Chapter 889 Taixu
As usual, the ancestor makes decisions behind the scenes on all matters of the sect.
After the decision, the head of the sect and the powerful elders below will discuss the details step by step and implement them.
The ancestors of the three sects, Tai'a, Chongxu and Taixu, have already secretly agreed.
After that, the matter of "the confluence of the three sects" began to really move forward.
This matter is too important, and many people in the three sects, including the heads and elders of each sect, are somewhat unhappy.
But this is the intention of the ancestor, and they cannot disobey it.
The ancestor has a high level of cultivation, stands high, and sees far.
If you don't stand in the position of the ancestor, you don't know the concerns of the ancestor, nor do you know the overall plan.
The heads and elders of each sect understand this.
Therefore, although many people have complaints about this, the "consolidation of the three sects" is still moving forward little by little in secret.
After a series of trivial matters have been discussed, the heads of the three sects, Tai'a, Chongxu and Taixu, gathered together and finally decided on the specific matters of "consolidation".
There is no need to bother the ancestors with these matters, and the heads of these sects will bargain for them.
Finally, the rules are determined and presented to the ancestors for review. The ancestors nod and the matter is finally settled.
In a closed hall of Taixu Sect.
The heads of Tai'a, Chongxu and Taixu Sects gathered together to discuss matters.
"The three sects merge. In name, the three sects are unified, but the positions of their respective heads and elders and teachers remain unchanged."
"The disciples remain unchanged."
"The authority of each sect remains unchanged."
"The ancestors and heads of each sect still have independent decision-making power over the affairs of their respective sects." Taixu Sect Head said.
This is also a compromise.
Otherwise, if the authority of Tai'a and Chongxu Sects is wiped out, it will really become "annexation".
This also runs counter to the original intention of Taixu Sect to "join hands and help each other".
"But," said Taixu Sect Master, "if there are major issues, the three sects must gather together to discuss. Only resolutions agreed by the majority can be implemented."
"And our Taixu Sect has a veto power."
This is the right of Taixu Sect.
The Taixu Sect is now powerful and has the highest status among the three sects. When the three sects merged, they did not ask for the power of arbitrary decision, but only asked for a "veto" power, which was already a big concession.
Staple Master Tai'a and Sect Master Chongxu also nodded in agreement.
Everyone knows these things.
Staple Master Taixu continued: "The following are some specific matters of mutual communication..."
"The sect orders are interoperable. The disciples of the three sects can visit the mountain gates of the three sects with their own sect orders without restrictions."
"Tai'a Order, Chongxu Order, Taixu Order, all are treated equally, and can be regarded as the tokens of the sect after the merger of the three sects."
The sect order is very important and also symbolizes the disciples' belonging to the sect.
But now at the beginning of the merger, it is not appropriate to unify, so as to avoid rejection from the disciples of Tai'a and Chongxu.
Moreover, the sect order is complex in structure and expensive. It needs to be based on the thunder magnetic array, change the bottom layer of the array, expand the array hub, add sequences, and embed the two major systems of bounty and meritorious deeds. It is not so easy to unify in a short period of time.
Especially the meritorious deeds system, which is directly related to the inheritance system of each sect, and cannot be changed rashly, but can only be done step by step.
The head of Taixu said: "The merits of the three sects will be gradually connected in the future, and the merits and rewards will be shared."
"The rewards of the merits of each sect will be shared first, and then gradually released according to the situation, and finally merged into one sect."
"But the core inheritance of each sect can be retained..."
"After the three sects merge, the teachings of disciples will also be shared."
"The elders and teachers of Tai'a, Chongxu and Taixu will move around and teach disciples the way of cultivation together."
"From now on, sword forging will be taught by Tai'a Sect, sword energy will be taught by Chongxu Sect, and formations will be taught by my Taixu Sect."
"This can also gradually enhance the connection and feelings between the three sects..."
"In addition..."
...
The merger and reform of the three sects is very complicated.
The three heads discussed from morning to night, and discussed the general matters one by one, and the drafted regulations were also recorded in the jade slips.
Then, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief and drank a sip of tea.
But the atmosphere was not relaxed, but more serious.
Because the three of them knew that the next question was the most important, the most core, and the most acute.
After a moment, the head of Tai'a spoke first:
"After the three sects merge...what will be the name?"
The "name" of the sect is crucial.
If the name is not right, the words will not flow.
And a good name is related to the fortune of the sect, and even the rise and fall of the next hundred or thousand years.
What's more, now that the three sects are merging, this name is more related to the face and honor of each sect.
This matter is serious, and the three of them are not easy to speak casually.
Sect Leader Chongxu pondered for a moment and said slowly: "How about... still use the name of the ancient sect?"
Sect Leader Tai'a shook his head and said: "Do you really dare to use it?"
Sect Leader Taixu also sighed: "That name is no longer allowed to be mentioned."
"Yes, all records have been destroyed."
"And the luck is too great to bear. Our three sects have been forced to split once. If we use this name again, we may have to split again not long after the merger."
"It is even more impossible for Daoting to agree..."
"We don't mention that name. It's okay just to unite the clan. That is to say, the weak are united and have no choice but to use that name. But using that name makes it appear ambitious and will definitely anger the Taoist court."
"Under such circumstances, it would be good to be able to hide from the four major sects, withstand the pressure from all parties, and successfully unite the sect. If it arouses the suspicion of the Taoist court again, then all the plots at this time will be aborted."
"Can't use that name."
"Yes, it must not be used..."
The three heads looked solemn.
"Then..." said the leader of Chongxu, "What name should I use?"
The atmosphere was a little dull.
The leader of Tai'a is tall and resolute, with a steady gaze.
The leader of Chongxu's Jianfeng Daogu, his eyes are full of light.
The head of Taixu looked calm, looking like a Buddhist who cultivates his moral integrity.
The three of them had their own thoughts, but they didn't say anything.
After a while, seeing that everyone was speechless, Head Tai'a couldn't help it anymore and spoke first:
"Well, before the three sects merged, my Tai'amen was the most famous, ranking first among the eight gates. I think it's better to just call it 'Tai'amen', which is also the most famous."
The head of Chongxu disagreed at first:
"What are you thinking about? That was before, you were too amen and now, you can't even be ranked in the eight gates..."
"According to me, our three sects still follow the ancestral duty and focus on sword cultivation. The sword energy of my Chongxu Sect is comparable to that of the four major sects. Although it is inferior, it is not much different. Therefore, the three sects merged Finally, it would be better to use Chongxumen’s name, which is the most appropriate.”
"No, no," said the head of Tai'a, "I, Tai'amen, have the most disciples. With many people, I am powerful, so I am called 'Tai'amen'..."
"Didn't a group of disciples withdraw?" Chongxu's leader said.
"Even if there are disciples who withdraw, they are still the largest number." Head Tai'a said, and then said disdainfully, "Moreover, those who withdraw are all people who follow the wind and only want to share joys and sorrows. Even if these disciples retreat, they will make me, Amen, united..."
"But the qualifications of those left behind are not top-notch..." Head Chongxu said unforgivingly.
The head of Tai'a was not happy:
"How come it's not top-notch? Isn't it enough to have high-grade spiritual roots? It has to be top-grade?"
"Besides, how good are your qualifications to be called good? No matter how good your qualifications are, if you don't have a sense of belonging to the sect, don't work together, and run away when trouble comes, you are still a bad boy! What's the use of teaching such a white-eyed wolf?"
"That's what I say, but in the Sword Discussion Conference, what we look at is qualifications, cultivation, and ability!" Chongxu Sect Leader raised his eyebrows and said, "My Chongxu Sect is different."
"In my Chongxu Sect, there is a swordsman genius who is rare to see in five hundred years. The most valuable thing is that he is of the same mind as my Chongxu Sect and will never leave him even now."
"In the next sword discussion conference, this boy will shine and become the number one swordsman among our three sects, enough to compete with the four major sects!"
"And the sect is proud of its disciples. My Chongxu sect disciple has the highest talent. In my opinion, I named him 'Chongxu'."
"No! It's better to use Tai'a."
"Chongxu."
"Taa!"
"As long as you name it Chongxu, I can open the door to teach all the disciples of the three sects the sword energy method of Chongxu Sect."
"Then I, Tai Amen, can also teach you how to make swords..."
…
The two of them were arguing endlessly.
But after the two argued for a long time, they found that the head of Taixu on the side was silent, and they couldn't help but feel confused.
"You Taixu Sect, don't you have any objections?"
The head of Taixu had a Buddhist look on his face and waved his hand, "It's just the name. The Taixu Sect doesn't care. You two can discuss a plan and be satisfied with each other."
At this time, the heads of Tai'a and Chongxu couldn't help but be surprised.
Is Taixumen so generous?
They thought Master Taixu was joking, but they saw that his expression was indifferent, as if he was detached and unconcerned with external things around him.
Thinking of his usual Buddhist attitude towards others, they all nodded, feeling relieved.
The head of Tai'a agreed: "Then it's settled, it will be called 'Tai'amen'."
"Such a big face, what do you mean it's settled like this?" Head Chongxu was not happy.
"The Taixu Clan all agree."
"What nonsense are you talking about? When did Taixu Clan agree to it? They just didn't argue, and they didn't say they would give it to you. Besides, I haven't agreed to Chongxu Clan yet."
"Why don't you know what is good and what is evil?"
"You don't know what's good and what's good!"
The two argued for a while and almost got angry.
When the head of Taixu saw this, he sighed, acted as a peacemaker, and said sincerely:
"The original intention of the merger of the three sects is that the three sects can work together and be powerful. If there are endless disputes over the same name, wouldn't it backfire..."
Head Tai'a and Head Chongxu both felt a little ashamed when they heard this.
It's not that they have to fight, but the sect's interests lie here.
As leaders, even if they are shameless, they still have to fight.
But it would really be unseemly to continue fighting like this...
The head of Taixu pondered for a moment and sighed:
"Well, let's do this. Since you two are arguing endlessly and can't make up your mind, why don't you each take a step back. The sect names after the merger of these three sects will take one word from each of your two sects and combine them into one name. , In this way, everyone will be fair.”
"Take one word each?"
"good."
Head Tai'a and Head Chongxu looked at each other, then each thought for a moment, and both nodded involuntarily.
They didn't think about it for a moment, they just felt that this was indeed the most fair and acceptable to both parties.
"Okay!" said the head of Tai'a, "then let Taixu Sect take these two words."
This is also fair to Taixu Sect.
The head of Chongxu also nodded and said: "This is the best."
But as soon as he finished speaking, I felt a subtle sense of disobedience, as if something was wrong...
But it's too late.
The head of Taixu’s eyes lit up and he said:
"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey orders. Let's do this. I have thought about it. After the three sects merged, we will take the word 'Tai' from Tai'amen and the word 'Xu' from Chongxumen. Together, they will be the sect's name."
"Take the word "Tai" from Tai'amen, and take the word "Xu" from Chongxumen, and..."
Head Tai Ah returned to the future, his eyes widened immediately, he patted the table and said:
"Isn't this too vain?! Okay, I asked you why you didn't say a word, and you were waiting here for a long time?"
I was actually deceived by his calm appearance.
He said, when it comes to the name of the sect, how could anyone really be indifferent?
After working for a long time, this guy with a Buddhist look is the most insidious!
The head of Taixu smiled slightly and said:
"You all agreed to this. You agreed to choose the names from your two sects. You also agreed to let me choose."
"Since you all agreed, let's just settle it. After the three sects merge, they will be called the 'Taixu Sect'."
"Everyone is the leader of a sect, and every word is more important than Mount Tai. You can't just keep your word..."
Leader Tai'a's face turned red from suppressing his emotions.
The leader of Chongxu was also speechless.
But the words have been spoken, and they have handed them the words. To go back on it at this time is tantamount to a slap in the face.
Head Chongxu sighed: "Then let's do it."
The head of Tai'a was also a little reluctant and said: "Then let's use 'Taixu' as the name..."
Taixu leader Yun Danfeng smiled softly.
Of course, the three people here actually understand it in their hearts.
Although they argued for a long time, the name of this new sect will definitely be decided by Taixu Sect in the end.
The situation is stronger than the person, and the game between sects ultimately depends on strength.
Today, Taixu Gate ranks third among the eight gates and has the greatest reputation.
When it comes to inheritance, the three sects are of the same lineage and complement each other, so it is difficult to really distinguish between them.
But no matter how strong the sword is, no matter how powerful it is, it is not unique.
The most unique thing is actually the Taixu Sect's divine sense sword technique.
Even if the Shen Nian Sword Technique can no longer be passed down, improving it on the original basis and iterating it into the Sword Intent Technique will still be a very profound inheritance of swordsmanship.
Things like sword intention may be very weak and not very powerful when building the foundation, but after cultivating the golden elixir and having deep consciousness to a certain extent, sword intention will begin to show its edge.
The feathering is stronger, and the higher the cultivation level is, the more terrifying the sword will be.
Such profound things can only be found in sects with deep foundations.
Therefore, based on this calculation, in terms of inheritance, Taixu Sect actually has the deepest foundation.
And when it comes to disciples, it's even less so.
Tai'amen has the most disciples, but after all these twists and turns, very few stand out.
There was indeed a swordsman genius in the Chongxu Sect, but that was in the future after all, and he had not yet participated in the sword debate, so his true combat power was unknown.
But even if he is really strong, he can at most be on par with the top geniuses of the four major sects.
But Taixumen is different.
There is a "monster" in Taixu Sect.
In the middle stage of foundation building, he ranks first in the discussion formation and is the leader of the formation. This is almost a crushing, cliff-like genius. He can basically "definitely determine" the leader of the next discussion formation.
This is a real, unrivaled talent.
Therefore, after all calculations, Taixu Sect is the strongest.
The name of the sect is of great significance. They are all the heads of their respective sects. No matter what, they must fight for it and try their best.
But if we can’t fight, there’s nothing we can do.
In this matter, the leader of Taixu seems to be playing tricks, but in fact, it can be regarded as giving everyone a step down.
After being tricked by Taixu Sect, the sect lost its name.
It was better than admitting that they were indeed inferior to Taixu Sect and then having to compromise and use "Taixu Sect" as their name.
What's more, what Master Taixu said is actually correct.
The two characters Taixu indeed include the "Tai" of Tai'amen and the "Xu" of Chongxumen, which is indeed suitable for the name of the sect after the merger of the three sects.
This matter is considered a done deal.
The head of Taixu changed his leisurely look, bowed his hands to the heads of the other two sects, and said solemnly:
"Don't worry, you two, there will be no bias in the merger of the three sects. The names of the respective sects will not be discarded."
"After that, the three sects were combined into one, collectively called the 'Taixu Sect', and their respective disciples were called according to the mountain sect they were in."
"Tai'a Mountain, Chongxu Mountain, Taixu Mountain, the disciples of the three mountains are combined into one lineage."
“Three mountains and one ridge are connected by the same spirit, we are in the same boat, we are in the same boat, and we work together with one heart!”
The head of Tai'a and the head of Chongxu also raised their hands and said:
"Three mountains and one bloodline, work together as one!"
The voices of the three heads echoed in Taixu Mountain.
Since then, the largest sect in the Qianxue State has come together again after thousands of years of ups and downs since its separate branches.
…
The agreement of the three sects to merge instantly caused an uproar in the borders of Qianxue State.
Especially the four major sects were shocked from top to bottom.
"So... shameless!"
"How shameless!"
"How do they do it? They don't even want the foundation of the sect? Just say they can make it together?"
"You are kidding me! You have been on your own for so many years, why are you still playing the game of 'if we unite for a long time, we will break up, if we stay apart for a long time, we will unite'?"
Some people are also confused: "Why hasn't there been any news before?"
"Cause and effect are covered..."
"It's the work of the Taixu Sect ancestor..."
"No, it's not that simple...it's because of that monster from Taixu Sect."
"We were involved in too much energy and calculation power by the formation monster of Taixu Sect. Everyone was calculating about that shocking monster. As a result, the lights were dark and they ignored the small actions of Taixu Sect."
"Using the formation 'monster' that appeared out of nowhere to confuse the public and conceal the cause and effect, in order to secretly promote the merger of the three sects..."
"Use thunderous means to win a quick victory. By the time we realize it, it's already too late..."
"Is this part of their plan?"
"The scheming of the ancestor of Taixu Sect... is truly unfathomable..."
"Silence, Ancestor Dongxu, are you and I allowed to criticize you?"
…
The four major sects were either shocked, emotional, angry, or worried, and their emotions were mixed at the moment.
Qian Dao Sect, above the high pavilion.
The ancestor of the Shen family, dressed in rich clothes, frowned as he looked at the jade slip in front of him.
Elder Shen knelt down, not daring to raise his head:
"The secrets of heaven and earth cause and effect, making noises in the east and attacking in the west, and secretly making a secret..."
"Moreover, the Taixu Sect moved too quickly. Everything was taken care of from top to bottom. The Qianxue Sect was reorganized and there was no mandatory requirement to not allow the sects to merge. A loophole was taken advantage of."
The main thing is that they didn't expect that the divided sects could actually give up their own sects and unite again.
This is difficult to understand in the eyes of the monks from Qiandao Sect.
"The Daoting side has also completed the regulations. It seems that a certain pavilion elder personally issued the words to handle special matters..."
"It's already too late for us to use our connections to obstruct it."
"In this matter, this junior has neglected his duty..."
Elder Shen buried his head on the ground.
The ancestor of the Shen family looked at the jade slip. After a moment, his frown slightly relaxed and he threw the jade slip aside.
"That's all. Just tie three grasshoppers to a rope and save yourself the trouble."
"Tai'amen and Chongxumen are now severely weakened. Taixumen is a little better, but they all relied on good luck and a formation genius to get into the top three of the eight gates."
"Three strands of rope, even if twisted together, can't keep up with any of the four major sects."
"What's more, in the Dao Discussion Conference, sword discussion is the big one. If they can't make a breakthrough in sword discussion, they can only linger like this."
"It's not your fault, just get up..."
Elder Shen breathed a long sigh of relief and shouted, "Ancestor Mingjian." Then he slowly stood up.
But before he could stand up completely, the ancestor of the Shen family focused his eyes again and asked him:
"It's not your fault, but are you... hiding something from me?"
Elder Shen trembled and said in a hoarse voice: "Ancestor, I don't understand what you mean..."
"Did you..." the Shen family ancestor said indifferently, "did you ruin your place of origin by hiding it from me?"
As soon as these words came out, it was like a bolt from the blue.
Elder Shen's body was like chaff, and he immediately fell to the ground and confessed, "Ancestor, I, I was careless, I..."
The ancestor of the Shen family looked at him contemptuously, shook his head slightly and said:
"alright."
Elder Shen was still afraid and did not dare to speak.
"This is not a big deal," said the Shen family ancestor. "In the final analysis, he is just a genius disciple."
"The world of cultivation is huge, and there are always amazing geniuses."
"But things like 'genius' are extremely fragile and difficult to grow."
"Cultivation is a long journey, and anything can happen..."
"The so-called geniuses are those who have experienced setbacks and are unable to recover; there are those who were amazing when they were young, but lost sight of everyone when they got older; there are those who have a long road and are frustrated and decadent; there are those who are obsessed with the world of mortals and are willing to fall; there are those who are envied by others and suffer hardships There are people who persecute people; there are also people who are arrogant and seek death..."
"Young geniuses, when they grow up, can be successful in cultivating Taoism, and there are very few who can suppress one party."
"Most of the giants of a party were not very talented when they were young. After going through hardships and forging ahead, they matured late and became powerful monks."
"That evildoer called 'Mo Hua' is just building a foundation in the final analysis. Don't be surprised by the temporary fame and mess up your position."
"Yes, my ancestors have expressed their gratitude." Elder Shen lowered his hands and said.
The ancestor of the Shen family thought about it for a moment, his eyes showed contemplation, and then said:
"Furthermore, I don't believe that he really cultivated his spiritual consciousness by himself. He must have used some weird means to borrow or steal it from elsewhere. It may not really be his own."
Then he snorted coldly, "In the middle stage of foundation building, can you really win the leader of the formation with the peak of nineteen lines? The moisture in this is too great. Is it true that all the monks in the world have never seen the world?"
Elder Shen felt relieved after hearing what his ancestor said.
He also felt that this matter was somewhat ridiculous.
It's just that he saw it with his own eyes in the Array Competition before and was shocked in his heart, so he didn't think about it for a while.
Elder Shen said again: "Ancestor, I am afraid that this child has the ancient order of entering the sect and worshiping the mountain gate. I am afraid that there is some chance and cause and effect..."
The ancestor of the Shen family shook his head, "You don't know the origin of ancient fate. Now that things have happened, how can there be any chance?"
"There are fifty great ways, and forty-nine heavenly evolutions. It's already forty-nine. Those who should die have died, and those who should die have died. What's the point of talking about opportunities? Isn't it a joke?"
Elder Shen didn't quite understand what he said, but he bowed as usual:
"Yes, the ancestor is wise."
The ancestor of the Shen family looked at Elder Shen silently again, and said coldly:
"Your biggest mistake in this matter is not that you didn't accept this disciple, but that you didn't think about reporting it when something happened, and you even wanted to conceal it."
"According to the general rules, your position as an elder will be erased, but I'll give you a chance... …”
“You figure out a way, by whatever means, to grab the champion of the next array discussion meeting.”
“I only look at the result. As long as the champion of array is from my Qiandao Sect, I will forgive you and you will still be reused. Otherwise, you will be demoted to an ordinary elder, and spend dozens or hundreds of years to climb up again step by step.”
Elder Shen was sweating coldly, but he had no room to refuse the order of the ancestor, so he could only kowtow repeatedly and said:
“Thank you for your forgiveness, ancestor, I will do my best and will do my best!”
The ancestor of the Shen family waved his hand.
Elder Shen did not dare to say anything more and retreated respectfully.
After Elder Shen left, the ancestor of the Shen family sat alone in the white jade building, thinking silently.
After an incense stick, he shook his head and sneered:
"Everyone is dead, and you want to entrust your orphan to me?"
"What do you think of my Qiandao Sect?"
"It's not the same now. Do you still think that my Qiandao Sect is a subordinate sect and should be humble and accept your karma?"
The ancestor of the Shen family snorted coldly.
...
The matter of the three sects merging has been settled.
At this time, the news has been spread.
Not only the outside world, but also the disciples of Tai'a, Chongxu, and Taixu were all shocked when they heard the news.
They never expected that the three sects were originally doing their own things, but they had some origins from their ancestors, but in the blink of an eye, they were about to merge.
Mo Hua was also very surprised.
It's not that he had never thought that the three sects might merge again, but he didn't expect that there would be such a day.
And this day came so quickly and a little suddenly.
He thought of what Mr. Xun had said to him a few days ago:
"Once a junior brother, always a junior brother, it can't be changed. And maybe after a while, you can be the junior brother of more people..."
Mo Hua was a little surprised.
What Mr. Xun said turned out to be true...
And, the three sects merged...
Mo Hua touched his chin.
It seems that his "junior brother" has become "big and strong" without paying attention...
