"Ah, I didn't expect Jian to be a person with a heavenly fate as well!" Zhao exclaimed with great joy, and at the same time, he bowed to the two immortal masters and walked forward.
The square-faced immortal master nodded in satisfaction, suddenly waved his large sleeve, and a seemingly gentle breeze blew by, effortlessly sweeping the four people, including Zhao Di, into the air. Then, with a light and agile movement, they split into two groups and landed on the bamboo flying instruments under the feet of the immortal master and the squinting immortal master, each carrying two people behind them.
Under the bamboo forest, a group of students couldn't help but reveal their disappointed and envious expressions, each with their own thoughts, gazing at the two immortal masters and four familiar people with immortal fate.
"Tell the relatives of these people that they have been admitted to the immortal gate because of their diligent study and hard work, which has brought them a divine aura. If you also want to become immortals in one step, you must double your efforts to study diligently and cultivate the divine aura early on. As long as you can cultivate the divine aura, it's only a matter of time before you enter the immortal gate." The square-faced Taoist smiled slightly at the students below him and said loudly.
After finishing this encouraging remark, he gave a wink to the squinting monk, and then the two of them simultaneously stepped on the bamboo raft under their feet and flew away in the distance.
As if intentionally showing off in front of ordinary people, the two did not leave Xu Yun Island directly, but instead slowly traversed half of the island at low altitude before floating away under the gaze of many ordinary people's admiration and excitement.
"Ah, finally a celestial master has come to our Cloudy Island to recruit disciples! Haha, and in one go, he's taken on four of them!"
"It turns out that Mr. Jian was also a person with a predestined affinity for immortality, no wonder he could teach several students who had a predestined affinity for immortality!"
"Really? My Pu'er was also taught by Mr. Jian! No wonder, no wonder!"
"What a pity! With Mr. Jian leaving like this, I heard that Bamboo Book House is now unattended!"
"Alas, although my son has fortunately joined the immortal gate, but this time, I don't know if we will meet again in this life!"
"What a woman's idea! If the child can have the opportunity to enter the immortal gate, it is a glorious and honorable thing. How can we abandon this rare chance of immortality for thousands of years because of such a small matter?"
Two immortal masters arrived on the island of Xuyun and recruited a group of disciples, which quickly spread throughout the small island, causing a huge reaction. The atmosphere of respecting Confucianism on the island became even more intense... After leaving the island of Xuyun, the two immortal masters' flying speed was much faster, whizzing past Zhao Di and several others with a loud whoosh. Fortunately, the two immortal masters each used a blue and green light shield to cover the four of them, so they not only didn't feel any impact from the strong wind, but also stood more steadily, fully enjoying the thrill of flying high in the air.
Three children were naturally overjoyed, and Zhao Di also had an extremely excited expression, but his heart was becoming increasingly heavy.
Considering the current situation and what Old Man Wang mentioned about Wang Pu being accepted into the Immortal Sect, combined with the multiple times he heard from ordinary people about children on Qianyun Island being selected to enter the Immortal Sect, when you put all these events together, it's likely that the Qianyun Sect has been accepting ordinary people without spiritual roots but possessing a hint of the Book of Heaven into their ranks for decades. The number of ordinary people involved is probably already in the tens of thousands.
Perhaps it was because he had been a teacher in the mortal world for too long, but Zhao Di felt a sense of responsibility to be a role model. He couldn't bear the thought of his students being taken away by other cultivators without his knowledge or intervention, especially when there were tens of thousands of mortal students involved. Since this was happening right before his eyes and even implicated him, he decided to take some risk and follow the two "immortal teachers" to the Qianyun Sect to get to the bottom of things!
If he guessed wrong and these people were harmless, then he would naturally disappear quietly within the Qianyun Sect; if there was danger, then he would secretly rescue these school children. The Qianyun Sect is just a small sect, as long as it doesn't disturb the elders of the sect, no one can discover Zhao Di's improper behavior, let alone stop him from rescuing these children.
Wēi Yún Island and Qiān Yún Island, separated by only over 30,000 miles, even ordinary people can travel back and forth between the two islands in a year or so by sea. For these two Qiān Yún Sect foundation-building initial-stage cultivators who could ride flying artifacts, however, it was a short journey of just a few days.
Along the way, they encountered some reefs and coral islands that floated out of the sea. The two immortal masters would temporarily stay there, take out some dry food from their storage bags for these few mortals to eat, while the two of them did not eat or drink, but instead closed their eyes, meditated, and recovered the spiritual energy consumed by the long-distance flight.
When the immortal master pulled out a pile of dry rations from his storage bag, the faces of these students showed incredibly rich expressions. Not daring to disturb the immortal master's meditation, they could only discuss in hushed tones with "Mr. Jian" about their astonishing experiences over the past few days. Mr. Jian was apparently equally astonished and didn't know any more than they did.
After a while, Zhao Di and several others followed the two immortal masters directly to the Qianyun Sect.
The magnificent mountains and grand buildings occupied by this immortal sect are naturally not comparable to those in the mortal world! The few people couldn't help but exclaim in surprise again.
After Zhao Di arrived at Qianyun Island, he became doubly cautious. His divine sense quietly monitored every move within a range of twenty to thirty miles around him, but never tried to probe other cultivators or touch anything forbidden, lest anyone discover any unusual signs.
These two foundation-building cultivators brought Zhao Di and four others to fly back and forth among the mountain peaks. Along the way, they also met many cultivators of the Qianyun Sect, most of whom were in the Refining Qi stage, occasionally there were also individual Foundation Building cultivators, but these people did not think it was strange for Zhao Di and several ordinary people to come, apparently bringing ordinary people here by the foundation-building cultivators of the sect is a common occurrence.
Before long, several people stayed at the foot of a lush and towering mountain peak. This mountain peak was not the largest in the vicinity, but the density of spiritual energy was obviously much higher than that of other places they had passed through. At least it seemed to be a high-quality spiritual vein. And this was just outside the mountain peak, presumably deeper inside, the density of spiritual energy would be even higher.
"Wait here for a moment, the two of us will go in and report to the sect leader!" Fang Lian Xian Shi instructed Zhao Di and several others, after saying this, he and Mi Yan Xian Shi were about to head into the mountain peak.
Suddenly, two slender girls with identical faces walked out of the emerald forest on the mountain peak, wearing pink and light green long dresses respectively, and approached the two people with a gentle smile.
Upon seeing the two women's sweet and beautiful faces, Fang Xiucai and others couldn't help but be taken aback, immediately stopping in their tracks and smiling politely at the two women.
Two girls also hurriedly bowed to the two men, and the girl in pink said softly: "Two senior brothers, my sister and I have just entered the sect for a few days, we still can't recognize the roads, and there are many things we don't understand. I wonder if you two senior brothers have time to give us some guidance."
The two women were obviously in the early stages of their cultivation, similar to him and his companion, but they had never heard of a pair of sisters who looked like celestial beings within the sect! It seemed that they were indeed newcomers.
"We still have a mission to complete..." Fang Jian Shi said with a slightly difficult expression, but his heart was actually thinking about something completely unrelated to the conversation.
"Hehe, these few mortals have troubled Brother Han to bring them into the Flowing Jade Peak. I can help alleviate the worries of the two junior sisters." The squint-eyed cultivator interrupted Brother Han's speech, seizing the initiative. This person was indeed very decisive.
The square-faced Taoist collected his smile, suppressing a hint of anger in his heart, and with an air of composure, said calmly: "Yes, my junior brother is absolutely right. Handing over these ordinary people doesn't require both of us to complete it together. How about this? I've stayed in the sect for a few more years, so I'm more familiar with everything here. Let me take care of leading the two junior sisters, and you can handle those ordinary people!"
His face turned red with anger, but he didn't dare to retort. After all, his opponent had entered the sect slightly earlier than him and was also slightly more powerful, making him a senior brother he didn't dare to offend.
"Thanks, brother! Please lead the way!" The green-robed girl said cheerfully. The two girls, one in front and one behind, surrounded the square-faced monk as they entered the mountain's lush forest, constantly asking him various questions, indeed only knowing a thing or two about their own sect.
Watching the three people's backs disappear into the mountain peaks, the squinting monk cursed loudly "hypocrite", then walked towards another place in the mountain peaks.
Zhao Di and three students quietly stood in place, but at this time he slightly curled up the corners of his mouth, revealing a hint of mysterious smile.
Those two girls were none other than You Lan and You Ruo in disguise. The cultivation of the two women was far above that of these two foundation-building cultivators, and they had Zhao Di, a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, secretly assisting them from the side to cover up their tracks. Therefore, neither of them detected any ghostly aura on the two women and simply took them as new junior sisters who had just entered the sect.
Zhao Di's divine sense detected that there were no other high-ranking cultivators nearby, so he arranged for the two women to take action and lure the square-faced cultivator into the mountain peak's emerald forest. Once they were out of the squinting cultivator's surveillance range, the two women didn't hesitate to make their move! The two women used the top-grade dark artifact, the Soul-Shocking Rod, in perfect sync, and with a sudden sneak attack, easily knocked the square-faced cultivator unconscious on the spot. They then used the Soul-Searching Secret Technique to explore all the information within his divine sense.
They are not too far apart, and every move of the two women is very clear to Zhao Di. The information obtained by searching for souls is also transmitted to Zhao Di's divine consciousness through the soul-gathering pearl in his body.
Square-faced monk's life scenes flashed through his mind, most of which were ignored, only when encountering information related to Qianyun Sect would he pay extra attention. After a stick of incense, Zhao Di obtained the information he wanted.
"It's indeed the case! The Qianyun Sect has actually done such a cruel thing, and is manipulating the fate of millions of ordinary people on the nearby islands in the palm of their hands!" Zhao Di was furious in his heart!
