Chapter 161 - The Map of Mountains and Rivers (2/2)

The atmosphere of the meet had already reached a climax before it even started.

That was not the end.

When the two immortals from the two sects returned to the “observatory” on the two Immortal Islands, another chuckle sounded in the air.

A cloud flew over from the horizon. In the blink of an eye, it arrived in front of the immortals. There seemed to be a figure inside, and a wisp of mysterious and peaceful Dao runes slowly spread out in the world. Li Changshou raised his eyebrows. He was very familiar with the Dao runes!

When he looked up, he saw a blurry figure jumping out of the clouds. Instead of saying that the figure was hiding the clouds, it was more like the clouds had condensed into a figure. Great Daoist Master, how many layers of blurry effects have you used…

In the air, Guang Chengzi was the first to stand up. He shouted, “Senior Brother Xuan Du is here too. It’s really rare for him to be here today! I’m a disciple of Chan School. I’ll pay my respects to you, Uncle-Master!” The people from Jie School also did not want to be outdone. Daoist Duobao shouted, “Greetings, Senior Brother Xuan Du. We are disciples of Jie School. Greetings, Uncle-Master.”

At that moment, the immortals of the three sects in the sky, and the immortals below all performed a Dao salute.

The moment he appeared, he became the center of attention… Ahem, the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du laughed heartily. He kept bowing in the air.

At that moment, the Great Daoist Master was even more determined about something.

It would be too awkward to have a junior brother deal with such an occasion alone. By the lake, the Six Immortal Sects of Ren School, which were originally weak, were all strangely excited.

Li Changshou’s tensed up heart finally relaxed.

The Great Daoist Master had also arrived. He would act according to the Great Daoist Master’s hints later. He would just hide in the crowd and be an ordinary disciple.

It was none other than… the three sects being at the peak of their power while both the Chan School and Jie School hid their intentions.

The Dao originated from the three sects of Kunlun, and the laws originated from the Purple Cloud Palace.

…

Three Immortal Islands floated in the sky. Hundreds of Immortal Sects of the Three Schools were gathered below. The Three Sects’ Meet would officially begin there.

However, because there were too many heavyweight experts from the three sects, the original plan was also disrupted.

The five Immortal Sects that were in charge of that matter were only running errands at the moment. Guang Chengzi, the leader of the twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, was the first to step forward. He sat on the cloud very naturally and began narrating about the origin of the three sects. This time, he really started from the beginning of the universe…

First, he said that after Pangu split Heaven and Earth, his essence soul turned into three friends.

Then, he told them about the three of them traveling together in the Primordial World. They communicated with the Connate lifeforms and had intimate contact with the Great Dao.

Then, he said that when he, Guang Chengzi, joined the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning, he had a whale of a time in a small courtyard of the Dao Sect’s Holy Land, the Kunlun Mountain.

After Guang Chengzi finished his speech, Daoist Duobao stood up. He was quite happy to talk about the scoldings from the Saint that he had suffered in the past.

He still remembered that they had run around innocently under the setting sun… That was the first segment of the Three Sects’ Meet that was naturally formed—the disciples of the Saint would reminisce about the good and bad times.

The second segment of the meet had been prepared beforehand. The Sect Leaders of the various Immortal Sects explained the origins and backgrounds of their Immortal Sects. For example, the Sect Leader of the Immortal Du Sect, Daoist Wuyou, said that his master was Perfected Dule whom he had followed for a long time back then. He also talked about why he had established a sect later on. Ren School had a total of six Dao factions, and they were soon finished with the story.

However, when the immortals of Jie School and Chan School began to talk about their own backgrounds and who their founder was… some of the three elderly immortals on the Immortal Island secretly pinched their fingers to deduce. Soon, they revealed a little realization. It turned out that a long time ago, they had even taught those Qi Refinement cultivators…

Li Changshou sat in an inconspicuous corner and looked up at the magnificent scenery in the clouds. He could not help but feel emotional.

It would be great if there were no tribulations in the future.

Of course, those were just idealistic words. Many things were fixed, and it was also a principle that humans could not change.

Everything in the world was at its peak. Everything had its principles. Heaven and earth did not allow living beings to be too strong. If one wanted to live forever, he would have to let nature…

Wait!

Li Changshou growled in his heart and forcefully cut off his own comprehension. He quietly absorbed the existing insights and suppressed them in his heart.

Just a little more and he would not be able to control his epiphany. Furthermore, that epiphany would definitely allow him to break through a small realm!

It was really too dangerous…

After Ling’e’s example, Li Changshou naturally had to be cautious.

Don’t think too much…

Li Changshou heaved a sigh of relief and continued to listen to the immortals of the Three Sects talk about the past.

If the conference was just like that, Li Changshou felt that it would be quite meaningful. The Immortal Sects of the Three Schools would be very stable for a long time.

However, just as Li Changshou had expected, the ‘match-up’ segment soon arrived in a method that he did not expect.

The elders of the three sects were all there. There were too many disciples below who had yet to become immortals. They could not compete one after another…

Therefore, Yun Zhongzi, the Golden Immortal of Chan School and the Primordial Refinement Grandmaster, who was known as the number one “counterfeit of the Primordial World” stood up with a flower basket.

The old immortal took out a Postnatal numinous treasure, a “Jiangshan Small Country” painting. There was a Minor Chiliocosm in the painting, and there were hundreds of “little treasures” that Yun Zhongzi had casually refined. Hundreds of immortals from Jie School flew away, grabbed a bunch of ferocious beasts, and placed them in the map.

The five Immortal Sects that took on the role of the organizers had also set the rules. All the younger disciples who were less than 200 years old today could enter. Those who performed well would receive handsome rewards…

Later on, as long as he stood up, he would be included in the painting.

Hence, the Sect Leaders and elders of the various immortal sects instructed their disciples. Half of the disciples stood up and were taken away by the beam that flew out of the painting. Li Changshou did not move at all. He sat there steadily.

He… would not embarra.s.s the Immortal Du Sect.

However, at that moment, a certain immortal on the cloud smiled and flicked his finger seamlessly. Li Changshou had a hint of enlightenment in his heart which condensed into a single word.

“Go.”

Li Changshou frowned and felt a little apprehensive. However, he did not hesitate. He followed the “teachings of the Saint” and greeted the little bear beside him. The two of them stood up together. Great Daoist Master Xuan Du blinked while he was on the cloud. Only then did he notice that there was an iron tower beside Li Changshou. The Great Daoist Master’s expression was a little strange.

A golden beam of light flew over and pulled Li Changshou and Xiong Lingli into the painting. As for the Golden Immortal Yun Zhongzi of Chan School who was controlling the painting, he frowned slightly.

Why are these two disciples of Ren School So… heavy?
