Chapter 186: Matters of the Sect, Chen Chang'an's Thoughts

Buzz~!

When these eight golden lights merged into Mao Ruxue's body, Mao Ruxue became even more extraordinary.

An unbeatable aura flowed throughout her body, and in her eyes, the reflection of the galaxy could be seen.

Undoubtedly, Mao Ruxue was currently in a terrifying state, a state that even temporarily granted her the qualifications to confront the powerhouses of the Eight Realms Everlasting Realm!

Truly terrifying!

"Disperse~!"

After about a second or two, Mao Ruxue lightly shouted, and the tens of thousands of auras on her body converged. She returned to her ordinary appearance.

Then, she looked at Jiuyi and the others and said,

"Uncle Jiuyi, Uncle Jiujiu, I have something to attend to and need to go out for a while. I'll trouble you to watch over the palace for me."

"Master, rest assured and go. We have several people here guarding, so nothing major will happen."

Indeed, nothing major would happen. Although Jiuyi and the others were currently restricted, they now had the support of the Nine Great Asura Seats.

If they were to go all out, even an Eight Realms Dao Lord would find it difficult to escape!

"Alright, I'll leave it to you, uncles."

Mao Ruxue expressed her gratitude with a bow, then she didn't linger any longer. After glancing in the direction of the Heavenly Source World, she turned into a streak of light and flew towards the horizon.

"Senior Brother, we have arrived."

At the same time, in the Heavenly Source World, Chen Chang'an and the others had also arrived. They had just arrived above the Taiyi Immortal Gate branch sect. Going down from here would lead them to the main hall and the square of the Taiyi Immortal Gate branch sect.

They saw that the square below was already filled with people, with the branch sect's master, Li Xiangtian, at the forefront.

Before long, under Lin Qingxuan's command, the flying boat slowly landed on the square.

At this moment, Lin Qingxuan came to Chen Chang'an's door and bowed, saying,

"Um."

Hearing Lin Qingxuan's voice, Chen Chang'an nodded. He stopped pretending to sleep and walked out of the flying boat.

As soon as he came out, he saw Li Xiangtian and his group, who were the vice sect master of the Taiyi Immortal Gate.

Chen Chang'an walked over and slightly bowed to Li Xiangtian, saying,

"Heavenly Water Sect's Hidden Dao Mountain Lord, Chen Chang'an, greets Master Li."

On this trip, he not only came to go to the Heavenly Emperor Pavilion with Lin Qingxuan but also came with the task of investigating the branch sect. Therefore, it was natural for him to greet the master of this sect.

Upon hearing Chen Chang'an's words, Li Xiangtian laughed heartily and then came up to support Chen Chang'an's back, saying,

"Haha, a tree with ten thousand flowers, the world's Dao sects are one family. Brother Chang'an, don't be so formal!"

"The branch sect and the Heavenly Water Sect have been connected since ancient times. Although we are now separated, we are still of the same sect. So, Brother Chen can just call me by my name."

"Come, Brother Chang'an, please enter the hall."

"This?"

Chen Chang'an didn't expect that this seemingly weak-looking vice sect master would actually be such a straightforward person.

But this was also good. Chen Chang'an's favorite thing in his life was to converse with straightforward people.

"That Senior Li, I apologize for disturbing you, Senior Brother."

Immediately, Chen Chang'an bowed to Li Xiangtian, and then the group entered the main hall of the sect together.

Behind Chen Chang'an, a group of disciples from the Heavenly Water Sect followed closely.

Compared to Chen Chang'an's indifference, these disciples were somewhat surprised.

They looked left and right at the mountains and buildings in the branch sect, unable to help but sigh.

There was no other reason, the facilities and decorations in the branch sect were too similar to those of the Heavenly Water Sect.

The Heavenly Water Sect had 108 peaks, and so did the branch sect.

However, some peaks only had the peak and no one on them.

"To let the junior disciples know, when the founder of the sect escaped, he only brought a small part of the inheritance with him, and many inheritances were lost."

"This has led to the discontinuation of many branch peak inheritances, and now only the names remain."

Among the disciples accompanying them was an elder from the branch sect, with white hair and a kind appearance. When he saw the confusion of the Heavenly Water Sect disciples, he explained to them.

"Alas, finding all the legacies of the ancestors is something we have been doing all along. Unfortunately, in countless years, we have gained nothing from the Immortal Gate ruins we have visited countless times. Helplessly, this matter can only be put on hold until now."

Saying this, the old man couldn't help but sigh, as if reminiscing.

"So that's how it is. Thank you, Senior Uncle, for explaining. We understand now."

On the other side, after hearing the old man's explanation, the disciples suddenly realized, and then they respectfully saluted the old man.

The journey continued.

Along the way, the disciples saw many other different things.

Cranes flying side by side, deer leaping in the forest, fish jumping out of the spring water.

Waterfalls cascading down, flowing between the mountains, maple trees with yellow leaves on the mountain gate, surrounded by clouds and mist, a vivid and lifelike immortal realm.

Although the style of the facilities was the same, the environment of the Taiyi Immortal Gate branch sect was obviously much better than that of the Heavenly Water Sect.

Of course, this was expected.

In the past, the Heavenly Water Sect could only be considered a seventh-grade lineage in the Formless World, and it was a relatively weak one at that.

Under such circumstances, it was already good enough for the Heavenly Water Sect to have the Heavenly Water Domain as its territory, and there was no qualification to be picky.

But the Taiyi Immortal Gate branch sect, 'Taiyi Gate,' was different.

Although the Taiyi Sect was declining, in terms of status and heritage, it was still a dominant lineage in the Tianyuan Great World, blessed by the will of heaven and earth.

For a lineage of this status, the territory it could obtain naturally would be very good.

"Junior Brother, we have arrived."

After a while, the group finally arrived in the main hall.

At this moment, there were already some people gathered in the hall.

Chen Chang'an looked around and saw that they were all older faces.

Some of them even had white beards.

However, the only thing these people had in common was that their aura was profound, at least reaching the realm of a six-grade Dao Lord.

Among them, there was an even more terrifying old man, whose aura was approaching the eighth-grade!

There are actually strong individuals in the Eight Realms within the Taiyi Sect?

Seeing this old man, Chen Chang'an couldn't help but be surprised.

It was a genuine surprise. In any era of the Formless World, there were never many people who could achieve the status of Dao Zun.

"Heavenly Water Sect's Chen Chang'an pays respects to the elders."

At the next moment, Chen Chang'an bowed to the several elders.

"Chang'an, no need for formalities."

Facing Chen Chang'an's bow, except for the oldest ones among the elders, the rest dared not accept it.

But even those few elders didn't dare to be careless and quickly got up to help Chen Chang'an.

In theory, although they were the common founders of the Taiyi Sect and the Heavenly Water Sect, they didn't dare to be so arrogant in front of Chen Chang'an.

Indeed, in terms of seniority, they were older than Chen Chang'an.

But don't forget, he is also a Saint of Heaven and Earth!

When a Saint bows, the heavens and earth tremble!

Chen Chang'an is a Saint, so his bow is almost the same.

With one bow, at least no one can withstand it without having the cultivation of a Semi-Saint!

Then, Chen Chang'an had a conversation with the elders.

The content of the conversation was simple, mainly exchanging information between the two sects, and then discussing matters related to the merger of the two sects and the relocation of the elders' positions.

The elders of the Taiyi Sect were very talkative and kept Chen Chang'an engaged in conversation for more than an hour. During this time, Chen Chang'an could only occasionally interject a few words.

During this conversation, Chen Chang'an also learned the names of these elders.

The oldest among them was called Tianjun, whose origins were the most ancient. He was one of the survivors of the catastrophe at the Taiyi Immortal Gate in the past.

It was he who brought part of the heritage and established the current Taiyi Sect on the ruins of the Taiyi Immortal Gate.

What surprised Chen Chang'an even more was that Tianjun and Jundao were from the same generation of the Taiyi Immortal Gate. Jundao was Tianjun's senior brother.

They were both outstanding disciples of the Taiyi Immortal Gate in that generation.

This was indeed a bit unexpected for Chen Chang'an.

However, when he thought about Tianjun's cultivation, he wasn't surprised anymore.

During the conversation, Tianjun, in his capacity as the person in charge of the Taiyi Sect, discussed with Chen Chang'an how to handle the future relationship between the two sects.

As a conservative, Tianjun naturally insisted on merging the two sects and developing in the Tianyuan World, in other words, relocating the Heavenly Water Sect to the Tianyuan World.

However, Chen Chang'an had a different view on Tianjun's idea.

Admittedly, from the current situation, it would be good to relocate the Heavenly Water Sect to the Tianyuan World.

But, although this method is good, it also leaves behind a big problem.

That is, the current Heavenly Water Sect is not small. If they were all moved to the Tianyuan World, it might not be able to accommodate them. After being separated for such a long time, suddenly merging together would also bring many inconveniences.

Overall, there are many disadvantages that are not conducive to the development of the sect.

Therefore, Chen Chang'an's suggestion for this issue is to merge the two sects in terms of significance, but to maintain the current status of the two sects, allowing them to operate according to their original ways.

In terms of disciples, the two sects can operate in a similar manner to the main peak and its sub-peaks. In other words, new disciples can be recruited collectively, and the disciples recruited by the Heavenly Water Sect can choose to cultivate in the Taiyi Sect, while the Taiyi Sect can also recruit disciples who can choose to cultivate in the Heavenly Water Sect.

The same goes for senior disciples and elders of both sects. The disciples and elders of the two sects can freely enter and exit, communicate with each other, without distinguishing which sect they belong to.

"This idea is great, let's do it." Upon hearing Chen Chang'an's suggestion, Tianjun Laozu's eyes lit up, and he immediately made a decision.

"Chang'an nephew, I wonder if Jun Shixiong is doing well?" After discussing the matters of the sect alliance, Tianjun Laozu asked Chen Chang'an with a concerned look.

"Ah, not hiding it from Laozu, Jun Dao Laozu's current situation is not optimistic." Chen Chang'an shook his head.

Jun Dao Laozu is different from Tianjun Laozu. He is only the incarnation of the Dao Lord and cannot live forever.

Given his condition, it is already remarkable for him to wake up. With his current physical condition, unless there is a great opportunity, there is little hope.

"Ah, him, him." Tianjun Laozu couldn't help but sigh deeply.

He had already anticipated Jun Dao Laozu's situation, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon.

After sighing, he looked at Chen Chang'an and finally said, "Alright, Chang'an, I have roughly understood the situation. I will let Xiangtian take you to find a place to stay first."

"Junior brother, come with me." At this time, Li Xiangtian next to him also spoke.

"Alright, then Laozu, we'll go down." Chen Chang'an nodded and followed Li Xiangtian out of the hall.

In a short while, Li Xiangtian brought Chen Chang'an to the top of a mountain, and to Chen Chang'an's surprise, there was a pavilion on top of this mountain that was exactly the same as the one on Hidden Dao Mountain.

Seeing Chen Chang'an's confusion, Li Xiangtian awkwardly scratched the back of his head and said, "Ah, well, junior brother, this room was built according to the pavilion on your peak. I don't know if you like it?"

"Don't misunderstand, the structure of this house was passed on to us by Qingxuan. We didn't go to your mountain to spy on you."

"That's not the case, senior brother, you are thoughtful." Chen Chang'an shook his head.

Li Xiangtian and the others were really meticulous in building this pavilion, which was beyond his expectations. He was too happy to misunderstand anything.

"Haha, as long as you like it, junior brother." Li Xiangtian finally let go of his worries when he saw that Chen Chang'an didn't dislike it.

After all, this junior brother was extraordinary. His perception of the branch sect directly affected the future of the sect. He must take good care of him on this trip, otherwise he, Li Xiangtian, would be in trouble!

Li Xiangtian had no idea that Chen Chang'an had never been interested in the matters of the sect alliance.

For him, whether the sects were united or not didn't matter. As long as no one disturbed him, it was fine.

That night, Chen Chang'an stayed in the pavilion.

It must be said that Li Xiangtian and the others were really meticulous. Chen Chang'an observed the pavilion inside and out and found that not only was the exterior identical to the one on Hidden Dao Mountain, but even the internal structure was almost the same.

They really put in a lot of effort.

A quiet night passed.

The next day, Chen Chang'an got up early and arrived at the main hall of Taiyi Gate when it was just getting light.

Having been at Taiyi Gate for two days, today's plan was to go to the Heavenly Emperor Pavilion, which was his original purpose. This was also the reason why he got up so early.

However, when Chen Chang'an arrived at the main hall, he embarrassingly discovered that he seemed to be not the first one to arrive.

Because the hall was already full of people, including Lin Qingxuan and others.

And sitting in the highest seat was Tianjun Laozu.
