A life of clearness

Chapter 609 Jade Slips
"How is it impossible?" Wansheng Daojun glared and said sternly, "Whom the Lord wants to promote can be seen from the appointment alone. It has always been like this. I know that Yan Lu should be the leader, but did the Lord choose her? No! This is a clear signal that you and I can show our talents on this trip. I have worked for the Lord for so many years, don't you understand this?"

Is that so? King Jin was a little skeptical.

The Buddha Lord had once given him private instruction. At that time, the Lord made it clear that he knew that Prince Jin was a martial arts fanatic and that the Buddha Tower would focus on exploring his talent in martial arts, but other aspects of Prince Jin... would not be considered.

Such direct words might make others feel uncomfortable, but it was just right for King Jin. He immediately accepted the arrangement made by the Buddha Lord.

Prince Jin just doesn't like to think about things other than martial arts, so he often gives people the feeling that he is missing a thread.

However, Taoist Wansheng spoke so confidently that although King Jin disagreed in his heart, he was too lazy to explain the previous situation to Wansheng.

"What is Daojun going to do?"

"Haha, it's just a small demon, it's not difficult. But how to give him a warning and who should give it a warning, this is the key. I didn't mention the origin and ability of the sea eagle in front of everyone before, and other families can only rely on their own channels to find out. But no matter how much they find out, can they find out everything that is recorded in the jade slip given by the master?" Wansheng Daojun flipped his hand and threw a black jade slip to King Jin. "This is just the first step of preparation. Your Highness just needs to stay in good condition and fight with the sea eagle. The rest of the preparations will be made by me."

King Jin's spiritual consciousness entered the jade slip and quickly browsed the information in it. The more he read, the stronger the fighting spirit in his eyes.

The Sea Eagle was a pure Eastern Heaven demon cultivator, and was definitely not comparable to those brainless demon beasts of the Northern Heaven. King Jin had never experienced a battle with a real demon cultivator, and even if Dao Lord Wan Sheng hadn't mentioned it, King Jin would have been unable to resist and would have taken the initiative to challenge him.

"Got it. Anything else?"

"No. Your Highness, please go and prepare yourself."

Taoist Wansheng was unhappy when he saw Prince Jin leaving decisively, but he knew Prince Jin's temper well, so he appeared calm.

He chose King Jin because he had little foundation in the Buddha Tower and was the best person to win over. He placed a bet in advance, and when King Jin became a Taoist, plus the current support, he would have a right-hand man in the Buddha Tower.

The pagoda seemed calm on the surface, but inside, there were many intrigues and scheming. Wan Sheng acted arrogantly because he claimed to be trusted by the Buddha Lord, and he also supported many monks as his minions, but how could he consolidate his power better than supporting a Taoist master as his ally?

As long as the previous princes did not die, becoming a Dao Zun was a sure thing, and many became Dao Jun. Before Rong Qing appeared, Yuan Cheng and Prince Jin had always been the biggest favorites in the sequence war, and the possibility of Prince Jin becoming a Dao Jun in the future was very high.

Besides, Prince Jin is not very smart, so this way he can take more initiative.

Daoist Master Wansheng took out another black jade slip from his sleeve and smiled with some pride. The jade slip in his hand was the real one. The one he had just given to King Jin could not be said to be fake. However, it was a new jade slip that Wansheng had erased some of the content and only kept the information about the sea eagle's cultivation. It did not mention the nature of the sea eagle at all.

This was his second step of preparation.

Wan Sheng's powerful spiritual sense extended out, and being granted partial control power, he had more freedom than others in exerting his spiritual sense.

Taoist Wansheng clearly extended his spiritual sense to the outside of a certain door. After confirming that the person in the room was in normal condition and the restrictions outside the door had not been touched, he quickly withdrew his spiritual sense.

……

Not far from the residence of Wansheng Daojun is the residence of Yanlu Daojun. The residence of the people in the pagoda naturally occupies the core position of the Fengshenzhou. Even if Wansheng Daojun dislikes Yanlu Daojun, there is no reason to drive her away.

Daojun Yanlu has been silent since she came to Fengshenzhou. Except for the time she showed up when everyone gathered at the beginning, she has stayed indoors ever since. Although she stays indoors, others can still visit her.

The first group to visit were Yu Yu and his friends, and no one knew what they talked about. Yuan Cheng and his friends were the second group to come.

The woman sitting in front of the dressing table looked no more than 30 years old, with a calm and gentle temperament. The face reflected in the mirror was clean and beautiful, but her eyes occasionally revealed a bit of vicissitudes.

In terms of real age, she is much older than Wansheng Daojun. In terms of seniority, she even experienced the battle between Beitian and Dongtian. It's just that she is low-key and has a good temper, so she allows Wansheng Daojun to jump around like this.

The Donglin Sect had sent a visiting card before, so she was not surprised to sense the arrival of the person outside the door. Daojun Yanlu adjusted her skirt and stood up to go out to greet them.

Yuan Cheng, Rong Qing, and two Dao Masters from the Donglin Sect were also traveling with them.

The two Taoist masters of the Donglin Sect are a Taoist couple. They have worked with Taoist Master Yanlu before, so they came together to visit this time.

Of course, the first thing they did was to talk to Taoist Master Yanlu about the past. Yanlu knew what they were here for, so he took the initiative to bring the topic to the issue that they were most concerned about after talking for a while.

"If you hadn't mentioned it, these events would have seemed so long ago as if they were from my past life." Yan Lu laughed at himself, "I have been devoted to cultivation in the pagoda these years and have hardly taken care of anything. The Lord is so generous that he still remembered me for such a good thing. I am different from Wan Sheng. I don't have the desire to be in the limelight. I just want to receive that junior safely and then return to the Lord Realm to report safely."

"Yanlu, you are mistaking this for what you think." Donglin Sect's wandering official shook his head in disapproval, "Everything the Lord says and does has a purpose. He didn't allow other Daojuns to come but only asked you to come because he values ​​your upright style and thorough conduct. Others can't even ask for such a good thing. Didn't you see how arrogant Wansheng was when he was successful? Everyone knows that he and King Jin have a favor to promote each other, so logically, he shouldn't be the one to take charge of the situation. The Lord asked you to come because he wanted you to dominate the situation."

Yan Lu did not respond, but simply said: "We are all working for the Honorable Master, there is no need to compete with each other. I just want to do the things the Honorable Master has asked me to do well, and I will be satisfied if I can live up to the Honorable Master's expectations."

The Donglin Sect leader immediately said, "Yanlu, if you need anything, just call us. Although we are not many in number, we are efficient, and these two juniors also need experience."

Yan Lu smiled and said, "It's just a junior, why do you all look like you're facing a great enemy? I've sent many visiting cards these days. But..." She looked at Rong Qing, "It's been a long time since the Eastern Heaven Demon Cultivator appeared in front of the Northern Heaven Cultivator. Your Highnesses are eager to fight, and I can completely understand your feelings. When Your Highness Yu Rong broke through the ninth level, I was still in seclusion and never visited the Ten Thousand Dharma Stele Forest in person, but your words 'As long as the cultivator of the same level invites you to fight, I will not refuse' were widely circulated. When I heard it, I was also very excited and can't forget it."

Facing Yan Lu's smiling eyes, Rong Qing said shyly, "I'm sorry to make you laugh. I have average talent and I lost more than I won in my early years of practice. I can only think of this way to motivate myself to improve. Winning or losing doesn't matter."

"It is rare for Your Highness to have such a determination. Who can always win? Even when the Lord was insignificant, he lost more than he won. He relied on his spirit in martial arts to reach the position of the Lord that all cultivators submit to. Our Northern Heaven's Prodigy wants to challenge him, and the Eastern Heaven's Prodigy actually wants the same thing. Even if we don't take the initiative to challenge him, he will still challenge you. The first one, if I'm not mistaken, is you, Your Highness Yu Rong."

Rong Qing: “Huh?”

"The Forest of All Dharma Steles is not only open to us Northern Heaven cultivators." Daoist Master Yan Lu said with a smile, "Western Heaven, Southern Heaven, and some Heavenly Gates that are friendly with us can send cultivators to comprehend the Dao Steles. And these forces are not incompatible with Eastern Heaven. Therefore, what His Highness Yu Rong said is not only spread in Northern Heaven, but also heard by the geniuses in other places. Of course, I guess that the reason why Hai Jiu first wanted to challenge Your Highness is not entirely because of this sentence."

Taoist Yanlu took out a black jade slip from his sleeve.

For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on this jade slip.

"Wan Sheng deliberately didn't mention any information about the Sea Eagle to you. In fact, the jade slip that the Lord gave me has collected all the information about the Sea Eagle. I made this judgment based on the Sea Eagle's character from his words and deeds."

Taoist Yanlu smiled and gently threw out the jade slip, which floated in front of Rong Qing.
