Chapter 57: The Stick Holder(1/2)
In the "Liangtian Pavilion" in Zhending Mountain.
Hearing Xu Qingzhi's words, Taoist Shouzhen couldn't help but feel troubled.
'Do you want to open this mountain gate?'
The ‘Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect’ came with thirteen thousand sects eagerly. If the mountain gate is opened, will they take advantage of it and sneak in?
With the power shown at this moment, once he has evil intentions, Zhending Mountain will be razed to the ground in an instant.
But if the mountain-protecting array cannot be opened, wouldn’t the ‘Innate Yiqi Southern Sect’ just have an excuse to refuse to take the oath?
Suddenly, Taoist Shouzhen was in a dilemma.
While he was hesitating, a pale golden light flashed beside him. Lord Shouzheng, wearing a purple-striped Bagua fairy dress and a look of defeat, quietly appeared.
"Ahem~~"
One hundred and twenty years ago, Taoist Master Baoxu was attacked by Banxia Taoist of Sun Moon Star Palace and fell. Afterwards, Tao Te Sect was rebuilt and Taoist Shouzheng became the new leader.
Sixty years ago, Lord Shouzheng Dao and Lord Jiuren of the ‘Xiantian Yiqi Nan Sect’ met in the void. After a fight, the two were seriously injured.
Since then, Taoist Shouzheng has been recuperating from his injuries in the secret realm of the sect, and all matters in the sect, big and small, have been handed over to Taoist Shouzheng.
The attack of the 'Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect' was so fierce and powerful that Shouzheng Daojun who was in seclusion could not help but be alarmed. Seeing that his junior brother Shouzhen hesitated at the opportunity, he had no choice but to drag his injured body out of the seclusion.
After coughing a few times, Lord Shouzhengdao raised his voice and spoke.
“Since the ‘Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect’ and all of you are here to discuss the invasion of enemies from outside the territory, how can we, as the organizer of this operation, close our doors.
However, our ‘Liangtian Pavilion’ is simple and small, so I’m afraid we won’t be able to receive too many distinguished guests, so each sect can just send representatives.”
Without waiting for Xu Qingzhi and others to reply, Lord Shouzhengdao then issued an order:
"Give me the order:
Close the 'One Element Chain Empty Sequence Array' and open the mountain gate to welcome guests!"
"Please obey the teachings of the Master!"
After the promise was made, one hundred and twenty-nine thousand and six hundred pale golden light curtains quickly retracted, rushed back into the ground nodes of Zhending Mountain and disappeared.
Like a woman whose clothes are unbuttoned, Mount Zhending appears defenseless.
But if you look at it from another angle, Zhending Mountain is the home ground of the 'Taode Sect'. There are countless restrictions and formations, plus millions of disciples. It is no exaggeration to call it a dragon's pond and a tiger's den.
At this time, Mr. Shouzhengdao handed the problem back to Xu Qingzhi.
Facing the cross-examination, Xu Qingzhi smiled slightly, cupped his hands and saluted:
"It turns out that it was Master Shouzheng in person, but Wushuang was a little rude."
After a brief pause, Xu Qingzhi continued:
"Guests are welcome to host. Since Master Shouzheng invites you, Wushuang won't be polite."
Immediately afterwards, Xu Qingzhi turned around and spoke.
"Everyone, there is an invasion from a foreign enemy. Since we are people from this realm, we should resist with all our strength.
I order each of the large and small sects of the ‘Southern Alliance’ to send a representative to follow me into the mountain!”
Many of the primordial gods from the thirteen thousand sects bowed at the same time and solemnly agreed.
"Follow the decree of Master Wushuang!"
The unanimous shouts of tens of thousands of True Monarchs of Yuanshen shook the sky, directly causing changes in the vitality of the heaven and earth within thousands of miles nearby.
In an instant, I saw the changes in the sky and the earth, the shadows of the sun, moon and stars appearing out of thin air, starlight falling from the sky, golden lotuses emerging from the ground, and endless visions revealed.
In Zhending Mountain, the expressions of representatives of more than six thousand sects of the ‘Dao Sect Alliance’ changed when they heard this.
They were surprised not only by the overwhelming response of the tens of thousands of Yuanshen True Monarchs, but also by the obedient attitude of these thirteen thousand sects towards the 'Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect'.
They are also members of the 'Dao Sect Alliance', but the 'Dao Sect' does not have strong constraints on each sect and is at best a loose alliance group.
It can be seen from the attitudes of the various sects in the 'Southern Sect Alliance' that they have clearly formed an orderly and strict discipline and hierarchy.
We are all people who have been cultivating for hundreds to thousands of years. How can we not understand how huge the gap will be between the two once a war breaks out.
Mr. Shouzhengdao clasped his left hand in his sleeve. He was also shocked by such a magnificent scene.
The cracked cheek twitched uncontrollably, and he responded in a deep voice:
"Invite the 'Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect' and fellow Taoists from various sects to enter the 'Liangtian Pavilion' to discuss strategies to defeat the enemy!"
...
A quarter of an hour later.
In ‘Liangtian Pavilion’.
Nearly 20,000 cultivators in the Yuan Shen realm live together in the same hall. This kind of scene has never happened in the Azure Realm in the past nine thousand years since the immortal cultivators left the realm.
Lord Shouzhengdao was sitting in the high chair, but he felt that the chair was shaking under his buttocks.
Looking down from where he was, the 'Daozong Alliance' and the 'Nanzong Alliance' were clearly distinct, and they were full of wariness and distrust between them.
However, the more than 6,000 people of the "Dao Zong Alliance" who each wore their own sect costumes seemed so loose and weak among the 13,000 neat white robes.
After calming down, Mr. Shouzhengdao turned his attention to Xu Qingzhi.
This was the first time he saw the legendary most beautiful woman in the world. Even after thousands of years of cultivation, he was still shocked by Xu Qingzhi's peerless beauty, and his silent Taoist heart couldn't help but ripples.
Just seeing the person in front of me, I felt that the whole hall seemed to be glowing because of her appearance.
Turning his eyes, Shouzheng Daojun looked at the blue Three Treasures Ruyi on the crook of Xu Qingzhi's left arm. This is a symbol of the authority of the 'Innate One Qi Southern Sect'.
Then his eyes froze at the purple wooden staff exposed on Xu Qingzhi's shoulder.
First-grade innate spiritual treasure: Samsara Staff
The power of this treasure has been known to countless practitioners in the world.
The thirty-six demon kings of the "One Hundred Thousand Mountains" and the seventy-two leaders of the Zerg tribe were all hijacked by this thing.
Originally, the [Reincarnation Staff] was only a third-grade innate spiritual treasure, but through the countless resources of the ‘Innate Yiqi Southern Sect’ and the cultivation of one hundred and eight Tao Lords, this object was promoted to a first-grade innate spiritual treasure sixty years ago.
Facing this object, even Taoist Lord Shouzheng could not help but feel a sense of greed in his heart. By controlling this treasure, there is a great possibility of controlling existences at the level of one hundred and eight Taoist Lords.
Between this increase and decrease, the strength and weakness of the 'Xiantian Yiqi Nan Sect' and the 'Daode Sect' will immediately reverse.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! However, the [Reincarnation Staff] belongs to Ruyi Dao Lord Zhang Ke, and there are countless tricks involved in it. No matter how passionate the heart of Shouzheng Dao Lord is, he can only give up the idea with regret.
'Oh~, Taoist Ruyi really trusts Taoist Wushuang, and he dares to hand over such treasures to others.'
But then he thought about the various rumors between Wushuang Daojun and Ruyi Daojun, and he wasn't too surprised. After all, Ruyi Daojun's lustful nature was well known to the world.
Lord Shouzheng Dao had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but his face didn't reveal anything. He asked with a smile:
"I heard that the 'Sword Immortal' is also in the Guizong Mountain Sect. As one of the two Taoist companions of Ruyi Taojun, the leader of the 'Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect', why didn't he show up at such an important moment?"
Xu Qingzhi raised her eyebrows. In Shouzheng Daojun's short sentence, there was both instigation and sarcasm towards herself. How could she not hear it?
But how could she be a good person? She cupped her hand casually and said in an understatement:
“Our sect has recently successfully refined sixteen ‘Giant Divine Weapons’, and the Green Eyebrow Palm Order is currently testing these ‘Giant Divine Weapons’.
In addition, as the deputy head of this sect, I can decide all matters in the sect with a single word. The Green Eyebrow Commander has great trust in Wushuang, so there is no need to come."
"Hiss~~"
A clear sound of breathing sounded from the hall.
The 'Giant Divine Weapon' refined by the 'Xiantian Yiqi Nan Sect' is a Tao Lord-level existence.
Listening to Wushuang Daojun's wishes, his sect was able to refine as many as sixteen puppets at one time. Doesn't it mean that the 'Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect' has mastered the method of mass-producing Daojun-level puppets?
If this is true, how many 'giant weapons' have been refined by the 'Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect' over the past hundreds of years?
When I think about it carefully, I am horrified that all the representatives of the sects of the ‘Dao Sect Alliance’ changed their expressions upon hearing this.
Originally, it was shocking enough for the 'Daode Sect' to reveal nine Dao Lord-level guardians, but the power revealed by the 'Xiantian Yiqi South Sect' seemed to be even more powerful than the 'Daode Sect'!
‘Crack!’
A beloved jade that Lord Shouzheng Dao held in his right hand was crushed into pieces. It was obvious that he could no longer control his emotions.
Taoist Shouzhen on the side saw this and immediately spoke to relieve the siege.
"Wushuang Taoist Lord, since all the fellow Taoists here are here for the invasion of enemies from outside the territory, let us formulate a regulation on this matter."
Wushuang Daojun nodded slightly and agreed:
"The invasion of foreign enemies is a serious matter. Once they invade this realm, I am afraid that the life in the realm will be devastated.
In the past, if the head of our sect had not detected the movements of the Zerg in advance, plotted against the half-lord of the Zerg, and used the magical method to wipe out billions of Zerg in one fell swoop, this world would have been reduced to a nest of insects long ago."
"..."
Taoist Shouzhen was extremely angry. How come everything could be implicated in the ‘Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect’, but he really couldn’t refute these words.
Lord Shouzhengdao had come to his senses at this time. He ignored Xu Qingzhi, but faced the main hall and said:
"Fellow Taoists, in the past, sects across the world made an oath:
To be continued...
