Chapter 185 Inheritance Pill and Outer Sect Dao Discussion Conference
After careful consideration, Zhao Xuan selected some details from his experiences after returning to the Fire Crow Sect and truthfully told Zhao Gongming about them.
When Zhao Gongming and his two disciples heard that their disciples had caused the deaths of millions of innocent lives by shirking their responsibilities, all three were filled with righteous indignation and uncontrollable rage.
Upon hearing that Zhao Xuan had used the Destruction God Domain to annihilate half of his disciples' souls and erase the physical bodies of the other half, thus permanently imprisoning them on the Divine Mountain, everyone cheered.
Then, in a fit of rage, Zhao Xuan activated the protective array, completely annihilating the invading enemy in one fell swoop.
After this battle, Zhao Xuan, with his astonishing comprehension and talent, successfully mastered the Six Jia Qi Men formation, achieving another significant breakthrough based on his original formation skills.
This made Zhao Gongming exclaim in gratitude, "What a stroke of luck!"
Then he heard that Zhao Xuan had spent a full three thousand years, sparing no effort to use the incomparably precious Creation Divine Liquid and Creation Fire to fully enhance the divine realm he controlled.
With the help of this enhanced divine power, a highly spiritual array spirit was born.
He nodded repeatedly, saying, "Such a grand gesture and profound artistry truly inspire awe."
Chen Jiugong and Yao Shaosi, standing to the side, had longing expressions on their faces.
Seeing this, Zhao Xuan smiled slightly, then had an idea and began to communicate with Luo Jin.
In an instant, countless dazzling lights suddenly surged forth within the Fire Crow Sect's divine domain. These lights converged like a tide, eventually condensing into two strange objects resembling pills in Zhao Xuan's palm.
Zhao Xuan slowly extended his palm and gently waved it. The two pills transformed into two streams of light, rushing towards Chen Jiugong and Yao Shaosi respectively. In the blink of an eye, the two pills disappeared into the two men's sea of consciousness, vanishing without a trace.
Seeing this, Zhao Gongming hurriedly stepped forward, cupped his hands in a salute to Zhao Xuan, and sincerely thanked him, saying, "This gift is far too precious; it has truly troubled you, fellow Daoist!"
Zhao Xuan waved his hand and replied with a smile, "It's alright, it's alright. I no longer have any disciples to inherit my mantle, so I don't need these for the time being. If you need them in the future, you can return them to me when you two junior disciples have grown up and are able to achieve something."
Zhao Gongming laughed heartily upon hearing this and replied, "In that case, I, Zhao, would like to thank you for your kindness on behalf of my two nephews. I hope that, as you have said, they will both achieve great things in the future, thanks to your auspicious words."
Everyone present understood perfectly well; no further explanation was needed, and everything was understood without words.
It is clear that Zhao Xuan has acknowledged Zhao Gongming's friendship and decided to stand shoulder to shoulder with him and advance and retreat together in the future.
Therefore, some things don't need to be divided too clearly, just like the close and inseparable relationship between Zhao Gongming and the Three Immortals.
The key to humanity's dominance over the world lies in the word "inheritance".
In the world of gods, the power of divine essence is extremely active, to the point that the belief in this inheritance is powerful enough to affect the normal operation of the Heavenly Dao.
Whenever a cultivator makes a major breakthrough, this belief helps them condense three invaluable inheritance pills.
These three inheritance pills contain the essence of the cultivator's practice and possess astonishing power, assisting others in comprehending and mastering this inheritance, thereby enlightening their wisdom.
Moreover, these three inheritance pills symbolize the ability to open the cultivation paths of the three individuals, allowing more people to benefit from the experience and wisdom of their predecessors.
In this way, through the inheritance from generation to generation, life continues endlessly, perfectly matching the Taoist principle of "Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things"—the law of the universe.
The appearance of the array spirit signifies a tremendous transformation in the cultivator's array cultivation, moving from external form to internal essence. It also marks the entry into a new realm—possessing the ability to create life.
Such an achievement is undoubtedly a major breakthrough, so it is only natural that three inheritance pills containing the secrets of array cultivation can be formed.
Back then, Zhao Gongming and the Three Immortals of Sanxiao successfully broke through the formations they had set up during their cultivation journey, and also condensed extremely rare inheritance pills.
However, instead of passing on such treasures to their disciples, they chose to share them among themselves for mutual absorption and utilization.
It was precisely through this spirit of mutual support and common progress that the four of them were able to continuously break through their own limits and eventually be promoted to the status of special outer disciples of the sect.
As the saying goes, the "Four Treasures of Spiritual Practice" are wealth, companions, Dharma, and the land.
Besides enhancing cultivation, this inheritance pill also has another crucial meaning—that is, to find like-minded people who can work together and support each other on one's long path of cultivation.
Looking at Zhao Xuan, although he was exceptionally talented, he had always been alone on the path of cultivation.
His cultivation progress was so rapid that no one could keep up with him.
Therefore, the Inheritance Pill was not very useful to Zhao Xuan. After all, he had no intention of taking on disciples to pass on his mantle, so the Inheritance Pill lost its original value.
However, Zhao Gongming was unaware of this.
In his eyes, this inheritance pill was undoubtedly a rare treasure.
True disciples like Chen Jiugong and Yao Shaosi shared a close bond with their masters, sharing both honor and disgrace.
Now, Zhao Xuan has bestowed a Formation Inheritance Pill upon Chen Jiugong and Yao Shaosi each. The value of this gesture far exceeds the help Zhao Gongming gave Zhao Xuan in the past.
In this way, the situation has been reversed. It is no longer Zhao Xuan who owes Zhao Gongming a debt of gratitude, but rather Zhao Gongming who owes Zhao Xuan a huge favor.
However, just like the investments Zhao Gongming made in Zhao Xuan (Luo Xuan) in the early days, none of these need to be repaid; they are merely a way for the two to maintain their deep friendship.
At that moment, Chen Jiugong and Yao Shaosi also absorbed some key information about the Inheritance Pill, thus gaining a profound understanding of its rarity.
The two dared not be negligent in the slightest, and hurriedly bowed and thanked him with gratitude: "Thank you very much for your generous reward, Uncle!"
Zhao Xuan nodded slightly, a smile appearing on his face, and jokingly replied, "Don't be in such a hurry to thank me. I'll have to repay you in the future. I hope you two won't keep me waiting too long!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Jiugong and Yao Shaosi instantly understood the joking meaning in Zhao Xuan's words, and immediately replied in unison, "We certainly won't keep you waiting, Uncle!"
Immediately afterwards, they turned to face Zhao Gongming, bowed respectfully, and expressed their desire to immediately go into seclusion for cultivation, earnestly requesting Zhao Gongming's permission.
Zhao Gongming naturally had no objection and readily agreed.
He then clasped his hands in farewell to Zhao Xuan and warmly invited Zhao Xuan (Luo Xuan) to attend the Outer Sect Dao Discussion Conference to be held two thousand years later.
After a moment's thought, Zhao Xuan agreed.
In fact, Luo Xuan had also participated in this outer sect discussion conference.
This gathering was a grand discussion event jointly initiated by Zhao Gongming and the Three Immortals of Sanxiao. Its original purpose was to help those outer disciples who were in difficult circumstances and of low status.
Ever since Zhao Gongming and the Three Immortals were named the four outer disciples, every ten thousand years they would anxiously gather all the outer disciples together and personally teach them for a period of a hundred years.
As time went by, inner disciples who had close ties with the outer sect members gradually heard about this and also eagerly participated.
Today, this grand event has evolved into an excellent stage for the three major lineages—outer sect, inner sect, and true lineage—to showcase their strength.
During this period, the most outstanding members of the three lineages will engage in fierce gambling battles to determine who is superior.
Those who perform exceptionally well will receive generous rewards.
As one of the best outer disciples, Luo Xuan actively participated in the outer sect's Dao discussion conferences on many occasions.
Each grand event was filled with fierce competition and exciting duels. With his remarkable strength, he repeatedly achieved excellent results in his competitions with his peers, reaping numerous generous rewards.
However, as time went on, the potential shown by the outer disciples gradually revealed its limitations.
Compared to the true disciples and inner disciples, they were clearly at a disadvantage in terms of cultivation talent and resource acquisition. Gradually, the outer sect Dao discussion conference became a stage for the true disciples and inner disciples to shine.
Those disciples who were easily defeated by Luo Xuan in the past, and even those who joined the sect later than him, gradually caught up with him through continuous hard work and cultivation.
Some have even surpassed him, their strength now exceeding his.
Faced with this situation, Luo Xuan inevitably felt a sense of loss that was hard to describe. The feeling of having once been a leader but now being surpassed by others was truly unpleasant.
Therefore, after sensing the opportunity to break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, Luo Xuan did not spend too much time consolidating before attempting the breakthrough.
However, due to insufficient potential, he struggled to break through smoothly. At the critical moment of life and death, he sacrificed his potential and broke through using the method of divine essence differentiation.
He believed that his path to enlightenment was over and that participating in the Outer Sect Dao Discussion Conference would be a disgrace to himself, so after his breakthrough, he never participated in the Outer Sect Dao Discussion Conference again.
As the saying goes, "the deepest trick is sincerity," and Zhao Gongming's greatest advantage was his unparalleled sincerity.
In the primordial world, Zhao Gongming was transformed from a gentle breeze, hence his extremely free and unrestrained nature.
Such a temperament perfectly complements the teachings of the Lingbao Daoist sect. Furthermore, his selfless dedication to imparting knowledge and resolving doubts among the outer disciples naturally earned him the heartfelt love and respect of many.
The Divine Realm and the Primordial World share the same origin, and Zhao Gongming's temperament is similar to that of the Primordial World.
Over time, more and more disciples came to him, drawn by his reputation, and gathered around him.
Now, the group led by Zhao Gongming has become powerful enough to rival the Four Lineages and the Seven Immortals.
After the three left, Zhao Xuan continued to carry out his carefully planned fishing scheme as usual.
