Mountain and Sea Realm, Dragon Abyss Sea.
In the middle of the lake, a few small Dragon Carps were tossing and turning, chasing each other and kicking up waves. The young flood dragons couldn't bear the disturbance, and flew up into the sky on clouds.
Guan Yingyue stood in a bronze pavilion high above the lake, occasionally sprinkling some medicinal pills, which caused the Dragon Carps to fight over them. The lake water was thrown into chaos.
Next to him stood a mature and steady young man, who looked like a young adult. After observing for a long time, he said, "Master, it seems the medicinal pills I sprinkled aren't enough for the Dragon Carps."
Guan Yingyue said, "That's right."
The young man asked curiously, "Master, why are you doing this?"
Guan Yingyue said, "Because this is the only way to attract competition." He pointed down. "If the lake water doesn't move, it's nothing more than a pool of stagnant water. If the Dragon Carps don't fight, they'll grow fat and greedy, and when that happens, they won't be of any use."
The young man seemed to understand something.
At this moment, a young cultivator came forward. He bowed and said, "Teacher." Then he bowed to the young man and said, "Senior Martial Brother."
The young man hurriedly bowed back.
Guan Yingyue didn't even turn his head. "What is it?"
The young cultivator lowered his head. "Master," he said, "the Spirit Qi of the Outer Realm is getting weaker, and there are quite a few sects that have come to ask for our help. Should we still refuse them?"
Guan Yingyue stopped what he was doing and handed the medicinal pills back to the young man. He ordered him to continue feeding the Dragon Carps. Then he turned and said, "Ever since the sects of the Mountain and Sea Realm have interacted with the Heavens and the Myriad Realms, which one of them has nothing to do with us? We can't open this door. Otherwise, if everyone comes begging, are we just going to let them into the Realm? Let's stick to what we did before. Say that the Mountain and Sea Realm won't let outsiders in. However, if there's anything they need, we'll help them out on account of our relationship as fellow Daoists. "
The young cultivator seemed to want to say something, but in the end he didn't. He just said, "As for the Shaoqing Sect...."
Guan Yingyue shook his head and said, "You don't have to care about Fellow Daoist Shaoqing's matter. If the outsiders can really pass their test, what's wrong with allowing them to enter?"
In the Mountain and Sea Realm, the Qincang, the Shaoqing, and the Netherspring sects were in charge. Up until now, neither the Qincang nor the Netherspring sects had opened an entrance. The Shaoqing Sect's rules were simple; as long as you could defeat them in direct combat, they would let you in. However, up until now, no one had been able to do so.
The young cultivator expressed his understanding and was about to withdraw when Guan Yingyue called him back, looked at him a few times, and said, "You seem to have something on your mind?"
The young cultivator was silent for a moment before saying, "I have something to say, but I don't know if I should say it."
Guan Yingyue glanced at him and said, "Since you have something to say, then say it. There is no need to be so secretive between master and disciple."
"Disciple is being unreasonable," the young cultivator said. "There's something I've always wanted to say." His voice was a bit louder towards the end, causing the young man who was feeding to look over.
"The Mountain and Sea Realm is filled with boundless Spiritual Qi. Those who have nothing to do with us are one thing. But if we don't allow those of our own generation to enter, why don't we give them some external medicine? It's not like the Qincang school can't handle it. "
With that, the young cultivator lowered his head and continued, "Disciple might have been a bit rash when it comes to the sect's general strategy, but the Mountain and Sea Realm...

If we sit back and watch our fellow Daoists fall into danger and do nothing to help them, how will others view us in the future? The reputation of the Mountain and Sea Realm will be tarnished because of this. "
Guan Yingyue's voice was a bit flat as he said, "We are Daoists, so we don't need to care too much about such things. Nowadays, those who have Spiritual Qi to enjoy are defending their foundations, not just us. Those who don't have Spiritual Qi to use are fighting and killing each other. When the sect disappears, and their lifespans run out, everything will disappear. How they view us is meaningless to me."
The disciple couldn't help but argue, "But I don't think that's necessarily the case. The Spiritual Qi of the Myriad Heavens and Realms has been in turmoil for thousands of years. Even the Myriad Heavens, which have stood for millions of years, are now beginning to collapse. Only the Qinghua Heavens are still standing, but it's hard to say when they will fall to such a state …"
Guan Yingyue looked at him and said, "I didn't expect you to have such thoughts. No wonder you pity those sects. But you have to see that even though the Myriad Heavens are no longer in place, the Green Jade Palace is still protecting the Qinghua Heavens. With Yuan Zun in charge, this realm can be said to be eternal and indestructible. When Spiritual Qi is revived, in another million years, won't it still be able to establish the current situation? And my Qincang School has that person, so we don't need to fear such changes. So you don't need to worry. "
The disciple was still not convinced, and argued, "But Master, we rely on the Upper Realm Almighty, but what's the point of us facing them? What if the Almighty changes it with a single thought? "
Guan Yingyue shook his head and said, "You think too much. This is not something you should worry about. How can you guess the thoughts of those Almighty? You should be working hard to improve your cultivation like your fellow disciples, instead of worrying about these insignificant things. "
The disciple sighed and said, "Master, I understand the logic, but I just can't get around it."
Guan Yingyue said, "In a few days, it will be the Banquet of All Sects. Go on my behalf and enjoy yourself there. Don't come back for a year."
The young cultivator was stunned, thinking that his master did not like him, so he sent him away. He felt a little depressed, bowed, and said, "Yes, Master."
Guan Yingyue watched him leave and couldn't help but laugh. He had seen people with similar thoughts as this disciple before. After this person understood the grandeur of the heavens and myriad worlds, and the mighty power of the Upper Realm, he always felt that he was small and insignificant, and thus began to doubt himself. However, after a few days of freedom, he would naturally cast aside these things that had nothing to do with him.
He turned around and looked at the young man, and said, "Disciple, what do you think?"
The young man thought for a while and said, "Senior Apprentice-Brother, you seem to have a point. But from what I see, isn't the Spiritual Qi in the world the pills in our hands? And we are like the Dragon Carp, maybe the Almighty of the Upper Realm wants us to compete with each other for it. "
Guan Yingyue said, "You have some understanding by analogy, but you need to remember, the thoughts of the Almighty of the Upper Realm is not something we can understand. You can think about it when you get close to that realm. Now, you just need to do what is in front of you."
The young man seemed to understand, but he did not.
As the two were talking, a talisman suddenly flew over from afar. Guan Yingyue caught it and looked at it. His expression turned serious. He looked at his disciple, thought for a while, and said, "Come with me."
He waved his sleeve, and in an instant, the two of them arrived in front of the Ancestral Hall. At that moment, a Daoist in a black robe was standing there with his back facing them.
Guan Yingyue took a deep breath and bowed, and said, "Greetings, Hall Master Guan Zhen." The young man followed his master and bowed.
Zhang Yan did not turn back. He stood on the jade steps and looked at the majestic hall door with his hands behind his back, and said, "I am from

Go pay your respects to the Ancestral Master, Elder Guan can wait outside first. "
As the Hall Master, if he wanted to pay his respects to the Ancestral Master, he did not need anyone's permission. However, the Ancestral Hall was guarded by Guan Yingyue now, and he had to follow the sect's rules in Qincang School, so he greeted him.
Guan Yingyue hurriedly said, "I dare not, Hall Master Du Zhen can do as you please." As he spoke, he saw Zhang Yan's robe fluttering, and he had already stepped into the Ancestral Hall. His figure quickly disappeared.
The young man looked up at his master, and tugged the latter's sleeve. There was excitement on his face, and he said, "Master, master, is Hall Master Du Zhen the one in the sect's rumors?"
Guan Yingyue said, "Yes, he is."
The young man exclaimed in a low voice, and he asked curiously, "Then … Master, is Hall Master Du Zhen here to pay his respects to the Ancestral Master?"
Guan Yingyue looked at the door of the hall and said with some emotion, "Just Now, I've told you that the thoughts of the mighty people in the upper state are not something we can guess. You and I don't need to think too much about it, and just focus on our own cultivation."
Somewhere in the sky of Buxu Heaven, Azure Saint sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, and his spirit was floating in the void.
He was the only one among the Spirit Refinement cultivators who dared to spread his own consciousness out of Buxu Heaven, and this was to seek the best opportunity. No matter how difficult it was to seek Dao, as long as no one stopped him, he would never stop pursuing Dao.
It was just that the Da De Weili were too strong, and his Weili would collapse as soon as he went up, so he could only look for the Da De Qi that might have been banished into eternal silence.
Just as he was wandering around, he suddenly came into contact with a strange aura.
This Qi was extremely mysterious, and it was clearly at the same level as the Da De. However, this time, it did not disperse his Weili, and instead, it took the initiative to find him.
He was instantly alerted, and he immediately retreated to Buxu Heaven. However, before he could do that, the other party had already shone into his spirit.
In a trance, he saw a blurry figure there, and he asked coldly, "Who are you?"
The blurry figure said, "Since you are looking for the best technique, why are you so resistant?"
Azure Saint said in a deep voice, "Who are you? I don't talk to people of unknown origin."
The figure smiled, "You have been wandering in the void for a long time. Even if I don't say it, you should be able to guess my identity."
Azure Saint's expression turned cold, and he vaguely guessed the other party's identity. He asked cautiously, "What do you want?"
The figure said, "I can feel that you are Weili in the void. What you are looking for is the best technique in the upper state, so why don't we make a deal?"
Azure Saint asked in a deep voice, "What kind of deal?"
The figure said, "My real body will soon return to everything, but Buxu Heaven is still perfect, and it will take me a lot of effort to occupy this place. I don't need you to do anything, just accept the spirit that I send over at the crucial moment. As long as you agree, I will teach you the Dao technique, and I will even protect you after the battle. Are you willing?"
