"Yes, when my Qingyun Sect was founded, it only had seven branches! But you can open your own branch and pass it down from there!"
Wan Jianyi chuckled.
"At that time, you will be the patriarch of your eighth lineage!"
Chapter 111 Li Qing'an: I want to establish the Eighth Meridian?
Wan Jianyi never expected that at such an advanced age, he would encounter a peerless genius, a disciple comparable to, or even surpassing, the Qingye Ancestor.
I am very relieved!
"Don't the other chiefs have any objections?" Li Qingan asked.
After all, if there were one more lineage, Qingyun Sect would have a total of eight lineages. Although it would seem to benefit the entire Qingyun Sect, with one more lineage, the lineage established by Li Qing'an would naturally also have power.
As one side gains and the other loses, their power will decrease considerably.
He still remembers the hostile looks on the faces of the weapon-refining elders when he first practiced the Nine Heavens Divine Weapon.
"What objections could they possibly have? They still owe you a favor. They've benefited immensely from your Spirit Gathering Array and weapon refining techniques!" Wan Jianyi's eyes sharpened as he spoke softly.
"Well, have you thought about it?"
Since things had come to this point, Li Qingan naturally had no intention of refusing.
Moreover, in the future, it will definitely be more effective for a disciple of Dazhu Peak to propose marriage in the name of the head of the Eighth Branch than for a disciple of Dazhu Peak to do so in the name of the head of the Eighth Branch!
Think about this.
Li Qingan nodded and looked at Wan Jianyi, "Senior, I agree, but I have one condition!"
"Good, you can ask Wen Daoxuan at the Jade Purity Palace for the conditions yourself."
Upon hearing Li Qing'an's agreement, Wan Jianyi burst into laughter.
The Qingyun Sect is about to have its eighth lineage, and it's in his generation, making him practically a disciple. He can face his master without feeling ashamed.
He didn't want to ask any more questions about the conditions Li Qingan mentioned; he was just a messenger.
The details need to be discussed between Li Qing'an and Dao Xuan!
However, Dao Xuan would certainly agree; he was even more eager for the establishment of the Eighth Meridian than Wan Jianyi.
The leadership of a sect changes every few hundred years, but only one person every few thousand years is qualified to establish the eighth sect.
The two chatted for a while longer before Li Qing'an left for the Yuqing Palace.
He planned to take this opportunity to get Dao Xuan's permission to visit the Illusion Moon Cave, as the fifth volume of the Heavenly Book was still waiting for him!
However, even if he wanted to study, it would take some time. More importantly, he wondered if the absence of the three volumes of the Heavenly Book would affect his cultivation.
The second volume of the Heavenly Book in the hands of the Ghost King Sect, and the fourth volume in the hands of the Heavenly Sound Temple, are the two most difficult to obtain.
Even if Li Qingan lured Zhang Xiaofan to Tianyin Temple to see the jade disc, and then obtained the fourth volume of the Heavenly Book from him.
Even so, the second volume of the Heavenly Book in the hands of the Ghost King Sect is still very difficult to obtain.
"Are we really going to try and trick that little girl?"
Li Qing'an was filled with worry.
But Li Qingan also knew that if he could trick Biyao into giving him the second volume of the Heavenly Book, then Biyao must be deeply in love with him.
It won't be easy to get away then.
He also felt quite sorry for the girl who had originally died under the Zhuxian Sword, but now that he was here, it was impossible for her to die.
However, he still hesitated to deceive a young girl for the sake of a mysterious book!
Moreover, if he approached Biyao with self-interest, he probably wouldn't have obtained the Heavenly Book.
After all, Biyao grew up in the Demonic Sect, so she could probably see through anyone who tried to get close to her for personal gain.
not to mention.
He had flirted with Youji several times in front of her before, so they were probably already irreconcilable enemies.
"Forget it, let nature take its course!"
Just as Li Qing'an was lost in thought, he had already arrived inside the Yuqing Palace.
"Nephew Qing'an, he should have told you by now!" Dao Xuan said, sitting in the head seat as Li Qing'an entered.
"Correct!"
Li Qingan looked up at Dao Xuan, his expression natural and his tone firm: "But Master Uncle, I have one more condition. I want to visit the Illusion Moon Cave!"
The Illusion Moon Cave is the place where the Qingyun Ancestor comprehended the Taiji Xuanqing Dao. Only the successive sect leaders can enter, and even the chief disciple cannot enter if he wants to.
"Can!"
Dao Xuan did not hesitate for long and said, "My nephew has made such a contribution to the sect and has even listed his own array formation as a separate lineage of my Qingyun Sect. I grant his request!"
"Thank you, Master!"
Seeing that he was about to obtain another scroll of the Heavenly Book, Li Qing'an bowed slightly.
"No need. I will inform the cultivation world about your appointment as the head of the eighth branch of my Qingyun Sect after the Demonic Sect's attack on the mountain is over!" Dao Xuan said with a smile.
During his tenure, a new lineage was added to the sect, greatly increasing the strength of the Qingyun Sect. After his death, he would have more face to face his master.
"By the way, go and call Zhang Xiaofan over. Master Puhong from Tianyin Temple will be arriving soon. Let's ask for his opinion first!"
Dao Xuan then continued.
Now that he no longer doubts Zhang Xiaofan's loyalty, he naturally still regards him as the genius disciple of the Qingyun Sect in this generation.
Therefore, Dao Xuan needed to consult Zhang Xiaofan's opinion to avoid them becoming estranged in the future!
Li Qingan nodded and turned to leave.
Not long after, Li Qingan brought Zhang Xiaofan to the Yuqing Palace.
After more than a day, and with the comforting words of the people from Dazhu Peak, Zhang Xiaofan had calmed down somewhat.
"Sect Master Uncle!" the two greeted as they entered the Jade Purity Hall.
"Zhang Xiaofan, you also know about the Grass Temple Village incident. Master Puhong of Tianyin Temple will be coming to Qingyun Sect soon. Do you have any requests?"
Dao Xuan looked at his sixteen-year-old disciple below with a kind expression.
Li Qingan watched quietly from the side. Sixteen years old would have been just starting high school in his previous life!
It's quite pathetic that things have turned out this way.
Zhang Xiaofan raised his head, his eyes bloodshot, and looked up at Dao Xuan, then at Li Qing'an.
However, seeing that Li Qingan didn't speak, it was clear that he was waiting for Li Qingan to make his own decision!
He opened his mouth, then shook his head!
What are the requirements?
What kind of compensation could bring his parents back? What kind of compensation could make up for his five years of arduous concealment...?
"Very well! Let's wait for news from Tianyin Temple!"
Dao Xuan also sighed.
"Sect Master, according to the sect rules, will a disciple be expelled from Qingyun?"
Zhang Xiaofan spoke only after Dao Xuan finished speaking.
His voice was hoarse, but you could faintly hear the worry in it.
He thought a lot that day, about Li Qingan's teachings, the people of Dazhu Peak whom he regarded as family, and the colorful world of cultivation.
Then I thought about my deceased parents and that promise that now seemed utterly absurd.
Dao Xuan was taken aback upon hearing this, then smiled and said, "This matter is not your fault. A decision will be made once Tianyin Temple arrives! But..."
"Thank you, Master Uncle!" Zhang Xiaofan bowed.
A glimmer of hope appeared in his eyes, but he was not completely at ease.
After all, Dao Xuan didn't say it explicitly! That means there are still variables.
"Go back and rest first. I'll discuss this with your senior brother!" Dao Xuan said again.
After Zhang Xiaofan left, Dao Xuan asked Li Qing'an, "What do you think Zhang Xiaofan should do?"
Li Qingan hesitated for a moment, looking troubled, unsure of what to say.
He suddenly remembered that Zhang Xiaofan's path lay in cultivating Buddhism, Taoism, and demonism together, so as to ascend to the Great Dao. If he did not join the demonic sect, he would not know what Zhang Xiaofan would do.
It remains to be seen whether Zhang Xiaofan can comprehend the demonic sect's methods from the first volume of the Heavenly Book, which is also the general outline of the Heavenly Book, and thus achieve the three cultivations!
In the end, Li Qingan still shook his head: "Sect Leader Uncle, I have an idea, I'll go ask him!"
Dao Xuan nodded. He was also considering Zhang Xiaofan's future; abandoning such a disciple was impossible.
However, Zhang Xiaofan wields the Bloodthirsty Bead and cultivates the Great Brahma Prajna, so with his current prestige, it's impossible for him to suppress the opinions of the disciples within the Qingyun Sect.
It's really a headache.
Li Qing'an also left Yuqing Palace at this moment.
"Xiao Fan, let's go back to Dazhu Peak. I have something to tell you!"
He found Zhang Xiaofan waiting outside the hall and said with a frown.
A moment later, in the bamboo forest behind Dazhu Peak
"Senior brother!" Zhang Xiaofan looked at Li Qingan with a worried expression.
After discussing with Dao Xuan, Li Qing'an arrived at Bamboo Peak with a solemn expression, which gave him a bad feeling.
"Xiao Fan, do you still remember the Heavenly Book I told you about before?"
Li Qingan listened to the sound of the bamboo rustling in his ears and said.
"I remember, the Heavenly Book has five volumes in total, and it will be beneficial to my cultivation!"
Zhang Xiaofan recalled what Li Qingan said at the bottom of the Abyss of the Dead.
"Yes, the Taiji Xuanqing Dao and Dafan Boruo you are currently cultivating are considered to be the initial steps on the path of Buddhist and Taoist cultivation. In addition, the first volume of the Heavenly Book can allow you to initially integrate Buddhism and Taoism!"
