"Congratulations to Taoist Brother Xuanjie for leaving the dust today and looking forward to his great success. From now on, he will be the leader of Jiangnan Taoism."
"Same joy, same joy"
"Master Zhuang has ascended to the throne of Yuanshen. I wonder when we will invite people to attend the ceremony? I, the Masters of Zhuguang Tower, have always been on good terms with Master Zhuang. Don't forget to invite people when the time comes——"
"I must definitely invite three real people to observe the ceremony if there is really a grand ceremony in the sect."
Based on the temperaments of Zhuang Wudao and his brothers, they should not hold any celebration for their improvement in cultivation at this time. Most of them would be a funeral for Master Jie Fa. But it doesn't matter. The purpose of Zhuguang Tower is just to have sex with others.
Getting close to Li Chen is just a matter of building a relationship.
"The Lichen Sect has eliminated demons and defended the Tao this time, killing all the demons in Yanmensenluo Temple and Shiling Buddhist Cave. It really makes people applaud."
"It is our duty to eliminate demons and punish evil spirits by luck. It is our duty as a righteous person. How can we refuse to do so?"
"I would also like to ask Taoist Brother Xuanjie to say hello to Master Zhuang on behalf of my family. Xiaozong, Jiangbei, is willing to look up and breathe."
"Brother Taoist said so!"
"Brother Xuanjie, there will be a banquet at my place in three days. I would like to invite fellow Taoists from Jiangnan to discuss Xuanjie. Taoist friends who don't know Xuanjie, do you have time to come?"
"After three days, it's a bit tight. I have another invitation, how about postponing it for a while?"
From time to time, people around me would clasp their fists in congratulations or say hello.
Xuanjie's mouth was about to burst into flames and smoke, but he was content with it. He could clearly feel that his status at this time was completely different from what it was before yesterday.
Before yesterday, the Lichen Sect lived in a corner. Although it had considerable influence, it was restrained by many forces around it and was coveted by the northern sects. Its influence on the cultivation world in the Central Plains was minimal. In the eyes of many people, it seemed delicious.
Food.
However, today's Li Chen is destined to take charge of Jiangnan Xiujie and become the co-leader of all the sects in Jiangnan. He is eyeing the Central Plains and has the power to compete with the Three Saints Sect.
I ask in this world, who dares to look down upon him?
Just the production of various spiritual creatures in the entire Jiangnan area makes those merchants have to bow their heads and fawn over them.
Those sects in the north of the Zangxuan River need to bow their heads and submit. Otherwise, unless they choose another force to be a vassal, they will have no place on the north bank.
At this time, Li Chen was favored not only because of Shiling Island's great victory, but also because of Zhuang Wudao's current ranking on the Tianji Monument.
This is completely different from the meaning two hundred years ago when Jiefa broke into the top ten of the Tianji Monument. At that time, Jiefa had already lived four hundred years, and could only last for a hundred years at most on the Tianji Monument.
Zhuang Wudao, on the other hand, is only forty years old. Even if he cannot advance to the next level, he still has more than five hundred years to live. This is enough to lay an extremely strong foundation for the Lichen Sect.
Knowing in his heart that Master Jiefa has fallen, Xuanji also feels sad in his heart, but at this moment, he is more happy.
No matter what, the expression on the face should be mostly sad, but it should not make the person congratulating or congratulating unhappy.
Just as he was struggling to cope, Xuanjie saw the crowd behind him suddenly parting ways. He saw a man wearing a moon-white robe coming across the sky from a distance.
Holding a golden edict in one hand, his demeanor was as calm and solemn as ever.
Seeing this person, Xuan Jie suddenly had a solemn look on his face and said in a solemn voice: "Junior Xuan Jie, have you ever seen Guanyue Sanren?"
"I have been on good terms with the real person in your village for a long time, so there is no need for so many courtesy."
Regarding Xuanjie, Guan Yue was unexpectedly kind and cheerful: "You are the official of Lichen Sect in Lingjing. Today, an imperial edict was issued to bestow honors on Master Jiefa and Master Zhuang. Since Nanping is a long way away, you can take care of it on your behalf.
!"
Xuanjie raised his eyebrows, feeling flattered. He had been in Lingjing for decades, and it was rare that someone from the Tiandao Alliance was so polite to him.
What's more, this person is actually the fourth person in the Tiandao Alliance. He has always been arrogant by nature and never treats low-level monks with false words. While secretly excited, he also knows that everything today is because of Li Chen's death on Shiling Island.
Fight to the death and fight for your life.
There were thousands of thoughts in my heart, but Xuanjie's face showed no signs of it. He bowed deeply again: "Li Chenxuanjie, accept the order from Master Zhuang on behalf of my family's Jiefa."
He did not prostrate himself, but just bowed. It showed Li Chen's respect for the imperial power, but he was not subject to its jurisdiction. People who cultivate the truth are not among the five elements, and Li Chen, the great sect in the world, dominates the southeast, so he can compete with the great spirit.
Fight in separate courts.
Guanyue glanced at it indifferently, then shook his head slightly. Just looking at Xuanjie, he knew how difficult it would be for the Great Spirit to make all the sects bow their heads and submit to his control.
However, this rule has been followed by the world of cultivation for a long time, and he has neither the intention nor the ability to change it.
"By God's blessing, the emperor has issued an edict. I have heard that the Lichen Great Sect in the South is a real person who is clean and honest, has a clean and virtuous character, is benevolent and charitable, and has the world in mind. Over the past six hundred years, he has protected all people and swept away the evil atmosphere in the South. His achievements have been great.
Great, today I recall his virtues and add the title of Zhen Guoda
De Ling Xiao Zhenren. There is also a famous Zhuang Wu Dao person who inherited the mantle of Jie Dharma. He has achieved great success in his studies and reached the highest position in the world. He is the best in the world with his swordsmanship. He also cares about the common people and is virtuous and benevolent. Now he is awarded Xiaogan Zhenguo Ling Yun to Wu Zhenren
.I also gave you a purple robe, jade belt, and a gold medal with a dragon pattern. I admire this."
Xuanjie's eyes narrowed, but his heart was filled with excitement. He looked up at the imperial edict scroll in Guanyue's hand, but for a moment, he thought he was dreaming. He hesitated in his heart and did not dare to take it.
Zhenguo Zhenren. Actually Zhenguo Zhenren
The real person Xuanling, the real person protecting the law, the real person holding the country, the real person protecting the country, the real person Zhenguo——
In the Great Spirit Kingdom, Zhenguo Zhenren is the highest-ranking among several real person titles bestowed upon him, and his status is equivalent to that of the prince of the Great Spirit Kingdom.
Even the Tiandao Alliance is just Luo Tianshu and Yuan Daozi, and even Guanyue and Feng Zhuhan are just the protectors of the country.
And in the past ten thousand years of the Great Spirit, there has never been a precedent for a person from the sect to serve as the true protector of the Great Spirit.
Once you accept this position, in addition to receiving a large amount of tribute from the Great Spirit Kingdom every year, you will also be protected by the fortune of the Great Spirit Kingdom. It is said that it is quite beneficial in the underworld. There are many cases that have been secretly confirmed.
Some aristocratic cultivating families have little doubts about the true nature of the Great Spirit.
Human names and positions are all sought after. However, after taking the real person's position, they will also be connected with the Great Spirit Kingdom, and their fate will be connected from now on. You must do your best for the great spirit's country. If the great spirit's national destiny is damaged, the person who receives the real person's title will also
For some injuries, the more involved they are, the more serious the damage will be.
In short, there are advantages and disadvantages. The advantages outweigh the disadvantages. There are benefits but also sacrifices.
However, Xuanjie is not a fool, and he knows that people must ask for something from others. Although Li Chen has shown signs of prosperity, it seems that he is not worthy of the Great Ling royal family's heavy investment in winning over him.
For the two Zhenguo Zhenren, Dalingguo's bets to show their goodwill are not unreasonable, and their intentions to win over them are not sincere. They even go so far as to tie up Jiefa and Zhuangzhenren's master and disciple. It is clear that they are bound to win.
If Master Zhuang learns of this, he will definitely not refuse it for the sake of Master's integrity.
Although that real person is often selfish and considers himself to be ruthless and righteous. But in fact, everyone in the Lichen Sect knows that this person is actually one of the few people in the world of cultivation who values love and righteousness.
people.
But it was precisely because of this that Xuanjie did not dare to be careless. It was actually because of the purpose and intentions of the Great Spirit Kingdom, which made people suspicious.
"Fellow Taoist Xuanjie, what does this mean? Are you unwilling to accept the order?"
Guanyue Sanren directly pressed him with words, which made everyone around him look at him with confused expressions. However, Xuanjie couldn't help grinding his teeth secretly, knowing that if he uttered words of rejection in front of this large crowd, it would be equivalent to being in the Great Spirit Kingdom.
Yan's face was slapped hard.
The other party's move was actually forcing him to accept the edict. He secretly felt bitter in his heart, why did Guanyue Sanren come to force him? This person usually seems gentle and kind, but in fact he is full of evil.
Nowadays, there is no one in Lichen Sect in Lingjing who can make the decision on Lichen’s behalf, and no one has made an explanation beforehand. If he accepts this edict, I am afraid that it will definitely be received by the Xingdian and the Yuanshen elders afterwards.
He wanted to be held accountable. But if he didn't accept it, he couldn't bear the responsibility of falling out with Dalingguo.
Guanyue seemed to have seen through Xuanjie's thoughts, and smiled slightly: "Friend Haojiao learned that the person who was also canonized as Zhenguo Zhenren was also Chiyin Cheng Yuxu Xuanyu. Not long ago, Chiyin
The Taoist master in the city has received the canonization talisman edict."
Xuanjie's expression relaxed slightly. Did Master Yuxu Xuanyu also accept the position of Master Zhenguo?
In an instant, he understood in his heart that the Great Ling Kingdom's move was to completely pull the two real people onto its own warship.
Only when these two people accepted the title of Zhenguo Zhenren, and their fates were connected, and they advanced and retreated together, could the Great Lingyan clan put aside all worries and devote all their efforts to the Three Saints Sect.
Deciding to choose the lesser of the two evils, Xuanjie made an instant decision and bowed again: "Xiao Dao Xuanjie respectfully accepts the imperial edict and represents my master in Jiazhuang. Thank you Emperor Ling for your kindness."
Guanyue Sanren handed over the edict, and his mind was no longer on Xuanji. Instead, he was looking at the top ten rankings of the Tianji Monument with a confused look on his face.
After the defeat of Liaoyuan Temple, there will definitely be a storm that will sweep across the entire Tianyi cultivation world.
Although the Tiandao Alliance is subordinate to the Great Spirit, supported by the royal family and obeys its orders, it is different from the Yan family.
The people of the Yan family all want to get rid of the Three Saints Sect and then quickly. Before the war at Shiling Buddha Cave, they were inclined to join forces with Lichen. They will never miss this opportunity this time, and they are not willing to let the prairie fire burn and lead to the end of the world.
An opportunity for people from the upper world to come through the sky.
However, within the Tiandao Alliance, the majority are still dominated by Lord He.
But the matter has come to this, no matter he or the Taoist friends in the alliance, from the moment he joined the Tiandao Alliance, there is no way out.
