Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

#498 - Chapter 497 Old Things

More than a month passed, and Liu Yuanqing came to find Zhang Yuanjing, inviting him to the Jieyuan Hall, saying that True Person Tong wanted to see him.

Zhang Yuanjing had been staying in Tianque Mountain, actually waiting for Tong Tianfu's summons.

Originally, he wanted to hear Tong Tianfu's arrangements on how to deal with the Hou Tu Sect. Unexpectedly, several months passed, and Tong Tianfu did not summon him.

Later, he heard the news from Su Yuanxiao. He thought that Tong Tianfu would definitely have an in-depth talk with him, so he stayed in the mountain gate under the pretext of visiting Zhang Yu and several disciples, and did not return to the Xuanyuan Hall.

"Senior Brother Zhang, regarding the matter of the inner traitor, according to the True Person's instructions, please Uncle Tianwan investigate secretly. There is already some progress. The True Person said that this matter must be explained to you, and please wait for some time," Liu Yuanqing said to Zhang Yuanjing as they flew along.

"Oh, I wonder who the problem lies with?" Zhang Yuanjing asked.

Liu Yuanqing hesitated for a moment and said, "There are two people who are suspected. One is Song Yuanzhen. He is not an enforcer of the Law Enforcement Hall, but because he has a close relationship with Junior Brother Yuanmeng, he can know the situation of the Foundation Establishment disciples accepting assignments. The other is Ji Yuanhao. This person is the youngest disciple of Uncle Tiange. Well, he has been taken care of by Pei Yuanjian since he was a child, so he holds a grudge against Senior Brother. He has privately told several enforcers of the Law Enforcement Hall that he wants to make things difficult for several of Senior Brother's disciples in the matter of assigning tasks."

Zhang Yuanjing saw a hint of embarrassment on Liu Yuanqing's face and knew that this matter was mostly related to Song Yuanzhen. If it was Ji Yuanhao, he would have dealt with it directly without too much consideration. However, the matter of Song Yuanzhen involved Guo Yuanmeng, who was personally arranged by True Person Tong to go to the Law Enforcement Hall, so it was inevitable that there would be some concerns when dealing with it.

He smiled and said, "It's good to find out. External troubles are big, but they are just a minor ailment; internal troubles are small, but they can eventually lead to collapse. If the sect is as solid as a rock, outsiders will not be able to find loopholes. If everyone is of one mind, what enemy cannot be swept away!"

Liu Yuanqing looked at the calm and composed Zhang Yuanjing, knowing that this man had experienced many dangers and had unknowingly developed the aura and state of mind of a strong man, no longer the insignificant ordinary cultivator of the past. He sighed in his heart and respectfully echoed, "Senior Brother is right!"

Arriving outside the Jieyuan Hall, Liu Yuanqing stopped and made a gesture of invitation: "Senior Brother, please enter. The True Person is waiting for you."

Zhang Yuanjing nodded and stepped into the hall.

In the right hall, Tong Tianfu stood near the hall door and said with a smile, "Yuanjing is here! Please sit down."

Zhang Yuanjing quickly saluted and said, "I have kept the True Person waiting. Disciple Zhang Yuanjing greets the True Person!"

"Alright, let's not bother with these formalities. Sit down," Tong Tianfu said with a smile, leading Zhang Yuanjing a few steps inside, gesturing for him to sit on a wooden armchair beside him.

"I heard from Yuanqing that you have been guiding the disciples in the mountains these past few months. The juniors have all made progress, which is gratifying! Yuanjing has taken in good disciples!" Tong Tianfu praised as he sat down.

Zhang Yuanjing smiled and said, "In terms of talent, only Zhang Yu is a bit stronger, the others are not outstanding. However, they are all considered hardworking and have not disappointed the sect's expectations, especially Zhang Yu. It is not in vain for the True Person to personally guide her. Her progress is very fast and she will surely become the backbone of the sect in the future."

Tong Tianfu said, half agreeing and half sighing, "Yes, when juniors like Zhang Yu grow up, what will the sect have to fear from the Heavenly Devil Abyss? Although it is difficult now, as long as we get through it, it will definitely get better and better in the future. Maybe I, the old Taoist, will be able to see the day of the sect's revival!"

Zhang Yuanjing nodded and said, "With the True Person planning the overall situation, everything is possible."

Tong Tianfu waved his hand and said solemnly, "The old Taoist's path has been cut off. He is just acting as a gatekeeper, blocking the invasion of unwelcome guests and providing a stable cultivation environment for the younger generation of the sect. Some things still need to be borne by Yuanjing.

"These days, the old Taoist has been thinking about it and feels that passively dealing with the situation will ultimately not get rid of the predicament. The Heavenly Devil Abyss, the Thousand Swords Gate, the Hengduan Mountains, and now there is another Hou Tu Sect, intertwined like a big net, covering the sky above Tianque Mountain and binding the hands and feet of our Xuantian Sect. If we cannot break the situation, we will inevitably be bound tighter and tighter, and eventually lose all vitality.

"Therefore, the old Taoist believes that we should take the initiative to attack, seek external force, and withstand this most difficult stage. In the future, whether it is Tiancong, Tianwan, or Yuanjing and Yuanqing, or even Zhang Yu in the future, as long as another Nascent Soul is achieved, the situation of my Xuantian Sect will be completely revitalized."

Zhang Yuanjing's expression froze. Knowing that he had reached the key point, he asked, "I wonder where the True Person is seeking external force from?"

Tong Tianfu pondered for a moment and said, "This matter involves an old incident from back then. Yuanjing should know that there is a super sect in the Eastern Region called the Jixia Academy. This academy gathers many inheritances and is known as 'A Hundred Schools of Thought Contending'.

"Among these hundred schools, after tens of thousands of years of rise and fall, seven are the most powerful: Taoism, Confucianism, Mohism, Legalism, Yin-Yang, Military, and Agriculture, which have always taken turns serving as the head of the academy. The external force I am talking about is seeking the help of the Agricultural School, one of these seven."

"The Agricultural School?"

"That's right, the Agricultural School. Hundreds of years ago, because of factional disputes in the academy, internal strife occurred within the Agricultural School. A collateral branch expelled the direct line and even wanted to kill them all. This direct line fled from the Eastern Region to the Southern Region, seeking refuge in my Xuantian Sect.

"At that time, the True Person of my Xuantian Sect was Pan Xuanli, True Person Pan Xuanli. Under his leadership, my sect was thriving and had the appearance of revival. He overruled all objections and settled the direct line of the Agricultural School in Tianque Mountain, and fought a battle with two True Persons from the collateral branch of the Agricultural School who came to hunt them down, defeating them.

"At that time, all the Core Formation cultivators in the sect were worried that this move would anger the Jixia Academy and attract the attack of powerful enemies. But later, for some reason, this matter was settled, and the collateral branch of the Agricultural School did not pursue the matter any further.

"It was also decades ago that the old Taoist heard the news that the Nascent Soul中期修士 cultivator who led the collateral branch of the Agricultural School forced his way to the top, which was unpopular in the Jixia Academy. In order to restore his influence and establish his authority, this person deliberately cultivated an extremely rare spiritual plant, but he was too hasty and not only failed to cultivate the spiritual plant successfully, but also damaged his own foundation, and eventually stepped down黯然, which also caused the reputation of the Agricultural School in the Jixia Academy to plummet. As a result, the various branches of the Agricultural School became dissatisfied with this collateral branch and hoped to find the direct line."

Tong Tianfu paused and explained, "The reason why the Agricultural School can stand tall in the Jixia Academy is not only because it has Nascent Soul True Persons, but more importantly, because of its direct lineage's spiritual planting technique. The so-called 'Agriculture' refers to this.

"The reason why the direct line is the direct line is because it has inherited the most superior spiritual planting technique. The collateral branch of the Agricultural School expelled the direct line, originally wanting to seize this inheritance of techniques. However, the only True Person of the direct line resisted desperately, and the other True Persons in the academy secretly helped, so the descendants of the direct line of the Agricultural School successfully escaped and brought out this technique.

"Now that times have changed, some of the disputes of the past have been settled, and the various schools in the academy also hope to welcome back the direct line of the Agricultural School and restore the old appearance of the Agricultural School. The external force that the old Taoist is talking about lies here!"
