Mysterious mirror hanging high
Chapter 194 Meeting in the Main Hall
At this time, Master Wanshi had already left, and many cultivators used the formation flags to follow him by escaping into the earth. The members of the [Guishui] team had a slower earth escaping speed, so naturally they did not dare to waste time and followed the crowd to the mountain gate.
When passing by a mountain, they saw magic weapons scattered all over the ground and a lot of bloodstains on the stone walls of the mountain. It was obvious that a great battle had just taken place here. Perhaps the demon monks were defeated, so a few Houtu Sect disciples were left here to clean up the battlefield.
Several Houtu Sect disciples were responsible for collecting the broken and lost magical instruments, while several other disciples were holding a black banner with a sinister aura, gathering the remaining souls on the peak.
What is a bit strange is that for some reason there is no body of the monk here. I wonder if it was collected first.
"Seniors, why are those Houtu Sect disciples using the magic soul flags to gather the remaining souls here?" Guan Zhen, the useless young master who had devoted himself to practicing sword in the aristocratic family, had never seen such a scene before and was stunned.
Gu Dacheng glanced at it and said casually, "It's nothing unusual. The battlefield of immortal cultivation is not like an ordinary battle. How can the victor have the time to calmly kill the soul? Often, a large number of residual souls are left on the battlefield. If these residual souls are ignored, some of them may have the opportunity to reincarnate. But if they are unlucky, they may drift to the side of the demon cultivators and be captured by their soul flags, becoming useless to the enemy."
"Why don't we take the initiative and collect them first?"
"But my Yunchuan Zhengdao sect has no use for these residual souls. What should we do with them after collecting them? Should we hold a ritual to help them reincarnate, or simply take them back and destroy them?" Guan Zhen asked.
This time, Gu Dacheng did not speak. He shook the [Jitu Earth Escape Array Flag] in his hand, drilled into the rocks, and continued to escape towards the gate of Houtu Sect.
After crossing several mountain ranges, they finally arrived at the core area of the [Jitu Yiqi Locking Sky Array]. Even with the formation flags, they could not escape here. So they simply put away the formation flags and walked towards the most majestic sacred mountain not far away.
That is the mountain gate of Houtu Sect, named [Wofu Mountain]. It is said that the founder of Houtu Sect, a genuine Yuanying Zhenjun, brought this place from overseas with his powerful mountain-moving magical power to cultivate the spiritual energy of this place and establish the Taoist tradition.
Unfortunately, after the death of the founder, the Houtu Sect never produced another True Lord. As time passed, it gradually lost its foundation and eventually became a Jindan force.
In fact, the four major sects in Yunchuan Territory today can be traced back thousands of years. No matter whether the founder of the sect is a True Lord or is related to another True Lord, they can all have some relationship with the Yuanying True Lord. Otherwise, they would not have stood for thousands of years.
This actually indirectly proves the difficulty of breaking the elixir and forming a Nascent Soul. It is not an easy task for a Nascent Soul force with only one True Lord to ensure the continuous generation of Nascent Soul cultivators. Many factors are indispensable, including the talent of the younger generation, opportunities, the force's own training investment, and the early protection of the teachers.
Only a powerful force with multiple True Lords has the confidence to cultivate Nascent Soul cultivators in a stable manner.
----
The core formation of the Houtu Sect's mountain gate had further strengthened its no-fly restriction and magnetic force, not only limiting the height, but also greatly slowing down the speed of the ground escape light. The [Guishui] team also spent a lot of effort to reach the mountain gate, and saw that the new monks who came to support were standing in the mountain gate square area, waiting for orders.
In the main reception hall behind the mountain gate square, because the door was open, it was not difficult for Jing Yu to see that there were several great masters in the late Jindan stage sitting in the main hall!
Yuehua Zhenren of Xiaoyao League was among them.
Below True Man Yuehua is Great True Man Qiu Wanling of the Bishui Sect.
Sitting opposite was Lei Zi from Xiao Lei Temple, and a beautiful woman wearing a red feather on her head and a bright red cloak. She must be the Great Master Hong Fu who escaped with the surviving disciples after the Huanhuo Sect was breached.
True Man Huang Xu of Huangfeng Valley sat in the guest seat far away from the main seat. Below him were a dozen True Men in the early and middle stages of the Golden Core stage. Jing Yu recognized several of them; they were all ancestors of some Golden Core families in the Yunchuan Region.
However, the person sitting in the main seat at this time was not Houtu Sect’s only late Jindan cultivator [Master Banshan], but the second-in-command of Houtu Sect, [Master Qingfu] who was in the middle Jindan stage.
Unlike Master Banshan, who is nearing the end of his lifespan, Master Qingfu is only a little over 400 years old, which is the prime age for a Jindan cultivator. Although it is rumored that his elixir was only of mid-level quality when he formed it, he has a solid foundation. As long as he hone his cultivation, he still has hope of advancing to the late Jindan stage. However, it will not happen overnight, and it is obviously too late before Master Banshan dies.
This Qingfu Zhenren was quite different from the usual burly and robust appearance of the Houtu Sect cultivators. He wore a green square scarf on his head and had several long wisps of beard under his chin, looking like a refined scholar.
It can be said that most of the top Jindan forces in the Yunchuan Region have come to the main hall of the Houtu Sect, and they really seem to be determined to defend the Houtu Sect to the death.
Because a soundproofing array was set up in the main hall, ordinary cultivators had no idea what the real people were saying. However, Jing Yuxuan's mirror was magical and could help them eavesdrop on it.
However, Lei Zhizi from Xiao Lei Temple stood up from his seat first and started to ask:
"Fellow Daoist Qingfu, the first wave of reinforcements from various forces in the Yunchuan Territory has arrived. Why hasn't Senior Banshan come to take charge of the situation?"
The handsome middle-aged scholar sitting in the main seat spoke slowly and gently:
"Fellow Daoist Lei Zhizi, please be patient. My master is currently overseeing the formation and cannot be away for the time being. If you rashly leave the core of the formation and allow the Tiannan Demon Cultivator to take advantage of the opportunity, that would be disastrous."
"You must know that this [Jitu Yiqi Locking Sky Formation] is a Nascent Soul Formation left by the founder of our Houtu Sect. Although many parts have been lost and damaged over the thousands of years, making its power somewhat impaired, it is still incomparable to ordinary Golden Core Formations."
"Only those with high cultivation who have studied the techniques and secrets of the Houtu sect can preside over the formation. Apart from Master Banshan, who else can take on this role?"
At this time, the mountains within hundreds of miles around Houtu Sect were shrouded by this formation. It was indeed very magical. If there was no one to preside over it, it would definitely not be possible to achieve such a level. The immortals in the main hall did not doubt it, but they still had doubts about the status of the Moving Mountain Immortal.
After all, a cultivator from an aristocratic family in the early stage of the Golden Core couldn't hold his temper anymore and stood up to ask:
"What's the current situation of Senior Banshan?"
True Man Qingfu looked calm and composed, and said with a leisurely smile:
"Master has recently taken a lot of longevity pills and used several secret longevity techniques. He has at least another thirty years to live. Fellow Taoists, please rest assured. No matter how rampant the Tiannan demon cultivators are, they are only two Nascent Soul forces. How can they waste another thirty years in my Yunchuan Region!"
