665: Chapter 665 Elder
In the current situation, no matter how one looks at it, there is no reason for the Whale Palace to act against the Joyous Union Sect.
The center of the Spiritual Qi disturbance is the Southern Border, and the Joyous Union Sect is also a damaged party; attacking the Joyous Union Sect has no significance for the overall situation.
Even if they really have ideas about the Joyous Union Sect, it wouldn't be too late to act after waiting for a while for the Southern Border to start fighting with the Dao Court.
If the Whale Palace acts against the Joyous Union Sect now, and attracts the people of the Dao Court to the East Sea, wouldn't that just be making wedding clothes for the Southern Border Demon Tribe for nothing?
Of course! If the Spiritual Qi disturbance in the Southern Border was truly caused by the Southern Border Demon Tribe, it is not impossible for the Yao Race of the two regions to cooperate and form an alliance.
But the Spiritual Qi disturbance has nothing to do with the Great Sage Taisui and other Yao Race; it was caused by the wither-thrive life-death cauldron, so there is no point for the Southern Border Demon Tribe and the East Sea Yao Race to form an alliance.
Even if the two sides really formed an alliance, with the strength of the Whale Palace, they should be the ones in charge, rather than helping the Southern Border out of a siege.
"It is normal for the Whale Palace to have some reaction to the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi disturbance; just wait patiently for news."
Liu Xuan drank calmly and ordered You Ruo to bring a table of sumptuous dishes.
Before long, You Ruo led a group of young girls dressed in bright long skirts flying up, each holding a plate of dishes that were fragrant, colorful, and delicious.
Ice Marrow Spiritual Bamboo Shoots, Profound Pearl Drunken Snails, Deep Blue Jellyfish, Fire Melt Coral Shells...
Liu Xuan had always liked delicious food, but most cultivators forbade the desires of the palate; spiritual items were basically used for Alchemy, and brewing spiritual wine was a waste, so they were rarely used for cooking.
The East Sea was rich in products, and the spiritual fish and spiritual shrimp in the sea were all excellent ingredients, so Liu Xuan brought a batch of imperial chefs from the Liu Mansion to specialize in researching delicacies.
Liu Xuan picked up his jade chopsticks and tasted a few bites, nodding with satisfaction, "Not bad, not bad. After getting used to the mountain delicacies of the Southern Border, these East Sea seafood flavors have a unique taste!"
Liu Xuan particularly liked this dish called Profound Pearl Drunken Snails; the meat was white and tender, full of juice, and naturally carried a scent of wine.
"Xingwan, do you want to eat some?" Liu Xuan looked at Jiang Xingwan, who was motionless to the side.
Jiang Xingwan waved her hand to indicate that she would not eat. After hesitating for a moment, she advised, "Although dishes made with such mundane methods retain their deliciousness, they also retain many useless Impurities. Eating too much is not beneficial to Cultivate, and it is easy to be disturbed by the desires of the palate, causing flaws in the Dao Heart."
"I have a good appetite, it's fine!"
Liu Xuan ate heartily, and the table full of food decreased at a speed visible to the naked eye.
He possessed both the Kunpeng and True Dragon Bloodline Physique; to him, Impurities were also nutrition, and there was no difference.
As for the desire of the palate, that was nourishment for the Six Desires Heavenly Demonic Qi. Liu Xuan was only afraid that the food would not be delicious enough to stimulate much desire.
After eating and drinking his fill, Liu Xuan felt comfortable all over. With Jiang Xingwan watching over the Yao Race affairs, he couldn't be bothered to worry and continued to live his carefree life.
...
Half a month later.
Liu Xuan went to an affiliated island near the Yin and Yang Great Dao, intending to make some changes to the Formation nodes on the island.
A delicate woman dressed in a white Confucian robe, disguised as a male cultivator, accompanied Liu Xuan.
She was not Liu Xuan's Concubine, but Yu Chi, who had followed Liu Xuan from the Southern Border.
Yu Chi, Jinglei, and Tong Xiao, these three Golden Core Realm Yao Race children, were also brought by Liu Xuan to the East Sea for training this time.
All three had Dragon Clan Bloodline, and the water-attributed Spiritual Qi of the East Sea had a great boosting effect on their Cultivate.
As soon as the two brothers Jinglei and Tong Xiao arrived, Liu Xuan found them a palace in the Liangyi Palace to go into closed-door training, and they had not come out yet.
Among the three, Yu Chi had the lowest Bloodline rank, and she still needed to Cultivate the True Dragon Fate Reversal Scripture to improve her Bloodline, so she was originally the one who should be in closed-door training the most.
But this girl insisted that she was interested in Formation and begged Liu Xuan to teach her how to set up Arrays.
"Have you learned the Formation method I just taught you? If you can't learn it, you had better honestly Cultivate with your Aunt Bai Jie."
When Liu Xuan was dealing with the Formation nodes on the island just now, he deliberately chose complex parts to explain. He just wanted to dampen Yu Chi's self-confidence and let her go back to Cultivate with peace of mind.
Formation is not that easy to learn; without talent, no amount of effort is a waste, just a waste of time.
Yu Chi frowned slightly, first shook her head, then nodded, "Daughter has learned most of it, but I don't quite understand these few places..."
Liu Xuan was stunned after hearing this and blurted out, "When did you have such Formation attainment? Didn't you have no talent for Formation?"
Yu Chi was the daughter with the highest Bloodline talent at present, and Liu Xuan could be considered doting on her. How could Liu Xuan not know what level she was at?
This girl learned a little bit of everything, but had no talent for anything, so Liu Xuan did not force her. Apart from letting her Cultivate the True Dragon Fate Reversal Scripture well, he did not force her in other aspects.
"You have been lying to your father!" Liu Xuan realized instantly.
"No!" Yu Chi retorted loudly, "Daughter only became interested in Formation recently, I didn't study hard before..." Her voice became quieter as she spoke.
Liu Xuan reached out and tapped her head, saying helplessly, "I am still too doting on you. In a few days, I will bring your mother over and let her keep you company."
"Oh..." Yu Chi saw that Liu Xuan was really a bit angry, so this time she didn't say much and agreed pitifully.
"Your mother is busy impacting the Nascent Soul Bottleneck, I'm afraid she doesn't have much time to look after you." Liu Xuan pondered for a moment, "Let me see if I can call your sister Ling Hui over... Hmm?"
While Liu Xuan was thinking about Yu Chi's education problem, he suddenly looked towards the direction of the Yin and Yang Great Island, a trace of doubt appearing on his face.
"What's wrong?" Yu Chi asked, looking left and right.
"Nothing, let's go back."
A spatial mirror surface slowly emerged, and Liu Xuan stepped into it with his daughter, disappearing instantly.
Xuanyin Pavilion.
Liu Xuan sent his daughter back to a palace in the Liangyi Palace and immediately teleported to the Star Observation Platform.
At this time, on the Star Observation Platform, Jiang Xingwan stood with her hands behind her back. Below were Sun Wan, Xu Zhiyin, Zhang Yun, Shi Yuan, Yin Lizhi... most of the Saintess and Saint were there.
"Something happened?" Liu Xuan walked slowly to Jiang Xingwan's side and asked.
Jiang Xingwan nodded slightly, "It can't be considered a big deal. The Whale Palace wants to take back the Chaotic Sea Region. I want to hear your opinion: should we let them have it, or should we fight for it?"
As soon as Jiang Xingwan said this, everyone below looked at each other. When had the Dao Lord ever listened to other people's opinions when doing things? It seemed that the Dao Lord wanting to become a Dao Companion with Liu Xuan was not a joke.
"No need!" Liu Xuan thought for a moment and waved his hand, "The Chaotic Sea Region does not nominally belong to the territory of the Joyous Union Sect. The Whale Palace does not need to worry about the Dao Court, and we don't need to compete with them."
Without the support of the Dao Court, it was difficult for the Joyous Union Sect to compete with the Whale Palace. Losing the Chaotic Sea Region was nothing more than losing some resources. If they wanted to keep these benefits, Jiang Xingwan would have to take action personally, which was completely unnecessary.
Jiang Xingwan smiled gently at Liu Xuan, then turned to the crowd below and ordered, "Immediately withdraw all our people from the Chaotic Sea Region, deploy defenses along the border sea area, and pay attention to the movements of the Yao Race at any time."
"We obey!"
"We obey!"
Just as everyone was about to leave, they heard Jiang Xingwan continue to order, "From now on, Liu Xuan is no longer a Saint of the Yin-Yang Branch, but an Elder. His orders are my orders."
Everyone was stunned, then bowed to Liu Xuan one after another.
"Greetings, Elder Liu!"
"Greetings, Elder Liu!"
