North Wind felt a little regretful that Daoist Yan, who was somewhat related to him, had not arrived yet. Judging from the timeline, if she did not come now, it would be difficult for her to come in the future. What was the reason? Was she unwilling to come? Did she not want to compete? Or was there some other matter that was bothering her?
This Daoist Yan seemed to be a little weak? However, such a person was a good target for him to rope in, not only for this person, but also for the orthodoxy behind her. If it was someone stronger, North Wind might not be able to rope them in.
As his interest waned, a few people came from afar. Two of them were from the Southern Vermilion Bird. In the Origin World, they could be considered to have heard of each other. Thus, they naturally had to get closer here. Most importantly, their Innate Daos did not conflict with each other. This was the basic condition for becoming friends!
At the Flying Stream Crossing, because most people came early, they met each other in advance. Occasionally, there would be people who were familiar with each other and they would introduce each other. However, no matter how they introduced each other, there was a rule that had to be followed. That was the origin of violence. When it involved the Great Dao, there was no possibility of coexistence.
For example, among the three people who came, two of them were familiar to him. One of them cultivated Taixu while the other cultivated Unity. Judging from the aura of the unfamiliar cultivator, he was different from the others. He should be of Yin and Yang. As for North Wind, he cultivated Origin Essence.
The one who cultivated Taixu was called Netherworld Child. He smiled and said, "Brother North Wind, we heard that you are waiting for a friend from the Azure Dragon Elephant? Why isn't he here yet? Was there a delay because of something?
Coincidentally, we also met a friend from the Azure Dragon Elephant a few days ago, so we came to say hello to you. Let's get closer in the future! "
The void of the universe was divided into the Four Divisions. The Azure Dragon, the White Tiger, the Vermilion Bird, and the Black Tortoise mainly referred to the four directions. There was no practical meaning to it. This was the common boundary of this group of people. It was not something that was dispensable, or a division that they thought was unrequited.
In fact, the Four Symbols Heavens were also managed by Immortals in the Immortal Court. They each had their own duties. The universe was too big, so management had to be divided into sections to reduce the pressure. This was human nature.
In the Four Symbols Heaven, the East Azure Dragon was managed by Heavenly Lord Dong Sheng. He was a True Immortal. Of course, he also had a group of Seven Constellations under him — Jiao, Kang, Di, Fang, Xin, Wei, and Ji.
White Tiger of the West was a servant of the ancient Dipankara Buddha. He was also a True Immortal and had seven Constellation Officers under him – Kui, Lou, Wei, Liu, Bi, Si, and Can.
The Vermilion Bird of the South was led by the Seven-colored Phoenix. It was a True Immortal and had seven constellations under it — Jing, Gui, Liu, Xing, Zhang, Yi, and Zhen.
The Black Tortoise of the North was personally led by the Great Emperor of Ziwei. He was a True Immortal and had the seven constellations of the Celestial Officials — Fighting, Bull, Woman, Void, Danger, Room, and Wall.
In fact, the cultivation world was right. From these personnel arrangements, it could be seen that Heavenly Lord Dong Sheng and the ancient Buddha Dipankara were both humans. Needless to say, the Seven-colored Phoenix represented the universe's beasts. On the other hand, Great Emperor Ziwei's roots were innate spiritual treasures.
It was exactly the same as the Heaven's Eye System!
Therefore, the allocation of these four positions was a kind of balance of personnel. It was also the cornerstone to maintain the stability of the Immortal Court and the development of the Lower Bound. It couldn't be easily changed. Such rules slowly spread to the Lower Bound and gradually became standard in the important personnel structure. It wasn't a bad thing. They restrained each other, supported each other, pushed each other's shoulders, and argued with each other. Everyone just carried each other and dragged each other along as they muddled along.
Immortals would also fight among themselves when they had nothing to do in the Heavens. In this regard, they were no different from mortals. The only difference was that mortals were considered to be very temperamental if they fought for decades. However, immortals could fight for millions of years. Moreover, there was no such thing as forgetting grudges with a smile. This was because this was a battle of orthodoxy and couldn't be tolerated!
Whatever the superior liked, the inferior had to follow. The likes and dislikes of the immortals in the Upper Bound would more or less be reflected in the mortal world. Especially when the time period was millions of years, such likes and dislikes would slowly be ingrained in people's hearts. Even if a sect of the White Tiger Elephant Domain didn't have the chance to interact with the cultivators of the Azure Dragon Elephant Domain in its tens of thousands of years of history, they would still consciously or unconsciously oppose each other when they met on certain occasions. This was the reason for history.
Among the Four Divisions, the Azure Dragon and the White Tiger were more opposite. The remaining Vermillion Bird and Black Tortoise's allegiance was unclear. Although these two divisions were nominally controlled by the demonic beast Phoenix and the spiritual treasure Ziwei, in reality, the cultivators were still the dominant force. In such a chaotic situation, the relationship between the two divisions was somewhat complicated and difficult to explain.
The human cultivators of the Vermillion Bird and Black Tortoise Divisions were somewhat divided. Those who were loyal to the Azure Dragon would, of course, be loyal to the White Tiger. For example, North Wind and the Netherworld Child were slightly biased towards the Azure Dragon, or they sat on the fence of both sides. Therefore, they were more willing to interact with the cultivators of the Azure Dragon.
North Wind was trying to rope in Lou Xiaoyi, and the Netherworld Child had also brought along a cultivator of the Azure Dragon. It was inevitable for them to choose in such a situation, so it was not strange at all.
North Wind was very enthusiastic. "This is?"
The Netherworld Child introduced, "Gao Xian of the Azure Dragon, a member of the Three Pure Ones, Ma Bailu!"
Everyone met him again. This Taoist Ma spoke and acted with the demeanor of a great master. He was elegant and decent, and his insights were profound. He was worthy of being a member of a great sect with a long history like the Three Pure Ones. Lou Xiaoyi was famous in the Main World under his real name, Lou Xiaoyi, so he came here using his Taoist name, Cigarette Butt. Ma Bailu was the opposite. He was famous in the Main World under his Taoist name, so he came here using his real name to avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble.
A person's name, a tree's shadow, and the root of disaster!
Ma Bailu cupped his hands. "It is fate that I am able to meet the Southern Sky Fellow Daoists today! I heard from Senior Brother Netherworld Child that Fellow Daoist Shuo was waiting here for friends from the Eastern Sky. I was curious, so I brought the two of you here to see if you were acquaintances, or if you had heard of them before.
The universe is so big that we don't have the chance to meet each other. But the Interior Heaven has provided us with such a stage, a truly great opportunity. Ever since I came to the Flying Stream, I've seen many friends from the Eastern Sky, but I don't know any of them. I've never met anyone before. I've been thinking, is it possible that I, Ma Bailu, have such bad luck that I can't even see a single Dao friend in the Interior Heaven?
So I came here as the last hope. I hope Brother North Wind won't take offense! "
North Wind laughed. "It's not that you, Ma Bailu, are fated, but that everyone is fated! When I came to the Interior Sky, the only one I really know is the Netherworld Child. At that time, I just looked at him from afar and didn't even say a word! In the Interior Sky, it is normal for people like us to only know one or two out of more than sixty people. We are in the minority. Most of the others are like you and don't know anyone!
The universe is so big and boundless. After all, our lifespans are limited and we have not traveled through many worlds. Everyone is bitterly cultivating, so it is normal that we don't know each other. Brother Ma, you don't have to worry about it! "
