As usual, all major sect affairs are decided by the ancestors behind the scenes.
After the decision is made, the leader and the powerful elders below will discuss the details step by step and implement them.
The ancestors of Tai'a, Chongxu and Taixu sects have already made a secret agreement.
After that, the "merger of the three sects" began to really advance.
This matter has so much to do with it that many people in the three sects, including the head elders of each sect, are somewhat unhappy.
But this is the will of the ancestors, and they cannot violate it.
The ancestor has a high level of cultivation. He stands tall and can see far.
If you don't stand in the position of the ancestor, you don't know the ancestor's concerns, and you don't know the overall plan.
The heads and elders of each sect understand this.
Therefore, although many people have criticized this, the "three sects' merger" is still secretly advancing little by little.
After a series of trivial matters were discussed, the heads of Tai'a, Chongxu, and Taixu sects gathered together to finally decide on the specific matters of "merger".
There is no need to bother the ancestors with these matters, let them, the leaders, negotiate for the price.
Finally, the articles of association were finalized and submitted to the ancestor for review. The ancestor nodded and the matter was finalized.
In a sealed hall at Taixu Gate.
The heads of Tai'a, Chongxu and Taixu sects gathered together to discuss matters.
"The three sects merged. In name, the three sects were unified, but the positions of their respective heads and elders' teaching remained unchanged."
"Disciples remain unchanged."
"The authority of each sect remains unchanged."
"The ancestors and heads of each sect still have independent decision-making power over the affairs of their respective sects." Head Taixu said.
This is also a compromise.
Otherwise, if the authority of Tai'a and Chongxu is wiped out, it will really become "annexation".
This also runs counter to the original intention of the Taixu Sect to "join hands and help each other".
"However," said the head of Taixu, "if there is a major matter, the three sects must gather together and hold a meeting to discuss. Only the decision approved by the majority can be implemented."
"And I, Taixumen, have the right to veto."
This is the right of Taixu Sect.
The Taixu Sect is now powerful and has the highest status among the three sects. The three sects merged and did not ask for arbitrary power, but only asked for a "one-vote veto" power. This was already a big concession.
Head Tai'a and Head Chongxu also nodded in agreement.
Everyone knows these things well.
The head of Taixu then continued: "The following are some specific matters for communication..."
"The sect orders are interoperable. Disciples of the three sects can rely on their respective sect orders to visit each other's mountain gates without restrictions."
"Tai'aling, Chongxu Ling, and Taixu Ling are all treated equally and can be regarded as the tokens of the main sect after the merger of the three sects."
The sect order is very important, and it also symbolizes the disciples' belonging to the sect.
But now at the beginning of the merger, it is not appropriate to unify, lest the disciples of Tai'a and Chongxu become repulsive.
Moreover, the structure of the sect order is complex and the cost is high. It needs to use the thunder and magnetic array as the base, change the bottom layer of the array, expand the array hub, add sequences, and also embed the two major systems of reward basket and merit basket. In a short time, it is not possible to
So unified.
Especially the merit system, which is directly related to the inheritance system of each sect, cannot be changed rashly and can only be done step by step.
The head of Taixu said: "The merits of the three sects' tokens will be gradually opened up in the future, so that each other's merits and rewards can be shared."
"The rewards for each sect's meritorious service will be shared with each other first, and then gradually released according to the situation, and finally combined into one sect."
"But the core inheritance of each sect can be retained..."
"After the three sects merge, they will also learn from each other's teachings and teachings to their disciples."
"The elders of Tai'a, Chongxu and Taixu sects will move around to teach their disciples how to practice Taoism together."
"From now on, sword making will be taught by Tai'amen, sword energy will be taught by Chongxumen, and formation rules will be taught by me, Taixumen."
"This can also enhance the connection and feelings between the three sects step by step..."
"also……"
…
The merger and restructuring of the three sects was very complicated.
The three heads discussed everything from morning to night, and discussed the general matters one by one. The drafted regulations were also recorded on the jade slips.
Then, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief and each took a sip of tea.
But instead of being relaxed, the atmosphere became more serious.
Because all three of them knew that the next step was the most important, core, and most acute issue.
After a while, the head of Tai'a spoke first:
"After the three sects merged... what was their name?"
The "name" of the sect is very important.
If the name is not correct, the words will not be correct.
And a good name is related to the fate of the sect and even the rise and fall of the sect for hundreds of thousands of years.
What's more, now that the three sects are merging, this name is more related to the face, honor and disgrace of each sect.
The matter is so serious that none of the three of them can speak freely.
The head of Chongxu pondered for a moment and said slowly: "How about... should we use the name of the ancient sect from before?"
The head of Tai'a shook his head and said: "Do you really dare to use it?"
The head of Taixu also sighed: "That name is no longer allowed to be mentioned."
"Yes, all records have been cancelled."
"And the luck is too great to bear. Our three sects have already been forced to separate once. If we use this name again, maybe we will have to separate again not long after the merger."
"It's even more impossible for Daoting to agree..."
"We don't mention that name. It's okay just to unite the clan, which means that the weak are united and have no choice but to use that name. But using that name makes it appear ambitious and will definitely offend the Taoist court."
"Under such circumstances, it would be good to be able to hide from the four major sects, withstand the pressure from all parties, and successfully unite the sect. If it arouses the suspicion of the Taoist court again, then all the plots at this time will be aborted."
"You can't use that name."
"Yes, it must not be used..."
The three heads looked solemn.
"Then..." said the leader of Chongxu, "What name should I use?"
The atmosphere is a bit dull.
The head of Tai'a is tall and resolute, with a steady gaze.
The master of Chongxu, Jianfeng Daogu, has a bright light in his eyes.
The head of Taixu looked calm and looked like a Buddhist who cultivates his moral integrity.
The three of them had their own thoughts, but they didn't say anything.
After a while, when everyone was speechless, Head Tai'a couldn't help it anymore and spoke first:
"Well, before the three sects merged, my Tai'amen was the most famous, ranking first among the eight gates. I think it's better to just call it 'Tai'amen', which is also the most famous."
The head of Chongxu disagreed at first:
"What are you thinking about? That was before, you were so amen and now, you can't even be ranked in the eight gates..."
"According to me, our three sects still follow the ancestral duty and focus on sword cultivation. The sword energy of my Chongxu Sect is comparable to that of the four major sects. Although it is inferior, it is not much different. Therefore, the three sects merged
Finally, it would be better to use the name of Chongxumen, which is the most appropriate."
"No, no," said the head of Tai'a, "I, Tai'amen, have the most disciples. With many people and great strength, I am called 'Tai'amen'..."
"Didn't a group of disciples withdraw from the sect?" Chongxu's leader said.
"Even if there are disciples who withdraw, they are still the largest number." Tai'a, the headmaster, said, and then said disdainfully, "Moreover, those who withdraw are all people who follow the wind and only want to share joys and sorrows.
Even if these disciples retreat, they will make me, Amen, united..."
"But the qualifications of those left behind are not top-notch..." Head Chongxu said unforgivingly.
The head of Tai'a was not happy:
"How come it's not top-notch? Isn't it enough to have high-grade spiritual roots? It has to be top-grade?"
"Besides, how good do you have to be to be called good? No matter how good your qualifications are, if you don't have a sense of belonging to the sect, don't work together, and run away when trouble comes, you are still a bad boy! What use can I teach you to teach such a white-eyed wolf?"
"That's what I said, but in the Sword Discussion Conference, what we look at is qualifications, cultivation, and ability!" Chongxu Sect Leader raised his eyebrows and said, "My Chongxu Sect is different."
"In my Chongxu Sect, there is a swordsman genius who is rare to see in five hundred years. The most valuable thing is that he is of the same mind as my Chongxu Sect and will never leave him even now."
"In the next sword discussion conference, this boy will shine and become the number one swordsman among our three sects, enough to compete with the four major sects!"
"And the sect is proud of its disciples. My Chongxu sect disciple has the highest talent. In my opinion, I named him 'Chongxu'."
"No! It's better to use Tai'a."
"Chongxu."
"Taa!"
"As long as you name it Chongxu, I can open the door to teach all the disciples of the three sects the sword energy method of Chongxu Sect."
"Then I, Tai Amen, can also teach you how to make swords..."
…
The two of them were arguing endlessly.
But after the two argued for a long time, they found that the head of Taixu on the side was silent, and they couldn't help but feel confused.
"You Taixu Sect, don't you have any comments?"
The head of Taixu had a Buddhist look on his face and waved his hand, "It's just the name. The Taixu Sect doesn't care. You two can discuss a plan and be satisfied with each other."
At this time, both the heads of Tai'a and Chongxu couldn't help but be surprised.
Is Taixumen so generous?
They thought Master Taixu was joking, but they saw that his expression was indifferent, and he looked aloof, not caring about anything external around him.
Thinking of his usual Buddhist attitude towards others, they all nodded, feeling relieved.
The head of Tai'a agreed: "Then it's settled, it will be called 'Tai'amen'."
"You have such a big face, what do you mean it's settled like this?" Head Chongxu was not happy.
"The Taixu Clan all agree."
"What nonsense are you talking about? When did Taixu Clan agree to it? They just didn't argue, and they didn't say they would give it to you. Besides, I haven't agreed to Chongxu Clan yet."
"Why don't you know what is good and what is evil?"
"You don't know what's good and what's good!"
The two argued for a while and almost got angry.
When the head of Taixu saw this, he sighed, acted as a peacemaker, and said sincerely:
"The original intention of the merger of the three sects is that the three sects can work together and be powerful. If there is an endless dispute over the same name, wouldn't it backfire..."
Head Tai'a and Head Chongxu both felt a little ashamed when they heard this.
It's not that they have to fight, but the sect's interests lie here.
As leaders, even if they are shameless, they still have to fight.
But it would really be unseemly to continue fighting like this...
The head of Taixu pondered for a moment and sighed:
"Well, let's do this. Since you two are arguing endlessly and can't make up your mind, why don't you each take a step back. The names of the sects after the merger of these three sects will take one word from each of the names of your two sects and combine them into one name.
, in this way, everyone will be fair."
"Take one word each?"
"good."
Head Tai'a and Head Chongxu looked at each other, then each thought for a moment, and both nodded involuntarily.
They didn't think about it for a moment, they just felt that this way was indeed the most fair and acceptable to both parties.
"Okay!" said the head of Tai'a, "then let Taixu Sect take these two words."
This is also fair to Taixumen.
The leader of Chongxu also nodded and said: "This is the best."
But as soon as he finished speaking, I felt a subtle sense of disobedience, as if something was wrong...
But it's too late.
The head of Taixu’s eyes lit up and he said:
"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey orders. Let's do this. I've thought about it. After the three sects merged, take the word 'Tai' from Tai'amen and the word 'Xu' from Chongxumen. Together, they will be the sect's
Name."
"Take the word "Tai" from Tai'amen, and take the word "Xu" from Chongxumen, and..."
Head Tai Ah returned to the future, his eyes widened immediately, he slapped the table and said:
"Isn't this just too vain?! Okay, I asked you why you didn't say a word, and you were waiting here for a long time?"
I was actually deceived by his calm appearance.
He said, it is about the name of the sect, how could anyone really be indifferent?
After working on it for a long time, this guy with a Buddhist look is the most insidious one!
The head of Taixu smiled slightly and said:
"You agreed to this. You agreed to choose the names from your two sects. You agreed to let me choose."
"Since you have all agreed, let's just settle it. After the three sects merge, they will be called the 'Taixu Sect'."
"Everyone is the leader of a sect, and every word is more important than Mount Tai. You can't just keep your word..."
Master Tai'a's face turned red from suppressing his emotions.
The head of Chongxu was also speechless.
But the words have been spoken, and they have handed them the words. To go back on my words at this time is tantamount to a slap in the face.
The leader of Chongxu sighed: "Then let's do this."
The head of Tai'a was also a little reluctant and said: "Then let's use 'Taixu' as the name..."
Taixu leader Yun Danfeng smiled softly.
Of course, the three people here actually understand it in their hearts.
Although they argued for a long time, the name of this new sect will definitely be decided by Taixu Sect in the end.
The situation is stronger than the person, and the game between sects ultimately depends on strength.
Today, Taixu Gate ranks third among the eight gates and has the greatest reputation.
When it comes to inheritance, the three sects are of the same lineage and complement each other, so it is difficult to really distinguish between them.
But no matter how strong the sword is, no matter how powerful it is, it is not unique.
The most unique thing is actually the Taixu Sect's divine sword technique.
Even if the Divine Mind Sword Technique can no longer be passed on, if you improve it on the original basis and iterate it into the Sword Intent Technique, it will still be an extremely profound inheritance of swordsmanship.
Things like sword intention may be weak and not very powerful when building the foundation, but after cultivating the golden elixir and having deep consciousness to a certain extent, sword intention will begin to show its edge.
The feathering is stronger, and the higher the cultivation level is, the more terrifying the sword will be.
Such profound things can only be found in sects with deep foundations.
Therefore, based on this calculation, in terms of inheritance, Taixu Sect actually has the deepest foundation.
And when it comes to disciples, let alone that.
Tai’amen has the most disciples, but after all these twists and turns, very few stand out.
There is indeed a swordsman genius in Chongxu Sect, but that was in the future after all, and he had not yet participated in the sword debate, so his true combat power is unknown.
But even if he is really strong, he can at most be on par with the top geniuses of the four major sects.
But Taixumen is different.
There is a "monster" in Taixu Gate.
In the middle stage of foundation building, he ranks first in the discussion formation and is the leader of the formation. This is almost a crushing, cliff-like genius. He can basically "definitely determine" the leader of the next discussion formation.
This is a real, unparalleled genius.
Therefore, after all calculations, Taixu Sect is the strongest.
The name of the sect is of great significance. They are all the heads of their respective sects. No matter what, they must fight for it and try their best.
But if you can't fight, there's nothing you can do.
In this matter, the leader of Taixu seems to be playing tricks, but in fact, it can be regarded as giving everyone a step down.
Being plotted by Taixu Sect, the sect lost its name.
It is worse than admitting that they are indeed inferior to Taixu Sect, and then have to compromise and use "Taixu Sect" as their name.
What's more, what Master Taixu said is actually correct.
The two characters Taixu indeed contain the "Tai" of Tai'amen and the "Xu" of Chongxumen, and are indeed suitable as the name of the sect after the merger of the three sects.
This matter is considered a done deal.
The head of Taixu changed his leisurely look, bowed his hands to the heads of the other two sects, and said solemnly:
"Don't worry, you two, there will be no bias in the merger of the three sects. The names of each sect will not be discarded."
"After that, the three sects were combined into one, collectively called the 'Taixu Sect', and their respective disciples were called according to the mountain sect they were in."
"Tai'a Mountain, Chongxu Mountain, Taixu Mountain, the disciples of the three mountains are combined into one lineage."
"Three mountains and one ridge are connected by the same spirit, we are in the same boat, and we work together with one heart!"
The head of Tai'a and the head of Chongxu also raised their hands and said:
"Three mountains and one lineage, work together as one!"
The voices of the three masters echoed in Taixu Mountain.
Since then, the largest sect in the Qianxue State has come together again after thousands of years of ups and downs since its separate branches.
…
The agreement of the three sects to merge instantly caused an uproar in Qianxue Prefecture.
Especially the four major sects were shaken from top to bottom.
"So... shameless!"
"So shameless!"
"How do they do it? They don't even want the foundation of the sect? Just say they can make it together?"
"Are you kidding! You have been on your own for so many years, why are you still playing 'if we unite for a long time, we will break up, if we stay apart for a long time, we will unite'?"
Some people are also confused: "Why hasn't there been any news before?"
"Cause and effect are covered..."
"It's the work of the Taixu Sect ancestor..."
"No, it's not that simple...it's because of that monster from Taixu Sect."
"We were distracted by the array monster from Taixu Sect, which involved too much energy and calculation power. Everyone was counting on that shocking monster. As a result, the lights were dark and they ignored the little moves made by Taixu Sect."
"Using the emergence of the formation 'monster' to confuse the public and conceal the cause and effect, in order to secretly promote the merger of the three sects..."
"Use thunderous means to win a quick victory. By the time we realize it, it's already too late..."
"Is this part of their plan?"
"The scheming of the ancestor of Taixu Sect... is truly unfathomable..."
"Silence, Ancestor Dongxu, are you and I allowed to criticize you?"
…
The four major sects were either shocked, emotional, angry, or worried, and their emotions were mixed at the moment.
Qian Dao Sect, above the high pavilion.
The ancestor of the Shen family, dressed in rich clothes, frowned as he looked at the jade slip in front of him.
Elder Shen knelt down, not daring to raise his head:
"The secrets of heaven and earth cause and effect, making noises in the east and attacking in the west, and secretly creating a warehouse..."
"Moreover, the Taixu Sect moved too quickly. Everything was taken care of from top to bottom. The Qianxue Sect was reorganized and there was no mandatory requirement to not allow the sects to merge. A loophole was taken advantage of."
The main reason is that none of them expected that the divided sects could actually give up their own sects and unite again.
This is difficult to understand in the eyes of the monks from Qiandao Sect.
"The Daoting side has also completed the regulations. It seems that a certain pavilion elder personally issued the words to handle special matters..."
"It's already too late for us to use our connections to obstruct it."
"In this matter, this junior has neglected his duty..."
Elder Shen buried his head on the ground.
The ancestor of the Shen family looked at the jade slip. After a moment, his frown slightly relaxed and he threw the jade slip aside.
"That's all. Just tie three grasshoppers to a rope and save yourself the trouble."
"Tai'amen and Chongxumen are now severely weakened. Taixumen is a little better, but they all relied on good luck and a formation genius to get into the top three of the eight gates."
"Even if the three-strand rope is twisted together, it cannot catch up with any of the four major sects."
"What's more, in the Dao Discussion Conference, the sword discussion is the big one. If they can't make a breakthrough in the sword discussion, they can only linger like this."
"It's not your fault, get up..."
Elder Shen breathed a long sigh of relief, shouted "Ancestor Mingjian." and then slowly stood up.
But before he could stand up completely, the ancestor of the Shen family focused his eyes again and asked him:
"I don't blame you for this, but are you... hiding something from me?"
Elder Shen trembled and said in a hoarse voice: "Ancestor, I don't understand what you mean..."
"Did you..." the Shen family ancestor said indifferently, "by hiding it from me, you ruined your place of origin?"
As soon as these words came out, it was like a bolt from the blue.
Elder Shen's body was like chaff, and he immediately fell to the ground and confessed, "Ancestor, I, I was careless, I..."
The ancestor of the Shen family looked at him contemptuously, shook his head slightly and said:
"alright."
Elder Shen was still afraid and did not dare to speak.
"This is not a big deal," said the Shen family ancestor. "In the final analysis, he is just a genius disciple."
"The world of cultivation is huge, and there are often amazing geniuses."
"But things like 'genius' are extremely fragile and difficult to grow."
"Cultivation is a long journey, and anything can happen..."
"The so-called geniuses are those who have experienced setbacks and failed to recover; those who were amazing when they were young but lost sight of everyone when they got older; those who have a long road and are frustrated and decadent; those who are obsessed with the world of mortals and are willing to fall; those who are envied by others and suffer hardships There are people who persecute people; there are also people who are arrogant and seek death..."
"Young geniuses, when they grow up, can be successful in cultivating Taoism, and there are very few who can suppress one party."
"Most of the giants of a party were not very talented when they were young. After going through hardships and forging ahead, they matured late and became powerful monks."
"That evildoer called 'Mo Hua' is just building a foundation in the final analysis. Don't be surprised by the temporary fame and mess up your position."
"Yes, great ancestor," Elder Shen said with lowered hands.
The ancestor of the Shen family thought about it for a moment, his eyes showed contemplation, and then he said:
"Furthermore, I don't believe that he really cultivated his spiritual consciousness by himself. It must have been borrowed from somewhere else or stolen by some strange means. It may not really be his own."
Then he snorted coldly, "In the middle stage of foundation building, can you really win the leader of the formation with the peak of nineteen lines? The moisture in this is too great. Is it true that none of the monks in the world have seen the world?"
Elder Shen felt relieved after hearing what his ancestor said.
He also felt that this matter was somewhat ridiculous.
It's just that he saw it with his own eyes during the Array Competition before and was shocked in his heart, so he didn't think about it for a while.
Elder Shen said again: "Ancestor, I am afraid that this child has the ancient order of entering the sect and worshiping the mountain gate. I am afraid that there is some chance and cause and effect..."
The ancestor of the Shen family shook his head, "You don't know the origin of ancient fate. Now that things have happened, how can there be any chance?"
"The Great Dao is fifty, and Tianyan is forty-nine. It's already a number of forty-nine. The ones who deserve to die are all dead, and the ones who deserve to die are all gone. Isn't it a joke to talk about opportunities?"
Elder Shen didn’t quite understand what he said, but he held his hands in his hands and said as usual:
"Yes, my ancestor is wise."
The ancestor of the Shen family silently glanced at Elder Shen again and said coldly:
"Your biggest fault in this matter is not that you confiscated this disciple, but that something happened and you didn't want to report it, and you still wanted to hide it."
"According to normal rules, your position as an elder will be erased, but I will give you a chance..."
"Find your own way and use any means to seize the leader of the next debate conference."
"I only look at the results. As long as the leader of the Formation Dao belongs to my Dao Sect, I will put the blame aside and you can still be reused. Otherwise, you will have to be demoted to an ordinary elder and spend tens or hundreds of years to climb up again step by step. climb."
Elder Shen sweated coldly, but he had no room to refuse the ancestor's order. He could only kowtow and say:
"Thank you, ancestor, for your forgiveness. I will do my best without any hesitation!"
The ancestor of the Shen family waved his hand.
Elder Shen did not dare to say anything and retreated respectfully.
After Elder Shen left, the ancestor of the Shen family sat alone in the white jade tower, thinking silently.
After burning the incense, he shook his head and sneered:
"Everyone is dead, do you want to be left alone?"
"What do you think of me as the Daoist Sect?"
"Nowadays, we are not what we used to be. We still treat our Qian Dao Sect as a subordinate sect. I have to be humble and accept your karma."
The ancestor of the Shen family snorted coldly.
…
The matter of the merger of the three sects has been settled.
By this time the news had spread.
Not only the outside world, but also the disciples of Tai'a, Chongxu, and Taixu sects were all in an uproar when they learned the news.
They never expected that the three sects were originally going their own way, but they had some ancestral connections, but in the blink of an eye, they would become a united sect.
The ink painting was also very surprising.
He hadn't thought that the three gates might reunite, but he didn't expect that such a day would actually come to pass.
And this day came so quickly and a bit suddenly.
He thought again about what Mr. Xun said to him a few days ago:
"Once a little senior brother, you will always be a little senior brother. You can't change it. And maybe after a while, you can be a little senior brother to more people..."
Ink Hua was a little surprised.
What Mr. Xun said turned out to be true...
Moreover, the three sects merged...
Mo Hua touched his chin.
It seems like this "little senior brother" of mine has become "bigger and stronger" if he doesn't pay attention...
Chapter completed!
