Chapter 1007 Former Sect Master

This night was far from peaceful. The moon shone brightly amidst sparse stars, and the dim lights flickered as the news of the Elder of the Gate of Life from the Human Daoist Sect being played spread widely among households.

However, tomorrow was the day of the Dao conference, so after some discussion, everyone went to bed early.

The next day, as soon as dawn broke, many beings awoke from their slumber, as the Dao conference was not something to be missed.

Wu Tian was no different. Upon waking, he summoned Qin Yuhan and the others to his side.

At the same time, Wu Tian infused a trace of his Immortal Spiritual Power into each person’s body,

“Why do this?” Qin Yuhan asked in confusion.

Si’er and the others were also puzzled,

Only Daoist Ziyang maintained a calm expression,

Right,

I don’t understand either,

But I’m a reclusive expert, I can’t be as ignorant as the others.

“To prevent the cultivation of a demonic heart by the Dao,” Wu Tian smiled slightly, hearing this, Daoist Ziyang and the others were stunned, could it be?

Cultivation of a demonic heart by the Dao?

Is it so easy to plant?

And with such strict prevention?

Daoist Ziyang pondered and said, “The cultivation of a demonic heart by the Dao, from what I understand, originates from the Heavenly Demon Strategy. It’s powerful, yes, but with our current cultivation, which is no longer in the ordinary realm, how could we fear the cultivation of a demonic heart by the Dao?”

Fool!

The Human Daoist Sect’s cultivation of a demonic heart by the Dao and the one in the Heavenly Demon Strategy share similarities,

But it’s even more powerful,

The cultivation of a demonic heart by the Dao in the Heavenly Demon Strategy is barely within the martial arts range,

Whereas the Human Daoist Sect’s version is conceived by this Wutian Celestial Emperor, a creation of the Dao Emperor, completely belonging to the realm of fantasy.

Someone might say a word and it’s possible for a Dao seed to be planted in you, even the air you breathe, or the rain under the sky could become mediators,

Planting the cultivation of a demonic heart by the Dao within you.

The three thousand Daoist paths, the eight hundred minor methods,

This cultivation of a demonic heart by the Dao is one of the three thousand Daoist paths, yet the methods of planting it belong to the eight hundred minor methods.

As Wu Tian and the others descended the stairs, Wei San greeted them warmly,

“Good morning, Mr. Wu Tian, you all woke up early. I didn’t expect you to be up so early too.”

Wei San is amiable towards others but not this cordial because he thinks Wu Tian resembles the person in his ancestor’s painting, which is why he acts this way,

“Uncle Xiao Er, we’re heading to the Dao conference; do you want to come with us?” the little one invited,

Their voice full of innocence,

Quite adorable,

Which made Wei San’s eyes light up, but as he remembered something, he shook his head,

“No, no, I’m the little second, how can this inn do without a little second? Although I also want to see, but what if a guest needs a room or some food during this time?” Wei San may lack talent and has no noble stature now, but he knows what responsibility means,

Wu Tian nodded. As he prepared to leave the inn with the others,

Wei San suddenly called out, “Mr. Wu Tian, remember to return safely, I’ll have food ready for you, and yes, it’s free.”

Wu Tian laughed; it seems Wei San offering free meals was his way of making things clear,

Wei San would surely follow the ancestral instructions left by Wei Tianbao, wanting to give Wu Tian half of the inn,

But Wu Tian wouldn’t accept it.

At this moment, the morning air was fresh. The Human City sat on loess land, with high city walls and mostly mud-brick houses, resembling the scenery of Earth City or the Ancient City of Xinjiang,

Although it was still early, the streets were crowded due to the Dao conference.

Wu Tian held the little one in one arm while wrapping the other arm around Qin Yuhan. Qin Yuhan wondered if he was showing off their relationship when Wu Tian moved his steps, a layer of aura enveloped Wu Tian, causing those around them to instinctively make way.

Daji looked at Qin Yuhan with envy, while Si’er and the other women laughed behind them. Dao Feng and others felt a pang of jealousy as their master and mistress flaunted their relationship in front of them, leaving them, who were single, at a loss.

The most troubled among them was Dao Feng. As a monk in his past life, he and Yan Zhi couldn’t be together,

In this life, is there hope?

“…” The one least affected was Li Yuanba; he couldn’t understand the purpose of women in the slightest.

Qin Yuhan, held by Wu Tian, felt a bit annoyed as she sensed his tight embrace, thinking about confronting him with the issue of Ye Qingxian, yet he seemed ready to take advantage of her?

As Wu Tian hugged her,

She quietly reached around to pinch Wu Tian’s waist with force,

Let’s see how long you can hold me!

Qin Yuhan’s strength meant little to Wu Tian. Even if she were to strangle him by the neck, she couldn’t possibly strangle him to death.

Wu Tian only tightened his grip on Qin Yuhan’s slender waist.

Alas, I’m too weak in strength,

Qin Yuhan sighed, for now, she could only let Wu Tian continue holding her like this.

… The Dao conference was held in the Human City. It wasn’t held in the Human Daoist Sect because the Sect Master had a peculiar cleanliness obsession. He didn’t mind his hands being dirty, but he minded others being too dirty!

Believing that hosting the Dao conference at the Human Daoist Sect would make it chaotic and messy,

Even the commoners stepping onto the Human Daoist Sect’s land made him feel it was sullied.

Thus, they moved the Debate Platform to the Human City, situated at the center of the city square,

It took an hour’s walk from the inn, but even the common people excitedly headed there, as such grand events were rare in a small city.

When Wu Tian and the others arrived at the Debate Platform, the morning sun had fully risen, blazing in the sky,

Looking at the Debate Platform, it had a drop of Dao Emperor’s blood, which is why the Debate Platform possessed astonishing power and unbelievable strength.

The Debate Platform was thirty meters long and wide, with a height of three meters, made of peach wood, the peach wood from the Immortal Emperor Realm being the same yet different from that of Earth City.

Peach wood, whether in the Immortal Emperor Realm or Earth City, is known for warding off disaster and evil, hailed as divine wood.

Peach wood is also called “Dragon Subduing Wood” and “Ghost Frightening Wood,” and it is the most commonly used material for dispelling evil and crafting ghost-controlling tools.

As a result, Taoists often use it to craft swords,

Thereby spreading the legend of peach wood’s power to ward off evil.

The peach wood from the Immortal Emperor Realm is even harder, comparable to steel,

To the left of the Debate Platform was a pavilion, constructed just last night and completed today, consuming considerable manpower and resources.

The Elder of the Gate of Life and the Elder of the Gate of Death, among others, were already there,

The Sect Master was absent,

In the place originally meant for the Sect Master, there were two large chairs,

Since the Human Daoist Sect had two Sect Masters.

Apart from the current Sect Master, there was an old Sect Master who rarely handled matters but would still attend the Dao conference.

On the right, it was where the Taoists from Tienyi Daoist Temple and other temples sat without a pavilion, each bringing a cushion to sit on.

“The beings from Tienyi Daoist Temple indeed look like Taoists,” Daoist Ziyang remarked upon seeing this. As someone from the Taoist tradition himself, he couldn’t help but speak out disapprovingly, “But this Human Daoist Sect… their attire and demeanor, they don’t resemble Taoists at all.”

Wu Tian nodded,

At that moment,

“The old Sect Master has arrived.”

The old Sect Master from the Human Daoist Sect arrived, and Wu Tian’s spiritual sense suddenly revealed the unexpected; he actually recognized this old Sect Master from the Human Daoist Sect.
