Chapter 3565

Xiao Hua smiled and said, "It's a pity that I don't have the magic treasure you want, and I'm afraid that none of your Jindan disciples are suitable."

"My magic treasure was taken away by Leng Qingge. I'm afraid it's sealed somewhere in the Bronze Pillar State."

Li Xiang smiled bitterly, "After I recover my cultivation, I'll go to the Bronze Pillar State and maybe I can get it.

As for my useless Jindan disciples, let them find a few magic treasures to use first! "

"Hmm …" Xiao Hua nodded, "You can tell Xiao Yao about this and let him go to the auction to buy some suitable magic treasures."

"I know!"

Li Xiang nodded, and then Xiao Hua asked Liu Yi to call in Li Xiang's many disciples. Each disciple chose a magic treasure. These disciples, including the Jindan disciples, all had joy in their eyes. They all bowed and thanked Xiao Hua.

After the disciples left, Li Xiang returned the rest of the magic treasures to Xiao Hua and said, "Zhenren Xiao, I heard you say that you're going to the Yaotai Gathering. How much do you know about it?"

Xiao Hua slightly shakes his head: "I know very little about the Yaotai Gathering. Other than knowing that we Taoist cultivators must participate in the Yaotai Gathering if we want to be teachers of a country, here is the approximate location of the Yaotai Gathering."

"Hmm …" Li Xiang nodded, looked at Xiao Hua and said word by word, "If I hadn't been to the Black Cloud Ridge before, maybe I would've advised you to go to the Yaotai Gathering.

But look at the current situation of the Black Cloud Ridge, look at Zhenren Xiao's spirit of killing the State Preceptor of the Bronze Pillar State, and … I heard that Zhenren Xiao also erected a Daoist stone tablet in the Bronze Pillar State. I advise you not to go to the Yaotai Gathering and walk into a trap! "

"Ah?"

Xiao Hua was shocked. He knew that Li Xiang was the State Preceptor of the Li Kingdom and must've participated in the Yaotai Gathering. He wanted to ask for advice, but he didn't expect Li Xiang to advise him not to go. He also said that the Yaotai Gathering was a trap, which really confused him.

"What does Zhenren Li mean?" Xiao Hua asked in a low voice.

"To tell you the truth, Zhenren Xiao, when I went to the Yaotai Gathering to fight for the position of the State Preceptor, I had the same idea as Zhenren Xiao. I wanted to be an influential figure on the Hidden Immortal Continent and make achievements that no one before me could achieve …" Li Xiang's eyes flashed with a trace of fanaticism, as if he was recalling his glorious days. However, this fanaticism disappeared in a flash, followed by helplessness and bitterness. "It's a pity that we took the wrong path from the beginning. How could we reach the peak if the direction was wrong?"

Xiao Hua looked at Li Xiang with a smile and didn't interrupt him. Li Xiang looked like he was in his twenties. Presumably, he had altered his appearance after reaching the Nascent Soul stage. However, from his tone, he seemed to have experienced a lot. Xiao Hua also knew that Li Xiang was a person with a story and had more experience than him. Calmly listening to his thoughts would be of great benefit to him.

"Daoist Master Xiao isn't the first person to walk the path of Daoism on the continent of Confucian cultivators, and he definitely won't be the last!"

Li Xiang opened his mouth again. "Once upon a time, this Li also had the same idea. I wanted to establish a Daoist sect, raise Daoist cultivators, become the master of a country, and build a Daoist empire!

Unfortunately, the Yaotai Gathering pushed this Li to the bottom of the valley. Although this Li was lucky enough to obtain the lot to establish a country, the Li Country's downfall made this Li completely lose the heart to contend for hegemony. "

"What's going on with the Yaotai Gathering?"

Xiao Hua's brows furrowed even tighter. What Qin Xiaoyao said before was originally unclear. Xiao Hua thought it would be enough for him to go take a look and register with his own cultivation. Who knew … it would be so troublesome. Xiao Hua couldn't help but ask.

"What exactly is the Yaotai Gathering like? It seems to be different every time. The Yaotai Gathering that Qin Haoyue and this Li participated in was different. After all, ten years of planning is enough for the Immortal Palace to come up with many sinister ideas to kill nascent Daoist cultivators. Even if this Li told you, it might not be useful. It might even be harmful to you!" Li Xiang shook his head and said, "With Daoist Master Xiao's cultivation, it's best not to participate in it."

"Ah??

Ten years?

The Immortal Palace?? "Xiao Hua was shocked. He asked curiously," Qin Xiaoyao said it's once every five years. How did it become ten years?

Moreover, isn't this a matter of the Confucian cultivators of the Hidden Immortal Continent?

How is it related to the Immortal Palace?

Besides, as far as this Xiao knows, the Immortal Palace doesn't intervene in the specific affairs of the Hidden Immortal Continent … "

Li Xiang sneered, "What Daoist Master Xiao knows is just the tip of the iceberg outside the glacier. Under the glacier, how can ordinary people know the full picture of the iceberg?

The Hidden Immortal Continent is the continent of Confucian cultivators and the Immortal Palace is the holy land of Confucian cultivators. If the Immortal Palace doesn't control the Hidden Immortal Continent, could it be that the Leiyin Temple controls the Hidden Immortal Continent?

Five years is a very long time for ordinary people, but for cultivators, it's just a blink of an eye. How can cultivators grow up?

Only once every ten years can the Immortal Palace harvest their energy! "

Xiao Hua instantly understood a little. He narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice, "So, this Xiao understands.

The so-called Yaotai Gathering is a grand event for the Immortal Palace to strangle the kindling of Daoism, and the position of the State Preceptor is the bait?

Since that's the case, why … "

"Yes, since you know it's the bait, why hasn't Daoist Master Xiao dispelled the idea of participating at this time?" Li Xiang said with a smile, "It's because this bait is really tempting!

Of course, we can't rule out that many Daoism disciples don't know the inside story.

Even … even this Li doesn't have any real evidence. Everything is just this Li's own speculation. "

"Lucky thoughts, considerable expectations, unbearable curiosity, all make people overlook the potential danger …" Xiao Hua nodded and sighed.

"Daoist Master Xiao, have you heard of the Yaochi Gathering?" Li Xiang suddenly asked.

Xiao Hua shook his head, "This Xiao is rather ignorant and inexperienced. Previously, I was concentrating on cultivation, so I really don't know about this."

"It's said that as long as a Confucian cultivator can cultivate to the Sage Realm, they can receive the invitation of Emperor Gou Chen and Empress Dong Ming to participate in the Heavenly Bestowal Banquet. Because this Heavenly Bestowal Banquet is held at Empress Dong Ming's Yaochi Pool, it's also called the Yaochi Gathering!"

Li Xiang explained, "Participating in the Yaochi Gathering means that the Confucian cultivator has an extraordinary status and has obtained the recognition of the Heavenly Palace.

And the Yaotai Gathering imitates the Yaochi Gathering. As long as a Daoist cultivator participates in the Yaotai Gathering, they can be considered to have obtained the recognition of Confucian cultivators, which is to say, the Heavenly Palace. "

"This kind of idea of learning both civil and martial arts and selling them to the imperial family is actually the idea of Confucian cultivators. When it's put on the heads of Daoism cultivators, it's already changing the concept of cultivators!"

Li Xiang said again, "Actually, Daoist Master, think about it again. As a country's teacher … participating in the affairs of the country, isn't it the Confucian cultivator's way of entering the world?

It's completely different from the emergence of our Daoism.

If Daoist Master becomes the State Teacher, isn't it because you've fallen into the scheme of Confucian cultivators?

How can you still have time to cultivate?

How can you still improve your cultivation?

Of course, on the Hidden Immortal Continent, it's forbidden to trade high level Daoist cultivation techniques. However, in the Yaotai Gathering, there are high level Daoist cultivation techniques as rewards. Daoist Master can certainly obtain this high level Daoist cultivation technique, but … Daoist Master will also become a delicious cake in the eyes of other Daoist cultivators. They'll constantly probe and harass you. How can Daoist Master cultivate calmly? "

Li Xiang finally spoke his true thoughts. He was advising Xiao Hua to give up the idea of establishing a country.

"Hiss …" Xiao Hua inhaled sharply. He knew that this was what Li Xiang and the Imperial Preceptor had seen through. This was also the overt scheme of the immortal palace. The brilliance of the immortal palace was that one, they used the competition of the Yaotai Gathering to cut off a portion of Daoist cultivators. Two, they used the name of the Imperial Preceptor to assimilate a portion of Daoist cultivators. Three … in the competition between countries, Daoist cultivators would fight with Daoist cultivators. Four, they used high level Daoist cultivation techniques as bait to once again lure Daoist cultivators to kill each other. With such heavy killing, no wonder the Hidden Immortal Continent did not have Daoist cultivators. Different from the Dawn Rain Continent, the Hidden Immortal Continent's Daoist sects were still not flourishing!

Li Xiang really was sincerely trying to dissuade Xiao Hua. Unfortunately, when he saw Xiao Hua's expression change from astonishment to calmness, he smiled bitterly again. As long as it was a cultivator, which one of them wasn't a person with a firm will? How could they change their mind based on a few words from others?

"It seems that Daoist Master Xiao still plans to go to the Yaotai Gathering?" Li Xiang asked softly.

Xiao Hua nodded. "Yes, I did not know that the Yaotai Gathering was so particular, and rashly agreed to Changling.

Since I have spoken, I cannot go back on it. I must go.

Also, I said that I want to establish a sect. If I do not have the mind to move forward, and have to avoid even a small Yaotai Gathering, how can I stand in the world? "

Li Xiang shook his head slightly. Hadn't he said such bold words decades ago?

Humans, even if they were cultivators, would never give up unless they hit a wall and got a big bump on their head.

"The Yaotai Gathering is held at Yaotai Mountain. It is controlled by an organization called Star Sovereign Hall. The present master of Star Sovereign Hall should be called Kong Hongwu, and is a disciple of a first class scholarly family.

This Star Sovereign Hall is said to belong to the scholarly cultivators of the Hidden Immortal Continent, but I do not know who controls it.

At the Yaotai Gathering, other than the Imperial Tutor's lot, there are also some rare treasures of Yaotai Mountain. Anyone who attends the Yaotai Gathering can obtain them.

Every few times, Star Sovereign Hall will take out some rare treasures of the Hidden Immortal Continent, and put them on Yaotai Mountain for my sect disciples to fight over.

On the surface, it looks generous, but in reality … it is to have my sect disciples kill each other.

Back then … ah, let's not talk about it.

This is my impression of the Yaotai Gathering … "Li Xiang sighed, and took out the jade eye he had prepared long ago. He handed it to Xiao Hua and said," I know that Daoist Master is far stronger than I was back then, but Daoist Master must remember, the tallest tree in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. You must be low-key!

Back then at the Yaotai Gathering, none of the cultivators who were stronger than I … could get the Imperial Tutor's lot. "

"Heh heh, this is my specialty!"

Xiao Hua took the jade eye and answered with a smile. He did not ask more about Star Sovereign Hall and the treasures. If Li Xiang knew, he would remember it in the jade eye. If Li Xiang did not know, it was useless to ask.
