Chapter 269

Xiong Pi suddenly grinned, "Since there is a secret art that can break the immortal talisman without destroying the dragon vein, why can't there be a secret art that can imitate the celestial qi? Brother Green Wolf, have you ever felt the power of his attack? Did you not dare to attack once you sensed the celestial qi? "

The three questions in a row made Green Wolf speechless. At that time, the situation was indeed as Xiong Pi had said. Apart from the Celestial Being aura, the strength that Master had shown in front of him was to kill two Primordial Spirit Immortals in an instant. In such a situation, a Two-tribulation Yang God Immortal could easily do it, and maybe a One-tribulation Yang God with a deeper cultivation could also do it.

Seeing that Green Wolf had nothing to say, Xiong Pi continued, "Of course, it could be just like you said, Green Wolf, that it was only his body double. But, just like you said, if he wanted to save the one suppressed in the back mountain of the Flying Yard, he could have done it right after he came to our big world. How could Xiao Chuhe have the courage to fight against a Sky Immortal? Why would he wait until later to send his body double? Combined with the fact that he asked us to change the direction of the dragon vein, I think it is already clear. "

Hearing Xiong Pi, Green Wolf went silent for a while. He started to doubt, but he did not dare to believe Xiong Pi's conclusion, "But, Brother Xiong Pi, are you completely sure? What if the master was only training the secret art, but someone asked him to save the one in the back mountain of the Flying Yard? That way, he would not have time to be distracted, so it would not be hard to understand why he only sent his body double. Plus, no one knew about the change of direction of the other four dragon veins. If the master wanted to touch our dragon vein, he could have done the same. Why would he have to go through us and teach us the secret art? "

Xiong Pi was stunned by Green Wolf's question. He answered after a while, "I can only be ninety percent sure. But, Green Wolf, what you said is all based on coincidence, so there is basically no possibility!"

"My chances are indeed very low, but without absolute confidence, it's very dangerous to rashly question a Sky Immortal True Lord. We can't eliminate that possibility at all. After all, immortal arrays aren't something that can be found on the streets." Qing Lang smiled bitterly. Suspicions were just suspicions. If they acted based on suspicions, it would be extremely tragic if they ran into an iron plate.

Then, he hesitated and asked Xiong Pi, "How about, when that little cultivator comes to the West Border, I go catch him and ask him? Let's see if we can get solid evidence from him. "

Xiong Pi shook his head. "Let's not talk about the fact that there's an eighty to ninety percent chance that the little cultivator has nothing to do with him and was just casually appointed. Even if there really is a connection, just based on his aura alone, there's no way to find him in this vast world. Even if he comes to the Western Frontier, as long as he doesn't come within ten thousand kilometers of you, you still won't be able to sense him with your intuition. Furthermore, just as you said, you don't have absolute certainty that he isn't a Sky Immortal. If you do something to him and provoke his wrath, you'll have nowhere to run. "

Seeing that this would not work, Green Wolf simply said, "Anyway, I have already made a vow. At most, I will endure for a thousand years. If he is not a Sky Immortal, he will not force me too much, and it will not delay me from seeking merit to pass the second Heaven's Tribulation."

That being said, Green Wolf was furious when he thought that he had been deceived by an ordinary first-tribulation or second-tribulation Yang God Immortal, not to mention that he had flattered him in front of him, which made him feel ashamed.

"Haha, fortunately, I did not take the initiative to serve him." Xiong Pi said happily. Look at how smug you were back then. However, when he noticed that Green Wolf's expression had become rather unsightly, he hurriedly shut his mouth and said as if he was taking pleasure in Green Wolf's misfortune, "How about this, the next time he descends or we meet, I'll secretly test him, lest Fellow Daoist Green Wolf have to work like a cow or a horse for him for a thousand years. At that time, even if you can't take the initiative to harm him, you can still think of a way to ruin his plans and vent your anger."

Azure Wolf nodded solemnly. "As you say, Fellow Daoist Xiong Pi."

...

There were no obstacles along the way this time. After activating the space-time waymark that Xu Zhenjun had blessed, Shi Xuan directly returned to the ice cave at the bottom of Dubhe Peak in Penglai.

"Shi Xuan, you came back so soon. Did you find any clues about the Cosmic Stars Swordsmanship?" Xu Zhenjun, who was lying in the ice coffin, said when he sensed Shi Xuan coming out of the purple light gate.

Shi Xuan replied with a smile, "I dare not hide it from you, Immortal. My trip was very smooth, and I have already obtained the Cosmic Stars Swordsmanship. I came back to start practicing."

"Really?" Xu Zhenjun could not believe it. It was not easy to find this level of swordsmanship, but it was impossible for Shi Xuan to lie about it.

As they spoke, Shi Xuan suddenly saw an old cultivator with white hair and eyebrows sitting cross-legged in the ice wall on the other side of the ice cave. It was Sect Leader Zhang, Zhang Zhengyan. His eyes were closed, and there was no aura coming from him, as if he had been frozen in the ice wall.

"This, Immortal, why did Sect Leader Zhang do this?" Shi Xuan hesitated and asked Xu Zhenjun.

Xu Zhenjun sighed, "He wanted to use the Heavenly Thunder Mirror to become an heretic Primordial Spirit, and violated the sect's commandments. Therefore, he was punished to be frozen in the ice wall for a hundred years as a warning to others. Now, Spirit Star has taken over his position as sect leader."

"Sect Leader Zhang actually did this?!" Shi Xuan was a little surprised. After all, Sect Leader Zhang had always given him the impression that everything was for the sect, and he could be said to be diligent and devoted to the sect. It was unexpected that he would do such a thing that violated the sect's commandments. Alas, it seemed that the road to immortality and the heretic Primordial Spirit were too tempting for a cultivator like Sect Leader Zhang to be able to control himself.

However, on second thought, Shi Xuan thought that the Heavenly Thunder Mirror was in Sect Leader Zhang's hands, and because of him, the sect had an heretic cultivation method that could help him achieve the Primordial Spirit with the help of a Pure Yang Magic Treasure. The possible connection between the two could not be ignored by Xu Zhenjun and Linló, so Shi Xuan thought for a while and asked, "Immortal, you should have foreseen this long ago, right?"

Xu Zhenjun laughed at himself and said in a deep voice, "Zhengyan is an abandoned orphan. He was found by his master and brought to our Penglai. Since then, he has been growing up in the sect, participated in the Dharma Assembly, broke through the Qi-Guiding Realm, Divine Soul, and achieved the Upper Grade Gold Core. His temperament is not bad, but that is also where his obsession comes from."

"Immortal, are you saying that Sect Leader Zhang's obsession is because he values the sect too much?" Shi Xuan understood what Xu Zhenjun meant.

Xu Zhenjun said yes, "His experience made him see the sect as his home. No matter what he does, he will first consider the sect and will not violate any of the sect's commandments. This is the best for the sect. But as a cultivator, no matter how much he values the sect, he can't lose himself. As long as it doesn't involve the survival of the sect, he should be selfish when he needs to be, and he must prioritize himself when he needs to think about himself. "

"The way of longevity, the way of the Primordial Spirit, is ultimately the way of the self. It needs to reflect on oneself. If one's self is not strong, he can't find the Hidden Latch of life and death. In Zhengyan's heart, the sect has become a shackle that binds him, making it difficult for him to take that step forward. Like you, Shi Xuan, as long as it really benefits you, I'm afraid you won't follow the sect's commandments so strictly, "Xu Zhenjun saw that Shi Xuan was a little confused, so he directly used Shi Xuan as an example.

Shi Xuan suddenly remembered that he had secretly imparted the "Cold Light Splitting Heaven and Earth Immortal Array" to Green Wolf. Although it was an emergency and Green Wolf was also his slave, strictly speaking, it was indeed a violation of the sect's commandments. From this, it could be seen that although he liked Penglai very much and was willing to contribute to the sect, he was indeed not someone who would not violate the sect's commandments.

Therefore, Shi Xuan took a step forward and bowed, "This disciple is about to ask for forgiveness from Immortal Venerable. This time, in order to obtain the Heavenly Cycle Stars Sword Technique, I have imparted the Cold Light Splitting Heaven and Earth Immortal Array."

"You, you, heh, Lao Dao really hit the nail on the head! However, the Heavenly Cycle Stars Sword Technique can be ranked among the top ten in the Myriad Heavens and Earth Immortal Array. It is much stronger than the Cold Light Splitting Heaven and Earth Immortal Array, so the sect is not considered to have suffered a loss. You will guard the Tower of the Ends of the Earth for twenty years, and this matter will be considered over. Linló is waiting to go out and accumulate merits, "Xu Zhenjun jokingly scolded.

Shi Xuan had originally come back to prepare to cultivate, and it was not a problem for him to cultivate in the Tower of the Ends of the Earth. Moreover, even without this punishment, Immortal Jiang and Immortal Lin were not around, as Immortal Shi, he, as Immortal Shi, had to guard the Tower of the Ends of the Earth. Therefore, this punishment was only symbolic. Naturally, Shi Xuan agreed readily, "This disciple obeys."

Xu Zhenjun sighed again and continued to talk about Sect Leader Zhang, "Therefore, after Zhengyan became a Yin Master, Lao Dao let him stay in the Boundless World as the Sect Leader to handle the affairs of the sect. He hoped that this kind of boring and trivial life would make him feel disgusted and unable to bear it. In addition, with the gradual loss of his lifespan, the pressure caused by the gradual loss of his lifespan would make him want to get rid of this kind of life, and thus break through his obsession with the sect, and come to Lao Dao to ask for his resignation. If this could really happen, he would have found the opportunity to break through the Hidden Latch of Life and Death. Unfortunately, until now, he still does not understand the intention of Lao Dao. "

"So, Immortal Venerable, you and Immortal Lin watched Sect Leader Zhang exchange for the heretic Primordial Spirit technique, and continued to hold on to the Pure Yang magical treasure. You wanted to see if the temptation of the heretic Primordial Spirit could make Sect Leader Zhang break through his obsession? But why is he like this now? " Shi Xuan finally understood the thoughts of Xu Zhenjun and Linló. However, since Sect Leader Zhang had violated the sect's commandments, why did he not step into the Hidden Latch of Life and Death?

"It was Lao Dao who thought too little. Although he broke through his obsession, he also subverted the path that he had firmly believed in. If his foundation is not stable, how can he talk about stepping into the Hidden Latch of Life and Death? "Xu Zhenjun resumed his self-deprecating tone.

"Moreover, Lao Dao also had a bit of selfishness. The Godly Thunder Mirror of Heavens is a Pure Yang magical treasure that Founding Master Song obtained when he obtained the technique in the West Wilderness. At that time, it had already gone through two Heavenly Tribulations, and the eighteen layers of the Forbidden Treasure had been perfected for a long time. It was not far from the third Heavenly Tribulation. After that, nearly twenty thousand years passed. According to Lao Dao's estimation, it would welcome the third Heavenly Tribulation in a few hundred years at most, "Xu Zhenjun continued.

Shi Xuan now understood that the sect was prepared for both sides. If Sect Leader Zhang could achieve the Primordial Spirit, it would naturally be a good thing. If not, becoming a heretic Primordial Spirit was not bad either. After all, the Godly Thunder Mirror of Heavens was very likely to be destroyed during the third Heavenly Tribulation. Instead, it would be better if the heretic Primordial Spirit could protect the sect for hundreds of thousands of years.

But why did Sect Leader Zhang not become a heretic Primordial Spirit, but was frozen in the ice wall instead?
