The giant centipede saw that in the valley, other than the Divine Dao cultivator who had escaped in advance, the Divine Soldiers, Divine Generals, Guardians, and the altar here had all been destroyed, except for the foundation. It waved its tail and leisurely returned to the Gu God Sect's mountain gate.
Along the way, he was still thinking about this matter and sneered from time to time, "Even in the ancient times, the Yu Yu Great World was dominated by orthodox Daoism. The Divine Path cultivators could only be regarded as heretical sects. Although Daoism is not prosperous now, the Eight Great Sects, the Alliance of Itinerant Cultivators, and other mid-level sects in the West Wilderness all forbid Divine Path cultivators to preach. This guy must be so, that's why he targeted those tribes in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. Damn, he obviously doesn't take me seriously! "
Although the cultivators of the Gu God Sect looked strange and terrifying, in fact, the way they formed their Primordial Spirits was also orthodox Daoism, which was inherited from the Dao of Sword Cultivation. The Sword Cultivation was' the life of a flying sword ', while the Gu God Sect was' the life of a Natal Venomous Insect '. They also had to go through the seven steps of Body Forging, Qi Nourishing, Astral Projection, Qi Guiding, Divine Soul, Gold Core, and Yin Spirit. To form their Primordial Spirits, they also had to cut through the whims, so Bai Wuzi often called himself an orthodox Daoist.
Of course, compared to the orthodox Daoism like Penglai, the Gu God Sect was slightly different. Most of their cultivation was based on their Natal Venomous Insect, so choosing their Natal Venomous Insect was the most important thing in their cultivation. If they could choose a good ancient or even primordial species, their future path of cultivation would be much easier. For example, Bai Wuzi's Natal Venomous Insect, the Hidden Wings Centipede, was an extraordinary ancient species.
Moreover, with the feedback from their Natal Venomous Insect, it was easier for them to form their Gold Core and cut through the whims to form their Primordial Spirits than Penglai.
Of course, there were advantages and disadvantages. The Venomous Insect grew slower than humans, so their cultivation progress was also slower. There were often cultivators who had reached the end of their lifespan before their Natal Venomous Insect returned. In addition, due to the Venomous Insect's natural fear of thunder, it was much more difficult for them to pass the Heavenly Tribulation. Therefore, although the Gu God Sect had a long history, its Primordial Spirit Perfected Masters often died during the Heavenly Tribulation. Currently, Bai Wuzi was the only one.
This gigantic centipede was Bai Wuzi's Prime Gu, the Hidden Wing Centipede. His true form was delaying the Heavenly Tribulation in the mountain gate, so he could only send his Prime Gu out to deal with this matter. With a flap of its thousands of invisible wings, it turned into a silent gust of wind and arrived outside the mountain gate in a flash.
Looking at the formation set up in the sect to delay the Heavenly Tribulation, the huge Hidden Wing Centipede heaved a long sigh. "When I think of Xi Huang, I think of Old Man Liu Yun. He is really amazing. When I saw him a hundred years ago, he was still delaying the Heavenly Tribulation like me. I didn't expect that in less than a hundred years, he has already become a first-tribulation Yang Spirit Perfected Master. But I can't learn from him. Didn't Zhu Yanzi of the Heavenly Fire Sect fall under the Heavenly Tribulation? Sigh, I won't take the initiative to attract the Heavenly Tribulation until this Hidden Wing Centipede grows to the size of ten thousand pairs of wings. "
With a sigh, the huge centipede slowly became smaller and entered the formation of the sect.
…
Shen Du in the Central Region.
"State Preceptor, the rebels of the Deep Cave Sect have set up camp a hundred miles away from the city and are ready to attack." A military general in heavy armor was saluting a middle-aged Taoist in black clothes.
The State Preceptor of the Da 'an Dynasty, Xu Chengzhou, had a lean face and a few strands of long black beard on his chin. He had a sage-like demeanor and a silver-white horsetail whisk rested on his left elbow. He nodded and replied, "I understand. Go to the city tower and prepare the altar. I will go and perform the ritual later to wipe out all the rebels."
This military general was very superstitious about the State Preceptor. After listening to Xu Chengzhou's instructions, he responded respectfully and quickly walked to the city tower.
When the military general disappeared in front of him, Xu Chengzhou sighed secretly. Because the Gui Zhen Sect was suppressed by the Taoist priests, the Da 'an Dynasty had been suffering for a long time and its military equipment was lax. Even in the Gui Zhen Sect, it was getting worse with each generation. When it came to his generation, he was the only one who could break through to the Leaving Aperture Stage.
If the world was like before, this would not be a big deal. He would be able to suppress the rebels and slowly nurture a few good seedlings. He would strive to have two or three of them break through to the Leaving Aperture Stage.
Who knew that in less than ten months after the Deep Cave Sect appeared in front of the court, the Da 'an Dynasty was already on the verge of collapse. From the edge of the Ten Thousand Mountains in the south, the Da' an Dynasty was already on the verge of collapse. It was said that in the army of the Deep Cave Sect, there were dozens of Leaving Aperture Stage experts. Even the Pudu Bodhisattva Temple, which usually followed the rules and had many Leaving Aperture Stage guards, was defeated. Currently, they had retreated to the area of Yangzhou where they originated.
The road ahead was difficult and dangerous, but Xu Chengzhou had no way out. If he was one of those brothers and uncles who were not proficient in Dao and were afraid of death, he would definitely take his belongings and go far away. With his cultivation, he could go anywhere in the world. However, Xu Chengzhou understood that he was the Xu Family and the last support of the Da 'an Dynasty. If he left, the Xu Family would immediately fall apart. How could he face the ancestors of the Xu Family and the three founders of the Gui Zhen Sect?
"State Preceptor, the altar is ready." The general quickly returned.
Xu Chengzhou took a deep breath and nodded. Without saying anything, he took steady steps and slowly walked towards the tower.
His dozens of servants and disciples of the Gui Zhen Sect were a distance away from him. However, a few of them were whispering to each other.
"Brother Li, do you think we will win this battle?" An ordinary looking servant asked a disciple of the Gui Zhen Sect.
The disciple with the surname Li sneered, "How can we win? There are dozens of people who have the same cultivation as the Temple Master! Although the Temple Master is the Grand Master, he does not have three heads and six arms. How can he block them! "
Another disciple said in bewilderment, "Didn't they say that it was a story made up by the defeated soldiers earlier? They don't have any Dao techniques. "
"Humph, fabricated? Look at how many disciples of the Xu Family are here? Other than the Grand Master, none of them are here! " The disciple with the surname Li said angrily. However, in his half-closed eyes, there was a faintly discernible golden flame dancing.
After hearing the words of the disciple with the surname Li, the faces of the servants and disciples turned pale. They thought that following the Grand Master would be a good job. They did not expect that they were here to die. After walking quietly for a while, they asked quietly, "Then what should we do?"
The disciple with the surname Li sneered again, "Our surname is not Xu. Why should we work for the Xu Family? Usually, the disciples of the Xu Family are all arrogant and do not work hard in their cultivation. Instead, they want to occupy the resources. Humph, the Gui Zhen Sect should just change its name to the Xu Family! "
These words made the disciples sympathize with them. They were obviously a sect of cultivators, but in reality, they were a family of cultivators. What could they do to win the loyalty of these disciples who did not have the surname Xu?
"Brother Li, then let's find a chance to leave!" Thinking of all the depressing times in the past, the disciples no longer had the desire to serve the Da 'an Dynasty.
The disciple with the surname Li revealed a ferocious smile, "Why should we leave? Why don't we fight for glory and wealth? The Sect of the Cave Abyss has always been generous to those who surrendered. "
The servants and disciples quietened down. It was as if they could hear their own heartbeats. After a long time, when they were about to reach the city tower, they whispered, "We will follow the arrangements of Brother Li."
…
Xu Chengzhou stood behind the altar and looked at the densely packed army outside the city tower. There were more than ten thousand of them, and they were endless! Among the soldiers, there were twenty to thirty eye-catching figures in golden armor. They were the divine soldiers of the Sect of the Cave Abyss! All of them had the cultivation of the Leaving Aperture Stage!
After calming himself down, Xu Chengzhou was already prepared to succeed or die trying. Just as he was about to activate the altar, he suddenly felt the fluctuation of a minor divine ability behind him. Caught off guard, he was hit by the small golden thorn on his back.
However, Xu Chengzhou was not a reckless person. Before he went up the altar, he had already activated an Earth Absorption Armor Talisman. Hence, a layer of yellow soil appeared on his body, blocking the small golden thorn.
When he was about to activate the talisman and execute his minor divine ability to kill the person behind him, he saw a few fireballs, ice blades, and green lightning coming towards him.
"How could this be?" Xu Chengzhou fell down slowly. He murmured in disbelief. Why did all the servants and disciples betray him?
Before he died, Xu Chengzhou activated the many talismans that the Sect of Gui Zhen had collected over the generations. The lights on the city tower shone brightly, and everyone perished together.
…
Luo Jing City, in the palace.
"What, Shen 'du City has been breached?!" Xu Chenggao, who was wearing a bright yellow imperial robe, took a few steps back and almost lost his balance.
The little eunuch was terrified. "Your Majesty, Shen 'du City has indeed been breached. The army of the Sect of the Cave Abyss is heading towards Luo Jing."
Xu Chenggao's face turned pale. He took two steps forward and grabbed the little eunuch's collar. "Where's the Grand Master? Where's the Grand Master?! "
"The Grand Master, the Grand Master was killed by the traitors. He has already died for the country." The little eunuch was terrified.
"Traitors?! When did I mistreat them? Why did they betray the Da An Dynasty? "Xu Chenggao's face turned green. He seemed extremely angry." I want to kill them! Summon all the Princes, ministers, and generals. I want to send an army to annihilate the Sect of the Cave Abyss! "
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Princes have already run away. The ministers and generals have already opened the city gates. They are ready to surrender to the Sect of the Cave Abyss!" The little eunuch cried.
Xu Chenggao took a few steps back and sat on the ground. He then laughed hysterically. It was mournful and sad.
Hearing his laughter, a beautiful lady in a queen's robe came out from the back of the palace. She knelt beside him and said, "Your Majesty, since it has come to this, let's die for the country. The ministers and generals can surrender, but we can't."
Xu Chenggao was silent for a while. He stood up abruptly and walked out of the palace while swaying.
"Your Majesty, where are you going?" The Empress chased after him and pulled him back.
Xu Chenggao smiled miserably. "Ever since I inherited the throne, I have been diligent and diligent. There have been no natural disasters or civil disasters. I didn't expect to fall into such a situation. I have let my ancestors down. However, I am not willing to accept this. I am not convinced! I am going to the Hall of the Patriarchs of the Temple of Returning Nature to ask the Patriarchs to show themselves and suppress all the demons who brought disaster to the country! "
"But Your Majesty, although there are rumors that the Patriarchs have become a True Immortal and often roam the mortal world, the Patriarchs have never shown themselves in the past two hundred years. Therefore, no one believes in this rumor for the past hundred years. Why do we have to pin our hopes on this? "The Empress seemed to have given up.
Xu Chenggao stumbled out of the palace and said, "It is already a dead end. Why not give it a try!"
