Wet viviparity

Chapter 914 Familiarity, Treasure Hunt Trial
Article 11 of the charter cannot be taken too seriously.

In this provision, the spiritual funds exchanged for precious coins are not directly given to the existing spiritual materials and treasures. Instead, according to the progress of the "Reconstruction Plan," they are directly paid by the public treasury to the large workshops certified by the Spirit Court.

If this clause is passed, it would be equivalent to using the money from various sects to support Taipingshan's own religious assets, thus allowing Taipingshan to establish a huge advantage in religious assets. Ambitious sects would naturally strongly oppose this eleventh clause.

Everyone understands that all the rules and regulations in this Taipingshan Grand Council are designed to control the lifelines of each sect, but this direct control without any embellishment is unacceptable to the sects.

However, Lingxuzi's leniency regarding the supervisory mission gave them some hope. Once the mission was established, there would be opportunities to reject or amend Article 11. But the three seats and the rule of changing seats every hundred years undoubtedly brought uncertainty to whether the supervisory mission could successfully fulfill its function.

As everyone can foresee, once this mission is established, Taipingshan will inevitably sow discord among them, causing it to fall apart.

"Three people are too few, at least five."

Mr. Guchen spoke up.

Venerable Huofeng said, “The eleventh clause in the charter must be cancelled. We have already paid the annual interest, so the spiritual resources and materials exchanged for the precious money should be used by ourselves. Where in the world is there any reason for someone to have their own money but not be able to control it entirely?”

"Are there other families in Tiannan who have done this good deed?"

Wen Daoyu's face was frosty as he said to Venerable Huofeng, "If you are dissatisfied, you can go to the Yellow Court Palace in the Central Plains or the True Spirit Sect in Baoguang Prefecture and see if they are willing to give you talismans, money, and precious materials, and if they are willing to let you use them yourself without any interference."

Mi Posuo laughed out loud, pointing at Venerable Huofeng and mocking him without any politeness: "The cloud camel boat that passed through Pingding Mountain in the Southern Wilderness last time lost contact unexpectedly. Among them was a large amount of reconstruction spiritual funds sent to Xiaozhu Golden Court. Now there is progress on this matter."

Among that band of thieves were demons from the Southern Wilderness. Your Tianteng Mountain, which claims to be the master of the Southern Wilderness, has not even guarded its own territory, allowing demons to come and wreak havoc. Shouldn't a clause be added to this agreement—that our sect send disciples to reside in the Southern Wilderness to ensure the safe transfer of spiritual resources?”

Venerable Huofeng was furious upon hearing this. A red cloud rolled above his head, occasionally accompanied by the sound of thunder and the flash of lightning.

On the other side, upon hearing this, Man Shenying's indigo face darkened. Everyone knew that at Danmeng Lingchi, the current site of the Yunyu Temple, elite disciples of Taiping Mountain, led by the Three Officials, were stationed, which made them dare not act rashly.

Compared to other sects, the Yunyu Temple, which is currently leaderless and on the verge of collapse, undoubtedly needs this assistance and support more than any other sect.

Man Shenying's elder sister, disciples, and former subordinates were all killed in the great calamity. The culprit was right in front of him, but he could not dwell on it at the moment. He had to hide his murderous intent and pretend to be calm and collected after the calamity was over.

He was so restrained, but he couldn't help but look at Lingxu Xiaosheng, wanting to see if Lingxuzi would show any smugness when he saw a fierce god like himself, so patient and pathetic in front of him. But he found that Lingxu Xiaosheng never even glanced at him.

Although Venerable Huofeng was angry, he managed to restrain his anger.

Just as the two sides were deadlocked, Ji Ming spoke up: "Why don't we invite the immortals and gods of the Spirit Court to descend to the mortal realm to discuss this? From now on, all the affairs and disputes in Tiannan will be under the judgment of the Spirit Court. Why don't we have a meeting today?"

"No!"

Mr. Guchen stopped him from speaking, knowing that the establishment of the Spirit Court was entirely handled by the patriarchs of Taiping Mountain, and that when the immortals and gods came down, they would definitely show favoritism.

"Why not."

The speaker this time was Prince Linghan of Jinbi Water Palace.

He knew what Mr. Guchen was thinking, but at the same time he understood that Mr. Guchen's foundation was not deep and he knew nothing about the situation in the heavens. He was still using the convoluted methods of human cultivators to speculate about the immortals in the heavens.

The immortals and gods in Lingting were invited by Taiping Mountain, but are these immortals and gods really obedient to Taiping Mountain?

Not to mention that those immortals and gods are all those who have attained enlightenment through countless tribulations, and are all people of high moral character and strong spirit, who are difficult to manipulate.

The fact that they come from the Thunder and Fighting Divisions and Tonghua Palace shows that they are not easily bribed. If the judgment is biased in the future, the Heavenly Laws will not be a mere formality.

Then, both Tianteng Mountain and Yunyu Temple nodded in agreement. Mr. Guchen also knew there must be a reason behind this, so he changed his mind and nodded. With no objections from the crowd, Zhang Xiaoyuan randomly took out a plaque and threw it into the air. Soon, six balls of spiritual light emerged from the platform like a sudden spring, each displaying a different image: a human figure, a bird figure, and a natural scene.

Of the six forms, two come from the Thunder Department, two from the Southern Dipper, one from the Tonghua Palace, and one from the Qinghua Palace.

Two figures from the Thunder Department stood in the center. The yellow bird-like figure spoke with a crackling electronic sound, declaring decisively, "Since there is a dispute, it should be resolved through legal discussion!"

The figure from the Thunder Department said, "The purpose of this grand council is to devise a sound strategy. The contest should not involve bloodshed. You must devise a proper method for the contest."

The cabinet members all looked at the leaders of the various sects, knowing that the other side must have come prepared for this incident.

As expected, Mr. Guchen said without any attempt to hide his intentions: "When I came here this time, I happened to meet an immortal and obtained three trial rules from him. If I can accept them, my Nanmu Divine Mountain will have no objection to Article 11 of the regulations, including the proposal of the supervisory delegation."

"Three is too many, one is enough."

As Ji Ming spoke, he observed the reactions of the others. Clearly, the various sects had already discussed and agreed upon these three trial methods in advance.

"good."

Among the two figures of the Southern Dipper, the one that appeared as a celestial being with starlight said, "The Great Council has many trivial matters and heavy responsibilities. Three trials are too many; one is enough."

Sitting next to Venerable Huofeng, Zhu Tao touched his newly reattached treasure chest, his expression slightly changing.

"Ha ha!"

As the leaders of the various sects showed their ugly expressions, Ji Ming suddenly laughed and said, "Since the third test is what you have been planning so carefully, then I will show some mercy and allow you to add another condition, how about we settle on the second test?"

"Your Holiness has mercy!"

Wen Daoyu immediately praised.

The figure from Lei Bu also spoke up in praise, "Such benevolence and kindness are truly a blessing for the south and for heaven and earth."

Ji Ming had initially enjoyed Wen Daoyu's flattery, but when he heard the Thunder Department immortal praising him so blatantly, he couldn't stand it anymore. The flattery made his hair stand on end. Even though he had many collaborations with this Thunder Department immortal in private, the flattery was just too blatant.

Mr. Guchen still wanted to try, but no one present spoke up. The immortals and gods simply ignored his efforts and decided to hold a second trial.

"Well."

Mr. Guchen dispelled the restlessness in his heart and used his profound wisdom to cut off distracting thoughts, saying, "Then let's begin the first trial: treasure hunting in the Dragon Palace."

This test requires placing a Peace Coin in one of the 3,682 treasure rooms in the Dragon Palace of the East Sea. The Little Sage can designate someone to place the coin, and our competition is to find the coin in one of the 3,682 treasure rooms.

If Xiao Sheng has any doubts or additional conditions, I can agree to them.

"No need."

Ji Ming refused outright, and under everyone's gaze, he smiled and said, "I'm quite familiar with the East Sea Dragon Palace."

Silence fell over the Xunfeng Platform. As the leaders of the various sects exchanged glances, a cloud of doubt began to rise.

The East Sea Dragon Palace was founded by Huanglong Xian, one of Huang Tian's four direct disciples, and later further developed and expanded by Prince Gunlong. It is revered by all the water immortals in the rivers and seas. The palace is full of palaces and strict restrictions. Lingxuzi has only been cultivating for a hundred years, so how could he be familiar with the word "familiar"?
