Chapter 166
White Jade Island.
Yuan Yang's divine figure descended gracefully.
Countless disciples of the White Jade Pavilion were filled with excitement. Just now, they had all thought they were undoubtedly doomed. That terrifying mirror light pierced through the heavens and the earth, but it was easily blocked by the island lord.
Especially their own island lord, who eventually transformed into an immense giant of unknown height, with just one hand completely covering the entire White Jade Island.
Such divine techniques, even those Void Refinement Stage Cultivators, couldn't achieve, right?
"That mirror light, should it be the Taihao Mirror of the Daoist Immortal Sect?"
"Our island lord, blocked an attack from the Taihao Mirror? Doesn't that mean, the island lord is already an Ancient Sage?"
"Nonsense, it's more than just an Ancient Sage! That Taihao Mirror is the Daoist Immortal Sect's town's treasure. Under the Taihao Mirror, who dares to resist? Our island lord's strength is simply..."
Over the past hundred years, the White Jade Pavilion had become the most powerful force in the East Sea. The disciples of the White Jade Pavilion were well-informed and immediately deduced that the mirror light descending from the Ninth Heaven most likely originated from the legendary treasure, the Taihao Mirror.
Lin Yuan glanced at the many fervent disciples of the White Jade Pavilion and directly returned to the core area's cave.
"Master."
Li Qing and other disciples who had been accepted by Lin Yuan immediately bowed respectfully.
Under Lin Yuan's occasional guidance and the favorable cultivation environment of White Jade Island, disciples like Li Qing were either at the Fourth or Fifth Rank of martial arts.
Comparable to the Daoist Immortal Sect's Nascent Souls and Divine Transformation cultivators.
The ordinary disciples outside only saw Lin Yuan's remarkable feat of blocking the attack capable of wiping out White Jade Island with just a divine manifestation.
But disciples like Li Qing, with strong strength and high cultivation realms, keenly felt how terrifying the immense giant formed by Lin Yuan truly was.
And what it meant to be able to directly block an attack from the Taihao Mirror.
"Master... Master is so powerful."
Li Qing and other disciples trembled in awe. They had spent over a hundred years practicing under Lin Yuan's guidance and had realized that their master's strength was unfathomable, perhaps approaching the level of an Ancient Sage.
As for blocking the attack of the strongest Ancient Sage in the world just now, and ultimately making the prestigious Sect Master of the Daoist Immortal Sect retreat voluntarily, it was simply unbelievable.
"Perfect, there's something I need to discuss."
Lin Yuan looked at the thirty or forty disciples he had accepted over the years.
These disciples were all excellent candidates for practicing the martial arts evolutionary system and would be crucial in carrying forward the inheritance of the martial arts evolutionary system after Lin Yuan left this realm.
"Master, please speak."
"Master, please speak."
Li Qing and other disciples immediately respectfully said.
"Go and unify the Eastern Sea."
Lin Yuan calmly spoke.
Although the White Jade Pavilion had become the most powerful force in the Eastern Sea over the past hundred years, it had not taken action against other sects.
Not because it couldn't.
But out of concern for attracting the attention of the Daoist Immortal Sect.
But now, there was no need for such concerns.
Lin Yuan's strength was already invincible in the world. If it weren't for that Taihao Mirror, just relying on a Yin and Yang divine manifestation could sweep across this realm.
"Unify the islands of the Eastern Sea."
Li Qing and other disciples were shaken.
Lin Yuan lowered his gaze, looking towards the direction of the Central Divine Continent, "In this world, there is not only the path of immortality. My path of martial arts should also step out."
Mangya Mountain.
In every corner of the surrounding area, there were Celestial Lords guarding at the Divine Transformation Stage.
Jun Dongjin, as a former high-ranking member of the Daoist Immortal Sect, even had hopes of contending for the position of Sect Master.
Even though he had been abandoned now and transferred to the remote Mangya Mountain, there were still Divine Transformation cultivators from the sect specially assigned to protect him.
In fact, it was more like 'surveillance' than protection.
Jun Dongjin was aware of many secrets of the Daoist Immortal Sect. If he ran away or was influenced by the Blood Demon Sea, the Underworld Palace, or the Demonic Saint's Nest, it wouldn't be good for the Daoist Immortal Sect.
In a cave several miles away from Mangya Mountain.
Two Divine Transformation cultivators sat cross-legged.
"We're also Celestial Lords, but we've been assigned to such a remote place." The thin man on the left sighed.
Even the Divine Transformation stage Celestial Lords, who could be considered high-ranking cultivators even within the Daoist Immortal Sect, could enjoy the spiritual veins of the Daoist Immortal Mountain, greatly aiding their cultivation.
However, now they were in the vicinity of Mangya Mountain, where there was spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but it was far inferior to the natural energy of the Immortal Mountain.
"Even Lord Jun Dongjin is here, why are you complaining?" The round-faced Celestial Lord on the right glanced at the thin man.
"I'm not complaining, just feeling that the Sect Master's decision is a bit unfeeling. It's one thing to suppress Lord Jun Dongjin, but why bring his daughter and grandson here as well?"
"The Sect Master's decision naturally has the Sect Master's considerations," said the round-faced Celestial Lord, shaking his head.
"Do you think there will be a day when Lord Jun Dongjin can return to the Daoist Immortal Mountain?" The thin man couldn't help but ask.
"I don't know."
"It depends on what Master Mu Mengting thinks."
The round-faced Celestial Lord pondered for a moment before replying.
The current situation of the Daoist Immortal Sect was already very clear. Mu Mengting was designated as the next Sect Master.
"That's it then."
The thin man suddenly felt a headache.
Although it was inappropriate to discuss the future Sect Master Mu Mengting, Mengting's vindictive character was no secret.
Perhaps when Mengting reached the Void Refinement Stage, became an Ancient Sage, and became the Sect Master, things would be different, and his character might change, but it was only a possibility.
"It's fortunate for Lord Jun Dongjin's youngest son, Jun Wuji, to be able to stay in the Cloud Mist Blessed Land and enjoy himself while his whole family has been transferred here."
The thin man couldn't help but sigh, "Sometimes, being weak is also a blessing."
The reason why Jun Wuji could still stay in the Cloud Mist Blessed Land was simply because in the eyes of Mu Mengting, this person was not a threat.
He didn't even have a trace of presence.
So he managed to escape this calamity.
As an Ancient Sage, Mu Qingliu's memory was extremely clear. He was very sure that he had only mentioned cooperation with Island Master.
He only said to others that he was discussing important matters with a fellow Daoist.
There were many possibilities for discussing important matters, not just cooperation.
But now, Jun Wuji asked him 'what to cooperate with'?
"Wuji... you?"
A faint outline of an Immortal Mirror reflected in Mu Qingliu's pupils.
In just an instant, Mu Qingliu activated dozens, even hundreds, of secret techniques, wanting to see through the bottom of his grandson.
But he couldn't.
The impact of the sentence 'What do you want to cooperate with me on' on Mu Qingliu was too great.
Even if it was just Jun Wuji bluffing, Mu Qingliu would still check repeatedly.
Buzz!!
Mu Qingliu suddenly closed his eyes, as if he saw surging blood and rolling red clouds. Inside Jun Wuji's body, there was a kind of extremely terrifying power that blocked all his probing secret techniques.
"Who, who are you?"
Silently, a ancient mirror emitting immortal light floated above Mu Qingliu's head. The pressure Jun Wuji gave him was too great, so much so that he instinctively activated the Ta Hao Immortal Mirror to protect himself.
"Grandfather."
"I am Jun Wuji."
"And."
"The Island Master of the White Jade Islands."
Lin Yuan's expression remained calm. Since he had decided to reveal himself, he didn't bother to conceal his identity anymore. Mainly because his current strength made him fearless, even against the Sect Master of the Daoist Immortal Sect wielding immortal treasures, he couldn't threaten him.
"You?!"
Mu Qingliu's face changed constantly.
At this moment, he even suspected whether his grandson had been possessed by the Island Master of the White Jade Islands with great power.
However, the method of possession had many restrictions, and with his strength, if Jun Wuji had truly been possessed, he would have sensed something was amiss.
But there wasn't.
His grandson's soul aura had been unchanged from beginning to end.
"The Island Master of the White Jade Islands."
Mu Qingliu looked towards the direction of the Eastern Sea, and vaguely, a breath like that of a great sun rose, responding to Jun Wuji in front of him.
"Impressive."
After a long time, Mu Qingliu gradually regained his calm expression.
"I never thought that in the Daoist Immortal Sect, for tens of thousands of years, there would emerge such a genius like you."
At this point, even if it was unbelievable, the facts were laid out in front of him, and he could only believe that the Jun Wuji before him was indeed his low-profile grandson.
When the most unimaginable possibility came true, many doubts in Mu Qingliu's mind gradually became clear.
For example, when the Island Master of the White Jade Islands first appeared, it was in the Black Veil Archipelago.
At that time, his grandson was congratulating him for his success in the Ceremony.
At that time, Mu Mengting was reporting to him about the Black Veil Archipelago.
"I want to cooperate with you. To neutralize the Ghost Palace and the Blood Demon Sea."
Mu Qingliu looked at Jun Wuji, who had become unfamiliar, and said softly.
At this moment, he had completely placed his grandson on the same level as himself, even his tone was one of negotiation.
"No problem."
Lin Yuan said indifferently.
He had no good feelings towards the Ghost Palace, the Blood Demon Sea, or even the Demonic Saint's Nest. Even if Mu Qingliu didn't say it now, he would plan to eradicate them in the future.
"Then."
Mu Qingliu breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "What are your conditions?"
As long as he could solve the Daoist Immortal Sect's tens of thousands of years of hidden troubles in one fell swoop, Mu Qingliu was willing to pay a sufficiently large price.
Therefore.
Even if Lin Yuan made outrageous demands, Mu Qingliu would ultimately agree.
After all, Lin Yuan was also his grandson.
Even if he gained many benefits from the Daoist Immortal Sect.
It could be considered as falling into the hands of his own people.
It made sense not to let the fat water flow into someone else's field.
"Three conditions."
Lin Yuan spoke.
"First, I want the complete Daoist Immortal Scripture."
The Daoist Immortal Scripture was the Sect's highest-level technique, involving the essence of the post-Enlightenment period and the Unity period.
Throughout the Daoist Immortal Sect, only the Sect Master could cultivate this scripture, and even Jun Dongjin had never studied it.
As the third generation of immortals in the Daoist Immortal Sect, Jun Xiaoyao secretly brought many of the Sect's secret techniques out to give to Lin Yuan.
But the Daoist Immortal Scripture was beyond his capabilities to bring out.
Throughout the Daoist Immortal Sect, apart from the Sect Master, no one knew where this scripture was hidden, let alone how to access it or bring it out.
"No problem."
Mu Qingliu thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
