The ancestor is incompetent!

Chapter 53 Return to the Clan
At Baiwu Mountain, the waves were getting higher and higher. Many wandering cultivators gathered together and stood there for a while. The wind and the waves could not move them at all. Suddenly, a sea monster with eight eyes and four claws emerged from the water below the mountain. Its body was as big as a mountain. Its four claws shook the hill together, causing the hill to turn upside down and shift. The natural formation that was built on the mountain was broken.

The wandering cultivators fled in panic, escaping in all directions.

But there was vast ocean on all sides, and sea monsters emerged one after another from the sea. Countless strange-looking sea monsters devoured the flesh and blood of humans.

In the Snow Song Valley, the thousands of miles of snow-capped mountains turned into an iceberg. Monsters fearlessly charged into the formation, including all kinds of strange sea fish monsters, sea monsters, sea snake monsters...

There is no end in sight at a glance, as if the whole world is a siren.

A pure white light like snow emanated from the hazy light curtain of the large formation and spread out in all directions, freezing all the sirens wherever it passed.

However, soon, more sirens rushed up from behind, not caring at all about their own kind that were frozen beneath them, and all kinds of magic were directed at the light curtain of the formation.

Fortunately, the Snow Song Valley formation was solid and was not shaken by these little monsters. However, the faces of the cultivators in the formation were pale, obviously shocked by the scene of the sea creatures tirelessly sending themselves to die.

In the Wang family of Tongshan, the light curtain of the great formation lit up with a fiery red color, and the shadow of a three-yang divine bird flew up into the sky. When its wings were spread, a huge fire ignited all over the sky, burning countless sea monsters into ashes.

Once a siren is infected with this fire, it cannot be extinguished even in the sea water and can only be burned out bit by bit.

However, it was raining and the sky was full of water, which weakened the power of the formation by three points. When the shadow of the Three Yang Divine Bird disappeared, the disciples of the Wang family of Tongshan began to hold battle flags and take up positions according to the battle formation that had been arranged long ago, thus buying time for the formation to replace spirit stones and repair the formation base.

As for the Qi Ling Sect, they had already activated the mountain protection formation. Countless monsters were swarming in from all directions. Above the formation, a huge puppet with three heads and six arms appeared, each holding a gun, sword, knife, axe, halberd, and whip. Its six eyes emitted a mysterious golden light, and all monsters were destroyed wherever it passed.

Outside the formation, there were flags calling back souls that were attracting the spirits of the monsters that were killed by the formation, and disciples were controlling puppets to carefully carry away the corpses in the water for recycling.

All the disciples in the mountain gate are busy and no one has time to relax. As long as they are busy, the fear will be reduced a lot.

The disciples were still refining puppets. Originally, all the demon souls in the dead cave had been killed, and many puppets only had bodies but no spirits. But now, they had spirits and were being refined into complete puppets.

When the spirit of the great array began to weaken, hundreds of disciples controlled the puppets to form puppet battle formations to resist the attacks of the monsters.

And if the puppet battle formation is struggling somewhere, then the disciple battle formation formed by Xuanfeng will step up and reduce the burden.

On Lingfeng Mountain, Chen Guan looked at the endless stream of monsters and felt a little worried, saying, "Why is this beast tide different from the beast tide recorded by our ancestors?
It would take only three or two days for a normal beast tide to gather and form a wave of monsters to attack the formation.

Nowadays, waves of beasts gather every day. Even if the ancestor has foresight and the puppet battle formation is fully prepared, it may be difficult to persist for several years. "

Elder Gu, who was in charge of dispatching the transportation of materials, frowned and said, "Now those demon generals have not taken action yet. If they take action, it will be a real disaster!"

"Has Master Yu withdrawn yet?" Chen Guan asked worriedly, "If we are surrounded by those monsters, the formation of Sorrow Cloud Mountain will not be able to hold out."

"Uncle Yu has already returned to the mountain, and Chouyun Mountain has been sealed with a secret formation." Elder Gu replied.

"That's good. Let's send some more disciples to Qi Feng Secret Hall to make more puppets to prevent future troubles." Chen Guan reminded.

"But the Qifeng Secret Hall has always been open to the Wang family's children. The dozen or so people we sent out earlier were exceptions." Elder Gu said in embarrassment, "I'm afraid the elders of the Wang family don't want to."

"Now is the moment of life and death for the sect. As long as we can defend the mountain gate, there will be a future. There is no need to pay attention to those ancient rules now. If they object, they can say that I am following the orders of the ancestor!"

……

The wind and rain were blowing outside the mountain, but in the quiet room of the small courtyard, Li Yuan, who had been in seclusion for half a year, was still immersed in nourishing his Taoist ginseng.

At this time, the Taoist ginseng has transformed into a four or five-foot-tall peach tree, with forked branches and green leaves dotted on it. Small flower buds have already appeared on the leaves, but they have not yet bloomed.

After the peach tree grew, Li Yuan was not in a hurry to accumulate strength to promote its early flowering and fruiting.

Because he is practicing the Tao of Yuan Shui, not Wood Virtue, this Tao is to lead, to lead and transform the images of heaven and earth, and to derive supernatural powers.

The image of water that Li Yuan needs, according to his Taoism, now seems to mean rain.

Yuanshui is the source of growth and it governs the spring yang, so spring rain is naturally the best.

To do this, we need an image that represents spring. That cannot be a single peach tree, but a peach forest!
Therefore, Li Yuan's Taoist ginseng continued to grow. One by one, its branches were cut off and fell around the peach tree, taking root and becoming peach tree spiritual seedlings.

The evolution of Daoist ginseng requires more than just visualization, it also requires the blessing of the primordial spirit and the consumption of divine thoughts.

If an ordinary cultivator nurtured and cultivated the same Taoist ginseng as him, it would be considered very good if he could grow a mature tree in a year.

Because their damaged spirits need to be slowly cultivated, those with good conditions can use spiritual objects to nourish their spirits and recover faster, while those with poor conditions can only slowly regulate their breathing and cultivate.

But Li Yuan is different. He has the blessing of the Ten Thousand Wood Realm. Every time he consumes too much of his soul, he only needs to exit the Ten Thousand Wood Realm and sleep for three to five days to recover.

Therefore, in terms of nourishing Taoist ginseng, Li Yuan's one year of hard practice is equivalent to others' several years or even ten years of hard practice.

One by one, the peach trees grew, sprouted, grew taller, put on branches, and grew leaves. In just over two years, a peach forest had grown in his mind.

In addition to his own powerful divine consciousness and the Ten Thousand Woods Realm, he also benefited from the current Heaven and Earth Qi Realm, which was most beneficial to Water Virtue. Although this water often caused disasters and had bad intentions, it was still the water of the ocean, the source of the world, and still blessed the four Water Virtues.

Speaking of the position of water virtue, Li Yuan also specially looked up the relevant classics. He also went to the Transmission Pavilion to borrow many experiences and insights of his ancestors in breaking through the true cultivation.

All water in the world can be divided into four categories: Ren water, Gui water, true water and Yuan water.

Among them, Kan water is the true position of Yang water in the world, but it seems to have been replaced by Ren water since ancient times.

Gui water is the true position of Yin water in the world, and all Yin water is subject to its system.

True water is the intersection of Kan and Gui. When it meets the Tao body, all spiritual water created in the body of the practitioner will become true water.

Yuanshui is a rather obscure and hidden way of life. When it first appeared in the world, it was of great importance and was the source of all waters. It was called the ancestor of the Taoist tradition. But later it fell into obscurity and Yuanshui rarely appeared in the world.

The Qi Ling Sect only has fragments of the Xia Yuan Jue that have been cultivated to the seventh level of foundation building, and the rest is nowhere to be found.

Fortunately, Li Yuan has the complete text of the spiritual lower Yuan Zhen Jue, so at least he shouldn’t have to worry about the exercises after building the foundation.

Just when Li Yuan was concentrating on retreat, the beast tide from the outside world reached its most violent stage.

Outside the Qi Ling Gate, there were several huge waves hundreds of feet high hovering in the air, and on each wave stood a demon general.

There are as many as nine of them!

The disciples of Qi Ling Sect could no longer concentrate on refining puppets, because the mountain protection formation needed longer and longer time to rest, and the disciples could only take turns to step forward to withstand the impact of the beast tide.

If it were any other attack, the mountain protection formation would not need to rest and could completely withstand the attacks of the monsters.

But in the tide of sea beasts, if you just defend yourself and let the monsters change the foundation of the formation, the veins and terrain of the ground, the only way out is that the formation will be broken and you will die.

Changing the topography of the earth veins and destroying the foundation of the formation is not an easy task for a true cultivator who has established his foundation. However, the sea monster has an infinite ocean of water and almost countless monsters. Even if the Wu earth sinks into the water, the ocean of water is so vast that the earth strength is small and it is difficult to fill the ocean. Instead, it has become a mountain guard.

Therefore, the mountain protection formations of various sects need to attack from time to time to clear out the monsters and prevent the beast tide from changing the foundation of the earth.

On the top of the 100-foot wave, an old woman was leading the group. She held two maces in her hands and looked down at the mountains below. She seemed to be reminiscing and said with a smile, "More than a thousand years ago, I also attacked this place. At that time, an eighth-turn true cultivator practiced wood virtue and had great magical powers. He fought against many enemies alone and even captured several of his fellow cultivators.

Now, after a thousand years, I am back to visit the old place. I wonder what kind of people are there in this place now?"

Beside him, a charming woman with long hair on her temples said with a smile, "Grandma, you are now also at the seventh level, what are you afraid of? No matter how glorious that cultivator was in the past, he has now turned into dust and died of old age.

Why not take over this land first and let the boys have a taste of blood first."

The old woman shook her head slightly and said cautiously: "When I led the people to attack this place, the adults at that time said that this place has an ancient heritage. Now it has been more than a thousand years and it has not declined. It can be seen that it has a deep foundation and should not be underestimated.

Moyu, Lifeng, the two of you go forward and test the depth first. I will support you, as long as you don't get trapped in the formation."

"Yes! Commander!"

A strange man with a pitch-black figure and a haggard young man took the order and came to the front of the battle as soon as the wind and waves changed.

The strange man opened his mouth and spit out a ball-shaped object that scattered black smoke. Just looking at it made people feel uneasy. This black ball fell on the formation, and it could corrode the flesh and blood like black rain. Many sea monsters were turned into dry bones after being touched by it a little.

The haggard-looking man reached out and took out a bone fan. He waved it gently, and white wind and clouds came floating in, covering the entire Qi Ling Gate.

A white hand suddenly stretched out from the void, and a faint white light flashed faintly in the palm of its hand, and then it was slapped into the body of the ink squid monster. The monster was immediately covered with black smoke, and fell into the sea with a scream, turning into a huge octopus-clawed squid hundreds of feet long.

At the same time, a simple small mirror appeared on the formation. With just a shake, it dispersed the black smoke and white mist.

"This is... the Xunguang Daoist tradition."

The old woman was surprised and looked at the woman in white who suddenly appeared. "Among the nine lights, the Xun light will definitely kill you. There are few people in the world who can practice it. I never thought there would be one here.

But it's only the second level, so it's still possible to control the aura."

After saying this, the old woman did not even look at the Carp Wind Demon General who had hurriedly fled back. She just threw a white silk net into the air, and a thin net covered the world in all directions. She shouted softly, "Collect!"

The next moment, these silk-like nets quickly gathered together, covering Taoist Yuhe.

But who would have thought that the figure would turn into a puppet in just a flash of light.

At the same time, Taoist Yuhe appeared again. She raised her hand and thousands of puppets fell down at the same time. More than ten spiritual puppets quickly made hand gestures and moved their hands, and a formation of thousands of puppets was formed.

“My fellow demon generals, my Qi Ling Sect has inherited the ancient ways, and is particularly good at puppets. If you waste your time on these dead things, not only will you not have blood to feed the tribe, but your bodies will also be damaged, affecting your path. It is better for you to go north.

Whether it is the Qingfeng Pavilion ahead or the Three Gates and Four Divisions, they are much easier to attack than where I am."

Taoist Yuhe looked at the demon generals with his pale white eyes. He stood on the Thousand Puppets Formation and persuaded them without any sadness or joy.

"You evil nun, you destroyed my body, and you dared to attack me!"

Before the demon generals could make a decision, the giant squid in the sea angrily stretched out its eight claws and lashed at the Thousand Puppets Formation.

Taoist Yuhe saw that the demon leader did not stop, so he knew that he was testing the power of the formation, so he urged the magic formula, and thousands of puppets moved together, forming a giant puppet over a hundred feet tall. It punched down with a sharp punch of armor, piercing one of the squid's claws. Black blood flowed in the sea water, and the pain made the demon general's face even more resentful.

“No matter how deep your foundation is, you are just a true cultivator.” The old woman shook the two maces in her hands that were shining with cold light, and said with a smile: “The inheritance is ancient, and the spiritual resources are more abundant.

Eight generals, listen up, don't hold back, destroy this gate!"

"Yes! Commander!"

The eight demons responded in unison.

The old woman swung her two maces, thunder roared in the sky, and rolling lightning was drawn towards Taoist Yuhe.

Taoist Yuhe's expression changed, and a round ancient plate appeared in front of him. A faint white light turned into a triple xiao instrument, which resounded in unison, echoing the thunder and opening a path for her in the sky full of thunder.

The old woman was surprised when she saw this and said, “You can actually find a way out of my deep thunder forbidden area.

My cave is still lacking a ray of light, so I will use your soul and body to decorate it."

After saying that, she shook the two maces in her hands, and thunder suddenly rose again. Amid the sound of thunder and lightning, the spiritual weapon of Taoist Yuhe was dimmed.

Seeing the danger, Taoist Yuhe activated his magic formula without hesitation and chanted the ancient spell: "Change shape and shadow."

The next moment, Taoist Yuhe staggered out from a stone somewhere inside the Qi Ling Sect with blood on his clothes, and in the thunder caused by the double maces, there was only a shattered puppet.

She gritted her teeth, ready to stand up and take the lead again. Even though her magical powers were extraordinary, she was facing a high-level cultivator. How could she have the strength to resist?

But all the clans and sects were behind her, so Taoist Yuhe had to take the lead.

The eight monsters in the Thousand Puppets Formation used their own methods, and in less than an incense stick of time, they broke the Thousand Puppets Formation that had taken hundreds of years of hard work to create by the Qi Ling Sect's disciples.

Yuhe endured the injuries and stood up again on the formation. Just as he was about to take out something else, he heard a very familiar voice.

"Junior sister, let's go back to the formation."

This voice gave people an inexplicable sense of security, and Taoist Yuhe turned around to look.

I saw the one-eyed old man with a hunched back, walking up the mountain and heading towards the sky. The flying sand and rocks startled the swans, and the floating clouds on the mountains shook the ocean.

The ancient bell inside the mountain gate rang for a long time without stopping. When the bell rang for ninety-nine times, thousands of cultivators raised their heads and saw nothing but dark yellow.

"Greetings to the ancestor!"

The sound was as loud as a mountain, and its force was as powerful as thunder. More than a thousand disciples bowed respectfully.

"All those who hold puppets will be returned to the clan."

Wang Xun's always cloudy single eye revealed a rare gleam of light. Under his feet, mountains piled up hundreds of feet high. Sand flew all over the sky like dark yellow rain. Thousands of swans flew out of the Floating Swan Palace.

　I don't have any drafts saved, I code everything on the spot every day, so it's sometimes unstable. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long.

　　I am a bad namer. I just gave this book the name Lao Zu Wu Neng on impulse. I really can't think of a good title. Please help me think of a new title. I really don't know what to change it to. I can only ask for help from you who are so resourceful! Thank you!
