Wet viviparity

Chapter 938 Golden Rooster, Taiwu Affairs
Upon hearing this, all the other masters understood.

Lu Zhenjun transmitted his voice to Ji Ming and said: "The clan system of the Zhenling Sect originated from the Ji and Jiang families, but it flourished when Zheng Yin and Zhao Tan established the Zheng and Zhao families. The so-called 'punishment does not apply to the main clan' and 'the collateral branches are prohibited by law' were all things that happened during the internal struggles of the sects at that time."

Now, some insightful people within the True Spirit Sect, seeing that our sect has undergone a complete reform and is beginning to achieve its hegemony, also wish to follow the example of Mount Taiwu, eliminating the old malpractices in one fell swoop and carrying out reforms.

The leader among them was a respected elder of the Ji family. He always regarded the teachers and elders who were indulged and protected by various families, as well as the wicked and lawless children, as enemies, especially the people from the Zhao and Zheng families, whom he wished could be eliminated as soon as possible.

If you can eradicate the Zhao family's malignant tumor, this person will surely be willing to offer up that divine technique.

Lu Zhenjun mentioned a story about Mount Taiwu, which Ji Ming couldn't recall at first, but gradually remembered it after the Zhenjun finished speaking.

His knowledge of this matter stemmed from Ding Mingyu, the mother of his disciple Ding Ruyi, who was a swordswoman in Mount Taiwu during her lifetime.

The so-called Taiwu Mountain story is about the time when the first patriarch of the Taiwu Mountain sect ascended to heaven. Because the second patriarch died young and it was a time of great chaos, he did not pass on his mantle or establish a successor, which led to his disciples establishing their own sects and recruiting many followers.

They accept disciples without considering their aptitude, and transmit the Dharma according to their own will, regardless of their character. They attribute this to fate, and the people they accept do not reveal their true nature when they are young, but as time goes by, they commit many evils. The teachers then protect them, completely forgetting the rules of pure cultivation of the Zhongtian lineage.

These people were originally from the same source and shared lineage, but afterwards they split into thousands of different schools and sects, attacking each other and becoming as estranged as ice and charcoal.

Over time, the sect's morals declined and its virtues diminished. Even though the patriarch of the Divine Longevity Sect manifested his power several times, they ultimately turned against each other, resorting to violence. It was a sad and lamentable situation.

At that time, an elder in Taiwu Mountain, concerned about the sect's impending demise, traveled around explaining the pros and cons to the leaders of various factions. Unexpectedly, this caused several of his fellow disciples to turn against him, and the elder was beaten and nearly killed.

After much agonizing reflection, he executed all the villains under his command, and among them, those who were still of good character, he allowed to be reborn through the cycle of death.

After communicating with others for many years, they finally invited Jin Chanzi, a master from the Great Pure Yang Palace who was also of the Zhongtian lineage, to come. Jin Chanzi then became a disciple of the Shenshou ancestral tablet in the Taiwu Mountain Ancestral Hall and received a copy of the "Wordless Heavenly Book" from the Shenshou ancestor.

From then on, Jin Chanzi understood the secrets of both families, and his skills became even more extraordinary. When the elders summoned the second gathering at Taiwu Mountain, he cleansed up the sects, unleashing a massacre that left countless heads rolling. Even immortals could not control him and were banished to the mortal realm.

Thus, the name of the Golden Toad Immortal, a descendant of the Zhongtian lineage of Mount Taiwu, spread far and wide.

The power of role models is boundless. The True Spirit Sect and Taiwu Mountain are in similar situations now, and they need to bring in a powerful master from the same lineage to clean up their own sect.

Ji Ming thought for a moment and realized that if he could obtain a divine technique, he wouldn't mind taking another sect master as his teacher, helping the True Spirit Sect clean up its own ranks, slaughtering everyone in that sect, wiping out the evil Zhao family, and he would even be happy to take the Zheng family down with him.

Seeing that Ji Ming already understood, Master Ganxiong revealed the secret, saying, "Once we unite with the Ji family and eliminate the Zhao family, the people will be united. In the end, we only need to wait for the right time and the right place to be. Zhao Tan will be trapped in the calamity between Turtle Mountain and Snake Ridge. No matter how much magic power he has or how many transformations he can make, he will have to face the calamity and suffer."

Even so, according to my calculations, Zhao Tan still has some remaining life force. A tremendous change is needed to completely erase his life force and make him a ghost in the underworld again.

"I!"

Upon hearing the word "variable," Ji Ming felt that the patriarch was referring to him.

He was well aware of his own abilities.

He wouldn't feel much pressure if he were to fight and kill Zen Master Caihu, Immortal Nazhen, and others in the future, but as for facing Zhao Tan, the deputy commander of Shenxiao, the difference in strength was hard to imagine, and he didn't have much confidence in this matter.

Ji Ming ultimately chose to believe in his master, saying, "This disciple will simply obey orders."

"No rush. Slow and steady wins the race. Zhao Tan has gathered all the spirits and gods to search for the source of the disaster. It will take many years. During this time, you will have enough time to advance your cultivation and fully comprehend the power of reversing the five elements. When Zhao Tan is deeply mired in tribulations, that will be the time for you to eliminate the Zhao family's supporters."

"I foresee that this matter concerning the Zhao family will cause you much trouble, but once you overcome it, attaining immortality will be just a thought away." Seeing that Patriarch Ganxiong was knowledgeable and had a well-thought-out plan, speaking calmly and composedly, Ji Ming felt much more at ease. The gloom that Zhao Tan had cast over him lessened considerably, and he even felt that it would be good for him to be able to train harder under the Patriarch's guidance.

Master Yang smiled and said, "I am a fellow Daoist of the same generation as that person from the Ji family. We have a long-standing friendship, so I will act as the liaison."

After the matter was settled, the patriarchs and the True Lords began to close the cave heaven and escape from the underworld. Before leaving, the patriarchs left a message saying: "If Zhao Tan can stop his anger and understand the consequences within forty-nine days, and apologize to you, this matter can still be turned from resentment to good fortune."

Once the seven-seven count has passed, if you do not see Commander Zhao apologize to you within the sect, there will be no chance for him to reconcile. After that, you should go into seclusion in the Divine Palace and wait for the opportune moment.

"A single strike is all it takes to secure victory."

After the patriarchs left, Ji Ming muttered these words to himself.

He had originally planned to go to the grotto-heaven after everything was settled to discuss with the patriarchs whether there was another method to refine the tribulation thoughts. But now, it seems that if Zhao Tan does not come to clear up the misunderstanding, the divine method will be his for the taking, and there is no need to look for another method.

"never mind?"

Lei approached and asked blankly.

In the tense moment before, he was protecting Ji Ming and the immortals of Taiping Mountain in front of him. When Zhao Tan left, he suddenly lost consciousness and only now has he regained consciousness. He didn't ask about what had just happened, knowing that the less he knew, the safer he would be.

"Who said everything's alright?"

Ji Ming turned to look at Lei with a strange expression, and said to the void outside him, "Great Immortal, you may now appear."

"Who?" Upon hearing that there were immortals present, Lei became like a frightened bird, frantically looking left and right, pushing forward with alternating palms, the powerful palm strikes shattering the surroundings.

After this initial, almost reactive reaction, he calmed down and realized he had lost his composure. Just as he was blushing deeply, he received a telepathic instruction from Ji Ming and nervously called out, "Old Golden Rooster!"

"Haha, louder!"

Seeing no response from the surroundings, and with Ji Ming encouraging them loudly, they shouted at the top of their lungs, "Scrap chicken!"

"Hehe." When he heard the sounds echoing from all directions, Lei laughed and started shouting happily.

"A mixed-feathered chicken!"

"stingy person!"

"."

"Enough, you blockhead." A clear blue sky appeared outside Ji Ming, with a golden rooster standing in it. Its wings shimmered with golden light, and it was only the size of an ordinary domestic fowl. The moment it appeared, it exuded a reassuring magical power that put Ji Ming at ease.

When did the Golden Boy discover me?

"The star deity has always been very caring towards me, and he always appears whenever there is a great calamity. I think this time will be no exception."

"Haha." The golden rooster laughed loudly, looked at Ji Ming, and raised a subtle curve to its beak. It said, "It wasn't in vain that I put so much effort into you. You know that I can protect you in times of great trouble. You can rest assured that with San Yuan under my protection, Zhao Tan won't be able to use him for a while."
