When Court Master Liu's magic power rose, Zhuo Qingqing could clearly feel that he was about to snatch it.
Her heart suddenly tightened. Could the person beside her really stop Court Master Liu?
Having the jade taken away was secondary, but to prevent the secret of this place from being leaked, could she and her child's lives be saved?
But in the next moment, she saw Court Master Liu standing there in a daze, motionless. His magic power had also weakened.
She waited for a while, but when she saw that he did not move, her heart was filled with confusion. She looked at the young cultivator and asked, "Fellow, what's wrong with him? Is it your method? "
The young cultivator said in a deep voice, "It's not me who's stopping him, but my Dao."
Zhuo Qingqing was stunned.
After a dozen breaths, Court Master Liu's aura fluctuated, as if he had suddenly woken up from a deep dream. Then, he looked at the jade with a complicated gaze.
Zhuo Qingqing became nervous again and said, "Liu Pufeng, you …"
Court Master Liu shook his head and sighed. "Fellow Zhuo, don't worry. This thing is useless to me."
Just Now that he had entered that world and obtained the inheritance of the Dao, he had seen a supreme Dao path.
After he understood the reason behind it, he knew that even though his cultivation would be able to improve in a short period of time after he obtained the jade, once he relied on it, then he would fall into a barrier in his heart, and he wouldn't be able to go far on his path towards the Dao.
He was originally obsessed with the Dao, so when he saw that this thing could be beneficial to his cultivation, his greed was aroused. But now that he thought about it, how laughable was it?
He cupped his hands towards the young cultivator and said sincerely, "Thank you for allowing me to see the Dao and understand the truth. I hope you can forgive me for my previous disrespect."
The young cultivator nodded with satisfaction. "Since you understand, then you can leave."
Court Master Liu bowed, then turned into a streak of light and left without looking back.
The young cultivator looked at his receding figure and sighed in his heart. It seemed that the order of the Heavenly Justice should be maintained by him. Just Now, this person had vowed to compete with him, but now, he had taken the initiative to retreat. It seemed that he had realized the gap between them. It seemed that he had to restrain himself as much as possible in the future. Otherwise, if he was not careful, he would not give others a chance, which would not be good.
After he was done lamenting, he walked over to Zhuo Qingqing's side and asked, "What are your plans?"
Zhuo Qingqing still felt some disbelief when she saw Headmaster Liu leave just like that. Her eyes involuntarily became a little dazed, but she quickly recovered her clarity. She struggled to get up and bowed to the ground. "I don't dare to trouble you again. It's just that if this child of mine were to follow by my side, it would be holding him back. If you don't mind, why don't you allow him to follow you? I'm also willing to hand the jade stone over to you to deal with."
The young cultivator said straightforwardly, "Then let's do it this way. This child can be considered to be fated with me, so I will take him away."
Zhuo Qingqing was extremely reluctant in her heart and said, "Will I still be able to see him in the future?"
The young cultivator said, "Of course you can. If you want to see him, you can come to the Darkmirror Branch of the Teaching Evolution and report my name, Meng Hu."
Zhuo Qingqing felt a wave of joy in her heart. She bowed gratefully and said, "So it's Fellow Daoist Meng of the Teaching Evolution. Thank you, Fellow Daoist. I will definitely remember Fellow Daoist's great kindness in my heart.
After Meng Hu bid farewell to her, he brought the child back to the Mirror Lake Branch. After casually tossing the child in the abode, he came over to Zhang Chan and reported what had happened.
After listening to him, Zhang Chan glanced elsewhere and said, "I think that child's intelligence is not mature yet. It's not enough to harm him. He needs to be guided later on. Are you able to deal with him?"
Meng Hu said, "Teacher, you've also seen the children I took in earlier. They were all guided onto the right path by me."
Zhang Chan snorted and said, "Whether it's the right path or the wrong path, I don't care how you deal with them. As long as these disciples of yours don't cause trouble for the Teaching Evolution and me in the future, it's fine."
After reprimanding a few more times, he sent Meng Hu away. After thinking for a while, he came to the back room of the cave residence. There was a memorial tablet placed here. He went forward and bowed, saying, "This lowly one greets Master."
Zhang Yan's Weili was everywhere. At this moment, when he bowed down, the Weili automatically reacted and condensed into form, appearing on the portrait behind the confession table. He looked down and said, "Do you have something to tell me?"
Zhang Chan said, "This lowly one was ordered by Master to go down to the lower realm to search for the body of the Spirit of Creation. After going through a few tests, this lowly one thought that with his temperament, he wouldn't be influenced by external forces."
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "You're talking about that disciple of yours called Meng Hu, right? He's indeed a meritorious person and can protect himself. This meritorious deed should be credited to you."
Zhang Chan said, "This lowly one doesn't dare, but this lowly one has a worry."
Zhang Yan said, "Tell me about it."
Zhang Chan said, "In order to resist the Luo Sect's invasion, Meng Hu once dragged his opponent into the Heart Realm, causing the Dao of Spirit of Creation to be inadvertently spread. Although this wasn't his original intention, it still caused this Dao to be leaked. It's really hard for this disciple to speculate whether this is related to it. I'm afraid that it will cause some unexpected disaster, so I came to ask Master for advice."
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "I know about this. This can't be blamed on him. Even if this Dao Dao is spread to the outside, it's not completely a bad thing. After you go back, there's no need to restrict him. He can do whatever he wants to do. In the future, if those Spirits of Creation fall into the heavens, he can deal with it."
Zhang Chan said, "This lowly one understands."
At the headquarters of the Yanshi Sect, the stone door that had been sealed for hundreds of years slowly moved open. A ray of clear light spread out from inside and disappeared in a flash.
The expressions of the disciples who were guarding the door were shocked. They bowed and said, "Welcome back, Sect Master."
Gao Chengtu slowly walked out of the stone mansion. He looked at the disciples who were kneeling in front of the door and said, "Get up."
After the disciples expressed their gratitude, they stood up.
Gao Chengtu said in a deep voice, "Pass down the order. Summon the elders of the sect to the hall for a discussion."
The disciples agreed and went down to pass down the order.
After Gao Guo, Tang You, and the other elders of the sect received the news that Gao Chengtu had come out of seclusion, they immediately handed over the matter at hand to those close to them and returned to the headquarters.
In just one day, all the elders gathered in the main hall.
They observed carefully, but found it difficult to see the depth of Gao Chengtu's Qi dynamic. They knew that after this seclusion, the Sect Master's cultivation must have improved by a level.
Gao Chengtu first led the elders to worship the Sect Master. Then, he returned to the main hall and said, "How is the situation in the sect during my seclusion?"
Immediately, an elder who was in charge of recording and overseeing internal affairs came up and reported the general situation.
Gao Chengtu nodded. He also knew a lot of specific matters. He couldn't say so much in the main hall. He had to ask again later. He sighed and said, "I didn't think that during my seclusion for such a long time, there would be so many things happening in the sect and so many young talents emerging."
He waved his hand and brought over the name list of the sect. He picked up the pen on the table and circled a few names. He handed it to the attendant beside him and said, "Summon these people to the headquarters."
The attendant responded and left the main hall.
Gao Chengtu said in a deep voice, "I came out of seclusion this time. My mana has improved greatly. I also need to make plans for the future of the Yan Sect."
Everyone's expression became solemn. They all straightened their bodies and revealed expressions of listening attentively.
Gao Chengtu said, "In my Bushu Heaven, the Kunshi Continent is the most prosperous. In the past, the strength of the Yan Sect was insufficient, so we didn't make any arrangements on the Kunshi Continent. Now, the strength of the Yan Sect is much stronger than before. So, I want to transfer the elite disciples of the lower houses of the various branches to establish the sect here."
Gao Guo hesitated for a moment. Then, she cupped her hands and said, "Teacher, there are sects like the Luo Sect, Xing Sect, and the De Sect that has never been completely annihilated competing with the Yan Sect. Now that we've shifted our focus to the Kunshi Continent, isn't it a little inappropriate …"
Gao Chengtu said, "I've already seen the submission of the letter. These few sects are only restraining a part of the power. It's impossible for the Yan Sect to throw all of its power here. It just so happens to fall on the Kunshi Continent. You must know that there are countless treasures on the Kunshi Continent. Even if the cultivation of our sect doesn't need to rely on external objects, the elixirs and precious medicines refined from rare and precious items will still help the disciples improve their cultivation. "
Tang You had wanted to settle in the Kunshi Continent for a long time. He said in agreement, "What the Sect Master said is correct. There are countless rare and precious items on the Kunshi Continent. In the past, the Yan Sect had to ask the cultivators of the other sects to get the best materials from here. Not to mention owing favors, the amount is still very little. Instead of that, it's better to establish a sect here. In this way, we can take whatever we want. This will definitely greatly increase the strength of the Yan Sect."
An elder said with a solemn expression, "Elder Tang seems to be looking at this matter too easily. The demons and demons on the Kunshi Continent possess remarkable abilities. It's not something an ordinary world can compare to. If the disciples of the Yan Sect want to establish a foothold here, they'll have to pay a terrible price."
Tang You said indifferently, "This is a necessary matter. The sacrifices of these disciples will be exchanged for the long term prosperity of the Yan Sect. All the elders should understand the trade-off here."
Another elder stroked his beard and said, "I heard that the Dao on the Kunshi Continent is flourishing and that geniuses are emerging in large numbers. Many sects have established their sects here precisely for the sake of recruiting disciples from here. In the long run, it's even more beneficial to us.
Even though there were a few elders present that were opposed to the matter of establishing a sect on the Kunshi Continent, the majority of the elders were in favor of this suggestion. So this matter was quickly settled and they immediately dispatched manpower from the various altars.
On the other hand, Gao Chengtu still handed over the matters of the sect to Gao Guo to manage while he personally took charge of this matter.
His seclusion this time was also to prepare for the future. He could see that within the Yan Sect, there were currently a few extremely talented people who had reached the level of Mortal Metamorphosis, but they similarly stopped there. If they wanted to go further, even if their own potential could be unearthed, it would still be difficult for them to break through that barrier by relying on their own strength, unless they could obtain the legendary Profound Stone.
Even though he knew that the chances of obtaining this item were extremely slim, he could always meddle in the matters of the Kunshi Continent and the Mountain and Sea Realm in the future. If he was lucky, he might even be able to get what he wanted.
About half a month later, after he had roughly sorted out all the matters, he dismissed his attendants and went to the Ancestral Hall alone. He burned incense and worshipped, and finally knelt before the memorial tablet of the Sect Ancestor, saying in his heart, "Disciple wishes to establish a sect on the Kunshi Continent. The affairs of the world are unpredictable, and there may be discord with the various sects in the future. I hope the Sect Ancestor can protect me!"
