I conquer the immortal with my strength.

Chapter 502 Coming
a few days later.

Nanzhenhai, Canglan Palace.

The atmosphere was solemn.

"Palace Master, there are only two months left before the deadline given by Bai Xuzi. Do you want to go to Qingyuan Gate in person and ask for the benefactor's opinion?" said the Great Elder.

"Yes, no matter what the benefactor's opinion is, we have an explanation and we are prepared." The other elders nodded.

In the past, the elders did not think that Xia Daoming was qualified to interfere in Bai Xuzi's affairs.

After all, Bai Xuzi himself is a powerful figure who is half a step away from becoming a god, and he has the Chixiao Sect as his strong backing. How could a mere late Nascent Soul cultivator be able to contend with him?
But ever since Xia Daoming and his men displayed their divine power and destroyed the Soul-Falling Abyss with overwhelming force more than four years ago, the elders' views have changed.

Although Xia Daoming and the Qingyuan Sect are still far from being able to compete with the Chixiao Sect, if they really show their means and strength, they are still qualified to sit down with Bai Xuzi and discuss terms.

"Be patient, since my eldest brother said that he would take care of this matter, he will definitely come to Canglan Palace to give an explanation before the five-year deadline." Lan Xi waved her hand and said calmly.

"What if our benefactor is careless for a moment and this matter falls to..." an elder said cautiously.

"He won't!" Lan Xi interrupted without further ado.

Upon hearing this, the elders looked at each other, wanting to say something but stopping themselves, but in the end no one spoke.

"Okay, everyone go about your business. I have my own decision on this matter," said Lan Xi.

"Yes, Palace Master!" The elders stood up and bowed.

"Wait, my eldest brother is here!" Just as the elders were about to leave, Lan Xi smiled and stopped everyone.

"Ah, that's great!" All the elders were surprised when they heard this.

Soon, Lan Xi brought the elders out of the palace and welcomed Xia Daoming in.

"We are all old friends who have known each other for life and death. There's no need to be so grand next time." After the host and the guests took their seats, Xia Daoming said with a smile.

"My benefactor is not only a friend of life and death to our Canglan Palace, but also a great figure who is comparable to the ancestor Huashen. Naturally, we cannot be impolite to him." The great elder said solemnly.

Xia Daoming looked at the solemn face of the great elder and was too lazy to be polite. He smiled faintly and asked, "Has Bai Xuzi come to urge us?"

When the elders saw Xia Daoming asking about Bai Xuzi as soon as he arrived, they were all slightly shocked and their eyes showed gratitude and admiration.

"He did send someone to urge us once a year ago. If we don't send anyone over recently, Bai Xuzi will definitely send someone again or come here in person." Lan Xi replied.

"Then I will stay in Canglan Palace temporarily. It would be the best if Bai Xuzi comes in person. Otherwise, it doesn't matter. I just need to spend a little more time to transfer him out of the mountain gate." Xia Daoming said lightly.

"Does the benefactor mean that we won't pay tribute?" All the elders were shocked.
Only Lan Xi seemed to have anticipated Xia Daoming's answer, with a complicated look on her face.

I feel both touched and grateful, but also conflicted and guilty.

She hoped that her eldest brother could stand up for Canglan Palace, but she was also worried about getting him into trouble.

If that was the case, she would rather Canglan Palace and she could handle it herself.

"If Bai Xuzi just wants some spiritual medicines and treasures, that's fine. After all, money is something outside of one's body, and Canglan Palace is weak, so it's fine to pay some tribute. There's no need to conflict with Chixiao Sect for some spiritual medicines and treasures for the time being.

But Bai Xuzi wants you to pay tribute to your clansmen for their entertainment, which is too humiliating to Canglan Palace and too much bullying. As the saying goes, the head can be cut off, the blood can be shed, but the body cannot be humiliated!
If Bai Xuzi is stubborn and still insists on asking your Canglan Palace to pay tribute to your clansmen, then there is nothing to discuss, I will handle the matter myself." Xia Daoming said in a deep voice.

"Brother..." Lan Xi's eyes were a little red.

"My benefactor, will this matter cause you too much trouble? If it really does cause you too much trouble, we would rather suffer the humiliation!" In the hall, a tall and graceful female elder and a relatively plump female elder looked at each other, stood up, bowed, and said with a firm face.

“If I really watch my friend being humiliated and do nothing, it would not be as simple as implicating him. Instead, his Taoism would be affected. But don’t worry, Bai Xuzi can’t cause any trouble in front of me.” Xia Daoming said the latter part, nodded slightly to the two female elders, and comforted them in a soft tone.

It is truly admirable that these two women have such courage and righteousness, and Xia Daoming deeply admires them.

"Brother, don't underestimate Bai Xuzi. His strength is probably close to that of a Divine Transformation cultivator without a physical body." Lan Xi couldn't help but worry after all.

"Don't worry, I won't look down on anyone." Xia Daoming waved his hand, then smiled and said, "I have been in seclusion for the past few years and just came out recently. I have gained some experience from these years of seclusion. It's a rare opportunity to have some free time today, and everyone is here, so why not discuss something with each other." "Thank you for your guidance!" The elders were surprised and delighted when they heard this, and they all stood up and bowed.

How could they not know what they were discussing? It was nothing more than Xia Daoming's polite words!

He wanted to preach the gospel and show them grace and guidance.

Xia Daoming smiled and waved his hand, then began to teach the water system.

Xuanming True Water is the true water from ancient times, which naturally contains extremely mysterious true meaning of the water system.

This time, when she was overcoming the heavenly tribulation, Xuanming Wa Si fought against the heavenly thunder and fire, and was burned and tempered, which inspired her to reveal more true mysteries that directly pointed to the origin.

After the heavenly calamity, Xia Daoming gave birth to the second divine weapon.

One is the ancient true water and the other is the ancient true fire, one is yin and the other is yang, and the interaction of yin and yang evolves more mysteries of the true meaning of true water.

Therefore, when it comes to understanding the true meaning of the water system, let alone the elders present, even Lan Xi, who has awakened the bloodline of the Sea Dragon King, is probably inferior to Xia Daoming.

Xia Daoming's lecture lasted for two days and two nights.

Everyone was fascinated by what they heard, and from time to time they had a sudden enlightenment, a wake-up call, a morning bell and an evening drum, and a feeling of sudden clarity.

Even the tall and graceful female elder, who had once resolutely decided to sacrifice herself for Canglan Palace, suddenly realized something halfway through listening and actually entered a state of meditation in the hall.

Seeing this, Xia Daoming did not disturb her. He just raised his hand, and a set of formation flags fell around her, creating an absolutely quiet environment for her.

Two days later, Xia Daoming stopped speaking, and all the elders left their seats and kowtowed to him respectfully, even the chief elder was no exception.

This time, Xia Daoming did not decline in submission and accepted their kowtow with open arms.

The mermaids are simple and kind by nature, and the fact that he can get to where he is today so quickly is largely due to the mermaids.

Xia Daoming's purpose in giving lectures this time is to cultivate these mermaids.

This will not only allow them to have the strength to protect themselves in the future and not be bullied by others, but will also give them a powerful sea clan ally.

After teaching.

Xia Daoming temporarily lived in Canglan Palace.

Sometimes I practice, and sometimes I exchange my practice experiences with Lan Xi.

Lan Xi has the blood of the Sea Dragon King and inherited the Canglan Palace's divine tradition. He has many unique insights in the practice of water-based Taoism, which has been quite inspiring to Xia Daoming.

Sometimes, he and Lan Xi would leave the palace in a chariot and travel around the underwater world.

The merpeople of Canglan Palace were grateful for Xia Daoming's kindness and would occasionally host banquets with singing and dancing to entertain him.

The graceful dancing posture, moving singing voice, delicious food and fine wine made Xia Daoming experience a rare life of drunkenness and dreams.

Once, the female elder who entered into meditation in the hall and broke through to become a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul a few days later, also performed a dance in person. She was draped in a light veil, her jade-like skin and figure were faintly visible. She danced to the point of being very passionate several times, and she got very close to Xia Daoming. She threw herself into his arms several times, reluctantly accepting him. Even though Xia Daoming already had three lovely wives, he was still a little moved. He thought to himself that it was no wonder that many cultivators preferred mermaids.

In this way, I spent nearly a month of leisurely days in Canglan Palace.

On this day, Bai Xuzi came to Canglan Palace in a carriage.

Xia Daoming finally met Bai Xuzi, and couldn't help but feel more and more disgusted with him.

He originally thought that Bai Xuzi's name was quite elegant, and that the man was likely to be dressed in white and look elegant and suave.

But when they met, he turned out to be a short, fat and greasy man in red clothes.

Xia Daoming felt particularly uncomfortable when he thought of the ugly sight of the fat man forcibly hugging the delicate mermaid woman and making love to her.
