Chapter 714: Chapter 706: Inheritance of Heaven and Earth
Yuan Luo, once the top genius of the Qiankun Sect, is now a Free Immortal, famous throughout the world.
His descent into a demon is a great blow to the Qiankun Sect, which prides itself on being an Orthodox Daoist Sect.
An Xin received the news that Yuan Luo, during his training outside, encountered many sects. For some reason, he suddenly turned into a demon, slaughtering tens of thousands of cultivators, including hundreds of fellow disciples. The news spread back to the Qiankun Sect, and they couldn’t contain it.
Other sects are also using this incident to damage the reputation of the Qiankun Sect.
An Xin felt that this was an unprecedented crisis for the Qiankun Sect, and if not handled properly, it could affect its future development.
“Let nature take its course; this calamity can just test the resolve of the Qiankun Sect,” Gu An replied casually.
Yuan Luo hadn’t truly become a demon; he merely acted out in a fit of rage. In fact, he had always had a streak of fierceness since childhood, and the higher-ups of the Qiankun Sect were aware of it.
As the reincarnation of Chaos Grudge Luo, Yuan Luo’s power would grow with his resentment and anger. During his conflicts with the Dao Court, he became increasingly aware of this and began consciously allowing himself to enter extreme emotions.
Currently, Yuan Luo isn’t powerful enough, at least not capable of endangering the world. The Chaos Grudge Luo is sealed, so he can only borrow a little power.
In fact, aside from Yuan Luo, there are other hidden dangers within the Qiankun Sect.
The rules of the Righteous Dao sometimes incite hatred and can become tools for those with intentions.
Upon hearing Gu An’s words, An Xin realized something. She stepped aside to make way for Gu An.
Watching the departing backs of Gu An and Shen Zhen, An Xin sighed slightly. She understood that her master had grown tired of caring for the Qiankun Sect.
Although she got along well with the Qiankun Sect, she wouldn’t go against or doubt her master’s decision.
An Xin stopped thinking about it and turned to leave. Recently, she had been immersed in the reflections of Reincarnation, gaining deeper insights into the Primordial Dao Emperor.
She increasingly felt that the Primordial Dao Emperor was unfathomable, and it was a path with limitless potential. She was resolute in her determination to become a Primordial Dao Emperor.
The disciples of Wushi all walk the path of the Primordial Dao Emperor, and she aims to become the first Primordial Dao Emperor within the Beginningless, aside from Gu An!
…
The sun was bright, and amidst the surrounding mountains, Xiao Lan, in a white dress, walked on the stone path beside a stream, curiously admiring the scenery along the way.
“Senior Sister Xiao Lan.”
A voice came from the side, and a young man in blue descended from the sky, landing beside her with a smile on his face.
The blue-clothed man’s figure was tall, with an elegant demeanor, and his smile felt as gentle as a spring breeze.
Xiao Lan nodded towards him and asked, “Junior Brother Cheng, you’re here too?”
“Master said that the Ting Master wanted to see me, so I came. I didn’t expect I wasn’t the only one. As it seems, there might be other disciples as well.” Junior Brother Cheng smiled.
Xiao Lan couldn’t help but become interested; it seemed the Ting Master had something major to arrange.
The two continued forward, chatting along the way.
On their journey, they encountered other disciples, heightening their curiosity about the purpose of this trip.
Upon arriving at a courtyard, they saw a dozen or so disciples waiting there, and Xiao Lan also spotted Zhao Rushen.
“Even he’s here; it must be something significant.”
Xiao Lan thought silently. Zhao Rushen now wielded immense power, second only to Ting Master Yuan Songzi within the Dao Court. Everyone regarded Zhao Rushen as the next Ting Master.
Not only Xiao Lan, but the other disciples were also surprised to see Zhao Rushen.
Zhao Rushen sat beside Yuan Songzi in a black robe, exuding a domineering aura. His gaze was penetrating, and except for a few, most didn’t dare meet his eyes.
Yuan Songzi looked at the group and said with a smile, “Everyone who’s supposed to be here is here. I have something to announce today.”
The disciples stood in a line, not daring to sit like Zhao Rushen.
Xiao Lan wasn’t necessarily afraid, but she didn’t want to be too close to Yuan Songzi or Zhao Rushen. She spent years in seclusion, avoiding the factional struggles within the court as much as possible.
Although Yuan Songzi had taken her to the Path of the Great Dao, her master wasn’t in the same faction as Zhao Rushen.
“Ting Master, what has happened? Could it be that the Hundred Sects in the Human World are planning to besiege us?” Junior Brother Cheng couldn’t help but ask first.
His words made the other disciples tense up.
Over the years, there have been more sects causing trouble for the Dao Court. Various kinds of conflicts have been reported internally. The Dao Court flaunts itself as the Righteous Dao and the World Ruler, but their handling of certain matters has left the disciples dismayed. Everyone could feel the pressure from other sects and perceive the Dao Court’s growing weakness.
Normally, they are dissatisfied with the upper echelons, but when it comes to going to war with the Hundred Sects, they feel apprehensive.
Today’s situation is unlike the past; the Dao Court indeed lacks the power to suppress the entire Human World.
“That’s not it, but the situation you foresee will happen sooner or later.”
Yuan Songzi smiled softly. His words made the disciples’ faces change dramatically, but seeing his smile, they felt he wasn’t worried.
Perhaps the Ting Master already had a plan.
Thinking this way, the disciples felt at ease.
“You all are the brightest disciples of the Dao Court, and your reputation is extremely high. I plan to let you inherit the various legacies of the Dao Court. Once the Dao Court is dissolved in the future, you can establish your own sects. Are you confident?”
When Yuan Songzi said this, his smile didn’t fade, as if he was discussing something trivial.
Upon hearing this, the courtyard burst into an uproar; the disciples were all shocked and began to object.
“Ting Master, what do you mean? Why dissolve the Dao Court?”
“We are not afraid to fight, even if it means a life-and-death struggle with the Hundred Sects. We are not afraid!”
“That’s right, with all the storms we’ve seen since the Dao Court’s establishment, what’s there to fear?”
“Exactly, Ting Master, why don’t we just start a war with the Hundred Sects and catch them off guard!”
While the disciples were passionately excited, Xiao Lan kept silent, her eyes fixed on Yuan Songzi. She didn’t think Yuan Songzi was a coward.
Back when the Undefeated Emperor Clan wanted to kill them, Yuan Songzi showed no fear and was at the forefront.
The combined Hundred Sects of the Human World are no match for the Undefeated Emperor Clan.
Yuan Songzi raised his hand, signaling everyone to calm down. The group could only suppress their emotions.
“The Dao Court has presided over the world for a million years; it has been long enough. In fact, you might not know that the Dao Court itself wasn’t founded by me alone. It was formed by the unification of the greatest sects from the Great Heaven and Earth before the world’s reformation, and I merely facilitated it. After the Dao Court dissolves, you will establish your sects, creating a new order for the era. This itself is a form of legacy.”
Yuan Songzi spoke seriously, paused, and continued, “Of course, the Dao Court will not easily be dissolved. At the very least, it should make other sects realize how precious this throne is and serve as a warning for future generations, thus better benefiting all living beings under heaven.”
