After the conversation between Pang Yunxiang, Wu Weiyi, and Zhang Yan, they stayed in Qincang school for a few days. Let me tell you,
In the past few days, according to the previous agreement, the disciples of the three families had a sword duel. Because it wasn't a battle of life and death, it was only for the sake of improving the friendship between the three clans. Naturally, it ended peacefully. As long as it was someone who participated in the battle, almost everyone would gain some benefits.
Unknowingly, the day of Ancestral Master Jade Tomb's ascension was approaching.
Zhang Yan thought that it was time to make a move. After making the necessary arrangements in the hall, he boarded the Dragon Carriage and worked together with the people from Huanzhen Temple and Pingdu Sect. They swept up the vast clear light and headed towards Mount Li.
One day later, the mountains in the southwest of the Donghua Continent appeared before everyone's eyes.
The land that the Li Shan Sect occupied was the highest among the three sects in the southwest. Usually, because of the prohibition, it was covered by a thick fog and no one could see the whole picture. However, it was different these few days. Because all the Daoists from the Xuanmen sects had come to observe the ceremony, they had removed the formation and could see it at a glance.
Zhenren Pang had always been cautious in his cultivation. Although Huanzhen was considered close to Mount Li, he had never been to this place before. At this moment, he saw the smoke in the distance and the morning breeze brushed past. There were two patches of green mountain scenery on the river. It was like a young lady adding makeup to her eyebrows. In the thick brush strokes, it was even more beautiful. She could not help but praise, "When have I seen such a beautiful scenery?"
Wu Weiyi shook his head.
Zhang Yan couldn't help but laugh and said, "Could it be that Daoist Wu doesn't like this kind of scenery?"
Wu Weiyi sighed and said, "More than a thousand years ago, when I was still a child, I came here with my teacher. At that time, this place was still the mountain gate of Xihe Sect. The scenery I saw wasn't what it is today, but a vast expanse of mountains and rivers."
The place where Lishan Sect was at was originally the dojo of Xihe Sect, the inner temple of the sect. It had always been strict and disciplined, displaying its firmness to others. Moreover, there was a surging river outside, and the mountains were all small, making it appear even more imposing and upright.
However, after Perfected Yuling entered this place. Because her family established their own school of orthodoxy, in order to show that they were different from the previous school, they wantonly overhauled. Other than the Dragon-Imprisoning Well, the rest of the temples were demolished and smashed. He even used his strength to divide the river and block the flow of the river, turning the surging West River outside the gate into thousands of streams, springs and waterfalls. He also filled the old site with peony, peony and other famous and precious flowers. As a result, the scenery on the surface of the mountain turned beautiful. Yesterday, his beard and eyebrows were all colored.
Immortal Wu also knew that Zhenren Yuling did this to prevent the world from regarding her as the successor of Xihe. She was ruthless to break the old tradition. However, a big Taoist orthodoxy was broken in front of her eyes, and now it was hard to find any trace of it. He also sighed with disappointment.
As the three of them moved forward, they were already close to the formation. The mist before him gradually faded away, revealing a floating mountain range that spanned over a thousand li. Drifting and indistinct, clear light flowing through the air. This was clearly an immortal mountain spiritual residence.
Immortal Wu pointed and said, "This is the original Yan Liang Mountain, which is also the original main gate of Xihe Sect. After Zhenren Yuling achieved Cave Heaven, she used her supernatural power to break the cliffs and the floating mountain in the sky. Broken peaks and broken cliffs, floating mountains in the sky, and dozens of floating mountain continents were built on both sides. These are where the disciples of Mount Li live today. "
At this moment, the Lishan Sect also noticed the arrival of the three Cave Heavens. Waves of celestial music were heard. The formation gate opened wide, stretching a thousand feet high and dozens of li wide. Thousands of flower boats came out from inside, with colorful rings and light flowers dancing in the air. In the middle was a raft, with a heroic woman in white standing on it. She bowed and said in a clear voice, "Shen Zixin of Lishan Sect welcomes the three Zhenrens."
After the greeting at the gate, Shen Zixin raised her hand and moved the raft away. The disciples of Lishan Sect all moved to the sides, creating a flat road paved with flowers and clouds. They said in unison, respectfully welcoming the three Zhenrens.
Zhenren Yuling was, after all, a senior of Xuanmen. To show their respect, Zhang Yan and the other two got off the carriage in front of the formation and walked into the mountain. Behind them, the disciples of the three sects also got off their flying magical artifacts and followed their masters.
After entering the mountain gate, the first thing they saw was a Greeting Hall. The front yard was wide and grand.
After that, there was the Kun He Hall and the Guanrong Hall. The three halls were beautifully renovated and shone brightly. On the corridors on both sides, there were female cultivators carrying bamboo baskets passing by. Outside, there was a mountain of begonia that was beautiful and delicate, emitting waves of fragrance.
After these three halls, there was a "Lotus Heart Path". Above the endless water abyss, lotus flowers could be seen floating over. Zhang Yan smiled and stepped on it. With every step, there would be a flower under his feet to welcome him. The three of them went straight to the right path at a moderate speed. In the water and clouds, their figures gradually disappeared. From afar, they were moving faster and faster.
As for the disciples behind him, because of their different cultivation, many of them went further and further away. Not long after, they were separated into the front and back.
Some of the impatient disciples saw that they couldn't keep up with their masters and wanted to use their techniques to escape. Just Now, when they tried to use their techniques, they saw a vast expanse of whiteness in front of them. They couldn't see anything clearly. After flying for a while, they landed again. When they saw that they were stepping on the original lotus flowers, they knew that there was a formation blocking them. They could only obediently walk forward.
However, as a result, everyone ended up in different places. However, no matter where they landed, there would naturally be a female ceremonial officer coming forward to lead them to the banquet.
Zhang Yan and the other two were Zhenren Yuling so they didn't care about it. In a short while, they arrived at the water platform on the opposite side.
Zhang Yan looked back and smiled, "The lotus flower cleanses the heart and reflects the Dao emotion. This path that Zhenren Yuling set up is the best way to test the Dao heart. Among the disciples, those who can reach here must have a determined heart and are wholeheartedly focused on the Dao."
Master Pang and Master Wu both agreed.
The three of them looked around and saw that they were standing on a large hill. There were many pavilions here, the sky was connected to the clouds, the stairs were connected to the corridors, the wind blew and water flowed. It was also filled with hundreds of flowers and ancient trees. On the peak of the mountain was a large lake. Looking down from the sky, the dew was like a plate, and the waves were dense. If one were to go on a boat on the water, they would be able to enjoy the sun and clouds in the morning and sleep on the moon in the evening.
Master Pang said, "I heard that Zhenren Yuling carved out a mountain in the mountains and made it into a garden. I think this is the place."
Master Wu shook his head and said, "In this Li Shan Sect, only Zhenren Yuling is supporting it. Yet she did this. This kind of sacrifice of cultivation in exchange for the beauty of the mountains and rivers is not something we can accept."
Master Pang had a different view and said, "Daoist Wu, you are wrong. Even so, Zhenren Yuling still cultivated to this stage and ascended. Among us, how many people can compare?"
Master Wu chuckled and didn't argue. He said, "You are right, Master Pang."
Although he said that, he didn't agree.
For Zhenren Yuling to be able to have this day, his talent was extraordinary and few people could compare to him. But in the end, he took advantage of West River Sect and was able to oversee the Spiritual Eye, which was why he had this day.
What he admired the most was still Guangyuan Sect's Shen Chong. He had no one to rely on and was able to forcefully open a path to ascension from his own sect.
But even so, after he left, Guangyuan Sect also fell. If Li Shan Sect didn't have a successor, then in his eyes, it was very likely that they would follow in his footsteps.
At this moment, in the lotus heart path, Wei Zihong was walking forward and returning. He was the only disciple under Zhang Yan.
His cultivation was the highest among the disciples of the three sects. Because he was walking at the front, a disciple behind him said, "This Daoist came here before, do you know about this path?"
Wei Zihong thought, "When I returned, the Li Shan disciples only opened a side door for me. It was just a cursory glance and the people I saw were not many, so how would I know about all these? But since Master didn't say. It shouldn't be a big deal, so I'll just go with the flow. "
But not long later. He saw that he was standing still and getting further and further away from the disciples, so he cupped his hands on the water and said to the few people he was familiar with, "Fellow Daoists, then I'll make a move first."
After saying that, he walked forward on the lotus.
But he didn't walk far. Suddenly, he felt something and turned his head to look. He saw a Pingdu disciple floating behind him, only a few hundred feet behind him. There were three lotus flowers under his feet. He seemed to be hesitating about where to go. His heart stirred, and he called out, "Fellow Daoist, can you come over here?"
Although the Daoist couldn't see where he was because of the mist in front of him, he didn't hesitate to walk in the direction of the voice. Very quickly, he came close and saw Wei Zihong. He bowed and said, "Thank you for pointing out the right path. I am Lan Yanchu, may I know your name?"
Wei Zihong raised his hands and bowed, saying his name too.
Lan Yanchu was enlightened, "So it's Yaoyin Wei Sect Leader, no wonder, no wonder."
The two of them exchanged some pleasantries and walked together. On the way, they met an Anatta Temple disciple called Kong Shutong. She was very beautiful and elegant. Like Wei Zihong, she was also in the third stage. Among the three of them, Lan Yanchu's cultivation was the lowest, but he didn't fall behind. Very quickly, he finished the lotus heart path and stepped on a row of jade steps.
He raised his head and saw three people standing in front of him. They were the three Enlightened Masters. He hurriedly went forward to greet his master.
Enlightened Master Wu saw Lan Yanchu among them and was surprised, "Yanchu, I didn't expect you to be able to reach here."
Lan Yanchu bowed and said, "This disciple is ashamed. It was Daoist Wei who called out to me on the way, that's why I got lost."
Zhang Yan smiled, "Daoist Wu, although your disciple's cultivation isn't enough, if he can pass the lotus heart path, then his future achievements won't be bad."
Wu Weiyi nodded subconsciously. Ping Du Sect was different from other sects. Their cultivation was all above the dharma spirit. Therefore, many disciples only focused on cultivating the dharma spirit and neglected the foundation. Lan Yanchu was a rare person who didn't forget this. He couldn't help but think that when he returned, he should give this disciple more guidance.
At the same time, he thought to himself, "Yu Ling Zhenren set up this path to test the disciples' Dao heart. It's quite a big favor for all the sects who came."
At this moment, there was a sudden jingle. A female cultivator walked over and stopped in front of the three of them. She curtsied and said, "My master specially ordered me to welcome the three Enlightened Masters. May the three Enlightened Masters please move your jade toes."
Enlightened Master Pang saw that she was also in the third stage and said, "Your cultivation isn't bad. Which disciple of Yu Ling Zhenren?"
The female cultivator bowed and replied, "Thank you for your question, Enlightened Master Pang. I am Ming Huaping, the eighth disciple of Mister Du Shan. I have reached this stage a few months ago, Just Now. "
After she finished speaking, she bowed again and led the way.
Several people followed her, crossing three bridges spanning the river. After another hundred or so steps, they arrived in front of a large hall. A horizontal inscribed board was hung above the hall, with three characters' Ding Hong Gong 'written on it. Ming Huaping halted her steps. Restraining herself, she said, "Three Zhenrens, En Shi is waiting respectfully in the Palace."
Zhang Yan nodded slightly and waved his sleeves. He calmly walked up the stairs. Pang and Wu Ze were a step behind.
Wei Zihong, Lan Yanchu, and the rest naturally couldn't follow, so they waited outside the hall.
The disciple of Anzhen Temple, Kong Shutong, looked boldly at Ming Huaping. The latter was slightly annoyed and said, "What are you doing?"
Kong Shutong asked, "I heard that a talented female disciple from Li Mountain Sect has already decided to marry a disciple of Yuxiao Zhou. Is she talking about you?"
Ming Huaping lowered her head and said softly, "This has nothing to do with you."
Kong Shutong smiled and took out something from his sleeves, "Just Now that you are leading the way, I am giving you something to express my gratitude."
Ming Huaping glanced at it and saw that it was a phoenix pen with a poem engraved on it, "Looking back at the moon by the window, lifting the curtain to recall the past, looking at the painting in the distance, a small boat leaving the red of the past". For some reason, her heart fluttered and she hesitated for a moment before accepting it. She said, "Thank you, Daoist."
Zhang Yan and the rest had already entered the Dinghong Palace. They looked up and saw that the hall was vast and boundless. Rainbow lights danced on top of the hall, but they were suppressed by a round jade. They flew back and forth in the hall and shone brightly. There was a jade path in the middle. Yuling Zhenren was wearing a white robe with a high bun. She was beautiful and she was sitting on the main seat. On top of her head, there were streams of light flowing and rippling as if they were in harmony with the rainbow lights. It was obvious that her real body was here.
Zhang Yan squinted his eyes while Pang and Wu Ze quickly lowered their heads and didn't dare to look.
Yuling Zhenren stood up and lifted her sleeves, "Zhenren Zhang, greetings." She then said to Pang and Wu Ze, "Zhenren, greetings."
The three of them also cupped their fists and returned the greeting.
Yuling Zhenren exchanged a few polite words with them and then said to Zhang Yan, "Recently, someone presented a stalk of spiritual flower to me, claiming that it can distinguish the true form of demons and demons. It's just that I can't tell if it's real or not. Zhenren Zhang is a disciple of Qincang School, I wonder if you would do me the honor to take a look?"
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "With such a magical item, I must take a look."
Pang and Wu Ze knew that she had something to say to Zhang Yan, so they excused themselves. Yuling Zhenren didn't urge them to stay. She called a female disciple and said, "Come, send these two fellow Daoists to Xuan Xuan and Drunken Immortal to settle down."
After the two of them left.
Yuling Zhenren invited Zhang Yan to take a seat and ordered a maid to serve fragrant tea. She then said, "In three days, I will ascend. After I leave, I hope that your honorable sect will take care of my sect's disciples for the sake of our past relationship."
Zhang Yan nodded and said, "As a disciple of Xuanmen, if your honorable sect is in trouble, I will definitely lend a helping hand."
Yuling Zhenren pondered for a moment and said, "That disciple of mine, Fang Roujia, fought together with your disciple, Wei Zihong, a few times. They hit it off quite well. After she returned to the sect, she couldn't forget her. As her master, seeing that I am about to leave, I also want to find a home for her. What does Zhenren think?"
Zhang Yan smiled faintly and said, "As long as the sect's disciples are agreeable, I will naturally not stop them."
Yuling Zhenren nodded and her eyes softened.
To her, as long as Zhang Yan did not stop them, this matter was already ninety percent successful. With the Qincang School's Hall Master Du Zhen behind them, Mount Li would be safe for hundreds of years in the future.
If within this period of time, one of the disciples was able to produce a Heavenly Abode person and inherit her treasure, the sect would have something to rely on. At least, they wouldn't be afraid of ordinary enemies. If not, then it would depend on the fate of the younger generation.
