Chapter 443: The Patriarch Becomes a God, Appointed by the Holy Ancestor
Chapter 443: The Patriarch Becomes a God, Appointed by the Holy Ancestor
A blazing Great Sun Fire was burning on the University Island. In the golden flames, the Nine Mountain Patriarch kept screaming, each sound was shrill and heartbreaking.
In this matter, it’s no wonder that the ancestor is fragile.
What Zheng Fa is doing now is almost equivalent to performing surgery on Jiushan Patriarch... without anesthesia.
Thinking of this, he turned to Senior Sister Zhang and said, "Senior Sister, next time let's add an illusion or something. This sounds too miserable."
In the flames, the Nine Mountain Patriarch froze all over and opened his eyes in disbelief. He seemed to have forgotten even to scream and just stared at Zheng Fa. Although he didn't utter a word, his curses were like deafening.
"This isn't... the first time I've been inexperienced, Master. It's not a good time to give up halfway now."
Zheng Fa was also a little embarrassed.
It wasn't so painful for him to change his martial arts technique. The Great Sun True Fire was already a part of his body and did no harm to him.
But the power of this thing cannot be underestimated for others.
Even though the Great Sun's True Fire can break a person and then allow him to stand upright, the process of breaking is real burning.
The Patriarch of Jiushan was silent for a long time, looked around at the Great Sun True Fire that was still burning beside him, and forced a smile on his face to express his understanding.
Uncle Pang and Uncle Huang, who came following the sound, looked at each other for a moment, and their eyes were full of gratitude when they looked at the master.
According to Zheng Fa's plan, they would all be burned.
It's just that the Jiushan Sect's Divine Transformation Technique has not yet been perfected, so it has been put on hold for the time being.
Uncle Pang looked at the Nine Mountain Patriarch, his face couldn't help but be excited, and he couldn't help but whisper to Uncle Huang: "If the Patriarch succeeds, he can be regarded as the first incarnation of our Nine Mountain Sect."
Uncle Huang nodded slightly.
The Jiushan Sect certainly has genuine divine combat power.
The ones who are still protecting the disciples of Jiushan are the Xuehe Patriarch and Jiao Wuji.
But the significance of Jiushan Patriarch's enlightenment is different:
This is the first god transformed by the Jiushan Sect who was cultivated by itself and advanced through its own skills!
It can be said that it made up for the lack of an indigenous deity in the Jiushan Sect.
Needless to say, its importance to the Jiushan Sect is even greater for the two of them.
Looking at the face of the Nine Mountain Patriarch, Uncle Pang and the other man secretly exchanged glances, with the same confidence in their hearts:
The founder was so... innocent and simple, yet he was able to become a god, so shouldn’t their hopes be even greater?
……
Although the Nine Mountains Patriarch screamed miserably, he cooperated very actively and did not resist the Great Sun True Fire at all.
Gradually, many runes on his body melted away in the flames.
As if affected by this, the Nine Mountain Patriarch trembled all over, suddenly disintegrated in the air, and turned into four complex runes.
"Senior sister!"
Zheng Fa shouted softly, and Senior Sister Zhang nodded slightly. A silver light flashed in her eyes. She stared at the four runes and quickly drew on the Nine Chapter Calculation Formation with the Feixian Pen in her hand.
The various symbols in the calculation array gathered and dissipated, and the spirit stones on the ground shone brightly. Within half an incense stick, 30% of the spirit stones quickly dimmed. When the wind blew, they turned into powder and slowly dissipated.
Xie Qingxue on the side was well prepared. With spells flying in her hands, dozens of spirit stones fell into the formation, replenishing the consumption of the Nine Chapter Calculation Formation.
This is the hardest step.
The symbol diagram of the Mountain and River True Shape Talisman is not only complex, but also interconnected, flowing rapidly and endlessly.
If you want to write new symbols into it, you have to seize that fleeting opportunity.
It concerns the life of the Nine Mountains Patriarch, and the Divine Transformation Technique is inherently complicated, so there can be no mistakes.
Zheng Fa and Senior Sister Zhang were naturally extremely cautious.
Therefore, every time before Zheng Fa wrote the talisman, Senior Sister Zhang would input the current situation of the Grandmaster into it and use the Nine Chapters Calculation Formation to deduce it once to see if there were any problems.
Simply put, it is equivalent to running a test run in the calculation array first to see if there are any bugs.
This requires extremely high ability in deducing the Nine Chapters Array.
The consumption of spirit stones is also very high.
The value of the spirit stones used in the deduction of a patriarch's incarnation as a god is higher than any previous research project.
Uncle Pang looked at the Nine Mountains Calculation Formation, which seemed to be burning spirit stones, and couldn't help but show a painful look on his face.
Uncle Huang whispered, "Can't bear to part with it?"
"Who is reluctant? Don't spit blood at me. Zheng Fa is so stingy, but he is not reluctant to give up these few spirit stones." Uncle Pang snorted and said softly, "Don't I understand what the Divine Transformation Method means?"
"Zheng Fa thinks differently from you."
But Uncle Huang glanced at Zheng Fa, with some indescribable emotions in his tone:
"Zheng Fa privately told Wu Yi... In the past, everyone in the Jiushan Sect benefited from the Jiushan Spiritual Vein."
"When he entered the sect, he was blessed with treasures by the master, which enabled him to achieve success."
Uncle Pang was startled and also looked at Zheng Fa.
It seemed that no one expected that the "ruthless" Zheng Fa at this moment actually thought so.
Uncle Huang also looked at Zheng Fa and said softly:
"Qingyang Dao Body, Fu Dao Foundation Building Method... He remembers where his foundation came from."
"If he hadn't been thinking about the master's situation, why would he take the "Immortal Sword Trap" and start to deduce a technique suitable for the master?"
Uncle Pang was silent for a long time before gritting his teeth and saying:
"The one with the surname Yuan..."
Hearing this, Master Huang couldn't help but nod and said, "Pooh!"
The two had known each other for thousands of years, and had been at odds with each other for thousands of years. Yet, today, they actually had a heart-to-heart resonance for the first time.
……
The fire on University Island burned for more than ten days.
When the Great Sun's True Fire went out, the true shape symbols of mountains and rivers in the sky had changed.
The original Mountain and River True Shape Talisman was composed of four separate runes, but now they are vaguely connected into one.
"End?"
Uncle Pang couldn't help but ask.
Zheng Fa nodded and said, "According to Senior Sister Zhang's deduction, there should be no problem."
"The ancestor is now..."
Before Uncle Pang finished speaking, Uncle Huang suddenly pointed to the sky and said, "Thunder Tribulation!"
When everyone looked up, they saw thunderclouds rolling in the sky and dark clouds covering the sky of the Nine Mountain Realm.
"The ancestor is about to transcend the divine calamity!"
Zheng Fa led all the disciples and quickly retreated, saying, "Once the hidden dangers of the spiritual vein master are resolved, the accumulation of spiritual energy will not be a problem."
Before he finished speaking, lightning flashed in the sky and the endless lightning covered the mountain and river true shape talisman.
Zheng Fa, Uncle Pang and others stood in the distance, watching the Nine Mountain Patriarch transcend the tribulation.
Uncle Pang couldn't help but have some worry in his eyes. He asked Zheng Fa quietly, "You know the Thunder Method best. How is the master's ability to overcome the tribulation?"
Zheng Fa looked at the lightning next to the Mountain and River True Shape Talisman and shook his head slightly.
Uncle Pang couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in his heart.
"There is no problem with the thunder tribulation."
Uncle Pang looked a little surprised, and then he heard Zheng Fa say:
"What I'm afraid of is the inner demon tribulation."
Uncle Pang was startled, and immediately understood: "The spiritual wisdom of the Nine Mountain Patriarch before was incomplete after all."
The lightning dissipated, but the mountain and river true shape talisman was still overflowing with spiritual energy.
Uncle Pang breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "It's really not a big problem."
Zheng Fa raised his eyes and looked outside the world. He once again felt the spiritual power coming from the starry sky.
"Inner demon tribulation..." He couldn't help but ponder in his heart, "The Nine Mountain Patriarch also has an inner demon from the outside world?"
This was really beyond Zheng Fa's expectations.
When he was going through the tribulation of his inner demon, he felt that the inner demon might be...himself in a parallel world.
But the Patriarch Jiushan is different. He achieved enlightenment in a different way and is extremely special.
How can there be similar beings in parallel worlds?
Zheng Fa glanced at the Mountain and River True Shape Talisman, then looked up at the sky.
His gaze passed through the Nine Mountains Realm and looked at the starry sky of the Xuanwei Realm.
"looking at what?"
"I think the final answer to the immortal path may be in heaven."
As his understanding of cultivating immortals deepened, Zheng Fa's understanding of Daoguo was actually quite complete.
He also had new ideas about the creation of the world by Venerable Tianhe... He didn't know whether the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor knew the reasons.
"Look! Grandmaster!"
Zheng Fa lowered his head and looked towards the location of the Mountain and River True Shape Talisman, only to find that the four talismans were gone, but there was a strong middle-aged man instead.
He has a square face, but his features look somewhat familiar.
The middle-aged man closed his eyes, his expression changing constantly, as if he was immersed in a dream and unable to extricate himself.
After an incense stick of time, he finally opened his eyes, his gaze blank.
The rays of light emerged behind him.
Golden flowers are falling from the sky, as if in celebration.
"It's done..."
Xie Qingxue, who had been silent for a long time, finally laughed at this moment.
Uncle Pang and Uncle Huang looked at each other, bowed and said, "Congratulations, Grandmaster, on attaining enlightenment and becoming a god!"
The Nine Mountain disciples behind them also bowed their heads and followed He Dao:
"Congratulations, Grandmaster, for achieving enlightenment and becoming a god!"
The middle-aged man seemed to come back to his senses and nodded slightly to everyone.
He flew towards Zheng Fa and Senior Sister Zhang, and when he landed in front of them, he actually bowed to them.
Zheng Fa dodged for a moment and said, "Ancestor."
"I must thank you for your help in achieving enlightenment." Before Zheng Fa could say anything, Senior Sister Zhang shook her head and said, "Grandmaster, don't forget that when I first came to the mountain, you also gave me the true Dharma."
Everyone was stunned. Uncle Pang thought for a moment and suddenly said:
"The only disciples who can climb to the ninth peak are Wu Yi and Zheng Fa, right? Who would have thought... it was these two who helped you, the Grandmaster, escape from the cage? It was truly a matter of fate."
The expression of the Patriarch Jiushan was also full of emotion.
After hearing this, Zheng Fa suddenly turned to look at Senior Sister Zhang and said with a surprised look: "...someone could have thought of this."
"……who?"
"…The original body of the ancestor."
The Nine Mountains Patriarch was stunned, and Zheng Fa continued, "The Nine Mountains Trial may be a chance for the Patriarch to escape from the predicament left by the Patriarch's true body."
Uncle Pang didn't quite believe it: "Can the Grandmaster predict you and Wuyi?"
"Maybe I can't predict it, but... the meaning of the Nine Mountains Trial may be to find a disciple who can help the master escape from trouble."
When Jiushan Patriarch heard this, he looked bewildered and could not speak for a long time:
"The Nine Mountains Trial was...left for me?"
"Maybe."
Jiushan Patriarch thought for a long time, then shook his head slowly and said:
"Whether it's true or not... I've scolded him for tens of thousands of years, but it's all written off."
Senior Sister Yuan came over and stared at the Patriarch of Nine Mountains with a puzzled look.
"Grandmaster, why did you change your face?"
Jiushan Patriarch wiped his face and laughed:
"I did it myself! Not someone else's face! My face!"
"My own face!"
After hearing this, Zheng Fa suddenly understood why Master Jiushan had always been hanging around under Senior Sister Zhang's face.
He didn't want the original face of Jiushan Patriarch, but he couldn't change his own origins.
Only today did he say from the bottom of his heart, I am me.
Senior Sister Yuan obviously didn’t understand. She stared at the Nine Mountain Patriarch for a long time, and suddenly said with disdain:
"Grandmaster, your eyes look like Senior Sister Zhang, and your nose is a bit like Junior Brother Zheng's... If they had a child, it wouldn't look like you, Grandmaster?"
...No wonder it looks so familiar!
Uncle Pang looked at Zheng Fa, Senior Sister Zhang, and the Grandmaster for a long time, muttering quietly, "The relationship is a bit messy."
Uncle Huang nodded silently.
Jiushan Patriarch said confidently:
"I'm most familiar with their faces! Besides, they are now my biological parents, so I don't forget my roots!"
Zheng Fa gritted his teeth and said, "Grandmaster...how about we burn it again?"
He originally thought that the master was reliable!
……
The incarnation of the Nine Mountains Patriarch into a god had a great influence on the Nine Mountains Sect.
The biggest impact was that the Jiushan Sect had its first unique spiritual practice, "The True Form of Mountains and Rivers".
But the benefits don’t stop there.
The Nine Mountain Patriarch who had transformed into a god brought Zheng Fa a big surprise:
"Grandmaster, can you strengthen your spiritual veins?"
"It's not just about strengthening, it's about changing the spiritual veins."
The Nine Mountains Patriarch said proudly: "The 'Mountain and River True Form Secret' is combined with the 'Spiritual Mountain Method'. I am a spiritual vein incarnate. When combined, it can naturally change the direction and quality of the spiritual vein."
Zheng Faxi asked: "Can the concentration of spiritual energy in the Nine Islands of the Heavenly Palace be increased?"
The Nine Mountains Patriarch nodded proudly, and the shadows of the Nine Mountains appeared behind him. Thousands of talismans flew out from the nine peaks like butterflies.
After the emergence of the Pure Tranquility Bamboo, the spiritual energy of the Nine Mountains Realm has been increasing, but the speed is extremely slow.
Now Zheng Fa can feel that the concentration of spiritual energy in the Nine Islands of Tiangong is rising rapidly.
The spiritual energy on the university island alone is five times what it was before.
"If we only focus on the University Island, the spiritual energy here can be improved a lot, but if we expand it to the Nine Islands of the Heavenly Palace, it will only be this much."
"Grandmaster, what do you mean when you say you can change spiritual veins?"
"In fact, it is just to temporarily change the direction of the spiritual veins. Increasing spiritual energy is only part of my ability."
After hearing this, Xie Qingxue sighed: "It is not easy for aliens to achieve enlightenment, but they also have magical powers that are difficult for us to achieve."
Uncle Pang shook his head and said, "In fact, the most useful thing is to increase the spiritual energy of the Nine Islands."
"The speed at which my Jiushan Sect trains disciples will also be much faster."
"Zheng Fa and Wu Yi need to accumulate spiritual power and spiritual energy. The master's ability will be of great help."
As he spoke, Uncle Pang also had a smile on his face:
"So, the ancestor's transformation into a god will be of great benefit to our Jiushan Sect."
Senior Sister Zhang also laughed: "Except for the founder, other people's incarnation may not be of so much help to our Jiushan Sect."
"Do not……"
Zheng Fa suddenly spoke.
Others couldn't help but look at him with confused eyes.
Zheng Fa didn't look at them, but looked outside the Nine Mountains Realm, and said slowly: "It's not just that."
Senior Sister Zhang followed Zheng Fa's gaze and asked curiously, "Junior Brother, are you focusing on Zhong Xuanzong?"
……
Chongxuan Sect, the top of Shenhuo Mountain.
Shi Nandang held a golden talisman in his hand, but his face was extremely dark.
The other six gods also bowed their heads in silence.
Zheng Fa and the three Nascent Souls of Chongxuan Sect who were standing here all held their breath.
"The Holy Ancestor has issued an edict."
Shi Nandang spoke in a low voice:
"The reason why the mountain provided us with so many spiritual stones and spiritual materials is to weaken the Nine Mountains Sect and the Hundred Immortals Alliance..."
“But there are rumors in the Hundred Immortals Alliance that the founder of the Nine Mountains Sect has already become a god!”
"The Holy Ancestor asked me, and I'm asking you too, where did you spend all these spiritual stones and spiritual materials?"
"Why is the Hundred Immortals Alliance getting stronger as they fight?"
Zheng Fa's expression was calm, but the Ninth Elder beside him could not help but glance at him and thought to himself:
Without those spiritual stones and materials, the Hundred Immortals Alliance wouldn't be so powerful, right?
Among the Six Transformed Gods, the skinny old man said:
"I am terrified..."
"Don't panic, the Holy Ancestor will show mercy and allow us to make amends!"
The uneasiness in the eyes of the six gods gradually dissipated.
"How can I make amends?"
"The Heaven and Earth God Array cannot be delayed any longer! Within twenty years, we must refine the Immortal-Trapping Sword!"
"With this sword, even if the Hundred Immortals Alliance has more gods, we won't have to worry about them."
"Twenty years?"
The skinny old man lost his voice and said, "Didn't you say it would take forty years? It's already difficult for us to refine this treasure, and now the time is only half as long."
Forty years?
This Xianjian sword is a bit difficult to deal with.
"The mountain also took into consideration the difficulties we faced."
"Can you send someone over?"
"No, Taishang Dao and Tianhe Sect have made some unusual moves for some reason. Compared to them, Baixian League is just a minor issue. It is not that important for them to have one more Divine Transformation Sect member. The main focus of the mountain right now cannot be sent here." Shi Nandang shook his head and said, "But the Holy Ancestor will continue to send us spiritual stones and spiritual materials, twice as much as before, and there will also be various spiritual medicines."
"In the future, the four of you Yuanying, with the help of these spiritual medicines, will be able to help us refine the Xianjian Sword."
Zheng Fa was delighted.
He now wants to find an opportunity to get in touch with the Xianjian Sword.
Unexpectedly, the transformation of the Nine Mountain Patriarch into a god... actually made Hao Ri Mountain more vigilant against the Hundred Immortals Alliance, which gave him an opportunity.
He was just thinking about this when Shi Nandang suddenly called his name again.
"Li Hao."
Zheng Fa was startled, he looked up at Shi Nandang, and saw Shi Nandang smiling at him warmly.
"The Holy Ancestor specifically praised you in his imperial edict."
Zheng Fa was a little confused.
Shi Nandang added: "The Saint Ancestor said that the entire Chongxuan Sect is full of mediocre people, and only you are a promising talent. Now that you have inherited our clan's heritage, he also has high hopes for you."
"What you need to do now is to lead the Chongxuan Sect and continue to harass the Hundred Immortals Alliance, which will inevitably disrupt the development of the Hundred Immortals Alliance."
To lead the Chongxuan Sect...I was appointed?
Zheng Fa couldn't help but glance at the head of Chongxuan sect who was standing beside him, and saw that the other party was lowering his head aggrievedly, not daring to say a word.
"The three of them will help me refine the Xianjian Sword in the future. Your cultivation is lower, so you are not qualified to stay here for a long time. But you have time."
Shi Nandang saw that he valued the leader of Xuanzong, and said firmly:
"The Holy Ancestor said that if you have the ability, all those spiritual stones and spiritual materials will be yours!"
"If you perform great deeds, you will be rewarded when you return to the mountain in the future!"
After hearing this, Zheng Fa hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you, Holy Ancestor, for your appreciation!"
Shi Nandang said with a smile:
"Thank you only to the Holy Ancestor? I have said a lot for you."
Zheng Fa was stunned and said quickly, "Thank you for your help, Master!"
The Ninth Elder watched and listened to this conversation, biting his lip, staring at the ground, not daring to raise his head...
Hand over Chongxuan Sect to Zheng Faguan?
Or is it your kind words, man on the stone?
I don’t know whether Zheng Fa will be able to get the reward in the future, but Mr. Shi... I’m afraid he will be killed by the Emperor in the future.
