Primordial Dao Domain
Tianxuan Sacred Continent
Today, the Xuantian Dao Sect is quite lively. The guards at the once deserted mountain gate have been replaced, and people come to visit from time to time.
Two teams of inner sect law enforcement officers, their faces cold and clad in armor, stood on either side of the mountain gate. Their cultivation had all reached the Divine Realm, the God King level!
Aside from these inner sect law enforcement officers at the God-King level, two exceptionally beautiful women stood within the mountain gate of the Xuantian Dao Sect.
A figure, exuding heroic spirit and with a serious expression, stood majestically at the mountain gate, radiating an aura of uprightness and unyielding integrity, yet also possessing an incomparably sharp and terrifying sword intent that made people hesitate to approach.
The other one was naturally alluring, with a slight smile and dignified demeanor. Although she was charming, she was not licentious. She seemed polite but kept people at a distance.
These two were naturally elders of the Nine Profound Peaks of the Xuantian Dao Sect, Ning Yue and You Ji.
The fact that these two were waiting at the mountain gate was naturally because something big was happening at the Xuantian Dao Sect today.
The important event, of course, was Zhou Xingdou's coronation ceremony as the Daoist disciple.
Originally, it wouldn't have required both of the two elders of Jiuxuan Peak to be mobilized, but some of the elders of Jiutian Peak were away and couldn't return, and of the remaining five, four were seriously injured for unknown reasons and are still in critical condition.
This has resulted in Fang Daokun, the current head of Jiutian Peak, being unable to leave his post to look after them, so Jiuxuan Peak has had to take on the task of welcoming those who came to offer their congratulations.
If it were just some major powers, there would be no need for two people. However, the Underworld Palace, another immortal power in the Primordial Dao Domain that had been secluded for hundreds of years, suddenly appeared and said that it wanted to pay its respects today.
As for the Underworld Palace, due to its long period of seclusion, many younger generations in the Primordial Dao Domain have forgotten that the Primordial Dao Domain still has this immortal force. Even Ning Yue knows very little about this immortal force.
For some reason, the sect records of the Xuantian Dao Sect do not mention this immortal force, which belongs to the same region, very little. There are no detailed records, and it seems that it was not active before the sect was closed off.
Although the name of the Underworld Palace doesn't sound quite righteous, it wasn't driven out of the Primordial Dao Domain by the Xuantian Dao Sect, which once dominated the Primordial Dao Domain, so it probably isn't some kind of evil or demonic sect.
As the overlord of the Primordial Dao Domain, the Xuan Tian Dao Sect's so-called welcoming was merely a formality. Other forces that came to observe the ceremony were too busy currying favor to cause any trouble.
Ning Yue wouldn't pay much attention to these unimportant forces; at most, she would bow to her elders and nod slightly to her peers.
The Primordial Dao Domain is indeed much weaker than the Primordial Dao Domain. There are not many major forces there, and it is impossible for them to bring too many people when they come to observe the ceremony. Usually, it is one or a few elders who bring a few juniors to broaden their horizons.
So Ning Yue and You Ji were actually quite relaxed, and there were still a few hours until the coronation of the Dao Child, so there weren't many people coming at the moment.
The moment of leisure made Ning Yue look at Jiu Xuan Peak with some worry, not only because of what was about to happen at the coronation of the Dao Child, but also because Zhou Xingdou had not yet emerged from seclusion.
As the time draws ever closer, and Zhou Xingdou has yet to emerge from seclusion, even Ning Yue is restless. Though she stands motionless at the mountain gate, she feels a growing anxiety.
Ning Yue suddenly looked at You Ji beside her, but for some reason, ever since You Ji broke through to the Saint level, this vixen who she used to find somewhat annoying had become extremely well-behaved and was no longer as hateful as before.
You Ji also noticed Ning Yueze's gaze, looked at Ning Yueze and smiled slowly, a hint of doubt in her eyes.
Ning Yue frowned, then spoke to You Ji:
“Youji, go back to Nine Profound Peak first and see if Daozi has come out of seclusion. If he hasn’t, have Hanyi knock on the gate as soon as possible. There are only a few hours left now, so have him prepare in advance.”
Ning Yue was uneasy until Zhou Xingdou emerged from seclusion. Just as Zhou Xingdou had thought, he had indeed become the backbone of their group. The fact that he was only a little late in emerging from seclusion made Ning Yue restless.
You Ji nodded in agreement after hearing Ning Yueze's words.
"Okay, I'll go now."
Ning Yue's presence is sufficient; You Ji is merely an added bonus, and her absence for a short period is of no consequence.
Moreover, Youji was eager to see her master, so how could she possibly refuse Ning Yueze?
After saying that, he transformed into a streak of light and left the mountain gate.
Not long after Youji left, the quiet space outside the Xuantian Dao Sect suddenly began to boil over.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
A series of buzzing sounds resounded throughout the heavens and earth, and a crack appeared in the void in front of the mountain gate.
Ning Yue was naturally startled by the buzzing sound. Her bright eyes suddenly narrowed as she looked at the crack that had opened up, and her hand, which had been hanging down naturally, was gently placed on the sword at her waist.
Because she sensed several extremely powerful auras within that crack, and these auras emanating from the void definitely did not belong to the Primordial Dao Domain.
"Amitabha!"
Suddenly, a grand and majestic Buddhist chant resounded, and countless golden lights instantly emerged around the suddenly opened void rift.
The golden light was not dazzling; on the contrary, it was very harmonious. Countless Buddhist scriptures appeared in the golden light, and golden lotuses also condensed in the golden light, slowly rising.
Ning Yue looked at the overwhelming scriptures and golden lotuses, and said with slight surprise:
"People from the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple in the Buddhist Realm?"
The Primordial Era has nine Great Dao Domains and numerous Realms. The environments of these Realms are naturally far inferior to those of the nine Great Dao Domains, but this does not mean that these Realms are weak.
For example, the Sword Domain has now become a pilgrimage site for all sword cultivators.
The Buddhist Realm is naturally a place of pilgrimage for Buddhist cultivators from all over the world, and it is also the origin of the primordial Buddhist cultivators, which is called the Great Western Heaven by Buddhist cultivators from all over the world.
Within the Buddhist realm lies the only Buddhist cultivation force among the Primordial Immortals, and one of the oldest forces in the Primordial Era, the Wanfo Temple, which can be called the supreme and immortal temple.
The two characters "万佛" (Ten Thousand Buddhas) on the giant lotus of Buddha light that slowly emerged from the void rift immediately confirmed Ning Yueze's conjecture.
The inner sect enforcers at the Divine King realm standing before the mountain gate all wore expressions of surprise. One of them, looking at the giant lotus bathed in Buddhist light, asked in bewilderment:
"Wanfo Temple? Our Xuantian Dao Sect doesn't seem to have any dealings with them. Why would they come here today?"
Those around him were also puzzled and guessed:
"They probably want to befriend our Xuantian Dao Sect, since Buddhist cultivators aren't very well-regarded."
As this inner sect law enforcement officer said, Buddhist practitioners are not well received in the early Yuan era, and Buddhist teachings are difficult to spread beyond the Buddhist realm. Moreover, their pronouncements on the equality of all beings are quite disdainful.
Ning Yue naturally overheard this discussion among the inner sect law enforcement officers and immediately rebuked them lightly:
"Silence! Do not be rude!"
However, Ning Yue was just as puzzled by the arrival of Wanfo Temple. Just as the inner sect law enforcement officers said, Xuantian Dao Sect had no dealings with the Buddhist Domain, let alone invite Wanfo Temple.
