Chapter 372 [Why did the ancestor surrender first? 】
“How can there be saints in this era?”
Everyone was shocked. The person in front of them was incredibly powerful. The ancient leader's subordinates were like ants, while he was comparable to the legendary gods and like the immortals and Buddhas in mythology.
Countless people were trembling with fear, while the younger generation of disciples looked at them with admiration and respect. They had wanted to defeat the Western Taoist school for a long time, but were unable to do so due to their lack of strength.
The Kunlun Sect Master, the Immortal Sword Sect Master, the Zhuhuang clan leader, the Longhu Mountain Heavenly Master and other masters paid homage to the saint, and then respectfully invited the saint to sit on the platform and preach.
Lin Xian did not make excuses and sat on the lotus platform, asking those around him, "What is the relationship between the fallen angels and the Western tradition? Shouldn't the Church believe in the gods of the light clan?"
The Western Taoist tradition is not a small sect but a great religion. In terms of the use of the way of faith, they are comparable to Buddhism.
Their Messiah is the ancient sage, and the God who can make the ancient sages bow their heads and believe in him as God, even if he is not the corpse of the Emperor of Light, is also a son of the Emperor of Light.
But those fallen angels were incompatible with the light clan who were golden in body and had four sides on their heads.
"Reporting to the Saint..."
Several masters gave answers, saying that the so-called heaven and hell all originated from the same Taoist tradition. The opposition between light and darkness is meant to make people respect and fear. Only when there is hope and despair can people have enough faith.
Fallen angels are merely servants of God, not gods, and there are only a few true gods in the entire West.
"So that's how it is. A few false gods dared to invade the East. The saints of the past left for the starry sky, allowing them to take advantage of the opportunity and rob a lot of ancestral artifacts."
"It's time to settle the cause and effect and launch a westward expedition!"
Lin Xian's calm words caused a huge storm. Since the pre-Qin period, the earth's spiritual energy has been thin, and the strength of the cultivation world has been declining again and again. Even the powerful leaders have become ancient legends.
In contrast, the Western Taoism, because it has mastered the energy of the power of faith, has produced many masters and strong men, and is in a superior position in the Dharma-Ending Age.
The older generation was terrified, but the younger generation's geniuses were full of enthusiasm. Like a newborn calf, they were not afraid of a tiger. When they heard what Lin Xian said, their eyes lit up with a fiery light.
"We are willing to follow the saint to the west!!!"
"Yes, when they launched the holy war, we could also go west to convert the barbarians and wipe out the demons in the world!"
"If the enemy can go, I can go too. The situation of attack and defense has become easier!"
There is no shortage of top masters among the younger generation, such as Huang Tiannv from the Zhuhuang lineage, Zhan Yifan from Shushan, Long Xiaoque from the Longque clan, Kunlun Pisces, and Young Heavenly Master Zhang Qingyang. All of them can be called geniuses and have already entered the secret realm of dragon transformation, comparable to the older generation of cultivators.
They took the lead in declaring war, and naturally attracted the support of countless monks.
The older generation was relatively calm. The old headmaster of Longhu Mountain was a little uneasy. He bowed and asked, "Is the saint descending only for the Western Daoism?"
Although the Western Taoist tradition is powerful, it is still too exaggerated to mobilize the ancient saints. A king can sweep everything.
"Of course it doesn't stop."
Lin Xian looked at the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain and smiled calmly, saying, "I came to the ancient star of Honghuang for only three things: sweeping across the West, integrating the Middle Earth, and establishing the Heavenly Court."
"To fight against foreign aggression, we must first stabilize the country. Can you all join the Heavenly Court?"
For a moment, all the leaders hesitated. Although the saints were powerful, they were all well-known and large sects, and their founders were either saints or quasi-emperors.
"We are too old to be useful. If we join the Heavenly Court, we will tarnish the reputation of the saints." The head of Kunlun pleaded, "Why not let us, the younger generation, join the Heavenly Court and be guided by the saints? In the future, we will surely have the good fortune to revive the reputation of our Middle-earth."
"No."
Lin Xian said calmly: "The Heavenly Court governs all the heavens and the myriad worlds. The status of the ancient star is extremely important and must be unified."
In an instant, the expressions of all the major sect leaders and clan leaders were different: some were angry, some were terrified, some were secretly happy, and some sneered.
"Senior Saint of Heaven, although you are powerful, there are still people on this ancient planet who can rival you."
The current chief of the Great Xia Dragon Bird tribe stood up and said solemnly: "My Dragon Bird tribe is the descendant of the ancient demon god, and we will never surrender easily!"
Everyone was shocked. It was unbelievable that the Dragon Bird Clan dared to oppose an existence that was most likely an ancient sage. Even if there were powerful people in their clan, they would be crushed.
Where did the Dragon Bird Clan get the courage? In an instant, many people recalled a legend. It seemed that an ancestor of the Dragon Bird Clan had returned. Could it be...
Just as everyone was thinking about it, the patriarch of the Zhuhuang clan also jumped out and said in a deep voice: "I hope the saint will think twice before acting."
Just as the descendants of the demon god were opposing, alternative voices emerged.
"I, Louguan Dao, am willing to be the first to worship under the Heavenly Palace!" The master of Louguan Dao was the first to kowtow, and said with great piety: "Disciple accepts the command of the Saint and the ancestor."
Saint? Ancestor!
Many sect leaders came to their senses and glared at you. It turned out that this saint had a connection with your Louguan Dao, no wonder he was the first to become your lackey.
"Is the saint really doing this?" The chief of the Great Xia Dragon Bird clan suddenly shouted and crushed a divine talisman in his hand: "My Dragon Bird clan will not be slaughtered by anyone!"
Seeing the chief of the Great Xia Dragon Bird taking action, the chief of the Tianlin clan felt that he was sure to win. When the Great Sage fights against the Saint, the advantage is on my side!
In order to leave a good impression in front of the Great Sage Longque of Daxia, Chief Tianlin was even more diligent than Chief Longque. He acted as a pioneer and directly attacked with his magical powers.
Lin Xian is a saint, even if he is a half-saint, he is invulnerable to all kinds of attacks and has his own invincible domain. The immortal light of his magical powers turned into ashes as soon as it flew in front of his eyes.
As for the leader of the Tianlin tribe, Lin Xian didn't even have to do anything, he was directly frozen into an ice sculpture by the Taiyin Fairy Jiang Tingting.
"Although you have practiced, it is difficult for you to become a saint. You do not know the destiny. In the past, the saints of the three religions of human, demon, and Tao signed their names in Hangu Pass and jointly forged the great teaching of heaven."
Lin Xian smiled and said, "It is a destiny that the Heavenly Court rules the world and unifies the ancient stars. This expedition to the West is even more of a blessing. The heroes and brave men can be enthroned as divine generals in the Heavenly Court."
"You guys are pushing and shoving each other like this, but you don't know that you have lost a great opportunity."
"Daxia Longque Daoist Brother, you say yes and no."
Everyone was suddenly shocked and looked back. There was actually a surging holy power between heaven and earth. A figure that looked like a devil stood behind the current Dragon Bird Clan Leader.
His aura was so powerful that it seemed as if it could shatter an area of the star field, but he did not take any action and just watched the Tianlin clan leader die.
"Ancestor, you..." The Dragon Bird Clan leader's voice trembled, and he was very puzzled: "Why don't you take action?"
Daxia Longque looked at his descendants with complicated eyes, shook his head, and sighed: "In fact, I have been a person in the heaven for a long time."
The current Dragon Bird tribe leader was instantly petrified, his eyes filled with disbelief.
You have already been in heaven. Why didn’t you tell us that there are people who would harm their descendants in this way?
Immediately afterwards, not only did the projection of the Great Xia Dragon Bird appear, but other demon gods also appeared one after another, and passed down a decree: "Follow the will of heaven and establish a great religion. Even the saints must not violate it..."
The demon clan leaders looked at each other with extremely complicated feelings. If it wasn't for the ancestor, they really wanted to curse at this moment.
Really, my children and grandchildren were about to fight to the death, why did the ancestor surrender first? !
"The Heavenly Court established a religion to rule over the wild world, set up the Luotian Grand Ceremony, and selected the leaders of the world's cultivators. Now that the descendants of the demon god have surrendered, only the Taoist sect is left."
Lin Xian looked at the Dragon Tiger Heavenly Master and the Quanzhen Taoist Master, smiled and said, "I have only been practicing Taoism for fifty years, so I am considered a cultivator of the younger generation and can participate in the Luotian Grand Ceremony."
"You two each control half of the Dao Sect, who will fight me?"
I beat Saint Lin?
Will it win?
Guaranteed to die!
The head of Longhu Mountain was frightened and his legs trembled. The Quanzhen Taoist master was sweating profusely and quickly admitted defeat, admitting that Lin Xian was the first in Luotian Dajiao. The Taoist conferences of all generations were all participated by young cultivators from the Dao Palace and the Four Extremes. It was considered a grand event to have a dragon transformation.
Now that the saints are participating in the competition, aren't they here to play in the Baby Cup? With your status, you should be sitting on the stage as a referee.
The other cultivators were shocked at Lin Xian’s youth. That kind of vibrant aura was not actually the rhythm of Taoism, but the real years!
Zhang Qingyang, the young celestial master of Mount Longhu, was dreaming and muttered, "Has there ever been a half-saint or even a saint before the age of fifty in the history of cultivation?"
Compared with such people, these geniuses from the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm are nothing but idiots and fools.
The last bit of pride of the young generation of geniuses was crushed, and they could only look up.
Amidst the noise, Lin Xian defeated the old Taoist priest, climbed to the top, and completed the mission.
The long-lost system reward sounded:
[Main quest: Side quest: Win the first place in Luotian Dajiao (perfect) completed]
[Progress: Completed]
[Evaluation: A shameless person who hits the baby cup]
[Perfect Reward: Lingbao Sutra for Saving People (Wuque Emperor Sutra)]
"Among all the sutras of Lingbao Tianzun, the Sutra of Saving People is the most mysterious and unfathomable."
Lin Xian was immediately moved. The versions of the Sutra of Saving People he had obtained in the past were all incomplete. He never expected that he could find a complete version on Earth.
With this scripture, we can not only save the world, but also lay the foundation for faith and missionary work.
It can also further restrain the underworld. One hundred thousand heavenly soldiers will kill Yama Luo, which is no longer an empty talk!
If the Sutra of Saving People was a surprise, then the following reward made Lin Xian stunned.
……
[Main quest: Defeat the old Taoist priest on Mount Longhu (perfect) completed]
[Progress: Completed]
[Evaluation: Golden Legend]
[Perfect Reward: "Seven Returns and Nine Turns Golden Elixir Sutra" (Taishang Edition)]
"Tai Shang, which Tai Shang?!"
Lin Xian's eyes sparkled with brilliance, and his mind flickered, as if he was flipping through the universe and was deeply touched by this immortal scripture, as if he was listening to the sound of heaven. He was intoxicated and fell into the deepest realm of enlightenment.
[The power of one turn is like a precious pearl, the mountains, rivers, and universe are full of spiritual bodies, the elixir cave is hidden under the red lotus leaves, and the red water flows through the Nine Hou Pearls...]
This immortal scripture does not involve any specific methods of cultivation, but rather looks down on the mysteries of the human body from an extremely high perspective and analyzes the path of cultivation.
Clearly and thoroughly revealed to Lin Xian another system of immortal practice!
Stones from other hills, can learn.
In Lin Xian's opinion, this immortal scripture far surpasses the Six Paths of Reincarnation and seems to be comparable to the original true explanation. Obtaining this scripture saves him a hundred years of hard work in enlightenment.
After the deity in the Taoist temple finished reciting the last paragraph of the scripture, Lin Xian slowly opened his eyes and stood up from the platform. At this moment, Jiang Tingting came to report.
"Teacher, how should we deal with the Tianlin clan?" Jiang Tingting asked, pointing at an ice sculpture in the field.
"The Tianlin clan, descendants of the four great demon gods of the prehistoric world." Lin Xian thought for a moment and asked, "Could they be the descendants of the Silver Snake Great Sage on Earth?"
"That's not the case." Jiang Tingting shook her head. She had just learned from everyone that the ancestor of the Skyscale clan was the Yamata no Orochi.
Because of their extraordinary bloodline, some of their descendants chose to evolve into Jiao, while some remained giant snakes, so they were called the Tianlin tribe. They have lived in Changbai Mountain all year round, and for their own interests, they have supported humans of different periods.
In the secular world, many foreign emperors claimed that they were born in Changbai Mountain. They presented stone tablets to commemorate their merits and named Changbai Mountain a sacred mountain, surpassing the Five Sacred Mountains.
"Non-my family, its heart must be different."
Lin Xian said calmly: "Since the ancestors have been killed by the Heavenly Court, why leave the remnants behind to bring disaster to the Middle-earth Shenzhou?"
"Disciple obey!"
Jiang Tingting sharpened her knife, filled with murderous intent and a chilling aura. She was no longer the Guanghan Fairy, but had transformed into a cold god of war.
In Beidou and Ziwei, Taiyin’s body is still immature, but on Earth, even an Immortal cultivator is considered a person with great supernatural powers, she can sweep across the four seas and eight wildernesses!
"You're a young girl, I'm afraid you won't show mercy. I'm here to help you!"
The fat Taoist priest Duan De shouted hurriedly, his eyes shining with brilliance, as if he had set his sights on the many large tombs on Changbai Mountain. If he couldn't rob the Taoist ancestral temple, he couldn't rob the Tianlin clan either.
For the vast sea battle plan of the Heavenly Court, the Tianlin clan is just a small episode on Earth. The next conquest of the Western Taoist tradition is the highlight.
In order to select heavenly soldiers and generals, the Luotian Grand Ceremony was held as usual, and people of the younger generation took part in it.
As expected, several dragon-transforming geniuses won, but the performance of several young cultivators was extremely shocking.
For example, a middle-aged couple who had just embarked on the path of cultivation used their Life Spring cultivation to fight against the other shore and won the first place in the Wheel Sea Group.
"It's that simple?"
Mother Ye felt as if she were in a dream. She wondered if she had won too easily.
It is more than easy. Even when Ye Fan was at the Life Spring, he only dared to attack the Divine Bridge. Being able to jump two realms to fight can be called a god.
Ye Fan couldn't help but exclaimed, and quickly flattered her: "My mother has the potential to be an emperor!"
“Will there be any shady dealings?”
Father Ye, who was born in the system, was well versed in the ways of the world. He looked at Ye Fan and said, "Xiao Fan, was it you who took action?"
"How is that possible?" Ye Fan spread his hands innocently and said, "I have been standing by the stage all along. If I had to cheat, it was Saint Lin who helped me. You two elders won the competition with your strength. Go and express your feelings about winning the award."
"Acceptance speech?"
Father Ye was slightly stunned, and then he was pushed onto the stage. Under the attention of the crowd, he felt a familiar feeling and said subconsciously: "My husband and I won this time. First of all, we would like to thank the seniors of Longhu Mountain for their trust, thank the judge Lin Shengren for his favor, and thank my family for their support..."
Lin Xian smiled and clapped his hands. The previous ones were not important, only the last one was important. He stepped forward to present the prize to the two elders, an eternal lamp, which were both magical instruments of the ancient leader level. They shone brightly and brilliantly, illuminating the entire Longhu Mountain.
This was not his collection, but a magical instrument personally refined by Saint Lord Ye. The material was of divine jade grade and extremely precious. It shook up his small private treasury and added countless rare treasures.
It has not only the functions of attack and defense, but also can suppress the inner demons. It is an auxiliary artifact for spiritual practice, and I would not exchange it for any other divine weapon.
Ye's father and mother held the magic lamp in their hands and smiled brightly. It was not until much later that they discovered that the lamp on the Luotian Grand Ceremony not only illuminated the Luotian Grand Ceremony, but was also a guiding lamp for the nine heavens and ten earths.
