Chapter 509: Gambling War (3)
"If it were not for the cultivation of Tianshan Sect, the younger generation would not be able to advance to the Divine Travel Period smoothly, and they would not be able to obtain some advanced skills. Now that this sect is in some trouble, the younger generation should do their best," Li Muran said seriously.
These few sentences are all pretending. In fact, Li Muran has indeed gained a lot of benefits in the Tianshan Sect. Not only has he broadened his horizons, advanced to the Divine Travel Period, but he also obtained the "Reverse Immortal Art". It is this technique that created Li Muran's true self-immortality.
Li Muran has always been a person who will repay his grudges and benefactors. Even if he does not intend to stay in the Tianshan Sect, in this case, he will help Tianshan Sect win the competition.
"Very good" The ancestor Xingchen praised, and he sighed and said, "You have just returned to this sect, and I'm afraid you are not very clear about the situation. In fact, we must not lose this bet battle."
"In the past hundred years, the Western Demon Sect has become more and more prosperous, and has recruited disciples. A large number of young monks nearby have entered the Western Demon Sect to practice demon skills, which makes the quality of disciples in the Qi and Vein Stage of this sect much worse than before. If we lose a small loss or draw in this bet battle, it doesn't matter. Once we lose a lot, our morale will plummet. In the long run, more late-stage artists will choose to enter the Demon Sect's practice. In another hundred or two years, I am afraid that without the need for the Demon Sect to attack, this sect will wither and become the territory of the Demon Sect. At that time, the cultivators here will probably have to practice demon skills."
The ancestor Xingchen said here, looking worried.
Li Muran's heart moved and said, "I'll say boldly and bluntly. I think that the rise and fall of the sect is common. If hundreds of years later, the cultivation world here is controlled by the Demonic Sect and all the monks practice demon skills, it's no big deal. Whether it's the Demonic Sect or the Right Way, they are all for improving their cultivation and becoming immortals, why do you have to distinguish so clearly whether it's the Demonic Skills or the Right Way, as long as it can help you practice immortals and achieve enlightenment, why can't you practice them all?"
The ancestor Xingchen shook his head repeatedly and said, "You only know one of the words, but not the other. If the magical martial arts are just ordinary means to improve the cultivation and supernatural powers of monks, then it would be fine. There is indeed no need to object and reject it. However, there are some extremely cruel methods in the magical martial arts that are despised by our righteous path."
"In the battle of Tianshan more than 200 years ago, the Supreme Elder of the Flame Soul Sect tried to massacre the city in Liangzhou City and use millions of mortal souls to refine a powerful magic weapon. This practice is a method strictly prohibited by this sect, and it is also the biggest difference between our righteous path and our evil path. The true person does not want Xiliang Kingdom to fall into the hands of the Demon Sect, not to oppose the practice of demon skills, but to worry that if there is no right path power, the Demon Sect can do whatever he wants. At that time, the billions of mortals in Xiliang Kingdom will probably suffer from the devil."
Li Muran was shocked when he heard this. He nodded and said, "What the ancestor taught is that although there are many methods in the righteous sect, not very bright, at least he dare not kill millions of mortals in such a singular manner."
"Yes," said the ancestor Xingchen: "In the Middle Earth power, there are righteous forces to check and balance, and those demon sects dare not act too recklessly; but in this Xiliang country, if this sect does not persist, the demon sect represented by the Western Demon Sect can do whatever they want. What I am worried about is not only the rise and fall of a sect in Tianshan Sect, but also the life and death fate of countless mortals in Xiliang."
Speaking of this, the ancestor Xingchen sighed and said, "After practicing to the realm of the True Body Stage, we should take these things lightly. However, the life span of the original real person is not much, and we have been trapped in the middle-stage bottleneck of the real person for many years. It is impossible for us to have the opportunity to break through and ascend. The original real person is most afraid that after he becomes a person, no one in Tianshan Sect and Xiliang Kingdom will be the leader, and he cannot compete with the Demonic Sect after he becomes a person."
"The two personal disciples cultivated by Benzhen Ren, decades ago, one was secretly killed by the Demon Sect, while the other betrayed the Demon Sect and defected to the Demon Sect and left the Demon Sect. The reason why Benzhen Ren agreed to this bet was because the situation was forced to fight; on the other hand, he also wanted to take the opportunity to select the potential Dharma-level cultivators in the sect, cultivate them well, to inherit the mantle of Benzhen Ren, and to shoulder the important task of maintaining the Tianshan Sect and the billions of mortals in Xiliang Kingdom.
After saying this, the ancestor Xingchen looked at Li Muran with great meaning, and his earnest meaning was clearly stated.
"The ancestor's efforts will definitely not fail." Li Muran said.
The ancestor Xingchen nodded slightly, and he changed his subject and returned to tomorrow's gambling battle.
"Are you any concerns or doubts about tomorrow's gambling war?" asked the ancestor Xingchen, "If there is any point that needs guidance from this real person, just tell me."
"Not yet." Li Muran shook his head and said, "When I was traveling in the Middle Earth power, I encountered some demon cultivators and had some understanding of the methods of demon cultivators."
Seeing that Li Muran seemed to be confident, the old ancestor Xingchen nodded with a smile: "Then it's better if there is nothing else, you can go down and prepare. As for the treasure, although the real person has a few good-quality magic weapons in his hands, if they are temporarily handed over to you, the effect will definitely be far less than that of the natal magic weapons you have practiced for many years, and they won't take it in one go many times."
"Yes" Li Muran respectfully bowed and retreated, and then returned to his cave.
On the second day, the gambling battle continued, and this was the sixth gambling battle.
In the first five bet battles, the Tianshan Sect won one game first and then lost four consecutive games, so the momentum of the onlookers of the Tianshan Sect was not as high as that of the previous few days.
On the other hand, the monks of the Western Demon Sect, from Deputy Master Liu, all looked arrogant and even more arrogant. Even a few of the demon cultivators who seemed relatively low-key gave people an unfathomable feeling.
Under the instructions of the ancestor Xingchen, Li Muran fell on the competition platform. Deputy Sect Master Liu glanced at Li Muran, then sneered with a sneer on his lips, "Xue Zimo, go and meet this person."
"Yes" a young demon cultivator responded and flew to the competition platform.
"He is actually a mid-stage cultivator in the Dharma Act." Li Muran frowned slightly. He used his divine thoughts to investigate clearly. His opponent was a mid-stage demon cultivator in the Dharma Act, but his magic power was quite profound, which was different from a late-stage cultivator in the Dharma Act.
Deputy Sect Master Liu's behavior immediately made the high-level cultivators of the Tianshan Sect look dark. Even the old ancestor Xingchen flashed a hint of anger in his eyes.
"It's too much. They obviously have demon cultivators in the late stage of the Dharma image that have not yet fought, but they actually sent only one mid-stage Dharma image that is deliberately despising Senior Brother Li." Shu Zhongyu's face turned red with anger, and she wanted to fight for Li Muran.
If Li Muran wins this competition, he will also bully the small by the big one. After all, it is not a great thing to defeat a cultivator in the middle stage of Dharma Priest by using the cultivation of a late-stage Dharma Priest monk. And if he loses a move, the Tianshan Sect will lose face, Li Muran will become infamous, and even be recorded in classics and bear a thousand-year-old infamous reputation.
The Western Demon Sect has won four consecutive games, and even if they lose this competition, they are still indifferent. Therefore, for the Western Demon Sect, if they lose, they will not suffer much loss; if they win, they can completely destroy the reputation of the Tianshan Sect.
Li Muran thought about it and knew the intention of the Western Demon Sect. He sneered in his heart: "What a sinister trick."
"Nephew Li, please compete carefully, don't be distracted." Old Ancestor Xingchen said lightly. He seemed to be worried that Li Muran would be angry and lose his sense of responsibility.
Li Muran smiled slightly and nodded.
For Li Muran, who has experienced many battles, he can calmly deal with the moment of life and death. This kind of trick is naturally impossible to disturb his mind.
"Please" Li Muran bowed to his opponent.
The young demon cultivator Xue Zimo lazily raised his hand and replied, but he was too lazy to say more about the word "please".
Li Muran waited for a while, but the other party did not take action first.
Generally speaking, when cultivators with different cultivation levels fight and fight, the party with lower cultivation levels takes action first to show respect; if this demon cultivator refuses to take action first, it means he will not take Li Muran seriously.
"What an arrogant boy" Li Muran sneered in his heart. Although he was in a good mood and was not easily motivated, he couldn't help but get slightly angry at this time.
Since the other party did not take action, Li Muran took the lead without hesitation.
As soon as he opened his mouth, a green rainbow sword flashed out and turned into a crescent moon sword with a dazzling radiance. At the same time, Li Muran's figure suddenly flew forward. He took the soul-chasing sword into his hand and slashed at Xue Zimo with one sword in the air.
The jade in the book "Sixth-level Magical Weapon" was both surprised and happy.
He could see at a glance that the natal magic weapon sacrificed by Li Muran was a sixth-level magic weapon of extremely high quality. Generally speaking, it is already very good for late-stage monks in the Dharma image to have a fifth-stage magic weapon as their natal magic weapon. Li Muran actually took out a sixth-stage magic weapon. With this, he could stand out among late-stage monks in the Dharma image and his strength was one step ahead of the same level.
The ancestor Xingchen was also a little surprised. Although he could see that Li Muran had a treasure and was not very talented, he did not expect Li Muran to be able to come up with a sixth-level magic weapon. Generally speaking, only some core children in the true body stage have the opportunity to own a sixth-level magic weapon. Li Muran, a casual cultivator, recently returned to the Tianshan Sect, was actually able to come up with a sixth-level magic weapon, which was somewhat unexpected.
"No wonder he is confident. It turns out that he has a very high-quality natal magic weapon." The ancestor Xingchen secretly pointed out
When Deputy Sect Master Liu and other demon cultivators saw this knife, they frowned. Even the demon cultivators who kept bowing their heads and kept silent and were extremely low-key, they couldn't help but look up at Li Muran in a little surprised.
Xue Zimo's face changed even more, and the faint contempt of him disappeared in an instant.
