Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 829: Mountains and Rivers Are Quiet and Waves Are Hidden

When this question was asked, most people remained calm.

Judging from his expression, it seemed as if he heard nothing.

To join forces or deal with it alone, they naturally prefer the latter.

There are a total of thirty-four virtual and real magic caves. Even if we leave aside the other four continents, the remaining number is enough for them to share.

But if they join forces to suppress it, how can their say compare to that of the Black and White Taoist Palace and other Taoist sects?
They are afraid that by the time they are busy enough, all the benefits will be divided up by the top sects, and they can only get some scraps that are of no use.

And the most important thing is that the threat from the magic cave is not a disaster after all. If it is managed properly, it will be enough for them to find an opportunity for a breakthrough.

This is a matter of fortune that concerns their own path and even the prosperity of their sect, so they naturally don't want to get involved with others.

However, they thought so, but did not dare to be the first to stand up and express their opinions.

After all, Xian Jianchi is still powerful. We can't make friends with him, but we can't offend him either...

Li Jianyi looked around thoughtfully, then sneered, "What do you all mean by this? Just tell me what you think. Do you think I'm such an unreasonable person?"

Wu Quan of Nanhua Valley sat up straight and was the first to respond, "Fellow Daoist Li, you're joking. We have different thoughts, but it's hard to answer. I wonder what Fellow Daoists Li, Chen, and Yaoguang are planning."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's hearts moved and they began to pay attention to the reactions of the three people.

Li Jianyilang laughed and said, "Whether we join forces or go it alone, I, Xian Jianchi, will defeat them all with one sword!"

Everyone nodded slowly, this was the truth.

There are very few disciples of Xian Jianchi, and in this generation, there are only Ye Qingren and Li Jianyi who have the potential to become True Lords.

Therefore, their desire for the magic cave's fortune is not as great as the other two families. It doesn't matter to them whether they join forces or deal with it alone.

"What about Fellow Daoist Chen?"

Chen Mu smiled faintly and nodded at Tao Xianxu.

Tao Xianxu immediately understood and stood up and said in a clear voice: "The current situation is still that we are strong and the enemy is weak. The Demon Cave has manifested. If our Xuanmen gathers everyone to attack, the power will be concentrated in one place, and the Demon Alliance will definitely be unable to resist."

"That's why they instigated the manifestation of the Void Cave, which is difficult to distinguish between true and false. They are simply trying to distract our strength."

At this point, he waved his sleeves and said, "Since we already know what the Demon Alliance wants, why should we follow their wishes?"

"As for the Black and White Dao Palace, we naturally need to work together. This way, we can suppress the Demon Cave to the greatest extent possible and prevent any subsequent catastrophes..."

He spoke passionately, but few people responded.

They are no longer novice monks, so how could they change their minds with just a few words?

Elder Yan of the Xuanyin Sect narrowed his eyes and laughed solemnly, "What Fellow Daoist Tao said is indeed reasonable, but...how is the destiny distributed?"

Everyone was shocked, some did not expect it to be so direct.

Tao Xianxu smiled slightly and replied, "It depends on the merit."

Division by merit is the simplest and most reasonable, and is more in line with his own wishes.

However, if one party is satisfied, the other party will inevitably be a little disappointed.

Everyone looked up at Chen and Tao and shook their heads deeply.

Not to mention Ming Chenzi, the leader of Taixuan, even Chen Mu and Tao Xianxu, who are ranked seventh or eighth, are not comparable to them.

When suppressing the magic cave together with such people, how could they have the chance to show their abilities?
There was silence for a moment. Seeing this, Tao Xianxu did not rush to ask any more questions. He turned around calmly and sat down again.

Everyone looked at each other, and no one said anything for a long time.

Jiang Xiuqi watched for a moment, his eyes flashing. He suddenly stood up and took a step forward, laughing loudly, "It's good to join forces, but the situation in the Demon Cave is set in stone. The number 34 is spread across the world, so even if we join forces, we'll inevitably act separately."

"Since this move is unavoidable, what difference does it make whether we join forces or not?"

"Everyone should take care of their own business. My Jiang family does not want to waste any more energy and would like to handle it alone."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up, and they echoed one after another: "That's right, the demon cultivators are insidious and cunning. Who knows if they created such a scene just to gather us together?"

"Well said. My Ziji Sect also prefers to act on its own."

"We absolutely cannot allow the Demon Alliance to disrupt our position. Even if the twenty-seven sects of Central Continent don't have a joint alliance, what does it matter? If my Xianyuan Sect is dragged down by the Demon Alliance and trapped in a difficult situation, will the other sects just sit back and watch?"

……

Listening to everyone rushing to express their opinions, Chen Mu and the others smiled at each other.

They had anticipated this outcome.

The purpose of this trip is just to confirm it so that it will be convenient for us to act later.

It would be best if the alliance could succeed, but it doesn’t matter if it doesn’t.

Anyway, there are so many magic caves, there must be a share of their fortune among them...

"Since all of you fellows think so, then we can't insist on doing it."

Fairy Yaoguang looked solemn, but she still reminded them, "If you really are in danger, I hope you will decisively seek help. Don't let a few random thoughts lead to irreparable mistakes..."

"Thank you for your advice, Fairy. We will keep it in mind."

Everyone responded sparsely, but it was unclear whether they really took it to heart or just perfunctorily responded...

After the meeting at Chongyun Mountain, Chen Mu returned to the Black and White Taoist Palace. After a short stay, he continued on his way to Beiyuan.

The magic cave is about to appear. As he said before, he needs to clean up the area in front of the door before he can move on to other places.

There are two traces of demonic caves in Beiyuan. Regardless of whether they are real or fake, they should be suppressed...

……

Two days later.

Chen Mu sat upright in the main hall of the Nanming Taoist Temple, while Yu Chengduan and Meng Yuewei each led their disciples to serve beside him.

"Chengduan." Chen Mu smiled slightly.

Yu Chengduan immediately straightened his body, bowed and said, "Disciple is here."

Long before the Zhongzhou Dharma Assembly, he returned to Beiyuan from Xianjianchi, but arrived with Chen Mu.

Chen Mu looked down and could see the changes in the aura of his sword-cultivating disciple, which showed that his hard training in Xianjianchi was not in vain.

As for the others, he looked at them one by one and thought to himself that they had all made great progress in their cultivation. Meng Yuewei was no exception, but Liu Heng and Bai Cai, two third-generation disciples, had also reached the Golden Core stage, which made him quite pleased. After giving them some encouragement as usual, Chen Mu waved his hand in the air, displaying several life-saving golden talismans he had prepared in advance, and said:
"Although the outcome of this battle in the Demon Cave lies with my master and fellow Beiyuan, you will inevitably face off against the demon cultivators."

"Fighting with it is no small feat. If you are not careful, all your cultivation will be wasted. This item was specially found by the master. It can help you escape from danger at the critical moment. Each of you should keep one on your body and never give it to others."

Yu and Meng felt a warm feeling in their hearts. They immediately led their disciples to take the golden talisman and bowed their heads in respect. "Disciples thank you for your support, Master."

Chen Mu nodded and said, "The turbid energy has already appeared. The demon cave may appear at any time. My Beiyuan Taoist sect may also fight with the demon alliance at any time. You should go back and prepare carefully."

"Yes."

……

In the northern region of Central Continent, the Demonic Heaven Alliance.

Yan Xinjue strode into the cave hall, his expression anxious and his eyes flashing. When he saw the figure in the bamboo crown and cloth cloak, he was certain and immediately shouted, "Envoy Han, you are right!"

Han Cang slowly opened his eyes and asked, "But is there a result?"

Yan Xinjue nodded and said, "During the Dharma Assembly, both the Black and White Dao Palace and the Immortal Hidden Cave Heaven wanted to unite against our Alliance Sect, but they were not respected by the other Daoist sects, so in the end, nothing came of it."

"According to my estimation, in this battle between the Xuan and Demons, the Xuanmen Dao Sect is very likely to fight alone."

Han Cang's eyes narrowed, and he said calmly, "Since that's the case, let's arrange it as we said before."

Yan Xinjue's face lit up with excitement as he loudly replied, "Great! As long as we manage everything properly, we can get at least a dozen magic caves!"

While feeling excited, his brows furrowed again as he asked in a low voice, "However, if we follow the arrangements we mentioned before, the other sects will be in trouble, except for the Black and White Taoist Palace... How should we deal with it?"

Han Cang smiled faintly and said confidently, "Mingchenzi is above me. I have long admired him. In this battle for the Demon Cave, I will go to the Black and White Dao Palace in person!"

Yan Xinjue seemed to be lost in thought and said, "With Han Shou's personal envoy going, Ming Chenzi will not be able to rest in peace. However, besides him, there are also Chen Mu and Tao Xianxu in the Black and White Dao Palace. They are both ranked high on the Taixuan List, so we must be on guard."

"That's all right."

Han Cang waved his hand and said loudly, "Envoy Yan may not know yet, but Chen Mu has already returned to Beiyuan. I guess he won't rush to help the Black and White Dao Palace until the danger in Beiyuan is resolved."

"As for Tao Xianxu, it's even easier. We only need to lure him a little and he will go somewhere else."

"In this way, only a few unknown people will be left in the Black and White Dao Palace. When the time comes, Envoy Yan will lead people to awaken the Demon Cave. Given their strength, they are not enough to stop you..."

Yan Xinjue was overjoyed when he heard this. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that this was feasible.

His eyes flashed, and he said, "If that's the plan, then the people we send to Beiyuan must be carefully selected. After all, Chen Mu is no ordinary person. If we can't delay him, then our plan will be greatly compromised."

Han Cang showed a hint of curiosity on his face and asked, "I'm a little curious about the Chen Mu you mentioned. Is he really as powerful as you said?"

Yan Xinjue's expression straightened up, and he replied seriously, "Absolutely true."

"Envoy Han, if you ever face them, do not underestimate them..."

……

In front of Chongyun Mountain, less than two days after the twenty-seven clans of Zhongzhou gathered, hundreds of cultivators flew in from the west.

In front of him was a handsome man with fluttering robes, and beside him was a young monk.

The former is named Feng Yangde, and the latter is his junior brother Lang Yuanwu. Both of them are disciples of Luoxia Tianzong, and both have reached the late Nascent Soul stage.

The cultivators behind the two were at a much lower level, most of them were at the Golden Core stage, and there were only a few at the Nascent Soul stage.

But even so, the people present were enough to prove the extraordinaryness of Luoxia Tianzong. After all, even some of the twenty-seven sects did not have such a scale today.

There are differences in strength, so there will naturally be disputes.

The disciples of Luoxiatian Sect often sighed and wondered why the Huanwo Sect and Pingyuan Sect were both listed among the twenty-seven sects, but they were rejected?
Is it because they don’t have an ancestor who has reached the level of a god?
That's really the case...

Without the True Lord of Transformation, how can one become the chess master in the chess game of Zhongzhou?
Without the support of the God Transformation Ancestor, even if Luoxia Tianzong has more Nascent Soul cultivators, they are just slightly more powerful pawns.

This is the case today. They don't even have the qualifications to participate in the Chongyun Dharma Assembly, which is related to the future of Zhongzhou...

Lang Yuanwu paced on Chongyun Mountain, looking at the traces left by the Twenty-Seven Meridians Dharma Assembly not long ago, with a hint of envy in his eyes.

But he did not forget the purpose of his trip, so he quickly stood up and climbed to a high place to look out into the distance. After a while, he turned back and asked, "Brother, I see foul air permeating the area for thousands of miles. I think there must be a magic cave here."

Feng Yangde also watched for a long time, then slowly nodded and said, "The turbid air is indeed real, but the magic cave here may not be real."

Lang Yuanwu didn't understand the idea of ​​whether it was real or fake, so he sighed and said, "It's hard to tell. If this is a real cave, it's fine. But if it's an imaginary cave, not only will our efforts be wasted, but we'll also offend the Lotus Sect."

Luoxia Tianzong and Lianhuamen are adjacent to each other, and Chongyun Mountain is located at the junction of the two sects, and its ownership has always been controversial.

However, the Lotus Sect was so powerful that Chongyun Mountain inevitably became the Lotus Peak in the eyes of the world.

Over time, even the disciples of Luoxia Tianzong began to think so, so it was no wonder that he had such an idea.

Feng Yangde sighed inwardly, and at this moment, he had no intention of correcting his junior brother's words and actions. He simply nodded and said, "True or false isn't that important. In fact, if I could choose, I would actually hope that this is indeed a hollow cave. That way, I can avoid the Lotus Sect from fighting over it."

Lang Yuanwu was puzzled and wanted to ask for more details, but he saw that his senior brother had already ordered the disciple behind him to come over.

"Listen carefully, everyone! Go east, north, and south along Chongyun Mountain. Every hundred miles, a giant rosy cloud formation will appear. You are not allowed to stop without permission!"

The group of disciples solemnly agreed, bowed, and then dispersed to make arrangements.

Lang Yuanwu shook his head and sighed, "After this defeat, my Luoxia Tianzong will have to endure nearly a hundred years of hardship."

The Xiaguang formation requires a large number of spiritual objects. Even if a sect supplies them, it is difficult to put too many into the formation.

Feng Yangde comforted him, "Don't worry, Junior Brother. All the losses today are extremely worth it."

"Regardless of whether this magic cave is real or fake, as long as we set up this great formation here and seize the initiative, when the magic cave appears, with this formation as a support, we will be able to gain a foothold and easily defend this magic cave."

Although his junior fellow disciple didn't know the details, he had a channel through which he heard that the Void Cave would one day become a reality, so he ignored everyone's opinions and decided to take action here.

Lang Yuanwu didn't ask any more questions. He just looked at his senior brother deeply and said with emotion: "The sect has been a burden to you for a long time. If not, with your talent, you might have already achieved the title of True Lord..."

Feng Yangde waved his hand and said, "Junior brother, please don't say that. If it weren't for my benefactor who led me into the sect, I would have already entered the cycle of reincarnation. How could I have achieved the state I have today?"

"My master treats me with deep affection, and I also treat my master in the same way."

"Even though our Luoxia Tianzong has risen for hundreds of years, we still feel like we are walking on thin ice every time we act. Why is that?"

Lang Yuanwu's eyes flashed. The two of them knew the reason very well...
