Chapter 527
"...The Immortality Sect and Yanshen Dao, which grew from their corpses, have faintly surpassed the nine immortal sects of the past----"
"It is said that the leader of Yanshen Dao has a much higher status because of this, and is even enough to be on an equal footing with the founder of the Immortal Sect ten thousand years ago, and is called the 'Lord of Yanshen Dao'."
Qiao Mu noticed the storyteller's words.
It is beyond the Nine Immortal Sects, not the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect, or the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
I heard what the scholar meant and what he saw and heard in Yanshen Taoist Temple.
Today, the Yanshen Dao Immortal Sect has two Shenhua Dao Lords, and even a "Dao Lord" who should be a Hedao monk.
If we calculate it this way, then the master of Yanshen Dao is the only monk in the world of Kyushu who has practiced to the stage of He Dao for more than ten thousand years.
From this point of view, it is not wrong to say that Yan Shinto has surpassed the nine great immortal sects of the past - among the nine great immortal sects fifty years ago, there was no Hedao-era founder who could travel across Kyushu.
"Fifty years ago, the territory of Yanshen Dao was in the lower reaches of the Tongtian River, in Southeast Prefecture." Tongtian Shuiling frowned and said:
"Now they have extended their tentacles to the foot of Tongtian Mountain in Northwest Prefecture, where the Tongtian River originates."
"It seems that it is not difficult to figure out the reason why Master Yan Shen Dao can practice to the He Dao stage."
In the past, the total number of Xianghuo believers in Kyushu was enough to give birth to a total of nine Shenhua Dao Lords, and the number of Yuanying Zhenren was less than a hundred.
There is a difference between quality and quantity among incense believers, and there are also differences around fifty years ago.
Quantity is the total population of believers.
The quality depends on the methods of the Immortal Sect, whether it introduces new things through the old and brings out new things, and cultivates more devout believers.
As for today's Yanshen Dao, I'm afraid that the Xianghuo Taoist Temple occupies far more than just one state. There are now two Shenhua Dao Lords and one Hedao Dao Lord.
"It's not just the difference between the quality and quantity of incense believers. Have you forgotten the broken peak of Kunlun Mountain? That is part of the fairy world." Qiao Mu shook his head.
The spiritual energy in the fairy world is far richer than that in the human world, let alone the nine states in the human world after the spiritual energy declines.
There was still spiritual energy left in the Heavenly Court that had fallen into the ruins, which was enough for the Immortal Sect Patriarchs to practice step by step to reach the threshold of true immortality.
And now part of Kunlun Mountain has fallen into Kyushu. Even if it doesn't last long, it will change the aura environment of the world in Kyushu.
"Revival of spiritual energy? No, it should be regarded as a reflection of the light before the collapse." Qiao Mu shook his head.
For example, in the demon world he and Tongtian Shui Ling visited, fragments of the fairy world also fell into it, and among the thousands of worlds he traveled to in the past fifteen years, there were many big worlds in such a situation.
This so-called revival of spiritual energy is actually not a good thing. Its essence is an imbalance in the world order and a precursor to a great collapse.
"But a monk in the Hedao stage who can walk in the world by relying on the Immortal Way of Incense was actually born? How did the mortals of Jiuzhou survive from the Immortal Sect in the past fifty years?" Tongtian Shuiling was surprised.
"That's a good question." The storyteller's ears twitched slightly, and he obviously heard Tongtian Shuiling's exclamation. He sighed:
"It has been nearly a hundred years since the Immortal Sect came to the world and overwhelmed the mortal world."
"How can we survive the first forty years and the next fifty years? Naturally, we have to survive and work hard to survive."
"Life is like a grasshopper, so there is a way to live like a grasshopper, that's all. But in this world, there are people who are not willing to just be a grasshopper."
The storyteller smiled lightly and said:
"Growing like a forest tree, it should be happy and prosperous; growing like a mustard, it should be luxuriant and green."
"Between the first forty years and the last fifty years, there were still three short-lived years, a three-year myth like a dream..."
"Okay, I have to mention that old three years again."
In the lobby, a young Jianghu knight pouted:
"Tingchaolou's storyteller is so virtuous that he always likes to mention some old events. Isn't it interesting that he always brings up things like old sesame seeds and rotten millet?"
Many Jianghu people nodded.
Only a few old people who were over seventy years old shook their heads when they saw this situation:
"Too young."
"When the son of the Qiao family was still alive, all the nine immortal sects would stay away from the world."
"Today's Master of Yanshen Dao claims to be on an equal footing with the founder of the Immortal Sect ten thousand years ago, but Qiao Yao, the leader of the martial arts more than fifty years ago, personally killed the founder of the Immortal Sect."
"So powerful?" A young ranger was surprised.
"Well, this was something that happened more than fifty years ago. If it were in the past, no one would doubt the authenticity of this matter." Some old Jianghu said with a smile:
"Back when the Qiao family was at its peak, you said that three or five of the Qiao family would pop up from the cracks in the rocks every day, and each one of them could sweep across the Nine Provinces. Everyone would believe this!"
"You're bragging, how could there be such a family in this world?" Some people didn't believe it.
"Forget it, forget it, don't argue with these guys who rely on their old age and sell off their old age." A young charlatan advised:
"People of the older generation are always nostalgic, saying that the present is not as good as the past, and they always continue to beautify and exaggerate the past...especially the storytellers from Tingchao Lou."
"It is said that the Qiao family, which was a flash in the pan fifty years ago, is certainly very strong, but the martial arts in Kyushu have been developing under the pressure of the Immortal Sect. It is the right thing to do in the past."
"Today's world of martial arts still has towering pillars."
"Today's one sage, one ancestor, and five peerless beings are all top martial arts figures in the world, so why should we nostalgic for the past?"
"Listen, you're already an ancient person." The fat cat lay on the table eating peanuts, its big fluffy tail brushing across Qiao Mu's face, tickling him slightly.
Qiao Mu originally listened silently and did not intervene in the discussion.
If it were when he was young, he would go to a tavern or teahouse and hear a scholar brag about his prowess, which would have been one of his hobbies back then.
But now it’s free.
Rather than these false names, he cares more about the current situation of the Kyushu martial arts world and the top figures in contemporary martial arts that everyone is talking about.
So he spoke:
"It's really boring to talk about old things all the time."
"The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. Each has led the way for hundreds of years. Let's talk about some of the most outstanding figures in martial arts today."
His voice was calm and not aggressive, but there was an invisible momentum that hit his face like a sea wave.
The people who were still arguing fiercely just now stopped unconsciously, and the discussion gradually subsided.
Qiao Mu shook his hand, and a few pieces of silver that he had torn into pieces flew out of his hand, and a few bits of silver light flew into the meteor.
Most of the people gathered in this tea house were martial arts warriors from local and other places. When they saw the silver light flying, they were about to exclaim that someone was using a hidden weapon, but the next moment, the silver light changed from rapid to extremely quiet and steady. It fell on the lectern in front of the storyteller.
"This..." This incomprehensible skill caused the teahouse to fall silent.
Speak out first, take action later, but still lose the money to reward the storyteller.
Seeing the scenes before and after, the warriors naturally no longer had any objections. They watched the storyteller carefully put the broken silver on the table into his arms and said with a smile:

"Since the distinguished guests would rather hear contemporary anecdotes, that's naturally not a problem."
"One Saint, One Ancestor, and Five Peerless Worlds are all top martial arts figures. I wonder whose deeds your distinguished guests would like to hear?"
"Whoever is the leader of contemporary martial arts will be mentioned first." Qiao Mu said calmly.
But as soon as these words came out, all the people in the lobby smiled slightly.
In front of this unknown master, he didn't dare to laugh at him, he could only hold it back.
"Your distinguished guest doesn't know something." The storyteller smiled and said:
"As the saying goes, a single beautiful flower is not spring; a hundred flowers blooming together fills the garden."
"If you want to talk about the old generation of Kyushu martial arts, there was indeed a martial arts leader who overwhelmed the most invincible opponents in the world."
"For example, the Sword Exiled Immortal and the Martial Saint became famous nearly a hundred years ago, as well as the Qiao family who later appeared briefly."
"Tigers and leopards are hidden deep in the mountains, and heroes emerge in troubled times. These fifty years of frosty winter have naturally been an era of glory for all heroes."
"The biggest enemies of warriors are not each other, but the Immortal Sect. Therefore, it is not clear which of the seven are stronger and which one is weaker."
"But among them, Yisheng and Yizu are indeed the most famous."
"The first ancestor was Yan Taizu, the founding emperor of the Great Yan Dynasty three or four hundred years ago. He was the leader of martial arts three hundred years ago, but it was a different story in the current world."
"As for that saint, we have to start with Kuafu Mountain in Xizhou..."
The storyteller eloquently said:
"Xizhou is also extraordinary among the nine states. It is said that in ancient times it was a battlefield between gods and demons, and there is also a magical Kuafu Mountain, which even the immortals covet."
"That year, Yan Taizu of the Imperial Capital of Zhongzhou was seriously injured. The two great masters of Yanshen Dao and Changsheng Sect had the potential to sweep across Kyushu. Taoist temples sprung up across Kyushu like bamboo shoots after rain, and thousands of horses in Kyushu were silent..."
With the storyteller's deep voice, this past event also unfolded in front of Qiao Mu.
The Taoist Transformation Master is too powerful an enemy for the Kyushu martial arts world. Even if he possesses shocking magical skills, he still needs time to practice them.
Human warriors need time, so why does the Immortal Sect not need time to recover from the blows of the Qiao family and restore their cultivation?
Whoever moves faster or slower will permanently change the landscape of Kyushu and the future of all living beings.
The two major immortal sects at that time quickly set their sights on Kuafu Mountain.
Kuafu Mountain is very extraordinary. It is a small world that collapsed in the world many years ago, containing a secret realm.
This secret realm originally belonged to the Blood Lotus Sect, but later it was guarded by martial artists from the Qiao family, so the Immortal Sect did not dare to get involved.
Qiao Mu once obtained a treasure like the Nine-leaf Immortal Lotus from the secret realm of Kuafu Mountain, which allowed the Taoist Master Huashen to repeatedly refine multiple clones, almost giving him a few more lives.
If there are secret treasures left by the Blood Lotus Sect in the secret realm, it will be of great use to the Yanshen Dao and the Immortality Sect after their decline.
"That year, Taoist temples stood tall on the land of Xizhou, and the escaping light of the immortal monks cut through the sky like thousands of morning glows."
"It's not just the Immortal Sect and the Martial Arts who are competing for time, the two major Immortal Sects are also fighting for a time difference, and that time, it was the Eternal Life Sect that took the lead."
"Until that day, bright red blood and pale pink granules flooded Kuafu Mountain like a swamp, and a tall flesh-and-blood giant awakened from Kuafu Mountain."
"He said: In this big world, the Qiao family is not the only one with lofty ideals and ability."
"If the fire is gone from now on, why can't I be a salary?"
"On that day, the flesh-and-blood giant lifted his peak into a sword, and the rainbow light transformed by the monks of the Xianxian Sect fell into the world like raindrops... This shocking battle ended with the defeat of the Eternal Life Sect."
"The Taoist Master of Changsheng almost died, and the Changsheng Sect retreated from Xizhou and languished, and was at a disadvantage in the battle between the immortal sects. Afterwards, the monks in the sect bowed their heads and learned martial arts from mortals. The techniques and martial arts went hand in hand, and the winner As a teacher.”
"This is the battle that made the 'Saint of Martial Arts' Wu Qizheng famous." The storyteller sighed:
"Great Yan Taizu, Millennium Family Master, Immortal Demon King, Blood Lotus Double Sword Immortal, Wu Ji Empress, Human Flying Immortal..."
"The remaining six who are at the top of the martial arts today are all heroes who have been on the battlefield for decades, so they are highly regarded."
Compared with the three years when the Qiao family was rampant.
In the next fifty years, the conflict between immortals and mortals has already been intensified to the most intense stage. The immortal cultivators were almost wiped out by the martial arts of the Qiao family, so naturally they were full of fear of human warriors.
The warriors in the human world have gone through turmoil and met the Qiao family who use martial arts to defeat immortals. Although it is difficult, they still have hope.
The battle between immortals and mortals has already reached its most intense stage.
"The Millennium Patriarch, is it Blood River? Is he still alive?" Qiao Mu's heart moved.
Xue Changhe comes from the Xue family. He has been the guinea pig of the Immortality Sect for more than a thousand years, and his lifespan is only fifty years old.
Xue Changhe was only twenty years old at the time, and he was already the most outstanding person the Xue family had ever seen in more than a thousand years.
If we calculate again today, Xue Changhe should be seventy years old. He doesn't know how he can withstand the bloodline curse of the Immortality Sect and break the lifespan limit.
While the storyteller was enumerating the deeds of the most powerful martial artist one by one, Qiao Mu's heart moved slightly and he noticed a person coming outside the door.
It's the Earthly Immortal.
As a weapon spirit, it cannot leave Tianzhou too far.
Since she is here, it means that they have explored the short peak of Kunlun Mountain along the way, turned back from it, and presumably discovered something.
"There isn't much time left." Earth Yuan Immortal said:
"Around the broken peaks of Kunlun Mountain, the rich spiritual energy spontaneously formed a secret space, and many monsters have even been born."
"I suspect that this may not be the only fragment of the fairy world that fell into the world of Kyushu."
"The Emperor of Heaven chose this world to allow his daughter to reincarnate and rebuild. I think it has a profound meaning."
Qiao Mu nodded, he actually had some guesses in his mind, and asked again:
"Is there anything strange on the mountain?"
"Yes." Immortal Diyuan said:
"It has been looted by others. The person who came before me is not bad at cultivation. Maybe he is a true immortal who came to the world together with the broken peak of Kunlun Mountain, the fragment of the immortal world."
Immortal Earth Yuan has an indifferent nature, but he still values his life very much.
After returning to Kyushu, she did not explore the thoughts of the sect "Di Yuan Guan" left behind back then, and her only focus was on surviving the collapse.
"The emperor's daughter is in this world. She is probably the emperor's back-up man. Only by finding her can we have a chance of survival." Earth Yuan Immortal urged.
"Then, let's continue south along the river."
Qiao Mu stood up and no longer heard the scholar telling stories.
From the Tongtian River continuing southward, big cities such as Kuafu Mountain in Xizhou and Heyang Fucheng in Nanzhou are all along its banks.
"I don't know if Wu Qizheng and Qiao Yuan are still at Kuafu Mountain in Xizhou..."
