On February 2nd, the Dragon Raises Its Head, Tong Tian Dao will build another Si Tiantai, inviting all the cultivators in the world to attend the ceremony. Since the beginning of the New Year, in just one month, this news spread throughout the Three Religions and Hundreds of Schools. Like a stone thrown into a pond, the situation in the cultivation world that had just calmed down was once again stirred up. At the same time, tall buildings rose from the ruins of the Imperial World Starry Sky and the Crack Xuan Valley, as if to remind the cultivators in the past what the greatest power in the world was. The Tang Emperor mobilized people and carried out large-scale construction. Within a month, the new Si Tiantai had already taken shape on the ruins of the Imperial World Starry Sky! Anyone with some knowledge knew the meaning behind this news. After hundreds of years, there was finally an imperial power trying to extend its hand into the Tong Tian Dao. Last year, on the 15th of July, the Buddhist and Taoist sides fought at the Luoyang River, at the foot of the Emperor. The surrounding bridges, houses, and even the Imperial Army who went to stop them were affected. Since that day, there were rumors that the angry Tang Emperor wanted to beat the cultivation world. The Taoist Temple of Qingcheng Mountain was destroyed overnight, providing the best opportunity for the imperial power to intervene. The Six Paths of Evil was a disaster, but the dispute between the Buddhist and Taoist sides was endless. It was difficult to work together, so there needed to be a sect to mediate. Therefore, the establishment of Si Tiantai went smoothly. The first thing to do after the establishment was to gather everyone's strength to discuss how to deal with the Six Paths of Evil. Of course, not all sects bought into Si Tiantai's account. For example —
"You said that when you delivered the invitation, Yue Cang Qiong was roasting venison with his disciples, admiring the snow and discussing swords. When you received the invitation, you threw it into the stove to make charcoal? " Mu Zixuan stood in the Astrology Hall of the newly established Si Tiantai Main Hall with a three foot long wooden box. He tapped the wooden box unconsciously with his fingers while listening to Ce Tianji's report. The tapping of his fingers on the box made different sounds, revealing the changes in Mu Zixuan's thoughts. The day after tomorrow was February 2nd, a long-awaited day. He needed to make sure that everything was under control.
"Yes, he also said, 'Why does the Sword Emperor need to listen to the orders of the Human Emperor?' This kind of straightforwardness is rare … "Ce Tianji said.
Mu Zixuan said with a smile, "The Spring and Autumn Sword Tower originated from the Hundred Schools of Philosophers, all of whom had been deposed, persecuted, and killed by the imperial power. Naturally, they did not have a good impression of Si Tiantai, who represented the imperial power in the secular world. But to be able to make Sword Emperor say such words, it can be seen that our messenger disciple risked his life to provoke him. Uncle Ce, please reward him for me. "
"Isn't that so? He listened to the Sect Master's orders and put on a high and mighty posture in front of the Sword Emperor, as if he was passing the Emperor's edict. In the end, when he came back, he laid in bed and became seriously ill. It can be said that it was hard on him, but at least he didn't fail his mission."
"On the surface, you're inviting him, but in the dark, you're pushing the Sword Emperor out of the door. If the Sword Emperor doesn't come, we've finally gotten rid of a variable." Mu Zixuan slapped the wooden box and made the final decision.
After reporting the matter, Ce Tianji looked at the box in Mu Zixuan's hands and asked, "What's in Sect Master's hands?"
"This, this is another variable …" Mu Zixuan shook her head and then waved her hand. The box spun and flew into Ce Tianji's hands.
"Congratulations to Brother Mu for getting what he wanted. Little Brother Hu Li presents this humble gift …" Ce Tianji slowly read the congratulatory words on the box and said in shock, "This is a gift from Hu Li! Where is he? "
"This is Tongtian Dao. How would he dare to appear so openly? The gift was just mixed in with the other gifts."
Ce Tianji then opened the box and wanted to see what Hu Li had given. However, it was empty. "Where's the gift? Why is there nothing? "
"Didn't he send the big gift a long time ago? And this gift is so hard to receive … "Mu Zixuan sighed.
Ce Tianji said with a bitter face, "Sect Master, don't beat around the bush. Just say it."
Mu Zixuan smiled and said, "Ever since we started sending invitations to all the sects, another piece of news has been spreading. Now, there is a rumor in Jianghu — Hu Bugui died because of my scheme."
"Wasn't this news released by Sect Master?"
"Look, this is the perfect timing. Not to mention you, sometimes even I suspect that I was the one who released the news. Unfortunately, it really wasn't me!"
"Not Sect Master …" Ce Tianji was shocked and shouted, "Then it's Hu Li!"
"Other than him, I can't think of anyone else who could pull out his uncle who died two years ago and make use of it. This is really like his style." Mu Zixuan smiled and said, "He knows that I am seeking fame right now, so he used this big gift to lure me. Hu Bugui is a great enemy of the righteous. Back then, countless people died because of his schemes. If I admit that I killed Hu Bugui, then my reputation will increase greatly and it will help me win over the cultivators. On the contrary, if I deny it, everyone will think that I am deliberately mystifying the news to raise my own status. I will be despised by everyone and my plan will be damaged. "
Ce Tianji was enlightened and continued, "But if Sect Master admits it, it will give Beilong Tian a reason to make a fuss. There will be a lot of trouble in the future! One side is honey mixed with poison, the other side is poison mixed with honey. No matter which side you choose, it won't be easy to swallow. "
Mu Zixuan said, "Not only that, if I admit it, there will be a variable coming from the west!"
"Variable?" Ce Tianji thought for a while and then understood, "So, Sect Master is going to deny it?"
"How can I reject someone who sent me a gift?" His gaze turned cold and he turned around. Looking at the vast world outside the hall, he said, "They think that I don't dare to accept it. My appetite is much bigger than what they expected. Even if they give me the whole world, I will still eat it!"
"I am relieved that Sect Master has such ambition. Now that everything is ready and time is almost up, we are just waiting for Sect Master to show off his skills."
"Then, I will have to trouble Sect Master to take care of the other matters. It is time for me to move!" Mu Zixuan smiled and walked outside. When she reached the front of the hall, she suddenly stopped and pointed at the plaque above her head, "Sigh, it is a pity that this Si Tiantai plaque is still a bit of an eyesore. Sect Master Ce, I promised you to rebuild the Imperial Starry Sky. Now, in order to take advantage of the situation, I have to continue using the name Si Tiantai. If I want to change this plaque, I am afraid it will take a few more years … "
"It is okay. We, the survivors of the Imperial Starry Sky, have a place to go. It is not important whether the name is Si Tiantai or the Imperial Starry Sky. Plus … "Ce Tianji bowed down and his face showed unprecedented firmness." You are Prince Ziwei who wants to sweep the world. How can you be limited by a name? When Ziwei Starry Sky shines on the world, the world will belong to you. Then, what is the difference between Si Tiantai and the Imperial Starry Sky? "
"Ha, then I will borrow Sect Master's good words!" Mu Zixuan chuckled and strode over the door. She took the most important step for Ziwei to shine the world!
