Chapter 458 The Competition Begins
The next morning, Hao Hongyuan and his group from Quanzhen Dao arrived late.
Unlike what everyone had guessed, they were not low-key when they came. On the contrary, in a rosy glow, Hao Hongyuan led the elders of Quanzhen Dao and Yin Yulong to descend from the sky, standing proudly above the Taiyi Dao Palace, releasing their aura without reservation.
The disciples of Taiyi Dao woke up from their practice one after another, and when they saw the people of Quanzhen Dao, they all looked at them with hatred.
A month ago, it was these people who almost destroyed the thousand-year foundation of Taiyi Dao, and also captured Yan Liuyun and interrogated Taiyi Sanyuan Talisman.
However, they also knew that the former sect master, now the supreme elder Du Sheng, had entered the realm of creation. If Hao Hongyuan had not threatened Yan Liuyun's life last time, Quanzhen Dao would have been destroyed long ago.
And today, they set foot on Taiyi Dao, and they don't have to think about going back alive.
Some grudges must be avenged. When the Five Religions Conference ended, it was the time when Hao Hongyuan and Tan Qian and others from Quanzhen Dao died.
Hao Hongyuan and others turned a blind eye to these hateful eyes. Their expressions were as if nothing had happened before, and they came here just to attend the Five Religions Conference normally.
Du Sheng, Song Yuanshan, Cai Jin and his wife and others appeared almost at the same time.
"I thought you wouldn't come." Cai Jin said with a hint of sarcasm. If it weren't for the many injustices of Quanzhen Dao, the five sects of Taoism wouldn't have fallen into a situation of being surrounded by enemies so quickly.
So neither Cai Jin nor Song Yuanshan had a good face for the Quanzhen Dao gang.
After this Five Religions Conference, the five sects of Taoism didn't say they would merge immediately, but merging into one was also a general trend. It didn't matter much whether these scums of Quanzhen Dao joined or not. It was even better without them, because no one could say whether there would be a day in the future when they would be stabbed in the back by Quanzhen Dao again.
Hao Hongyuan said with a righteous look on his face: "How can the Five Religions Conference be held without Quanzhen Dao?"
"Without the Huayi Sword Art of Quanzhen Dao, can you open the Daozang?"
"Why are you all silent?"
"Aren't all of you reasonable?"
"Are you thinking that you will catch us all in one fell swoop after the Five Religions Conference is over?"
Hao Hongyuan may have known that he could not escape death this time, so he simply had no scruples and no longer concealed his emotions.
Seeing that everyone was speechless, he continued, "According to the rules set by our ancestors, when the Daozi is elected, no matter what grudges we have had in the past, we must do our best to assist the Daozi in rebuilding the Dao Sect."
Cai Jin said, "This time we are going to elect a real Daozi, not the half-baked Daozi you call yourself."
"Yulong is the Daozi." Hao Hongyuan said firmly, "No matter how you slander, this is an unchangeable fact, and everything I have done before is to restore the glory of the Dao Sect as soon as possible.
If it weren't for you guys being stubborn, how could the five sects of the Dao Sect have fallen into such an embarrassing situation now."
Du Sheng looked at Hao Hongyuan coldly and said, "There is no point in saying more. Now that everyone is here, let's get to the point."
"As for the grudges between us, I will settle with you after the meeting."
After saying that, he glanced at Tan Qian who was standing behind him, not hiding his murderous intent.
The hatred of killing a son is irreconcilable.
At this point, the previous greetings can basically be declared over.
Led by Du Sheng, the group came to a courtyard. There were many closed quiet rooms in the courtyard, which were specially used for retreat. In the center of the courtyard, there stood a three-person-high stone tablet with a big " "quiet" engraved on it.
The word was written with vigorous force, and it looked like it was carved by a person with fingers. Every stroke was like a swimming dragon. It can be seen that the person who carved the word must be heroic. But when you concentrate on reading the words, you can feel an inexplicable power, which can calm your heart and quickly enter a state of meditation.
Although Song Yuanshan, Cai Jin, Hao Hongyuan and others did not say anything, they were shocked in their hearts.
Song Yuanshan and Cai Jin had visited many places in the Heavenly Palace yesterday. The more places they saw, the more shocked they were.
In the Heavenly Palace, you can always feel a sense of ancient and wild air, and the number of treasures here is simply astonishing. Even the glazed tiles on the roof exude the breath of the avenue.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the entire Heavenly Palace is a precious magical instrument that has been passed down from ancient times.
But the most shocked are the people of Quanzhen Dao. When they last saw the Heavenly Palace, it was just a dilapidated prototype, but even in that state, Quanzhen Dao was still destroyed.
Now, the Heavenly Palace has been completely renewed. Just the word "quiet" in front of us contains infinite mysteries.
The most important thing is that the reason why the Heavenly Palace can be repaired is because Du Sheng used the foundation of the entire Quanzhen Dao to make it a wedding dress.
Hao Hongyuan thought in his heart that Du Sheng would not be proud for long. Once his plan succeeds, he will be able to turn the tide. At that time, this Heavenly Palace will naturally belong to Quanzhen Dao.
Han Xu, Song Yuxuan, Cai Yulin and Yin Yulong stood up one by one. On the faces of these four young people, you can see fighting spirit and confidence.
In terms of strength, they admit that they may be superior to each other, but in terms of talent, they all think that they are the best.
When Han Xu and Yin Yulong's eyes met, they could both sense the undisguised murderous intent in each other's eyes.
Song Yuanshan said, "Since the juniors are all ready, let's get started."
This Five Religions Conference was supposed to be hosted by Taiyi Dao, but Song Yuanshan started to speak as the host as if he was at home.
Others were used to his attitude of usurping the throne, and it was obvious that he had done this many times before.
"The Five Religions Conference has not been held for a hundred years. You should listen carefully to the rules I will tell you next.
Each of the five religions will take out the first-level secret manuals of the inherited skills. You will comprehend and practice on your own. Whoever can practice five skills at the same time will be a Taoist. If there are more than two people who can practice five skills at the same time, whoever practices the least time will win."
"Remember, every skill must be practiced to the level of the initial glimpse to the realm to be considered successful."
After Song Yuanshan finished speaking, the four young people nodded to show that they understood. In fact, before this, their respective elders had already told them the rules. Song Yuanshan said all these things, and in Han Xu's opinion, he was just looking for a feeling.
"Before the formal start, the four of you must swear an oath. Regardless of success or failure, the content of this practice must not be passed on to anyone other than yourself, not even to the elders of the sect."
The four nodded and swore an oath one after another.
Afterwards, the four sect leaders plus Liu Xuan each took out a jade slip, and each of these jade slips emitted violent power fluctuations.
