Chapter 1360: Chapter 67: Disrespecting the Supreme Treasure and Changing Old Rules
As Zhang Yan pondered, the cultivators of Zhongtai had already arrived at the foot of Mianxing Mountain. At this time, Sect Leader Qiao issued a decree, ordering everyone to slow down and not rush into the mountain recklessly.
Although there were many cultivators here and Xuanyue would not dare to launch a secret attack, creating little troubles to embarrass the Zhongtai cultivators would be quite easy.
Everyone stirred their spirits, driving the flying boat carefully and proceeding slowly. After a short period, they entered the mountain terrain.
As Zhang Yan entered, he sensed something amiss. He looked up and observed that the celestial phenomenon around him suddenly changed.
Just a moment ago, it was a clear blue sky with a gentle breeze, but suddenly, a strong wind swept like a river, raising huge waves and sweeping through the heavenly clouds.
The next moment, melancholic winds were rustling with chilling dew congealing into beads, and fallen leaves flying everywhere.
Not long after, it began to rain and snow heavily, with a thick mist and haze, sleet and hail were falling, and frost covered the earth.
For a moment, it seemed like time flowed like water, experiencing a change of seasons in the blink of an eye.
Xing Fuli was immediately startled, stood up, and said, "Changing the heavens and altering phenomena, could it be that people from Xuanyue Sect have already arrived?"
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "It’s quite the interest from the people of Xuanyue Sect to use such a treasure to welcome guests."
Within a few thousand miles around Mianxing Mountain, celestial phenomena changed alike. Even a Nascent Soul Third Realm cultivator couldn’t achieve such a feat. Besides a Cave Heaven True Master, only the supreme treasure of Xuanyue Sect, the "Three Mountains Suppressing Qi Gu," could accomplish this.
However, this move might have a deterrent effect on those cultivators who don’t understand the intricacies, but most of the coming cultivators are Nascent Soul cultivators, and none would be frightened.
Du Shixun sneered a few times and said, "What a treasure, after this time’s fighting, it should be in the bag of Zhongtai."
On another flying boat, Elder Lin hummed and said, "I’ve long heard that the Xuanyue Sect shows no respect to their ancestors. Using the Dharma Treasure bestowed by Da Mi Ancestor in such a disrespectful manner, their luck should indeed run dry, which defies heavenly principles."
Elder Yan smiled lightly and said, "The unification of the two sects is an inevitable trend. We must know our limits during the battle later. We are not the ones to lead, so let’s not be overzealous."
As he spoke, he signaled towards Du Shixun, his intention clear.
Elder Bai and Elder Lin exchanged glances and nodded, indicating they understood.
The Zhongtai Sect came from the west, and there was a towering peak in the east of Mianxing Mountain, where the terrain was highest among the mountains. A Great River wound its way at the foot, flowing continuously. On the top, there was a Dharma Platform with dozens of Daoists in different attire guarding a person in the center. This person had a strong and broad figure, a white face without a beard, sparse eyebrows, and was the Xuanyue Sect Leader Yang Shuyong.
Beside him stood two people, one on the left was short and skinny with a bald head, showing a faint circle of golden light at the top, supporting three groups of Gang Cloud, known as the Guardian Altar Elder Jin Ling of the sect.
The person on the right was one zhang tall, mighty and robust, holding a dark iron plate, wearing a golden armor with a pheasant crown, and carrying a pair of iron whips at his waist. He was the sect’s Elder Envoy Chunyu Ji.
Not far in front of Yang Shuyong was a smart little girl in red clothing, happily playing with a Jade Tablet in her hand. As the treasure swayed in her small hand, beams of Spirit Light shot into the sky, causing the celestial phenomena to change.
At that moment, Jin Ling sensed something and whispered, "Sect Leader, people of Zhongtai Sect have arrived."
Yang Shuyong’s expression slightly tightened. He stepped forward, affectionately patted the little girl’s head, and said, "Ying’er, stop playing."
The little girl tugged at Yang Shuyong’s robe, pouted, and said, "Father, let Ying’er play a little longer."
Yang Shuyong bent down, picked up the little girl, and coaxed her, "Ying’er, be good. You can keep the Jade and play with it to your heart’s content when we get back."
The little girl cheered happily, saying, "Father, no backing out."
Chunyu Qiong chuckled, gently patted the back of the little girl’s head, and she fell asleep deeply. He turned and handed her over to a maid behind him, saying indifferently, "Take good care of her, you know the consequences if anything goes wrong."
The maid shivered all over, bowed her head respectfully, and carefully took the little girl away.
Jin Ling pondered for a moment and said, "Sect Leader, the young master is immature, it’s perhaps inappropriate for her to be in charge of the sect’s heavy treasure."
Yang Shuyong replied displeased, "It’s just a broken Jade that can alter the weather, do you think I can’t even give it to my own daughter?"
Jin Ling quickly bowed his head and said, "I wouldn’t dare, but after all, it is bestowed by the ancestor master..."
Yang Shuyong ignored him and turned around, loudly addressing the elders and cultivators behind, "I gave the Three Mountains Suppressing Qi Gu to my daughter. Does anyone have objections?"
None of the elders and cultivators from the sect behind him dared make a sound.
Yang Shuyong glanced at Jin Ling, seeing him bowing his head and not daring to speak further, and then he was satisfied.
