With the sound of the chime, Zhang Ke, dressed in platinum robes, entered the "Cloud Sea Rooftop".
Jiuren Daojun is based on Penglai Island, which is the foundation of the 'Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect', and he will not leave anytime soon.
Qin Qing guards the "Yunhai Tiantai" to prevent anyone from causing trouble secretly.
Qingmei did not appear in public, but this brought great psychological pressure to many Taoists. A swordsman hiding in the dark was undoubtedly the most frightening.
Baishi, Biluo, Yuan Jinting, Yu Fengtong and other hundreds of Yuanshen True Monarchs from the 'Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect' stood around the fence of the 'Cloud Sea Rooftop' to maintain order at the venue.
Zhang Ke glanced left and right, and saw that the customs in the five regions were different, and the obvious differences could be seen just from the clothing and temperament.
The Eastern Region is the birthplace of practitioners in the Blue Realm. Most of the practitioners in this area wear Taoist attire, and their atmosphere is simple and indifferent, with the aura of pine trees standing upright in the wind.
The southern region is a wild land, and the practitioners who come from here have a slightly ferocious temperament. They are like wild beasts in the forest, giving people a feeling of extreme danger.
Due to the reform of the "Taode Sect" in the Central Region, the spiritual world has basically been integrated with the secular world, and the establishment of the country has brought order to the behavior of practitioners.
At this moment, no matter from the posture of sitting or standing or speaking, one can clearly feel the difference from practitioners in other regions.
In the area where the Western Region is located, all you can see is a bright bald head, and an eminent monk wearing a brocade cassock, sitting neatly with his eyes closed and meditating, not interested in the outside world at all.
The northern region is desolate and cold, and some places even don't see the sun all year round.
The cultivators here are of a loose nature. On such a solemn occasion today, there are still cultivators who are topless, showing tattoos of fierce beasts, and some are wearing animal skins and fox furs. Before Tao Lord entered the scene, they were having fun.
Drink freely without paying any attention to the rules of the venue.
However, the individual strength of these Northern Region cultivators is the strongest among the five major regions, which has also developed their unruly character.
Among the more than 2,400 cultivators present here, most of the middle and lower-grade sects have their masters personally present, while the vast majority of the top-grade sects only send their sect Taoist kings to come.
As Tao Lords of top-level sects, they have the right to say no to anyone, and these Tao Lords can also help the sect leaders to shirk decisions that are not good for them.
After looking around, Zhang Kehuan raised his hands and saluted.
"Everyone, please be polite!"
All 2,400 sect leaders stood up and returned the salute.
"Master Ruyi is polite!"
Amid the greetings, Zhang Ke quickly came to the second ring and stood in front of the venue.
Among the nine-ring seats, the first ring is vacant because after the ‘Tao De Sect’, there is no first-grade sect in the Azure Realm.
Therefore, where the first ring is located, there are only two golden semicircular jade tables placed opposite each other.
And where the second ring is, there are eight purple jade table tables placed in the Bagua direction.
Sitting in this ring are the only seven second-grade sects in the Azure Realm. The Eastern Territory's 'Tiandao Sect' and the 'Great Freedom Heavenly Palace' are two of them, and the rest are second-grade sects from the other four regions.
Door.
The reason why there are only seven second-grade sects but eight positions is that the last vacant one was left by Zhang Ke for his own family.
The third ring has a larger number of people. The sect leaders and Tao Lords of the fifty-two third-grade sects are seated according to their geographical locations.
Before Zhang Kewei came in, these people had had a conversation.
It is believed that with the current strength of the 'Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect', it is fully qualified to replace the 'Daode Sect' and become a first-class sect, occupying the top position, but for some reason it is ranked among the second-class sects.
Little did he know that Zhang Ke felt that a person sitting in the middle looked like a monkey on the stage for people to watch, so he chose a seat in the second ring.
Zhang Ke stood still in the position of 'Qian Gua', bowed his hands in all directions again and saluted:
"Thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedule to come to Penglai and discuss important matters with Ruyi.
We are all practitioners, so there is no need to say more useless words. The core purpose of inviting everyone here today is only one."
After a brief pause, Zhang Ke continued:
"That's about the great catastrophe of the 'Immortal Sect'."
As soon as these words came out, there was a slight commotion in the 'Yunhai Tiantai' venue, and many sect leaders talked in low voices.
Since the seats are arranged according to region and sect level, many sect leaders are surrounded by people who are relatively familiar with the state, so they feel less scrupulous about talking about them.
The catastrophe of the 'Immortal Sect' is not a secret to the sect leaders present. When they achieve Yuan Shen, the sect will naturally inform this secret.
But after all, the threat was still far away, so most of the sect leaders did not take this matter to heart from beginning to end.
Upon hearing Zhang Ke talking about this matter, many sect leaders revealed the secrets of their sect inheritance and verified each other.
Zhang Ke and others talked for a while and then said:
"The destructive power of cultivators to realms must be well known to all the sect leaders here, so I won't go into details here.
However, according to what was deduced when the ‘Immortal Sect’ left, tens of thousands of years later, the spiritual power of the Azure Realm will be restored to its original state, and the ‘Immortal Sect’ will also return to this world and carry out a second round of plundering this world.
Judging from the time, the 'immortal gate' will return in another thousand or two hundred years, but..."
Zhang Ke's eyes flashed brightly, scanning everyone present, and said in a deep voice:
"One thousand and two hundred years is just a guess we made based on our deductions when the 'Immortal Sect' left. In fact, the 'Immortal Sect' may return early at any time.
This time may be three hundred years, or it may be five hundred years, or it may even be on the way back at this time."
Zhang Ke's clear voice, like the intersection of jade chimes, echoed leisurely on the 'Cloud Sea Rooftop'.
Two thousand four hundred sect leaders listened quietly. Some looked serious, some frowned, showing contemplation, and some looked relaxed, not caring about Zhang Kezhi's words at all.
.
A sect leader from the Eastern Region raised his voice:
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Master Ruyi, I have something that I don't understand. I would like to ask the master for advice?"
Zhang Ke turned to look at the speaker.
The leader of Laizhou’s seventh-grade sect, the Nine-Chong Sect, is Nushi Zhenjun.
"Master Nushi, please speak."
True Monarch Stubborn Stone pondered for a moment and then said:
"According to the deduction from the former 'Tianji Sect', the time for the return of many immortal sects will be tens of thousands of years later. Why is Master Ruyi so sure that the immortal sects will return within hundreds of years, and are even on their way back?"
Zhang Ke's heart moved. His words seemed to be questioning, but in fact they gave Zhang Ke a chance to explain.
People must ask for something when they are polite. Zhang Ke kept this in mind and looked around. He did not answer directly, but asked a rhetorical question.
"Headmasters, do you know the strength of the 'Immortal Sect'?"
Zhang Ke's words made everyone present feel their hearts beat.
‘Does Mr. Ruyi Dao know the details of the ‘Xianmen’?’
The Taoist Master who was sitting next to Zhang Ke narrowed his eyes and secretly guessed the real intention of Zhang Ke's sudden words.
Sitting cross-legged opposite, Venerable Puhua of the Mahayana Sect of the Western Regions clasped his hands together.
"Amitabha, it has been more than 8,800 years since the 'Immortal Sect' left this world. The Taoist Lords from various high-level sects in this world have also explored the void, but they have never received any information about the 'Immortal Sect'.
Listening to the words of Master Ruyi, could it be that you know something about the ‘Immortal Sect’?”
Venerable Puhua had a kind face, and his words seemed to be unintentional, but in fact he was deliberately telling the hard work of the top-level sects for thousands of years, and secretly laid a verbal trap for Zhang Ke.
Zhang Ke's eyes flashed, he glanced at Venerable Puhua, and said calmly:
"Today I invite the heads of various sects to come here to resolve the future catastrophe in this world. There is no need to show off the ghostly thoughts of the flying camp and the doggou here."
This merciless sarcasm directly caused the smile on Venerable Puhua's face to freeze.
After Zhang Ke casually stabbed Venerable Puhua, he continued:
"Have you ever heard of the term 'Taoist tools'?"
"What is a 'Taoist weapon'? Why haven't you heard of it?"
"What does this 'Taoist weapon' have to do with the 'Immortal Sect'? Why does Lord Ruyi mention this thing so much?"
While many middle- and low-grade sect leaders were whispering among themselves in confusion, the expressions of some high-grade sect leaders suddenly changed.
Taoist Taoist Xiaoyao of the Great Freedom Heavenly Palace asked solemnly:
"Where did Master Ruyi learn about the 'Taoist Weapon'?"
A Taoist artifact means a Taoist master.
From Zhang Ke's tone, the matter of 'Taoist tools' was obviously related to the 'Xianmen', so he couldn't help but not pay attention to it.
After all, with the background of the 'Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect', under normal circumstances, one should not know the information about the 'Taoist weapon'.
There were all outstanding people present. Just from the expressions of Dao Lord Xiaoyao and many high-ranking sects, it could be seen that the matter of 'Taoist tools' was no small matter, and all of them turned their attention to Zhang Ke.
Zhang Ke's sound, like the sound of a chime, sounded above the 'Sea of Clouds Rooftop'.
"Before this matter, let me first explain to all the leaders present here what is a 'Taoist weapon'?
"Tao tools" are actually tools that carry the Tao, and they are magical tools that can carry the "Great Way".
To put it simply, after the natal magic weapon undergoes transformation, it is promoted to a magic weapon that is higher than the level of the innate spiritual treasure.
And this kind of magic weapon can only be possessed by Dao Zun and Tian Zun."
After listening to Zhang Ke's explanation, many sect leaders took a breath of air.
There is absolutely no fool who can become the leader of a sect. Although Zhang Ke's explanation was simple, he got to the core at once.
"Hey~~, are there Taoist-level practitioners in the 'Immortal Sect'?"
"If...if there is a Taoist Master in the 'Immortal Sect', then...how can this world fight against it?"
"So, there is really a great disaster coming in the future!"
"..."
The discussion of Zhang Ke and many other sect leaders calmed down a little, and they continued:
"Now let me tell you how I learned about the existence of the 'Tao Tool'."
Zhang Ke's eyes flashed with divine light, and he slowly scanned the faces of many sect leaders around him, and said in a deep voice:
"This matter started more than five hundred years ago.
That day, I was practicing in Penglai, and suddenly a heavenly deity sent me an edict, and used great supernatural power to take me away from this world, and I would be gone for four hundred years.
But this is a good thing, because this incident gave me the opportunity to become a Taoist king.
Since I was promoted to Dao Lord outside the realm, there was no promotion phenomenon in this realm.
Even after I was sent back to this world again, no one in the outside world knew that I had become a Taoist..."
A mystery that had been buried in Dao Jun's heart for a long time was finally solved.
At the same time, everyone couldn't help but tremble in their hearts. Ruyi Daojun was actually able to contact Tianzun, which was beyond everyone's expectations.
Although Zhang Ke did not tell who the Tianzun hidden behind him was, everyone had guesses.
Since the rise of Zhang Ke, his life experience has been reviewed by countless people.
Among them is his belief.
Although Zhang Ke said that he was from the Shangqing lineage, he believed in the 'Nine Heavens of Demon-Dang Demon Lord'. Many people knew this, and even the fact that he was a 'Disciple of Demon-Dang Demon' was guessed.
Since he can be summoned by the Heavenly Lord, he must be the ‘Nine Heavens Demon-Dangering Heavenly Lord’.
Some sect leaders who originally intended to confront the ‘Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect’ suddenly changed their minds.
It's so damn scary that this person actually fell into the eyes of the Heavenly Lord, which shows that his future is very promising.
Zhang Ke continued:
"About a hundred years ago, I sensed that my relatives were in danger outside the territory, so I went to rescue them outside the territory.
Unexpectedly, he was suddenly surrounded and killed by eleven Tao Lords in the void outside the territory.
It really scared me at that time, because what I showed to the outside was only the realm of Yuan Shen.
Out of helplessness, I could only summon the Zerg leader to assist in the battle.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I summoned the Zerg leader, someone tied up all the Zerg leaders I summoned with a golden rope..."
Having said this, Zhang Ke suddenly smiled.
"Have you ever heard of the innate spiritual treasure that can imprison dozens of Zerg leaders in an instant?"
Many sect leaders shook their heads subconsciously.
If there were such a powerful innate spiritual treasure in the world, Zhang Ke would not be feared by many high-ranking sects.
Zhang Ke nodded and said:
“I had never heard of it, so I was really surprised at the time.
Since I couldn't use the Zerg leader, I spent a lot of energy to kill the eleven Dao Lords who surrounded me."
Many sect leaders were trembling. Without the help of the Zerg leader, Ruyi Daojun was still able to kill eleven Daojuns in an ambush. How powerful was he?
"Later, after some inquiries, I finally learned that the golden rope was called the [Immortal Binding Rope] and it was a Taoist artifact.
However, the person who cast the [Immortal Binding Rope] was named Taoist Sanding, and he was from the 'Loose Cultivator Alliance'. Why he could possess a Taoist weapon has always puzzled me.
In addition, why the "Rogue Cultivator Alliance" devoted all its efforts and invited several people who had grudges against me to jointly deal with me also made me puzzled.
After all, neither I nor the ‘Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect’ has any blood feud with the ‘Rogue Cultivator Alliance’.”
Many sect masters around listened in rapt attention, and at the same time they all put themselves in Zhang Ke's position, secretly thinking about the connection.
But no matter how you deduce it, you can't find a reason for the 'Rogue Cultivator Alliance' to go to Zhang Ke desperately.
unless...
Thinking of what Zhang Keyan had mentioned about the 'immortal gate' and 'Taoist tools' before, Feiya Zhenjun had a flash of inspiration in his mind and cried out:
"Unless...unless the 'Rogue Cultivator Alliance' is related to the 'Immortal Sect'?"
