn't he still in the sect before? How come we can't contact him all of a sudden?"

"unless……"

He raised his head and looked thoughtfully at the main peak of Mingjing Sect, which was faintly surrounded by other peaks. The pillar of heaven that looked like a lifting hand was on Mingjing Mountain.

Sure enough, the strange phenomenon suddenly increased.

Or maybe it was a coincidence, just when Ming Heguang looked up at the top of the ancestral peak of Mingjing Mountain, a ray of void mirror light rose up and pierced the sky, instantly piercing through the clouds and the endless sky, revealing a dark area like a wound, and the void was like the non-existent Taiyu Galaxy!
Under the illumination of the mirror light, many stars in the sky appeared from the dark void, flickering and shaking constantly, and a void divine mirror also faintly revealed part of its own brilliance, attracting all the people in the Mingjing Sect to bend down, and even kneel on the ground to salute!
Because that was the shadow of the Mingjing Sect's treasure, the fragment of the Haotian Mirror!
"It's incredible. The last time we encountered this situation, it was Guangchen and Su Ran's generation of five people who achieved the Divine Hidden Realm together, right? But this time, there is only one person..."

Looking up in astonishment at the turbulent Sky Mirror Void, Ming and Guang also bowed, then took a big sip of wine and said with great emotion: "Same as Guangchen... but more powerful and more extreme."

"My good nephew...really made quite a fuss!"
