Chapter 206 - Submission
Since Meng Xunzhen had cultivated to such level, he could not be someone so unreasonable. Now that he was entering the 'Realm of Surpassed Improper Thoughts', which was why his emotions were so unstable. After calming his thoughts, he finally realized that he would take such a big risk of being Guangqing sect's pawn for a mere incomplete piece of Milky Way Swordsmanship.
Now, he not only hated Shen Lian, but also Huan Zhen Daoist. If it wasn't this cow's nose who prophesied him of entering improper thoughts, eventually a shaky Daoist mind, he wouldn't be able to tempt him with the Milky Way Swordsmanship
On normal days, however proud he was, he would not get himself stuck in this puddle.
He was putting himself in the dead end there, not considering anything else. Now that his mind was clear, he would only realize the sort of circ.u.mstance he got himself into. Maybe Huan Zhen Daoist still wanted to save him previously, but there were also people from Guangqing sect who prevented him from saving Qing Xuan.
As of now, it was certain that Guangqing sect would not be bothered with him, and wait for Qing Xuan to get rid of him, which would trigger the conflict between the sects of Clear River and Qing Xuan.
Clear River may be small, but if Qing Xuan was very vengeful, they would also leave a bad name. At that time, the Guangqing Celestial Sect would emerge to help, which not only had done a large favor for Clear River, and also gained the license to put the blame on Qing Xuan. If Qing Xuan avenged lightly, it would seem as if they were weak and bullied, which would only benefit Guangqing and not harm them.
As he thought clearer: What a calculative conspirator this Huan Zhen Daoist was. Oh Xun Mengzhen, how dumb of you of seeing this cow's nose as your best friend.
Shen Lian was peeking into Meng Xunzhen's mind, amused with the effect of Tong Tian Techniques. Meng Xunzhen was secretly planted with abstruse techniques, enabling him to peek into the key secrets of the Cloud Water True Light Sword, and also had Tong Tian Techniques applied on him to hear his thoughts.
Of course beforehand, Shen Lian had shut off Meng Xunzhen's cultivations and locked his bier, or else little tricks like this would had been debunked.
That was why, Yan Xu's 'Free Form Incarnation' technique, was really unpredictable, and it could even soundlessly break into a person's spirit, grab the opportunity to snatch other people's powers, and like a dove over magpie's nest, make one's body its own.
Meng Xunzhen finally sighed, "Clear River Sword's sect is willing to be part of Qing Xuan's".
The headmaster of Clear River Sword sect was approaching his end, making Jiang Shuijie the next recognized succeeding headmaster. Else, he would not have taken up the position of the Executive Doyen of the Clear River Sword sect.
These words said by him could not be reversible.
Jiang Shuijie felt quite relieved but with a bit of sadness. If there was an Immortal Zhenren in Clear River, things would not have been like this.
Mount Taicang was unpredictably high, and the mountains here could stretch for thousands of miles. All the surrounding peaks served as foil for Mount Taicang's grace, as if they were flocks of stars holding the moon. And there lied the mountain gate of Guangqing Celestial sect, in the middle of Mount Taicang.
Everyone knew where the Celestial gate was located at, but only those who were destined could pass through it.
Huanzhen Daoist was just standing on top of Ningcui Cliff, his feather robe floating in the air with such an endless emission of celestial aura. The chief of Guang Qing sect was his Honored master, also one of the five Immortal Zhenrens of Guang Qing, namely 'Yu Ming the Honored Celestial'.
Huan Zhen Daoist was the inheritor of Yu Ming the Honored Celestial, and a publically recognized succeeding chief.
His powers and influence in the sect was only after those of the Five Immortal Zhenrens.
Behind him stood a pretty lady, who appeared from nowhere, and spoke softly, "Your holiness".
Huan Zhen Daoist slowly turned his body, and the same time, this movement of rotation seemed to have rotated the entire Ningcui Cliff as well. Anyone with some understanding of cultivation would understand the intensity with such level of Unity of Universe and Human.
The girl felt an increased respect for Huan Zhen, knowing that he had approached one step closer towards the immortal Zhenren. Sooner or later he would become the sixth immortal Zhenren of Guang Qing.
Actually, Huan Zhen had the qualifications to reach the Realm beyond Improper Thoughts, but his presence in Guang Qing had increased the the difficulties of him achieve that realm as compared to others in the Xuanmen.
One sect had five land immortals, which was already a situation where there were too many flowers in a basket. If there were six land immortals in a sect, it would presumably welcome jealousy from the heavens. Guang Qing was still not capable of receiving such blessings.
This was also why the Guang Qing Celestial sect wanted to become one of the four main daoist sects, else it would become a second Sky River Sword sect. Initially, the Sky River Sword sect was such a celebrated sect, yet it still dispersed without any inheritance.
Huanzhen Daoist casually asked, "Qing Yin, has Clear River Sword sect submitted to Qing Xuan?"
Qing Yin was shocked, "How did Your holiness know about this? I was just about to report this to you".
Huanzhen Daoist stared at the Qing Yin's hair bun, and her waterfall-like descending black hair. Under his close training, she wandered the world to help build up his reputation from behind the scenes, and even invaded the crumbling Luoism.
Huanzhen Daoist waved and smiled, "When one person had a thought, the heaven and earth would clearly know it. If you can read the heavens, you naturally know many things. Shen Lian was really a strong opponent. I actually regret not killing him that time".
Though he mentioned regret, but there was no such emotion to disrupt his clear mind. Those who had surpassed Improper Thoughts and a person as clear-minded as him were very rare. In this world, the cultivators who had the 'Realm of Surpassed Improper Thoughts' very rarely get their hands on worldly matters, because the Dao heart would be the most stable in this realm and very easily influenced. Most of them would look for a secluded place to cultivate and study Daoism, and even move on their own.
Unless they had gotten a chance of revelation, else they would not simply move around.
Qing Yin lightly bit her lips and replied, "What is your next instruction, Your Holiness?"
At this moment, a ray of sword gleam flew in, cutting through the skies and chimed like a flying phoenix. The sword gleam descended from the air, then into Huan Zhen's hand. It was a little sword glowing in silver with a letter attached to it.
Huan Zhen took out the letter, and its contents were secretive Dao words. As he read it, understanding its content, he sighed, "So it is true that a person can change the result of the heaven's plans."
Qing Yin sounded surprised: "What happened, Your Holiness?"
Huanzhen Daoist rarely had times when he lost his composure, even a talented person like Hui Ke would be his friend, and Baoyue the Venerable would invite to visit Jin Guang temple. Though there were other reasons to it, the crucial point was still that Huan Zhen was really capable.
If a person like such lost his composure too, those who knew Huan Zhen would be very shocked.
Huan Zhen replied, "We initially have five spiritual caves in the Yin Mountain. Recently a bunch of demonic soldiers from the Underworld Demonic sect emerged with no reason, not only destroyed the spiritual caves, and even annihilated the disciples who were based there.
A spiritual cave gathered the spiritual qi from the heaven and earth, it could produce various kinds of treasures of the heaven and earth which were considered precious resources to any sect.
The Yin Mountain had a large boundary with very few spiritual caves. Guang Qing could have five remain, all thanks to the reputation of the five Immortal Zhenrens.
And the most crucial point was that the Underworld Demonic sect only destroyed Guang Qing's spiritual cave, which was obviously a directed attack. Ever since the Wujian Daoist of Underworld Demonic sect had disappeared, it had been some time since the Demonic army had stepped out of Yin Mountains.
Now that they were out, and attacked Guang Qing immediately, Huan Zhen felt that something was off.
Hell, starved ghosts, animals, those in charge of these three paths, except the Hell path were very earth shattering characters that should not be messed with.
As long as the Underworld Demonic sect incident was not resolved, he was afraid that he would not be able to deal with Qing Xuan.
