I use my supernatural powers to prove my immortality

Chapter 428: Bai Laozu's Thousand-Layered Routine

With in-depth communication with Anlan Yuanjun Han Danniang, Zhong Lixiao finally had a general understanding of the current situation in the world.

In a word, it is... chaos.

The Star Gate and the rebuilt Yellow Springs Demon Sect are high above, watching what happens in the world.

The other righteous and evil forces are all fighting to cross!

It is becoming increasingly difficult to determine who are our friends and who are our enemies.

The boundary between good and evil is becoming increasingly blurred.

For example, Baiyun Temple has been under increasing pressure in recent years.

One reason is that Baiyun Temple, as the guardian sect of Da Chu, occupies too large an area. Under normal circumstances, many sects probably would not care too much about these mortal countries.

Even if Baiyun Temple is in nominal rule, as long as it does not affect his ability to recruit disciples, that is enough.

After all, there are only a handful of cultivators in the world who possess spiritual roots and can cultivate immortality.

But now it is different. All the major sects in the world have begun to interfere in the mortal world.

The result of this intervention was that the State of Chu fell into division and entered the Warring States Period.

Although the Chu Dynasty had not yet completely collapsed, the territory it could control had shrunk dramatically.

All places have entered an era of warlords fighting each other!
If in the mortal world, cultivators still have some concerns to a certain extent, even if they want to carry out a large-scale massacre, they will hide among the mortal armies.

It was like a black hand behind the scenes, secretly fanning the flames and pushing the many warlords in the world to fight each other.

In the world of cultivating immortals, the fights have become much more blatant.

Perhaps inspired by the enlightenment of the Demon Lord Huangquan, the righteous sects that slay demons and eliminate evil will now widely publicize the name of chivalry.

The same reason.

If the Demon Sect did something big, they would publicize it widely and spread terror to the extreme.

In short, he wanted to spread his name, the leader of the sect, throughout the world and imprint it in the hearts of the people.

When Zhong Lixiao heard the news, he immediately understood why Han Danniang had repeatedly declared that she would protect the world in the name of her lord, and even used the "Golden Thirty Years" as an important propaganda slogan.

It turned out that Han Danniang was imitating the actions of the Demon Lord before he attained enlightenment, in order to make him famous.

After understanding Han Danniang's intention, Zhong Lixiao did not feel ashamed or angry. Instead, he felt the burden on his shoulders became heavier.

Proving the truth is not only about whether he can get rid of the threat of the Star Lord, but also about the fate of all the people he cares about.

In the battle for supremacy, he must do his best to win!
"Just go for it. I will always be your strongest supporter."

"promise."

Han Danniang burst into laughter.

The lord finally understood her intention. Very good, very good!

After bidding farewell to Han Danniang, Zhong Lixiao simply walked around the major immortal cities within the territory of Chu State.

The first feeling is decline.

The once prosperous fairy city is now in a state of panic. There are obviously fewer pedestrians on the streets, and a large number of shops have closed.

Zhong Lixiao could understand this. Any cultivator who had the conditions would most likely stay indoors.

And this is indeed a good way to avoid disaster!
The second thing that particularly caught Zhong Lixiao's attention was that a large number of Five Spirits Mingjing Towers were destroyed.

Zhong Lixiao also rose from the bottom, so he naturally understood how much manpower and materials would be needed to build a Five Spirits Mingjing Tower.

Take the Wuling Mingjing Tower in Taiyang County for example. Before the tower was built, it indirectly caused a life-and-death battle between the Pei family of Yueya Lake and the Zhong family of Taoyuan.

Many small forces in the surrounding area began to hoard the Five Elements spiritual materials upon hearing the news, just like they were speculating in futures, artificially driving up the prices of many Five Elements spiritual materials.

It even caused the destruction of many small forces.
From these details, we can see how much it costs to build a Five Spirits Mingjing Tower.

Once it is destroyed, if Baiyun Temple wants to rebuild it, it will cost a lot of money.

Zhong Lixiao could understand that some people with ulterior motives would destroy the "camera" first before doing bad things.

But the problem is that the current Wuling Mingjing Tower is more than just a camera.

It is the network center of the ground network, a signal tower, and also the hub of the Baiyunguan ground vein highway.

As the number of Five Spirits Mingjing Towers increased and the network was completely completed, the cultivators in Baiyun Temple and even in the territory of Chu State had basically become accustomed to the existence of the Five Spirits Mingjing Towers.

Has the economic war already begun? !

Along the way, a large number of Five Spirits Mingjing Towers were damaged and failed to be repaired in time, which is very telling.

At least it shows that Baiyun Temple is in poor economic condition, and many of the damaged Wuling Mingjing Towers are no longer able to be repaired.

Zhong Lixiao seemed to be thinking about something, and when he thought about the current disintegration of Da Chu, he suddenly realized the importance of the matter.

The destruction of the Wuling Mingjing Tower might be a precursor to invasion!

Zhong Lixiao did not stay any longer, but quickly rushed to Baiyun Temple.

Half a day later.

Zhong Lixiao successfully returned to Baiyun Temple. He took a quick look with his spiritual sense and the first thing he felt was emptiness.

The number of monks still inside the mountain gate was less than one-third of what he had imagined.

Zhong Lixiao frowned and realized the seriousness of the situation again.

Floating cloud top.

As soon as Zhong Lixiao arrived, the first thing he felt was the aura of Dan Formation.

With a quick glance of his spiritual sense, he immediately understood what was going on.

It was Xue Jingliang, who was forming his elixir again under the protection of the ancestor Bai Tingyuan.

Zhong Lixiao knew a little about this situation.

At that time, although he was still in Longyuan Sea and was billions of miles away from Floating Cloud Fairy Mountain, he had almost stepped into the realm of Taoist master with the help of the Divine Flag.

The moment the magical power "Flower of Love" was triggered, he sensed it directly, and with the help of the Divine Flag, he slashed the Shadow Master several times.

Although he managed to save Xue Jingliang's life with great difficulty, he would rather die in glory than live in disgrace, so he still blew up his inner elixir.

Now it seems that Patriarch Bai must have paid a huge price to help Xue Jingliang form the elixir again.

At this moment, a figure rushed in front of Zhong Lixiao. It was none other than the ancestor Bai Tingyuanbai.

Seeing Zhong Lixiao come back alive, Bai Tingyuan was overjoyed, and even felt a little relieved.

Zhong Lixiao immediately bowed and said, "Lixiao greets the ancestor."

Upon hearing this, Bai Tingyuan laughed and said, "After hiding for so long, Li Xiao can finally reveal his true identity to others. This is cause for celebration."

When Zhong Lixiao heard this, a smile immediately appeared on his face.

Yes, it seems to be just a simple return to my true form, but in fact it is a manifestation of absolute confidence in one's strength.

What is demonstrated is the dignity of being alive!
Looking around the world, how many people dare to say that they can live with dignity?

Speaking of this, Zhong Lixiao felt a little bitter.

He had just resolved the threat from the God Lord, and in the blink of an eye he was back on the Star Lord's menu. How miserable he was.

However, these are not something that can be told to outsiders for the time being.

If the Star Lord really attacks him, there will be no point even if I tell Old Ancestor Bai.

In the end, it only added to Old Ancestor Bai's troubles and mental demons.

If Old Ancestor Bai could attain enlightenment in time, perhaps that would be a good solution to the urgent problem.

Zhong Lixiao smiled and said, "Thank you very much, old ancestor, for taking the trouble to personally save Jingliang at such a high cost."

Bai Tingyuan smiled when he heard this, "Why should we be so polite to each other?"

"In Longyuan Sea, at the critical moment, if Li Xiao hadn't intervened, my clone might have been killed by Yin Yang Taoist. Moreover, Jing Liang still needs to manage the basic situation in the mortal world."

If a divine incarnation is killed, the impact will be quite large.

If he fails to preserve this clone, Bai Tingyuan's real body will only become weaker, and he will become more cautious in his actions, and will be left further behind by other sects.

In addition, Zhong Lixiao also understood what Old Ancestor Bai was planning.

Xue Jingliang was once the Grand Marshal of the Chu State's army. He had been in the army all his life and had fought in battles all his life, so he knew military affairs best.

Leaving the State of Chu to Jingliang to manage is a good match for his profession.

After all, Xue Jingliang had once turned the tide.

"Is the situation in Chu State very bad?"

"It's very bad. Warlords are fighting each other and the people are living in misery. The country is torn apart and the territory directly controlled by the court is less than one-fifth. And this is even though Baiyun Temple has sent a large number of disciples to continuously help the Chu court stabilize the situation."

When talking about this topic, Bai Tingyuan was more or less sad.

If it were an ordinary time, just a mortal country, I would just give it up.

But now it is about proving the truth, especially with the Demon Lord’s successful experience.

Whether it means killing or branding its reputation into the hearts of the people of the world, Baiyun Temple cannot simply give up the Chu court.

"If the disciples of Baiyun Temple had not spared no effort to protect the Chu State, the dynasty might have changed by now. Of course, there are also major sects that want to continue bleeding Baiyun Temple, maintain the separatist rule of the warlords, and continue to reap the benefits."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Lixiao couldn't help but feel compassion and mercy.

When a country prospers, the people suffer; when a country perishes, the people suffer. When they, the immortal cultivators, say "harvest", they don't know how many lives will be sacrificed.

The mortal world and the world of immortals seem to be clearly separated, but in fact, these people in the mountains always profoundly influence the fate of the mortal court and the people.

I would rather be a peace dog than a person in troubled times.

The long-lasting war between warlords may result in only one in ten people surviving on earth. That is too cruel!

At this moment, Zhong Lixiao also extremely supported his eldest disciple Xue Jingliang to turn the tide and save his life.

However, Zhong Lixiao's heart moved and he thought of something.

"Have all the factions united to target Baiyun Temple?"

Bai Tingyuan smiled bitterly and nodded, "Yes, who told us that we now have two Transformed Gods in Baiyun Temple? Moreover, Li Xiao once knocked the God King down from the position of Dao Lord. Now the world believes that Li Xiao may have reserved a position as a Dao Lord. How could they let me easily attain Dao?"

Zhong Lixiao was speechless for a moment after hearing this.

This may be what is meant by “A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind”!

But the current situation is that he has not yet completely found his own way, so how can he prove his way?

"Who on earth spread the rumor that I would definitely occupy the position of Taoist Chairman?"

Bai Tingyuan was surprised and asked, "Li Xiao has no confidence? You were almost at the Dao Master level with the help of the Divine Control Flag!"

"."

Zhong Lixiao said sourly, "That is the way of the God, not mine. It was already very difficult for me to maintain my identity under the way of the God."

When Bai Tingyuan heard this, he immediately became curious.

"How to say?"

Zhong Lixiao: "It's a symbol. Even if the Taoist still has a personified self after attaining enlightenment, he will essentially be transformed into a symbol."

"Only the Tao master who upholds this Tao can resist this Taoism."

Upon hearing this, Bai Tingyuan immediately understood, even more than Zhong Lixiao.

Because he was one of the powerful men who listened to the revelation thousands of years ago, the extreme of the mountain has always been his pursuit.

Just thinking of this, Bai Tingyuan couldn't help feeling bitter.

"It may be difficult for me to succeed in proving my truth, Li Xiao. If Baiyun Temple wants to become an immortal holy place, it may all depend on you!"

Zhong Lixiao: “???”

He had just been counting on Old Ancestor Bai to attain enlightenment and then help him fight against the threat from the Star Lord.

As a result, in the blink of an eye, Old Ancestor Bai placed his hope of achieving enlightenment on him?
No!
Ancestor Bai, you better try harder!
His current real realm is still just the Nascent Soul stage. Who knows when he will be able to reach the level of enlightenment?

Zhong Lixiao asked hurriedly, "Ancestor, what difficulties have you encountered? Why don't you even have hope of attaining the pinnacle of the Dao Mountain?"

Bai Tingyuan couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"Because a year ago, my original body personally saw the Divine Lord take action, and my clone personally saw you, Li Xiao, take action. Dao Master, this is a peak that I can never surpass no matter what!"

Zhong Lixiao understood something immediately after hearing this.

What is that at the top of the mountain?
Tianzhu, the highest peak in the world.

In the past, Bai Tingyuan had always boasted about it, and his external propaganda had always been that the height of Floating Cloud Fairy Mountain depended on the height of Bai Tingyuan, who stood on top of the clouds.

Now Bai Tingyuan suddenly realized that even if he stood on top of the floating clouds, he could hardly reach the peak that the Taoist master could climb.

Zhong Lixiao felt a little strange for a moment and couldn't help asking, "Grandmaster, why are you so stubborn?"

"With your divine body, no matter how high you are, how can you be higher than the Taoist master?"

"This is not a battle of the same level. Even if we lose, it is still an honorable defeat. The Demon Lord was almost killed by the God."

wrong!

Zhong Lixiao immediately realized that Old Ancestor Bai might have done this intentionally to make way for him.

Zhong Lixiao immediately said solemnly, "Old Ancestor, you don't have to give way to me. After all, there are still four Dao Lords in this world."

"If it really doesn't work, the worst that can happen is that I can go to the underworld to prove my truth!"

When talking about going to the underworld to preach the truth, Zhong Lixiao's tone was still sonorous.

If it really came to the point where he needed to go to the underworld to attain enlightenment, it might not be impossible for Zhong Lixiao to attain enlightenment there.

Anyway, his path will definitely tend to be more inclined to create his own world in the end.

Whether it is the world of the living or the world of the dead, there is no absolute difference in essence.

Bai Tingyuan looked at Zhong Lixiao who was so confident that he couldn't help but be distracted for a moment.

“Li Xiao, compared to you, I am indeed still old and feeble. If Baiyun Temple fully supports you in attaining enlightenment, perhaps it can really surpass the current Qunxing Sect and Huangquan Demon Sect and become an even greater immortal holy land.”

Zhong Lixiao was speechless when he heard this.

However, Zhong Lixiao soon came to his senses.

All the gods in the world are eyeing the position of the Taoist master, so how can they give up their way so easily?

You have to know that Bai Tingyuan is a ruthless man who personally created the immortal foundation of Baiyun Temple bit by bit in the ruins of Tianwei Mountain. He is not a gentle, humble and courteous person.

After a little thought, Zhong Lixiao suddenly understood.

Ancestor Bai Tingyuan, this is most likely a move of retreat in order to advance!
Since ancient times, true feelings can't be kept, only routines can win people's hearts.

Although Zhong Lixiao knew that Old Ancestor Bai was playing tricks, he did not feel much resentment in his heart.

Because the struggle for morality is always cruel.

This must be because Old Ancestor Bai is worried that he will have a falling out with him!

"Grandmaster, please don't test me. I definitely won't be able to attain enlightenment in a short period of time. If you are interested in attaining enlightenment, Li Xiao will definitely assist you with all his strength."

When Bai Tingyuan heard this, a smile immediately appeared on his face, but at the same time he couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

However, an old man who refuses to die is a thief, and Bai Tingyuan is definitely thick-skinned beyond imagination when he needs to be.

Bai Tingyuan said straight to the point, "Li Xiao is indeed perceptive. I would feel very relieved if I hand over Baiyun Temple to you."

This is very interesting. The first thing he did was to hand over the Baiyun Temple's foundation to Zhong Lixiao, which was also a way out for the previous test.

Zhong Lixiao did not comment.

The Baiyun Temple foundation does not have much appeal to him now.

Old Ancestor Bai must also know this!
but.

For Zhong Lixiao, the sphere of influence of Baiyun Temple must be maintained.

Because the order of Baiyun Temple is the source of power for his magical power "Law of Power".

Bai Tingyuan: "If I'm not mistaken, Li Xiao is still a Nascent Soul now, right? If not, you wouldn't risk going to Longyuan Sea in your true body!"

Zhong Lixiao laughed and said, "Is it still exposed? As expected, it can't be hidden from the old ancestor's keen eyes!"

When Bai Tingyuan heard this, he was so shocked that he couldn't even imagine it.

Speculation is one thing, confirmation is another.

With a mere Nascent Soul body, he first killed the God Sovereign and the White Tiger Supreme's clones, and then knocked the God Sovereign down from the position of Tao Lord. It is simply unimaginable!
It's outrageous!
Bai Tingyuan took a deep breath and said sincerely, "Li Xiao, since I guessed that you might be a Nascent Soul, I have been unable to calm down for a long time."

"I just said that I intend to fully support you in preaching the truth, but that's not all just a test. Do you believe it?"

Zhong Lixiao naturally believed it.

Because after Old Ancestor Bai guessed that his true realm was Nascent Soul, he would definitely be deeply shocked by his talent and his secrets.

It is very possible to feel inferior to others or even ashamed of yourself.

It is normal to have the thought of fully supporting his preaching for a while.

After all, Baiyun Temple's resources are limited.

Faced with the tacit joint attack of many sects, concentrating resources to accomplish great things and fully supporting one person to achieve enlightenment, then perhaps there is a chance of success.

but.

People's hearts are also changeable!

Faced with the temptation of the Great Dao, I believe that no cultivator in the world can resist it.

Zhong Lixiao could understand, so he also understood the confusion and struggle that Old Ancestor Bai was feeling at this moment.

Why take the risk of testing people's hearts?
Zhong Lixiao said bluntly, "Grandmaster, I am still a long way from achieving enlightenment, and I have offended the Star Lord."

Zhong Lixiao briefly mentioned the grievances between him and the Star Lord, and Bai Tingyuan immediately took a breath of cold air.

You just resolved the conflict with the God, and in the blink of an eye you're confronting the Star Lord again?
It's so simple!

This made Bai Tingyuan a little confused!

but.

There is one thing that Bai Tingyuan has completely confirmed - someone must prove the truth in Baiyun Temple.

If no one proves the truth, this thousand-year-old foundation will most likely not be preserved.

Although the pressure was enormous, both of them actually felt somewhat relieved.

Because they unexpectedly reached a consensus on who should attain enlightenment, at least the risk of internal strife or even division in Baiyun Temple was eliminated.

How lucky are you? !
