Zhao Gongming's temperament was vastly different from that of the Sanxiao.
He preferred making friends with fellow cultivators and was extremely well-liked within the Jie Sect, able to get along with many of his fellow disciples.
After the War between the Wu and Yao clans ended, the various religions also lifted their restrictions on disciples traveling abroad.
Large numbers of Jie Sect disciples left the East Sea and set foot upon the Honghuang Continent. Zhao Gongming was naturally among them.
Within Luofu Cave on Emei Mountain, he established a Daoist arena of his own;
he frequently traveled between the East Sea and the Honghuang Continent, making connections with fellow cultivators as his reputation gradually rose.
This time, the four siblings had gathered on the Three Immortal Islands because Tongtian had lectured on the Dao some time ago.
After the lecture ended and the many disciples dispersed, the four of them returned together to the place where they had taken form;
taking advantage of the rare peace and quiet to exchange their insights on cultivation.
Saint Mother Jin Ling's call was swiftly spread throughout the sect through the Jie Sect's unique secret technique for transmitting messages.
Sanxiao and Zhao Gongming soon received the news.
Clouds let out a soft sigh, hidden worry between her brows:
"Alas, there have been no small number of disturbances within the Jie Sect lately.
First, Senior Brother Duobao stirred up many disciples to spread the Dharma aggressively;
then Senior Sister Jin Ling called for disciples to go to the Heavenly Court.
All they seek is to contend with the Chan Sect and Literary Sect for superiority."
She paused, glancing sideways at Zhao Gongming with concern:
"Big Brother, you travel abroad often, so you must be extra careful."
"Hm? What do I need to be careful about?"
