I seek immortality by chance

Chapter 470: The three meridians of upper, middle and lower, to suppress others with force?

"Senior brother?"

Hearing this address, not only Hu Yuanhua was stunned, but the monk with thick eyebrows and big eyes who was driven out of the hall by Hu Yuanhua was also stunned and looked up in confusion.

Just one glance was enough to terrify him.

It's not just the appearance and demeanor of the visitor that are good.

The aura was as vast as the ocean. Just standing there, he felt as if there were deep abysses and towering mountains. With his cultivation level in the middle stage of the Dao fetus, he was completely unable to see through the realm of the person in front of him.

Gu Yuan ignored this person, just looked at Hu Yuanhua, smiled and said: "Senior Brother entered the Taoist temple eight hundred years ago, achieved the Golden Elixir three hundred years ago, and worked tirelessly for the Taoist temple, crossing the river for hundreds of millions of miles to enter Shenzhou, so he naturally deserves to be called Senior Brother."

Behind Gu Yuan, the three Jindan disciples also saluted and shouted respectfully: "Disciples Peng Yangrong, Ben Bin, and Xia Yinan pay homage to Master Uncle!"

"You are……"

"Were you sent by the dean? Are you the new disciples of my Qingfeng Taoist Academy?"

Hu Yuanhua opened his mouth wide and looked at the people in front of him in disbelief.

The four people in front of him, one was Daotai, the other three were Jindan, all of them were strangers he had never seen before.

what does this mean?
This means that these four people were new disciples he accepted during the two hundred years since he left the Taoist temple.

In more than two hundred years, three new golden elixirs have been cultivated. When did the Taoist temple become so powerful?
The most crucial thing is that this young Taoist priest, who is in the lead and has an outstanding demeanor, has an aura as strong as the ocean, and seems to have reached the peak of Taoism. How is this possible?

He was nourished by spiritual veins of nearly fifth level in the Central Plains of China, and received some unexpected benefits, as well as a secret treasure bestowed by the dean. Only then did he break through to the Daoist embryo ten years ago. He was thought to be the second strongest man in the Daoist academy.

Who would have thought that the new disciple sent by the dean would actually be at the peak of Daotai? !

"Hurry, hurry, get up, stop worshipping, we are all family, there is no need to worship!"

The shock in his heart took a long time to subside, but he had traveled in Middle-earth for many years and had excellent Qi cultivation skills, so he reacted quickly and helped the three people up.

"Master... Junior Brother, you are so handsome, I wonder what your position is in the Taoist temple?"

Hu Yuanhua was calm and composed as he helped up the three young Jindan cultivators. However, when facing Gu Yuan, he felt worried. He bowed quickly and asked softly.

"So that Uncle Hu knows that Uncle Donghua is now the head of the Taoist branch, in charge of all matters of the Taoist branch. He is the first person under the head of the branch."

Peng Yangrong stood behind Gu Yuan. Upon hearing this, he immediately spoke up and explained for Gu Yuan.

"Branch, head of the house?"

Hu Yuanhua was slightly stunned.

"Brother Hu, this is not the place to talk. Why don't we go into the hall and talk?"

Gu Yuan spoke, smiling.

At the same time, his eyes glanced to the side without leaving a trace, at the Taoist monk who was staying in the square and watching them.

"Yes, yes, yes, come into the hall and have some tea!"

Hu Yuanhua slapped his forehead and responded quickly.

At the same time, he also looked at the Taoist monk with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and said in a cold voice: "Fellow Daoist Song, we don't welcome bad guests here. Please leave quickly, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."

"Fellow Daoist Hu, I didn't expect that your Qingfeng Daoist Academy actually has some background, but you also know the strength and background of our academy, so don't make the mistake!"

The Taoist monk with thick eyebrows and big eyes said something meaningful to Hu Yuanhua, then looked at Gu Yuan deeply, bowed, rode the wind and disappeared on the spot.

"Master, Xiaochu has completed his mission and is returning to the ferry to report!"

Nara Nian Jiaolong also lay prostrate on the spot and did not leave. After seeing the Taoist monk with thick eyebrows and big eyes leave, he stood up and bowed to Gu Yuan to say goodbye.

"Thanks for showing me the way."

Gu Yuan smiled and threw out a fourth-grade low-grade spiritual herb from his sleeve and gave it to La Nian Jiaolong.

La Nian Jiaolong was slightly delighted when he saw this, and then hesitated for a moment before whispering to Gu Yuan, "Master, the Master Qin just now was from the Qin family, one of the thirty-six great families of the Dao lineage. He has a strong influence, so you need to be careful."

After saying this, without waiting for Gu Yuan to reply, it flew up, dragging the jade sedan chair, and left at a very fast speed.

Gu Yuan seemed to be thinking about something, but he did not show it on his face. At Hu Yuanhua's enthusiastic invitation, he entered the hall.

……

……

"I know the dean has great talents and plans, but I never thought that he could accomplish so many great things in just two hundred years. It's really terrifying..."

In the reception room, in front of a jade table, Hu Yuanhua was filled with emotion, shaking his head repeatedly, with a sighing tone, and constantly bowing to the distance to show his respect.

Gu Yuan was sitting on the other side of the jade table. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "The dean is a talented person. Of course, we cannot compare with him. But it is not easy for you to come to Shenzhou alone for more than 200 years. Let me serve tea instead of wine to you!"

After saying this, he raised the jade cup in his hand and saluted Hu Yuanhua from a distance.

"I can't do it, I can't do it!"

"How dare I accept such praise for my insignificant contribution."

"You are now the head of the academy, in charge of all matters of the academy, so I should respect you."

Hu Yuanhua quickly stood up and toasted Gu Yuan first.

Seeing this, Gu Yuan smiled slightly, and drank the cup without being humble.

After finishing the cup, the hierarchy seemed to be determined and the atmosphere changed subtly.

"The dean sent me here because of the matter of Guimai mentioned in the letter. What you said in the letter was vague, and there are still many details that I don't understand. I wonder if you can help me clear up the confusion?"

After the simple test, Gu Yuan stopped chatting and directly asked about what he cared about most.

Hearing the word "Guimai", Hu Yuanhua immediately showed a bitter smile on his face and couldn't help shaking his head: "I acted on my own initiative and betrayed the trust of the dean."

"Oh? What do you mean?"

Gu Yuan put down his teacup and listened carefully.

"The matter of Guimai is a long story."

"Linchuan Dao Meridian is one of the eight meridians in Jiuzhou. Its strength is extremely powerful and terrifying. It is unimaginable. Its influence spans hundreds of millions of miles."

"Let's not talk about anything else. The Nine Peaks of Linchuan are far from being as simple as they seem. Each peak has a cave, and the nine peaks have nine caves. The mystery inside can only be experienced by entering."

“Besides the Nine Peaks of Linchuan, there are also tens of thousands of sacred mountains and rivers in the Dao vein, which are spread over millions of miles. The mountain gate is so wide that the Dao embryo cultivator’s escape light would take at least half a year to fly through it.”

"Not only that, after tens of thousands of years of cultivation, countless wealthy families, aristocratic families, and powerful clans have been born in the Dao veins, and there are tens of thousands of descendants under their bloodlines. These descendants have either been canonized by the Dao veins or built caves on their own. Over the years, the places of cultivation have spread across countless sacred mountains and cave heavens, and their influence is spread over more than tens of millions of miles."

"The disciples in the mountain gate are just a corner of the glacier."

"The tree is big and its roots are deep. There are so many forces, big and small, in the Dao veins that it is impossible to count them all."

"In addition, there are many sects that can be canonized and founded, and they are as numerous as the stars in the sky. They are entangled with many aristocratic families and wealthy families in the Dao veins, and they are intermarried with each other. The complexity of the internal relationships is unimaginable."

"Middle Earth is too vast, and the forces that rely on the Dao Vein are as numerous as the sands of the Ganges."

"What you saw today is just the tip of the iceberg. When you deal with the Dao veins in the future, you will know how complicated the situation is." "Too many forces will naturally cause chaos and breed filth."

"In the past, when the Supreme was alive, he suppressed everything. With the Heavenly Dao patrolling and thunder deterring, everything was peaceful. It was just a few minor mistakes."

“But with the fall of the Supreme Being, filth has increased. In just a hundred years, many unspeakable things have happened.”

"Some disciples of the Dao Sect, in order to seek promotion, do not hesitate to kill people to extract their souls, take away their bones to increase their status, and even massacre an entire county. The cruelty of their methods is appalling."

"There are also disciples who, in order to win the duel and take the top spot, do not hesitate to use spells and secretly harm their opponents."

Speaking of these examples, Hu Yuanhua shook his head and sighed repeatedly.

The country has been at peace for too long, and the depravity and stupidity of some disciples in the Taoist lineage have caused concern.

Although the Supreme is gone, the immortals and Mahayana practitioners in the Taoist lineage are still alive, and top cultivators are emerging in endlessly. He only used some evil magic, but was discovered by the patrolling cultivators as soon as it was used and was killed on the spot.

"But there are too many Daoist forces, and they are complicated. In order to nip them in the bud and to deter people, there is this 'great purge'."

"Purge the internal forces, identify all the major branches, Taoist temples, and sects, and kill all those who practice evil methods or secretly worship evil spirits to serve as a warning to others."

"As for the various Daoist academies like us that do not belong to the Linchuan Dao lineage, the strategy we adopt is 'Return to the Lineage'."

"From now on, any Taoist temple without a Mahayana cultivator must either leave Tianhe Province or accept the return of the meridians. Otherwise, they will be considered as heretics and will be arrested and imprisoned."

"Grandmaster, it's not that I have impure thoughts. You should know that Tianhe Province is one of the nine continents of Shenzhou. Its area is vast, how much more than billions of miles?"

"I was still a Jindan cultivator at that time. Even if I used up the rest of my life, I would not be able to fly out of this [Tianhe Province]."

"Even if we fly out, what does it matter? With our strength, can we still gain a foothold in another continent?"

"My Qingfeng Daoist Academy only has a name. Its strength is not even comparable to that of a small family under the Linchuan Daoist lineage. How can we resist its decree?"

"If we succeed in returning to the lineage, we will be disciples of the Linchuan Dao lineage from now on. We will have the protection of the immortal ancestors, the sacred peaks, the Dao field, and the spiritual blessings. Only in this way can we practice peacefully and climb the great road!"

"Didn't our ancestor establish Qingfeng Daoyuan so that the Nanshan Region could obtain a ray of immortal music, save our human race from the sea of ​​suffering, and suppress the monster race in the South Sea?"

"The return of the meridians is unstoppable, so without waiting for the headmaster's reply, I have already taken the initiative to agree to this matter and prepare for the return of the meridians."

"I have already submitted the document for Guimai, using the secret seal that the dean gave me back then to allow me to do this at my own convenience."

Hu Yuanhua sighed and took out a golden document from his sleeve, on which was clearly recorded the immortal contract of Qingfeng Taoist Temple's return to its roots.

Sure enough!

Gu Yuan understood.

As expected, Hu Yuanhua acted first and reported later, and had already agreed to return the bloodline.

Regardless of whether the Taoist temple sends people to Shenzhou or not, he must preside over the return of the Taoist sect as the head of the Taoist temple in Shenzhou and allow himself to join the Linchuan Taoist sect.

As for whether the Taoist temple would be relocated to the mainland or whether disciples would be sent to Shenzhou, these were not within his consideration for the time being.

"Brother, you are very courageous, but I wonder how far this matter will be taken by the dean?"

"Are you going to force the dean to enter Shenzhou and kneel down to worship the Tianhe Immortal?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuan sighed.

"No, I have already inquired about it. Our Qingfeng Taoist Academy has a special situation. We don't need to relocate the entire academy. We only need to select talented disciples to come to Shenzhou and slowly complete the return of the disciples within 500 years. The dean does not need to come in person."

"But the status must be determined without delay."

Hu Yuanhua quickly explained.

But then he realized that this was a taboo.

He then bowed his head to the east, knelt on the ground, and said earnestly: "I have selfish motives in doing this, but it is also for the great plan of the Taoist Academy for thousands of years. It is difficult to find a master. If our Qingfeng Taoist Academy wants to climb the immortal path, we must rely on Shenzhou."

"If the dean wants to punish me, I am willing to bear it. If the Grand Master comes one day, he will only punish me. I made the decision on my own to change the sect, and it has nothing to do with the dean!"

"If I die, I will open the coffin and mutilate my body, and use my great magical power to gather my soul and whip it. I will have no regrets!"

These words were spoken with sincerity and tears in his eyes. It was unclear whether they were true or false, but Gu Yuan had already gotten an attitude.

"The dean allowed Senior Brother to do as he pleased and bestowed the golden seal on him, which means he approved of everything Senior Brother did."

"I didn't come here today to punish you, brother."

"The Tiangong Daoyuan is one body, and we are all descendants of the Supreme Being. The head of the academy has issued an order that the matter of returning to the lineage can be done."

Gu Yuan stood up, helped Hu Yuanhua up, and took out the letter from the dean.

"The dean is thoughtful and far-sighted. I am ashamed of myself!"

Hu Yuanhua took the letter, read it carefully, sighed, bowed to the east again, and then calmed down.

"Brother, how are you preparing for the return of the meridians?"

Gu Yuan sat down and asked again.

"Ashamed!"

"The Dao Sect has sympathized with our Daoist Academy and has specially relaxed the time limit to first cleanse all the forces and then return to the sect."

"I had already prepared everything, but now it seems that there will be twists and turns."

Hu Yuanhua smiled bitterly, anger showing in his eyes.

"Is it related to that person just now?"

Gu Yuan asked.

"Yes, that's the man!"

"You can't fight me openly, so you start to think of some shady tricks!"

"It's just too much!"

Hu Yuanhua said angrily, obviously extremely angry.

Seeing that Gu Yuan was puzzled, he hurriedly explained: "The matter of returning to the meridians is actually not complicated. It is a grace. As long as the jade disc is verified and there is a Taoist monk in the Taoist temple, the meridians can be returned."

“But the Linchuan Dao meridian is a huge entity, and there are also distinctions of high and low status within the meridian.”

"The upper disciples are the core disciples. As long as they have a name on the jade disc, they will be granted by the spirit peak. Every month, they will have a superb spiritual salary. They will have 20 Taoist scriptures to practice in the Sutra Hall every year. They will have hundreds of maids and strong men, and there will be Taoist protectors to serve them. They only need to practice peacefully."

"A Zhongmai disciple is an inner sect disciple. He is famous on the Jade Disc and can be granted a cave residence. He also has a decent monthly spiritual salary, ten maids and strong men, and ten volumes of the Daoist Canon in the Sutra Hall every year."

"The lower-level disciples are ordinary disciples. They have a famous jade disc, but ordinary spiritual fortunes. They are not given by strong men or maids. There are only three quotas in the Sutra Repository every year."

"We dare not even think about the upper meridian. Our plan now is to strive for a place in the middle meridian."

"I was originally 60% sure of this matter, but the Kunyu Taoist Academy actually used its power to force me to give up this spot and let him win!"

"Extremely hateful!"
