No taboos in the world

Chapter 229: Quanzhen Sect in Zhongnan Mountain

With two dragon auras added to his body, his luck increase could not be felt for the time being, but his martial arts improvement was particularly obvious.

The Bei Ming Divine Art accelerated, the Dragon Elephant Prajna leaped forward, his sword intent increased, his fists and feet improved, and his eyes became clear.

Even his ordinary, unchangeable comprehension abilities also felt significantly improved during practice.

Hong Chen couldn't help but think of another dying emperor.

Yang Guang.

The Sui Dynasty had been in chaos for a long time, and he didn't have much time to live.

The next day, the coronation ceremony was very lively. Hong Chen stood on the roof in the distance and looked into the distance.

The Song Dynasty was destroyed and the Xuan Dynasty was established.

Empress Xiao Jin ascended the throne.

After the ceremony, Hong Chen re-entered the Imperial Ancestral Temple in his true form.

Picking up the green jade gourd, the familiar warm feel made him smile.

Just as he was about to leave, the door was suddenly pushed open again.

Xiao Jin had already changed into a dragon robe and strode into the door, his face showing a bit of anxiety and nervousness.

"Hongzu!"

He looked around but saw no one, and a look of disappointment appeared on his face.

However, she soon set her eyes on Hong Chen's portrait.

The shelf where the jade gourd should have been placed was empty.

Xiao Jin still remembered that when she was little, she mischievously took the gourd, filled it with water, and pretended to drink like a hero. Then, she was punished to kneel in front of the portrait and did not eat for the whole day.

"Hong Zu...is that you?" Xiao Jin's voice trembled.

No one answered, so she took out a token from her bosom, knelt down in front of the portrait, and said, "Junior Xiao Jin, I want to see Hong Zu."

Evil Dragon Order.

Back then, Hong Chen got three pieces in total, one for Xiao Feng and one for Garuda.

The Garuda piece had already been consumed in the evil dragon's treasure, and now this piece is the Xiao family heirloom.

It was precisely because of the Xiao family’s plot against Garuda that Hong Chen didn’t want to see her.

"I was wrong about Garuda. I will return the Evil Dragon Order to Garuda. I hope Hong Zu will forgive me."

clang!
Xiao Jin only felt a weight in his hand, and the token he was holding up not only did not disappear, but there was one more.

In front of his knees, a book appeared without him noticing: "Invisible Sword Energy That Breaks the Body".

Her pupils trembled suddenly and she was about to speak hurriedly, but the sudden voice in her ears made her freeze in place, and her eyes instantly turned red.

"You're doing great, keep up the good work."

Zhongnan Mountain.

It is known as the "Immortal Capital", "Crown of Caves and Heavens" and "The Most Blessed Place in the World".

There are many people who live in seclusion on the mountain, and there is also one of the most important Taoist sects in the world: Quanzhen Sect.

At that time, Wang Chongyang, the founder of Quanzhen Sect, surpassed all others and defeated the four great martial artists, winning the title of the best in the world and the Nine Yin Scriptures, the unique martial arts skill. As a result, Quanzhen Sect became famous.

Mount Zhongnan is full of lush vegetation and many colorful flowers in the woods.

Along a winding path that spirals up the mountain, you will see flowing streams, chirping insects and singing birds, creating a beautiful natural scenery.

With the green jade gourd in hand, it is very pleasant to climb the mountain and enjoy the scenery while drinking Drunken Red Dust.

After a while, faint sounds were heard from the forest, and buildings could be seen through the lush branches and leaves.

Walking out of the narrow path, you will see the gate of Quanzhen Mountain.

There was a little Taoist priest standing outside the door, yawning out of boredom. It was not until Hong Chen came closer that he heard footsteps and turned around to look.

"Eh?" The young Taoist priest rubbed his eyes and looked at him for a few times. Seeing two swords hanging on his right waist, his eyes moved and he bowed his head and asked, "Excuse me, hero, why did you come to my Chongyang Palace?"

"Visiting several Taoist priests of Quanzhen Sect and offering incense."

The young Taoist blinked and said frankly, "You can burn incense as you like, but the uncles and seniors may not be free."

"I guess they're free today."

"Hey, has the layman made an appointment?"

"No, but you can inform me."

The young Taoist priest paused, and seeing that Hong Chen's smile did not seem like a hostile guest, he said, "Okay, may I ask your name, sir?"

"Hong Chen."

Afterwards, the young Taoist priest led Hong Chen into the Sanqing Temple and left on his own.

Facing the Three Pure Ones, Hong Chen naturally did not dare to be disrespectful. He burned incense in a proper manner and sat aside waiting.

apse.

Wang Chongyang's eldest disciple Ma Yu has passed away, and now the head of Quanzhen is Qiu Chuji.

Next to Qiu Chuji were his fellow junior brothers and sisters.

They are all disciples of Wang Chongyang and have lived and practiced together for many years, but now they all have their own temples and preach in different places, and there is not much time for them to get together like they do now.

The current gathering was originally because of the evil dragon treasure, but now it has become the recent event of the Song Dynasty becoming the Xuan Dynasty. "The Song Dynasty has been weak for many years, and now the Xiao family has taken its place. If they can make progress bravely and pacify the people, it will be a good thing."

"The Xiao family is a martial arts family, and they are also a big business family. I wonder if they can also be proficient in governing a country."

"It should be correct, otherwise the dynasty wouldn't have changed overnight, so fast that we couldn't react."

"The Xiao family's army is not large in number, but they are all very elite. The Song army will collapse as soon as they touch it. How can we fight against them? It is said that the Xiao family has now broken up the Song army and recruited them, and has also dismissed many people."

"Although Xiao Jin is a woman, she is also a remarkable person."

"Hmm? Senior Brother, do you look down on women?"

"Hahahaha, I was just making a comment, how could I mean to look down on you? Junior Brother Sun, please don't be angry."

"The Xiao family originated from Xiao Feng, the ninth generation leader of the Beggars' Sect. Back then, Xiao Feng's life experience caused a huge stir in the martial arts world."

"Those are all things of the past. Although Xiao Feng is a Khitan, his wife is a Han Chinese. Their descendants moved to the territory of the Song Dynasty and have long since become Han Chinese. If you want to dwell on blood, then doesn't the Li Tang royal family also have Xianbei blood?"

"That's true. However... In addition to the army and wealth, the Xiao family also has another big background. If that person came out earlier, the Xiao family probably wouldn't arrange a fake evil dragon treasure to lure the martial artists out of the Song Dynasty."

Hearing this, Qiu Chuji, who had been silent in the main seat, finally put down his teacup.

“Evil Dragon…” Qiu Chuji couldn’t help but frown when he heard the name, and then shook his head gently: “In the current martial arts world, even the Five Supremes are probably no match for him.”

Wang Chuyi, who went to Piaomiao Peak with him, also said, "Brother, what you said is true. A phantom left by the Evil Dragon Order more than a hundred years ago was able to overwhelm dozens of masters of the time. If they were to fight now, I think few people would be able to defeat him in a single blow."

"Hiss, is it really so scary?"

Wang Chuyi nodded solemnly: "Although he didn't do much, his aura is like a dragon."

Qiu Chuji also said solemnly: "And judging from his words and deeds, it is indeed as the rumors say. His thoughts are unpredictable, but he has a fierce and intimidating aura. What the martial arts elders said back then is true."

The few people who did not go to the evil dragon's treasure looked confused.

"Evil!" Wang Chuyi said seriously.

"How does it compare to the East Evil?"

Qiu Chuji shook his head, "It's different. You can see that Huang Yaoshi is evil, but you can't see or even feel the evil of the evil dragon, so you think it's evil. Moreover, through that phantom, Junior Brother Wang and I also got a glimpse of the three moves of the evil dragon, and each move is a rare and unique martial art."

The hall fell silent.

After a long while, someone finally said, "If that's the case, then Xiao Jin has secured the throne this time."

"It is said that the Beggars' Sect has already given their all to help. It is just a matter of time before the Xiao family takes control of the world."

"If we can conquer the northern border, the foundation of the Xiao royal family will be more solid."

Qiu Chuji sighed, "I'm just worried that stupid boy Guo Jing won't be able to come to his senses."

Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

The only female, Sun Buer, said at this time: "Huang Rong is the current leader of the Beggars' Sect. She should support the Xiao family. After all, both Xiao Feng and Xie Long have served as leaders of the Beggars' Sect, and the Xiao family has always had close cooperation with the Beggars' Sect. Besides, how can the Song Dynasty's assistance to Xiangyang be compared with that of the Xiao family? With Huang Rong by his side, Guo Jing should be able to figure it out."

"I'm just worried that he's too stubborn. This kid has been like this since he was little."

Qiu Chuji: "Forget it, I will go to Xiangyang City in a few days. Even if he doesn't want to accept Xuan Dynasty, he can leave Xiangyang."

During the conversation, the young Taoist knocked on the door. After entering, he said, "Master, uncle, there is a young lay Buddhist outside who wants to visit you. By the way, he said his name is Hong Chen."

"what?!"

Qiu Chuji and Wang Chu jumped up from their seats in an instant.

The young Taoist priest was startled and stammered, "He...he said his name is...Hong Chen."

Qiu Chuji and Wang Chuyi looked at each other and saw a hint of horror in each other's eyes.

Seeing this, several other Taoist priests could not help but wonder: "Brother, why is this happening?"

Wang Chuyi waved his hand to send the young Taoist priest away.

Qiu Chuji then said, "You may have forgotten that the evil dragon... is called Hong Chen!"

Sanqing Temple.

Hong Chen was sitting opposite a Taoist priest and drinking tea.

"Layman, Quanzhen Sect is indeed a Taoist sect, but it does not have the cultivation methods of Golden Elixir, Yuanying, and Huashen as you mentioned."

"Okay, okay, if there is none, then there is none. Don't be anxious. Think about it, do the realms I mentioned make sense? Aren't they exactly the same as the realms of refining essence into qi, refining qi into spirit, refining spirit into emptiness, and refining emptiness into the Dao? And the divisions are clearer and more concise, making people feel that they are very reasonable at a glance?"

“That’s… not wrong.”

"That's right, do you want to know what realms there are after ascending?"

"Uh……"

The Taoist priest, who was confused and curious, was about to nod his head when he suddenly stood up in a panic and bowed behind Hong Chen: "Greetings to the master, greetings to all the uncles!"

Hong Chen turned around and saw that the six surviving Quanzhen Seven Masters had all arrived.

With a smile on his face, he first waved to Qiu Chuji and Wang Chuyi, whom he had met once, and then nodded to several unfamiliar Taoist priests.

Sun Buer signaled the young Taoist priest to retreat with his eyes, and then stepped forward first: "Senior Xielong, I have long heard of your name!" The others all greeted him.

Hong Chen stood up and said with a smile: "Masters, there is no need to be polite. I came here uninvited today, which is considered impolite. I hope you can forgive me."

"I dare not." Qiu Chuji was much more polite than before at Piao Miao Peak. "May I ask what advice you have for me, Senior? If you need it, Quanzhen Sect will certainly do its best to help you."

"Master Qiu, you are too polite. I just want to ask... where is Wang Chongyang?"
