Chapter 1000: Chapter 999: Continent Storms 2
The Daoists were all surprised, but Zhi Xuan stepped forward to confirm Guzhu’s words,
“Supre Glory!”
The crowd suddenly understood, Supre, hailing from the distant Five Rings, was a Daoist line outside the Three Pure Ones system, forming its own faction. Over tens of thousands of years, its relationship with the Three Pure Ones was marked by conflicts and reconciliations; if a choice had to be made, Anhe would ultimately choose Shangqing over Supre.
They, the thirteen families, had originally joined forces to oust several external Daoist inheritances, including Supre Glory, but what was unexpected was that this person was secretly colluding with Anhe, flirting, exchanging glances?
But it was also possible that those old fellows from Anhe were playing both sides for their own gain, increasing their bargaining chips, allowing them to restrain each other.
“The exact details of this are unclear; those old fellows from Anhe are as cunning as foxes, truly hard to manage.”
Guzhu pondered and said, “Back then, Zhi Xuan junior brother advised to stand on Taiqing’s side, which I agreed to, but the situation changed suddenly. When I realized Supre might intervene, I understood the complexity was beyond our previous judgnts. Rather than let Taiqing Yuqing get involved, it’s better for Shangqing to wade through this muddy water. I feel that the relationship between Anhe Daoist and Shan Sect Quanzhen is too close; if we get involved, we’ll be easily caught in a bind…”
Zhi Xuan spoke softly, “You don’t want us entangled with the Sword Sect? That is indeed one perspective. Getting involved has its benefits, while staying outside gives the pleasure of watching from afar, it’s hard to say… Hmm, this Sword Cultivator is a big problem, all Sword Cultivators are the sa, all are troublemakers. I thought with Yue Duo gone, we’d be lighter, but this guy is just as troubleso.”
Indeed, the situation at Anhe Palace was very chaotic at that ti. Guzhu Daoist is a deep thinker, with a profound understanding of the direction of the voting; he had already started to notice sothing amiss with the five Nascent Soul Masters of Anhe.
If Anhe internally was truly chaotic, Taiqing taking over would not be an issue, using heritage to slowly integrate them would be fine. Whether he votes for Taiqing or not would not affect the overall situation; if the five Anhe Masters were indeed together, then his vote would be significant.
He intended to use his vote to abstain, to reveal the true intentions of the five Anhe Masters, otherwise these old guys might continue their act, making the integration of Anhe Daoist without their support a distant possibility.
The result was, the five hundred-years-playing-actors really were together, under such circumstances, no matter if Yuqing or Taiqing took over, it would not be possible. It’s better to let Shangqing take over this hot potato.
Guzhu coldly smiled, “Actually, who takes over Anhe doesn’t matter, what’s important is the existence of Shan Sect Quanzhen’s reserve Sect Hierarch, his existence poses a danger of splitting the Daoist Sect into fragnts. Observing over the years, his influence on Shangqing’s Anhe Daoist is considerable, with good relations with Chu Sect, and also with overseas South Heavenly Gate of Ying Platform.
Careful thought suggests that whether Tianfeng, Rong Guang, or Hong Xiu, they all possibly have secret ties with the Sword Sect, because during Epoch transitions, the Daoists behind them more or less cooperated with the Sword Sect.”
Zhi Xuan Daoist and several others fell into contemplation, having to acknowledge, Yunji Guzhu’s remarks are not baseless, but have factual grounds. They all co from the Universe’s top Daoist lineages, understanding that part of history to so extent, furthermore due to missions in Jinxiu, even if their Realm is not enough, the sects gave them permissions, letting them know things that were not supposed to be understood at their level.
The splitting before and after the Epoch turnover between the Three Pure Ones, outwardly appeared as Shangqing insisting on independence, but actually had the shadow of the Sword Sect behind, indicating a significant figure.
Supre Glory hailing from the Five Rings, where is also the Sword Sect’s main base, and shares the sa lineage with Xiao Mountain, their ties indeed run very close.
Zhuxian is even the place where a significant figure of the Sword Sect arose, the relations always ambiguous. Calculating this way, Guzhu’s worries are not unfounded.
Zhi Xuan Daoist holds his forehead and asks, “What do you all think?”
Taixuan Gu Bai recalls an event, “I heard that in a year’s ti, Quanzhen Sect plans to hold the induction ceremony for that Sword Cultivator?”
Guangling Hui Yuan sneered, “Monkey pretending to be crown-wearer, a Demon Sect Sword lineage dares to openly invite various Daoist lineages of the Continent? Does he not know his place? A grand event of such level, especially our first continental nature gathering, must be convened by our Daoist Sects, held in the Southeast; what other Daoist lineages have such qualification?”
What he said makes sense, ten years have passed, the Continent had not convened a similar gathering, mostly everyone busy unable to find ti; now it’s nearing ten years, almost all Daoist lineages have settled their affairs, internal transactions completed, naturally requiring a proper gathering to celebrate a bit, establishing a trend of Daoist Sect leading on the Continent.
At this juncture, the Sword Sect has instead acted first, the implications are intriguing.
Da Fang’s Xiao Yue Daoist expressed agreent, “Hui Yuan senior brother’s idea, we can contact Continental Daoist Sects and more friendly sects, together resist this Dushan ceremony? Leaving him empty-handed, without interest?”
Taixuan Gu Bai snorted, “Just a few cats, let it beco a small gathering for Southwest Demon Sect.”
But so thought further, Zhou Yi’s Cen Can Daoist smiled slightly, “Why not act in the opposite direction?”
Guzhu clapped his hands and laughed, “Cen junior brother is brilliant!”
Huangting Guan Zhi also said, “This statent is excellent, showcases our Daoist grace, and there’s potential for action?”
Potential for action? He didn’t elaborate. But everyone understood the implication; re ignoring could cause so coldness, actually disrupting little; but if they can publicly embarrass this individual before all Continental cultivators, then the impact on the Sword Sect would be quite significant. Of course, specifics need careful planning.
The six divided into two factions, neither yielding to the other, ultimately all turned their gaze to Taiching Zhi Xuan Daoist.
Zhi Xuan Daoist had long made up his mind, “Concerning whether to attend the Dushan ceremony, I and Qi Sect Masters already have a plan, we must attend! Not only attend, but make a grand entrance! I advise you all to go too! See just what a hastily built Mountain Gate looks like? I heard the Sword Sect’s confidential work is very strict, so far no outsiders can approach?”
Everyone understood the intention, this is gearing up to cause trouble at the Dushan ceremony, and indeed, a mundane life is not the character of cultivators, even without issues they need to create so, aligning with the features of the Cultivation World.
It’s been ten years, the influence of the Upper Realm has rooted deeply, it’s ti to invigorate the atmosphere, since the Sword Sect couldn’t wait to jump out, why not fulfill their wish, and see if they can handle such a grand scene!
