Good and evil cannot coexist.
The righteous path protected order and obtained benefits from order. The demonic path destroyed order and obtained benefits from the destruction. This conflict of interest meant that the two sides could not get along well.
Of course, in terms of specific situations, they could not be generalized.
There were dozens of sects of various sizes in the Thousand Mountain Range, and most of them were of the Devil Path. After all, the Thousand Mountain Range was located in the southwest, and it was not a famous mountain range. To the vast Central Plains, this place could basically be called a barbaric land.
Among the Demonic Dao sects, the Nether Sect was undoubtedly the strongest. It could be said to be the leader of the Demonic Dao sects. However, the Mo path xiuzhe were chaotic and did not have much loyalty to their own sects. He would not listen to the Nether Sect's orders.
However, he was still in awe of the Nether Sect. All the Demonic Dao sects that received the invitation came to the Mysterious Heaven Peak.
The righteous sects also came. Led by the Heavenly Spirit Sword Sect, more than ten righteous sects gathered together. However, they remained outside the Dark Heaven Peak's Formation. They were not in a hurry to enter the Nether Sect.
The Nether Sect had been established for thousands of years. The Mysterious Heaven Peak was covered in layers of Dharma Arrays. Even if a Primordial Soul expert came, he would not dare to say that he could easily break through the Mysterious Heaven Peak.
The experts of the righteous sects naturally didn't dare to casually enter the Xuantian Peak. If the Nether Sect suddenly turned hostile and attacked, it would be too dangerous.
As the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand under a collapsing wall.
They had to attend the ceremony, but there was no need to put on a brave front and take risks.
At the center of this group of righteous path experts was naturally An Zhi, an old acquaintance of Gao Zhengyang. In fact, he had been responsible for all kinds of external affairs for the Heavenly Spirit Sword Sect.
This was also because An An knew that his talent was limited, and he did not have the chance to advance to the next level, which was why he was responsible for this. For example, Carefree Sword Feng Bu Yi was usually cultivating in seclusion. How could he have the time to deal with these trivial matters?
An Zhi looked at the Mysterious Heaven Peak below. It was covered in fog, so he couldn't see anything. He really wanted to go in and see what was going on, but as the leader of this expedition, he had to gather everyone first before making a decision based on the situation.
Fortunately, the sect had brought out a golden flying ship this time. The flying ship was several hundred feet long and more than seven feet tall. It was equipped with ten Devil-Crushing Golden Cannons.
A single cannon shot could blast dozens of miles away. Its power was immense. Even Nascent Souls would not feel good if they were to take a direct hit from it. The flying ship also had layers of protective arrays, making it extremely sturdy and reliable.
With the protection of the flying ship, they could advance and retreat with ease.
However, An Zhi was unwilling to stay on the flying ship. He wanted to get to the bottom of the Nether Sect. How could a mere Gao Zhengyang become the Sect Master of the Nether Sect?
This must be the Netherworld Sect's conspiracy to destroy their Heavenly Spirit Sword Sect's plan to unify the Thousand Mountains!
Originally, the sects of Thousand Mountains had already agreed to participate in the Thousand Mountain Workshop together. Gao Zhengyang's sudden appearance also interrupted the process of this matter.
As the leader, the Heavenly Spirit Sword Sect couldn't even handle a single Gao Zhengyang. This inevitably made others doubt the ability of the Heavenly Spirit Sword Sect. Moreover, by doing this, the Nether Sect must have expressed their opposition.
Although the many sects of the Demonic Dao did not belong to the Nether Church, they had no choice but to respect the Nether Church's attitude.
Just as he was about to succeed, an accident suddenly occurred. An Zhi hated Gao Zhengyang to the bone. Unfortunately, Gao Zhengyang was hiding in the Nether Sect's headquarters. No matter how angry he was, there was nothing he could do.
The sect also told him to be careful. The more An Zhi thought about it, the angrier he became. His expression was as dark as water.
The others were also tactful. No one went up to make trouble for themselves.
Suddenly, a black aura surged from the Mysterious Heaven Peak and shot into the sky. The surging black aura quickly turned into a giant that was more than 1,000 feet tall. It blocked the front of the golden flying ship.
The giant floated in the sky. Black aura surged around it. From its appearance and posture, it looked like a female cultivator. However, it was too huge and looked rather frightening.
An Zhi took a closer look and recognized the giant as Mystic Yin Perfected Lord. He sneered. "Mystic Yin Perfected Lord, what brings you here?"
Mystic Yin Perfected Lord smiled. "Fellow Daoists, since you're here to participate in the celebration, why are you stopping here?"
Mystic Yin Perfected Lord's Dharmic art was huge. When she spoke, her voice was like thunder, causing the clouds in the sky to shatter. It was extremely shocking.
Some of the Righteous Dao cultivators on the golden flying ship could not help but reveal expressions of fear. Most of them were Foundation Establishment cultivators. Facing a Nascent Soul Perfected Lord, they could not withstand the immense pressure.
An Zhi was not afraid, but he could not suppress Mystic Yin Perfected Lord. He could only look at Perfected Lord Qingyun beside him for help.
Perfected Lord Qingyun was from the Cloud Sky Pavilion. Their sect was small in number, but each of them had a profound cultivation base. There was even a Nascent Soul Overlord like Perfected Cultivator Qingyun. In terms of strength, it was only below the Heavenly Spirit Sword Sect.
The establishment of the Thousand Mountain Alliance this time was supported by the Cloud Sky Pavilion. Of course, the Heavenly Spirit Sword Sect also promised to give ten percent of the profits to the Heavenly Cloud Pavilion.
This was why the Cloud Sky Pavilion was paying so much attention to the Nether Sect's movements. Perfected Lord Qingyun came with An Zhi to see what was going on.
Perfected Lord Qingyun knew it was time for him to stand up for him. He waved his horsetail whisk and said loudly, "Fellow Xuan Ming, long time no see. Your cultivation base has become even more profound. Congratulations."
This was the Nether Sect's territory. Perfected Lord Qing Yun was not here to fight. The first thing he did was to exchange a few pleasantries and build a relationship. However, his voice was calm and even though it wasn't intimidating, it had the power to calm people down.
Without batting an eyelid, he had already neutralized Mystic Yin Perfected Lord's might.
Mystic Yin Perfected Lord turned to look at Perfected Lord Qingyun. "Fellow Daoist Qingyun, you're here too. Welcome, welcome. Don't worry, the sect master is only inviting everyone to watch the ceremony. He has no ill intentions. As long as you follow the rules, there won't be any danger. "
Perfected Lord Qingyun could not help but ask, "Isn't your sect master Xuan You? Why is it Gao Zhengyang?"
"Sect Master Gao is the reincarnation of the Divine Lord Nether. He's the Lord of the Nether. Naturally, we have to bow before him and listen to his teachings … "
Speaking of Gao Zhengyang, Mystic Yin Perfected Lord's attitude was stern. He even cupped his fists when he spoke to show his respect.
Finally, he reminded them, "You can't call the sect master's name directly. Everyone, please take note. It's fine if you don't know him the first time. If you're so rude again, don't blame me for being merciless. "
Perfected Lord Qingyun found it funny. Reincarnation of the Divine Lord Nether? Only ignorant people would say that. It was like saying that the emperor was bored and went out to be a beggar. That was impossible.
However, looking at Mystic Yin Perfected Lord's serious expression, it did not seem like he was joking. Perfected Lord Qingyun did not want to have a conflict with him, so he nodded and said, "Thank you for telling me, fellow Daoist. I'll be careful."
Anzhi was so angry that his face turned green. In just half a year, Gao Zhengyang had turned from a traitor of the righteous path to the reincarnation of the Divine Lord Nether. No matter how ridiculous the statement was, it was fine as long as the Nether Sect admitted it.
The other righteous path cultivators were also surprised. Initially, everyone thought that the Nether Sect deliberately brought out Gao Zhengyang to go against the Heavenly Spirit Sword Sect. As for the position of sect master, it was naturally used to deceive people.
However, looking at Mystic Yin Perfected Lord's serious attitude, Gao Zhengyang seemed to have some status and was not just a puppet.
This aroused everyone's curiosity. Was it Gao Zhengyang who had the ability, or was the Nether Sect playing tricks? Nobody could say for sure now.
Mystic Yin Perfected Lord said to everyone, "If you want to participate in the ceremony, please enter from the main entrance of the Mysterious Heaven Peak. You can't enter this flying ship. If you don't want to participate in the ceremony, please leave immediately. "
The cultivators of the righteous path looked at An Zhi and Perfected Lord Qingyun. Now, they could only wait for the two of them to make the decision.
Although An Zhi was the leader in name, he had to respect Perfected Lord Qingyun's opinion. He said to Perfected Lord Qingyun, "What do you think, Perfected Lord?"
Perfected Lord Qingyun pondered for a moment and said, "This matter is strange. It's better to go in and see what's going on."
The Nether Sect's headquarters was indeed dangerous, but there was a large group of righteous path cultivators here, representing the various righteous path sects. As long as the Nether Sect was not crazy, they would not attack them.
An Zhi hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement. "Perfected Lord, you're right. I don't know what they're up to, but let's go in and take a look. Otherwise, they'll think that we're afraid. "
The cultivators of the righteous path echoed. "Yes, let's go in and take a look …"
"Who's afraid of them?"
"The Nether Sect is a dragon's lair and a tiger's den. They can't stop us …"
The crowd spoke one after another, and it was very lively.
An Zhi also knew that this group of people was just talking. If they really wanted to fight, they would run away faster than the other. However, with a group of people gathered together, they looked imposing.
He extended his hand to Perfected Lord Qingyun and said, "Perfected Lord, let's go then …"
Perfected Lord Qingyun did not stand on ceremony. He nodded and waved his horsetail whisk. A huge cloud of green Qi appeared out of thin air and gathered into a thick green cloud.
"Everyone, this way." Perfected Lord Qingyun was the first to land on the green cloud. He beckoned the others to come up.
The Cloud Sky Pavilion was skilled in controlling clouds, rain, wind, and thunder. Perfected Lord Qingyun was an expert in controlling clouds and rain. Condensing cloud Qi as a means of transportation was the simplest Dharma skill.
After everyone boarded the flying cloud, Perfected Lord Qingyun controlled the cloud Qi and descended. The cloud Qi flew at an extremely fast speed. It was also protected by a Dharma spell that could block the wind outside. It was extremely stable and comfortable.
The doors of the Nether Sect's headquarters were wide open. Delicate young men and women stood on both sides to welcome the guests.
When he saw Perfected Lord Qingyun and the others descending, Chief Xu of the Nether Sect hastily ran out to welcome them. He was in charge of all the miscellaneous tasks in the headquarters. His position was not high, but his authority was great.
Chief Xu was also a Gold Core Realm cultivator. He was slightly plump. When he smiled, he looked amiable. He was not as gloomy as the Nether Sect's disciples. He also knew An Zhi, Perfected Lord Qingyun, and the others. After he greeted them politely, he led them into the headquarters.
The ceremony was held in the Nether Sect's main hall. The main hall was extremely grand. Its dome was dozens of feet high. There was a nine-stage platform in the north, with a black throne on it.
Behind the throne was a huge black deity statue with a vague face. It was the Divine Venerable Netherworld's Dharma Idol. There were eight ten-feet-tall statues made of black jade on both sides of the throne. They were the eight Spiritual Venerables under the Divine Venerable Netherworld.
There were more than 1,000 Nether Sect's disciples in black robes and black lotus crowns. They were arranged neatly in nine square formations. All of them looked solemn and quiet.
The Righteous Path's cultivators were talking and laughing. But after they entered the main hall, they were affected by the solemn atmosphere. They did not dare to laugh anymore.
An Zhi glanced at Chief Xu and asked him with his Divine Consciousness, "Why isn't your Sect Master here?"
Chief Xu looked at An Zhi meaningfully and replied with his Divine Consciousness, "Sect Master will come out soon. Fellow Daoist An, you don't have to worry."
He paused for a moment before he reminded An Zhi, "I know Fellow Daoist An has a personal grudge against Sect Master. But that's in the past. Our Sect Master is magnanimous, and he won't argue with you. Don't worry, Fellow Daoist An. But, if Fellow Daoist An wants to be impudent, it'll be hard to say. "
An Zhi snorted coldly. He did not care about Chief Xu's warning. However, he did not come here to quarrel. He did not need to quarrel with Chief Xu.
Chief Xu led the group of people to a corner on the right side of the main hall. He said to An Zhi and Perfected Lord Qingyun, "Please stay here and watch the ceremony. Don't shout or move while you're watching the ceremony."
After Chief Xu finished speaking, he left the group of people behind and left by himself.
Although there were dozens of Righteous Path's cultivators, they were too few compared to the Nether Sect's more than 1,000 disciples. Initially, the group of people wanted to watch the show. However, they were suppressed by the Nether Sect's solemn atmosphere. Nobody could laugh anymore.
An Zhi did not dare to speak as well. He could only speak to Perfected Lord Qingyun with his Divine Consciousness, "I've seen Gao Zhengyang before. Although he's talented, he's only at the Foundation Establishment realm. I haven't seen him for half a year. The Nether Sect must be crazy to use him to make a fuss! "
Perfected Lord Qingyun nodded. A cultivator's cultivation had to be done step by step. No matter how talented Gao Zhengyang was, he only had potential. The Nether Sect supported Gao Zhengyang as the Sect Master. What exactly were they planning? This was truly unfathomable.
At this moment, melodious music rang in the main hall.
Dressed in white, Gao Zhengyang walked out from the side with a jade crown on his head. Perfected Lord Enigma, Perfected Lord Enigma, Perfected Lord Enigma, Perfected Lord Enigma, Perfected Lord Enigma, and Wei Lanjun surrounded Gao Zhengyang and sent him up the high platform respectfully.
Among the black Dharmic robes, Gao Zhengyang was exceptionally eye-catching in his snow-white robes. However, he had an aloof and calm demeanor, as though he was an immortal.
Even Perfected Lord Qingyun had to admit that Gao Zhengyang's appearance was peerless and superior to everyone present.
The other orthodox cultivators had never seen Gao Zhengyang before as well. At this moment, their eyes widened in shock. Initially, they thought that Gao Zhengyang was an evil fiend. Who knew that his stance surpassed that of an immortal and was more orthodox than all the cultivators of the orthodox sects?
An Zhi's eyes widened in shock as well. He was not shocked by Gao Zhengyang's extraordinary appearance. Instead, he could tell that Gao Zhengyang's essence qi was deep and his divine intent was deep.
Vaguely, the phenomenon of a Golden Core appeared.
He doubted his eyes and looked up and down. No matter how he looked at it, it looked like a Golden Core. Just as he was about to discuss with Perfected Lord Qingyun, he saw everyone from Nether Sect kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to Gao Zhengyang who was seated on the throne.
"Greetings, Sect Master. May you reign for ten thousand years and rule the world! "
Everyone from Nether Sect, including three Nascent Souls, knelt and shouted in unison. The commotion was earth-shattering and shot into the clouds.
The orthodox cultivators who were watching the ceremony felt like their souls were being torn apart by the sound wave. Their expressions changed starkly and they could not help but retreat. Those with weaker cultivation fell to the ground on the spot.
Even someone as powerful as Perfected Lord Qingyun was shocked and could not control himself.
As for An Zhi, he was the first to take the brunt of the impact and staggered more than ten steps back, almost falling to the ground. After barely standing, his face was as pale as a sheet and he was drenched in sweat. A Golden Core in his consciousness was about to explode.
