Those old Daoists looked old, and it wasn't known how long they had lived for. Their long brows and long hair were snow-white, and they sat there motionless. They opened their blurry eyes and had a serene expression.
Even though their eyes were blurry, terrifying light would burst forth from their eyes from time to time. It was evident that their cultivation was immeasurably deep.
There were also some Daoists that looked much younger, but it was only in comparison to the old Daoists. These Daoists weren't young, and they all had white hair. Even their clothes were turning white from washing too much. Some had tattered Dao robes, and some of their shoes were already torn, revealing several toes.
Qin Mu looked around, and he noticed a few people that wore fresher clothes.
One of them was a middle-aged man that wore a yellow colored Dao crown with a purple cord on a seal around his body. There was a horsetail whisk in his hand and a sword on his waist. He must be the sect master of Clear Sky Heaven.
The others should be the guests from the celestial heavens, and they were all very young. Most of them were youths that had delicate facial features, and they were looking curiously at Qin Mu and Dao Master Lin Xuan who were walking in.
The strange thing was that Clear Sky Sect Master wasn't sitting at the highest position. He was sitting one level below them, which showed that his position was slightly lower than those youths.Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click for visiting.
Those youths also weren't sitting in the highest position. On the highest position was the god statue of Dao Ancestor. It should be a wooden sculpture that was from a very long time ago.
That sculpture was about thirty yards tall, and it was a sloppy Daoist that had a horsetail whisk on his back. There was a strange compass in his hand as he bowed with the compass stretched forward. The gaze of the sloppy Daoist was on the compass.
The wooden sculpture was remarkably true to life and was very vivid.
'It's indeed him.'
Qin Mu revealed a smile. This sloppy Daoist was that Daoist that he had met in the Jade Pool Meeting. The one that had attended the meeting with the young Brahma Buddha.
Back then, the Daoist didn't do anything at all and just research his algebra daily while Brahma went around begging for spirit pills, relying on his spirit pills to keep both of them alive. Moreover, Brahma had quite the temper and was insistent on not taking more than the spirit pills he had begged for. He said that it would spoil his cultivation.
”The Dao Sect of the lower bound was established by the exiled disciples of the Dao Sect. They once assisted Founding Emperor during Founding Emperor Era and did things that are rebellious, so they are actually guilty.”
The position of Clear Sky Sect Master was very high, and he looked at Lin Xuan and Daoist Cha from high above. He explained the origin of Eternal Peace's Dao Sect and said at a steady pace, ”On the other hand, my Clear Sky Heaven is also called Clear Sky Sect. It was established by the disciples taught personally by Dao Master when they came to reside here. Back then, after Founding Emperor's rebellion, Clear Sky Heaven lay hidden in the heavens of the Primordial Realm and sealed the sky of Eternal Peace on orders. With the rules of the celestial heavens, Eternal Peace's Dao Sect was to be eradicated, but it was me who pleaded with the celestial heavens to spare you guys. Little Friend Lin, you just said that my Clear Sky Heaven is a branch of your Dao Sect, now do you know the whole story?”
One of the old Daoists beside him sneered and said, ”Little Friend Lin, aren't you going to pay your respects to Sect Master?”
Dao Master Lin Xuan bowed and greeted Clear Sky Sect Master, ”Senior brother.”
All of the Daoists frowned, and they shouted, ”Absolutely disgraceful! Why aren't you kneeling down?”
Lin Xuan greeted, and his greeting was a greeting to another person of the same seniority. According to the rules, it should be the greeting of a junior to a senior, kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times!
Qin Mu said with a smile, ”Since you are both from the Dao Sect, for him to kneel and worship, can you take the greeting when you aren't even Dao Ancestor?”
”I have the three treasures that Dao Ancestor handed down. The horsetail whisk, the Dao shoes, and the Dao crown that represents Dao Ancestor, so naturally I can take Little Friend Lin's kneel and worship.”
Clear Sky Sect Master had a snow-white gaze as he looked at Qin Mu. ”Eternal Peace's Heavenly Saint Cult Master, also known as Overlord Body Qin Mu. Little Friend Lin is of the same sect, and I also acknowledge him as a junior brother, so he doesn't need to kneel. But why are you not paying your respects to me?”
Qin Mu was speechless, and he burst out into laughter. ”Let's not say how you can't take my worship. Even if Dao Ancestor comes here personally, he also can't take my worship. If I worship you, your lifespan will be reduced.”
Clear Sky Sect Master waved his horsetail whisk and said leisurely, ”Eternal Peace, merely a small country. Any one of the twenty-four kingdoms of gods under my Clear Sky Heaven is no smaller than Eternal Peace Empire. You are merely the cult master of a small sect in a small country, I can take your worship.”
He gave a faint smile and said, ”Behind me are the emissaries of the celestial heavens. They represent the celestial heavens and symbolize the authority of Celestial Emperor, they also can take your worship. Overlord Body Qin, you can kneel and worship now.”
Those few youths from the celestial heavens sat on their thrones and looked at Qin Mu with much interest.
Qin Mu laughed loudly and shook his head. ”Since Sect Master wants me to worship, I should worship Dao Ancestor first. Little brats of the celestial heavens, fall back, don't block Dao Ancestor!”
Clear Sky Sect Master frowned and left his throne.
Those few youths from the celestial heavens also gave off soft laughter and left their seats.
Qin Mu walked forward and raised his head to look at the wooden sculpture of the sloppy Daoist. He said with a smile, ”Old Daoist, Mu has come to visit you. Your disciples have asked me to worship you. I going to kneel down right now!”
Just as he lifted the corner of his clothes, that wooden sculpture of Dao Ancestor suddenly exploded into pieces with a loud bang!
All of the old Daoists in the Dao Palace jumped in shock. After seeing the wooden sculpture of Dao Ancestor split apart, Dao flames suddenly burst out and burned the sculpture into ashes!
Qin Mu laughed loudly and didn't kneel down. He turned around to face Clear Sky Sect Master and said loudly, ”Old Daoist, your disciples want me to worship your Dao crown, Dao shoes, and horsetail whisk, to worship these three treasures means that I'm worshipping you. In that case, here's my worship!”
The moment he tried to kneel down, the Dao crown on Clear Sky Sect Master's head suddenly exploded with a pop. The horsetail whisk in his hands suddenly burst into flames, and the Dao shoes on his feet instantly turned into ashes!
Qin Mu straightened his back and looked at the helpless Clear Sky Sect Master. He said with a smile that was yet not a smile, ”Sect Master, now you know you can't take my worship. Even Dao Ancestor can't take my worship. Take back your awe-inspiring authority.”
Clear Sky Sect Master's hair was messy, and he threw away the horsetail whisk that had turned into ashes. He stood there barefoot, not knowing what to do.
The other old Daoists were astonished, and they were also at a loss. 'Is the overlord body that powerful? Even Dao Ancestor doesn't dare to take his worship?'
