Jie Sect Female Immortal Conference, Jin Ling Challenges!

"Human Race..."

Nuwa whispered softly; she would never forget the race she had created.

Back when she first created the Human Race, they were weak and ignorant. To protect the newborn humans, Nuwa had set up a grand formation to shelter them for one Yuanhui.

After that, the Human Race had to survive on the Primordial Land by relying on their own strength.

She was a Saint, not a nanny.

However, just because Nuwa would not interfere in the trivial matters of the Human Race did not mean she would ignore major events.

Nuwa's calm gaze fell upon Fuxi as she said, "Elder Brother, I need you to help me investigate the reason behind this."

Fuxi nodded, "Very well."

The Heavenly Court was preparing the Witch-Slaying Sword.

The Witch Race was indulging in food and drink.

Meanwhile, over at the Jie Teach, Sect Master Tongtian had just finished his lecture for Cangyuan.

Cangyuan's realm had become even more profound and stable after ten thousand years of refinement.

"Thank you, Teacher."

Cangyuan bowed to Sect Master Tongtian.

Sect Master Tongtian waved his hand, looking at Cangyuan with a playful smile, "If you truly want to thank me, then bring me some more Enlightenment Tea Leaves."

Cangyuan nodded and counted how many Enlightenment Tea Leaves he had left.

The first time, he had given one thousand leaves to the Sanxiao Sisters, but Yunxiao had gifted them to Sect Master Tongtian in Cangyuan's name.

The second time, he had given one thousand leaves directly to Sect Master Tongtian.

Over these years, Cangyuan had consumed quite a few himself.

Now, his reserves of Enlightenment Tea Leaves were not very large.

Only eight thousand leaves remained.

It would be several dozen Yuanhui before the Dao Comprehension Tea Tree grew new leaves; the Enlightenment Tea Leaves were a finite resource that diminished with every use.

In the end, Cangyuan took out another thousand Enlightenment Tea Leaves and presented them to his teacher, Tongtian.

"Teacher, please enjoy the tea."

"Hahahaha!" Sect Master Tongtian laughed heartily, "Good lad, you're sensible."

Sect Master Tongtian happily accepted the Enlightenment Tea Leaves. Afterward, Cangyuan rose to take his leave and departed from Biyou Palace.

"Oh, right."

Before he left, Tongtian called out to Cangyuan, saying, "Five thousand years ago, Jin Ling came looking for you, but since I was lecturing you at the time, she let it be."

"She was looking for you regarding the Three Teach Conference. After all, you are the fourth Grand Unity Immortal of my Jie Teach. After you leave, go see Duobao, Jin Ling, and the others to discuss the matters of the Three Teach Conference together."

"The Three Teach Conference?"

Cangyuan was stunned for a moment.

Sect Master Tongtian nodded, "Indeed. In the past, your Eldest Martial Uncle, Second Martial Uncle, and I were all together on Kunlun Mountain. But later, because my Jie Teach had too many disciples, I came here to the East Sea to find a new dojo and establish the Jie Teach, while your Eldest Martial Uncle went to Shouyang Mountain. Thus, the three teachings separated."

"This is the first time we have gathered since the three teachings split, so naturally, we must exchange ideas and discuss the Dao."

Speaking of this, a wave of pride surged in Sect Master Tongtian's heart.

The Ren Teach had only Xuandu, a single Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal.

The Chan Teach had the Twelve Golden Immortals plus Immortal Weng of the South Pole and Yun Zhongzi, yet only two of them were Grand Unity Immortals.

And his Jie Teach alone possessed four Grand Unity Immortals—a number greater than the Ren and Chan teachings combined.

Did this not perfectly demonstrate that he, Tongtian, was the most capable of the three brothers when it came to teaching disciples?

"Yes, Master."

Cangyuan bowed deeply.

"Mm."

"Go on."

Cangyuan left Biyou Palace.

He headed straight back to the Three Immortal Island.

He could finally, finally, finally tear through space and travel through the void to get around!

However, upon returning to the Three Immortal Island, Cangyuan found the place quite lively.

Almost... everyone there was a female disciple of the Jie Teach!

The masters of the Three Immortal Island: Yunxiao, Qiongxiao, Bixiao, and Bai Lianxin.

Three of the four personal disciples: Jin Ling, Wudang, Guiling, and the Third Holy Mother.

And the registered disciples: Han Zhi Xian, Fairy Caiyun, Holy Mother Jin Guang from the Ten Heavenly Lords, and even the homebody Shiji was there.

At this point in time, Daoist Duobao had not yet taken Holy Mother Huoling as his disciple, so only four of the five great Holy Mothers of the Jie Sect were present.

"A Female Immortal Conference?"

"This must be the Primordial Land's alternative version of a girls' gathering."

Cangyuan smiled slightly.

He had heard of the Female Immortal Conference from Yunxiao and her sisters before; it was held right when he first stepped onto the Primordial Land. Let's call it the First Jie Sect Female Immortal Conference for now.

It was held at Holy Mother Jin Ling's dojo at the time.

This second one was actually being held at their Three Immortal Island.

Cangyuan returned.

With his Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal aura concealed, those at the Taiyi or Golden Immortal realms naturally could not detect Cangyuan.

But... Holy Mother Jin Ling and Holy Mother Wudang were both Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals. If he didn't have some methods, hiding from fellow Daoists of the same realm would likely be difficult.

Unless necessary, Cangyuan would not use the Sky-Covering Array to conceal himself.

Otherwise, if those Great Supernatural Beings and Saints couldn't see through a mere Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal like him, that would be truly strange and suspicious.

Therefore, Cangyuan's Sky-Covering Array basically only concealed his Inner World.

Not his physical self.

Amidst the chirping and laughter, Holy Mother Jin Ling, dressed in a golden Daoist robe, had sharp eyes and a heroic air between her brows. She looked toward a patch of empty space and smiled faintly: "Since Junior Brother Cangyuan has returned, why not show yourself? Are you sneaking around because you want to eavesdrop on our sisters' conversation?"

These words instantly drew the attention of all the female immortals present.

Bixiao was surprised: "Junior Brother is back? Where? Where?"

Qiongxiao gave Bixiao a sideways glance and said, "Junior Brother is a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal; he comes and goes as he pleases, and his myriad methods are singular. How could you possibly detect him?"

Cangyuan laughed and stepped out from the void. His azure Daoist robe swayed gently, as if ripples were dancing on water, and the azure divine mark between his brows shone brilliantly. His entire person gave off a feeling of affinity and naturalness, like a breath of fresh spring air.

"Senior Sister Jin Ling, Senior Sister Wudang, Senior Sister Guiling, Senior Sister Yunxiao, and all Junior Sisters."

Cangyuan greeted them one by one.

Bixiao kept nodding her little head, waiting and waiting, but when she heard him jump straight to "all Junior Sisters" after "Senior Sister Yunxiao," she wailed: "What does that mean? Are we not considered Senior Sisters too?"

Qiongxiao nodded as if it were a serious matter, her resentful gaze fixed on Cangyuan with sharp intensity: "Exactly, exactly."

Bai Lianxin tilted her little head and thought: "I believe I am a direct disciple, so I am a Senior Sister as well."

Han Zhi Xian, Fairy Caiyun, Shiji, and Holy Mother Jin Guang all smiled without saying a word.

In front of this person, they were truly Junior Sisters.

Cangyuan smoothed things over with Bixiao and laughed: "Everyone, since this is a gathering for female immortals, I won't overstay my welcome. Please, continue."

After saying this, Cangyuan intended to return to his Canglan Palace.

At this moment, Holy Mother Jin Ling flashed behind Cangyuan, her fair, slender hand landing on his shoulder with a firm, powerful grip: "Junior Brother, don't be in such a rush to leave. Previously, when Junior Sister Wudang Attained the Great Luo, we sparred and discussed the Dao with her, which was of great benefit."

"I wanted to find you before, but since you were with the Teacher, I let it go. However, since you are free now, why don't you and I spar and discuss the Dao?"

"Let's not, Senior Sister." Cangyuan grabbed Holy Mother Jin Ling's hand and removed it from his shoulder: "If you wish to spar, the upcoming Three Religions Dao Discussion Conference will surely allow you to fight to your heart's content against the Senior Brothers of the Ren and Chan Sects."

Holy Mother Jin Ling was rumored to be the manifestation of a wisp of Geng Metal Qi from heaven and earth. She was not skilled in strategy, and her personality was straightforward, irritable, and combative. Back at Kunlun Mountain, she loved to "discuss the Dao" with others—the kind of discussion where she would beat you until you howled.

Besides Cangyuan, Jin Ling most often sought out Duobao. Later, when Wudang Attained the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm, Jin Ling also sought her out for a spar.

However, given Holy Mother Wudang's non-competitive, quiet, and indifferent nature, she wouldn't go all out even if they really fought. To Holy Mother Jin Ling, it felt more like perfunctory behavior, so over time, Jin Ling stopped seeking out Holy Mother Wudang.

Now that Cangyuan had just shown up, and he was a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, it would be strange if Jin Ling didn't come looking for him.

"Speaking of the Three Religions Dao Discussion Conference..." Jin Ling nodded slightly and said directly: "We wanted to discuss it with you before, but since you were with the Teacher, we let it go. Since everyone is here now, let's call Duobao over. We can discuss this matter after you and I have finished our spar."
