Destiny is ashes

Chapter 263 Chen Yinzi (13)

[No, Master, calm down.]

Ming Guangchen was speechless, but he also knew why his master Chen Yinzi was so anxious.

The Mingjing Sect now has one Chunyang and eight Manifested Saints, ranking first among the forty-nine sects in Beixuanjizhou.

Even if they come to the gate, some of them are in a period of decline with only one Chunyang, and can only rely on Lingxiao's foundation to guard the mountain gate. It is very delicate to face the Mingjing Sect at this time.

But that is a thing of the past era.

The current Chunyang Tianjun of the Mingjing Sect and the supreme elder Chengguang Patriarch are approaching their time of death. Now they have ninety years out of the next hundred years to practice in the fragments of the Heavenly Mirror.

Although being in the Haojing Cave Heaven can indeed delay aging, for Chunyang Tianjun, if they cannot actually influence this world and lead the sect forward, their fate will gradually decline.

Retreat will not cause their strength, which has already reached the state of 'immobility', to decline, but it will completely cut off their possibility of breakthrough and lead them to death step by step.

Among the eight peaks, only three are new bloods that have appeared in the last three hundred years. The other five peaks are all old people from the glorious era nearly eight hundred and thousand years ago, and they are all on the verge of death.

If they cannot train a few newcomers during the last glorious period, when all the strong men of the older generation have passed away and only three people at the initial and intermediate levels of the Manifestation of Saints are left, the Mingjing Sect will not only not be able to maintain its position in the top 20 of the many forces in Beixuan Jizhou, but will probably fall directly to the lower-middle level of the forty-nine middle gates!
At this point, the Mingjing Sect simply opened its doors to everyone, not letting go of any potential seeds.

Even if it was someone like An Jing, who might have a cult background, as long as his potential was good enough, they would not be averse to him at all.

But things are not that simple.

Ming Guangchen told Chen Yinzi about the relationship between An Jing and Xuan Mingjing, and the fact that they had shared the imperial blood.

"Hmm...it's actually related to the Imperial Dynasty?"

Although Chen Yinzi didn't know Jin Yuantian, he was very clear that his disciple had another trump card to rely on.

The two sides have had a tacit understanding for so many years, and the old man naturally knows that the relationship between his apprentice and King Jing is extraordinary: "Xuan Guangyun was young, but he has already reached a high level of sainthood, and is on par with me. In less than a hundred years, he will easily become pure Yang, but I didn't expect that he died in the hands of his own people."

"His daughter...we can't protect her."

Sighing, Chen Yinzi said honestly, "Even when I was at the peak of the Mingjing Sect, I only fought with an Eight Directions Town King. The Pure Yang of the Human Emperor Dynasty is several times more powerful than our Xiansheng. If we were discovered by them, I'm afraid Grand Master Chengguang would have to go and apologize."

[Yes, so I plan to send Mingjing to my friend on another continent]

Ming Guangchen said frankly: [She and Brother Guangyun are also close friends. If she hadn’t reminded me, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have been able to find Ming Jing.]

"You young people have your own karma."

Chen Yinzi didn't say much. He now understood Ming Guangchen's concerns: "We can't protect King Jing's daughter. But to sever the relationship and collect a seed of a God General of the Tianyi Demon Cult who is related to her... it does make sense."

"Well, it's risky, but you can still give it a try."

Thinking of this, Chen Yinzi stood up, and all the illusions of buildings on the top of Xiaoming Peak disappeared. The old Taoist had made up his mind: "I will report to the Grand Master and record his name in the register. But Xuan Jing... my disciple."

At this point, Chen Yinzi said in a serious tone: "You have to be careful too."

"Do you still remember your Uncle Biying's beloved disciple?"

[Junior Brother Su?] Ming Guangchen recalled for a moment, then nodded: [The martial arts madman who was knocked unconscious by me during the last sect competition... I don't remember his name, but he is indeed powerful. He just likes to kill people. He almost broke my life mirror, and I got a good beating from my uncle for that.]

【What's up with him? 】

"died."

Chen Yinzi said calmly, "Su Ran was like you, a seed of the manifestation of the triple divine treasure, and the hope for the future of our Mingjing Sect... But he died inexplicably in the extreme northern frost plain, at the hands of the Heavenly Demon." "The Heavenly Demon and the Netherworld Ghosts are fighting fiercely, so how could they have the time to cause chaos in the world? This is strange, but even if Biying begged Grand Master Chengguang to come out of retreat and use the Heavenly Mirror to scan, he could not find the cause and effect."

"It's like... I can't see 'that place' behind you."

Ming Guangchen was silent. He knew what his master meant.

Chen Yinzi accepted him as a drug slave of the True Demon Sect, raised him up from the dust, taught him how to be a good person, practice martial arts and deal with the world. He was both a teacher and a father. If possible, he did not want to hide "Jinyuantian" from him.

But Jin Yuantian's origin was beyond ordinary. Even Chunyang Tianjun could not see through it with the help of the fragments of Lingxiao Treasure Mirror. It was useless for him to say anything because Chen Yinzi could not remember it.

And now, Chen Yinzi's reminder is very important.

Junior Brother Su Ran, who is also a Seed of Manifestation, was assassinated by someone in an unknown way while carrying out a top-secret mission of the sect. This not only means that there is a traitor in the sect, but also means that this matter is likely related to the struggle within Jinyuantian...

As the future hope of the Mingjing Sect, the Jinyuantian Walker, he is indeed a thorn in the eyes of many middle-level and even upper-level sects, and a thorn in the flesh of other camps in the Jinyuantian Sect.

Especially Chen Li’s sect, the Xushen Mountain Taiming Sect, is the sect that controls the ghosts and gods in the underworld.

If it were them, it would probably not be difficult for them to control the appearance of several demons in one area.

I will.

Thinking of this, he bowed deeply to his master: [Disciple is in Kanming City, teaching An Jing the true secret method and the secret method of nourishing life, waiting for friends to come and take Ming Jing away, and not doing much else]

[When the matter is over, I will return to the mountains for retreat, try to manifest the Great Heaven, and share your worries with you, Master! ]

"Ah."

Chen Yinzi stroked his beard lightly: "Perhaps it is God's will. The research on the secret of 'changing fate and changing name' has been stuck in a bottleneck for a long time."

"Mirror means reflection. But the mirror of reflection is also a reflection of people. The reason why you can practice [My Self in the Mirror] is because you have grasped another self that is completely opposite to you, but has the same origin as you, and can be used for self-reflection, through 'changing fate and name'."

"Evil is me, good is me, Tao is me, and the devil is me. I am in front of the mirror, and I am in the mirror."

"The void is the mirror, the mirror is the void; I am in the void, the void has me."

"The world is also a mirror. I am already in the mirror. Why should I distinguish between emptiness and existence?"

Explaining the fundamental principles of this magical power of [Mirror Self], the old Taoist said softly: "This young man who has a divine destiny, comes from a demon sect, but hates evil, may be just like you... He may be able to promote the secret of 'changing destiny and changing name' to become a real [divine power of destiny] based on your foundation!"

[Master’s teaching is still the best] Ming Guangchen said sincerely.

"Let's go."

Shaking his head, Chen Yinzi smiled but still waved his hand, as if he was very disgusted and said: "You don't usually come to visit Master, and every time you show up, there are some troubles... Go away, go away, I still have to go to pay my respects to the ancestor."

[I will definitely bring gifts to visit Master next time.] Ming Guangchen’s reflection also disappeared with a smile.

"An Jing..."

After Mingguangchen left, Chenyinzi repeated the name and laughed, making a rather cold homophonic joke: "It is indeed a good name. Our Mingjing Sect is in turmoil, and we really need a 'person to stabilize the mirror'.

An Jing, who was the center of the topic, was now returning to the city.

But after returning to the city, he found that the government officials were waiting for him at the gate of the courtyard.
