Chapter 219 - 219: Competing for Merit (1)
As the spirit ship slowly drilled out of the spatial door.
Everyone felt a sense of hope.
“This…”
Looking at this fairyland-like scene in front of him, Chen Daoxuan simply could not believe his eyes.
In front of his eyes, immortal palaces floated above the clouds, stretching endlessly.
Below the Immortal Palace.
It was the residence of mortals. Looking down, countless mortals were living and thriving in this grotto-heaven world. Chen Daoxuan observed slightly and realized that the mortals here were completely different from the mortals in Cangzhou.
From time to time, immortal boats flew by in the sky.
However, the mortals below were completely different from the outside world. They would kneel and kowtow whenever they saw an immortal cultivator. Instead, they acted as if it was a matter of course.
It could be seen that the living conditions of the mortals here were much higher than the outside world.
Chen Daoxuan saw something different from these mortals, but he could not put his finger on it.
It wasn’t until the arrival of the disciples of the Qianyuan Sword Sect that he knew what this different thing was. It was confidence!
Compared to the numb mortals outside, the mortals here had an additional sense of confidence.
“Brother Chen, the people from the Qianyuan Sword Sect are here.”
“Yes.”
Hearing Zhou Mubai’s reminder, Chen Daoxuan looked ahead.
As expected.
A spirit ship flew towards everyone. Before it could get close, a beam of light flew out from the spirit ship.
In the blink of an eye.
The flying light arrived in front of the Windwing Spirit Ship.
The light stopped, and a young cultivator wearing the robe of an inner sect disciple of the Qianyuan Sword Sect appeared in front of everyone.
This young cultivator had a delicate face and a kind appearance.
However, his cultivation level was at the late-stage Zifu Disciple realm, higher than most of the people present.
“I am Han Huaiping, an inner sect disciple of the Qianyuan Sword Sect.” “Greetings, Fellow Daoist Han!” The crowd didn’t dare to be negligent, and they all cupped their hands and bowed to this inner sect disciple of the Qianyuan Sword Sect named Han Huaiping.
“This Han has received orders from the sect to welcome you into the sect. Please!”
Han Huaiping made an inviting gesture.
When Chen Daoxuan heard this, he said in surprise,””We actually came at such a coincidence this time. We can receive a reward as soon as we arrive?”
“Fellow Daoist, you worry too much.”
Han Huaiping explained with a smile,”The reward ceremony will be held in ten days. I’m here to welcome all of you to the sect to stay for a few days. Of course, if you have other residences in our sect, you can decide for yourself.”
Hearing this.
“In that case, Brother Zhou and fellow Daoists, I won’t be joining you.”
“Good!”
Zhou Mubai nodded.
Seeing the strange expression on Chen Daoxuan’s face, Zhou Mubai explained,””Fellow Daoist Zhao’s aunt is the Dao partner of an elder of the Qian Yuan Sword Sect.”
“Brother Zhao actually has such an identity?”
Chen Daoxuan said in surprise.
Zhou Mubai smiled and explained,” Almost all the big families in the Infinite Star Sea are inextricably linked to the Qian Yuan Sword Sect. You don’t think that only Ye Wudao of the Ye Family is related to the Qian Yuan Sword Sect, do you?””
Hearing this, Chen Daoxuan fell silent.
He had thought so before.
The foundation of a large family was not something that the Chen family of Shuanghu Island, which had suddenly risen, could compare to.
This kind of background was not only reflected in the family’s hard power, but also its complicated network of relationships.
Otherwise…
What right did the big families of the various prefectures of Cang Prefecture have to not give the Ye family face?
Chen Daoxuan couldn’t help but think of the Zhou family.
Zhou Minghao dared to break off relations with the Ye family so brazenly. The Zhou family’s network was definitely not simple.
However, he didn’t know what the Zhou Family’s background in the Qian Yuan Sword Sect was.
Thinking of this, Chen Daoxuan couldn’t help but look around at the crowd. He found that he seemed to be the only one who had no background in the Qianyuan Sword Sect.
As expected.
As Fire Spirit Daoist took the lead in suggesting to leave the team, everyone made their own decisions.
Zhou Mubai and Zhou Minghao were no exception. They all left the team.
In less than five minutes.
In front of Han Huaiping, Chen Daoxuan was the only one left.
“How should 1 address you, friend?” Han Huaiping smiled politely.”
“My name is Chen Daoxuan,”
Hearing this, Han Huaiping nodded and extended his hand.”Fellow Daoist Chen, please!” action
“Thank you.”
Chen Daoxuan cupped his hands and followed Han Huaiping, boarding the spirit ship he came to welcome everyone, flying towards the celestial palace in the clouds.
Along the way.
Chen Daoxuan took the initiative to chat with I Ian Huaiping.
“Fellow Daoist Han, I feel that after entering the estate-world, the area here seems even larger than the outside world.”
Hearing this.
Han Huaiping smiled slightly.” Fellow Daoist Chen, you’re right. The Grotto-heaven of our Qian Yuan Sword Sect is indeed much bigger than the outside world. Fellow Daoist Chen, this is probably the first time you’ve come to our Qian Yuan Sword Sect, right?””
“Yes, it’s my first time here.”
“No wonder,”
Han Huaiping nodded.” Actually, this isn’t a secret. When the Qianyuan Sword Sect was first established, we killed a Realm Demon and used its body to refine this main grotto-heaven.”
“Realm Demon?”
Chen Daoxuan immediately grasped the main point of the other party’s words.
However, Han Huaiping didn’t have the intention to explain. He pointed down and said,””Compared to the Immortal Cities of the major families in the Infinite Star Sea, the Qian Yuan Sword Sect has completely separated mortals from cultivators.
Mortals lived on the ground, while cultivators lived in the Cloud Top Immortal Palace. The two were clearly separated, and ordinary disciples were not allowed to interfere with mortal affairs.”
Hearing this.
Chen Daoxuan pointed at the immortal palaces in front of the spirit ship and said,””This is the Yunding Immortal Palace?”
“Yes, ten days later, you will be rewarded by the sect master in the Cloud Sky Hall..”
