Chapter 701: Chapter 596: Two Chapters of Agreement, Statues Fall in Wanyu.

"I have a magic treasure that can separate thousands of minds and suppress the Mortal World. I intend to erect statues in all the great dynasties of Wanyu." Wang Zijia’s words were straightforward and blunt.

Ding Haiping was mildly surprised and Zheng Zhuo, the Pavilion Master of Scripture Pavilion couldn’t help but ask, "Fellow Daoist, are you planning to start preaching?"

Li Zhengfang, who had an elderly face, was also attentively observing Wang Zijia.

Wang Zijia paused for a moment. Preaching?

This was....

Yes, the Immortal Ascension Ceremony, Earth Immortal Path, and the three Inheritance Paths. If you mainly follow the path of enlightenment, you have to preach.

Of course, the methods differ. To enlighten, one must preach quantity while the main inheritance involves training core disciples, focusing on quality.

Regardless of the course chosen, the current Earth Immortal Tradition required deep study of the three Inheritance Paths, enlightening the Immortal Spirits, and lifting the mist to ascend!

Is this a misunderstanding?

It might as well be!

It would save a lot of deceptive talk!

"Sort of!" Wang Zijia said during his thoughts.

"There’s nothing wrong with preaching, but Fellow Daoist, you must pay attention to two points!" Ding Haiping slightly regained his senses, put down his tea cup, and extended two fingers.

"Whatever you say, Headmaster, I shall keep in mind." Wang Zijia replied seriously.

"Firstly, no matter how you preach in the Mortal World, you cannot establish an Immortal Dynasty." Ding Haiping extended a finger, looking sternly at Wang Zijia.

Wang Zijia was somewhat surprised by this requirement.

Then he remembered his identity and understood.

The Three Sects had, after all, split off from the Immortal Alliance. The Dragon Vein of Daqian had a huge influence on the Mortal World within the Spirit Suppressing Realm!

It had taken Wanyu countless years to diminish the impact of that influence.

If an Immortal Dao Dynasty appeared in Wanyu, the Dragon Vein would undoubtedly be rejuvenated. It would be influenced and stimulated by Daqian. When that happened, it would be equivalent to actively delivering food into the hands of Daqian.

Thus, for several thousands of years, regardless of whether it was Wanyu or the Flying Immortals, it had been strictly forbidden for mortal imperial families to engage in cultivation and establish Immortal Dynasty Families.

With these thoughts racing through his mind, Wang Zijia nodded and said, "Of course!"

"Just to be clear. As soon as you start, I will send people to regularly investigate in the Mortal World." Ding Haiping added.

"You are merely following protocol, Head Teacher. What’s the second point?" Wang Zijia replied, unfazed.

"When you preach, you cannot promote other Dao consistencies, it must be the doctrine of Wanyu, not even the Immortal Alliance!" Ding Haiping extended his second finger, looking serious.

Obviously, his two conditions were out of fear that Wang Zijia might secretly lean towards Daqian, subtly undermining the foundation of Wanyu.

After all, his identity as the Ninth Prince of Dagan was quite awkward!

Besides these points, they didn’t have any particularly strict requirements for Wang Zijia’s preaching.

"I will remember!" Wang Zijia nodded solemnly.

"As long as Fellow Daoist fulfils these two points, whether you wish to build a temple, establish your own faction, be worshipped by the masses, become an Immortal and a patriarch, you can act as you please. You can even mobilize disciples from the Sect to assist you."

Ding Haiping heaved a sigh of relief. He genuinely did not want any tensions with Wang Zijia, especially with Li Zhengfang, who was both a teacher and a friend, watching closely.

The Earth Immortal Tradition was extremely attractive to cultivators who had been at the threshold of becoming Immortals for years.

Especially after witnessing the phenomenon of over a thousand cultivators having ascended after only 400 years of gestation, many of the old cultivators felt a yearning deep within their withered hearts!

He had no doubt that if he were to drive Wang Zijia away, the old folks at the Elders’ Hall would probably tear his Section apart!

Meanwhile, Wang Zijia was still somewhat surprised by what Ding Haiping had said.

Before his arrival, he thought he would have to make a lot of promises, but he hadn’t expected it to be so easy.

On second thought, he was a Guru of the Sect, not to mention establishing a faction in the Mortal World, he could even have his own lineage within the Sect and establish related clans.

This was a privilege any Guru within the Sect possessed!

Having established an agreement, the matter was settled.

"Speaking of which, I have a favor to ask of Fellow Daoist Wang." Once the matter was agreed upon, Ding Haiping began.

’Here it comes? It’s still about mutual benefit exchange?’

Wang Zijia pondered, replying with a smile, "Master, please order and if it’s within my power, I will definitely do my best."

"It’s not a big deal. In about three to four months, the Three Sects will have a meeting. As the most renowned cultivator in our Sect now, I would like to invite Fellow Daoist to represent our Sect in the Alliance deliberation. I wonder if you would be willing to lead this meeting?"

Ding Haiping said with a mirthful smile.

Wang Zijia, who had been anticipating Ding Haiping’s request, was left speechless by the unexpected task and understood Ding Haiping’s intentions.

Regardless of whether Wang Zijia admitted it or not, after all, he was considered a patriarchal figure in Daqian. Especially now, his Earth Immortal Path was close to Great Mastery, which was bound to impact Daqian.

When he led the deliberation of the Three Sects’ Alliance, Daqian would inevitably tread carefully.

After all, Wang Zijia was now considered the younger blood brother of the current Prefect of Daqian Sect, the patriarch of the direct bloodline!

This position held significant power in an Immortal Dynasty like Daqian.

At that time, many matters would be easier to handle and Wanyu would bleed less.

Within his mind, thoughts sparked and raced, allowing Wang Zijia to instantly comprehend the crux of the matter.

Without any delay, he said straightforwardly, "Initially, I was also intending to go, I am absolutely committed to the duty of exorcism."

"We are indebted to Fellow Daoist Wang for your efforts!" Ding Haiping said with a face full of smiles.

With the main topic addressed, everyone was immersed in a friendly chat. Being a group of old monsters, it was full of laughter and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.

The only thing that surprised Wang Zijia was that he had prepared himself to be asked certain questions.

However, no one, including Ding Haiping or the other two, asked anything about the occurrences of the day.

There was a very silent agreement to avoid any topic related to Wang Zijia’s identity. They all treated him as the Nine Tribulations Chi Yang of Wanyu: Wang Zijia!

As far as Wang Zijia was concerned, he was more than happy with this. There was no need to make any excuse.

After about half a day of casual talk and having two pots of spiritual tea,

With the absence of wine, Zheng Zhuo seemed somewhat listless and unenthusiastic the whole time.

It wasn’t until the end of the meeting that he suddenly asked, "Can I witness the breakthrough in person twenty days later?"

This sudden question revived Li Zhengfang’s spirit.

Wang Zijia paused for a moment before saying, "You’ll have to ask Tower Master Zhang about that. I don’t have any problem with it."

The three men’s eyes lit up at once, and Zheng Zhuo stopped at that, not asking any further questions.

Drawing the conversation to a close shortly after, Wang Zijia stood up to leave.

······

The three men didn’t disperse at once but silently watched as Wang Zijia vanished into the horizon.

"Senior brother, do you think he’s truly an ancient Immortal God?" Ding Haiping stared at the horizon, asking as if speaking to himself.

Li Zhengfang, standing beside him, shook his head, signaling that he didn’t know.

However, Zheng Zhuo interjected, "Today, I deliberately went through the secret books in the pavilion. It is probable, before the Immortal Venerate awakened from his slumber in the Immortal Alliance, he was indeed a tea server of a powerful being."

The two children serving them looked slightly shocked.

"But how did he reincarnate into the present time? And according to records, during the end of the Dharma in the Fifth Era when divine power was at its most rampant, all the Gurus in the Saint Third Realm either died or disappeared."

"Even among the Immortal Three Realms (Upper Three Realms), countless Celestial Immortals and Profound Immortals fell. Only a handful of cultivators who were neither too powerful nor too weak managed to survive by sealing themselves, making it through the end times of the Fifth Era. There weren’t too many Earth Immortals that awakened in our current era either!"

Ding Haiping furrowed his brows, murmuring his thoughts.

After a moment of silence, Tower Master Li Zhengfang spoke up, "There’s always some Gurus with their own methods. It’s not so easy to die after becoming an immortal, there are too many ways to survive."

Although these forced words obviously were not what they were looking for, nobody present continued to speak about the horrors recorded in the End of the Dharma, which they all knew of.

······

Upon returning to White Peach Peak, Wang Zijia found that the construction site of the Jade Talisman Vein was unusually bustling.

There were unrelated disciples who heard rumors and came to loiter around and sightsee;

Disciples who had been shown kindness;

Personnel related to the Inner Sect;

Even the Perfecteds, who rarely appeared in the Outer Sect, showed up in groups.

The Perfecteds who ascended in the Qinglian World also came one after another, having finished the procedures at the administrative office, they arrived at the Jade Talisman Vein to report, started to get assigned places on White Peach Peak. Some people started to ask them about their preferences to build their cave mansions for them.

What a lively scene!

Upon seeing this Wang Zijia remembered something important he seemed to have forgotten.

Spiritual veins!

Although currently apart from him, the highest cultivator of the Jade Talisman Vein was just an Infant God, it would probably be a bit strained for the Grade Four Spiritual Vein Group of White Peach Peak to support thirty to fifty thousand Perfecteds.

Turning back once more, he headed to Qifeng.

However, he didn’t go to Wanyu Main Peak again, but instead flew towards the Outer Four Peaks, to Thick Virtue Peak where the pill, tool, formation and talisman institutes are located.

······

Regarding the Formation Institute’s headquarters, Wang Zijia hadn’t been too familiar with them.

However, among the bunch of old fellows who had previously paid him a visit, there were people from the Formation Institute.

Guided by directions, Wang Zijia arrived at an elegant small courtyard on the hillside of Thick Virtue Peak and descended gracefully.

"Junior Brother Wang, you finally arrived. Please come in quickly!"

Because Wang Zijia had informed them in advance, when Wang Zijia arrived it wasn’t a gatekeeper who received him, but a woman named Yanjuan, who still maintained a youthful charm and was waiting for him eagerly.

Seeing the descending Wang Zijia, she eagerly greeted him.

"Paying respects to Senior Sister Yan!" Wang Zijia respectfully greeted the woman in front of him.

In her thirties, with exquisite facial features and a nice figure, she was like a ripe and juicy peach.

The mature charm of a woman exuded from her, making her particularly attractive to some inexperienced young men.

The woman wasn’t young, not young at all!

Yanjuan was a peak Yuan Shen Cultivator and the former dean of the Formation Institute. Because her desire for power wasn’t strong, she retired early. Nevertheless, even now, she could still cause significant disturbances in the Formation Institute with just a word.
