Chapter 49: All Things in the Universe
This is just the tip of the iceberg of extraterrestrial demons.
Fortunately, the true form of the demon is not here, but a clone. It is really hard to imagine how powerful the true form is that is roaming in the boundless and mysterious world.
The giant mouth of the extraterrestrial demon got bigger and bigger, as if it covered the entire sky, and finally swallowed three people.
Zhou Mengyao, who had entered the supreme state of forgetfulness, did not panic at all and continued to operate the "Heavenly Sword" to resist the erosion of the power of chaos.
Qi Xuansu, who possesses the "Heart of the Immortal Stone", remains calm in the face of major events as always, and uses the "Tai Chi Bagua Mirror" to organize a second line of defense to check for deficiencies.
Su Yuanzai drove the flying boat with all his strength and sailed towards the unknown front.
It just gives people the feeling that they are still rushing towards the abyss and entering the body of the extraterrestrial demon.
Suddenly, a huge black whirlpool suddenly appeared in front, and the building boat lost control instantly, just like a small boat in a tsunami, it was involuntarily sucked into the whirlpool.
At this moment, Qi Xuansu saw countless fragments of time and space, playing out the journeys of various living beings from birth to death, with love, desire, hate, greed, anger, obsession, and all kinds of emotions rushing in crazily.
Immortals can resist such a terrifying torrent of distracting thoughts. For example, human immortals have merged soul and body. The body is the soul, and the soul is the body. As long as the human immortal's body cannot be destroyed, it cannot affect the human immortal. Another example is the gods, who are good at stripping away all kinds of greed and obsession contained in the incense and wish power, and it is not difficult to deal with it.
But under the Immortal, it's hard to say. The pseudo-immortals still have some resistance. The gods under the pseudo-immortals may be shocked to the point where their souls will collapse, their true nature will be wiped out, they will become walking zombies, and they may even be twisted into various indescribable existences.
In the blink of an eye, Su Yuanzai exploded.
It's just that there is no flesh and blood, no soul, and no three corpses wandering around.
It turned out to be a clone, and it was different from the three corpse incarnations or the military dissolution incarnation. After the clone exploded, various mechanisms and machinery were scattered in all directions. These materials are quite good and can be used to make flying swords or magic weapons, and there are even materials for refining semi-immortal objects. However, they are all used to make clones, which shows that the specifications of this clone are very high.
Then these materials quickly dimmed under the erosion of the power of chaos, and soon became invisible.
The most important thing is a core, which is like a gem. It can still shine at first, but soon it completely dims.
Zhou Mengyao recognized him at a glance: "A body of all kinds!"
Qi Xuansu was startled and couldn't help asking: "What is this?"
Although it was extremely critical at this time, Zhou Mengyao still sent a hint of spiritual thought, allowing Qi Xuansu to instantly understand what the universe was.
When the Creation Project was abolished, except for a small number of extremists who defected from Taoism and established eight secret societies, the remaining people were mainly divided into Huashengtang and Tianjitang.
Huashengtang has inherited most of the results of the creation project, including the "Heart of the Immortal Stone" and the "Eight Tribes Plan", etc. Strictly speaking, Jianxiu Mountain, Ghost Kingdom Cave Heaven, "Emperor Shitian", and the three major Yin objects It is also within the scope of power and responsibility of Huashengtang and is the core strength of Quanzhen Tao. However, this part is personally in charge of the Earth Master, and the Master of the Huasheng Hall has to step aside. Therefore, the Earth Master is also called the "Master of the Master of the Huasheng Hall."
Of course, in the Taoist sect's position, there is no such thing as the head master, it is just a private saying.
This is not surprising. The Ancestral Sacrifice Hall is nominally responsible for the affairs of ghosts and gods. In addition to the well-known cold benches such as the Requiem Division, the "Thirty-Three Days" is actually under the jurisdiction of the Ancestral Sacrifice Hall, as well as the treasures left by True Lord Taiyin. The Kingdom of God, as well as the inheritance of various gods and goddesses, are within the scope of the ancestral hall’s responsibilities. But in fact, the real person in charge of the ancestral sacrificial hall cannot interfere at all. In fact, the Celestial Master is in charge of it himself. The Celestial Master can also be called the "big real person in charge of the ancestral sacrificial hall."
In the same way, the side of Shibo Hall is the private area of the Imperial Master. Shibotang is responsible for human affairs. It is not only responsible for carrying out trade, but also owns the largest fleet and various industries. Half of Daomen’s flying boats and two-thirds of the iron-clad ships are controlled by Shibotang. However, Shibotang’s control The master of the hall has no way to intervene, and the master is personally in charge. The master of the country actually serves as the "big master of the Shibo Hall".
Compared with Huashengtang, Tianjitang seems to be overshadowed. In addition to building flying boats and managing the twenty-fourth square of Yujing, the "Phoenix Eye" series and the "Dragon Eye" series are more famous.
In fact, Tianji Hall has not been idle in these years. Inspired by the alchemy arcana and steam gospel of Westerners, it secretly launched the "Sen Luo Wanxiang Project" based on the "Eight Divisions Plan" inherited by Huasheng Hall. In summary, the flesh and blood suffer, and the organs soar. Tianjitang also wants to use human power to create immortals.
It's just that Tianjitang has never been able to break through the limitations of the great rebirth, unable to complete the last step of transcendence, and failed to complete the feat of creating an immortal.
But the whole plan is not in vain. It has reached the stage of becoming a pseudo-immortal, that is, the "body of all things". The principle is similar to Zhijie Xian's Bingjie Incarnation, and the control method is also similar to the Bingjie Incarnation, but the process of condensing the Bingjie Incarnation is omitted, and the power is constant, carrying forward the consistent style of Tianjitang, and does not change depending on the level of cultivation of the deity. , you can use it right away. It can be said that it is specially prepared for the inheritance of earthly immortals and the inheritance of heavenly immortals.
As a senior Quanzhen Taoist for many years, Zhou Mengyao was not surprised to know the inside story. After all, Qi Xuansu's rise was too short. As a disciple of Master Donghua and a newly promoted Master of Shenzhi, many secrets were no longer guarded against him, but if he didn't understand them, others wouldn't take the initiative to mention them.
If Qi Xuansu asked the head of Tianji Hall, then the head of Tianji Hall would probably not hide it, but Qi Xuansu didn't ask, and he couldn't let the head of Tianji Hall come to tell Qi Xuansu that our Tianji Hall launched the "Senluo Wanxiang Plan". There is no such reason.
There is another question. As a person of Zhengyi Dao, how could Su Yuanzai have the core secrets of Quanzhen Dao?
Zhou Mengyao sent another ray of divine thought: "It's Su Yuanyi. Don't forget that Su Yuanyi once served as the head of Huasheng Hall for a short time. Huasheng Hall and Tianji Hall have always had a deep connection. Huasheng Hall also participated in the "Senluo Wanxiang Plan". In addition, the current head of Tianji Hall is also a person of Zhengyi Dao."
Qi Xuansu remembered.
This involves the alliance between Quanzhen Dao and Zhengyi Dao.
In ancient times, the alliance of vassal states negotiated peace. In addition to marriage, it also emphasized the exchange of hostages to gain each other's trust.
Zhengyi Dao and Quanzhen Dao also have similar operations. Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu's marriage is considered a marriage alliance. If Donghua Zhenren and Cihang Zhenren can succeed, it can also be considered a marriage alliance, and it is a marriage of the highest standard.
You can't expect the Heavenly Master and the Earthly Master to get married when they are old, that would be a bit ridiculous. Moreover, the two of them are friendly on the surface, but they have been fighting each other in secret, and Qi Xuansu is a part of their fight. Taking a step back, even if the two of them are married, a descendant of a fairy and a descendant of a great witch, sleeping in the same bed but dreaming differently, the picture is too "beautiful" to imagine. I'm afraid I have to sleep with my eyes open, for fear that the person next to me will stab me.
If the Heavenly Master and the Earthly Master don't sleep in the same bed but dream differently, then the State Master will not be able to sleep.
The second is to exchange hostages. Because the Taoist sect nominally abolished the hereditary system, hostages are not that important, so the two sides chose to exchange positions. That is, people from Quanzhen Dao will hold positions within the sphere of influence of Zhengyi Dao, and Zhengyi Dao will hold positions within the sphere of influence of Quanzhen Dao.
So Cihang Zhenren briefly served as the head of Huasheng Hall, and Ning Lingge briefly served as the head of Tiangang Hall, becoming the old boss of Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu.
Later, the positions were adjusted, and Cihang Zhenren returned to Tiangang Hall to complete the pattern of the three upper halls corresponding to the three crown princes. Ning Lingge did not return to Huasheng Hall, but went to the Ancestral Hall to serve as the head of the hall.
Correspondingly, Xu Dacheng, the new head of Huasheng Hall, was born in Quanzhen Taoism, so the head of Tianji Hall must be held by a Zhengyi Taoist.
The current head of Tianji Hall is Baili Zhenye. Although he is not surnamed Zhang, nor is he a member of the Yan family or the Su family, and even the Baili family is not as good as the Yan family, this person can be regarded as a family of origin, and his ancestor was one of the thirty-six assistants in the Xuansheng era. At that time, the Taoist sect did not have so many rules and regulations. This assistant did not show his real name, but was named after the name of the tune "Bai Mei Niang". His descendants changed Baili to his surname based on the first character of "Bai Mei Niang".
Baili Zhenye's courtesy name is Zhiye. As can be seen from his name, after the family became weak, the elders had high hopes for him, hoping that he could revive the family and restore its glory.
When Qi Xuansu got married, Qi Xuansu also met this master of the hall and got to know him a little.
Baili Zhenye was poor when he was young and his family was in a difficult situation. Although he was much better than Qi Xuansu in his early years, he had only a family name, which was far less than the help Qi Xianniang gave to Qi Xuansu, and even less than Zhang Yuelu who had not yet been recognized by the Heavenly Master. It is said that he met Master Cihang by chance. Master Cihang admired him very much, took good care of him, and helped him a lot. Especially for several key promotions, Master Cihang made great efforts.
Baili Zhenye has always remembered the kindness of Master Cihang and regarded Master Cihang as his elder sister. In private, the two simply called each other brother and sister. Many people said that Baili Zhenye was half a member of the Su family. This is the foundation of the Su family, which is far better than the Yan family, and is also the key factor that supports Master Cihang to become the second figure in Zhengyi.
As siblings, Cihang Zhenren's other brother Su Yuanzai naturally has a good relationship with Baili Zhenye, so it all makes sense. After all, it is just an incarnation of the pseudo-immortal level, and the earth master will not be in charge personally. Baili Zhenye still has the final say and temporarily lends it to Su Yuanyi for use.
No one expected that the old boy Su Yuanzai actually took precautions in advance and replaced his original body with the "body of all things in the universe".
Zhou Mengyao said: "When Su Gongfu entered the cave, he must have been the original body. It should be after seeing the pregnant White Lotus Sect member that Su Gongfu became suspicious and temporarily changed to a fake body. In this way, we can only rely on ourselves."
On the other side, the main hall of the Baiyun Sect.
Su Yuanzai was sitting cross-legged and suddenly opened his eyes. Cold sweat oozed from his forehead and his face was slightly pale.
The leader of the Baiyun Sect and the saint Tang Ling were both guarding here. Seeing this, they immediately stood up and asked with concern: "Zhenren Su?"
Su Yuanzai waved his hand, indicating that he was fine, and murmured: "Is this the Cloud God?"
