365 Brewing (Part 1)

Great Capital · Heavenly Treasure Palace.

The Daoist priests of the Great Dao Sect were driven out of their Dao Palace by government soldiers, as if they were dogs with their tails between their legs.

They were mostly carrying large and small bags of luggage.

Leading the group were three Palace Masters who Civilian Skill: Lin Qinghong, Fang Zhiyun, and Xie Ling.

The three watched as First Squad of soldiers entered the Dao Palace, and as True One and Western Sect watched the spectacle with schadenfreude from a distance.

"After the Eastern Sect, it's us again?" Palace Master Lin Qinghong looked at the crowd gathered around her, her eyes weary.

His daughter's affair has already made him lose face, and now he has even severed ties with her.

But none of these are as impactful as what is happening now.

"A century-old Dao Palace, is it really going to be destroyed in an instant?" he said blankly.

"Where is Daozi? The Grand Master has passed away, and now Tianbao should appoint Daozi to succeed him!" Fang Zhiyun voice.

"Daozi. There are two Daozi. One is far away in Qingchuan, Ze Province, and the other is now..." Xie Ling shook her head.

Looking at Zhang Qingzhi, let alone letting him inherit the position, it would be difficult for him to even remain an ordinary Daoist priest.

His willpower and Essence, Qi, and Spirit were almost completely destroyed.

Given that his cultivation level is far from sufficient to serve as the Grand Master, the position naturally cannot be handed over to him.

The other one's cultivation level is far from sufficient to assume the position of Grand Master, so for now, the three of them have to work together to handle the situation.

For a moment, all three were at a loss and remained silent.

The Daoist priests around them had already been driven away from the palace, and now seeing the three Palace Masters, who were the pillars of the society, also at a loss, their sorrow and helplessness became even more intense.

Some Daoists who already had a weak sense of belonging simply slipped away from the periphery and left without a trace.

Once you find a place to take off your Daoist robe, leaving the already declining Great Dao Sect is incredibly easy.

"Let's go." Fang Zhiyun took one last look at the Heavenly Treasure Palace, at the Sunny Flower Tree, which he might never see again.

This place is about to be transformed by True One into True One's Sun Palace.

Perhaps from this day forward, the name Tianbao will cease to exist. "Oh no! Zhang Qingzhi Daozi has disappeared!"

Suddenly, a Daoist priest cried out in alarm.

What!?

The Third Palace Lord were all startled.

At this time, anyone can leave, but Daozi absolutely cannot.

This represents the Essence, Qi, and Spirit, and spirit of the entire Heavenly Treasure Palace.

Even though Zhang Qingzhi is now half-crippled, he is still Daozi.

If word gets out that Daozi sensed the danger and took the opportunity to escape, the damage to the reputation of the entire Great Dao Sect would be devastating. If the occupation of the Heavenly Treasure Palace was a major blow, then Daozi's escape would be the second major blow!

At this moment, not only did the three Palace Master change color, but a group of high-ranking officials of the Heavenly Treasure Palace also felt a jolt in their hearts.

They quickly dispatched people to search everywhere, but after a flurry of activity, everyone confirmed that Zhang Qingzhi was indeed missing.

The three Palace Master felt a buzzing in their heads.

An indescribable panic welled up in my heart.

The heavens may be about to change! *** Seventy kilometers away from Great Capital, there is a canyon called Taiyi.

Legend has it that a true immortal who had attained enlightenment once rode by on an ox and imparted a scroll of the I Ching classic to the founder of the Great Dao Sect.

It was named after this.

From a distance, Tai Yi Canyon looks like a great river flowing through a triangular crevice in the rocks.

The river is swift and its name is Yi River.

The rocky peak is steep and is called Tai Chen.

So they took one character from each of the homophones and named it Taiyi.

At this moment, on one side of the canyon riverbank, there is a pale boulder more than three meters high, and on the irregularly shaped top of the boulder, a person is sitting cross-legged.

The man wore a golden crown and white robes, and his hands were thick and black, as if he were wearing some kind of glove or arm armor.

From a distance, her figure is graceful, and she wears a gold mask with her eyes closed, clearly indicating that she is a young woman.

"You've been guarding me here for three days. It seems that True One and Western Sect are really quite idle, doing nothing but wasting their time here just for me."

The woman spoke in a clear, melodious voice, like a mountain spring, cool yet carrying a touch of composed nobility.

On the opposite bank of the river, two figures were sitting cross-legged.

A man was wearing a bright red robe with gold thread. He was thin and emaciated, with lifeless eyes and a bald head that looked withered and sunken.

This is an old man who looks like he's about to die.

But here, the other two knew that he was not as weak as he appeared.

Because this person is none other than Yuan Li, the strongest person in True Buddha Temple today, apart from the current Abbot, Master Yuan.

On the other side, an old man dressed in Purple Gold Daoist Robe, with a long beard flowing and wide sleeves swaying, carried Long Sword on his back, exuding an air of otherworldly elegance.

However, his overly solemn demeanor gave him an air of unreality, making him seem more like Daoist Old Swindler.

This person is Daoist Chun Rong, the second of the Ming Mountain Five Sons, who came to jointly attack the True One Jade Void Palace of the Great Dao Sect.

"It's been many years since I last Jade Words Daoist. He still looks as radiant as ever. How rare!" Daoist Chun Rong said with a smile and a soft sigh.

"It's been many years since the three of us have gathered together like this, hasn't it?" Western Sect Yuan Li nodded and sighed.

"Do I know you guys that well?" the Golden Mask Woman said coldly. "Where are Master Yuan and Qing Yi? Why don't they come out to see me?"

"What's the use of seeing or not seeing?" Yuan Li gently turned the Prayer Beads. "Junior brother is now inheriting a great cause and busy with national affairs, unlike us who are so leisurely."

In fact, Master Yuan was his junior brother.

"With the two of us accompanying you, Yu Yan, do you still feel it's not enough?" Daoist Chun Rong said with a smile.

Jin Yuyan a cold laugh.

She just tried to force her way in.

Unfortunately, those two were on the same level as her. Although they were weaker than her and couldn't defeat her head-on, it would be easy for them to entangle and obstruct her.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be wasting her time here.

"Yue Dewen brought this upon himself, that's his own business, but wasn't it a bit too much for you to take action against the Heavenly Treasure Palace?"

"Whether it's excessive or not, if Yu Yan considers it as part of the Jade Void Palace, then it's naturally excessive. But if not, then Yue Dewen brought it upon himself," Western Sect Yuan Li smiled.

"It's getting late. Instead of wasting time here, why don't we return to Ze Province? From now on, we can keep to ourselves and avoid each other's troubles, shall we?"

He looked like an old monk on his deathbed, but after several encounters, Jin Yuyan knew that of the two, Yuan Li was the more troublesome one.

She immediately fell silent, gave a cold laugh, and closed her eyes to regulate her breathing.

Yuan Li and Chunrong also fell silent, sitting quietly on the edge of the Yi River to cultivate their Civilian Skill.

The two sides joined forces to first remove the troublemaking Great Dao Sect from the scene; this was something they had agreed upon long ago.

The Jin Yuyan of the Jade Void Palace has personally taken action is also within their calculations.

At this moment, Jin Yuyan knew it was impossible, but even with the two of them blocking her way, she still refused to back down.

The two of them were puzzled; things had come to this point, and they were actually somewhat confused.

If they initially worked together to hold off Jin Yuyan, it seems the situation has changed now.

Instead, it was Jin Yuyan who was holding them both back.

What exactly is her purpose?!

She should know that, as fellow Spirit General, victory or defeat is actually not important to them.

Because of the characteristics of the Spirit General, they can be defeated, but are almost impossible to kill.

*** Qingchuan Prefecture, Backyard.

Zhang Rongfang reminisced about the previous battle.

In that final moment, he exerted all his strength, and a sudden surge of power from his back elevated the power of his attack to a whole new level.

Judging from the situation at the time, it seemed that before he died, that guy recognized what that strange power was.

As he pondered, he quietly gazed at the newly transplanted white Sunny Flower Tree.

All the flowers and trees in the Backyard were replaced with Sunny Flower Tree.

He loved this white, the overwhelming white, the fragrance in the air, just like when he first saw Heavenly Treasure Palace, it seemed to wash away the weariness and fatigue in his heart.

"Shang Dingye is dead. The Shang Family might not find out in a short time, but given enough time, they will definitely take it seriously and investigate. After all, he was a Grandmaster. I don't know if our plan will be effective," Zuo Han said softly from behind.

"Don't worry." Zhang Rongfang turned around. "With Master Yue gone, I have little attachment to the Great Dao Sect anymore. If we are discovered, we can simply leave this place and go to another place to lie low."

Only a group of Grandmasters, or even Great Grandmaster, could defeat us. But in this vast world, how many Great Grandmaster are there? Most are high-ranking and powerful figures; would they waste so much time and effort specifically tracking us down?

"What the Crown Prince says is absolutely right," Zuo Han agreed. Great Grandmaster are not like cabbages.

Even within the vast territory of the Great Ling, each top-tier power likely possesses only a handful of such individuals. Each one is a top-tier powerhouse.

Just like Shangguan Feihe in this place.

This person most likely persisted in cultivation until reaching perfection after breaking through to the Great Grandmaster, and only Worship God when there was no further progress to be made.

Such powerful individuals are all exceptional people, each with a vast network of influential figures and trusted followers behind them.

Do not act rashly.

"Now that Master Yue has left, why don't Crown Prince abandon this nominal post and return to the Moon God Palace with me? Given the seclusion of the Moon God Palace, it wouldn't be too late to go out after you've reached the limit of your cultivation." Although Zuo Han was not at the center of the vortex, he could already feel the oppressive atmosphere of an impending storm.

The Great Dao Sect's Jade Void Jade Void Palace mobilized its entire force, with so many Grandmasters Great Grandmaster taking action. Where did they go? Why have they remained silent for so long? With their Grand Master dead, no one would believe that the Great Dao Sect would remain completely indifferent.

Everyone was waiting, waiting for the first counterattack from the Great Dao Sect.

The counterattack was like a knife, ready to fall at any moment, but it was impossible to know where it would strike.

"Master Yue has placed high hopes on me and has done a great deal for me. But becoming the Grand Master Non-Self desire," Zhang Rongfang sighed.

In fact, rather than going to the Moon God Palace where the situation is unknown and facing the Moon God who may exist, it would be better to stay in the Great Dao Sect. At least his relationship with his Grandmaster Uncle Jin Yuyan in the Jade Void Palace seems to have the potential to Further Progress.

Moreover, he received so much care from his Master Yue.

To simply walk away at such a time would not be a virtuous act.

"By the way, Uncle Zuo, do you know what the last word that guy uttered was? How is my final move different from my usual bursts of power?"

Zhang Rongfang changed the subject.

Regarding Shang Dingye's death, Zhang Ying was merely an External Medicine Super Grade and had absolutely no connection to Shang Dingye's death.

Therefore, even if Shang Family investigate, they won't be able to find him unless they understand his true capabilities.

At this moment, what he cared about more was the last word Shang Dingye had said.

What exactly was that purplish-red tumor on his back? Perhaps Shang Dingye had seen it before.

"I am not familiar with the affairs of the Daoist Sect, but the Crown Prince's last move had a strange penetrating power. It's hard to describe." Zuo Han frowned and said, "It's like a kind of the Extreme Realm, where he mobilized more of his own physical strength."

They don't have a word for muscle, so when they talk about it, they usually use flesh and blood instead.

"Extreme Realm." Zhang Rongfang silently memorized it.

"Let's not talk about that anymore, Uncle Zuo. I plan to operate a proper business in Ze Province and build a safe base that is entirely our own. We won't have to move around and have no fixed abode like before."

"This is feasible. But the key is to maintain a good relationship with the Jade Void Palace," Zuo Han said in a deep voice. Although he was extremely disgusted with the Jade Void Palace, he also knew that he didn't have the strength or the opportunity to turn against this behemoth.

Zhang Rongfang also saw through his thoughts, and the two of them made detailed plans on how to arrange, plan, and develop in the future.

Moreover, with Sun Chaoyue present, and the cooperation and division of labor among the others, all kinds of matters in Qingchuan Prefecture are now being handled in an orderly manner.

Zhang Zhenhai and Zhang Yunqi were responsible for the Rebel Sect to search for the medicinal materials for the Golden Toad Skill and gather the necessary information.

The Thousand Stone Sect, in collaboration with the Aloeswood Palace's team, sought ways to amass wealth; this place was unlike Ci Tong Port.

Although Qingchuan Prefecture also has a port, its throughput is not large, and it takes a long detour to reach trading countries, making the costs too high, so maritime merchants are unwilling to come here.

In addition, the Twelve Clan Estates had already controlled almost all industries.

Therefore, acquiring more financial resources is extremely difficult.

After having some free time, Zhang Rongfang would refine pills and produce Grain Avoidance Pill every few days.

The rest of the time, he would secretly wander around outside.

He is searching for a new person to Blood Flesh Completion.

The dramatic changes in the situation of the Great Dao Sect and the mysterious death of his master made him feel a sense of danger that was far more urgent than before.

He must improve himself as soon as possible.

Only then can we ensure that we are not submerged by huge waves.
