Chapter 668: The Holy Sect Branch Office and the Imperial Edict

The people who were secretly watching Yu Lie and were shocked by the crowd of immortals in the sky came from Taozhou to congratulate him.

Although they still looked like people from Taozhou, they actually had the will of the ancient cultivators on them.

The two Taozhou Taoist masters in the lead, when they heard the ancient cultivators who were relying on them talking, stared at Yu Lie's head in a daze.

Seeing so many immortals appear in the daytime, the two Taozhou Taoist masters had very complicated emotions in their hearts.

For a moment, they didn't know whether they had secretly communicated with the outside world and colluded with the ancient cultivators, as the Taoist friend in the palace said before, they had done a big mistake, which would be the beginning of an irreparable disaster, and they were ashamed of their ancestors and disciples.

However, the complicated emotions only floated in their hearts for a few breaths, and their eyes became calm, and they no longer thought about it.

Now they regret it, as if they had the opportunity to choose at the beginning.

Moreover, in recent years, after joining the ancient cultivators, the living conditions of the entire Taozhou Taoist Palace have improved a lot compared to previous years.

Suddenly, a cold voice sounded in the minds of the Taozhou people at the same time:

"Don't act rashly, and continue to observe. If it is not necessary, don't expose yourself."

After the cold voice spoke, it also sent a gentle message to them: "Remember, compared to intelligence and other things, even if it involves the first-grade golden elixir, it is not as important as you.

You are the only branch of my Holy Sect that has been successfully opened in the Mountain and Sea Realm for tens of thousands of years. Protect yourself first!"

"Yes! Obey the order of the Venerable."

The two Taozhou Taoist masters and a group of Taozhou Taoists shouted in their hearts.

Afterwards, the Taozhou people lined up in the team, followed the flow of people, and met Yu Lie at the right time, and received Yu Lie's warm greetings.

The two Taoist masters saw that Yu Lie, who was only a Taoist disciple back then, was now on par with them and had a status a thousand times higher than theirs, and their mood was complicated again.

However, as spies for ancient cultivators for many years, the two had long learned how to perfectly conceal their expressions, without showing any abnormality, whether happy, proud, or flattering, which was not much different from other teams.

However, they did not know that it was precisely because their entire team was normal that Yu Lie became more alert.

After all, long before he came, Yu Lie had learned about the Taozhou ancient cultivators from Kuimulang and the others, and was quite suspicious of this group of Taoists.

Now Taozhou and Qianzhou are quite close to each other, and although the relationship is still good, facing the first-grade golden elixir from Qianzhou, no matter how generous and knowledgeable they are, it is impossible for everyone in the team to be like this, and there will definitely be people who show jealousy and other expressions.

"This group of people are too good at disguising themselves."

Yu Lie sighed in his heart: "It seems that Kuimulang and his group have not wronged Taozhou. It's a pity that Taozhou's ancestors sacrificed themselves back then."

Although he was alert in his heart, his face was normal, and he talked and laughed with them.

Once the work was done, Yu Lie did not deliberately arrange the best seats for Taozhou people to watch the ceremony, nor was he too enthusiastic, and treated them very normally.

His actions also made the Taozhou people, who were quite nervous, breathe a sigh of relief.

Some people even thought in their hearts: "It is said that the first-grade golden elixir is the son of the world's destiny, the most sensitive, and can see the slightest details... But now it seems that it is just like this."

When Taozhou and his group paid their respects, in addition to Yu Lie who seemed to have noticed something, there was also someone in the Huoluan Immortal Palace who was touched and secretly glanced at Taozhou people a few times.

This person is not Kuimu Lang or Jiaomu Jiao. Because these two guys have been in the palace for a short time, their relationship with Yu Lie is not close enough, and they are afraid of returning to the Mountain and Sea Realm, so they are placed in the Disaster Realm to look after the house.

The person who was touched was Tie Jianlan.

Tie Jianlan saw a familiar feeling from Taozhou's group without any clues.

This made her heart beat violently, and she hurriedly shouted in her heart: "Master, is the person from the sect you are looking for in that team?"

The remnant soul of Shi Hanzi suddenly woke up after being called by Tie Jianlan. After receiving the sensory transmission of Tie Jianlan, it immediately showed a look of surprise.

"Haha, that's right. If someone really has infiltrated the interior of this mountain and sea world, my disciple, you and I can return to the sect this time.

They must have a secret passage in the void that can connect to the mountain gate."

However, just after Shi Hanzi finished his words of surprise, he hesitated and said, "Hey, something is wrong. Although their behavior gives me a sense of the same origin, they must have met cultivators of our generation and were anchored.

But this aura doesn't seem to be from the sect, but more like..."

Shi Hanzi was thinking, and Tie Jianlan heard his words, and his mind changed slightly. He immediately suppressed his emotions and didn't dare to act rashly. He didn't even look at Taozhou's group again.

After a while, Tie Jianlan couldn't help but urge in his heart: "Master, what's wrong with them? Could it be that they are not from the sect?"

Shi Hanzi spoke slowly at this time:

"That's right. As a teacher, I observed their demeanor and found that apart from the vague feeling of common origin, I could not detect any other clues. This kind of concealment is definitely not something that our Taiyin Sword Sect can do.

And if they are from our sect, they will most likely be aware of your existence and will not turn a blind eye."

After a pause, Shi Hanzi judged: "The cultivators hidden in this group of Taozhou Taoists are probably the guys from Taisu Sect. They are best at mental images and illusions, specializing in the cultivation of the soul, and can control others and seize their foundations. They are very ghostly!

Even people from the same upper-class Taoist sects will be controlled by this group of guys from time to time and become their minions. Their most shocking record is that there was once a saint who, with a mere real elixir body, devoted herself to an immortal. As a result, not only did she not become a furnace, but she took the immortal as her servant and divided away half of the immortal's magic power, becoming an immortal on the spot, which is more powerful than ordinary golden elixir Taoist seeds. It's amazing."

Hearing this, Tie Jianlan couldn't help but feel her heart skip a beat, exclaiming:

"Even immortals can be subdued, and the magic power can be divided? What kind of skill is this!"

Shi Hanzi immediately sneered: "But you don't have to be too envious. The shortcuts you take will eventually pay off. The true meaning of their method is to use the world as a disaster, sharpen yourself, and finally achieve not seeking external things, so that you can go for a long time.

Otherwise, without that kind of mentality, even if you forcibly seize the magic power, either your future will be ruined, or you will end up as a plaything of a stronger person. And this kind of skill can easily change a person's temperament.

In the past, there was a person who usurped the foundation of a certain female cultivator. He was obviously a good man, but he became more and more sinister as he practiced, and finally became a man and a woman, but he called himself a celestial being and ended up with a crazy ending..."

Hearing this, Tie Jianlan felt awe in his heart, and his envy disappeared.

Although her aptitude is not as good as Yu Lie and other Dao Seeds, she is also a little proud in her heart. She is unwilling to take shortcuts, and she is even more unwilling to covet temporary achievements and plant the seeds of trouble in the future.

After suppressing her distracting thoughts, Tie Jianlan asked again:

"In this case, should we contact them? If so, how should we treat them?"

Shi Hanzi pondered for a long time before answering:

"There is no rush for this matter. Let's continue to watch this feast.

By the way, I always feel that this group of Taisu Sect guys are not just here to give gifts. You'd better find a way to remind Yu Lie."

Shi Hanzi smiled secretly: "Otherwise, if he is accidentally tricked by them, half of the foundation of the first-grade golden elixir will be taken away by others, and he will become the biggest joke among the first-grade golden elixirs from ancient times to the present."

This reminded Tie Jianlan.

Since the so-called Taisu Sect's method is so dependent on others, then Yu Lie's first-grade golden elixir is naturally a rare delicacy in their eyes. If they can seize it, they will have obtained a great fortune, comparable to becoming an immortal on the spot.

And this group of Taisu Sect monks lurking in Taozhou not only makes Shi Hanzi feel daunted, but can also successfully take root in the Mountain and Sea Realm. Their means and strength should never be underestimated.

"However, how should I remind Yu Lie?" Tie Jianlan frowned secretly.

Yu Lie also knew about Shi Hanzi's existence, and Yu Lie was even the first to contact Shi Hanzi. But he didn't know about the matter of defecting from the Mountain and Sea Realm. Tie Jianlan and Shi Hanzi couldn't tell a third person.

Just as Yu Lie was alert and Tie Jianlan was entangled, three days later, Yu Lie just received the large and small congratulatory teams.

By this time, the originally planned seven-day celebration had almost passed halfway, and Yu Lie had not yet opened the altar to perform rituals, display the great elixir, and pray to heaven and earth.

Fortunately, Yi Gan's arrangements had been completely built in these three days.

Layers of floating islands turned into viewing platforms, moving around Zishan. The various spiritual stones and materials sent by the immortals and other Taoist cities were also arranged in a radius of 100 miles, forming a huge formation.

Looking down from the sky, this formation showed thirty-six layers, shining with spiritual light, which was barely qualified in the eyes of those immortals.

Yu Lie met guests for three days, and then spent another day and twelve hours bathing and fasting before he appeared in the eyes of everyone again.

At this moment, he was wearing a crown, similar to the robes worn by ancient kings, embroidered with the sun, moon, stars, and Hua insects, and wearing a jade crown on his head.

Walking out of the quiet room and slowly climbing to the highest point of the Purple Mountain Altar, he immediately attracted everyone's attention and made many people's eyes light up.

Zi Zhuzi looked at Yu Lie, who was elegant and looked like a god, and couldn't help but compare him with the appearance of Yu Lie when he was still a little Taoist.

Her eyes were suddenly dazed, and she sighed in her heart: "A hundred years or so, now is not the same as before, all this seems like an illusion."

Especially the majestic energy rising from Yu Lie, which was like a pillar of heaven, stretching across the eyes of everyone, and made Zi Zhuzi completely understand that Yu Lie was no longer the little Taoist who had to seek shelter under her wings before.

In addition to sighing, a sense of pride in raising a son who had just grown up also appeared in Zi Zhuzi's heart, making her smile and look at Yu Lie with joy.

Moreover, the other people around saw that Yu Lie had red lips and white teeth, a handsome appearance, and a majestic aura. He had not made any moves yet, but as soon as his aura was initially exposed, the sky and the earth began to change color, and dragon roars and tiger roars appeared on the altar.

They all secretly exclaimed:

"As expected of a first-grade golden elixir, he has great magical powers, but he is also so handsome!"

"What a handsome and energetic boy."

"Does this boy have a Taoist partner? Even if he does, my daughter can be a concubine and have a son or daughter to pass on his bloodline, which would be great."

All kinds of discussions, as well as all kinds of envious and jealous eyes, all surrounded Yu Lie.

Yu Lie stood on a high place, and he looked around and bowed.

With a swish, the figures of Gu Shenzi and Zhan Xianjian flashed, standing on his left and right, respectively, a long way behind him, acting as guards to suppress the situation.

The incarnation of Tianzi appeared again, appearing in the east of Yu Lie, and was taller than Yu Lie, so Yu Lie had to look up slightly.

This situation made Yu Lie secretly unhappy, and he felt that he was not praying to heaven and earth, but praying to someone. However, he immediately suppressed this little discomfort in his heart.

After all, now in the Shanhai Realm, it is the territory of the Xianting Daoting, not the Disaster Realm, and he just followed the other party.

Tianzi smiled and nodded to Yu Lie, then turned sideways and bowed to the distant void, and a scroll appeared in his hand.

Ding!

He waved his hand lightly, and a huge sound of bells and chimes rang out, making the whole Qianzhou quiet and all distracting thoughts disappear.

Tianwenzi slowly spoke:

"The Immortal Court of Heaven and Order, hereby decrees:

Now there is a Taoist who responds to the will of Heaven and accepts this clear order. The elixir has become the first grade, and you can enjoy the luck of the mountains and seas and inherit the responsibility of the emperor. You should be the first in the world, be brave and diligent, live up to the blessings of the immortal way, command the yin and yang, and feed all directions to respond to the favor of the three spirits.

Here is the decree."

Every time Tianwenzi reads a word of this decree, the surrounding heaven and earth will fluctuate once with Qianzhou Daocheng as the center, and the movement will continue to spread, touching all living things in the entire mountain and sea world.

At the same time, a stream of rich dragon energy, as if it was free, condensed in the sky above Qianzhou, turning into golden rain, washing Qianzhou up and down.

Yu Lie was in it, and he also suddenly looked up at the sky, and felt a great joy rising from all directions. The source of this joy was not any person around him, nor any living being, but the world he was in.

This feeling of sensing the world was much stronger than when he formed the elixir in the Disaster Realm. Even though he had expected it, he was stunned for a moment.

It was only when the voice of Tianzi Dixian continued to ring that he woke up from his feelings.

The other party was high in the air, looking at Yu Lie with a smile, and said:

"Daozi Yu Lie, are you willing to accept this decree and inherit the throne of the Son of Heaven?"
