The conflicts between the disciples of the two sects did not affect Ding Yue much. First, his status was clear; he had entered the sect early!
Furthermore, Ding Yue had good interpersonal relationships. Whether it was the截教 (Jie Jiao) or the阐教 (Chan Jiao), he had a few good friends. They often discussed profound doctrines and drank tea together!
This was also a deliberate move by Ding Yue, who made friends with everyone. Even with the old寿星 (Shouxing) who had a grudge against him, they appeared to be on good terms when they met, and those who didn't know might think they were very friendly.
Moreover, Ding Yue had been cultivating for a long time. Among the many disciples, there were indeed not many who had cultivated for thousands of years. Although Ding Yue's talent was poor and he was at the bottom among the disciples, he was still a well-deserved veteran Immortal, with profound magical powers, ranking high among the disciples.
His talent was indeed poor, but his realm was clear. Fighting didn't rely on talent; who was afraid of whom?
Furthermore, after Guangchengzi and a few Chan Jiao disciples made things difficult for Ding Yue, and Ding Yue called dozens of Jie Jiao disciples to block Guangchengzi's door for three days, no one dared to underestimate him anymore.
The disciples Ding Yue called were not ordinary Jie Jiao disciples; the lowest rank was Heavenly Immortal, and among them were over ten inner disciples, each with profound magical powers. This directly prevented Guangchengzi from leaving his door. He couldn't fight, and the Chan Jiao disciples who were close to Ding Yue didn't come to help. Guangchengzi could only accept his defeat.
Ding Yue had a few good friends in the Chan Jiao, such as Yunzhongzi and Lingbao Dafashi, both famous for their alchemy in later generations. Ding Yue often discussed alchemy with them, and they shared common interests, making their relationship the best.
There were also Taiyi Zhenren, Cihang Daoren, and Huanglong Zhenren. Ding Yue had a good impression of them, influenced by later generations, and they got along well!
Moreover, Ding Yue's relationship with Xuandu Dafashi was also very good. He often brought tea to ask Dafashi about alchemy, and after a few times, they became very familiar.
Xuandu Dafashi was also the mediator of the conflicts between the Chan Jiao and Jie Jiao, with a special status as Laojun's only disciple. Even if one didn't respect the monk, one had to respect the Buddha!
When Ding Yue led people to block the door, it wasn't as Guangchengzi imagined; he directly closed the door to refine elixirs, making the Chan Jiao disciple who came to call very embarrassed, saying he would never do it again!
A thousand years passed quickly. Besides helping when he met good friends, Ding Yue calmly watched the conflicts between the two sects grow larger.
There were a few times when the conflicts were particularly large, with nearly a hundred people fighting, causing a mess and drawing the punishment of the Three Pure Ones, each receiving thirty lashes!
One day, while Ding Yue was discussing doctrines with Jin Gu Xian, Yunzhongzi, and Lingbao Dafashi in a pavilion, he suddenly felt the sky tighten. It seemed that the Kunlun Peak was filled with roaring and arguing voices. Although he couldn't hear clearly, the boundless, deep, and vast aura leaking out made Ding Yue and the others feel a deep tremor from within!
They exchanged glances and silently returned to their respective places.
That day, the disciples of the three sects all felt a different aura. There was a very oppressive atmosphere on Kunlun Mountain, making many disciples walk cautiously!
This also reduced many conflicts!
Three months passed, and Kunlun Peak often emitted faint arguing voices, and the boundless aura occasionally leaked out, making many disciples feel as if they were under a sharp blade, with a sense of being threatened!
Even the usually gentle Duobao Daoren often appeared on the mountain where the Jie Jiao disciples lived, with a stern face, patrolling. When he encountered some rash disciples, he would scold them and impose severe punishments!
But such days didn't last long!
One day, the boundless aura on Kunlun Mountain suddenly disappeared without a trace.
"Jie Jiao disciples, pack your belongings!"
The clear and cold voice of the sect leader echoed for thousands of miles around Kunlun Mountain, making many Jie Jiao disciples stand at attention and quickly pack their things!
A moment later, the tall figure of the sect leader appeared in the sky over Kunlun Mountain, with four major disciples behind him!
Seeing this, the many disciples quickly lined up behind the sect leader in order.
Finally, the sect leader silently looked at the majestic Kunlun Mountain, waved his sleeve, and the disciples felt a world-shaking sensation, unable to resist, and everything went dark.
"Let's go!" The sect leader sighed, a seven-colored auspicious cloud appearing under his feet, with the four major disciples behind him.
The seven-colored cloud moved, and the sect leader and the four major disciples turned into a beam of light and disappeared into the horizon.
The direction was east!
"Ah~ Billions of years of brotherhood! I will also leave!" A light sigh echoed from Kunlun Peak, and then Laojun, with Dafashi, stepped onto the seven-colored cloud and left Kunlun Mountain, disappearing!
Kunlun Mountain returned to peace but remained somewhat oppressive. After a long time, a faint sigh seemed to appear, but it was not very clear!
When Ding Yue opened his eyes again, he found himself on a large island spanning hundreds of thousands of miles. The island was filled with spiritual energy, with colorful light, towering mountains, scattered rocks, and countless rare flowers and exotic beasts!
This large island far surpassed Ding Yue's Potala Island, on a different level.
Of course, as the Daoist venue of a Sage, how could it be inferior? Ding Yue naturally understood and was not surprised!
But the other disciples were somewhat bewildered.
"This is Jie Jiao Island, which will be the new venue for the Jie Jiao!" The sect leader's clear and cold voice echoed, and a simple yet grand palace landed on the highest peak of the island. Upon closer inspection, the plaque on the palace read: "Biyu Palace"!
After the sect leader finished speaking, he entered the Biyu Palace and closed the door, no longer making any sound!
Next, the eldest disciple took charge, briefly explaining the situation and allowing the disciples to find their own caves to live in!
The four major disciples' caves were built on the four peaks surrounding the Biyu Palace, closest to it. Then, the many inner disciples quietly found their own caves around the palace.
Ding Yue chose a peak to the south of the Biyu Palace. This mountain had water, valleys, and a waterfall that dropped three thousand feet, with a beautiful view!
Next to him were the caves of Wuyun Xian and Caiyun Xianzi!
Although there were naturally formed caves on the mountain, Ding Yue preferred houses, so he built a wooden house and a pavilion!
The Three Pure Ones split, but life went on. Ding Yue remained at the Immortal level, although his Daoist cultivation had increased, he still felt a significant gap to the Golden Immortal level!
The sect leader's lectures, which used to be every hundred years, became every five hundred years. The sect leader usually stayed in the Biyu Palace for meditation, and it was hard to see him!
Not long after, Zhao Gongming and the Three Xiao successively achieved the Daoist fruit and became Golden Immortals. The Jie Jiao disciples celebrated, and even the sect leader, who rarely smiled, bestowed magical treasures.
Ding Yue thus had the chance to see famous treasures like the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl and the Primordial Golden Cauldron, feeling the charm of the famous treasures of later generations.
In the following years, it seemed like a market, and within a thousand years, several more disciples achieved the Golden Immortal level, such as Chang'er Dingguang Xian, Wuyun Xian, and Yuyi Xian.
Even Luo Xuan achieved the Golden Immortal level first, living a carefree life!
Ding Yue felt the pressure. After another ten years of meditation, he informed Duobao Daoren and left Jie Jiao Island.
Ding Yue first went to Wuyi Mountain, stayed for a hundred years, and taught the creatures in the mountain Daoist principles before returning to the East Sea.
But Ding Yue did not return to Jie Jiao Island; instead, he came to a desolate sea area.
Ding Yue quickly found his goal. With just a light step, he disappeared from the spot.
Ding Yue returned to a place filled with white mist, where he couldn't distinguish directions.
Now, re-entering this great array, Ding Yue was no longer the same. After two thousand years under the sect leader, his array skills were superior to all other immortals, and he was no longer as lost as the first time.
Re-entering this place, Ding Yue was calm and composed, carefully investigating and analyzing.
Not long after, Ding Yue disappeared again, appearing in a place filled with gray mist, where it was hard to distinguish directions, and even his five senses seemed to be sealed.
After two hundred years, Ding Yue disappeared again, appearing in a vast void, where everything was empty, and his five senses were lost, unable to hear or move.
Ding Yue's brows furrowed, his gaze heavy!
After another five hundred years, Ding Yue's furrowed brows slowly relaxed, his expression returning to calm, and he smiled composedly.
Ding Yue disappeared again, but this time, he appeared in a forest with beautiful scenery and the sound of birds and flowers.
Ding Yue flew up and looked around. Three large islands, each spanning tens of thousands of miles, were arranged in a trinity formation. Pale gray gas floated around, and the ground was not a primordial spiritual vein but a type of spiritual vein Ding Yue had never seen before.
A chaotic spiritual vein!
In the East Sea, there were three immortal islands: Penglai, Fangzhang, and Yingzhou!
These three immortal islands had many legends. Today, Ding Yue finally entered, and he was the first cultivator to do so!
A great opportunity!
First, he searched the island where he was, pulling up rare flowers and plants, collecting natural treasures, and even finding three primordial spiritual roots.
Qingqiong Wood, a high-grade spiritual root, deep blue in color, towering thousands of feet high, with a canopy spanning ten thousand feet, lush and verdant!
Lianxin Shenming Flower, a medium-grade spiritual root, with two purple-blue flowers growing together, the flower centers dancing like a man and a woman, emitting brilliant divine light!
Han Shuang Xue Mei, a low-grade spiritual root, maturing every three hundred years!
Not long after, Ding Yue came to the center of the island and saw a fairy pool on the highest peak, spanning about ten feet, with clear water and rising fairy qi, forming various scenes!
"Is this the Fairy Pool? Let me be the first to become a fairy!" After investigating, Ding Yue suppressed his joy, took off his clothes, and slowly entered the Fairy Pool.
The water was not deep, about two meters deep!
Ding Yue sank to the bottom and sat cross-legged.
Instantly, the Fairy Pool boiled, and streams of water washed over Ding Yue's body, and mysterious energies entered his body.
Ding Yue's body couldn't help but tremble, his face contorted in pain!
His body underwent a tremendous transformation, his Upper Qing magical power becoming purer, and his constitution constantly changing due to the mysterious energy.
Ten years later, a light cry echoed from the Fairy Pool, and a figure shot up into the sky.
The clothes on the ground moved with the wind and were back on Ding Yue's body. At this moment, Ding Yue's aura had changed, exuding a heroic presence!
Ding Yue couldn't contain his joy, letting out a long cry. This was his great opportunity!
