Pawn Crossing the River

Qi Xuansu couldn't help but wonder, if Yao Zu's plan succeeds, there are no accidents in the Zhang family, and the three Taoists each get a "Heart of the Immortality Stone", then will the three Taoists really go to war as Yao Zu hopes? After all, Sandao is not a fool. Can he really dance according to Yao Zu's "command"?

After Qi Xuansu thought about it carefully, he felt that it was really possible.

Because as conflicts increase and differences deepen, the tacit understanding and consensus between the three channels is rapidly disappearing. In other words, the three channels lack the basis for mutual trust.

To put it bluntly, a chain of suspicion has formed between the three parties.

Even if one of the parties maintains their sanity and suppresses their ambitions, it cannot guarantee that the other two parties will also maintain their sanity and suppress their ambitions. Even verbal guarantees cannot be completely believed. After all, the oath of Luoshui is still fresh in our minds. .

As the saying goes, strike first to gain strength and strike later to suffer disaster. If you don't do it and someone else does, you will suffer a loss.

The best defense is to attack. Even if you don't have the ambition to control the Taoist sect, you still have to take action just for your own safety.

What's more, there is such a big temptation in front of you, what if it happens?

As one of the three major forces, who doesn't have some ambition?

No matter which party, it is impossible to judge whether the other two parties will maintain a tacit understanding and stability first.

No matter which party, it is impossible to judge whether the other two parties will launch an attack in advance.

No matter which party, they cannot give up their desire for the position of Grand Master.

From this derivation, one side is the suspicion of being unable to guarantee one's own safety, and the other side is the huge gain after success. Even if the leaders of the three paths are smart people, they will definitely embark on the opposite path. This is due to human nature.

This is also Yao Zu’s plan

Why the plan was only revealed today is not a coincidence, but because before the Sixth Generation Grand Master, the Three Paths were not divided. There was quite a lot of tacit understanding and consensus, and there were even powerful figures like the Fifth Generation Grand Master on it. Pressure, then this chain of suspicion will not be established, and this plan will naturally not be established.

Therefore, the root of the problem does not lie in the three "Hearts of Eternal Life Stone", but in the contradictions and divisions within the Taoist Sect. These three "Hearts of Eternal Life Stone" only play a catalytic and promoting role at best. This reminds me of the saying, flies don't bite seamless eggs.

This leads to the second question.

What is Yao Zu's motivation?

It can’t be just to watch the “fireworks”, right?

Firstly, Yaozu couldn't see it, and secondly, this "firework" was too big. The Taoist ancestors couldn't kill Yaozu in the sky?

The information Qi Xuansu received was still too little, and it was really impossible to guess all of Yao Zu's motives. He could only guess from his own perspective.

If Qi Xuansu handled this matter from Yao Zu's perspective, then the purpose would be nothing more than to seize power.

After all, Qi Xuansu only pursues this point. With his current cultivation level, he still can't understand the way of heaven.

However, this position of the Yao family happens to be a party involved and is at the core of the three disputes. It is difficult to stay out of the matter. It is impossible to be an oriole or a fisherman, so how can they seize power?

If it's just to split the earth and make the king, then the Yao family is already the king.

Qi Xuansu still couldn't figure it out.

More importantly, this plan has now gone awry, or it can be said to have changed. Neither the Zhang family nor the Yao family received the "Heart of the Immortality Stone", and Li

The family got it, and Qi Xuansu, who was originally unrelated, also got it, and was pushed to the forefront. The original tripartite confrontation turned into a confrontation between the two camps.

What is even more suspicious is that the lineage of the Grand Master who should have wavered or remained neutral decisively ended up siding with Qi Xuansu. Instead, the Yao family, which has always represented the Quanzhen Tao, sided with the lineage of the Grand Master. The ecological niche is beginning to sway from side to side. Rather than sitting on the fence and watching, it is more like balancing.

This is somewhat consistent with the oriole and fisherman guessed earlier.

Qi Xuansu had a clear understanding.

From Yao Zu to Yao Yueyan, and then from Yao Yueyan to the current Earth Master Yao Ling, these people are definitely engaged in conspiracy, and it cannot be said that they are all conspiracies. There are conspiracies mixed in, such as the speculation about the three "Hearts of Immortality Stone", That's a conspiracy. Even if you know it, you can't do anything about it because you are suspicious of each other whether to fight or not.

So what role does the Zhang family play in this?

Although Qi Xuansu is the son-in-law of the Zhang family, Qi Xuansu does not believe that the Zhang family is so innocent and harmless, just as the Heavenly Master is by no means as gentle and kind as he appears.

In Qi Xuansu's view, the Heavenly Master has understood the true meaning of Tai Chi from Taishang Daozu, and is accustomed to using softness to overcome hardness and follow the trend.

Over the past hundred years, the Zhang family has actually been relatively low-key. The reason why people feel that it is not low-key is because the Zhang family is so big. They are a giant. Even if they do nothing but sleep on their stomachs, others cannot turn a blind eye.

The really high-profile one is the Li family, which is also their consistent style.

When the Taoist sect was first established, Xuansheng made a simple division of labor among the three Taoists. Taiping Tao was responsible for the human world, Quanzhen Tao was responsible for creation, and Zhengyi Tao was responsible for creation.

spirits.

The effect has also appeared. Taiping Dao, who is responsible for the human world, wears a pair of trousers with the Daxuan court. Quanzhen Dao, who is responsible for creation, created the "Heart of Immortality Stone". What is Zhengyi doing?

Together they created the descendants of the gods.

Master Yan Tianshi personally came forward to save the descendants of the gods.

In the end, the descendants of the immortals succeeded in taking over and became the leaders of Zhengdao, who are today's Celestial Masters.

There is also a descendant of immortals, the sister of the Heavenly Master, Zhang Wuhen.

Is there a possibility that Zhang Wuhen is an idle son of the Heavenly Master? It was a show deliberately staged by the Heavenly Master, and even Zhang Wuhen himself did not fully know the truth.

This is not groundless speculation. With the Celestial Master's cultivation, if he really wants to kill someone, there is no way that he can't be killed.

After Zhang Wuhen escaped from trouble, he attached himself to the Daxuan court. Is there a possibility that at a certain critical moment, Zhang Wuhen will become the winner in the battle between Zhang and Li?

This is also hard to say.

Shi Hengbo had been looking at Qi Xuansu quietly, and it was only then that he interrupted Qi Xuansu's thoughts: "Congratulations."

Qi Xuansu came back to his senses, and after thanking him, he looked at this disciple of Yao Zu again.

Shi Hengbo said nothing and showed no emotion.

Qi Xuansu wanted to ask something else, but after thinking about it, he gave up.

Talking back to Qi Xuansu himself, he has entered the stage of pseudo-immortal this time, and the totem corresponding to the zombie immortal has finally reached the ninth level, which is the first totem to reach full level.

This is the totem of Wu Peng, and Wu Peng is the great witch who represents the earth and controls the power of the earth.

The so-called power of the earth is the energy of the earth.

Therefore, Wu Peng is very good at setting up formations.

At the beginning, the Six Enlightenment Wizards entered the Five Elements Cave, an affiliated cave of Kunshan Cave, to refine the elixir of immortality and guard the Kunlun Cave.

When there was a conflict between God Lu and Wu, it was Wu Peng who presided over the arrangement of the formation, gathering the power of six great shamans, including Wu Yang, and other followers, using the Five Elements Cave as the grand formation, and the Lu who would be equivalent to the Second Tribulation Immortal was born. My God is standing outside.

In the end, it was because of the internal strife between the other five great witches and Wu Yang that God Lu Wu found the opportunity to break through the formation, which was not a crime of war.

If the ancient witch sect had not been divided and Wu Peng had still stayed in Lingshan Cave, arranging and presiding over various formations, it would have been difficult for the Ancestral Master to capture Lingshan Cave.

As Qi Xuansu finally filled Wu Peng's totem, Qi Xuansu felt the power from Wu Peng.

Strictly speaking, it should be some skills.

The technique of controlling and fixing the earth's energy without using external objects, as well as various formations from the ancient witchcraft, were all instilled into Qi Xuansu's consciousness by totems.

This is somewhat similar to the Buddhist initiation method, which eliminates the need for learning.

The advantage is that it will be effective immediately, but the disadvantage is that it loses various possibilities in the future. For example, Xuan Sheng integrates various techniques and even creates a method that directly leads to the path of immortality. That is something he doesn't want to do.

However, Qi Xuansu was very satisfied. He did not have the qualifications of Xuansheng, so it would be good if he could learn what his predecessors left behind. Without these opportunities and encounters, it would be difficult for him to become a heavenly being.

Among Wu Peng's many formations, there are three fundamental formations, which are of course not the "Three Refining Formations" corresponding to the three major evil objects. These three formations do not have clear names. This is also the tradition of ancient witchcraft. You can tell from the names of the Eleven Witches. They are all single characters, not as complicated as they are now.

Qi Xuansu temporarily selected several names based on their characteristics or relevant past deeds.

name.

The first is the Five Elements Formation, which is the formation used by the Six Enlightened Wizards to resist God Lu Wu in the Five Elements Cave. The earth is at the center and is connected by earth energy. After the formation is in operation, the five elements are interdependent and flow endlessly.

Daomen also has similar formations. When the Five Elements Mountain incident occurred, the Daxuan court set up such a large formation to surround the entire Five Elements Mountain and block the space. The Taoist sect could only remove the formation points bit by bit, otherwise the pseudo-immortal stage would banish the immortal. Can't even get in.

However, Wu Peng's Five Elements Formation goes a step further and does not require so many formation points, only five cores are enough. The Six Enlightened Witches also had one more person at that time who could be used as a mobile force. Qi Xuansu calculated that if he reached the immortal stage, he would have three three-corpse incarnations, one soldier-relief incarnation, and his own body, so there would be exactly five people, who could form a formation by one person.

The second one is the Lingshan Formation, which is the formation that protects the Lingshan Cave. The main function of this formation is to continuously transform puppets within the range of the formation. Not only dead bodies, but also people with slightly lower realms may also be forcibly transformed. When the witch cult army fights in a formation, it will hit more and more people.

This is somewhat similar to the "Three Refining Formations", but it's not exactly the same.

Qi Xuansu vaguely remembered seeing it in the recollection of Lingshan Cave. It may be that there was a lack of professionals to preside over the formation. Anyway, after the Ancestral Master personally took action, the ancient witch sect began to collapse. For Qi Xuansu, it is of little use for the time being. If he leads the army personally, it may be of some use.

The third is the "Eternal Life Stone" formation, which is not used to fight the enemy, but a special formation used to refine the "Eternal Life Stone". It is also the second generation "Eternal Life Stone" improved by the Enlightened Six Witches. this means

Qi Xuansu can refine the "Eternal Life Stone" by himself like the Shaman King and Chen Shuhua.

But materials are a big problem. This kind of "immortality stone" does not need to be filled with human life, nor can it be filled with the flesh and blood of wild beasts. It can only be filled with various heavenly materials and earthly treasures produced in Kunlun Cave. Qi Xuansu does not have this authority yet.

If he can become the Grand Master, there will be no obstacles.
