Chapter 23 The Holy Election
Qing Ling did not hesitate this time. After communicating with the group of snakes left behind in snake sounds, she turned into a blue rainbow and soared into the sky, flying towards Taichong Peak of Xishan Mountain.
On the way, he saw many low-level incarnation tribesmen and distant heaven-level tribesmen flying towards Xishan from all directions.
Qing Ling did not rush on his way, but just flew away leisurely, moving at a speed similar to that of an earth-level beast. If he had left early, as an innate god, he would definitely be watched by all kinds of eyes from the clansmen.
So he might as well arrive later.
Even so, the distance of hundreds of thousands of miles can be covered in only one day on earth.
Qing Ling walked into the clan cave. There were already more than a hundred Tao clan members standing, sitting or lying. After all, they were snakes.
It seems a bit more casual.
Many tribesmen stood up spontaneously and said hello to Qing Ling: "Spring God!"
"Spring God!"
"Spring God"
Qing Ling smiled and bowed her hands to them, nodded and raised her hands in return. Most of these tribesmen were low-level tribesmen, and there were also five or six heaven-level tribesmen, all new tribesmen.
Among the dozen or so Heaven-level clansmen in front, there were also cold onlookers and even mocking and disdainful looks, which these Qinglings naturally took the initiative to block.
When Qi, who was sitting cross-legged and adjusting his breath, heard him coming, he quickly stood up and said, "Brother! Why did you come here?"
Qing Ling smiled and said: "What? Is there any benefit to coming early?"
Unexpectedly, as soon as he said these joking words, dozens of tribesmen would turn their attention to him. Qing Ling's mind suddenly wondered, who did he provoke?
Du on the side saw this scene and hurriedly sent a message through the air: "Xiaoqing, you must calm down later and be sure not to be reckless, otherwise you will lose the support of the clan. Don't worry, with us here, we will not let you fall behind!"
Qing Ling looked at Du with confused eyes, but Du turned around and avoided eye contact with him, as if to avoid suspicion, and sat silently.
Qi Ye sent a message: "Brother, you must use snacks later. Although I don't understand the weirdness of it, but you are so smart and use snacks, you will definitely be able to do it. I'm just reminding you, hehe."
Qing Ling looked confused, looking left and right. Everyone in the tribe was looking at him more or less.
It seems that he came early. If he had known this, he would have come later. Even being the last one to arrive would be better than being surrounded by the tribe all the time.
He sent a message to Qi: "Qi, what on earth is going on? I feel like the way my tribe members look at me is not right."
Qi scratched his head and said vaguely: "Brother Du Clan told me that you have a special status. Someone must blame you for this crisis. Anyway, it's just those nagging words."
Qing Ling was slightly calm and had thoughts in her mind.
Half a day later, all the tribesmen in the clan cave above the Earth-level transformation have rushed back. Qing Ling glanced at them and saw that there were only more than 200 people, of which 200 were Earth-level clansmen, and there were less than 20.
He is a member of the heavenly clan.
It seems that the battle of ten thousand beasts killed and injured at least ten or twenty heaven-level people! This is undoubtedly a great reduction in the strength of the backbone of Xishan.
Another quarter of an hour later, three rays of light flashed outside the cave, and before everyone had time to react, they reached the clan elder's seat at the highest point in the cave.
It is none other than the three golden immortals of Xishan!
More than two hundred snake people stood up one after another, some with human bodies and snake tails, or snake bodies and human feet. All snake people of different types respectfully saluted the three golden immortals.
"Meet the clan leader, greet the clan elders."
"Meet the clan leader, greet the clan elders."
....
The sound is loud and full of respect, which is where the cohesion of the family lies.
Grandma Hua Geng, who was holding the Ten Thousand Snake Staff that symbolized the authority of the clan leader, laughed loudly and said: "Warrior of our clan, get up."
More than two hundred people then stood up and stood respectfully below.
Granny Hua Geng said with a smile: "I guess everyone in the clan knows the news that I have broken through Taiyi.
There are three reasons why I have called you here this time. You are all the enlightened incarnations among the tens of thousands of spiritual snakes in Xishan, and you can represent the will of thousands of spiritual snakes in Xishan. Therefore, I am calling you and others to discuss this matter.
event.
First thing, let me tell you how happy I am that an old man from the Chili clan met with an opportunity before and practiced quietly for tens of thousands of years. He has achieved great success and has entered the late Golden Immortal stage!"
As soon as these words came out, the clan members all looked happy and sincerely blessed: "Congratulations to the Chili clan for their great progress!"
Chi Li also had a faint smile on his face and said loudly: "Although my cultivation is broken, the future of Xishan will ultimately be controlled by you new tribesmen. We cannot only rely on the afterglow of our predecessors and get carried away and neglect cultivation.
.
Don’t let the afterglow of your ancestors become your afterglow!”
All the snakes replied respectfully: "I will follow the teachings of my elders."
Granny Hua Geng spoke again: "The next thing is tragedy. In this battle between the beasts, nearly a million snakes in our clan were killed and injured, 231 people died tragically on the earth level, and 21 people died on the heaven level.
, they are all the heroes of our Xishan, and they are all heroic souls that the descendants of our Xishan clan should respect and remember!
Therefore, the two clan elders and I decided to hold the Ten Thousand Snakes Ancient Sacrifice to summon the heroic souls of our ancestors, lure them into the Xishan Soul Tomb, and let their souls fall into Xishan!"
As soon as these words came out, the clan members below all looked extremely excited, even happier than they were when Chili broke through to the late stage just now.
Qing Ling was a little puzzled. He had never heard of the Ten Thousand Snakes Ancient Sacrifice. After all, he only lived a few tens of thousands of years. Xishan had inherited thousands of Yuan Hui, and he didn't know many secrets.
Granny Hua Geng glanced at Qing Ling lightly, as if she knew his doubts, and continued: "You also know that the ancient sacrifice of ten thousand snakes must be initiated by the saint son and saint daughter of our clan, and a clan can establish a saint.
A saintly daughter can only be established in the golden fairyland.
And Laoshen's Taiyi realm can be reached. In fact, the second and third things today are both the same thing.
That is to choose a saint son or a saint girl! The saint son and saint girl will start the ancient festival of ten thousand snakes, summon the souls of the ancestors, and restart the spirit tomb. In the future, the souls of all the people of our clan will no longer have nowhere to go and return to the world.
!”
Qing Ling understood at this moment that it turned out that they wanted to choose a saint son and a saint. Only the Taiyi tribe and the Daluo clan had the ability to choose a saint. It was impossible for the ordinary Jinxian tribe.
The Xishan Soul Tomb is similar to a cemetery where the souls of ancestors are kept. At this time, there is no reincarnation between heaven and earth. All souls are either dispersed in the heaven and earth, or are dragged to the netherworld to withstand the destruction of that terrible sea of blood.
No matter what the outcome is, it is not a good place for the soul.
Therefore, some powerful clans and ancient clans set up clan tombs to support the souls of their ancestors, so as not to dissipate in the world or be stained by the sea of blood!
Qing Ling seemed to be thinking. It seemed that many members of the tribe regarded him as a competitor. No wonder the tribesmen looked at him differently just now.
Granny Hua Geng glanced at Master Chun and signaled that he would do the talking.
Chun immediately stepped forward, raised his hand and pressed softly, and the snakes regained their composure, listening to the words of the elder of the Chu clan.
"Being a saint son and a saint in the clan is of great importance. It is not only a symbol of our clan's dignity, but also can carry our clan's luck and protect our body. We have the twelve ranks of the dragon clan to protect us. We also have access to various secret techniques and ancient methods in the clan.
, the benefits of ancestral treasures.
However, not everyone can hold this position.
Next, all the heaven-level clan members in the clan step forward."
As soon as the words fell, a total of twenty-three Heaven-level clansmen in the clan walked forward.
More than two hundred earth-level clansmen looked at the heaven-level clansmen in front of them with envy.
Chun said again: "Those who are over 100,000 years old will retire on their own."
As soon as these words came out, most of the people in the Tianjie retreated.
There are only seven heavenly clan members left.
Qing Ling, Qi, Du, Ke, and a girl named Yi, a strong man with explosive muscles named?, and finally a feminine man named Wei.
Venerable Chun nodded and said: "Only the seven of you can compete for the position of the Holy Son or the Holy Lady!
There is only one person, there are seven of you. Those who do not want to participate can withdraw on their own."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qi jumped up behind him and smiled without saying a word.
Then Du and the strong man also walked directly to the rear and gave up the election.
Qing Ling looked at the remaining people and thought that she had received too many favors from the clan, so she would not get involved in this matter.
But just as he was about to leave, he heard the words of Granny Hua Geng. "If you dare to take a step back, I will throw you out of Xishan!"
Qing Ling was shocked. It seemed that Hua Geng's mother-in-law thought that he had to participate in the election. Moreover, her mother-in-law said it was so serious that he did not dare to abstain directly.
As for Ke, after taking a look at Qing Ling, she also took the initiative to retreat. Her retreat surprised many people in the clan who were optimistic about her.
The tribesmen below all began to chat in low voices, or whisper through messages.
"Hey, why did Ke retire? With her qualifications, she is very likely to become a saint."
"Yes, not only does Ke have a beautiful temperament, but he is also in the middle stage of Heaven level, and his strength is obvious to all. It's a pity that he quit."
"However, Qing Ling is still there. It seems that the position of the Holy Son is most likely his!"
"Yes, his innate spirit and feet alone are enough to crush the other two."
"Humph, him? How many disasters has this guy brought to our Xishan? Back then, he broke through the heavenly level and attracted the attention of all the major clans in Xishan. He was almost in danger of extermination. And this time in the battle of beasts, Chi Huo
Isn’t it because of his innate god that the Toad clan works so hard?”
"That's right, he stays in the clan to practice all day long, ignores everything, and enjoys all the benefits of the clan. He is a disaster!"
"Disaster? Isn't this a bit too much? After all..."
"After all, how long have you lived? Ever since he came from the clan, we in Xishan have never stopped. Hundreds of thousands of our clansmen died in this war of beasts. Wasn't it all because of him? It's because of his innate life.
, Xishan was feared by the four tribes and planned this war."
...
Although the Snake Clan has achieved great achievements, it is their nature to be unstable. As various voices in the clan rang out, more and more clan members were being manipulated, and many elders in the clan began to waver in their views on Qing Ling.
As Zun Zun heard the whispers below getting louder and louder, he couldn't help but snorted coldly and said, "Shut up, everyone."
The voice of the Golden Immortal Lord's mana shocked everyone in the clan and no one dared to whisper anymore.
"Okay, since there are only three of you running for election, let's start asking the big wood-divining beast to divine luck for the three of you!
Chapter completed!
