[Three Updates, Vote!] 475: Chapter 169: Second Spirit Evolution Inviting Heavenly Retribution!

[Three Updates, Vote!] Wanyun Sect, Castcloud Hall.

“Dazhi, come to the main peak for a visit.”

Li Dazhi awoke from his meditation, subconsciously touched the wig on his head, and glanced at the incense burner beside him.

Three sticks of fate-borrowing incense emitted wisps of blue smoke, as if connecting to the distant travelers.

“Alas, it’s been half a year since Ping’an went to the Eastern Alliance in the blink of an eye.”

Li Dazhi stretched lazily, got up, pulled open the door of the office, and stepped out of the formation that isolated sound and prying eyes.

Noises from the crowd hit him like a wave.

Throughout the great hall, hundreds of tables and chairs were set up, where old Immortals rolled up their sleeves and clicked their abacuses loudly;

Efficient male and female Immortals weaved through the crowd, each holding many Jade Talismans in their hands.

The entire Castcloud Hall used this place as its nucleus, remotely controlling three magic artifact bases, twenty-nine high-quality magic artifact production lines, and over two hundred high-quality magic tool production lines, commanding over eight hundred magic artifact shops from Wanyun Sect, Wei Yuan Sect, and Tianyuan Gate.

On the south wall of the main hall, a plaque enveloped by numerous layers of restrictions hung over the three large characters [Castcloud Hall], inscribed with [Carry Forward the Past to Forge the Future].

Below this plaque, specifically, three meditation cushions were laid out where three Heavenly Immortal elders from within the sect meditated daily to protect this plaque.

Although the bestowed calligraphy by the Human Emperor was a supreme honor, it couldn’t be damaged; any damage would be disrespectful to the Human Emperor.

“Mmm~ hmm~”

Li Dazhi hummed a cheerful tune as he strolled towards the hall’s entrance.

Wanyun Sect’s Immortals that he passed by all respectfully greeted him with the title ‘Ancestor Master’; those who were busy would not come over to salute specially.

The Great Wealth Immortal didn’t like deliberate flattery.

Now, the entire high-quality magic artifact line of Castcloud Hall was fully operational, producing a new batch of high-quality magic artifact orders for the Eastern Alliance.

The Forge-Heaven Gate, which was the biggest threat to Castcloud Hall half a year ago, was now struggling to save itself, facing daily audits from the Eastern Alliance.

Just the accounts from the past tens of thousands of years would take years to fully review.

Now, whenever Li Dazhi recalled the dramatic changes in the Eastern Alliance six months ago, his Dao heart would feel a sigh of emotion.

“Dazhi Uncle-Master!

Come drink with us!”

An old Heavenly Immortal sprang from the neighboring peak, yelling at Li Dazhi.

Li Dazhi smiled and waved his hand, “No, no!

You drink!

Master has matters for me!”

The old Heavenly Immortal saluted and muttered, “Then come have a drink later!

Hic!”

“No problem!”

With a grin, Li Dazhi continued towards the back of the main peak, riding the clouds after the old Heavenly Immortal returned to his mountain.

Passing the main hall, crossing the forest sea, he stepped into a bamboo grove.

As soon as Li Dazhi entered the barrier set by a Golden Immortal, he saw a middle-aged Daoist standing quietly in front.

“Yun Ting Brother,” Li Dazhi stepped forward and bowed, “You’ve ended your seclusion?”

Daoist Yun Ting, the third Golden Immortal of the Wanyun Sect and disciple of Daoist Kongming, was a Qi Cultivator of the Human Race who became a Golden Immortal after the ancient era.

Daoist Yun Ting smiled and returned the gesture with a Daoist salute, saying softly, “Thanks to Ping’an for granting the opportunity.”

“Brother, you’re too polite.”

Li Dazhi said with a smile, “Ping’an likes artifact refining.

By chance, he obtained some opportunities for artifact refining, which led to the previous lecture.”

“Alas, it is said that hearing Yunzhong Elder’s lecture once surpasses ten thousand years of arduous cultivation!”

Daoist Yun Ting heaved a sigh with a smile, turned to invite, and walked side by side with Li Dazhi for a short distance.

In a gentle voice, Daoist Yun Ting inquired, “Is Ping’an doing well in the Eastern Alliance?”

“Him?

Too well.”

Li Dazhi shook his head and stated:

“That fellow Ping’an, he said he was going to be a sword for Tianli Elder, but by some twist of fate, he became the sword in the hands of the Yellow Emperor.

Half a year ago, he caused an uproar in the Eastern Alliance, a real storm, uproar everywhere.

“He is only at the Heaven and Earth Bridge realm.

Although he is temporarily unable to become an Immortal due to certain reasons, he insisted on standing out and confronted the chief handmaid of the Nuwa Palace.

“Who is that chief handmaid?

She has a human’s body and a snake’s tail, from the same race as the Holy Mother!

“He certainly offended her badly!”

“Junior brother Dazhi, you can’t stop laughing.”

“Is that so?”

“Hahaha!”

The two laughed heartily together, passing through a bamboo grove to see the meditating Daoist Kongming on the rock.

Grandmother Linghua has not yet finished her seclusion.

— For a Golden Immortal like her, the longer she remains in seclusion after hearing the lecture, the more she will improve herself.

“You brothers seem to have a good relationship.”

Daoist Kongming slowly opened his eyes, casually pointed out two cushions, and motioned for Yun Ting and Li Dazhi to sit down together.

After a while, Daoist Kongming spoke slowly, getting straight to the point:

“Dazhi, I called you here to discuss something.

I never told you before, but you have several elder brothers and sisters who were once exiled by me to the outer realms, and now, after tens of thousands of years, they wish to return to the sect.

What do you think?”

Li Dazhi was taken aback, puzzled, “Master, couldn’t you just decide on your own?

I’m the junior brother after all.”

Daoist Yun Ting chuckled, “Junior brother Dazhi, Master was worried their return might affect you.”

“Affect me?” Li Dazhi blinked, already understanding the key point.

Daoist Yun Ting explained succinctly:

“You’ve made Castcloud Hall so prosperous.

Within just a few years, you’ve raised our Wanyun Sect’s prestige higher than several previous sects, not to mention earning so many Spirit Stones for the sect and gaining the trust of the Eastern Alliance’s dignitaries.

“Now, everyone in the sect from top to bottom takes pride in sharing the same sect as the Great Wealth Immortal!

“Thus, Master has already decided that the position of the next Sect Leader will be yours to take.”

Immediately, Daoist Kongming said, “If Yun Mo breaks through to become a Golden Immortal after emerging from seclusion, Dazhi, you will ascend directly to the position of Sect Leader.

If he doesn’t break through, you will take over as Sect Leader after a hundred years.”

“This…

this…”

Li Dazhi was momentarily flustered but ultimately thickened his skin and nodded in agreement.
