"How can someone be considered your disciple if they haven't formally joined your sect?"
The Lord of Yougui Mountain persisted, nitpicking and acting somewhat shamelessly. But there was nothing he could do. If he let this true disciple take the person away so easily, wouldn't his Youming Sect become a laughing stock?
"The apprenticeship ceremony had already been performed at that time."
A chilling wind swept over him, but Zhao Junxian's expression remained unchanged. However, above his head, a vast expanse of immortal light emanated, and a delicate pagoda quietly appeared.
It was a delicate seven-story tower, crystal clear throughout, as if carved from flawless jade. It hung above the white-robed youth, wisps of pure air cascading down its sides. It was simple and unadorned, without any particularly striking features.
At this moment, the many Yuan Dan cultivators present, as well as the many Human Immortals who had already embarked on the path of immortality, all wore solemn expressions, their eyes filled with awe, fear, and admiration.
The Seven-Jeweled Exquisite Pagoda!
This is a celestial treasure belonging to the Supreme Dao. Of course, the most famous one is the owner of this celestial treasure, Xuanqing Immortal Lord, who is currently the strongest person in the Supreme Dao. Although he has been in seclusion for many years to comprehend the Dao, no one can ignore a celestial immortal.
Among the most famous things about this celestial being, there are two that are often talked about by many cultivators. One is that his Daoist partner has also ascended to the path of immortality, has already established a blessed land, and has been ranked as an Earth Immortal. The other is that he, as a celestial being, actually had a child with an Earth Immortal.
For many cultivators, this is an extremely unbelievable thing. It should be known that the operation of the Heavenly Dao is predetermined, and the stronger the being, regardless of race, the lower the probability of it giving instructions at that moment.
Logically speaking, the possibility of having offspring after cultivating to the level of a Celestial Immortal is almost zero, as it would violate the laws of nature. Zhao Junxian's birth broke the norm and could be described as going against the heavens.
"Was this instructed by Immortal Lord Xuanqing?"
The Lord of Yougui Mountain regained his composure, even showing a hint of respect, because Zhao Junxian, who had a Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda on his head, was not only a Daoist disciple of the Supreme Dao, but also a Celestial Immortal representative who had already awakened, and the meaning he represented was completely different.
“My father recently emerged from seclusion and, having foreseen the arrival of this disciple I had taken on, instructed me to bring him back to have a look at him.”
Zhao Junxian smiled warmly, and the atmosphere in the room immediately changed.
The point has been made quite bluntly; to pretend to be ignorant would be ungrateful.
A celestial being specifically requested by name, and who was originally a disciple of his offspring in his early years, has no reason to obstruct him, no matter what.
"Since it was entrusted by Immortal Lord Xuanqing, we will naturally not cause any trouble."
As the Lord of Yougui Mountain spoke, he felt a surge of bad luck. He had originally thought that bringing Feng Bingwen back to the mountain gate would be a great achievement, but unexpectedly, a true disciple of the Supreme Dao appeared. He was lucky if he didn't get into trouble.
"Thank you for your understanding, Senior Ghost!"
Zhao Junxian expressed her gratitude.
"You don't need to thank me so soon. Even if it was Xuanqing Immortal Lord's order, there are some things that need to be made clear. Originally, I thought Feng Bingwen was a rogue cultivator and intended to recruit him into my Netherworld Path sect."
Therefore, my Netherworld Path spared no expense to secure him a spot to enter the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. Normally, this wouldn't be a big deal, but since he's a member of your Supreme Path, this matter needs to be taken into consideration.
Celestial Immortals do indeed hold a prestigious position, but so what? It's not like the Netherworld Path is without Celestial Immortals on guard. We are all part of the Twelve Paths of the Mysterious Gate. Even if the Supreme Path is the most powerful and is implicitly revered as the leader, it can't be so blatant in its schemes against others.
Yes, at this moment, the Lord of Yougui Mountain had only one thought: that his Youming Dao had been tricked by the Supreme Dao, or more precisely, by that immortal lord.
This matter cannot be settled so simply. The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Secret Realm is not something belonging to one family. It includes not only the Netherworld Path, but also the Heavenly Sword Path, the Blood Qin Empire, and the Three Continents. Nearly fifty sects have participated in its construction.
However, there was no trace of the higher order within. This was originally a secret realm reserved by factions advocating "enslaving all races and exclusively honoring humanity." All the opportunities and fortuitous events placed within were preparations for these prodigies to one day fight against demons and monsters, and to expand the territory of humanity.
Now, the Supreme Dao has outmaneuvered them, sending a "Daoist Child" into their ranks. In just a few months, this child has not only acquired several inheritances, but also magical treasures, mounts, followers, and everything else imaginable. Even their own prodigies haven't amassed as much.
Did they really think that a single word from a celestial being would be enough to make him take all the benefits and leave? That's a gross underestimation of them.
"Yes, what you say makes sense. When I came here, my father entrusted me with something to settle my karma as a disciple!"
Upon hearing what the Lord of Yougui Mountain said, Zhao Junxian nodded in agreement. Then, with a flick of his wrist, a small and exquisite palace appeared in his palm.
"go!"
Before the immortals and Yuan Dan cultivators could examine it closely, Zhao Junxian tossed his head up and the small, exquisite palace instantly expanded in the wind, quickly transforming into a majestic and imposing immortal palace, towering like a mountain, with a powerful aura. It was divided into eight sides, subtly revealing the shape of the Eight Trigrams.
"This is the Qian Yuan Eight Scenery Palace, built according to the principles of the Eight Trigrams. No matter who enters, they can see the eight gates. Each of the eight gates contains a lineage, corresponding to the image of the Eight Trigrams. As for how much one can obtain, it depends on the aptitude and character of the person who enters."
Sensing the doubts in the eyes of these Iron-Blooded Human cultivators, Zhao Junxian spoke up to explain, and this explanation immediately drew a chorus of astonished looks, followed by delight.
"Zhao Zhenchuan, are you handing over this Qianyuan Bajing Palace to us?"
One of the Yuan Dan cultivators seemed somewhat incredulous at the sound of the voice and asked in a trembling voice.
What the eight kinds of inheritance contained in this celestial palace are is not important; what is important is that it was given by a celestial being, a celestial being who can represent the Supreme Dao.
What does this represent? Does it symbolize some kind of inclination of that celestial being?
The Supreme Dao is recognized by the human race as the leader of the Daoist sects, but the impression it gives is that of someone who is devoted to the Dao, pure of heart and free from worldly desires, and indifferent to worldly strife. The Supreme Dao only appeared in the world during the ancient period, when the human race rose to power and was suppressed by all the races of heaven and earth, and even ancient gods and demons appeared.
At that time, there was a mysterious Taoist priest of the Supreme Dao, with his sect's treasured immortal artifact, the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda, on his head, holding the Taiyi whisk, and standing on a primordial green lotus. He captured all the dozen or so ancient gods and demons that had jumped out and brought them back.
And then that was it. Those ancient gods and demons vanished without a trace, and the mysterious Taoist was never seen again. There are many different opinions about his identity.
However, the one who received the most recognition was that Taoist priest, who was very likely the founder of the Supreme Tao, and in legend, he had already transcended and gone to the Outer Heavens.
Speculation remains just speculation; it has never been confirmed. It was after that battle that the position of the Supreme Daoist leader was solidified, and to this day, no one has been able to challenge it.
However, what is most frustrating for some members of the human race is that the Supreme Dao, which is suspected to possess the highest combat power among humans, is too lazy. After confirming that there is no crisis of extinction and that the status of humans has been consolidated, the cultivators of the Supreme Dao have basically become indifferent to worldly affairs.
In short, don't disturb my cultivation!
Of course, in recent years, the Supreme Dao has changed. For example, Zhao Junxian, the Daoist disciple of the Supreme Dao, has become the son of a celestial immortal, but he is still unwilling to be lonely and wants to cultivate both immortality and martial arts. In his childhood, under the introduction of his father, he became a disciple of the human martial ancestor.
Then, he became increasingly restless, traveling among the nine provinces of the human race. His behavior was completely different from the quiet and inactive style of the Supreme Dao, which was detached from worldly affairs. Instead, he was more like a chivalrous knight-errant, with a warm heart.
A few years ago, I heard that a creature that had escaped from a forbidden place in the world had wreaked havoc on a city of humans. This esteemed son of a celestial being went to find it. Although he paid a price not long afterward, I heard that he had achieved remarkable results.
These deeds have already demonstrated what kind of person this Daoist is, and now this Daoist has appeared in Qianlong Abyss, presenting the Eight Views Palace, which contains part of the Taishang Dao's inheritance. The meaning behind this is very exciting.
Could it be that the Supreme Dao is planning to emerge again? And that they agree with the ideology of these iron-blooded factions and are preparing to join them, even if not all of them, but only a part of them? Then the vision of humanity sweeping across the world and enslaving all races would have a great chance of being realized.
"nature."
Zhao Junxian nodded. Looking at the excited expressions on some people's faces, he could roughly guess what they were thinking, so he added,
"Do not make too many connections. This item is only for my disciple to settle his karma. Since he has obtained your inheritance in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, then my Supreme Dao will also leave behind an inheritance for your disciples to study. However, whether they can gain anything depends entirely on their own fate."
Zhao Junxian's words only made the group more excited, and their gazes towards him became more affectionate, as if they were looking at a fellow practitioner.
So what if Feng Bingwen's talent surpasses that of Daozi? So what if he is unparalleled throughout history? No matter how monstrous he is, he is still just one person. Even if he comprehends everything, he is still just one person.
But the Supreme Dao sent a place of inheritance, which was directly used by their disciples to study and comprehend. This was only for resolving karmic issues, not for making arrangements for certain things.
Considering this Daozi's past achievements and daily conduct, some people are even more eager to see him. He is a like-minded person who is very likely to agree with their ideals and can befriend them.
"Ahem, I have the audacity to ask Daoist, what kinds of traditions are there in the Eight Views Palace?"
"The Record of Supreme Forgetfulness, The Song of the Crimson Palace of the Divine Firmament... Oh, my father also left behind a supernatural power, One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones, but it requires extremely high aptitude from the person who comprehends it. Even if one cultivates to the first rank of extraordinary phenomena, one cannot feel anything."
