The world seems to be peaceful, but in fact there are undercurrents, and the same is true in the spiritual world.

As the first person in the world, the Taoist sect leader Zichen Xiaju flew through the Heavenly Gate, from a living immortal to a heavenly immortal, and at the same time, as the head of all the peak masters, the Tianshu Peak Lord Qingchen rebelled against the sect, as a result, the originally powerful Dao Sect fell into an unprecedented decline, and Tianchen presided over many matters in the sect on his behalf.

The disadvantage is that after Qingchen left the Dao Sect, Qiu Ye, who had been abolished as the first disciple, returned to Du Tianfeng, although he had not yet taken over the position of the head of the sect, he had resumed his status as the first disciple and began to re-participate in the internal affairs of the Dao Sect.

Another point is that in the battle before ascending to the sky, the real person of the Sect Sect used the method of three calamities to severely damage Mu Guan, Diao Yin and Qingchen, and let the Great Sword Immortal Shangguan Xianchen hurt the root, at this time, the four great masters are probably still healing, and they can't take care of the general trend of the world at all. This invisibly gave the Dao Sect a chance to breathe, in terms of the Taoist Sect's thousand-year heritage, it is not difficult to make up for the vacancy with a few more great real people, it just takes time.

All Tianfeng Tianchi.

The water of Tianchi is very clear, and under the light of the sky without white clouds, it can be called a blue sky.

The two of them were boating on the top of the Heavenly Pond, and not far away was the majestic Dao Palace, but with the ascension of the real person in charge, this place was temporarily empty, waiting for the next master.

A young Taoist in a green robe sat at the stern of the boat and shook the oars with his own hands, making a circle of ripples on the water. A middle-aged Taoist in a black robe sat at the bow of the boat, looking down at the deep and invisible Tianchi, his voice was flat, and he said: "Senior Brother Commander had already expected that Qingchen would rebel against the Dao Sect before going down the mountain, so he asked me to take this opportunity to lower you down the mountain, and at the same time uproot Qingchen's power in the sect. I did both. But the senior brother in charge missed a little, he didn't expect Shangguan Xianchen, who had always relied on his own force and disdained the treacherous way, to learn to act, and cooperated with Diao Yin to play a bitter trick and deceived everyone. As a result, the elder brother could no longer stay in the world for a long time, and had to soar to the boundless mystical world. ”

The young Taoist said in a low voice: "Before the ascension, the master once traveled thousands of miles and met me. ”

The two of them were the current head of the Dao Sect, Tianchen, the peak master, and the first disciple, Qiuye, Tianchen asked, "What did the senior brother say?"

Autumn leaves said softly: "Shizun said, Uncle Shi, you are the only one who is expected to reach the top." ”

As the head of the Dao Sect, the peak master but he didn't like to deal with all kinds of matters, Tianchen said with a smile: "In terms of cultivation, I am confident that in another thirty years, I will be able to be not inferior to the original master brother, but when it comes to power and calculation and taking charge of this great Dao sect, I will not be able to compare to the master brother in another hundred years." ”

Qiu Ye, who was already about to enter the half-step free realm, said: "Now the Dao Sect needs a master who can compete with Shangguan Xianchen after recovering from his injury. ”

Tianchen shook his head and said, "It's far away, I still need ten years of hard work to reach Shangguan Xianchen's realm today." Although I have the Linglong Pagoda, Shangguan Xianchen also has the Zhuxian Sword, one attack and one defense offset each other, in the final analysis, we still have to fight for their own true cultivation. ”

As he spoke, a golden pagoda appeared above Tianchen's head, and the aura of Xuanhuang fell, and the weather was myriad.

Qiu Ye sighed and said: "The Thunder Pool Great Array and the Dutian Seal were left to Xiao Yu by the master, if there are these two treasures, there is no fighting power." ”

Tianchen was silent for a moment, and said with a smile: "I heard that Xiao Yu single-handedly killed the old ghost of the Prairie Witch Sect, and he was another celestial man killing the earth immortal, it seems that the battle between Xiao Yu and Xiao Lie will not be far away." ”

Akiba was silent.

Tianchen suddenly asked, "Can you afford this huge Dao Sect?"

Qiu Ye was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Not for the time being, at least not now, I still need a little time." ”

Tianchen then asked, "How long?"

Akiba's eyes were resolute, "When I set foot in the realm of freedom." ”

――

Compared to the lonely and bleak scene of the Dao Sect on Dutian Peak, the Sword Sect located overseas was not much better.

"Sword Emperor" Zhang Chongguang died at the hands of the great real person Weichen, the sect master Shangguan Xianchen was hit hard by the Taoist sect Zichen who had soared, and the three major dantian in the body were severely injured, and the whole body qi was reversed, that is, Shangguan Xianchen, even if others did not die, they would have to abolish their cultivation, but Shangguan Xianchen was not comfortable, and after returning to the Sword Sect, he began to retreat to recuperate, and he is still in retreat.

Naturally, inside and outside the Sword Sect, it is not surprising that people's hearts fluctuate.

Biyou Island, sword qi volley.

There is a portrait of the Sword Sect Patriarch hanging in the hall, which was painted by a Danqing Holy Hand of the Murong clan back then, and the Sword Patriarch on the portrait is dressed in a stone blue wide-sleeved robe, wearing a high crown, his expression is calm and peaceful, sitting on a chair, with a three-foot Qingfeng on his knees. The ancestor of the Murong family back then was known as the sword painting, so there was sword intent in this painting, and every time a disciple of the Sword Sect saw this painting for the first time, he would be photographed by the majestic sword intent in it, and he couldn't help himself.

There is a futon under the portrait, which is where the suzerain sits.

There were dozens of futons on each side of the hall, but at this time, they were all as empty as the futons where the sect master was, only a man and a woman sat on the two futons at the end.

The man looked at the portrait of the Sword Sect Patriarch for a long time, then turned his head, put his gaze on the woman's body, and asked, "I heard that Ye Qiu has returned to the Dao Sect again?"

The woman's face was expressionless, "Since you already know, why do you bother to ask me." ”

The man fell into deep thought, and after a long time, he spoke again: "I admire him very much, and anyway, he has the last laugh after all." ”

The man paused, and continued with a three-point smile: "And the willingness to let go of Her Royal Highness the princess, who has been engaged to him since childhood, and the eldest lady of the Murong family, who is a childhood sweetheart, is really magnificent." ”

This pair of men and women is Gongsun Zhongmou and Zhang Xueyao, who are regarded by many Sword Sect disciples as a match made in heaven, and Zhang Xueyao did not say a word in the face of Gongsun Zhongmou's ridiculous words.

Gongsun Zhongmou, who has been living in seclusion since the incident of the Red Lady of the Prairie, said leisurely: "Ye Qiu, Qiu Ye, maybe it won't be long before he becomes the new head of the Dao Sect, and he will become the sect master of the Sword Sect before me, and before you become the monarch of the country." ”

Zhang Xueyao said softly: "What's the use of talking about these now, it's too late after all." ”

Gongsun Zhongmou closed his eyes and sighed softly: "Among our peers, there are those who have gone far, such as Xiao Yu and Qiu Ye, who are already the masters of a clan and a land at a young age, and they have truly participated in the general trend of the world. There is a bucket of water that is less than half a bucket of water, you, me, Qin Mumian, Lan Yu, Wanyan Beiyue, Xiao Jin, Qiuyue, and Qiusi are all in this list, at most, the water in the bucket is deep and shallow, and in essence, it is actually the same. There are also those who cut off their futures, Lin Yinping and Murong Xuan are examples, but they have found a good man, and they may be higher than us in terms of status in the future. Of course, the worst end is still the early death, Mo Feng, Wang Dongle, Qin Quan and others, nothing more.

Zhang Xueyao looked at Gongsun Zhongmou, frowned slightly, and asked, "After saying so much, what do you want to say?"

Gongsun Zhongmou smiled and said softly: "It's very simple, I just want to fill my bucket of water quickly, and at the worst I have to fill it to the level of Lan Yu and Xiao Jin, and the next time I see the old people, I will have some confidence." ”

Zhang Xueyao suddenly clenched the hilt of the white sword that was on her lap, and said word by word: "Are you trying to emulate Qingchen?"

Gongsun Zhongmou shook his head and said, "It's just to learn about autumn leaves." ”

Zhang Xueyao stared at Gongsun Zhongmou, and her right hand holding the hilt of the sword did not move.

Gongsun Zhongmou sat down peacefully, facing Zhang Xueyao, who had already made a gesture of drawing his sword, raised his hand and pressed it down, his expression calm, "Princess Zhang, Senior Sister Zhang, don't be excited, you listen to me finish speaking first, if I finish speaking, you still think I'm wrong, and it's not too late to draw my sword at that time." ”

Zhang Xueyao was silent for a moment, and then slowly let go of her right hand holding the hilt of the sword, but there was still a wary look on her face, and she said coldly: "Say." ”

Gongsun Zhongmou touched his delicate beard, which was already three inches under his chin, and asked, "Do you think it is possible for our Sword Sect to defeat the Dao Sect? Back then, the ancestor who subdued the twenty-four Great True Masters with one sword was only a draw, but in our generation, is it really possible?"
