Chương 135: 9 Yaodao Lord

Duobao Daoren's failure was inevitable.

Before the Xuanmen Dao Discussion Conference, Fang Yang returned the gifts to the three Holy Mothers, Wudang Holy Mother and Guiling Holy Mother, and sent them a lot of merit.

Fang Yang wasn't trying to bribe Jinling Shengmu and the other two with merit; he wanted them to understand who was truly acting in the best interests of the Jie Sect.

It is an indisputable fact that Daoist Duobao protected the disciples of the Jie Sect. However, his protection brought about a decline in the sect's fortune and a reduction in its merits.

In contrast, Fang Yang also formed cliques, but his main purpose in doing so was to boost his performance. He only preached the Dao twice, yet he earned more merit than anyone else in the entire Jie Sect, except for the Tongtian Sect Leader, could accumulate in hundreds of millions of years.

It's obvious who is the one who can bring benefits to the Jie Sect!

The bond between fellow disciples is, after all, just that—the bond between fellow disciples. Above all, there is the bond between master and disciple. The reason why the myriad immortals of the Jie Sect could become fellow disciples is because they were all disciples of the Tongtian Sect Master.

In short, the Jie Sect belongs to Tongtian Jiaozhu, not Duobao Daoren. Since Jinling Shengmu and the other two understood the situation, how could they possibly support Duobao Daoren?

Duobao Daoist's defeat caused his regard for Fang Yang to increase dramatically. He never imagined that Fang Yang could win people's hearts so quickly. He had only been a disciple for a short time, yet he had already won over both Jinling Shengmu and Wudang Shengmu.

"Senior Brother, are our three senior sisters really going to keep making the same mistakes?"

Seeing that Duobao Daoist's expression was not good, Jin Guangxian's heart sank and he quickly asked.

If it were just Fang Yang dealing with them, Daoist Duobao could still protect them. But with the addition of Holy Mother Jinling and Holy Mother Wudang, even Daoist Duobao couldn't withstand them.

The Jie Sect had only five direct disciples. Three of them joined forces to deal with Duobao Daoren, while Guiling Shengmu watched coldly from the sidelines. Duobao Daoren could be said to be alone and unable to fight back.

Daoist Duobao's expression darkened, and he shook his head slightly: "What are you afraid of? Evil cannot prevail over good. No matter how high Fang Yang and his group's cultivation is, they are ultimately heartless and ruthless. You are all immortals with feelings and righteousness. Are you still afraid of them?"

"What my senior brother says is absolutely right."

Golden-haired Immortal immediately agreed, "If he wants to fight, then let him fight. We brothers will live together and die together."

"Haha, Senior Brother Jin Guang is right, let's have a big toast."

Lingya Xian put down his wine jar and burst into laughter, his voice filled with heroic spirit.

"We brothers don't ask to be born on the same day, month, and year, but we ask to die on the same day, month, and year. What do we have to fear from Fang Yang? Even death cannot separate us!"

As soon as Lingya Xian finished speaking, the six immortals of Penglai burst into laughter, each displaying a bold and unrestrained spirit, and each of them seemed ready to die for their cause.

Upon witnessing this scene, Daoist Duobao felt a mix of emotions, a mixture of gratitude and heaviness. With Wuyun Xian and Lü Yue both in trouble, he feared he couldn't protect his fellow disciples.

He had learned about Fang Yang's strength through Jin Guangxian and others, easily defeating Ran Deng Daoren and even mastering the Seventh Sword of Heaven-Slaying. If it weren't for his magical treasures, he might not have been a match for Fang Yang.

"Where did Master find this freak? His cultivation has advanced so quickly, and his strength is so great. To deal with this person, we can only use strategy, not brute force."

Daoist Duobao dared not fight Fang Yang. Fang Yang could afford to lose, but he could not.

If Fang Yang loses, people will at most say, "Junior brother is indeed no match for senior brother"; but if he loses, he, as the senior brother of the Jie Sect, will lose all face.

As the senior disciple, bestowed with a multitude of magical treasures by the Tongtian Sect Leader, he couldn't even defeat a junior disciple. People wouldn't care how strong Fang Yang truly was; they would only say that Daoist Duobao was unworthy of his reputation.

Duobao Daoren was very clever, because he was indeed no match for Fang Yang.

Daoist Duobao indeed possesses many magical treasures, including four top-grade innate spiritual treasures alone, and many more innate spiritual treasures of other grades. However, let's not forget that Fang Yang has a pseudo-innate supreme treasure.

Without the appearance of innate supreme treasures and primordial spiritual treasures, pseudo-innate supreme treasures are invincible. No matter how many innate spiritual treasures Daoist Duobao possesses, they cannot compare to a single Sea-Stabilizing Heavenly Pearl!

Duobao Daoist's caution saved him; had he been enraged and challenged Fang Yang, he would have been doomed to defeat.

While Daoist Duobao was holding a mass gathering of demons in his Duobao Hall, a completely different scene unfolded on Mount Qingcheng.

At Tiancang Peak, ten beams of divine light pierced the sky, golden lotuses bloomed continuously, spreading across the land, and bursts of spiritual energy erupted, spreading towards the thirty-six peaks of Qingcheng.

In the void, bursts of celestial music resounded, as if someone was discussing scriptures and doctrines, or as if the heavens and earth were resounding with hymns.

Nine Luminaries True Lord and Heavenly Dao Lord sat amidst the mountains and waters of Tiancang Peak, displaying their respective Daoist arts and exchanging insights on attaining enlightenment.

No, the Nine Luminaries True Monarchs are no longer here. What exists now are the Nine Luminaries Dao Monarchs, because the Nine Luminaries True Monarchs have collectively advanced to the Great Luo Realm.

The five True Lords of the Vegetable Clan have a somewhat shallow foundation. Although they have profound merits, only the Dao Lord of Chaotian has attained the Great Luo realm.

The five True Lords of the Vegetable Clan have a somewhat shallow foundation. Although they have profound merits, only the Dao Lord of Chaotian has attained the Great Luo realm.

In other words, Fang Yang now has ten Great Luo Golden Immortals under his command!

What is the concept of ten Great Luo Golden Immortals? The entire Western Sect has only eight Great Luo Golden Immortals; the Chan Sect has more, with fourteen.

This means that the number of Great Luo Golden Immortals in the Qingcheng Mountain lineage alone is roughly the same as the number of Great Luo Golden Immortals in the two saintly sects, Chan Sect and Western Sect.

If the various sects of the Xuanmen knew the true strength of the Qingcheng Mountain lineage, they would be utterly astonished.

Almost all the Taiyi Immortals who followed Fang Yang received merit and even advanced to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. This advancement rate was unparalleled among all the sects of the Xuanmen.

Even if the Tongtian Sect Leader were to emerge from seclusion and meet Fang Yang, he would still reward Fang Yang handsomely.

Although Dao Lord Jiuyao and Dao Lord Chaotian were not trained by Fang Yang, they were supported by him. Without Fang Yang's support, they would still be stuck at the peak of Taiyi.

As soon as Fang Yang became a personal disciple, he helped ten Great Luo Golden Immortals rise to prominence. How happy must the Tongtian Sect Master be? When the Tongtian Sect Master meets other saints, they will be green with envy.

Fang Yang had refused the offers of other outer disciples to join him, precisely because he was waiting for this day.

Fang Yang wanted elites—elites who could help him conquer the world and assist him in earning merit, not a bunch of worthless trash who couldn't even be squeezed for any surplus value.

The Nine Luminaries Dao Lord and the Heavenly Dao Lord verified each other's Daoist teachings, their bodies swirling with the Great Luo Daoist aura, and ten divine lights intertwined like a net, making the entire Qingcheng Mountain even more sacred.

Qianyao Daojun stood in the center, his body surrounded by condensed solar true fire as clear as crystal, and slowly spoke to the other nine people:

"We owe our current status entirely to Senior Brother Fang Yang's guidance. Without his leadership in helping us accumulate merit, we would still be stuck at the Taiyi Golden Immortal level, with no hope of ever reaching the Great Luo realm in this lifetime."

The other nine bowed in unison, their eyes filled with awe and gratitude: "Senior Brother Qianyao is absolutely right. We swear to follow Senior Brother Fangyang to the death and never betray him!"
