The five elders of Guishan Seminary sat together. Li Shuyang sat at the end, holding a cup of tea and sipping it without interrupting.
The five elders are all peers and have good relations with each other.
The wedding of Nie Yun, the genius disciple of Lao Shufeng, is not a small matter in the sect, because Nie Yun's cultivation and status mean that he will hold an important position in Guishan Monastery in the future, and if nothing else happens, he will become It is not impossible for him to become an elder. Even if he does not become an elder, he will definitely be the backbone of the sect. Therefore, it is very important for him to form a Taoist companion for the future arrangement of the sect.
However, this matter was still handled in a low-key manner after the five elders discussed it. Because the external situation of Guishan Monastery has been a bit delicate recently and the internal situation is at a critical moment, the wedding that was supposed to be celebrated was limited to Laoshu Peak. However, the five elders still arrived at the wedding venue to give them the face they deserved, and they also communicated with Nie Yun in advance.
"Luo Xuan broke through the back realm this time and entered the seventh level of Xuanhai. Can the news be verified clearly?"
"Well, after verification, Luo Xuan invited several familiar sect leaders to Tianchan Sect to watch the ceremony, and also held a big celebration ceremony. Many people saw it with their own eyes, and they have indeed entered the Xuanhai Jing after Jing.”
The current external situation of Guishan Monastery is actually that Luo Xuan, the leader of the Tianchan Sect, ended his year and a half of retreat half a month ago, and announced that he had achieved a successful breakthrough and entered the seventh level of the Mysterious Sea Realm in one fell swoop.
This news is not good news for Guishan Seminary.
There are only two first-class sects in the entire Jingxi area, Guishan Monastery and Tianchan Sect. The saying that one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers is also very appropriate for these two sects. Guishan Monastery and Tianchan Sect have always been competing fiercely in terms of sect strength and resource allocation.
The faces of both sides are naturally their respective sect masters. What was used to suppress the situation was also the strength of the respective clan masters.
Previously, Luo Xuan, the leader of the Tianchan Sect, and Huang Yansong, the leader of the Guishan Monastery, were both at the sixth level of the Xuanhai Realm. They could be said to have the same strength regardless of life or death.
But now the situation has changed. Luo Xuan has entered the seventh level of the Xuanhai Realm, but Huang Yansong is still in seclusion. When will he come out? After leaving seclusion, will he step into the seventh level of the mysterious sea like Luo Xuan? These are all unknowns.
Don't underestimate the individual strength competition between the sect leaders. When this difference in realm is magnified to the entire sect, it will produce changes that cannot be underestimated. The Tianchan Sect is getting stronger and stronger, and the Guishan Monastery is gradually being suppressed. As time goes by, it will be very bad.
"Do you think the sect leader has a good chance of breaking through?"
"I don't know. But judging from the state of the sect leader before retreat, there is still a chance."
No one dares to say that the breakthrough in the Yuan Dan realm is absolutely certain, let alone the Xuanhai realm with "tribulation"? Breaking through the Yuan Dan realm is considered to be a self-exploration, while every breakthrough in the Xuanhai realm is about defeating oneself, and is accompanied by extremely high risks.
"Regardless of whether the sect master can break through, we cannot let the Tianchan Sect make a big fuss about Luo Xuan entering the seventh level of the Xuanhai."
"It's natural. Haven't we discussed it before? I just don't know if Shen Hao will report the news truthfully. Are you too scared to report it?"
Don't think this is an alarmist statement. Second-rate sects are already terrifying to worldly forces, let alone several second-rate sects working together. If Shen Hao is worried about making too much noise, he will be trapped, or he does not dare to provoke such a powerful enemy. If so, then it is very likely that he took the information but pretended not to know.
As soon as these words came out, the four people present turned to look at Li Shuyang, who was sitting next to him drinking tea. Among the five of them, Li Shuyang and Shen Hao had the most contact, and Li Shuyang was actually handling this matter, so Li Shuyang had the most say in this matter.
Li Shuyang put down the teacup, sighed, and said: "Well, Shen Hao climbed up step by step from a pawn in the Xuanqing Guard to his current position as the commander. You should be able to guess how many intrigues and life-and-death decisions Shen Hao experienced in the process. How can such a person be compared to those of us who hide in the mountain gate and devote ourselves to cultivation? Can we see through him in just a few words? I don't have this ability."
"I didn't say you saw through him, but I asked you if you think Shen Hao would hide it and not report it?"
Li Shuyang shook his head and said: "I think this possibility is very small. On the one hand, according to my apprentice Nie Yun, Shen Hao has a resolute temperament and is by no means the kind of person who is afraid of difficulties. Moreover, in his past history, he has never been afraid of failure. This time, even if the power behind the Wang family exceeded his expectations, it would never make him afraid. On the other hand, behind Shen Hao was the Xuanqing Guard and the Jingjiu Dynasty. Where did the fear come from?
On the other hand, I still feel that the title of "named disciple" that Shen Hao hangs is not appropriate. "When he said the last sentence, Li Shuyang's expression was obviously hesitant.
"Oh? Then Shen Hao is a late talent, and he has another opportunity for enlightenment. It is also possible to go to the Yuandan realm later. It is definitely not a loss to give the status of a registered disciple, and he can also take this opportunity to contact the senior officials of the Jing Dynasty. This It’s a rare opportunity.”
Unexpectedly, Li Shuyang shook his head and said: "The problem lies in his talent. Anyway, I have never seen a late-blooming genius. Is Shen Hao a special case? I secretly used it when I met him before. Perception tested his soul and sea of consciousness, and found that the strength of his soul and the thickness of his sea of consciousness were far beyond what he should be at the third level of the Yuan Dan realm, and even compared to some people at the eighth or ninth level of the Yuan Dan realm. Difference."
"What? You're not kidding, are you?"
Li Shuyang knew what he said was scary, but what he said was the truth. So he continued: "Although it is not absolutely accurate, based on my experience, Shen Hao's soul strength and consciousness sea thickness will only be stronger and not weaker than what I perceived."
"hiss......"
As soon as Li Shuyang finished speaking, the other four people all gasped. They are all monks in the Xuanhai realm, and two of them are top masters in the middle realm of the Xuanhai realm. They have been on this path of cultivation for hundreds or even nearly a thousand years. How could they not know that the strength of the soul and the thickness of the sea of consciousness are very important to a monk? What does it mean? That means more lasting talent, toughness, and deeper potential!
The strength of the soul and the thickness of the sea of consciousness at the third level of the Yuan Dan realm can be compared with those at the eighth or ninth level of the Yuan Dan realm. This is scary! Take Nie Yun, the most famous among the new generation disciples of Guishan Monastery, for example. When he was at the third level of Yuan Dan Realm, his soul strength and consciousness sea thickness were definitely not so exaggerated.
"So you think that Shen Hao is probably a monk with genius level talent?"
Li Shuyang nodded silently. He did think so, and he was certain after secretly observing it in his courtyard.
"Hiss, genius-level talent?!"
"In this way, the status of a registered disciple is indeed not suitable for him. However, he has a special status, and it is not suitable to accept him as a true disciple. Otherwise... find some somewhere else to make up for him in the future. Is it easy to talk?"
