Chapter 66

Fayuan was about to take Zhitong and the others to Ciyun Temple, which was undoubtedly the best solution at the moment. After all, everyone shared the same desire for revenge for their master. Yue Qing did not want to really kill everyone here, causing a bloodbath. Although they had not formally left the Wutai Sect, it would inevitably leave hidden dangers in the future, but they could still be a significant force against the Emei Sect.

Fayuan bowed to Yue Qing and Xu Feiniang: "I also hope that the two of you can make the Wutai Sect flourish. Otherwise, I, the Golden Body Arhat, will have to return." After saying this, he threw his robe and walked out first, followed by Yude, Qinlang, and Mao Tai.

Zhitong glared at Yue Qing: "The green mountains remain, and the clear waters flow. We'll see how this turns out!"

Following closely, Tan Gan and Bai Xiao also left the Seven Stars Hall.

On the other side of the Taiyi Wuyan Luo, Shen Tong, the Three-Eyed Jun, and several others from the Huashan Sect, who were originally invited by Zhitong, mostly had good relations with the Wutai Sect. They thought they were just here to mediate and witness, but did not expect the two sides to come to blows. They had wanted to help Zhitong earlier but were blocked by the Taiyi Wuyan Luo, and were now extremely dissatisfied with Yue Qing. They stood up and looked at Yue Qing coldly: "We didn't expect you to be so unfeeling. After obtaining the Daoist book from the Mixed Yuan Ancestor, you drive away your fellow disciples..."

Zhao Jinzhen said sternly: "What more is there to say to people like them? Yue Qibin, Xu Feiniang! From now on, our two sects will have no more ties!" She pointed at Yang Li, Wei Kan, and the other junior disciples, "Be careful when you go to Shaanxi in the future!" After saying this, she also left, chasing after Fayuan and Zhitong.

Lin Yuan and Qian Xiao exchanged glances. They knew that with just the two of them, it would be difficult to gain any advantage today, so they also said their goodbyes and left.

Yue Qing asked Hu Shi and Sun Fu: "Can you abide by the sect's laws? If not, leave now."

Hu Shi and Sun Fu looked at each other, hesitating: "We can't fully do it, like not using the soul method..."

Yue Qing waved his hand: "Then leave now, so you don't regret it later when you are punished by your seniors."

Hu and Sun glanced at Xu Feiniang, who had a stern face and did not speak on their behalf. They were disappointed and left silently.

Yue Qing removed the Taiyi Wuyan Luo and looked at the empty row of seats, feeling very lonely.

Ling Lingzi, moved by the events of the day, consoled him: "Don't be sad, Daoist Yue. It's better to have a short pain than a long one. From today, the Wutai Sect will have strict laws and a new look, and it will surely flourish in the future!"

Yue Qing said: "Thank you for your kind words. I appreciate it." He waved for Xu Feiniang to lead the guests to their seats, "Today, the Wutai Sect is undergoing a transformation. You all are here to witness it."

Yue Qing announced that the Wutai Sect would no longer have a leader, like Wudang and Kunlun. He and Xu Feiniang would lead the male and female disciples respectively, while Liu Quan would oversee the daily management of the sect at the Seven Stars Palace. With the current small number of people, the disciples would all live here. Yang Li and Situ Ping would live in the Tian Shu Hall, Wei Kan in the Tian Quan Hall, and Lu Rongbo in the Tian Xuan Hall. Xu Feiniang would be based in the Huang Ji Hall, responsible for organizing the lost Daoist methods, collecting flying swords and magical treasures, and supervising the disciples' merits and demerits, as well as implementing rewards and punishments.

Yue Qing held the law book and had everyone come forward to receive the precepts. Xu Feiniang, with the highest cultivation, received nine heavenly precepts. Yue Qing and Liu Quan, who had not yet formed a yuan ying, along with Yang Li, who had just formed a golden core a few years ago, received 108 earthly precepts. Wei Kan and Situ Ping, who were still in the qi cultivation stage, received 365 precepts for scattered immortals. Lu Rongbo was a special case, as she had ascended with a yuan ying, similar to Xu Feiniang, but her real strength was much weaker. Since she was now recondensing the Taiyi Golden Core, she also received the earthly precepts.

After the precept ceremony, Yue Qing led everyone to the top of Beidai Mountain and entered the Beiji Immortal Palace: "I am going to activate the Tian Gong Furnace to refine treasures. This furnace is extraordinary and requires the help of eight daoists." Liu Buxu immediately stepped forward to offer help, but Yue Qing waved his hand, "I have already arranged for four people from the Kunlun Sect and four from the Wudang Sect to help me control the eight gates. Don't look so disappointed; you still have a big role to play. Our Wutai Sect has many experts, and although some have left, there is one truly powerful person who has not yet appeared. My senior sister and I have calculated that he is interested in the treasure in my furnace, and there will likely be some trouble when the treasure is completed. Therefore, I need you all to protect me for a hundred days."

Yue Qing arranged the people in the front hall, where Xu Feiniang and Liu Quan served tea and entertained the guests. He then took the eight people from the Kunlun and Wudang Sects into the back of the Hunyuan Hall. This was the forbidden area of the Wutai Sect, with the entrance sealed by a mass of Hunyuan True Qi, which only those who had mastered Hunyuan True Qi could open. Inside, the space was not large, more like a cave. In the center, there was a Hunyuan ball floating three feet above the ground, shining with the constellations, the Taiji Bagua, the River Chart, and the Luo Book, with countless stars floating and flickering.

Yue Qing had Zhifei Chan Master sit in the Qian position, Tianchi Shangren in the Kun position, both controlling the primordial, continuously inputting true qi into the Hunyuan ball. Zhong Xiansheng sat in the Li position, and Wei Shaoshao in the Kan position, controlling the post-primordial, adjusting the amount of true qi input according to Yue Qing's instructions. Yougen Chan Master controlled the Zhen position, Zhuge Ying the Xun position, Laodaoren the Gen position, and Suixin the Dui position, all needing to change their positions and spells as needed.

After teaching them the corresponding spells, Yue Qing entered the mountain's interior through the Ice Extreme Cave. He checked the materials in the Two Instruments Hall and the Eight Trigrams Hall, ensuring there were no mistakes, then landed above the central Taiji Hall and shot down Hunyuan True Qi. At the top, Zhifei Chan Master and Tianchi Shangren began to inject a massive amount of true qi into the Hunyuan ball, immediately filling the entire interior of the mountain with a misty, colorful light. Then Zhong Xiansheng ignited the fire, and Wei Shaoshao released the water. Yougen Chan Master activated the Zhen position thunder, and with a loud clap, everyone shot out their immortal qi toward the Hunyuan ball.

The Taiji Hall below Yue Qing shone brightly, and with a rumbling sound, the Two Instruments Hall began to rotate clockwise around the Taiji Hall. Streams of black and white yin and yang qi emerged and shot into the surrounding Eight Trigrams Halls. At the same time, the roots of the mountain began to glow, and boundless earth fire was drawn up, rising from the earth's crust, spreading to the entrance of the Ice Extreme Cave. The Hunyuan ball attracted the clear qi from the sky, pressing down the earth fire until it was level with the Taiji Hall. The two qi energies collided and rubbed against each other, generating countless thunder, rain, frost, hail, fog, clouds, and storms, which were absorbed by the Two Instruments Hall and the Eight Trigrams Hall as needed.

In the front hall of the Beiji Palace, Xu Feiniang directed the disciples to entertain the guests. Liu Quan, who was familiar with Mingyizi, was called over by him and introduced to the other three fellow disciples. They chatted and laughed together, while Xu Feiniang mainly entertained the two from the Laoshan Sect. Tian Lingzi asked for a quiet room to meditate alone. As for Liu Buxuan and Liu Buxu, they were considered half-family, one went outside to enjoy the mountain scenery, and the other joked with Situ Ping.

The days passed peacefully until the hundredth day, with no sign of Sikuang Zhan. Sitai Xu did not want to get involved in the conflict between the two sects and repeatedly urged his senior brother to leave, but was always vetoed by Wu Li. Later, his disciple Gan Shen Zhu came, saying that the Iron Palm Immortal Zhu E on Laoshan had offended the Wing Daoist Geng Kun from the Iron Flute Gorge in the East Sea, who had brought the East Sea water to flood Laoshan. The three women living in the White Cloud Cave were desperately fighting to hold back the water.

Sitai Xu became anxious, and Wu Li could no longer stay. He had to say goodbye to Xu Feiniang and Liu Quan, and they returned to Laoshan to fight Geng Kun. Wu Li was full of regret, and Xu Feiniang said it was no problem, adding: "If that Wing Daoist is too aggressive, you can send a flying sword message, and the Wutai Sect will not stand idly by!" Wu Li was deeply ashamed and left with his junior brother.

In no time, it was the hundredth day to open the furnace. The eight people in the Hunyuan Hall gradually stopped sending their powers. Yue Qing lowered the earth fire to a hundred meters below and gathered the clear qi into the two mystic points on either side of the Ice Extreme Cave, then opened the furnace's seal.

This time, the refining of the treasure gathered the clear and turbid qi of heaven and earth, the yin and yang of the Taiji, and the five elements and eight trigrams. After being refined in the furnace, it formed extremely pure five-element qi. When the furnace door opened, the qi met the outside air and immediately transformed into countless five-element thunder pearls, rushing out. The eight people in the Hunyuan Hall used their powers to transport the thunder pearls outside.

The dark green Jia Wood God Thunder, the light green Yi Wood God Thunder, the dark red Bing Fire God Thunder, the silver-red Ding Fire God Thunder, the black-brown Wu Earth God Thunder, the light yellow Ji Earth God Thunder, the bright white Geng Metal God Thunder, the blue-silver Xin Metal God Thunder, the pitch-black Gui Water God Thunder, and the transparent Ren Water God Thunder, under the sunlight, displayed a myriad of colors, thousands upon thousands, gushing out like a geyser from the ten-thousand-year ice cave.
