Chapter 2046: Chapter 2046: Heavenly Master Dao of Qingcheng Mountain
Kuyun Sect.
In the Fuyao Realm, it’s considered a powerful force.
However, it’s located not far from Yu Yue City on Kuyun Mountain, which also leads to Kuyun Sect being like Yu Yue City, a mix of various elements, with most of the cultivators hailing from other Great Realms.
Currently, Ye Qiubai, Yang Shao, and others are situated in a deep mountain outside Kuyun Mountain, which happens to be outside the patrol range of Kuyun Mountain. Moreover, there’s a formation here that completely hides the internal aura.
Yang Shao asked, "How about it, Brother Ning, did you notice anything?"
Ning Ru, the alias Ning Chenxin gave himself.
Ning Chenxin replied, "A very thick aura of vengeful spirits from evil cultivators."
Yang Shao smiled, "As expected of Brother Ning, I couldn’t see anything unusual."
Just then.
A voice pressed down over them.
"Yang Shao, this operation by the Supervisory Temple is confidential. What do you mean by bringing these outsiders here? Don’t think you can avoid punishment just because you’re the Hall Master’s disciple."
Upon hearing this.
Ye Qiubai and the others glanced at Yang Shao.
Though aware that Yang Shao’s identity isn’t ordinary, they didn’t expect him to be the Hall Master’s disciple.
A middle-aged man flew over, leading dozens of people in black robes.
On the chest of these black-robed individuals, the word "Monitoring" was engraved.
And even though the middle-aged man wore regular hemp clothing, his status in the Supervisory Temple was likely very high.
He’s probably an elder of the Supervisory Temple.
Yang Shao bowed and said, "First Elder, they are my friends and also hope to join the Supervisory Temple. However, recruiting people for the Temple is no child’s play, so I specifically brought them over for the First Elder’s inspection."
Indeed, the disciple of the Hall Master.
His words were flawless.
First Elder slightly raised his brow, but before he could speak.
A young man in a black robe behind him folded his arms and sneered, "Yang Shao, our Supervisory Temple’s threshold is high. Not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can join."
Yang Shao glanced at the young man, didn’t respond, but looked at Mu Fusheng and said, "This person is the First Elder’s disciple, Tao Yi. His talent and strength are quite impressive among the younger generation of the Supervisory Temple."
Tao Yi saw Yang Shao ignoring him, anger surfaced on his face, and he shouted, "Didn’t you get my point? The Supervisory Temple doesn’t need mediocrity!"
"Mediocrity, huh?" Ye Qiubai stepped forward and smiled, "Sir, isn’t it premature to conclude without seeing us in action? Is that proper?"
Tao Yi sneered, "Oh? From what I know, you all are from other realms, what strength could you possibly have?"
"Are those from the lower realm lacking strength?" Ye Qiubai countered.
Tao Yi shrugged, "Perhaps some strength, but our Supervisory Temple cannot be compared to other forces."
Ye Qiubai nodded slightly and chose not to continue arguing.
Who wouldn’t excel at verbal sparring?
True skill is proven in actual battle.
At that moment, the First Elder looked at Ning Chenxin, hands behind his back, and said, "You were the one who noticed anomalies within Kuyun Sect?"
Ning Chenxin bowed in affirmation.
First Elder nodded, "Impressive, at your age and strength, you can detect abnormalities, and lack the Bodhisattva’s Dao Qi, surely you cultivate Confucian Dao?"
Indeed, the First Elder of the Supervisory Temple.
Instinctively recognized Ning Chenxin’s path of cultivation.
Ning Chenxin said in surprise, "Senior has sharp insight."
Then, the First Elder glanced aside, "You all must be quite interested in this young one, right?"
Hmm?
More people?
Mu Fusheng looked at the space beside the First Elder.
An old man in a blue robe quietly landed there.
Only a gentle breeze swept past.
The old man laughed heartily, "Young friend has good skills, seems your Dao cultivation is deep, you’ve already cultivated righteousness."
The First Elder glanced and said, "Qingcheng Old Daoist, didn’t you assert that only the orthodox Heavenly Master Dao of Qingcheng Mountain could cultivate righteousness?"
Qingcheng Old Daoist stroked his beard, "Hey, don’t slander me, I merely said it’s extremely difficult to cultivate righteousness unless you practice the orthodox Dao techniques of Heavenly Master Dao... But the world is full of heroes, who can define everything?"
Then, Qingcheng Old Daoist looked at Ning Chenxin and asked, "Who is your master, young friend?"
Ning Chenxin shook his head and said, "Master forbids revealing his name, but to my knowledge, he does not exclusively cultivate Confucian Dao."
"Oh?"
Qingcheng Old Daoist did not inquire further about Lu Chang’sheng, but said, "So, you rely on self-cultivation to attain righteousness? Then why join the Supervisory Temple? It’s truly a waste of talent! Better to join us at Qingcheng Mountain!"
The First Elder’s brows furrowed.
Honestly, with Ning Chenxin’s capabilities, he is indeed qualified to join the Supervisory Temple.
Yet, before he could speak, Qingcheng Old Daoist was already luring him away?
Nearby, Tao Yi’s expression suddenly darkened.
He had just declared that people from the lower realm were unworthy of joining the Supervisory Temple, lacking strength and talent.
But now Qingcheng Old Daoist is recruiting Ning Chenxin!
Although Qingcheng Mountain’s force isn’t as strong as the Supervisory Temple.
That’s only because of the latter’s connection to the Holy Court.
Be aware, Qingcheng Mountain is actually one of the top factions in the Fuyao Realm!
"Qingcheng Old Daoist, are you suggesting that the Supervisory Temple is inferior to Qingcheng Mountain?" The First Elder’s eyes narrowed.
Qingcheng Old Daoist showed no fear and said, "What, can your Dao cultivation skills surpass Qingcheng Mountain? Furthermore, despite your Supervisory Temple’s link to the Holy Court, your seniority does not equal mine."
Qingcheng Old Daoist.
Temple Master of Qingcheng Mountain.
The First Elder’s eyebrows tightened, he snorted coldly and chose silence.
Qingcheng Old Daoist turned to Ning Chenxin and said, "No hurry in making decisions, tackle the current matter first, we can ascertain your Dao techniques afterwards."
Ning Chenxin bowed again.
Mu Fusheng continued observing from the side, gathering intelligence.
He then turned to Yang Shao and asked, "Both Qingcheng Mountain and the Supervisory Temple are top factions in the Fuyao Realm, but why deploy such manpower against a second-rate force?"
Qingcheng Old Daoist, Temple Master of Qingcheng Mountain.
First Elder of the Supervisory Temple.
With those Temple stewards, disciples, along with the outer sect elders.
This manpower against a second-rate force seems excessive, doesn’t it?
Yang Shao explained, "First, Kuyun Sect may be a second-rate force, but its growth rate is alarmingly rapid recently. If it’s truly due to evil cultivator means, the resulting destruction could be formidable."
That’s accurate.
The destruction potential of evil cultivators is incomparable to the same realm cultivators.
Moreover... Evil cultivators often have peculiar tendencies.
Playing with self-detonation, dabbling in forbidden techniques, it’s all too common.
If insufficient manpower is dispatched, forcing suppression.
The losses would likely expand.
"Second, though Kuyun Sect is a second-rate force, its scale is considerable. Achieving such growth to become a top second-rate force in just a few short years signifies that their evil cultivation legacy isn’t simple... It’s possible some other great power of evil cultivation is orchestrating everything behind the scenes."
That’s the primary reason!
Otherwise, Qingcheng Old Daoist wouldn’t personally intervene!
