Beichen Sword Sect's Headmaster's Secret Records

Chapter 282 Old Xuanmen

As soon as Tiedan entered the customs, he was surrounded by many old men from the Xuanmen sect.

Groups and teams surrounded him and stared at him from afar, from the sky, from the eaves, and from the battlements.

They looked and calculated and marveled at it, just like monkeys in the zoo gathering around to watch people.

After all, have you ever seen a disciple of the Yuanying realm who can kill tens of thousands of demons with just a wave of his hand? Is it common? Is it normal? Then you have to see it!

However, although everyone can see Tiedan's talent and personal fighting ability, no one has come to poach him.

The old Xuanmen follows the rules.

As soon as one sees the Nine-Light Swords circling around Tiedan, anyone with an eye can tell that he is a direct disciple of the Yaoguang lineage of the Sword Sect.

He hasn't even entered the door yet, but he's already been passed on this secret sword. It's really like they're so close to him. Who else can come up with a more core inheritance to recruit him?
So people shouldn’t understand it too clearly.

This karma has not been resolved yet, and we can’t leave the Sword Sect at all. Let’s go.

Of course, Tiedan was also watching them. Every time he was locked onto by the Yuanshen, he would stare back, and was equally amazed for a moment.

Xuanmen, so strong.

There are twenty-eight Nascent Soul cultivators in Canghai Pass now, including Taoist Mingzhen.

Moreover, they are all old fellows like He Lin Weng, who are at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage and stuck on the threshold of the Spiritual Transformation stage. They have a pure aura of Taoism, profound cultivation, and keep it hidden.

In other words, they are all old Xuanmen who came to compete for the materials of the demon god and prepare for the breakthrough to the godhood.

Well, don’t underestimate them because they are only at the Nascent Soul stage. Generally speaking, those who have practiced for more than a thousand years can be called old Xuanmen.

That is to say, there are more than two hundred old Xuanmen in the entire Nine Sides now, and they are all able to transform into gods at any time, with peak combat power and the most capable fighters.

Yes, some people do not become gods because they cannot, and some people do not become gods because they do not want to.

Do you think you really need that little treasure? If you are really in a hurry, you can't borrow it from the Immortal Palace, so you can just pick it up!

To put it bluntly, this is still to avoid the three death gates.

As far as the correct method of cultivation is concerned, in order to avoid the alternating occurrence of thunder disasters and life-threatening disasters, one should of course prepare for the transformation into a spirit as soon as possible after the formation of the infant, and then move forward rapidly all the way, striving to attain enlightenment within a thousand years.

But the problem is that a Taoist who can attain enlightenment within a thousand years is rare.

At least in this thousand-year catastrophe, the only person who could have such a genius and amazing talent is perhaps the head of Yuntai, the best in the world, Lingxuzi.

Therefore, other ordinary Xuanmen disciples would settle for the second best and delay, suppress and put their cultivation on hold first.

After all, the calamity of death targets the "body", and its intensity directly depends on material properties such as vitality and combat power.

Therefore, the difficulty of the fatal calamity in the Nascent Soul Realm is much less than that in the Spirit Transformation Realm.

In this way, in order to survive the first catastrophe of death in the Nascent Soul stage, one must at least survive three times of being struck by lightning without becoming a god. Only after passing the catastrophe of death can one be considered to have broken through the first barrier of death.

But the first three thunders are easy to withstand, and can even be used to temper the body and practice skills, which is beneficial to the body and mind.

But the mines that follow will become more and more difficult, bigger and more painful, and you may be injured, exploded, disabled, or even killed.

So much so that when Tiedan was 2,500 years old, he experienced the sixth thunder tribulation personally. It was so cruel that even a powerful god like Weiji failed the test, was annihilated on the spot, and turned into ashes.

Therefore, in order to avoid being struck by heavenly thunder, he had to gain enlightenment before the second death barrier and escape the punishment mechanism of being struck by thunder.

In this way, there is a group of older Xuanmen Qi cultivators ranging from 1,200 to 2,500 years old who first suppress the realm, withstand three thunders in the Nascent Soul stage, die, and then quickly break through to the Spiritual Transformation stage, make contributions, become grandmasters, seize the Heavenly Book, and catch up with the progress.

It is called Lao Xuanmen.

What? What do you call someone over 2,500 years old?
What's the name of an old immortal?

Those who are old but still alive are thieves. They hide in the mountains all day long to avoid disasters and rob people. They are of no use at all. They eat up all the offerings from the sect and become a burden to the sect. There are quite a few such people in the Xuanmen.

"Taiwanese friend, please have some tea."

As the local guardian and host, Taoist Mingzhen also invited Tiedan to come in and take a seat. He drank three cups of tea in a row before he could recover.

"Speaking of which... the Yuntai Competition will be held at the end of this year. Master Tie is planning to return to Jiuyin Mountain and pass on the sword to his sect?"

After all, it is an old sect with thousands of years of history. If you calm down, you can naturally figure it out.

This Master Tie was probably an outer disciple sent by the Sword Sect to fight against the demons. Although it was said that there were heavy casualties and almost complete annihilation, this guy seemed to have survived the disaster and had some fortuitous encounter with an immortal in the north, which enabled him to break through through training, inherit the true teachings of the Yaoguang Sword, and mastered the magical power.

After all, this is the world of immortals, and this kind of routine, like the protagonist of a novel or script, is basically within the scope of everyone's understanding, and there is nothing un-metaphysical about it. Anyway, it's just another Taoist who defies the heavens.

"That's right. I will naturally return to the Sword Sect to participate in the competition and officially become a member. However, according to the rules of the Sword Sect, I still lack some merits. I don't know what tasks the seniors have asked me to do. Please enlighten me."

Tiedan was not vague and asked directly for the task.

With Uchiyama's dirty mind, if he fails to kill him, he might actually put on an air of pretense and use the excuse that his contribution to Xuanmen is not enough to prevent him from participating in the competition.

Fortunately, there is still more than half a year before the Yuntai Competition, so there is still time to make money.

What's more, all his equipment was destroyed by thunder, and now Tiedan only has a wine gourd and he doesn't even have a sword. He can only kill the demon with his bare hands.

Alas, I am too weak and urgently need to be strengthened.

However, Taoist Mingzhen directly served tea.
"No."

Tiedan: “…”

Seeing Tiedan's sullen face, in order to avoid pushing him to the point of turning into a ball, Taoist Mingzhen quickly explained,

"Fellow Daoist, you have killed so many demons. I don't think they will come to attack in the short term. In fact, looking at the Nine Borders, the first round of attacks by the demons were mostly blocked by my Xuanmen disciples.

Now they will probably take advantage of the spring snow melting to digest the livestock and creatures of Kan Country and accumulate strength for evolution. No matter how you calculate it, they will have to wait until the end of the year, when the weather is cold, before preparing for the second wave of invasion. "

Tiedan had no choice but to nod.
"Okay, then I'll go kill the demon myself. I'll be paid one dollar for each one I kill, right?"

Taoist Mingzhen thought about it and felt that it was a bit too much to kill the demon for one dollar. It was simply disrespectful to our combat power rating, so he suggested,

"Don't be impatient, fellow Taoist. It's rude not to return the favor. We have defeated the demons and dampened their spirits. It's time for a counterattack. But we in Xuanmen must abide by the rules.

Why don't you wait for me to report to the Yuntai, ask for merit for you, and apply for a counterattack. Then gather the elite troops inside the pass, rush out together, and kill and harvest a wave of enemies. "

In fact, Tiedan wanted to go alone as he didn't need these people to share the work. But when he thought about it, he had seen quite a lot of demons before, and he had just made a breakthrough and was still too weak. He might fail, so he nodded to be safe.

Taoist Mingzhen was afraid that he would not listen to his advice and would do something strange again, so he suggested,
"Also, I took a quick look at what you got this time. Most of them are demons that have just formed their elixirs. They are of low quality. For some reason, their blood and essence have been severely damaged. The quality is not very good. They are useless for refining elixirs or tools. Probably there is nothing you want. It's a pity that they are so rotten. How about you contribute the materials of the demons you killed this time to strengthen the defense, make materials for sacrificial formations, and store meat? I can exchange my Yuanfu Palace formation diagram with you. If you can help me repair the formation, I will apply for extra reward money for you to forge soldiers. How about that?"

They were all garbage anyway, so Tiedan had no objection and nodded in agreement.

After all, the materials that are not at the Spiritual Transformation stage now can't even block a casual sword attack from him. They are completely useless and he really doesn't look down on them.

Taoist Mingzhen was delighted. He thought that Master Tie was good at fighting and was also easy to talk to. He just said he didn't want so many materials. It was a blessing for the Sword Sect to have such a disciple. But he didn't know if Master Tie had found a partner. How many partners did he have? Did he want to find more partners?

But Tiedan was too lazy to talk to him, so he just said goodbye and went out to repair the magic circle.

The formation diagram given by Taoist Mingzhen is the defense diagram of Canghai Pass. As the garrison commander of Canghai Pass, he has already arranged the various places in the city into the Three Maoshan formations, and placed magic weapons and talismans in each formation to consolidate it. As long as the demons take a wrong step, the formation restrictions will be activated and they will be beaten to ashes by the thunder and fire. At the same time, he trained the guards of the vassal state to fight in and out of the formation, using the advantages of the formation to cover the weak and defeat the strong, and using the city defense organs to mince meat with the demons.

What Tiedan needs to do is to read the formation diagram carefully, check the formation in various places, replace the damaged runes, fill the sacrifice with demon materials, and repair the material runes damaged in the previous battle.

Tiedan had never done this kind of basic homework for Xuanmen disciples, and it felt quite fresh. He actually enjoyed it and did it seriously. He even found a few flaws and brought them to the Taoist for discussion and made suggestions for improvement, which made the Taoist Mingzhen speechless.

I secretly asked you to repair the defense and mark out the method to break the formation. What do you want to do? If you hadn't just killed all the attackers, I would have thought you were a spy!
So he just secretly noted down the omissions in his sect's formation and told him that this was a military secret and must not be leaked.

After three days of delay, the defenses were finally secured and no more demons came to attack. At the same time, the imperial edict from Yuntai Peak also arrived.

Taoist Mingzhen kept his word and applied for three soldiers-repelling coins for Tiedan on the grounds of exorcising demons, defending the Way, contributing resources, and repairing the city defense. He also won the approval of the chiefs, who approved the counterattack plan proposed by Taoist Mingzhen.

Now the Yuntai decree has come, ordering the disciples of various sects who are ordered to guard Canghai Pass to join this battle, obey the orders of the guarding immortal, and provide necessary support.

Well, Xuanmen is quite troublesome. Although they are very powerful when combined together, they are actually just a loose alliance. People only get together occasionally to discuss academic issues.

The disciples of each sect only obey the orders of their own sect leader, and some even don't care about the orders of their own sect leader...

So although there are many Xuanmen guarding Canghai Pass, most of them are just sitting there. As long as the demons do not break through the formation, they will not move even if you talk them to death.

Therefore, as Taoist Mingzhen said, if you want to do anything in Xuanmen, you have to follow the rules agreed upon by everyone. Otherwise, everyone will just do their own thing and talk to themselves, and no one will listen to your rules.

Now that we have received the order from Yuntai, coming out to counterattack is the order of the nine major sects. The opinions of the leaders of each faction can finally convince some people to contribute.

What Tiedan didn't expect was that in addition to the reward from Xuanmen, the Immortal Palace also issued an order to promote him...

Well, it seems that the Immortal Palace and Xuanmen are now joining forces to deal with the demons. The Three Palaces have also sent envoys to contact at Yuntai Peak, and the battle reports from various places can be consulted. In this way, the guards scattered in the nine borders can be reorganized to work together to eliminate the demons and fight side by side.

Then, when they saw the victory report from Canghai Pass, they found out, eh? This Tiedan had once made contributions in exterminating demons in Ye City, and was a cloud cavalry officer of our Fairy Palace! Now that he has made new contributions, isn’t that a good example? This shows that our Fairy Palace is not completely defenseless!

So Sanyuan gave a lot of commendations and awards to him, and also gave Tiedan a hand by promoting him to Flying Cavalry Captain, rewarding him with 100,000 gold and 500 pieces of silk.

The Immortal Palace actually promoted him, and Sword Sect Master Benshan didn't even say anything. This is incredible...

Forget it, it’s expected that Benshan would pretend to be dead. Anyway, let’s start preparing for a counterattack!

So the pre-war meetings began.

“Reporting to all the masters, our Eagle Cavalry Sentinels have found out that the demon’s lair is on Shenlong Island, a hundred miles northeast.

The Shenlong Island was formed from the remains of the ancient dragon in the fairy palace. It was used to suppress the dragon veins on the border between Kang and Gen. There was a demon-sealing altar on it. At the end of each month when the tide receded, there was a land route that could be used for travel.

Now the demon gods and monsters are entrenched on the island, sucking the blood and marrow of the real dragons, growing stronger day by day, and they have long been plotting this."

After listening to the report from the captain of the vassal army, all the immortals lowered their heads and made calculations.

Tiedan said directly,
"I go."

Everyone looked up at him, then lowered their heads to calculate...

Taoist Mingzhen was not surprised and handed over a yellow talisman.
"I am here to guard Canghai Pass, beware of sneak attacks from demons. If the situation changes, Captain Ma will sacrifice his life for the country. This talisman will burn, and you can return quickly."

Tiedan took the yellow talisman and nodded.

"A brave man is righteous."

"We will guard the pass and protect the land, no matter what."

Captain Ma nodded without saying much.

Taoist Mingzhen turned his head and looked to the other side.
"Are any of you going with me?"

“Since Yuntai has given the order, we must obey and do our best. Although Shenlong Island is dangerous, Canghai Pass cannot be lost.

How to arrange it, just give your instructions."

Seeing that no one from the Xuan Sect objected, Taoist Mingzhen also made some calculations and arrangements, saying that to guard Canghai Pass now, twelve people must be left behind to form the twelve zodiac signs, ahem, to form the four symbols and eight trigrams to guard the formation, and people must be left outside the pass to be mobile, not only as a reserve team, but also responsible for patrolling Jieshi Mountain to prevent demons from making detours and attacking, and to provide support on both sides when necessary. The remaining people will form a team to participate in the surprise attack and counterattack, and fight at Shenlong Island.

All the Xuanmen wanted to see how capable Tiedan was, so they decided to draw lots. In the last round of drawing lots, twelve people were drawn to enter the battle, eight stayed behind, and eight followed Tiedan into battle!

Iron Egg,

"Okay! Let's go!"

"Wait a minute!"

Taoist Mingzhen quickly grabbed him.
"Fellow Daoist, are you going just like that? Aren't you from the Sword Sect? Where's your sword?"

Tiedan just stared at him, what a joke...

"Can't it be blown up by thunder?"

Then someone in the crowd threw a rusty iron sword.

"If you're hesitating, use this one."

Tiedan casually picked up the sword, took it, and washed it with sword energy.

Immediately, a fierce light shone brightly, illuminating the entire room, and everyone looked at him sideways.

The sword was three feet and six inches long. It could cut jade like mud, break iron into pieces, and cut hair with a single blow. It left no trace of blood. At night, a light several feet long could be seen, illuminating countless stars in the sky.

The inscription in small seal script reads, Beichen.

Tiedan just looked at that person silently, "..."

The man hurriedly said, "I picked it up..."

Mad, Xuanmen...
