Taihuang Star Seal

Chapter 260 Becoming a Taoist couple?

Deep in the jungle, beside a lake as clear as a mirror, stands a lonely dilapidated temple.

The traces of time are deeply engraved on every inch of its bricks and stones.

The doors and windows of the dilapidated temple were half open.

A small part of the doors and windows simply fell off.

The paintings on the walls have long been mottled and faded.

Even if you look closely, you can only vaguely make out some fuzzy patterns, as if telling people about long-forgotten past events.

As you enter the temple, a damp and cold breath hits you in the face.

A few rays of sunlight shine down from above.

It turned out that the tiles on the roof were incomplete.

The surrounding walls and pillars are all covered with moss, as if silently telling the vicissitudes of time...

An unknown statue of a deity lay diagonally on the altar with one leg missing.

There were some scattered incense burners and residual ashes next to the altar.

Occasionally, a breeze blew in, and the tattered curtains in the temple began to sway and make a rustling sound.

At first glance, it sounds like Buddhist music.

Ordinary cultivators passing by this place, or even living in the temple, would probably never have thought that this dilapidated temple is actually the entrance to a certain "blessed land"!

"Miss, is this where the Temple Lake Blessed Land is?"

Wei Sanniang asked, unable to hide her excitement.

"good."

Liao Rujia nodded, then glanced at the array in his hand and said, "Judging from the level of energy activity in the blessed land array, the entrance will be opened at noon three days later."

"Ah~ I still have to wait three days~"

Wei Sanniang, who was originally ready to fight, pouted in disappointment.

Upon hearing this, Master Liao poked the other person's forehead in annoyance and said, "Silly girl, you have been rushing for more than half a month. Isn't it just right to use these three days to rest?"

"Every bit of strength you accumulate and every bit of cultivation you recover will give you one more chance to seize the opportunity when you enter the Temple Lake Blessed Land."

"So, you have to keep calm!"

At this point, Liao Rujia pointed at Zhang Bingyao and said, "You need to learn more from your senior brother on this point."

Zhang Bingyao, who was praised, puffed out his chest with pride, and did not forget to show his goodwill to Wei Sanniang: "Haha, I am used to being dull."

"No match for Junior Sister Wei, who is lively, cute, and full of spirit."

"Humph~"

Wei Sanniang had a look of disdain on her face.

He then pointed at Ding Chen who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed not far away and said, "Even if I want to learn, I should learn from the stronger Senior Brother Ding~"

"Look, Senior Brother Ding is more patient!"

Zhang Bingyao was rejected for his kindness, and he felt embarrassed and angry.

Liao Rujia glared at her angrily: "You are yelling nonsense again. Ding Chen's Xuan cultivation level is lower than yours, how can he be your senior brother?"

"Call me Junior Brother!"

"Oh fine."

Wei Sanniang curled her eyes indifferently, then smiled sweetly and took light steps.

In a blink of an eye, she came behind Ding Chen and said very obediently: "Master... Junior Brother Ding, you must be tired, right? Let me massage your shoulders and legs~"

"You damn girl, you've been traveling all the way, too, so why don't you come and give me a massage?"

Wei Sanniang stuck out her tongue playfully and said, "My dear, you have a high level of cultivation. Isn't this journey a piece of cake for you?"

"You!"

Liao Rujia was suddenly at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"He Huan Sect, have you guys figured it out?"

"Once you're done, hurry out. I, the Four Seasons Sect, will unlock the 'Mysterious Array Spirit' at the corresponding location and wait for the day to open it!"

The deputy headmaster of the Four Seasons Sect shouted loudly.

During the competition among the ten sects, except for the host sect, the Hehuan Sect, the other nine sects all sent out elders at the eighth and ninth levels of the Xuanhai Realm to lead the teams.

At this moment, when it comes to the important competition for the resources of the "blessed land and cave paradise", it seems a bit weak to rely solely on the words of the elders who led the team.

Therefore, the nine major sects tacitly sent out their own deputy masters, who set out directly from the heart of the sect and arrived at the ruined temple before the main force.

As deputy masters of lower-grade sects, these cultivators who are considered "second to none and above ten thousand people" in their respective sects, generally have their Xuan cultivation realm at the second or third level of the Earth Crystal Realm.

They are the people from various sects who are here to maintain order!

In fact, Huang Zhongyan, the deputy leader of the Hehuan Sect, is also here.

Perhaps Gongsun Xue and Liao Rujia had already seen that Huang Zhongyan had a certain hatred towards Ding Chen.

They were worried that if Huang Zhongyan was allowed to lead the team alone, he would kill Ding Chen.

If you are not careful, it will implicate Wei Sanniang, who still has the "curse" in her body!

This is definitely not what Gongsun Xue and Liao Rujia want to see.

Therefore, Liao Rujia volunteered to follow the team as the "deputy leader".

In fact, Liao Rujia followed the team this time, in addition to ensuring that Ding Chen would not be harmed by Huang Zhongyan, he also had an additional mission -

That is: find a way to convince Ding Chen to swear a blood oath of allegiance to the [Hehuan Sect]!

As for such a young and powerful man with great potential, as long as the Hehuan Sect is not crazy, they will definitely find ways to make him one of their own in the true sense.

In fact, Gongsun Xue had interviewed Ding Chen regarding this matter as early as when the "Ten Sects Competition" had just ended.

If Ding Chen wasn't worried about forcing her too much, he would have used the "curse seal" in Wei Sanniang's body to counter-threaten her. If things went wrong, everything would be ruined...

Gongsun Xue was eager to use tough measures, press the other party's head, and make him kneel down and swear!

There is no other way. If hard measures cannot be taken, then we can only adopt a "soft" policy.

So, the supreme master praised Ding Chen highly.

What is the identity of a "true disciple"?

Hundreds of thousands of low-grade spirit stones;

Precious elixirs and talismans, etc.

In short, Gongsun Xue at that time gave Ding Chen a lot of benefits in the name of rewarding his "outstanding military exploits".

She even revealed her intention to accept the other person as her disciple!

It can be said that as long as Ding Chen nods, he can instantly become Gongsun Xue's direct disciple.

Become the one with the greatest hope of winning the position of “Supreme Leader” in the future of the [Hehuan Sect]!

Gongsun Xue originally thought that with so many benefits coming his way, Ding Chen would definitely be filled with gratitude;

Let it be and take the blood oath of allegiance.

However, to her disappointment, the boy did not do so.

He remained calm throughout the whole process, and was not surprised by praise or criticism!

No matter how much you talk, I will not be moved!

Even though Huang Zhongyan made a vicious appearance at the end;

He released the pressure of the Earth Crystal Realm on Ding Chen, threatening him that if he didn't swear a blood oath, he would be treated as an "enemy clan spy"...

Ding Chen was also unambiguous and expressed his position on the spot -

"I don't have to be a true disciple, and I don't have to give up the resource rewards!"

"But you want to force me to give up my freedom? Absolutely impossible!"

"They said I was an 'enemy spy'..."

"Oh, okay, then I am the enemy's spy, come and try to kill me?!"

Ding Chen's "ignorant" and self-willed behavior made Huang Zhongyan so angry that he even wanted to kill him on the spot!

In the end, he was stopped by Gongsun Xue and Liao Rujia.

They had already witnessed Ding Chen's stubbornness in the "Ten Sects Competition".

You know, now the people from the other nine sects not only did not leave, but they are going all the way north to the [Miaohu Blessed Land]!

The victory or defeat of the "Ten Sects Competition" is only the first half of the competition.

The other half needs to be carried out in [Miaohu Fudi].

With the addition of a strong man like Ding Chen, the overall strength of the [Hehuan Sect] will undoubtedly be greatly enhanced!

If you push someone into a corner at this critical moment, and if he "jumps ship" to another sect in anger, then everything will be lost!

Therefore, Gongsun Xue had to pretend to be magnanimous and said that the reward she had given before was still valid.

As for asking Ding Chen to swear allegiance, we can only put it aside for now...

At this time, in the simple camp of Hehuan Sect.

Liao Rujia got straight to the point and said, "Ding Chen, you are a smart person, so I won't beat around the bush."

"In a word: as long as you can swear allegiance, I, as Xiaohua's elder, will make the decision and allow you two to become Taoist companions!"
