Adjustments I

Ling Ting, Assembled Sages Institute.

Located to the right of the Ling Ting Palace complex, the Assembled Sages Institute is a religious administrative department that many people believe to be exceptionally ornate.

But in reality, there is only a simple, long, narrow bungalow here.

A dozen or so small huts, lined up in a row, no more than five meters high and six meters wide, became the highest religious court in the entire Great Ling.

The weather gradually turned cold and gloomy, and snowflakes fell to the ground, covering the Assembled Sages Institute with a thick layer of white.

There was no heating in Assembled Sages Institute, but the warmth emanating from the few people present was enough to make it feel like springtime.

At this moment, there were only three people in the entire Assembled Sages Institute.

It's completely different from the previous scale of dozens of people.

"So I said, what's the point of keeping those good-for-nothings here? They're not very useful, they just take up space. This place is already small."

Yue Dewen sat in the chair representing the Daoist Sect, his hand touching the smooth mahogany tabletop.

"Now it feels much better."

"Now that things have come to this, everyone can see and guess your plan. But the five of us alone are not enough." Daoist Qing Yi lowered his eyes, his gaze half-open and half-closed, as if he were about to fall asleep.

"Black Ten and Heavenly Lock don't want to go crazy with you. They're only joining in because they're forced to," Master Yuan said sarcastically, twisting his round body.

"You don't actually think you can subdue someone by beating them up, do you?"

"Of course I never intended to do that, but the time has come, and I'm a little reluctant to let it slip by, so I'll give it a try," Yue Dewen said with a smile.

Knock knock knock.

Suddenly, a guard gently knocked on the door from the outside.

"There is a letter from the Great Dao Sect. Please take a look, Yue Sect Leader."

"Bring it in," Yue Dewen said lazily.

Soon, a crack appeared in the door, and someone slipped a red letter through it.

Yue Dewen waved his hand, creating a gust of air that precisely lifted the letter, causing it to fall into his hand.

He tore open the letter and quickly scanned it.

Immediately, his expression changed slightly, and the smile he had just worn slowly disappeared.

"It seems some people still don't believe in superstitions." He crushed the Letter Paper into pieces.

"Is it about your precious disciple? I'm not trying to be mean, but your disciple is really good at causing trouble. Look, he even managed to uncover the so-called secret of restraining the Worship God." Master Yuan's eyes darted around as he continued in a sarcastic tone.

"I've also received news. It seems that the great secret left behind is very likely true," Daoist Qing Yi chimed in from the side.

"Even if it were true, it couldn't possibly be in the hands of my apprentice!" Yue Dewen said decisively.

He looked up at the two of them.

"Gentlemen, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want."

"What? You want to fight me?" Master Yuan laughed sharply. "May Buddha have mercy, I just don't want to mess with you for now! If we really fight, hehe."

"Look at you two, you don't act like leaders of a sect at all," said Daoist Qing Yi calmly.

His gaze fell on Yue Dewen.

"If he really is your disciple, what will you do?"

Mastering the secret to restraining one's Worship God is a matter that can be both important and trivial.

There have been precedents before, but none have been as serious as this one.

The recent series of deaths during Worship God were not the result of the previous futile and repeated killing methods, but rather a unique new method.

Yue Dewen remained silent for a moment.

"Whether it is or not, the final result can only be 'no'."

Daoist Qing Yi raised an eyebrow but said nothing more.

Instead, Master Yuan burst into sharp laughter once again.

"Lao Yue, you've been too clever for your own good, but you still couldn't control your disciple. You arranged for Grandmasters to be his bodyguards and Great Grandmaster to protect him at all times, but he still couldn't withstand your disciple's antics."

"If it were me, I'd probably want to kill this kind of disciple long ago. He's always causing trouble and making a mess of things," he shrieked.

The three people present had all lived through that cruel era, so they were no longer interested in things like 'the secret of restraining Worship God '.

Daoist Scripture similar news countless times throughout their long history of over a hundred years.

Even they themselves have used this method to frame their opponents in the past.

Don't get too familiar with these kinds of tactics.

Yue Dewen glanced at his two old rivals.

His goal from the very beginning was to seize the position of the state religion.

However, this position has always been secretly controlled by the Spirit Flight Teaching.

The Spirit Flight Teaching, also known as the Flying Spirit Teaching, is called by many different names, but as long as it contains the words "Ling" and "Fei," it must refer to the One God Sect that reveres Spirit Flight Heaven as a deity.

It is also the massive supporting force behind the entire Ling Ting today.

The core military force of the Divine General and the great Noble, and the support behind them, are all from the Spirit Flight Teaching.

Many of the generals in the army Worship God also worshipped Spirit Flight Heaven.

Essentially, this path is very difficult, extremely difficult.

But Yue Dewen has now gained the upper hand, having gathered all forces dissatisfied with the Spirit Flight Teaching.

Why did so many sects still join his alliance after being conquered?

This is because the Spirit Flight Teaching oppressed them more and for longer.

"This was probably caused by those miscellaneous sects who were unwilling to join us before. However, their willingness to remain subservient forever goes against the general trend," Yue Dewen said casually.

"The Secret Teaching Re-recording drove them to take desperate measures, leading to their final madness. In the end, they were even used by others." He saw everything clearly.

The Great Dao Sect Eastern Sect back then, but failed. That was because the Imperial Tutor's power was too weak; only he himself was considered strong. Even with His Majesty's secret cooperation, it was useless. Unfortunately, things are different now. "Through the Rebel Alliance, we have also secretly replaced and eliminated many of the Spirit Flight Teaching's core members. Now, it's time for the largest Noble to take over."

Among the great Noble, who is the most powerful?

Naturally, it refers to the Six Kings.

The problem has been solved with Zhen Ding Wang.

The next Five Kings were representatives of the great Noble.

"So, you secretly sent people to plot and cooperate with the Rebel Alliance Against Reverse Time Society to cause trouble everywhere? What a clever tactic." Daoist Qing Yi chuckled a few times.

Yue Dewen responded with a smile.

"Isn't this killing several birds with one stone? It weakens the Rebel Alliance, consolidates the Imperial Court's rule, achieves my own goals, and also helps to eliminate the hidden forces of the Remnant God Secret Teaching."

Just as Daoist Qing Yi was about to speak, his expression suddenly changed, and he quickly took a Token from his waist.

The Token had more than ten colored lines of different hues.

At this moment, one of the lines is slowly losing all its color.

"Something has happened to the Special Envoy Team!" he said solemnly.

Now that Taiji Palace is closed off, few of its masters remain. It's a case of every death diminishing its strength.

And yet this kind of thing still happened! "The Special Envoy Team was led by Zhou Yan, how could something like this happen? Could it be the Jade Void Palace?" Master Yuan asked in surprise.

Although he sent Yuan Cheng over, the various factions within the True Buddha Temple were vying for power and engaged in fierce internal strife. Even if something happened, there were plenty of replacements available, so he didn't care.

This is related to the system of absorbing military force.

On the contrary, Yue Dewen frowned.

The Special Envoy Team was First Squad top experts assembled to investigate Zhang Ying's true situation.

With Great Grandmaster Zhou Yan leading the way, and now that the Special Envoy Team has encountered trouble, what's the situation with Zhou Yan Zhang Ying?

Thinking of this, he immediately couldn't sit still.

He immediately stood up, tapped his toes, and quickly left Assembled Sages Institute through the door.

This was originally supposed to be a time for the three of them to exchange ideas.

But he couldn't care less about anything else.

If the future development of the Great Dao Sect is his ambition for the future.

Therefore, Zhang Ying's existence is his safety net for the future.

As he made his breakthrough, he was able to be completely carefree because of Zhang Ying's presence.

Now that the Special Envoy Team has run into trouble, he has a bad feeling.

Zhang Rongfang sat cross-legged in the Quiet Room.

Three days have passed since Zhou Yan was killed.

Within three days, the news must have spread by now, and Master Yue in Great Capital probably already know.

He originally didn't intend to expose it.

Unfortunately, to advance in martial arts to the level of a grandmaster, one must cultivate an indomitable will and a spirit of self-improvement.

Di Jiang showed him through his actions just how powerful the ultimate martial arts could be.

Therefore, he was determined to make up for his shortcomings.

Break through to Grandmaster!

He has now broken up all the members of the Rebel Sect into smaller groups. The next step is to abandon the fixed stronghold of the Aloeswood Manor and replace it with other scattered and hidden locations.

He himself has now moved to a secluded mountain forest far from the city.

Official positions are no longer of much significance at his level.

No God Worshipping, you won't be influenced or controlled by Gods and Buddhas, and you won't care about popular support such as missionary forces or armies.

From beginning to end, he had only one goal in mind.

That is inner An Ning.

And now.

"No." Zhang Rongfang opened his eyes and sighed softly.

"Master Yue has treated me well, and I cannot reciprocate; otherwise, I will be uneasy."

I've accumulated eleven Attribute Points over the past few days.

But when applied to martial arts, it still feels like something's missing.

"Your mental will is strong enough, but it lacks a bit of cohesion."

There was another person sitting opposite the Quiet Room.

She was dressed in a white dress, petite and delicate, with a proud bust. Although she had a cute face, she exuded a surprising aloofness.

It was none other than the Heavenly Maiden Tong Zhang.

On the very night he left Qingchuan Prefecture, Di Jiang brought him here to this Mountain Villa.

They also met the Heavenly Maiden Tong Zhang had always lived here.

Besides them, there was another person who also came here.

"The conditions for Essence, Qi, and Spirit, and vitality are all met. However, the spirit is a bit scattered, which is related to the different ways people pursue a more focused state."

At the entrance of the Quiet Room, Ran Xin Yue slowly approached. Her long hair reached her waist, and her body was faintly damp and fragrant, indicating that she had just finished bathing.

She wore a green dress, and although she had a flat chest, her hips and legs were prominent. The white stockings covering her legs complemented the color of the dress, making her skin appear even whiter.

Entering the Quiet Room, she slowly knelt down beside Zhang Rongfang and Tong Zhang, head held high and chest out.

"The Buddhist School say that this is because one's worldly ties have not yet been severed."

"The Daoist Sect says this is because the mind and thoughts have not been extinguished."

"Since what you seek is a unified focus, it is inner An Ning."

"Only by thoroughly dealing with all the troubles can one truly focus one's mind," Ran Xin Yue replied.

"Can I ask you how you did it back then?" Zhang Rongfang asked.

"I'm different. When I set up the arena, I established the rules: only experts of similar age and gender as me, who don't use weapons, could step onto the stage. After a hundred days of continuous battles, I successfully forged my will to improve and stepped into the Grandmaster realm," Ran Xin Yue said with a hint of pride.

Of course, she wouldn't mention that the place where she set up the arena was a small town.

Moreover, there was no advertising at all; they just put up a sign on the platform.

One hundred days allowed her to truly realize the vast difference between herself and the martial artists in the town.
