Chapter 1202
Zhang Xiaohua's Beidou school was newly built and only had a few junior sisters and disciples. It was still far from being a big school, so of course, she didn't know about the news in Jianghu. While she trained her disciples, she also hoped that the various sects in Jianghu would work together to attack the Tenryū Sect!
Back to the Yaoshan Immortal Abode, Zhang Xiaohua used the Immortal's Guardian Spirit Stele to set up a Spirit Gathering Array in the palace where the Phoenix had undergone nirvana. It gathered the Qi of Heaven and Earth drifting within the Immortal Abode, as well as the Qi of Heaven and Earth in the air above Yaoshan. The concentration of Qi of Heaven and Earth in the palace increased by the day.
A month's time wasn't long, but it wasn't short either.
For the Misty School, it was just a short period of recuperation and preparation.
But for the Beidou school, this month's time was absolutely crucial. It was an earth-shattering change.
For the people of Jianghu, the Path of Immortality was an ethereal and wonderful hope. There was an insurmountable gap between the Path of Martial Arts and the Path of Immortality. In order to overcome this gap, the various sects in Jianghu racked their brains to find a smooth path to the Path of Immortality. The Path of Immortality's Incense Sect, the Dalin Temple, and the Alliance of Righteousness's Path of Martial Arts set aside their personal grudges and joined hands to prepare a secret location, hoping to find a way to inherit the Path of Immortality in the secret location!
All of this was because of the Qi of Heaven and Earth. The lack of Qi of Heaven and Earth was the main culprit behind the Path of Immortality ten thousand years ago.
With the support of Zhang Xiaohua's Spirit Gathering Array and the gradual recovery of Qi of Heaven and Earth, the Beidou school of Yaoshan Immortal Abode seized the opportunity to rise to the top of the Path of Immortality!
Especially with the discovery of the Peiyuan Pill, it was like Zhang Xiaohu's dantian had Yang Haoya's True Yuan. It allowed the Beidou school's disciples to have their first strand of True Qi in their dantians when they first started cultivating the Carefree Sutra. They were also able to sense Qi of Heaven and Earth at the first moment. What was difficult for others to draw Qi into their bodies was too easy for them!
"Could it be that … in ancient times, stepping into the Path of Immortality … was an extremely simple matter?
Or is it that the six disciples of my Beidou school are all rare talents? "
Zhang Xiaohua looked at the disciples sitting cross-legged under the Spirit Gathering Array. She pinched the beard that had grown out of their chins and fell into deep thought.
Under the Five Elements Spirit Gathering Array, Zhang Xiaohua's disciples, with the exception of Zhang Bairen who was still lying down and sleeping, were all sitting cross-legged, pretending to be serious in their cultivation!
Nie Qianyu was the first disciple Zhang Xiaohua had taught the first level of the Carefree Sutra. Nie Qianyu had already started cultivating diligently when Zhang Xiaohua was spreading the scourge of the Incense Cult. However … the Qi of Heaven and Earth in Rejuvenation Valley was still limited. Although Nie Qianyu could sense Qi of Heaven and Earth, the amount of Qi that she could draw into her body was still very small. She was far from being able to refine it into True Qi.
Under the Spirit Gathering Array, there was sufficient Qi of Heaven and Earth to draw in. In addition, there was also a strand of True Qi formed by the Peiyuan Pill in her dantian. Under such circumstances, Nie Qianyu could easily draw the Qi of Heaven and Earth into her body and refine it into her first strand of True Qi!
Before this, Zhang Xiaohua had also given Nie Qianyu a Meridian Nourishing Pill, which had perfectly refined Nie Qianyu's meridians. This was like adding wings to a tiger. Nie Qianyu had become the first disciple of Beidou school to set foot on the Immortal Dao, and this … had only taken Nie Qianyu two days!
The second disciple to set foot on the Immortal Dao had exceeded Zhang Xiaohua's expectations. Zhang Xiaohua had originally thought that this person would be Shui Tiantian. Unexpectedly, the ordinary-looking Ji Xiaohua, who had never practiced martial arts, had never come into contact with internal energy, and had never been placed with high hopes, had set foot on the Immortal Dao fifteen days later than Nie Qianyu and three days earlier than Shui Tiantian!
This made Zhang Xiaohua go wild with joy. After all … this was still someone named Xiaohua. Zhang Xiaohua was happy to think that he could achieve such an achievement.
Seeing that Ji Xiaohua, who had no foundation in martial arts, had set foot on the Immortal Dao one step earlier than her, Shui Tiantian, who had always wanted to compete with Ji Xiaohua for the position of Senior Brother, became even more determined. However, it still took him twenty days to form his first strand of True Qi in his dantian.
In comparison, Qu Jing was neither hot nor cold. He set foot on the Immortal Dao on the twenty-second day.
When Qu Zhigao and Qu Jing's grandmother learned of this, they ran to a corner of the lake, drew a small circle, burned some paper, and kowtowed with tears streaming down their faces, as if to comfort the ancestors of the Qu family in the Immortal Dao!
After the young disciples set foot on the Immortal Dao, Ou Yan and Zhang Pinger showed no signs of breaking through for the time being. After another five days, on the twenty-seventh day, Ou Yan, who had no foundation in martial arts, set foot on the Immortal Dao before Zhang Pinger. Zhang Pinger took twenty-nine days to form her first strand of True Qi in her dantian!
Zhang Xiaohua thought of his discerning eyes and the fact that his disciples were all peerless talents. Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but feel proud. If he knew... that Peacock, Chen Chen, and Yuyan only had eighteen days to stay in the Inheritance Palace of the Incense Cult, and that the three of them also set foot on the path of immortality within the time limit, what would he think?
According to the rules of the Incense Cult, among these six disciples, only Nie Qianyu and Ji Xiaohua … could be considered to have truly inherited the Incense Cult?
And the other four were going to be eliminated?
And … Beidou school's Spirit Gathering Array … and Incense Cult's Spirit Gathering Array … was much stronger?
From this, one could see how important the Immortal Mansion … was to the three Immortal Dao sects. One could also understand why Master Tiangang, Reverend Shu Qing, and Reverend Hao Yun would risk their lives … in order to seize the Immortal Mansion … into their own hands.
This … if the Immortal Mansion was in the hands of the Incense Cult … wouldn't they be able to create many Immortal Dao disciples in a short period of time?
How could Reverend Jingyi be worried about her own inheritance?
As for the Incense Cult, Misty School, and Shendao Sect, the origin of the three Immortal Dao sects — what about the secret plane?
If the Incense Cult lost the Yaoshan Immortal Mansion, how could they not put all their energy into it?
Just as Zhang Xiaohua was happily watching the six disciples under the Spirit Gathering Array absorb the Spirit Gathering Array into their bodies, and Zhang Bairen was sleeping soundly. The World's Spirit Gathering Array was gradually being absorbed along with his breathing, and Little Black and Little Yellow were also using a strange posture beside him. The World's Spirit Gathering Array was slowly being inhaled and exhaled by the two little things. In the Nanzhao Town, which was hundreds of miles away from the secret plane, in the courtyard of a big family, Reverend Jingyi was sitting in a rather large central room, talking to Reverend Shu Qing, Reverend Xuezhen, Peacock, Chen Chen, and Yuyan.
Reverend Jingyi frowned slightly and whispered, "Yaoshan … Immortal Mansion … has there been no movement?"
"Reporting to the Sect Leader, since the day Ren Xiaoyao took back the steps to Immortal Mansion, they haven't been put down … and no one has come down from Yaoshan …" Reverend Xuezhen cupped her hands and said.
"Huh?
That guy … is actually practicing in seclusion? "Chen Chen cried.
"Not necessarily …" Reverend Jingyi shook her head and said, "Every time the steps to Immortal Mansion are used, the amount of World's Spirit Gathering Array is enormous. I think … if Ren Xiaoyao wants to enter and leave Immortal Mansion … there must be another simple way.
It's just that … as for what method, it's not something we can recklessly guess! "
"Sect Leader, didn't Ren Xiaoyao warn us?
Don't leave anyone near Yaoshan. If we eat the disciples of the Incense Cult and investigate nearby, I'm afraid we'll provoke him … and make him unhappy! "Peacock said worriedly.
"Hehe, it's not just the disciples of the Incense Cult who aren't afraid. The Dalin Temple, Between the Clouds and the Water, and the Righteous Alliance, which one of them didn't send spies?"
Reverend Jingyi waved her hand and said with a smile, "Even if Ren Xiaoyao finds out, we can just say that this disciple is a registered disciple of the Incense Cult. When he finds out, she has already been expelled from the cult. What she did at Yaoshan is her own behavior, it has nothing to do with the Incense Cult!"
"Hehe, Sect Leader is wise!" Chen Chen heard this and laughed. "That guy will have nothing to say!"
"Forget it, forget it. Let's not talk about Yaoshan and Beidou school anymore. We were at Yaoshan, we were so angry, we tore our faces apart, and we even sacrificed Junior Shu Jie's life, but we still didn't gain any advantage. Instead, some nameless guy got ahead of us. I really don't know how he managed to control the entire Immortal Mansion!" Reverend Shuqing waved her hand and said.
"That guy is the best at stepping on dog shit!" Chen Chen concluded.
"Oh right, Junior Xuezhen, is there any news from the Dalin Temple?"
"Sect Leader, ever since the monks of the Dalin Temple entered Baozhen, we couldn't find any trace of them. Our disciples didn't dare to go too deep, and after ten days of investigation, we still couldn't find any news!"
"Hehe, it's not a big deal. Who would've thought that the disciples of the Incense Cult have already returned to Dianchi Lake, and we can still stay in Nanzhao Town?
We'll just wait until tomorrow night, and the Dalin Temple will appear at Wuzhua Peak on time! "
"Sect Leader is wise, hiding in the city. That's right, I was thinking of finding a remote mountain village to settle down!"
"What about the Righteous Alliance?" Reverend Jingyi asked with a smile.
"The Evil Tiger Gang in this area seems to be a small branch of the Righteous Alliance. Wouldn't Alliance Leader Zhang San be like a fish in water here?
He's long gone! "Reverend Xuezhen laughed.
"Then... Misty School. What's Zhang Xiaohu doing?"
"Sect Leader, there's something strange about the Misty School."
Reverend Xuezhen looked confused. "I've sent disciples to inform Ming Qing and Gao Kunheng, but both of them said they were busy with internal affairs and couldn't come in person.
That's fine, I have some spies among the disciples of Wuming Hall, but... they also disappeared without a trace. There's no news at all! "
"It's really strange. Then... what about the immortal senior from the Misty School?
Is there any news? "
"No. My disciples didn't find anything useful. If it wasn't for my scruples … when we were in the secluded ground, I would have captured Li Jian and the others and asked them what had happened to the Ethereal Sect!"
"Please don't …" Reverend Jingyi hurriedly waved her hand and said, "To be able to restore the internal strength of Li Jian and thousands of other Misty School disciples … I'm afraid that even Master Tiangang of the Dalin Temple can't compare to this level of cultivation. At this juncture, we'd better hide!"
