Longevity and Immortal Cultivation: Starting from Controlling Your Own Essence

Once the beacon fire is lit, it is difficult to extinguish it.

Although the purge against Fu Haizong only lasted for half a month, the turmoil it brought cannot be stopped just by saying a stop.

In this chaos that swept across the entire Da Li, many families and sects had new and old grievances together, dubbed each other's hats, laid hands on each other, and fought to the death.

In this situation, even if the Lingyang Sect, the Shanhe Sect, and the Dugu Family issued an edict together, it would be difficult to quell the dispute.

After the cleanup is over:

The entire situation in Dali can be described in one sentence - open battles are suspended and secret fights are endless.

Under the fierce fighting and fighting, many sects and aristocratic families collapsed, and a large number of interests were emptied. The chain reaction brought about led to a new round of continuous turmoil, implicating more immortal cultivators.

Under such troubled times, even many square city areas are no longer safe, and many low-level casual cultivators feel precarious, and a large number of people flee and travel south.

Anyone with a gully in their chest can sense that something is wrong, but they are weak and difficult to stop, and they can only watch the situation continue to deteriorate.

As for the upper level of the Dali Xiuxian Realm, it is a completely different scene:

The three major golden elixir forces, and even the masters of the dominant forces, all turned a blind eye to the chaos in the middle and lower classes, and took an attitude of letting it go.

Seeing that the Breaker is about to succeed, all the families are actively preparing, buying spiritual weapons and talismans, purchasing spiritual pills and secret treasures, and practicing Taoism and secret arts as soon as possible, waiting for the day when the Five Elements Secret Realm reopens.

And the three Jindan Patriarchs were also wary of possible outside spoilers. While taking turns to occupy the headquarters of Tianbaolou, they also secretly deployed manpower to track down Yuwentai's whereabouts in the southwestern countries.

Spring goes and autumn comes.

After a whole year of turmoil in Dali, it finally subsided gradually.

The sects, aristocratic families, and alliance organizations in each continent suffered heavy casualties, so they all silently withdrew their forces and licked their wounds, and all kinds of open and secret battles have also been greatly reduced.

…………

Qianzhou, Tianbao Building headquarters.

The top-floor residence originally belonged to Yuwentai, but now it has become a place for the three Jindan ancestors to practice quietly when they take turns sitting in the township.

this day:

Patriarch Zhenyang, who is in charge of the headquarters of Tianbao Building, is sitting in the main hall on the top floor, listening to the work reports of several elders.

"...Then let's call it a day."

After listening to their reports, Patriarch Zhenyang looked calm and said:

"As the saying goes, there are no waves without wind. Now that the wind is calm, the waves should calm down."

"After this turmoil, at least two or three hundred years of stability and peace can be exchanged for us, which is worthwhile."

After saying that, he paused for a moment before enjoining:

"Tell my decision to the Shanhe faction and the Dugu family, so that they can calm down for a while."

"The Breaker is very close to the completion of his meritorious deeds. It may be within ten days and a half months. It's better to be more stable."

"yes."

The elders of Lingyang Sect all nodded respectfully in response.

If outsiders see this scene and hear their conversation, they will definitely be shocked—it turns out that the turmoil that swept across Dali was secretly promoted by the Lingyang Sect, the Shanhe Sect, and the Dugu Clan.

If it weren't for these three Golden Core forces secretly fueling the flames and fanning the flames, the turmoil would not have lasted for such a long time and caused heavy damage to the world of cultivating immortals.

"Why……"

Patriarch Zhenyang didn't know what he thought of, he sighed:

"Even though Dali is rich in heavenly treasures, its aura is limited after all, and it cannot support too many immortal cultivators."

"If you don't exercise restraint, it will only drag down the entire world of cultivating immortals in the end... Tianzhou Jiufu is the best. Even the second-class Fifty-Four Kingdoms are several times better than Dali."

At this moment, he is extremely envious of the immortal cultivators living in the Nine Mansions of Tianzhou, who have endless aura and never worry about lack of it.

He is the patriarch of Jindan and powerful in a country, but he is also trapped by this identity and cannot leave everything behind to go to the nine mansions of Tianzhou to pursue his own path.

It is also because of this that the 'Innate Pure Yuan Pill' left by the Five Elements Sanren is extremely important to him.

"go Go."

Patriarch Zhenyang waved his hand and dismissed many elders.

After several elders retreated respectfully, he got up and came to the edge of the floor, touching the railing and looking at the sky, with deep eyes:

"With one against two, there may not be no chance of winning..."

…………

Seven days later.

"Boom..."

The majestic spiritual vortex covered hundreds of miles around, and the momentum was huge.

Such an astonishing celestial phenomenon instantly caused a sensation inside and outside Tianbao Building, and many monks discussed and speculated one after another.

At the same time, at the bottom of Tianbao Building, in a top-secret underground space.

"good very good!"

Patriarch Zhenyang smiled all over his face, with a hint of expectation in his eyes, he looked at the figure in the distance.

It was a young man sitting cross-legged, wearing a plain black robe, with an ordinary face and short hair. At first glance, he was ordinary and nothing extraordinary.

But at this moment, his body's magic power is soaring, and his mighty and incomparable magic power can almost suffocate the foundation establishment of the same level.

"Boom..."

Vigorous mana pulsates endlessly, triggering the vortex of spiritual energy to pour down continuously.

Mana, body, and soul are undergoing an all-round transformation, and their own Dao foundation will also be condensed into the prototype of Jindan, entering the final stage of the foundation period.

"Such mana is truly terrifying!"

Ancestor Zhenyang couldn't help being amazed while watching:

"Cultivators who refine the way of formation and enter the body are really blessed. Their combat power is king among the same ranks, and they are more powerful than famous schools such as body cultivation, soul cultivation, and sword cultivation!"

"If it weren't for this school's innate shortcomings and the severance of the path, it might be able to replace the orthodox Qi refining method and occupy the mainstream position..."

Patriarch Zhenyang thought so in his heart, but he didn't care much about it.

There are thousands of branches on the immortal road, each with its own advantages, far superior to the orthodox schools, but each has its own flaws, which makes it a minority.

He has already achieved Jindan and stepped on the Heavenly Dao, so naturally he would not envy the monks of other schools, let alone being a pitiful and pathetic puppet.

"True Yang!"

Two figures appeared beside Patriarch Zhenyang almost at the same time, they were Patriarch Sanshan and Dugu Tianyi.

"You are here."

Patriarch Zhenyang nodded slightly and said with a smile:

"The action is so fast, it seems that you left immediately after receiving my summons."

"Of course."

Patriarch Sanshan took it for granted:

"This is the most critical moment. Of course, we have to come and guard it in person to avoid any accidents."

"good."

Dugu Tian stroked his beard and smiled, sighing:

"This is the crystallization of our painstaking efforts for hundreds of years. You have to come and see for yourself."

The three of them are not young, and the oldest is over four hundred years old.

And because of the series of events involved in the Five Elements Secret Realm, they also occupied almost half of their lives, and it took almost a hundred years just to cultivate the Breakers.

Even if you are the supreme Patriarch Jindan, how many hundred years are there in your life?

"Yeah, it's been so many years..."

Patriarch Zhenyang and Patriarch Sanshan also sighed endlessly, and the atmosphere of the conversation eased a lot.

While chatting and communicating, the three of them waited silently until the breakthrough this time was completely completed and the spiritual vortex dissipated.

"I succeeded!"

Qian Le turned his head, looked at the three of them, and said something in a low voice.

"Yes, congratulations."

Patriarch Zhenyang responded with a smile, and the three of them applauded in unison.

Qian Le scratched his head, looked left and right, with a hint of doubt in his expression:

"Why didn't you see Uncle Yuwen?"

"Oh, he couldn't come because of something."

Dugu Tian changed the subject with a normal face, stepped forward and said:

"Come on, let us check you out."

"oh."

Qian Le nodded obediently, and sat down like this, allowing Patriarch Zhenyang and others to use mana, divine sense, and perform Taoism to investigate in turn.

After inspecting the inside and outside of Qian Le's body, and even his mind, soul and memory several times, the three of them finally felt relieved.

"No problem!"

The ancestor Zhenyang spoke through voice transmission, with a hint of excitement in his tone:

"His cultivation is a solid foundation establishment, and there is no problem in opening the core door with blood sacrifice!"

"good!"

Patriarch Sanshan's tone was filled with emotion:

"After waiting for so many years, it's finally time for the flowers to bloom and bear fruit!"

They had searched Yuwentai's memory back then, and the sect's foundation-builder cultivators had personally inspected the outskirts of the core area, so they believed in the conditions for opening the blood sacrifice.

In order to meet this condition, they backed down and compromised many times, gathered almost all the manpower and material resources of Dali, finally found a qualified person, and trained for hundreds of years before they got this 'key'.

"Stay well, we'll see you in a while."

Patriarch Zhenyang patted Qian Le on the head, said something with a smile, and left with Patriarch Sanshan and Dugutian.

The Breaker has finally achieved success, which means that the Five Elements Secret Realm, which has been closed for more than a hundred years, has finally come to reopen.

Next, they still have a series of things to do, and they will not use this 'key' until everything is arranged properly.

"Crunch..."

As the iron gate was slowly sealed, the last ray of light disappeared.

Layers of tyrannical formations were opened again, completely sealing off the dark underground palace from the outside world.

"..."

Qian Le sat on the futon without saying a word, like a lonely stone sculpture.

After multiple soul transformations and twisted controls, his mind is like that of a seven or eight-year-old child, or the kind that is particularly slow to respond to the outside world, almost like a mechanical puppet.

He has long been used to living alone in the dark.

However, the uninterrupted cultivation task that lasted for hundreds of years was suddenly announced to be completed, which made him a little uncomfortable.

He just sat there blankly, with nothing in his mind, almost no extra thoughts.

But suddenly:

"Wow..."

Ripples appeared on the calm lake, as if someone had dropped a stone into the heart lake.

"Why am I here?"

A question suddenly jumped out of Qian Le's heart.

This sudden thought made Qian Le jump when he realized it. He stood up abruptly and walked around in the dark palace in panic.

He had absolutely no idea how to deal with the situation because no one had taught him and he couldn't possibly learn.

Gradually:

As time goes by, the ripples in the heart lake become bigger and bigger, and there are more and more thoughts:

"Why haven't I achieved glory and wealth? This is different from what they promised."

"Where are my parents? I haven't seen them since I came here. It's a bit strange..."

"I shouldn't have gone to Tianzhou Nine Mansions in the first place, otherwise I wouldn't have been targeted. I really regret it!"

"That cave in the East China Sea probably hides the way forward for the Nascent Soul Empress. I have to go there, and I have to go there before the agreed time..."

Layers of waves swayed, and the undercurrent surged until the waves rolled up and hit the lake shore, touching the formation engraved in the soul.

Qian Le's expression froze suddenly, his mind roared like Hong Zhong Dalu shaking.

After three full breaths, his eyes suddenly changed, from dazed and dull to sharp like a falcon, with a faint light.

"what happened?"

"Why am I here..."

He looked around, and after the divine sense shot, his face changed, and he thought of something in an instant, and began to screen his own memory.

"……I see."

After a while, he took a deep breath, and had a judgment in his mind:

"First, my deity is dead."

"Second, I have a problem with my memory."

Only when the deity died, would he be 'reborn' on this body, replacing the identity of the Breaker.

And the important thing is:

He couldn't remember when he arranged this second hand, and he didn't even have the slightest impression.

The impression of this plan in his mind was just the failed experiment against Kangzhou Dubu Taoist, but this was completely inconsistent with his current state.

This can only mean one thing -

"As expected of me, it's really cruel."

Yu Wentai smiled:

"Just in case, to prevent the worst from happening, I even lied to myself."

"However, from the current point of view, this backhand has worked, and the price paid for it is also meaningful."

Yu Wentai is still very satisfied with the arrangement of "myself" before his death.

The identity of the Breaker is so important, and several Jindan Patriarchs personally protect it, it is almost impossible to be killed, and it is safer than his own deity.

And more importantly:

The spiritual roots and exercises of Breaker are exactly the same as his, and he can perfectly inherit his strength.

After breaking through the control of the soul with the help of the "Thousands of Souls and Thoughts Formation", his current state can be said to be almost the same as that of a normal monk, and he has the same capital to hit the Golden Core Realm.

"Is this a blessing in disguise?"

Yu Wentai smiled, but a cold light flashed in his eyes.

If he wanted to break through to the Golden Core Realm, he would have been able to intercept the spirit of the soul, and he didn't have to wait until the Five Elements Secret Realm was opened.

Seizing the body of the Breaker of the House can be said to be a bad idea, full of hidden dangers and compromises, and it was a forced choice when he was desperate.

And now he's curious:

"Who is it that made me go this far?!"
