After entering the Spiritual Wind Pavilion, Zhang Ruochen called Blackie out for a discussion.
Zhang Ruochen said, “We have entered the Yin and Yang Sect. Can you perceive the location of that altar?”
“I’ll estimate first.”
Blackie reached two claws out and drew some crooked lines on the ground. All the lines connected together and quickly formed a compass two meters in diameter.
“Swoosh!”
As he unleashed Genuine Qi, the compass suddenly emitted a white radiance, which rose from the ground and began to slowly rotate.
On the third rotation, the compass stopped and shot a light toward the southwest.
“Southwest.”
Zhang Ruochen rummaged through the study and soon found a book from the shelf called the
Geography of the Mountains and Rivers of the Yin and Yang Sect.
“The Yin and Yang Sect is divided into 3 palaces and 72 yards. In the southwest of Long-living Yard is Sunyu Yard, Demon Seal Yard, and the Supreme Pure Palace.”
Sunyu Yard was the closest to Long-living Yard and the Supreme Pure Palace was the farthest.
Zhang Ruochen pointed at the map and said, “Since the compass was directed to the southwest, let’s investigate from the closest, Sunyu Yard.”
15 minutes later, he remembered all the contents of the book by using his strong Spiritual Power. Then, he left the Spiritual Wind Pavilion and headed for Sunyu Yard first.
Just as he walked out of the gate, a white-robed outer disciple approached. He looked to be in his early 20s and he bowed to Zhang Ruochen. “Elder Brother Lin, the Lord ordered you to go to Zixia Temple.”
The Lord was the master of Zixia Sacred Mountain. All outer disciples, indoor disciples, and Saint’s disciples had to take orders from him.
Zhang Ruochen frowned while asking, “Now?”
“Yes, right now,” the outer disciple answered.
“Please lead the way!”
Zhang Ruochen did not plan to visit the Lord, but he had no choice. After all, he was a disciple of the Yin and Yang Sect now, so he could not disobey the Lord’s order.
He could only postpone investigating the altar.
Zixia Temple was located on a hillside of Zixia Sacred Mountain and was built with Sapphire bamboo. The Taoist temple was not towering or grandiose and had no unusual places.
Just as he arrived outside the Taoist temple, he felt a powerful pressure, as if a mighty Holy Aura faintly had fallen on his shoulders.
“The Lord must be a Half-Saint.”
He was shocked and immediately became cautious.
He attempted to run the thin Holy Qi inside and adjust his temperament. He tried to be more arrogant, which would be more consistent with Lin Yue’s character.
He entered Zixia Temple and saw dozens of people inside. All of them were Elders of Zixia Sacred Mountain, and most of them had reached the Fish-Dragon Realm.
Besides them, Zhao Han’er, Xu Chen, and the indoor disciples who returned together with him stood on both sides of the Taoist temple.
A human-shaped stone figure stood right above the Taoist temple. It was about two meters high, had a robe on and a sword that hung on its waist. It appeared to be in a solemn atmosphere.
The Holy Aura was emanating from this stone figure.
“Unfilial disciple, how dare you not kneel down and bow to the Lord’s stone figure!” A cyan-robed elder opened his eyes wide and reproached Zhang Ruochen harshly.
Zhang Ruochen looked up at the gray-haired old Taoist and guessed that he had to be Lin Yue’s master.
Zhang Ruochen stood straight in the center of the Taoist temple and said with dignity, “Why haven’t
you
kneeled down and bowed in front of the Lord’s stone figure?”
The gray-haired old Taoist suddenly stood up and quickly ran his Genuine Qi inside to form a vortical wind force around his body. He said coldly, “Will you kneel down or not?”
The gray-haired old Taoist was very powerful and had reached the Seventh Change in the Fish-dragon Realm.
His momentum burst out and condensed into mighty Qi billows that rolled toward Zhang Ruochen.
“Rumble!”
All of a sudden, the airflow in the entire Taoist temple shook violently.
Under the momentum being exuding from the gray-haired old Taoist, Zhao Han’er, Xu Chen, and the other indoor disciples who just stood at the edge were suppressed and unable to move.
It was obvious that Zhang Ruochen, who was in the center of that momentum, would need to bear formidable pressure.
If Zhang Ruochen were Lin Yue, who had only reached the Completion of Heaven Realm, he would not be able to bear the pressure and would kneel down immediately.
But now, Zhang Ruochen had no fear of the gray-haired old Taoist and had not been suppressed by his momentum into kneeling down.
Zhang Ruochen stood still and said unyieldingly, “Master, if you want me to kneel down, shouldn’t you give me a reason?”
The gray-haired old Taoist was astonished when he saw that Zhang Ruochen had dissolved his momentum without effort.
In the Taoist temple, several of the Elders from Zixia Sacred Mountain had been sitting in repose with their eyes closed. Now, they opened their eyes and stared at Lin Yue in surprise.
Lin Yue was able to withstand the momentum of a monk at the Seventh Change in the Fish-dragon Realm, so he had definitely broken through the limit of martial arts and had reached the First Change in the Fish-Dragon Realm.
After all, Lin Yue was just 36 years old.
A monk at the First Change in the Fish-Dragon Realm at 36 years old was already very excellent. Thus, these elders felt disbelief.
In the Yin and Yang Sect, as long as someone broke through to the Fish-Dragon Realm before 60 years old, he was able to be an apprentice to a Half-Saint and become a “Saint’s disciple”.
If someone broke through the Fish-Dragon Realm after 60 years old, he would have little potential and limited achievements. He was able to be dubbed a “cyan-robed elder” at most.
All these elders in the Taoist temple were the lowest elders, cyan-robed elders.
Originally, they had been prepared to
