Yongle World, Dragon Gate Temple.
A beautiful young lady with a determined expression mustered her courage and knocked on the door of the Daoist temple. A moment later, a boy with a ponytail opened the wooden door. "Miss, may I know why you've come to my Dragon Gate Temple?"
Through the wooden door, the girl saw that the inside of the Taoist temple was an ordinary house. Although it was continuous and hard to tell how many floors there were, it did not look like the residence of a Three Tribulation Almighty. Moreover, the Dragon Gate Temple was not located on a famous mountain, nor was it in the sky or underground. It was on an ordinary mountain in the secular world, which made her very confused.
But no matter what, when she came here, she still said softly, "Junior Yuan Jinning requests to see Chongyang Perfected Lord. More than ten generations ago, an ancestor of my family was acquainted with Chongyang Perfected Lord, and he gave me a keepsake. He said that he could ask for a favor from Dragon Gate Temple with this. "
As Yuan Jinning spoke, she anxiously handed the keepsake that looked like a piece of jade paper to the Taoist boy. Her mind was filled with thoughts. Sometimes, she thought that she must not go to the wrong place, and sometimes, she thought that Chongyang Perfected Lord was a Three Tribulation Almighty who surpassed all the Essence Soul Venerables in the cultivation world by many times. He was a Heaven Immortal who had been famous for tens of thousands of years. Would it be counterproductive for an ordinary Qi Drawing Realm cultivator like her, who could not even meet Essence Soul Venerables, to ask for a favor from him?
The Taoist boy took the jade paper, looked at it, and nodded, "It is indeed the keepsake of the Temple Master. Miss Yuan, what do you want?"
Yuan Jinning secretly heaved a sigh of relief and smiled, "My father was cursed in a fight with someone. His body and spirit are festering, and medicine is ineffective. Please save him, Chongyang Perfected Lord."
The boy shook his head, "The Temple Master was invited by Heavenly Mystic Lord to attend the Penglai Dharma Assembly in the Shangqing Shenxiao World."
Yuan Jinning was startled. Where was the Shangqing Shenxiao World? Which deity was Heavenly Mystic Lord? How could she know about the Heaven Immortals roaming the four seas? She hurriedly asked, "When will Chongyang Perfected Lord return?"
"How can we be sure about the matters of Heaven Immortals like the Temple Master? Maybe they will talk about it, and it will take a year or two." Seeing the disappointed expression on Yuan Jinning's face, the boy could not help but smile. "It's just a curse, I, Purple Gold Boy, can also cure it."
He thought proudly, "Old Master ordered me to guard the gate of the monastery and not to go out if there's nothing important. But this Miss Yuan has his keepsake. How can I be fine if I go and cure the curse?" Yuan Jinning was overjoyed. "Master ordered me to guard the door of the temple and not to go out.
When Yuan Jinning heard this, he was overjoyed. The gatekeeper boy of a three-tribulation Almighty Being would definitely not lie. He hurriedly said gratefully, "Thank you for your help."
After she finished speaking, she saw that Child of Purple Gold was even more anxious than her as he closed the door of the monastery. She could not help but feel a little puzzled.
…
The Shangqing Shenxiao Shangqing.
The disciples of Penglai Sect watched as many streaks of brilliantly colored light streaked across the cloudless, clear, and clear sky outside the Heavenly Abode, approaching from afar like long rainbows. They could not help but click their tongues in wonder.
"This is the first time I've seen so many Immortals," a disciple said in awe as he looked at the many Immortals.
Another disciple sighed and said, "If nothing goes wrong, our sect will have such a grand event every six thousand years, but how many of us will be able to witness it again?"
"I'll just accumulate Karma points and ask for a divine decree written by Grandmaster Shi. I'll be able to rule the rivers and mountains and enjoy a lifespan of tens of thousands of years." An Inner Gate Qi Drawing Disciple who was no longer young seemed to have wanted to take this path. However, he sighed and said, "But I need a lot of Karma points. If I don't have a fortuitous encounter, it'll take me more than a thousand years to save up enough Karma points. And that's under the condition that I don't exchange them for elixirs or artifacts.
Regarding the divine decree, Penglai, Guang Han, and other big sects had strict rules. After the first one, there were less than a hundred divine decrees in the past few thousand years. Instead, most divine decrees were conferred by the Lingxiao Hall after accumulating Karma points.
On this day of celebration, these disappointing topics were drowned out in the blink of an eye. Everyone excitedly talked about the Three Cloud Palace and the Wandering Immortal Palace who had come from afar.
Mo Jingqiu, Sang Yu, Ren Yunzong, Shen Yimo, and the others had arrived a few days earlier. They had brought many Immortals and disciples with them, so that they could exchange pointers with Immortal Penglai and his disciples, broaden their horizons and broaden their horizons.
Shi Xuan naturally welcomed such a move. He specially asked all the Immortals who could find time to return to come back. There were not many opportunities to exchange pointers with cultivators of the same level from the super big sects.
Hua Qianluo stood on the Guest Island, recalling the battle with the Primordial Spirit Venerable of the Crimson Firmament Palace the day before. The Innate Fate Great Dao was truly the nemesis of all techniques. If not for the fact that her cultivation level was slightly higher than hers, she would have been defeated in an instant. Even so, she had to use that magic treasure and the power of Little Thousand in the end to win with great difficulty.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up. She saw a dark golden light appear in the distance. "Immortal Wei, you came just in time." Wei Boshu's conduct was similar to the sword cultivator's inheritance he had received. He was low-key, cautious, virtuous, and humble. He was very popular and had a good reputation. That was why Penglai and the Guang Han Sect allowed him to take charge of Tianji City.
Wei Boshu flew in the Gang Qi layer. He saw the white Gang Qi parting along with the sword light. The blue sea beneath his feet was vast and the islands were like sesame seeds. He felt extremely carefree. When he first stepped onto the path of Dao, it was to pursue this feeling of freedom and freedom.
Not long after, a faint grotto-heaven world covered by white clouds appeared in front of him. Wei Boshu hurriedly stopped the light and flew towards Penglai's guest island.
Halfway there, he saw more than a dozen light flying over from other directions. They were all famous Essence Soul Immortals from Yu Yutian. He could not help but sigh. "It really feels like ten thousand immortals have come to pay their respects."
"Fellow Daoist Gui Yi, you've been invited by Penglai too." Wei Boshu saw a close friend and greeted him from afar. Perfected Gui Yi was a Second Tribulation Yang God Immortal. He was currently educating people and collecting the Qi of Morality to condense a secret treasure to pass the tribulation.
Perfected Gui Yi was riding a donkey. He seemed to be walking slowly. He smiled and said, "How have you been, Perfected Wei?"
As they chatted, they arrived at the guest island. Seeing that it was Hua Qianluo, the Essence Soul Immortal, who welcomed them, they both said humbly, "Penglai is too polite." This kind of thing was usually handled by the upper-grade Jindan Grandmaster.
Hua Qianluo smiled and said, "There's no distinction in welcoming guests. Coincidentally, I'm free so I came to help. And I have to thank Perfected Wei for helping me the last time. "
"It's nothing, it's not worth mentioning." Wei Boshu waved his hand nonchalantly. Then, under Hua Qianluo's lead, they passed through the Shangqing Shenxiao World that was filled with Immortal Qi and lightning. They arrived at a mountain peak that was not tall but wide. There were hot springs flowing and divine flowers blooming. There were already twenty to thirty Perfected Ones sitting there.
When Wei Boshu and Perfected Gui Yi arrived at the mountain peak, they greeted each other.
"Perfected Su, I haven't congratulated you for passing the second Heavenly Tribulation." Wei Boshu looked at a young girl with bright eyes and white teeth. "Oh right, where's your master, Perfected Monarch Meng? I've always wanted to thank her in person for what happened back then. Unfortunately, Perfected Monarch Meng rejected me many times. "
Su Yingzi smiled sweetly and said, "My master said that she was only doing what she should do back then. It wasn't to help you take revenge. She's currently in Perfected Monarch Shi's cave abode. "
…
Inside Shi Xuan's cave abode, Meng Nishang was still dressed in white. She was cold and aloof, unable to hide her beauty.
She never liked small talk. Moreover, she had been familiar with Shi Xuan for a long time. There was no need to beat around the bush and get to the point. Thus, she said straightforwardly, "Recently, I found traces of Shenhuang's subordinates in Yu Yutian."
Because of the incident with the Blood Shadow Lord, Meng Nishang knew about the grudge between Shenhuang and Penglai. She also knew that Lady Yu had asked a good friend to take care of Yu Yutian for ten thousand years. Thus, even if her expression was calm and her tone was indifferent, Shi Xuan could still hear the faint concern and doubt in her voice.
"There's something fishy about this." Shi Xuan frowned slightly. Logically speaking, a half-step Golden Immortal's watch would only miss a few Perfected Immortals and Perfected Beings who had received benefits from Shenhuang. However, Meng Nishang had seen Peng Ziqian at the Grand Void Assembly. Since she said so, it must be a direct subordinate of Shenhuang.
Meng Nishang had also returned from her travels not long ago. She thought about what she had heard and seen all these years and said calmly, "Could it be that something happened to Senior Divine Firmament's good friend? Although a half-step Golden Immortal is invulnerable and invincible, he can still be killed."
"Yes, I'll ask Daoist Jian and Daoist Kong about this later." Shi Xuan recalled that he had yet to set up a trap to kill Shenhuang. He could not help but sigh inwardly. Changes always happen faster than plans.
After that, the two of them talked about their experiences over the years and exchanged views.
The Universe Cauldron was of great importance. Naturally, Shi Xuan did not mention it. However, he changed the location and name of his encounter in the Grand Void Land so that Meng Nishang would not be clueless when she encountered similar situations in the future.
After listening to him, Meng Nishang pursed her lips slightly. "The things I encountered, the things I saw, and the thoughts I had in my mind were actually 'fake'. I still have to see the truth and understand the illusion. It was really beneficial."
After a pause, she suddenly said slowly, "Shi Xuan, you should actually establish the Netherworld Kingdom in Yu Yutian."
Meng Nishang's simple words made Shi Xuan understand what she meant. She said that he could sense the Yellow Spring. If he established the Netherworld Kingdom in Yu Yutian and connected it to the first layer of the Nine Underworlds, he could escape to the Nine Underworlds through the Yellow Spring if there was any danger. After all, the Spatial Waymark Gate strengthened by Lady Yu could only be activated in a calm state of mind. Moreover, the Taiji Diagram, a treasure of Yin and Yang virtue, had already gone through three tribulations and could completely restrain the water of the Yellow Spring.
Shi Xuan smiled and nodded. Just as he was about to speak, Green Wolf walked in. "Master, True Monarch Calamity Lian Yu said that he has something important to discuss with you."
Lian Yu did not go directly to the place of the Dharma Assembly. Instead, he went to his cave residence first. It seemed that he really had something important to discuss. Shi Xuan stood up and personally went out to welcome him.
Lian Yu, who had a high nose and thin lips, did not greet Shi Xuan. Instead, he said directly like Meng Nishang, "Fellow Taoist Shi, when I came here, my Ancestral Master mentioned something. Red Emperor, the lifelong enemy of Goddess Mystic Fairy, has made great progress in his cultivation and has returned from the chaotic Untainted Land."
Mystic Fairy, the leader of the Celestial Beings and a half-step Golden Fairy, was Lady Yu's good friend.
