Chapter 410
Three days later.
Zhenwu Mountain, Guest House.
The apprenticeship ceremony ended, and representatives from major sects, noble families, and local groups left one after another.
Zhenwu Mountain returned to its usual tranquility and peace. Now, it is still the off-season for tourism, and there are not many tourists on or off the mountain.
Zhang Fan settled down on Zhenwu Mountain. He knew very clearly that although this storm seemed to have ended, the impact was so great that, in fact, it had only just begun.
The sect leaders of the major Daoist sects, the Pure Yang noble families, and many other forces were all old and cunning characters; they should more or less be able to feel that after that night, the world would never be the same again.
Of course, that is a story for later.
At present, Zhang Fan does not yet know how vast and far-reaching the impact of that night is.
In the three days, he stayed on Zhenwu Mountain, spending every day with Li Miaoyin, sightseeing, and exchanging Daoist techniques.
Besides this, he met many friends.
Fang Changle returned to Jiangnan Province with the elders of Maoshan.
Before leaving, he told Zhang Fan that something earth-shattering must have happened on Zhenwu Mountain that night; it is said that they held meetings all night in Shangjing, and the lights at the Dao Alliance Headquarters were on all night.
The next day, the Shangjing Dao Alliance dispatched a work guidance group to head to the major famous mountains and sects.
"What does that mean?"
"The meaning is very obvious. Plotting against the Pure Yang Zhenren, such a big move, there must be an internal traitor; the major sects are not all clean either," Fang Changle said obscurely.
In recent years, the Wu Wei Sect has risen from the ashes, with a trend of becoming increasingly intense.
It and the Daoist sects have infiltrated each other extremely severely.
Clearly, the Dao Alliance intends to take this opportunity to carry out a major cleansing.
"The world will fall into disputes from now on!" Fang Changle sighs.
He heard from the elders in the sect that the Dao Alliance might take action against the Wu Wei Sect; one day, reopening Long Hu Mountain, breaking the mountains and destroying the temples, is not impossible.
Regarding this, Zhang Fan fell into deep thought.
Besides Fang Changle...
Qi Delong and Qi Dongqiang also came to bid farewell to Zhang Fan and returned to Mount Laojun, and they agreed that if Zhang Fan goes to 【Nanhe Province】 in the future, he must go to the mountain to sit for a while.
Zhang Fan readily agreed; after all, Mount Laojun is also one of the top ten famous Daoist mountains in the world, and Laozi Li Er once lived in seclusion and practiced here; it is also the ancestral mountain of the immortals.
When he has time, Zhang Fan will of course go to see it.
But for now, he still has very important things to do.
"You are going back to the Ge family?"
This day, Ge Shuangxiu also came to bid farewell.
"Yes, I have to go back at least once."
Facing Zhang Fan's doubt, Ge Shuangxiu nodded and did not hide it.
These two days, Ge Juexing had already talked to him; as for what they talked about, Ge Shuangxiu did not say much, but looking at it, it clearly made him develop a sense of identification with his clan bloodline.
After all, he is also surnamed Ge.
"The current situation of the Ge family is not very good."
Ge Shuangxiu roughly recounted what happened on the Golden Summit of Zhenwu Mountain that night.
These contents should all have been told to him by Ge Juexing.
That night, the two Celestial Masters of the Ge family died on the Golden Summit of Zhenwu Mountain; now, only Ge Juexing remains.
Plotting against the Pure Yang Zhenren—such a crime cannot be said to be small.
As the last remaining Three Tian Shi of the Ge family, Ge Juexing's current situation is quite awkward, and the Ge family is even more precarious. Once the liquidation and implication begin, the Pure Yang noble family that has existed for a thousand years will face its greatest crisis, and it is even possible that their incense will be cut off.
"No wonder..." Zhang Fan says in realization.
He finally knows why Daoist Pojie wanted to abolish his own cultivation.
It's just that Zhang Fan cannot understand why Daoist Pojie did this, and he cannot figure out why the two old Celestial Masters of the Ge family dared to play such a big game, not hesitating to bet on the future and prospects of the Ge family.
"I fear there are others behind this," Zhang Fan guesses.
"Not clear," Ge Shuangxiu says in a deep voice.
Ge Juexing only told him the general process and the current situation of the Ge family; as for the grievances within, he did not mention a single word.
"The Ge family is in trouble," Zhang Fan says in a deep voice.
The current Ge family is even more difficult and dangerous than the Qiu family.
The Qiu family only had two Celestial Masters; Qiu Shangqing died in the Qin Gu small town, and now the Qiu family only has one old Three Tian Shi left. Before he passes away, it is hard to say whether he can cultivate another Three Tian Shi for the Qiu family.
At that time, the situation of the Qiu family will take a sharp turn for the worse.
The Ge family had three Celestial Masters, and only Ge Juexing remains. Although he belongs to the middle-aged generation and can live for a long time, however...
The Ge family's Pure Yang Dharma treasure has been lost; that was the greatest foundation and reliance of the Pure Yang noble family's inheritance.
Not to mention, the Ge family committed such a great crime; with Pure Yang's anger, perhaps this noble family that has been passed down for a thousand years will disappear just like that.
By comparison, the Qiu family only faces the danger of decline.
But the Ge family faces the danger of extinction.
"Going back at this time is really not the best timing," Zhang Fan's voice is heavy, and he cannot help but worry about the future and safety of this good brother.
"Living in this world, even if one wanders outside, one cannot truly cut off family ties," Ge Shuangxiu sighs.
Not to mention the blood flowing in his body, just the technique he practices is of the Ge Ancestor lineage. At this moment of survival, if he goes back, although there are risks, there is also great fate.
"Uncle Juexing has already met Chu Zhenren to plead guilty," Ge Shuangxiu threw out a piece of news.
"What was the result?" Zhang Fan asks.
"Chu Zhenren said that this matter will be left at that and will not implicate the Ge family because of this, and he instructed to bring back the remains of the two old Celestial Masters of the Ge family for a thick burial," Ge Shuangxiu sighs.
"Pure Yang Zhenren's magnanimity is truly greater than the sky," Zhang Fan whispers in a deep voice.
"However..." Ge Shuangxiu's topic shifts, and he suddenly says.
"However what?" Zhang Fan asks subconsciously.
"Chu Zhenren said that the Xuanxuan Golden Pill must remain on Zhenwu Mountain."
"Xuanxuan Golden Pill!?"
Zhang Fan's heart stirred; that was the Pure Yang Dharma treasure left by the Ge clan, which was taken into Chu Chaoran's pocket on the Golden Summit that night.
Losing the Pure Yang Dharma treasure is equivalent to completely losing the foundation of inheriting the incense.
"Chu Zhenren said that he does not wish to see the Ge clan's Dharma lineage covered in dust and cut off. Within fifteen years, if the Ge Ancestor has a successor, they can go up to Zhenwu Mountain to welcome back the Xuanxuan Golden Pill."
"Has a successor? What does that mean? How is it defined?" Zhang Fan asks.
"Three Tian Shi Great Realm!" Ge Shuangxiu's expression is solemn as he spits out these four words.
"No wonder..."
Zhang Fan realizes, looking deeply at Ge Shuangxiu.
No wonder Ge Juexing found Ge Shuangxiu and strongly urged him to go back.
Although Chu Chaoran Zhenren will not pursue the Ge family's crime, the impact was too bad after all, and everyone saw it in their eyes.
The current Ge family is already a rat crossing the street; although it is not to the point where everyone shouts to beat them, it is also a situation where everyone avoids them for fear of trouble.
For a long time, the development of the Ge family will be restricted, and many industries and forces will have to be abandoned; it is more than a hundred times worse than the Qiu family!?
The Ge family's only advantage is that among the younger generation of disciples, an extraordinary seedling has emerged.
Whether it is Ge Chang'an or Ge Shuangxiu, both have practiced the highest secret technique of the Ge clan's Nine Secrets, inviting the thirty-six great immortals.
Both of them have the opportunity to comprehend the Three Tian Shi Great Realm.
Therefore, the direction of the Ge family for the next twenty years is to cultivate these two people at all costs.
Ge Shuangxiu going back at this time is indeed his opportunity and fate.
However...
"Stepping into the Three Tian Shi Great Realm in fifteen years is too difficult," Zhang Fan sighs.
Don't look at the fact that Ge Shuangxiu is already in the Great Being Realm; above that, there is 【Zhai Shou】, there is 【Guan Zhu】, and only by taking another step forward can one reach Three Tian Shi.
Fifteen years to cross three major realms?
Once successful, how old would he be then? Just over forty.
A Three Tian Shi just over forty is too few, too few.
This is almost something that cannot be done by human power.
"Man proposes, God disposes," a different kind of brilliance flashes in Ge Shuangxiu's eyes.
