As long as there's a sect with a background that reaches the heavens, there will certainly be no lack of various law treasures and divine techniques. Mere Wuchang...
They won't stand a chance, but when the Sect Leader steps in, there will definitely be complete assurance!
Gu Yuanrang looked at the smiling crowd, his face full of confusion.
Beside him, Ge Hongwen frowned and said, "Master Zhang, why are you laughing? The pen held by Wuchang is the Pen of Life and Death, sourced from the same origin as the Human Book. Apart from the Celestial and Earthly Books, what other treasure can possibly restrain it in this world?"
Master Zhang's face froze as he stroked his beard and smiled.
The smile that he used to comfort himself and energize everyone else was no longer forthcoming.
Master Zhang cupped his hands toward the sky, trying to remain calm as he said, "Daoist Ge, your words are mistaken. The Sect Leader descends with Ghost Law, exterminates corpse demons, and slays witches and ghosts. His power is supreme, and his Daoist techniques are infinite. Don't mention the Human Book. Even if the Celestial Book descends..."
Master Zhang suddenly stopped speaking, for if the Celestial Emperor were really to descend with the Celestial Book, the Sect Leader might truly be unable to defeat it.
But in Ge Hongwen's view, Master Zhang's sudden silence gave him endless room for imagination.
Could it be that the Sect Leader is actually a sacred disciple who established the teachings in ancient times?
Thinking of the recent manifestation of a Goddess disciple, Daoist Ge became increasingly convinced.
If even the wild gods of Bao Sheng Temple can have a Goddess background, how would he dare to assert that the Da Luo Sect has no sacred endorsement?
Ah! This is not boarding a pirate ship by mistake; this is clearly hugging a golden thigh!
Not only did Ge Hongwen think this way, but even Gu Yuanrang, who was forced up the mountain, began to feel invigorated!
The Da Luo Sect has such deep foundations, perhaps backed by the Celestial Emperor who possesses the Celestial Book.
The Da Luo Sect is aligned with righteousness and cannot rebel against the Celestial Emperor, so it must be the regular army, right?
"Yuanrang is willing to manage the great array for the sect!"
Xu Qing looked at True Master Gu, who was flushed and eager, and raised his eyebrows:
"Managing the great array is of utmost importance and cannot tolerate the slightest mistake. Have you thought it through?"
"I would die ten thousand times without regret!"
Gu Yuanrang almost blurted out, thinking to himself that he doesn't have to directly face the demons, just manage a great array that aids the secular world. It poses no danger at all. If he were to refuse this wonderful task, wouldn't he fail the sect's entry test and miss out on the position of Altar Master for no reason?
"Child, set up another altar for Daoist Gu with a pledge based on the Daoist heart!"
"By the Sect Leader's decree!"
Qingwei Zi's eyes almost sparkled; he's truly made a name for himself by following the Sect Leader!
Before, what wisdom did he have to be ordered by a True Master?
But by following the Sect Leader, he accomplished it!
Infinite Celestial Venerable, Daoist prowess is incredible!
Beside him, Xie Qiongke, and Ascendant Fuluan had peculiar expressions, even with a trace of differing meaning in their eyes, seemingly sympathetic...
However, this expression flashed briefly before being suppressed by the two, and the next moment they almost simultaneously cupped their hands to congratulate True Master Gu.
"May I ask you two Daoists, where does the joy come from?"
Gu Yuanrang was puzzled.
Master Zhang smiled and said, "Those two were promoted to the position of Altar Master in the past precisely by managing the great array. Today, it seems they're extending to you the joy of receiving a decree for wealth and renown in advance."
Gu Yuanrang couldn't help but suppress a grin and immediately returned the gesture with a bow.
Xie Qiongke and Ascendant Fuluan exchanged glances, thinking this man is quite polite!
"Daoist, no need to be so courteous. It is said our Da Luo Sect houses a yellow apricot tree, gathering the essence of the heaven and earth, the sun and moon; its flavor is exceedingly delightful. Once you conclude managing the great array, you must try it!"
Gu Yuanrang was even more delighted, thinking Master Zhang had not deceived him before; the fellow Daoists within the Da Luo Sect are truly amiable, each one speaks pleasantly.
On this day, in the Ancient Yin River Dao.
After Xu Qing handed the array disk to Gu Yuanrang, he led Shiyue to the venue where Wuchang resided.
At this time, Qing Wuchang and Chi Wuchang were hosting a grand banquet, widely inviting companions to feast and drink joyously together.
However, those companions were all devilish outsiders, and the feast consisted of fresh blood mercury, or dishes like 'Don't Envy Lamb' and 'Crumbling Bones'.
'Don't Envy Lamb' refers to youth, women; 'Crumbling Bones' refers to toddlers and children.
Both, whether women and children, elderly or youth, can be referred to as 'two-legged lambs'.
This term stems from...
Cultivators face the three disasters of thunder, fire, and wind, considered the calamity decreed by heaven and earth.
Whereas the living beings of the world face the minor three disasters: warfare, plague, and famine.
During famine disasters, starving corpses fill the roads, and people resort to cannibalism.
Terms like 'Don't Envy Lamb' originate from this.
However, today, Xu Qing combines the strength of three sects, taking seeds from distant lands, improving cultivation, long resolving the famine disasters across twelve states. Yet within the Yin River, those human cultivators who've fallen into filthy calamity have turned into beasts, consorting with demons and feasting upon their own kind!
Xu Qing looked at the limbs of children referred to as 'Crumbling Bones' and the ravenous demonic outsiders, and an unquenchable nameless fire ignited in his heart.
This fire stems from the responsibility of the Bao Sheng deity to protect life, from the duty of the Family Guardian Immortal of Cat Immortal Hall to safeguard family peace, and most importantly, from the mission of the Da Luo Sect to slay demons and correct yin and yang!
At the highest point of the venue, Qing and Chi Wuchang seemed to sense something amiss, as both ghosts nearly simultaneously looked toward where Xu Qing was.
"A guest from afar, why not come inside to drink and discuss the Dao with us, would it not be joyous?"
Xu Qing's cold gaze pierced the venue, landing on the two ghosts with tall hats, hanging soul-fetching chains and mourning sticks by their necks and sides.
These two ghosts couldn't even properly emulate the Wuchang of the Underworld.
Tongue silent, eyes not furious, neither white nor black, still dare to call themselves Wuchang?
