Chapter 1279 - 507 Ghost-Exorcising Ceremony
Given their own core interests were at stake, the Changqing Immortal Sect, this time, has finally shown willingness to proactively exert efforts, a far departure from their usual avoidance of issues.
Upon hearing this, Yi Dancheng immediately smiled and said, "With these words from Brother, I am now at ease. As soon as Earth Flower True Person from your sect arrives, Brother Qing Guanzi from Taiping Dao will also set out right away to exorcise ghosts in Xiaye Country."
Moreover, I have a plan.
Isn’t there a Tao Discussion conference happening on Mi Yun Mountain right now?
It has gathered more than a dozen True Persons from various gates. In my view, all this talking is less useful than practical action.
Your sect and ours could take the lead in organizing a ghost-exorcising ceremony, and lead all the True Persons together to go to Xiaye Country to exorcise ghosts.
By doing this, we gather nearly half of the Changqing Domain’s strength. Even if the Yellow Springs Underworld has Yama, what should we fear?"
It’s not only the Changqing Immortal Sect that Lu Yuan was eyeing, but also the few other Immortal Sect True Persons remaining in the mountains.
After all, that’s the strength of over a dozen Human Immortals that could be temporarily utilized, a decidedly formidable force.
However, to get these individuals to join in the exorcism into Huangquan, relying on Taiping Dao would be impossible.
Taiping Dao doesn’t have the prestige or the capability, even with Qing Guanzi involved.
Lu Yuan could at most persuade three Immortal Sects from the Southern Domain to join the movement, as for those brought by the Changqing Immortal Sect, there was nothing he could do.
To mobilize those individuals, it had to be the Changqing Immortal Sect itself.
"Dispelling demons and defending the Tao is our duty as Immortal Sect cultivators. True Persons in the mountains, all belong to the Immortal Sect and inherently possess a heart for justice. I will go and speak to them about this matter soon, and I believe my fellow Daoists will not refuse,"
Yang Jihua readily accepted Yi Dancheng’s proposal.
This time it was merely about exorcising ghosts.
Not about making the Immortal Sect cultivators battle against the Jiuzhou Immortal Gate.
Xiaye Country has seen the appearance of the Yellow Springs Underworld, but at most there is just one Yama.
Though powerful, when compared to the entirety of the Jiuzhou Immortal Gate, it’s just so-so.
The joint effort of Changqing Immortal Sect and Taiping Dao this time would at least involve two Earth Immortals, and as for Human Immortals, including the messengers from the many sects in the mountains, at least thirteen or fourteen.
With such strength, not to mention dispelling ghosts, even eradicating the Yellow Springs Underworld would be more than sufficient.
After all, the Yellow Springs Underworld is just a gathering place for turbid energy, a derivative of Heaven and Earth, a small space attached to the Yang World.
This kind of small space has limits in range, at minimum less than the expanse of one country in the Yang World, and at most it won’t exceed the land of ten countries.
Under normal circumstances, it’s only one or two countries in size, which is the normal expanse of the Yellow Springs Underworld.
Now that Taiping Dao has joined hands with the Changqing Immortal Sect and mobilizing so many true persons to exorcise ghosts, they are treating the Yellow Springs Underworld in Xiaye Country as if it were as large as the biggest Dark World of ten countries.
This is clearly preparing for the enemy at a margin.
However, even if they’ve prepared more than necessary, the Immortal Sect still holds the advantage on this side.
With such a significant advantage, combined with the natural enmity between humans and ghosts, the True Persons from the major Immortal Sects also do not wish to see a Yellow Springs Underworld rising in their vicinity.
This would be more bothersome than the Jiuzhou Immortal Gate dominating the Changqing Domain.
As long as the ghost-exorcising ceremony is proposed with Taiping Dao and Changqing Immortal Sect taking the lead, most True Persons are unlikely to refuse.
"Alright, since that’s the case, the Immortal Sects from the northern and eastern territories shall be your responsibility to persuade. I will handle the Southern Domain,"
Satisfied that Yang Jihua had no objections, Yi Dancheng nodded slightly, then continued, "There’s no time to delay. Taking advantage of the fact that the Jiuzhou Immortal Gate hasn’t received the news yet, and for the sake of rescuing Brother Li as soon as possible, let’s act immediately and settle this matter quickly."
The matter concerning the Yellow Springs Underworld in Xiaye Country is currently only known internally within this country, and at most, it has spread to a few neighboring countries.
Although information travels fast in the Immortal Realm, to spread it out wide, reaching the Western Domain, would still take two to three days at the fastest.
And by the time the Jiuzhou Immortal Gate receives the news, deliberates on it, and gathers personnel, another day or two will be needed.
Thus, for Taiping Dao and Changqing Immortal Sect, they are currently left with at least three to four days where Jiuzhou Immortal Gate would not intervene.
Therefore, if they do not want to face external interference and wish to resolve this matter as soon as possible,
This three to four-day window is their best opportunity.
Otherwise, if they delay, and once the Jiuzhou Immortal Gate gets the message and responds,
To loudly gather various Immortal Sects and mobilize more than a dozen True Persons to exorcise ghosts under the watchful eyes of strong enemies, it wouldn’t be so easy.
Just like in the past,
Every time Changqing Immortal Sect mobilizes personnel, even just one or two True Persons under the strict surveillance of the Jiuzhou Immortal Gate, it immediately draws attention.
If a slightly greater number of Immortals is mobilized, suspicions arise whether they are preparing to wage war or incite conflict at the front line.
The Jiuzhou Immortal Gate there would immediately gather corresponding personnel in response, reinforcing the front line as a countermeasure.
So for Changqing Immortal Sect, gathering several True Persons at one time is not an easy task.
A slight mishap could trigger a new large-scale war with the Jiuzhou Immortal Gate.
Thus, to avoid such incidents, both Changqing Immortal Sect and Jiuzhou Immortal Gate have been very cautious about mobilizing forces too frequently or densely, to avoid misunderstandings by the opponent.
This time, gathering so many Immortals at Mi Yun Mountain,
Was mainly because Taiping Dao established their Tao Inheritance, where various Immortal Sects gathered at Mi Yun Mountain, thus sending out True Persons as messengers, which was a special occasion.
That’s why Changqing Immortal Sect was able to gather so many True Persons.
What do you think?
