On Mount Emei in the land of Sichuan, more than ten Buddhas, Daoists, and Itinerant Immortals were silent in the Golden Roof Hall. A heavy atmosphere filled the hall.
"Fellow Daoists, what do you think?" After a moment, Qi Shuming, who was the leader and host of Mount Emei, asked.
"Although it's only for a moment, the other party should be a Divine Immortal." On the right side of the hall, a middle-aged old man wearing a light-colored Daoist robe with the pattern of Tai Chi Eight Trigrams on the sleeves said with a calm expression.
"Are you sure, Daoist Brother Yi?" A short, white-haired, and old Daoist dressed in a dark robe who was also sitting on the right side of the row chair hurriedly asked.
"I'm quite accomplished in divination, so I shouldn't be wrong." The middle-aged man glanced at the person who spoke and said lightly.
This person's surname was Yi, and his full name was Yi Zhou. He was born in the South Sea and was the Hall Master of the Black Turtle Hall in the South Sea. He had the cultivation of a Divine Immortal, but because he didn't have enough cultivation points, he couldn't ascend to heaven. Because he still had some concerns in the world, he got involved with Mount Emei with the idea of seeking happiness for his descendants.
He was proficient in shipbuilding and innate divination. Especially in the aspect of innate divination, even in the original work, he was praised by Lord Huanzhu. It could be said that he was one of the best in divination in the whole of Mount Shu. This time, he was invited by Mount Emei to come here and work together to divine the variables of the Heavenly Design.
"What Daoist Brother Yi Zhou said should be right." An old woman dressed like a nun closed her eyes and gently twirled prayer beads with her fingers.
"The other party only has the cultivation of a Divine Immortal, but we can't divine it clearly even if we work together. In the end, we even suffered a backlash from the Heavenly Design. I think the other party should have a treasure that can block the Heavenly Design. " An old monk wearing a plain yellow robe and hanging a string of 108 Arhat Rosary Beads on his neck said.
As soon as he said that, the hall that had just become a little lively became silent again. Everyone who was sitting frowned.
"I guess this kind of treasure shouldn't be effective all the time. It should be activated by the owner. So let's take a break first. After two hours, we will work together again. We should be able to catch the other party. "The monk who spoke earlier said again.
"Good." The others thought for a while. They also felt that it was reasonable and agreed in unison.
After that, no one said anything else. They closed their eyes and silently circulated their Primordial Spirits. He entered the state of meditation.
For a moment. The entire hall became quiet. There was not even the slightest sound of breathing.
Amidst this tranquility, two hours passed in the blink of an eye.
When Fang Yi arrived, he didn't need anyone to remind him. Everyone, who had been in a trance, comprehending the Dao, praying to Buddha, and meditating, came back to their senses.
"Fellow Daoists, are you ready?" Qi Shuming asked from the main seat.
Everyone nodded slightly in response.
"Then let's begin." Qi Shuming said in a low voice.
As soon as he finished speaking, golden, silver, and green Buddhist lights immediately bloomed from the bodies of the Buddhas, Daoists, and Itinerant Immortals present. They intertwined with each other, forming a vast light curtain that enveloped the entire hall.
At the same time, an extremely strong pressure spread out, turning the entire Emei Golden Peak into a forbidden area where birds and beasts were extinct.
But this time, this situation didn't last for long. In just a dozen seconds, there was a muffled groan in the hall. The light curtain instantly shattered, revealing the figures of the Buddhas, Daoists, and Itinerant Immortals with their eyebrows slightly furrowed.
"We've miscalculated." One of them sighed.
"We've indeed miscalculated." The monk who spoke earlier chanted the name of Buddha in a low voice and continued.
Then, some of the Itinerant Immortals in the hall dressed as Daoists all looked at Qi Shuming who was sitting on the main seat, wanting to see his decision.
"Let's end it here for today. Five days later, we'll calculate again to determine the real culprit. What do you think?" Qi Shuming slowly opened her closed eyes. Her gaze swept across everyone present as she spoke.
"Okay."
"Okay."
Everyone in the hall agreed one after another.
"Men." Qi Shuming, who received the answer, called out loudly.
"Sect Master." A disciple quickly ran into the hall and bowed with cupped fists.
"Take the masters and Daoists to rest." Qi Shuming said.
"Yes." The disciple accepted the order.
"In that case, we'll take our leave first." In the hall, the Buddhists dressed as monks and nuns and several Itinerant Immortals dressed as Daoists stood up and said. Then, they turned around and left the hall with the Emei disciples who led the way.
In a short while, only the Emei Sect's own people, such as Xuanzhenzi, Ku Toutuo, the Miaoyi couple, Master Cloudeater and others, as well as Yi Zhou from the Black Tortoise Palace of the South Sea, the short old man Zhu Mei from the Qingcheng Sect, and the old man Bai Guyi from the Cloud Chasing Sect were left in the hall.
"Everyone …"
In the main hall, several people began to discuss the grand plan regarding Emei.
…
Five days later, in the same Emei Golden Summit Hall, the Buddhists, Daoists, and Itinerant Immortals gathered in the hall again and sat down in the same seats as last time.
"I hope we can find the real culprit this time." Qi Shuming sighed softly.
"We can definitely do it." Miaoyi's wife, Xun Lanyin, comforted her husband.
"Everyone, let's begin." Qi Shuming turned to her wife and smiled gently. Then, she turned her head to look at the people in the hall and raised her voice.
After saying that, the people did not hesitate. Once again, they operated the Great Secret Art and worked together to calculate the Heavenly Mystery.
For a moment, a bright light curtain rose from the hall and shrouded everyone in it. The hall was illuminated in gold and jade, as if it was a wonderful immortal residence or a whirling world. It was beautiful and fantastical.
However, the result this time was the same as last time. After only ten seconds, a muffled groan suddenly sounded from the hall, breaking the atmosphere and shattering the light curtain. The figures of the Buddhists and Daoists reappeared.
At this time, whether it was the eminent monks of Buddhism or the Itinerant Immortals of Daoism, they all frowned. Their faces revealed a dignified expression.
"I didn't expect the opponent to be so difficult to deal with." Qi Shuming's eyes flashed with a cold light as she said in a deep voice.
"What are you going to do, Fellow Daoist?" The Itinerant Immortal, Cloud Chasing Old Man Bai Guyi, who was wearing a white robe and had a much smaller stature than the average person, asked solemnly.
Hearing Bai Guyi's inquiry, the few people dressed in Daoist attire all looked at Qi Shuming.
"Divine Nun, Great Master, can I ask you to help me calculate again?" After a moment of silence, Qi Shuming, who did not answer Bai Guyi's question, turned her head to look at the Buddhists and asked.
"Master Qi, are you still not giving up?" The old woman dressed in a gray nun attire stopped spinning the beads in her hand and asked faintly.
"Divine Nun, you've misunderstood. This time, I'm not calculating that person. I'm calculating the whereabouts of another person who is crucial to Emei." Qi Shuming shook her head slightly and said softly.
Clearly, the person she wanted to calculate was the main character of the calamity, Li Yingqiong, who had yet to be found. Initially, Qi Shuming did not intend to let anyone other than Emei know about this matter. However, after many attempts by the people of Emei, they still could not find the whereabouts of Li Ning and Li Yingqiong. In addition, now that there was an enemy who wanted to ruin the prosperity of Emei, they could not care less about hiding it. They wanted to take this opportunity to find Li Yingqiong's whereabouts.
After all, the Three Valiant and Two Clouds had said that the master of Zi Ying would not be able to complete the cycle without the heavenly mandate.
"Oh?" The divine nun looked at Qi Shuming in surprise.
"Please assist me, Divine Nun," Qi Shuming gently said.
The divine nun looked away and nodded slightly, agreeing to her request.
"Please assist me, Fellow Daoists," Qi Shuming turned her head to the others and said.
Obviously, the others did not turn down her request.
Afterwards, Qi Shuming closed her eyes and focused. She circulated her profound technique and calculated Li Yingqiong's whereabouts. The others did not hesitate when they saw this. They all circulated their profound techniques and shone with bright light. They intertwined with the light around Qi Shuming to assist her in her divination.
Ten seconds later, Qi Shuming let out a muffled groan.
"Junior brother?" Xuanzhenzi gently called out.
"It's that person," Qi Shuming said with a heavy voice with a slightly pale face.
"Senior brother, are you saying that the person responsible for the calamity is in that person's hands?" Ku Toutuo's face became even more bitter as he asked.
Qi Shuming nodded slightly, confirming Ku Toutuo's words.
"This …" Xun Lanyin's expression changed when she heard that.
"A great enemy," Qi Shuming coldly said.
The other people of Emei all nodded in agreement with sunken faces.
"Fellow Bai, fellow Daoists, it looks like we'll have to move forward," Qi Shuming sucked in a deep breath and raised her head to look at the people in the hall. She said sternly.
Apart from the Buddhists, all the other Daoists' expressions changed when they heard that. Their hearts began to thump.
"What about Ciyun Temple?" Bai Guyi asked.
His usual hiding place was in Chengdu, which was not far from Ciyun Temple. In addition, as a hardcore supporter of Emei, he was fully aware of Emei's purpose in keeping the demons of Ciyun Temple alive. That was why he asked.
"Let Junior Brother Zui move around," Xuanzhenzi replied.
After that, the people in the hall had a simple exchange of opinions, as well as various problems that might arise if they changed their course of action. Then, they politely sent everyone away from Emei and gave the disciples the task of going out to search for opportunities and practice.
For a time, a large number of Emei disciples received their master's orders and went down the mountain with their friends to begin their practice.
The world of Shu Mountain began to operate … although it was a world of Shu Mountain without Li Yingqiong.
More than half a month later.
"Phew … I've finally derived it." Sei Itō, who was sitting in his home in the center of the Rubik's Cube world, exhaled a long breath of turbid air, opened his eyes, and said softly. Then, his figure flashed and disappeared from the room.
In the next moment, Sei Itō appeared in the mountains of the eastern forest.
