Book 4: Chapter 30: The Stage Above Land Immortal
Sometimes, Bai Qiuran really felt that the Righteous Alliance and Evil Alliance were like children.
They were hostile to each other, but in fact, they were close, then sometimes they fought because of a small disagreement. At this time, in order to prevent the second war between the righteous and the evil, both Bai Qiuran and Su Xiangxue were responsible for persuading and even suppressing individual stingers with force.
He felt that he and Su Xiangxue were like parents surrounded by children. When these children fought, it was the parents who felt headache the most.
Outside the gate of Wise Immortal Mansion, the two who were at the forefront are Jueyunzi of the Qingming Sword Sect and Ji Lingyun of the Heavenly Demon Sect.
The former said that the mansion was conquered by his Uncle Ancestor, the latter said that Sword Patriarch could only find it because of the clue provided by her Great Elder. The former insisted that the Righteous Alliance take over the mansion, while the latter believed that the Evil Alliance should also have a share.
Without saying a word, it turned into personal bickering between the two, and even the heads of the various sects of both alliances were involved and confronted here.
Although there were two more people on the side of the Righteous Alliance, there was also an extra Great Elder on the side of the Evil Alliance, so once the fight started, it may be difficult to separate.
Therefore, when Bai Qiuran came out and learned about the situation from the calmest person, who was standing behind and smiling bitterly – Jade-faced Buddha, he first put all the people except the Jade-faced Buddha to the ground, and then Su Xiangxue came forward, calmed them down, and negotiated with them slowly.
The effect of the combination of fists and kind words was immediate. The heads of the major sects all forced to calm down, sat together again with swollen noses, and began to calmly discuss the ownership of the Wise Immortal Mansion.
The focus of the dispute between the two parties still returned to where the Wise Immortal Mansion should be placed and who would manage it. However, Wise Immortal proposed that “all sects can be connected to the Wise Immortal Mansion by using the s.p.a.ce teleportation method”. After explaining the fact that “Wise Immortal Mansion exists in another small s.p.a.ce outside of Nine Provinces and Ten Lands”, the two sides finally reached a mutual agreement.
The entrance of Wise Immortal Mansion was still placed here, together with the ancient city, and the major sects will connect each sect to Wise Immortal Mansion by using the s.p.a.ce transmission array after learning from Wise Immortal.
Wise Immortal Mansion and Ancient City were marked as neutral areas which were managed by both the Righteous Alliance and Evil Alliance. Each major sect of both sides would send one elder to guard these two places, and the rotation occurred every ten years.
The other sects, after obtaining the permission of the alliance, could also freely enter the Wise Immortal Mansion to learn, find opportunities, or test themselves in trials.
In this way, the affairs of the Wise Immortal Mansion finally came to an end. The leaders of the major sects quickly became busy, sorting out secrets, establishing formations, counting magic weapons… There were many things left for them. do.
However, it had nothing to do with Bai Qiuran, who returned to Qingming Sword Sect with a group of disciples who wanted to return.
Su Xiangxue was busy, so she had pa.s.sed the order to collect the information about First Demon Emperor’s Tombs to the Hehuan Sect’s intelligence network. Bai Qiuran also used his ma.s.sive sect contribution value to mobilize the Qingming Sword Sect’s intelligence network.
But after all, that’s investigating the imperial tombs of a Demon Emperor. All these intelligence activities had to be carried out in the demon world. Because of the xenophobia of the demon clan, it was very difficult for the human race to enter the demon world, so Bai Qiuran was not in a hurry.
It would take five or six years for this investigation to be carried out, let alone to find the tomb of an ancestor of the demon clan who pa.s.sed away thousands of years ago.
As Xue Ling said, ‘people who travel a hundred miles think that they pa.s.s ninety when they’re just half of the way’. Although Bai Qiuran was anxious, in fact, he has already prepared for a protracted battle in his heart.
To find the imperial tomb of the first Demon Emperor, it’s possible that he would need to spend another 3000 years.
So for the next period of time, Bai Qiuran shut himself on the Seven Stars Peak and learned the methods of the previous era from Wise Immortal.
“Don’t be discouraged, don’t be discouraged.”
On the edge of the cliff on the Qixing Peak, the skull of Wise Immortal who was placed aside by Bai Qiuran comforted him:
“You have been through it for three thousand years, and with time you will become stronger. Don’t worry, the Underworld can’t take your soul away.”
“You can’t say something good?”
Bai Qiuran sighed and threw out the folded paper crane.
The paper crane swayed in the air with the mountain breeze, suddenly shook its wings, flew out by itself, and disappeared into the sky extremely fast.
This was a technique of the Sacred Dynasty era that he has newly learned.
In that era, the Land Immortals have succeeded in comprehending the basics of life and death. The techniques designed according to this could give vitality to the dead or deprive the living creatures of their lifespan. Of course, these magical powers originally could only be used by Land Immortals, but with the help of Wise Immortal, Bai Qiuran modified it to be able to be used by cultivators in Qi Refining stage.
These paper cranes were given life by him, and after flying out, they could become his eyes and ears, like a drone to help him find clues to the first Demon Emperor’s Tomb.
It’s foreseeable that for a long time to come, these paper life forms would fly across the sky of the demon world from time to time.
“Speaking of which, Su Xiangxue came to see you alone that day, what did she tell you?”
Folding the paper, Bai Qiuran casually asked.
“That little girl, she came to ask me how to become a Land Immortal.”
Wise Immortal replied:
“She said that she didn’t want to ascend to Immortal Realm for the time being, nor did she want to die when her life was exhausted, so I taught her how to become a Land Immortal.”
“Being a Land Immortal also gives you an endless life?”
Bai Qiuran asked.
“Of course, a Land Immortal is also an immortal, although I dare not to say that the life is endless, at the very least a life as long as the world can still be achieved.”
Wise Immortal shook his skull slightly.
“It’s just that we haven’t ascended to the Immortal Realm, and we haven’t obtained the celestial aura forging. Perhaps we are a little weaker than the celestial immortals of the same level…Moreover, after honed in the Land Immortal stage to the Great Perfection, we can no longer improve.”
“Is it because of the restrictions of the rules of heaven?”
Bai Qiuran asked.
“It’s because there is no practice for further improvement. Everyone is at the end. I can’t practice anymore, so I’m very confused.”
“In the tens of thousands of years in the history of the Sacred Dynasty, no one can create a breakthrough method?”
Bai Qiuran wondered.
“Do you think that everyone can improve endlessly like you? Human ability is limited, and we have been fighting against demons and devils at the time. When the most talented people wake up every day and open their eyes, the only thing in their mind is how to let humans kill all these b.a.s.t.a.r.ds, okay? When the peacetime came, many immortals felt that the situation of the human race was stable, and they didn’t want to work harder, so they chose to ascend directly.”
Wise Immortal replied:
“To some extent, it’s one of the reasons that made me sacrifice my desire in exchange for Great Wisdom. I also wanted to see if it was possible to find out a breakthrough method for Land Immortals, but unfortunately, I didn’t make it to that day. However, from what I read in the ruins, the Dongqing Immortal Dynasty had techniques for raising the stage of the Land Immortals, but unfortunately, all of them were lost with the demise of the Dongqing Immortal Dynasty.”
“That’s a pity.”
Bai Qiuran sighed.
