After cultivating immortality, she devoted herself to becoming an ancestor

Chapter 168 Knife
"That depends on your sincerity, King of Mahjong." Shen Suiren had no idea when his grandmaster and the others would come in.

One of the demon cultivators said angrily, "My elders are already being demoted, isn't that enough sincerity?"

“As clever as you Mahjong Kings are, there are quite a few who have voluntarily surrendered.”

If you don't add more ingredients, others will.

"I'll think about it. See you tomorrow." Shen Suiren immediately ended the call. She quickly checked on the others who were trapped, wondering if they had any will to live.

Of course, she was very careful to conceal her presence afterward, trying her best not to be discovered.

After observing several trap formations, some demon cultivators actually began to suspect the fall of the Sparrow King and the Mahayana elders of his clan.

However, the cultivators trapped in the Taiyuan Sect were discussing something else entirely:
"I feel that the secret realm may never be able to return to the Great Wilderness."

Normally, it can only stay in the Taiyuan Realm for nine days, and it is free to enter and leave.

"Counting the day after the battle, it was the tenth day, and the cultivators from the Taiyuan Realm actually withdrew smoothly."

"Wait and see. If no one enters in a few more days, it means the secret realm has returned to normal."

It seems the senior brothers and sisters who haven't yet entered the fray are also waiting for their chance to break the formation.

"Alas, our mission failed before it even began. I don't know how to explain this to the Supreme Elder when we get back."

"You don't need to explain. Eight of the Great Ascension cultivators of the Taiyuan Sect have already perished under the Lesser Heavenly Tribulation." This was Shen Suiren's speculation. The enemy had twelve Great Ascension cultivators, so it wouldn't be many for four to survive.

Immediately, someone stood up and said, "How dare you curse my sect's elders!"

As they spoke, they began bombarding their surroundings, but the trapping formation buzzed and shifted, instantly shrinking the space around them.

Shen Suiren was too lazy to pay attention anymore, and looked at other trapped formations. Anyone who had tried to abduct her had been given a makeover by her, and those trapped were suffering a fate worse than death.

The secret realm was very quiet, but the spirit world had been fighting fiercely lately. Suddenly one day, the Taiyuan Sect's mountain gate was reduced to ashes in a raging fire.

More than half a month later, the entrance and exit flashed with light. The little fox king spotted Chongming at a glance and jumped up with joy, "Waaah, my family! They've finally come!"

However, Chongming had a mission and did not enter the secret palace. After communicating with Shen Suiren using the communication jade, he transformed into his original form and flew over tens of thousands of miles, loudly proclaiming the names of one Taiyuan Sect and Demon Court elder after another.

"...All of the above have perished under the Lesser Heavenly Tribulation. The Taiyuan Sect was attacked by cultivators from the Six Realms and no longer exists."

The eight Nascent Soul cultivators who walked out of the exit earlier have already perished and their cultivation has vanished.

I urge you all not to harbor any illusions. The Northern Mysterious Realm was originally a region of the Taiyuan Realm, and now that it has returned, it will never leave again.

The core of the secret array is also controlled by a descendant of the ancient array sect. Those who wish to continue the duel are welcome to come at me.

After saying that, she quickly left the secret realm.

Shen Suiren observed the changes in the people trapped in the formation and found that their morale had indeed plummeted, but some were also cursing that it was a rumor.

So many people have died in just a few days.

With only two Mahayana cultivators remaining, the Taiyuan Sect, with the tacit approval of the Purple Dragon King, led hundreds of disciples to the far west.

"At the beginning of the year, was that living Daoist Lord Zhuang a relative of yours?" The Little Fox King was also very surprised.

Shen Suiren was unaware of this. She took the communication jade and examined it carefully again: "Chongming said that the Zitang Dragon King not only protected some dragons during their tribulations, but also helped some Mahayana cultivators from other realms successfully pass their minor tribulations. Furthermore, these people led the dismantling of the Taiyuan Sect."

Not many of the lower-ranking disciples of the Taiyuan Sect died; their losses were all included in the assets and distributed across several realms.

All parties are busy dividing up the Taiyuan Sect's assets in the spirit realm; they have neither the time nor the ability to cause trouble for us.

Because, in the human race of the six realms today, there are at most seven or eight Mahayana stage cultivators alive in each realm, and they all have conflicts.

Haha, the Purple Lotus Dragon King has mastered the art of alliances and betrayals.

Did she ascend to heaven?

"Chongming didn't write it."

"I hope she ascends to immortality."

"Yes, I also hope that the Nascent Soul cultivators from various sects will come to the secret realm soon, whether to kill them or persuade them to surrender, so as to end this matter as soon as possible."

So that more young people can come in to learn formations, inherit the formation sect and the way of formations, and fulfill the last wish of the ancestor. The ancestor left very gracefully.

Shen Suiren's first idea was quickly realized; in less than an hour, numerous Nascent Soul cultivators returned to the secret realm.

The conditions she proposed were much harsher: all those who surrendered would be demoted to the Core Formation stage.

Then, the Peacock Demon King flew across the entire territory to gather the Sparrow Clan and reduce their cultivation levels before leading them out of the secret realm.

The Sparrow Clan set an example: regardless of whether one is a human or a demon cultivator, anyone willing to lower their rank and surrender will not only be accepted by the Taiyuan Realm but will also be given a cultivation cave. Those who refuse will be killed.

Most people don't want to be demoted, so there's still a fight to be had.

After successfully annihilating most of the Nascent Soul cultivators, the Taiyuan Realm simply turned the secret realm into a training ground for Core Formation disciples, allowing everyone to take turns fighting.

Shen Suiren and the Little Fox King stayed in the secret palace for four years before the entire secret realm was finally cleaned up.

When she left, the secret palace was taken over by array masters from various sects, who led disciples with outstanding talent in array techniques to study it.

Zhu Kuang came to visit with the Nascent Soul cultivators. Seeing that her cultivation was solid, he gave her a lot of talismans. "Your father is getting impatient. Go and see her quickly."

"Hmm, my master was injured in the last battle, has he recovered?"

"You've recovered, and we're making you soup at the camp."

"It's been so long since I've had Master's ginseng soup, I really miss it." But Shen Suiren couldn't leave right away, her friend was waving to her from the other side.

"At the beginning of the year, aren't you going to stay and cultivate with us?" Yao Niaoniao and the members of the small team finally received the reward of entering the secret mansion for cultivation after several years.

Shen Sui came over and complained, "I've been locked up for too long, I need to go out and have some fun."

Niao Niao, you don't know that the Little Fox King is so angry that he's scratching the table to vent his frustration. If you don't leave soon, she'll scratch me.

Why haven't Nie Chengzhang and Yun Chuan come to their seclusion? Has Juexing already formed his core?

"The little monk was striving to be the youngest to form his core, and he succeeded a month ago. He's still stabilizing his cultivation. Hahaha, what a loss." Cheng Zhishun laughed, but then realized something was off. It seemed that the secret mansion's spiritual pool was for Core Formation cultivators to form their Nascent Soul.

"Yun Chuan is already attempting to break through to the Core Formation stage at the Taiyi Sect, and I heard he's reached a critical moment." Shen Tinglu knew the inside story.

Luo Ning sighed, "When Fellow Daoist Nie was training, he discovered that there were zombies harming mortals. In order to save the people of a city, he fought hard to kill this monster and was seriously injured. He is currently recuperating."

Shen Suiren was taken aback. Such a thing had happened in his past life. He possessed the righteousness and magnanimity of a Taoist sword cultivator.

That's why she dared to entrust Ji Yu to Nie Chengzhang's care. Life is full of uncertainties, and she forgot to remind him, "How's she doing?"

"It's alright, the Star Lord of Red Heart found the elixir in time."

He also asked the Corpse King to help him remove the corpse poison, but he estimated that he would have to come to the secret mansion to cultivate again in a few years. Niao Niao pulled Shen Sui Ren aside and told her in detail about the changes in the cultivation world in recent years before seeing her off.

Upon arriving at the exit of the secret realm, Shen Dingru immediately took her pulse to check her physical condition. "Very good, your cultivation hasn't lagged behind."

This time, he personally set up the tribulation-crossing formation for the child, but unexpectedly, there was no sign of core formation at the beginning of the year. "Didn't they say there were twenty-four high-level cultivation spirit pools inside?"

Shen Suiren noticed his regret. "Father, I'm only thirty. There's no rush."

"There are so many jade slips containing array formations in the secret chamber; I have to learn them all eventually. I'm afraid that next time there will be too many people, and I won't be able to concentrate on my studies."

What could Shen Dingru say? The child has his own plans.

"Father, I'll tell Master and Grandmaster that we're going to visit Floating Light City together."

“Okay.” Shen Dingru readily agreed.

Meanwhile, the Little Fox King was greeted and thanked by Tu Shan Fox, White Wolf, and Golden Feather Eagle. "Thank you for intervening and allowing us to preserve our cultivation."

"I'm not just talking for nothing. I'll tell you all about the movements of the Great Wilderness Demon Clan who have moved to the Demon Court."

"Also, how is my cave dwelling in the Demon Court doing?" The little fox king is arrogant because he has spiritual power.

This celestial fox is alright; as soon as it escaped from the Thousand Waves Formation, the first thing it did was inquire about its safety.

Moreover, the Purple Lotus Dragon King's Transmission Incense also informed her that these three races had already submitted to her and requested that the Taiyuan Realm treat them well.

At the beginning of the year, he told her to cultivate her own team in the Demon Court so that she would have helpers when she became an elder in the future.

The three demons reported all the recent events, big and small, of the demon race before departing.

As Shen Suiren carried the little fox king to the camp, he saw Shen Baiyu looking at them.

Shen Dingru's flying sword immediately changed direction, not going this way. "Her parents passed away last year from illness. Although she did nothing wrong, I don't like you socializing with her." "Father, we are just nodding acquaintances."

Back then, he sold her the pills in an attempt to save Master Shouzhuo. "Those two actually died after only a few years of suffering? This was something Shen Suiren hadn't expected, but she no longer cared."

She paid her respects to her master, but when she returned to Floating Light City, everything had changed.

The area around Lingtian has been taken over by tenant farmers, and the formation of Shuikou Bay is no longer anything special.

Fortunately, she found Lingyun Tower, where Lao Bai was still inside. She returned the treasure bag and the things Hu Si had asked her to deliver.

"Grandpa Bai, thank you again." Shen Suiren bowed solemnly.

Old Bai accepted the gifts readily, but pushed back even more medicinal pills as a token of gratitude: "That's too much."

Shen Dingru bowed deeply and said, "Thank you for helping my son that day. These things are not heavy at all."

Old Bai quickly stepped aside, saying, "I don't have much time left, I don't need..."

"Your descendants can take this jade to the sect to find me and join the Spirit Beast Valley or other peaks," Shen Dingru interrupted him, leaving him another piece of jade.

Old Bai watched them leave, a smile spreading across his face. He had only helped them casually back then, but it had forged a good relationship for the younger generation.

……

Five years passed in the blink of an eye. The Taiyuan Realm saw off the immortal mountain in the Guixu Sea, leaving only the Vermilion Bird Cauldron to guard the floating island, waiting for the immortal mountain to return five hundred years later.

Although the Nascent Soul cultivators regretted not being able to go in to explore for the treasure, another irregularly shaped floating island appeared on the coastline on their return journey.

The group excitedly went there, and after a long time, they confirmed that it was "a re-evolved teleportation gate."

This time, it has surprisingly appeared as a floating island; we must protect it well.

When the news spread, the hearts of the spirits, humans, and demons who remained in this realm after five years of silence began to stir once more.

The cultivators of the Taiyuan Realm didn't care, because they all knew from Wu Xuanzi that it would take at least several thousand or tens of thousands of years for the realm gate to fully evolve before the Mahayana stage could be considered complete.

As the primordial energy of heaven and earth revives, those who wish to cultivate to the Nascent Soul or Void Refinement stages will shatter the void and travel to other realms, where they will be sent by the power of space.

It might be a lower-level cultivation world, rather than the surrounding six realms.

Choose carefully, as many high-level secret realms in the Taiyuan Realm are returning.

Taking advantage of this auspicious occasion, the alliance held a grand competition and celebration at the South Guixu seaside, which was also attended by high-ranking demons.

Shen Suiren missed the Foundation Establishment Competition that was not held, but happened to catch up with the Core Formation Competition.

That's right, she recently successfully formed her core and officially became a Core Formation Elder of the Immortal Travel Sect. She passed through the nine tribulations of lightning as if it were nothing, and only used seven natal magic swords to refine her body.

Yes, the twelve she originally envisioned were adjusted and modified by Wu Xuanzi, and she ultimately forged seven, which perfectly matched the predetermined number of the Seven Realms of Taiyuan.

When they met again at the Grand Competition, Niao Niao and the others had all become Core Formation Ancestors once more.

During the lottery, Qiu Lu took out a photo taken at the Lü Lü Pavilion years ago: "Jue Xing, why don't you make another vow and tell us when everyone will form their Nascent Souls?"

Juexing has been disciplined by his master for several years and is now very careful with his words. "The Buddha said, 'It cannot be spoken, it cannot be spoken.'"

Look, at the beginning of the year, Yun Chuan has been chosen to compete.

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Suiren and Yun Chuan jumped onto the arena. The two exchanged a glance, and with a clang of the gong, swords flew into the air and clashed.

This

Two dazzling flashes of sword light exploded, causing the arena to shake.

Clang clang clang, another strike came, fast and fierce, with neither of them sparing any spiritual energy.

But Yun Chuan's prized natal sword was trapped by Sui Chu's sudden transformation into a seven-sword formation after only three exchanges with her.

Yun Chuan was horrified. No matter how he tried to summon the sword, he couldn't. "You've broken the rules. Only your natal magic weapon is allowed in the competition. Hidden weapons are not permitted."

"The magical treasures I've mentioned are seven swords, which can be separated or combined."

"Yun Chuan, fighting with swords and blades is so boring." Before Shen Suiren finished speaking, he had already stepped forward, ignoring the protective aura, and punched Yun Chuan in the face.

Poor Yun Chuan was a fraction of a second too slow and got hit. Then, hearing Cheng Zhishun and Little Dragon King booing him from below the arena along with Ji Yu and the other little demons, he swung his hand back at Shen Suiren.

The latter was waiting for him, and with a swift movement of his arm, he punched him in the face again.

Sect Master Fu Jiang frowned below the stage. Could it be that his eldest disciple had seriously offended Sui Chu when protecting his youngest disciple?

He overheard the Cangyuan Sect Master say, "Tsk tsk, at the beginning of the year, he was punched in the face. It seems like he has some personal grudge against Yun Chuan."

He said seriously, "It's just a normal friendly spar."

Other sect leaders didn't think that way, especially the sect leader of Wendao, who was counting the number of sect leaders.

Meanwhile, Cen Che transmitted his voice to Zhu Kuang, "Junior Sister, do we really want to fight a hundred punches at the beginning of the year?"

On the other side, Shen Suiren did not avoid Yun Chuan's counterattack at all. While taking the punch, he added more earth elemental power to the back of his hand and struck Yun Chuan's face again.

"At the beginning of the year, one should not hit someone in the face. If you do this again, I will definitely retaliate." Even when Yun Chuan was angered by the beating, he did not forget to maintain the demeanor of a disciple of the sect leader.

"Let's talk after you can beat me!" Shen Suiren did as he pleased, even slapping the other person's face back.

The young cultivators below the stage roared with excitement, while the young Core Formation cultivators on stage delivered punches that landed squarely on the floor. Their protective auras were no longer something they needed to expend spiritual energy to maintain.

Both men were bruised and battered, but neither was willing to be beaten down by the other.

Until the Little Fox King transmitted his voice through his soul, "One hundred and two punches to Yun Chuan's face."

Shen Suiren suddenly stopped and kicked Yun Chuan away in mid-air.

The latter dodged the mid-air spin and landed in time, but unfortunately, Sui Chu turned his spiritual power in both hands and grabbed two magic swords in mid-air, which attacked at the same time.

Taking advantage of a gap in the sword formation, Yun Chuan summoned back his natal sword, but unexpectedly, the other five swords changed formation in an instant, still trapping his sword.

In his desperation, he summoned another sword, but it was instantly cleaved in two by Sui Chu. Both swords were now pressed against his face. "You've lost! Shouting 'Shen Sui Ren' three times is Shen Dingru's pride. I'll release your natal magic sword."

Otherwise…” With a hum, five blades appeared in mid-air, poised to slash at the surrounding swords.

"Absolutely not at the beginning of the year!" Sect Master Fujiang suddenly stood up, his natal sword wounded, and the sword master was also seriously injured.

This

"Yun Chuan violated the rules once, and will be disqualified after three violations." Seeing that things were not going well, the referee quickly announced the decision, but Yun Chuan did not admit defeat; he could not say who won or lost.

Yun Chuan didn't shout, and Shen Suiren didn't leave.

The Core Formation arena fell silent. Someone tried to speak, but was stopped by several elders of the alliance.

"Yun Chuan, admit defeat!" Sect Master Fu Jiang shouted.

Yun Chuan closed his eyes, then opened them again and whispered, "I admit defeat, but I can't shout it as you say in public, even if my natal sword is shattered."

But I can say this to your father, in front of my master.

At the beginning of the year, may you, me, and everyone be well.

Shen Suiren raised an eyebrow, as expected of the sect leader's personal disciple: "The rhetoric can be slightly changed, once."

Yun Chuan quickly shouted, "I lost. Sui Chu is indeed worthy of being Shen Dingru's daughter. She has the brave and martial spirit of her father and is a source of pride for the Shen family."

Shen Suiren quickly sheathed his sword and put it back.

Upon hearing this, Shen Dingru spat out a mouthful of spiritual tea.

This

"Sui Chu won. Next match: Juexing from Dafosi Temple versus Du Ye from Cangyuan Sect," the referee quickly announced.

Below the arena, whispers immediately arose about whether it would be even more satisfying to win and have the loser fawn over you.

Shen Suiren glanced at Yun Chuan, who was flying off the stage, his ears burning red, and couldn't help but smile. This would surely be a part of the history of cultivation.

Because the cultivators who were going to fight next followed suit, they insisted that the losing side give them a compliment before they would let go.

Shen Suiren set a precedent...
