PS: There will be more at night.
Three hundred years ago, Shen Baishuang, who was already in the third stage of Yuanying, was ordered by his master to go to Dongsheng Continent to avoid internal strife.
When he arrived at Shenwu Mountain, he saw that it was a spirit vein. The mountain was majestic, and because it was located in the extreme north of Dongsheng Continent, it was not under the control of the five major sects. He expelled an evil sect and temporarily settled here. He built a cave and named it "Hanyuan".
After taking in disciples and passing on his skills for dozens of years, he went out to travel again and never returned since then.
Two hundred years passed in the blink of an eye. The flowers and trees in the courtyard were not as colorful as they used to be. The ground was covered with fallen leaves.
Inside the cave, on a flat green stone, sat a middle-aged Taoist with a kind face and big ears. In front of him stood a young cultivator who looked to be in his twenties.
The middle-aged Taoist sighed and said, "Junior Brother Gao, no one in the sect can compare to you in terms of aptitude. It won't be long before you form your Dan, but for the sake of the sect's grand plan, I have no choice but to delay you for a few years. Do you blame me?"
The young cultivator said seriously, "Senior Brother Sect Leader, please don't say that. I, Gao Zhongyuan, am fortunate enough to be guided by Senior Brother Sect Leader to enter the sect. There is no way for me to repay your kindness. Why should I blame you?"
The middle-aged Taoist felt guilty and gratified. He sighed and said, "It's rare. Junior Brother, please go back first. I will give you an explanation."
The young cultivator bowed and retreated.
The middle-aged Taoist stood up and paced back and forth in the cave. He frowned and sighed from time to time, as if he was thinking about a difficult matter.
After a long time, his eyes gradually revealed a sense of determination.
At this time, a handsome cultivator with bright eyebrows and bright eyes rushed in. He shouted from ten feet away, "The disciples of Mount E are getting more and more arrogant. They dare to wander in front of our sect. Senior Brother, we can't let this go on for long. You have to think of a plan."
The middle-aged Taoist looked at him and said in a deep voice, "Junior Brother Wen, you came at the right time. I was looking for you about this matter."
When the handsome cultivator heard this, he immediately became spirited. He sat down excitedly. "Senior Brother, have you made up your mind to fight against Mount E? I have already said that if you take a step back, you advance ten. We might as well fight it out. Life and death are up to fate. "
The middle-aged Taoist shook his head. He said, "I was thinking about something. Did he agree to the request of the Emshan Sect and give up this Immortal's Cave on Cang Zhu Peak? "
"What?"
Junior Brother Wen was stunned, then he stood up. He pointed at Taoist Chu and said furiously, "Chu Muran, what nonsense are you spouting? How can Master's foundation be ruined in our hands? "
Taoist Chu looked at him with a calm expression and said, "Junior brother, sit down and listen to what I have to say."
Junior Brother Wen glared at him for a while before sitting down heavily.
Chu Taoist priest considered his words for a moment, then slowly said, "Shidi, if En Shifu, the Senior, is still here, no one would dare to bully our Han Yuan Cave. But En Shifu has been gone for more than two hundred years. Let's not talk about Mount E Pai, just look at the dozens of sects on this Shen Wu Mountain, which one of them does not covet my Immortal's Cave?"
There were many underground spirit veins in the Cave of the Hidden Abyss. It was considered the best cave in the Mountain World of the Divine House. When Shen Baishuang was here, because he was a level-three Nascent Soul cultivator, no one dared to have any ideas about him. But ever since he left, the sects around Cang Zhu Peak started to have their own ideas. If it weren't for the fact that they didn't know when Shen Baishuang would return, they wouldn't dare to be too brazen and would have long since attacked him.
Junior Brother Wen said in a muffled voice, "Even so, we can't just give up the cave."
Taoist Chu sighed, "I didn't want to at first, but my master has been gone for a long time and hasn't returned. Junior Brother, you know about the situation these years. Not to mention you and me, the younger generation of disciples can't cultivate. If the orthodoxy is broken, wouldn't we become the sinners of the sect?"
Junior Brother Wen punched the stone table and said with hatred, "If it was not for Mount E, how could this happen?"
If a sect wanted to continue, it had to recruit disciples and teach them Xuan skills. This way, if the seniors of the sect passed away, they could reincarnate into the sect.
But Hanyuan had not had a disciple enter the sect for thirty years.
It was not that they did not want to accept disciples, but every time they were stopped by the sects outside the mountain led by the Mount Emei Sect. They were the first to pick those with outstanding aptitudes. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that they were slowly destroying their foundation. Even if they were unwilling to give up the abode of the Immortal's Cave, they could still achieve their goal once the lineage of Hanyuan was completely wiped out.
Taoist Chu was originally very strong-willed, but the foundation of the Han Yuan Sect was shallow. After fighting against them for two hundred years, the situation was getting worse and worse, and there was no sign of Shen Baishuang turning around, so he also lost confidence.
The cave was silent. After a while, Junior Brother Wen said unwillingly, "Let's wait for Junior Brother Zhao to come back."
Chu Daoist smiled bitterly and said, "What Junior Brother Zhao has brought with him is the last ten thousand spirit shells of our sect. Even if everything goes smoothly this time, the items we bring back will at most be enough for our thirty or so disciples to use for a year and a half. What should we do after that? "
Junior Brother Wen said, "We can drag it out for as long as we can. Who knows, Master might return to the sect by then?"
Chu Daoist shook his head and said, "If you are not willing, I have another way."
Junior Brother Wen said anxiously, "Senior Brother, at this point, why are you still hiding it? Hurry up and say it."
Chu Daoist said slowly, "Among us brothers, Junior Brother Gao has the best aptitude. Those spirit shells were originally meant to be used as external medicine for him to condense his dan. But this time, we have let him down. Luckily, he has no complaints. But we cannot delay him like this. I want to lend him the magical weapons that Master has given to us and order him to go out and search for opportunities. If he is able to break through to the state of Yuanying before our lives end, then we will not have to fear those people from Mount E."
Junior Brother Wen's expression suddenly turned ugly. He then laughed coldly and said, "You recognize him as your Junior Brother, but I do not. If anyone is to go, it should be one of us three brothers. Who does he think he is? Is he worthy to be mentioned in the same breath as us? I will not lend him my magical weapons. "
Gao Zhongyuan was not a disciple of Shen Baishuang. He was born in a declining family of cultivators. Because he accidentally received a meridian opening technique from Shen Baishuang, he came to the mountain sixty years ago to be apprenticed to Master Chu. Therefore, he was regarded as a brother by Chu Daoist. Because he did not enter the sect through proper means, he thought that Daoist Wen did not like him.
Chu Daoist knew that this would be the result and did not continue to persuade him. He looked down and said, "Then the only way is to move the sect to avoid disaster."
Junior Brother Wen's tone was extremely cold. "If you give up the abode, how are you going to explain to Master when he returns?"
Taoist Chu sat up straight and said in a serious tone, "If Master returns, he will have his ways to take back the mountain gate. But if Master doesn't return, the disciples will lose their Dao and no one will inherit the orthodoxy. Then we will both be sinners!"
Junior Brother Wen said angrily, "The sect is the foundation of the sect. Even if all my disciples die, I will not hand it over to someone else."
Chu Taoist also knew that it was impossible to persuade him immediately, he suddenly showed a tired look, waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright, Shidi you don't have to argue with me, go back and think about it carefully, we'll discuss it another day."
Junior Brother Wen stood up and walked two steps away. Suddenly, he stopped and turned back, "Senior Brother, if you do anything behind my back, I will not agree to it."
After saying that, he left with heavy footsteps.
Chu Daoist let out a long sigh. At this moment, he suddenly saw a child poking his head in front of the entrance of the abode. He asked unhappily, "What is it?"
The child said, "Grand Master, there is a letter from Elder Zhao."
Chu Daoist's face lit up and said, "Give it to me quickly."
He had previously sent Junior Brother Zhao Ge out to buy external items for cultivation. Calculating the time, it was about time for him to return.
After hurriedly taking the letter, he waved his hand and the child left.
Chu Daoist took a deep breath and opened the letter. His face changed and his hands started to tremble. He said with a trembling voice, "How could this be? How could this be? Who would do such an evil thing? "
Zhao Ge's letter did not bring good news. He mentioned that he had bought a lot of pills and xuan seeds in the celestial city of Chu. It was supposed to be a smooth journey, but on his way back, he was attacked. Now, he was seriously injured and was recuperating in a secluded place. He could not return for a while.
Chu Daoist immediately suspected that it was the work of the Mount E sect. He was thinking about how to get Zhao Ge back when he heard someone calling out to him outside the cave. He forced himself to pull himself together and said, "What happened outside?"
A young disciple outside the door said, "Master, there are two female cultivators outside the sect who came to visit. They said they want to see the sect master."
Chu Daoist was puzzled. When Shen Baishuang was here, there were many cultivators who came to visit him. But after he left, such a situation rarely happened. He asked in a deep voice, "What is the cultivation level of those two? Can you tell where they came from?"
The disciple said, "Those two female cultivators are riding on light. Looking at their clothes, they don't look like they are from the Shenwu Mountain world."
Chu Daoist's heart skipped a beat. He pondered for a while and said, "Call your Eldest Shixiong to greet them and find out more about them."
Outside the mountain gate, the Wang sisters stood side by side. Because they were both beautiful and had the same appearance, they attracted the attention of the disciples guarding the gate.
Wang Caiwei looked at the surrounding scenery and praised, "Sister, look. Even though the cave that Zhenren Shen chose is a bit desolate, it is rich in spiritual energy. It can be considered a blessed land."
Wang Caiting pouted and said, "Compared to the Zhao You Heavenly Lake, it is still lacking."
Wang Caiwei smiled and said, "The Zhao You Heavenly Lake was originally a place for people to cultivate. Back then, Master broke the formation alone and made a great contribution. That was why he was given this cave. This cave cannot be compared. For a place like the Dongsheng Continent, I am afraid you can only look for it in the mountain gate of the five major sects. Don't be greedy."
As the two of them were talking, they saw the formation of the mountain gate slowly open. A handsome Daoist came out riding on light. His gaze stopped on the two girls for a while. He came up and said, "I am Lin Xuanchao, the eldest disciple of the Hanyuan sect. May I know which Daoist friend is here? Why do you want to see my Master? "
The Wang sisters looked at each other and smiled. Wang Caiting took the initiative and went forward. She bowed and said, "So it is Senior Apprentice-Brother Lin. My daughter is Wang Caiting and this is my sister, Wang Caiwei. Today, we are here under the request of Zhenren Shen from your sect."
