Building a sect from scratch.

Chapter 520 Qiankun Sect

The Taiyin Sect was making intensive preparations to attack the Taiyi Qiankun Sect, while the Qiankun Sect's headquarters were completely unaware of this.

Although everyone had heard of the Taiyin Sect, however…

"The Central Continent is vast and rich in resources. Every few years, all sorts of small sects emerge and then disappear without a trace... I heard they wiped out the Ziwei Sect? They really have some skill. Once the Ancestor comes out of seclusion, he can take back Rongyu Mountain!"

In front of the spacious Qiankun Hall, an elderly man with a white beard and an otherworldly appearance slowly paced back and forth, talking to a man and a woman beside him.

The female cultivator hesitated and said, "But...but I heard they've recently clashed with the Misty Immortal Sect. Shouldn't we just ignore it?"

"The Misty Immortal Sect? They're really like newborn calves that aren't afraid of tigers!"

The old man pondered for a moment before stroking his beard and saying, "The Misty Golden Immortal Sect is not easy to deal with. It is a newly emerged sect and too hasty. I originally wanted to wait a few more years... Well, either the Taiyin Sect or the Misty Immortal Sect will suffer a defeat, which will benefit my Qiankun Sect."

The female cultivator respectfully replied, "Master is right."

Afterwards, the female cultivator took the initiative to ask questions about cultivation, and the three of them never mentioned the Taiyin Sect again.

This is not hard to understand. Although the Taiyin Sect has been very high-profile recently, news in the cultivation world is always slow. Often, it takes three to five years for the news of a sect being wiped out to spread.

Therefore, the major events of the Taiyin Sect first destroying the Ziwei Sect and then the Piaomiao Immortal Sect were not spread at all. Even the Qiankun Sect only learned of the destruction of the Ziwei Sect because they all came from the same origin and were located in the Central Continent, and had occasional contact. As for the events of the Piaomiao Immortal Sect, they had not spread at all, so it is no wonder that the people of the Taiyi Qiankun Sect were completely unaware of them.

More importantly, nobody considered the Taiyin Sect to be capable of achieving anything!
The Taiyi Qiankun Sect has stood proudly in the Central Continent for hundreds of years. Including the old Taiyi Sect, that's a legacy of thousands of years. Why would they care about a sect that has only been established for less than a year?

Even if there's some kind of deity behind them, they're nothing special in the eyes of the Taiyi Qiankun Sect, which has worshipped the Supreme God Taiyi for thousands of years. After all, no matter how powerful a newly enlightened deity is, their strength and cultivation can't possibly match that of a god like the Supreme God Taiyi, who has existed since ancient times. Surely your Taiyin Sect doesn't also have a god from ancient times behind it, right?
Don't be ridiculous! Everyone knows the ancient gods perished and disappeared long ago!

The Immortal Wende has been in a very good mood lately.

The sect leader of the Taiyi Qiankun Sect went into seclusion due to the impending tribulation of lightning, making him one of the most senior elders in the sect. Another Golden Immortal elder with a higher cultivation level than him was not in the sect for many years, so he took over the Qiankun Sect as the acting sect leader.

Of course, he had no ambition to take over, after all, the sect leader was a Golden Immortal, not someone he, a mere elder who had only recently attained immortality, could contend with.

However, he felt incredibly good about being the only one in the entire sect, and his direct disciples also rose in status, especially his eldest disciple Wei Mao and his newly accepted junior disciple Chang Jin.

Wei Mao had followed him for many years. Known as the True Man of the Mysterious Tiger, he was a man of few words, rigid and stubborn. Sometimes he was so righteous that people were helpless, and sometimes he was so cold-hearted that people were frightened.

However, Wei Mao was very useful in teaching other disciples how to cultivate. After Wende Immortal took power, he immediately promoted him to one of the elders who passed on his skills.

The youngest disciple, Chang Jin, had only been under his tutelage for a few months. Although she was of average talent and had a low cultivation level, having only recently reached the Foundation Establishment stage, she was still respected as "Fairy Chang Jin" because of her sweet talk and the fact that she was the disciple of the acting sect leader, Immortal Wende.

Although Chang Jin had many ulterior motives, she was quite intelligent and far better at handling interpersonal relationships than Wei Mao. She was also very beautiful, so the Immortal Wende often took her along. The Immortal Wende's favorite place was in front of the spacious Qiankun Hall, paved entirely with gold bricks. A jade-carved railing enclosed two ponds filled with exquisitely beautiful Moon-Reflecting Lotuses, cultivated by magic and perpetually in full bloom. Ordinary disciples were not qualified to enter this place; even the disciples standing guard in front of the hall were inner disciples.

Strolling here, the Immortal Wende always felt a sense of looking down upon the Central Continent, as if he controlled the heavens and earth and all things bowed down to him.

As the three were chatting, a disciple suddenly flew over and bowed with a strange expression, saying, "Reporting—Elder! A lot of flying boats have suddenly arrived outside Qiankun Mountain! There are more than a dozen of them! What is their banner, 'Taiyin Sect'!"

Immortal Wende frowned: "Taiyin Sect? What are they doing here? Even if they wanted to pay a visit, why didn't they send an invitation?"

Fairy Changjin hurriedly said with a smile, "Could it be that you've come to apologize because of the Ziwei Sect? If it were a normal visit, why would you send more than a dozen flying boats? It's probably because you brought these gifts that your kind master doesn't hold it against them!"

"Um……"

The Immortal Wende's expression softened slightly, and he stroked his beard, saying, "You've moved quickly, but you're from a small sect. You're really presumptuous, coming here so rashly without even inviting a guest to act as an intermediary!"

As he spoke, he followed the disciple who had brought the message, rising into the clouds and flying away. He continued, "If they know what's good for them, they should hand over the entire Rongyu Mountain area. I remember there seem to be several spirit mines there."

After speaking, he turned his head to look at Wei Mao, his face showing a questioning expression.

Wei Mao nodded and said succinctly, "Yes."

"Well, that was originally the private property of my Taiyi Sect. It is only right that we take it back now... But the Tianji Sect... Alas, it's a real pity. Because of the changes back then, the Tianji Sect still refuses to associate with our Qiankun Sect. Otherwise, our three sects would have been united long ago. Then, how could the Penglai Sect and the Misty Immortal Sect have a say in the Ten Continents and Three Islands!"

Taking the opportunity, Chang Jin asked, "Master, Master, what exactly happened back then? Why did the Taiyi Sect split into three sects?"

"It cannot be spoken of... Even if he has passed away, he is still the former sect leader, so we must be careful what we say. Just know that there is no right or wrong in this matter, it is just a matter of time and fate, and what is at its peak must decline!"

Chang Jin's eyes widened: "So our Taiyi Qiankun Sect is so powerful, yet it's considered weak now!?"

"Hehehe... What is this now? Back when the Taiyi Sect still existed, who in the Ten Continents and Three Islands didn't respect and fear it! Even the Flood Dragon Clan and the Quanxian Clan revered the Taiyi Sect as the number one among humankind! But times have changed... Alas..."

Amidst their chatter, the group flew to the outside of the mountain gate and indeed saw many flying boats hovering in the distance, with more flying boats even heading this way one after another!

However, what Wende Immortal found very strange was—

"Why do all these flying boats look so disjointed? Is the Taiyin Sect so stingy even when they come to apologize?"

Fairy Changjin said, "It's just a newly established small sect, not worthy of being mentioned. It's definitely not comparable to our Taiyi Qiankun Sect!"
