Chapter 4168: Doujing Dao Palace

“Right now, we can only continue to keep an eye on the Jiang family. The world has only recently undergone a cataclysmic change, and the Jiang family’s actions suggest they have grand ambitions!”

Tai Su Daojun said in a deep voice.

He couldn’t concern himself with the Jiang family’s affairs for the time being. As long as they didn’t threaten the Taiyi Immortal Sect, there was no need to further escalate the conflict.

Even if the Jiang family had ulterior motives, he only needed to keep an eye on them. In any case

,

as long as the Jiang family didn’t go mad,

there was no possibility of them going to war with the Taiyi Immortal Sect. Tai Su Daojun was confident in

this . After all, in the current situation, if the two major powers continued to fight, they could easily become the ones benefiting others. The foundation of supreme powers had been weakened to the extreme in the face of the cataclysmic change. In the past, even if the Taiyi Immortal Sect and the Jiang family were both severely weakened, ordinary forces wouldn’t have the opportunity to reap the benefits. Only other supreme powers could sit back and reap the rewards. But now it’s different. After the cataclysmic change, the gap between supreme sects and ordinary sects has narrowed. One or two sects naturally pose no threat to the Taiyi Immortal Sect. However, if their numbers increase, they are definitely not to be underestimated. Now, with the dramatic changes in the world, many territories previously controlled by the Taiyi Immortal Sect are being impacted, and the problems faced by various worldly entities are even greater. Daoist Taisu understands that this is only the beginning. As time goes on, the troubles facing the Taiyi Immortal Sect will only increase. After all, who wouldn’t want to take advantage of this opportunity to swallow up a supreme sect? Of course, the Taiyi Immortal Sect isn’t the only one facing such troubles; other supreme forces are in the same boat. Therefore, Daoist Taisu doesn’t believe the Jiang family will start a war at this time. After all, a war, regardless of victory or defeat, would not be a good thing. “Before the cataclysmic changes of the world, how could those ant-like forces have the right to bare their fangs before our sect? It’s hateful that the current cataclysm has allowed these ants to harbor such inappropriate thoughts. However, ants are still ants. Even with the cataclysm, the foundation of our Taiyi Immortal Sect is beyond their reach!” A semi-saint elder’s face was grim, his tone filled with chilling killing intent. But there was nothing they could do. That was the reality. The cataclysm had given many previously weak forces an opportunity, aspiring to carve up a share of the supreme power and rise to the top in one step. After all, before the cataclysm, these forces had absolutely no chance of shaking the Taiyi Immortal Sect. But now it’s different. After the cataclysm, the gap between the two sides has narrowed considerably. Although the Taiyi Immortal Sect’s strength remains formidable, it is no longer as unapproachable as before. Even with only a sliver of hope, these forces wouldn’t miss it. After all— if they miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to have another one. If they don’t act now, when will they? Everyone understands this principle. Therefore, Daoist Taisu didn’t have the extra time to deal with the Jiang family’s affairs. The real key issue to resolve was the troubles of the Taiyi Immortal Sect. “Now, the Doujing Dao Palace is also somewhat restless. Many of our sect’s industries have been impacted, and the shadow of the Doujing Dao Palace is behind it all. Not long ago, a secret realm appeared in the Donghua Immortal Domain. Some sect disciples went inside to explore, but three true disciples perished. The one who killed the true disciples was He Yan of the Doujing Dao Palace.” At this moment, an elder spoke in a deep voice. Hearing this, many cultivators’ faces darkened slightly. “The Doujing Dao Palace… it seems that nowadays, every force wants to provoke us!” Daoist Taisu smiled slightly, but this smile looked quite cold. The Doujing Dao Palace was a major force in the Donghua Immortal Domain, but compared to the Taiyi Immortal Sect, it was far inferior. In the past, the Doujing Dao Palace would always avoid the Taiyi Immortal Sect, never daring to kill a true disciple of the Taiyi Immortal Sect. But now… under the dramatic changes in the world. Such forces also harbored some inappropriate thoughts. This naturally angered Daoist Taisu. “If I remember correctly, He Yan is the number one prodigy of this generation of Doujing Dao Palace, ranking forty-seventh on the Immortal Emperor Stele, right?” “Sect Master is right! Such prodigies on the Immortal Emperor Stele are not to be underestimated in this era. Because of this, not only did our sect lose three true disciples, but even the half-saint elder who led the group was severely injured by him, only managing to escape by chance!” As the elder finished speaking, Luo Xinghe, who had remained silent until now, stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, “Master, this disciple is willing to go to Doujing Dao Palace to kill He Yan!” “…” Daoist Taisu looked at him, remained silent for a long time, and then nodded slightly. “You and He Yan are both prodigies inscribed on the Immortal Emperor’s Stele. It’s normal for peers to compete. Since that’s the case, then you will represent the sect and go to Doujing Dao Palace.” As Taisu Daojun finished speaking, Taiming Great Sage frowned slightly. “He Yan is the number one prodigy of Doujing Dao Palace. Doujing Dao Palace will likely not sit idly by and watch He Yan perish.” “Peer grudges should be resolved among peers. If Doujing Dao Palace truly disregards the rules, then let’s just destroy it. It’ll be perfect, let the world see that even in the face of drastic changes, our Taiyi Immortal Sect is not someone they can provoke!” Taisu Daojun’s eyes turned cold, his face filled with murderous intent. Now that various forces are stirring, he can use this as a warning to others. Although Doujing Dao Palace is not weak, destroying it at this time would come at a price. But— the benefits of destroying Doujing Dao Palace are obvious. The destruction of a powerful force is enough to make other forces wary. Of course… If Doujing Dao Palace doesn’t dare to break off relations, then it’s not a big problem. Killing He Yan will indirectly weaken the strength of Doujing Dao Palace, while also suppressing the morale of Doujing Dao Palace, which will also add some prestige to Taiyi Immortal Sect.

Originally,

Daoist Taisu had no intention of attacking Doujing Dao Palace, but now that they had come to him, it was just as he wished.

After all, finding a suitable target to make an example of was not easy.

Hearing this, the other cultivators had no further objections.

Then,

Daoist Taisu looked at the Great Sage Taiming beside him and said, “This time, I will trouble Elder Taiming to make the trip, and also mobilize one hundred Immortal Emperor disciples to go to Doujing Dao Palace. Under the guise of a peer sparring session, we can see just how strong the younger generation of Doujing Dao Palace really is!”

“We will obey the Sect Master’s order!”

Great Sage Taiming clasped his hands and accepted the order.

…

The Taiyi Immortal Sect acted quickly.

In a few days, led by Great Sage Taiming, they headed straight for Doujing Dao Palace.

When they arrived in front of Doujing Dao Palace, Great Sage Taiming flicked his sleeve, and a terrifying force tore through the void. A mustard seed arena appeared in an instant, transforming into a mountain-sized platform that stood in front of Doujing Dao Palace.

“Boom!”

The arena slammed down, shaking the heavens and earth.

The numerous cultivators of Doujing Dao Palace were startled by this sudden commotion.

At the same time,

the Great Sage Taiming slowly spoke, his voice resonating through the heavens and covering billions of miles of void.

“Today, the Taiyi Immortal Sect has led a hundred Immortal Emperor disciples to our door, seeking to experience the high skills of the younger generation of Doujing Dao Palace. I wonder if Doujing Dao Palace dares to accept the challenge!”

These words immediately caused the expressions of the Doujing Dao Palace cultivators to change drastically.

The Taiyi Immortal Sect!

Despite the current era of dramatic changes in the world, this name still instilled fear in them.

Soon, a Daoist appeared across the void within Doujing Dao Palace. Looking at the arena blocking the entrance, his expression darkened slightly. His gaze then swept over the other cultivators before finally settling on the Great Sage Taiming.

“What does the Taiyi Immortal Sect mean by this?”

The Great Sage Zhichang’s tone was somewhat unfriendly, his eyes filled with anger and a barely perceptible sense of apprehension.

As the head of Doujing Dao Palace, he had already vaguely guessed the reason for Taiming Great Sage’s visit.

In the past, Doujing Dao Palace would never have dared to offend Taiyi Immortal Sect in the slightest.

But now it was different.

Taiyi Immortal Sect still held a reputation, but in Zhichang Great Sage’s eyes, such power was not unshakeable. Taiming Great Sage smiled faintly: “My meaning is clear. This is a friendly exchange between peers .

I just don’t know if Fellow Daoist Zhichang dares to accept!” He paused, then continued without waiting for Zhichang Great Sage’s reply. “Not long ago, Doujing Dao Palace killed a true disciple of my Taiyi Immortal Sect and injured a half-saint elder. This matter has not yet been settled. Today, we have set up a arena for a hundred true disciples to fight. If Doujing Dao Palace can win half of their forces, then this grudge will be dropped. Otherwise, Doujing Dao Palace must hand over He Yan to quell our sect’s anger!” Taiming Great Sage spoke bluntly, leaving no room for Zhichang Great Sage. The latter’s expression was uncertain; he understood that the Taiyi Immortal Sect wanted to find a reason to make an example of someone. To be honest , Zhichang Great Sage hadn’t expected the Taiyi Immortal Sect to be so decisive, still choosing to attack Doujing Dao Palace in the current situation. It should be noted that Doujing Dao Palace was not weak, and given the Taiyi Immortal Sect’s current situation, directly breaking ties with Doujing Dao Palace might not be a good thing. He Yan’s killing of the Taiyi Immortal Sect’s true disciple was merely a test. If the Taiyi Immortal Sect turns a blind eye, it means the Doujing Dao Palace can take further action. But now, Great Sage Taiming is directly blocking the gate… this is undoubtedly going too far. However, handing over He Yan is impossible. A prodigy listed on the Immortal Emperor Stele, barring an unexpected death, will undoubtedly achieve great things in the future. Moreover, in this era of dramatic changes, He Yan, listed on the Immortal Emperor Stele, is already among the top ranks of the Doujing Dao Palace. Therefore, the Doujing Dao Palace has no reason to hand him over. While the Taiyi Immortal Sect’s hundred true disciples are not weak, in Great Sage Zhichang’s view, the Doujing Dao Palace might not necessarily lose. A victory in this battle would greatly boost morale and give the Doujing Dao Palace a greater advantage when facing the Taiyi Immortal Sect later. Understanding this, Great Sage Zhichang gave Great Sage Taiming a deep look, then nodded. “Since Fellow Daoist Taiming has put it this way, then Doujing Dao Palace naturally has no reason to refuse. It’s just as I wish to see the strength of the Taiyi Immortal Sect’s prodigies!”
