Longevity Thunder Ancestor
Chapter 482 Zeyuan passed away
Chapter 482 Zeyuan passed away
Upon hearing this, Ning Fa's expression changed slightly.
After he joined the Huayu Sect, he had a general understanding of the Seven Kingdoms of Yunhuang.
Among these seven countries, the overall strength of Jiang State should be medium, while the overall strength of Wu State is definitely far ahead of the other six countries.
What is more peculiar is that although the area of Wu Kingdom is two or three times that of Jiang Kingdom, it only has three major Nascent Soul Sects, namely Shenxin Sect, Chilian Sect and Heyi Sect.
Although there are only three major sects, the strength of each of these sects can definitely be called a super sect when compared to ordinary sects like Huayu Sect and Wanfa Sect, which only have one Nascent Soul cultivator.
Each of these three sects has no fewer than five Nascent Soul cultivators, and even no fewer than two mid-Nascent Soul cultivators.
Especially the strongest Shenxin Sect, which has nearly ten Nascent Soul cultivators.
The sect's foundation is far from comparable to that of ordinary sects like the Huayu Sect.
Not to mention, the number one cultivator, Kongli Zhenjun, who has dominated the seven countries of Yunhuang for hundreds of years, is the leader of the Shenxin Sect.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Seven Kingdoms of Yunhuang have been able to remain stable for so many years, and the Demonic Alliance has not invaded easily. Lord Kongli, a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage, has played a great deterrent role.
It is said that the inheritance of the Shenxing Sect is quite special, especially the position of the goddess is very important.
Even an ordinary woman with a natural spiritual root may not be qualified to take on the role.
Even if the Shenxin Sect leaves this position vacant, they will not arbitrarily enthrone a goddess.
This shows the extraordinary nature of the goddess Zhu Lingyun.
While Ning Fa was daydreaming, Cao Xian was telling him incessantly about the rumors about the Shenxing Sect and the goddess.
How about he successfully advanced to the Nascent Soul stage before he was 300 years old, and was even a fourth-rank formation master, and there was also that extremely rare five-colored peacock that was said to have the bloodline of a holy demon.
Ningfa listened with great interest, but at this moment, a flash of fire appeared before his eyes.
Then, his master Cheng Ziyi's sorrowful voice reached his ears: "Xiao Fa, please come quickly. Your uncle-in-law...is dying."
Ning Fa's face suddenly changed, he stood up and flew away in a hurry.
Soon after, he flew into a building in the city.
I saw that many foundation-building cultivators from the Cheng family had come to the courtyard. They were all high-ranking figures of the Cheng family. Everyone had a sad look on their faces, and at the same time, they were full of fear about the future.
"Xiao Fa, you're here. Come in quickly. The Great Elder is waiting to see you for the last time." Uncle Fu, with white hair and beard, said to Ning Fa with a sad face.
Ningfa nodded heavily and slowly walked into the room.
The only people in the room were Cheng Zeyuan lying on the bed and Cheng Ziyi sitting next to him.
Cheng Zeyuan's face was pale, his eyes were dull, and his aura was faint.
Ning Fa took a quick look with his spiritual sense and knew that he had very little chance of survival and was just holding on for a breath.
"Master, who hurt our uncle?" Ning Fa asked with a heavy heart.
Cheng Ziyi, who was always cold and serious, now had red eyes. She shook her head with sadness and said, "The situation in the previous attack and defense was too urgent, and Big Brother had to go to the battle. As a result, he was severely injured by a late Jindan Demon Sect cultivator on the opposite side. Now there is no way to save him..."
Ningfa fell silent.
At this time, Cheng Zeyuan struggled to sit up. His originally pale face turned rosy, and he even looked much more energetic.
Ning Fa sighed in his heart, knowing that his uncle was now in his last moments of life and would soon pass away.
"Xiao Fa, come here." Cheng Zeyuan waved to Ning Fa reluctantly and said while panting.
Ning Fa walked over and said in a deep voice, "Master, go ahead and talk. I'm listening."
Cheng Zeyuan looked at him and sighed, "Xiao Fa, it is really our Cheng family's luck that you can join our Cheng family.
This way, even if I pass away, I will feel much more at ease.
Otherwise, Ziyi is the only one in this huge Cheng family, and I’m really afraid that she can’t handle it.
If that happens, I won't be able to rest in peace even if I die.
Xiaofa, the Cheng family will rely on Ziyi and you in the future, so you should help Ziyi more. "
Upon hearing this, Cheng Ziyi began to sob softly.
Ning Fa looked at Cheng Zeyuan's eyes full of earnest hope and said without hesitation, "Uncle Master, go ahead and rest assured. I will protect the Cheng family from now on!"
Facing the dying Cheng Zeyuan, Ning Fa put aside his modesty and spoke in a domineering manner.
"Haha, okay... okay... okay." Cheng Zeyuan smiled with relief.
"Xiao Fa, please go out first. I have a few final words to say to your master."
Ningfa took a last look at him and then walked out of the room with a heavy expression.
Cheng Zeyuan looked at Cheng Ziyi, whose face was filled with sadness, and sighed softly, then said, "Ziyi..."
Speaking of the latter part, Cheng Zeyuan actually used his spiritual sense to transmit sound.
After hearing this, Cheng Ziyi looked at him in shock.
After saying this, Cheng Zeyuan smiled slightly, his eyes slowly closed, and he passed away. "Brother!" Cheng Ziyi came to her senses and threw herself on him, crying bitterly.
Ning Fa, who was outside the room, had already sensed that Cheng Zeyuan's vitality had completely disappeared, and he let out a long sigh.
Everyone in the Cheng family in the courtyard burst into tears, and the atmosphere was so sad that it was unbearable to look at.
In the following days, hundreds of core members of the Cheng family in Julu City wore mourning clothes to bid farewell to Cheng Zeyuan.
In the attack and defense of Julu City, two Jindan cultivators from the Jiang Kingdom's immortal cultivation world died in the battle, and Cheng Zeyuan was the one with the highest realm and status.
Considering Cheng Zeyuan's status, Huayu Sect also held a grand funeral for him.
The funeral was presided over by the Grand Elder of Huayu Sect, Donghua Zhenjun, and many Jindan Zhenren attended the whole process.
But after the funeral, the Cheng family faced a serious situation.
After all, the essence of the world of immortal cultivation is still the law of the jungle.
Although everyone knew that the Cheng family was already very weak, there were still two Jindan cultivators, especially Cheng Zeyuan who was in the middle Jindan realm.
Now that he has passed away, the huge Cheng family is left with only Cheng Ziyi, who is at the early Jindan stage. The weakness of the Cheng family is immediately exposed.
If the Cheng family was an ordinary cultivation family, it would be fine. Having only one Jindan cultivator would be enough to keep the family safe.
But the problem is that the Cheng family has always been one of the four major families in the Huayu Sect, and the status and power it holds in the sect is not comparable to that of an ordinary Jindan family.
The four major families are not just talk, they have actual rights and interests within the sect and have many privileges.
For example, there are a lot of places available for inner disciples every year, and people can enter directly without going through any assessments.
Every year, they are allocated some high-level rare spiritual objects and places in some special trial venues.
They have priority mining rights to some high-quality spiritual medicine gardens, spiritual mineral veins, spiritual fields and other resource points, and the taxes paid to the sect are much lower.
These privileges are very important for a cultivation family, and are also coveted by many cultivation families that later joined the sect, such as the Xia family.
However, in order to balance the power of the Huayu Sect, the former great elder stipulated that only four families in the family faction could enjoy these privileges.
It has always been firmly controlled by the four major families: Ouyang, Duanmu, Ji, and Cheng.
Now that Cheng family's great elder Cheng Zeyuan has passed away, the Cheng family has fallen into an unprecedented moment of weakness, which has given other qualified families an opportunity, hoping to kick out the Cheng family and replace it to become one of the new four major families.
Among them, the Xia family is the most powerful and also the most promising.
As soon as Cheng Zeyuan passed away, the two Jindan elders of the Xia family were already running around, frequently visiting the Ouyang family, the Duanmu family, and the Ji family.
Cheng Ziyi did not sit idly by, but frequently contacted the Jindan elders who had been on good terms with the Cheng family, and also negotiated with the other three families, promising to pass on a large amount of benefits in order to temporarily maintain the status of the four major families of the Cheng family.
However, facing the Xia family, which is now on the rise, the other three families still made a decision and secretly reached an agreement, whereby the head of the Ouyang family would go to meet the grand elder of the Huayu Sect, Master Donghua.
On an observatory about a hundred feet high in Julu City, a strong wind was blowing.
Ouyang Zhenhua, the head of the Ouyang family, who was wearing a cloud-patterned Confucian robe, said respectfully to Donghua Zhenjun, who was wearing white clothes and looked like a handsome young man in front of him:
"Ancestor, the current strength of the Cheng family is seriously mismatched with the status of the four major families. Should the Xia family take its place?
Only in this way can our family faction regain its balance with the master-disciple faction, meeting your expectations, Old Ancestor."
Master Donghua did not answer for a moment, but stared at the night sky with his hands behind his back.
Then he said calmly: "Over the years, Tianning has made great contributions to our sect. We can't do this kind of thing right after he dies.
Pass on my decree to maintain the Cheng family's current status for ten years, and then make a judgment after ten years."
Ouyang Zhenhua couldn't help but frown, but he didn't dare to object in the end. He clasped his hands together and slowly retreated.
Master Donghua was still looking at the sky.
I saw a star in the sky falling dimly, while another bright star was rising slowly.
……
At Cheng Ziyi's residence, she felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted off her shoulders after receiving the exact news. She let out a long sigh and leaned back in her chair, but obvious fatigue was still clearly visible on her beautiful face.
Then she forced herself to cheer up and said to Ning Fa beside her with a smile: "Xiao Fa, good news, the Supreme Elder has personally ordered that the status of our Cheng family will remain unchanged within ten years."
Ning Fa was a little surprised, but then a look of delight appeared on his face, and he couldn't help but feel a little fond of this supreme elder.
His eyes flashed. Although ten years was not a long time, it was very precious to him.
He didn't dare to say that he would be able to break through to the Golden Core stage within ten years, but he still had some confidence that he could cultivate into the Xuan Lei True Body within ten years.
By then, he will be able to truly compete with the Jindan cultivators.
At this time, Cheng Ziyi looked at Ning Fa, her eyes twinkling, and she sighed and said, "Xiao Fa, the current situation of our Cheng family may affect you, and your selection in the Seven Heroes of the Sect may be affected."
Ning Fa's expression changed slightly.
Although the selection of the seven heroes of the sect mainly depends on personal strength and contribution to the sect, when the gap is not particularly large, the origin of the disciple will have a great influence.
The Cheng family’s current extremely weak situation will indeed have a negative impact.
Ning Fa, however, smiled nonchalantly and said in a domineering tone, "If that's the case, then I'll widen the gap between myself and the other candidates, so that the sect leaders will have to choose me even if they close their eyes!"
