The Taoist Master Duobao said with great solemnity, "Bixiao Sister is a talented person, and she still needs to help us protect numerous junior disciples and sisters in the Biyou Palace, and she cannot leave for a moment."
Zhao Gongming nodded, accepting this reason, indeed, their direct disciples have all been deployed, and it is not possible for there to be no careful person guarding the house.
Master Duobao brought up another matter: "Not only the heavenly court, but we also need support from Wa Guangyuan. At least, we need to first patch up the big hole on our head. I've heard that Yunxiao sister and Nuwa goddess are quite compatible. It might be a good idea to let Qiong Xiao sister go to Yunxiao sister and then have them go to Wa Guangyuan for help, how about that?"
Deng ChanYu enters the palace of Nuwa as if it were her own home, because she is an insider. Outsiders can't find the Tai Su Tian, let alone the palace of Nuwa. On this side of the Jie sect, only Yunxiao, a super fan of Nuwa, has a certain chance to see Nuwa. Only after seeing the sage can one discuss the matter of repairing the heavens.
Repairing the heavens is a "big job" with high technical difficulty. In terms of public to public communication, we must find Nuwa, the leader.
Ordinary disciples of Jie sect cannot see Nuwa, only Yunxiao can go.
The problem is that no one knows where Yunxiao has gone now; only her sisters can sense her presence. With Bixiao watching over the house, this task can only be assigned to Qiong Xiao.
Old Zhao nodded very cheerfully: "The first elder brother's words are very accurate. I will immediately let Qiong Xiao start."
Mount Tai Yunxiao Cave.
The wind waves in the East Sea have not yet affected this area. The Grandfather of the South Pole indeed received the message, but did not inform the remaining disciples of Hsuanjiao, as the East Sea is within the realm of Jie sect. We can just watch from the sidelines and enjoy the show; what's wrong with staying out of it?
The Celestial of Red and White had no idea that something had gone wrong outside.
According to the instructions of Yuanshi Tianzong before leaving, he has been practicing these days.
Even while in meditation, his thoughts were completely not on the practice of cultivation. One moment, he was worried about his master who was deeply immersed in chaos, and the next, he was anxious about Guang Cheng Zi whose fate was unknown. It so happened that his cultivation level was somewhat low at the moment. Going to Chaos at this time would only cause more trouble.
"Ah," he sighed.
Deeply moved by the decline of Hsuanjiao disciples, after the Battle of Lord of Documents, he also widely opened the mountain gate to recruit more disciples, in order to inherit and carry forward the Dao of Hsuanjiao in the future.
Unfortunately, the recruitment standards of Hsuanjiao were too high. Even if he relaxed them as much as possible, he still couldn't find anyone who met the requirements. He had to lower his standards again, and only then did he consider three apprentices under his name.
With the disciples' low talent, there was nothing he could do but grit his teeth and teach them.
It is rare to see a disciple who can reach the level of Taiyi Golden Immortal in just a hundred years, which is faster than that of demon sect disciples. Besides Nuwa and the master-apprentice duo of Deng ChanYu, the Hongwu now recognizes her as a powerful being by default.
The thought of "demon" made Celestial of Red and White's vision blur.
He felt as if he had suddenly lost all his powers and turned into an ordinary man. The three newly recruited apprentices stared with a sinister smile. One took away his yin-yang mirror, another took the water and fire edge, and the last apprentice was even more overbearing, directly peeling off his Ba Gua Zi Shuian robe.
"Rebellious apprentice! Rebellious apprentice!" he shouted.
The three disciples with sly smiles ran out of Taiyue Mountain. At this time, he recovered all his powers and immediately went to pursue them.
The three disciples were running in different directions. He chased them desperately, but he didn't catch any of them, and all three of them got away.
"There is a cause for every effect. If you steal from others, you must naturally pay a price," a voice said from the void.
"Master Zhu Xingren loudly refutes: 'I did not take anything, nor did I steal,'"
A small cluster of fragmented light suddenly appeared in front of him. He carefully recognized it and was shocked: How could this be? A piece of the Daoist Jade Tablet?
Before he could even think about it, he felt a sharp pain in his spirit. His three souls and seven spirits seemed to be trying to leave his body. He quickly activated the Jindan power of the jade clarity school to resist this apparent stealth attack from the yin-yang mirror.
Before he could even think about it, the water and fire edge, the first deadly weapon of Taiyue Mountain, had pierced his lower abdomen. As he swung his hand to unleash the Nine Heavens God Lightning, the disciple who stole his Ba Gua Zi Shuian Robe stood in front of the other two, using the robe to block this strike.
The disappeared fragment of light reappeared.
"Stealing my precious, have you ever regretted it? You will have to repay this karma today!"
Celestial of Red and White was in a daze: "You are the preliminary demon god in Chaos? How did you come to the Hongwu? Get out of my presence!"
As a disciple whom Yuanshi Tianzong highly valued, Zhu Xingren had two bottom-line ultimate techniques. At this moment, he ignited a series of primordial flames around him, and the red primordial essence burned fiercely within a radius of three li. He struggled hard to expel the chaotic qi, and the original causal relationship that was about to be reversed was restored to its place.
"Is it the same chaotic quasi-magician from before? This fellow seems to have improved a lot." He worried and pondered repeatedly.
Currently, the Hsuanjiao sect is not weak. Zhu Xingren and Taiyi Zhenren are both Taiyi Golden Immortals, Qingxu Daozhi Zhenjun joined the most recently but has also reached the mid-level of Golden Immortals. Yuanshi Tianzong values this disciple very much and has given him many protective treasure tools. With them three as the core, adding to the fact that they were once quasi-Saintly beings and now also serve as Nanling Immortal King of Eternal Life, they can fully uphold the image of Saint's sect.
However, facing the mysterious and unpredictable chaotic quasi-magician, there is still a bit of unease.
Could it be that the cause and effect of stealing the fragments of the Daoist Jade Tablet directly followed to the Hongwu?
Why was there no warning before?
Is there also a concept of cause and effect in the chaos? Has something gone wrong with the cause and effect Tao of the Hongwu? There are many questions, but Zhu Xingren has no answers at all.
No wind, no waves. This is related to Yuanshi Tianzong and Guang Cheng Zi. He immediately went to Kunlun Mountain to prepare to consult Brother Nanling.
Zhu Xingren arrived at the foot of Kunlun Mountain, took steps to climb the mountain, and headed towards the Yu Xu Palace.
As he passed through the Jing Zhong Yujing, a wave of nostalgia washed over him. It was where Guang Cheng Zi had passed the initial test of Yuanshi Tianzong and struck the bell, followed by himself, striking the jade ping. The memory of it felt like it was only yesterday.
Zhu Xingren and Guang Cheng Zi have always maintained a good relationship, often willing to be the supporting actor and leave all the good things to Guang Cheng Zi. Even when they saw the fragments of the Daoist Jade Tablet, he took the initiative to divert and control the cause and effect, letting Guang Cheng Zi go and get the fragments to achieve this supreme opportunity. However, he never expected that his actions would instead harm Guang Cheng Zi.
It's said that some time ago, Ju Liusun perished as well, and he died rather tragically. After his death, he was even shouted and pulled back his Buddha nature by a group of Buddhist disciples to fight another round. He feels it's not worth it for Ju Liusun. Why should he go through all that trouble? Isn't staying in the Hsuanjiao good enough?
As he thought about the once-brilliant twelve immortals of the Hsuanjiao, he can only feel a sigh of sorrow in his heart.
"Ah," Zhu Xingren sighed again and gently stroked the jing zhong yujing, reminiscing for a while before taking a step into the Yu Xu Palace.
