Following the outcome of the battle at the Shiling Buddhist Cave, the huge trend began to spread to the East China Sea and the north of the Zangxuan River. The buildings for guests under Lichen Mountain were also quickly filled to capacity.
Almost every day, countless monks rushed to Lichen. It was no longer limited to the surrounding sects, but all the big and small forces from all over the country also came one after another to pay tribute to Lichen.
The ten major sects, the four major aristocratic families, the three major casual cultivators' alliances, and the three major spiritual merchants. Except for those families that have insoluble grudges with the Lichen Sect, almost all Yuanshen monks came to express their condolences.
The Ning clan of the Central Plains, whom Zhuang Wudao had offended, also had an ancestor of Yuanshen who traveled thousands of miles to come.
However, thanks to Yun Lingyue's auspices, although there are many people from all over the world, there is no hustle and bustle in this mountain, which is three thousand miles away from the dust. Instead, it is quiet and solemn. This is because all the sects and countries are facing each other from top to bottom.
Chen, the new overlord of the southeast, maintains enough awe that he does not dare to disobey the rules of the Lichen Sect. No one dares to deliberately cause trouble. Knowing that now, the Lichen Sect is eager to establish its prestige.
, no one dares to hit the muzzle of this gun.
He received visitors from all over the place, and there were people who attended the ceremony. Most of the time, Zhuang Wudao only had to sit quietly in front of the Jie Dharma Spirit.
I originally thought that I had not been able to practice in this month, and it happened to be at the point where I had just advanced and my realm was unstable, so I was afraid that my cultivation would deteriorate a lot.
But to Zhuang Wudao's expectation, ten days later, Zhuang Wudao had made great progress in his cultivation. This was because he was meditating on the past in front of the Jie Fa Spirit, the Jie Fa Zhenren during his lifetime, and himself.
All things in life, the soul and soul have been refined and sublimated, and the true energy and mana that has been sorted out by Yu Yunqin have also been further refined.
This is the way to practice. Before reaching Yuanshen, the emphasis was on bravery and diligence. But after reaching Yuanshen, the advancement of practice is no longer something that can only be solved by hard work. What matters more is opportunity and the cultivation of one's state of mind.
On the road, if you stop occasionally, look around, and reflect on yourself, you can gain a lot.
Just like Zhuang Wudao at this moment, it was only then that his cultivation was truly stabilized, and it was even more improved than during the battle at Shiling Buddha Cave.
Zhuang Wudao did not deliberately measure his physical strength, but he estimated that it should be about 60,000 elephants. At the extreme, he could exert a huge force of 27 million elephants.
In the realm of Yuanshen, purely in terms of power, he should be the number one. However, there are very few Tao that can be combined. Even if there are Xuantian Tao seeds of Master Jiefa, Zhuang Wudao still needs time to refine them one by one.
Therefore, among the top ten of Tianji Monument, he is still ranked eighth.
However, during these thirty days, Zhuang Wudao actually couldn't have much peaceful time. He could pretend to be one of the top ten masters in the cultivation world and refuse to see most of the visitors. But there were some people who had to come out to entertain them.
Such as the Hong De Zhenren of Chiyin City, the envoys of the Great Ling Royal Family, Wen Ming Sanren of the Tiandao Alliance, etc. There are also some forces who come to meet Zhuang Wudao and intend to take refuge in Li Chen. They must not be cold.
The hearts of these people are like those of the great sect Shenhui Palace in the north of the Zangxuan River, which is on par with the Yunshui Tiangong, Fenglinxue Pavilion.
This sect is located further north of Yunshui Tiangong, with its back to Jidong Shenyuan, and has two real Yuanshen. This time, the visitor to Shenhui Palace is the current co-owner of this palace, Old Man Fushan.
Zhuang Wudao actually didn't understand why this man would abandon the Qiantian Sect, which was about the same distance from Lichen and was obviously more powerful, and choose to join Lichen.
But now that people are here, they can't be turned away. Lichen's only ally in Jiangbei is the Liuli Temple, which is still a little weak. Moreover, the sect has just been prepared to move, and its power is not yet stable. With the addition of a Shenhui Palace, it can be formed A solid barrier.
As for Yunshui Tiangong and Fenglinxue Pavilion, which also had envoys arriving, no one from the Lichen Sect can trust them. Even if the two families are sincere this time, it will take some time to investigate before making any decisions.
The meeting place was a quiet room next to the mourning hall of Zhenfa Zhenren. Although Old Man Fushan called himself an old man, he was actually only more than four hundred years old. In the middle stage of Yuanshen, he was considered extremely young in the Yuanshen realm.
On the first day they met, Fushan old man just stared at Zhuang Wudao and looked him up and down with doubts in his eyes.
Yun Lingyue, who was sitting next to him, could understand the surprise of the old man Fushan.
More than ten days ago, Zhuang Wudao could only reach the stage of self-disappearance of his true essence. However, more than ten days later, Zhuang Wudao's energy was no different from that of an ordinary Yuan Shen monk. He was neither overly restrained nor restrained. Showing arrogance and arrogance.
More than ten days ago, he still felt a little uncomfortable in front of Zhuang Wudao. He was almost breathless due to the invisible and compelling pressure, especially the pressure on his soul. More than ten days later, Yun Lingyue was again I don’t feel it anymore, and I can already get along with each other as usual.
Zhuang Wudao didn't feel displeased with the strange behavior of the old man in Fushan. This was because most of the Yuanshen Taoist friends who came to see him recently had such expressions.
Only Old Man Fushan is more straightforward and unabashed.
"Listen to what my senior brother said, Fellow Taoist Fushan is here today to conclude an alliance with our sect?"
"There is indeed an intention to form an alliance." Fushan turned around with a solemn expression: "But before forming an alliance, I still need to see Master Zhuang. I want to know whether the eighth person in the world is worthy of his name, and whether the Lichen Sect has enough strength. Protect our clan."
"In other words, the previous words were just to deceive my senior brother?"
Yun Lingyue's expression was slightly cold, but Zhuang Wudao was not annoyed. Instead, there was a smile in his eyes: "Now, how do you feel, my friend? Are you willing to be allies of our sect?"
The old man from Fushan looked at Zhuang Wudao deeply, and after a long time, he bowed again and said, "Zhuang Zhenzhen is blessed with talents, how dare Shenhui Palace not follow suit?"
After hearing this, Yun Lingyue's face regained a little warmth. But after that, there was basically nothing to do. She could only sit with each other and watch the two people in front of them discuss the details of the alliance. , and some trivial matters.
It took half a day before everything was settled, and the two of them sent Old Fushan away together, who looked quite satisfied.
But as soon as this person left, Yun Lingyue's expression suddenly turned cold again. Zhuang Wudao also felt something strange for the first time.
"But I feel like there's something wrong with the old man from Fushan and Shenhui Palace?"
"That's not true."
Yun Ling Yueshen shook his head and said in a calm tone: "This old man from Fushan is quite sincere, so there shouldn't be any problems. It's just that I feel that lately, there have been too many people who have come specifically to test the reality of my junior brother."
"It's indeed a bit strange."
Zhuang Wudao gave a cold look, with a bit of doubt in his eyes: "I thought these people should know who I am."
When he met with those Yuanshen monks these days, he made no secret of his state of mind, just to warn some people and let some people give up their bad thoughts.
Unfortunately, contrary to expectations, this approach seems to be counterproductive.
There is also the death of Chi Ming Ling. After more than twenty days, the news should have spread long ago. It is said that this achievement is enough to make most people avoid fear and horror. But Zhuang Wudao deliberately killed Chi Ming Ling this time.
The effect of grandma's life to establish authority is limited to the Tiannan Forest.
Those who want to know his true situation are not only his allies, but also his enemies.
"The problem is that many people think that Wu Dao is bluffing and doing so on purpose."
Yun Lingyue smiled bitterly. In this world, there are really too many ways to disguise one's own realm. Illusions, secrets, elixirs, etc.——
So even if those people see it with their own eyes, most of them don’t believe it.
"But it's no wonder. If I hadn't tried it with you personally, it would be hard for me to believe that you can control all the energy and magic power. At least forty years of hard work, just overnight,
Finish."
"Senior brother, you don't believe it either? So that's the case, but it was a mistake on my part."
Zhuang Wudao smiled instead of getting angry. These people were not only spying on his current cultivation level. I'm afraid they also wanted to see how his injuries were after the battle with Zhenyi.
Logically speaking, even if he has Xuantian Guizang Qi in his body, he cannot be completely unscathed.
Zhuang Wudao was also puzzled, why was there no news from Chiyin City? If it was known that he and Yu Yunqin were dual cultivators, then they should know that his hidden dangers have been eliminated now.
Is Chiyin City deliberately concealing it? Or is it Yu Yunqin who doesn't want others to know?
But this time, those people should have heard about his entry and exit into Chiyin City.
——However, if you think about it carefully, in order to hide from the Divine Extermination Sword this time, several people were extremely careful when entering and leaving the Lihan Palace, and the movement they caused was very small.
As for Chiyin City, there are no more than ten people in total who know about this matter.
