Conferred God: Got cramped at the beginning

Chapter 820: Thirteen Sects of the North Sea
Not long after, Zhang Lingjun appeared in the North Sea.

Zhang Lingjun was accompanied by his Taoist partner, the dragon girl Ao Min.

And another thirteen figures - the masters of the thirteen Taoist sects in Beihai.

Let’s not talk about Zhang Lingjun and his Taoist companions—they have only achieved immortality and are still seeking the opportunity to ascend to Taiyi.

Both husband and wife were accomplished practitioners of Qi - moreover, the Qi cultivated by Ao Min was not the true dragon Qi determined after Ao Bing was born, but a kind of Qi evolved from the Taoist tradition of Mingguang Taoist Sect, to which Zhang Lingjun belonged.

It can be seen that Ao Min is also an official disciple listed in the Mingguang Dao Sect's roster - no wonder, everyone in the North Sea Dragon Palace believes that this couple is harmonious and loving, and that Zhang Lingjun is friendly to the dragon clan.

Compared to this couple, one looked decadent and the other looked dazed, the arrival of the masters of the thirteen Taoist sects in the North Sea was quite earth-shattering.

The situations in the four seas are different, and are even more different from Ao Bing's generation.

The situation in the North Sea, as the place where the demons are entrenched, is extremely complicated.

From the human world outward, the existence of the North Sea can be roughly divided into four areas.

The first one is the coast of the North Sea.

This place is a buffer between the human land and the North Sea border, and is controlled by the princes of the North Sea.

The second is the offshore and shallow sea of ​​the North Sea.

This is the only safe place in the North Sea. The North Sea Dragon Court and the Thirteen Taoist Sects of the North Sea are all located here.

The third one is the distant sea and the open sea of ​​the North Sea.

That is a place completely occupied by demons, with countless giant demons roaming around here.

——Further out from the outer sea is the area in the North Sea called Beiming, where the demon leader Daluo, Kunpeng, lives.

The figures of other living Daluo of the demon clan also often appear there - it is a place between heaven and earth that is difficult for Daluo other than the demon clan to reach. It is also the most terrifying and mysterious place in the North Sea.

The coastal areas are sandwiched between humans and demons, and face attacks from both humans and demons almost all the time.

One step forward is the land of the human world, where one must pay homage to the princes.

One step further is the territory of the demon clan. One must submit to the order of the demon clan and fall into that incomparable chaos.

Over the countless years, the area near the coast has been getting smaller and smaller, and those immortal sects that were located near the coast have either perished or moved away.

Up to now, of the hundreds of immortal sects that originally existed in the North Sea, only these thirteen have been reduced due to the squeeze from humans and demons and the attacks from each other.

Being able to survive such a long time and take root in the North Sea, as the only thirteen remaining Taoist sects in the North Sea, they have become the de facto masters of the waters near the North Sea. The strength, foundation and resilience of these thirteen sects are unquestionable.

At the same time, the ability and strength of each generation of their Taoist masters are beyond doubt.

As the actual rulers of the North Sea coast, these thirteen Taoist sects and their Taoist traditions have already become a part of the North Sea coast, and are vaguely in harmony with the heaven and earth, and the great way here.

Therefore, when these thirteen Dao Lords who inherited the destiny of their respective sects and came here appeared, the sea near the North Sea and the heaven and earth here seemed to be folded up and then turned into a sacred mountain. Under the push of these thirteen Dao Lords, it slowly squeezed towards the Dragon Palace of the North Sea.

Under such pressure, the entire North Sea Dragon Palace began to shake. The beams, pillars, and palaces here were all struggling and wailing. The formation covering the Dragon Palace was all shaky and looked like it would collapse at any time.

"The leader of Mingguang Dao Sect, in the name of Mingguang, I have come to the Dragon Palace with all the fellow Daoists and my unworthy disciple Zhang Lingjun to apologize."

"The unworthy disciple Zhang Lingjun's momentary error nearly caused a catastrophic disaster."

"Fortunately, the great celestial monarch had a keen eye and exposed the truth in time, thus preventing the situation from getting out of control."

“But now, evil spirits have stepped into the North Sea one after another, causing chaos in the North Sea.”

"I hope that the Great Lord will consider that now is the time to employ people and be lenient with him so that Zhang Lingjun can atone for his crime with his merits."

Taoist Master Mingguang took the lead and bowed to Ao Bing.

With this ceremony, the sacred mountain that was pressing down on them suddenly collapsed.

In an instant, the sky collapsed and the earth broke apart.

The North Sea Dragon King and Meteor Taoist beside Ao Bing all retreated step by step under this earth-shattering movement. They were filled with endless fear in their hearts, as if they had experienced the same disaster again.

"Are the Thirteen Taoist Sects all ended here?" Ao Bing's figure stood still.

In his eyes, the thirteen Taoist sect leaders who came towards him also had different images.

After taking over the identity of Dao Master, the thirteen Dao Sects all used the name of Dao Sect as their own name.

Moreover, they each have their own secret methods to tie their own skills together with the inheritance of Taoism.

In this way, the stronger the Taoist tradition is, the stronger their power will be, and the weaker the Taoist tradition is, the weaker their power will be.

If one day, the Taoist tradition collapses and is destroyed, their lives will also collapse and be destroyed - it is precisely because of this that these Taoist masters can work hard to govern the country and strengthen the Taoist tradition.

At the same time, with this secret method, they no longer have to be trapped in seclusion. In this way, they will have enough time and energy to deal with various affairs of the Taoism and respond to various changes in the Taoism.

It is also for this reason that the masters of the thirteen Taoist sects are said to be Taoists, but in fact, they are the representatives of the Taoist tradition - it is similar to the Taoist tradition becoming a spirit and then appearing in the heaven and earth in the form of the master of Taoism.

Under such circumstances, if any problems arise among these thirteen Taoist masters, their Taoist qi and meridians will be affected.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, they would sit at the mountain gate and not go out, guarding the mountain gate.

Once they step out of the mountain gate, the energy of the entire mountain gate will be concentrated on them.

So what appeared in front of Ao Bing at this time seemed to be just thirteen Taiyi Taoists - but in fact, the ones who came here were the thirteen Taoist sects.

At a glance, the countless vital energies in their backs reflected the majestic mountains, the endless archipelago, the boundless ocean, etc. There were also many Taiyi and many Qigong practitioners, and their Qi was all present in it.

——An ordinary Qigong practitioner, even Taiyi, would be disturbed by the strange vision just by looking at it.

"Since fellow Taoists have come here, please join the banquet." Ao Bing stretched out his hand, with a slight ripple in his eyes.

This method of combining one's own skills with the Taoist tradition and turning the Taoist tradition into one's own skills is considered an evil way by many people - after all, relying on external things for one's skills is really too insecure.

Moreover, under such reliance, these Taoist masters are called Taoist masters who are in charge of the Taoist orthodoxy, but in reality, what is the difference between them and the slaves of the Taoist orthodoxy?

They must devote themselves to the Taoism until death and dedicate everything they have to the Taoism.

——Moreover, at this time, these thirteen sects have been connected to the North Sea and have become a part of the North Sea.

In other words, these thirteen sects and their masters were also locked in the North Sea.

In the North Sea, they can get a response from the world of North Sea and exert their greatest strength. But once they leave the North Sea, or are rejected by the North Sea one day, their Taoism and their skills will be fundamentally damaged.

These Taoist masters displayed all this in front of Ao Bing, also to tell Ao Bing their determination to guard the North Sea and the Taoist orthodoxy - compared to the aura on their bodies, Ao Bing, the Dragon King, seemed like an outsider in the North Sea.

However, in the eyes of other Taoists, the practice method of the outer sect, which seemed like an evil way of cultivation, gave Ao Bing a slight sense of familiarity.

——I am the Taoist orthodoxy, and the Taoist orthodoxy is me. I carry the fate of the Taoist orthodoxy and the fate of the Beihai on my own shoulders.

This kind of spirit, to be honest, already has the spirit of the Emperor of Heaven and the Lord of Man.

In this generation, it was the first time that Ao Bing had seen a Taoist who was willing to use his own power to carry these things.

Under this kind of aura, Ao Bing suddenly felt a little favorable towards these thirteen Taoist masters.

"If you have anything to say, just say it at the banquet."

Looking at Ao Bing's attitude, the thirteen Taoist masters who had been sitting in the mountain gate for a long time, reconciling the Taoist inside and outside and in charge of the laws of the North Sea, suddenly noticed Ao Bing's hostility towards them, which slowly turned into some goodwill.

Although they don't understand where this good feeling comes from, it is naturally a good thing for them.

At least, in this case, they already have the opportunity to talk to the Great Lord of Justice.

Although they had only met each other once, the thirteen Taoist masters had already recognized the tyranny of the Great Lord of Justice in front of them - the thirteen Taoist sects ruled the coastal waters of the North Sea, and the order here came from these thirteen Taoist sects. The rules among the Taoist sects were the laws here.

In this North Sea, within the scope of their Taoist rule, their every move can be echoed by heaven and earth, their strength, their magic power will be increased to an incredible level - although this is the North Sea Dragon Palace, it is the only place in the North Sea that has not been covered by their order.

But the more this is the case, the stronger the power they can exert here - because when they land here, the power they exert is not just the power of Taoism and laws, but it also contains a power that can make the laws of the North Sea return to perfection, which is a power that will include the Dragon Palace in the laws, or a power that will connect with the laws of the Dragon Palace.

Under such circumstances, their strength will only become stronger - this kind of strength has already surpassed magic power and magical powers, and is strong in another sense.

That is a measure of a person's temperament and courage.

There was once a person who also possessed the ultimate Taiyi magic power and an innate spiritual treasure, but he lacked bearing and courage. So after sensing their physical abilities, he could not inherit the laws and power in their physical abilities that came from the entire North Sea, so he fled in a hurry. Until now, he has not dared to set foot in the North Sea.

However, in front of them who brought Beihai here, Ao Bing remained motionless - this meant that the Great Lord of Justice in front of them definitely had the power to destroy their Taoist lineage.

In the face of such power, the kindness shown by Ao Bing naturally becomes more precious.

"The Lord of Heaven has invited us, how dare we not obey?" The thirteen Taoist masters all tried their best to restrain their own energy - this was also the flaw of their method, which could easily shake the world and was difficult to restrain.

To achieve this, their respective sects have spent countless thoughts and resources, but they are still unable to improve on this point.

And the Great Lord of Justice in front of him can see the essence of their method, but is not affected by it - doesn't this mean that the continuation of their Taoist tradition may be able to find some inspiration from this Great Lord of Justice?
Of course, the prerequisite is that the Great Lord of Justice is willing to communicate with them.

As they thought about it, the postures of these thirteen Taoist masters became increasingly gentle.

"Everyone says that the wine in the Dragon Palace is delicious. Drinking in the Dragon Palace is even more special."

"However, we are in charge of the orthodox tradition and are restricted by the laws of the orthodox tradition, so it is difficult for us to be free."

"Especially the Dragon Court, which is even more important. The laws within it cannot be easily changed. It is even more difficult for us to use the sect's laws to come."

"Only now, all of us fellow Taoists should come out together and balance each other, so that we can enter the Dragon Palace safely." The Taoist master of Yingxing Dao also spoke.

"But before the feast, I still have something I want to clarify with the Great Dragon God."

"Otherwise, I would never dare to attend this banquet."

"Over the countless years, we, the thirteen Dao Sects, have been harsh on Dragon Court, but we have also protected Dragon Court."

"As for the matter of the Dragon Girl, with the knowledge of the Great Dragon God, I think he would know that when a tree is big and there are many birds, people's hearts are unstable."

"We, the thirteen sects, control the North Sea, which spans hundreds of thousands of miles. We have countless disciples, and our connections with each other are immeasurable."

"It is impossible to manage all these disciples one by one."

"What they do on a daily basis - unless they really break the sect rules, no one will ask about it, let alone put those things in front of us."

"It was only this time, because the Great Dragon God was coming to the North Sea, and our sect was worried that something unexpected might happen to the Dragon Girl. Therefore, for the sake of Dao Statistics, we had to step in to clean up the mess."

"As for the subsequent plot against the Great Dragon God, it was nothing more than people pushing people and events pushing events. They also had doubts about whether the Great Dragon God could pacify the North Sea, and then they became greedy all of a sudden."

"If the Great Dragon God wants to punish us in this way, we will all accept it."

“But if the Great Dragon God is going to get angry because of the Dragon Girl’s matter and implicate the Taoist lineage, we will never dare to acknowledge him.” The Taoist master of Yingxing Dao spoke with a calm expression and a humble attitude, as if he had completely admitted defeat.

"So, you acknowledge the matter of your Daozi?" Ao Bing picked up the wine glass in front of him.
