By the Taiyuan Pond, the misty cloud vapors surged, and Qing Yu sat cross-legged on the giant rock, one hand supporting his knee, seemingly lost in thought.
It is now basically confirmed that the Supreme Taoist will not take action. Thus, within the Taoist sect, no one is a match for Qing Yu.
Even though Xuanzhen holds the title of Supreme Daoist, his strength is insufficient, and he still poses no threat to Qing Yu. If he doesn't make an appearance, that's one thing, but if he does, he will surely be beaten.
What truly warrants attention is indeed only that so-called external ally.
Qing Yu had a premonition that the difficulty of this meeting lay with this external ally. As a Master of Heavenly Mechanism, Qing Yu's premonitions were usually very accurate.
'It's a pity that nowadays, the heavenly mechanisms are so confused that I can hardly discern them. To think of observing the celestial phenomena and knowing the world's great affairs as in the past is impossible now. Fortunately, I am not as reliant on the Heavenly Mechanism Divination Skill as Elder Shiming, otherwise I'd be unable to take a step now.'
Qing Yu thought to himself.
The reason Elder Shiming was repeatedly calculated against was mainly due to his excessive reliance on the Heavenly Mechanism Divination Skill. If a person relies too much on something, their brain will rust.
"What are you thinking about?" asked Xuanzhen suddenly while combing Qing Yu's long hair.
"I am thinking about what kind of reliance that group has found that makes them dare to challenge me," Qing Yu chuckled lightly and said, "Led by Hermit Ku Cha, a group has emerged within the Taoist sect intending to oppose me and disrupt today's sect meeting."
"I do not care about these insignificant troubles, but Ku Cha seems to have found an external ally that intrigues me a bit."
"Elder Ku Cha, indeed?"
Xuanzhen twirled his white hair with his jade-like fingers and said, "He is a senior in the Taoist sect, of the same generation as my master, and holds a high reputation within the sect. If it's him, indeed he can unite those opposing."
After Dragon Tiger Mountain sealed its gates, apart from the Zhenwu Sect, all other sects and factions became fragmented. If Ku Cha hadn't stepped forward, these people might not even have the courage to face Qing Yu directly.
"Ultimately, this world speaks with strength, otherwise, no matter the fame, it will only become the renown of a corpse. Ku Cha might believe that the so-called external ally can resist me, but facts will eventually prove that the unity of the Taoist sect is the trend of the times; attempting to stop it is courting death."
Qing Yu gently raised his hand, in his palm were three lines, like palm lines, trembling slightly.
The three strands of Mystic Energy obtained from the phantom from the Zhenwu Jade were sealed in his right palm and refined day and night.
Initially, the Mystic Energy still had the power to resist, necessitating Qing Yu to practice frequently to suppress it. But as the Great Wisdom Space analyzed, Qing Yu gradually grasped the mysteries within the Mystic Energy, and the resistive force grew ever weaker.
By now, the Mystic Energy had almost lost its ability to resist, only waiting for the final step to be refined.
Qing Yu slowly clenched his fist, and suddenly True Power erupted in his palm, crushing the three strands of Mystic Energy fiercely. Then, True Qi surged up, completely devouring it.
'It's done.'
In his eyes, a cross-shaped Dao pattern flashed and disappeared. When Qing Yu opened his palm again, a mysterious and enigmatic Qi Mechanism appeared in his hand.
'The nameless is the beginning of heaven and earth; the named is the mother of all things; the mysterious upon mysterious, the door of all wonders.'
Bits of insight surged into his heart, even as a Supreme warrior at this time, he greatly benefited from it.
'The "Supreme Heaven Opening Scripture" is indeed the martial art of the Dao Ancestor; even a superficial mystery has allowed me to gain so much insight, very good.'
At this time, Xuanzhen finished combing Qing Yu's hair, placed the Zhenwu Crown on his head, and fetched an outer robe for Qing Yu to wear.
"The meeting is about to begin; you should make an appearance."
Qing Yu stood up, stretched his muscles, "Then, let's go outside."
"After today, the unity of the Taoist sect shall be achieved."
·························
At this moment, on the square in front of the Taiji Palace, Taoists gathered.
A total of several hundred Taoists were vaguely divided into three groups according to their respective stances.
The first group, led by the Chunyang Palace, was loyal to the Zhenwu Sect and swore allegiance to Qing Yu. This group was the largest in number; Qing Yu's previous battle achievements were quite intimidating, and many people knew the direction of the Taoist sect had changed, eagerly offering their loyalty to the new ruler.
The second group consisted of the various sects and factions that originally belonged to Dragon Tiger Mountain. Compared to the first group, their numbers were much smaller, but they also stood on the side of the Zhenwu Sect.
There are always few stubborn individuals; many people still know how to adapt to the circumstances, understanding that those who do not adapt to the changes of the times will eventually be abandoned by them.
These were people who pledged their allegiance to Qing Yu, also staying close to the first group.
The third group was the opposition. This group was the smallest, with less than fifty people, but their momentum was the strongest, harboring killing intent beneath a vigorous presence.
But to harbor murderous intent within the Zhenwu Sect's domain, they seemed to underestimate the Zhenwu Sect.
"Hmph!"
An old Taoist walked out from the Taiji Palace, snorted coldly, and his overwhelming aura pressed toward the opposition, his cold gaze making many who directly looked at the Taiji Palace feel a pang of fear and involuntarily looked away.
"Hehe, Daoist Tong Hua, bullying the young is unbecoming of you."
Ku Cha slightly stepped forward, like a towering tree, blocking all the wind and rain, sheltering everyone.
"You all came here today, you should already be prepared."
Tong Hua's gaze was deep, like two deep wells leading to unknown places, "You say I bully the young, but at this moment, they still have the chance to retreat. Once my young master appears, they won't have this chance."
"We came here today, ready to become martyrs for the Dao, retreating is impossible." Daoist Bai Yun boldly stepped out from under Ku Cha's protection and shouted.
"Futile words." From the Chunyang Palace side, the young palace master sneered at these words.
"Yun Zheng, what did you say?"
Daoist Bai Yun was furious and was about to step forward, but Ku Cha timely grabbed him, sternly meeting his eyes and slowly shaking his head.
There was leeway in momentum confrontation, but once hands were exchanged, there would be no vitality. Right now, Qing Yu had not yet appeared; if they were to act, it shouldn't be now, nor should they initiate.
"Yun Zheng, you dog lackey, just wait for us." Daoist Bai Yun held back his impulse but still cursed loudly to vent his anger.
Faced with Qing Yu, the Supreme warrior, Daoist Bai Yun, albeit unwilling to admit it, was undoubtedly extremely nervous.
Though Qing Yu had not yet made an appearance, his aura that dominated the Heavenly Vault and oppressed the world was always unmasked. Even though the distance seemed far apart, it still made one feel timid from the heart.
The difference was too great, not only in strength but in the echelon of life as well.
The gap between the True Pill Realm and the Supreme ensures that Bai Yun and others inevitably felt fear, and only by using anger could they suppress the trembling instinct.
