Chapter 1473: Chapter 693: The 93rd Line Changes

The peaches are lush, their blossoms so bright. The maiden goes to her new home, fitting for her household.

As for someone as weak as Taozhi, not to mention Tie Dan, even Cangtian treats her like a straw dog, paying no attention to her life or death.

However, hearing her claim to be a disciple of Master Ci Yun of the Carefree Wind Tower, and her junior sister being the daughter of the Pei Family, who’ve practiced dual cultivation since childhood with bonds like family, it’s a pity they were separated after their sect was breached by the Xuān family (Mystic Sect), and eventually she was scattered into the Five Elements Sect. Tie Dan gradually remembered, recalling the dreams of Huangfu Yi from the past.

So he was using the body belonging to that Miss Pei. Wasn’t it called Pei Yuhuan? He recalls in his dreams, this girl’s mother was from the Shen Family, and indeed had some connection with the Sword Sect. As the saying goes, ten years of cultivation to cross the same boat, since being able to team up with Huangfu Yi, there must be some predestined fate between them, which explains why she could attract Tie Dan’s attention to become his vessel upon descending.

However, fate had no part in it; back then, their earthly relationship was shallow, quickly leading to a separation in death. Now Huangfu Yi is imprisoned in the array, his life uncertain. Miss Pei has long turned into white bones, having been cold for many years.

Tie Dan sipped the sobering tea brought to him,

"Oh, so you want to avenge and take back this body?"

Taozhi sighed, offering many sweet and savory preserved fruits,

"I’m just a Mixed Cultivator, not possessing enough skill, nor having death-reviving divine skills. Knowing I’m no match for Emei, I dare not delay your journey, but can only offer some light tea to reminisce."

Tie Dan was not surprised, as he too had passed the age of killing at sight; naturally knowing most Mixed Cultivators are self-aware, feeling the presence of experts from the Three Great Sects. Being sensed by the Primordial Spirit of the Mystic Sect, they are likely to shiver like seeing the prey of Brother Billa, wishing to dig a hole and hide. They wouldn’t dare show themselves and seek their doom.

Only because the other had a connection with this Dao Body, when looking back recognized an old acquaintance, dared to reveal herself for conversation. Had Tie Dan not instinctively stopped it, she might have been slapped to death by Xun Lingrui just now.

Yet, since matters have reached this, Tie Dan took the opportunity to engage in conversation,

"Then are you considered the Master of Tianshui County now?"

Taozhi, finally seeing her old friend, felt deep emotions just being able to sit beside her and see her. When the other took the initiative to converse, she had nothing to hide, and calmly explained,

"How dare I overstep, Tianshui County has five gate cities, everything is decided by the Divine Alliance conferences; I merely represent my sect stationed at this branch city. Barely considered a protector with the right to raise a hand for a vote."

"Oh? What is this Divine Alliance?"

Tie Dan subconsciously tossed a sweet date into his mouth.

Taozhi skillfully handed over grape cake,

"The Divine Alliance is a world cultivators’ alliance led by the Divine Sect. As long as you’re willing to swear blood oath, acknowledge the Divine Sect as the alliance leader, follow the leader’s commands, and annually tribute resources to the alliance, participating in alliance armies during wars, the Divine Sect recognizes each one’s Daoist fields and territories, not meddling in a sect’s internal matters.

Now from the Western Territory to the Central Plains, from Kunlun to the Returning Ruins, from the East Sea to the Southern Ocean, all cultivators have joined the ranks of the Divine Sect. Ten Thousand Immortals bow, all cultivators worship, the truth spoken is real."

Tie Dan chewed the grape cake curiously,

"But, Kunlun folks being under the eaves having to bow makes sense. But why are those from the corners of the East Sea and Southern Ocean rushing to pay tributes and taxes to the Divine Sect? How can they be managed?"

Taozhi added a cup of milk honey,

"The Divine Sect rewards and punishes clearly, the sect hierarch has gained the Great Dao of reaching heavens. Having defeated the Mystic Sect, dominating the cultivation world, opposing the Divine Sect is like going against heaven, seeking their own doom.

Besides, during early years Divine Sect operated in the Central Plains, originally hiring Loose Cultivators, absorbing them as external members, gradually integrating into the mature system of the Divine Sect. Join the Divine Alliance, serve the alliance, and you can receive rewards from the Divine Sect. In the future, you may have a chance to cultivate Blood God’s son’s great method, achieve longevity, immortality, who wouldn’t want to walk this righteous path?

Furthermore, the offerings demanded by the Divine Alliance aren’t much, and the sect hierarch is wealthy sea-wide, the wealth, companionship, and territory, only collects the top-grade Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, letting you keep and trade the lower grades as you wish. Whether through offerings or trades, you can accumulate contributions, calculate merits, and receive additional rewards from the Divine Sect."

Those top-end Immortal materials, routine Loose Cultivators couldn’t protect or use them, better to hand them over to the Divine Alliance, list some merits, and exchange for suitable provisions. Truly, when the Mystic Sect was in power, even we Loose Cultivators were resources for them to freely extract!"

There’s truth in her words, the Mystic Sect indeed behaved insatiably...

Tie Dan licked clean the milk honey, wiped his mouth,

"But if the Divine Alliance is so beneficial to outsiders, can the Cult Members accept it themselves?"

Taozhi nodded, slicing another snow pear to soothe his throat,

"There are indeed divisions within the Divine Sect, with the organization large and time passing, there are bound to be internal and external distinctions, eventually having faction differences.

Moreover, back then their Four Great Dharma Kings and Four Great Venerables, were originally local powerhouses joining under their own goals; the Divine Sect was first created to combat the Immortal Palace, some campaign the Western Regions, strategize the Central Plains, explore the Returning Ruins, invade Kunlun. Each time a sect hierarch changes, the guiding principles alter greatly.

Back then it was to deal with the Mystic Sect’s counter-attack that the sect hierarch established the Divine Alliance, arranged the Great Array of Ten Thousand Immortals, consuming the opponent’s strength. So in the end, Loose Cultivators have bled and earned merit for the Divine Sect. Even though the world has settled, it’s not yet time to immediately discard them once the rabbit dies.
