I inherited my husband's divine position

Chapter 887 A drink and a peck

In Lingzhou, both Yin and Yang lineages have a tradition of monopolizing knowledge. Furthermore, the knowledge reserves of any sect seem to only date back a few hundred years; even the ancient knowledge accumulated over a thousand years is incomplete, mostly vague, and unverifiable.

For example, the [Qi], a monster that has become extinct, is only known to have existed, but has never been seen in the present world.

For example, regarding the matter of the demons going into seclusion, there is no definitive record of how they were defeated by human cultivators or how they went into seclusion.

The throne of the human race from a thousand years ago has not been found, and there are rumors that a great number of stars will emerge at a certain period, but no one knows the pattern or reason for this.

Now that he had learned such a secret from Su Yaoguang, Tianguang was not too shocked. What he cared more about was the future fate of Lingzhou.

"You mean that Lingzhou will become a new mortal continent, and the mortal continent will regain the favor of the heavens. If that's the case, then this ancestral land must be seized again."

Su Yaoguang's glimpse of destiny could indeed be understood in this way, but she also felt that it was not that simple.

She did not deny Tian Guang's words until she received a definite answer.

The mortal continent has gathered too many chosen ones and rare treasures of heaven and earth, and its fortune has accumulated there, naturally attracting the attention and favor of heaven and earth.

Although those who have reached the level of the throne no longer need to care much about external forces, apart from a few solitary individuals who are accustomed to the throne, the others have been ruling their respective sects for hundreds of years. They have developed an attachment to it and regard it as their own property, so they cannot simply watch it perish.

If we can't change the fate of Lingzhou's depletion, then we should hurry up and claim a piece of land in Xinlingdi and move the whole family there!
Tian Guang was making this kind of plan.

Having existing spiritual veins and land would be ideal, but judging from the message Mi Bayue sent, the Linghuazhai on the mortal continent only has one mountain range, which might not even be as large as the Giant Spirit Wilderness. Even if they were to seize it, it wouldn't be enough for their own people to share. Not to mention the question of whether they could even seize it, and what price they would have to pay in the process.

When you calculate it this way, it's actually more cost-effective to occupy a region in advance at a lower cost.

Thinking of this, the Heavenly Throne felt a subtle ripple in its heart once again: In this way, wouldn't it be following the path given by Mi Bayue again?

This is a blatant and open scheme, hanging the benefits in front of the donkey like a radish. It's not that there aren't other options, but none of them smell as appealing as the radish right in front of them.

Tian Guang seemed a little disinterested. Seeing that Su Yaoguang was also not focused on the conversation and was always lost in thought, she said goodbye to her, "I'm leaving first. I'll talk to Xijiao. I'll leave Lushan and the others to you."

Su Yaoguang nodded.

After today's unpleasant ending, if Tianguang were to inform Lushan and the others, it's likely that instead of reaching an agreement, a fight would break out first.

The timing of Mi's series of announcements in August is hard to say whether it was unintentional or deliberate attempts to make things difficult.

If Mi Bayue knew about Su Yaoguang's suspicions, she wouldn't mind telling him that he was really overthinking things this time.

She had indeed used the aliases of Demon Lord and Li Jingsheng to deliberately cause trouble for the other party before, but this time she did not deliberately choose the time.

Selling the method of reviving spiritual energy in the mortal continent to the Yangmai Throne was a plan she and Mi Feixue shared. The reason Mi Bayue didn't bring it up immediately after sending out the invitations was twofold: firstly, Su Yaoguang had already sent her away without reminding her, and secondly, she was also observing Su Yaoguang's attitude.

After Mi Bayue left the Giant Spirit Wilderness and was protected by Su Yaoguang's power, avoiding the pursuit of other Yang Vein Thrones, she analyzed and deciphered a part of the Star Giant Spirit's aura according to its rules. Using this trace of aura as a guide, she transmitted a message to Su Yaoguang.

Capturing the rule-based aura of the Throne Mystery is no easy feat. Only Mi Bayue, with her nine-star status and soul consciousness far exceeding her realm, and the ability to remain unaffected by illusions, could accomplish it, and even then, it took her some time.

It just so happened that it happened right after Su Yaoguang and his group finished their throne meeting.

Having delivered the message, Mi Bayue boarded the Night Listening to Snow again and returned via the original route, still taking the obvious path to the battlefield ferry.

The spirit masters guarding the ferry had witnessed the royal power personally welcoming her when she arrived, and now that she had reappeared unharmed, they were naturally not foolish enough to think she was fleeing for her life and use that as an excuse to detain her—given their strength, they might not even be able to detain her—so they could only watch helplessly as Mi Bayue entered the battlefield.

After returning, Mi Bayue temporarily settled in Linghuazhai.

Soon after, Meng Luo, Fei Cai, the peak master of the Weapon Peak of Miaomiao Mountain, and a group of Weapon Peak elders arrived at this place.

The arrival of such a large group of spiritual masters dressed in similar attire, clearly from a major sect, attracted the attention of everyone at Linghuazhai. Unfortunately, they didn't get to see them for long before they went to meet Mi Bayue. After that, they hardly went outside, only occasionally appearing in the dining hall. Each time they ate, they came and went in a hurry, seemingly very busy.

The identities of these people were soon revealed at Linghuazhai.

The gate markers of Miaomiao Mountain are actually quite easy to recognize; it's just that no one who has never seen Meng Luo and Fei Cai knows that they are the mountain lord and peak master who rarely leave Miaomiao Mountain. Later, perhaps the Night Wanderer mentioned it, or perhaps Ugly Tiger had an argument with an elder of Miaomiao Mountain, but after all these events, everyone knew who Meng Luo and the others were.

The locals of Linghuazhai or the people of Yongmengxiang did not react much to this, but another group of people felt uneasy and had their own speculations.

This group of people were the Yangling Masters who had worked at Linghuazhai for three years.

Three years ago, most of the Yang Spirit Masters who stayed at Linghuazhai as prisoners of war never imagined that they would stay in Yongmengxiang's territory for so long, and become more and more accustomed and at ease, personally participating in the construction of Linghuazhai and witnessing its changes.

In the cafeteria.

Every mealtime, this place becomes exceptionally lively, filled with a rare, everyday atmosphere in the world of spiritual masters.

When familiar people gather around a table to chat and eat, or listen to the gossip at the next table, they can always gain a lot of information.

At first, Lu Fu and Huang Tian ate in the cafeteria mainly to gather information, but now they've gradually become part of the gossip circle, especially the latter, who has even become somewhat familiar with most of the people at Linghuazhai. Huang Tian pulled Lu Fu to a seat on the left side of the center, where two people were already waiting.

They are Huang Ran and Yu Dingkun.

After the two sat down, Yu Dingkun said, "The mountain lord of Miaomiao Mountain led the entire Qifeng army here to reinforce the protective Qifeng formation of Linghuazhai."

Huang Tian said, "Hey! I was just about to say it, but you beat me to it."

Yu Dingkun said, "I saw you walking with the temple envoy yesterday."

Huang Tian said, "I didn't expect you to see it, but I didn't intend to keep you in suspense. Didn't we talk about how Linghuazhai has been making quite a stir lately? I found out the real reason; it's about the Dao Proving Assembly."

"The Dao Proving Conference?" Yu Dingkun repeated subconsciously.

Lu Fu and Huang Ran also looked over.

Everyone from Lingzhou knows about the Confession Society.

Huang Tiandao said, "The Path to Enlightenment Conference will be held at Linghuazhai."

Yu Dingkun moved to stand up, but stopped in time, his expression changing repeatedly, which was quite comical.

No one at the table spoke; even Huang Ran, who disliked getting involved with spirit masters, fell into deep thought.

Yu Dingkun's throat went dry as he asked, "Is it what I think?"

Huang Tian nodded, "That's right. I was also shocked when I first heard about it and asked a lot of questions. The temple magistrate didn't try to hide anything from me and told me that it wasn't a secret and that everyone would know soon. The Ministry of Rites has already prepared and sent out the invitations. They've been busy with all sorts of things related to the event's proceedings for the past few months."

Yu Dingkun opened his mouth, and after a long while, he said, "How could things be so simple? Although the two factions have been at peace for three years, it doesn't mean that their relationship has been restored. If only the Star-Rank Celestial Venerables and Earthly Pride could attend the Dao Proving Conference, that would be fine, but once the Throne is free from the constraints of the rules..."

"Wait a minute." Yu Dingkun suddenly realized, "So, the reason why Lord Miaomiao and the others came to reinforce the array is to deal with the upcoming power of the throne?"

Huang Tian stared at him intently and said with a smile, "Senior Brother Dingkun, from your tone, it seems you don't really want the Throne to attack Linghuazhai."

Yu Dingkun said, "Do you wish for that?"

Huang Tian was very direct: "I don't want to."

“To be honest, I’ve had a pretty good time these past three years and don’t want to disrupt this peace,” Huang Tian said. “It’s just that I think you have bigger ambitions. If the Yangmai can take this opportunity to conquer Linghuazhai and turn this place into Yangmai’s territory, you’ll be quite happy.”

Yu Dingkun sneered and said, "The territory of the Yangmai is not our territory. I am just a wandering cultivator. Not to mention whether Linghuazhai can remain unchanged after the Yangmai invades, even if the losses are not significant, I may not have a place to stay."

Huang Tian looked left and right, and then said, "It seems that everyone thinks the same way. So why is the location of the Dao Proving Conference Linghuazhai? Could it be that the thrones have worked together to create this over the past three years? No wonder the Temple Envoy didn't keep it a secret, because even if we knew in advance, there was nothing we could do."

In a battle at the throne level, they are nothing but shrimp and fish; not only can they do nothing, but even a little residual power can kill them.

Lu Fu said, "We can keep an eye on those of the same lineage around us."

The three of them looked at her intently, clearly understanding what she meant. But Huang Tian still had to ask an unnecessary question, "What are you supervising them for?"

Lu Fu said, "If we can get the information, others can too. Not all the Yang Meridians working here are settled; they might take this opportunity to do something underhanded."

Lu Fu said calmly, "Although I don't think these tricks can hide from Linghuazhai, which is full of strange eyes, we can still report them to earn work points."

Yu Dingkun revealed an appreciative smile, as if he felt that Lu Fu was one of his kind.

Huang Tian said, "This is not a good idea. After all, we are all Yang meridians. What if, I mean, what if, the throne really attacks and wins? If our actions are discovered, we will be in big trouble."

If you ignore the eager smile on her face, this statement sounds somewhat believable.

Even though Lu Fu knew she was lying, she still patiently replied, "The throne won't care about insignificant people like us."

Huang Tian was still pretending, "But isn't this a betrayal of the Yang Meridian?"

Lu Fu said, "They don't have many places where they can tamper with things. They usually do it with the laborers and the finished products. We are just reporting this as employees to earn work points. It has nothing to do with which lineage we are cultivating."

"Alright." Yu Dingkun rolled his eyes, interrupting Huang Tian's attempt to continue acting.

Huang Tian shrugged and then sighed, "Time flies. If the Dao Validation Conference could be held as scheduled and peacefully, wouldn't we be able to see many familiar faces?"

Yu Dingkun remained noncommittal; he didn't know many people, but he was more like an enemy.

Lu Fu and Huang Ran seemed to be thinking of something, and their expressions changed slightly.

Huang Tian belatedly realized that these words were not good for either of them, but further explanation was unnecessary. She first looked at Lu Fu, and then saw that Huang Ran's expression had returned to calm. Her worries subsided with Huang Ran's expression. Suddenly, a thought occurred to her: Aunt Ran is not the same as before. If they really run into the people from Xunxiangju this time, whether it is her father or others... they had better be polite to Aunt Ran.
