Chapter 764 - 856 Arrive at Daoist Alliance
"And then, what else, what else?"
Chen Mo and the others looked at Zuoqiu Yiren with great curiosity.
"What else? That’s it." Zuoqiu Yiren hugged the Big Gourd and said, "I feel very guilty about the death of the senior brother, but what I feel guilty about is not having the strength to save him. However, his death was truly not my doing. I told her this, but she didn’t believe me and insisted I was responsible for his death.
Since then, she has opposed me in everything and competed with me. At the time of Divinity Transformation into Void, she recklessly used Forbidden Medicine to break through to the Void Realm before I did. Her realm advanced, but she suffered from convulsions and became mentally unstable, unpredictable in her moods. Fortunately, our master cured her..."
"Oh." Chen Mo nodded and said, "So when you said her condition relapsed, you were actually responding to her insolent remarks?"
Zuoqiu Yiren did not answer, but cast a glance at Chen Mo, saying, "The three disciples she accepted are indeed quite good. She must have invested a lot of effort, as all three are in the Nascent Soul Realm, and that male disciple is even in the Middle Stage Nascent Soul."
Chen Mo nodded.
Zuoqiu Yiren looked at Chen Mo and Xiao Jiu, then said, "In the Daoist Alliance assessment, if you encounter them and they do not act against you, do not trouble them. After all, she is my senior sister, and if her disciples do not pass the Daoist Alliance assessment, she might die of anger. Of course, if they provoke you first, then show no mercy."
"I’ll listen to you, Yiren." Chen Mo nodded.
"I’ll listen to the master." Xiao Jiu smiled sweetly.
...
There are eleven domains in Primordial Heaven.
In other domains, several forces coexist, but the Daoist Alliance occupies the entire Luotian Domain.
No one dares to say anything about it; after all, their strength speaks for itself, inheriting the foundation of Daoism.
Moreover, the Daoist Alliance’s assessment does not only recruit disciples from the original Daoist Meridian Union. Disciples from other forces can also become part of the Daoist Alliance as long as they pass the assessment after participating.
But these forces, unlike the original Daoist Meridian Union, have a quota limit.
If there are five slots, then this force can only send five people to participate.
The original Daoist Meridians have no such restriction; as long as they meet the assessment requirements, they can send as many people as they like.
The sect attribute of the Daoist Alliance is not strong, and it advocates governance through non-intervention.
Moreover, the Luotian Domain has many Daoist techniques and inheritances left by high-level figures who became immortals. After inheriting these, the Daoist Alliance has become a paradise that countless people in Primordial Heaven dream of.
...
The chaotic spatial fluctuations continued for an unknown time until, at a certain moment, they suddenly dispersed, and light came from the front.
Chen Mo’s eyes, which had been slightly closed while cultivating the True Dragon Treasure Skill, slowly opened at this moment. A strong light immediately flooded his vision, causing him to squint his eyes until he could adapt and then scan his surroundings.
At this moment, astonishment filled his eyes.
They were now in a void, and below, shadows of light flitted by, flying into the distance.
In this world stood a Heaven-Supporting Giant Mountain, seemingly reaching the firmament.
Thick clouds sparkled with luster, floating in the sky, and mighty rivers stretched through the void like celestial rivers.
Other rivers flowed down from the Heaven-Supporting Giant Mountain, forming a spectacle that resembled the Profound Spirit Waterfall.
Looking far ahead, one could see enormous floating islands suspended in the sky, resembling small continents with grand cities on them. A massive pattern of a Yin Yang Tai Chi Diagram enveloped the entire floating island, half-hidden and half-visible.
"Within the Daoist Alliance, there is the complete inheritance of the original Daoism. If you want to study Talisman Making, Artifact Refining, Array, or even Immortal Techniques, you can learn them. These floating islands are places within the Daoist Alliance for Alchemy and Artifact Refining..."
Zuoqiu Yiren explained to Chen Mo and the others.
Nangong Xue’s eyes were shining. The reason she wanted Chen Mo to become a disciple of the Daoist Alliance and to climb the Golden Core List was that in her heart, she aspired to become a Daoist Alliance disciple.
Now, witnessing the magnificence of the Daoist Alliance, Nangong Xue’s longing deepened.
"This is the Daoist Alliance. Imagine how terrifying the undivided Daoism must have been before," Jiang Ruoqing muttered. She was the Sect Leader of the Su Nv Sect on the Canglan Continent, a branch of Daoism. She wondered if the Daoist Alliance contained the Su Nv Sect’s inheritance.
"According to the books, an Outer Sect disciple of the original Daoism, when traveling, was always treated as an honored guest," Nangong Yue said.
"Let’s go. I’ll take you to meet up with the other disciples. The Sect Leader should also be present."
Zuoqiu Yiren flew forward.
Chen Mo and the others quickly followed.
The Daoist Alliance was formed by the union of the original Daoist Meridian Unions, so the Sect Leaders and Vice Sect Leaders of the Meridians were stationed in the Daoist Alliance, serving as Elders of the Alliance.
Shenxiao Point.
This was a stationed point for the Shenxiao Sect in the Luotian Domain.
Inside the grand hall, magnificent and majestic, there were several figures laughing and chatting with the white-haired old man in purple robes at the front of the hall.
"Sect Leader, Xuan Cheng has already reached the Late Stage Nascent Soul. This time he will definitely outshine the Mixed Element Sect, and even in front of disciples from the Zhengyi Sect and Shangqing Sect, he might rank in the top five," a middle-aged man in purple-gold garments said, smiling.
He was Xuan Cheng’s master, and if Xuan Cheng performed outstandingly in the external assessment of the Daoist Alliance, it would reflect well on him as a master.
Behind him, Xuan Cheng, carrying a Heavy Sword, remained silent.
An Elder chimed in, "Master Kong’s words are true. Xuan Cheng possesses the Celestial Void Body, which, though not as good as an Immortal Body, ranks at the top among all Orange Bodies. He is sure to shine in the physique assessment."
"I heard that during the recent Spiritual Power Infusion, a disciple named Chen Mo triggered the Star Ladder. Where is he?" At the top of the hall, Sect Leader Dao Feizi glanced over everyone and slowly spoke.
"Before we left, he was still in the Profound Spirit Mirror. Elder Zuoqiu promised to bring him, but we’ve been waiting here for nearly two months, and they still haven’t arrived. Could it be that Chen Mo is still in the Spiritual Power Infusion and might miss the assessment?" an Elder said.
"That would be a pity. I heard from the disciples that during the Spiritual Power Infusion, Chen Mo, with Golden Core Realm cultivation, defeated that Ice Spirit girl and even triggered the Star Ladder. His strength must have improved significantly, and if he could attend the assessment, he would certainly bring honor to our Shenxiao Sect."
An Elder said, glancing and smiling at the Ice Spirit sitting behind a female Elder opposite him.
Upon hearing this, Ice Spirit gritted her teeth, seemingly a bit unwilling.
"That girl Yiren, being lazy by nature and always doing things leisurely, is likely to delay things this time."
A man in a gold robe sitting in the second position on the right sipped his tea and said.
"Brother-in-law, that brat must have learned to speak ill behind people’s backs from you..."
A voice suddenly rang out.
