The next day.
As the envoys invited by all parties arrived at Miyun Mountain one after another, the original date arrived.
The succession ceremony for the headmaster of Taiping Dao was officially held.
However, Taiping Dao has just established a foothold in the Evergreen Territory, and its foundation is very shallow. In fact, it does not have much friendship with the many immortal sects around it.
This celebration did not invite too many immortal sects. We are familiar with the Evergreen Immortal Sect, Jiuzhou Immortal Sect, Dongyang Mountain, etc., as well as some immortal sects around the Evergreen Domain. For this reason, every family just sent an invitation.
As for whether the other party will come, that's not clear.
However, on the day of the celebration, Lu Yuan knew that there were still many people coming when he looked at the list of more than thirty immortal sects who came to congratulate them.
The invitation list was sent out, and basically everyone who could come has come.
'It seems that in the eyes of the surrounding sects, our Taiping Dao's status has been approaching that of the Evergreen Immortal Sect. '
On the Immortal Platform, Lu Yuan and Yidan City in front of him were coordinating the transfer of the seal of the headmaster, scanning the many guests below, and thinking in their hearts.
To be able to invite so many immortal sects, only Song Xiren in the Evergreen Territory could achieve such a grand event two hundred years ago when he succeeded to the position of head of the Evergreen Immortal Sect.
The celebration held by Jiuzhou Xianmen for Ding Wanxuan to take over as the leader of the five sects in the western region was extremely shabby.
Among the surrounding immortal sects, except for the various branches of Jiuzhou and the immortal sects vassal to Kyushu, no one from other independent immortal sects paid attention to them at all.
The reason is also very simple.
All the surrounding Immortal Sects actually hate the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect and regard each other as rebellious elements.
Never mind how upright the banner of Jiuzhou is, about reviving the Jiuling Sect's orthodoxy and regaining its homeland.
No matter how high-sounding these reasons are, they cannot change the fact that the Evergreen Territory was messed up by the other side. The entire Evergreen Territory's mountains and rivers were shattered, demons were rampant, people were displaced, and countless immortal sects were destroyed and inherited.
The above evils were all caused by the Nine Provinces Immortal Sect.
And these behaviors are deviant and irritating to the surrounding stable domains and the various immortal sects that strictly follow the righteous path of the immortal sect.
All those with vested interests tend to be stable.
Only by being stable can we pass on our own interests.
What Kyushu is doing is undoubtedly destroying this stability.
Today, Jiuzhou can disrupt a region, destroy an immortal sect, and devastate a country.
If this kind of behavior is not stopped, but is instead praised, how can anyone feel at ease if others follow suit and replicate this behavior in their own homes?
Aren't you afraid that your own Immortal Sect's orthodoxy will also be destroyed?
Therefore, hating Kyushu is actually an instinctive behavior of each immortal sect out of their own morality and survival needs.
Moreover, not to mention, the Nine Provinces Immortal Sect has actually begun to infringe on their interests.
Tianhe Sect, Yuchan Dao, Fenglei Dao, Huaguang Immortal Dynasty, which of these Jiuzhou Immortal Sects is not actively expanding in other areas?
And can the Immortal Sect, whose interests have been harmed by their expansion, be free of hostility and resentment in their hearts?
In the previous battle, the Tianhe Sect was unable to free its hands because it was tied down by the hostile Immortal Sect.
Why are those immortal sects hostile to the Tianhe Sect and stumbling upon him?
It's not because he was bullied by Tianhe.
As for Yuchan Dao and Fenglei Dao, why didn't they want to get involved in the mess in the Evergreen Territory?
It's not because these two immortal sects also noticed the hostility of the surrounding immortal sects towards themselves. In order to avoid causing public anger, they were attacked in groups.
Therefore, we began to proactively stop the war and actively localize to eliminate the grudges with the surrounding immortal sects.
All of the above are the reasons why the surrounding Immortal Sects hate the Kyushu Immortal Sect.
In this kind of environment, who would treat these Nine Provinces Immortal Sects?
It would be an understatement to say that people hate dogs.
However, Jiuzhou Immortal Sect is not popular with people, but Taiping Dao is different.
In the eyes of the surrounding forces, although Taiping Dao has a mysterious origin, its sudden rise is difficult to understand.
But what Taipingdao has done makes many people admire and feel very satisfied.
Think back to when Taiping Dao first came to the Evergreen Territory, what was the situation like in the southern part of the territory?
Demons and monsters are running rampant, the people are in dire straits, all the immortal sects have fallen into evil ways, and people's hearts are not as old as they used to be.
Not only did he not want to slay demons and uphold the right path, but he also mixed with demons and followed them to harm other immortal sects and people.
All kinds of behaviors are shameful, and people want to get rid of them quickly.
But that's about it.
If anyone really wanted to eradicate these scum and restore the righteousness of the Immortal Sect, no one would be willing to do it.
But Taiping Road is different.
As soon as the Taiping Dao arrived, the demons of Youxin Kingdom were wiped out, and then a ghost exorcism ceremony was held to pacify the entire southern region, allowing the immortal sects in the prison to be restrained again. The demons either escaped or died, and the entire atmosphere was solemn. .
For the next three hundred years, Taiping Road has always maintained stability, never taking the initiative to provoke, and maintaining peace with its surrounding neighbors.
Unlike the Evergreen Immortal Sect and the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect, which bullied and annexed the vassal Immortal Sects under their rule, they chose to protect the vassals such as the Golden Fetus Sect.
This kind of behavior of being devoted to the Tao, keeping oneself in peace, safeguarding the right way, and protecting the weak, is set off by the other two neighbors in the domain. In the eyes of the surrounding immortal sects, he is simply a model of the immortal sects and a saint in the world.
Who wouldn't like such a good neighbor?
Therefore, the reputation of Taipingdao has always been very good.
In addition, Taiping Dao has frequently sent its disciples to travel over the years. During his travels, he continued to slay demons and uphold the right path, leaving a good reputation in various domains.
The surrounding immortal sects also have a great impression on the disciples of Taiping Dao.
All of the above combined, when applied to Taipingdao, is a huge favorability factor.
This is a grand ceremony for taking over. The fact that so many people came to congratulate him shows that Taiping Dao has a good reputation in everyone's hearts.
"Fellow Taoists, Pindao is trusted by the head brother and valued by the Supreme Elder. He will succeed to the position of head..."
Under the gaze of all the real people, Lu Yuan took the seal, then held the seal with one hand, while looking at everyone, and said his words of succession.
After speaking thousands of words eloquently, he stopped talking without finishing his words.
I have been hiding in the dark for too long these years, practicing in seclusion, and have never chatted with anyone except for a few clones.
After hundreds of years, he was feeling a little bored.
When I got the chance, I couldn't help but talk a little longer.
Fortunately, all the real people were very patient and listened to him carefully.
Especially Evergreen Immortal Sect and Jiuzhou Immortal Sect, as neighbors, they pay special attention to the policies and guidelines of the next headmaster of Taiping Dao.
Although Lu Yuan's words on succession were long and smelly, some of them still revealed some of the other party's future attitude.
To sum it up, it can be summed up in one word: stable.
No change, no innovation, no movement, and in accordance with the governing ideas of the previous leader, we will continue to lead the peaceful development of Taipingdao and not get involved in external disputes.
Hearing these meanings, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Taiping Dao's current strength and status, every move, affects the overall situation of Evergreen Territory.
If the new headmaster of Taiping Dao is a person who likes to make troubles and is very happy with success, then there will be another setback in these few years of peace.
Evergreen Immortal Sect and Jiuzhou Immortal Sect, which are currently in the recovery period, do not want to see any changes to the existing structure.
Even some people from nearby immortal sects in other areas were satisfied and pleased with the new leader of Taiping Dao's governing ideas.
It is indeed the Tao of Peace, as its name suggests, we do things with peace in mind.
This is right.
What's good about fighting and killing?
He cultivated quietly inside the mountain gate, exchanged Taoist teachings with his brothers, and explored the path to immortality.
When you get tired of staying there, go out to explore the secrets, make friends with other Taoists, travel around the world, fly to the sky and escape from the earth. This is what an immortal should do.
For example, the Evergreen Immortal Sect and the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect, which only know killing, have deviated from the righteous path of the Immortal Sect and tended to the evil path.
This kind of people are looked down upon by many of their colleagues.
"Pindao took over as the head teacher, and all the fellow Taoists came to celebrate, and I was very happy.
On this good day, we are waiting to discuss Taoism together. I am willing to hold a Dharma conference to exchange Taoism in the mountains, make progress together, and explore the path to immortality.
If you fellow Taoists don't mind it, you can join me in this grand event. "
After finishing his speech, Lu Yuan extended an invitation at the end.
As a person who suddenly appeared, although he took over the position of Taiping Dao leader, the immortals around him were actually not familiar with him at all.
As a leader, you will inevitably have to deal with various forces in the future. How can you carry out diplomatic work if you don’t know or be familiar with them all?
It happened that the succession celebration was held at this time, so he invited everyone to stay and discuss mysteries and participate in immortal magic.
By taking advantage of the name of holding the Taoist Dharma Conference, I can make acquaintances with real people and build good relationships with them.
I can also take this opportunity to talk to some people and promote some cooperation.
While thinking this, Lu Yuan looked to one side. On his right hand, not far away, the old Taoist Zhenxuan was staring at him closely.
Their eyes met, and the latter showed him a kind smile, with an inquiring look in his eyes.
Lu Yuan didn't respond too much and looked to the other side. Yang Jihua, the envoy of the Evergreen Immortal Sect, also looked at him curiously.
This new true immortal in the Evergreen Immortal Sect successfully survived the previous battle and was lucky to survive.
After more than three hundred years of experience, Yang Jihua has made rapid progress.
Not only has his cultivation reached the middle stage of human immortality, but his reputation has also spread widely in the Evergreen Domain.
Everyone praised him as the seed of an Earth Immortal. After a thousand years, he has the possibility of becoming an Earth Immortal.
And Song Xiren did regard Yang Jihua as a key training target. Over the years, he had entrusted him with important responsibilities and assigned three countries to his jurisdiction.
With the energy of the Three Kingdoms, an Earth Immortal can be raised.
The purpose of Evergreen Immortal Sect treating him like this is self-evident.
I just hope that he can become the next Earth Immortal and the new pillar of the sect.
By sending such a person as an envoy to Taiping Dao, it is obvious that the Evergreen Immortal Sect attaches great importance to Lu Yuan, the new leader.
I just want to build a good relationship and deepen the alliance between the two sects.
Think about it too.
The previous headmaster of Taiping Dao, Yi Dancheng, who was he?
This is a close friend of the Kyushu Immortal Sect. Every now and then, he will go to the west of the region to visit his fellow Kyushu disciples there.
He even ran out of the territory to exchange feelings with other real people in Kyushu.
These actions all illustrate Yidan City's tendency towards Kyushu.
With such a headmaster here, it is only natural that Taiping Dao and Jiuzhou will get closer and closer, and their relationship will continue to become closer.
Seeing the two families getting closer, how could the Evergreen Immortal Sect not be in a hurry?
If it weren't for the Sea-Dinging Needle of Taiping Dao, the Supreme Elder Qing Guanzi and Song Xiren, the current headmaster of the Evergreen Immortal Sect, were close friends who could appease the Evergreen Immortal Sect's heart.
At this time, I am afraid that the two sects have already been in conflict and are about to fight.
Qing Guanzi is a lubricant, easing the increasingly dry friendship between the two parties and maintaining the surface stability.
But no matter how oily the lubricant is, it cannot solve everything.
In recent years, the relationship between Evergreen Immortal Sect and Taiping Dao has gradually become estranged.
The most obvious example is that the traveling disciples of Taiping Dao rarely go to the territory of the Evergreen Immortal Sect in the north.
Not only at the top, but even at the bottom, the two immortal sects are also drifting apart.
This trend made the senior officials of Evergreen Immortal Sect very worried and uneasy when they saw it.
I've always wanted to make some changes.
Otherwise, if Taiping Dao and Jiuzhou Xianmen really come together and the two families join forces to deal with themselves, things will not be good.
However, the leader of Taiping Dao is Yi Dancheng. With this person in charge who is biased towards Kyushu, it will be troublesome and full of difficulties for the Evergreen Immortal Sect even if they want to improve their relationship.
Some things have already died prematurely before they were done.
So no matter how thoughtful I am, I can only sit back and wait for the opportunity.
Fortunately, Huangtian paid off his hard work.
I didn't have to wait long, only more than three hundred years, this time has really come.
Yi Dancheng wants to abdicate, hand over the teaching to others, and concentrate on cultivating himself, trying to attack the Earth Immortal.
Although it is not good news for the Evergreen Immortal Sect to allow such a person who is inclined to the Nine Provinces Immortal Sect to break through to the Earth Immortal in the future.
But it is so difficult to break through the Earth Immortal. Among the ten Human Immortals, it is difficult for even one to succeed.
Even if everything goes well, it will be difficult to do it even if it takes hundreds or thousands of years.
The hidden dangers of Yidan City are a matter for the future.
But the new headmaster of Taiping Dao is now.
As long as the new leader can be grasped and have a good relationship with him, the current trend of Taiping Dao and Kyushu Immortal Sect getting closer may be reversed.
Under the helm of the new leader, what about turning the tables in favor of their Evergreen Immortal Sect?
With this idea in mind, Yang Jihua came.
This real person whom the Evergreen Immortal Sect focuses on cultivating and who has a close relationship with Taiping Dao is the one who is here to accomplish all of this.
"Master Lu, Yang Jihua, a poor Taoist, would you like to lend me a moment to speak?"
Seeing Lu Yuan's eyes on him, Yang Jihua stepped forward and invited him.
Opportunities cannot wait, and neither can allies.
If you want to seize the opportunity and win over allies, you have to take the initiative.
Before the other party is bewitched by the thieves of the Kyushu Immortal Sect, make friends with the new leader first and make him one of your own.
That's what Yang Jihua thinks.
"Having heard the name of Master Yang for a long time, I have long wanted to meet the Master. If the Master invites me, I dare not to obey."
When Lu Yuan heard the invitation, he glanced at Zhenxuan, who was staring at him from a distance. Seeing that the other party still didn't move, he sneered in his heart and decided to give him a stimulus.
If the fish doesn't bite the bait, it will starve him and create a sense of crisis, so he can take the initiative.
And Yang Jihua happens to be such a medium.
Let Zhenxuan see that he prefers the Evergreen Immortal Sect to see if the other party is in a hurry.
And even though they decided to gradually make good friends with Kyushu, the relationship with the Evergreen Immortal Sect cannot be left behind.
Before full development, it is still necessary to maintain harmony with each other.
that's all.
Under Zhenxuan's gaze, Lu Yuan and Yang Jihua went to a secluded place while chatting and laughing.
