In those years when I was a mortal and a demon

The old monkey put the dry tobacco pole aside, rummaged around in the small bag for a while, took out two stones and a ball of dry moss, and finally put it there and touched it with stones.

I don’t know whether it was because he fell down just now, or because the old monkey is too old and has no strength. The two rocks collided for a long time, but no sparks appeared.

Seeing this, Lu Yuan pinched his fingers, and a small flame condensed on his fingertips.

"You're quite discerning." The old monkey dropped the flint, quickly put the pot on the pipe and started smoking.

Lu Yuan and Brother Tiezi did not disturb him and waited quietly for the old monkey.

After taking several big puffs in succession, the old monkey hummed in great comfort for a while before looking at Lu Yuan and the other two.

"Tianxing Sect, Shenbing Sect, and Wanmiaoguan, which of these three sects are you from?"

Lu Yuan and Brother Tiezi were both shocked when they heard Old Monkey ask this question. Could it be that Old Monkey had some connection with those three sects?

"We are monks from the Luoyun Sect." Lu Yuan thought for a while and decided to tell the truth.

"Luoyun Sect? I've never heard of it. But this also shows that the three sects are really a bunch of losers, and they can't even defend their ancestral land." There was some anger in the old monkey's words.

"The Yuanwu Kingdom is now dominated by the devil, and the three sects of the Tianxing Sect have been driven to the Nine Kingdoms Alliance to seek refuge. This has nothing to do with our Luoyun Sect."

"I should have thought of it. Hundreds of years ago, all the restrictions in the ancestral land were opened. Then not long after, a large number of creatures suddenly appeared in the ancestral land. Someone must have broken in.

I originally thought that the three factions suffered a catastrophe and were all killed in the battle. Unexpectedly, these spineless things actually ran away! "The old monkey became more and more angry as he talked, and even choked on the cigarette and started coughing.

Hearing this, Lu Yuan and Brother Tiezi exchanged glances. It seems that this old monkey has been here a long time ago and did not break in later. And judging from the meaning in his words, it seems that he belongs to the three sects of Tianxing Sect.

It's just that the old monkey's soul is so strong that almost no one in the south can match it. If the three sects of the Tianxing Sect really had such a great god sitting in charge, the Six Demonic Sects would not dare to take advantage of the Yuanwu Kingdom.

"I wonder if senior is..." Lu Yuan asked tentatively.

"Since you dare to come here, can't you guess my identity?" The old monkey sneered.

"I know, senior should be the sacred beast raised by the Tianxing Sect!" Brother Tiezi blurted out first.

"My God, your uncle!" Upon hearing this, the old monkey was so angry that he hit Brother Tiezi with a cigarette pole.

Brother Tiezi suddenly thought that the old monkey was going to take action. Opening his mouth, the innate five-element flag flew out. On the other side, Lu Yuan was also prepared and directly sacrificed the Purgatory Tower.

The old monkey didn't expect that the two young men in front of him looked honest and acted without any hesitation. He quickly put away the cigarette rod, first looked at the Purgatory Tower above Lu Yuan for a while, and finally focused on the five-pole formation flag above Brother Tiezi's head.

"The Innate Five Elements Flag, it seems that you have been plundering the ancestral land a lot."

"We did collect a lot of things, but does it have anything to do with you?" Lu Yuan sneered, secretly mobilizing his magic power, and prepared to take a gamble and take this old monkey into the fantasy world.

"Hmph! As the last great elder of Shenmiao Sect, do you think it matters?" When the old monkey said this, his cloudy eyes suddenly flashed with light.

"You are the last great elder of Shenmiao Sect!" Brother Tiezi's face was filled with shock.

"What, you don't believe it?" the old monkey said calmly.

"Dare you ask me your senior's name?" Brother Tiezi looked at the old monkey up and down and asked.

"Tian Xingzi!"

"That's right, disrespectful." When Brother Tiezi heard the words 'Tianxingzi', he immediately put away the innate five elements flag and signaled Lu Yuan to put away the magic weapon as well.

"Be careful of it lying. Monkeys are generally smart, and what they tell may not be the truth. Maybe it dug Tianxingzi's cave, so it knows a little bit about it." Lu Yuan reminded.

"No, no one would impersonate the name Tianxingzi. And don't you think the three words Tianxingzi sound a bit familiar?" Brother Tiezi asked Lu Yuan.

"Familiar? I don't remember where I heard of this person." Lu Yuan frowned.

"You seem to know me very well?" On the other side, Old Monkey looked at Brother Tiezi and asked doubtfully.

"Tian Xingzi is the last great elder of Shenmiao Sect and the first generation ancestor of Tianxing Sect. I learned all the formation methods from Tianxing Sect, so I naturally understand them."

"Tianxingzi, Tianxing Sect! That's it!" Lu Yuan suddenly realized.

"The Shenmiao Sect doesn't have it in its hands. It's equivalent to being a sinner of the Shenmiao Sect. That's why I said no one is willing to pretend to be one." Brother Tiezi approached Lu Yuan and whispered in his ear.

Although his voice was small, the old monkey obviously heard it. He sighed, started smoking again, and became silent.

"Senior, atonement, I didn't know you were a demon cultivator, so I just made a mistake." Brother Tiezi cupped his fists and apologized.

"Demon cultivator? I was originally a human cultivator just like you. But then I accidentally fell into the formation and became what I am now." The old monkey responded angrily.

"Wrong into the formation? Didn't the senior sit in the ancestral land?" Brother Tiezi was surprised.

"How can I, a sinner, be qualified to be a transformation in the ancestral land..." When the old monkey said this, his tone became a little sad.

"Senior, why should you blame yourself? No sect can last forever. Besides, if others want to leave the Shenmiao Sect and go it alone, you can't stop them." Brother Tiezi persuaded him kindly.

"Little guy, you don't know the inside story. The Shenmiao Sect was indeed on the verge of disintegration back then. But the final fatal blow was done by me." The old monkey said with self-blame in his eyes.

In ancient times, within the Shenmiao Sect, which had been passed down for thousands of years, there were many contradictions among the formations, weapon refining, and talismans. Especially the sacred object of the Zhen Sect, the 'Magical Spirit Hammer' left by the founding ancestor, has been lost for many years, which makes the sect's cohesion worse and worse.

Tian Xingzi, then the great elder of Shenmiao Sect, worked hard to resolve the matchmaking many times. Instead of improving everyone's relationship, it actually made the trend of parting ways more obvious.

Seeing that the higher-ups in the sect were so ignorant of the overall situation, Tian Xingzi also became angry. So much so that what he did later was considered as light as a broken jar.

Tian Xingzi was the first to leave the Shenmiao Sect and founded the Tianxing Sect with his fellow monks.

However, Tian Xingzi soon regretted his decision, because this move really confused both the weapon refiner and the talisman.

Originally, everyone's idea was not to completely break away from the Shenmiao Sect, but to find a hilltop to form their own lineage. In the final analysis, they still eat in the same pot.

However, as the great elder, Tian Xingzi started anew and established his own company, which almost destroyed the Shenmiao Sect's cauldron.

When the Weapon Refining and Talisman Masters saw this, they simply disbanded the Shenmiao Sect on the spot, and each established the Shenwei Sect and Wanmiao Temple.

So the Shenmiao Sect, which was prosperous for a while, disappeared in the long river of time.
