Chapter 1148: Apology and Acceptance
In the team waiting for the Twelve Holy Lands, there were not only the cultivators from the Foreign Affairs Hall led by Hall Master Xu, but also Chenyang Tianzun, and next to Chenyang Tianzun was Wu Tao.
Behind Wu Tao were Wang Jinyu and other new cultivators from Xuyang Sect. They had also received the task of entertaining foreign guests in the Foreign Affairs Hall, and were working under Wu Tao to help Wu Tao entertain the cultivators from the Twelve Holy Lands.
There were already cultivators from Xuyang Sect waiting on the way to the Twelve Holy Lands, so wherever the large flying boats of the Twelve Holy Lands went, they would be reported back to Hall Master Xu.
After a while, Hall Master Xu said, "The Twelve Holy Lands are coming!"
As Hall Master Xu finished speaking, 12 large flying boats of the ninth rank appeared in the sky ahead, and each large flying boat was hoisted with the holy flag of the Twelve Holy Lands.
At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Wu Tao and Hall Master Xu Chenyang Tianzun, and this figure was Miaoyang Renxian.
"Uncle Master, Supreme Master, Senior." Chenyang Tianzun, Hall Master Xu and Wu Tao immediately bowed to the Miaoyang Immortal in front of them. And the many Xuyang Sect cultivators behind them also bowed and shouted to pay their respects to the Supreme Master.
Miaoyang Immortal just turned his head and nodded slightly, then his eyes fell on the 12 ninth-order large flying boats of the twelve holy places, with a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Welcome all Taoist friends to my Mahayana Immortal Ceremony."
As Miaoyang Immortal's voice fell, voices rang out one after another on the ninth-order large flying boats of the twelve holy places.
"Fellow Taoist Miaoyang, congratulations again!"
"Last time, Fellow Taoist Miaoyang broke through the Mahayana realm, but I didn't have time to discuss Taoism with Fellow Taoist Miaoyang. This time, Fellow Taoist Miaoyang's Mahayana Ceremony, we must have a good exchange."
The voices speaking were all Mahayana Immortals from the twelve holy places.
"Daoyou Tianjun is right. Miaoyang will have to treat you well this time and ask you about the mysteries of the Mahayana Immortal Realm. After all, you are Miaoyang's predecessors."
Miaoyang Immortal smiled and continued, "Daoyou, please go to my Immortal Hall to have a chat. I will leave this to them."
"Okay, okay."
So, a figure came out from each of the nine-level large flying boats of the twelve holy places, and the twelve figures entered the Xuyang Sect together with Miaoyang Immortal.
After Miaoyang Immortal brought the Mahayana Immortals of the twelve holy places into the sect, Hall Master Xu and Chenyang Tianzun also immediately invited other cultivators from the twelve holy places to enter the sect.
Wu Tao also brought Wang Jinyu and others to meet Duan Jiujian, Ji Miaotong, Gu Xinghu and others. Duan Jiujian, Ji Miaotong, Gu Xinghu and others have already broken through to the second level of the Refining Void Realm.
These Refining Void Immortals are also considered to be the younger generation, and they have more topics to talk about, so they followed Wu Tao into the Xuyang Sect and talked while entering the Xuyang Sect.
Duan Jiujian, Yangjitian, Gu Xinghu and others also congratulated Xuyang Sect for having a great immortal like Miaoyang Tianzun, and Xuyang Sect will also become Xuyang Holy Land.
In the past, even if Wu Tao suppressed them from 12 holy lands, they were still from an eighth-grade immortal sect, which made Duan Jiujian, Yangjitian and others lose face, but now Xuyang Sect is also Xuyang Holy Land, and being suppressed by Wu Tao does not seem as difficult to accept as before.
"Congratulations to Xuyang Sect for returning to the ninth-grade immortal holy land. From now on, our Tiancang Realm will be 13 holy lands..." Yangjitian of Xianyang Holy Land said to Wu Tao with a smile.
The relationship between Xianyang Holy Land and Xuyang Sect has always been very good, and Wu Tao also responded enthusiastically to Yangjitian. However, there are several holy lands that do not have a good relationship with Xuyang Sect, but everyone is a guest, and the other party did not act rudely, and Wu Tao still entertained them warmly.
In the words of Miaoyang Renxian, those holy places did not want the Xuyang Sect to have a Mahayana Immortal and return to the ninth-grade immortal cultivation holy place, but now that the matter has been settled, the Xuyang Sect has already produced a Mahayana Immortal, and those holy places will not do anything.
Perhaps there will be friction between holy places in the future, which is also very normal.
The twelve holy places are high above, but the twelve holy places are not harmonious, and there are also frictions in interests in the Tiancang Realm.
Now there is the Xuyang Sect as a holy place, and it has become 13 holy places. The 13 holy places share the immortal cultivation resources of the Tiancang Realm together, and it is inevitable that there will be friction and alliances with each other.
Xuyang Sect now has the best relationship with Xianyang Holy Land and Tianxing Holy Land, and has no contradictions with Xianyuan Holy Land and Xianjian Holy Land, but it is not a friendly relationship with other holy places.
After the two Mahayana Immortals of Xuyang Holy Land had an accident, several holy places used various means to erode and embezzle many of Xuyang Holy Land's immortal cultivation resources and industries.
Following the congratulations of Yangjitian, Gu Xinghu and others also congratulated. Ji Miaotong of Xianling Holy Land glanced at Wu Tao, but his face was very calm, as if the gap between him and Wu Tao had never happened before.
"Fellow Daoist Li is far ahead of us, leaving us far behind. It seems that when Fellow Daoist Li breaks through the Hedao realm in the future, we are still wasting time in the Lianxu realm." Zhang Tianwei of Xianyuan Holy Land felt the third-level Lianxu aura emanating from Wu Tao and said with emotion.
Wu Tao received them without hiding his cultivation. He exuded the aura of the third-level Lianxu, and now he has the Mahayana Immortal Miaoyang as his backer, so there is no need to hide his cultivation.
"Then there is no need for us to compete with Fellow Daoist Li. Looking at the entire Tiancang Realm and the history of immortal cultivation, Fellow Daoist Li's cultivation speed is definitely among the best. It is extremely difficult to find a few people who can compare with Fellow Daoist Li." Yang Jitian said.
Wu Tao heard these words. He knew his own business. He was able to go from the first level of Refining Void to the third level of Refining Void. This was all due to the fragments of Fire Virtue Immortal Crystal. Now that the fragments of Fire Virtue Immortal Crystal are gone, his cultivation speed may not be as fast as Duan Jiujian, Yangjitian and others.
So Wu Tao said modestly: "Don't flatter me, the great realm of Refining Void is not so simple. The further you go, the harder it is to practice. Now that I have broken through to the third level of Refining Void, I have already felt the difficulty of practicing."
"Maybe Li is still in the realm of Refining Void. Some of you Taoist friends have already broken through to the realm of Hedao. This is not new among the cultivators."
Seeing Wu Tao's modesty, Yangjitian, Zhang Tianwei and others also laughed. Then Wu Tao arranged the Refining Void cultivators of the twelve holy places one by one, and then said goodbye and left. After all, tomorrow is the Mahayana ceremony of Miaoyang Immortal.
The high-level immortal cultivators from the twelve holy places were also arranged by Hall Master Xu, Chenyang Tianzun, Tianxu Daojun and others. They gathered together. At this time, other immortal cultivators from the Foreign Affairs Hall came to report: "Report to the Hall Master, some immortal cultivators from outside the sect who have not received invitations came to congratulate."
In addition to the 12 old ninth-grade immortal cultivation holy places, the Xuyang Sect used to be an eighth-grade immortal cultivation sect, so basically all the eighth-grade immortal cultivation sects were invited to the Mahayana ceremony of Miaoyang Renxian. There are also some seventh-grade immortal cultivation sects, and Xuyang Sect will also hand in invitations.
But there are still many immortal cultivation sects below the seventh grade in Tiancang Realm that are not qualified to be invited, but now they have come, and Xuyang Sect has become a holy place again, so there is no reason to refuse guests.
So Hall Master Xu said to the cultivator from the Foreign Affairs Hall: "You arrange for them to be arranged."
The cultivator from the Foreign Affairs Hall nodded and said: "Okay, Hall Master Xu, there is one more thing."
Hall Master Xu said: "What is it?"
"The Sect Master Si of the Tianfu Sect personally brought the sect cultivators to congratulate. He said he wanted to see Hall Master Xu and Chenyang Tianzun."
"Tianfu Sect, you guessed it right, Junior Brother Xu. If you don't send an invitation to Tianfu Sect, Tianfu Sect will come uninvited. This is apparently congratulations, but in fact it is to apologize." Chenyang Tianzun smiled and said to Hall Master Xu.
Wu Tao was also listening on the side. He also knew that the reason why Xueyang Sect was able to break through the Xuyang Sect's ninth-level incomplete sect protection formation was because the Sect Master of Xueyang Sect held the Tianfu Sect's semi-immortal talisman.
Now that Xuyang Sect is powerful, Tianfu Sect is afraid. Regardless of whether the semi-immortal talisman was stolen by Deputy Sect Master Mao Tianzhen and traded with Xueyang Sect privately as rumored, and whether it has nothing to do with Tianfu Sect, Tianfu Sect still has to apologize.
Hall Master Xu smiled and said, "Let's go, let's go meet that Sect Master Si and see how sincere he is." At this point, he said to the cultivator from the Foreign Affairs Hall, "Go and bring Sect Master Si to the Foreign Affairs Hall to see us."
"Sect Master Si."
Hall Master Xu and Chenyang Tianzun walked towards the Foreign Affairs Hall, and Hall Master Xu also called Wu Tao.
A quarter of an hour later, Hall Master Xu and Chenyang Tianzun sat in a hall in the Foreign Affairs Hall. Wu Tao also sat aside.
Not long after, the voice of the cultivator from the Foreign Affairs Hall sounded outside the hall: "Hall Master, Sect Master Si of Tianfu Sect is here!"
"Please let Sect Master Si in." Hall Master Xu said calmly.
"Master Si, please." The voice of the cultivators from the Foreign Affairs Hall sounded outside the hall, and there were footsteps. Soon, Wu Tao, Hall Master Xu, and Chenyang Tianzun saw Master Si of Tianfu Sect and the head of the Foreign Affairs Hall of Tianfu Sect.
Wu Tao had never seen this Master Si of Tianfu Sect, but he had seen the head of the Foreign Affairs Hall of Tianfu Sect in Tianxing Holy Land. Of course, they had no intersection, but they looked familiar.
After Master Si and the head of the Foreign Affairs Hall of Tianfu Sect came in, they looked very humble and cautious. They bowed to Hall Master Xu and Chenyang Tianzun and said, "Hello, Master Xu, Hello, Chenyang Tianzun."
Hall Master Xu looked at Master Si and said, "Tianfu Sect is far away from my Xuyang Holy Land, so this time, I didn't dare to trouble Tianfu Sect to come all the way for the Mahayana ceremony of the Supreme of my Holy Land, but I didn't expect Master Si to come in person."
This was said in a weird way, but no matter which cultivator was present, they could understand what Master Xu meant.
Sect Master Si smiled and said, "Senior Miaoyang was promoted to a Mahayana human immortal, and he is well-known throughout the Tiancang Realm. This is a great event in our Tiancang Realm. Even if the Tianfu Sect is far away, how can we not come to congratulate Senior Miaoyang."
Speaking of this, Sect Master Si paused and continued, "Si came uninvited this time, and I hope Xuyang Holy Land will forgive me. So for this uninvited coming, I have a small thing to apologize for."
Speaking of this, Sect Master Si reached out to the storage bag on his waist, took out the Eight-Initiation Array Mirror, handed it to Master Xu and said, "This is the Eight-Initiation Array Mirror, which is regarded as the apology made by the Tianfu Sect for this uninvited coming. Please accept it with a smile from Xuyang Holy Land."
Sect Master Si is also a person of particulars. He will not say that it is because of the matter of the Half-Immortal Talisman, but that it is an apology for this uninvited coming. When Master Xu and Chenyang Tianzun saw the Eight-Initiation Array Mirror in front of them, their hearts were moved.
If it is really the legendary Eight-Awakening Mirror, then Hall Master Xu and Chenyang Tianzun have already seen the sincerity of the Tianfu Sect.
"It is the Eight-Awakening Mirror?" Hall Master Xu was surprised and took the Eight-Awakening Mirror from Sect Master Si.
Sect Master Si said: "If it is genuine, Hall Master Xu can ask Hall Master Liao from your holy land to verify it."
Hall Master Xu nodded slightly and said to the cultivator from the Foreign Affairs Hall who brought in Sect Master Si: "Go and ask Hall Master Liao to come over."
The cultivator from the Foreign Affairs Hall bowed and accepted the order, and went out of the hall to invite Liao Tianbai. In the hall, Hall Master Xu carefully examined the Eight-Awakening Mirror in his hand, and then showed it to Chenyang Tianzun.
Wu Tao just sat quietly and watched.
Sect Master Si and the head of the Foreign Affairs Hall of Tianfu Sect also stood quietly, waiting for Liao Tianbai's arrival.
Soon Liao Tianbai arrived, his expression was still quite excited, he directly passed by Master Si and the head of the Foreign Affairs Hall of Tianfu Sect, took the Eight-Awakening Array Mirror from Chenyang Tianzun, probed into the Eight-Awakening Array Mirror with his mind, and said with joy on his face: "It is really the Eight-Awakening Array Mirror, the legendary Eight-Awakening Array Mirror, I didn't expect it to fall into the hands of Tianfu Sect."
Speaking of this, Liao Tianbai looked at Master Si: "Master Si is really a fairy, relying on this Eight-Awakening Array Mirror, Master Si will soon be promoted to a ninth-level array master."
Master Si heard Liao Tianbai's words, and his heart was miserable. He knew how long it had been since he got the Eight-Awakening Array Mirror, and he had no time to comprehend it. Moreover, he lost the most important semi-immortal talisman of the sect, but he still forced a smile and said: "This is a small apology from the Tianfu Sect for coming uninvited this time. I hope that Master Liao will accept it."
Master Liao looked at Master Xu and Chenyang Tianzun, and saw that both of them nodded to him lightly. Liao Tianbai smiled and said: "Okay, okay, then I will accept it. Thank you, Master Si, for giving it up."
With this eight-initiated formation mirror, he can be promoted to a ninth-level low-level formation master faster.
Master Xu laughed and said: "Master Si has come from afar, please take a seat quickly. Come on, bring the best spiritual tea."
Then, the whole ceremony was filled with a happy atmosphere, and both the host and the guests were delighted.
…
Wu Tao left the Foreign Affairs Hall and did not return to his cave, but came to a fairy peak. At this time, all the cultivators of Liuyang Sect lived in this fairy peak. As the lower sect of Xuyang Sect, how could Liuyang Sect not come to such a major event?
All the major peak masters and Hedao Daojuns of Liuyang Sect who came to Liuyang Sect this time have come, and some people Wu Tao is familiar with, Fengyang Tianjun, Zhou Ruiyang, Zhou Ziyan, Zhou Xinyang, Li Fengqing, these familiar Liuyang Sect old friends have come.
After Wu Tao arrived, the major Hedao Daojuns of Liuyang Sect and Li Fengyang and other Lianxu Tianjuns, Zhou Xinyang, Li Fengqing and others have also broken through to the Lianxu realm.
They reminisced with Wu Tao, and the cultivators of Liuyang Sect were also happy, because once Xuyang Sect became a ninth-grade immortal cultivation holy land, then Liuyang Sect, as a lower sect, would definitely jump up one grade and become an eighth-grade immortal cultivation sect.
After becoming an eighth-grade immortal cultivation sect, it will be granted an eighth-grade spiritual vein dojo, and will also be granted the skills of the realm of the cross-tribulation realm. These Hedao Daojuns of Liuyang Sect will have the opportunity to be promoted to the realm of the cross-tribulation Tianzun in the future.
