Chapter 540: Chapter 210: A Grand Conference of Uniting Sects, All Sects Gather!_2

This also signifies that above that location in the Tianshui region, the rights Mao Ruxue executes represent her own. From now on, there’s no need to report everything to him as she did today, she now has the power to make decisions herself.

Furthermore, these decision-making powers are the representation of Emperor Song’s Palace!

"Thank you, Sir!"

Hearing Chen Chang’an’s words, Mao Ruxue was initially stunned, followed by joy and surprise.

Chen Chang’an’s words undeniably meant her proposal was approved. Not only that, but she could now openly work for the benefit of her sect!

Using Emperor Song’s powers to contribute to strengthening the Tianshui Sect, it was simply thrilling!

At that moment, Mao Ruxue felt as if she was about to ascend to heaven.

This Emperor Song... seemed rather foolish!

"Alright, you can step back now and let Black and White Impermanence come see me."

"Yes, Sir." Mao Ruxue obeyed and left.

In the blink of an eye, time flowed by and more than ten days passed, with Chen Chang’an as usual savoring his tea up in the mountains.

Hum, hum, hum~!

Suddenly, a buzzing sound echoed from the sky with the figure of the Immortal Ancestor rushing over in an instant.

"Haha, it’s done! Chang’an, we did it!"

Even before his figure arrived, his joyful voice had already echoed throughout the Daozang mountain peak.

Seeing the Immortal Ancestor approaching, Chen Chang’an hurriedly got up to welcome him.

"May I ask what caused the Ancestor to be so delighted?"

The Immortal Ancestor chuckled and said:

"Haha, Chang’an, let me tell you the good news. The Ziyang Immortal Scripture repair was successful!"

"Also, Chang’an, after discussing with Heavenly Monarch, we decided that since the Immortal Scripture has been repaired, we should pick an auspicious date to merge the sects."

"You are a great scholar of the Confucian Path and must be proficient in its traditions. So, quickly, determine for us when would be the most appropriate time for the merger."

The Immortal Ancestor had two matter to discuss, one being the successful repair of the Ziyang Immortal Scripture and the other, the proposed merger of the Tianshui Sect and the Taiyi Sect. He hoped for Chen Chang’an to choose an appropriate time for this.

Hearing the Immortal Ancestor’s words, Chen Chang’an started calculating.

His fingers moved, and Dao Rules began to appear around his body.

Cultivators of the Confucian Path inherently possess the ability to calculate, granted they’ve reached the realm of cultivation known as Confucian Master.

Of course, the Immortal Ancestor could ask someone else to do this, but it wouldn’t have the same ceremonial sense.

After all, having the Supreme Saint himself perform these calculations would indeed be a historic moment for the Tianshui Sect’s merger ceremony.

In no time, Chen Chang’an had the calculations ready. After stopping, he turned to the Immortal Ancestor and said:

"Ancestor, how about this? There’s an auspicious day at the beginning of next month, which is the fourth day, suitable for establishing a sect and offering sacrifices to ancestors. There’s also sign of a Dragon’s chant in the Heavenly Dao. We could set the date for the merger on the fourth day of next month. What do you think?"

"Excellent! I have no objections to your suggestion," the Immortal Ancestor immediately confirmed the fourth day of next month for the merger.

"However, Chang’an, this situation differs a bit from the past, and I hope you’ll listen to something I have to say." Before he finished, the Immortal continued, seeming to have more to say.

"After discussing with Heavenly Monarch, we both feel Chang’an, you should establish a new school"

"In the past, both the Tianshui Sect and the Taiyi Sect only had one school with 108 peaks."

"Since you’re not interested in going out to establish a sect, why not consider creating a new one within the Sect?"

"We’ve thought this through. This new school should inherit the styles of Dragonspeak Peak, except it will be separated from the 108 peaks as a new central peak, just like Tianshui Peak. What do you think?"

Start a new school?

Hearing the Immortal Ancestor’s words, Chen Chang’an hesitated.

If he wanted to greatly propagate his Dao in the future, the Immortal Ancestor’s suggestion would indeed be beneficial.

However, Chen Chang’an disliked trouble. If he established a separate peak, many troublesome matters would inevitably come up, and that was not something he wanted to deal with.

But then, since it’s still within the sect, perhaps it wouldn’t be an issue.

"Alright, Ancestor, since you all say so, I will open a new peak."

In the end, Chen Chang’an agreed to establish his own peak.

It was a path he was destined to walk down in the future, and leaving a Confucian Path lineage for the Tianshui Sect was not a bad thing.

"Good! Very good!"

"Chang’an, you’ve finally thought it through!"

Having heard Chen Chang’an’s words, the old patriarch of Dao, Jun Dao, couldn’t help but cry happily.

Although both were within the Tianshui Sect, Chen Chang’an establishing his own mountain and guarding Daozang Mountain were worlds apart.

If Chen Chang’an didn’t establish his own mountain, he would only be considered a Peak Master of the Tianshui Sect. His authority would only extend as far as any other peak master.

But if Chen Chang’an were to establish his own mountain, it would be a different story altogether.

After establishing his own mountain, Chen Chang’an would have authority in the Tianshui Sect equal to that of Li Daoran, neither more nor less.

In such a timely moment, he would even have the power to command all the disciples of the sect!

Of course, that’s secondary. The most important thing is that once Chen Chang’an establishes his own mountain, Daozang Mountain would have the ability to continue its lineage. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

It could directly recruit disciples from outside or pull disciples from other peaks to become its disciples.

From then on, the Tianshui Sect will definitely have the lineage of Confucian Path!

This is a monumental event!

"Chang’an, be at ease. If you want any disciples from the sect to join you when you establish your own mountain, feel free to choose. Everything will be centered around you!"

"You wait here, I’m going to notify Li Daoran and others to prepare!"

The old patriarch of Dao, Jun Dao, ran off joyfully, presumably to spread the news.

"Senior Brother, are you really planning to establish your own mountain? Why?"

Mao Ruxue walked in, looking at Chen Chang’an with great confusion.

No one knew her Senior Brother better than her. Mao Ruxue knew how laid-back he was. If anything, he despised being in charge of things.

The previous suggestion to establish his own mountain and accept disciples had been as unwelcome as a death sentence. But now he had willingly agreed. Was this really the Senior Brother she knew?

Facing Mao Ruxue’s questions, Chen Chang’an nodded.

"Hmm, Junior Sister, I plan to establish my own mountain."

In fact, whether Chen Chang’an established his own mountain or not didn’t make much difference anymore.

Once he established his mountain, the Tianshui Sect would become a significant sacred site for Confucianism. Even without him, the Tianshui Sect would still become another sacred site for Confucianism.

Since the result is the same in either case, why not fulfill the old man’s wish?

However, when he thought about this, Chen Chang’an couldn’t help but sigh.

In the beginning, all he wanted was to keep the continuity of the old man’s mountains, who would have thought, in just under a few years, the situation had developed to this extent.

Change, it seemed, was always one step ahead of plans.

On the fourth day of the first month of the Yang calendar, the day quickly approached, and it was also the date Chen Chang’an had previously foreseen for Jun Dao.

On this day, the plaza of the Tianshui Sect was jam-packed with disciples from both the Tianshui Sect and the Taiyi Sect.

Yes, all the disciples of the Taiyi Sect came to this joint sect gathering. They wore unified robes imbued with immortal energy, representing the Taiyi Immortal Sect. They looked exceptionally ethereal.

For this gathering, even Mao Ruxue, who was rarely seen, didn’t disappear. She had been busy in the Tianshui Sect for half a month before the gathering. If it weren’t for Nine-One and the nine other armored defenders backing her in the Earth Bodhisattva Hall, chaos might already have ensued in the Underworld Sea.

As the main personage of this joint sect assembly, Chen Chang’an arrived early at the center of the high platform, sitting upright, observing the crowd below.

All was ready as time wore on. Chen Chang’an was about to give a speech.

But just then, somewhat unexpectedly, several figures appeared on the horizon.

It was the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect and others who had come to participate!
