226. [Gamble on the Fate of the Sect] (Ask for Monthly Pass!)
When Lu Xun first came to Tianquemen, he thought this sect was a bit strange.
There are too many short people among the senior leaders and elites of this sect... too many to be normal.
Could it be that when Tianquemen selects disciples, they like to pick Wu Dalang type?
But this is a bit unreasonable. Normal people's tastes should not be so unique.
Maybe just like the disciples of Wuji Mountain are all expressionless, there are so many short people in Tianquemen, maybe there is a problem with the practice?
Lu Xun was actually half right at the beginning. It is indeed related to the practice of Tianquemen, but it is not because of the practice that caused the dwarfism.
The main reason is that there is an old ancestor who is in a closed-door retreat in Tianquemen!
The third generation leader of Tianquemen, the peak of the sixth realm, Tianhe Shangren!
Tianhe Shangren was about to die, but he was unable to break through to the seventh realm.
As long as he can enter the seventh realm, he can prolong his life and lead Tianquemen to a further step.
Before his death, Master Tianhe used the secret method he obtained in the ruins and began to close his eyes.
But his closed eyes were different from Yan Li's. Yan Li closed his eyes because he had problems with his practice and became possessed.
But Master Tianhe forced himself to leave his last breath.
The practice method of Tianque Sect was derived from the ancient witch clan, which made his own blood contaminated with blood power.
Everyone has no blood relationship, but the power in the blood is the same.
Master Tianhe forced himself to leave his breath, and every year he needs a disciple under the age of ten with good talent to supply him with blood power.
It's a bit like... supplementing nutrition for a vegetative person.
This kind of supply will not affect the child's life span, but it will be weak for a period of time, and then the child will not grow tall.
This is the secret of Tianque Sect, only the head and elders know it, and these children who have provided for the ancestors when they were young are also trained as the next generation of high-level people.
Therefore, these old dwarfs in Tianque Sect have done this.
This is not "I am for the ancestor" anymore, this will last for several generations.
When the blood power is accumulated enough, Tianhe will try to break through the seventh realm.
What Mo Beihe is doing now is to burn all his blood to supply the ancestor in exchange for the ancestor's short-term appearance!
The price is simple, that is Mo Beihe's life.
A former beggar, a practitioner of the fifth realm, exchanged his life for the life of a sixth realm strongman, plus the favor of the Demon Sect's junior master uncle... This is Mo Beihe's small bet for big after sitting at the gambling table!
Liu Ying is not a fool, he naturally sees the difference in Mo Beihe at this moment.
He became alert and slashed forward with the giant blade in his hand.
How could the elders around not know the purpose of the headmaster? Although they were sad, they still tried their best to block Mo Beihe.
"Hu——" A breeze blew across the top of the mountain.
The spear in Mo Beihe's palm suddenly stood up.
It was held in the hands of an old man.
The gun shot out like a dragon, and the dragon carving on the gun seemed to come alive.
A dragon roar spread from the top of the mountain, and Liu Ying was shocked and stepped back several steps.
"Ancestor!" Everyone said in unison.
The old man was wearing clothes similar to Mo Beihe. His right hand patted Mo Beihe's shoulder lightly, directly dissolving his blood burning.
Mo Beihe, who fell to the ground in a mess, had bloodshot eyes. He coughed up blood and roared: "Ancestor, if you stop me from casting spells, you will... you will... cough cough cough!"
The old man was Tianhe Shangren. His face was very white, the kind of abnormal white.
Then, the whole person was slowly changing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
His spirit was getting better, and his complexion became a little ruddy, like the last glimmer of a dying person!
He waved his hand gently, indicating that Mo Beihe didn't need to say more.
The sound of copper bells came from around Tianhe Shangren's body.
He put his hand into his bosom and took out a copper bell that was exactly the same as the one Mo Beihe had.
There was actually a pair of these copper bells!
Therefore, when Liu Ying went up the mountain and showed his killing intent, Tianhe Shangren already knew about it.
…
…
Tianhe Shangren held a spear in his hand and took a few steps forward, blocking the people of Tianque Gate and protecting them behind him.
The night wind blew, and his white hair danced with it.
"Half a step to the peak." He looked at Liu Ying and made an evaluation.
The strong man who was about to enter the peak of the sixth realm was indeed an existence that Mo Beihe and others could not resist.
But he was different.
The same spear, held in Mo Beihe's hand, was very different from that held in his hand.
This spear was called [Lonely Bravery]. When using it, it was important to make a concerted effort and could not retreat!
Every time the spear was fired, there would be bursts of dragon roars, like a dragon coming out of the world!
The giant blade in Liu Ying's hand collided with the spear, the old man kept moving forward, and Liu Ying kept retreating.
The spear went down from top to bottom, and the tip of the spear was like a stream of light in the dark night.
Liu Ying raised the giant blade to resist, but his knees could not bear the weight, and he fell heavily to the ground, smashing a huge deep pit!
One was a burly man, and the other was a skinny old man.
The latter was pressing step by step, and now the power of a spear made the burly man kneel directly on his knees!
"Half a step to the peak, after all, it is only half a step to the peak."
The old man swept the spear, and Liu Ying flew backwards. A layer of purple light armor appeared on his body, but it was directly shattered by this shot.
Tianhe Shangren did not make any reservations, because he did not have much time left.
He did not accept the burning power of Mo Beihe's blood. Now, he is just a last gasp before entering the gate of hell.
To be honest, as the ancestor of Tianque Sect and the third head, he has received the blood supply for so many years with peace of mind.
Because he is the ancestor of the sect, the disciples of Tianque Sect are able to enter the gate of cultivation, more or less, they must have received his grace.
There is a saying in the folks, that is, "the ancestor rewards food to eat", which is almost the same meaning.
But since he has received this offering and has been able to survive for so long, it is natural for him to break through the gate at this time.
If the sky falls, he, the tall man, will support it.
This short man wanted to support it first, but Tianhe Shangren did not agree.
After being closed for so long, Tianhe Shangren actually knew that he had no hope of breaking through in this life.
Such shrinking is just to keep himself alive.
There is great fear between life and death.
Even if you know that there is no hope, you are still afraid of death.
This fear of death has lasted for so many years.
But when the copper bell in his arms rang, everything in the past seemed to come back to him.
He grew up in this sect, practiced here, inherited the position of the headmaster here, and swore here that he would spend his life protecting Tianque Sect and let Tianque Sect regain the glory of the time when Tianque Master was there!
Although he was in seclusion, he would be sober for a moment every year when he received blood supply.
He would find out what happened in these years and how Tianque Sect was developing.
He watched the heads of generations kneel in front of him, kowtow to him, and say that they were ashamed of the ancestors of all generations.
Tianque Sect has been going downhill, and every generation of heads took over, almost all of them took on the will of the previous heads.
The burden is getting heavier and heavier.
It seems to be able to suffocate people.
But the continuation of a sect is like this, whether it is a famous sect or a small or medium-sized sect.
This is responsibility, and this is also inheritance.
When Master Tianhe first entered the sect, he showed his talent for cultivation and clearly felt the eager expectation in his master's eyes.
He is the third head of Tianque Sect. He knows very well that when Master Tianque passed away, his master, as the second-generation head, was under a lot of pressure.
But the continuation of a sect is like this. The continued prosperity of a sect requires the efforts and protection of generations.
Sometimes, a sect is a bit like a small country.
When he received blood supply a few months ago, Master Tianhe learned that Tianque Sect had connected with the Demon Sect.
At the moment when the copper bell rang, he knew the cause and effect. As a strong man at the peak of the sixth realm, everything in the sect was under the perception of his spiritual consciousness.
Therefore, it is not only Mo Beihe who is making a choice, but also Master Tianhe.
Tianque Sect is now facing a battle that gambles the fate of the sect.
And the price is simple, the death of an ancestor who only has one breath left and has no hope of breaking through, or the death of a contemporary head.
Mo Beihe made his own choice, and so did Master Tianhe.
He laughed wildly, as if to say to these juniors: "I've been shut up for so long, I'm tired of it!"
"Today's battle, let's have fun!"
This old man has been afraid of death for hundreds of years, and has been lingering for hundreds of years.
At this moment, he just wants to fight to his heart's content!
The long spear [Guyong] seems to be able to tear the entire night sky. The spear comes out like a dragon, and a fierce and flamboyant dragon roar spreads from Tianque Gate, and the sound spreads throughout the Three Thousand Mountains area!
The dormant dragon has been awakened.
A roar shakes thousands of mountains.
"In one's life, one should die!!!"
