Chapter 474: The end of Tianshu, the dawn of Shenxiao!
Shenxiao Sword Sect.
"Star Lord!"
Qin Mo had just returned from Mount Qixia, and Emperor Yan and Zhou Shihong immediately went up the mountain to pay him a visit. The scene that took place in Mount Beimang had already spread throughout the Central Continent.
The two of them looked a little strange...
"Why are you all looking at me like that?" Qin Mo had no awareness of being a celebrity at all.
Zhou Shihong smiled and said, "The sword of Xingjun is well-known in the world of earthly immortals. He dares to fight against two celestial immortals one after another. Xingjun is probably the only one in the world of earthly immortals."
Regarding Qin Mo's decision,
Zhou Shihong can only give unconditional support now.
"I was also sweating. It's all because the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance went too far." Qin Mo said with a smile.
"Looking at Xingjun's expression, is he confident?" Emperor Yan interrupted at the right time, "I heard that after Xingjun and Jinguang Zhenren left, Taihao Zhenren of Yuxu Palace and Yuyang Zhenren reached some kind of agreement."
Emperor Yan is still a little worried...
"It's nothing more than an alliance between Shu and Tang to deal 's not like we don't have allies." Qin Mo had already prepared himself mentally.
"Then, what if Tang State holds back Yue State and Shu State launches an all-out attack?" Emperor Yan guessed a possibility.
"Don't worry," Qin Mo's eyes were bright. "The failure of Tang's attempt to form an immortal alliance is a great benefit to the three demonic kingdoms. If Shu really attacks, how could they just sit there and watch?"
Shu Kingdom borders both the Immortal Kingdom and the Styx Kingdom. If it really wants to attack Xia Kingdom with all its might, isn't it afraid that the two countries will take advantage of the situation and Shu will end up losing more than it gains?
The situation in the Central Continent is complicated and intricate, and any small move can affect the entire body, so it is not so easy to handle.
"That's true." Emperor Yan nodded slightly.
only,
It's not a pleasant feeling to pin your hopes on others. What if the devil really just stands by and watches?
"Let's just get through these few years," Qin Mo revealed a little information. "In the next period of time, the Central Continent should enter a new adjustment period. As long as Xia Kingdom doesn't make any mistakes, there won't be any big problems. I will also stay in Shenxiao Mountain to prevent Shu Kingdom from doing anything desperate."
First there was the Battle of Yangzhou, and then there was the turmoil in Beimang Mountain. Both the four immortal kingdoms and the three demonic kingdoms would have to make a strategic adjustment in response to the new situation.
Unless one is very sure, no one would be stupid enough to take the lead.
That would become a target of public criticism.
"With the Star Lord guarding Qinling, I feel relieved." Emperor Yan was worried that Qin Mo would go out and have fun again. " Should we interact more with Yue Kingdom in the next period of time?"
"Of course,"
Qin Mo smiled and nodded, jokingly saying: "Jin'ao Island is now our strong backer." The enemy of my enemy is my friend. This is a simple truth.
After talking about business,
Emperor Yan said goodbye and left immediately, but Zhou Shihong stayed alone.
"Is there something wrong?" Qin Mo also dismissed Han Fei.
"Xingjun, now that we have fallen out with the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, will the teleportation array be taken advantage of by the evil forces?" Zhou Shihong expressed his concerns.
True Lord Yuyang doesn't even have to cheat blatantly, he only needs to take a nap to allow the evil to invade.
"It's a bit troublesome,"
This was also a headache for Qin Mo. With True Lord Yuyang's hypocritical behavior, he might really do something like this. After thinking for a while, he said, "Then let's temporarily close the teleportation array."
"How long will it take?"
Many materials and personnel of Xia Country are frequently exchanged with Blue Star. Once the route is closed, there will inevitably be heavy losses and a series of chain reactions will be triggered.
"Keep it down until we can resist the evil on our own." Qin Mo didn't care about the losses.
As the weaker party,
You have to learn to pay some price.
"I understand." Zhou Shihong is also a decisive person, "After we go down the mountain, I will close the teleportation array."
"good,"
Qin Mo nodded slightly, then said, "I heard that some members of Tianshu in Xuandu Xianzhou are not obeying orders? And some sects that had previously agreed to come are also unwilling to come?"
Well, it's a bit sad...
"yes……"
Back then, Zhou Shihong had assured Qin Mo that his control over Tianshu members was definitely better than that of the Wanxian League. Now that such a thing has happened, he wishes he could find a hole to crawl into.
It's so embarrassing.
"Some things should be let go, so let them go." Qin Mo is quite open-minded.
Cultivators have never been a group of affectionate people. The higher their cultivation level, the colder they become. Even Qin Mo is the same, isn't he?
Most of the time, I feel calm.
Those Tianshu members who practiced in Xuandu Fairyland have long been integrated into the local sects after hundreds of years. Not to mention that they still have any feelings for Tianshu, they may have even forgotten their families on Blue Star?
Time passes,
Most people haven’t even thought about returning to Blue Star, so how could they obey Tianshu’s orders again?
Even if they really want to return to the Central Continent, it is mainly out of considerations of interests. How much affection is involved, I am afraid even the parties involved cannot explain it clearly.
It's still a bit wishful thinking.
Outside of the Earthly Immortal Realm, the Taoist temples of all levels established by Tianshu in China have given players many more choices as the Earthly Immortal Realm is fully opened.
The Taoist temple had no teachers and no students, and gradually became deserted.
In contrast to the decline of the Taoist temple is the comprehensive rise of sectarian forces in China, especially the four major sects. After nearly two hundred years of development, their influence has penetrated into every corner of China.
How can Tianshu be compared to it?
Tianshu's ideals seem to be getting further and further away.
With the deliberate publicity and guidance of those enterprises related to the four major immortal sects, ordinary people's recognition of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance has exceeded that of Tianshu, which has always acted low-key.
How sad?!
“Hey~~~”
Zhou Shihong sighed deeply, looking gloomy.
Establishing Tianshu and defending China are Zhou Shihong's lifelong pursuits. As time goes by, his belief has never wavered. It has already penetrated into his bones and become the whole of his life.
Seeing Tianshu suffer a setback,
The one who could not accept it the most was the founder Zhou Shihong.
he,
This is the true soul of Tianshu.
"In fact, I also know that if the trend continues, Tianshu will not be able to survive long. I have just been deceiving myself and unwilling to accept this reality." Zhou Shihong smiled bitterly.
Qin Mo felt a little sorry when he saw this, and consoled them by saying, "Even though many people have withdrawn, there are still some people who are determined to stay, right?"
"Yes, there are some,"
This was Zhou Shihong's last bit of comfort, "Most of those who stayed had military backgrounds."
"Then have you ever considered that, since the general trend is unstoppable, why not go with the flow and transform Tianshu into a sect, a special sect whose first purpose is to defend China?" Qin Mo suggested.
He also didn't want to see Tianshu disappear in the long river of history.
"Is there any difference?" Zhou Shihong was puzzled.
"Of course there is a difference. Compared to the loose organization before, after the formation of the sect, the ideals and beliefs of Tianshu are completely integrated with the vital interests of every member. There is no need for division anymore."
An organization that only cares about interests but not ideals and beliefs will naturally not last long. But if there are only ideals and beliefs but no interests, it will also not go far.
"What you said seems to make sense." Zhou Shihong thought, "I was too idealistic before and didn't take into account the characteristics of the world of immortal cultivation."
Long and arduous journey,
How many people can always stick to their original intentions?
"It's good that you have thought it through. If Tianshu really wants to form a sect, I can make the decision and give up the entire Qilian Mountain." Qin Mo was quite generous.
"Thank you, Xingjun!"
Zhou Shihong bowed his head, but it was clear that he had not yet made up his mind. He was worried that after establishing the sect, would he be able to stick to his original intention in the future?
Will it go bad?
I'm afraid only time can give an answer.
…
In the next few years, just as Qin Mo predicted, with three immortals each backing up the immortals and demons, a fragile balance was restored.
The countries in Central Continent have entered a period of strategic adjustment.
Because monks have a long lifespan, monks, especially high-level monks, often have decision-making inertia for a long period of time when making decisions.
The conflict may only break out for one or two years, but the subsequent adjustments may take decades or even hundreds of years.
Also, because the secular dynasties in the Earthly Immortal Realm are backed by super sects, changes of dynasties rarely occur. Even if there are changes, they are only implementing the will of the super sects.
therefore,
The secular dynasty has long since adapted to the "lazy" decision-making of the immortal sect.
For ordinary people, it may be that when they were young, the dynasty broke out in external conflict. By the time the next conflict arose, this person would have already entered old age or even turned into a handful of earth.
Overall, as a citizen of the Earthly Immortal Realm, we are still very happy.
…
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is already the year 7250.
Shenxiao Peak, the cave in the back mountain .
There was no trace of Qin Mo on the cloud bed, only a shrunken Jiutian Xuansha Tower stood there.
The pagoda has six floors.
Qin Mo sat cross-legged under the ancient tree of time. The rapidly passing time was like visible ripples, passing by him and creating circles of time ripples.
Although only six years had passed in the outside world, for Qin Mo, it felt like a full sixty years had passed.
Including the previous time, Qin Mo has been meditating under the ancient tree of time for a hundred years. He has finally consolidated his foundation in Taoism and strengthened his cultivation to become a One-Tribulation True Immortal. At the same time, he has also improved his swordsmanship.
What’s more…
But as Qin Mo's mind moved, a purple-blue battle armor flew out from his dantian and hung in front of him. Purple lightning was emanating from the whole body, making him look noble and aloof.
"It finally worked..."
Qin Mo's heart was filled with excitement. He had spent more than two hundred and fifty years to finally refine the dusty Bixiao armor to the level of a top-grade magical weapon.
Going up further,
Even if it is the Pure Yang magic weapon when the Bixiao Armor was at its peak, I wonder how many years it will take.
At the very least,
In the realm of True Immortal, Qin Mo did not have too high expectations.
Even so, if a first-tribulation true immortal actually possessed two top-grade magic weapons at the same time, no one would believe it if he told others about it.
But Qin Mo did it.
"I wonder how my uncle's recovery is going." Qin Mo also thought about asking his uncle, True Man Chimei, to heal his injuries under the Ancient Tree of Time, which would be faster.
But that would be equivalent to directly transferring the external pressure faced by the Shenxiao Sword Sect to the uncle.
For a person who is about to go through the fourth 49-day tribulation, adding such pressure for no reason and causing anxiety will instead lead to unnecessary mental demons and increase unnecessary variables.
After thinking about it, I decided to forget it.
Since the situation in the Central Continent is relatively stable right now, we don't mind waiting a few more years.
So as to avoid any variables arising out of thin air.
After putting away the Bixiao armor, Qin Mo left the Jiutian Xuansha Pagoda and put the pagoda into his sea of consciousness. Then he left the cave and walked straight into the depths of the mountain.
Slightly tilted,
Then he came to the place where the Red Eyebrow Immortal was in seclusion.
"Is that Qin Mo? Come in!" Without waiting for Qin Mo to report, True Man Chimei had already locked onto Qin Mo's aura in advance, and the door to the underground cave opened automatically.
Qin Mo was delighted and quickly entered the cave. Seeing the Red Eyebrow Immortal sitting cross-legged on the cloud bed, his aura was obviously much stronger. He smiled and asked, "Is Master Uncle's injury completely healed?"
"Thanks to you!"
Chimei Zhenren smiled slightly, got off the cloud bed, and invited Qin Mo to the tea room in the side hall. "The spiritual herbs you found for me are of sufficient age, and the spiritual energy in this place is also abundant. My injuries were healed a year ago."
"Congratulations, Uncle Master!"
Qin Mo was completely relieved. He was afraid that something might go wrong with his uncle's treatment, such as a hidden disease or a stubborn illness. That would be very difficult to deal with.
"I've been waiting for you. If you don't come, I will leave on my own." said Chimei Zhenren.
Qin Mo's eyes narrowed, "Master, are you preparing to overcome the tribulation? Otherwise, how about recuperating for a few more years?"
At this time, Qin Mo was not in a hurry. He hoped that his uncle could be more cautious and spend another ten years to adjust his condition to the peak after his injury healed.
"Don't try to persuade me anymore," Chimei Zhenren said firmly, "I was caught in the turbulence of time and space, and the injuries on my body have always been my biggest concern. Now that the concern has been resolved, it is the time when I am in the best condition. I should make a concerted effort to trigger the thunder tribulation. Blindly seeking stability will lead to instability."
Qin Mo seemed to be thinking about something.
Human spirit is a very wonderful thing and needs to be viewed dialectically. Sometimes being too rational or calculating is, to some extent, a manifestation of lack of self-confidence.
confidence,
Instead, it became the most important support for overcoming the fourth 49-day catastrophe.
The words of Chimei Zhenren were both an explanation and a teaching to Qin Mo. If Qin Mo understood, he would take fewer detours in the future.
So,
On the path of spiritual practice, wealth, friends, Dharma and place are all indispensable.
Although Qin Mo was born in the Shenxiao Sect, his highest level of cultivation in his previous life was only the Tribulation Crossing Stage. As a result, he received less instruction in the realm of Earthly Immortals, especially the True Immortals, and could only explore on his own.
The arrival of True Man Chimei undoubtedly made up for this shortcoming for Qin Mo.
"Thank you for your teachings, Uncle Master!"
Qin Mo reacted and immediately saluted with his fists.
"Since your master is not here, it is naturally my duty as your uncle to help you." Chimei Zhenren smiled and waved his hand, which invisibly brought the two closer together.
"Master, have you decided where to survive the tribulation?"
If I were to undergo the tribulation in the Earthly Immortal Realm, it would probably attract some unnecessary attention.
"Why, do you have any good suggestions?"
