Chapter 588: Chapter 109: The Temptation of the Jade Sword Buddha
Yin Yang Sect.
Nestled in the finest spirit vein of Yangyin State, the mountain peaks are enveloped in immortal mist, with palace complexes looming through the clouds, alongside jade stone paths bordered with exotic flowers and spirit beasts like cranes.
Countless seekers of immortality dwell at the foot of the mountain, making it even grander than the Sanqing Taoist Sect.
As a major sect renowned for dual cultivation in Daoist practices, Hee Huan rose through military feats to beco a Venerable, steadily elevating his status. His dual cultivation philosophy, favored by Qingcang Immortal, subtly placed him at the forefront of this realm’s dual cultivation sphere.
Gu Wen and the two companions arrived silently, without attracting any attention. Standing amidst the crowd, they gazed at the mountain gate that exuded an aura of immortals everywhere,
The sect’s gate was carved from millennial ancient wood, with intricate Daoist inscriptions glowing faintly, forming the words Yin and Yang.
“Quite grand indeed. I wonder how much they’ve extorted from the common folk.”
Chi Yu Zi’s words could send chills down anyone’s spine; if overheard by the haughty disciples of the Yin Yang Sect standing at the gate, it would surely cause considerable trouble.
Gu Wen said helplessly, “Can you not be so vulgar? Can’t you be more restrained?”
“Why should I, a Venerable, avoid them? According to the Taoist Sect’s laws, as a Venerable, one has the duty to rebel against a state’s populace.”
Chi Yu Zi abruptly changed his tone, referencing the Taoist Sect’s laws.
“The Yin Yang Sect is so grandly cultivated; surely the common folk should all be well-fed and clothed, like dragons, right?”
“I won’t argue with you, just don’t cause trouble when we et Mr. Hee later.”
“I’ll keep quiet and play dumb, alright?”
Chi Yu Zi rolled his eyes, recalling the Yin Yang Heavenly Venerate.
Being Venerables themselves, they were bound to et, as the Taoist Sect invites all Venerables to a conference every hundred years, known by outsiders as the Heavenly Venerate Conference.
The Yin Yang Heavenly Venerate…
In his mind, a face described as ‘nothing special’ appeared; most cultivators looked decent, with great powers being either wizened and shriveled or handso.
She didn’t quite favor the appearance of the Yin Yang Heavenly Venerate simply because he resembled a woman.
Chi Yu Zi was rather old-fashioned, believing that n should look like n and won like won; there was nothing appealing about a hermaphrodite’s androgyny.
Yet with such a handso face, could he be trying to seduce Gu Wen?
As this thought arose, Chi Yu Zi’s hostility deepened.
After all, in the Cultivation World, there were quite a few Daoist boys fond of male charms.
While Chi Yu Zi was lost in his thoughts, Gu Wen had already approached the mountain gate to display their identity as guests from the Sanqing Taoist Sect.
Prior to their arrival, Gu Wen had already inford the Yin Yang Sect through the Taoist Sect, albeit without revealing their identities. Perhaps accustod to discretion while at Dragon Bridge, he disliked ostentation, preferring minimal identity borrowing and never intentionally seeking fa.
It’s said that fa brings fear, akin to a pig growing fat.
Yet those alongside Gu Wen seed bolder than pigs, exclaiming openly, “Bring Hee Huan to et us.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the Yin Yang Tao Sect disciples and elders on duty shifted, clearly aware of their Sect Leader’s true na.
The fact that these three dared address the Sect Leader by na strongly suggested they might be great powers familiar with the Sect Leader.
Unable to discern the trio’s cultivation, the gate elder respectfully replied, “Please wait a mont, esteed seniors, while I consult with the sect’s Great Elder.”
The divine thought flew back into the mountain gate, and shortly after, several unfamiliar thoughts erged, manifesting as three varied figures—each with cultivation above Returning to Void.
They scrutinized Gu Wen and the others; Chi Yu Zi and Gu Wen were unfamiliar—the forr generally showed herself as a Divine General, and the latter had never been seen before. It wasn’t until they noticed the nun in the platinum kasaya that their expressions turned reverent.
The three divine thought figures bowed in unison, saying, “Greetings to Jade Buddha Heavenly Venerate.”
Venerate—those words brought astonishnt to all around, who began averting their gazes and retreating, daring not to regard directly.
The little nun showed no expression and offered no reply; it was only when Gu Wen gently nudged her that she spoke in a mystical tone, “Amitabha, this humble monk is here today to et with the Yin Yang Heavenly Venerate. Is the Yin Yang Heavenly Venerate available?”
The Yin Yang Tao Sect elder responded, “Replying to the Venerate, the Sect Master is currently in seclusion and hasn’t erged in a decade, so it might be difficult to see him imdiately. If Buddha Venerate isn’t averse, you may stay in our modest abode within the Yin Yang Sect for a few days. We will endeavor to notify the Sect Master.”
Jade Sword Buddha offered no response, rely glancing at Gu Wen.
This action prompted the Yin Yang Tao Sect’s three elders to ponder Gu Wen’s identity, wondering who this Great Divine Power User might be, to warrant Jade Buddha Heavenly Venerate’s deference.
Recently, rumors spoke of Yuqing Heavenly Venerate appearing, might it be this very individual?
Seasoned cultivators live long lives, allowing many to beco shrewd, deducing Gu Wen’s identity from a re gesture.
“Eh…”
Gu Wen sighed helplessly.
Though he wished to maintain a low profile, traveling with these two felt like carrying two glaring lamps. Anyone with a smidgen of awareness could recognize them, especially the little nun.
Historically, monks liked to preach, hosting Buddhist etings everywhere, making Jade Sword Buddha well-known.
“Might as well stay for a few days.”
Gu Wen and his companions entered the Yin Yang Sect, accompanied by elders, encountering no trouble or hindrance.
In the Cultivation World, strength is respect; this hasn’t changed from ancient tis. With sufficient strength, trouble tends to steer clear.
————————————
Reaching the depths of the sect, Gu Wen and the others arrived at a secluded palace.
The elder halted, bowing, “This secluded courtyard is yours, esteed seniors. Daoist boys will guard the gate shortly. If there’s anything you detest, please inform us.”
Having spoken, he briskly departed, seizing no opportunity to establish connections.
