Chapter 664: Making up for One’s Crime

There are a large number of immortals in the six major immortal sects. Immortal Mei originally thought that the emperor and empress would have some left over. Now it seems that she was a little wishful thinking. She is right. The six major immortal sects have a deep foundation, and a group of elite immortals will definitely meet their own needs. The emperor and empress have the formation to refine puppets, and what they lack is materials.

Regardless of whether they are innocent or not, there is no way to prove their innocence. To the emperor and empress, it would be safer to turn these immortals into Taoist puppets. If they are puppet Taoist soldiers, they have no mind and just obey orders like puppets. However, growing Taoist soldiers have mind, but are completely controlled and can even practice and advance on their own.

The two are completely different, one is ready for combat, the other has potential. With both in hand, the Empress's Taoist army will be formed. To be honest, Mei Xianren is still a little envious. These Taoist soldiers of the Empress are very reassuring, and their numbers are increasing. They are much less troublesome than the Luofu Sect.

"Why are you so disappointed?" The Empress said with a smile, "If I remember correctly, right after the grand court meeting, Luofu Sect and Luotian Immortal Sect all opened their doors to recruit disciples from the six major sects, right? Luofu Sect recruited quite a few people, and even every mountain had disciples from the six major sects joining."

"Yes," Mei Xianren nodded in confirmation, "Originally, we wanted to open up a separate lineage, but we only absorbed disciples from the two major immortal sects. They wanted to better integrate into the sect, so it was not appropriate to open up a peak vein. In the end, each peak vein accepted some disciples, but they were just disciples. There was no Golden Immortal or Taiyi."

"Senior sister is too greedy. Jinxian and Taiyi are both rare elites who can fight immediately. How can we let them go?" The Empress shook her head. "Besides, no one can prove whether they were involved. Everyone is a suspect. It is impossible to let them go."

"I'm here to beg you, aren't I?" Mei Xianren looked at her innocently. "Can you bear to watch Luofu Sect sink like this? I finally have a chance to repay Luofu Sect. As the peak master, you can't refuse it, right? It will make the disciples feel disappointed and disappoint the familiar brothers and sisters."

"Don't say such things," the Empress frowned. "If I really said that, it would be unfair to other immortal sects. Moreover, I favor Luofu Sect. Do you think it is a good thing for Luofu Palace? Even Luotian Immortal Sect has to restrain its edge and even discredit itself. How can Luofu Sect be any better?"

What she said was all true. Luotian Immortal Sect would sometimes discredit itself, and their methods were very obscure and difficult for people to detect, but it was not that difficult for the emperor and empress. Luotian Immortal Sect did so out of necessity. Being too popular was not a good thing, especially since Luotian Immortal Sect was the emperor's earlier sect.

"Okay!" Mei Xianren said helplessly, "Whatever you say makes sense. Since you are impartial, I won't say much. If the people from the six major sects can't get it, what about the supplies from other forces? How can Luofu Sect be qualified to enter the Eight Desolate Heavens? We have the oldest heritage of traveling merchants."

The so-called oldest itinerant merchant heritage is actually You Wanli. The Emperor assigned You Wanli to Luofu Sect a long time ago, probably not long after You Wanli appeared. At that time, Mei Xianren had not yet entered the reincarnation, so he knew it very clearly.

"Is this your purpose, Senior Sister?" The Empress said unhappily, "It's not impossible to enter the Eight Desolate Heaven, but you can't enter from the Eight Desolate Universe. I remember that Luofu Sect has its own White Jade Building in the Eight Desolate Heaven. You can apply for it yourself, and then enter from outside the Eight Desolate Universe. This is my compensation to Luofu Sect."

"Thank you very much, Your Majesty." Mei Xianren showed a satisfied smile.

This was an unexpected surprise. In fact, she didn't hold out much hope. Mei Xianren didn't have that much desire for people from the six major immortal sects. The true immortals and celestial immortals from the six major immortal sects only supplemented the number of people in Luofu Sect. Whether they could integrate into the sect would depend on their future performance.

Mei Xianren did not dare to ask for the Golden Immortal and Taiyi, because these two levels of immortals have walked their own paths, and Luofu Sect would never recognize them. Didn't you see that Luotian Xianmen puts most of its experience on the True Immortals? It is because they have not walked their own paths, and have not experienced the Five Decays of Heaven and Man, that it is easy for them to teach and wash away the traces of the six major immortal sects.

"When she needs something from me, she is a good junior sister. When she gets the benefits, she becomes the empress. Senior sister, you really use people in a positive way and never look down on them." The emperor and empress said quietly.

"No, you will always be my good junior sister." Meixianren's eyes rolled, "My good junior sister, my Meixian Palace is still short of guards, can you give me one of your puppet armies? I only need a Taoist puppet led by a Taiyi Taoist soldier, which is also very convenient to use."

"You are really great." The emperor and empress did not know whether to laugh or cry, but after thinking for a while, they still threw out a token.

"Thank you, Junior Sister." Mei Xianren was overjoyed. She didn't expect to have such an unexpected gain. She immediately grabbed the token and started to refine it quickly.

"The Taoist Puppet Brigade is given to you. It will accompany you at all times in the future. Don't do meaningless things, and don't interfere in the affairs of the Luofu Sect at will." The emperor and empress warned.

"I see. It's just like Luotian Immortal Sect." Mei Xianren winked at her. "Don't worry. I know what I'm doing."

After she finished speaking, she waved to the emperor and empress, then left.

Upon seeing this, the Emperor and Empress secretly shook their heads. The senior sister who had lived a second life seemed more cheerful and more out of touch. Perhaps this was her nature. As for the Taoist soldier token, the Emperor and Empress did not think there was anything wrong with it. She was giving it to Mei Xianren to take care of, and outsiders would not say anything if they knew.

What's more, this Taoist soldier puppet was only given to Concubine Mei Tianfei, not Mei Xianren of Luofu Sect. If Mei Xianren wanted to use Taoist soldiers to support Luofu Sect, not only would the emperor and empress be disappointed, but they could also take it back at any time. Anyway, for the emperor and empress, this was a very simple matter.

On the seventh day after Mei Xianren left, Luofu Sect's White Jade Tower officially appeared in the Eight Desolate Heavens. This was another immortal sect and Taoist sect joining in after Luotian Immortal Sect. However, there was no ripple from the outside world, and only the immortal sect and Taoist sect were paying attention. However, due to the demise of the six major immortal sects, the immortal sect and Taoist sect were currently very quiet.

In the Huaimu Universe near the Guanglong Universe, Master Ziyun and the remaining sects of the ten major sects, including the Lieyang Sect, gathered together. This time everyone came with their clones. There were originally ten people, but now there are only four left. The deserted look makes people feel sad for the loss of the rabbit.

"Thank you, Master," the representative of Lieyang Immortal Sect said, "If it weren't for your advice, I'm afraid we would have been defeated this time."

"yes!"

"Thank you, Master Ziyun."

The other two immortal sect representatives spoke up.

This time, they were really glad, because Master Ziyun's strong withdrawal made them feel hesitant and followed him to leave. With just this one choice, they directly avoided the catastrophe of life and death. Now they are all glad, but they are also sweating coldly on their backs.

"No need to say polite words," Master Ziyun sighed, "They are greedy and are seeking their own death. All we can do is to get off the pirate ship."

"They really deserve to die," the representative of Lieyang Xianmen said coldly, "We are just trying to make progress, but we have no intention of betraying the Heavenly Court."

"They are just fools. A great Taoist sect was destroyed just because of their own selfish thoughts." Another representative nodded.

"The most important thing is that it has implicated us." The last representative sighed, "The six major sects and Taoist sects were destroyed, and we also suffered a lot. Fortunately, the emperor and empress are wise and have found out everything. Otherwise, I really don't know how to face the ancestors of our sect!"

To be honest, if Master Ziyun hadn't called everyone together this time, he wouldn't even dare to come. They didn't want to become sinners of the immortal sects. Look at the fate of the six major immortal sects! The Internet was full of abuse and ridicule. The outcome of the six major immortal sects was not worthy of sympathy at all.

If one day he had such an end, he would definitely not survive. Even if he was not scolded to death, he would not be able to bear it and would die.

"Well, the past is in the past, there is no need to mention it again." Master Ziyun said, "I summoned you all this time because I want you to work together to make amends for your crimes."

"Achieve merit?" The representative of Lieyang Immortal Sect immediately asked with interest, "I wonder if the Master has any chance to achieve merit?"

"I have been valued by the Emperor and Empress, and have become one of the leaders of the Guanglong Universe," said Master Ziyun. "There are currently several tasks with different levels of difficulty. You only need to complete one of the tasks to make contributions to the Heavenly Court and receive the Emperor and Empress's commendation. However, this opportunity is not only rare, but also risky."

"What's the risk?" the representative of Lieyang Xianmen said immediately, "It's a rare opportunity for the Master to give us this, we will never back down."

"That's right." The other two representatives from the ten major sects nodded immediately.

As the Heavenly Court expanded and more universes surrendered to it, and with the addition of Guanglong Universe and Bailiu Valley as bridgeheads, the power of the Heavenly Court increased dramatically and the competition became increasingly fierce. For the three representatives who made mistakes, the risk was nothing at all. They had been trying desperately to atone for their sins, and now having the opportunity to make merit was simply a blessing from heaven.

The outcome of the six major sects made them terrified, fearing that they would be included in the list of liquidations, so they have always wanted to make meritorious deeds in order to restore their image in the hearts of the emperor and empress. Only in this way can they be freed from suspicion, so when Master Ziyun summoned them, they absolutely did not hesitate.

Upon seeing this, Master Ziyun immediately realized their urgency and told them the specific details of his search for them without hiding anything. There were actually two main things: one was to lurk in Tianzun Castle, and the other was to lurk in Yueshan Alliance. The others were either to act as traveling merchants to contact other forces, or to gather information.

After listening to it, the three were speechless. They calmed down and were no longer so impulsive and fanatical. As for the mission of Master Ziyun's tree, they also realized that the battle might be about to begin. After a simple analysis of the pros and cons, the three representatives sent the message to the headmaster and others behind them.

In the end, the three major sects all agreed.

This did not surprise Master Ziyun. Where there are risks, there are naturally benefits, and they are visible benefits. Just letting the emperor and empress let go of their grudges and giving them a chance to atone their sins was precious enough. When they left, they were all grateful to Master Ziyun.

Master Ziyun was not in a hurry to leave. She sat quietly for a long time. In fact, the authority to command other immortal sects was what she had been pursuing. Now looking back, she realized that she was wrong. You must know that the real foundation is strength. If she had the power of a Daluo Golden Immortal now, even if she only had Daluo combat power, it would be different.

"The Immortal Gate!" Master Ziyun sighed.

The affairs of the six major immortal sects also frightened the Lingyun Immortal Sect, and even many people in the sect began to oppose her. If the emperor and empress had not valued her, she would probably have suffered heavy losses this time. But all this is understandable. After all, it is unreliable that the decision of an immortal can bring ruin to the Taoist sect.

Although she understood, Master Ziyun still felt very uncomfortable. At the same time, she felt that she was more sober, knowing the importance of the sect and the consequences of her wrong step. Therefore, she was willing to give the other three families a chance. The purpose was to band together for warmth. When the Lingyun Immortal Sect was weak, this was the only chance.

Master Ziyun believed that after this incident, the other three immortal sects would no longer have any doubts about her. Although she could not command the three sects, she had finally regained the right to speak. Next, she would not act according to her previous ideas and thoughts, but would link the interests of the sect with those of the Heavenly Court.

This was what she learned from Tiange Taiyi. As long as her own sect always remained consistent with the Heavenly Court, it would be as stable as a rock. After figuring this out, many of her ideas changed, and this meeting also took place. However, her specific ideas were probably unknown to anyone except herself.

After 40,250 years of the Eight Desolate Calendar, Heaven had completed its control over all the river basins.

The Daluo-level universe, the Taiyi-level universe, and even the Jinxian-level universe all have the Heavenly Dao Net, all are equipped with town envoys and star gods, and even the entrance to the Bailiu Basin has fleets of warships roaming around. Following the order of Heaven, Wang Yao left behind a hundred warships and stationed them in the Bailiu Basin.

It was also from this year that every universe zone in Bailiu Region put products from Heaven on the shelves in Bahuangtian, which indirectly proved the authenticity of Bailiu Region being taken over by Heaven. Although other universe forces were well prepared, they were still surprised.

Thanks to its unique terrain, Bailiu Valley has become a strategic location for the Heavenly Court. It is currently not open to the public, but immortals holding the Eight Desolate Orders still have the opportunity to visit, but there is a time limit and they must be a force that has reached long-term cooperation with the Heavenly Court.

In the same year, Ji'e Daluo quietly came out of seclusion. He reappeared in the universe domain and summoned demon warships and an army of demon fairies. After walking for half a month, he unexpectedly encountered a group of cosmic demons in the middle of the army. Ji'e Daluo fought with them and continued to devour the cosmic demons to improve his own strength.

After the devouring was completed, Ji'e Daluo continued to act as the vanguard.

The destination of the central army is the Chi Ming Dao Palace, which is much farther away than the Bailiu District. Moreover, the Chi Ming Dao Palace belongs to the hinterland of the universe. As the speed of advancement increases, it will not be surprising to encounter anything in the future, let alone the demons from outside the universe. Even if it is the fragments of the world or even the wonders of the universe, it will not be a big deal.

Of course, it will take a long time for the central army to reach the Chi Ming Dao Palace. The exact time is not clear yet, but it will definitely exceed expectations.
