Chapter 429: Volume D: Daohui Will Start to Bloom
This Shangyuan Daohui finally opened amidst the hustle and bustle.
But as expected, the big sects were absent-minded about the Daohui, while the small and medium-sized sects were very interested, especially the three personal lists of the Hidden Dragon and Phoenix List, the Dragon and Tiger Azure Cloud List, and the Great Dao Fengyun List, which were even more attractive to the geniuses of the small and medium-sized sects.
If the Hidden Dragon and Phoenix List is just an encouragement to young disciples, then the latter two, the Azure Cloud List and the Fengyun List, are direct and naked temptations.
To be included in the imperial list of the Dao Palace and the government, one must be publicly announced in the temples and palaces of the Great Zhao, enjoy the incense bath, and absorb the incense power.
This is what all cultivators dream of, even if it is only an incidental influence, but the infiltration of the incense power will be directly projected to the spiritual realm through the way of heaven and man.
Perhaps it will not show much power in the foundation building, but once entering the purple mansion, this positive influence will become more and more important.
Especially in the late stage of Zifu, that is, when the high level of Zifu is preparing to impact the golden elixir, this kind of divine wish power is particularly important.
Many people who fail to impact the golden elixir often fail because they lack the foundation to absorb it, encounter the difficult and unsolvable disasters of the heavenly way, and end up sadly.
The power of divine wish can communicate with heaven and man. The earlier it is transmitted through the way of heaven and man, in a sense, the more it can allow the cultivator to immerse himself in the immortal posture and divine nature.
At the same time, the power of incense and divine wish can also cleanse the impurities of the original spirit realm, eliminate evil intentions, eliminate all kinds of negative moods and emotions encountered by cultivators during the practice, and help improve the progress of practice.
So, even if this list shows that the influence among the people of the world may not be as great as imagined, it is always an opportunity.
There are tens of millions of people in the great Zhao, and there are more than tens of millions of palaces, temples, and temples. Even if one percent of the people take a glance at it during the sacrifice and worship, and have some admiration, it is worth it.
Because of this, small and medium-sized sects and families are quite enthusiastic in registering for the Taoist meeting, while large sects are relatively calm, and their minds are still on the annihilation of the Jiulian Sect.
The Taoist Palace is still immersed in the atmosphere of the New Year. With the eunuch in charge of the Ministry of Ceremonies sent by the government announcing the opening of the Taoist meeting, the drama finally kicked off.
The 15-day Taoist meeting will also be the best cover for all parties to discuss and finalize the division of interests after the fierce battle in the early stage.
Shang Jiuling rushed back before the opening.
The battle for Chongyang Mountain was finally won at the cost of Zhu Fengbi's heavy injury.
But this heavy injury was only relative, saving the Purple Mansion Realm, but falling to the initial stage of Yunsui, which is similar to Qi Hongkui.
Shang Jiuling ascended to the high level of Yunsui in this battle, which was an unexpected gain.
Following Shang Jiuling was Linghu Zui, the leader of the Yuhan Sect, a simple old man with a gaunt face and a celestial spirit, who was also at the high level of the marrow nourishment realm.
If Shang Jiuling had not ascended to heaven in this battle, he would have been the purple mansion cultivator with the highest spiritual realm level in the entire Chonghua Sect in the future.
After three consecutive battles, Qingguang Dao finally gave up his intention to seize Chongyang Mountain. The Xinghuo Sect lit a fire behind him, triggering a fierce battle between the two sides, causing one of his purple mansions to fall to the foundation-building stage. In addition, Zhu Fengbi and one of the other purple mansions were both severely injured, which made Qingguang Dao finally calm down and realize that his strength was not enough to challenge the three families that were attached to Chonghua Sect and had the help of the Xinghuo Sect.
"Master means that Uncle Linghu is still unwilling to merge the Yuhan Sect into our Chonghua Sect. Does he think that the Yuhan Sect can still survive? What is he waiting for?"
Chen Huaisheng accompanied Shang Jiuling on the path in the Taoist Palace.
The layout of the entire Taoist palace is arranged according to the pattern of the Tai Chi Bagua diagram. The eight gates of life and death, with a huge round hall similar to the dome of a earthen building in the middle, surrounded by a circle of Taoist palace buildings, and the outermost is scattered with contact points set up by various sects here.
Of course, not everyone or any sect family can set up a contact point here. Only the top 50 sect families are eligible. The Chonghua Sect also has a contact point, but it is very small. The sect’s Taoist temple in Beijing is the main place for business.
On the Bagua Road, the trees stand upright, the plum blossoms bloom proudly in the frost, and the cold fragrance is refreshing.
"Not really. He knows very well that Yuhan Sect cannot survive independently. Even Guipeng Sect, which has never been through war, cannot do it, let alone Yuhan Sect?" Shang Jiuling is still very confident about this. "Don't look at your uncle Linghu as an immortal. You know the evaluation outside. He is more calculating than anyone else. He wants to see the final outcome of Yaolian Sect and Jingfu Sect before negotiating a good condition.
"Master, don't you think that if we attract and merge them, we will become another Jiulian Sect?" Chen Huaisheng couldn't help asking.
Shang Jiuling laughed, "Finally asked, you are not the first one to worry, and you will not be the last one. The development and growth of each sect cannot rely on its own growth alone, especially in this era of great contention. If we are slow, it means that they may occupy a better advantage and may get more sacred mountains, blessed lands, and spiritual fields, treasures,..."
"Is there any suspense about Yaolian Sect and Jingfu Sect?" Chen Huaisheng asked.
"There shouldn't be any changes." Shang Jiuling said with some emotion: "Do you think Huaxi Sword Sect will give Yaolian Sect a chance? The staggered attack they played with Tianyun Sect was quite exquisite, catching Yaolian Sect and Yuanhe Sect off guard. These super sects are not only powerful, but also more terrifyingly, they have no moral principles at all and will do anything to get you there. Once they determine that you are an enemy, they will come up with all kinds of tricks to catch you off guard and make it difficult for you to react..."
"As for Jingfu Sect..." Chen Huaisheng couldn't help asking again: "Is it also Wanxiang Sect?"
"Almost." Shang Jiuling waved his hand, as if he didn't want to talk about these topics anymore, "Jingtu Kongshan is also the best spiritual mountain treasure among the nine spiritual mountains of Jiulian Sect. How could Wanxiang Sect escape empty-handed? "
"Gui Peng Sect surrendered to Taihua Dao?" Chen Huaisheng gritted his teeth and said, "By doing this, Taihua Dao is not afraid of becoming notorious in the Dazhao cultivation world and becoming the target of public criticism? If they do this, who will be willing to deal with them in the future?"
"It's hard to say whether this matter is right or wrong. Taihua Dao did not intend to merge Gui Peng Sect at the beginning. It should be that Gui Peng Sect took the initiative to contact Taihua Dao when it saw that the situation was not good. When Taihua Dao realized that it was unable to change the situation, it probably had an idea and accepted Gui Peng Sect. If you insist on saying that Taihua Dao was deliberate from the beginning, that is not objective. "
Shang Jiuling's words are realistic and not exaggerated.
The Jiulian Sect collapsed, and Gui Peng Sect realized that it was unable to survive independently, and others would not allow Gui Peng Sect to survive independently, so all it could do was to hold on to a big tree. Taihua Dao and Jiulian Sect are potential allies, and their relationship is quite friendly, so choosing Taihu is also reasonable.
"It means that even if the Jiulian Sect has died and this matter has come to an end, the Dao Palace has no explanation?" Chen Huaisheng was very curious about the Dao Palace's attitude.
This blatant annexation, and it happened in Bianliang Prefecture, both sides are big sects, but it happened so openly, and the Dao Palace didn't even have any attitude. What is the meaning of the Dao Palace's existence?
Regardless of right and wrong, regardless of human feelings and morality, it is purely the law of the jungle. There is no rule that can restrain such a large Zhao cultivation world? What can the Dao Palace do?
"It's difficult for the Dao Palace. It can only pretend to be deaf and dumb and see if time can make everyone focus on the Qingyun List and Fengyun List. This way, it can get away with it."
Chen Huaisheng also has to admire that the Dao Palace chose such a time to launch it. With the increasing momentum of the Qingyun List and Fengyun List, Jiulian Sect soon only lives in everyone's impression. What involves itself is the most important. This kind of example is too common.
