Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 318 Lesser Universe Pearl
On this day, when the True Lord Yun Congzi, the head of Qingxu Dao Palace, heard his disciples report some recent news from Zhongzhou, he was greatly surprised and immediately flew away from his private place, heading upwards to Feilai Rock.

Feilai Rock is a flat rock covering several acres above the floating mountain. It is the outlet for spiritual energy from the large funnel, the place with the most concentrated spiritual energy in the entire Qingxu Dao Palace, and also the place where the three Nascent Soul ancestors of Qingxu Dao Palace recuperate.

The three patriarchs sat side by side on Feilai Rock. In the middle was Lu Mingzhao, the most senior among them. He was thin and had black hair, and looked like a middle-aged man in his forties. However, his true lifespan was long unknown. In Qionghua Continent today, he was the oldest person and the one with the most unfathomable cultivation.

He also possesses the Qing Shuang Sword, the treasure of the Qingxu Dao Palace. This sword was the personal sword of the founding True Immortal of the Qingxu Dao Palace. Because it was refined by the True Immortal, it had long since developed spirituality. After the chaos of the Demon Subjugation, it was worshipped by the Qingxu Dao Palace for generations and can be called the strongest magic weapon in Qionghua Continent.

Therefore, Lu Mingzhao, whose cultivation is the most unfathomable and who wields the Azure Frost Sword, is recognized as the strongest in the Central Continent.

To Lu Mingzhao's right is the venerable Lu Qing, who attained the Dao Transformation Realm approximately 2,500 years ago. To his left is Zi Yun, the most recent Dao Transformation Realm cultivator from Qingxu Dao Palace, who attained the Dao Transformation Realm 2,000 years ago.

When Yun Congzi arrived at Feilai Rock, he bowed and paid his respects to the three patriarchs from afar.

Lu Mingzhao asked, "Yun Congzi, have you come to see us with something important?"

Yun Congzi said, "Just now, I received a report that something has happened in the Western Continent. The Dharma propagation site has been occupied by a junior named Zhou Qing. I am afraid that the Fire Jade Marrow may be lost, so I have come to ask the three elders for instructions."

Lu Mingzhao opened his phoenix eyes a crack and said, "No Nascent Soul cultivators have been born in the Western Continent. Who could possibly occupy the Dharma propagation site?"

The monk Bai Mei from the Hongfa Temple had also personally bowed to him, and with his discerning eye, he could naturally see Bai Mei clearly at a glance.

Bai Mei has reached the limit of the Nascent Soul stage. Even in the Qingxu Dao Palace, there are no more than ten Nascent Soul True Monarchs who can defeat him, and even fewer who can completely suppress him.

If it were not the True Lord of Transformation, who else could occupy the Dharma propagation site?

Yun Congzi said, "It is said that the cultivation realm of that junior named Zhou Qing is a mystery. It is estimated that he is not a Nascent Soul cultivator, but has special methods that are enough to suppress many Nascent Soul cultivators."

Lu Mingzhao sneered, "No matter what kind of supernatural powers he has, he dares to endanger the Fire Jade Marrow. We cannot tolerate him. You should immediately send someone to the Western Continent to kill that person and bring Bai Mei back to be punished."

Yun Congzi said, "I will respectfully obey the ancestral decree."

After saying that, he was about to leave.

But then Lu Qing, who was standing next to him, laughed and said, "Wait a minute."

Yun Congzi hurriedly turned around and came back.

Lu Qing said, "Since that person was able to subdue Bai Mei, he must indeed have some skills. Without a Nascent Soul cultivator, it would be difficult to deal with him easily. You need to choose your candidate carefully."

"Furthermore, I will bestow this small Qiankun Pearl upon you. Once you have chosen the envoy, you must have him refine this pearl. If he cannot win, he should release the pearl, and he will naturally turn misfortune into good fortune and danger into auspiciousness."

Yun Congzi saw a streak of light fly from the ancestor's hand toward him. He caught the object and found it to be a round, shiny pearl about the size of a thumb. He immediately said respectfully, "Thank you for the gift, Ancestor!"

Having said that, he bowed respectfully again, flew down from Flying Rock, and returned to Floating Mountain.

Yun Congzi carefully considered the matter and thought to himself, "The level of Bai Mei is so high that among the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Dao Palace, there are only a handful who are higher. Although the Hongfa Daoist Temple does not inherit the orthodox lineage of the Qingxu Dao Palace and its methods are not as sophisticated, the fact that his adversary was able to subdue Bai Mei means that he should not be underestimated."

Therefore, the choice of envoys for this mission will likely be limited to the three or five fellow disciples who are likely to compete for the next Heavenly Spirit Pill.

As the sect leader, it's naturally inconvenient for me to leave...

After pondering for a while, Yun Congzi came up with an idea. He summoned one of his disciples who served at his dojo and gave him instructions, after which the disciple hurriedly left. Not long after, a robust old man arrived at Yun Congzi's dojo.

The old man's hair was half white and half black, and each strand was as stiff as a needle.

Upon seeing Yun Congzi, the old man immediately asked, "What business does Master Brother have with me?"

Yun Congzi said, "Junior Brother Xuanzhen, there is something that requires you to go there in person."

After saying this, he told him the news he had received and the instructions of the ancestor.

When Xuanzhenzi heard that someone had occupied the Dharma propagation site and that even the Fire Jade Marrow was threatened, he was immediately enraged.

He is one of the strongest Nascent Soul cultivators in the Qingxu Dao Palace, and the most qualified to compete for the next Heavenly Spirit Pill and achieve the Divine Transformation stage.

Now, Qingxu Dao Palace is only missing Fire Jade Marrow to exchange for Bodhi Fruit and refine Heavenly Spirit Pill. But then a junior dared to occupy the Dharma Propagation Site, which infuriated him.

Xuanzhenzi immediately said, "Senior brother, rest assured, I will go to the Western Continent right away and grind that person to dust. I will also destroy the Dharma propagation site. I will personally guard the Fire Jade Marrow until it matures!"

Yun Congzi hurriedly said, "Junior brother, you must not be rash. Just bring Bai Mei back to be punished. The Hongfa Dojo must not be touched. The Demon Abyss in the Western Continent still needs someone to guard it."

"In addition, this is the Lesser Universe Pearl bestowed by Ancestor Lu Qing. The Ancestor instructed you to refine it. If you cannot win, release this pearl, and you will surely turn misfortune into good fortune."

Xuanzhenzi seemed insulted and said, "Senior brother, you should keep it for yourself. Is a mere junior worth me using the ancestral treasure?"

Yun Congzi knew that his junior brother was arrogant and could not be easily persuaded, so he laughed and said, "Junior brother is confused. Do you really think that this bead was given to you for a mere junior? There is naturally a deeper meaning behind it."

Xuanzhenzi's heart stirred, and he asked, "What deeper meaning?"

Yun Congzi laughed and said, "You are going to protect the Fire Jade Marrow this time. In the future, the Fire Jade Marrow will be exchanged for Bodhi Fruit to refine the Heavenly Spirit Pill. How could it belong to someone else? This Little Qiankun Pearl is the guarantee that the Ancestor gave you in advance. You still don't want it? If you don't want it, I won't be polite."

Xuanzhenzi hurriedly snatched the Small Universe Pearl, chuckling as he said, "Since it was bestowed by the Ancestor, how can Senior Brother take it away?"

"Don't worry, senior brother. I will kill that person and bring Bai Mei back to the Dao Palace within half a month."

After saying that, he left Yun Congzi's dojo in high spirits, returned to his own dojo, spent three days refining the Small Qiankun Pearl, and then set off for the Western Continent.

……

After the hungry ghost left, Zhou Qing left behind the ancient notes and minerals from the gifts, and entrusted the spiritual herbs to Bai Mei for disposal.

Seeing that Bai Mei looked serious, he asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Bai Mei sighed, "The demonic path has always acted without restraint. This time, he sought an alliance with fellow Daoists but failed. I'm afraid they won't let it go easily. It's best to avoid any complications."

Zhou Qing laughed and said, "Let them be. Let them be strong. As long as we stand firm, we are not afraid of any conspiracy they may have."
