After Lu Zhipei thought about it, he was about to find his fellow sect members, but Just Now he was about to move, but he stopped.
He suddenly thought, what excuse could he use to say these things?
Could it be that he woke up from a dream and obtained the memory of ninety thousand years later?
After all, there seemed to be many people whose souls had been infected in this unforeseen event. What if they took him to be such a person? What should he do then?
Thinking about this, he couldn't help but hesitate.
In fact, if he just randomly found an excuse and told the truth when he saw Sect Leader Wei Zihong, it was not impossible. He believed that with Wei Zihong's cultivation and knowledge, he would be able to tell whether what he said was true or false. The scary thing was that before he saw the Sect Leader, he would be stopped.
This was very possible, especially now that he didn't know anyone from the sect, in the eyes of the Elders, it was very suspicious. If he was imprisoned for ten days or half a month, he wouldn't even have a place to run, then he wouldn't be trying to save himself, he would be seeking death.
At this time, a cultivator came over, seeing that he was standing still, he asked curiously, "Junior martial brother Yao, what are you doing here? Have you finished the things that Martial Uncle asked you to do? "
Lu Zhipei came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "I haven't finished yet."
The cultivator kindly said, "Then you have to hurry, starting from the day after tomorrow, all the sects' Spiritual Masters will be coming here one after another, if there is any delay, you will be punished."
Lu Zhipei lowered his head and said, "Yes, senior martial brother."
The cultivator felt that he was a little strange today, but there were many disciples of the Yaoyin Clan, he and Lu Zhipei weren't familiar before, he just happened to pass by and reminded him, so he didn't think too much about it, and he still had a lot of things to do.
Lu Zhipei let out a sigh of relief, but after this matter, he was even more afraid to go to the upper echelons of the sect.
But if he didn't take this path, what should he do?
After thinking about it, his eyes suddenly lit up, he thought of a way.
When he was talking with the two Deacon Taoists, he knew from them that he was acting as the Deacon here. He was responsible for the expenses and cultivation needs of the disciples of each sect during the entire Battle of Spells Grand Gathering, and even managing the various matters of welcoming and sending people.
The most convenient thing about this identity was that it allowed him to come into contact with the disciples of various sects.
As far as he knew, after this incident, other than some upper realm cultivators, there were also many lower realm disciples who survived. Many of these people would become famous in the future, and their current cultivation levels were not high. As long as they were with these people when the incident happened, their chances of survival were not small.
The only problem now was who to look for.
Because of his identity, it was impossible for him to stay with these people all the time. He had to get in touch with them before anything happened.
After repeatedly searching through the memories in his mind, he had a few candidates in mind.
The first choice was a disciple of the Huanzhen Temple. The Huanzhen Temple would be one of the twelve celestial sects in the future. This time, the headmaster Zhang Zhen would come personally and had protected many people during the incident. As long as he could befriend this disciple and stay together during the incident, then at the crucial moment, he would be protected together.
The next choice was the two disciples of the Shaoqing Sect. Although they were only Core Formation cultivators now, they would become Enlightened Masters in the future.
Actually, these two were the easiest to get close to because the Shaoqing Sect disciples never avoided challenges from their peers. So as long as you took the initiative to invite them to battle, they would definitely accept it gladly. They would not care if you were trying to make a name for yourself or for some other purpose.
The last choice was to befriend a disciple of the Pengyuan Sect. Any one of them was fine, as long as he could hide in their base before the incident happened.
Although the Pengyuan Sect was only a second-rate sect, for some reason, no one from the top to the bottom of the sect was injured. This was because they had preserved their vitality. Although they would not be one of the twelve celestial sects after ninety thousand years, they could still be considered a large sect.
However, he had only heard rumors about this, and it was difficult to determine whether it was true or not. So, he placed this choice as the last.
After figuring this out, he felt much more relaxed. At least he still had a few ways out.
In the next half a day, he quietly obtained the names of a few nearby disciples from the steward Daoist around him. He also tried to interact with them for a while, but he did not reveal any flaws.
On the second day, when he was checking the pills and medicines in the storehouse, he saw a ray of light flying towards him. He immediately grabbed it in his hand, but before he could react, he felt a thought drilling into his mind. It was the Sect Elder telling him that a big sect's Sect Leader had arrived. He was told to temporarily put down what he was doing and go greet the Sect Leader together with him.
He immediately handed the matter over to the steward Daoist while he went to the rendezvous point. He followed a sage-like Daoist with fluttering robes through the Transfer Formation and arrived at the edge of the Heavenly Mountain.
Looking at the sea of clouds around him, he sighed. Although it seemed like he could get out of this place with just a few steps, in reality, he was within the range of the restriction. It was impossible for him to escape alone.
After a brief moment, the clouds parted, and a 3000-meter-tall pagoda emerged from the sea of clouds. The pagoda was supported by beautiful clouds, and jade smoke and white mist floated above the eaves. The music of golden drums and chanting could also be heard.
"Ping Du Sect?"
Lu Zhipei thought about it carefully. He knew very little about this sect. Apart from knowing that it would be a large sect in the future, he did not have any memories related to it. Therefore, he let go of his thoughts and admired the magnificent scene that was rarely seen in the future.
The sect leader of Ping Du Sect, Ni Tianping, stood at the top of the pagoda and looked at the misty Heavenly Mountain in front of him. However, he had a deep expression on his face, and his eyebrows were knitted together as if he had something on his mind.
Behind him, a trusted elder came up to the pagoda and bowed. "Sect leader …"
Ni Tianping asked without turning his head, "What's the matter?"
Elder Daoren answered, "Sect leader, they're getting restless again. They're provoking us everywhere."
Ni Tianping said, "Let them be. There's no need to respond. Don't let outsiders laugh at us before the competition."
Elder Daoren replied, "Yes, I'll try my best to appease them."
Ni Tianping said, "Elder Cai, I'll have to trouble you for now. This matter has to be resolved eventually. Otherwise, even if Ping Du Sect is in the limelight for now, we may not be able to stand side by side with the other sects in the future."
Elder Cai said angrily, "What Sect Leader said is right, but some people just don't understand the bigger picture."
Ping Du Sect's techniques were completely reliant on the Hidden Zodiac Pagoda. Success came from the pagoda, and failure came from the pagoda. Since there were only a few dharma spirits in the pagoda, it meant that there were only a few cultivators who could achieve something in the sect. Moreover, there was only one person who could really reach the upper mortal shedding state.
Now, with the help of abundant spiritual opportunity and countless external objects, the sects' strength had greatly increased. It was foreseeable that their power would become even more powerful in the future. However, if Ping Du Sect only held on to the Hidden Zodiac Pagoda, then there would be no more potential to speak of.
Therefore, after Ni Tianping took over the sect, he started from scratch. He gradually separated the basic techniques of the disciples from the pagoda, and used the dharma spirits as supernatural powers instead of relying on their lives.
However, the elders in the sect who relied on the dharma spirits had always been obstructing this. Therefore, the sect was now vaguely divided into two factions.
Ni Tianping sighed and said, "Our ancestors obtained this pagoda only to borrow it to use techniques, not to pass on techniques. This was originally not for Ping Du Sect, but after thousands of years, the primary and secondary have been reversed. Isn't it sad?"
Elder Cai Daoren said, "Fortunately, Sect Leader is still around. Ping Du Sect still has hope of breaking away from this shackle."
Ni Tianping shook his head. Actually, this arrangement had already been made by the previous two generations of sect leaders. When Qi Hongchan was still in power, he thought that relying on the Hidden Zodiac Pagoda would definitely drag the sect down. Although he had the intention to do so, until he passed away, the conditions were not ripe. When the sect fell into Wu Weiyi's hands, he followed this aspiration and gradually nurtured a batch of disciples who left the pagoda, including him.
However, the cultivators who occupied the dharma spirits were still the most powerful in the sect because their strength grew faster. If he was not the sect leader and had a righteous status, he would not be able to suppress them at all.
Back then, Wu Weiyi did not take him in as a disciple, but a disciple on behalf of his master. It was to be able to control these people in terms of seniority.
In the conservative faction, there was an elder whose cultivation was extremely similar to his. Now, it was time to see who would be able to sever their mortal body first.
If he was one step ahead, then Ping Du Sect could gradually break away from relying on the dharma spirits in the future, and everything would proceed as he had planned. However, if that elder succeeded first, then the hard work of three generations of sect leaders would very likely be in vain.
This grand meeting was actually a continuation of this competition. Whichever side performed better would very likely be able to win the hearts of the middle-level and lower-level disciples.
However, this was not the only reason he came here. In his heart, he faintly felt that in this competition, there seemed to be a fortuitous encounter for him to advance to the upper realm.
At this time, the Ping Du Sect suddenly heard melodious music. After a while, waves of fragrance wafted over.
Ni Tianping looked towards the source of the music and saw countless colorful petals dancing under the magnificent sunlight. Every petal was exquisite and gorgeous. In the incense array, a ten-thousand-foot cloud raft flew over. It was surrounded by colorful butterfly knots, and the clouds were wrapped in bells. The clear music was pleasing to the ears, and the wind ruffled the skirt, making it look exquisite.
A heroic-looking woman in a Daoist robe with a high bun stood on the raft. Behind her were maids holding treasured fans, incense burners, jade bottles, and silver cups. Behind them was the Hundred Flower Envoy with a blue lantern. This woman also saw Ni Tianping's dharma carriage. She bowed from afar and said, "Sect Leader Ni."
Ni Tianping recognized that this was the Li Mountain Sect Leader Yun Suhan. He bowed in the pagoda and said, "Sect Leader Yun."
Yun Suhan looked at him and said, "Fellow Daoist, your fortuitous encounter is coming. Perhaps it won't be long before you can come to your sect to congratulate us."
Ni Tianping said humbly, "Whether it is success or failure, it all depends on luck."
Yun Suhan said, "Not so. The disciples of the sect talk about fate and luck, but we are all respected elders of the sect. We can only succeed, not fail. If we advance, the world will be wide open. If we retreat, we will be beyond redemption."
Her voice was firm, and anyone could hear that it contained a will that wouldn't allow her to retreat.
Ni Tianping thought about how when the Li Mountain Sect first entered the Mountain and Sea Realm, it was ranked last among the great sects. It did not even have a single Heaven's Abode. It could only rely on its past friendship with the other sects to survive, and it could fall to the second-rate at any time. But now, it had survived. Yun Suhan had become a mortal, and the Li Mountain Sect had become a great sect, even above the Ping Du Sect.
When he thought about this, he secretly made up his mind. It seemed that when it came to this fortuitous encounter, he had to search for it with all his might. He could not afford to be careless.
