Chapter 491: Chapter 187: Matters of Clan Consolidation, Chen Chang’an’s Idea_2

However, the Taiyi Sect, the subordinate sect of the Taiyi Immortal Sect, was different.

Although the Taiyi Sect was now in decline, it was nonetheless a hegemonic Dao Path in the Heavenly Origin Great World by virtue of its prestige and heritage, receiving protection from the will of Heaven and Earth.

The territory that a Dao Path of this status could acquire was naturally very good.

"Junior Brother, we’re here."

Not long after, the group finally arrived at the main hall.

The hall was already filled with a certain number of people at this time.

Chen Chang’an scanned the room, all of whom had relatively older faces.

A few of them even had all-white hair.

However, the one thing common to these people was that they exuded a deep aura, at least reaching the level of a Dao Lord of the Six Realms.

Among them was a terrifying old man whose aura was even approaching the Eighth Realm!

There was an Eighth Realm powerhouse in the Taiyi Sect?

Seeing this old man, Chen Chang’an couldn’t help but show some surprise.

He was truly surprised, as in any era of the Wuxiang Realm, the number of people who could become Dao Masters was always very few.

"Chen Chang’an of the Tianshui Sect bows to the esteemed Elders."

The next moment, Chen Chang’an bowed to the several people.

"Chang’an, there’s no need for such formality."

Facing Chen Chang’an’s bow, none of the several Elders dared to accept it, except for the most ancient ones.

However, even for those few, they did not dare to take it lightly and quickly got up to support Chen Chang’an.

Theoretically, they were both founders of the Taiyi Sect and Tianshui Sect, but in front of Chen Chang’an, they did not dare to be complacent.

Indeed, in terms of age, they were older than Chen Chang’an.

However, don’t forget, he’s also a Supreme Saint of Heaven and Earth!

A bow from a Saint could overturn Heaven and Earth!

Chen Chang’an being a Supreme Saint, his bow was no different.

If he bowed, without the cultivation of at least a Semi-Saint, absolutely no one could withstand it!

Then, Chen Chang’an engaged the several Elders in conversation.

The content of the conversation was simple, nothing more than exchanging information between the two Sects, discussing the merger of the two Sects, and the relocation of the Elders’ plaques.

The Elders of the Taiyi Sect were all very talkative, and kept the conversation with Chen Chang’an going for over an hour before stopping, during which Chen Chang’an could only interject occasionally.

During the conversation, Chen Chang’an also learned the names of these Elders.

The eldest among them was known as Elder Tianjun, whose origins were the most ancient, having survived the catastrophe of the Taiyi Immortal Sect.

It was he who established the current Taiyi Sect using a portion of the heritage he acquired from the ruins of the Taiyi Immortal Sect.

What surprised Chen Chang’an even more was that Elder Tianjun and Dao Master Jundao were contemporaries in the Taiyi Immortal Sect, and Dao Master Jundao was Elder Tianjun’s senior.

They were both outstanding disciples of the Taiyi Immortal Sect’s generation.

This was quite a surprise to Chen Chang’an.

However, thinking of Elder Tianjun’s cultivation, there was nothing surprising about it anymore.

In the course of the conversation, Elder Tianjun, acting as the main person in charge of the Taiyi Sect, discussed with Chen Chang’an about handling the relationship between the two sects in the future.

As a proper conservative, Elder Tianjun naturally insisted on merging the two sects together to develop in the Heavenly Origin World, in simple terms, to relocate the Tianshui Sect to establish a home in the Heavenly Origin World.

However, Chen Chang’an held a different opinion regarding Elder Tianjun’s idea.

Admittedly, looking at the current situation, moving the Tianshui Sect to the Heavenly Origin World would be a good idea.

But, as good as this method seems, it has significant problems.

The current Tianshui Sect is not small, and if all were to move to the Tianyuan World, there might not be enough room. The two Sects have been separated for so long that abruptly merging them together could cause various inconveniences.

Overall, there are many drawbacks, which are not conducive to the development of the Sects.

Thus, Chen Chang’an’s suggestion on this matter is to merge the two Sects in theory, but maintain the status quo in reality, allowing the two Sects to continue operating as they have been.

At the level of the disciples, the two Sects could follow the model of a main peak and its subsidiary peaks. That is, new disciples recruited in the Tianshui Sect could choose to cultivate in the Taiyi Sect and vice versa.

Similar options should be given to older disciples and elders of the Sect. Disciples and elders of both Sects should be able to freely move between the two without any distinction.

"This is a good idea, let’s put it into action." Upon hearing Chen Chang’an’s suggestion, Tianjun, the Dao Lord, had a spark in his eyes and immediately approved this policy.

"Apprentice Chang’an, how is your elder brother, Jun?" Afterwards, once the topic of merging the Sect was done with, the Old Dao Lord asked Chen Chang’an, his eyes filled with concern.

"Ah, to not conceal anything from you, the current situation of Dao Master Jun is not very promising," said Chen Chang’an, shaking his head.

Dao Master Jun, unlike Dao Lord Tianjun, possesses only the body of a Dao Master, incapable of everlasting life.

Given his situation, it’s already miraculous that he’s conscious. Without some great fortune on his side, there’s no hope for his current physical condition.

"Ah, my brother, my brother."

Hearing this, the Dao Lord Tianjun couldn’t help but sigh deeply.

He was already prepared for the condition of Dao Master Jun but hadn’t expected things to progress so quickly.

After a sigh, he looked at Chen Chang’an and finally said:

"Alright, Chang’an, I’ve a good understanding of the situation now. Let Xiangtian guide you to a place to rest."

"Junior brother, follow me," came the voice of Li Xiangtian from the side.

"Alright then, Old Dao Lord. We’ll be on our way." Chen Chang’an nodded, and then followed Li Xiangtian out of the Hall.

After a little while, Li Xiangtian led Chen Chang’an to the top of a mountain. What surprised Chen Chang’an was that there was a pavilion atop the mountain that looked exactly the same as the one on Daozang Mountain.

Seeing Chen Chang’an’s confusion, Li Xiangtian rubbed the back of his head embarrassedly and said:

"Ah, Junior Apprentice Brother, we built you this room according to the pavilion on your peak. I don’t know whether you like it or not."

"Please don’t get the wrong idea. We got the design for this building from that girl Qing Xuan. We certainly didn’t sneak to your mountain to spy on you."

"There was no need for that indeed. I must say, brother, you’ve been too kind," replied Chen Chang’an, shaking his head.

Li Xiangtian and the others building a pavilion that resembled his took him by surprise. He was quite pleased, so why would he have any misunderstandings?

"Haha, it’s good that you liked it." Seeing that Chen Chang’an was not displeased, Li Xiangtian’s hanging heart finally settled.

After all, this junior apprentice brother is not an ordinary person. His perception of the secondary Sect would directly influence the future merger process. He must serve him well on this trip. Otherwise, he, Li, would not be able to take the blame!

Li Xiangtian had no way of knowing that Chen Chang’an had never been very interested in merging the Sects or not.

For him, whether the Sects merged or not was unimportant. As long as no one came to bother him, he was fine.

That night, Chen Chang’an stayed in the pavilion.

It must be said that Li Xiangtian and the others were indeed meticulous. Chen Chang’an looked around the room and found that the pavilion was built not only to resemble the one on Daozang Mountain on the outside, but also on the inside.

They had indeed put a lot of thought into it.

The night passed without incident.

The next day, Chen Chang’an got up early and arrived at the grand hall of the Taiyi Sect when the sky was still slightly light.

Having come to the Taiyi Sect for the second day, what he intended to do today was initially planned: to visit the Heavenly Emperor Pavilion.

Chen Chang’an was rather interested in seeing the Heavenly Emperor Pavilion. That’s why he got up so early.

However, when Chen Chang’an arrived at the grand hall, he found something awkward. He was not the first one to arrive,

as the grand hall was already filled with people, including Lin Qingxuan and others.

Sitting at the highest seat was none other than Tianjun and the other elders.
