Chapter 9 Think Twice Before Acting

Jin'ao Island.

As the residence of saints, the mountains are filled with fairy air and spiritual energy. Occasionally, there are cranes playing and monkeys hanging upside down, which looks extremely extraordinary.

On this day, Master Tongtian summoned his four most direct disciples, the seven attendants, and the outer sect's eldest brother Zhao Gongming to his side and asked, "The way of heaven shows that the Xia Dynasty has run out of luck. Now is the time for a change of dynasty. Who among you is willing to go to the Nine Provinces to assist the new king and carry out the conquest?"

Change of dynasty?

Upon hearing this, the disciples were stunned.

It has been only about 400 years since Dayu established the Xia Dynasty. Are his descendants so disappointing?
How come the dynasty is changing so soon?

Taoist Duobao shook his head and spoke first: "Too much is as bad as too little. I have served as the teacher of the Emperor of Earth, so I will not compete with the saints for this merit!"

The Golden Spirit Holy Mother also said: "I once assisted Dayu in slaying demons and controlling floods. This time, I will not compete with you fellow disciples for this opportunity!"

As the eldest brother and eldest sister of Jiejiao, Duobao Taoist and Jinling Shengmu are not short of merit and fortune, and they simply look down upon the merit of changing the dynasty.

When Emperor Fuxi was evolving the Eight Trigrams, the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother received an order from Nuwa to carry the River Map and give it to Fuxi, who had not yet attained enlightenment, to help him comprehend the Great Dao and perfect his own Emperor Dao. She also received some merit in return, but did not take it seriously.

As for the Holy Mother Wu Dang, after thinking it over again and again, she said, "During this period of time, my disciple has realized something in his heart. I want to go into seclusion to sort it out and see if I can kill another corpse. I will not join in the fun!"

When the seven fairies heard about the merits, they were somewhat tempted. However, when they heard the word "conquest", they were worried that they would accidentally be contaminated by the cause and effect.

Merit is not so easy to earn. Even with the endorsement of a saint, there is still a possibility of backlash, especially... this kind of conquest that will inevitably lead to killing!

The lessons of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Orthodox School are still vivid in my mind, as if it were yesterday!

Although the relationship between the two sects of Chan and Jie was not very good, they had also heard about the incident in which the Twelve Golden Immortals of Chan, under the leadership of Guangchengzi, assisted Xuanyuan in the battle against Chiyou and were involved in the killing calamity of the mortal world.

In the past, the cultivation level of Guangchengzi and others was similar to that of Duobao Taoist, but because they were contaminated by the killing calamity, they were unable to kill the three corpses. As a result, for tens of thousands of years, their cultivation level had hardly improved, and they were left far behind by the four direct disciples of Jiejiao.

Even the Dark Cloud Immortal who served the Seven Immortals had killed one corpse, while the Twelve Golden Immortals were still trapped in the Daluo realm. It was obvious that assisting the Human Emperor was not a simple task.

If you are not careful, you will get burned.

At that time, not only will you not get any benefits, but it may also affect your subsequent practice.

Therefore, the seven immortals were weighing the pros and cons to see whether they should get involved in this matter.

As for Zhao Gongming, the eldest brother of the outer sect, seeing that everyone else was silent, he immediately took a step forward and said, "I am not talented, but I am willing to share the worries of the teacher!"

He is the incarnation of the breeze and has always done whatever he wants. Now that his cultivation has reached the perfection of Daluo, it is a good time for him to go to the mortal world to cultivate his mind and look for an opportunity to behead the corpse.

Upon hearing this, Master Tongtian nodded in satisfaction and said, "In this case, the important task of finding the man of destiny and supporting the country of Kyushu will be handed over to you, Gongming!"

Then he added: "When you are in doubt, you can ask your senior brother Duobao for advice. Don't be reckless. If there are disciples in the sect who want to go to the human world, you might as well take them with you!"

"is teacher!"

Zhao Gongming nodded quickly, looking terrified.

……

Kunlun Mountains.

This mountain is known as the ancestor of all mountains. It is countless millions of feet high and countless miles wide. There are undulating mountains and beautiful scenery. There are fairy birds and beasts, fairy flowers, spiritual roots and fairy herbs. Although it is not as high as Mount Buzhou, the pillar of heaven, it is filled with spiritual energy and fairy air. In terms of richness, it is still higher than Mount Buzhou.

Yuanshi Tianzun sat on the cloud bed in Yuxu Palace, looking at the twelve golden immortals under his tutelage, and said: "Some time ago, I discussed with your uncle Tongtian that the change of the human dynasty this time would be led by Jiejiao. However, if you are interested, you can also go down the mountain and try to see if there is a chance to eliminate the killing calamity on you!"

Upon hearing this, Daoxing Tianzun, Qingxu Daode Tianzun and others immediately turned their gazes to Guangchengzi, frowning slightly, as if they remembered something bad.

Upon seeing this, Guangchengzi quickly lowered his head, not daring to look his fellow disciples in the eye.

After all, the reason why these fellow apprentices were involved in the murderous calamities of the mortal world was because of him, and he always felt somewhat indebted to them.

Seeing that none of his disciples spoke, Yuanshi Tianzun said again: "Although all of my disciples are virtuous, there are too few of them. If you meet a suitable creature in the prehistoric world, you may as well accept him as your disciple, so that he can inherit my great path of Chan Sect!"

"Yes, teacher!" Upon hearing this, the Twelve Golden Immortals nodded immediately and said, "Disciples will follow your instructions, teacher!" The Orthodox Sect pursues an elite policy. No matter whether it is the eldest brother Nan Ji Dao Ren, Yun Zhongzi, or the Twelve Golden Immortals, they are all innate creatures. However, in terms of the number of disciples, they are far less than the Jie Sect, which adheres to the principle of teaching without distinction. As a result, the Orthodox Sect has always been inferior to the Jie Sect in momentum.

They knew clearly that their teacher and Uncle Tongtian were on opposite sides of the same path, but as a saint, it was not easy for him to take direct action, so they could only compete through the achievements of their disciples!

As for Master Uncle, he follows the principle of inaction, so he won't care about these trivial matters.

If you want to fight, go ahead and fight!
Now, because of the killing calamities in the mortal world, their cultivation level has lagged behind the four direct disciples of Jiejiao, which makes Yuanshi Tianzun feel embarrassed. So he came up with the idea of ​​turning the tables with the third generation of disciples.

That's why they are allowed to recruit disciples and strengthen the orthodox teachings!

……

Han Yi had no idea what happened in Jin'ao Island and Kunlun Mountain, the two great saints' dojo. Even if he knew, he would not care.

His top priority is to refine his essence, accumulate magic power, and reach the Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation realm as soon as possible!
Although the practice of Taoism emphasizes the unity of essence, energy and spirit, there is still a distinction between the primary and the secondary, and the primordial spirit is the core and focus of them.

Only when a practitioner reaches the realm of refining qi into spirit and possesses spiritual consciousness can he use the power of his primordial spirit to mobilize the spiritual energy between heaven and earth and cast some powerful spells!
In this way, you can completely distance yourself from ordinary people and enter another level!
"The true Qi flows down to fill the dark gate, calming the spirit and consolidating the essence to block the source of death. The Jade Sutra is bright and clear, communicating with all the gods, bringing me eternal life. It saves the seven ancestors and turns them into immortals, and refines the one Qi of the hundred gods."

Han Yi silently practiced the "Shangqing Dadong Sutra", constantly breathing in and out, absorbing the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, removing the turbid and retaining the clear, and quickly filling his Dantian.

However, even if he shared Zhiyi's racial talents by borrowing Faliangtian's magical power and increasing his speed of refining Yuanjing and breathing in spiritual energy several times, he was still a long way from entering the realm of refining Qi and transforming it into spirit and giving birth to divine consciousness. It could not be achieved overnight!

Han Yi sighed: "It would be great if we could find a few magical herbs!"

The spiritual energy in Jiuzhou is already thin. Even if he practices day and night, it will take at least more than a year for his dantian to fill up with magic power.

"Time waits for us!"

The few opportunities he knew about could not be seized without sufficient strength, and with his current strength, he might not be able to seize them even if the opportunity was placed in front of him.

Dayu cast the Jiuzhou Ding and set up the Jiuzhou barrier. Although this could reduce the threat of demons and suppress their strength, such a magnificent barrier was also constantly draining the spiritual energy from the heaven and earth, causing the spiritual energy in the Jiuzhou territory to be thin, making it difficult to practice breathing exercises with half the effort and twice the results.

However, there is nothing we can do about it!
Where there is gain, there is loss!

The way of heaven is to avoid perfection, and the way of man is to avoid complacency. In this world, there is no such thing as perfection. When you receive blessings, you must also pay some price!
"We have to think of a solution!"

In fact, there are monsters in Jiuzhou, but they are not strong, or they have some connection with humans and do not interfere with humans!

In the past, the demon emperor Di Jun ordered the collection of the essence, blood, and souls of the human race to refine the Witch-Slaying Sword that could specifically restrain the true body of the Ancestral Witches in order to fight against the Twelve Ancestral Witches. Hundreds of millions of humans died and turned into resentful souls, which remained in the world forever. It was not until Hou Tu reincarnated that these resentful souls finally found a place to rest.

At that time, there were ten demon generals in the demon clan. Among them, Bai Ze and Shang Yang thought that this action would offend the goddess Nuwa, so they secretly sheltered a part of the human race.

When the Demon Court was destroyed and the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of the human race were born, Bai Ze presented Xuanyuan with a map of monsters, on which the weaknesses of many ferocious monsters were noted. After Xuanyuan became the Queen of Humanity, he wiped out many monsters that were stained with the blood of humans.

Bai Ze was also named a auspicious beast by the ancient human race and completely cut off his connection with the former demon court.

There were also members of the Rat Tribe, Ox Tribe, Tiger Tribe, Rabbit Tribe... Because they helped Xuanyuan defeat Chiyou, after Xuanyuan ascended the throne of the Human Emperor, he named them the Twelve Zodiac Animals and allowed them to survive in the human territory.

The demon race generally has innate magical powers that allow them to detect the scents of various treasures. Where they live, there may be some magical herbs or precious medicines that can help people improve their cultivation.

Han Yi's current strength is not enough to support him to leave the range of Jiuzhou barrier, so he can only set his sights on... these monsters living in the human territory!

"Xue Che likes to hunt exotic animals, so maybe he knows some information. Let's go visit him tomorrow!"

"If that doesn't work, think of other ways!"

Most of the Xuanmen techniques require one to cultivate to the level of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation, and the birth of the power of the primordial spirit before they can be activated.

Han Yi is currently only at the stage of refining essence into qi, and the most powerful magic he can activate right now is palm thunder!
Moreover, due to the limitation of magic power and the influence of the Kyushu barrier, its power will be greatly reduced!

Now, the most he can do is provoke those little demons who have just awakened their intelligence. It is simply impossible for him to run rampant.

Therefore, you need to think twice before doing anything, and think about it more!
