After Shen Baishuang came out of the hall, he went back to the cave abode to give some instructions. On the same day, he rode the pagoda out of the mountain gate and headed towards the place where the spiritual light bloomed in Zhongzhou.
After half a day, he arrived at the shore of Cheng River. He looked up and saw that there seemed to be a hole in the sky. The spiritual vigor surged into it, and the swirling air mass spread out for dozens of miles. There were flashes of lightning from time to time, and the sound was incessant.
He silently sensed that the person who opened up the small world had already thought of this. The inside was vast and deep, and it could accommodate all the clones of the Dongtian from various sects. It should not be a big problem, so he drove the pagoda and rushed in.
Although he was walking up, the moment he entered, he felt like he was sinking, and there was a feeling of heaven and earth turning upside down. After a while, the pagoda shook, as if a layer of air barrier was broken, and he was already inside the border.
Looking around, there were hundreds of floating peaks, and there was a spring waterfall washing down, like a crystal curtain hanging in the sky, straight into a bottomless abyss.
As he was looking, there was a rainbow in front of him, and it stopped a few miles away. A petite female cultivator came out, and she bowed and said, "Zhenren Shen from Qincang School has arrived. Greetings."
Shen Baishuang returned the greeting and said, "Zhenren Wu, greetings."
Zhenren Wu raised her wrist, pointed to a floating peak not far away, and said, "Zhenren Shen, the Yuan Yang Sect has built a few altars here, and that one is for your sect. This time, the treasure is born, and it cannot be decided by one sect. Why don't we wait for the other Daoist friends to arrive, and then we can make a decision. What do you think, Zhenren Shen?"
Shen Baishuang could tell that the Yuan Yang Sect was obviously claiming to be the owner of this place, but he didn't care about it at all. After all, the ultimate treasure of the Honghe Taoist Sect was not something that could be decided just by doing this. Therefore, Shen Baishuang didn't reject the Yuan Yang Sect's request. He just nodded and turned around.
After he landed on the mountain peak, he drove away all the servants and maids that the Yuan Yang Sect had arranged here, and went into the tower to cultivate.
About a day later, there was a voice outside the door, "Zhenren Shen, is it convenient? Ping Du Wu Weiyi is here to pay his respects. "
When Shen Baishuang heard that, he retreated from his meditation. Now that the Ping Du Sect followed the lead of the Qincang School, he had already expected the visit of the Grotto-Heaven Sect's cultivator. He opened the pagoda's door and said, "Daoist Wu, please come in and sit."
Perfected Master Wu and Shen Baishuang could be considered old acquaintances. When they arrived at the pagoda, they exchanged some pleasantries before getting down to business. He asked, "Does your sect want this treasure?"
Shen Baishuang said, "I also want to, but Yuxiao will certainly not allow it. Unless our two families fight it out first, there won't be a result, and now is not the right time."
Enlightened Master Wu nodded repeatedly to show that he understood. Then he said in a deep voice, "If your esteemed sect can't get it, then you won't let Yuxiao get it. Who knows who will benefit from it in the end?"
Shen Baishuang said: "This advantage is not easy to take. If we handle this appropriately, we won't necessarily suffer a loss. "
Enlightened Master Wu was curious and said, "Then what do you mean, Zhenren Shen?"
Shen Baishuang did not say it out loud. Instead, he transmitted a few words to Shen Baishuang. Shen Baishuang was surprised after listening to it. He thought for a while and said, "Zhenren Shen, rest assured. I know what to do."
After getting the answer, he sat for a while. Then he left.
Two hours later, Huanzhen Temple's Zhenren Pang also came to visit the pagoda. After a discussion with Shen Baishuang, they stopped at a floating peak not far from here.
Another day passed. A Yuan Yang disciple came outside the pagoda and said, "Zhenren Shen, my sect's Zhenren invites you."
Shen Baishuang drove the pagoda and followed the disciple's guidance to the front of a large peak.
Yuan Yang Sect had only been in this small realm for a day or two, but because they saw themselves as the host, they built a large platform here. Therefore, a large platform was built here, and many flying palaces and buildings were moved here to decorate it. The surrounding clouds were thick and the mist was vast and indistinct.
He looked around and saw Yuan Yang Sect's Zhenren Wen and Zhenren Wu standing on the platform and bowing to him. He returned the bow from afar and descended.
At the same time, there were rays of spiritual light and clear Qi coming over. It was the Zhenrens from various sects. They rode on flying boats, spiritual birds, and strange leaves. They arrived at the peak and after greeting Zhenren Wen, they all landed on the peak.
Shen Baishuang looked over and saw that out of the ten sects of Xuanmen, eight had arrived. Only Shaoqing and Lishan Sect had not arrived.
Shaoqing Sect's whereabouts were hard to pinpoint. They might come or they might not, so there was no need to investigate.
As for Lishan Sect, after Zhenren Yuling left, no one had entered the Heavenly Abode State. There was no hope of obtaining the treasure, so it made no difference whether they came or not.
At this moment, no one from the six demonic sects had arrived. He did not know if the talisman from the demonic sects had other reasons, or if they knew that they could not compete with Xuanmen, so they gave up on the idea.
Zhenren Wen stood at the top of the platform and looked around at the people from the various sects. He said, "All of you Zhenrens have received the talisman from Honghe Sect and are here for the treasure. We can decide who will get their hands on this treasure later. Before that, I need to make one thing clear. Hong He Temple was originally a sect of my Xuan Sect. Its sect's precious treasure should not fall into the hands of the Devil Sect. Therefore, I would like to make an agreement with everyone. If the Devil Sect comes, I hope that my Xuan Sect can join hands to chase them away! "
Wu Fenggu laughed and said loudly, "Zhenren Wen is right. Since our Xuanmen treasure is here, we cannot let the demonic sects steal it. Otherwise, we will lose face. If they come, I, Yuxiao, am willing to help chase them away."
When he spoke, Taihao, Nan Hua, and Bu Tian all expressed their agreement.
This was to target the demonic sects and exclude them. Shen Baishuang would not stop them and nodded in agreement.
Wu Zhen immediately agreed. As for Zhenren Pang, since they were dealing with the demonic sects, as a cultivator of the Huanzhen Sect, she would not be polite and agreed.
Zhenren Wen said, "My Origin Yang disciples have searched the Inner Realm for the past two days and have found the treasure, but they don't dare to take it. Everyone …"
As she spoke to this point, there was a sudden rumble from outside. However, just as the sound entered the hearts of the crowd, it suddenly disappeared without a trace, as if it had been erased halfway through.
All the Daoist Grotto-Heaven felt that Just Now, there were at least two forces colliding. It was obvious that cultivators of the same generation were fighting in the Outer Realm. They were a bit surprised. Who would do something like this at a time like this?
When he looked outside, he saw a flash of light at the realm gate. A woman wearing a tight-fitting robe with a collared collar came in. Her face was beautiful and her eyes were bright. Her hair was combed into two buns and she was wearing a plain, thin dress. Around her was a dot of sword light that twinkled like a star. Even though she was not moving, it was obvious that she was filled with killing intent.
"So it's Daoist Le from the Shaoqing Sect!"
When everyone saw this female cultivator, they immediately recognized her. They all had different thoughts and guessed why she was here.
Wu Fenggu thought, "In the past, when treasures appeared in the continent, the Shaoqing Sect never cared about them. Why are they here now? Do they also want to steal the treasure? "
The woman came closer and bowed. "Le Xirong greets fellow daoists of the Daoist Sects."
Everyone didn't dare to be careless and returned the greeting.
At this time, Tan Dingxian asked, "Spiritual Master Le, may I ask, did you have a conflict with someone with the commotion outside just now?
Daoist Le casually said, "Nothing, but Just Now, I chased a Daoist Master of the demonic sect here and killed him in front of the Realm Gate."
Tan Dingxian was shocked. "Oh? Which sect of the demonic sect is he from? "
Daoist Le frowned. "I have killed all the demonic sect cultivators that came. I believe all the people from the six sects are here."
Everyone looked at each other. Apart from being shocked, they were also fearful.
Although they had only sent their clones here this time, it was not a big deal even if they lost them. However, this was clearly shaming the demonic sect. In the world, only Shaoqing would dare to do this. If the demonic sect didn't want to fall out with them immediately, they could only suffer this loss.
Wu Fenggu praised, "Daoist Le is righteous and cleansed the demonic Qi. You have displayed the righteousness of our Daoist Sects. I am really impressed."
Daoist Le looked over and said seriously, "This Daoist Le is wrong. Xirong can only compete with fellow disciples in the sect. Even outside, I can't stretch my limbs because I'm afraid that the continent will be destroyed. I find it boring. This time, I don't have to worry about this. That's why I went to find a few fellow daoists to spar. To put it bluntly, it's for my own selfish reasons. However, if you are interested, you can come and give me some pointers at any time. I will be delighted. "
When Daoist Wen heard this, she was afraid that this Daoist Le would really find people to fight if he got angry. Before anyone said anything, she interrupted, "Daoist Le, you came at the right time. I'm going to see the treasure with all of you. If you are interested, why don't you come along?"
Daoist Le thought about it and said, "Alright. Since you're here, let's go take a look."
Daoist Wen and Daoist Wu each boarded a chariot and rose with the wind. Their sleeves fluttered as they led the way. The Daoist Masters of the various sects followed behind.
After traveling for tens of thousands of miles, a floating continent gradually appeared in front of them. Daoist Wen pointed forward and said, "It's here."
Everyone took a look and saw that there were no mountains, valleys, lakes, or rivers on the continent. There was only a single tree. This tree was very strange. It did not grow upwards, but instead fell horizontally on the ground. It was crooked and undulating, like a tangled vine or a swimming dragon.
On the highest branch, there was a tall and beautiful golden branch. It was only three feet tall, and its upper half seemed to be hung with something heavy. It was slightly bent, and there was a small flower and leaf on it. It stood in the wind, and as it swayed, there was a clear sound of metal striking jade, and it was pleasing to the ears.
Tan Dingxian took a few glances, stroked his beard and said, "This must be the treasure of Honghe Temple, the Divine Beauty Golden Branch. Originally, this branch had seven leaves. When the West Continent migrated eastward, it was mostly used against the Heavenly Demons. Only one leaf is left. If this leaf is removed, this golden branch will need tens of thousands of years of spiritual opportunity to be transformed before it can regain its original appearance."
When Daoist Master Shi of Taihao School arrived, he did not care about the golden branch. Instead, he stared at the strange tree. There was a slight excitement in his expression.
He pondered for a while and walked out. He stood in front and bowed deeply to everyone. He said, "Fellow Daoists, I, Taihao, know that I am not virtuous and dare not fight for the precious branch. I only wish to get the tree under my feet. That is enough. I hope that fellow Daoists can fulfill my wish."
