Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 328 "Once we seize the territory of the Dharma propagation center"

Gu Zhuzi smiled and introduced, "These three are Fellow Daoists Zhou Qing, Cao Yang, and Zhou Qingxia. They are also here to celebrate the Ancestor's birthday. We met by chance on the road and traveled together."

"This fellow Daoist Huanglong is the sect leader of the Purple Bamboo Sect."

"The Purple Bamboo Sect was established by the Glazed Dojo, so they always come to celebrate the patriarch's birthday."

They nodded to each other as a greeting.

Huanglong Zhenjun was clearly not interested in Zhou Qing and the other two, and quickly turned to Guzhuzi, saying, "I was just planning to visit you after the Ancestor's birthday banquet, but I didn't expect to meet you today. It's fate."

Gu Zhuzi asked, "Does Fellow Daoist have something to instruct me on?"

Huanglong Zhenjun glanced at Zhou Qing and the others, then hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but didn't.

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "We won't disturb you two any longer. We'll take our leave now."

Huanglong Zhenjun laughed and said, "Fellow Daoist, please wait. It is fate that we have met. You may listen to this matter. If you are interested in joining us after listening, it would be a great joy for us."

Zhou Qing asked curiously, "What's going on?"

Huanglong Zhenjun said, "Have you all heard the recent rumors about the Western Continent?"

Zhou Qing and the other two were surprised to find that the matter of this True Lord Huanglong was related to the Western Continent. Not wanting to arouse suspicion, they shook their heads and said with a smile, "We are from a small place and are not well informed. We don't know what you are talking about."

Gu Zhuzi said, "Does True Lord Huanglong mean to mention the change of ownership of the Dharma propagation center?"

Huanglong Zhenjun laughed and said, "That's right."

"It is said that a mysterious master has occupied the Dharma propagation site and cut off the connection with Qingxu Dao Palace. The Dao Palace once sent Xuanzhenzi there, but he returned empty-handed."

Gu Zhu Zi exclaimed in shock, "Xuan Zhen Zi is a famous and powerful figure among the Nascent Soul True Monarchs. In the entire Central Continent, there are probably fewer than ten Nascent Soul True Monarchs who can defeat him. Even he couldn't deal with that mysterious expert. Fellow Daoist, do you know his background?"

Huanglong Zhenjun said, "It is said to be a reclusive figure in the demonic path. Whoever he is is no longer important. Offending Qingxu Dao Palace means the Hongfa Daoist Center is finished."

"Now that Ancestor Lu is stationed in the Bottomless Cave and cannot leave for the time being, we can tolerate that person's arrogance for a while. Once Ancestor Lu returns to the Dao Palace, what can that person do?"

"With the Hongfa Daochang subdued by the demonic path, the Qingxu Dao Palace will certainly not allow them to continue to hold sway over the Western Continent. This is our opportunity."

Gu Zhuzi's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately understood what he meant.

Once the Dharma Propagation Center loses the trust of the Qingxu Dao Palace, it will naturally be destroyed by the Dao Palace, and someone else will be chosen to govern the Western Continent.

Normally, the Dao Palace should send its own disciples to go.

However, the Western Continent is barren, and most of the disciples of the Qingxu Dao Palace do not like to go there. Therefore, the Dao Palace has another option: to support a Golden Core sect within its territory to develop in the Western Continent.

With the support of the Dao Palace, this Golden Core sect can produce a large number of Nascent Soul cultivators in a short period of time.

True Monarch Huanglong must have realized that the Purple Bamboo Sect didn't have much of an advantage and couldn't obtain this benefit, so he wanted to invite more like-minded people to compete with him. Guzhuzi was immediately tempted as well.

The cultivation world is heavily fortified; Dao Palaces, Daoist temples, and Golden Core sects are separated by seemingly insurmountable barriers.
Under normal circumstances, it is absolutely impossible for a Nascent Soul Daoist sect to produce a Deity Transformation cultivator, and it is absolutely impossible for a Golden Core sect to produce a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

Therefore, although people like Guzhuzi and Huanglong Zhenjun are already at the peak of the Golden Core stage, only a hair's breadth away from the Nascent Soul stage, this hair's breadth is actually an insurmountable chasm.

Now that they suddenly have the opportunity to cross this insurmountable barrier, how could they not be tempted?

After pondering for a while, Gu Zhuzi was still somewhat uneasy and said, "Is your information reliable, fellow Daoist? The Hongfa Daoist Temple is, after all, a powerful force with many Nascent Soul True Monarchs. If we offend them, we may not only gain nothing but also bring shame upon ourselves."

Huanglong Zhenjun said confidently, "Is there any doubt about this? The reason why the two Nascent Soul Ancestors of Qingxu Dao Palace have not yet made a move is simply because they are wary of the conspiracy of the demonic people. Otherwise, the Hongfa Dao Temple would have already been reduced to ashes."

"If you still don't believe me, I might as well reveal another piece of information to you. A few days ago, a True Monarch from the Hongfa Dojo came to Zhongzhou to exchange spiritual medicines. When he passed by my Liuli Dojo, the spiritual medicines were directly snatched by the experts in the dojo, and a junior from the Hongfa Dojo was injured."

"If there were no definite news, the seniors of the Daoist temple would surely have some reservations about Qingxu Dao Palace."

"Now all the major powers in the Central Continent know that Qingxu Dao Palace has abandoned its Dharma Propagation Center. Anyone from the Dharma Propagation Center who comes to the Central Continent can be robbed by any means without any scruples."

"Many people, like me, are also vying for that position at the Dharma Propagation Center. This year, on the Ancestor's birthday, many people who came to offer their congratulations prepared generous gifts, hoping that Ancestor Xuanxuan would speak well of them to the Qingxu Dao Palace on their behalf."

"Not wanting to be outdone, I searched far and wide and finally obtained a Five Elements Divine Spider Web, a protective treasure. I intend to offer it to the Ancestor and ask him to help me obtain it."

"It's a pity that my Purple Bamboo Sect's strength is ultimately limited, and we don't have an advantage when competing with others. So I want to ask you to join forces with me. If we can win the spot for breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, then you will be one of us."

Upon hearing the words "Nascent Soul," Gu Zhuzi's blood boiled, and he was about to agree when he suddenly noticed that Cao Yang and Zhou Qingxia beside him had unfriendly expressions and were gritting their teeth. He asked in confusion, "What's wrong, Fellow Daoists Cao and Zhou Qingxia?"

Cao Yang and Zhou Qingxia were both filled with rage when they heard that everyone was treating the Hongfa Dojo like a New Year's feast waiting to be slaughtered, and were shamelessly vying to be the lucky ones to devour the dojo's corpse.

Just as Zhou Qing was about to punish Huang Long and Gu Zhuzi, he smiled and said, "My two uncles were shocked by what you just said, so they lost their composure without realizing it."

"To be honest, my two senior uncles are both at the peak of the Golden Core stage. I heard that Ancestor Xuanxuan is a top expert in the Central Continent, so I came to visit him on his birthday, hoping to get some opportunities."

"I never expected to run into two of you. If you don't mind, how about we join you?"

When Huang Long heard that Cao Yang and Zhou Qingxia were also at the peak of the Golden Core stage, he was overjoyed and said, "I would be delighted if you fellow Daoists would like to join us."

"Could Fellow Daoist Zhou Qing also be a Golden Core cultivator?"

Zhou Qing laughed and said, "I am the most useless one. I am only at the Foundation Establishment stage and I am just running errands for my two senior uncles."

Master Huanglong was in a hurry to recruit talents. When he heard that Zhou Qing only had the Foundation Establishment cultivation, he was greatly disappointed. However, since he had already obtained Zhou Qingxia and Cao Yang, both at the peak of the Golden Core stage, he was overjoyed. So he smiled and said, "I think young friend Zhou Qing has hidden talents and his future is limitless."

"Once we acquire the territory for our Dharma propagation center, do you still worry that the Nascent Soul realm won't open up to you?"

Zhou Qing laughed and said, "Fellow Daoist, you flatter me. I am but a worthless piece of wood, how could I be worthy of your guidance? On the contrary, your two disciples are clearly outstanding individuals. In the future, we will have to rely on you two to bring glory to our family."
