Huanzhen Temple, in the heart of the thunder pool.
Zhang Zhen closed her eyes and sat in concentration. Outside of her body, thunder and lightning surrounded her body and there was a series of explosions.
Her current level of cultivation had already surpassed the founding master of the sect. However, the pool of lightning that the founding master left behind was not that simple. When Huanzhen Temple was built, it received help from the various sects of Xuanmen. The founding masters of various sects all helped out. Even until now, cultivating in this place was still able to reap many benefits.
As she was cultivating, she suddenly felt something. She looked over and saw a divine light flying towards her. She raised her hand and caught it. When she read it, she thought, "So it's a letter from my elder brother."
She thought for a moment and left the thunder pool. She walked up the jade stairs to the main hall and ordered the formation spirit, "Invite the two elders here."
The formation spirit bowed and went to pass on the order.
Not long after, there was a flash of light outside and there was a faint sound of thunder. When the sound disappeared, Kong Shutong and Elder Cang walked into the hall and bowed, "Greetings, Zhenren."
Zhang Zhen said, "Please take a seat."
After the two of them sat down, she picked up the talisman book and said, "I have invited the two elders here. This is a talisman book sent by Hall Master Zhang of Qincang School. Please take a look." As she spoke, she waved the talisman book into two and passed it down.
Kong and Cang received it and read it. After a while, their expressions turned solemn.
Elder Cang frowned, "The extraterritorial demonic creatures are so rampant?"
Kong Shutong looked solemn too. From the letter, with the power of the inner demon, these demonic creatures could easily destroy a realm and make those realms have no more spiritual vigor. If it was not stopped, it was hard to imagine what would happen to the Void Primordial Sea.
Zhang Zhen said, "Elders, how is the cultivation of the disciples?"
Kong Shutong said, "Ever since we changed our cultivation method, the results have been very good. Over the past few decades, more than three thousand disciples have emerged."
Elder Cang said in a deep voice, "Sect Master, are you going to send disciples to the Void Primordial Sea? Once you do that, you'll officially be fighting with the monsters. "
Zhang Zhen said indifferently, "Isn't it because of today that I am cultivating the Demon Subduing Fruit in the Anatta Temple?"
The letter didn't ask for anything from the Anatta Temple, just some information about the Outsider Devils. In truth, it was for her to make her own decisions based on the situation in the sect. However, she believed that the Anatta Temple had been stable for a long time after arriving in the Mountain and Sea Realm. Waiting any longer would only wear them down.
Elder Cang thought about it and said, "Sect Master, these disciples are the elites of our sect. If they all die, it will be a great loss. Perhaps we can wait for a few more days."
Zhang Zhen, however, shook her head and rejected this suggestion. "Devils are evolving at all times. It's useless to work behind closed doors. Moreover, if one doesn't know the Dao of Subduing Devils, then how can one improve?"
Elder Cang saw that she had made up her mind, so he didn't try to persuade her anymore. He only bowed and said yes.
Zhang Zhen said, "Don't worry, Elders. The Anatta Temple is going for the safety of all living beings. It's just us, and we won't be able to support it. I'll try to discuss it with my brother and the other sect masters."
When Elder Cang heard that, he felt more at ease.
A female disciple entered the hall and said, "Sect Master, Just Now, a messenger from the Qincang School is here to deliver a letter." As she said this, she presented the letter in her hand.
Zhang Zhen took it and flipped through it, then put it down. She said, "Where is the messenger?
The female disciple said, "He has already left."
Zhang San pondered for a moment and understood that the contents of the letter shouldn't be anything important. Otherwise, her elder brother would have mentioned it before. She said, "It just so happens that the two elders are also here. Let's discuss this matter together." She opened the letter, and a series of words floated out.
Elder Cang and Kong Shutong looked at it and were stunned. The content was unexpected. They were asking them to recommend disciples to enter the path of Shen.
The Anatta Temple was considered a big sect now. Zhang Zhen was a mortal cultivator, so she was given five positions of deity. However, there was no demand. If she was unwilling, she could reject it.
Zhang Zhen waited for the two of them to finish reading and said, "Regarding this matter, what do the two elders think?"
Elder Cang spoke first, "Look at the conditions. The person who takes up the position of deity must have a firm heart and be brave in taking on tasks. Although our Anatta Temple has such disciples, all of them are the elites of the sect. If we were to fight with the demons from the outer regions, it would be a loss if we lose even one of them. In my opinion, it's better to reject them."
Zhang Zhen's eyes turned and fell on Kong Shutong. She said, "Elder Kong, what do you mean?"
Kong Shutong thought for a while and said, "I have a different opinion. According to Sect Master, Zhang Zhenren and the few Bhadanta are especially concerned about the Kun Shi Continent. This means that the future battle will be held there. Although these external deities are not eye-catching now, who knows what will happen after thousands of years? By then, it will be a huge monster that can control the situation of the various worlds. If I have disciples among them, it will be more convenient for me to do things in the future. "
However, Elder Cang objected and said, "Elder Kong, I've also thought about what you've said. However, once those disciples become gods, although they'll gain eternal life, it'll be equivalent to cutting off their Dao path. Perhaps they'll be grateful to us now, but as time passes, or if the heavenly fate changes, they might not appreciate our kindness."
Kong Shutong didn't agree and said, "People's hearts are fickle, and this isn't something that I can control. There are those who hate me, and there are those who love me. Moreover, there are those who love me. Moreover, with High Honorable Zhang above us, I'm afraid that there might be some changes."
Elder Cang frowned, "The Anatta Temple is the Anatta Temple …"
Kong Shutong smiled and said, "When did I say it wasn't? If it wasn't for Zhenren Zhang who reorganized and deduced the martial arts, the Anatta Temple wouldn't be as bright as it is today. Since we are indebted to him, it is impossible to cut ties with him."
When Elder Cang heard that, he was speechless for a moment.
Zhang Zhen then made a conclusion and said, "As Elder Kong said, the matter of the deity position is obviously beneficial to me, there is no need to reject it." She looked up at the two, "I will leave this matter to the two elders. After it is settled, just bring it to me for a look. However, the most important thing now is to conquer the extraterritorial demons. Arrange it as soon as possible. The extraterritorial demons are getting stronger day by day. The earlier we fight with them, the earlier the Anatta Temple can make arrangements."
Both of them stood up and said in unison, "We will follow the order of the sect leader."
Yu Yuetian.
Another period of time passed. The cultivators here noticed that so long as they stopped cultivating and circulating their magic energy, then they would be able to avoid dying mysteriously like those Fellow Daoists. But that was all. Most of them could only stay within their abodes and restrictions, and they didn't dare casually leave.
Outside, some Daoist cultivators who had surrendered to the extraterritorial demons appeared and built a majestic altar on the peak of the mountain in a short period of time.
After waiting here for a few days, an old man who was the leader suddenly became spirited and said, "It's here."
Everyone raised their heads to look, only to see a ghostly flame piercing through the sky, and with an astonishing momentum, it rushed in their direction. Even though the people below the stage were all shocked to the point that their faces were pale, they all stood firmly on the spot, and no one dared to leave.
The ghastly flame suddenly smashed onto the altar. However, the strange thing was that there was no sound of collision and the altar was not damaged at all. Then, a young Daoist wearing a ghastly Daoist robe appeared. As he arrived, an obscure Qi dynamic shrouded the area.
The old man lifted his robe and knelt down. He said loudly, "Welcome, high emissary."
The people behind him also knelt down.
The young Daoist looked around and revealed a satisfied expression. He said, "All of you have done well. Get up."
"Thank you, high emissary."
The old man bowed respectfully again and stood up.
The young Daoist wanted to say something, but he suddenly turned around and looked underground. The old man said, "High emissary? Did you find something? "
After a while, the young Daoist retracted his gaze and waved his hand. He said, "It's fine. It's just that some fish that escaped the net is spying on me. Let them go. The more they circulate their techniques, the more likely they will be found by the inner demons. That person should be not far from death."
The old man hesitated and wanted to say something but stopped.
The young Daoist said, "You seem to have something to say?"
The old man said, "I have something I don't understand. This inner demon technique comes from the hearts of Daoist cultivators. If there are no Daoist cultivators in the world, will there be no inner demons?"
The young Daoist said meaningfully, "We are also Daoist cultivators. There will not be Daoist cultivators in the world."
The old man seemed to have thought of something and his expression changed slightly.
The young Daoist looked around and said, "Are all of you ready? After the ritual, you will be my clansmen. "
When the old man heard that, he immediately became excited and threw all his worries to the back of his head. He said, "We have already set up the sacrificial table according to the high emissary's request. We are only waiting for the high emissary to come and preside over it."
The young Daoist said, "Very good." He walked to the front of the four lotus seats on the altar and bowed respectfully. Under everyone's shocked gaze, four demon statues appeared on the lotus seats.
After the young Daoist bowed a few times, he said, "The four demon masters are worshiped on this altar. Each of them has unimaginable abilities. They are the source of all the Weili of our generation. If you want to obtain the divine power, you need to focus on worshiping one of them. If you receive a response, you will be able to obtain the benefits."
The elder looked over and realized that these four Devil Masters all looked the same on the surface, but he could actually tell the difference, especially the one in the lead. With just a glance, he felt his consciousness getting dizzy, as if he was about to be swallowed. His heart stirred, and he asked, "May I ask High Envoy, how do I address the first Devil Master?"
The young Daoist's expression froze and he seemed to be a little fearful. He said, "The one at the front is the Chi Zhou Demon Master. He is the first demon master in the world and possesses unimaginable power. However, you have to think this through. This demon master rarely responds to his believers. Even if you obtain any divine power, you can only rely on yourself to cultivate."
The old man was originally a little hesitant. However, after hearing the explanation, he became determined and said, "Thank you for the reminder, high emissary. I will remember it."
He went to the front of the demon statue and kowtowed respectfully. Then, he followed the instructions. Not long later, he felt countless unknown things surging into his body. It was as if he was immersed in the fire of a furnace. His body and even his spirit were being refined continuously.
After an unknown period of time, he stood up. However, he had already regained his youthful appearance.
The young Daoist sized him up and chuckled. He bowed and said, "Congratulations to this fellow Daoist for joining my sect."
