Discussion on Staying or Leaving in the Floating Palace
One's Heart Was Full of Beauty
After the great change in Qincang School in the past, the Xuanmen aristocratic families rose above the master and disciple lineage in one fell swoop. However, after the Three Pools of Lake Demons were eliminated, the master and disciple lineage recovered and regained their power to suppress the aristocratic families.
For hundreds of years, the aristocratic families were far from being united. Faced with the overbearing power of the master and disciple lineage, they were like a plate of loose sand. In the past twenty years, the sect leader, Qin Mobai, had taken down several Xuanmen aristocratic families.
Because of this, in order to salvage the unfavorable situation, the five families in the sect secretly pushed for the Pill Grading Assembly. It was all for the sake of making a name for themselves and gathering people's hearts.
They originally thought that they would be able to suppress the arrogance of the master and disciple lineage. However, the master and disciple disciple, Zhang Yan, looked down on everyone. With the power of a first-grade Golden Core, he defeated many true disciples of the aristocratic families in the assembly, causing the Pill Grading Assembly to end in silence.
After the assembly, the three Spiritual Masters, Zheng, Du, and Feng, returned to their clans and meditated in seclusion.
Once the news spread, the entire sect was in an uproar and was extremely shocked.
It must be known that in the ten thousand years of Qincang School's history, there were very few people who had such achievements. It immediately attracted the attention of everyone. Some were deep in thought, some were impressed, some were indifferent, and some were wary and hostile. All of these people had their own agendas. Under the mountain gate, there was already a turbulent undercurrent.
However, this matter also spread throughout the ten great sects of Dong Hua. Everyone knew that Qincang School had produced another outstanding true disciple who shocked the past and present.
Five days after the Furious Waves Cliff Assembly, in Qincang School, the sound of a bell rang throughout the mountain gate. However, it was different from the usual. This sound came from the jade bell above the Heavenly Gate. Those with slightly higher positions in the sect immediately knew that this was the sect leader summoning the four disciples.
The clouds in the Floating Heavenly Palace were misty and colorful. A strange fragrance wafted through the air, and auspicious light rushed into the clouds.
A chime sounded from outside the hall as a young man dressed in a golden robe walked in. He was one of the four Enlightened Masters, Sun Zhi Yan.
He walked into the basilica with a smile on his face. When he turned his gaze, he saw that Meng Zhen had already taken his seat at the head of the basilica. Meng Zhen had a jade-like face and big ears. His eyes were slightly closed, and his black beard hung down to his chest. He looked dignified and upright. Meng Zhen hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Greetings, Eldest Senior Brother!"
Meng Zhen opened his eyes and nodded. "Junior Martial Brother Sun, you're here."
Sun Zhenren accepted the gifts and sat on the last praying mat. Just as he was about to speak, Meng Zhen waved his horsetail whisk and said, "Let the sect master make the decision."
Sun Zhenren nodded and sat still.
Not long after, two chimes came from outside. Immortal Zhu and Immortal Yan entered the main hall one after another. When they saw Meng Zhen, they cupped their hands and greeted, "Eldest Brother."
Meng Zhen bowed slightly in return and said, "You don't have to be so courteous. (An Kun)
(An Kun) "
Immortal Zhu and Immortal Yan nodded at Sun Zhenren again. Then, they sat down on their respective praying mats and didn't say a word.
After waiting for an hour, he suddenly felt something in his heart. He immediately looked up and saw a shadow that was already sitting on the jade platform.
The four Enlightened Masters immediately straightened their faces and stood up together. They cupped their hands and said, "Welcome, Sect Master."
A gentle voice came from the shadow. "Disciples, you don't have to be so courteous. Go back to your seats."
The four Enlightened Masters bowed again and returned to their seats. They sat upright and still. They all looked like they were listening to teachings and didn't dare to be rude.
The Sect Master said gently, "I called you here because of the true disciple, Zhang Yan. You should know what's going on."
There was silence. After a while, Meng Zhen bowed to the Sect Master and said, "Master, I have something to say."
The Sect Master said, "Say it."
Zhenren Meng's expression turned serious as he looked at his three junior brothers. He lowered his voice and said, "Zhang Yandan has reached the first rank. He is the first person in our sect to achieve this in a thousand years. This is the fortune of our Yincang Sect. The ancestors of the past generations must be greatly comforted after knowing about this. Therefore, in my opinion, we should immediately bestow upon him the mystical skills and the true teachings of the Great Path to help him reach a higher level."
Immortal Zhu frowned when he heard this. The Sect Master saw it clearly. He said, "Zhi Xing, what do you have to say?"
He chuckled and said, "Today's gathering is not restricted. If you have something to say, you can say it."
Immortal Zhu hurriedly bowed and said, "Master, in my opinion, although Eldest Brother's words are reasonable, Zhang Yan has achieved the first grade of Dan and should also be rewarded. However, he has been searching for medicine outside for twenty years. Now Zhang Yan has returned to the sect and hasn't achieved anything. If we bestow techniques at this time, I'm afraid it will cause dissatisfaction among the disciples in the sect and cause discord."
Immortal Yan also said, "What Senior Brother Zhu said is very true. Moreover, Zhang Yan has achieved the first grade of Jindan, so it is inevitable that he will be arrogant. Therefore, in my opinion, we should choose a small cold world and let him cultivate in seclusion. On one hand, it can temporarily calm down the disturbance, and on the other hand, it can help him cultivate his mind."
Sun Zhenren sneered and said, "Senior Brother Yan, what do you mean by this? It is a blessing for the sect that my disciple has achieved the first grade of Dan. If we don't say that we will reward him, how can we let him go to such a remote and cold place? Isn't this equivalent to punishing and exiling him? "
Immortal Yan replied unhurriedly, "Not so. This matter has caused a great uproar, and everyone knows it. You should know that the tallest tree in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. Zhang Yan seems to be doing well, but in fact, he is in the teeth of the storm. I don't know how many people have ulterior motives behind him. You should know that it is easy to dodge a spear in the open, but it is difficult to guard against an arrow in the dark. It is not easy to achieve the first grade of Dan. If he goes to the small cold world to cultivate, he can take advantage of the situation to escape. In the open, he will be demoted, but in fact, he can avoid those treacherous plots. This is my sincere love for him.
Junior Brother, don't make presumptions and misunderstand my intention. "Sun Zhenren frowned slightly.
Junior Brother, please don't make wild guesses and misunderstand my intentions. "Meng Zhen stroked his beard and said in a deep voice," What Junior Brother Yan said is somewhat reasonable. It is not an exaggeration to say that Zhang Yan is now the target of public criticism in the eyes of the aristocratic families, but it is not appropriate for him to enter the small cold world …
He cupped his hands and said, "Master, disciple thinks that we can temporarily suppress the reward. However, in three years, there will be a competition in the sect. Pass down a decree that we will only secretly bestow him a cultivation method and ask him to cultivate well in the sect. He must not be ostentatious at will. When the competition comes, if he can show his outstanding talent, then we can mention it at that time. This will also be justifiable, and we won't have to worry about the dissatisfaction of the disciples in the sect."
As soon as he said this, Immortal Zhu and Immortal Yan also nodded in agreement. Sun Zhenren also did not say anything.
Zhang Yan had achieved the first grade of Dan, so he had a chance to win the position of the top ten disciples. However, at the moment, they were thinking about how to deal with the aristocratic families in the competition. If Zhang Yan suddenly interfered, then many of the previous arrangements would have to be pushed back, and it would cause many variables.
Although these four Immortals were secretly competing, it was better to stay put than to move. Naturally, they did not want to lose their initial initiative, so they reached a rare consensus.
Especially from Sun Zhenren's point of view, Zhang Yan was a true disciple. Now that he had achieved the first grade of Dan, he was more qualified to become the top ten disciples than Ning Chong Xuan, so he had some concerns in his heart.
But now, Meng Zhen first gave him a small reward to appease him, so that he could settle down for a few years and make room for Ning Chong Xuan to win the position of the top ten disciples. This could be considered as taking into account the previous plan of the Immortals to the greatest extent.
Seeing that the four of them had reached a consensus, the Sect Leader Immortal made the final decision and said, "Then this matter will be arranged as such for the time being. Regarding Zhang Yan's reward, we will discuss it later. From today onwards, all of you will stay in your respective cave residences. Before the competition, you are not allowed to go out at will. If you violate the rules, you will be punished according to the sect rules."
The four Immortals stood up together and said, "Yes, Master."
They were also aware of the order of the Sect Leader Immortal. Now that Zhang Yan had disrupted the Pill Grading Assembly of the Xuanmen aristocratic families, although it had caused the aristocratic families to lose a lot of face, in reality, it was not the slightest bit of damage. It was not a good time to pursue and attack. They were about to restrain their swords and settle it all at once during the competition.
Freezing Zhang Yan was precisely to send a signal to the aristocratic families, which undoubtedly conflicted with them in advance.
The Sect Leader Immortal waved his hand and said, "You may leave."
The four Immortals said in unison, "Sect Leader Master, we will take our leave."
After the four of them left, a figure flashed above the main hall, and a mighty old man walked in. He said suspiciously, "Qin Mobai, what are you planning? Won't this disappoint that Zhang brat? Such a fine talent, if you don't know how to carve, I will teach you a lesson on behalf of your master. "
Qin Mobai smiled faintly and said, "Uncle Beiming, don't be angry. This child is quick-witted. He knew long ago that after this matter, he would definitely be in the limelight, so he purposely restrained himself. What I am doing is just complying with his intentions."
"Hmm?"
The mighty old man thought about it, but felt a headache coming on. He shook his head and walked out without saying a word.
On Dissolving Smoke Island, smoke and dust covered the sun. Sparks flew in the sky, and one could not even see their fingers in front of them.
In the Roaring Fire Palace, a white-robed Taoist sat upright on a cloud couch. This person had thin lips and hawk-like eyes. His gaze was sharp, and the back of his hands was as fair as a woman's. He sat there and read the flying sword in his hand. After a while, he said casually, "First grade pill? Hmm, that's quite interesting. "
Feng Zhen knelt in front of him. He lowered his body and kowtowed, saying, "Master, if that Zhang Yan doesn't succeed, he will definitely become a great threat in the future. Moreover, he harmed the lives of Junior Brother Tu and Junior Brother Wan. It is abominable. Every time I think of this, I feel grief in my heart and can't help myself. Master, you must seek justice for them."
The white-robed Taoist said indifferently, "Junior Brother Tu and Junior Brother Wan, who are they?"
Feng Zhen's heart trembled when he heard this. He knelt down with a thud and said, "This disciple deserves to die!"
Cold sweat dripped from his forehead. His master was one of the top ten disciples in the sect, so how could he not remember his disciples? The reason he said this was obviously because he saw through his intentions and wanted to warn him.
The white-robed Taoist grunted and patted his knee, saying, "You are at the first level of Core Transformation, right?"
Feng Zhen lowered his head and said, "Yes."
The white-robed Taoist waved his hand and said, "The sect's competition is at hand. If you want, you can naturally avenge Junior Brother during the competition. That will be all. You may leave."
Feng Zhen felt bitterness in his mouth. He was clearly the one who wanted to urge his master to deal with Zhang Yan, but in the end, how did it become him standing up for Wan Zhang and Tu Xuan?
But since his master had given this order, he had no choice but to obey. He accepted it helplessly and said, "I will obey Master's orders."
"Mm. Go. "
Feng Zhen kowtowed a few times, but he still didn't dare to show a bitter expression on his face. He sighed inwardly and retreated with Xia Xiaoxin.
The white-robed Taoist casually threw the letter away, and the paper turned into flying ash. He muttered to himself, "First-grade Core Formation? I'll pass the 'shell test' first before talking about other things. "
With a wave of his sleeve, he turned into a ball of fire and smoke, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
