Volume 5: The Sorrow of the Setting Sun Chapter 344: The Four Great Families
Three days later, Mu Yi followed Lu Mo to a deserted land.
There are yellow sand and gravel everywhere here, not a blade of grass grows, and when the strong wind comes, there will be sandstorms that cover the sky and the sun, like a doomsday scene.
With such a harsh environment, naturally no mortals live here, and the vitality of heaven and earth here is also very ordinary, and there are no natural materials or earthly treasures, so immortal cultivators would not choose the cave here.
However, in such a desolate place, there are actually many immortal cultivators gathered here, and all of them are in the Nascent Soul stage without exception!
?? Immortal cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage are already at the top level in the world of immortality. Each one of them is a very important figure. They have vast magical powers and are called "half-immortals"! On weekdays, it is extremely rare to see these infant elders even in those large sects, but at this moment, there are actually more than a dozen infant elders gathered in a desolate desert. It is a strange thing that has not been seen in thousands of years!
¡°How could such a desolate place be the Forgetting Valley where the Divine Vine grows during the day?¡± Mu Yi secretly wondered in his heart.
Before he fell from the air, he quietly activated his Yin and Yang Divine Eyes. A faint golden light flashed in his eyes, and he immediately saw something.
"What a brilliant space restriction! It's similar to the Purple Sun Seal in the Demon Sea!" Mu Yi secretly thought. He saw that not far behind these infants and elders, there was an almost imperceptible layer of space restriction. It seemed that there was It is an endless desert just like the surrounding area, but it actually hides another mystery!
"Haha. Both Lu Daoyou and Mu Xiaoyou are here. We have been waiting for a long time!" Master Liu saw the two coming. Immediately take the initiative to greet you.
"Fellow Daoist Liu, I've been waiting for a long time!" Lu Mo bowed his hand in return and Mu Yi returned the same gift, saying "See you Daoyou Liu".
Liu Zhenren was slightly stunned, because Mu Yi did not reveal his bloodline cultivation. On the surface, he seemed to be just an alchemist at the peak of the Yuan Dan stage not long ago. Mu Yi also called him "Senior Liu", but now he calls him "Fellow Taoist". Master Liu was a little surprised, but he didn't take it seriously.
Liu Zhenren introduced to Lu Mo and Mu Yi the infants and elders who had stood up. Among these people, except for the ancestor Huanxia who they already knew, the rest were elders of the four major immortal cultivating families of "High Mountains and Flowing Waters".
Mu Yi also heard about it. The resources of the immortal cultivating world in the human continent have been basically controlled by these four major cultivating aristocratic families for tens of thousands of years. In addition, these four major aristocratic families secretly and deliberately suppress the development of other forces. Therefore, the existence of the human race in the Nascent Soul stage basically comes from the four major aristocratic families. among.
Ancestor Huanxia is also a relative of the "Liu family" among the four major families. Otherwise it would be difficult for him to get involved in this circle.
"These are the three elders of the Shan family, Shan Bu Po, Shan Bu De, and Shan Bu Li; this Wangyou Valley has been guarded by the Shan family for generations."
"These four are the elders of the Shui family, Shui Endless, Shui Wuming, Shui Wuxin. Shui Wuxin; the Shui family has many talents, this Wuxin fairy. He condensed the Nascent Soul before he was two hundred years old, and he is a peerless genius!"
"These two are the rising stars of my Liu family. They have just condensed the Nascent Soul not long ago. They are as magical as jade. Come and meet Fellow Daoist Lu and Fellow Mu!"
Lu Mo and Mu Yi exchanged polite words with these people, and Mu Yi also addressed them as Taoist friends.
The elder of the Shui family named Wuxin Fairy was a female cultivator with a heroic look on her face. After Master Liu introduced her, she smiled and said: "Haha, Fellow Daoist Liu is so humble! Liu Jia Tianqi and his wife are extremely rare practitioners. The dual cultivation techniques of heavenly men and earthly women, when they join forces, are obviously one step ahead of immortal cultivators of the same level!"
Liu Zhenren said with a smile: "Fairy Wuxin has been overrated! The Shui family's Four Ultimate Formations are the most brilliant method! With four elders joining forces to set up the formation, even the existence of the Nascent Soul out of the body will probably be difficult to resist!"
Shui Family¡¯s first elder, Shui Wuwu, the old man with a white beard more than a foot long, twisted his beard and shook his head and said: ¡°The conditions for the arrangement of our Shui Family¡¯s Four Ultimate Formations are extremely harsh and difficult to arrange. They are only used as treasures of the clan. , just as the last means of defense! Speaking of formations, among the four major families like us, the Shan family is naturally the most outstanding!"
These people complimented each other a bit, seeming familiar and polite.
When Liu Zhenren introduced Lu Mo and Mu Yi, he was relatively simple. He only said that they were cultivators who knew how to use the Zhurong Magic Lamp. They were also restricted in the human world. Now only by joining forces can they break through the shackles of the seal. , "escape" from this world.
The aura that Lu Mo exudes is very good, obviously not inferior to Liu Zhenren and others, so these people are also very polite to Lu Mo; but Mu Yi seems to be just a Yuan Dan level alchemist, and they are already regarded as Taoist friends. It's very "promoting", so??Most people just nodded to Mu Yi lightly, not being polite at all.
Mu Yi didn¡¯t take it seriously either. He noticed that the cultivation levels of the infants and elders here were also different.
This is something he can only realize after he has advanced to the Divine Vein Stage and become more sensitive to the vitality of heaven and earth and the aura emitted by cultivators. If he was just a Danshi, then to him, each of these infants and elders would be unfathomable, and he would not be able to distinguish between high and low.
Now, Mu Yi can see that among these people, Ancestor Huanxia, ??Zhenren Liu, Shui Family Grand Elder Shui Endless, and Shan Family Grand Elder Shan Bupo, these four people have the highest cultivation level and are already in the Immortal Infant stage!
The Nascent Soul stage Yinglao can also be divided into three small realms according to the realm, the Mortal Infant stage, the Spiritual Infant stage and the Immortal Infant stage; these three realms all describe the strength of the Nascent Soul. Because when cultivators reach the Nascent Soul stage, all their magical powers are concentrated in the Nascent Soul. How strong their Nascent Soul is, how high their strength is!
??Even, when the Nascent Soul cultivation is complete and reaches the peak of the Immortal Infant stage, you can leave the physical body and become a Yuanying out-of-body, which is the so-called immortal cultivator in the out-of-body stage.
When you reach the out-of-body stage, you should be able to break through the restrictions of the laws of heaven and earth, break through the void, and ascend to the immortal world. However, this human world is very special. It was sealed tens of thousands of years ago. It has been difficult for these immortal cultivators to reach the state where the Nascent Soul leaves the body. , let alone ascending to the fairy world!
Seeing so many infants and elders at once, including many of the top beings in the human world in the fairy infant stage, was definitely something Mu Yi could not imagine before. You must know that as a Danshi, Mu Yi can hardly meet these infant-level beings; it seems that it really depends on the level of cultivation that he can come into contact with what kind of people.
Mu Yi secretly thought, no wonder Lu Mo hopes that he can come here. If there is only Lu Mo on the side of the immortal cultivator, it will be too weak. When the strength of the two sides is too unbalanced, it will be difficult to achieve the so-called "cooperation" ", often disguised as "coercion" or "command".
The four major immortal cultivating families in Gaoshan and Liushui are called by their surnames. Now the "Shan Family", "Liu (Liu) Family" and "Shui Family" have all come here, but the "Gao Family" is missing.
Master Liu said: "I have already informed the Gao family. I will wait here for a while. If the Gao family doesn't come, we will enter the Wangyou Valley on our own!"
An elder of the Shui family said slightly displeased: "Humph, the Gao family has ignored us for many years, and I will definitely not participate this time! We and other three major families have all tried their best, and the Gao family only wants to collect Is it any good?"
Shui Family's eldest elder, Shui Wuwu, said hurriedly: "Third brother, don't talk nonsense. No matter what you say, the Gao family is the head of the four major families including us. You must not offend with your words."
The Great Elder of the Shan Family chuckled "Hey" and said, "I think what Fellow Taoist Qingqing said is quite reasonable. Maybe it's time to reorganize the rankings of the four major families!"
Master Liu also said: "In another twenty years, there will be a reunion ceremony for our four great families once every five hundred years. By that time, I am afraid that the Gao family will give up the throne of the first family! Those who are capable will occupy it. Take a look, the Shui family has the most hope!"
Shui Wuwu shook his head and smiled: "How dare you, how dare you, Master Liu's Heaven-bearing Rising Sun Technique has been completed, and the supreme sky fire he has cultivated is so domineering, I am probably no match for him! Brother Bupo's Mountain and River Technique, every time he casts the spell, the sky will collapse and the earth will crack, it is extremely powerful , is also unfathomable, I believe that the battle for the first family depends on who can win between Zhenren Liu and Brother Bupo!"
As a few people were talking and laughing, Mu Yi faintly heard that although the four major families were closely related, they also competed and ranked among themselves. Presumably, the false reputation of the first family was also inevitably related to the division of resources. ; The four major aristocratic families use this method to encourage each aristocratic family to compete with each other and maintain their fighting power, so as not to gradually lead to destruction.
As for the Gao family, there seems to be some distance between them and these three major families, probably because of their decline, and the other three families do not think highly of the Gao family.
While he was talking, a thunder suddenly flashed across the sky. Everyone was stunned and looked around, only to see a bolt of lightning piercing the sky.
Amidst the sound of thunder, the lightning flashed and turned into a very young monk. He had handsome eyebrows and an extraordinary temperament. Lu was also quite handsome, but compared to this man, he was a little less handsome. Full of heroic spirit. As for Mu Yi, he can only be regarded as having a handsome face, which looks very ordinary compared to this man.
This person¡¯s youth and appearance would not shock these people in the Nascent Soul stage, but the aura exuding from this person made everyone secretly shocked, and some even had their faces changed drastically.
"I am Gao Jinglei, temporarily appointed as the elder of the Gao family. I have met all of you Taoist friends!" The young man saluted everyone and took out a glittering golden token, which was the token of the Gao family among the four great aristocratic families."My Taoist friend is not a direct descendant of the Gao family, right? Why have I never heard of it?" Master Liu asked with a slight frown.
The young man smiled slightly and said: "What Mr. Liu said is right! I am the adopted son of the Gao family's great elder two hundred years ago. I have been practicing in seclusion until recently. I officially took up the post of the Gao family's elder. This time The elder has important matters and it is not convenient to come here, so I have sent you here to assist all fellow Taoists!"
