Chapter 350: How to Enter the Heavenly Tower
Give the macaque a slap in the face!
Lin Ye thought this macaque was too powerful.
As the guardian beast of Qingyun Sect, it would have been fine if it had not been able to bear the humiliation and disgrace when it was captured by Houtu Sect, but it actually became the sect's guardian beast.
People go to high places and water flows to low places. It would have been fine if they had chosen Houtu Sect, but now that they realized that I had defeated Houtu Sect, they reappeared and wanted to go back to Qingyun Sect with me.
This behavior is so similar to that of the beast cattle.
Change with the times.
You have to give him a slap in the face.
Lin Ye and Zhou Li left Houtu Sect in a high-profile manner, and the news quickly spread through the mouths of Houtu Sect's disciples, with Sanyi County as the center, to the entire Huzhou.
It is impossible for these disciples of Houtu Sect to have any deep feelings for the Sect. Moreover, one characteristic of the Tianwaitian practice sect is that disciples can change sects.
As long as the original sect agrees, disciples can join other sects.
This was also the reason why the woman asked Lin Ye to switch to join the Qingtian Sect.
The disciples of Houtu Sect knew very well that since their leader had been beaten like this, Houtu Sect was finished. If they chose to leave, the leader would not stop them.
There were even several disciples from the Houtu Sect who wanted to switch to the Qingyun Sect.
"Let's talk about this after Senior Brother Qingyun comes back."
Lin Ye was a little surprised when listening to Hong Lan's report. The disciples of Houtu Sect are all talented.
I actually already understand the rule of survival: if you can't beat them, just join them.
The Qingyun Sect belongs to Taoist Qingyun. Although I am his junior uncle, I should not make the decision in this matter.
The most important thing is that he has realized that Houtu Sect’s targeting of Qingyun Sect is probably not just a simple intention to seize Qingyun Sect’s mountain gate.
The woman who appeared from the Qingtian Sect explained the problem.
…
…
Three days later, Taoist Qingyun returned to Qingyun Sect.
He looked tired and exhausted.
Taoist Qingyun did not know about the changes that had taken place in the Qingyun Sect in the past few days because he had been busy on his way and missed the spread of the news.
It was not until he learned everything from Hong Lan that he was stunned for a while, and then his expression became somewhat complicated.
At the back mountain, under the welcoming pine tree, there were only Taoist Qingyun and Lin Ye at the moment. Hong Lan and four other disciples were ordered by the Taoist master not to come here.
Obviously, Taoist Qingyun had something to say to Lin Ye and didn't want his disciples to know.
"Junior Brother Yu, I want to ask you a question. Will it harm Qingyun Sect?"
Taoist Qingyun looked at Lin Ye very seriously. Lin Ye pondered for a moment and shook his head.
"With your words, I can rest assured." Taoist Qingyun nodded, and then suddenly sighed: "Hou Tu Sect has been causing trouble for our Qingyun Sect over the years. It is not the intention of the Hou Tu Sect Master, but the instruction from the Qingtian Sect."
There was no surprise on Lin Ye's face, he had already guessed this.
If the leader of Houtu Sect is not a fool, after showing his strength, the best choice for him is to reconcile with Qingyun Sect.
The leader of Houtu Sect did not do so, and a female disciple of Qingtian Sect came to speak up for Houtu Sect. There was no kinship relationship between the two, which already explained the problem.
"Qingtian Sect is a sect in Qingzhou. Although it is not the number one sect in Qingzhou, it is still among the top three. As for us, Qingyun Sect and Qingtian Sect have had grievances since the generation of our founder."
Taoist Qingyun told Lin Ye about the feud between Qingyun Sect and Qingtian Sect.
This grudge dates back to a very early time.
It existed as early as when Tianwaitian was just created.
Because Qingyun Sect and Qingtian Sect belong to the same sect, the two sects came from the same sect before entering Tianwai Tian.
The Qingtian Sect split from the Qingyun Sect.
The reason for the split was very simple. The founder of Qingyun Sect did not agree to enter Tianwai Tian at that time, but the founder of Qingtian Sect wanted to come in.
These two were the leader and grand elder of Qingyun Sect at that time.
Later, the Great Elder led a group of disciples into the Tianwai Tian and founded the Qingtian Sect.
The leader of Qingyun Sect stayed in the outside world with another group of disciples, but later for some reason, the leader brought his disciples into Tianwai Tian.
However, at that time, the leader of Qingyun Sect and his disciples opened the sect in Huzhou, while the great elder established the sect in Qingzhou.
The leader of Qingyun Sect knew that the Great Elder and his companions were in Tianwaitian, but the Great Elder did not know that the leader had also come in with his disciples.
It was not until a later meeting between disciples of the two sects that the grand elder of Qingyun Sect learned about this matter.
The great elder was extremely angry about this and felt that the sect leader did it on purpose.
Because according to the original inheritance rules of Qingyun Sect, the next leader of Qingyun Sect would be inherited by the great elder, and the leader of Qingyun Sect when it entered Tianwai Tian was the son of the original leader.
In the eyes of the Great Elder, the Sect Master didn't want to pass the position to him, so he deliberately said that he would not enter Tianwai Tian, in order to pass the position to his son. For this reason, he was full of resentment towards the new Qingyun Sect.
"In fact, the reason for the founding master's death was not because of this. The founding master died in battle outside. At that time, other disciples jointly recommended the master's son to inherit the position of the master."
Taoist Qingyun sighed: "It is unknown what dangers Qingyun Sect encountered in the outside world at that time, but the reason for choosing has been passed down."
"The Great Elder was still holding a grudge against Qingyun Sect because of a misunderstanding, and even set a sect rule for the Qingtian Sect. The goal of the Qingtian Sect's leaders of all generations was to destroy Qingyun Sect."
“It’s just that in the past, Qingyun Sect was no weaker than Qingtian Sect, and the successive sect masters of Qingtian Sect were unable to do anything to Qingyun Sect. Until the last few hundred years, Qingyun Sect encountered an incident and its strength declined, and Qingtian Sect began to suppress Qingyun Sect again.”
"Hou Tu Sect is a subordinate sect of Qing Tian Sect. When Hou Tu Sect was established near Qing Yun Sect, Master knew that it was the work of Qing Tian Sect. And over the years, I have been tolerant and even compensated Hou Tu Sect because of Qing Tian Sect behind Hou Tu Sect."
After listening to Taoist Qingyun's words, Lin Ye didn't know what to say. This grudge sounded like a child's playing house.
Just split up if you want to. The Qingtian Sect is really powerful as they can continue the feud for a thousand years.
"Brother Yu, if you join Qingyun Sect, it means you will have to face Qingtian Sect. You must think carefully about this."
Taoist Qingyun told Lin Ye all this so that Lin Ye could make his own choice.
The Qingyun Sect has a powerful enemy in the form of the Qingtian Sect.
"It seems like I don't have a choice." Lin Ye spread his hands, "I beat up the Qingtian Sect's disciples severely."
Taoist Qingyun smiled, he knew that this was just an excuse. If Yu Long wanted to leave Qingyun Sect, Qingtian Sect would definitely not cause trouble for Yu Long again.
"Okay, this is your ID ."
Taoist Qingyun took out a jade token from his arms. It was an identity token that everyone in the Central Continent had. Having this jade token meant that Lin Ye was a member of the Central Continent, which was somewhat similar to the ID cards of various countries in the real world.
Without this thing, you are an illegal resident.
Due to the small space, the Central Continent does not strictly check the identities of outsiders, but they still need to be guaranteed by a sect. Lin Ye's identity as Yu Long was guaranteed by Taoist Qingyun.
"With this jade token, you will be no different from the cultivators of the Central Continent. You can enjoy everything that the cultivators of the Central Continent can, including entering the outer heavenly tower."
When mentioning the Tianwai Tower, Taoist Qingyun stared at Lin Ye. Lin Ye's heart skipped a beat, but his expression did not change.
"The Heavenly Tower is the greatest treasure of the Central Continent, and it is what all practitioners want to enter. However, the requirements for admission are extremely harsh, with only three vacancies every ten years, and the three vacancies for this session have actually been decided."
The election is held every ten years, with three places available each time.
This year marks the tenth year.
But the competition for the quota started five years ago and was confirmed in this last year.
Lin Ye's eyes narrowed. It was obviously impossible for him to stay in Tianwaitian for another ten years.
"After all, Qingyun Sect was once a large sect, and some of its disciples competed for places in the Outer Heaven. To enter the Outer Heaven, one must first be the strongest person under the Yuanshen of a state, and secondly, must be under the age of sixty."
Sixty years old is the prime of life for a practitioner.
Even in the Heaven Beyond Heaven, being able to cultivate to the late stage of the Hidden God Realm at the age of sixty is considered a genius. And if one wants to be invincible in the Hidden God Realm, one must at least reach the Great Perfection of the Hidden God Realm.
Even though the woman from Qingtian Sect is already in the middle stage of Cangshen, she still has a long way to go from the middle stage to the late stage.
"After getting a state's quota, the next step is to compete with the strong men from other states. However, this competition will not be made public. It is usually conducted in private and will not be announced to the public until the day of entering the tower."
"Is there no other way?" Lin Ye asked with a frown.
"There is a way, but it is a very difficult way."
"What is the solution?"
Taoist Qingyun answered word by word: "I will challenge all the strong men under the Yuanshen realm in the ten states outside the sky who are less than sixty years old."
Since we don't know who will get the three places, we will challenge everyone. In this way, the top ten sects will have to give him a place.
Because according to the rules set by the major sects in Tianwai Tian, the three strongest people below the Yuanshen realm must be allowed to enter Tianwai Tian.
Even the top ten sects dare not violate this rule. Once violated, it will cause the outrage of all the sects in Tianwai Tian.
"So, my first step now is to make a name for myself in Huzhou, and Qingtian Sect is just the right place for that."
The Qingtian
Lin Ye and Taoist Qingyun looked at each other and smiled. Everything was said without words.
However, Taoist Qingyun was shocked in his heart. It seemed that the strength of his junior brother was even stronger than he expected. It seemed that he did not take the Qingtian Sect seriously at all.
