78 -70: The Grandmaster of Taiqing Descends, Escape to Survival
Yu Hua was a hundred miles from Bianjing when a clear light descended from the sky, and the figure of a Daoist, ethereal as white jade, appeared, his aura like a white cloud.
Sanqing Taoist Sect, Taiqing Sect leader, Yun Miao Venerable.
Yun Miao Venerable spoke in an even tone,
“Fellow Daoist Ao, please stop, and Heavenly Girl, listen to my words.”
A mass of white clouds enveloped the two, and the old donkey couldn’t penetrate even slightly, and of course, he didn’t think of breaking the opponent’s Daoist Skill.
This was the leader of the Taiqing Sect, and although he wasn’t the current Venerable, there was no guarantee that within the next millennium, he wouldn’t be the one to take over as Venerable.
Yu Hua coldly said, “Is Uncle Master Yun Miao trying to stop me?”
“I am no Huayang, who I have already stopped, but I won’t stop you.
Since the Heavenly Girl has grown her wings, she can naturally speak to the Daoist Sect about her direction, and there are some things that you should also know.”
Yun Miao Venerable waved his sleeve to dissipate the cloud and mist.
He had no intention of intervening in the matter of becoming an Immortal, but he suddenly felt a great catastrophe approaching and couldn’t help but come to see what this Heavenly Girl of his own family was planning to do.
“A thousand years ago, the theft of the Scripture Pavilion in the Daoist Sect led to the upheaval we see today in Daqian.
It wasn’t because the Daoist Sect changed the Guardian for profit, but because by the time the Daoist Sect was aware, the Gu family was already gone, and the Lord Emperor had information about the Immortality Pill.”
Yu Hua retorted, “The Daoist Sect has fifteen True Monarchs, are they afraid of him alone?”
“I am better than him by a bit, and naturally, the Daoist Sect won’t be afraid of him either.”
Yun Miao Venerable continued, his tone unfluctuating,
“It’s just that the Daoist Sect and he reached an agreement to seek the Immortality Pill and give him a slice of its root.
The price is that he will take over the powers of the Guardian, and the two of you together can handle any sect’s blockade with ease.
Without him, if you become enemies with him, the sect can only help you hold off a few old monsters.”
“Why, then, would the Daoist Sect, for a mere mortal, expose the Immortality Pill and push the revival of Qingcang Master towards no hope?”
Yu Hua said, “Gu Wen is already at the Third Level of Dao Foundation, and possesses a dharma form of the military way.”
“He indeed has the demeanor of a Daoist child, and the Daoist Sect will naturally protect his life, only, it would not be worth it to break with the Lord Emperor.”
Yun Miao Venerable slightly shook his head as he was aware of Gu Wen’s talents, as well as the demands of the Lord Emperor.
This wasn’t a single choice issue; the Lord Emperor didn’t want Gu Wen’s life, just that Gu Wen stayed in Bianjing.
Yu Hua’s voice turned slightly cold, “So, does the Daoist Sect mean to make him suffer once more?”
“For the greater good, the Daoist Sect and Daqian will compensate him.”
Yun Miao Venerable said something that Yu Hua found extremely discomforting.
She had thought the same half a year ago; did they now want her to make the same mistake again?
“Unless you have other reasons, why would the Daoist Sect indulge him?
I won’t stop you, but can you stop all the True Monarchs of the world?”
Yu Hua’s gaze sank slightly, thousand of Divine Thoughts swirling, unable to make a decision immediately.
Should she expose Gu Wen’s talents?
Would revealing his talents make the situation even worse?
At this moment, everyone knew Gu Wen had achieved the Third Level of Dao Foundation, but believed he cultivated the Cultivation Technique left by the Gu family, which meant he had achieved the Third Level of Dao Foundation in five years, making him a top genius. freewebnσvel.cѳm
But only she knew, Gu Wen had cultivated only half a year to reach the Third Level of Dao Foundation, and had also understood from the Xuanming Spear his own dharma form.
She hadn’t given him any insights into the military way, yet Gu Wen forcibly stepped out his own military dharma form.
Thus, no reason was needed, nor needed to be explained.
Yu Hua slightly lifted her head, and the third eye on her brow shone radiantly, the surrounding white clouds shattering inch by inch.
“I indulge him, and that is sufficient.”
Yun Miao Venerable paused briefly, then lightly smiled, “Well said, great power, the utmost that can be achieved.”
He stepped aside and no longer obstructed.
Yu Hua knew what she was doing, and was ready to bear the consequences.
She was no longer just a disciple of the sect, and had the entitlement to make decisions; the Daoist Sect cultivated disciples, not slaves.
What is the purpose of cultivation?
It is to seek a portion of carefree life.
As for the grand plans of the sect, the Daoist Sect was not yet at a stage where it had to rely on so-called grand plans to survive.
At least, Yun Miao Venerable didn’t think so; if no one became an Immortal, why shouldn’t it be he himself?
“But you have already gone against the consensus of the sect, and the Daoist Sect won’t help you anymore; whether the sect’s True Monarchs will assist you is for them to decide.”
The old donkey was flustered; he hadn’t expected things to turn out like this, and that the Daoist Sect would just give up their full support for Yu Hua so suddenly.
It was as if a state policy of the dynasty had been suddenly abolished; protecting Yu Hua was no longer an obligation.
But this was just the appearance.
With Yun Miao Venerable’s arrival, it also meant that Huayang had lost his influence.
Did it mean…
he was moving up a level?
In the Four Realms, Twelve Levels, the Fourth Realm is honored as True Monarchs, and most remained at the First Level, the Enlightenment Realm, including himself.
The other two levels were Harmonization and Attainment, which were not two sequential stages but two different branching paths.
It was the ancient dispute between Innate and Transient; Innates pursued Harmonization, Transients pursued Enlightenment.
Those who harmonized, melded with heaven and earth.
Those who attained, transcended heaven and earth.
People used to think the path of Enlightenment was stronger, transcending heaven and earth was a phrase that inherently inspired longing, and Qingcang Daoist was also a transcendent.
Later, people realized it was Qingcang who was powerful, not Enlightenment itself.
Yun Miao Venerable followed the path of Harmonization, Huayang Venerable the path of Enlightenment.
The Daoist Sect was indeed experiencing troubled times.
Yu Hua rode the dragon horse towards Bianjing, when suddenly Yun Miao Venerable called out to her, pointing in another direction.
“You’re going the wrong way.”
—————–
Bianjing.
Gu Wen and Wenren Wu each took ten steps back, both were injured, but it was only Gu Wen who was losing; it was merely a matter of how much he was losing.
Yet, the surrounding onlookers were all stunned, no one dared to call him weak.
To fight a True Monarch with only a Third Level Dao Foundation and merely be disadvantaged, this was truly an unprecedented event.
