Chapter 529: Expansion (1)
Yuanlingtian, the headquarters of Senluo Sect.
Unlike the majestic and solemn mountain gates of the other top 100 sects, the main mountain gate of the Senluo Sect is more like a secular country.
Covered by a gigantic mountain protection formation , towns with a population definitely no larger than 10,000 people are dotted across the mountains. Tens of thousands of small towns together form the headquarters of the Senluo Sect, which is considered the oldest inheritance of Yuanlingtian.
There are as many branches and schools of the Senluo Sect as there are sects, inheritances, and cultivation techniques in Yuanlingtian. Alchemy, talisman, corpse, weapon... swordsmanship, formation, feng shui, geomancy... Buddhist cultivation, Taoist cultivation, magic cultivation, ghost cultivation...
From the grand ways to the crooked ways, there are all kinds of things. The Senluo Sect is all-embracing and tolerates everything.
There are even many elders who practice multiple disciplines.
There are elders who refine corpses, and they use zombies as flying swords for sacrifice.
There is an elder who makes elixirs. He captures demons and uses them as elixirs to make elixirs.
There are elders who practice Buddhism, but also practice the Taoist method of dual cultivation of yin and yang.
There was an elder who practiced magic, but he managed to refine Buddhist relics!
In short, there are many strange things and countless evil things in Senluo Sect... But because there are too many fun and interesting things, many masters are too distracted and their cultivation realm has not been improved. Although it is one of the top 100 sects, and because of its long heritage and large number of disciples, its ranking is still very high, but in the Yuanlingtian cultivation world, all sects firmly believe that Senluo Sect is probably at the bottom of the top 100 sects.
After all, the total number of supreme elders in the Half-Step Heavenly Man Realm that the Senluo Sect has publicly disclosed to the public is only seven or eight!
But...actually!
Only a few core leaders of the Senluo Sect know the true face of the Senluo Sect.
Senluo Mountain is 320 miles high, with a base area of 12,000 miles. The mountain range stretches for a million miles, with dozens of branches. There are over ten thousand blessed places and secret realms. Under the protection of an ancient strange formation, Senluo Mountain is full of spiritual energy and rich in Taoist charm. For countless years, it has been the headquarters of the Senluo Sect.
Deep in the center of Mount Senluo, amidst numerous restrictions, there is a vast underground palace.
The entire underground palace is made of five-colored fine gold, which is simple and colorful. Every inch of land exudes an extremely ancient and vicissitudes of life charm.
Here, there were dozens of unpredictable but extremely powerful auras that were constantly rising and falling, and various colors of strange lights flashed, illuminating the entire underground palace. If there were other powerful people from other sects present, they would be able to feel that these dozens of auras were all at the half-step heavenly realm.
Among them, there is an obscure aura hidden, which is far stronger than these powerful beings who are half a step away from the realm of heaven and man.
Just like Bai Zhu of Jianmen, Senluo Sect also has a powerful person in the realm of heaven and man hiding behind the scenes.
Deep in the underground palace, there is a golden bronze palace surrounded by blazing fire and sharp golden energy. If you get a little closer, the fire will almost , and the golden energy will go straight through your internal organs. If an ordinary cultivator is not careful, his internal organs will be shattered if touched.
In the main hall, Luo Hua, the elder who was in charge of the outer sect of Senluo Sect, was holding a thin booklet and reporting on the recent events in Yuanlingtian.
At the end of the hall, there is a giant throne that is a hundred feet high. A metal war puppet made entirely of metal, with a dragon head and a human body, covered with colorful dragon scales, and an aura that is so powerful and terrifying that it is almost condensed into substance, freezing the entire hall. It is sitting steadily on the throne, quietly listening to Luo Hua's report.
This war puppet is the secret treasure of the Senluo Sect that has been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years. Only the head of each generation can master it.
In the catastrophe thirty thousand years ago, this war puppet attacked with all its strength just once. Although it itself was seriously injured, it also caused the death of one of the nine celestial beings in the Supreme Saint Heaven and serious injury to another.
It was not that time that this war puppet brazenly killed a celestial being from the Extreme Saint Heaven, causing a drastic change in the battle situation. The Supreme Being of Jianmen might have already been unable to escape the killing calamity and died in the pursuit of the powerful celestial being. There would have been no him who would have risen up strongly afterwards and almost wiped out the great achievements of the Extreme Saint Heaven with just one man and one sword.
Over the past 30,000 years, Senluo Sect has secretly collected resources and spent countless efforts to finally restore this war puppet to its peak strength. The war puppet was also passed down to the current generation of the headmaster, Wanxiang.
The original body of Wanxiang is still drinking the cold wind outside the barrier between heaven and earth in Jishengtian.
However, a wisp of his soul is placed on this war puppet, and he still perfectly controls everything of the Senluo Sect.
"So, Jianmen's Earth Lung Furnace was destroyed?" The War Puppet spoke, his voice was like thunder, shaking the whole hall.
"Yes!" Luo Hua smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed into a line. As the chief elder of the outer sect, he controlled most of the intelligence channels of the Senluo Sect and could be regarded as the most well-informed person in the Senluo Sect. He was well-informed about all kinds of major events, such as which concubine the Sword Sect Master Bai Xuanyue favored more, and which illegitimate son he favored more. He could also find out about these small gossips.
"The Shengyang Palace killed Hu Tianjun, and the Shadow Tower and the Shengyang Palace fought to the death?" Zhan Kui spoke again.
“Yes... the fight was so brutal, Yinglou was really crazy. Several supreme elders of Shengyang Palace were missing, and several more were seriously injured by Yinglou’s dead shadows... If it weren’t for the strong rescue efforts of several friendly sects, Shengyang Palace would have been in danger of collapse this time.” Luo Hua laughed again.
"The Miro Cult and the Water God Palace are also fighting?" There was a cold light flashing in the war puppet's eyes, illuminating the entire hall.
"The Water God Cult asked the Water Ancestor of Yingyuan to borrow the top-level spiritual treasure Xiantian Xuanming Flag to set up an extremely vicious killing array, hoping to drown the secular territory of the Miro Cult. However, the Miro Cult also dispatched the forbidden artifact Four-phase Armillary Sphere plus one counterattack. According to the news received about an hour ago, the Tianhua Immortal Dynasty of the Water God Palace is completely destroyed."
Luo Hua shuddered and murmured, "Back then, the founder of the Miro sect obtained the Four-phase Armillary Sphere. At that time, our sect was at its peak and had the highest status in Yuanlingtian. His words were final... The ancestor of that generation of our sect once personally tried to test the Miro sect and wanted to seize the Four-phase Armillary Sphere, but the ancestor of the Miro sect used a trick to avoid it."
"Later, several of our ancestors also tried to test the Miro Sect, but they all returned empty-handed. They all thought that the Four-seasons Armillary Sphere was not in the hands of the Miro Sect, and they just let it go. But after seeing it today, I realized that the Miro Sect had a lot of thoughts... Thirty thousand years ago, the Miro Sect was almost wiped out, but they didn't even use this treasure!"
Zhan Kui sneered, "Thirty thousand years ago, if his Mi Luo Sect had dared to use the Four-phase Armillary Sphere, this treasure would have long been lost to them... They would not only have been almost wiped out, but would have been completely wiped out, leaving no one alive."
"The Four-season Armillary Sphere... This treasure has an unpredictable origin, and was created before heaven and earth." Zhan Kui said faintly, "It was their fate that it fell into the hands of the Miro Cult."
Shaking his head, the war puppet slowly stood up, and suddenly his power became so great that the huge hall was almost burst by the surging magic power.
"This Yuanlingtian has become so lively all of a sudden. It shows that the chess pieces I brought from Jishengtian have already started to move..." Zhan Kui took a breath and sighed, "But, is Jishengtian really so lucky? It has shrunk to such a degree. Can the few people with great luck that I brought from it mess up Yuanlingtian like this?"
Luo Hua smiled and said, "Master, it is obvious that the Sword Sect is getting weaker with each generation. Brother, you can turn Yuan Lingtian upside down with just a few moves, but the Sword Sect has no reaction at all!"
Zhan Kui waved his hand: "Wrong! One, Yuan Lingtian has not yet reached the point of being turned upside down. We need to take action and push hard from behind to make this storm higher and bigger and swallow more people!"
"Secondly, Jianmen is not as simple as you think. I think they have the same idea as us. They hope that Yuanlingtian will be in chaos, and then... take the opportunity to eliminate dissidents. It would be best to force all the trump cards of the major sects in Yuanlingtian to reveal, and then... win in one battle!"
Luo Hua looked up at Zhan Kui in horror: "But..."
Zhan Kui put his hands behind his back and looked down at Luo Hua: "The goals of Jianmen and my sect are almost exactly the same. Why do we want to destroy the Jianmen-led expedition to Jishengtian? It's because we want the entire Jianmen sect to be exterminated!"
"Why did Jianmen push for the expedition to Jishengtian? Because they want to wipe out all of our sects!"
"Although this Yuanlingtian is huge, but... we only need to keep one unified sect! All other forces, go to hell!"
Zhan Kui, the current elder of Senluo Sect, Wanxiang, said coldly: "The one behind Jianmen has sent down so many Supreme Immortal Edicts. Do you think he is kind enough to let the cultivators of Yuanlingtian ascend? No, this is a peach that kills three warriors with two peaches, which is to entice people to fight to the death!"
Luo Huasheng swallowed his saliva and said in shock: "Then, Senior Brother, we should..."
Wan Xiang slowly sat back on the throne and said in a cold voice: "Let's add fuel to the fire and stir up trouble. Let's kill as many people as possible... But we must be cautious and careful, don't provoke Jianmen, and don't expose ourselves in advance."
"Then... we just have to wait and see what happens."
"Let's wait. Wait patiently..."
Luo Hua agreed, bowed deeply to Wanxiang, then turned and left the hall.
The Senluo Sect announced that it had only seven or eight supreme elders, most of whom were in seclusion and practicing hard all year round, and there were two or three old monsters whose lifespans were almost exhausted and who were struggling to survive.
In the Senluo Sect, the only Half-Step Heavenly Man Realm cultivator who can go out and take charge of daily affairs is Luo Hua, a 'rookie' who has just achieved this breakthrough less than a hundred years ago... All the affairs of such a large sect are piled on Luo Hua's head. Luo Hua can only run for his life. How can he have the time to rest?
Wanxiang's fingers gently pressed the armrests of the throne, making a loud 'boom' sound.
He whispered to himself, "These guys actually caused such a big commotion... We have to keep a close eye on them. They attracted the wolf cubs because they wanted them to bite people. Don't let the wolf cubs grow up too fast and bite their masters. That would be no fun at all!"
"However, if we want to add fuel to the fire, Luo Hua alone may not be able to stir up too much trouble."
"It's time to get some exercise."
