The ancestor is incompetent!

Chapter 137 White Elm Star
Many disciples had gathered beside the Baique Pagoda, having already been affected by the strange changes in the heaven and earth. They were talking about which of their fellow disciples had obtained an incredible fortune and made a breakthrough in their cultivation. Everyone's eyes were filled with amazement and admiration.

Zhao Hongwen, whose hair was already covered with white frost, leaned on a cane and quietly looked up at the stars in the sky among the lively crowd of young disciples. A smile appeared on his face full of deep wrinkles, and he said, "It seems that I can become a true cultivator again!

Although our Qi Ling Sect has gone through many twists and turns, we have still managed to come through the storms bit by bit."

A young disciple beside him asked him with a smile: "Since the old man has such a sharp vision, I think he must have experienced a lot."

"Well, how can I say I have experienced many hardships?" Zhao Hongwen shook his head and laughed, "It is only because of the support of the generations of true elders in the sect that a small figure like me can survive in a low position.

When I was young, I witnessed how Patriarch Li Yuan pulled the sect back from the brink of collapse after the previous generation Patriarch Wang Xun passed away. Later, Sect Master Chen cultivated supernatural powers, and the sect began to improve. After he lived to be a hundred years old, three true practitioners emerged from the sect, and the sect was once prosperous and powerful.

As a result, the opening of the so-called cave caused the loss of two true cultivators in the sect, and the sect fell into decline again.

Now that I have reached the age of my final years, I have seen signs of a resurgence in my sect, which can be considered as a way of healing the wounds of my old age."

After he said this, the young disciples around him looked at the old man in front of them with admiration. It turned out that this old man who was idle here all day and looked ordinary was actually a senior who had experienced so many historical events in the sect.

"Excuse me! You are really old, old senior." The disciple who spoke first bowed and apologized, "I am Xu Zhe, a junior, and I am quite interested in the ancient history of the sect. I wonder if you could tell me more about it, old senior?"

"Oh? It's rare to see a young man like you." Zhao Hongwen smiled in surprise and said, "All the new disciples in the sect now want to go to Qifeng, Fufeng, and Shuwufeng to learn cultivation skills and earn more spirit stones to subsidize their cultivation.

Which peak are you from? How can you have so much free time?"

Xu Zhe smiled politely and said, "I am a disciple of Lingfeng. I don't have any special skills, nor do I have any extraordinary talents. I just want to go further in the great way."

"You are quite ambitious." Zhao Hongwen smiled kindly and said, "Come to my residence in three days to find me."

"Yes, thank you for your guidance, senior!"

Xu Zhe smiled and saluted. He knew that his spiritual roots and talents were very ordinary. It would be fine if he just wanted to be a Qi-refining cultivator, but if he wanted to go further, it would be as difficult as ascending to heaven.

But he had always yearned for the ethereal path to immortality since he was young. Now that he had set foot on the path to immortality, he naturally wanted to look up.

Xu Zhe knew how difficult it was to practice. With his inferior spiritual roots, he would be lucky if he could reach the late stage of Qi Refining in his lifetime. Therefore, there was absolutely no hope for him to practice step by step.

But he learned by chance from a deacon of Qi Feng that the previous generation's leader, Patriarch Li Yuan, was only a man of average spiritual roots, and could be said to be the cultivator with the worst spiritual roots in all the generations.

Naturally, he had a desire to explore, hoping to find something extraordinary from this person in charge, which would effectively help him make further progress on the path to immortality.

The stars in the sky were twinkling, lighting up the night sky above Qi Ling Gate. To the north of the Fusang tree there was a hundred-meter-tall elm tree, which drew the starlight from the sky bit by bit, and the layers of green leaves of the elm tree were actually dyed pale white bit by bit.

One after another, they gathered and appeared around Fusang, the white elms were bright, the twelve stars shone, and the palace was firmly closed.

The shadows of the twelve white elm trees turned into twelve real trees, making the night sky full of stars and the green peaks in the mountains look like a dreamlike scene.

A man with long beard and black robe walked out of the sky, smiling as he looked at the elm trees and stars in all directions. With a thought, the twelve white elms gathered into his body. He waved his sleeves and scattered the starlight in the sky, causing the disciples who stopped to watch to exclaim and laugh.

Although the disciples were not sure which one had achieved the true cultivation breakthrough, they all bowed respectfully and said, "Congratulations to the elder for achieving supernatural powers and may the immortal path last forever!"

Standing on the top of the mountain, Lu Fei saw the scene of thousands of cultivators gathering together, and he couldn't help but be moved. Looking at the Qi Ling Mountain Gate surrounded by mountains and palaces, he felt very grateful.

Without the help of the sect leader and the elders, and without the thousands of disciples who supported his practice, he would never have been able to achieve the supernatural powers he has today.

A stream of light flew over from afar and landed in front of him. It was the few true practitioners who were waiting nearby.

Lu Fei hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you, Master, Elders, and the two seniors for helping me achieve enlightenment! I will be grateful to you forever and will remember it forever!"

Chen Guan smiled and personally stepped forward to help him up, "No need to be polite. As a disciple of Qi Ling Sect, we, as the elders ahead, naturally have to take care of the younger generation. This has been passed down for more than 4,000 years and 19 generations."

Bai Suwen, who was standing by, smiled and said, "Brother, you don't have to be so polite. From now on, you are also one of the true elders of the sect. You only need to address me as a fellow sect brother or sister. This is also the rule of the sect. You don't have to be so formal."

Seeing that the Sect Master and Bai Suwen were so sincere, Lu Fei naturally felt closer to them and said, "Since that's the case, I will boldly call you Senior Sister and Sect Master Senior Brother!"

"That's great." Chen Guan nodded with a smile and introduced him: "This is Fellow Daoist Su Yaosu, the head of Yinque Mountain, and this is Fairy Ning Que from Xueyin Valley. It was she who used her magical powers to suppress the flames of Fusang and help you achieve true cultivation."

Lu Fei also hurriedly thanked them respectfully: "Thank you two seniors for your help, I am very grateful!"

"Haha, you're welcome." Ning Que smiled faintly and replied, "The three sects are already close, so helping each other is just a small matter.

Your noble family's tradition is so simple, it makes people quite envious."

"This is just the ancient sect rules." Chen Guan waved his hand humbly, smiled and looked at Lu Fei and asked: "What kind of magical power did you cultivate? Judging from the momentum and celestial phenomena, it is also very extraordinary."

“Master, thank you for your praise. My magical power belongs to the Jiamu Dao School and is called [White Elm Star]. By chance, I was lucky enough to be led to the Yuheng constellation among the Big Dipper in the sky. It also comes with many mysteries of the star school.

Besides its usefulness, it can also contain ancient omens and signs, and can calm the soil, cultivate one's nature, and eliminate evil spirits. It can also guide celestial phenomena and sense the nodes of the Zhoutian, which is quite helpful for me to comprehend the Dao of formations!"

"Good! Good! Good!" Chen Guan said happily after hearing what he said, "The formations in our sect are all supported by the heritage left by our ancestors. Now that you have a talent for formations and have been blessed with magical powers, there will be no worries about no one to carry on the sect's formations in the future!"

"Junior Brother Lu's magical power is quite extraordinary, unlike mine which is rather single in use." Bai Suwen also praised.

"Sister, there is no need to be modest." Fairy Ning Que smiled and said, "Your magical power [Phoenix Singing Snow] uses the divine bird phoenix as an image, and the combination of wind and snow is very good at attacking. It won't be long before your name will be known all over Nanjue Island.

As for the Wood Virtue Dao, it is rich in symbols and has many mysteries. However, Fellow Daoist Lu should be more low-key in the future. After all, Jiamu and the like are the most detrimental to Wutu. "

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of several people present changed. The five elements emphasized the mutual generation and restraint, and emphasized compliance with changes. Naturally, several people were aware of the power of the real person from the Linglong School. There was no need to say more about what this meant. They all understood it with just a mention.

"Thank you very much for the fairy's reminder. Wood virtue is scarce. I have never thought about this problem." Chen Guan frowned. Obviously, this matter was not a big deal, but it could not be small at all.

"Don't worry, fellow Taoist. After all, there are still several Mudezhen Taoist sects on Nanjue Island." Su Yao comforted him. Chen Guan and Lu Fei could only suppress this matter in their hearts for the time being and wait to think about it later.

"Speaking of which, I did not leave the valley for nothing this time. There are some secret matters that I need to discuss with Master Chen. I wonder if there is a place where we can talk conveniently?" Ning Que glanced at the expressions of several people before stating his purpose.

After all, even if that immortal is not on the island, the cultivators don't have to be as cautious as they were in the past, but they still have to be careful when it comes to secret matters.

"Of course there are. Please follow me, both of you." Chen Guan led the two of them and said, "Junior Brother Lu, please focus on consolidating your cultivation. Junior Sister Bai, please inform the disciples of Peak 125 about Junior Brother Lu's breakthrough."

"Yes, senior brother!"

Lu and Bai responded.

Chen Guan brought Su Yao and Ning Que to the ancestral hall. After burning incense in front of the spirit tablet, he asked, "Does Senior Gong have any important instructions?"

Ning Que said seriously, "That's right.

Fellow Daoist Chen, do you know that within a hundred years at most, the Wu Earth phase on Nanjue Island, and even the Qi realm of heaven and earth, will reach their peak state.

This is the highest level of earth that has never been seen in Nanjue Island before! "

"Friend Ning, what you mean is that that person will definitely attempt a higher step after eighty or ninety years?" Chen Guan's expression also became solemn.

"That's right. He has been struggling for thousands of years. The old ancestor in my valley said that he is not alone. Although some of the other high-ranking officials are not happy about it, some are willing to help.

Regardless of whether it will succeed or not, before the breakthrough, all the cultivators in Nanjue will definitely be slaughtered, and the magical powers of the true cultivators will be used to supplement the five elements once again. This is also to prevent the true cultivators from interfering with the physical images and eliminate hidden dangers in advance.

And your family will definitely not be able to escape the disaster at that time!

If he succeeds, he will naturally not care about the Tianqi Immortal Sect, which now has only scattered sects. If he fails, he will not have to worry about the consequences. So there is no need to worry at all. The Qiling Sect will most likely be wiped out!"

"What? Massacre of the island?" Chen Guan was shocked. His face turned pale as he asked, "Did...Did the real person do it himself?"

The other party actually came to inform me in advance, so it is mostly certain. As for the authenticity, judging from the real person's domineering and shrewd inertia, this kind of thing is indeed something he can do!

“It’s hard to say.” Ning Que shook his head and sighed, “But the true cultivators of the Earth Virtue are more likely to survive. He probably won’t kill them all, but will only attack those who have mutual generation and restraint in the Five Elements and those who have potential unknowns.

If it was before, my ancestor would not have informed you in advance. Because this is a dead end, knowing in advance is powerless to change it, it is better to be happy for a few more days.

But now, your sect is involved with that master. If that master is willing to take action, your Qiling Sect will be safe."

"Isn't the Fusang spiritual wood left by the adults enough?" Chen Guan pondered.

"It's not enough. He will certainly send powerful enemies to test you. Although you have some ties with that master, he still repaid you with the remaining grace of the Fusang spiritual tree.

As long as he doesn't destroy the spiritual wood, the Lord may not take action. "Ning Que said bluntly: "If you agree to my request for Xueyin Valley, the valley will take in a disciple from your sect and wait for the day when the Taoist tradition will be passed down in the future!"

"Is Guigu sure that his entire clan won't be massacred?" Chen Guan asked doubtfully.

"The ancestor in my valley has a close relationship with the Immortal Sect's real person, and the Linglong Sect will not make any moves." Ning Que said confidently.

"What do you want, fellow Taoist?" Chen Guan asked doubtfully.

"For this matter, you still need to go to Xueyin Valley in person. The ancestor has personally assigned you to do this, so you must not reveal any of the secrets!" Ning Que looked at him steadily.

“Can’t even the spirit tablet of my ancestor hide this secret?” Chen Guan frowned. The black bead that Zhang Qi had left for him clearly mentioned that there were great causal entanglements in the Snow Song Valley, and one should not set foot in there unless absolutely necessary.

Ning Que sighed and shook his head, "Don't say too much. Your family must have some real practitioners in the outer sea, it's probably a pity."

"What do you mean, fellow Taoist?" Chen Guan was shocked and asked.

"There is nothing on Nanjue Island that the Immortal Master doesn't know." Ning Que shook his head, "If Daoist friend wants to seek a glimmer of hope, then go to Xueyin Valley in person and he will naturally know."

Ning Que smiled and shook his head, "That's all I have to say. Let's go."

She stepped out of the ancestral hall, and Su Yao immediately followed her out.

Only Chen Guan was left standing alone in the temple, lost in thought for a long time.

The spirit tablets of the ancestors of the Qi Ling Sect are lined up in the ancestral hall. On the lower left side of the token, Li Yuan's spirit tablet is shining brightly under the candlelight.

……

In the Xuanyuan world, Li Yuan, who was practicing attentively, suddenly opened his eyes, and his soul heard what Ning Que had just said in the ancestral hall.

In Qi Lingmen, he only left behind the perception of the osmanthus tree in the courtyard and the spirit tablet in the ancestral hall. Even in the Xuanyuan Realm, he could still sense and feel.

Ning Que was a true cultivator whom he met when he first entered Xueyin Valley. He was now a sixth-turn true cultivator and was only one step away from reaching a higher level.

Li Yuan frowned and thought back to what the other party said. If Linglong Sect really wanted to exterminate the sects with hidden dangers, Qiling Sect would definitely be the best. He originally thought that Linglong Sect would exterminate some sects without roots and foundations, but now it seems that Qiling Sect is really facing the disaster of extermination.

But the current Xuanyuan Realm cannot afford the cultivation needs of thousands of Qi Ling Sect's disciples, and it is impossible for him to move the entire sect into the Xuanyuan Realm right now.

Once the Xuanyuan Realm is leaked, I am afraid that more troubles will be involved. In this way, the solution to this matter may fall on the shoulders of the Lord of the Sun.
