In the void, six rays of starlight extended from the distant darkness and finally gathered together to form a large glaze-like platform. Countless petals floated down from above.
Sect Leader Hui's figure appeared here first. Not long after his appearance, four Taoist figures appeared one after another.
Among the Six Sects beyond the Heavens, the five sect leaders' figures had all arrived. Only the platform representing Chang Sheng Sect was still missing.
The sect leaders were already used to this.
If Chang Sheng Sect's sect leader participated in the meeting, if he said that what he said was deduced and they only needed to act according to it, would the other sect leaders obey or not? If they obeyed, they only needed to listen to everything he said. If they didn't, it seemed inappropriate.
Therefore, this Chang Sheng Sect's sect leader took the initiative to speak less. This was good for both himself and others, and the others wouldn't disturb him.
Shen He Sect's sect leader, Taoist Quan, said, "Sect Leader Hui said that he has something important to discuss. Your sect's Taoist friend Yu is the envoy in Yang Capital. Is there anything unusual there?"
Sect Leader Hui said, "It's not about Yang Capital, but it's related to this." He told the whole story to everyone, but everyone was confused. They looked at each other, and Sect Leader Shi of Su Ming Sect said, "Ancestral Stone? What's that? "
Sect Leader Hui said, "I asked around, and only then did I find out that this is what the Boundless Race called it. It originated from a fall of stars four hundred years ago. These Star Stones fell onto the surface of the earth more than a hundred years later, and were later taken by the Boundless Race as divine objects. Because most of us had already been forced to leave the Outer World at that time, the Boundless Race believed that these were bestowed by our ancestors, and that they had the ability to stabilize fate."
Sect Leader Ming of Form Sect said with disdain, "Ridiculous. It's just that the Hao Clan's emperor is a fool. " He looked to the side and said, "I remember that the Star Stones came from Su Ming Sect's territory. Sect Leader Shi should know about this, right?"
Sect Leader Shi muttered, "Now that Sect Leader Hui mentioned it, I do remember. There was indeed such a thing. We don't know where these Star Stones came from. At that time, the previous Sect Leader suspected that this unforeseen event was related to the two Lost Stars. Therefore, he chose to take some of those Star Stones and hid them away. However, later on, he couldn't find anything. Therefore, he just left them there.
"Lost Star?"
These words immediately attracted the attention of the few Sect Masters present. Sect Master Ming of Form Preservation Sect asked, "Could it be a fragment of the Lost Star? If that's the case, we can't give it away so easily. "
Sect Leader Shi shook his head and said, "We can't be sure about this."
Sect Leader Gu of the Golden God Sect said, "I'm a little interested. Why is Master Tao so sure that we have this item in our hands? And with such certainty? "
Sect Leader Hui said disapprovingly, "Perhaps the fellow daoists of the Everlasting Life Sect told him. Previously, wasn't the Everlasting Life Sect close to many Celestial Beings?"
When he saw that the crowd still wanted to say something, he couldn't help but feel a little impatient. He took out the Dao book from his sleeve and threw it to the crowd. He said, "Sect Leaders, if you have anything to say, please read this book first before you speak."
Hearing his words, the four Sect Leaders kept their mouths shut. They all looked at it. The Daoist book swayed for a moment and turned into four shadows that landed in front of them. They began to flip through it.
Towards this book, at the beginning, they only looked at it with a scrutinizing gaze. However, as they looked at it more closely, each of their expressions revealed a Solemnly expression.
Sect Leader Quan of the Joined Sect let out a sigh and said, "Were these all written by that Master Tao? No matter what this person's goal is, just based on this person's understanding of the method, a few mere stones are completely incomparable. "
The other three Sect Leaders also expressed their approval. They were all knowledgeable and understood how important this book was to them.
All these years, the various sects didn't just sit there and not make any moves. They were also trying their best to find a way to break through and advance. Now that they read the description in this Daoist book, in addition to their own understanding, some of the problems in the past were instantly solved. If they went back and continued to study it, they could solve even more problems now.
Moreover, there weren't many things recorded in this Daoist book. The other party must have more that he didn't take out.
The search for the Lost Star was to solve the problem of the change in the Daoist mechanism. However, if they could still find a suitable way to advance after the Daoist mechanism changed, then finding the Lost Star wouldn't be that important anymore. After all, the thing in front of them was the most practical.
At this moment, Sect Leader Ming said, "It's really a pity. If this person had appeared hundreds of years ago, no, even if it was just a few decades ago, perhaps the world wouldn't be like this now."
Sect Leader Quan said, "I wonder if we'll have the chance to have a long talk with this person."
Sect Leader Hui said, "If we can fulfill his wish, then we'll have the chance."
The Sect Leaders present all nodded. If they could befriend Zhang Yu, then it was obviously better to guard a few useless stones.
Sect Leader Hui said, "There's one more thing that I forgot to tell everyone. Master Tao has already agreed that as long as we obtain the 'Ancestral Stone', then we won't help Emperor Xi resolve the curse anymore. This person's cultivation is profound. Since he made this promise, then he should be able to do it."
Hearing this, the Sect Leaders couldn't help but feel excited. Although the Daoist technique was important, the threat of Emperor Xi was also a top priority. If this matter could be accomplished, then it would obviously be beneficial to them.
Sect Leader Shi said, "Looks like we've gained a lot this time." He looked at Daoist Hui and said, "Looks like Daoist Yu from your sect has done well this time. You've really picked the right person to be the envoy. "
Sect Leader Hui said, "Alright, we can talk about this later. Everyone, since Master Tao has shown enough sincerity, then we can't let him not repay us."
The Sect Leaders all nodded. They discussed for a while more, and after reaching a consensus, they returned to their respective sects.
After Sect Leader Shi returned to the sect, he ordered his disciples to check the Ancestral Stones in the sect.
There were actually quite a few Ancestral Stones. When he first obtained them, there were hundreds of them. However, since Zhang Yu wanted them, he wasn't stingy. He might as well give out all the Ancestral Stones in his hands. These stones had been in the sect for so many years, and no one had been able to do anything about them. He might as well do them a favor.
More than ten days later, these Ancestral Stones were successfully delivered to Yang Capital City. They were handed over to Daoist Yu and the black-robed Daoist.
The black-robed Daoist looked at these jade stones of different sizes and said, "If we give these Ancestral Stones away, will Master Tao really agree not to help Emperor Xi?"
Daoist Yu smiled and said, "What do cultivators like us want?"
The black-robed Daoist was startled. He said, "Cultivators naturally seek the Dao."
Daoist Yu said, "That's right. The wealth and prosperity of the human world are like floating clouds. Only transcendence is the right way. Everything else is just a foil to this Dao. Master Tao is also a cultivator, so it's impossible that he doesn't understand this principle. He needs this item because it might be able to help him improve his cultivation."
The black-robed Daoist felt that it made sense. At this moment, he said worriedly, "Emperor Xi must have seen what we've done today, right? He won't stop us, right? "
Daoist Yu said indifferently, "Since Master Tao isn't afraid of this, then what do we have to be afraid of? We're just fake bodies that came here. Now, even our Primordial Spirits are gone. We're just a strand of our consciousness. So what if we lose it? Alright, I don't think we need to wait any longer. Let's send these Ancestral Stones over as soon as possible. "
In order to prevent any accidents from happening, Daoist Yu tidied up a little and kept the Ancestral Stones in his mana. He then went to the living room where Zhang Yu was. Not long after, he arrived at the Earth Realm.
When he reached the door, he was invited in by the servant. When he arrived at the main hall, he saw Zhang Yu. He bowed respectfully and said, "As per your request, I've already obtained the 'Ancestral Stone' you need." He spread out his magic power, and several hundred Ancestral Stones of various sizes were arranged.
Zhang Yu took a few glances. Previously, he only mentioned it to the messenger. He didn't expect the six sects to really deliver these things to him. It seemed like the Dao book was really useful. He said, "I've troubled you, Messenger Yu."
Daoist Yu said, "I'm just passing on a message. The ones who make the decisions are the leaders of the sects." He paused. "Now that the things have been delivered, I've also completed my task. I still have some matters to attend to at the messenger's office. I'll take my leave now."
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "Then I won't keep you any longer, Messenger Yu."
After bowing, Daoist Yu took his leave.
After he left, Zhang Yu walked into the Ancestral Stones.
Some of these Ancestral Stones were about ten feet tall. Some were as small as a dragon's eye. Some had a surface as smooth as a mirror and could reflect a person's figure. Some had many vivid and lifelike cloud patterns that resembled birds and beasts. There were so many unique appearances, and they were formed naturally. Some of them seemed to have some mystical properties. It was no wonder that the six sects collected them.
His footsteps didn't stop. He directly walked past the group of Ancestral Stones with unique appearances. He arrived in front of a stone that was half the height of a person. Compared to the Ancestral Stones beside it, its appearance wasn't shocking. It was smaller in size, but its edges were more rounded. It looked like it had been polished.
However, he knew that this was the fragment he was looking for.
As he stood there, a dim light emitted from the stone, as if it was due to his Qi. It seemed to be resonating with him.
At this moment, he took a deep breath. At this moment, the "Opening Seal" on the Great Dao Scripture seemed to have become more complete. He also immediately filled it with Divine Essence, and bright light shone on his body again.
When the light dissipated, he removed the Great Dao Scripture. He looked at the Ancestral Stones again. Although it looked the same as before, it was still round and smooth. But at this moment, it seemed to have lost some of its spirituality. It became more and more inconspicuous among the Ancestral Stones.
Zhang Yu released the light. After a flash of light, all the Ancestral Stones in the hall disappeared.
He turned his head again and looked to the north. He had already obtained two of the three fragments of the Activation Seal. Now, the only one left was the one in King Lie's hands.
