Beast Taming·Chapter 18: Clouds Moving in All Directions
Huajian Sect is located in a valley near the Domain Gate in the east of Zimuliuhua Domain. It occupies fifty-three peaks, which is a very large area in this area. There are three affiliated small sects under the sect.
Huajian Sect is divided into the outer sect and the inner sect, and all the disciples are female, which is unique in Zimu Liuhua Territory. Although Huajian Sect is not strong and can only be regarded as a small or medium-sized sect in Zimu Liuhua Territory, it is very desirable and well-known because all its disciples are female and of high quality.
The outer sect of Huajian Sect accepts guests, regardless of gender, so being a guest is definitely a good job for those who have ideas about the inner disciples of Huajian Sect.
Shi Yan was one of the two hundred guests in the outer sect.
However, today, the Sect Leader suddenly sent out a piece of news, which immediately ignited the passion of the entire Huajian Sect's outer disciples.
Sect leader Hua Ruo came out of seclusion yesterday and sent out a message today.
The headmaster, who has not accepted any other disciples since she accepted Mo Zixuan as a disciple, announced today that she will hold a competition within the next week to select her second disciple.
This news caused a sensation throughout the Huajian Sect, and this was not the most explosive news. The Sect Leader pointed out that not only inner disciples, but also outer disciples and guests could participate in this competition, regardless of gender.
As soon as this news came out, the entire Huajian Sect was in an uproar.
It was like launching a large-scale destructive secret technique into the sect, and the entire Huajian sect was suddenly in an uproar.
Not only the Huajian Sect, but also the outsiders were shocked by the news from the Sect Master. After all, the Huajian Sect did not accept male disciples, which was a rule set by the founder himself. It has been passed down for 800 years and has never changed. It can also be said that it is a rule that can never be changed. And the decision made by the Sect Master Hua Ruo this time is clearly against the ancestral teachings. What kind of thing made her go to such lengths to break the rules passed down by the founder!
The sky and the sea float.
In the Pine Crane Hall of the Yunxiao Sect, on the Pine Crane Chair at the head of the hall, sat an old man in a silver robe. His hair, eyebrows, and beard were all white, but his face was completely wrinkled and rosy. This man was the head of the Yunxiao Sect, Yunling Zhenren, Chi Zuomei!
"I think everyone has heard about it." Chi Zuomei said calmly, closing her eyes and pinching her long beard.
"Master, are you talking about the Huajian sect?" asked Chang Linyuan, an elder of the Yunxiao sect and Chi Zuomei's left subordinate.
Chi Zuomei half-opened her left eye and nodded, "Yes, it's about the Huajian Sect."
On the right, another elder with thick eyebrows, big eyes, a beard like thunder, and strong bones, Yuchi Wei, said: "We have heard that this little girl Xipi is tired of accepting female disciples and has started to accept both men and women!"
"Old Wei, can you please speak more politely? This is the Pine and Crane Palace, not your countryside farmland!" A woman on the other side glanced at Yuchi Wei with dissatisfaction.
"Hongmei, this is not the first day you have known me, Old Wei. I speak like this. Let alone in the Pine and Crane Palace, even if we go to the High Heaven Palace, I will still speak like this!"
"Forget it, I won't bother with you. I just ask you not to use that word next time when you talk about us women. It's an insult to us women!" Wen Hongmei said seriously.
"Okay, I won't say that word, Niangxi... No, asshole!"
Chi Zuomei looked at the two of them, laughed and teased: "Hongmei, only you can control this old Wei. Nothing we say will work!"
A blush appeared on Yuchi Wei's rough and flaky face, and he smiled foolishly.
Wen Hongmei glared at Yuchi Wei and said unhappily, "If he really listened to me, it would have taken me a year to teach him not to call himself "me". Really, even a pig would have learned that by now!"
"Okay, let's get back to the topic." His face became serious. "What do you think?"
Yuchi Wei shouted nonchalantly: "Master, you are just looking for a disciple, what's the big deal!"
"Linyuan." Chi Zuomei knew Yuchi Wei's temper and ignored him. He turned to Chang Linyuan.
Chang Linyuan nodded, stood up, and swept his eyes calmly over everyone. Although it was just an ordinary glance, everyone still felt the chill in his eyes.
"Damn it, this piece of wood, Old Chang, has improved his skills again!" Yuchi Wei muttered in dissatisfaction.
"Our people discovered last night that there was an extremely strong fluctuation of spiritual power in a mountain a hundred miles east of Huajian Valley!"
"What does this prove?" Yuchi Wei Bo asked impatiently. He hated it most when people left things half-said and kept people in suspense.
"I think that is a secret place of Huajian Sect!" Chang Linyuan's words were still concise, without saying a word more.
Yuchi Wei couldn't believe it, "Secret realm? No way, Huajian Sect, a small sect with only a bunch of little women... uh... only a bunch of little women, would have a secret realm!" He almost called out the word "little women" again, but when he saw Wen Hongmei glaring at him, he quickly changed his words.
Wen Hongmei frowned and said, "Old Wei, don't underestimate the Huajian Sect. The Fairy Liufeng from eight hundred years ago was a person that the founder, Master Songhe, had to show respect to. She even refined the fifty-eight peaks of the Huajian Valley with her weapon-refining techniques, so a secret realm is no problem for her!"
"That's right." Chi Zuomei nodded and said seriously, "Never look down on others! Lin Yuan, what's your conclusion?"
"She's looking for someone." He thought for a moment and added, "Someone powerful!"
"Do you suspect it's related to the spiritual power emitted by the secret realm?" Wen Hongmei asked doubtfully.
Chang Linyuan nodded, "There has never been a situation like this before!"
Everyone bowed their heads and said nothing. They naturally believed in Chang Linyuan's words. Chang Linyuan was the great elder of Yunxiao Sect, so he would not do anything that was detrimental to Yunxiao Sect. Moreover, Chang Linyuan practiced the Kongming Sword Technique, which allowed him to hide in the void without being noticed by others. This made him extremely suitable for investigation and assassination, so naturally everyone would not doubt his information.
Chi Zuomei closed her eyes again. "This disciple-recruiting competition shocked the Zimu Liuhua Territory. I think that Sect Leader Hua will definitely not refuse us from going to watch it!"
The three elders looked at each other and understood what he meant. Even Yuchi Wei, who hated to use his brain the most, nodded solemnly and retreated together.
At the same time, Zhongtong Jianmen.
There is a mountain shaped like a sharp sword piercing the sky, named Chatian Peak. On the top of the peak there is a Bagua altar, each of which is pierced with a sharp sword. The eight swords represent Qian, Kun, Xun, Dui, Gen, Zhen, Li and Kan, which respectively represent heaven, earth, water, fire, thunder, mountain, wind and marsh.
There are sixty-four sets of swords on the periphery, and each set of swords represents a hexagram formed by the combination of the Eight Trigrams.
This is the famous Sixty-Four Hexagrams Sword Formation of Zhongtong Jianmen, and these sixty-four sets of swords can be combined with the eight swords of Qian, Kun, Xun, Dui, Gen, Zhen, Li and Kan into one set of swords, called the Eight Trigrams Seventy-Two Sets of Swords!
Gongyang Yichen wiped each sword carefully, straightened his bright yellow robe, and walked towards the people gathered at the altar.
This set of Eight Trigrams Seventy-two Swords was a set of swords awarded by the Taixuan Immortal Sect. Although each sword was only of the third grade, after being combined into the Eight Trigrams Seventy-two Swords, this set of flying swords directly became the sixth grade.
A sixth-grade flying sword is only a handful in the Zimu Liuhua Region, no, in the entire Bianyun Region.
So every morning, Gongyang Yichen would come in person and wipe it carefully.
"Where is Zhongyu?" Gongyang Yichen looked around and did not see Gongyang Zhongyu, so he asked.
"Reporting to the headmaster, the young master..." He secretly glanced at Gongyang Yichen and whispered, "The young master went to Huajian Sect to become a disciple!"
"I want to become your disciple in Huajian Sect?"
The man breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the master's expression did not show any sign of unhappiness. Although he was very confused, he did not dare to show it and nodded in agreement.
"Humph, I didn't expect this prodigal son to do something good!" He waved his hand, and the man respectfully withdrew. He said to the elder Zhang Yuanshu who was standing beside him, "Elder Zhang Yuanshu, I'm sorry to trouble you for your concern."
Uncle Zhang Yuan shook his head and said nothing. His body gradually faded away until it disappeared, as if he had never appeared here.
Gongyang Yichen looked towards the east and muttered to himself, "Hua Ruo, Hua Ruo, who on earth are you looking for? Who on earth would make you go so far as to break the rules passed down by our ancestors?"
Not only Kong Hai's Yunxiao Sect, but also the Zhongtong Jianmen of Chatian Peak, and other large and small sects were paying attention to this matter.
After all, the news that the leader of the Huajian Sect accepted disciples regardless of gender caused such a sensation that the attention of people in the entire Zimu Liuhua Region was focused here.
The leaders of various sects also speculated on the purpose of Hua Ruo's trip.
Everyone within the Huajian Sect is preparing for the competition, hoping to be chosen by the Sect Master to be accepted as a disciple.
In a short time, spies from the entire Zimu Liuhua Region gathered within a hundred miles around Huajian Valley.
At this moment, Shi Yan was heading towards the Domain Gate, preparing to leave the Zimu Liuhua Domain.
