Cloud and Mist Peak.
Ten thousand miles of sea of clouds, the scenery stirred.
The phallic breath swept across the six, stirring 40,000 miles, enveloping a thousand mountains.
At the top of the peak, a heavenly killing sword emerged, towering 60,000 feet high, ice crystals were radiant, spewing sword qi, also entwined with blue-golden sword threads, clanging and playing a killing sound, stirring the hearts of the people.
“Sword Sorrowful Killing Piano Sound Sword!”
“This is the phantom of the Sword Sorrow Star.”
“It’s amazing, even more exaggerated than Sect Leader Ye.”
“After all, it’s the disciple of Jian Xiong and the wife of the Great Sun Sword God, so it looks like he’s going to be promoted to the third level of the Dharma Phase.”
There were many changes in the Natural Dao Sect.
The concentration of aura was pulled up, the mountains and rivers were beautiful, and Nirvana giants were born in large numbers.
However, the biggest change was still the Natural Dao Palace that hung high in the sky, disappearing and seemingly crashing to the ground.
“Yin and Yang are born!”
Yun Shiyu’s breath climbed.
Through the yin and yang changes, the dharma phase was rigid and flexible, extending many dao marks.
Mo Demon laughed, “Sister Yun, you are worthy of being the best qualified amongst us, the earliest to advance to the third level of the Dharma Phase.”
Su Qingxue congratulated, “Sister Mo and I are only at the first level of Dharma Phase, there’s still some distance to the second level of Dharma Phase, Cloud Peak will use you as a signboard in the future.”
Zhao Tian Yu cried out, “Sisters are too modest, sister Bai and I are only at the ninth level of Nirvana, that said, where is Ru Yun? How come she wasn’t there?”
“Seems to be refining pills.”Ye Yuling was also at the first level of Dharma phase now, she was less than forty this year, yet she had this level of cultivation, worthy of being a half saint body.
Yun Shiyu exhaled a mouthful of turbid air and said, “Let’s give Ruyun a hand, it’s been hard on her lately, she’s been hard pressed to become an alchemist in order to cope with taxes.”
The ladies left.
Arriving at the Cloud Mist Dan Room.
The fire was steaming and the precious medicine was burning.
Bai Ruyun was dressed in a plain white long dress, exquisite features, beauty like jade.
Only the face of the country, more than a little haggard, eyes always focusing on the Inferno Sun Golden Furnace, wanting to sacrifice the precious pills.
Boom!
The furnace lifted off.
Sprayed out green Yun incense mist.
An emerald python flew out, like lightning travelling.
Yun Shiyu raised her hand and grabbed it, and the python transformed into a green jade elixir: “Sister Bai, you actually refined a lower-grade treasure elixir, the Emerald Wood Python Dragon Elixir.”
“It can’t be helped, the taxes are getting tighter and tighter, Cloud Mist Peak really can’t get any extra pills, I have to rush the work day and night.”Bai Ruyun let out a sigh.
Zhao Tian Yu went up a few steps and rubbed Bai Ruyun’s temples, “If it wasn’t for the day and night refining of pills and the delay in cultivation, Sister Bai would have already taken half a step to Dharma phase.”
Ye Yuling sulked, “It’s all because of Mu A Yi, after becoming the acting Sect Leader, he started reforming and also collecting taxes, it’s basically bloodsucking, and it’s once a month.”
Bai Ruyun said, “It can’t be helped, besides, I love alchemy, I used to study it in the Immortal Kingdom, together with the treasure furnace left behind by my husband, and the alchemy notes, I was able to quickly become a master alchemist.”
As soon as he spoke of Qin Li.
Mo Demon fumbled with the Qian Kun Bangle and sighed:
“I wonder where Husband has gone? Not returning for a long time.”
Yun Shiyu comforted, “It’s fine, in the Hall of Ying Spirits, Husband Jun’s soul plate is intact, so he must be safe and sound.”
The ladies were climbing into conversation.
Snap!
The gate opened.
A Cloud Mist disciple hurried:
“Reporting to the peak masters, Wei Shanhu from the Council of Elders is here.”
Yun Shiyu frowned slightly, “I can’t imagine that this tax-collecting tiger came so quickly, let’s go and meet him for a while.”
Out of the alchemy room.
He saw ten people standing in the clouds.
All of them were Dharma phase cultivators with strong breaths and rusty faces.
They were all ancient cultivators from the Frozen Recovery, most of them were at the first or second level of Dharma Phase.
The leader was even an ancient heavenly pride, with a fourth level of Dharma Phase cultivation, tall in stature, with tiger eyes and a broad nose, and the moment he displayed his breath, he was imposing for tens of thousands of miles, as if a tiger was whistling in the mountains and a dragon was shaking the sea.
“Tsk, is Cloud Mist Peak developing well? There’s also a group of great beauties of national colours, I want to leave the Elder Council and join you guys, maybe I can mix a marriage!”Wei Shanhu scanned the crowd, his mouth teasing.
Yun Shiyu had a cold face, “If you talk nonsense again, I’ll cut out your tongue.”
“Just kidding.”
Wei Shanhu shook his head and said:
“Where’s this month’s tax? Hurry up and take it out!”
Bai Ruyun didn’t talk nonsense, raising his hand, several jade boxes flew out, either precious ores, old and precious medicines, and a large number of pills.
“Not enough!”
Wei Shanhu shook his head.
“I forgot to mention that the Elders Council decided to raise the tax point.”
Mo Demon’s face changed: “Since one year, the tax point has been raised three times, do you guys really think we are pigs and sheep to be slaughtered at will?”
Wei Shanhu laughed, “This senior sister, you’re wrong, we have topped up the curses and vigorously levied taxes, but not for the sake of supplying the Twin Kings in the hope that they will recover as soon as possible, could it be that you’re unwilling to do so, and are presumptuously attempting to rebel against the clan.”
A big hat was snapped.
Everyone’s faces were ugly and could only be silent.
Bai Ruyun sighed, “I still have a few pieces of magic treasures here, it should be enough to cover this month’s taxes.”
“It’s not enough!”
Wei Shanhu still shook his head.
Zhao Tianyu gritted his teeth and said, “Don’t go too far, you guys.”
Wei Shanhu said, “The Council of Elders has issued a new order, not only to collect taxes, but also to extract outstanding disciples from all peaks to form the Natural Dao Soldiers to guard the Dao Sect.”
“What!”
A few women’s hearts were shaken.
“How many people are you going to levy?”
Wei Shanhu said indifferently, “The more the better.”
“Now that Qian Yuan has been unsealed and the heavens are moving foolishly, our sect is in danger of being exhausted, so naturally, all of us must be enlisted.”
Bai Ruyun’s face turned white.
This move was tantamount to breaking Cloud Mist Peak’s foundation.
Yun Shiyu said steadily, “The conscription depends on the opinions of the disciples under the sect, and it can’t be resolved in a moment.”
“We understand, but by next month’s time, you must pull together a team of five hundred people, with a minimum cultivation level of Celestial.”Wei Shanhu led a group of ancient cultivators and took to the air.
“Right!”
Wei Shanhu turned back:
“Has Qin Li returned?”
Mo Demon said impatiently, “I’ve said that my husband is out travelling, you guys have asked dozens of times, are you tired of it!”
“I’m just worried for him, there are so many beautiful ladies at home, if he doesn’t come back and gets bullied, beware of regretting his life.”Wei Shanhu sneered and left with a group of ancient cultivators.
Sniffing.
Several women’s faces were ugly.
Ye Yueling hated her teeth, “This group of ancient cultivators is too hateful!”
Bai Ruyun sighed, “Charging heavy taxes and forcibly recruiting soldiers, it’s obvious that they’re trying to hollow out our group of Peak Masters, and they’re also going to work against Husband.”
Su Qingxue raised her eyebrows and said, “The ancient cultivators awakening and the return of the Twin Kings were already out of step with us today, and now that Wood Aether has replaced Sect Leader Ye and is making drastic reforms, it seems to be for the sake of the Dao Sect, but in reality, it’s for the purpose of weakening our rights.”
This was struggle.
A struggle for proper governance.
It was a tug of war between the ancients and the present.
Right now, it seemed that the Ancient Cultivators had gained an overwhelming advantage.
Because the ones who had returned from the unsealing were not only the Twin Kings, but also dozens of Dharma phase powerhouses and hundreds of Nirvana giants.
The lower the cultivation level, the less essence was lost, so they quickly recovered and formed a council of elders, wanting to integrate the 108 peaks, empty the peak masters, and completely take the Natural Dao Sect into their hands.
At this time.
A recluse light came.
Landing on the ground, it was none other than Jade Dust Zi.
Thanks to the Qian Yuan completeness, he had also been promoted to the first level of the Dharma Phase.
“Master, why are you free to come to Cloud Mist Peak.”Zhao Tianyu said in surprise.
Jade Dust Zi, however, couldn’t smile, “I’ve come here for two things, one is to congratulate Sword Sadness Star, for advancing further, and the second is that we got Wood Aether’s reform plan, so take a look at it.”
A jade sketch flew out.
A few women took a look and their fire exploded.
“Deceiving people too much! Deceiving!”
Bai Ruyun, who had the best temper, was also shaking with anger.
Wood Aether’s purpose was simple: to form the inner sect, while the 108 peaks, as the outer sect, had no rights whatsoever, and could only cultivate outstanding disciples who would enter the inner sect for further studies once they advanced to Nirvana.
Yun Shiyu scoffed to herself, “Ancient cultivator is an inner sect elder, present cultivator is an outer sect elder, Wood Aether played a good hand.”
Jade Dusty said, “Nan Jianzi and the others have already gone to the Dao Palace and want to make a claim, do you guys want to go with me?”
“Go!”
A few women took to the air.
The recluse light broke through the air and the wind whizzed by.
Not long after, the former Natural Dao Palace was seen.
It was still as ancient and vicissitudes, but it no longer hung in the air, but fell to the ground.
Because Ye Qingcang was sent to Yuanzhou to open up the frontier and also took away the Natural King City, the remaining buildings had no support, so they fell.
At this time!
Outside the door of the Dao Palace.
A group of old acquaintances converged.
Heavenly Sword Peak Master, Ten Thousand Flowers Peak Master, Sting Peak Master, Spring Dan Peak Master ……
Nearly two dozen Dharma Phase 1s, all beneficiaries of Yuan Zhou’s return, and the Flower Daoist Son, Hua Haitang, was even a Dharma Phase 2.
“Everyone is here, let’s go to the Elder Council together to seek justice.”
