Stars fall and locust trees grow

Most of the people who practice Taoism have well-proportioned bodies and pay great attention to their image.

Although there were some people who did not like fasting and became obese, this was the first time Li Chi had seen someone whose body was as round as a gourd.

He stood quietly with his arms folded, watching the khaki fat man stumble all the way to him, then fall heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust. The worry that he had just suppressed in his heart unconsciously emerged again.

Damn, is this guy reliable?

However, he quickly suppressed his worry.

After all, the situation is urgent at the moment, so let's just make do with what we have...

As for the fat guy, he looks to be only about 30 years old, with an ordinary face, curved eyebrows and smiling eyes. He is really the kind of guy that can be seen everywhere.

If it weren't for its size advantage, it would have been hard to tell it apart in the crowd.

Although the fat man was not very good at flying, he was a very enthusiastic person.

He put away the wooden flying sword at his feet, which looked inconspicuous but was actually very heavy and was completely ignored by Li Chi. Then he put his big face in front of Li Chi and looked him up and down. Finally, he fixed his gaze on the half-cut green radish on his chest.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk! This friend is dressed simply and has plenty of food. Could it be that he has nothing better to do and has come to Feitian Peak for a picnic?"

I'm swimming your sister!

Seeing this fat man blatantly teasing him, Li Chi rolled his eyes in his heart.

If I didn't need anything from him at this moment, I would have jumped up, pointed at his nose and called him a bullshit.

He cursed in his heart, and then put on a pretentious look of being aggrieved.

"Hey! I went out this time with the intention of finding a place to practice and learn skills, but I accidentally bumped into a disciple of a fairy sect on the way, and he bullied me and threw me to this desolate mountain."

Hearing this, the fat man stroked his chin and said, "Six days from now, the Grand Ceremony of the Changsheng Palace, the largest sect here, will be held. Therefore, there are indeed more disciples from the sect going to Shuozhou recently."

"Shuozhou? Changsheng Palace? Ascension Ceremony?"

Li Chi quickly grasped a few key words.

It seems that while he was lying dead, something big might have happened in the spiritual realm.

As a qualified cultivator, in daily practice, one must not only learn various practical tactics, but also have a basic understanding of the development history of cultivation in the entire spiritual realm.

However, Li Chi cannot be considered a qualified cultivator, because the knowledge about the history of the spiritual realm in his head is probably only as big as that of a mosquito.

almost negligible.

When the fat man saw Li Chi's confused but hungry and humble look, he immediately felt that the boy was teachable, so he simply dragged him to sit on the ground and began to teach him and answer his questions.

The Spirit Realm has four seas and six continents, and the four seas and six continents are divided into 178 states. Among them, there are fewer sects in the four seas due to environmental limitations, so most of the sects are concentrated on the six continents.

Thousands of years ago, in order to compete for territory and resources, battles often broke out between two or even multiple sects, both large and small, causing unrest in the entire spiritual realm and almost stagnating the level of cultivation.

Therefore, for the sake of peace in the Spirit Realm and the development of each sect, some old and powerful sects with a long history began to band together for warmth. They first organized the Spirit Realm Immortal Sect Alliance and issued restrictive regulations for sects throughout the region. At the same time, they jointly suppressed the sects that refused to sign the regulations. This is how the entire Spirit Realm gradually developed into its current splendor.

Currently, the sect forces in the Spirit Realm are divided into four levels.

First-level sects: Twenty-nine Mountains, Bright Moon, and Buried Sea Boat;

Second level sects: Jiuyou Fengyu Pavilion, Tianlei Palace, Guiyan Tower, Feixing Valley;

Level 3 sects: Jinlu Sect, Danlin Pavilion, Tianxi Cave, Yehuo Sect, Dunyao Temple;

Level 4 sects: Langli Academy, Qingfengxuan, Shanling Pavilion, Yuefeng Villa, and Juyun Sect.

"Except for the above-mentioned 17 well-known and top four high-level sects, the remaining sects, regardless of how long they have been established or the number of disciples within them, are all called low-level sects."

"Of course, the ranking of sects is not eternal. It has to be rearranged every hundred years. In the past few hundred years, except for the three first-level sects whose rankings are relatively stable, the other levels basically change every term. However, this kind of change usually only occurs between the existing second-level and fourth-level sects, unless..."

"Unless what?"

"Unless one of the sects undergoes a major change and is eliminated from its original level by the alliance, a new sect can be selected from the many low-level sects to fill the position."

"What level of sect has the Changsheng Palace been upgraded to?"

"Level 4 sect."

Without waiting for Li Chi to ask further questions, the fat man continued, "Since the fall of the Juyun Sect in Jiangzhou, those low-level sects have been fighting for this spot. Now that the dust has finally settled, the Changsheng Palace will naturally celebrate in a big way."

"Ah ha?! Are you saying that the Juyun Sect... was destroyed?!"

The fat man's words were like a bolt of thunder, striking Li Chi directly on the forehead.

Ahhhhh!

That is a level four sect with a supreme elder at the level of True Transformation!

It can be destroyed just like that? !

Which immortal master is so powerful? !

Li Chi tried his best to control his abnormal desire to laugh wildly and pursed his lips, "When did it... destroy the sect?"

The fat man counted on his fingers for a while.

"To be precise, it should be thirty years ago."

Thirty years ago?

Has it been that long?

Then he has been dead for at least thirty years!

"On the surface, the Juyun Sect says that it recruits disciples regardless of status or relationship, and treats everyone equally. But what is the reality? Except for the disciples of the Li family's closest relatives, all other disciples, including those of the Li family's side branches, are all experimental subjects for forbidden techniques."

"You haven't seen the secret pool in the back mountain of the sect. It's filled with human bones..."

"Oh, that's right!" The fat man put his arm on Li Chi's shoulder and said mysteriously, "Do you know where the evil magic practiced by the Juyun Sect comes from?"

Li Chi shook his head.

He only vaguely knew that it was something called the Yin-Yang Wheel, but he had no idea what it was specifically.

"It's actually an umbrella." The fat man narrowed his eyes and pointed at his feet, "and it has some connection with the barren mountain we are in now."

Ouch?! That Yin-Yang wheel is actually an umbrella?!

Li Chi immediately became interested and pricked up his ears to listen to the other party's detailed story of Qifei Tianfeng and Tiandaozi.

"So..." He asked curiously, "What are the five holy weapons that flew out of the Heavenly Gate opened by Daozi that day? Which sects have them now?"

The fat man patiently replied, "Twenty-Nine Yue holds an ancient sword and a flying fan, Jiuyou Fengyu Pavilion holds a set of mechanism boxes, Langli Academy holds a wordless heavenly book, and Juyun Sect holds a green umbrella - Yin-Yang Wheel."

It turned out to be the case.

Li Chi understood it at this moment, but he was also a little confused.

Since it was a gate of ascension, how could it plunder the resources of the lower world and send out a sacred weapon with forbidden magic? There must be some unknown secret hidden in it.
