Chapter 186 The Great Tribulation Begins
Master Yuchen had actually fought with Chen Chunan, and he was absolutely certain of Chen Chunan's identity.
But he wasn't stupid. Yun Xuanzi wasn't a good person, and his saving him might not have been out of kindness.
Rather than having Yun Xuanzi report to the sect, it's better to just do it myself and show that I don't have much covetousness for the new path.
That way, we can take advantage of the chaos later.
As for whether it would be effective or not, Yu Chen didn't care too much.
He only has a chance if he stirs up the water first.
Otherwise, given his cultivation level and experience, even if the sect were to capture the new Dao Master, he wouldn't get a single benefit.
now
Zhongyu Taoism
The Dao Sect received a message from Daoist Yu Chen that all the powerful beings above the Nascent Soul stage had gathered together.
An elderly man with wrinkled skin and white hair, who was at the head of the group, looked around and slowly spoke: "Has everyone received the message from Junior Nephew Yu Chen?"
"I have received it. I didn't expect Shindo to be born so early."
"But that Dao Lord is quite powerful, and it won't be easy to defeat him."
"With you and me working together, how could we possibly fail to defeat that Dao Lord? According to Yu Chen, his strength is still below the Tribulation Transcending stage; it's just that his supernatural abilities are quite strange."
Everyone was discussing how to capture Chen Chunan, but one old Taoist priest kept shaking his head.
"Heh heh heh~ So what if you take him? Who's worthy of replacing him?"
After the old Taoist priest finished speaking with a smile, the scene fell silent.
Everyone naturally wants to devour this immature new path, but among the nearly twenty tribulation cultivators in the sect, who is worthy to become the master of that new path?
Seniority-based ranking?
How is that possible?
If that's the case, then let the most senior member of the team go and lead the charge.
Furthermore, the new Daoist Master is still in Chaotian Palace. If he is detained by Chaotian Palace, who will fight to the death?
People die when they fight desperately. These people don't even bother to survive the Heavenly Tribulation just to stay alive. How can you expect them to fight desperately?
the other side
The most low-profile sect leader of the Three Saints Sect, Xuanzong, rang the Gathering Immortal Bell for the first time.
The nine long, melodious tolls of the bell awakened the powerful cultivators who were still cultivating in seclusion in the small grotto.
"The Gathering Immortal Bell? What major event has occurred? Has the sect leader passed away?"
"Perhaps. That sect leader was only two thousand years old, wasn't he? Such a tragic end!"
"Never mind, let's go out and see what happens."
half an hour later
The Xuanzong Sect Master looked at the group of old immortals—or rather, elders—who were astonished that he was still alive, with a dark expression.
But most of these old fogies were his elders, so he couldn't say anything harsh to them.
He could only cough a few times and explain the situation.
"The new path has appeared in the world, and the Dao Master has already understood. I..."
Before the Xuanzong Sect Master could even begin to express his opinion, the crowd below erupted in uproar.
"What? The new path has already appeared?"
Is this news accurate?
The sect leader stood up, his eyes fixed intently on his disciple: "Who sent back the message? Has it been verified? Where is the new Dao Master now?"
"..."
For a moment, everyone was talking at once, leaving the Xuanzong Sect Master unable to get a word in edgewise.
Driven to desperation, the Xuanzong Sect Master unleashed his full magical power and roared, "Shut up, all of you!"
The lively discussion instantly fell silent.
Seeing that everyone had quieted down, the Xuanzong Sect Master quickly spoke:
"Our Xuanzong sect will not contend for this new path, nor should any of its disciples! From this day forward, the sect gates will be closed until the new path has fully emerged. Regardless of seniority, anyone who dares to participate in the struggle for the new path will be expelled from the sect by me, as a warning to others!"
After saying everything he wanted to say, the Xuanzong Sect Master let out a long sigh of relief.
Then he focused his eyes on his nose and his heart on his mind, preparing to face the storm.
"Hehehe, Luo Qing has been the sect leader for a thousand years, and he has certainly lived up to his reputation. Listen to this: anyone who dares to disobey will be expelled from the sect by the power of the sect leader."
"He's afraid we old fogies won't figure things out. Zhenyun has taught us a good disciple!"
"Who says otherwise? I was peacefully in seclusion, and the first thing I did after being woken up was to scold me. People get old and useless. I'd better go back to seclusion and stop causing trouble for the sect leader."
The old man, called Zhenyun, was sweating profusely and repeatedly apologized, saying, "The child is ignorant and only knows how to panic when something happens. I'll talk to him later. Please don't take it to heart, fellow disciples."
The sect leader of Xuanzong felt extremely aggrieved at this moment. He had gone to great lengths to obtain the information from the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, and it was all for their own good!
After the news of Chen Chunan becoming the new leader of the Dao spread far and wide, Chen Chunan became the most talked-about figure in the entire world.
Even Yu Jiaolong, who had returned to the Immortal Abode in the North Sea, heard about this.
Hidden in the shadows, Yu Jiaolong, who was waiting for the old whale and old turtle to act as pioneers in exploring the immortal abode, frowned deeply.
"What kind of kid from the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion doesn't know his own identity? As the new Dao Master, how dare he run around like this? Is it because he's highly skilled and bold, or is he just a newborn calf unafraid of tigers? However, your cultivation speed does indeed give you some reason to be so unrestrained."
After muttering a few words to herself, Yu Jiaolong chose to stand by and watch.
She could ascend to the upper realm at any time and had no intention of consuming Chen Chunan's Dao Fruit, so there was no need for her to get involved in such troublesome matters as the birth of a new Dao.
However, not everyone is as indifferent to the new path as Yu Jiaolong.
They are not yet capable of passing the Nine Heavens Tribulation. If they want to become immortals, the opportunities on the New Path are naturally greater.
Countless greedy people had their thoughts, but Chen Chunan's feat of almost killing the Tribulation Transcending Great Power Yu Chen made many people temporarily calm down.
They want the Dao fruit, not to seek death.
As for the other sects, apart from the eight major sects of the Central Region, the rest can only be described in one word—wait.
They are not qualified to play the game, or rather, only the Three Saints Sect is qualified to play the game now; the other eight sects are just cannon fodder.
And these minor characters don't even deserve to be cannon fodder.
They couldn't even muster enough strength to reach the Tribulation stage, so how could they possibly contend with a new Dao Lord who could fight and nearly kill a Tribulation stage cultivator?
Since it is a new way that has emerged, it must spread its teachings.
If we wait patiently for the dust to settle, we might even get a taste of the new teachings.
...
the other side
After Chen Chunan finished discussing the Dao with Mingxing, he saw everyone off.
After he returned to his room.
The Monkey King reappeared: "That monk is acting strangely. Be careful."
Chen Chunan asked curiously, "Something's not right?"
After recalling his previous feelings, Xin Yuan said, "He harbors a strong killing intent, but it's not directed at anyone in particular. I reckon he's been awakened by an inner demon. Otherwise, he wouldn't have rushed to discuss the Dao with you, especially about cultivating one's nature."
The Monkey King possessed the Eye of Truth, and Chen Chunan still believed what he said.
He immediately nodded and said, "I understand. This monk seems like a good person. Do you have any way to help him?"
The Monkey King shook his head: "The demon arises from within and can only be overcome by oneself; no one else can help. And me... wait? Such heavy calamity energy!"
The monkey's expression changed drastically.
Under his discerning eye, countless calamities converged from all corners of the world toward Chen Chunan and the monk Mingxing, and even those close to Chen Chunan could not escape them.
What made him frown even more was that there were several extremely thick streams of tribulation energy coming from the upper realm.
"This isn't fun anymore!"
