One Qi Chaoyang

Chapter 120: 119: The Root of Turmoil
The sunlight penetrated into the house, fell on the threshold, and covered Xun Lanyin's pair of black orchid boots with a layer of golden gauze.

"Is the master really still alive?" Zhao Fuyun asked.

Although the current head of Tiandu Mountain is not the founder of the sect, people still call him the head ancestor when they talk about him, and the current head is generally called the head.

Of course he had heard that the sect leader was still alive, but no one had seen him for many years. Zhao Fuyun even thought that it was just external propaganda and that he had actually disappeared a long time ago. Perhaps he was still alive but could no longer be found.

"Of course the master is alive, and there are edicts passed down." Xun Lanyin said.

"Where is the master now?" Zhao Fuyun asked.

"A cultivator who has attained the state of spiritual enlightenment travels around the universe. Who knows where he is?" Xun Lanyin said.

"Then why are we here? Master Xun doesn't know?" Zhao Fuyun asked.

"What if I know, what if I don't know?" Master Xun said, "Don't you think that we, the people of Tiandu Mountain, should practice well on the mountain, and strive to make a golden elixir, transform into a god, and finally travel the universe like our ancestors, which is the real practice."

Zhao Fuyun nodded silently. He felt that being entangled in these fights in this city was a complete waste of time and energy. It made people feel irritated and unhappy. How could they practice safely?

What's more, his practice can be described as ascetic. He doesn't even need spirit stones. He just refines the yin and yang spiritual energy every day and absorbs it into his dantian to form magic power.

So he doesn't like staying here.

"If one could achieve breakthroughs step by step by sitting alone in the mountains and practicing in seclusion, then why would there be so many conflicts in this world?
Everyone says that when the heart is pure, it reflects the various phenomena of heaven and earth and forms a talisman. Then you see, when we build the foundation of Taoism, we form a talisman in the Dantian Qi Sea, which requires the true evil spirit as a guide. When we open the purple talisman again, we also need the enlightenment of the Tiangang to form a new talisman. "

“Everything is inseparable from external things.”

Zhao Fuyun disagreed and said, "But those are all taken from nature."

"The key to a person's spiritual practice is to cultivate the mind. Only when the mind is strong can the power of the mana grow. And the growth of the soul requires experiencing worldly affairs. The struggle in the mountains is worldly affairs, and the struggle here is also worldly affairs."

"Do you know how many foundation-building bodies, purple palaces, and golden elixirs there are in Tiandu Mountain?" Xun Lanyin asked.

Zhao Fuyun shook his head. Of course he didn't know that there were seven people who entered the upper house that day.

"There are 37,523 foundation-building cultivators who came from the lower courtyard of Tiandu Mountain. However, there are only 4,200 who were able to leave soul lamps in the ancestral hall. There are still 72 purple mansions that can be clearly contacted now."

Zhao Fuyun now knows that only those who can leave soul lamps must be Purple Mansion cultivators, so it can be said that only those who have become Purple Mansion can be considered the direct descendants of Tiandu Mountain. Of course, people like him who come from the lower courtyard can also be considered.

Tiandu Mountain was established over a thousand years ago, but has only about 4,200 people. Although it may not have recruited many disciples in the beginning, Tiandu Mountain began to prosper after the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Even so, the number of disciples was not large.

"There are 156 Jindan cultivators on the list, and in the Patriarch's Hall, there are 53 soul lamps that have not been extinguished. But in the mountains, there are only three, and one infant transformation."

When Zhao Fuyun heard that there were only more than 100 golden elixirs among the more than 4,000 registered Purple Mansions, in his opinion, the cultivators who could reach the Purple Mansion were all extremely talented, such as the Master Xun in front of him.

This was the first time Zhao Fuyun knew that there were only three Jindan cultivators and one infant transformation cultivator in the mountain.

He couldn't help but be curious about how many golden elixirs and infant transformations there were in the world. Now was a good opportunity. Master Xun seemed to be talkative, so he opened his mouth to ask.

"A Jindan cultivator can live for 500 years and can revive a country. How many Jindan cultivators are there in the world? Who can tell for sure? The Jindan cultivators in our Tiandu Mountain may suddenly want to cut off the connection with Tiandu Mountain one day. Then the mountain will be unable to contact them. They can also extinguish the soul lamps in the ancestral hall. No one will know whether they are dead or alive."

"Do you know how long it took the founder to go from the Golden Elixir to the Infant Transformation and then to the Divine Transformation?" Xun Lanyin asked.

"How long?" Zhao Fuyun asked. "Only about a hundred years, and our current leader was also a disciple accepted by the founder at that time. He is the only infant transformation besides the founder in the more than a thousand years of history of the Tiandu Mountain sect."

Xun Lanyin seemed to have grasped some information when he said this. He pondered for a moment and said, "The period from when the ancestor reached the golden elixir stage to when he reached the spirit transformation stage, could it be that the period when he helped the Great Zhou Dynasty to establish itself?"

"That's right, the period during which our ancestor went from the Golden Elixir stage to the Spiritual Transformation stage was during that period." Xun Lanyin stood up from the recliner, stepped over the threshold, and came to the front of the courtyard, facing the rising sun. The sun shone on her body, like a rainbow.

Although she built her foundation with water evil instead of fire evil, she now has a lot of mysterious Yin magic power and can still absorb the purple energy of the morning sun to temper her own magic power. Yin cannot last long alone.

"In other words, we from Tiandu Mountain have come into the human world now in order to cause unrest in the world?" Zhao Fuyun asked with some surprise. He felt terrified by his own guess.

Xun Lanyin was silent for a moment, then said, "There is indeed such a saying nowadays, that when the heaven and earth are in turmoil and there are many disasters, it is more suitable for breakthroughs. Because in the past few hundred years of stability, there are almost no breakthroughs among high-level cultivators, the number of Jindan cultivators has decreased, and there are almost no infant transformation cultivators. So some people believe that when the heaven and earth are in turmoil, it is suitable for cultivators to break through. Disaster and luck go together."

Zhao Fuyun listened quietly. Xun Lanyin continued, "But we in Tiandu Mountain have never thought of actively creating any disasters or disputes. It's just that there are many contradictions between heaven and earth at the moment, and it's indeed time to reshuffle the cards."

"Look at this Great Zhou Kingdom. It has been established for such a long time. The aristocratic families, the royal family, and the small sects within it are full of conflicts. You have seldom been around the world, so it is inevitable that you don't have a deep understanding of it. You are practicing asceticism, so you can't understand that those people often assassinate, challenge, and fight in groups in order to compete for those resources, such as spiritual stones for cultivation, elixirs, and precious materials for refining treasures."

"For example, a few days ago, the Shui tribe attacked dozens of villages in one night at the mouth of Sanchuan Lake. The means were extremely cruel. The reason was that the Shui tribe had been hunted for a long time and had no way to complain, so they attacked more than a dozen villages by the lake in anger."

"Also, some conflicts caused by mineral resources have never stopped. This can be seen from the rampant bandits in various places over the years."

Xun Lanyin suddenly stretched out her hand and drew in the air. The movement was not fast, but it seemed as if she was using the air as paper and writing a spell.

"Then we in Tiandu Mountain should be the guardian?" Zhao Fuyun asked.

"Yes and no." Xun Lanyin kept moving.

"Firstly, there is the decree of our ancestors, and secondly, the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty has indeed given us a great benefit. You will know about it in the future."

"Another reason is that most people in the mountains also want to get involved. Although they are not the source of the unrest, they also want to experience this disaster in the human world."

Zhao Fuyun understood that, after all, they were all cultivators, and when they saw the sky and the earth shaking, they did not want to close the mountain gate and guard the cave, but wanted to come down and give it a try.

"So who is the person or force that wants to launch this disaster now?" Zhao Fuyun asked.

"It's hard to say. The Great Zhou royal family has its own judgment. One is the Qianshan Kingdom, one is the Wujian Ghost Realm in the west, and the other is the sea tribe from the sea." Xun Lanyin said.

"Sea Clan?" Zhao Fuyun didn't know much about them, so he couldn't help but ask, "Sea Clan live in the sea, how do they have anything to do with us who live on the earth?"

"Many of the sea tribes used to live on land, but were driven into the sea. Many of them can live on both land and water. Moreover, the water tribes on land have always been connected with the sea tribes. Their resentment has accumulated for so many years and has never stopped."

Zhao Fuyun was silent for a while, because he found that although he was a cultivator, he was unable to perceive the joys, sorrows, anger and happiness of many other beings.

　After twelve o'clock, the monthly tickets will be doubled. Brothers and sisters, look at me, poor me on the monthly ticket ranking list.

　　I'll write again.

　　As for what I owe, well... woo woo woo...
