Chapter 682: When the Fa Enters the Ruins, It Becomes Fa Tian; the Gui Land Is a Blessed Land (combined)

Early the next morning, Li Yuan went to Qi Yun's lesser grotto-heaven at his invitation.

The forging of a Fa Tian was self-evidently significant for a cultivator—it was the foundation of longevity—and as a rule, one ought to invite a host of close friends to witness the Fa Tian together.

"Senior Brother Tong, Senior Brother Qian."

Before Li Yuan had even entered the grotto-heaven, he spotted Tong Tong Heihu and Qian Wangsun standing shoulder to shoulder, and cupped his hands in greeting.

"Junior Brother Li."

The two returned the courtesy in their own way, then entered the cave dwelling together with Li Yuan.

Along the way, the two spoke of their experiences over the past few months: when a Fa Tian first takes shape, it is like a lone lamp in the darkness, and will inevitably draw the covetous attention of the many Gui Lands and Gui Demons lurking within the Ruins.

The higher the Fa Tian is raised, the more covetous gazes it will attract.

"Senior Brother Qi has deep foundations; by rights he could have raised his Fa Tian to the third heaven, but for the sake of stability he chose to halt it at the upper reaches of the first heaven, so that he could advance or retreat as he pleased."

Qian Wangsun was a talker, and recounted quite a few secrets of the Fa Tian Jing, as well as how the three of them had spent the past months helping Qi Yun fend off sudden Gui Land raids.

Li Yuan naturally listened in silence and committed it to memory.

The step from Fa Fa Jie to Fa Tian was an exceedingly special one: the Fa Fa Jie had to be cast outward from within, settling into the Ruins—only then did it become a Fa Tian!

"When the Fa enters the Ruins, it becomes Fa Tian; when a man reaches this realm, he at last becomes a god. Senior Brother Qi has crossed this realm—he can already live long and gaze eternal!"

Tong Tong Heihu was rather envious. He himself had ascended to the Fifth Realm many years ago, but was still a stretch short of the peak, and his foundations were not yet sufficient to weather the Dao Tribulation.

"The Dao Tribulation is hard to weather."

Qian Wangsun sighed as well. Though he stood at the peak of the Fifth Realm, he truly had no confidence in crossing the Dao Tribulation.

Li Yuan, for his part, listened in silence.

But though he said nothing, he was just as envious—because a Fa Tian was the road to longevity.

In the three years since he had joined Mount Mount Dongxuan, he had borrowed and read no small number of texts on longevity, and gained much from them.

Living beings had finite lifespans; even that Divine Emperor who had once founded the Origin Divine Dynasty had lived no more than a little over twenty thousand years. When one's lifespan drew to a close, one had either to break through the limits of heaven and earth and live another life—

or else retreat into the Ruins and endure through the incense and thoughts of all living beings.

And compared to living out a second life, the path of forging a Fa Tian was naturally far steadier: even when one's lifespan had ended, so long as the Fa Tian did not perish and the incense did not die out, one could endure within the Ruins—merely finding it hard to re-enter the present world, that was all.

In fact, the layout of the myriad heavens and domains was also tied to this.

The many grotto-heavens and holy lands, and even the reason why the Weitian Dao Sect had to take in disciples generation after generation, were likewise for the sake of keeping the incense unbroken.

'Fa Tian—take disciples.'

Li Yuan's thoughts churned within, yet he merely listened quietly to the two men's conversation.

Before long, the three arrived at Qi Yun's cave dwelling, and looked up to see Wei Wang Xuanying with a sword case on his back.

"Junior Brother Wei actually arrived this early?"

Tong Tong Heihu glanced with some surprise at the sword case on his back: "Don't you need to nurture your sword?"

"Witness the Fa Tian first, then nurture the sword."

Wei Wang Xuanying was sparing with words.

"All are here."

Qi Yun opened his eyes at just the right moment. With a single flick of his sleeve, everyone was seized by a momentary daze, feeling the light and shadows around them shift as though they were plummeting and streaking through the air at tremendous speed.

After several breaths, Li Yuan finally felt his five senses return. Looking up, he was immediately somewhat astonished.

Boundless earth, rolling mountains, surging rivers, towering great trees, spirit fields, Dao Soldiers, spirit puppets, divine furnaces…

It was exactly the Fa Fa Jie of Qi Yun that he had seen before.

At first glance, apart from the scars left by the Tribulation Crossing, it seemed no different from the Fa Fa Jie as it had been.

But the moment he focused his spirit, Li Yuan sensed something amiss. He saw the edge of the Fa Fa Jie—beyond the faint azure light lay a darkness as deep as ink.

And the light here came from the Profound Vine Divine Tree standing at the center of the Fa Tian. Within its crown, he saw eight radiant golden 'suns.'

The eight 'suns' swayed gently with the wind in the leaves, radiating a thick, brilliant light that illuminated the entire Fa Tian.

"That is—golden nature?"

From that distant glimpse alone, Li Yuan sensed an aura of perfection and incorruptibility, and had already guessed what those eight sun-shaped fruits were.

"Hiss—"

Suddenly, Li Yuan heard a strange sound. Following the noise with his eyes, he saw a ferocious, hideous bird plunge into the Fa Tian at its edge, and in an instant be pierced through by a tree vine and pinned dead to the ground.

A squad of 'Azure-Armored Dao Soldiers' marched briskly past, expertly skinning and dismembering it, and sending it off to where the divine furnace stood.

"After the Tribulation Crossing, the Fa Tian's array-restrictions were damaged; from time to time, fish that slipped through the net would charge into the Fa Tian, and one had to remain on guard at all times, not daring to leave lightly. That is why I did not come out to greet the four junior brothers in person."

Beneath the Profound Vine Divine Tree, Qi Yun smiled and offered his apologies.

"The Fa Tian takes precedence—between the likes of us, what talk is there of greeting?"

"Senior Brother is too courteous."

The four naturally smiled and waved it off.

Beneath the great tree there were already tables and chairs, grown from the ground and of one body with the Profound Vine Divine Tree. After the few took their seats, squads of spirit puppets filed in one after another, bearing all manner of rare delicacies.

Li Yuan was startled at the sight—the essence within these spirit-feasts was practically overflowing; one glance told him their grade was very high.

"These wouldn't happen to be Gui Beasts, would they?"

Tong Tong Heihu was somewhat curious.

"Nonsense!"

Before Qi Yun could answer, Qian Wangsun had already glared at him: "How could Senior Brother Qi possibly serve Gui Beasts to you and me?"

"Naturally they are not Gui Beasts."

Qi Yun shook his head, then cast a glance at Li Yuan:

"Junior Brother Li may not know this—though You Jing Gui Beasts do possess flesh, bone, and blood, and can be eaten after refinement, these Gui Beasts are typically transformed from a cultivator's essence, qi, and spirit. A proper cultivator does not eat them."

"So that is how it is."

Li Yuan's heart suddenly understood.

"After a strange beast dies, if it isn't dealt with in time, it will quickly return to the strange land, so in the various realms there's no need to fear eating strange beast meat."

Qi Yun was in a very good mood. He beckoned the few to pick up their chopsticks and also spoke of the origins of this spread of dishes—it turned out that during his Tribulation Crossing, the spirit beasts he had raised suffered massive casualties.

'Fourth or fifth-tier spirit beast flesh and blood?'

Li Yuan's mind stirred, considering buying some later.

Although the Fourth Lu had failed, he still held tremendous expectations for the 'Patriarch.'

But soon he set aside his distracting thoughts. The spirit cuisine on this table was at least fourth-realm spirit beast meat; with his current physique, eating just a few pieces brought considerable benefit.

"The ingredients for this pot of Dark Vine wine are sixth-realm Dark Vine tree sap, left behind when the Dark Vine tree was injured during Tribulation Crossing. Junior brothers, you may sample and appraise it."

Qi Yun took out a pot of wine and ordered the spirit puppets to fill the cups for the few.

"That truly is fine wine!"

Tong Tong Heihu's eyes lit up. He was quite fond of drinking; wine brewed from sixth-realm spirit materials, he had only drunk it a few times.

"Drink!"

Qi Yun raised his cup, and everyone together toasted once more: 'May Senior Brother achieve Heaven-Attaining.'

"Come, drink!"

"Bottoms up!"

Li Yuan refused none that came his way. The spirit cuisine on this table benefited him the most, especially the Dark Vine wine. After the sixth-realm Dark Vine wine went down his belly, even the Dark Vine tree in his divine realm was stretching its branches and leaves, growing more than twenty zhang.

Seeing the benefit, he naturally drank several cups in a row. The intense wood-attribute essence left him exhilarated, and his Qing Emperor magic power became even more pure.

During the feast, Tong Tong Heihu and Qian Wangsun were the most lively, sometimes pulling Qi Yun to clink cups, sometimes asking about the secrets of Heaven-Attaining. The latter had no objection and gave a detailed account.

When his enthusiasm peaked, he even activated the Dark Vine Divine Tree and gave an on-the-spot demonstration.

Later, perhaps realizing Li Yuan was also present, he began again from entering the realm, speaking all the way through his Dao Tribulation Crossing, the recommendation for Heaven-Attaining, and the many attacks by strange lands.

At great length, he spoke for a full day and two nights, still somewhat unsatisfied.

After he finished speaking, Tong Tong Heihu, whose enthusiasm for drinking had been roused, also began to recount his own path of cultivation.

Just as Li Yuan had guessed before, Tong Tong Heihu was a body-cultivating cultivator, though only as a secondary practice.

The fundamental method he primarily cultivated was named the 'Great White Extreme Force Canon,' a canon-tier cultivation technique. The body-cultivation methods he practiced alongside numbered in the dozens.

Although their grades were not high, they had been combined into a body-cultivation Gu Gu Shentong named 'Tai Yue Zhen Gang Body,' whose might was extremely great.

When his enthusiasm peaked, he personally activated this Gu Gu Shentong, projected his Heaven-Attaining form into the Ruins-Returning, and slaughtered two fifth-realm strange beasts. The display was tremendously grand.

"Tai Yue Zhen Gang!"

Li Yuan focused his spirit and watched this battle.

After Tong Tong Heihu activated Tai Yue Zhen Gang, he nearly ignored the spells of those strange beasts. His body moved like a Rushan shifting; a few shifts and he smashed them into pulp—fierce in the extreme.

By his estimation, when he activated the Gu Gu Shentong, his physique was already close to the strength of a divine treasure. Ordinary spells could not break through his Gu Gu Shentong, and naturally could not touch his physique.

"Quite different from the body cultivators I imagined—requires activating a Gu Gu Shentong..."

Li Yuan committed what he had seen to memory.

After Tong Tong Heihu, Qian Wangsun and Wei Wang Xuanying also took turns recounting and demonstrating their arts. Contrary to his expectations, Qian Wangsun turned out to be a sword cultivator as well.

The only difference was that Qian Wangsun cultivated only one natal flying sword.

Wei Wang Xuanying, on the other hand, had refined nine flying swords, among which the main sword, the 'Miao Shan Xuan Sword,' was unmistakably a divine treasure, and its grade was already faintly approaching that of an upper-grade divine treasure!

"Two paths of sword cultivation."

After watching the few demonstrate their arts, Li Yuan felt the harvest was tremendous. He naturally sighed in admiration repeatedly and offered thanks, but limited by his realm and means, he truly could not demonstrate before the four senior brothers who were all above the fifth realm.

The few smiled, not minding in the slightest.

Master Li, however, noted it down deeply, resolving that one day when he refined great spell Gu Gu Shentong, he would definitely invite Qi Yun and the others—all of them, not a single one missing!

"Junior Brother Li should already have refined Qing Emperor magic power, yes?"

Qi Yun suddenly spoke, drawing the other three to also set down their wine cups, their expressions surprised.

Among the four of them, although only Qi Yun cultivated a scripture-tier fundamental method, they were all those who had refined upper-grade magic power, and naturally knew the difficulty of refining methods.

With Li Yuan's innate talent, refining upper-grade magic power was not worth being surprised at—but how long had it been since he joined the sect?

"Correct."

Li Yuan certainly would not conceal it, and raised his hand to release a wisp of Qing Emperor magic power.

"Junior Brother Li's innate talent is probably only slightly inferior to that Junior Brother Yu. Among this generation of inner disciples, there is absolutely no second person with your progress!"

Qian Wangsun was quite moved.

Before the last small gathering, they had also curiously inquired about information regarding Li Yuan, knowing his innate talent was extremely high, and that he was an inner disciple valued by De Fu Fa the Daoist. Naturally, they would not slight him in the slightest.

But in less than four years, from entering the Dao to the perfection of Unity, first refining Kun Peng magic power, then Qing Emperor magic power—this progress was somewhat excessively astonishing.

"Remarkable."

Wei Wang Xuanying, who was normally sparing with words, could not help but sigh in admiration: "I, Wei, in my day, attempted seven times and spent over twenty years before refining the 'Miao Shan Xuan magical power'—far inferior to Junior Brother Li."

"No wonder Master Master Fufa holds him in such high regard; Junior Brother Li truly possesses the aptitude of a true disciple!"

Tong Tong Heihu clapped his hands and sighed in admiration, unable to help glancing at Qian and Wei on either side: "In my view, in at most two hundred years, Junior Brother Li's realm will be able to catch up with ours!"

"I'm afraid it may not necessarily take two hundred years."

Qian Wangsun, however, shook his head: "You've all forgotten—Junior Brother has not yet had an audience with the Master. I've heard from hints dropped by a few inner disciples that that is the greatest fortune that distinguishes inner disciples from the likes of us!"

"This..." Tong Tong Heihu was stunned, full of envy: "Nearly eight hundred years since joining the sect, yet still no fate to meet the Master face to face... sigh, let's not speak of it."

"Come, drink one! Truly envious of me to death!"

Tong Tong Heihu, at the slightest disagreement, raised his cup.

Li Yuan repeatedly said 'Senior Brothers overpraise,' while cup after cup. The potency of the sixth-tier spirit wine was astonishing; he had actually become somewhat tipsy.

"Another one!"

Wei Wang Xuanying and Qian Wangsun couldn't help but raise their cups either.

"Drink!"

Seeing the few of them getting along so harmoniously, Qi Yun's mood instantly brightened, and he joined in as well.

He hadn't known Li Yuan for long, but he felt this junior brother suited his tastes perfectly — extremely high innate talent, valued by the true lineage senior brother, yet without the feigned easygoing self-importance of other inner disciples; a person worth befriending.

Perhaps it was his imagination, or perhaps it was because he had cultivated Qing Di Fa magic power and his natal spirit plant was the Xuanteng Tree — meeting him again this time, he always felt this junior brother was somewhat like himself…

……

One banquet lasted a full twelve days.

It wasn't until the thirteenth day, when a Strange Land came attacking, that the banquet finally ended.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Beneath the Xuanteng Divine Tree, Li Yuan gazed into the distance, seeing beyond the azure light array forbidden, rolling waves of air, which from time to time would stream into the Dharma Heaven and transform into rolling thunder.

This was his first time seeing cultivators of the Fifth Realm fight so directly.

He only saw that beyond the Dharma Heaven, all manner of wondrous sights manifested.

Qian Wangsun stood with his hands behind his back, Bai Guang weaving behind him, manifesting a forest of ten thousand swords. Taking the wondrous sights manifested by Yi Fa Fa Jie as foundation, all manner of sword Dao spells blanketed the sky, and Strange Beasts fell into the Dharma Heaven like rain.

Li Yuan focused his spirit to observe the battle.

In his perception, this didn't look like cultivators fighting each other, but more like two enormous nations colliding.

Qian Wangsun cultivated only one natal sword, yet possessed all manner of sword Dao spells. Standing motionless, his eyes observed in all directions, and all manner of spell arts came forth as he pleased.

At every instant, he would activate multiple spells, slaying Strange Beast after Strange Beast.

Tong Tong Heihu likewise did not employ body-tempering Gu Gu Shentong again, but similarly manifested an external Fa Fa Jie — it was a stretch of mountains. Within the Fa Fa Jie, mountains poured down like rain, drowning Strange Beast after Strange Beast.

Wei Wang Xuanying was different again. With a light press of his single arm, his sword case unfurled like a fan, and nine flying swords roamed the battlefield like nine divine dragons, plugging the gaps.

In the end, it was Qi Yun who struck. Through the Dharma Heaven, he flung out a long vine like a snake, separated by tens of thousands of li, and amid the frenzied obstruction of countless Strange Beasts and Strange Soldiers, he whipped that Strange Land clean in two.

"Rumble!"

Almost simultaneously, within the Dharma Heaven, the Xuanteng Divine Tree trembled violently, ten thousands of branches extending out like ten thousands of long dragons spreading forth, reaching tens of thousands of li away in an instant.

It bound the Strange Land that had been split in two, pulling it back into the Dharma Heaven. When it landed, even the Dharma Heaven trembled, and despite the array forbidden, several dozen Dashan collapsed and shattered.

"Good!"

Tong Tong Heihu shouted his approval, arriving before his voice did. Qian Wangsun and the other two also retracted their Fa Fa Jie and descended back beneath the Xuanteng Divine Tree.

"This is a Zuo Wu Jing Strange Land, isn't it?"

Qian Wangsun was quite surprised: "Before, when over ten Fifth Realm Strange Lands came together, we could only barely resist. Why is it that this time just one came alone?"

"Strange Beasts aren't Strange Demons — they only have instinct, no intelligence. Nothing they do is strange."

Looking at the Strange Land being gathered by the many Dao Soldiers, Qi Yun was in excellent spirits: "Coming alone is better. With this one Strange Land, it might just make up for what I lack in Tribulation Crossing!"

A Fifth Realm Strange Land is at least the Fa Fa Jie left behind after a Fifth Realm cultivator's fall — even for him, it was quite valuable.

As long as he refined the Zhong De You Jing Qi within, he could merge it into his Dharma Heaven and make up for his damaged origin.

"Senior brother's fortune is astonishing!"

Wei Wang Xuanying said.

"It was all you junior brothers who helped me. Otherwise, I might not have been able to withstand that encirclement and killing over a month ago. Even if I'd been lucky enough to survive it, I'd have no strength left to capture this Fifth Realm Strange Land now."

Qi Yun cupped his hands in thanks: "Once the Dao Soldiers finish gathering, if any of you junior brothers have your eye on something, just take it!"

"Then I won't stand on ceremony!"

Tong Tong Heihu and the other two were also unceremonious, gazing into the distance beneath the tree.

"Strange Lands can strengthen the Dharma Heaven?"

Li Yuan silently noted this point, while sorting through what he had seen and heard.

He saw that at the spot where the Strange Land had fallen, squad after squad of Dao Soldiers gathered, slaying Strange Beast after Strange Beast, collecting the many treasures within the Strange Land — things like damaged Dao Soldiers, Strange Beast corpses, Strange Soldier remnants, and the like.

……

Half a day later, beneath the Xuanteng Tree.

Squad after squad of armored Dao Soldiers filed in, and all manner of spirit materials piled up like small hills.

Dao Soldiers, spirit puppets, and dharma treasure fragments were everywhere. What was more abundant, naturally, were the Gu Gu Shentong Seeds dropped after slaying Strange Beasts and Strange Soldiers.

"A complete Fifth Realm Strange Land!"

Sensing the interwoven treasure light before his eyes, Li Yuan clicked his tongue in wonder.

A complete Fifth Realm Strange Land was of extremely high value. According to the records in the Grand Void Myriad Phenomena, when converted into cultivation resources, it would be enough to supply a cultivator of decent innate talent from the First Realm all the way to the Fourth Realm.

With good fortune, it might even be enough to cultivate to the Fifth Realm!

Not to mention all these Gu Gu Shentong Seeds as well.

"If one's fortune is good enough, refining all the Gu Gu Shentong Seeds would let one inherit at least half of the spells and Gu Gu Shentong the master of this Strange Land possessed in life!"

"No wonder those You Jing Seekers risk their lives — the benefits are truly astonishing."

Li Yuan calculated briefly in his heart, feeling he had still underestimated the Xing Xing Tongyou Corridor.

However…

A thought stirred in his heart as he sensed the Ying Mo Shen within the Xing Xing Tongyou Corridor. Twelve days had passed, yet that Ying Mo Shen still hadn't reached the end of the corridor…

"Junior Brother Li, you pick one too."

At this moment, Qi Yun suddenly spoke.

"Ah?"

Li Yuan was somewhat tempted.

Within the five-realm strange lands, good things naturally abounded — not to mention Gu Gu Shentong seeds, Dao soldiers, spirit puppets, and even the Gu Juan Fa treasures left behind by the original owners, all of excellent grade.

But he still shook his head and refused: "I have done nothing to deserve such a gift. I appreciate Senior Brother's kind intentions."

"Junior Brother need not stand on ceremony."

Qi Yun tried again with a wry smile, but Li Yuan only shook his head and refused.

"Junior Brother Li is still a bit thin-skinned."

At this moment, Tong Tong Heihu, having finished his selection, walked over, laughing as he patted his shoulder: "If it were me, I'd shamelessly pick a few first before anything else."

Saying so, he casually stuffed a Gu Gu Shentong seed into Li Yuan's hand:

"This isn't something you picked — it's a meeting gift from your senior brother. Surely you can't refuse this too!"

"This... thank you, Senior Brother."

Li Yuan was no prude. He had politely declined Qi Yun only because he didn't want Tong Tong Heihu and the others to feel displeased. Now he naturally bowed in thanks and accepted it with both hands.

"A meeting gift — everyone gets a share."

Qian Wangsun also handed over a Gu Gu Shentong seed: "Junior Brother can't only acknowledge your Senior Brother Tong, can you? If that's how it is, once you advance to True Transmission in the future, this Senior Brother won't have the face to come mooch drinks."

"What are you saying, Senior Brother?"

Li Yuan hurriedly thanked him and reached out to take it.

"Mine."

Wei Wang Xuanying was concise as ever, also handing over a Gu Gu Shentong seed. His tone was calm, yet carried a note of refusal being unacceptable.

"Thank you, Senior Brother."

Li Yuan naturally reached out to take it. A sidelong glance told him these three Gu Gu Shentong seeds were all of excellent quality, very likely containing a complete spell within.

"What, won't you take mine?"

Qi Yun feigned anger and gave Li Yuan a push: "Go on, pick two. I, Qi, am a dignified Fa Tian Jing cultivator — I must outdo those three!"

"Then, Junior Brother will not refuse such courtesy!"

Li Yuan immediately stopped being polite and walked toward the pile of Rushan spirit items. Before long, he had picked out two and returned.

'Junior Brother Li really is thin-skinned!'

Seeing that he had only picked two broken spirit treasures, Tong Tong Heihu couldn't help grumble inwardly, yet also felt that this Junior Brother Li was neither greedy nor contentious — quite the bearing of a true cultivator.

Qian Wangsun and Wei Wang Xuanying exchanged a glance and both nodded subtly.

Although they didn't mind this Junior Brother Li picking spoils, had he truly chosen those few treasures they had silently reserved for Qi Yun, they might not have said anything, but in their hearts they would have had to reassess whether this junior brother was worth befriending.

But seeing him pick only two broken spirit treasures, they felt he was being overly polite.

"You, this is also..."

Seeing this, Qi Yun could only shake his head helplessly. He wanted to have him pick one more, but the latter had already bowed:

"Many thanks to all my senior brothers for bestowing treasures!"

"Enough!"

Rolling up his sleeves to collect the piled spirit items, Qi Yun said with a solemn expression: "Junior Brother is going to forge a divine palace. I have some small insights on this matter — you might as well listen..."

Li Yuan's expression grew serious, and he listened quietly.

……

"Senior Brother Qi has a keen eye for talent. This Junior Brother Li is indeed a true Dao seed."

After watching Li Yuan depart, inside the cave dwelling, Qian Wangsun spoke with considerable approval: "Even if he lacks the aptitude for True Transmission, he is still a person worth befriending."

"Strange to say, I always feel Junior Brother Li's aura is quite similar to Senior Brother Qi's, and I can't help but feel a natural fondness for him. Could it be because of Qing Di Fa magic power?"

Tong Tong Heihu looked at Qi Yun with some puzzlement.

"Indeed very similar."

Wei Wang Xuanying expressed his agreement.

"I once saw that Gu Shan Xuan Sheng — that man also cultivated the Qing Di Longevity Scripture, yet where did he bear the slightest resemblance to Senior Brother Qi?"

Qian Wangsun, however, shook his head:

"This has little to do with Qing Di Fa magic power."

"Perhaps Junior Brother Li truly shares some karmic affinity with me. Before I advanced to Fa Tian Jing, I was unknown in the mountains, yet Junior Brother Li specifically sought me out to ask about the Qing Di Longevity Scripture..."

Qi Yun smiled, but did not dwell on this. Instead, he said in a low voice:

"I won't hide it from the three of you, fellow junior brothers. Yesterday, while performing rites, I heard the Master's decree."

"The Master's decree?"

The others were all startled and instinctively rose to their feet.

"Yes, the Master's decree!"

Qi Yun bowed toward Mount Mount Dongxuan, then said:

"The Master's decree orders me to find a place within the San Yuan Fa Jie domain to establish a grand mountain gate, widely accept disciples, spread the name of our Dong Shan Xuan Fa, and make preparations for an unspeakable great matter..."

"An unspeakable great matter?"

The expressions of Qian Wangsun and the others all changed.

"You fellow junior brothers should know that although our Weitiandao Sect holds a transcendent position, we are also greatly watched with wariness by the sects and sacred lands of the various domains. Once we appear in the world to spread the Dharma, disputes will surely arise..."

"Therefore, I must ask my fellow junior brothers to lend me a hand!"
