Chapter 222 Everyone is like a dragon

On the second day, the morning light was shining on the mountains. The shadow of the sun in the east gradually rose from between the mountains. The Enforcement Peak was cold and quiet. Occasionally, one or two petals of peach blossoms fell on the bluestone. Wang Chaochen climbed the steps, and the hem of his wide robe brought the peach blossoms to life.

By the time he reached the top of the peak, the sun had already reached its zenith. On the peak stood a stone temple more than ten zhang wide, and on the west side of the peak stood a peach tree with a crown five or six zhang wide.

A man sat cross-legged under the peach tree, his long hair draped over his shoulders, his black hair moving in the wind. He said respectfully, "Disciple Wang Chaochen greets the ancestor."

This voice broke the silence, and tiny bits of sunlight shone through the gaps between the trees. Taoist Yuanchu chuckled and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Replying to the ancestor, Jiufeng has already made all the preparations for war, and I have brought this disciple here specially for your review and decision."

Wang Chaochen raised his hand, and nine jade slips floated in the air, rising and falling slightly.

Taoist Yuanchu swept his mind around, paused for a few breaths, and then asked, "What do you think?"

Wang Chaochen's eyebrows jumped slightly, but he still replied: "I think that although each peak has its own selfish motives, there is generally no problem."

"Generally speaking... once a war breaks out, there will always be disciples who will shed blood and sacrifice their lives. This is inevitable. But if the ones who die are disciples without the protection of their families, then what will the remaining disciples think?"

Yuanchu said softly: "Today's Qi Ling is no longer the Qi Ling Sect that struggled on the brink of survival. The ancestors of all generations have built up the Qi Ling Sect with their flesh and blood.

Of course, the sacrifices of the ancestors of the Qifeng Wang family were indispensable, but there were also sacrifices of other families.

Like the ancestor Yuhe back then, the safety of the sect depended on her. When the mermaids of Kehai attacked, she could have left and lived in seclusion.

But she did not leave. Everyone is selfish and for themselves. There must be a reason why a true cultivator on Nanjue Island would devote everything to this.

As the head of the sect, he has the authority granted by the golden elixir and can command Qi Ling Wan Xiu.

However, how can you make all the practitioners truly respect you, rather than just fear your power? Only then can you, as the leader, be the real leader of Qi Ling.

Just like the successive generations in power in the past, their names will be recorded in the family history and will be immortal for generations to come and will be worshipped forever.

Even when Chen Guan was in charge back then, when he first assumed power, not everyone respected him. At that time, there were only two true practitioners in the sect, and the other Qi-training disciples dared to respect him openly but secretly rebel against him.

But later on, even the ten or so true cultivators in the sect, even the high-ranking ones, all respected and honored him. Do you know the reason?"

Wang Chaochen, who was waiting on the side, heard this and replied, "Is it because the old master has a long history, a high seniority, and the support of the higher-ups?"

"No, Chen Guan only did one thing when he took charge, and his heart was only on Qi Ling." Taoist Yuanchu continued: "If you don't understand, read the Internal History, and if you have doubts, read the World History.

Go ahead, you should know what to do."

The nine jade slips returned to him. Wang Chaochen woke up from his deep thoughts and took the jade slips and bowed, saying, "Disciple thanks the ancestor for his teachings!"

After he left, Taoist Yuanchu under the tree couldn't help but be distracted, thinking about the Linglong Sect in the past. Every time there was a war, it was because their ancestor was invincible in Nanjue, so the Linglong Sect was invincible in Nanjue.

When it comes his turn to become the patriarch of a sect, since he cannot be invincible in the Golden Elixir, he can only keep his disciples in his heart.

It is easy to share adversity, but difficult to share wealth.

This is the situation of the Qi Ling Sect now. The major factions in the mountain are opposed to each other. The territory controlled by the mountain gate is fixed, and the interests are naturally fixed, but people are selfish and want to compete for interests and spiritual objects, so they will naturally fight each other.

He did not use his mind skills to control the minds of the disciples in the sect, because once he did so, he would be no different from other Jindan forces.

Only by educating with all your heart and influencing with a sincere heart can every disciple become like a dragon!

In the past, as the ancestor, even though he was incompetent and weak, he was the only support for the entire sect, and he managed to hold up the Qi Ling Sect.

From then on, as Xuanyuan, he was still weak, but he had countless disciples waiting for him. All the disciples in the sect were his hope!

Because everyone is like a dragon is not an empty talk, he did not hesitate to sacrifice himself to be in harmony with the Tao, change the fate of Qi Ling, and return the fate and fortune of the disciples in the Qi Ling sect to himself. They, everyone has the destiny of the golden elixir, and everyone has the hope of the great Tao!

But now, not everyone of them has the heart to make the golden elixir, and not everyone has the spiritual resources to make the golden elixir!

Different from the Twelve Immortal Sects and the Nine Continents Taoist Sect, all the living beings under their rule have their lives handed over to Heaven and their destinies belong to their sect and the Tao, but not to themselves.

Therefore, they are just ordinary people and can only be mediocre masses, even after experiencing thousands of lives!

Only Yuanchu knew all this, because the incomplete fates of the disciples were not truly returned to their bodies, but were all stored in the Xuanyuan Realm.

Therefore, even if the Sun and the Moon came to see in person, the disciples were just ordinary people with defective destinies, no different from the Twelve Immortal Sects and the Nine Continents Taoist Lineage.

Until, when they have the heart of the golden elixir and have completed the nine turns of cultivation, they chant the Xuan Yuan, are granted the blessing of life, and ascend to the golden elixir!

Yuanchu didn't dare to say a word, because his thoughts were too horrifying and too distracting.

Doing so is tantamount to making an enemy of the entire world!

Or to be more precise, they are enemies with those high and mighty Jindan Zhenren and Tiangong Zhenjun!

Once leaked, the Qi Ling Sect will never be allowed to continue to exist!

This is also the reason why he used his magical powers to seduce everyone to have the same thoughts. To have the heart of the golden elixir is not just an idea. It is necessary to go through untold hardships and tribulations to shape an extremely tenacious heart of Tao.

If they use supernatural powers to influence, then the different levels of supernatural powers they cultivate when they ascend to the throne will eliminate the influence of the Yuanshui supernatural power. How can the weak hearts of the disciples who have not been tempered succeed in ascending the throne?

Moreover, after the golden elixir, when the disciples learned that they had been bewitched by the ancestor, how would they feel?

The mountain wind blew, the sunset fell, and the slanting sun shone on Yuanchu Taoist. He looked at the birds returning to their nests and the sunset in the west, but he was not depressed. He just smiled and said, "The era of our ancestors was like the sun in the west mountain.

And the disciple's era is approaching like the rising sun!"

…

Wang Chaochen, who was in charge of the hall and was at the head, looked at the crowded place. Every one of them was a true cultivator, and there were a total of sixty years of cultivation!

And this is only a part of the true practice of Qi Ling Sect.

Seeing this scene, he suddenly realized that there were so many true cultivators in front of him, and each of them was a new generation of true cultivator whose cultivation level was not much different from his. Since they were all true cultivators, why should they willingly listen to him?

He coughed lightly and said, "Everyone!"

This message silenced the noise in the hall, and all the true practitioners stood behind the peak master, quietly.

"I have summoned you all here today because I need to discuss the details of the war arrangements with you."

Wang Chaochen bowed to the west and said, "A few days ago, I went to the Law Enforcement Peak to ask for the advice of the old ancestor.

War is no joke. It is closely related to the life of every disciple, and even the life of everyone present. We must not be careless!

Therefore, I have specially summoned you all here to rearrange the battle formations, dispatch disciples, and send spiritual resources. "

As soon as these words were spoken, all the true practitioners present were shocked, especially the peak masters who looked quite unhappy.

"Master, the war is approaching. If we make a big fuss and redeploy our forces, it will only delay the war." said Shen Qingfeng, the master of Lingkuang Peak.

The head of Zhenfeng, Xiang Xi, also said, "That's right, Master. Redeploying everything is of great importance, please think twice!"

Some of the deacons below also started to join in the discussion, and the hall was filled with a constant noise.

Wang Chaochen looked at everyone, raised his hand and said: "This matter has been decided, there is absolutely no room for negotiation!

If you are afraid of delaying the war, then re-establish it as soon as possible, you can still catch up!

Let me be frank with you. If anyone dares to care about their relatives and transfer disciples at will, don't blame me for using the punishment of the sect leader!

Those Qi Ling Sect disciples who do not have family factions must not be sacrificed and abandoned so easily."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned, because the new leader in front of them had been kind and friendly since he took office, and rarely made such a big fuss.

As a result, the scene became quiet for a moment, and no one responded.

Upon seeing this, Fufeng Peak Master Li Hanxing was the first to step out and responded loudly, "I will obey the Sect Master's order!"

As soon as he opened his mouth, Danfeng Peak Master Li Yiyan also responded: "I will obey the master's order!"

The Li family practitioners behind him also responded, and the remaining deacons had to respond quickly as well.

After all, within the Qi Ling sect, one has to obey the sect leader’s official orders and dignity!

All the cultivators on the scene bowed immediately, and even several peak masters had to follow suit and bowed in respect.

Wang Chaochen, who was at the head of the group, was quite moved when he saw this scene. He bowed and said, "Thank you all for your help, but for the sake of tens of thousands of Qi Ling disciples and the thousand-year-old ancestral precepts and sect rules of our Qi Ling sect, I have no choice but to do this!

Otherwise, the morale within the sect will be corrupted, and we, Qi Ling, will eventually become like the Linglong Sect, with people's hearts and minds scattered and unpopular. When the sect collapses again, everyone will flee when disaster strikes, and the foundation of four thousand years will be destroyed in an instant. Even after death, we will not be able to face our ancestors!"

Seeing that he had risen to the level of his ancestral foundation, the other peak masters did not dare to raise any objections no matter how dissatisfied they were.

At this time, Li Hanxing spoke again: "Master, when I submitted the battle plan a few days ago, I felt that it was inappropriate, so I summoned the deacons of various departments overnight to customize a new battle plan. Please review it!"

He held the jade slip in both hands, above his head, and the jade slip flew in front of the headmaster in public. During this process, every divine thought could glimpse the contents of the jade slip.

After seeing this, all the true practitioners couldn't help but sigh in their hearts. This Li Hanxing was a ruthless man. Not only did he not show any favoritism towards the Li family disciples during the deployment process, he even used more Li family disciples to replace them in some dangerous places.

Seeing this, Wang Chaochen couldn't help but be touched. He stepped forward and said, "Thank you, Master Fufeng! I was reckless a few days ago and offended you, Senior Brother. I hope you don't take it to heart."

"Master, you worry too much. How can I blame you?" Li Hanxing smiled and bowed, "Master, you are busy with many things every day, so it is inevitable that you will be careless sometimes, so we, the Nine Peaks, assist you."

The two lines of mustache on the mouth of Shen Qingfeng, the master of Lingkuang Peak, were trembling visibly. He knew in his heart that if everyone refused to submit new deployment, then the leader would be helpless.

But now that someone has submitted it, there is a comparison, and it will be difficult for them to make any changes.

But he had already collected a lot of spiritual objects, so was he going to give them back to those people? When he thought of this, he couldn't help but get a headache.

After seeing that the matter was settled, Wang Chaochen once again reminded everyone to treat them fairly and justly in order to maximize their combat effectiveness, and then he did not change the subject.

"The Qian Family of Lishan sent a letter yesterday, saying that in half a month, the old patriarch of the Qian Family will lead a group of Qian Family disciples to Qi Ling to visit their old place.

I hope Qi Feng can arrange the support for this matter, as well as the leader of Qifeng. I'm sorry to trouble Junior Sister Qian to come and welcome you."

As soon as these words came out, Qifeng Peak Master Qian Liuyu said happily: "Yes! Master! Junior Sister, I will definitely help you with all my heart. I haven't seen the old clan leader for a long time."

Li Hanxing's eyes flickered, "The old patriarch of the Qian family? It seems that Qian Shiyan has resigned from the position of the patriarch of the Qian family.

According to the clan history, he still has at least 300 to 400 years to live. It is impossible for him to return to his hometown before his death. Most likely..."

………

Half a month later, outside the mountain gate of Qi Ling Sect, teams of disciples lined up neatly on both sides, neon-colored glow covered the clouds, and the leader of Qi Peak and several stewards from the Qian Family stood outside the mountain gate waiting for a long time.

Until the sun was at its zenith, a burst of fire energy suddenly rose outside the mountain, and then a red fire fairy ship like a flowing cloud came with the light, and on the fairy ship there was a noon fire spirit flag fluttering in the wind.

Qian Liuyu's eyes showed joy, and she said with emotion: "I have been away from home for a hundred years. It is rare to see the spiritual flag of my family again."

The several deacons of the Qian family beside him also looked dazed. They left home when they were young and traveled thousands of miles across mountains and rivers to come to the Qi Ling Sect. Naturally, they felt different when they saw the visitors from their hometown again today.

The immortal ship stopped in front of the gate of Qiling Mountain. A group of young men from the Qian family dressed in fiery red robes filed out. The last one to come out was a gorgeous young woman wearing a phoenix hairpin and a scarlet palace dress. She stood in front of the magnificent gate of Qiling Sect, looked up at the three big characters "Qi Ling Sect" written on the gold background, and couldn't help but smile. She said to a young junior beside her, "After a hundred years, I can finally enter Qiling again."

Qian Liuyu hurried down the steps, and the sound of ritual music on both sides sounded. She half-knelt and leaned forward to salute and said, "Junior Qian Liuyu greets the old clan leader!"

The disciples on both sides of the long steps behind him also saluted and said, "Welcome Elder back to Qi Ling!"

The sound of ritual music echoed among the Qiling Mountains. Qian Shiyan looked at everything in front of her and said with genuine satisfaction, “Get up, Yu’er.

When I left, you were just at the beginning of Qi Refining. If we meet again, you will have become the master of a peak."

Qian Liuyu stood up with a smile and said, "Old Patriarch, you are joking. When we knew you were coming, we, the disciples of the Qian family, were so happy. Everyone in the sect attaches great importance to you. The head and the deacons are waiting for you in Fusang Square."

"Haha, I just came back to take a look, why do I need to make such a big scene?" Qian Shiyan shook her head and smiled, "I should be the one who is worried about Qi Ling."
