Myriad Spirits Immortal Clan

As the morning sun slowly rose in the east, rays of light illuminated the entire Spirit Mountain.

The peach blossoms and leaves, covered in dew, instantly sparkled.

On the mountain peaks, the muffled sound of bells began to toll, echoing 'dong, dong, dong.'

All the cultivators emerged from their pavilions, looking towards Medicine King Mountain.

They saw that above the mountain peaks, the spiritual aura was even more intense, and there was also a spiritual shadow of a medicine lotus, like a lotus flower just beginning to bloom, slowly unfurling.

On both sides of the medicine lotus, there were exotic beasts flying, Buddhist scriptures standing tall, and several cultivator figures standing beside it.

Today was the day of the Medicine King Valley's lecture.

“Fellow Daoists, comrades, and envoys from the Immortal Sect, today's lecture begins. I hope you will all enter the Dao field and take your seats.” As the clear voice spread, the speaker was none other than True Monarch Hundred Refinements.

“As expected of True Monarch Hundred Refinements, who became famous seven hundred years ago. He actually broke through from the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm to the late stage in just over six hundred years!” Ye Xuecang murmured with emotion, sensing the cultivator's cultivation level.

True Monarch Hundred Refinements did not hide his aura, and the Nascent Soul cultivators beside him also barely concealed their own cultivation levels.

There were as many as five Nascent Souls, and he had heard that in the Earth Immortal Realm, Medicine King Valley had also lost several Nascent Souls.

This was enough to show the foundation of Medicine King Valley over the past thousands of years.

The crowd walked out of the peach blossom forest and began to climb the mountain.

The venue for this lecture was located on the mountainside of Medicine King Mountain.

However, this time, no one dared to fly up, even the Nascent Soul cultivators walked up the mountain.

When they reached the mountainside, they saw an extremely wide and square plaza, and on the plaza, there was also a huge platform ten zhang wide and three zhang high.

Unlike celebrations, which would have cheers, gift-giving, and banquets, this lecture was purely a lecture. The congratulatory gifts had already been delivered before entering the mountain gate of Medicine King Valley.

Of course, it was also possible to go up the mountain without sending a gift.

After all, this kind of lecture was a way to accumulate blessings and merit in the cultivation world. Medicine King Valley would not refuse, but it would leave a bad impression.

The congratulatory gift sent by the Ye family was a three-thousand-year-old fourth-order spiritual herb, not too precious, but definitely not shabby.

Of course, in addition to the pure lecture, there would also be Dao competitions, sparring, and even the opening of the mountain gate to recruit disciples after the lecture.

This was similar to the lectures after the Golden Core Ceremony or the Nascent Soul Ceremony.

After all, there were many rogue cultivators among the cultivators listening to the lecture.

At the same time, if there were different understandings of the lecture content, sometimes a competition or demonstration could lead to a better grasp of the material.

Before long, the plaza was filled with as many as thirty thousand people.

Among these thirty thousand people, there were countless rogue cultivators, as well as many cultivators from various countries and sects.

Among them, there were more than forty Nascent Soul cultivators, nearly two hundred Golden Core cultivators, and countless Purple Mansion cultivators.

Of course, don't think that the number of high-level cultivators is exaggerated. You must know that this is the gathering of Nascent Soul sects and Golden Core Purple Mansion forces from the entire Eastern Region.

On the other hand, many Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment cultivators were from the Zhao, Yan, Jin, and Wei kingdoms in the cultivation world.

“If the lecture time were delayed a little longer, I'm afraid there would be even more cultivators!” Ye Jinghu couldn't help but sigh, looking at such a grand scene.

The notification time for the Medicine King Valley lecture was only a little over half a year, and many Foundation Establishment and Purple Mansion cultivators simply didn't have time to rush over.

“I wonder when the cultivators from Penglai Immortal Sect will appear.” Unlike Ye Jinghu's observation target, Ye Jingyu was now only focused on the cultivators from Penglai Immortal Sect.

He wanted to know if a Transformation God cultivator from Penglai would appear this time.

If Heavenly Virtue Divine Lord appears, presumably the Divine Monk of Golden Light Temple will also show up. Only then can the direction of the Eastern Region in the next hundred years be truly determined.

Whether the Ye family can continue to develop in the Eastern Region depends on these two people.

“Those two pavilions of the same height as the lecture stage should be prepared for the Penglai Immortal Sect and the high monks of Golden Light Temple.” Ye Xuecang also looked at the two empty pavilions in the most central location.

These two pavilions were built extremely luxuriously, with fourth-order spiritual wood Crimson-Patterned Golden Nanmu as pillars, white jade pine desks on top, and many spiritual fruits placed on them.

Although it was a lecture, the people listening below were still quite different.

The Nascent Soul forces were in pavilions two zhang high, the Golden Core forces were in pavilions one zhang high, and as for the Purple Mansion and below, there was no distinction. They were all on the flat ground of the plaza, with at most some differences in the material of the chairs and the location.

Therefore, it was easy to see the gap in strength between the forces at a glance.

“Second Grandfather, Great Grandfather, the cultivators from Qinghe Sect and Heavenly Corpse Gate are frequently observing us.”

Unlike the targeting of Qinghe Sect and Heavenly Corpse Gate in the Guest-Welcoming Palace, Medicine King Valley treated Qinghe Sect and Heavenly Corpse Gate according to the standards of Nascent Soul forces in front of the lecture stage.

Therefore, Ye Jingyu could sense it at a glance.

“Be careful.” Ye Xuecang also saw the gazes of several people, which seemed a little off, especially the expression of Qingfeng Shangren.

They had heard that Qingfeng Shangren's reputation in the Qinghe Sect was not very good. It was said that he was headstrong, arrogant, and the only thing he could show off was his sword Dao talent, and his ancestors had made great contributions to the Qinghe Sect.

Under Ye Jingyu's observation, Qingfeng Shangren not only did not avoid his gaze, but also frequently looked towards the coastal sects such as Haoyang Dao Temple and Tianshui Sect.

It seemed that he was secretly contacting several sects.

Moreover, these sects were all forces that had suffered relatively large losses in the Azure Cloud Sea.

The Ye family did not have any Nascent Soul cultivators at this moment, so naturally they did not have the ability to intercept the divine sense transmission.

Ye Xuecang could only let the cultivators be careful.

While the others hesitated, several Nascent Soul cultivators from the high platform had already landed in front of it.

They were the same cultivators who had descended from the sky and stood beside the spiritual lotus.

Leading them were True Lord Bai Lian and other Nascent Soul cultivators from the Medicine King Valley, along with a venerable monk clad in golden robes.

Ye Xuecang and the others naturally didn't recognize this high monk; in fact, hardly any cultivators from the Eastern Region did.

The golden-robed monk leaped from the front of the platform and landed on one of the only two high platforms, where he began to wait quietly.

The lecture was scheduled to begin at Si hour (9-11 AM).

With the time approaching, the last pavilion remained empty.

On the stage, the other Nascent Soul cultivators couldn't help but look at True Lord Bai Lian.

Normally, they would wait for Penglai to arrive, even if the time had passed.

"Let's not wait any longer; let the lecture begin!" True Lord Bai Lian shook his head and then spoke loudly.

"Fellow Daoists, this old man is Bai Lian, the Second Elder of the Medicine King Valley, and I will be presiding over today's lecture!"

"Immortal opportunities in the world are for those who are destined, and the great Dao of the world belongs to everyone…"

"I believe everyone is wondering why we are holding this Great Dao Assembly today?"

"To be frank, my senior brother, True Lord Bai Yao, has fortunately obtained a sixth-order Deity Transformation treasure medicine and has entered seclusion to break through to the Deity Transformation Divine Lord realm. This is an immortal opportunity for the Medicine King Valley and even for the countries of the Eastern Region. Therefore, we are giving this lecture to bestow it upon the world and earn a share of merit for my senior brother!"

"Secondly, we have also invited venerable monks from the Western Region immortal sect, Golden Light Temple, of the Great Yu Realm, and True Lords from the Penglai immortal sect to lecture for everyone, wishing you all smooth progress on the Great Dao…"

With True Lord Bai Lian's impassioned explanation, the Medicine King Valley had already secured the moral high ground.

Just at that moment, a ray of spiritual light finally appeared.

True Lord Tai Peng's figure emerged from the spiritual light, followed by his disciple, who had once been at the Purple Mansion stage but had now broken through to the peak of the Golden Core realm.

The two landed in the remaining fourth-order spiritual wood pavilion.

"Daoist Bai Yao is about to break through; why didn't you inform the sect? The sect could have bestowed a sixth-order spiritual vein and sixth-order spiritual medicine, so there was no need to break through here on Medicine King Mountain!" True Lord Tai Peng said casually.

However, everyone could clearly hear the suppressed anger in True Lord Tai Peng's voice.

His late arrival was obviously intentional.

Without waiting for True Lord Bai Lian to respond, True Lord Tai Peng looked to the side:

"Monk Jin Ling, coming to the Eastern Region under Penglai's jurisdiction without informing this old man, do you think Penglai is inhospitable?" True Lord Tai Peng's words instantly made everyone feel the sharpness of his presence.

Even the Medicine King Valley cultivators, who had prepared and rehearsed countless times, were still intimidated by True Lord Tai Peng's aura.

Not to mention the other cultivators at the lecture.

Ye Xuecang and Ye Jingyu's expressions changed drastically.

"Daoist Tai Peng is naturally hospitable, but several disciples of Bai Yao's Medicine King Valley are destined for my Buddhist sect and have joined my Golden Light Temple. Shouldn't this monk come and see?"

"Disciples invited by the sect to lecture, can't they participate?"

"Of course, if Daoist Tai Peng still feels it's inappropriate, you can directly inquire with Martial Uncle Gu Meng." True Monk Jin Ling also spoke directly.

His words were equally forceful.

Moreover, these words left True Lord Tai Peng with no loopholes to exploit.

It was true that the Eastern Region was under Penglai's jurisdiction, but these affiliated sects were only affiliated, and they were naturally free to join other sects.

As long as their Golden Light Temple did not occupy territory in the Eastern Region, they were naturally entitled to protect their disciples.

Upon hearing this, True Lord Tai Peng's expression darkened. His gaze swept over the surrounding spiritual mountains, as if trying to see clearly whether Bai Yao was breaking through here, and also to be sure whether the Deity Transformation Divine Monk Gu Meng of the Golden Light Temple was present.

He knew in his heart that the Golden Light Temple's actions were merely to protect the Medicine King Valley for a hundred years, giving Bai Yao time to break through.

Once Bai Yao broke through, the Medicine King Valley would also become an immortal sect, and with the support of the Golden Light Temple, they might even be able to seize territory from their Penglai Sect in the Eastern Region.

After all, they were both native forces of the Eastern Region, and they naturally had the right to contend for the governance of the Eastern Region.

This was naturally not what True Lord Tai Peng wanted to see, but at this point, he was helpless.

To prevent hidden dangers, they had to find Bai Yao first. Now, not to mention finding Bai Yao, they couldn't even force Bai Yao to show himself by threatening the Medicine King Valley.

Unless they really forcibly annihilated the Medicine King Valley here, fought with the Golden Light Temple, and then attacked the Western Region, forcing the Golden Light Temple to hand over Bai Yao.

But the key was that Penglai currently had unspeakable difficulties…

"This is a lecture; Daoist Tai Peng, don't miss the hour, or Martial Uncle might be displeased," True Lord Jin Ling continued.

True Lord Tai Peng did not continue to speak, but instead looked at the void, and then, as if he had an answer, sat down in front of the pavilion.

But he did not reply.

Seeing this, True Lord Bai Lian in the distance breathed a sigh of relief and continued to speak.

What he feared was that the Penglai Sect would disregard everything and kill everyone. In this Eastern Region, even with the help of the Golden Light Temple, if Penglai went crazy, they would really not be able to survive, let alone continue with their planned schemes.

"Everyone, to welcome the fellow Daoists from the two great immortal sects, our valley has specially prepared Azure Jade Spiritual Dew to share with you all!"
