‘No wonder the court gives Ziyun Dao such respect, it’s not that the emperors and nobs on the court admire Daoism, it’s that they have no choice.’

At this moment, Lu Yuan deeply realized the difficult position of the court.

If they didn’t serve Ziyun Dao well, the emperor would not be able to sit securely on his throne and sleep peacefully at night.

The emperor had to constantly worry that one day, Ziyun Dao master would come to the palace, take away his life in a sleep.

With such a great immortal in the country, it’s not easy for the emperor to rule.

As Lu Yuan sighed inwardly, they arrived at the home of village chief Wei De.

Entering the house, he looked around and saw a small altar placed at the dining table, with a god statue hanging on it and an incense burner placed in front of it, which had already been lit.

Looking at the god statue, it depicted an old man in white with a green robe, holding a wooden staff, and followed by a purple cloud.

“This is Mysterious Sound Widespread Immortal, legend has it that he was a Dao master of Ziyun Dao who ascended a thousand years ago,” said Qi Yun, who walked over and recognized the painting, laughing.

“Ascended a thousand years ago?”

Lu Yuan noticed this word, took a deep look at the painting, and then looked

away.

Could it be that a thousand years ago, cultivators under the sky could still ascend to immortality?

But didn’t the decline of the immortal spirit’s energy also begin a thousand years ago?

Or was it possible for one to become immortal in the world during the time of the decline of spiritual energy?

Lu Yuan’s heart was filled with many doubts, and today’s information was too overwhelming, but mostly scattered, unable to make sense of it.

So after thinking for a while, he decided not to worry about it.

No matter what the truth is, he will find the answer slowly in the future.

And in half a month, the Inescapable Meeting will begin.

At that time, Ziyun Dao master will personally preach and explain, and the cultivators will be right in front of him. Any doubts can wait until then and be explored slowly.

Wei De’s family was very hospitable to the guests who came to attend the Inescapable Meeting. They even specially killed some chickens and brought out some bacon from their home to entertain their guests.

Lu Yuan and his companions enjoyed a dinner and then went to their prepared guest rooms to rest.

The next day at dawn, as they left a couple of silver tales behind despite Wei De’s protest, they continued their journey to Ziyun Dao on horseback. After walking more than thirty miles along the official road, a small town at the foot of a mountain came into view.

As they rode into the town, they saw it was already crowded with Daoists from all over Tiannan and Haimoon.

At the entrance of the town, there were even several green-robed Daoists waiting with tables.

Upon seeing Lu Yuan and his companions, they immediately came to greet them.

The one in the lead bowed and said with a smile, “Fellow Daoists, are you invited to attend the meeting? Poor Daoist Mu Hongying serves as the receptionist, who is here to welcome attendees.”

At this time, Qi Yun stepped forward, bowed back, and took out a jade seal from his arms and handed it over, “Poor Daoist Daoist from Qingyun View in

Hengyang Prefecture of Dongting Province, invited to attend, please, fellow

Daoist, verify.”

Mu Hongying took the jade seal certified by the official residence and the seal symbolizing the identity of Ziyun View’s vein master, carefully checked and confirmed it, and then laughed, “It turns out to be a Daoist from Qingyun View. Your vein has been invited twice before, and the town has already prepared the corresponding accommodation for you. You can stay with this nameplate.”

As he spoke, Mu Hongying took two bamboo plates from the side and handed them to Qi Yun. After Qi Yun took them, his gaze turned to Lu Yuan and the others, “Who are you, fellow Daoists?”

“I am Lu Yuan, I am with Fellow Daoist Qi Yun,” Lu Yuan stepped directly to Qi Yun’s side, took a bamboo plate from him, and stated his identity.

Mu Hongying nodded slightly, then looked at Shangguan brother and sister.

The Inescapable Meeting of Ziyun Dao, although it invites Daoists from all over the world, is not open to everyone.

Only those who have Dao can even enter the threshold.

Qingyun View only had two spots, but there were three people in front of them. The remaining two, without other invitations, would not be able to enter the town.

Shangguan siblings, being very smart, naturally saw the intention of the Ziyun Dao receptionist. Shangguan Guangbai stepped forward and took out a jade pendant from his bosom, handing it over, “I am Shangguan Guangbai, and this is my sister, Shangguan Haimoon. We are from the Shangguan family on the Golden Altar.”

Hearing Golden Altar Shangguan family, Mu Hongying’s expression changed slightly. After checking the jade pendant meticulously and confirming that it belonged to the head of Shangguan family descendants, he became more focused and respectful, saying, “It turns out to be the young master and young lady of the Shangguan family. Here are your nameplates.”

Mu Hongying personally took the bamboo plates and handed them to Shangguan brother and sister, his attitude towards them was much better than his attitude towards Qi Yun.

It was not surprising for him to do so.

The Shangguan family was one of the six surnames and seven families of Yue

Country, and this year, an Inborn Grandmaster had emerged from their ranks, who had been appointed as the General to Conquer the West and the Protector of Dongting Province, leading a hundred thousand troops to suppress the Miao rebellion.

Such a background of power and influence was, of course, incomparable to that of a small view like Qingyun View from a mountainous area.

The four people took their nameplates, registered their names, and went into the town together.

Entering the town, they saw countless Daoists besides the locals.

Qi Yun looked at the slightly startled Daoists and explained with a smile. He then looked at the nameplate and said, “If you want to stroll around the town or discuss with other Daoists, you can come back later.”

There is still half a month before the meeting begins, and during this time, we will all be staying in the town, so there will be plenty of time to interact with fellow Daoists.

Now let’s go to the arranged accommodation first and put down our luggage.”

At this point, it was not the time to wander around for the few people who were holding packages and leading horses, so they all nodded in agreement. Then they took their nameplates and followed Qi Yun to find their accommodations..
