Chapter 334 Master Hanmu
"Hearing this name, do you feel a little strange? Why is there such a strange sect name?"
Seeing Xiao Lin nod, Su Qingyun smiled and said: "Don't say you feel strange. When I first heard this name when I was traveling in the Southern Territory, I also felt very strange."
"But later, after learning about the origin of Xiaohan Temple, I didn't dare to underestimate it at all. Instead, I respected the owner of Xiaohan Temple very much."
"The owner of Xiaohan Temple?" Xiao Lin was full of surprise. In his opinion, Xiaohan Temple was as famous as the other six ancient sects, and it also dominated a large spiritual stone vein. Needless to say, the strength of this sect must be stronger than the other six ancient sects.
How could such a sect have the word "master"?
Su Qingyun was obviously well aware of Xiao Lin's doubts. He said, "Because this Xiaohan Temple has never accepted any disciples, and there is only one person living in it, known as Master Hanmu."
"A sect of one person?" This time Xiao Lin was really shocked. Since he started practicing Taoism, he had also traveled far to the Southern Territory and entered several medium-sized immortal cities. Even if he was not well-informed, he was not a frog in the well.
But this sect of one person was the first time Xiao Lin had heard of it since he started practicing Taoism. Moreover, one person dominated a large spiritual vein, and the other six ancient sects in the Southern Territory had never thought of snatching this large spiritual vein.
In Xiao Lin's opinion, there was only one reason for such a strange scene, that is, Master Hanmu was definitely an unfathomable cultivator, and his realm had reached a level that the cultivators of the other six ancient sects could not hope to reach.
"Could it be that Master Hanmu was a Divine Transformation cultivator?" Xiao Lin said in astonishment.
"Spiritual Transformation Cultivator?" Shaking his head, Su Qingyun smiled and said, "Spiritual Transformation Cultivator is already the pinnacle of this world. Not to mention you and me, even the old man Tianyi himself has probably never seen a true Spiritual Transformation Cultivator."
"And according to legend, once you enter the Spiritual Transformation stage, you will inexplicably disappear from the cultivation world. Many high-level cultivators suspect that once you enter the Spiritual Transformation stage, you will find a hidden place, practice hard in seclusion, and prepare for the Ascension Tribulation."
"Ascension Tribulation?" When Xiao Lin heard this word, his face was full of yearning and longing. What is the purpose of practicing Taoism? It is nothing more than the word "longevity", and entering the Spiritual Transformation stage in one's lifetime is undoubtedly the ultimate goal of all cultivators in this world.
But Xiao Lin also knew that this goal was still too far away for him. Now he only hoped that he could successfully form a pill in the near future, and he would be thankful.
"The Spiritualization Realm is too far away for you and me. That Master Hanmu is not a Spiritualization cultivator, but a Yuanying Great Perfection cultivator who is only one step away from the Spiritualization Realm, which is what we call a great cultivator in the cultivation world."
"Great cultivator?" This is also a term that is out of reach for him.
"Master Hanmu is the only great cultivator in the Southern Territory. Although the other six ancient sects have many disciples, dozens of Jindan cultivators, and several Yuanying cultivators in the sect, they are nothing compared to this Xiaohan Temple."
Hearing this, Xiao Lin showed a speechless expression. He naturally understood that facing a great cultivator, even any of the other six ancient sects, if they wanted to deal with him, they would have to think carefully, because if they were not careful, the entire sect might be extinct and the inheritance would be interrupted.
Although Xiao Lin has not really witnessed the life-and-death battle of Yuanying cultivators, he has begun to understand that in the cultivation world, once they enter the Yuanying stage, it is basically impossible for low-level cultivators to defeat high-level cultivators by numbers.
Just like a dozen Jindan cultivators facing a Yuanying cultivator, unless they use some powerful formations, once they start, they will basically be slaughtered by the Yuanying cultivator.
In Xiao Lin's opinion, this is also the fundamental reason why this Hanmu Master can dominate a large-scale high-grade spiritual vein.
"Once this Hanmu Master passes away, won't Xiaohan Temple be cut off from inheritance?" Xiao Lin asked.
"How can the thoughts of such a master be guessed by my level? However, over the past thousand years, a legend has been spread among many cultivators who have been to Dutian Xiaohan Realm, saying that this Hanmu Master has been waiting for a destined person."
"Waiting for a destined person?" Xiao Lin was speechless. In Xiao Lin's opinion, this so-called destined person is nothing more than someone that the Hanmu Master likes, and this range is wide, but what makes Xiao Lin a little strange is that the Hanmu Master has wanted to establish Xiaohan Temple for a long time.
Considering the life span of a Yuanying cultivator of a thousand or so years, Xiaohan Temple must have been around for at least a thousand years, but he has never found his destined person. It must be said that this is indeed ironic.
"Xiaohan Temple has been passed down for tens of thousands of years," Su Qingyun's words directly overturned Xiao Lin's guess.
"It's just that Xiaohan Temple has been passed down from generation to generation, and it is passed down alternately by men and women. Once a female cultivator takes charge of Xiaohan Temple, then Xiaohan Temple will be renamed Xiaohan Temple, and if a male cultivator takes charge of Xiaohan Temple, it will be named Xiaohan Temple."
"Men and women pass down alternately?" Such a strange news made Xiao Lin dumbfounded. In his opinion, this Master Hanmu was really a freak. Of course, not only this Master Hanmu, but also the person who founded this sect, I don't know how he came up with such a method of inheritance.
"Isn't this Master Hanmu afraid that after he sits down or ascends to heaven, the destined person has not been found, and the sect will be cut off from inheritance?"
"Your question was also the question of countless people in the Southern Territory. Even the other six ancient sects who coveted that large spiritual vein have been waiting specifically for this, hoping to wait until they are out of business so that they can destroy Xiaohan in one fell swoop. Temple, seize this large spiritual vein.”
"But the strange thing is here. Before every master of Xiaohan Temple dies, he will train a disciple who is at least in the middle stage of Nascent Soul. In this way, even if the master dies, the other six ancient sects will not dare to act rashly."
"You must know that a cultivator in the mid-stage of Nascent Soul is also extremely terrifying. Although the other six major sects have late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators in charge, it is not easy to kill this mid-stage cultivator."
"And once it cannot be completely killed and is allowed to escape, the consequences that this sect will suffer can be imagined. Moreover, the successive inheritors of Xiaohan Temple can always break through the middle stage of Yuanying, enter the late stage and even the great stage of Yuanying. Perfection, as a result, the other six ancient sects are afraid to act rashly."
Such anecdotes, to Xiao Lin, were like listening to stories. Xiao Lin listened with relish, but Xiao Lin knew that what Master Su Qingyun told him should be true.
Thinking of this, Xiao Lin couldn't help but ask: "Is there some connection between Dutian Xiaohan Realm and Xiaohan Temple?"
"Of course there is. The entrance to the Dutian Xiaohan Realm is located in the Ice Phoenix Valley under Wangtianya, Baiman Mountain. If you want to enter the Dutian Xiaohan Realm, you must pass through the Dutian Immortal Demon Realm outside the valley. Only through Only after entering the Dutian Immortal and Demonic Illusion Realm can one enter the Ice Phoenix Valley, and then enter it through the entrance of the Dutian Xiaohan Realm.”
Xiao Lin knew that this was the key to what he wanted to know.
"Is it possible that only by entering the Dutian Xiaohan realm can I have a chance to pick the soul-hooking grass?"
"That's not necessarily the case. There are also people waiting in the Demon Control Fairy City not far from the Ice Phoenix Valley. Once the Dutian Xiaohan Realm is closed, a small amount of soul-hooking grass will flow into the fairy city market, and then you can buy it through spiritual stones. However, the prices of these soul-hooking grasses that enter the market are usually extremely high, but even so, you still need a bit of luck to buy them.”
"In addition, the soul-hooking grass can only be found in the Dutian Xiaohan realm, and the Dutian Xiaohan realm cannot be entered at any time. It is opened once every hundred years, and within a hundred days before the Dutian Xiaohan realm is opened, the outside of the Ice Phoenix Valley The Dutian Immortal Demonic Realm will also open on its own, covering the entire Ice Phoenix Valley."
"And there is only one way to enter the Ice Phoenix Valley. Any other way is suicide. Someone once tried to fly into the Ice Phoenix Valley with a weapon, but as soon as he entered the Dutianxian Demon Realm, something strange happened. That man's whole body was inexplicably burned with Dutian Demonic Fire, and he turned into ashes in the blink of an eye, not even his soul was left behind."
"Dutian Demon Fire?" Although Xiao Lin has practiced the secret techniques of Qingyan Spirit Fire, this is the first time he has heard of Dutian Demon Fire.
"What kind of secret fire technique is this demonic fire? It can even incinerate the soul of a monk instantly?" The green flame spirit fire practiced by Xiao Lin also has the effect of freezing the soul of a monk to death, but this also depends on the cultivation level of the other party. Realm, if the other person's realm is much higher than yourself.
Then even if the whole body is frozen by Xiao Lin's Qingyan Spiritual Fire, the soul can be released at the moment when the physical body is shattered and used to escape.
Although Xiao Lin didn't know the realm of the monk who wanted to enter the Ice Phoenix Valley through the method of controlling weapons, he thought that anyone who dared to do so would at least not be lower than his own realm.
Su Qingyun pondered for a while and continued: "You may have never heard of Dutian Demon Fire. Dutian Demon Fire is one of the three major demon flames of the devil. It is a flame several times more terrifying than the infant fire of the Nascent Soul monk. "
"Several times more terrifying than the infant fire of the Nascent Soul cultivator?" Xiao Lin was really shocked. Although he had heard from Su Qingyun's tone that the power of the demon fire should be extraordinary, he did not expect that it would be so powerful. The demonic fire is actually several times more terrifying than the infant fire of the old monster Nascent Soul.
"Dutian Xiaohan Realm is opened once every hundred years, and every time it is opened, countless foundation-building monks from the Southern Territory will be attracted to enter it. Of course, there will also be a small number of Jindan monks who will also enter Dutian Xiaohan Realm."
"Golden elixir monks will also go in?" Xiao Lin was a little puzzled. Although the soul-hooking grass is precious and is the main medicine for refining the Bi Yan Dan, which increases the chance of forming elixirs, it is useless to golden elixir monks. Could it be that these golden elixir monks are picking soul-hooking grass and taking it out to earn spiritual stones?
"The reason why the Golden elixir monks choose to go in is because it is rumored that the secret of Xiaohan Temple's inheritance is hidden in the Dutian Xiaohan territory, and the Dutian Immortal Demonic Illusionary Realm excludes monks above Nascent Soul, so every time The opening of Dutian Xiaohan Realm will not only gather a large number of foundation-building stage cultivators, but also attract a lot of golden elixir stage cultivators. The small amount of soul-hooking grass that the teacher mentioned before flowing into the fairy city market is mostly from these. The hand of the golden elixir monk."
"The secret of the inheritance?" Xiao Lin suddenly realized that if there really is the secret of the inheritance of Xiaohan Temple in the Dutian Xiaohan Realm, it is reasonable for those Jindan monks to choose to enter it. However, in this way, there is no doubt that for someone like himself The foundation-building monks who entered the Dutian Xiaohan realm purely for the soul-hooking grass added many variables.
