Chapter 226: Gambling on the Fate of the Sect
When Lu Xun first came to Tianque Sect, he felt that this sect was a bit strange.
There are too many short people among the senior leaders and elites of this sect...too many that is a bit abnormal.
Could it be that when Tianque Sect selects disciples, they prefer people like Wu Dalang?
But this doesn't make sense. Normal people's tastes shouldn't be so unique.
Maybe just like all the disciples of Wu Ji Mountain have expressionless faces, the fact that Tian Que Sect has so many dwarfs may also be due to problems with their martial arts?
Lu Xun was actually half right at the beginning. It was indeed related to the Tianque Sect's martial arts, but his dwarfism was not caused by practicing the martial arts.
The main reason is that inside the Tianque Gate, there is an old ancestor who is in seclusion!
The third generation leader of Tianque Sect, at the peak of the sixth realm, Master Tianhe!
When Master Tianhe's time was up, he still couldn't break through to the seventh realm.
As long as one can enter the seventh realm, one can extend his life and lead the Tianque Sect to a further step.
Before his death, Master Tianhe used the secret method he obtained in the ruins and began to retreat into death.
But his seclusion was different from Yan Li's. Yan Li went into seclusion because he had problems with his practice and went astray.
But Master Tianhe forced himself to breathe his last.
The Tianque Sect's cultivation method is derived from the ancient witch clan, which allows one's own blood to be contaminated with the power of blood.
We are not related by blood, but the power in our blood is the same.
Master Tianhe is trying to keep a breath of life, and every year he needs a disciple under the age of ten with good talent to supply him with bloodline power.
It’s a bit like... giving nutrition to a vegetative person.
This kind of supply will not affect the child's life span, but it will make the child weak for a period of time, and then the child will not grow tall.
This is the secret of Tianque Sect, known only to the Sect Master and the elders. These children who had provided for the ancestors when they were young are also being trained to become the next generation of high-level leaders.
Therefore, these old dwarfs in Tianque Gate have all done this.
This is not just a matter of "I'll extend the life of my ancestors for a few seconds", this extension will last for several generations.
When the blood power has accumulated sufficiently, Master Tianhe will try to break through the seventh level.
And what Mo Beihe is doing now is to burn all his blood to supply the ancestor in exchange for the ancestor's brief appearance!
The price is simple, that is Mo Beihe's life.
A former beggar, a mere fifth-level cultivator, used his own life to exchange for the life of a sixth-level warrior, plus the favor of the Demon Sect's junior uncle... This is how Mo Beihe betted small for big after sitting at the gambling table!
Liu Ying was not a fool, he naturally saw the difference in Mo Beihe at this moment.
He became alert and slashed forward with the huge blade in his hand.
How could the elders around not know the purpose of the leader? Although they were sad, they still tried their best to block Mo Beihe.
"Whoosh——" a wisp of breeze blew across the top of the mountain.
The spear in Mo Beihe's hand suddenly stood up.
It was held in the hands of an old man.
The gun shot out like a dragon, and the dragon carving on the gun seemed to come alive.
A dragon roar sounded from the top of the mountain, and Liu Ying was shocked and took several steps back.
"Ancestor!" everyone said in unison.
The old man was wearing clothes similar to Mo Beihe's. He patted Mo Beihe's shoulder with his right hand, which directly dissolved the burning in his blood.
Mo Beihe, who was lying on the ground in a mess, had bloodshot eyes. He coughed up blood and roared, "Old Ancestor, if you interrupt my spellcasting, you will... you will... cough cough cough!"
The old man was Tianhe Shangren. His face was very white, an abnormally white color.
Then, the whole person slowly changes at a speed visible to the naked eye.
His spirit was improving, and his complexion became a little rosier, like the last breath of a dying man!
He waved his hand gently, indicating that Mo Beihe didn't need to say anything more.
There were bursts of copper bell sounds around Tianhe Shangren's body.
He put his hand into his arms and took out a copper bell that was exactly the same as Mo Beihe's .
There is actually a pair of copper bells!
Therefore, when Liu Ying went up the mountain and showed his murderous intentions, Master Tianhe already knew about it.
…
…
Master Tianhe took a few steps forward, holding a spear in his hand, and stood in front of the people from Tianque Gate, protecting them behind him.
The night wind blew, and his white hair danced with it.
"Half a step to the peak." He looked at Liu Ying and made his comment.
The strong man who is about to enter the peak of the sixth realm is indeed an existence that Mo Beihe and others cannot resist.
But he is different.
The same spear, when held in Mo Beihe's hand, was completely different from when held in his hand.
This gun is called [Lone Bravery]. When using it, the key is to make a concerted effort and advance without retreating!
Every time a gun is fired, there will be bursts of dragon roars, like a dragon emerging into the world!
The giant blade in Liu Ying's hand collided with the spear. The old man kept moving forward, while Liu Ying kept moving backward.
The spear was thrust from top to bottom, and the tip of the spear was like a stream of light in the dark night.
Liu Ying raised the giant blade to block, but his knees could not bear the weight and he fell heavily to the ground, creating a huge deep pit!
One is a burly man, the other is a skinny old man.
The latter, however, pressed on step by step, and now with the power of a shot, the strong man fell to his knees!
“Half a step to the peak, after all, is only half a step to the peak.”
The old man swung his gun and Liu Ying flew backwards. A layer of purple light armor appeared on his body, but was shattered by the gunshot.
Master Tianhe did not hold back at all because he didn't have much time left.
He did not accept the burning power of Mo Beihe's blood. Now, he is just a last glimmer of light before stepping into the gates of hell.
To be honest, as the ancestor of Tianque Sect and the third leader, he felt justified in receiving the blood supply over the years.
Because he is the ancestor of the sect, the disciples of Tianque Sect are able to enter the door of cultivation, more or less, they must have benefited from him.
There is a saying among the people, which is "the ancestors give you food to eat", which is roughly the same meaning.
But since he had received this offering and had been able to survive for so long, it was only natural that he should break through now.
If the sky falls , this tall man will hold it up.
The dwarf wanted to take over first, but Master Tianhe did not agree.
After being in seclusion for such a long time, Master Tianhe had actually already understood that there was no hope for him to make a breakthrough in this lifetime.
Hiding like this is just a way to keep myself alive.
Between life and death, there is great fear.
Even if you know there is no hope, you are still afraid of death.
I have been afraid of death for so many years.
But when the copper bell in his arms rang, everything in the past seemed to come vividly to his mind.
He grew up in this sect, practiced here, inherited the position of the sect leader here, and also swore here that he would spend his entire life protecting Tianque Sect and make Tianque Sect regain the glory it had when Master Tianque was here!
Although he was in seclusion, he would have a moment of clarity every year when he received blood supply.
He would find out what had happened in recent years and how Tianquemen had developed.
He watched as generation after generation of masters knelt before him, kowtowed to him, and said they were ashamed of their ancestors.
Tianque Sect has been on a downward trend, and each generation of Sect Leaders who took over almost always carried out the legacy of the previous Sect Leaders.
The burden is getting heavier and heavier.
It seems to be able to suffocate people.
But this is how a sect continues, no matter if it is a famous or large sect or a small or medium-sized sect.
This is responsibility, and this is also inheritance.
When Master Tianhe first started practicing, he showed his talent for cultivation and he also clearly felt the eager anticipation in his master's eyes.
He is the third leader of Tianque Sect. He knows very well that when Master Tianque passed away, his master, as the second-generation leader, was under a lot of pressure.
But the continuation of a sect is like this. The continued prosperity of a sect requires the efforts and protection of generations of people.
Sometimes, a sect is a bit like a small country.
When obtaining the blood supply a few months ago, Master Tianhe learned that the Tianque Sect had established contact with the Demon Sect.
The moment the bronze bell rang, he already knew the whole cause and effect. As a strong man at the peak of the sixth realm, everything inside the sect was under his spiritual perception.
Therefore, it was not just Mo Beihe who was making the decision, but also Master Tianhe.
Tianque Sect is now facing a battle that will determine the fate of the sect.
The price is simple: the death of an ancestor who is on one breath left and has no hope of breaking through, or the death of a contemporary leader.
Mo Beihe made his own choice, and so did Tianhe Shangren.
He laughed wildly, as if speaking to the younger generations: "I've been locked up for so long, I've had enough!"
"Let's have fun in today's battle!"
This old guy has been afraid of death for hundreds of years and has been lingering on for hundreds of years.
At this moment I just want to have a good fight!
The spear [Gu Yong] seemed to be able to tear the entire night sky apart. The spear shot out like a dragon, and a fierce and ostentatious dragon roar spread from Tianque Gate, and the sound spread throughout the Three Thousand Mountains area!
The dormant dragon has been awakened.
One roar can shake thousands of mountains.
"When a person is born, he should die!!!"
