Chapter 130 Chapter 130 Guiding and Guiding Zhunti...
Jieyin and Zhunti felt that comparing themselves to others was infuriating, but after exchanging a glance, Zhunti chuckled and began recruiting people right in front of Taiqing:
“Fellow Daoist Cang Li, you see, our Western Sect is in dire need of a leader. We’ll give you the biggest and best palace. Why don’t you come and join our Western Sect?”
Before Taiqing could speak, Tongtian brandished his fist:
"You think I'm dead just because I poached someone in front of my own brother?"
Zhunti: "...Junior Brother Tongtian, I was just saying. Don't start fighting all the time. It's not good."
If only he could win...
Zhunti sighed inwardly. He felt that as long as Cang Li went to his Western Sect, his Western Sect would definitely rise to become the number one sect, no worse than the Jie Sect, which was currently receiving homage from all the immortals!
Jieyin patted Zhunti on the shoulder and said, "Junior brother, we are here to congratulate Fellow Daoist Cangli on his attainment of sainthood. Don't forget the important matter."
When Zhunti saw Cangli, he remembered that last time he had casually stolen some of Cangli's stored grain, only to have Taiqing come knocking and forcibly break off a branch of his Seven Treasures Tree. Zhunti's heart ached even more.
Cang Li rose from Nuwa's embrace and asked Jieyin and Zhunti:
"You two have something important to do?" What important business could these two possibly have? Aside from robbing passing cultivators, they haven't done anything else.
Zhunti, in a very serious tone:
"Of course we have important business to discuss. Our Western religion is not what it used to be; we now have many followers." Of course, these followers are all humans who migrated to the West, so they are still believers.
Without waiting for Cang Li to ask further questions, Zhunti said directly:
"It is so, some of our followers in the Western Sect are rather dull and unable to comprehend Mahayana Buddhism. I have heard that Fellow Daoist Cang Li possesses an innate magic treasure that can bring people to sudden enlightenment. Therefore, I request that Fellow Daoist go to the Western Sect to enlighten our followers."
Cang Li understood and told her to go and knock on the heads of the Western believers.
"This is no big deal, no problem at all."
Zhunti and Jieyin were overjoyed and were about to express their gratitude when Taiqing said:
"Not these days, Ali and I have something to do, we need to go see the teacher."
Zhunti Jieyin: "..."
Alright, going to Zixiao Palace is indeed a serious matter.
Cang Li looked at Tai Qing with a puzzled expression. Go to Zixiao Palace... Oh, she remembered. Last time she went there, Hongjun Daozu did tell Tai Qing to go to Zixiao Palace 1,500 years later, as if it was something important.
So Cang Li said to Duiyin and Zhunti, "That's right, I don't have time right now. Let's wait until we come back from Zixiao Palace."
Cang Li also wanted to see how powerful her beating was after she became a saint.
Zhunti and Jieyin laughed again after hearing Cangli's words: "Alright, it's a deal. Fellow Daoist Cangli, you can't go back on your word."
Cang Li: "Don't worry."
Yuanshi put down his teacup and asked Taiqing:
What are you going to the teacher for?
Taiqing shook his head: "I don't know. The teacher didn't say what it was about, but now that Ali has become a saint, it's indeed time to go to the teacher's place."
Yuanshi nodded in agreement: "That's true. When will you go? When will you return?"
Taiqing looked at Cangli, and Cangli understood:
"I'll go in the next couple of days."
Seeing this, Nuwa said to Cangli:
“Seeing you doing well puts your uncle and me at ease. We’re going back to Nuwa Palace now, baby. When you come back from your teacher’s place, come visit me at Nuwa Palace whenever you have time.”
Cang Li nodded: "Mom, don't worry, I will definitely go. Just don't find me a nuisance when the time comes."
Nuwa patted Cangli's head again, then bid farewell to Taiqing and left with Fuxi. There were still some things to take care of in the Nuwa Palace. Nuwa had actually come in her spare time. If it weren't for Cangli becoming a saint, she wouldn't have bothered to come at all.
Cang Li saw Nuwa off, and when he returned, he found that the brothers Jieyin and Zhunti had already left, leaving only the Three Pure Ones there. The atmosphere seemed rather tense.
"What's wrong? Did you two quarrel again?" Cang Li said the last part of his question while looking at Yuanshi and Tongtian.
Yuanshi looked away and said calmly, "We didn't argue."
Tongtian leaned back in his chair and denied it: "We didn't argue."
Cang Li: ...
Cang Li looked at Tai Qing with a questioning look in her eyes: What's wrong?
Taiqing shook his head slightly. He really didn't know, because he hadn't been out for a thousand years and hadn't calculated what had happened between his two younger brothers, so he really didn't know.
Cang Li coughed twice and said:
"We're all family here. The Taoist priest and I will be leaving now. We'll talk about it when we get back. You can stay here for a few more days."
Yuanshi nodded: "Don't worry about us, you can go on your own."
Cang Li then took Tai Qing's arm and left, thinking to herself that they couldn't very well start a fight in the Eight Views Palace.
Taiqing seemed to sense Cangli's thoughts and said to Cangli:
"Don't worry, they know what they're doing."
Cang Li thought about it and agreed, so she went to Zixiao Palace with Taiqing with peace of mind.
The Purple Cloud Palace stood as always in the chaotic land. When Taiqing and Cangli arrived, the gates of the Purple Cloud Palace opened, and two children came out to greet them.
“My two sages, your teacher is already waiting for you.”
Cang Li and Tai Qing whispered in each other's ears: "He already knew I had just become a saint?"
Taiqing nodded: "Of course, how could the Master not know, having attained perfect harmony with the Dao?"
The two walked into the small courtyard as they talked, and Cang Li was stunned as soon as he entered.
Who are you, the handsome guy with purple hair in there?
The last time he came, he was an old man. How come he's turned into a handsome young man this time?
Cang Li pinched Tai Qing and quietly asked, "Did the Dao Ancestor have a son?"
Taiqing: ?
Hongjun: "...No need to whisper, I heard you."
Cang Li shut up, feeling a little embarrassed. She was supposed to be communicating with Tai Qing via an encrypted internal communication channel.
Hongjun beckoned: "Come and sit down."
Taiqing and Cangli walked over and sat down. Taiqing said:
"teacher."
Cang Li blinked at Hong Jun. Actually, she realized that this was Hong Jun himself after he finished speaking. The main thing was that she didn't understand why he was different from the last time she saw him. Did the Dao Ancestor also love beauty?
Hongjun tapped the table: "Last time you thought I was an old man at the door, which suited you. You weren't satisfied?"
Cang Li immediately nodded: "Satisfied! Of course I'm satisfied!"
I almost forgot that this old man always plays tricks on people when he gives them gifts, and it seems to make sense that he gives them a different one each time.
Hongjun, too lazy to look at Cangli, spoke directly to Taiqing:
"There are two things this time, one of which is related to you."
Taiqing's expression turned serious: "Teacher, please continue."
Hongjun took out a scroll and placed it on the table: "This is the Investiture of the Gods."
Cang Li: ?
Cang Li suddenly stood up: "The Investiture of the Gods!?"
Hongjun ignored Cangli's actions and continued, "Take this list back and give it to Yuqing. Also, give him the God-Slaying Whip. After that, there's no need to say anything more. When the time comes, he will naturally know what to do."
Taiqing took the Investiture of the Gods, glanced at it, put it away, and nodded: "Okay."
Hongjun then gave the God-Slaying Whip to Taiqing and said:
"The second thing is my own business."
Taiqing paused. Hongjun's own affairs must be related to the Dao Integration with him. Judging from Hongjun's expression, it was probably not a good thing.
Cang Li was still reeling from the shock of seeing the Investiture of the Gods. How did it become the Investiture of the Gods? Then she heard Hongjun call to her:
“Cang Li, although this is my private matter, it is also related to you.”
Cang Li snapped out of her daze, pointed to herself, and asked, "Me?"
Taiqing frowned: "Teacher, why is this related to Ali as well? She has only been a saint for a short time."
Hongjun looked at Taiqing with a half-smile:
"Don't you know about the divinely ordained sainthood? Where did her purple aura come from? This matter is naturally related to her."
Taiqing's eyes showed some worry.
Hongjun pinched the bridge of his nose and said, "Don't worry, it's not a bad thing, at least not a bad thing for her."
Cang Li raised his hand: "I have a question."
Hongjun nodded, signaling Cangli to speak.
Cang Li: "I still don't know what it is after all this talk. Why don't you tell me?"
Hongjun waved his wide sleeves upwards, pointing to the enormous destiny plate that appeared, and said, "This is the Dao. After I became a saint, I merged with the Dao to complete the Heavenly Dao. Now it is still incomplete. If the Heavenly Dao is incomplete, the entire prehistoric world will collapse sooner or later. Originally, I should have completed the Heavenly Dao during the Lich War, but I don't know why it is still incomplete."
"Over the past thousand years, I have deduced the secrets of heaven and calculated the laws of nature, and finally concluded that some of the discrepancies are related to you."
Cang Li subconsciously looked at Hong Jun: "But I don't have anything on me?"
Hongjun: "You do have something to think about. Why is your cultivation faster and smoother than others, and why do you have no bottlenecks at all?"
Cang Li blurted out, "Because I am the first person created..."
No, she seems to have something that sets her apart from others.
Cang Li subconsciously activated the collector system, which was no longer of much use but hadn't yet disconnected. She had exchanged a lot of things from this shop, including her natal magic weapon. The system also indicated that it would disconnect after the items were exchanged, so Cang Li even asked Tai Qing to bite her storage bag and move all the things she had put in her backpack to the storage bag.
Surprisingly, a thousand years have passed, and this system is still not broken.
The instant Cang Li opened the system interface, the interface transformed into a stream of light and rushed directly into the Book of Teachings in Cang Li's spiritual palace.
Only Cang Li saw all of this; Hong Jun and Tai Qing only saw Cang Li stare blankly for a moment before revealing a puzzled expression.
Cang Li thought about it for a moment, so she opened it and took a look, and then the thing ran away, right?
"I did remember something, but I was unsure again just now, Dao Ancestor. I don't know what's going on now either."
Cang Li shrugged, indicating that he didn't know either.
Hongjun smiled and said, "It's alright."
Cang Li: ?
What is this person babbling about? Why can't they speak clearly? It's all so cryptic, who can understand them?
Hongjun then said, "Until you understand, stay in Zixiao Palace for now."
Before Cang Li could react, Tai Qing refused to comply:
"no."
Hongjun: "Why not?"
Taiqing remained expressionless: "We need to go back and get married."
Hongjun: ...
Cang Li: "That won't do. I want to go home with the Taoist priest."
We're family, after all. We can't just watch Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Kaizhuxian Sword Formation fight each other.
Hongjun's lips curled into a smile: "You're not allowed to leave."
Taiqing looked at Hongjun, clearly indicating that he would not agree.
Cang Li slammed his hand on the table: "What are you all looking at? I'm the one involved, Dao Ancestor, do you know this is illegal detention?"
Hongjun withdrew his gaze: "What illegal detention? This is the will of Heaven. You stay here, and I will give you a treasure later."
Cang Li shook his head and refused, saying he wouldn't stay.
