Chapter 389: Six Sects Compete for Glory, Five Sects Test
Xiaguang Island is more than a thousand miles away from the Xizhou mainland and has a diameter of about fifty miles. It is considered to be a very large island in the Xuanwei Sea.
Before, there were thousands of families living on this island, most of them were fishermen, and some were businessmen doing maritime trade. Although life was difficult in the wind and waves, it was manageable.
But a few days ago, when the Netherworld Immortal was refining the Blood Evil Flag, the human race on this island suffered a disaster. Nine out of ten houses were empty, and the vegetable fields on the island were deserted.
Besides, there are no valuable spiritual objects nearby.
No one came to the island anymore, and it slowly became deserted. It has been nearly half a year now, and the houses on the island have gradually been overtaken by weeds, while the wooden stakes on the dock have long been broken by the sea breeze.
But today, the island is bustling again.
One boat after another cut through the waves and headed towards the dock.
In the sky, there were colorful rainbow lights, which turned the waves on the sea into mottled neon lights.
Everyone who comes here is a monk.
The purpose of their coming here is for one thing - the Five Sects Alliance will be held on Xiaguang Island.
On the sea, a ship was also heading towards Xiaguang Island.
A little girl leaned against the window, looking at the flying magic weapons scattered all over the sky, muttering, "There are so many people!"
Behind her was a middle-aged man with a dignified face. He smiled when he heard the words, walked to the girl and explained, "Since the news of the Five Sects Alliance spread, I don't know how many people have gathered here."
"Why did you come?"
Before the middle-aged man answered, he suddenly looked to the side.
A man and a woman were flying side by side over the sea, and they seemed to be heading towards Xiaguang Island.
With a little sense, he knew that among the two, the man was not a big concern, but he was in the late Jindan stage.
The woman's strength was extraordinary, she was already in the Nascent Soul stage.
He had some ability to judge people. He saw that although the woman was young, her cultivation was not inferior to his own. He was afraid that she was a young talent. He immediately wanted to make friends with her and shouted, "My two Taoist friends, if you want to go to Xiaguang Island, the journey is still long. Why don't you get on the boat and travel together?"
Zheng Fa and Senior Sister Zhang looked in the direction of the voice and saw that he had a kind face, as if he was sincerely inviting them. They looked at each other and flew towards the ship.
After entering the ship, Zheng Fa discovered that the ship was actually a magic weapon, with a different world inside.
This building ship looks like it has only three floors, but as soon as you enter you can tell that the space is vast. Each floor is several acres in size. The bottom two floors are divided into dozens of rooms, but the third floor looks like a courtyard, with rockery, lakes, pavilions, towers, courtyards within courtyards, and doors within doors. It is truly extraordinary.
The middle-aged man greeted the two people and said, "I am Deng Cheng, the head of Beihe Sect. Nice to meet you two Taoist friends. May I ask your names?"
Zheng Fa cupped his hands and said, "My surname is Zheng, and my sister's surname is Zhang."
Seeing that it was Zheng Fa who answered, and Senior Sister Zhang looked like she was more focused on Zheng Fa, Deng Cheng's eyes flashed with a strange look, but he didn't ask, just pointed to the dozen people behind him and introduced them: "This is my Beihe Sect elder and true disciple."
"This is my daughter Deng Yan."
Zheng Fa understood it at a glance. It seemed that this Sect Leader Deng had brought all the elite members of the sect with him.
This sect is not weak. Including the leader, there are five Nascent Souls, which makes it stronger than the previous Jiushan Sect.
Just look at this ship and you will know that it is quite luxurious.
Zheng Fa didn't bring anyone else.
In the past, he did not leave the Nine Mountains Realm because he was cautious. But this time, he could not be cautious—not only could he not be cautious, he even had to be more confident.
If you hide in the Nine Mountains, you will be exposed as a coward.
The people from the Nine Mountains Realm couldn't help, so naturally they didn't come.
But this is not very safe after all, so Senior Sister Zhang must accompany her, and she also brought Qingjingzhu with her.
With the Fusang wood hidden in Zheng Fa's body and the Wan Yao Banner in his storage bag, he still had a chance to breathe when facing Dao Guo. According to the worst plan of the two, he and Senior Sister Zhang could also use the method of turning into a rainbow to find a way out.
This is also the reason why Zheng Fa dared not to bring the Nine Mountains Realm.
Everyone walked to a reception room and sat down. Sect Master Deng asked, "Do you two want to go to Xiaguang Island to witness the Five Sects' Alliance?"
Zheng Fa smiled and nodded without comment.
This Master Deng seemed like a talkative person, and he sighed again:
"The Five Sects' Alliance is the most grand event in this era of my Xuanwei Realm."
"The fate of our sect can be said to depend on these few days. Who wouldn't care?"
"I'm afraid everyone who has the ability to come here has already come."
Hearing this, the elders and disciples behind him also looked gloomy.
Zheng Fa also understood their frustration:
The purpose of the Five Sects Alliance has been figured out by these immortal sects in recent days, which is to divide up the power of the immortal sects.
To be honest, most people in the sect were reluctant to do so. Immortal cultivators are already high and mighty and do whatever they want. Who would want to have another father above them?
But... no one can resist.
It is really hard to describe the feeling of having to come and witness this kind of fate being in the hands of others.
Zheng Fa naturally couldn't mention that he was here to attend the meeting at this time -
On the one hand, it may seem like showing off, but to be honest, it is unnecessary.
On the other hand, deep down, he actually didn't know what the outcome of this trip would be.
In fact, if it weren't for the purpose of dispelling the suspicion of the Five Sects, he would probably hesitate to come.
His daughter Deng Yan seemed to notice her father's depression and leaned towards Deng Cheng's body sensibly.
Deng Cheng smiled, took his daughter Deng Yan's arm, and said, "It's my little daughter Yan'er. I came here to find a future for her."
Zheng Fa looked at the little girl, a silver light flashed in his eyes, his heart suddenly moved, and he looked at Senior Sister Zhang.
There was also some interest in Senior Sister Zhang's eyes.
Although I have not had any contact with her, judging from the spiritual energy around this little girl, this girl is extremely talented. She should have a single spiritual root and a Taoist body.
What’s even more interesting is that this body is probably not ordinary.
Zheng Fa now has some guesses about the Tao body - in his opinion, the Tao body is probably an incomplete version of some Tao fruit cultivators. For example, the Qingyang Tao body corresponds to the Fusang wood Tao fruit.
In this way, the Tao body also has differences in high and low levels.
The spiritual energy surrounding this little girl is extremely special, and it seems to be vaguely in harmony with the stars in the sky. Her Taoist body is probably extraordinary.
"My daughter has the most talent I have ever seen in my life. She can learn any skill once she is taught, and she becomes an expert once she learns. She makes rapid progress..." Seeing that the two men could see the peculiarity of his daughter at a glance, Deng Cheng paid more attention to them, but his tone was a little proud.
The little girl blinked, still confused.
But Zheng Fa guessed what he was thinking.
"You want her to join the Five Xuanwei Sects?"
"It's so that she can join the Five Xuanwei Sects." At this point, the middle-aged man's eyes dimmed, "In the future, she won't be like us, with no way forward and at the mercy of others."
He really has a kind fatherly heart.
"Now that the five sects have gathered together, I will bring her here to try my luck. If she can catch the eye of some powerful one..."
"Even if you reach the Dragon Gate one day, there will be hope for the future."
The little girl named Yan'er seemed to understand something and held her father's sleeve tightly, as if she was unwilling to join the Five Sects and leave her father.
This is normal. The little girl looks only four or five years old. How could she know what the Five Xuanwei Sects mean?
When I heard that I was leaving home, I naturally felt reluctant.
But Deng Cheng seemed to harden his heart at this moment and said:
"Yan'er, the Five Sects are the most powerful sects in Xuanwei. No other sect can compare to them."
"If you join one of the five Xuanwei sects, we will have a backer in the future..."
A Yuanying elder from the Beihe Sect who was sitting nearby also nodded.
"That's right. I'm afraid that in the future this Xuanwei world will be completely controlled by the five sects... We should prepare early."
"If Yan'er can join one of the Five Sects, it will be a good thing for her, and it will also be helpful to us."
Upon hearing this, Zheng Fa also agreed with these people's judgment.
The pattern of the five sects ruling the world cannot be changed. For many immortal sects, the best way is to send the talents in the sect to the five sects, strengthen the ties, and become the five sects' own people.
Deng Yan was quite smart. After hearing this, the reluctance on her face gradually faded away. Her big eyes were full of determination. She said to Deng Cheng: "Dad, I will definitely join the Five Sects!"
The middle-aged man nodded with a smile, but the smile was a little sad.
He loved his daughter very much, and although he also wanted her to join a powerful sect, he thought that if his daughter did not join one of the Five Xuanwei Sects in the future, it would be fine. If she did join one of the Five Sects by chance, at such a young age, she would have to please the disciples and protect the Beihe Sect.
Sad, I'm afraid.
He even felt embarrassed about selling his daughter for fame and fortune.
But... he had no choice.
This is the best option.
In fact, this idea might just be a delusion... If this delusion were to come true, it would probably arouse the envy of thousands of sects.
Master Deng wanted to say something, but suddenly turned around and looked at the sky outside the window.
In the sky, the weather has changed.
They are approaching Xiaguang Island!
The time for the alliance has come, and the five Xuanwei sects are coming one after another!
From the west, Buddha's light fills the sky and shines on the sea.
Everyone on the ship looked up and saw rolling auspicious clouds covering the sky and the sun, coming from the direction of Xizhou. A Buddha head with lowered eyebrows was looking down at all living beings behind the auspicious clouds.
His eyes were bigger than the tallest mountains, and his gaze penetrated through the clouds, seeming to be gazing compassionately at the monks on the sea.
"Leiyin Temple!"
The middle-aged man explained to everyone with a trembling voice.
The little girl Yan'er opened her mouth wide and could only nod.
Auspicious clouds rolled, and the Buddha's head disappeared. Only an old monk and five or six disciples stood in the void.
Wuzhi stood behind the old monk, his eyes looking towards the east, as if expecting something.
In the other corner of the sky to the west, there is a group of female fairies.
A dozen female fairies stood together, surrounded by flowers.
Their belts are like colorful clouds, carrying them thousands of miles in an instant.
Their breath turned into a breeze, calming the raging waves on the sea.
The sea surface beneath their feet was as calm as a mirror.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
These are the fairies of Yaochi.
To the east of Xiaguang Island are three factions from Dongzhou.
The Supreme Taoist is the most solitary, with only a middle-aged Taoist priest walking step by step on the waves.
He walked by nonchalantly, leaving behind him a path of purple air in the sky, mysterious and noble.
Haori Mountain was much more domineering. Dozens of strong men, led by the immortal Luo who had been seen before, stood on one side. Their aura was like the scorching sun, causing the sea water to steam. A vast white mist spread over the sea.
What Zheng Fa cares about most is naturally the Tianhe Sect where Xie Qingxue is.
The people sent by Tianhe arrived the latest, even later than Zheng Fa and his group.
In the southeast corner of the sky, the sword energy was mighty, like the most grand and magnificent meteor shower. The meteor shower fell, revealing the figures of a dozen sword cultivators.
Xie Qingxue stood behind a man.
Although Zheng Fa had never seen the man before, he recognized him at once - his eyebrows and eyes were 70% like Yan Wushuang! The five sects gathered at Xiaguang Island, but none of them were in a hurry to go to the island, but just stayed in different places.
The sky was actually divided into five parts by their momentum.
The auras of these five sects seemed to be testing and colliding with each other.
Zheng Fa thought that the five Xuanwei sects were probably not in harmony - the existence of this alliance must have been due to some external pressure.
As for Master Deng standing aside, no one knew what he was thinking. He probably had never seen a Daoguo cultivator.
Although the Five Sects' Dao Fruits did not target these small cultivators on the sea, he felt that it was difficult for them to even breathe in and out spiritual energy, so naturally he knew the strength of the Five Sects better.
"Is this... the Dao Fruit?"
Hearing him say this, it seems that after the battle with the Great Freedom Demon King, the name of Dao Fruit has become popular among some cultivators.
Everyone on the boat nodded, with some fear on their faces. Deng Cheng took the opportunity to teach his daughter, "Before, you were only in the sect, and you didn't know that the world was vast and there were many powerful people. I often praised you for your extraordinary talent, so you were a little arrogant..."
Deng Yan's face turned a little red.
"Now that you see these five sects' immortals, you should know that my cultivators are nothing. Your talent will be wasted if you don't study hard and find a good teacher to teach you the way."
Deng Yan nodded silently, looking at the confrontation between the five sects, each showing their skills. This girl must have gained some experience and really wanted to join one of the five sects.
Deng Cheng smiled and said:
"No one knows whether you can be favored by the five great masters... I just hope they can take a closer look at you..."
Deng Yan's eyes darkened, her cheeks puffed up, and she looked a little nervous.
But the next moment, Deng Cheng's tone began to stutter.
"Five, five sects...why are they all looking at us?"
When everyone looked up, they saw that the leaders of the five Xuanwei sects were actually fixing their gazes on their small building ship.
"Could it be that... Junior Sister is a natural talent?"
A disciple suddenly guessed.
Deng Cheng's face changed. Did he look down on his own daughter?
What would I do if the five sects started fighting because of me?
At this moment, in the sky, Luo Shangxian of Haori Mountain said, "Master Zheng, how are you?"
Deng Cheng suddenly turned around and looked at Zheng Fa.
Zheng Fa smiled at him and said, "I also have some connections in the Five Sects... If you need me, I can write a letter of recommendation."
"Ababa..."
Deng Cheng, who is usually very talkative and eloquent, seems like a mute at this moment.
He stared blankly at his two passengers, nodded at him, and headed straight into the sky.
Zheng Fa wanted to show his strength today, and the golden elixir in his dantian was shining brightly.
His golden elixir was already powerful, and when it was first formed, it frightened Master Chengkong.
Now he has reached the late stage of Golden Core, and the power of Golden Core is more than ten times stronger than before.
At this moment, when we put all our strength into it, it really felt like the sun rising over the sea.
Deng Cheng watched Zheng Fa force his way into the sky occupied by the five sects. In the original five-sided vision, there was a dazzling golden sun, which looked even more powerful than before! Even Luo Shangxian and others could not help but look at him sideways at this moment.
It’s not that Zheng Fa’s strength puts them under pressure.
But, who the hell has ever seen this kind of golden elixir? Is this a golden elixir?
On the boat, Deng Cheng closed his eyes, took another look, and then said with relief: "This Sect Leader Zheng should pretend to be a golden elixir..."
Beside him, Deng Yan pulled his sleeve again and asked in a low voice:
"Isn't it said that the Five Xuanwei Sects are the most powerful sects in the world?"
She was smart, but at this moment she couldn't help but stretch out her fingers, counted on them, and said in confusion: "Why are there six?"
Deng Cheng's face changed constantly, and he was unable to answer the question.
It turns out that someone... has another way.
It turns out that there is someone who can stand shoulder to shoulder with the Five Sects.
…
Not to mention that he felt it was strange, even the five Dao Fruits in the sky had inexplicable looks in their eyes at this moment.
The Five Sects have stood at the top of Xuanwei for at least an era and hundreds of thousands of years, and no other immortal sect can stand shoulder to shoulder with them.
What's more, Zheng Fa and Senior Sister Zhang's cultivation level is only the Nascent Soul stage at most.
Wouldn't that arouse suspicion?
Luo Shangxian and the other four Dao Fruit cultivators looked at each other, whispered a few words to each other, and the look he gave Zheng Fa was somewhat meaningful.
He said loudly:
"My fellow Taoists and I haven't seen each other for a long time. Why don't we... discuss Taoism?"
Zheng Fa was stunned, but saw that the five sects' Daoguo all smiled and showed strange signs at the same time.
A wooden bow appeared behind Luo Shangxian's head, and a long sword condensed in front of Tianhe Sect's Sect Leader Yan.
The visions of the other three people were also somewhat extraordinary. The vision of the female cultivator of Yao Chi Daoguo was like a strange flower. On the auspicious cloud above the head of the Taoist priest Tai Shang, there was a Yin-Yang Tai Chi diagram floating. The old monk of Leiyin Temple did not change much, but the Buddhas around him became more real and delicate, and looked like a real Buddha descending to the earth.
These visions are, of course, not just beautiful to look at.
Zheng Fa felt that the spiritual energy between heaven and earth had changed immediately, and he even felt that it was difficult to breathe! And these five sects seemed to really want to test his weight. The five strange phenomena all came towards Zheng Fa.
Instantly, the entire world seemed to be rejecting Zheng Fa...
Senior Sister Zhang's beautiful eyes were filled with anger, and she seemed to be about to raise the Qingjing Bamboo in her hand.
However, Zheng Fa held her hand, and the hibiscus tree in his dantian appeared in the sky. From the hibiscus tree that blocked out the sky, a breath that made Zheng Fa feel at ease came.
All the pressure in his body disappeared.
Below, Deng Yan, who was clenching her fists, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief at this moment.
Deng Cheng, who was standing beside him, had an even more suspicious look in his eyes.
But the Five Sects' Daoguo seemed not to have tested them enough. They had long known that Zheng Fa possessed the Fusang wood, so they were not surprised at this moment. They only saw the old monk from the Leiyin Temple take a look at Senior Sister Zhang's Qingjing Bamboo, and then he put his hands together, facing Zheng Fa, and silently recited scriptures.
The Buddha behind him suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes wide open with anger, showing an attitude of subduing a demon.
The sea beneath the crowd exploded with a loud bang, the sea water rushed upward, and the sea level dropped by ten feet out of thin air.
At first glance, everyone felt as if the world had been turned upside down.
Among the people of Tianhe Sect, Xie Qingxue's hand touched the hilt of the Qingping Sword.
There was a flash of black light in Zheng Fa's hand, and a black banner with thousands of beasts painted on it appeared.
"The Ten Thousand Demons Banner?"
Luo Shangxian exclaimed softly.
But the next moment, his eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at Zheng Fa and shouted, "Demon King?"
The aura on Zheng Fa's body at this moment is more like that of the Great Free Demon Emperor than that of the Great Free Demon Emperor!
The old monk from Leiyin Temple paused, as if frightened, and did not dare to take action.
