The Lord of Lingbao has entrusted three tasks, and none of them are easy.
The Golden Goddess of Spirits had her brows furrowed.
The first task is to inform the Ba Jing Palace and the Yu Xu Palace. On the surface, it seems like a simple errand of delivering a message, but in reality, it is essential to reach a key individual. This person cannot be Master Xuandu or Chi Jingzi; rather, it refers to the two Saints of Taiqing and Yuqing.
Do not care about whether Tao Tze is really dumb or pretending to be dumb. As long as the message has been delivered, both Taiqing and Yuqing have to make a rescue gesture. The Three Pure Ones are not yet officially divided; they are still dear friends, siblings, and close relatives. If I am in trouble, and you do not come to save me, can it be acceptable?
Sages can ignore their dignity but not their morality. Under the seemingly brutal struggle of Hongwu, it is still a world predominantly based on righteousness, advocating solidarity, friendship, brotherly respect, and filial piety.
If you can't save, that's a matter of ability. If you don't go to save, that's a matter of attitude.
Refusing to save one's own blood brothers who come from the same source, who would dare to approach these two holy sages?
As soon as the notification is made, a rescue must be carried out.
The question arises: how to notify them?
Taiqing is not a problem. Just go to Ba Jing Palace to find Master Xuandu, or go to Dou Lüe Palace to notify Laozhi of Taishou. Once the message is delivered, whether you go or not is up to you. If you don't want to suffer heavy criticism, the saint of Taiqing must go for rescue.
What about Yuqing? Yuqing did not leave a separated physical body in the primordial chaos. Deng ChanYu probably knows the location of Yuan Shi Tianzun, but she dare not leave the primordial chaos.
Let Xu Zhenggong or Taiyi Zhenren go? They are not stupid; they will not risk their lives for the affairs of Jie.
The first task can only be completed halfway.
The second task is to find the appropriate materials and repair the Qingping Sword.
If we have the necessary materials, we can use them. If not, we can buy them from others. If we can't buy them, we can steal them. There will always be a way to think of.
The second task can only be completed halfway as well. The remaining half is how to send it over, which is combined with the third task of delivering the Yuan Tu Sword. If this courier cannot be delivered, all the preparation for materials will be wasted.
The best possible outcome is that Taiqing and Yuqing, with the spiritual materials and Yuan Tu Sword, find Tao Tze, and then the three brothers join forces to beat the chaotic demons so severely that they cry for their fathers and mothers.
This is the best possible outcome, which may also be the optimal path in Tao Tze's heart.
"Big Brother, have you made any progress on the repair of the Qingping Sword?" Golden Goddess of Spirits asked Daobo Daoren.
There are not just Deng ChanYu who can forge weapons in the Primordial Chaos; Daobo Daoren's skill in weapon-making is also extremely high. When the Three Pure Ones had not yet separated and were all living in Kunlun Mountain, he had even received guidance from Yuan Shi Tianzun.
He has been in the sect for the longest time and has the deepest understanding of the Qingping Sword.
In Jiejiao, if one says who can repair the Qingping Sword, then it would be Daobo Daoren.
As a refined egoist, as long as he doesn't have to step out of the Primordial Chaos, doesn't risk his life with a head held high, and isn't selling his life for certain death, Daobo Daoren is willing to do some things for Tao Tze.
Daobo Daoren pondered for a while, nodded silently, and indicated that he could handle this matter himself.
Golden Goddess of Spirits glanced at Deng ChanYu, who seemed harmless and like an onlooker.
"Little sister."
This "little sister" sound no longer carries the previous sense of superiority, but is full of respect.
I had to be disrespectful. Previously, she was ready to die defending us, but it was the spirit of the heavens, whom she felt had a tenfold chance of death, that was defeated by Deng ChanYu. The gap between them is just too large.
"Little sister, your numerous contributions are deeply etched in my heart. The entire Jiejiao sect will surely find a way to repay you."
"Of course, of course," Deng ChanYu placed her hands in her sleeves and nodded very kindly.
Before, the suggestion was mentioned in passing, and fighting for the spirit of heaven is to test one's own strength and resolve past grudges. Now, she wants Deng ChanYu to expend huge costs to send items deep into the Chaos realm. Just empty words won't be enough.
Golden Goddess thought for a moment and understood her request, involuntarily sighing to herself in secret. The heavens require money, the underworld requires money, and now Emei Mountain does too. What is wrong with the Primordial Chaos? When did everything start revolving around money? The Primordial Chaos used to be different!
"Little sister, if you need anything, just let me know. I will send XueYao to help you."
With this assurance, the issue is resolved. Deng ChanYu pretended to hesitate for a moment again, revealing a very reluctant expression and reluctantly agreeing.
Golden Goddess goes to the Ba Jing Palace to find Master Xuandu, and Daobo returns to the Biyou Palace to ponder the repair of the Qingping Sword. Deng ChanYu and Xueyao also go to the Biyou Palace, where they pick up the dreaming manticore that is trembling and huddled in a corner, sleeping, and then head towards Mount Buzhou.
Ordinary mountains have insufficient spiritual energy and are not sturdy enough, so they must use the broken Buzhou Mountain as a spatial fulcrum to connect to the deep Chaos realm.
The top-grade materials for space required by Deng ChanYu were mostly prenatal treasures, which were completely excavated by Yang Mei in two rounds. The remaining quantity is very small.
The Jiejiao sect used to be a great sect with many disciples, but there was no immortal who practiced the Great Path of Space within the sect, not even one who had a superficial understanding of it.
Large sects often have to accommodate more disciples, so they choose relatively mediocre paths, such as cultivation of swordsmanship, assassination, fire magic, pestilence magic, and even some magic related to the elements of wind, thunder, lightning. Their target is the relatively easy-to-practice and quick-to-master magic that can yield immediate results.
The Great Path of Space is too esoteric, with difficulty in entry, cultivation, and control. Its effects are mediocre at low levels and they cannot reach high levels because they are not skilled enough.
Occasionally, some disciples of the Jiejiao sect who obtain materials related to the Great Path of Space will trade them for things more suitable to themselves.
XueYao was very difficult. The number of materials related to the Great Path of Space in Jiejiao is extremely limited.
Their inventory is not enough to meet Deng ChanYu's requirements.
Xueyao ran back and forth between Mount Buzhou and the Golden Tortoise Island several times, communicating repeatedly, and finally nailed down all the details.
Only Deng ChanYu has to pay for the materials related to the Great Path of Space. In return, Jiejiao will give her the three celestial realms of【Hongli Zhentian】、【Jiexuan DaKangtian】and【Rongdao DaYu】，as well as the two blessed lands of【Danxia Mountain】and【Junshan】。
In the past, Jiejiao was a sect that welcomed all immortals and had a great need for celestial realms and blessed lands. Nowadays, most of those causing trouble or being restless have died or gone to heaven, leaving only the immortals who are practicing in line with the sect's rules within Jiejiao. The number of disciples is now only one-tenth of what it was originally.
With fewer people, the many celestial realms and blessed lands they occupied have not diminished in number.
Jiejiao is now genuinely a vast land with few people, and the demand for celestial realms and blessed lands has decreased compared to the past. To maintain these territories, they have to deploy numerous disciples to guard them, which is a bit of an unprofitable investment.
Frequent withdrawals from the sect's treasure house are causing it to shrink rapidly, and Golden Goddess of Spirits, the leader of Jiejiao, can't bear it anymore. Let's just sell the land!
