The Tianlian Sect was arranged in Lingxi Valley. The whole valley was very spacious and quiet, with a deep pool in the center of the valley.
The wooden buildings in the valley are simple and clean, which is very suitable for Buddhist disciples.
When Xuan Ye brought Jin Xiang and the others back to Lingxi Valley, all the disciples of Tianlian Sect had been arranged.
Xuan Ye's room is in the temple next to the pond. He can see a pool of clear water by opening the window.
Everyone came to Xuan Ye's room, each with a gloomy face.
At this point, everyone stopped hiding their emotions. Only Jin Xiang looked calm, showing no emotion.
Many elders did not pay attention to Jin Xiang. Although Jin Xiang was extremely powerful, she was a junior in the Tianlian Sect and it was not her turn to speak.
An elder couldn't help but express his dissatisfaction: "First Master, why did you let Gao Xuan go!"
Another elder also said: "Jin Xiang's move just now was the best opportunity, why didn't he do it?"
Xuan Ye glanced at the two men and said, "Why are you doing this? Have you seen Gao Xuan's weakness?"
Both elders were a little unconvinced. One of them said, "No matter how strong Gao Xuan is, he is only as strong as Jin Xiang. If the chief monk had activated the Heavenly Lotus Treasure Mirror at that time, he would have been able to seal Gao Xuan."
Xuan Ye sneered: "So what if it can't be sealed?"
The elder was stunned: "How could it not be sealed? The Heavenly Lotus Treasure Mirror is an earthly artifact, even an earthly immortal can seal it."
"You are so powerful, I'll give you the Heavenly Lotus Treasure Mirror, go find Gao Xuan."
Xuan Ye really disliked these elders because they were not very capable and had many complaints.
The key is that they only know how to talk and can't get anything done if you ask them to do anything.
Sure enough, the elder showed some discomfort on his face: "The Heavenly Lotus Treasure Mirror is the most precious treasure of the first monk, how can this poor monk control it."
Xuan Ye was too lazy to explain. He waved his hand and said, "You all may go away. Be careful to control your disciples and do not provoke Gao Xuan."
Several elders were unwilling to give in. "So you're going to let Gao Xuan go just like that?"
"You won't avenge your fellow disciples in the Northern States?"
"Put this matter aside for now, and discuss it after fellow Taoists from other sects arrive."
Xuan Ye waved his sleeves and sent away all the elders, leaving only Jin Xiang.
Xuan Ye was silent for a while and asked Jin Xiang: "What do you think?"
“Unfathomable.”
Jin Xiang shook his head slightly: "Gao Xuan should have practiced secret techniques such as the Golden Body. I think his body is strong and not inferior to mine."
“It is true.”
Xuan Ye sighed. He had noticed something was wrong just now. Gao Xuan responded too calmly and didn't even use any magical weapons.
The moon-white gauze dress that rotated the five elements did not really exert its power.
Gao Xuan suppressed Jin Xiang with his own strength, but his other magical powers were not revealed.
It is conceivable that Gao Xuan must have a lot of power hidden. In this situation, it is not wise to go to Gao Xuan to fight to the death.
Xuan Ye was actually no longer interested in avenging his fellow disciples in the Northern Province. However, as the head of the Buddhist sect in the Eastern Province, he still had to give an explanation to other Buddhist sects.
Xuan Ye also had a headache. This matter was really troublesome.
He said to Jin Xiang, "The Dragon Elephant Sect has a treasure, the Dragon Elephant Pestle. This treasure can increase the strength of a cultivator tenfold. If you get this treasure, are you sure you can kill Gao Xuan?"
"Ten times the strength?"
Jin Xiang pondered. According to today's battle situation, if her strength increased tenfold, she would definitely be able to kill Gao Xuan.
The problem is, with so many restrictions in the Qingtian Realm's laws, how is it possible to directly increase the power tenfold
On the other hand, the Vajra Power King Sutra allowed her to control all her own power. If her power was suddenly increased tenfold, could her body and soul withstand such a powerful force
Jin Xiang has already stood at the pinnacle of the Qingtian Realm, and any further increase in strength would be a huge improvement.
A tenfold increase in strength was unimaginable to her, and she did not dare to make any promises to Xuan Ye.
Xuan Ye understood Jin Xiang's concerns. He said, "The Dragon Elephant Pestle is a sacred artifact passed down from the Buddha Court, and it has supreme power. Your body of the King of Vajra Power is enough to withstand the power of the Dragon Elephant Pestle.
"After all, it is a treasure of Buddhism. It will not harm your foundation. The main thing is whether you can control such a powerful force!"
Xuan Ye sighed as he spoke: "The Xuan Jing of the Dragon Elephant Sect is very stingy, he may not lend this treasure to us."
Although Xuan Ye is nominally the head of Buddhism, many sects respect him very much.
However, when it comes to the sect's most precious treasure, he, as the abbot, is not so useful.
Not to mention that different sects have different ideas, even within the Tianlian Sect, each elder is a faction of their own and they fight fiercely with each other.
Buddhism doesn't have many enemies in the Eastern States. Usually things go smoothly and everyone lives in harmony and happiness.
Only when trouble really occurs can we see the complexity of the internal relations of Buddhism. As the head monk, it is difficult for him to make everyone obedient.
These things are very complicated, but Jin Xiang is a genius who is devoted to practicing Taoism and he doesn't care about them.
Xuan Ye simply said a few words to Jin Xiang and let him go down to rest.
He sat alone in the quiet room, looking at the clear water outside the window, and thought of the East China Sea Dragon Clan again.
Ao Dongcheng is so patient and deep, he is even more patient than the old turtle. This is a more formidable enemy.
This guy is still alive, and it looks like he can live for another tens of thousands of years.
Seeking an alliance with the East China Sea Dragon Clan would be courting disaster.
Xuan Ye considered all the powerful people and various secret treasures of Buddhism, but he could not think of any way to defeat Gao Xuan. The more he thought about it, the more tired he became. He could only sigh...
He originally wanted Jin Xiang to win the first prize in this Tianlong Dharma Assembly and greatly enhance the prestige of Buddhism.
I didn't expect that I would suffer a severe setback at the hands of Gao Xuan as soon as I arrived at Tianlong Island.
The key is that he still can't think of a particularly reliable way to subdue Gao Xuan. This Heavenly Master looks easy to talk to, but his scheming is unfathomable.
He wanted to take action many times, but he never dared to act rashly because he couldn't see through Gao Xuan.
With Gao Xuan being the variable at this Tianlong Dharma Assembly, Xuan Ye has no way of controlling the situation.
However, Ao Dongcheng should be more uncomfortable. After all, it is his territory and he hosted the Tianlong Dharma Assembly.
Xuan Ye's mind turned, and he suddenly came up with an idea. He had to spread the news of Gao Xuan killing the third prince Ao Ming as soon as possible.
Once everyone knew about this, he didn't believe that Ao Dongcheng would be able to hold back? !
At the same time, Ao Jiuni returned to the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea and met Ao Dongcheng.
This time, Ao Dongcheng did not stay in the bedroom, but came to the main hall and sat high on the throne.
Ao Dongcheng was wearing gorgeous green armor, and the Green Thunder Star-Breaking Spear was standing next to the armrest of the throne.
Ao Dongcheng now has swept away his past decadence and looks murderous.
On both sides of the hall, there were also many powerful men from the East China Sea Dragon Court standing.
These strong men were specially summoned by Ao Dongcheng because Ao Jiuni brought important information, so he took the opportunity to call all the strong men over.
Ao Jiuni took a quick glance and saw his third uncle, sixth uncle, and Gui Tianji.
Gui Tianji is the number one master among the foreigners in the East China Sea Dragon Court. His original form is a black tortoise. After practicing for tens of thousands of years, he completely refined himself into the true form of Xuanwu Tianji, and thus changed his name to Gui Tianji.
In Ao Jiuni's heart, Gui Tianji was second only to his father. Although his third uncle and sixth uncle were strong, they were obviously inferior to Gui Tianji.
Seeing that Gui Tianji was also there, Ao Jiuni became a little more excited. This time his father was really going to settle the score with Gao Xuan!
Gui Tianji is less than six feet tall, which is considered tall among humans, but in the Dragon King Hall of the East China Sea, he is the shortest.
Gui Tianji had no hair, no eyebrows, and small eyes. He looked ordinary and even a little ugly. But he had broad shoulders and a thick back, and when he stood there, he had an aura of imposingness that could not be moved by anything.
Although the many powerful dragon warriors in the hall were arrogant, they did not dare to be rude to this person and took the initiative to greet him.
Even the Dragon King Ao Dongcheng took the initiative to chat with Gui Tianji.
The atmosphere in the hall was relatively relaxed, but every strong man knew that the Dragon King had called everyone here in a hurry this time, and he must have something big to do.
Ao Jiuni's third uncle Ao Ping suddenly raised his voice and said, "Brother, you called us all here to kill Gao Xuan, right?"
Ao Ping's name is Ping, but he never follows the rules and especially likes fighting and blood.
Whenever something happened in the Dragon Court of the East China Sea, Ao Ping always liked to be the first to rush forward and wipe out the entire enemy clan.
This time, Ao Ping was also practicing in the depths of the East China Sea. It was not until he had a casual conversation just now that he learned that Ao Ming was killed by Gao Xuan.
Ao Ping couldn't stand his temper anymore and asked Ao Dongcheng directly.
The many powerful men in the hall fell silent and looked at Ao Dongcheng.
These strong men all hated Ao Ming, but Ao Ming was the third prince of the East Sea Dragon Clan. No matter how hateful Ao Ming was, it was not the turn of outsiders to kill him.
Ao Ming was killed several years ago, and the Dragon King of the East China Sea has been strictly forbidding everyone to move rashly. This also made the arrogant Dragon Clan of the East China Sea very unhappy.
This time they finally had the chance to take action, and the many dragons couldn't help themselves.
Ao Dongcheng looked around and took in the expressions of the many dragons and subordinates.
Among the experts present, Gui Tianji was the calmest. The others were all a little bit manic.
Ao Dongcheng was disdainful in his heart. These guys relied on the dragon clan's magical powers to do whatever they wanted. In fact, they didn't have much ability, but they had developed a proud and irritable temperament.
Even the sixth brother Ao Zhan was like this. Although the power of Buddhism has been growing over the past few thousand years, it has not posed a real threat to the Dragon Court of the East China Sea.
Ao Ping, Ao Zhan and their ilk were not vigilant at all. They just treated the Eastern Province as their own territory and did whatever they wanted.
In fact, the East Sea Dragon Court has been in charge of the Eastern Province for hundreds of thousands of years, and its prestige and power have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. However, the major sects in the Eastern Province have long been full of resentment towards the Dragon Court.
Ao Dongcheng was well aware of this situation, so he did not dare to rashly seek revenge on Gao Xuan.
If they didn't take action, the major sects would at most laugh at them secretly. If they failed, the major sects would rush over and tear the East China Sea Dragon Court apart completely.
What’s funny is that among so many powerful people present, only Gui Tianji could realize this.
However, Gui Tianji is a foreigner after all. If the East Sea Dragon Court is really going to fall, it may not be a bad thing for Gui Tianji...
I'm afraid Ao Ping and Ao Zhan can't tell the pros and cons of this.
Some truths can be explained clearly, but some truths just can't be explained at all.
Ao Dongcheng was too lazy to educate them. As long as he didn't fall, he could naturally maintain the prosperity of the East China Sea Dragon Court. If he fell, he wouldn't be able to care so much.
Ao Dongcheng sighed in his heart, but his face was calm. He said, "I called everyone here today to discuss this matter."
Ao Ping said disapprovingly: "What is there to discuss? I'll just go and tear that guy's head off."
The other powerful dragon warriors all nodded and agreed with this.
What is there to worry about for a mere celestial master
Many powerful men did not take action because they thought Ao Dongcheng had some plan and were afraid of ruining the Dragon King's plan.
Ao Dongcheng said solemnly, "You have been sleeping for hundreds of years. How come your Taoism has greatly improved? How about you become the Dragon King?"
Ao Ping was speechless after hearing this sentence. He was nominally Ao Dongcheng's third brother, but in fact he was tens of thousands years younger than him.
Ao Ping was scared to the core of this elder brother.
Ao Zhan said softly, "Don't be angry, big brother. Third brother is also anxious to take revenge. I don't know the reason."
Ao Dongcheng glanced at Ao Ping and then said, "Gao Xuan is very powerful. I used the Destiny Mirror to calculate his fate, but I couldn't get any results."
When many powerful people heard this, they were all shocked.
The Mirror of Destiny is a magical artifact used by the Dragon Court of the East China Sea to suppress destiny. It can predict the past and the future, and rarely fails to predict correctly.
It is very difficult to predict a creature's future. The stronger the creature, the more complicated its fate line. However, it is very easy to predict a creature's past.
The fact that the Destiny Mirror cannot see Gao Xuan's past is enough to show how terrifying Gao Xuan is.
Ao Dongcheng said to Ao Jiuni: "Tell me what happened..."
Ao Jiuni bowed respectfully and responded. He walked to the center of the hall and opened a huge water mirror, which showed the scene of Gao Xuan killing Ao Ming and Ao Shibi.
This is the memory in his soul, which can be extracted through the Destiny Mirror and can truthfully present the scene at that time.
Including the scene of Gao Xuan and Jin Xiang fighting, everything was presented on the water mirror.
The sword that Gao Xuan used to kill Ao Ming and the others was so sharp that many powerful men didn't pay much attention to it.
However, Gao Xuan and Jin Xiang fought each other, and Gao Xuan defeated Jin Xiang with three palms. The powerful and endless palm power shocked all the strong men.
There is no doubt that Jin Xiang's tyrannical strength has reached the peak of this world.
Although many powerful people present were confident, no one dared to say that they could compete with Jin Xiang in terms of strength.
Although Gao Xuan's palm power has more variations and is more complex, fundamentally speaking, his power is stronger than Jin Xiang.
Not to mention anything else, just Gao Xuan's three palms, none of the many strong men present dared to say that they could take them.
Realizing how powerful Gao Xuan was, Ao Ping, who had been shouting the loudest, fell silent.
Ao Dongcheng was quite satisfied with the attitudes of the many powerful people. At least he could judge their strengths and weaknesses and he was not completely stupid.
Ao Dongcheng asked: "Do you have any way to deal with it?"
Many powerful men either lowered their heads, or looked around, or looked up in deep thought. There was an eerie silence in the hall.
Ao Dongcheng sneered. These people only bully the weak. They are at a loss when they encounter a strong enemy.
He looked at Gui Tianji: "Tianji, what do you think?"
Gui Tianji pondered for a moment and bowed his hands, saying, "Your Majesty, Gao Xuan is unfathomable. I think we should not rush in. I heard that Gao Xuan and the Buddhist sect have a lot of grudges. Why not spread the word and provoke them to take action?"
He paused and said, "Xuan Ye is very ambitious and wants to unify Buddhism. As long as we push him forward from behind, he will have no way to retreat."
Ao Dongcheng nodded in approval: "This method is very good."
He said to the other dragons: "You should all learn from Tianji and use your brains!"
The expressions of many dragons were a bit complicated, but no one dared to be rude in front of Gui Tianji.
Ao Dongcheng added: "In addition to this, we must continue to help Gao Xuan build momentum and brag about him everywhere. Just say that he is the strongest person in the Qingtian Realm."
Many powerful people were puzzled. Why did Ao Dongcheng brag about his enemy
Ao Dongcheng smiled proudly: "The human race is the most vain, and they want to be the best in everything. Just the title of the strongest is enough to make Gao Xuan the enemy of all cultivators.
"For this Tianlong Dharma Assembly, we just need to watch the fun..."
