Chapter 205: Defending the Right Path (Thanks to the book friend Ling乄Caged Bird for the reward)
After Meng Jingzhou was dragged away struggling, screams were soon heard.
Lu Yang and Man Gu were concentrating on choosing rewards.
"What do you want to buy, Man Gu?"
"Please buy a calligraphy book. My teacher said my handwriting is not good and I need to practice more."
Man Gu was attracted by a piece of calligraphy on the exchange list.
"Thunder Calligraphy Copybook, what a domineering name, I bought it."
Lu Yang wanted to persuade Man Gu to think about it more, but before he could finish his words, Man Gu had already bought it.
The cover of the Thunder Calligraphy Copybook is a huge lightning bolt, and the first page is the instructions for use.
"Let me see the rules... When you write on the copybook with a brush, once you go beyond the edge area, the copybook will burst into a thunderous burst. Please use it with caution."
“Note: Do not immerse this copybook in water, as there is a risk of electric leakage.”
Man Gu: “…”
Is it so dangerous to write a word now? Man Gu did not buy anything else. He wanted to use the remaining contribution points to go to the Refining Peak to strengthen his hammer.
Automatically reciting "The Words of the Sage" during battle still cannot fully demonstrate his identity as a Confucian cultivator. Man Gu wants to engrave "The Words of the Sage" on the iron hammer and add two corners to ensure that every blow of the hammer will make a hole during battle.
Perfect.
…
The Imperial Palace.
The Chief Eunuch had served Emperor Xia for more than forty years. He thought he was quite familiar with the ruler of the Great Xia Dynasty, but the following scene really shattered his perception.
Emperor Xia was sitting upright on the imperial chair. When he saw Yunzhi approaching slowly, he stood up and greeted her with a smile on his face.
"Daoist Yunzhi is here, please take a seat."
Emperor Xia actually took the initiative to move a chair for Yunzhi to sit on, and then sat down beside it himself without returning to the imperial chair.
"Someone, come and bring the fruits that have just been sent as tribute from the south over here for Fellow Daoist Yunzhi to taste."
Soon, a young eunuch came with a fruit plate, which contained a variety of fruits, some shaped like lychees, some shaped like bananas...
Yunzhi opened the lychee-shaped fruit and found that the flesh was golden and contained amazing natural treasures. Just eating this one fruit could allow a cultivator to leap from the late stage of Qi training to the middle stage of foundation building.
"It tastes good." Yunzhi tasted it politely and praised it, which made Emperor Xia very happy.
"Quickly bring a box to Daoist Fellow Yunzhi and let her take it away!"
Even though the chief eunuch had the ability to remain calm, his expression changed slightly when he saw this scene.
He had never seen His Majesty treat someone so attentively.
Yunzhi stopped Emperor Xia from doing this: "Your Majesty, there is no need to do this. Just tell me what you want."
Emperor Xia ordered his attendants to step down, including the chief eunuch.
Emperor Xia rubbed his hands, somewhat excitedly: "I heard that Daoist Fellow Yunzhi's cultivation seems to be much higher than that of our ancestor?"
Yunzhi shook her head slowly: "It's just a slight difference, Your Majesty, please don't exaggerate."
"It's like this. Recently, the old ancestor has always felt that he is the best in the world and no one can beat him. This mentality is not conducive to cultivation. I was thinking about whether I could find someone to beat him up. After thinking about it, I think Fellow Daoist Yunzhi is the most suitable."
Yunzhi: "...Does your Majesty have any grudge against your ancestors?"
In Yunzhi's impression, Emperor Xia's ancestor was not that kind of person.
"Haha, Fellow Daoist Yunzhi, you are really good at joking. My ancestors have been fighting with me since I was a child. How could there be any grudge between us?"
Yunzhi: “…”
"Alright, alright, that was just a little joke from me. Fellow Daoist Yunzhi, you don't have to take it seriously." Emperor Xia put away his smile.
Yunzhi wanted to say, Your Majesty, you didn't look like you were joking just now, but it would be better not to say anything that would damage the relationship.
Yunzhi still understood this simple social etiquette.
"Fellow Daoist Yunzhi has summoned the Great Xia Dynasty and the four great sects here. I guess you have made some important discoveries in the process of eradicating the Immortal Sect?"
"Yes." Yunzhi nodded and said nothing more.
Seeing Yunzhi stopped talking, Emperor Xia thought she was worried about something, so he said, "Daoist Yunzhi, are you worried about the information leaking here? There is no need to worry. This place is blessed by the immortal-level formation arranged by our ancestors. Even an immortal cannot eavesdrop in secret."
"Or does Fellow Daoist Yunzhi feel that the secrets of heaven cannot be revealed, cannot be expressed in words, and need to be hinted at through actions?"
Emperor Xia wondered what Yunzhi's behavior implied.
Was it a hint that the enemy was everywhere? Was it that silence was the best way to deal with the enemy? Or was it that the silent Taoist was the key to breaking the situation? Yun Zhi hesitated for a moment and said, "I just don't want to tell His Majesty and repeat it to the four great sect masters."
Emperor Xia: “…”
The leaders of the four great sects soon arrived at the palace, including Qiu Jinan, the leader of the Five Elements Sect who had just parted ways with them.
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
Qiu Jinan didn't expect that the Wendao Sect would act so quickly. In less than five days, they wiped out the Immortal Sect and even sealed off the breeding farm run by the sect leader.
"Fellow Daoist Yunzhi, nice to meet you again." Qiu Jinan bowed.
"Wendao Sect has done a great job. One of the four major demon sects has been eliminated. I wonder how the remaining three will react when they hear about this disappearance. I'm afraid they will be scared and run away!" The leader of Zhenyue Sect laughed heartily. There could be no more exciting news than this.
After he decided to return to the sect, the entire sect had a five-day holiday and had fun.
"Good." The abbot of the Hanging Temple held the Buddhist beads in his hands, speaking with great care and economy, but one could see joy from his expression.
Luo Hongxia, the Palace Master of Laurel Fairy Palace, did not dare to speak to Yunzhi, for fear that Yunzhi would remember the engagement and let Lu Yang and Lan Ting get married.
Through this action, the four major sects refreshed their understanding of the Wendao Sect.
The previous evaluation was that "the four major immortal sects defend the righteous path, while the Taoist sect shakes the righteous path."
Now the public opinion has changed to "The five major immortal sects defend the righteous path."
Yunzhi didn't know what they were thinking, so she stated her purpose directly.
"I called you all here this time to share some intelligence I got from the Immortal Church. Even the Immortal Church leader himself doesn't know this information."
"Let me state the conclusion first."
"The existence of the Four Great Demon Sects may have overturned our previous understanding. In the past, we simply thought that the existence of the Demon Sects was a religious group formed by demonic cultivators, and that they were not as threatening as the upcoming apocalypse."
"Now I correct my opinion. I believe that the mastermind behind the four great demon sects is the ancient immortals. The purpose of the existence of the four great demon sects is to condense the embryonic form of the Tao fruit. The ancient immortals will pick the embryonic form of the Tao fruit at the right time and turn it into their own power."
When these words were spoken, all five of them were shocked.
They have amazing backgrounds and know many secrets related to immortals, including things about Tao Fruit and its prototype.
Emperor Xia asked seriously, "Do you have any evidence?"
The existence of the four great demon sects is to condense the prototype of the Tao fruit, and the ancient immortals pick the Tao fruit.
This means that an immortal may possess two Tao fruits!
This is an extremely terrible thing!
"Of course there is. I have brought witnesses."
Yunzhi snapped his fingers, and an old immortal appeared from another space.
"This is the belief of the Immortal Religion, the Immortal Immortal."
"Hello, seniors. You can just call me Xiao Lian."
