I have some instructions for Guiling, who should return early to the side of the Heavenly Emperor as a protector.”
The named disciples bowed and left the great hall with a whoosh, literally hundreds of them employing hundreds of methods of flight, some staying within the secret realms of the Azure Wander Palace, others returning to Jinao Island and the Isles of the Immortals overseas.
The Tongtian Sect Leader lifted his chin slightly.
Guilingling stowed away its shell and hopped twice to reach its master’s side, sitting on a step nearby and started nibbling on a spirit fruit.
“Master, what instructions do you have?”
Tongtian chuckled, “Nothing particular to instruct you on, but I want to ask you something out of the blue.
Now that you’ve had some contact with the disciples of the Chan Teaching in the Land of the Northern Continent, how do you feel about them?”
Guilingling tilted its head: “At that time, I was bound by the power of the Heavenly Dao, so I didn’t interfere with their exorcising demons for the Ancestral Witch Houtu, but I think, everyone seemed quite nice.”
“That Immortal Taiyi speaks quite pleasantly, and Immortal Yuding is also very powerful, but they can’t compare to the few of us.”
“If we really had to fight them during the Dao Immortal Tribulation, they wouldn’t be able to beat us.”
“Alas,” the Tongtian Sect Leader sighed, “Wishing for peace and quiet when the Heavenly Dao insists on provoking the Dao Immortal Tribulation.
This is partly my fault for accepting too many disciples and many of them bear karmic hindrances, resulting in our Jie Sect not having a good impression in the eyes of the Heavenly Dao.
If our experts fill the ranks to face the tribulation, it will only strengthen the Heavenly Dao.”
Guilingling asked, “Then Master, is there any way to resolve this tribulation?”
The Tongtian Sect Leader spoke leisurely, “The foundation of the Heavenly Dao is living beings, to extinguish all living beings is to temporarily eliminate the Heavenly Dao.”
Guilingling blinked, “You wouldn’t be that terrible, right Master?”
“I’m not some slaying demon!”
The Tongtian Sect Leader swore in annoyance: “Didn’t you ask if there was a way?
I’m just telling you there is.”
The Tongtian Sect Leader handed a Jade Talisman over to Guilingling.
“If Ping’an seeks an audience with Nüwa later, follow him and secretly hand this Jade Talisman to her.”
Are you secretly infatuated with Holy Mother of the Human Race?”
“Where is my Green Duckweed Sword!”
Guilingling quickly begged for mercy, “Just joking, just joking.
Can’t you take a joke?”
The Tongtian Sect Leader huffed, speaking indifferently,
“This is a matter concerning the survival of the Jie Sect!”
“Your Second Elder has been forming connections and alliances for a while now, trying to employ the two Western Sect Leaders against our Jie Sect, as if I didn’t know.”
“Now, the Western Sect and the Human Race are at odds with each other.
Every time just attacking Zhunti, Shengmu Nuwa emerges, and we’ll seize upon this!”
“Be smart about it too.
In such situations in the future, you can injure yourself with a sword beforehand, and won’t I sense my beloved disciple in pain and go there directly?
If I show up, what can two sect leaders from the West do?”
Guilingling blinked, “Master, we can handle the Chan Teaching without an alliance, so why form one?”
“Do you expect me to fight three on my own?”
“Handle this matter with care!”
“I’ll make it very clear; your Second Elder certainly won’t harm me.
He wanted to help me prune my branches since the ancient times.”
Tongtian tapped a finger on Guilingling’s head, giving it a light push.
“You lot are those branches!”
Guilingling giggled, “Master is the best.
I’ll go find Ping’an now!”
“Protect if you must, but don’t stick too close!
Our Jie Sect isn’t so desperate we’d marry off disciples to survive!”
Master, why are you saying crazy things!”
In a small world beyond the heavens, the Daoist Qia Feng stood amid the beautiful scenery of a setting sun, gazing into the distance towards the main world.
Two young acolytes approached and bowed.
“Teacher, where will you go next?”
“With the authority to command the Three Thousand Messengers of the Heavens, will you find a place to establish a dwelling or inspect various locations?”
“Let’s do the inspections first.”
Daoist Qia Feng muttered:
“Since ancient times, our West has been cultivating these heavens and this place is actually our foundational stronghold.”
“It’s just that who would willingly leave the main world?”
“The main world is the root of the Desolate Era, there lies the chance to become a truly unparalleled powerhouse…
Let’s go, where’s a religious ceremony being held recently?”
“Oh, Sky Amber Monastery.”
“Then let’s head there.”
