The truth behind "eighteen, pure and charming"
Southern Region.
Dongfang Clan.
Everyone stared at the photo stone on the table, their expressions complex.
"I didn't expect that it really wasn't something the Cloud Heaven Holy Land did intentionally."
"The array plate left behind by the Saint King Chen Fangyuan, the Transcendent Fruit rarely seen in the world, and the legacy of that powerful predecessor named Qi Zhan —each of these is extraordinary, yet they have appeared in the Eastern Region."
The scene captured on the photographic stone is crystal clear.
And the more this is the case, the more unsettled they become.
It's worth noting that initially, some of them intended to get involved.
However, they later realized it was unlikely, and that it was more likely that the Cloud Heaven Holy Land had orchestrated the whole thing, so they gave up on it.
But now it seems that this is clearly not the case.
"Not long ago, the Heavenly Azure Ruins were just revealed, and in such a short time, another treasure of heaven and earth Transcendent Fruit, has appeared."
Dongfang Jun looked out, his gaze deep and thoughtful.
"Judging from the actions of the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty last time, I'm afraid even more treasures will appear in various parts of the world in the future."
Upon hearing this, all the elders' gazes sharpened.
"What does the head of the family mean?"
Dongfang Jun's gaze shifted, turning to another direction.
"My Dongfang Clan has been trapped in the Southern Region for many years. In terms of territory, we are at a disadvantage no matter what. However, in terms of location, we still have a slight advantage."
Upon hearing this, someone's face showed a knowing expression, and they said:
"Vast Heaven Sect?"
Dongfang Jun nodded:
"The cooperation between the Azure Cloud Sect and the Cloud Heaven Holy Land has set a precedent, and my Dongfang Clan can certainly follow suit."
"Send someone to the Vast Heaven Sect to discuss cooperation matters."
Three times in a row, the benefits were missed.
This time, we must seize this opportunity!
Western Region.
A sacred Buddhist Order.
The abbot slowly withdrew his gaze from the table.
On it are numerous jade talismans recording information, as well as a photo stone.
After asking the monks present a few questions, the abbot looked eastward and slowly spoke:
"In this world today, calamities and disasters frequently occur in the Eastern Region. Our Buddhist Order cannot stand idly by."
"Quickly send those who are going to other regions to the Eastern Region, and bring the Buddhist teachings of the Western Land to the Eastern Region."
Upon hearing this, the monks nodded in agreement.
Then, the abbot said again:
"How is Aid the Azure Gate?"
"Reporting to the Abbot," a powerful monk stepped forward, "It's still under consideration."
The abbot nodded slightly and said:
"We invited him here, hoping he would impart the Buddhist Order teachings to Jishi."
Two days later.
Another piece of news has sparked heated discussions in the Eastern Region.
The Flower Spirit Sect released a statement saying...
After a period of discussion, the Flower Spirit Sect has agreed to send Mu Jiaojiao of the Flower Spirit Sect to marry Lu Changzhi of the Five Symbols Sect.
This news immediately attracted attention from all sides.
"I never expected a marriage alliance to take place at this time. But who is this Mu Jiaojiao from the Flower Spirit Sect? I don't think I've ever heard of her before?"
"I've heard that Mu Jiaojiao is a genius that the Flower Spirit Sect has been secretly cultivating for many years. I wonder if it's true or not. I remember last time with Liu Qingyan, they also said they'd been cultivating her for many years."
"However, at this time, the Flower Spirit Sect and the Five Symbols Sect are forming a marriage alliance. Could it be that they are also preparing to form an alliance? Both of these forces are located next to the Azure Cloud Sect. It's just unclear whose intentions are these."
"It's probably the Five Symbols Sect. After all, their power was severely damaged by that demon who infiltrated the sect last time, and they probably haven't even recovered yet. They're definitely more worried."
Amidst the heated discussions, all eyes turned to the two opposing forces.
The Azure Cloud Sect and the Five Symbols Sect.
However, there has been no immediate response to the news.
Everyone is waiting to see.
On Hidden Origin Peak.
"The sect leader isn't here for dinner, is he?"
Lu Changzhi walked out of the house and asked with a smile.
"Of course not." Cang Wenyu smiled, tossed over a jade talisman, and said:
"Look, some good news that concerns you, kid."
"Happy event?"
Lu Changzhi raised an eyebrow, took the jade talisman, and probed into it.
His expression quickly turned strange.
"Are you serious?"
The marriage is arranged with Mu Jiaojiao the Flower Spirit Sect. She is eighteen years old, pure and lovely, and comes with a lifelike portrait.
At that moment, a flash of light appeared, and a selection page appeared before Lu Changzhi's eyes:
A woman from the Flower Spirit Sect wishes to marry you. What do you choose?
"I. I gladly accept. [Reward: Saint Rank Peak Grade cultivation technique - Passionate Dual Cultivation Art *1.]"
"II. No response. [Reward: Saint Rank Peak Grade item - Soundless Soul Bell *1.]"
"Third, make her get lost. [Reward: Saint Rank Treasure - Water-Averting Treasure Pearl *1]"
[Passionate Dual Cultivation Art]: Saint Rank Peak Grade cultivation method. It offers immense benefits to both the practitioner and the practitioner, containing sixty-four different cultivation postures to alleviate the monotony of cultivation and ensure a constantly fresh and engaging experience...
[Soundless Soul Bell]: Saint Rank Peak Grade item. Crafted from special materials, it unleashes a soul attack when activated. Though silent, it can cause dizziness, as if struck by lightning, if the target is weak...
[Water-Averting Treasure Pearl]: Saint Rank Secret Treasure. It contains a wisp of the Origin of Water. Activating it protects the user from water damage. It has a strong restraining effect on water-based spells, martial arts, and talismans, and also possesses some restraining effect on ice and snow-related techniques...
Lu Changzhi was not too surprised by this choice.
"To be honest, this first option is actually quite thoughtful."
We'll provide a complimentary dual cultivation method if you agree.
However, he didn't linger on that for long, instead looking at the other two options.
In comparison, the secret treasure is certainly more attractive.
Seeing that Lu Changzhi had been watching for so long, Cang Wenyu's expression changed slightly.
Just as he was about to ask, Lu Changzhi spoke up, saying:
"Sect Leader, what kind of trouble are you causing now?"
Upon hearing this, Cang Wenyu smiled mysteriously and lowered his voice, saying:
"Does Mu Jiaojiao have something on her mind?"
Lu Changzhi looked at Cang Wenyu with a strange expression:
"Sect Leader, do you want to play matchmaker?"
Xu Kun smiled and shook his head, then handed over another jade talisman.
There is more information in this.
Mu Jiaojiao, whose real name Chen Fangfang, is an elder of the Flower Spirit Sect. She is skilled in makeup and is over 530 years old...
Lu Changzhi's lips twitched involuntarily.
To marry an old hag to oneself?
The Flower Spirit Sect has gone a bit too far.
Seeing this, Cang Wenyu smiled and asked:
"What are your plans regarding this matter, Changzhi?"
Setting down the jade talisman, Lu Changzhi took a deep breath and said:
"Get them away from here."
Cang Wenyu laughed and said:
"Then let's do it your way."
After chatting for a few more minutes, Cang Wenyu got up and left.
Shortly afterward, all parties received the news.
The Five Symbols Sect responded to the marriage proposal.
He said that the Flower Spirit Sect should get as far away as possible.
At the same time, it was pointed out that neither side had ever mentioned the marriage alliance, and that it was all fabricated by the Flower Spirit Sect.
At the same time, it points out the ulterior motives of the Flower Spirit Sect and accuses them of sowing Flower Spirit Sect and trying to plunge the people of the Eastern Region into danger.
