Chapter 109 The Strength of the Daoist Sect
"Although Su Lingyue has a fearsome reputation, she is still a fairly upright person. The only thing we need to be wary of now is if she reports this, the Twelve Heavenly Pillars of the Daoist Sect will definitely react. At that time, it will probably be a Void Refinement Elder or a Tribulation Transcending Great Power who comes out. They may not harm you immediately, but they might restrict your freedom!"
Xiao Yuxian spoke with utmost seriousness.
Chen Chunan's heart sank slightly. He was completely unable to contend with the Void Refinement or Tribulation Transcending stages.
Xiao Yuxian saw Chen Chunan's worry and said, "The great calamity is about to begin, and the calamity energy is gradually rising. At that time, the secrets of heaven will be obscured, and even if the founder of my Heavenly Mystery Pavilion descended to earth, he would not be able to predict anything about you. As long as you can withstand the Daoist sect first, the future will naturally be smooth sailing."
Chen Chunan listened to Xiao Yuxian's "nonsense" and remained speechless.
My current concern is for the Daoist sect.
"Fellow Daoist Xiao, could you reveal the strength of the Dao Yi Sect? I'd like to make some preparations."
"I don't know exactly how many people the Dao Yi Sect is hiding."
On the surface, there are twelve celestial pillars, and thirty-six deities who have attained divine transformation.
The peak masters of the thirty-six peaks are all at least at the late Nascent Soul stage. There are probably around a hundred Nascent Soul cultivators in total.
The blessed land of the Dao Yi Sect is called Dao Yi Realm, which is also the origin of their sect's name. It is said that there are at least three Transcending Tribulation experts there, but probably none at the Mahayana stage.
Before Xiao Yuxian could finish speaking, a collective gasp rippled through the room.
Han Yuqiu, in particular, was shocked upon hearing this, as she knew nothing about the sects in the Central Region.
Having obtained the Ancient Immortal Cave, she felt that if she were to reach the Nascent Soul stage, she might not be inferior to any sect in the Central Region.
Now it seems that in the eyes of the Dao Yi Sect, their Taiyin Sect, no, the entire Jiangzhou, is nothing more than a bunch of ants.
The great demon Niu Muzhi of Moyun Ridge was also greatly shocked. He thought that his Moyun Ridge was a major force, but now it seemed that it was barely enough to compete with one of the pillars of the Daoist sect.
Chen Chunan, who was facing pressure from the Dao Yi Sect at this moment, felt that he was in big trouble.
"I can first cultivate the Five Virtues. If the Five Virtues are fully developed in the future, whether you are a Nascent Soul cultivator or a Void Refiner, you may not be a match for me! Besides, I am here! Give me half a year, and I can help you enter the Realm of True Emptiness and Wondrous Existence once again! At that time, unless a true immortal descends to earth, even a cultivator who is only one step away from ascending in the Mahayana stage will not be able to withstand a single blow from you!"
The voice of the Monkey King echoed in his mind, and after hearing it, Chen Chunan felt reassured.
If you can get through six months, you'll get another "vacuum wonder" experience card.
When the time comes, if any of them dare to provoke us, we'll make an example of them and thoroughly deter those old fogies with ulterior motives.
……
The group poured tea and drank together. Xiao Yuxian and Niu Muzhi realized that Chen Chunan had probably never left the Eastern Wilderness, so they told him what they knew.
Chen Chunan, Han Yuqiu, and Chi Mianxi all gained a lot of knowledge.
After the tea party ended, Xin Yuan asked for the Golden Cudgel and then disappeared.
Niu Muzhi also took his leave and prepared to return to Moyunling.
Looking at the heifer with some reluctance, Chen Chunan said, "It's not very respectable for you to work as my porter. If you don't like it, you can go back. I don't like to force others to do things."
The heifer was startled upon hearing this and hurriedly knelt down: "I dare not, Lord Daojun, you are wise."
Although she only had a Golden Core, she understood after listening for so long.
Following Chen Chunan is risky, but the rewards are huge.
This is my own "destiny," and if I can't even grasp it, I might as well buy a block of tofu and smash my head against it.
As Qing Si spoke, it revealed its original form again, with a brocade quilt on its back serving as a cushion.
"Don't be so formal. You should still take human form most of the time."
After saying that, Chen Chunan patted her unicorn horn to comfort her.
Chi Mianxi looked at Qing Si and felt an inexplicable unease, as if she had lost something important.
But she didn't understand what it was for a moment.
"I was only keeping an eye on the movements of that old ox at Moyun Ridge, but I never expected to learn such a shocking secret! The founder of the new path? No wonder he has such strength."
Using the jade sword magic weapon, Su Lingyue escaped thousands of miles away. She lay on a cloud, staring blankly at the sky.
She is the current Daoist disciple of the Daoist sect, but she is not the Daoist disciple recognized by the Daoist sect.
This "generally recognized" refers to the older generation, those who have kept their past hidden.
The Tao is one, the Great Tao is unique.
Having cultivated for over eight hundred years, Su Lingyue has spent her entire life in battle, slaying demons and monsters, and purifying evil paths. She has witnessed far too many paths and methods.
She did not believe that her Dao was the only true and righteous law, even though the creator of the law was the Fifth Patriarch.
This is also why she was not recognized as a Daozi by the older generation.
The true Daoist master recognized by the older generation was Yun Yaozi, who had already attained the state of divine transformation.
Although she has the title of Daoist, she cannot make decisions regarding matters within the sect.
She had thought carefully about Chen Chunan's matter. If it were really reported, how things would develop would be out of her control.
Her goal is to resolve the conflict; if the conflict escalates after being reported, it would not align with her original intention.
"Internal acquisition? External lending? The sages of our sect once said that there is a great elixir within the human body, which can grant immortality, but they never managed to comprehend it in their entire lives. Under the vast eons, all are but ants, and this person may be that sliver of hope. Even if we cannot befriend him, we must absolutely not become enemies."
After figuring it out, Su Lingyue felt relieved and decided to stay in Jiangzhou for a while, hoping to make friends with that person.
……
Falling Dragon Ridge
Shoujing was completely numb, having been left behind by his own Daozi and lost the Dragon-Binding Rope.
When he arrived, his master bestowed upon him three treasures: the Heaven-Opening Pearl for offense, the Jade Ruyi for defense, and the Dragon-Binding Rope for trapping.
These three magical treasures are all precious possessions of our master, and they must never be lost.
If the Dragon-Binding Rope is lost, he can only hope that Daozi can help bring it back.
Just as he was pacing anxiously, his own Daoist disciple did not return, but the great demon who had followed the Daoist disciple returned.
But it seems like someone is missing?
Just as Shoujing was about to ask about the whereabouts of his own Daozi, the monkey who had left with the Dragon-Binding Rope returned.
They returned unharmed, which made Shoujing and his disciples very uneasy.
A disciple asked in a trembling voice, "Senior brother, what should we do? Should we retreat first?"
Shoujing wanted to retreat, but if he didn't retrieve the Dragon Binding Rope, he would likely face dire consequences upon his return.
But if we don't withdraw...
Eh?
Seeing the one-horned green rhinoceros suddenly leave with a group of bull demons, Shoujing's heart, which had been in his throat, instantly settled back into his stomach.
"The Nascent Soul demon is gone! What's the point of retreating now? Prepare to set up the formation! Even if we can't defeat the demon monkey today, we must retrieve the Dragon-Binding Rope! You know my master's temper; if we lose the Dragon-Binding Rope, we'll both be sent to the Cold Hell for punishment!"
As soon as the name "Cold Prison" was uttered, the remaining disciples all shuddered, as if they had heard something terrifying.
My fear vanished completely.
"I will obey your orders, Senior Brother!"
Just as the thirty-six people were about to set up their formation, a mocking voice came over.
"I almost forgot about you! You're my lucky charms, I can't let you run away!"
