The ancestor is incompetent!

Chapter 59 Knowing the World

"Da~"

Footsteps were heard, and Li Yuan walked into the ancestral hall. When he passed by the old man, the other party was unaware of him.

But Li Yuan stopped and looked around carefully, only then did he realize that the person in front of him was not a human.

But a puppet!
Li Yuan's hidden figure appeared in the yard. The old man was suddenly startled, and his aura suddenly surged, as if he had some kind of magical power. He swung a punch and hit Li Yuan one foot in front of him, but the punch could not move forward an inch.

"Greetings, ancestor! I am blind and did not react for a moment."

The old Taoist smiled awkwardly, retracted his fist, and picked up the broom on the ground again.

"With this punch from you, an ordinary person in the late stage of Qi training would be beaten to death."

Li Yuan looked at him with interest and asked, "What kind of puppet is it? A spiritual puppet, or some kind of soul-refining puppet?"

The old Taoist's face changed when he heard this, and he bowed respectfully, "Disciple Wang Qiuzhi greets the ancestor.

Even psychic puppets can only control battle formations and cannot understand human emotions.

The disciple should have died more than a hundred years ago, but due to the secret method of the sect, he was able to graft his soul onto a puppet body, continue his life, and guard the ancestral temple."

“I see.” Li Yuan nodded and praised: “This puppet body of yours seems to have been blessed with the power of earth virtue, so ordinary peak Qi refining masters are no match for you. Guarding the ancestral hall is not bad at all.”

“The ancestor has a keen eye.” Wang Qiuzhi replied, “The ancestral hall is of great importance, so we have to guard it day and night.

If the ancestor had not made a breakthrough in time that day, I would have had to abandon this puppet body and use the secret talisman to hold back the evil spirit, giving the other disciples a chance to escape."

"The inheritance of a clan is a big deal, so we must be cautious." Li Yuan sighed, "With me in the future, you just need to stay in the clan temple with peace of mind.

Follow me into the ancestral hall."

"Disciple, I dare not!" Wang Qiuzhi hurriedly replied, "The sect has an ancient rule that only those who practice true cultivation can peek into the secrets of the ancestral hall.

Only true practitioners can enter, and there has never been a rule that Qi training disciples can enter."

"Oh?" Li Yuan became interested and said with a smile: "According to the order in my hand, the secret treasures and even important things in the sect are all in the ancestral hall. If many true cultivators in the sect have illegal intentions, then wouldn't the treasure house be emptied?"

Wang Xunzhi was embarrassed when he heard this and said, "I don't think I've ever heard the previous two ancestors say such a thing happened. I think there may be another mystery."

"In that case, I will go in and take a look."

Li Yuan took out the summons order, flashed into the ancestral hall, opened the ban, and a ray of light enveloped him.

There seemed to be a sense of weightlessness, and also a feeling of floating. After more than ten breaths, there was a sudden light in front of Li Yuan, and he appeared in an enclosed space. It was pitch black all around and he could not see clearly.

If it was ordinary darkness without light, Li Yuan could see everything clearly with his naked eyes, but the scene before him was definitely not ordinary darkness.

He remembered something and took out an object, which was the ancient bronze lamp.

As soon as this lamp was brought out, it was as if a switch was turned on all around. A series of gray-yellow flames burned up, illuminating the underground space.

"Is this... Dark Miasma? Has it been dispelled by the Weiyang Spiritual Fire?"

Li Yuan was a little surprised. This place had been influenced by the status of the ancestor. It was unaffected by all kinds of laws and was hidden enough, but there was still a need for such a method.

He looked ahead and saw long shelves lined up all around, filled with all kinds of sealed spiritual objects.

A newly made jade slip was placed on an ancient stone about ten feet wide in the front.

Li Yuan picked up the jade slip and saw its contents with a quick scan.

“I am Wang Xun, the seventeenth generation successor to the Qi Ling Sect and in charge of true cultivation.

As usual, I write this letter before I feel that the destiny is approaching, hoping that it will help the younger generations in their true practice.

The Qi Ling Sect was passed down to me three thousand four hundred and seventy-eight years ago. As of the day I write this edict, it has been passed down for three thousand eight hundred and forty-nine years.

For more than 400 years, they have been working diligently to guard the gate and protect the industry. However, the upper sect Linglong is getting more and more pressed, and the crisis is getting more serious.

So I had no choice but to do this. I would use up the last bit of status left by my ancestor and destroy my own soul, hoping to dispel the suspicion of the ancestor.

After me, I'm afraid my junior sister Yuhe will also be plotted against. After all, the light of the Xun involves the Nine Lights, and it may be difficult for someone from the sea to force her to take charge of the sect.

Therefore, he secretly taught his junior Yu Guhong to take charge of Qi Ling in the time of great changes and stabilize the mountain gate. Another junior Chen Guan had accumulated a lot of experience and was expected to become a great man.

Cui Huaiqiu, a younger generation, is an extraordinary swordsman. Although he is temporarily trapped by his inner demons and cannot make any progress, he still has hope of true cultivation.

There is another person who is suspected to be destined. The younger generation Li Yuan is secretly hidden by me, and he may have the ability to truly practice.

I hope that those in charge of the sect will pay more attention and ensure that the inheritance of the sect’s tradition is not interrupted.

There are also spiritual objects accumulated by ancestors of successive generations, including more than 230 yellow-grade spiritual objects, 34 black-grade spiritual objects, and two earth-grade spiritual objects.

There are 42 top-grade magic tools, 3 ultimate magic tools, and 18 mid-grade spiritual tools...

……

Those who are in charge of Qi Ling should remember that even if you have a lot of wealth, you should not show it off, nor spend too much of it.

Disciples can pass on the teachings, but not too many.

The sect cannot cut off its inheritance, nor can it flourish. All things must be endured, and the weapon must be hidden in the heart and not leaked.

It is because the rosy glow in the sky is always there, everything under the sky is within its control, and all the mountains and plains on the earth are within its grasp.

There is also a Nine Palaces force that is rampant in secret. It appears to be rebelling against the upper sect, but in fact it is a secret move by the upper sect. You must not approach it or make friends with it.

On Nanjue Island, apart from the upper sect, the only sect that belongs to the Qiling Sect is the ancient sect. You must not show any intention that you shouldn't have!
……

Although I am incompetent, I have tried my best to inherit Qi Ling's legacy and prevent it from being discontinued.

If there is someone who is devoted to Taoism and takes charge of Qi Ling, he must remember not to abandon the sect, otherwise the cause and effect of tens of thousands of years of the ancient Tianqi Immortal Sect will be imposed on him, and he will be doomed to eternity, and even death will not be able to free himself!

Remember, when inheriting a sect, do not disobey orders from your superiors. Even if it costs you your life, you must preserve the tradition.

Otherwise, you will die and go to [Hell]! This is the beginning! "

Li Yuan stared at the jade slip in a daze. The hundreds of thousands of words in this jade slip not only explained many secrets of the Nanjue Continent, but also contained many secrets that should not even be heard of, involving the cause and effect of the upper golden elixir.

Qi Lingmen is such a huge pit!
And once you are in the pit, you can't get out. You can't stop until you die.

The implication of Patriarch Wang Xun's words is very clear. Inheriting a sect is no longer a responsibility, but an obligation. This obligation comes from the Tianqi Immortal Sect, the eternal immortal sect, and from the Xuanyuan Taoist tradition.

If the Qi Ling Sect was destroyed, even if Li Yuan died, he would probably find it difficult to face those beings in death, whether it be reincarnation or the unknown.

He was in a daze for several hours, thinking about it, and then he let out a long breath. He looked down and found that the jade slip in his hand had turned into sand at some point and fell onto the ancient stone.

Li Yuan stretched out his hand and took out the summons order, waved it at the ancient stone, and many ancient characters appeared on it. These were things that could not be written on the jade slips.

He stayed in this dark room for half a month before he finally regained consciousness, his mind filled with many things. If a Qi-refining cultivator had seen so many things that overturned his cognition, he would probably lose his mind and go crazy.

After reading the records on the stone, combined with the jade slips from ancestor Wang Xun, Li Yuan finally understood this world.

The so-called Nanjue Continent is just an island, an island of exile.

This forbidden land was used to exile the Helian, Changsun, Dugu and Baili clans. It seems that because the ancestors of these four clans committed serious mistakes, they were exiled to this remote place near the sea by the True Lords.

The Linglong Sect, on the other hand, was an inherited sect from outside, which gradually led to the decline of the Baili, Changsun, and Helian clans.

The Dugu clan was separated from the Wushan Lei clan by the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Both of these families have Jindan Zhenren!
However, the masters of these two families were not as powerful as those of Linglong Sect, so they were forced to fight with sea monsters day and night in the coastal area and became the barrier of Nanjue Island.

Three thousand years ago, there were no hundreds of thousands of mountains on Nanjue Island.

At that time, the ancestor of Qi Ling Sect was still alive, and there were also Helian, Baili, and Changsun, a total of six golden elixir families competing for power.

The golden elixirs of the Helian, Changsun and Baili clans were driven into the Western Ruins by Master Jiang of the Linglong Sect, holding the Immortal Decree of the True Lord, and their lives were unknown.

However, Dugu escaped with his life thanks to the help of the immortal of Qi Lingmen, but he was seriously injured and fled.

However, Master Jiang stopped in time and did not continue chasing.

However, Master Jiang used his great magical power to transform the earth virtue of Wuchen into 100,000 mountains, separating the Nanjue Island, and thus dividing it into two worlds.

Jindan Zhenren's lifespan is more than a thousand years, and Zhenren Jiang has lived for at least three thousand years!
Li Yuan was shocked when he saw this, and only then did he understand the horror of Linglong Sect.

As for the origin of Qi Ling Sect, it was one of the twelve immortal sects located in the east of the Central Continent, and had been passed down for tens of thousands of years. Later, the immortal sect declined, experienced civil strife, and several branches scattered.

The Qi Ling Sect is the Qi Ming lineage of the Tian Qi Immortal Sect. As for the real ancestor who led the disciples to Nan Jue Island, he has no name, and even the names of the other golden elixirs are not recorded.

The only one I know is Linglong Sect’s Jindan Jiang Zhenren!

When it comes to the mysterious central continent, there is also a brief description.

There are twelve immortal sects and countless immortal cultivation families on the continent. If they are sects, they can only establish their inheritance on more than a hundred islands outside the central continent. Now it seems that there are only eleven immortal sects.

As for other situations, they are rarely mentioned. It is obvious that the ancestors did not want the younger generations to have expectations for the Central Continent, so as to prevent them from setting foot on that dangerous place again one day.

As for the spiritual treasures and magical instruments in the sect, they are all controlled by the spirits of the great arrays. The various restrictions, magic arrays, and mountain protection arrays of the entire Qi Ling Sect are all a whole. Some are controlled by cultivators, and some are controlled by the array spirits.

Obviously, if a true cultivator wants to use precious spiritual objects, he must ask the array spirit for advice.

However, these secrets and the true thoughts of heaven and earth can only be known by the true cultivator who is in charge of Qi Lingmen. Other true cultivators cannot obtain this information.

Therefore, when Li Yuan, a disciple of Lingfeng, became a true cultivator, the array spirit never appeared to warn him to be loyal to the sect. Without anyone else saying anything, Li Yuan understood that he was marked with a mark that could not be removed or washed off.

He and Qi Lingmen are afraid that they will live and die together in the future.

But if we put aside the historical past and return to the present, the question is how to keep the sect running.

Dusha Dao, who was hiding in the dark, was also the secret agent of Linglong Sect. He lived in the Shiwanda Mountains and seized the inherited power of Helian family.

The inheritance of the Duwei Daotong was really in the hands of the Qiling Sect. Li Yuan found this secret book and took a casual look at it, and found that it was actually the way to cultivate Yin and control ghosts. It was profound and could not be read thoroughly in a short time.

In fact, ever since this inheritance fell into the hands of Qi Lingmen, it has had enmity with Du Sha Dao. Even if it is really returned to Du Sha Dao now, the inheritance has been seen by others. Will others still be able to keep you?

As for saying that you haven’t seen it, no one would believe it.

You say it is not in your hands, but the other party is convinced that it is in your hands. Now this hidden danger is still buried in Li Yuan's mind.

But the Dusha Dao is hidden deep in the Ten Thousand Mountains, with nine guards inside. I think there should be about ten true practitioners. He is the only true practitioner who hasn't even reached the first level, so he has no chance of winning.

The only consolation is that Dusha Dao is a hidden sect after all, which is dedicated to supervising the Dugu and Lei families in Shannan.

I think this search for the inheritance of the Taoist tradition is something that a certain traitor from the Helian family is obsessed with.

Otherwise, Dusha Dao would have sent out seven or eight true cultivators before the beast tide ended. How could they fail?

Li Yuan rubbed his brows. He had taken over a mess, and there were enemies outside, and the disciples in the sect were cut off. There was an unspeakable clan above him, and there were tens of thousands of years of ancestors below him.

He cheered up and walked to the place where the spiritual weapons were stored. Anyone who truly cultivated and broke through could choose a spiritual weapon, and as the one in charge of Qi Ling, Li Yuan could choose two.

If you want to get a spiritual weapon again in the future, you need to exchange it for another one. You need to find a spiritual object or spiritual weapon of roughly the same value, and then it can be exchanged after being identified by the array spirit.

Of course, when the sect is in crisis, the formation spirit will naturally cooperate with him to obtain multiple spiritual weapons and objects.

Now, it depends on whether the formation spirit has a good impression of him as a junior.

Li Yuan searched for a while and saw two spiritual weapons. He called out, "Xuanyuan Formation Spirit, I have summoned you to see me!"

This is the benefit of a sect's inheritance from generation to generation. After reading the jade slips of ancestor Wang Xun, Li Yuan has become quite familiar with all the secrets of the Qi Ling Sect.

Ancient sayings like this, if one rushes in to take spiritual objects without being told by ancestors and teachers, one will only be suppressed by the power of the formation.

"Om~"

A foot-tall little man with a glowing aura appeared in front of him and said in a very mature manner, "Boy, what do you want me to do?"

"Senior Zhen Ling, I'm here to get two spiritual weapons for self-defense." Li Yuan replied with a smile.

"Oh, about that. Which two do you like? I'll get them for you.

It's just this time, next time you have to exchange it for the spiritual object!" Upon hearing this, the formation spirit glanced at him several times.

"Of course." Li Yuan pointed to a thick black stick and a cloud ruler and said, "I'll take these two."

The formation spirit looked at them, reached out his hand, and grabbed the two items, saying: "Mid-grade spiritual weapon [Netherworld Silver Mysterious Needle], top-grade spiritual weapon [Fixing Space Yuan Ruler].

These two items must not be passed on, sold, or passed down to future generations. If one day you pass away, they must be returned to you."

Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, then said, "I remember."

"Protect the sect well. You are the only true cultivator in the sect now. If you have any difficulties, come to me."

The formation spirit looked at him again, as if it saw through Li Yuan's mind and supernatural powers at a glance. Since his combat power was not high and his spiritual roots were not very good, he still said something extra.

As an inherited array spirit, it has existed for thousands of years and is quite intelligent. It also roughly understands the current situation of the Qi Ling Sect.

"Thank you, Senior Zhen Ling."

Li Yuan held the two spiritual weapons, put them into the Wanmu Realm, turned around and left the secret space.

No matter how difficult and dangerous this road is, he will always have to face it.
