It's really useless for the outer sect elders like them to argue here. No matter what the outcome of their discussion is, Uncle Su can overturn it with just one word.
What makes them most fearful is that Master Su is not from a cultivator family, but is an out-and-out casual cultivator. Moreover, he has never had a dual cultivator since his cultivation, so he has no descendants and the family has no way to survive.
Talk about.
For a long time, Master Su, although he did not say anything, has been extremely dissatisfied with the major families in Dancao Mountain. However, he has a deep mind and does not reveal many things. Moreover, he is dedicated to pursuing the great road and is unwilling to do so.
He interfered too much in the affairs of the sect, so things have always been peaceful.
But Master Changqing does not think that Master Su will always be like this, and judging from his nearly two hundred years of life experience, Master Su is probably waiting for an opportunity, and the decrease in the number of Foundation Establishment Pills this time may be
That opportunity.
Master Changqing knew this very well. Although he also wanted to bring more benefits to the family, at this juncture, he also knew the principle of being wise and protecting himself, so he chose to wait and see what happened.
Your Highness Cuixia, Tao Ling also looked on with cold eyes. She had long disliked these old guys in front of her, but she also had no intention of making a show of it, and as her true disciple, it would be unavoidable to try to reverse the current situation in Dancao Mountain.
A bit too arrogant.
Moreover, her identity this time was just to convey the refining status of the Foundation Establishment Pill on behalf of her master Wu Daozi. As for how the subsequent Foundation Establishment Pills would be distributed, she did not care.
Suddenly, the temperature in Cuixia Hall dropped sharply, and the entire hall seemed to have changed from a scorching summer to a freezing cold winter in an instant, and everyone's expressions couldn't help but change.
A gust of cold wind suddenly blew in the Cuixia Palace, and in the center of the hall, a ball of light flashing with misty blue light suddenly appeared. This ball of light stretched rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, it formed a human shape. The human shape appeared among everyone
The horrified eyes became clearer and clearer, and soon a middle-aged monk in his forties appeared in front of everyone.
This man has a white face and no beard, a slender body, his hands behind his back, and a smile on his face with regular features.
As this person appeared, an astonishing spiritual pressure suddenly swept through the entire Cuixia Palace.
After seeing the face of the visitor clearly, everyone including Master Changqing couldn't help but stood up and bowed to salute.
"See Uncle Su."
"See Uncle Su."
"Get up." The white-faced monk looked around at everyone and then said calmly. With his words, the huge spiritual pressure that enveloped his body began to dissipate, making everyone who bowed their hands and saluted breathed a sigh of relief.
"I came here in the form of Xiao Hanguang to convey the decree of Patriarch Tianyi."
"Disciples, please obey the law respectfully." After hearing this, everyone knelt down with respectful expressions on their faces.
Ancestor Tianyi is the only Nascent Soul Ancestor in the entire Dancao Mountain. In a sense, the main reason why Dancao Mountain has been able to thrive is because of the presence of this Yuanying Ancestor.
Facing Ancestor Tianyi, even if Master Changchun is the head of Dancao Mountain, he does not dare to show any slightest indifference. For everyone in Dancao Mountain, in front of this ancestor, they are like floating clouds, and life and death are also among them.
in a moment.
Seeing everyone kneeling in obeisance, the white-faced monk showed a look of satisfaction on his face, and said lightly: "In this cave trial, the amount of purple spirit flowers obtained was more than 20% less than in previous years, except for leaving a few for refining the green flames.
Apart from the pills, the other foundation-building pills that I have practiced are even 30% less than before."
"This is also caused by the rise and fall of heaven's destiny and cannot be resolved by human power. However, the reduction in the number of Foundation Establishment Pills will inevitably lead to a considerable number of our sect's outer disciples who meet the Foundation Establishment conditions to be unable to obtain Foundation Establishment Pills.
The foundation cannot be successfully established."
"For many years, the cultivation resources of Dancao Mountain have been tilted towards each family, resulting in unfair distribution and burying boundless resentment among low-level disciples."
Having said this, the white-faced monk glanced at everyone coldly. When the outer elders heard this, they shook their bodies one after another, showing their inner uneasiness, but none of them dared to look up and look directly at the white-faced monk, let alone refute.
With a sneer, the white-faced monk continued: "In view of this, the ancestor decided to open the "Five Hell Illusion" for the continued development of the sect. Anyone who can pass the three realms can obtain a Foundation Building Pill, and from today on
Since then, the "Five Hells Fantasy" has been opened once a year.
"The issuance of Foundation Establishment Pills is determined by the number of people who have passed through the illusion of the Five Hells. The previous standards for issuance of Foundation Establishment Pills are now invalid."
"Open the illusion of the five hells?" After hearing this, Changchun's old face, which had not been moved for decades, suddenly changed.
"Uncle Su, the five hells in the illusion are extremely dangerous. Although there will be no life-threatening danger, once the pass is failed, it will have a profound impact on the monk's Taoist heart. It is precisely based on this that seven hundred years ago, Tian Yi Lao
After Zu gave birth to a baby, he announced the suspension of the Five Hells Illusion Trial, now?"
The white-faced monk looked at Master Changqing expressionlessly and said calmly: "This decision was made by Ancestor Tianyi. Wang Daoxuan, are you questioning the Ancestor's decision?"
Immediately, Master Chang Qing was so frightened that his face turned pale. He hurriedly knelt down on the ground again, kowtowing repeatedly, and begged for sin. He felt extremely regretful at this moment. He questioned the ancestor of Tianyi. This was a serious crime for going to the Lingzhan Platform.
Even though he is the leader of Dancao Mountain, he will never be unreasonable if he angers Patriarch Tianyi.
The remaining dozen or so outer sect elders all looked pale and did not dare to take a breath, let alone intercede for Master Changqing. Some of them were even secretly happy in their hearts. After all, Master Changqing had occupied the position of leader.
He has been in power for more than sixty years, and the rest of his family has always been favored by him.
The white-faced monk looked at everyone coldly, and after a moment, he said in a slightly gentle tone: "Get up, the illusion of the five hells is opened to select those with a firm heart from the outer disciples, and to allocate buildings in this way.
Ji Dan is also the most fair move. Don’t think that the ancestors don’t know about Xiao Jiujiu in the hearts of all your major families.”
After hearing this, everyone stood up cautiously, but they did not dare to take a breath and stood with their hands down in fear.
"But this cannot be entirely your fault. We cultivators do not deny the relatives of our own cultivators and use our power to bias our own people. It is reasonable. Ancestor Tianyi also understands this, but the sect
The selection of talents must not be determined by family relationships. If this continues, our Dancao Mountain will inevitably decline and be unable to recover."
Seeing everyone nodding in agreement, the white-faced monk continued: "It is imperative to open the illusion of the five hells. However, if all five realms are opened, it will be too difficult for the outer disciples to pass, so anyone who can
Those who pass the three realms can get a foundation-building pill, which is the token of the five hells. With it, you can open the illusion realm. Daoxuan, it is up to you to preside over this matter. The start time is set to be one month from now.
."
Wang Daoxuan took a two-inch long silver token from the white-faced monk's hand, with the word "Five Prisons" written on it in ancient seal script. After taking the token, he slowly stepped back a few steps and stood with his hands hanging down.
"Well, the decree of the ancestor has been transmitted to me. I hope you will not slack off in following the decree of the ancestor. When the illusion of the five hells is closed next month, I will personally go out and distribute the building materials to all the outer disciples who have passed the trial.
Jidan, and to the top ten who can escape from the Five Hells Illusion in the shortest time, Tianyi Ancestor will also distribute three spiritual weapons and seven top-quality magical weapons to encourage the lower-level disciples in the sect."
"Spirit weapon?" The eyes of several outer sect elders couldn't help but reveal a burning look. You must know that spiritual weapons are also very tempting to them, the outer sect elders. In a large cultivating family like theirs, unless a golden
Monk Dan, otherwise he would not have many spiritual weapons.
"And the first three people who receive the spiritual weapon reward will be accepted as registered disciples by me personally. Once the foundation is successfully established, they will officially join my sect and become one of my true disciples." The white-faced monk said another one.
Information that left everyone stunned.
"Okay, the ancestor's decree has been transmitted. You must abide by it with all your strength. If there are any mistakes and the ancestor will be angry, you can think about the consequences yourself." After the white-faced monk finished speaking, his body began to become blurry again, until he finally melted.
The cyan light spots disappeared.
The cold atmosphere in Cuixia Palace also disappeared, and everyone stood up one after another, feeling relieved in their hearts.
However, they were not in a good mood. They never dreamed that the illusion of the Five Prisons, which had been closed for hundreds of years, would be reopened. It seemed that Patriarch Tianyi was determined to rectify the family power in the sect.
This is not a good thing for them. Seven hundred years ago, the ancestor of Tianyi had just condensed the Nascent Soul, and at that time, the issuance of the Foundation Establishment Pill was based on the outer sect of the Qi Refining Period within the sect.
It is decided whether the disciple can pass through the three realms in the illusion of five hells.
Any outer sect disciple who can successfully pass the three realms will be given a foundation-building pill. Seven hundred years ago, two to three thousand purple spirit flowers could be picked from each cave trial. The five major sects each year
The number of Foundation Establishment Pills issued is more than 100 pills.
However, there are less than a hundred outer disciples in the Qi Refining Period who can pass through the first three realms of the Five Hells Illusion Realm. This leads to an embarrassing situation. In addition to the portion of the Foundation Establishment Pill issued each year, there is still a surplus, and in Tianyi Lao
After Ancestor was promoted to Yuan Ying Ancestor, he felt this, so Ancestor Tianyi issued a decree. In addition to selecting outer sect disciples in the Qi Refining Period through the illusion of the Five Hells every year, major cultivation families can also recommend outstanding ones within the clan.
A disciple in the Qi refining stage was given the Foundation Building Pill.
And because although the Five Hells Illusion Realm can indeed select outstanding outer disciples, the trials are too harsh, causing many outer disciples to have a collapse of their Taoist hearts after participating in the trials, so it was only after a hundred years that Tian
One of the ancestors decided to cancel it, and instead the elders of the outer sects in the sect jointly recommended the outer sect disciples to be given the Foundation Establishment Pill.
As a result, due to the increase in the number of disciples of the cultivator family in Dancao Mountain, they gradually took control of the underlying power of Dancao Mountain, and the distribution of the Foundation Establishment Pill also changed its taste. Through the cave trial, they entered the outer gate of the sect's Qi Refining Period.
Although the disciples will be given a foundation-building pill according to the rules, it is unknown whether it will actually fall into the hands of these people in the end.
Moreover, the outer sect elders with family backgrounds in Dancao Mountain used various means to take the foundation-building pills that should have belonged to them from the outer sect disciples who had entered the sect through the cave trial.
There is an endless supply of things like this, or they can be forcibly exchanged for a very small price.
However, as an outer disciple of the Qi Refining Period at the lowest level of the sect, with his own background as a casual cultivator, although his heart was full of resentment, there was nothing he could do. Under such circumstances, family members were assassinated one after another, even just
Last year, there were seven or eight monks in the Qi Refining Stage who were escorted to the Spirit-Slaying Platform.
