Journey to the West: Cultivation Begins at Jindou Mountain

Chapter 338 Lunar Sun
Niu Yi nodded slightly, and if there was anything noteworthy, he would interrupt and give his orders.

The council meeting lasted from daytime until evening before finally ending. As everyone left, Niu Yi's hall became empty once again.

As the crowd dispersed, Tianjizi led Ning Caichen and his entourage, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, to Baiyujing.

Fu Tianchou, along with his two daughters, Ning Caichen (who had become his son-in-law), and Zhi Qiu Yiye, were somewhat shocked as they looked at the otherworldly scenery and the numerous cultivators dressed in white.

"My goodness! It's much more impressive than our Kunlun Sect!"

Zhi Qiu looked around and, sensing the richness of the spiritual energy in the area, couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Even the grief in Fu Tianchou's heart was somewhat lessened, and he lowered his head and sighed:

"It's unbelievable that such a paradise exists deep in the mountains. It makes sense, as only in such a paradise could a celestial being like Immortal Guangyi emerge."

Years later, Ning Caichen, who had matured considerably, bowed to the old man who had led the way and said:

"Immortal Master, I wonder where Brother Guo is now? We would like to pay our respects, but we are unsure if bringing outsiders like us in will cause him any trouble."

Tianjizi looked at the group of people who were all looking at him, stroked his beard, and smiled:
“Since you are old friends of the Dao Lord, you are distinguished guests of Baiyujing. How could there be any trouble? Please come with me.”

"The Daoist Master?"

The group exchanged bewildered glances, but seeing the old man who called himself Tianjizi already heading towards the central hall of Baiyujing, they hurriedly followed.

Soon, Tianjizi led the group to the central hall.

"Lord Dao, Ning Caichen and the others have been brought here."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work. Go do your own thing now."

"Yes, Dao Master."

Tianjizi turned and left, leaving behind a group of people staring dumbfounded at the magnificent figure above.

Niu Yi stepped down from the throne with a smile on his face. His magnificent white and gold robe slowly faded away, and he returned to wearing a simple and elegant blue robe.

"Brother Ning, Lord Fu, it's been a long time."

Ning Caichen saw Niu Yi approaching and exclaimed in surprise:
"Brother Guo, what's going on?"

“Since the day I parted ways with you all, I have come here to build this Jade Palace. Otherwise, Brother Ning, why do you think this Jade Palace would appear so coincidentally in the mountains surrounding Jinhua?”

"Was this Jade Palace truly built by Brother Guo?"

Ning Caichen stared at the scene with a gaping mouth. Even though he had witnessed many ghosts and gods, he still found it hard to imagine how the person in front of him had built up this palace in just a few years.

Seeing this, Fu Tianchou also cupped his hands and said:

"Immortal Guangyi is indeed a living immortal. Please accept my bow!"

Fu Tianchou was about to bow when he found that he couldn't bend his waist no matter what he did, and then he heard Niu Yi's voice again.

"Lord Fu, there's no need for that. But please know that Baiyujing is a secluded place for cultivating immortality. Slaying demons and monsters is our duty, but the changes of the secular court are not something we can participate in."

Upon hearing this, Fu Tianchou quickly replied:

"I suppose the Immortal Master is unaware that among the many rebels, a group of Taoists skilled in sorcery have emerged. It is precisely because of their existence that we have suffered such a crushing defeat!" Upon hearing this, Niu Yi turned to look at Zhi Qiu Yi Ye beside him, noticing that the young man's eyes were somewhat evasive, his gaze drifting to the side as he said:

"Don't look at me. The Kunlun Sect is a mess. I left the sect a long time ago."

Niu Yi turned to look at Fu Tianchou and said:

"Lord Fu, the Kunlun Sect has broken its rules by participating in worldly conflicts and committing numerous atrocities. Senior Yan and Senior Xiahou have already gone to the Kunlun Sect's headquarters to 'persuade' them, and we should have news soon."

"As for the team you led, I know that you were not destroyed by that sorcery. If it weren't for Lord Fu, you would have been completely demoralized long ago."

Upon hearing this, Fu Tianchou turned ashen-faced. He knew all too well that his last hope of restoring his kingdom had been extinguished by Niu Yi's words.

Ning Caichen smiled wryly:

"Brother Guo, you previously said I had the appearance of great wealth and honor, but now... I would like to ask you, Brother Guo, if I could stay here and practice swordsmanship with you, would you be willing?"

Niu Yi shook his head slightly.

“Brother Ning, my previous words remain unchanged. Why don’t you wait with me for half a year? By then, someone will come to ask Lord Fu to come out of seclusion, and the situation outside will also settle down.”

"Of course, there is no rush to reply now. I see that you all look travel-worn, and many of the brothers who followed you here are still at Lanruo Temple. It would be better to rest first and then think things over carefully."

"It's just that Xiao Hai and the Poison Witch have recently gone out to exorcise demons, otherwise they would be quite happy to see you."

After Niu Yi finished speaking, he casually beckoned to the waiter waiting outside the door, asking him to lead Ning Caichen and the others to the guest rooms to rest.

Fu Tianchou was clearly still unwilling to give up and wanted to try again, but Niu Yi flatly rejected him. This loyal former official of the dynasty obviously still harbored the illusion of restoring the country, but unfortunately, it would not take more than three months for the outside world to be pacified, and a new dynasty would soon be established on the ruins.

Perhaps because the world had been upgraded, the demonic energy that shielded the Heavenly Dao had gradually weakened, and the emperor of the new dynasty seemed to be somewhat different from the previous one.
As for this person, he was one of Fu Tianchou's former students, and had a deep connection with Fu Tianchou.

The residence of Kunlun Sect disciples.

At this moment, in a dilapidated village, many Kunlun Sect disciples were gathered in twos and threes, enjoying fine wine and delicacies, feeling quite content.

They were surrounded by obsequious guards who kept saying flattering things to them.

"Sect Leader, our Kunlun Sect's entry into the mortal world has already drawn the ire of other cultivation sects. Should we continue with this?"

Upon hearing this, the elderly man in the Taoist robe seated at the head of the table put down his wine cup, looked at the woman in red below, and was about to say something when his expression suddenly changed, and he shouted:
"Who dares to cause trouble at my Kunlun Sect!"

The shout was like rolling thunder, and it instantly spread throughout the entire village, waking up all the Kunlun Sect disciples!

At that moment, in the sky above the Kunlun Sect, a crimson-gold longsword hundreds of feet long, resembling a blazing sun, and a similarly sized azure longsword, resembling a cold, pale moon, appeared simultaneously and hovered above the village.

The Kunlun Sect members below were horrified by this scene; they had never seen anything like it before.

"Listen up, Kunlun Sect members! You have three breaths to decide whether to obediently return to Kunlun on your own, or let the two of you escort you back!"

The old man in the Taoist robe rushed out of the house. Sensing the terrifying power contained in the two longswords, his pupils contracted, and he spoke with some difficulty:

"Two Dao Realms: Taiyin and Taiyang"
