I studied abroad in modern times

Master Tongming's words made Zheng Fa look puzzled.

"A catastrophe is about to happen, and we, the Hundred Immortals Alliance, don't know what the future will be like... We want to keep some bloodline disciples in the Nine Mountains Realm. If we really encounter a catastrophe..."

Master Tongming said to him, his tone was calm.

Zheng Fa understood in his heart - this meant that he wanted to stay behind.

After all, the Great Freedom Demon Sect has a great reputation, and there is also the calamity of spiritual decline. No one is sure whether they will be safe and sound.

The background of Taishangdao is great, but how can the great catastrophe be so simple?

Who dares to say that he will definitely survive?

For example, Lord Tianhe...right?

These people naturally need to make more preparations.

Zheng Fa believes that the Nine Mountains Realm is not their last cave.

He then looked at the several Nascent Soul Masters behind Master Tongming. Their faces were all a little nervous.

It is conceivable that many of the people who want to enter the Nine Mountains Realm are the descendants of these people.

Zheng Fa thought for a while and then said: "I understand what the Master meant, but the situation in our Nine Mountains Realm is like this now..."

He pointed behind him.

The main hall where the headmaster's ceremony was to be held was simple, with white stone walls without any decoration. The hall was empty, with no tables placed, and even the wind passing through the hall had a sour smell.

Master Tongming twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Does Master Zheng want... the spiritual stone?"

Zheng Fa always felt that he wanted to ask for food...

"The Master said that, that's a huge misunderstanding of me! Do I love spiritual stones so much?" Zheng Fa said aggrievedly.

"..."

Master Tongming said nothing.

Just look at him.

The same goes for several other Nascent Souls beside him.

Zheng Fa turned around and looked at Senior Sister Zhang and Master...then looked at them helplessly and took a step back.

No, who am I doing this for!

"The relationship between the Nine Mountains Realm and the Hundred Immortals Alliance. If I take advantage of it during this crisis, who would I be?"

Seeing that Zheng Fa's words were sincere, Master Tongming finally seemed to believe him: "Then what do you want?"

"I mean, the Nine Mountains Realm is in a difficult situation now. If the disciples of the Hundred Immortals Alliance cannot adapt, it will be unsightly."

Zheng Fa's words were sincere and not actually a rejection.

After the disciples of the Nine Mountains Sect entered the Nine Mountains Realm, their lives were indeed not as good as before. As for the matter of repairing the palace, due to the special rules of the Nine Mountains Realm, many methods cannot be used. Sometimes these disciples have to do it on their own. .

The repair work is proceeding much slower than usual.

"This is the right thing to do. I can choose on my own."

Both of them understood in their hearts that Master Tongming's decision to allow his disciples to join the Nine Mountains Sect not only meant to leave a way out - it also meant to make good friends.

After all, Zheng Fa and Senior Sister Zhang both have the ability to transform into gods.

To put it simply, those people are not very important protons, but more of a sign of mutual trust between the two parties.

Sending some out-of-touch young men to make both parties unhappy is a mistake.

"Secondly, I also want the Master to send some people who know how to cultivate immortality."

"Um?"

Master Tongming was slightly thoughtful, as if he was thinking.

There was also some color change on the faces of those Nascent Souls.

The various skills of cultivating immortals are like the Talismans of the Nine Mountains Sect, the Alchemy Way of the Qingmu Sect...

These things... although they have little to do with cultivation, they are also the lifeblood that several sects rely on for their survival. Zheng Fa's words naturally arouse people's suspicion.

Zheng Fa explained: "Of course I don't mean to ask for the secret methods of each sect in the Hundred Immortals Alliance. I just want to find some disciples who understand the basic methods to jointly build the Nine Mountains Realm."

After saying this, these people felt that it was more reasonable.

It is true that talismans alone cannot maintain a civilization of cultivating immortals.

Master Tongming nodded slowly and said, "Of those disciples, I will try my best to select those with special skills."

Zheng Fa also felt a little happy in his heart.

Of course he knew that the disciples sent by these people would not have any master-level alchemists and weapon refiners.

Maybe even someone who knows a little bit about it.

After all, these people entered the Nine Mountains Realm and were at the mercy of Zheng Fa. How could they dare to really send people they valued?

But compared to others who care about secret methods, Zheng Fa pays more attention to some basic theories - as for secret methods, in his opinion, they are just derivatives of basic theories.

It cannot be said that it is useless, but it is by no means the foundation.

Of course it is good to have a secret method, but without a secret method, it would not have as great an impact on him as other monks.

For example, he didn't use Qianhe Sect's secret method very much. At most, he only used it to explore the principles.

This is also the biggest difference between Zheng Fa and the monks in this world regarding these knowledge——

Most monks seek secret methods, power, and results.

Zheng Fa likes to establish systems to analyze and understand.

There was no expression on his face, and he didn't seem to pay much attention to these disciples.

Only Senior Sister Zhang glanced at him, with a smile on her lips, looking even happier than him.

…

The time for the Headmaster's Ceremony is coming soon.

Zheng Fa stood at the door of the main hall, facing the jade steps outside the hall. On the jade steps from top to bottom, there were more than a thousand disciples of the Jiushan Sect standing.

The golden elixir disciples are in front, headed by Senior Sister Yuan. From the golden elixir disciples downwards, the other disciples are arranged in two rows according to their cultivation level, with foundation building in the front and Qi training in the back.

Their eyes followed Zheng Fa, with complicated emotions in their eyes.

On the steps, the Nascent Souls brought by Master Tongming to watch the ceremony stood on the left side.

Patriarch Jiushan, Master Pang and Master Huang stood on the right side, all with solemn faces and no sign of neglect.

Master Master stood in front of Zheng Fa, holding a whisk in his hand.

Senior Sister Zhang next to him was holding a gold-reddish wooden tray. On the wooden tray, a gold silk Taoist robe was neatly folded, and a jade order was placed next to the Taoist robe.

Master Yuan's expression became even more serious. He flicked the whisk, and the thin strands of the whisk fell on Zheng Fa's shoulders.

"Jiushan disciple Zheng Fa."

His voice was different from the past. It was like chimes chiming in unison, and jade chimes striking each other. It was clearer and more powerful, and echoed throughout the nine islands of Tiangong.

"exist."

"Would you be able to keep going on the right path and not stain the name of your ancestors?"

"Can hold on!"

"Can you uphold justice and uprightness and not hurt the disciples' hearts?"

"Can hold on!"

"Can you persist in your ambition to be brave and diligent and never fall into the clouds?"

Zheng Fa raised his head and looked at Master and Senior Sister Zhang.

"Can hold on!"

Master Yuan laughed and said: "Shan!"

He bowed to the Patriarch of Jiushan beside him and said loudly:

"Grandmaster, I have a disciple, Zheng Fa, who has extraordinary qualifications, both political integrity and talent. He is deeply loved by everyone in the sect and is worthy enough to inherit the position of head and continue the Taoist tradition of the Nine Mountains for thousands of years."

The Patriarch of the Nine Mountains has also returned to his original appearance today, with a solemn expression and a solemn tone: "Yes! I will grant you the Golden Thread Taoist Clothes and the Order of the Nine Mountains."

Head Yuan stood up, picked up the golden silk Taoist robe from the wooden tray held by Senior Sister Zhang, unfolded it in the air, and gently draped it on Zheng Fa.

Then he held the jade ring high and walked to Zheng Fa.

Zheng Fa took the Nine Mountain Order and held it in his hand.

Head Yuan took Senior Sister Zhang and retreated to Grand Master Jiushan.

The five Nascent Souls of the Jiushan Sect now held their hands together and bowed to the new head.

Zheng Fa returned the courtesy politely.

After he stood up, all the disciples under the leadership of Senior Sister Yuan saluted him.

Zheng Fa also returned the gift meticulously.

The third ceremony is for the Master Tongming and others who are observing the ceremony.

After the three ceremonies, the traditional Jiushan headmaster ceremony is over.

Unexpectedly, a chorus of shouts suddenly came from Paradise Island.

The people present were not ordinary people, especially the Master Tongming and others who were watching the ceremony. Their strength was even more extraordinary, and their hearing and eyesight were beyond ordinary people.

They looked towards where the sound came from and saw who made the sound at a glance.

I saw people standing in front of every house on Paradise Island, supporting the old and the young, saluting in the direction of the main hall, and shouting words such as longevity for the leader.

Zheng Fa was a little stunned.

Entering the Nine Mountains Realm, there are many complicated things.

He also doesn't care about others, so the mortals on this Paradise Island don't have much interaction with him.

Why they respected him so much, he couldn't figure out.

Zheng Fa looked at Senior Sister Zhang and thought it was arranged by Senior Sister.

Senior Sister Zhang shook her head slightly at him, moved her lips slightly, and said to him: "They are just weak, but they are not ignorant."

Zheng Fa was stunned.

Suddenly I understood what Senior Sister Zhang meant - as a high-ranking person, he might feel that he had done nothing, but his thoughts and ideas would unconsciously affect the entire Jiushan Sect.

What it brings to these mortals is a completely different life.

In particular, these people know a little more about the world than ordinary mortals, and they have gone through many hardships to reach the Nine Mountains Realm.

When Zheng Fa saw the figures lying on the ground, he also bowed deeply towards Paradise Island.

Only then did the leader reveal a smile and said loudly: "The ceremony is completed!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Senior Sister Yuan cheered and transformed into Qingluan, with cold green flames burning on her tail wings.

The Golden Crow hiding behind her also let out a long cry at this time, and flew up with her, the golden flames around it even more gorgeous.

Two birds fly happily on the nine islands of Tiangong. Two flames, one green and one gold, shine in the air, painting a beautiful picture.

The children on Paradise Island were even more excited. Not only were they not afraid, they pointed at them in the sky and chattered with laughter.

…

Looking at this scene, Master Tongming looked a little surprised and a little confused.

He turned his head and looked at the Nascent Souls on the side.

Several people looked at each other, and there was a thought in their hearts - the bloodline disciples sent should not be too ordinary. Although they could not send their most favored relatives, they could not pick some crooked ones. date.

Master Tongming also knows that they actually don’t know why they feel this way...

If we really want to clarify, it is probably because as Avatar and Nascent Soul, they have seen the rise and fall of countless sects.

Although they dare not say that they can tell the future fate of a certain sect at a glance, there are always some things that they understand:

For example, before a sect declines, there must be constant internal fighting and disputes.

Just like the previous Hundred Immortals Alliance, it has reached a point where it cannot do anything without changing.

And when a sect rises, most people will unite as one, and thousands of people will speak out, just like the Jiushan Sect today.

The matter of sending his proud disciple here suddenly reminded Master Tongming of the so-called skill of following the dragon...

It felt inexplicably appropriate.

Only now did he feel real pain about the Nine Mountains Sect's departure from the Hundred Immortals Alliance, and his heart was full of regret for not being able to control the Hundred Immortals Alliance earlier.

"well……"

He suddenly let out a long sigh.

Several Nascent Souls on the side couldn't help but glance at him curiously, feeling surprised:

Master...are you thinking of something sad?
