Chapter 588 Verbal sparring is not my intention

Chapter 588 Verbal sparring is not my intention (Part 1)
A group of female Taoist priests sat in layers, their faces solemn and dignified, with several apricot-yellow prayer cushions placed in the middle.

Su Che had no idea what the famous Earth Immortal Puxiang Zhenren of Xuandu Palace was competing with Bukong Dingguang Buddha for. Such powerful figures in cultivation had long since reached the point of simplicity in the Great Dao, and their supernatural powers were beyond comprehension.

Unthinkable, unspeakable, Su Che could only find a futon with Xue Baizhi and sit down quietly.

"May I ask if you are Huang Tiandao's junior brother, Su?"

Just as Su Che sat down, a voice floated from behind him. Turning around, he saw a young Taoist priest wearing a blue Taoist robe, with a somewhat lazy look in his eyes, carefully sitting down next to him with a futon in hand.

“Ji Boyuan of Shenxiao Dao”.

The young Taoist priest was not tall and had a humble demeanor. He sat down next to Su Che.

"So it's Senior Brother Ji from the Divine Firmament Sect. I am Su Che from the Yellow Heaven Sect..."

"Sigh, we're all family. Our two families have been as close as brothers since our ancestors. We all worship the same ancestor, so we should try to get closer to each other."

Worship an old man? Su Che had heard of such talk before; it was a slang term used in the East Sea. There were many cultivators there, and it was inevitable that they would form factions and fight each other. Many cultivators gathered together to form organizations similar to gangs, fighting each other for the sake of having more people and more power.

If everyone is under the same organization, it is called "worshipping the same grandfather".

"We are both disciples of the Xuanmen sect, and we both revere the Supreme Dao Ancestor, so it's natural that we should pay homage to the same grandfather."

This disciple of the Shenxiao Sect was quite outgoing. He looked at Xue Baizhi beside him and asked, "Is this junior sister also from the Huangtian Sect?"

"Oh, this is Miss Xue Baizhi, a disciple of Yuyang Mountain."

"It's alright. We are all brothers and sisters from all over the world. Yuyang Mountain also worships the Dao Ancestor. We are all from the same grandfather."

Ji Boyuan waved his hand in a very chivalrous manner and said, "Junior Brother Su's mentor, Master Yu Lizi, is the master I admire most. Back then, he fought his way from the Central Plains to the Northern Wilderness, and then from the Northern Wilderness to the Southern Wilderness, killing so many demons that they dared not raise their heads. Such prestige is truly admirable. We have all become disciples of the Dao Ancestor. Whether we can achieve immortality or not is secondary; the most important thing is prestige."

This senior brother from the Shenxiao Sect...

Su Che watched as his senior brother from the Divine Firmament Sect spoke with great enthusiasm, spittle flying everywhere. It seemed he truly admired his master...

"...So, you have to beat the little devil every day. If you don't beat him for three days, he'll be climbing on the roof and tearing off the tiles. Beat him every day, and you'll live a life of wealth and glory."

Ji Boyuan gently patted Su Che's shoulder: "Junior Brother Su and I really hit it off. It's so pleasant chatting with you..."

Su Che, who seemed to have said nothing, could only nod with a simple smile as he looked at his senior brother from the Divine Firmament Dao, who had a very cheerful expression. This man was also a dignified cultivator at the Void Step level.

"Junior Brother Su, don't you feel that the girls here are a bit different?"

Ji Boyuan was clearly a chatterbox. He changed the subject and steered the conversation in another direction, while Su Che and Xue Baizhi, who had been ignored by him, could only listen silently.

"Hehe, our Puxiang Heavenly Venerable is currently battling with the Buddha Amoghavajra, and they are battling over the essence of the Dao."

"Ok?"

"The two sides are betting on who can inspire these girls in the mortal world to seek the Dao. If they all become female Taoist priests, then our Xuanmen sect wins. If they all want to become nuns and shave their heads, then the Buddha of Light wins."

Ji Boyuan almost blurted out the name of the bald man; he glanced guiltily into the distance.

"This is a comparison of the two sides' foundations, similar to preaching and expounding the Dharma, but without using famous words. Instead, it is spread throughout the world, persuading people to convert invisibly and silently. It is very mysterious, just like when we go to listen to the patriarch preach."

"If we win, wouldn't we have to take all these girls into our household?"

Su Che was momentarily dazed. The girls in the Golden Wind and Jade Dew Pavilion were all just playing around. Could it be that Master Puxiang won and was going to invite them all to the Xuandu Palace?
"How could that be? They don't have any foundation. If they could directly pull out a group of cultivators, then why bother having the disciples cultivate? They could just send people to squat down and preach the Dharma every day, wouldn't that be enough? Unless there are really a few Dao seeds among them, at most they'll have enough spirit and energy to replenish their depleted innate energy." Ji Boyuan's expression tightened as he spoke.

At this moment, the gate of Jinfeng Yulu Tower opened again, but this time, one of the two people who entered was an acquaintance of Su Che.

A young Taoist boy, exquisitely beautiful, with a slight smile on his delicate face and two buns at the back of his head, entered cautiously after bowing respectfully towards the building. Beside him stood a young man in white robes, exuding an extraordinary aura, his eyes surveying his surroundings with an air of authority that commanded respect without anger.

Su Che didn't know where the young Taoist came from, but the white-robed young man was the daughter of the Dragon King of Qiantang, whom he had met once in the Yin-Yang Realm. Her name seemed to be Yun Luo.

"This is our enemy."

Ji Boyuan spoke cautiously beside Su Che.

"That kid is Mingwei of the Celestial Masters Sect. He attained the Divine Realm at the age of eleven, mastered the Elixir of Rejuvenation at sixteen, and had already stepped into the Void Step realm just over twenty. Everyone says he is a reincarnation of an ancient great being..."

As Ji Boyuan spoke, he glanced at Su Che again, as if there were rumors that the person in front of him was also a reincarnation of an ancient great power.

What's going on here? Are they all coming back in a bunch of people?
"Senior Brother Ji is still the same person who talks behind people's backs."

The young Taoist disciple of the Celestial Masters Sect showed no respect to Ji Boyuan and directly said, "This is Junior Brother Su of the Yellow Heaven Sect."

Being called "junior brother" by a little kid didn't feel good, but Su Che could only respond with a smile.

"In quiet contemplation, reflect upon your own faults; in idle conversation, refrain from discussing the shortcomings of others. Senior Brother Ji, didn't your masters of the Shenxiao Sect teach you this principle?"

Mingwei looked at Ji Boyuan, their expressions already tense.

"I don't argue with kids."

Ji Boyuan chuckled: "Junior Brother Su, this is Yun, the daughter of the Dragon King of Qiantang..."

“I met Young Master Su in the Yin-Yang Realm back then, so we are old acquaintances.”

Yunlu gently tapped the folding fan in her hand and slowly sat down not far from Su Che.

"Young Master Su, it's been a long time since we last met. You've accomplished quite a lot."

"Ashamed."

Su Che could only give an awkward smile.

"You're Su Che?"

Mingwei sat down directly on the futon next to Su Che.

"What are you Huang Tiandao up to this time?"

This little Taoist boy has such a bad temper.
