Taiping Inn

In the eighth year of Tianbao, excluding the Golden Tent National Master and Zhang Luxu, there were a total of eight people who were immortal in the world, namely: "Great Sword Immortal" Li Daoxu, "Heavenly Sword" Qin Qing, "Demon Sword" Song Zheng, "Saint King" Tan Taiyun, "Earth Master" Xu Wugui, "Mr. Qingping" Li Xuandu, "Leader of Confucianism" Long Lao Ren, "Great Heavenly Master" Zhang Jingxiu.

By the first year of Taiping, there were only two immortals left in the world, Qin Qing and Li Xuandu. From the perspective of the number of immortals, it can be said that the vitality was greatly damaged.

After forty years of recuperation, the number of immortals gradually returned to normal levels. In addition to Li Xuandu and Qin Qing, Bai Xiushang, Qin Su, Li Taiyi, Yan Feiqing, Yao Xianglian and others successively entered the realm of immortality. On the contrary, Zhang Luanshan and Shangguan Wan, because their cultivation was too easy and their foundation was unstable, they have been unable to enter the realm of immortality. However, the two made completely opposite choices. Shangguan Wan chose not to give up the position of the Great Immortal, while Zhang Luanshan chose to give up the position of the Great Immortal and began to concentrate on retreat in order to break through.

As for Li Xuandu, his cultivation was also obtained, but the Yuanying of the ancient earth immortals and Li Xuandu's inner demons were obviously not comparable to the "Eternal Life Stone" that the enlightened six witches had poured countless efforts into. Moreover, Li Xuandu has often retreated over the years in order to stabilize his realm and eliminate hidden dangers and deficiencies.

In any case, Li Xuandu is still the undisputed number one in the world, followed by Qin Qing, who holds the "Chuan Guo Xi". After all, the other immortals have just entered the realm of immortality and are still far from these two.

Among them, Bai Xiushang and Yao Xianglian cannot be completely regarded as the five immortals of Taoism. Let's not talk about them for now, just talk about Qin Su, Li Taiyi, and Yan Feiqing.

Qin Su inherited the strengths of Li Xuandu and Qin Qing. She is undoubtedly a terrestrial immortal. The innate five Tais she obtained are "Tai Su Xuan Gong", which corresponds to the "Su" in her name.

Li Taiyi's road to immortality was quite bumpy. He was too deeply involved with the Qingqiu Mountain Cave Heaven, which caused some problems for himself. However, he finally entered the realm of immortality with his unparalleled talent. The innate five Tais he obtained are Li Daoxu's "Taishi Sword Qi". In order to congratulate, Li Xuandu gave Li Taiyi the immortal sword "Kou Tianmen" in the hope that he could carry forward the swordsmanship of his mentor.

As for Li Xuandu, he also has "Su Wang" in his hand, which is not inferior to "Kou Tianmen".

Li Taiyi, who got "Kou Tianmen", is even more powerful. Over the years, he has appeared on behalf of Li Xuandu several times and done many great things. Gradually, some people call Li Taiyi "the Great Sword Immortal". However, Li Daoxu was the teacher of the Grand Master and the Great Immortal after all, and no one has forgotten the existence of Li Daoxu so quickly, so Li Daoxu, who has ascended for many years, is called "Old Sword Immortal", which is the benefit of the descendants striving for honor.

Speaking of descendants striving for honor, the old Tianshi Zhang Jingxiu, who is also crowned with the word "old", is also the same. Although the great Tianshi Zhang Luanshan failed to enter the realm of immortality, the old Tianshi's favorite closed disciple Yan Feiqing gave the old teacher face. After losing all his cultivation, he broke through and stood up, and entered the realm of immortality without any obstacles. Not only did he replace Zhang Luanshan as the Great Immortal of Zhengyi, but he also took charge of the immortal sword "Tianshi Male and Female Sword" on his behalf.

Today's Yan Feiqing and Li Taiyi are like Zhang Jingxiu and Li Daoxu back then, one in the south and one in the north, complementing each other. Although Yan Feiqing is not surnamed Zhang, he is a disciple from the Zhang family, so he is still called Zhang in the South and Li in the North.

Over the years, Li Xuan rarely appeared in person, often in seclusion, and Qin Su returned to the state of being in love with mountains and rivers in his early years, ignoring worldly affairs. Shangguan Wan was weaker than the two in cultivation, so when it came to Taoism, it was often these two great immortals who were really awesome.

Because of this, everyone said that the Queen Bai Xiushang's vision in choosing sons-in-law was unique in the world, and both sons-in-law actually entered the realm of immortality, which was rare in ancient and modern times.

As for Shangguan Wan, although he was not as good as Yan Feiqing and Li Taiyi in realm and cultivation, he was the most valued by Li Xuan because he presided over the "Eight Divisions" project. In addition, Quanzhen Taoism also had an immortal Yao Xianglian, which was not weaker than the other two. Taoism was still a three-legged situation.

The specific division of labor among the three great immortals was also different.

Shangguan Wan's main energy was focused on the "Eight Divisions" project. At least eight months a year were spent in the Five Elements Cave Heaven and Kunlun Cave Heaven. Recently, he rarely appeared. Li Taiyi's main focus is on the secular world. After all, he has been the admiral of the East China Sea Navy for quite a long time and is more familiar with these things.

As for Yan Feiqing, his focus is on various ghosts and gods.

Lu Wushen once said that the world will eventually move from "Taiyi" to "Taiji". At the end of "Taiji", the world will only have the ultimate truth and will no longer tolerate any falsehood. Magic is just "making the false true", so it will usher in the end of the law era.

At the same time, the major caves will "land" one after another and transform into the world.

This process can be regarded as the "last glimmer" of magic before death.

In other words, if "magic" is regarded as a person, then in the previous era of Li Xuandu and others, this "person" was sick and half-dead, so the realm of immortality was almost the ultimate in the world. But now it is back to the last glimmer, so this "person" is like a recovered disease, which means that many immortals will emerge in the world in the end.

For a hundred years of human life, the last moments of life are only a short period of time.

But for the entire human world, the last moments of life will last for hundreds of years.

There is no doubt that these hundreds of years are a turbulent era. There will even be the emergence of the second-tribulation earthly immortals such as the Heart Learning Saint. Even Li Taiyi, Yan Feiqing and others have entered the realm of immortality, which is also a harbinger of the opening of this era.

Along with it, there are many returning ancient gods and ancient immortals.

For example, Taiyin Zhenjun and Wu Luo among the Ten Witches of Lingshan.

Immortals have three deaths. The first death is the decay and collapse of the golden body. This is just a false death, just like the river is cut off and the lake is dry. As long as there is new incense and wish power injected, the golden body can be reshaped in the kingdom of God; the second death is the collapse of the kingdom of God. This is real death, but it has not died out. There is still a little spiritual mark in the dark. As long as someone still remembers this immortal, there is a chance to return again; the third death is that everyone has forgotten this immortal, then even the last mark will completely dissipate, and he will die no more. From this point of view, immortals are more difficult to eliminate than earth immortals, ghost immortals, and human immortals.

Many ancient gods have only died for the first and second time, and have been waiting for an opportunity to return. This dramatic change in the world is their opportunity to revive from the dead.

They no longer need huge incense and vows, but can easily revive in the world by relying on the "last ray of light" of the heaven and earth.

However, they are still very weak after resurrection, and probably only have the cultivation of the heavenly realm. They can only temporarily hide in various places in the world, secretly establish forces, wait for opportunities to harvest incense and vows, and use them to recast the golden body kingdom, and seek to leave the world before the final end of the law era.

For such a dramatic change, if it is still the previous situation, it is natural that each sect will sweep the snow in front of its own door, and many sects that have been weak for a long time may be destroyed because of this.

However, the Taoist sect is completely different now. Li Xuandu attaches great importance to this matter and appoints Yan Feiqing to deal with it with full authority. If there are gods who wreak havoc on the world for their own selfishness, they will be severely punished.

The Demon Well is open again, and the Demon Locking Tower is renovated to welcome new prisoners.

Li Xuandu attacked the first calamity earth immortal and handed over the "Knock on the Heaven's Gate" to Li Taiyi, which was also a preparation for this matter.

In this regard, Yan Feiqing mainly targeted the various ancient immortals themselves, searched for their traces, and sent some immortals who broke the rules into the Demon Well. The various secret societies or sects established by these immortals were cleared by Li Taiyi, who was in charge of human affairs.

That's why Li Taiyi and Zhang Feishan had a conversation.

Li Taiyi didn't care about a case of embezzlement, but Zhang Feishan's wife.

After several secret investigations, he found that Zhang Feishan's wife was likely a resurrected immortal.

It's really a dark under the lamp.

Zhang Feishan was speechless about what Li Taiyi said.

Li Taiyi ordered: "Qiu Shui, keep Zhang Zhenren in custody for the time being and wait for the senior brother to decide."

"Yes, sixth uncle." Situ Qiu Shui responded.

Although the two are not much different in age, they are of different generations.

Li Taiyi turned around and left the Golden Palace, heading straight for Zhang Feishan's residence.

Since the emergence of the "Xuandu Purple Mansion", many real people have settled down in Xuandu, and living here on weekdays is also convenient.

So Li Taiyi arrived at Zhang Feishan's residence in a blink of an eye.

At the moment when Li Taiyi fell from the sky, the entire mansion shook violently, and the water in a pond in the mansion was shaken away by a foot.

"Come out!" Li Taiyi said coldly.

The voice was loud, but it resounded throughout the mansion.

After a moment, a cold and elegant woman in a gorgeous palace dress walked out slowly and saluted Li Taiyi, saying, "Greetings, Great Immortal."

Li Taiyi said indifferently, "You are a senior, I don't dare to accept it."

The woman smiled and said, "I am a human being in this life again, and the past is just a passing cloud. What is there to be afraid of?"

Li Taiyi said, "You think that since Great Immortal Yan is not in Xuandu and the head teacher has no time to take care of other things, you can be fearless and don't take me seriously."

"I dare not." The woman bowed slightly, but there was no fear on her face.

Li Taiyi smiled and said, "Whether you dare or not, the result is the same. I named myself Taiyi, which means Dongjun, and I am here to control you ancient gods and immortals."

After the voice fell, Li Taiyi stretched out his hand with his arms crossed, and clenched his five fingers. A hilt appeared in his palm, and then he drew a long sword from the void.

At first glance, this sword looks ordinary, but if you look closely, you will find that there are all kinds of celestial phenomena on the sword body, such as the sun and the moon rising in the east and setting in the west, the mountains and rivers changing, and the plants withering and flourishing.

It is "knocking at the gate of heaven".

When the woman saw this fairy sword, her face showed a bit of solemnity, and her figure flew up by itself, straight into the sky.

Li Taiyi turned into a mighty sword light and followed closely.

The sword energy was even stronger than that of his senior brother Li Xuandu.

Before Li Taiyi was praised as the "Great Sword Immortal" by his master, he was called "Eastern Emperor" by the world!
