No hope for eternal life

Chapter 231 Two Ancestors

However, all three of them have been confirmed to be eliminated, so it depends on whether they can wake up in time and save their lives.

Not long after, Ji Juan came out of the illusion, which meant that he did not sink into the illusion, repented, and saved his life.

But Chen Qun and Si Deng were not so lucky. They were both completely trapped in the illusion. They stayed in the illusion for a thousand years without changing their ways and thus lost their lives.

Mu Changsheng felt quite sad about Chen Qun's death. Now thinking back to Xia Rong's previous warning to Chen Qun, it was indeed very reasonable, because a person like Chen Qun who harbored hatred would be too easily misled by illusions.

Perhaps just as Yang Wuque said, for Chen Qun, who is full of hatred, death is the best relief.

"Well, today is really a good day worth remembering. Suddenly, we have two new junior brothers and one new junior sister." Xia Rong said happily: "Junior brother Xiao, please send Mu Xun and Ji Huanan out. Junior brother Wang and I will take the three new junior brothers and sisters to pay respects to the sect master."

Before leaving, Mu Xun bowed respectfully to Yang Wuque and said, "Goodbye, sir. I don't know when we will meet again."

Then, Mu Xun said to Mu Changsheng: "Aren't you going home to pick up your parents? When you go home, please tell my mother that I'm going to go out for a walk and won't be back yet."

Mu Changsheng punched Mu Xun lightly on the chest and said, "What's the point of talking about troubles between you and me? If you miss me in the future, come to Lingshan Sect to find me anytime."

Mu Xun smiled knowingly: "Then you must work hard to cultivate, or else your realm will be inferior to mine."

"Look what you can do." Mu Changsheng laughed.

Afterwards, the two groups of people separated. Mu Changsheng and others, led by Xia Rong and others, came to a snowy peak.

This peak is unique, towering into the clouds, obviously much higher than the other peaks, yet the whole mountain is plain and unpretentious, with only a thatched cottage on the top.

"This is the Patriarch Peak, which is dedicated to worshipping the three ancestors of our two major sects." Xia Rong introduced solemnly.

After saying that, Xia Rong led a few people into the thatched hut. Gao Chong, the law enforcement elder of Lingshan Sect, whom Mu Changsheng had met before, was in the hut.

In addition to Gao Chong, there was a woman in white in the hut, holding a snow-white sword in her hand and with her back to the crowd.

"This must be Sect Master Xiao." Mu Changsheng thought to himself, guessing the identity of the woman in white.

Then, Mu Changsheng noticed that there were three portraits hanging on the walls of the hut. The portrait in the middle was of a heroic woman in a white dress holding a green sword.

The two portraits on the left and right are of a man and a woman, both of whom are radiant and lifelike.

"Master, the three new disciples have been brought here." Xia Rong said respectfully to the woman in white, verifying Mu Changsheng's guess.

Xiao Niansheng did not turn around, and directly began to introduce the three portraits: "The portrait on the right is the Great Emperor Su Ling. In the past, the Tianling Realm was rich in resources and was in constant turmoil. The major forces competed with each other in the Tianling Realm for power and profit, and even deliberately kept the Tianling Realm in a state of chaos. It was not until the Su Ling Patriarch came into being and unified the Tianling Realm that peace was achieved in the Tianling Realm. It has been nearly 50,000 years since then."

"The portrait in the middle is of Feng Rui, the leader of our Tianling Sect. After the death of our ancestor Su Ling, the leader inherited his aspirations and protected the Tianling Realm. Nine thousand years ago, he founded the Tianling Sect on the first sacred mountain in the Tianling Realm, hoping to gather all the like-minded people in the nine realms together to jointly safeguard fairness and justice in this world."

"The portrait on the left is Yang Wuji. In the Nine Realms War ten thousand years ago, Senior Yang Wuji sacrificed his life to save billions of lives in the Heavenly Realm. But before his death, Senior Yang Wuji divided his unique skills into two parts. He passed on the most powerful part to the Tianling Sect that we are about to establish. We should never forget this passion for preaching, because what he passed on was not only the secrets of Taoism, but also the heavy responsibility of defending Taoism."

Upon hearing this, everyone present looked solemn and expressed the highest respect to the portraits of the three sages.

Mu Changsheng's eyes fell on the portrait of Yang Wuji holding a blood sword, and he couldn't move his eyes away. Yang Wuji in the portrait was approachable, with a smile on his face. His gentle appearance made people feel good about him.

But it was such a modest gentleman who, together with Xiao Busheng, the father of Sect Leader Xiao, accomplished an unprecedented feat and was hailed as the greatest man in ancient and modern times.

After Xiao Niansheng finished the introduction, he finally turned around and faced Mu Changsheng and others, saying with a smile: "I am very happy to see the three of you pass the test at the same time this time, because you broke the record of the two sects combined. This is the only time that three people have passed the test at the same time. This is also a good start, which shows that people's hearts are yearning for justice. At the same time, you are also welcome to join Lingshan Sect. We will work together to protect the hard-won peace in this world. However, before that, you must first learn your skills, equip yourself, and not slack off."

"We will follow the Patriarch's instructions." Mu Changsheng, Yang Wuque and Ji Leyao said in unison and saluted respectfully.

Xiao Niansheng nodded slightly and continued: "Back then, when the sect master founded the Tianling Sect, the clan leader of the Ji clan found our sect master and hoped that the sect could use the words "benevolence and righteousness" as the sect's founding purpose. The sect master thought about it for a long time and finally declined the kindness of the clan leader of the Ji clan. He set the eight-character purpose of 'learning from heaven and earth, and supporting the world', and warned the disciples in the sect to learn their skills first, and then do chivalrous deeds, and to judge the situation and not ignore it. In addition, the word heaven and earth in "learning from heaven and earth" is all-encompassing, including the changes in the weather and the earth, the rules of all things, and the sentient beings in the nine realms. The human race and the demon race are no exception. The high and low realms should not be underestimated. Among them, those with high realms have their own ways of survival, but those with low realms also have their own ways of survival. Both are worth learning and understanding."

"We will follow the sect leader's instructions." Mu Changsheng and the other two bowed respectfully again, especially Mu Changsheng. He came from the lower class and he truly agreed with the sect's eight principles.

After Xiao Niansheng finished speaking, he distributed a storage bag to each of Mu Changsheng and the other two, and then explained: "There are gold and silver coins in the storage bag. The silver coin represents one point of sect contribution, and the gold coin represents ten points of sect contribution. Each of you will receive one thousand sect contribution points, which is your entry reward. The reward is not much, but it is more of a token of your heart. The sect will provide you with the broadest platform for cultivation, but you must also be self-reliant. These one thousand sect contribution points can also be regarded as the starting capital for your entry cultivation."

"One thousand sect contribution points are not that many." Mu Changsheng sighed in his heart at the generosity of the sect. One point of sect contribution point is equivalent to one piece of top-grade spirit stone, which is equivalent to a direct reward of one thousand top-grade spirit stones upon entry. You should know that Mu Changsheng had participated in the Six Nations Trial for the Shenfeng Kingdom before, and he had overcome all difficulties and experienced life and death. The reward was quadrupled, and in the end he only got four hundred top-grade spirit stones. The gap was so huge that it was staggering.

"Don't spread the news about the entry reward, so as to prevent outsiders from coming here and losing their lives in vain." Xiao Niansheng instructed the three people again. She didn't want others to join the sect just for the thousand top-grade spirit stones.

"Yes, sir." Mu Changsheng and the other two said hurriedly.

Xiao Niansheng then took out a golden book and a golden pen, handed them to Mu Changsheng and the other two, and reminded them: "The three of you should write your names in the sect's roster."

Upon hearing this, Mu Changsheng and the other two followed suit and wrote their names on the golden book.
