Chapter 472 Inviting People to a Meeting
Just as he was thinking about it, a letter came through the air from a flying sword. Gu Qingyuan raised his hand and grabbed it. He unfolded the letter and saw that it was a letter from Master Yuanli. Wang Yansheng had stayed in Taiqing Gate for some time. Yuanli felt that if he was detained any longer, he would inevitably miss important matters, so he was about to let him go down the mountain.

The letter stated two things. One was that Wang Yansheng had already been accepted as a disciple of Taiqing Sect. In order to conceal his tracks, he only allowed his junior fellow disciple Feng Yang to be accepted as a disciple. When the time was right, he would transfer him to the sect headmaster's lineage.

"Yuan Li has already made up his mind to tell me this. In the future, the Taiqing Sect will be handed over to Yan Sheng. Using the position of the headmaster to get Tian Ming Zi back to the sect is not a loss, but a big profit."

Everything in the apprenticeship ceremony was kept secret, and the Taiqing Sect gained one or two generations of disciples. Because Gu Qingyuan had taken care of Wang Yansheng since he was a child and had the status of a half-master, he sent someone to explain the matter in order to avoid impoliteness.

Gu Qingyuan didn't care. Wang Yansheng was originally a chess piece planted in the righteous path. Only after the relationship between master and disciple was determined did Taiqing Sect place a heavy bet on him.

"Letting Yansheng go down the mountain, I think Taiqing Sect must have heard about it and wants to get involved in the dragon fight. With Yansheng's status, the only one who can compete with him is Wuji."

"Now that the Taiqing Sect has taken action, the other orthodox sects will surely not let him take the cake. I just wonder who has the treasure, a reincarnated immortal or a latent dragon with dragon energy?"

Gu Qingyuan shook his head. No matter what, things were proceeding step by step according to his plan. The next step would be for Qianlong to fight for the throne, and the Xuanmen behind him would come out to help, thus evolving into a killing game that encompassed the world and included most of the practitioners.

Although the network of cause and effect has been breached, the luck is still there. Part of it turns into the destiny and fortune of the practitioners themselves, and part of it falls into the mortal world bit by bit, creating a large number of hidden dragons. In the era of great contention, it is very difficult to keep oneself out of trouble. Once you fall behind others, your luck will be depressed, and it will be difficult to make progress in your cultivation. There will also be large and small external demonic disasters and human disasters coming, not to mention the killing disaster in Fengdu. Even if the righteous and evil forces want to avoid the limelight temporarily, he will create trouble to lure them out.

This is an open conspiracy. If you want to stay alive, if you want to make further progress, you have to fight for it. Otherwise, your thousand years of hard training will be in vain, and you will become a stepping stone for others to practice, embellishing their cultivation.

Gu Qingyuan was more concerned about another matter mentioned in the letter, which was that the righteous Xuanmen was going to form a magic-exorcism association and invited fellow practitioners from all sides to come and help. The demon was naturally Fengdu. In the battle, many masters of both the righteous and evil paths lost their lives and left behind two human head memorials. Not to mention that their vitality was seriously damaged, but their muscles and bones were also damaged.

But what the righteous and mysterious sects have the most is relatives, friends, elders, and fellow masters. If they have been wronged, they will of course find a way to vent their anger. What's more, Fengdu is unreasonable and has no background. His attacks are particularly fierce. The righteous and the evil sects are all in one pot, and anyone who comes will be killed with a single sword.

In the past, when good and evil fought each other, there would be some mercy. If the ancestors of the genuine disciple were virtuous, or they were famous immortals, or masters who played around in the mortal world, even the old devil would show some face to them, turn a blind eye, and let them go. Only the foolish little demons would rely on their magic to kill indiscriminately, and wait until the uncles and elders came to seek revenge, and then they would settle the score and die.

Cultivating immortals is not about fighting and killing, but about the ways of the world. Only the most powerful demons and the most vicious people will have no taboos. For example, Youquan, the demon ancestor of destiny in the previous calamity, had refined to death countless talented people of the righteous path and elders of the Xuanmen, made countless enemies, and was violent for a while. No one dared to challenge his demonic power until the destined opponent appeared and he ended miserably. But before that, he had been rampant for decades and no one could control him.

Another example is Fengdu. It was unknown hundreds of years ago, but when it appeared, it killed all the good and evil characters, forcing Yuanli to be seriously injured and explode the treasure left by his predecessors, which earned a chance for the people present. It was also because Yuanli summoned the righteous masters to work together to calculate the secrets of heaven, travel through the void, and spy on the roots of this person's extraterritorial demon, and spread the news, that this magic removal meeting was held.

However, the host and initiator of this Dharma Assembly was not Taiqing Sect or Yuanli, but Xuanyuan Yiqi Sect. This was because Yuanli was forced to retire, and Taiqing Sect had no master to guard the sect, and was slightly inferior in top-level combat power. The position of the leader of the righteous path fell to another sect, and the major sects argued and fought for several times before deciding on the Xuanyuan Yiqi Sect.

This ceremony was also the time when the Yiqi Sect officially stepped onto the stage. The transfer of power had been completed very smoothly in secret. This was something that was destined to happen as early as when Yuanli had lost all his cultivation.

"Master Yuanli's method of retreating in order to advance is very clever. The Taiqing Sect has been in charge of the righteous path for many years. A tall tree attracts the wind. When the catastrophe comes, who knows how many talented people will be replaced. I believe that when he blew up his treasure, he had already anticipated all that would happen. When the time came, he let the Taiqing Sect step down and let the talented people retain their vitality. It is true that he is a wise old man with a long way to go."

Gu Qingyuan smiled. The top fighter of Taiqing Sect was Yuan Li, but he didn't believe that there were no other important figures in the sect. A righteous sect, no matter how big or small, could survive to this day and continue to pass on its teachings. It must have some hidden tricks. The treasures left by the immortals who had practiced in seclusion were worth that of a top-level immortal.

He saw the mystery clearly, and the others were naturally not stupid either. They were all thousand-year-old foxes, so why would they play Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio? It was just that they were able to give up such a huge power, which showed some courage. As for the Xuanyuan Sect, even if they saw the mystery clearly, they were still dazzled by the power. Taking over this hot potato, joining the righteous path, and becoming the leader of the righteous path, how glorious and powerful it would be, who would not be tempted?
"It's a pity that Yuanli sacrificed his sect's foundation to earn a chance for his fellow practitioners, but I don't know how many people would speak a fair word for him. Favors are favors, and power is power. These practitioners can distinguish one thing from another."

Gu Qingyuan sneered and said that what he said about being pure-hearted and free from desires was nothing more than being blinded by the desire for power. He was no different from the mortals who were regarded as ants by the practitioners. At most, the immortals were more powerful.

"I don't know when I will see the true practice of cultivating the mind but not the strength, and treating the desires of the human heart as nothing. The more I see these practitioners, the more I get tired of them."

He has always been strict with others and lenient with himself. He is calculating himself, but he can't stand others' despicable actions. He is truly a double standard person.

The Dharma Assembly is about to begin, and the host has set down the rules, asking all the righteous and mysterious sects to call upon their friends, and invite knowledgeable people who are familiar with each other, and those who are practicing in seclusion to attend the meeting. Each sect has some blank invitations without name letters written on them, so even if you don't get involved, it's a good thing to gain knowledge.

Taiqing Sect naturally had some as well, so they sent a letter to greet Gu Qingyuan and invited him to attend the meeting. Gu Qingyuan did not refuse, but added a few words to the letter, replied a few sentences, and let the flying sword turn into a rainbow and fly away.
