Chapter 161 The Map of Mountains and Rivers
Are they really not here to fight? Li Changshou raised his head and looked at the huge dark clouds in the southeastern direction of the sky, as well as the white clouds in the north-west direction. He sensed the aura on them…
Seriously, he almost escaped!
Li Changshou had even thought of the headline for a non-existent tabloid of the Primordial World. “Tragic: A huge battle is about to break out during the Three Sects’ Meet. The mighty figures are attacking one after another. There is no guarantee that there will be no casualties!” The reason that Li Changshou stayed was because an immortal from Chan School flew out first…
He wore a pearl crown and a pair of embroidered boots. He was dressed in a white robe with auspicious clouds and immortal cranes embroidered on it. His wide sleeves fluttered in the wind, and there seemed to be an entire universe inside.
The disciples below could not see the Daoist’s face clearly. They could only vaguely sense that he was a middle-aged Daoist.
He flew out from the side where the sixty-odd immortals from the Jade Void Palace were standing at. He took a few steps forward and arrived at the center. He smiled at the immortals of Jie School and said in a clear voice, “Junior Brothers and Sisters of Jie School, why are you so aggressive? What are you doing?”
Is he really going to fight? Li Changshou sighed in his heart and secretly took out two special talismans…
Then, they heard a chuckle coming from the dark clouds of the immortals. “We’re naturally here to join in the fun. Senior Brother Guang Chengzi, how have you been recently?”
A woman in a colorful dress flew out of the cloud and bowed to Guang Chengzi.
The woman did not use any technique to conceal her appearance and aura. Her figure was slender, and her long hair was tied up into a slanted ponytail. Her face was naturally beautiful and gorgeous, but compared to her appearance, what made the Qi Refinement cultivators even more amazed were her cultivation, temperament, and Dao runes.
Guang Chengzi immediately smiled and said, “Thank you for your concern, Junior Sister Jin Ling. I’m a disciple of the Jade Void Palace. Greetings.”
With that said, Guang Chengzi bowed towards the southeast. The dozens of Immortals from Chan School who were behind him, the “leader of the twelve Golden Immortals”, followed suit and greeted them.
The “Junior Sister Jin Ling” on the other side was the G.o.ddess Jin Ling who was one of the top four disciples of Jie School. At that moment, she imitated and said,
“On behalf of the disciples of Jie School, greetings, Second Uncle-Master.” At that moment, the thousands of immortals from Jie School… who probably amounted to two thousand, bowed in the direction of the Kunlun Mountain.
Many immortals from Jie School sighed in their hearts.
When it came to etiquette, the disciples of Jie School were far inferior to the senior disciple of Chan School.
Greeting the Saint through the air upon seeing the Saint’s disciples. That was something they could not think of.
Li Changshou, who was below, nodded secretly. He did not go there in vain today. The culture of Chan School was indeed very beneficial to his own Dao…
Li Changshou felt slightly relieved when he saw the people in the sky bowing to each other.
The Three Sects’ Meet should be a node where the Dao Sect would continue to prosper. Moreover, the conflict between the two factions, Chan School and Jie School, was not huge at the moment. The only difference was that there were conflicts in the ideologies of the sects.
Of course, the current situation between the two parties was not quite stable. If both sides could sing and dance together, that would prove that there was no enmity between them.
Standing on the cloud in the sky, Guang Chengzi said, “Today is a gathering for the Three Sects of the Middle Continent. Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters, are you all here?”
G.o.ddess Jin Ling chuckled. Hundreds of flowers seemed to bloom in the sky. That trace of Dao runes seemed to be able to affect one’s mood. Many disciples below who had lower cultivation levels all revealed… silly smiles.
G.o.ddess Jin Ling smiled and said, “Only less than thirty percent have arrived. Senior Brother Zhao has gone to invite our Eldest Senior Brother.”
“Oh?” Guang Chengzi smiled when he heard that. “I never expected Third Uncle-Master to take this matter so seriously.” At that moment, G.o.ddess Jin Ling smiled awkwardly and did not explain further. She could not help but think about how she had been dragged out by Zhao Gongming in the Cave Abode…
Zhao Gongming was swearing something solemnly…
The disciples of the Saint of Ren School have a hundred percent chance of appearing. Even if our members from Jie School can’t achieve
ty-percent-attendance, we have to make sure that twenty to thirty percent of them show up!
Hence, that situation happened that day.
Guang Chengzi nodded slowly and did not ask further. He s.h.i.+fted his gaze downwards and said indifferently, “Those who took part in organizing this meeting today, come forward.”
As soon as he finished speaking, three men and two women flew into the air, followed by five old women. They were the Sect Leaders of the Golden Palace Sect, the Carefree Immortal Sect, and the other sects.
Hundreds of figures immediately flew out from behind the five of them. They were the Sect Leaders of the Immortal Sects of the Three Schools that were present today.
Those people bowed repeatedly in the air. As they had not practiced before, they appeared to be in a mess.
A while later, fairy-like figures flew over from all directions. Their dresses fluttered in the wind, and their slender fingers swayed gently. They scattered some powder and moist petals in the air.
The sound of drums and music rang out between the heavens and earth.
The disciples and members who were by the lake stood up and bowed to the sky. The scene was spectacular. Seeing that the lake below was too narrow, G.o.ddess Jin ling said, “Senior Brother Guang Chengzi, why don’t we just stay on the clouds? Don’t scare those disciples.”
Guang Chengzi nodded. Thus, the two immortals from the two sects sat cross-legged on the clouds. The disciples from the various sects below hurriedly moved two floating Immortal Islands over and turned them into a platform in the sky. Only then did the immortals from both sides not have to hover in midair.
However, soon after, they encountered some trouble…
The Jade Void Palace, Golden Ao Island, Peng Lai Island, and so on were all considered the Saint’s Daoist venues. Regardless of their cultivation level, the Immortals from those places were the “Origin Immortals” of today. According to the original plan of the grand meet, the five sect leaders of the Immortal Sects that organized the meet had to each call out the experts of their respective sects. That was why they were going through all the formalities.
At that moment, there were no attendees from Ren School. The Sect Leader of the Carefree Immortal Sect was the most relaxed because he had no one to call. There were not many disciples in the Jade Void Palace of Chan School. More than sixty people had arrived. Most of them were experts who had been famous for a long time. For example, Guang Chengzi, Chi Jingzi, Yun Zhongzi, Perfected Yuding, Carefree Immortal, and so on, were names that had been announced. The two Sect Leaders of Chan School and the Immortal Sect were already familiar with each other and would naturally not mistake each other.
However, on the other hand… the group of immortals from Jie School could not recognize each other!
At that moment, the two Sect Leaders of Jie School and the Immortal Sect were sweating profusely…
Fortunately, the two sides had discussed and only reported the official disciple of the Saint. That was the reason for the awkwardness. At that moment, six of the twelve Golden Immortals of the Jade Void Palace had arrived. There were three other disciples of the Saint who were not part of the twelve Golden Immortals. The rest were in-name disciples.
On Jie School’s side, only three personal disciples of the Saint had arrived. There were another three who were on their way.
When the five Sect Leaders announced the names of all the big shots, the disciples of the Immortal Sects of the Three Schools in the basin kept bowing to the sky and performing Dao salutes.
Xiong Lingli asked softly, “Cousin, who are these immortals?”
“These seniors and experts are the disciples of the Saint. They have endless good fortune and are extremely powerful. They are the top experts in the world.” Li Changshou replied with a smile, but he reminded her not to speak casually. Xiong Lingli replied obediently. She had been whipped alive, so she did not dare to cause trouble for her cousin, the Sea G.o.d. Another half a day later, three immortals flew over from the sky. One of them had a round face and a round belly. His smile was amiable which would make others think that he had good intentions at first sight. He was the eldest inner-sect disciple of Jie School, Daoist Duobao.
The person on the left had a stern face, a burly figure, and a beard. He was the eldest disciple of Jie School, the newly-advanced Primordial “conman” Grandmaster, Zhao Gongming.
On the right was a young girl. Her face was hidden in the clouds. They only knew that she was one of the famous Three Firmaments, Fairy Qiong Xiao when they reported her name.
The immortals from both sides bowed to each other. The disciples below stood up and Dao saluted each other. The sky and earth instantly shone with immortal light, and it was extremely lively. It was indeed rare for the two factions to gather together.
