Prologue: Flying Immortals in the Sky + Chapter 1: The inn's firewood room is as warm as spring(1/3)
Cangxi Prefecture has a high terrain and continuous mountains. However, if someone asks where the highest mountain is, they will all point to one place.
A high mountain stands like a sword, standing on the plateau through the clouds. There is a sect in the mountain called Lingjian Sect. It is the leading sect in the world of immortality and monopolizes the resources of a state. This is why the mountain is named Lingjian Mountain.
On the top of Lingjian Mountain, in an exquisite bamboo chamber, an old man wearing a sword-shaped hairpin looked at the clear starry sky. He held a long silver sword in his hand. The sword body reflected the starlight, and its delicate and complex texture was like water waves.
It flows slowly upward from the hilt of the sword, but stops abruptly halfway.
The old man frowned, thinking something ominous in his heart.
"The sword light is interrupted. This is a sign of premature death. Brother head, are you telling your fortune?" As a voice sounded from behind, a barefooted woman in white robes was carrying an earthy yellow wine gourd in one hand and a red wine gourd in the other.
Holding a green bamboo sword upside down, he appeared behind the old stargazing man with a smell of tobacco and alcohol.
The stargazing old man's deduction was interrupted, and he had to adjust his breath and call it a day, exhaling a puff of foul air from his mouth.
"Fifth Junior Sister, remember to knock on the door next time."
"I knocked on the door when I was leaving."
"I mean my door, not your door."
The leader sighed again: "Why are you looking for me?"
"Borrow money."
"...If I remember correctly, you still owe me 20,000 spiritual stones and have not paid it back." The leader said, his eyes serious and serious.
The woman was bitter and said: "Oh, it's not that our Spirit Sword Sect is so poor. I think I, the fifth elder and the second master of the sect, only pay five hundred spirit stones every month. How many years and months will it take to pay it off?"
I owe a debt. Why don't you give up your position to me, senior brother, and I can embezzle public funds to repay the money..."
"Junior sister, if you really want to be the leader, then..."
"Then you will give up your seat to me? Senior brother, you are really kind and righteous!"
"What I want to say is that if you want to be the leader, you should first give up drinking, sex, and wealth, and practice in seclusion for three to five years. It won't be too late to talk about it after you have achieved the Nascent Soul stage."
The woman in white immediately pretended that nothing happened: "Brother, lend me money."
"..."
"...Speaking of who you were divining just now, it looks like he will live a short life and die young."
The head brother said in a deep voice: "Spirit Sword Sect."
The face of the fifth junior sister changed, and she put aside her drunken argument: "No way!? The Spirit Sword Sect is going to be exterminated?!"
"It's not just the Spiritual Sword Sect. I'm afraid that this sword light refers to the entire world of immortality. Do you still remember the legendary end of the Dharma era... Alas, this sword light is broken from a third of the place. I'm afraid that the peaceful days of the world of immortality will only be three."
Five years. Do you really want to spend one billion spiritual stones to sponsor the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance to build those five ancient divine ships?"
"The Star Evolution Technique of the Spirit Sword Sect is one of the few deductive methods in the world of immortality. Senior brother is the best among them and can never make mistakes. However, the immortal sword that senior brother just postponed does not seem to be the Nianjian."
The head brother was stunned: "Isn't it the Nian sword?" He quickly lowered his head and took a closer look. As expected, the hilt of the sword was not filled with the character Nian, but...
The next moment, the old man, who was so powerful in the state with his cultivation in the Transformation Stage, let out a horrified cry: "How could it be the Tea Sword!? Doesn't this mean that there are only three or five cups of tea left before the end of the law!?"
The fifth junior sister was also frightened. The wine gourd fell to the ground with a bang, and the golden wine gurgled out, but she didn't care.
"Brother, headmaster, how many times have I told you that you should just wear glasses if you are short-sighted. You can't even tell the difference between years and tea. What are you going to do...forget it, now there are only a few cups of tea and the Age of Ending Dharma will begin, senior brother.
Please pass the throne to me quickly so that I can die a worthy death."
"...even if I die, I will not bring shame to the Spirit Sword Sect."
"I don't want to die with a monthly salary of five hundred spiritual stones! I will die with my eyes open!"
During the quarrel, time flew by and the last three cups of tea slipped away quietly.
On the top of Lingjian Mountain, the place closest to the starry sky, the bright starry sky is particularly dazzling. The stars in the sky are slowly and steadily rotating, and every star is shaking hastily, just like the pollen particles in the water observed under the microscopic mirror.
That was a vision that had never happened in the Kyushu Continent for thousands of years.
The senior brothers and sisters looked at each other with the same shock in their hearts.
The Star Evolution Technique is indeed true. The Age of Ending Dharma has casually arrived in Kyushu, ready to ruthlessly wipe out everything in the world of immortality.
At the last moment, the head brother spoke in a deep voice with a strange color.
"Junior sister, there is something I wanted to say a hundred years ago but never had the chance. Now that the end of the world is imminent..."
As the leader's old but magnetic voice sent words full of true feelings into the other party's ears, the starry sky shook more and more intensely.
"I think it's time to tell you my true feelings."
At the last moment, the stars changed, the stars bloomed like flowers, and the night sky was as bright as day. A broom-like meteor pierced the sky.
It was Halley's Comet, the legendary pioneer of the doomsday. The comet fell to the ground, the vitality of the heaven and earth was exhausted, and the end of the Dharma era came... Lingjian Mountain was spread out on the top of the mountain, and the formation that resisted the Nine Heavens Gang Wind suddenly trembled, as if the collapse of the sky was imminent.
The bright eyes of the woman in white were flowing, and the reflection of a golden elixir was reflected in her eyes. She was dragging the bamboo sword backwards, lazily and diagonally upward, but it brought up a curtain of light that covered the sky, as if it was trying to hold up the collapsed sky.
stand up.
However, the sky did not change after all. The meteor passed by the Kyushu continent, and after the stars moved, everything returned to silence.
The fifth junior sister swayed her bamboo sword left and right in confusion, feeling the changes in the vitality of the world like tentacles.
"It seems...is everything okay?"
The woman immediately turned back to the master's senior brother for confirmation. The senior brother's cultivation level was two realms higher than hers - although the woman was not afraid of a real fight - he had authority over the changes in the world.
The head brother looked lonely: "At least it's not the end of the Dharma era."
"Oh, Dayan Technique can also make mistakes? But it's okay. Senior brother, why do you look so disappointed?"
"nothing."
"It's rare to avoid the doomsday, so why not celebrate with debt relief?"
"..."
After the doomsday crisis passed, the leader thought of the surging passion just now, and he only let out a long sigh in his heart. In addition, there were more doubts.
The Dayan Technique is not absolute, but the premonition of the doomsday is not wrong. Just now, the continent of Kyushu really missed the end of the world.
The leader was at a loss for this crisis that came and went even more suddenly.
But it is certain but certain that the influence it brings is penetrating into the Kyushu continent little by little.
The old man looked up at the vast galaxy, sighed, and once again played with the star sword in his hand. After pondering for a long time, he said: "Surviving a catastrophe will lead to blessings in the future. After this crisis, it is likely to usher in the golden age of the world of immortality... Yes
Well, when was the last time we held an Immortal Ascension Conference?"
The fifth junior sister opened her eyes wide: "Sheng, fresh food meeting?" She could not help but drool as she spoke.
The old man ignored her and counted: "At least it has been more than a hundred years. The next time will be twelve years later. The changes in the world will also appear by then. Don't expect too much. If we can do it again,
By reviving the prosperous times of a hundred years ago, there is hope for the Spirit Sword Sect to be revived."
At the mention of the revival of the sect, the smile on the fifth junior sister's face faded and she yawned, to which the old man just gave a wry smile.
"We missed the heyday of a hundred years ago, and there are only ten people of our generation left in the golden generation. This time no matter what..."
So the fifth junior sister couldn't even yawn, snorted coldly, turned around and left.
At the same time, at the foot of Lingjian Mountain, in an unknown corner of Cangxi Prefecture, a baby was born with a loud cry.
————
Time flies by, and the news of Halley's Comet passing by the Kyushu Continent has become an anecdote. Few people know that the world they live in was once extremely close to destruction.
The people of Cangxi Prefecture are only concerned about one thing. The Spirit Sword Sect's Immortal Ascension Conference, which has been suspended for nearly a hundred years, will be held at the beginning of next month. I don't know who will be able to stand out.
The so-called Immortal Ascension Conference is actually a grand ceremony for the sect of cultivating immortals to recruit new members. Join the sect and start the path of cultivation, which leads directly to the path of the immortal family. From then on, the path of immortality is different, and this is the ascension to immortality. However, it is no longer the ancient mythological era, and the world of cultivating immortals has only
The grand ceremony of the five top sects is qualified to be called the Ascension Conference.
The largest sect in the world of cultivating immortals, the Shengjing Immortal Sect, which occupies a single state in Zhongzhou; the Kunlun Immortal Mountain, known as the origin of cultivating immortals; the Gate of Ten Thousand Methods, which has the largest collection of immortal books and is known as the Museum of Immortal Cultivation; and the most powerful army in Kyushu.
Junhuang Mountain; also, if you want people but no one, you want money but no money, you want knowledge but no background, you want inheritance but no inheritance, God knows why it was included in the Spirit Sword Sect among the five major sects of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance!
The Spirit Sword Sect has a small population and is low-key. When it comes to sect power, not to mention compared with the four top sects, it seems to be inferior to the ordinary first-class. However, the five major sects’ shining golden signs are hard to look directly at, and the cultivation
The Immortal World has not held an Immortal Ascension Conference for a long, long time.
The news that the Spirit Sword Sect was holding an Immortal Promotion Conference spread across Kyushu three years ago. The age of twelve or younger, regardless of other conditions, was simply unseemly and unseemly compared to other sects that pay close attention to their family background and ancestors of the eighteenth generation. So aspiring young people in the world heard the news and acted.
The villagers of remote mountain villages, the sons of wealthy families and even the princes of a country...the temptation of the immortal way is so strong that everything in the mortal world is boring compared to it.
At this time, there are still more than a week before the conference, and Lingxi Town at the foot of Lingjian Mountain is already overcrowded. As a transfer station between Lingjian Mountain Gate and the mortal world, Lingxi Town has a permanent population of only a few hundred, but now the floating population has a tendency to exceed 10,000 people.
Not to mention the handful of inns, tents were set up next to the public toilets as a temporary stopgap.
With so many people and so little land, encounters are inevitable, especially the Home Inn, the only one of its kind in the town, which is a battleground for military strategists.
boom!
In front of the inn door, three figures flew out and rolled into balls on the ground. Two of them were tall and had nosebleeds on their faces, shouting and cursing.
"Little girl, my master is the national master of the Canglan Kingdom. How dare you be so rude to us!?"
The young man who was helped up by the two men, with short curly brown hair and who was obviously the young master, had a nosebleed and looked at the sneering landlady at the inn door with an incredibly dull look.
He Wen Bao has grown so old that even his father has never hit him. Unexpectedly, he was slapped so hard by the innkeeper's wife!
