Chapter 432: Truly Remarkable
Chapter 432: Chapter 432: Truly Remarkable
Stepping out of the valley, Cen Yunuo scanned around and immediately recognized it.
“Indeed, it’s Kongsang Mountain…”
She glanced back.
Her expression was strange.
Kongsang Mountain was a familiar sight, yet in the original world, it was at the foothills of a plain.
But now, it was a valley, nestled within a mountain range.
This familiarity mixed with unfamiliarity felt quite odd.
“Liaodong Celestial Gang is on the hill ahead, you can see their buildings from here,” Cen Yunuo pointed and said.
Everyone squinted to look.
Indeed.
At the hill ahead, they could see faint outlines of buildings at the summit.
And the area was quite large.
“Quite an impressive scale,” Lu Ran pondered.
“Yes, Liaodong Celestial Gang has always been powerful, with many disciples. Even in the previous world, it was one of the few Taoist sects that remained most intact. Just unsure how things are now,” Cen Yunuo nodded and said.
Buddhism built the Arhat Temple here specifically to counter Liaodong Celestial Gang.
Besides, with the backing and influence of Sumeru Mountain, even Liaodong Celestial Gang might not withstand it, huh?
While speaking, Lu Ran casually conjured several Abyss Bone Dragons.
Everyone proceeded towards Liaodong Celestial Gang.
On the way.
Cen Yunuo briefed:
“As I mentioned earlier, Liaodong Celestial Gang is different from other Taoist sects.”
“Most Taoist sects train to reverse the innate impermeable body.”
“But Liaodong Celestial Gang, on the contrary, emphasizes physical cultivation.”
“Their Celestial Gang Glaze Body is robust, even when confronting the Vajra Indestructible Body of Arhat Temple, it’s not at all intimidated.”
“Of course, provided the Arhat Temple hasn’t truly reached the Vajra Indestructible Body realm.”
…
During the briefing.
Everyone stopped outside the trail on the hill.
Then they walked towards the Taoist temple ahead.
As they got closer, it was apparent that Liaodong Celestial Gang was indeed of substantial scale.
At the entrance, there were disciples standing guard.
“There’s even security; indicates Liaodong Celestial Gang is living well,” Lu Ran commented critically.
Though, according to Cen Yunuo, these guards belonged to the Taoist sect, yet they were dressed not in Daoist robes but in athletic attire akin to martial arts uniforms.
They appeared more like warriors than Daoists.
As they approached.
The guards immediately stopped their path, which was normal.
“Cen Yunuo of Daluo Palace, seeking to meet your current Taoist Temple Master of Liaodong Celestial Gang,” Cen Yunuo stated.
“Daluo Palace?” The guard was surprised.
But someone still went to report.
The others kept a vigilant watch at the entrance.
It was apparent this group was very cautious.
“You don’t know the Temple Master here?” Lu Ran asked.
“I do, the previous Temple Master was Jin Yuanxiang, don’t know who it is now,” Cen Yunuo replied.
Probably worried because of Wang Yang from the Fire Virtue Sect going missing.
After all, Cen Yunuo has lived two lifetimes.
Still ignorant of each Taoist sect’s current status.
Not long after.
The guard returned after reporting, and they were permitted to enter.
After entering, they saw the Temple Master, Cen Yunuo was stunned.
“Uncle Jin, it’s really you!” Cen Yunuo was somewhat surprised.
Lu Ran raised his eyes to look.
This so-called Uncle Jin appeared to be a man in his fifties.
Rather, couldn’t be called an old man; Uncle Jin’s strong figure resembled a human tank.
Even rivaling Lei Tai’s physique.
Hard to believe this was a Daoist?
Could this really qualify as a Daoist?
Too fierce!
“Yunuo, long time no see, didn’t expect you still alive, now…” Jin Yuanxiang greeted with a hearty smile.
“Now I’ve become a Professional; the Taoist sect’s plan at that time was correct,” Cen Yunuo truthfully replied.
According to Cen Yunuo’s introduction.
This person was Jin Yuanxiang.
The former Temple Master of Liaodong Celestial Gang.
After so many years, he still leads Liaodong Celestial Gang.
Moreover.
Back then, Liaodong Celestial Gang and Daluo Palace had a good relationship, Jin Yuanxiang and Cen Yunuo’s master were friends.
“Yes, didn’t expect you to actually transform successfully, now that Buddhism knows about you, be careful,” Jin Yuanxiang contemplated and said.
Hmm?
“How do you know Buddhism knows about me?” Cen Yunuo asked.
“Hmph, that Arhat Temple has come more than once, a bunch of baldies, I know their little schemes perfectly well. But no matter, stay inside my temple, I want to see if those monks can so much as touch you!” Jin Yuanxiang angrily retorted.
While speaking.
A bluish vigor rose slowly from his body, resembling heat waves resulting from high temperatures, distorting the surrounding space.
Lu Ran watched in amazement.
That was probably the Celestial Gang Qi produced by the Celestial Gang Glaze Body Yunuo mentioned.
“By the way, are these all your friends? Can you introduce them?” Jin Yuanxiang looked at Lu Ran and the others and asked.
“Oh, they are all my friends, all Professionals,” Cen Yunuo said.
But didn’t introduce in detail.
Anyway, to Jin Yuanxiang, Professionals were unfamiliar, no need for detailed introductions.
After speaking.
Cen Yunuo looked at Lu Ran.
Hesitated for a few seconds, still didn’t mention Lu Ran’s current relationship with the Fire Virtue Sect, because it’s quite lengthy.
Cen Yunuo wasn’t in the mood for nostalgia.
So she went straight to the point: “The Arhat Temple, how is it now?”
Jin Yuanxiang waved his hand.
And replied: “A bunch of baldies, what good can they do? But you, I heard Buddhism has sent people to target you, are you alright? Must be cautious.”
“I’ve already encountered them, but I’m fine,” Cen Yunuo shook her head and said.
“Oh? Though I disdain those baldies, their abilities aren’t insignificant. You managed to remain unscathed under their targeting? Is your Professional status and ability truly that remarkable?” Jin Yuanxiang asked in astonishment.
“It’s a long story, let’s talk about Arhat Temple. This time I brought friends specifically for Arhat Temple, now in this Kongsang Mountain, Liaodong Celestial Gang and Arhat Temple both reside here, resolving Arhat Temple would also settle Liaodong Celestial Gang; seeing such a scale within the Taoist sect is a fortunate thing,” Cen Yunuo said.
“Is that so, alright, I was about to settle scores with Arhat Temple too, take some rest, have a meal, I’ll gather some people, we shall go together,” Jin Yuanxiang decided.
Cen Yunuo didn’t refuse.
Because Lu Ran mentioned.
If by task settlement rewards, and there are other Taoist sects nearby, it’s possible to obtain their Tao lineage.
Only.
Lu Ran was slightly puzzled now.
With Jin Yuanxiang here, and about to go together, but Liaodong Celestial Gang’s Tao lineage seems not lost.
If so, how does it count?
During reward settlement, will the Tao lineage be granted?
Lu Ran didn’t know, but worth a try.
“Let’s take a break then,” Cen Yunuo said to Lu Ran.
“Alright, no rush,” Lu Ran said.
