Chapter 668: The Imperial Edict Conferred on the Holy Sect Branch

Chapter 668: The Imperial Edict Conferred on the Holy Sect Branch

The group of people who were secretly watching Yu Lie and were shocked by the crowd of immortals in the sky came from Taozhou to congratulate him.

Although they appear to be from Taozhou, in reality, they all carry the will of the ancient cultivators.

The two leading Taozhou Taoist priests, when they heard the ancient cultivators who were relying on them talking, stared blankly at the top of Yu Lie's head.

Seeing the stars appear in broad daylight and so many immortals manifest themselves, the two Taozhou Taoist masters felt extremely complicated emotions.

For a moment, they didn't know whether their secret communication with foreign lands and collusion with ancient cultivators was really a big mistake as the Taoist friend in the palace said before. It would be the beginning of eternal damnation and they were ashamed of their ancestors and their disciples.

However, the complex emotions only passed through the two people's hearts for a few breaths, and their eyes became calm and they no longer thought about anything else.

Now they regret it, as if they had a choice in the first place.

Moreover, in recent years, after taking refuge with the ancient cultivators, the living conditions of the entire Taozhou Taoist Palace have improved a lot compared to previous years.

Suddenly, a cold voice sounded in the minds of Taozhou and his group at the same time:

"Don't act rashly, and continue to observe. Don't expose yourself unless necessary."

After the indifferent voice finished speaking, it also sent a gentle message to them: "Remember, compared to intelligence and other things, even if it involves the first-grade golden elixir, it is not as important as you.

You are the only branch of our Holy Sect that has been successfully established in the Mountain and Sea Realm in tens of thousands of years. Protect yourselves first!"

"Yes! I will follow His Holiness's order."

The two Taozhou Taoist masters and a group of Taozhou Taoists all shouted in their hearts.

Afterwards, Taozhou and his group lined up in the queue and followed the flow of people. They met Yu Lie at a moderately timely moment and received warm greetings from Yu Lie.

The two Taoist masters saw that Yu Lie, who was only a Taoist disciple back then, was now on par with them and had a status a thousand times higher than theirs, and their feelings became complicated again.

However, as the two had been spies for the ancient sect for many years, they had long learned how to perfectly conceal their expressions. They did not show any abnormality at all. Whether they were happy, proud, or flattering, they were not much different from the other teams.

But they didn't know that the fact that their entire team was normal made Yu Lie even more alert.

After all, long before he came, Yu Lie had already learned about the ancient cultivators in Taozhou from Kuimulang and the other two, and he was quite suspicious of this group of Taoists.

Today, Taozhou and Qianzhou are quite close to each other. Although the relationship is still good, when faced with the fact that Qianzhou has produced a first-grade golden elixir, no matter how magnanimous and sensible they are, it is impossible for everyone in the team to be like this, and someone will inevitably show jealousy.

"This group of people disguised themselves too well."

Yu Lie sighed in his heart: "It seems that Kuimulang and his men are probably right to accuse Taozhou. It's a pity that Taozhou's founder sacrificed himself back then."

Although he was alert in his heart, his expression was normal and he was chatting and laughing with them.

Once the ceremony was done, Yu Lie did not specially arrange prime viewing seats for the people from Taozhou, nor was he overly enthusiastic. He treated them very normally.

His actions also made the Taozhou group, who were quite nervous, breathe a sigh of relief.

Some people even thought to themselves, "It is said that the first-grade golden elixir is the son of the world's luck, the most perceptive, able to see the slightest details... But now it seems that it is just that."

When Taozhou's group came to pay their respects, in the Huoluan Immortal Palace, apart from Yu Lie who seemed to be aware of something, there was another person whose heart was also touched, and he secretly glanced at Taozhou's group several times.

This person is not Kuimu Lang or Jiaomu Jiao. Because these two guys have been in the palace for a short time and their relationship with Yu Lie is not close enough on the surface, and they are also afraid to return to the Mountain and Sea Realm, they are placed in the Disaster Realm to look after the house.

The person whose heart was touched was none other than Iron Sword Orchid.

Tie Jianlan didn't need to look for any clues to sense a sense of familiarity from the Taozhou group.

This made her heart beat wildly, and she hurriedly shouted in her heart: "Master, may I ask, is the person from the sect you are looking for in that team?"

The remaining soul of Shi Hanzi suddenly woke up after hearing the call from Iron Sword Orchid. After receiving the sensory transmission from Iron Sword Orchid, it immediately showed a look of surprise.

"Haha, that's right. If someone really has infiltrated this Mountain and Sea Realm, my disciple, you and I can return to the sect this time.

They must have a secret passage in their hands that can lead to the mountain gate."

However, just as Shi Hanzi finished his words of surprise, he hesitated and said, "Eh, something is wrong. Although his behavior gives me a sense of the same origin, he must have met cultivators of my generation and was anchored.

But this aura doesn’t seem to belong to a sect, but more like…”

Shi Hanzi was thinking about it, and when Tie Jianlan heard his words, her mind changed slightly. She immediately suppressed her emotions, not daring to act rashly, and didn't even look at Taozhou and his group.

After a while, Tie Jianlan couldn't help but urged in her heart: "Master, may I ask what's wrong with them? Could it be that they are not from the sect?"

Shi Hanzi then spoke slowly:

"That's right. As a teacher, I observed their demeanor and, apart from the vague feeling of common origin, I could not detect any other clues. This kind of concealment is definitely not something that our Taiyin Sword Sect can do.

And if they are from your sect, they will most likely be aware of your presence and will not turn a blind eye."

After a pause, Shi Hanzi judged: "The cultivators hidden in this group of Taozhou Taoists are most likely the guys from Taisu Sect. They are best at mental images and illusions, specializing in the cultivation of the soul, and can control others and seize their foundations. They are very ghostly!

Even among the top Dao sects, some would be controlled by these guys and become their minions. Their most shocking record was when a saint girl, with only a real elixir, gave herself to an immortal. Not only did she not become a furnace, but she took the immortal as her servant and took away half of his magic power, becoming an immortal on the spot, which was even more amazing than an ordinary golden elixir Dao seed."

Upon hearing this, Tie Jianlan's heart could not help but beat faster, and she exclaimed:

"It can even subdue immortals and divide up their magic power? What kind of skill is this!"

Shi Hanzi immediately sneered and said, "But you don't have to be too envious. The shortcuts you take will eventually pay off. The true meaning of their method is to use the world as a calamity to sharpen yourself, and finally achieve the goal of not seeking external things. Only in this way can you go a long way.

Otherwise, if one does not have that kind of character, even if one forcibly seizes the power, one's future will either be ruined or one will end up being a plaything of a stronger person. Moreover, this kind of technique can easily change a person's temperament.

In the past, there was a man who usurped the foundation of a certain female cultivator. He was obviously a good man, but he became more and more sinister as he cultivated, and finally became neither male nor female. He called himself a celestial being, and ended up being insane..."

When Tie Jianlan heard this, she felt a chill in her heart and her envy disappeared immediately.

Although her qualifications were not as good as Yu Lie and other Dao Seeds, she was naturally proud in her heart. She was unwilling to take shortcuts, and even more unwilling to covet temporary achievements and sow the seeds of disaster for the future.

After suppressing his distracting thoughts, Tie Jianlan asked again:

"In this case, should we contact them? If so, how should we treat them?"

Shi Hanzi pondered for a long time before answering:

"There is no rush for this matter. You and I can just continue to enjoy this feast.

By the way, I have a feeling that this group of Taisu Sect guys are not here just to give gifts. You'd better find a way to remind Yu Lie."

Shi Hanzi laughed secretly: "Otherwise, if he accidentally falls into the trap of those people, and half of the foundation of the first-grade golden elixir is taken away by others, then he will become the biggest joke among the first-grade golden elixirs in history."

This reminded Tie Jianlan.

Since the so-called Taisu Sect's method was so dependent on others, then Yu Lie's first-grade golden elixir would naturally be a rare delicacy in their eyes. If they could seize it, they would have obtained a great fortune, comparable to becoming an immortal on the spot.

This group of Taisu Sect monks lurking in Taozhou not only make Shi Hanzi feel fearful, but they can also successfully take root in the Mountain and Sea Realm. Their methods and strength should not be underestimated.

"However, how should we remind Yu Lie?" Tie Jianlan frowned secretly.

Yu Lie also knew about Shi Hanzi's existence, and he was even the first person to come into contact with him. However, he didn't know about his defection from the Mountain and Sea Realm, and neither Tie Jianlan nor Shi Hanzi would tell a third person.

Just as Yu Lie was on guard and Tie Jianlan was struggling, three days later, Yu Lie finally met with all the large and small congratulatory teams.

By this time, almost half of the originally planned seven-day celebration had passed, and Yu Lie had not yet opened the altar to perform rituals, demonstrate the Great Elixir, and pray to heaven and earth.

Fortunately, Yi Gan's arrangements had been completely set up during these three days.

Layer upon layer of floating islands turned into viewing platforms, moving around the Purple Mountain. The various spiritual stones and materials sent by the immortals and other Taoist cities were also arranged within a radius of 100 miles, forming a huge formation.

Looking down from the sky, this formation appears to have thirty-six layers and is shining with spiritual light. Even in the eyes of those immortals, it is barely qualified.

Yu Lie met the guests for three days, and then spent another whole day and twelve hours bathing and fasting before he appeared in everyone's sight again.

At this moment, he was wearing a crown, similar to the robes worn by ancient kings, embroidered with the sun, moon, stars, and insects, and a jade crown on his head.

Walking out of the quiet room and slowly climbing to the highest point of the Purple Mountain Altar, he immediately attracted everyone's attention and made many people's eyes light up.

Zi Zhuzi looked at Yu Lie, who had a noble temperament and seemed like a god, and couldn't help but compare him with his appearance when he was a young Taoist disciple.

Her eyes suddenly became hazy, and she was filled with emotion: "A hundred years have passed, and things are completely different now. This all seems like an illusion."

In particular, the majestic aura rising from Yu Lie's body, which was like a pillar of heaven, stretched across everyone's eyes. It also made Zi Zhuzi completely understand that Yu Lie was no longer the little kid who had to seek shelter under her wings.

Besides feeling emotional, Zi Zhuzi also felt a sense of pride in raising her son, which made her smile continuously and look at Yu Lie with joy in her eyes.

Moreover, the other people around saw that Yu Lie had red lips and white teeth, a handsome appearance, and a majestic aura. He had not yet made any move, but as soon as his aura was initially exposed, the sky and the earth began to change color, and the roars of dragons and tigers appeared on the altar.

They all secretly exclaimed:

"As expected of a first-grade golden elixir, not only is his magical power high, but he is also so handsome!"

"What a handsome and energetic son."

"I wonder if this boy has a Taoist partner? Even if he does, my daughter can become a concubine and have a child to continue his bloodline. That would be great."

All kinds of discussions and envious and jealous looks surrounded Yu Lie.

Yu Lie stood on a high place, looked around and bowed.

With a whoosh, the figures of Ancient God Son and Immortal Sword flashed and stood on his left and right respectively, far behind him, acting as guards to hold the field.

The incarnation of the Emperor of Heaven appeared again, directly east of Yu Lie, and was taller than Yu Lie, so Yu Lie had to look up slightly.

This situation made Yu Lie secretly unhappy, as he felt that he was not praying to heaven and earth, but to someone. However, he immediately suppressed the slight discomfort in his heart.

After all, we are now in the Mountain and Sea Realm, the territory of the Immortal Court and the Taoist Court, not the Disaster Realm, so we should just go with the other party.

Tianwenzi smiled and nodded to Yu Lie, then turned sideways and bowed towards the distant void, and a scroll appeared in his hand.

Ding!

The man waved his hand lightly, and a huge sound of bells and chimes rang out, making the whole Qianzhou quiet and all distracting thoughts disappear.

Tianwenzi spoke slowly:

"The Immortal Court of Heaven and Order proclaims:

Now there is a Taoist who has followed the will of Heaven and received this clear command. His elixir has become of the highest grade, and he can enjoy the luck of the mountains and seas, and can assume the responsibility of the Son of Heaven. You should be the first in the world, be brave and diligent, live up to the blessings of the immortal way, command yin and yang, and feed all kinds of people, in order to respond to the favor of the three spirits.

Admire this. "

Every time Tianwenzi read a word of this imperial edict, the heaven and earth around Qianzhou Daocheng would vibrate, and the movement would continue to spread, touching all living things in the entire mountain and sea world.

At the same time, strong dragon energy condensed in the sky above Qianzhou as if it was free, and turned into golden rain, washing over Qianzhou.

Yu Lie was in it, and he also suddenly raised his head and looked at the sky. He felt a great joy rising from all directions. The source of this joy was not any person around him, nor any living being, but the world he was in.

This feeling of sensing the heaven and earth was much stronger than when he was forming a pill in the Disaster Realm. Even though he had expected it, he was still stunned for a moment.

It was only when Tianwenzidixian's voice continued to ring that he was awakened from his feelings.

The other party was high in the air, looking at Yu Lie with a smile, and said:

"Daozi Yulie, are you willing to accept this edict and inherit the throne?"
