I use myths to create immortality

Chapter 141: Fate, the Battle between Zhaoyue
Zhaoyue Great Wilderness; northern foothills.

There was a hazy mist between the mountains not far from Daotu Ridge; a thatched hut with pavilions and towers stood in the middle.

The name of the mountain is Yangu; the name of the temple is Juxian Temple. This place is close to the water, facing the sea in the east, Kunwu in the north, and Jiuze Bapo in the south.

Although the place is small, it is an extremely important place in the Zhaoyue Wilderness.

Especially among Zhaoyue, Qi-refining practitioners, unorthodox sects, monsters, sea elves, etc., rarely interact with each other.

Starting from mid to late March every year, thousands of monsters and humans gather around Yangu.

Firstly, there have always been five old immortals on Yanshan Mountain, known as the Five Elders of Beishan. They have been practicing Taoism for thousands of years. Every year at this time, they would hold a forum to preach, discuss the art of Taoism, and teach the techniques of refining and subduing qi.

For some demons, evildoers and independent people with shallow skills, it is a rare opportunity.

Secondly, we can also take this opportunity to make friends and exchange cultivation resources.

In the once austere Juxian Temple, the Five Elders made some temporary decoration on a rare occasion, building palaces, laying gold and jade, wearing golden flowers, and making incense burners.

She also specially selected flower and grass elves from some local exotic plants, and transformed them into delicate and beautiful children, maids, servants, etc.

It is used to serve and entertain the friends and Qigong practitioners from Kunwu, Taiyue, Zhaoyue, Nanshanzhou and other countries and famous mountains who will come to Juxian Temple to help.

On a high place in Juxian Temple, in a corridor and pavilion, Gu Lingmiao, Chen Hai, Xue Lingjue and others were burning incense and brewing tea, and were having a conversation.

"The same goes for my five old guys; they have so many good friends to help them, why do they still need us Kunwu Qigong practitioners?" Wen Lingyang and Dong Lingshan complained.

These newly promoted true disciples have been ordered to come to the Zhaoyue Wilderness to assist the Five Elders of Beishan for several days.

When they arrived at the Juxian Temple, the five elders simply arranged for them to rest and recuperate in the pavilion, and then went to receive other friends.

Therefore, Dong, Wen and many of Kunwu's true disciples were somewhat resentful and felt neglected.

Sitting high on this platform, you can see far.

From time to time, one can see in the sky, there are Qi-refining practitioners riding on strange beasts, or flying on clouds or riding on mist, falling into the Juxian Temple.

"That would be best if we don't need it. There are so many treasures in this wilderness, we can go look for them." Xue Lingche clenched his fist.

"That's right, Senior Brother Lingbao has quietly mastered a magic weapon; we haven't even made one; we are really far behind. If we go to war with the demon clan this time, I will try to snatch two magic weapons." Wen Lingyang agreed very much.

Chen Hai shook his head: "Rob the demon tribe? Forget it. The demon tribe all trains their physical bodies to become divine weapons. They are so poor, what magical weapons can they have?"

“Fellow Daoist Lingkun, you don’t know that the one competing with the Five Elders for the ownership of Zhaoyue this time is called Old Demon Huanyue. He is a ruthless character who came from the Great Wilderness of Jujiao. It is said that he has some good things in his hands.” Xue Lingjue shook his head and chuckled.

"From Jujiao Great Wilderness? Where are you from?"

"Originally, the Green Robe Old Demon of Nanshan was in charge of the Zhaoyue Great Wilderness; but the Five Elders have never been submissive to the old demon."

"Later, the Green Robe Demon angered the Jujiao Domain Yellow Li Demon, who killed him with the Demon's magical weapon, the Void Sun Blade. The entire Nanshan Mountain became empty."

"Two years ago, an old monster came from the Southern Wilderness and occupied most of the southern part of Zhaoyue. In addition, a fierce character named Tongtian Patriarch appeared in the southeastern Black Water Margin. These two families divided the eastern and southern Zhaoyue equally."

"The magic power of Huanyue Lao is very strong. It is said that he has the support of the demon clan. He has magical powers and is good at martial arts. He also has several treasures in his hands, each with its own power."

The Xue family is well-informed, and Xue Lingjue had already found out a lot of information before he came.

At this time, he told the story slowly and everyone nodded repeatedly.

"Oh, right. The old demon Huanyue is in Boyue Villa, 74,000 miles southwest of here. We should not go there alone if we have nothing to do. I heard that the old demon has tens of thousands of followers under his command. In order to compete with the five elders for the fate of Zhaoyue, he is still calling on his friends to help."

Wen Lingyang and his men chuckled when they heard this: "Tens of thousands of minions? It just sounds scary, but what use are they? They are probably just monsters who are just trying to get a meal and join in the fun. There aren't many real demon soldiers."

Xue Lingjue said solemnly, "Otherwise, I heard that the old demon has many good friends. In recent months, many powerful figures have come here. There are at least dozens of good fighters in Boyue Villa."

This is how the fight for territory works in this world.

It is obviously not possible to fight alone.

After all, no matter how powerful a single spell is, it is likely to be suppressed by the spell of an unknown junior.

So to be on the safe side, people usually make a big fuss and attract good friends to help.

Then both sides drew lines, agreed on a time, and began the fight.

This was what happened when Xuanpinzhu and Yinhao Jushi were fighting for the Nine Lakes and Eight Ponds of Nanshan.

However, at that time, Xuanpinzhu's strength was overwhelming; basically, he just had to wait for the other side to gather all their people, and then go over and take them down in one fell swoop.

The same is true now as the Five Elders and the old demon Huanyue compete for Zhaoyue's fate.

One of these two sects had the support of Xuanwei Sect and was constantly in distress. Xuanwei Sect also wanted to train the sect members and sent all the new disciples to help.

The other one has the support of the demon clan, and they also constantly recruit people from the demon clan.

"Senior Sister Xue, you said there is a Taoist priest in Nanshan. What kind of role is he?" Many people asked curiously.

"I heard that he is a hermit immortal who practices in the depths of Nanshan Mountain, in a place called Jin'ao Island. He has a high level of cultivation and has taught more than ten disciples, all of whom are very powerful. But I don't know what kind of methods this Tongtian Patriarch has. I have never heard of him taking action."

Gu Lingmiao frowned: "According to what you said, both families are in Nanshan, so they will fight first, right?"

Ling Jue shook his head: "No; that Tongtian Patriarch has been in Jiuze Babo; he is very low-key and has nothing to do with Huanyue Old Demon. It is said that the old demon does not dare to go to Jiuze Babo."

"I think that Taoist Tongtian is also from the human race. Although he practices unorthodox methods, he should be a kind person who practices Taoism..."

The words have not yet fallen.

His brother Ling Che sneered and said, "Nonsense, what do you know? The Black Water Margin is not a good place. Not to mention the old demon Huanyue, even the senior master of our sect, Dao Miao Shang Zhen, would not dare to go there easily."

"Ah? Why is this?" everyone was surprised.

"Humph, a few months ago, someone in Southern Shanbu Prefecture survived a great tribulation. The founder of the sect speculated that it was the Great Golden Immortal who was undergoing a tribulation and cultivating again. The approximate location was in Black Water Lake."

After all, Xue Lingche is the leader of the younger generation of the Xue family and knows more information.

"The Golden Immortal Great Sage is undergoing a tribulation? Hiss...is this true?" Everyone was horrified.

To Senior Dao Miao, such people are legendary.

The mystery of the Tao among the mysteries of the Tao is only a hair's breadth away from the supreme immortal saint.

There are also numbers in the heavens and myriad worlds. It is truly horrifying when you first hear about it.

"My great-grandfather said it himself, how could it be false? I just don't know if it was the Tongtian Patriarch, but the sect speculates that it is 80 to 90 percent true."

Ji Lingqian, who had been silent the whole time, now joined in: "Lingche is right. According to my master, those who have survived the great tribulation have already cultivated an immortal body. I think it won't take long for a senior with great supernatural powers to re-cultivate and prove his immortality."

"Before I came, the headmaster warned us several times not to go to the Black Water Lake easily."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded solemnly.

It has been confirmed that he is immortal and is suspected to have acquired supernatural powers that will last forever. He is definitely not to be provoked.

Not to mention the true teachings of these major religions.

That's the mystery of the great religion; when faced with such great supernatural powers, one has to call him "senior" obediently.

If he really is an immortal great sage, even the founder of a religion would treat him as an equal.

"The world's heroes are as numerous as fish in the river. Our sect has produced an unrivalled genius, Ji Lingbao, who already astounded me. Now, there is another powerful and seemingly immortal who has no power and can last for all eternity." Wen Lingyang and the others were amazed.

This "Sanxian" does not refer to a state of mind; it simply means that one can achieve enlightenment by practicing alone without relying on any big religion or force.

"By the way, why didn't Senior Brother Lingbao come?" asked a junior fellow who was not familiar with the true disciples of several great geniuses curiously.

"Him? He's busy refining magic weapons. How can he have the time to come here? He doesn't lack the reward of one or two magic weapons." Wen Lingyang sneered.

Dong Lingshan also laughed and said, "Besides, those old guys in Kunwu will definitely not want him to come out now, for fear that his magic weapon will be snatched away by the great sage golden immortal like Tongtian Patriarch."

Xue Lingche and others who were sitting at the top all chuckled when they heard this.

As people of the same generation, it is really hard for them not to be jealous.

But the gap is not too big now. It's just a magic weapon, so there's no need to be too jealous.

As the top six or seven figures of the new generation of Kunwu, they still have this mentality. "Let's take care of ourselves first; if we don't take action this time, it's fine. If we take action more, we will have to kill more demon cubs to earn face and magic weapons!" Xue Lingche looked around at everyone.

"Brother Xue is right. Now that we are out there, it is different from being in Kunwu. When we fought in the past, we were all competing with our fellow disciples. Now that we are out there, we must be of the same blood and form an alliance regardless of any grudges we have!" Pei Lingming also said.

Everyone turned their eyes to Gu Lingmiao.

After all, Lingmiao and Lingche are old enemies.

"I have no objection." But this time, Ling Miao did not object.

In fact, they all knew the importance of this operation.

It's more than just a training session.

It is also the beginning of the real gap between fellow students.

There are only ten magical instruments awarded by the sect.

There were hundreds of new true disciples present.

There are five of them who have swallowed the immortal apricot and have a miraculous foundation in Taoism, and there are also Wen Lingyang and Dong Lingshan, whose strength is only slightly inferior to theirs.

"Speaking of which, before we came here this time, Master and the headmaster talked about fate. What do you think this is?" Gu Lingmiao suddenly looked up and asked everyone.

This is what she has been thinking about.

"Oh, this stuff is so illusory. At our level, it's useless to think too much. We just need to do whatever Senior Kunwu says." Everyone complained.

Ling Che stood up and said with his hands behind his back, "Speaking of destiny, this thing is extremely mysterious. It cannot be touched or analyzed unless it is above the level of the Tao."

"Generally speaking, being popular among others is considered to be a blessing in disguise, with all kinds of blessings."

"The five elders from Beishan who came to help us this time are undoubtedly the most popular people in the Zhaoyue Wilderness. Those who are righteous will have many supporters, while those who are unrighteous will have few supporters. This is the truth."

"So, the Five Elders of Beishan have strong luck, so when they encounter difficulties, there will be many people to help them?" Everyone was dizzy after hearing this.

"That's about right. My master said that these five elders have accumulated good karma over the years and have accumulated a huge amount of blessings over the years. This time, we are just adding icing on the cake for them."

Ling Che pointed to the bustling crowd outside and said, "Look, when they raise their arms and call, the mountains and hills are in turmoil. How many heroes, regardless of life and death, drop what they are doing and rush to help?"

"That makes sense, that makes sense, so that's how it is!" Everyone seemed to understand.

Honestly speaking, although Ling Che was just reading out the script, after all, with his level of cultivation, it was still difficult for him to truly understand the mystery of destiny. He had heard all this from his teachers.

But there is some truth to it.

In terms of fame, prestige and qualifications, the Five Elders of Beishan far surpass the almost unknown Jin'ao Island.

Together with these five old fellows, in terms of cultivation, they are all at the top level or half a step away from the Dao.

He is one of the most famous masters in Nanshan area.

Therefore, the Xuanwei Sect has been focusing on winning them over since a long time ago.

It is extremely difficult and rare for a casual cultivator to cultivate to this level.

It is impossible without enough opportunity and luck.

Kunwu Mountain needs to expand its sphere of influence; it attempts to vigorously develop the endless resources of the wild Zhaoyue Mountains.

The Five Elders of Beishan need the endorsement of Kunwu Mountain to become the apparent ruler of Zhaoyue Wilderness and control the local independent people, evil sects, and monsters.

The two families naturally hit it off.

This is one of the reasons why Kunwu came to help.

But this is still superficial.

The real reason is exactly the opposite of what Lingche said.

They are not here to add icing on the cake for the Five Elders.

Instead, it was the Five Elders who added icing on the cake for Kunwu.

These five old guys have accumulated good fortune over the years. They have always been kind to others and have guided a large number of independent people, cultivators, monsters, and good friends all over the country.

It has become the key to integrating the destiny of Zhaoyue Wilderness.

And integrating Zhaoyue's destiny requires timing.

Once integrated, with massive resources and luck accumulated, the Five Elders will soon break through to the realm of Taoism.

For thousands or tens of thousands of years to come, as long as the Five Elders’ luck remains, it will be very difficult for anyone to achieve enlightenment in the Great Wilderness of Zhaoyue.

After all, the place is so small and the resources are so limited.

This is the key to the Five Elders' surrender to Kunwu.

It's just that they want to integrate the entire north and south of Zhaoyue, gather massive resources, and break through the Tao Miao, but Kunwu may not be willing.

So the time has never come.

As the killing calamity approaches and is about to begin, Kunwu also needs to increase the blessings and fortune for his new disciples.

Only then did he agree to let the Five Elders start conquering the demons in the north and south of Zhaoyue, and at the same time release the new disciples who were going to participate in the killing.

Let them help the Five Elders, so that they can also gain some blessings and luck.

If you are in trouble in the future, you will have a better chance of turning danger into safety.

But except for those who are above Dao Miao, no one can see this level.

The old monster Huang Li from Jujiao Territory represents the true saint of the Jujiao Territory demon clan and has always been at odds with Kunwu.

The old demon Huanyue was brought here specially to challenge Kunwu after the old monster Huangli found out about this recently.

After all, Kunwu's sphere of influence has already reached its limit by spreading to the northern part of Zhaoyue Wilderness.

The impact has been extremely weak.

In the past, the vast Zhaoyue wilderness covering hundreds of thousands of miles has always been a place where three major forces, namely Kunwu Mountain, Jujiao Region, and East China Sea Dragon Palace, competed.

Everyone supported their own small forces to occupy a corner, and then let their disciples come to gain experience and collect some spiritual medicine resources, but they basically did not develop them.

The forces originally supported by Jujiaoyu and Longgong were all in Nanshan and Jiuze Bapo, and have been wiped out by the green-robed old demon.

Now the old demon in green robe has also been killed by Ju Jiaoyu.

The new old demon Huanyue has an unstable foundation; the Jin'ao Island in Heishuipo is a peaceful place.

Now, the five elders supported by Kunwu will naturally take advantage of this opportunity to unify Zhaoyue.

Ji Yuan's second soul incarnation was at a high level, so he naturally vaguely sensed this.

That's why I decided to interfere a little and participate.

However, Ji Yuan was not very interested in fighting for Zhao Yue.

He really didn't think much of this rotten piece of land.

Before, I took Jiuze Bapo just to raise insects.

After taking this place, there will be little benefit and it is bound to cause trouble.

So now he simply doesn’t want the Nine Lakes and Eight Bos anymore and gives them to the old demon Huanyue from Jujiaoyu.

He only gathered disciples, occupied the Black Water Lake near the East China Sea, and traded with the aquatic creatures.

No matter how they fight, Black Water Lake is enough for Ji Yuan.
