Spiritual Master Zi Que's eyes narrowed when he saw him.
This young Taoist priest was the one who once visited their Xuanming Temple and guided him in his cultivation.
Slowly, Spiritual Master Zi Que stood up and said, "Brother Ancient Wood, long time no see."
The other party was much younger than him, but there was no seniority in learning. Therefore, Spiritual Master Zi Que still called him "Brother".
Spiritual Master Ancient Wood came to him. "Long time no see."
Spiritual Master Zi Que looked at Spiritual Master Tianlu.
The other party smiled. "To be honest, I have already contacted Brother Ancient Wood."
Spiritual Master Zi Que nodded. "It's great that Brother Ancient Wood can come back."
"I can only help you if you want to improve yourselves." The young Taoist priest said indifferently, "Rotten wood can't be carved."
After the three sat down, Spiritual Master Zi Que asked, "Brother, what do you think of Chang 'an?"
The young Taoist priest said, "Ambitious people. The Eastern Tang is just their starting point. Next, they will definitely reach out to other places in the Eastern Border."
Both Spiritual Master Zi Que and Spiritual Master Tianlu looked serious.
The young Taoist priest continued, "In addition, there is a reincarnated Pure Yang Immortal Soul in Chang 'an."
The two people in front of him narrowed their eyes.
The young Taoist priest nodded slightly and continued, "Green Cloud Temple had a conflict with Chang 'an because of this and suffered a disaster."
Both Spiritual Master Zi Que and Spiritual Master Tianlu were secretly alert.
"Chang 'an took advantage of you when you were traveling overseas to explore the Immortal Mansion ruins."
Spiritual Master Tianlu said, "Now that you have returned to the Eastern Border, I believe you will not let them continue to succeed."
Spiritual Master Ancient Wood said, "This Chang 'an is still too mysterious. I don't know the details inside. I will observe first and then make a decision."
He glanced at the two people in front of him. "If they are strong, I will not force them. I will contact my sect as soon as possible."
When Reverend Zi Que and Reverend Tian Lu heard this, they relaxed slightly. "Daoist brother, you're right."
"Fellow Daoists, you might as well help me collect more information about Chang 'an."
With that, Daoist Master Ancient Wood took his leave. "I will take my leave first."
Reverend Zi Que and Reverend Ancient Wood sent him off.
Watching him leave, Immortal Zi Que, the master of the Xuanming Temple, said, "He seems to have guessed the origin of Chang 'an."
"Maybe he came from the same place as him." Reverend Tianlu seemed to be talking to himself.
Reverend Zi Que nodded silently.
He exhaled a mouthful of turbid air and bid farewell to Daoist Master Tianlu, "I will also take my leave. Take care, fellow daoist."
"Take care, fellow daoist." Daoist Tian Lu watched him leave. He did not immediately return to his own palace. Instead, he looked into the distance and did not speak for a long time.
After the young Daoist named Gu Mu left the Three Stars Palace and the Eastern Jin Dynasty, he quickly arrived at the Southern Chen Dynasty to the south of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
He stepped on a purple cloud and flew at an altitude of tens of thousands of miles. The people on the ground could not detect him at all.
The purple cloud continued south, finally stopping in the air above a mountain range in the southwest of the Southern Chen Dynasty.
Then, the young Daoist appeared on the main peak of the mountain range.
There were no Dao Palaces or temples to be seen here.
There were only a few simple thatched huts at the top of the mountain.
However, they were filled with the essence of nature.
This was also a famous Daoist holy land. It was famous in the Southern Chen Dynasty.
There were even many people in the territories of the other dynasties outside of Southern Chen who had heard of the Jade Embracing Mountain.
Unlike the Green Cloud Temple, Fuzhen Guan, Three Stars Palace, Chuan Zhen Guan, Jade Spring Peak, and other famous Daoist sects that accepted disciples, there were only a few people in the Jade Mountain.
However, the disciples of the Jade Mountain were all talented and extraordinary.
Any one of them was an outstanding Daoist expert and attracted the attention of everyone.
The young Daoist landed on the top of the mountain and looked around.
A middle-aged man walked out from one of the thatched huts.
The man wore a crude Daoist robe, but he had a sage-like demeanor.
"So it's fellow Daoist Gu Mu. Long time no see. How have you been?" The middle-aged man in the Daoist robe bowed first.
The Daoist Gu Mu nodded slightly, "I travel around. There's nothing wrong with that. However, I just received news about the Eastern Tang Green Cloud Temple and the Eastern Jin Three Stars Palace not long ago. I know that there's trouble in the eastern border, so I came back to take a look."
He glanced at the middle-aged man, "It's been a few years since we last met. Fellow Daoist Ge's cultivation is getting purer by the day. Congratulations."
The middle-aged man in the coarse Daoist robe was the current leader of the Jade Mountain, Ge Xin.
"It's all thanks to Fellow Daoist's guidance that my cultivation base has improved slightly. I've embarrassed myself in front of you."
Ge Xin first thanked Daoist Master Ancient Wood and then continued, "This poor Daoist has also heard about the matters of the Eastern Tang Dynasty, but this poor Daoist doesn't care who the ruler of the secular world is.
If they really treat the people well, then it's not a bad thing for the lord of Chang 'an to replace the Eastern Tang and Southern Chen.
I don't want to interfere with the affairs of the mortal world. Every day, I just teach the disciples to cultivate and comprehend Dao. Then, I help you find some Pure Yang relics. That's enough. "
"Now it seems that Chang 'an is also aiming for the Pure Yang relics." The Daoist Gu Mu said.
Ge Xin frowned slightly, "Why is that?"
"I don't have an answer right now."
The Daoist Gu Mu shook his head slightly, "As for treating the people well, there's never been a wise ruler since ancient times.
When power is concentrated in the hands of one person, the final result will always be a lone wolf.
Even if he's wise for a moment, as time goes by, he'll be obsessed with personal enjoyment and indulgence. "
Ge Xin was silent for a long time. Finally, he sighed, "We cultivators want to be still, but the wind won't stop."
"The current understanding of Chang 'an is still too little. It's not appropriate to make a conclusion too early. However, we need to pay more attention." The Daoist Gu Mu said.
Ge Xin cupped his fists and said, "Dao Brother is right."
The Daoist Gu Mu nodded, "I'll leave first. Take care."
After bidding farewell to Ge Xin, he left Jade Embracing Mountain and headed southwest.
The purple cloud left Nanchen's territory and flew into Nanliang Dynasty's territory.
However, the purple cloud didn't stop. Instead, it continued south until it left Nanliang.
In front of the young Daoist was a vast expanse of blue waves again.
After leaving Nanliang Dynasty's territory, south was also the sea.
After the purple cloud flew over the sea for about three to four hundred miles, an island appeared in front of it.
The sea around the island was calm. The surface of the sea was as flat as a mirror, like a completely still pool of water.
The purple cloud arrived above the island and landed.
The island was covered with bamboo forests. There were some houses and pavilions in the bamboo forests.
An old Daoist in a pure white Daoist robe walked out of one of the pavilions.
The old Daoist stepped on the white cloud and flew into the air to welcome the Daoist Gu Mu, "Daoist brother, your presence brings light to Tianyi Sect."
This place seemed unremarkable, but it was actually the Tianyi Sect's headquarters.
The sect was located above the South Sea, and its believers were all over the South Sea islands and along the northern coast. It was within Nanliang Dynasty's territory and was the leader of the Daoist sect.
In the South Sea, they could even be regarded as the de facto overlord and king.
On the northern coast, Nanliang Dynasty still had a certain amount of power.
But as long as they went to sea, it was completely the world of Tianyi Sect, only nominally serving Nanliang Dynasty.
Before the fishermen on the sea sailed, they all prayed to the legendary Tianyi Sect.
The Sect Master of Tianyi Sect, Daoist Konghai, was an immortal figure worshipped by thousands of people in the South Sea.
However, Daoist Konghai was respectful in front of the young Daoist who was stepping on the purple cloud.
A few years ago, Nanliang Dynasty was still continuously suppressing Tianyi Sect.
It was because of the guidance and explanation of the young Daoist in front of him that the former Daoist Konghai broke through the realm and became a Daoist Master. Thus, he completely stood firm in the South Sea, making Nanliang Dynasty helpless.
Although he hadn't seen the Tianyi Sect for several years, Daoist Konghai still didn't dare to neglect this young Daoist.
"Long time no see."
Daoist Gu Mu nodded slightly.
Daoist Konghai invited the other party to his bamboo house.
After entertaining the other party with tea, he took out a jade pendant and handed it to the young Daoist in front of him.
Daoist Gu Mu took the jade pendant. As soon as it was in his hand, the jade pendant flashed slightly.
The light was warm, like the rising sun.
"It is indeed the magic tool of Pure Yang Palace in the past." Daoist Gu Mu nodded.
Daoist Konghai smiled: "It's good that Daoist brother likes it."
Daoist Gu Mu took out a small bottle from his sleeve and placed it in front of the other party.
"Thank you, Daoist brother." Daoist Konghai took the small bottle and opened it.
Suddenly, a stream of water automatically floated up from it, and then condensed into a fist-sized water ball in mid-air.
The surface of the water ball kept floating. Daoist Konghai saw it and his eyes showed admiration: "Tianyi Birth Water, this is the real Tianyi Birth Water."
He put the water ball back into the small bottle and thanked Daoist Gu Mu again.
"I only have so much with me. Daoist brother, please bear with it for a while." Daoist Gu Mu said.
Daoist Konghai heard this and his heart moved slightly: "Daoist brother is too polite. I will instruct the disciples to pay attention to more pure Yang relics to report brother's generous gift."
The young Daoist nodded slightly: "The Eastern Tang Green Cloud Temple was discovered, but unfortunately it was robbed by others."
Daoist Konghai nodded: "Is it that Chang 'an City? I have heard of it, but I don't know much about it. "
"During this time, you might as well pay attention."
The young Daoist stood up and said goodbye: "Although the Southern Sea is far, it is far from the other party's ambition."
After he finished speaking, he left. Daoist Konghai's expression was dignified.
The purple cloud left the headquarters of Tianyi Sect and went all the way northwest.
His next destination was the territory of the Western Chu Dynasty.
At the same time, in the Daming Palace, Zhang Dongyun was sitting opposite Shen Herong and Ao Kong.
"Northern Qi's Xuanming Temple, Eastern Jin's Three Stars Palace, Southern Liang's Tianyi Sect, Western Chu's Zicheng Mountain, and Western Zhou's Liyang Temple."
Shen Herong, who was in charge of the Idle Sky Hall as Mr. He, said: "These Daoist sects are similar to the Green Cloud Temple here. In recent years, their strength has improved. It is very likely that Ying Xiao secretly supported them to help him search for pure Yang relics.
There is no definite news from the Southern Chen Dynasty. It seems that there are no Daoist sects that suddenly rose up in recent years.
However, there is a Jade Embracing Mountain there. It has always been low-key, so it is hard to tell whether it was influenced by Ying Xiao or not. "
