The blue sky, white clouds, and the green waves are filled with green mountains.

Starry Lake, a huge lake in Tianyuan, Zhongzhou, is known for its beautiful scenery. The surrounding green mountains are beautiful and the peaks are green. Now winter is gone and spring is coming, the lake water is as green as blue, bright and clear as the sky light falls, and the lake shadows are blended with the mountains. The mountains and rivers are all integrated and continuous, like a huge painting scroll spreading. Some people use light strokes to describe a fairy in green tulle and silk ribbon, which is so graceful and beautiful that it makes people linger and intoxicated without knowing where to go.

At this moment, a huge white jade lotus-shaped floating platform is located in a bay on Xingyao Lake, with more than a hundred acres. It looks like a pearl in a clam at a high altitude, dazzling.

The white jade floating platform is far away from the lake shore, but it uses magical powers to transform six lotus leaf bridges to connect it. The floating platform is close to the inner lake and also has an exquisite dock to offer monks who enjoy the scenery of the lake and mountains to take the stage. The reason for this design is that there are restrictions on the floating platform, which prohibit monks from flying, and monks can only walk on the stage.

And this white jade floating platform is the venue of this year's "Thousand Sects Association".

As the saying goes, "Wine is not afraid of deep alleys", but there are many sects in the cultivation world, and there are not many large or small numbers. Some large and small cultivators flock to them, while no one cares about the small sects. As a result, many small sects have few people and finally cut off their inheritance. Although the sparrow is small and has all the internal organs, there are many sects with real talents and knowledge among these small sects. It is really regrettable to wither and withdraw from the stage of cultivation in this way, and it is also a great loss to the cultivation world.

Therefore, after discussion, the major cultivation families hit it off and took turns to provide new recruitment platforms for these small sects. The small sects settled in them, each showing their own strength and advising them to recruit disciples. This is the annual "Thousand Sects Association", which has been more than a hundred years now and has been well received by small and medium-sized sects, saving many sects on the verge of decline.

The "Thousand Sects Association" this year was the responsibility of the Jiuxiao Divine Sect. The Jiuxiao Divine Sect was extremely powerful, and all the female disciples in the sect were stunning. However, these beauties were independent in the world and could not be disgusted. There were not many people who dared to provoke him when walking in the cultivation world. According to legend, the Sword Sect and the Jiuxiao Divine Sect were unhappy because of some things, so that the two sects would fight each other when they met. Although they were all delicate women, they were ruthless in their actions and were quite arrogant. In the end, the Sword Sect had to make concessions. Anyone with the Jiuxiao Divine Sect present would retreat. Even this was the case with the Sword Sect, let alone the others, which shows that.

On the white jade lotus platform, each sect set up stands in designated locations, row by row, neatly arranged, and as soon as the preparation was completed, they used various means to attract monks to enter. For a time, the crowds were crowded, the sound was loud and the sound was noisy, which was quite similar to the world's market.

The female disciples of the Jiuxiao Divine Sect walked through the place to maintain order. They flew with their clothes, their hair was flying, and their steps were graceful. Wherever they passed, the fragrance was swaying, the female cultivator was ashamed of herself, and the male cultivator was imaginary. Zi Mofangchen, who had met Su Qinxuan in the Wanhua Illusion Realm, was one of them. She walked with several senior sisters and chatted as if no one was around.

"Last year it was the Sword Sect's turn. I looked at it from a distance, not to mention it was so deserted!" She shivered deliberately, which made all the senior sisters cover their mouths and chuckle. The beauty was smiling and naturally another scenery, which made the passers-by feel rippled. She said again, but her tone was a little helpless, "It seems that when it is our Jiuxiao Divine Sect, it is always crowded!"

"Oh..." The beauties sighed in unison and frowned slightly, without much needing to say anything about the reason.

"Huh?" She suddenly noticed a familiar aura and said to herself, "Is that little girl here too?" So she followed her breath and saw a young man stopping in front of a small sect stall. The leader was dancing and spitting to introduce the situation of the sect to him.

"Who? Do you know?" The senior sisters followed her gaze, but they saw that it was a man. They immediately became interested and joked, "Oh, Fangchen misses a man, wait for the senior sisters to ask you if he is married!"

Zi Mofangchen's pretty face turned red and his expression was embarrassed. The sisters liked to play the most and often made irrelevant jokes, which meant to be the one who did it. If they scared away the disciples that the sect had finally recruited, it would be a great sin to eliminate the incense of that sect. Since he was a man, he must not be that little girl. It would be better to have less trouble than more things. Zi Mofangchen snorted lightly, turned around and left.

"Let's go quickly, it's so polite to block others' paths in the middle of the road!"

"Yo, I'm still shy!" The senior sisters refused to give in and followed with a smile, and soon merged into the crowd and disappeared.

······

This is a very inconspicuous small stall, with one table and two stools, a faded banner. The golden-edged characters on it are a bit blurry, and it can be seen clearly that it is "Wan Dao Shenzong". There are two people behind the table, one is a middle-aged Taoist priest who sighs with a stubble, and the other is a young man lying lazily on the table while yawning. In addition to the fact that his name is a bit domineering, this sect is shabby everywhere.

"Don't miss it when you pass by... Hey, this little brother, I see your bones are amazing, and you are a talented genius in thousands..."

The man Zi Mo Fangchen thought was strange was stopped by the middle-aged Taoist with such intimidating words. He was quite handsome and graceful. He had a black jade gourd around his waist, a slightly thick light-colored brocade dress, all with fur collars on the neck of the collar and a beautiful hand stove in his hand. Now that spring is chilly and the wind blows on the lake, he is actually a little afraid of the cold.

When he heard the Taoist saying that he was a genius of cultivation, the man in brocade suddenly had his eyes lit up and he was happy. The Taoist knew it in his heart, but he did not speak and kicked the boy secretly. The boy looked unhappy, but he saw the Taoist looking at him coldly and had to turn his laziness. He smiled in an instant, enthusiastic and active, and the change was astonishing. The two of them were carrying the man's expression on their backs, and the man was immersed in joy and did not notice it.

"Come on, please sit down with me, little brother!" The Taoist hurriedly stepped forward and pulled the man in brocade clothes to his stall, fearing that he would be snatched away by others. The boy also hurriedly took out his stool from the inside, wiped it with his sleeve, and gave the man in brocade clothes. He stood behind the Taoist, lowered his eyes and nodded, and respectfully.

The noise suddenly stopped. It was thought that the Taoist used a soundproof barrier.

The Taoist sat opposite the man in brocade, calm and unfathomable, looked at the man in brocade, and then he slowly said, "I think the little brothers have a good face and are not in the pool. The five mountains are full, the three talents are well-proportioned, and they have a life of glory and food and clothing. The eyebrows are beautiful and high, the eyes are bright, the ears are hanging beads towards the mouth, the nose is straight and high, the lips are red and white. The sky mansion is bright, and the mansion is straight and straight, and the underworld is equidistant and the underworld is commensurate. Such five senses and six palaces are all the best, and they are the fate of being rich and noble. Also, the little brothers' breath is refreshing, upright and powerful, and they move like tigers roaring and dragons, and all the beasts are afraid of it; they are as quiet as a mountain, and there are phoenixes and cranes, which are clear and clear. This is the only one who has seen this in my life. Today I have seen such a face in my thousands, and I have a blessing in my life!"

The Taoist said, showing a look of regret in this life, and even squeezed out a few tears. The young man behind him also looked envious.

The man in brocade was filled with splendors and felt confused when he heard the Taoist saying it, and he couldn't understand it very well. However, he naturally remembered some keywords, "It is definitely not something in the pond", "A lifetime of glory", "Great wealth and great honor", "Nothing in a thousand", and "Dragon, Tiger, Phoenix and Crane", and couldn't help but be happy.

But the Taoist there frowned and sighed when he saw this, and the young man also showed a regretful expression. The man in brocade was stunned and hurriedly asked for the reason.

"From the moment when my little brother entered this 'Thousand Sects', I fell in love with you at one glance, but I called you at this moment. Do you know why?" The Taoist paused, and the man in brocade shook his head and expressed his confusion. The Taoist then said again, "I want you to discover the opportunity yourself! The road to practicing Taoism is long and arduous, and the opportunity is mysterious and unpredictable! The little brother has been walking along the way, but he only stopped at the 'Ten Thousand Sect', which is why?" The man in brocade frowned and was about to speak, but the Taoist was already speaking first, "It's because you are destined to be with the 'Ten Thousand Sect'!"

The man in brocade's face gradually faded, his eyes clear and transparent, he nodded and asked the Taoist to answer one or two questions.

The Taoist nodded and said slowly, "Young brother is so qualified that he can be protected by the real dragon and the heavenly phoenix. Not to mention the smoky Thousand Sects, I assert that in the cultivation world are the Jiuxiao Divine Sect, Sword Sect, and Tianshi Taoist Sect, you are also a big fish that cannot be occupied by shallow water! You will definitely ask, what sect can match you?"

The Taoist stood up, walked to the flagpole, and waved the faded flag suddenly. But when the flag was waving and roaring, the words "Tian Dao Shenzong" were shining brightly and dazzling, making people dare not look directly at it. Although the Taoist under the flag was in a down-and-out manner, he actually felt a bit majestic.

"The sky is great, and the earth is great, and only the 'Ten Thousand Dao Shenzong' can match you!" The Taoist said loudly, loudly. He saw the man in brocade nodding, then sat back, and continued, "What is the ten thousand way? It means the cultivation of all things, and the magic method is mysterious. The 'Ten Thousand Dao Shenzong' is all-encompassing, and even the great masters are the ones who have the sword path not inferior to the sword path, the Yuanshen Taoism is not inferior to the Tianshi Taoism, the mechanical puppets are not inferior to the Gongshu family, the Qimen Dunjia is not inferior to Zhuge Wuhou, the medical path is not inferior to the Tianji Sect, etc., what sect can do this in the cultivation world?"

The young master of Jinyi frowned slightly, looked at the shabby master and apprentice, and then looked at the stall next to him. The Taoist raised his eyebrows and continued, "Ordinary people have always only looked at the appearance, and it is difficult to touch the essence. How can the little brother be with mediocre people like this? I believe that my wise eyes have already known my hard work!"

The Taoist said this cleverly. The young master of Jinyi couldn't help but feel embarrassed, and nodded. The Taoist went down, "The 'Wan Dao Shenzong' was founded at the beginning of the world of cultivation. The ancestor Wandao Zhenren and Tianren geniuses gathered tens of thousands of disciples, each taking one, scattering branches and leaves. This is why there is a scene of the blooming of flowers in the world of cultivation today. Unfortunately... he never found the person who inherited his Wandao Dharma and ascended with hatred. I, the 3999th generation disciple of Wandao Zhenren, is a contemporary leader. Due to his talent, it is difficult to carry forward the ancestors' sect, and he is ashamed of his ancestors!"

Speaking of the sadness, the Taoist burst into tears, and the young master in Jinyi also looked sad. The Taoist said, "The sects are the source of all the ways. In recent years, major sects have wanted to help, but I refused. So what if there are few people, so what if it is down and shabby? Even if it disappears into the long history of the cultivation world, I will rather be insignificant than to be abusive. Our Taoist heart will always wait for one person. If someone is destined to find the Pearl of the Sea, it will soar into the sky!

All dharmas come to practice Taoism, and they are free and easy in the world.

One person has one method, and ten thousand people gather ten thousand ways.

One way can achieve the true meaning, and one way can lead to mystery.

The only one in heaven and earth is my only one."

The Taoist said it passionately, especially the saying "Only I am the top of the world", which is really like standing on the top of the world, overlooking the world, and despising all living beings, a great aura burst out. The young master of Jinyi admired the persistence of the Wandao Shenzong's rather than being too careless than being alone, and also felt lucky because he found such an opportunity and picked up the remains of the sea. He was filled with emotion and thoughts, and he had already planned to show his skills to let the Wandao Shenzong return to the peak scene.

The Taoist and the young man nodded, and all showed an undetectable smile. The young man in Jinyi had an average cultivation level and looked like he was not very experienced in the world. He was chosen as his prey by the two. Seeing that he was already immersed in his fantasy, he was dizzy and did not take action at this time.

The Taoist grabbed the man in Jinyi's hand, and the young man immediately prepared a contract document to prepare. They suddenly took action, as fast as lightning, and cooperated without interruption. It was obvious that the man in Jinyi had tried many times. When he realized that his palm had pressed on the contract. He felt a strange feeling spread throughout his body, as if he was electrocuted.

He suddenly pulled his hand back and looked at the two of them in surprise. Unexpectedly, the two of them ignored him and spoke to themselves.

"Master, take advantage of the fact that the leader's abdication contract has not yet taken effect, expel me from the sect quickly!" said the young man hurriedly.

"You evil disciple colluded with the 'Shenxing Sect' to deceive your master and destroy your ancestors. I will expel you from your master today!" The Taoist said righteously and made a decision.

The young man was overjoyed, but he saw a contract of master and apprentice floating in the air and burned out after a moment. Then, he ran away without looking back, like a bird in a cage regaining freedom, extremely happy.

The Taoist looked at the confused young master Jinyi, smiled slightly, with a kind face, "Little brother, from today, you will be the fourth thousandth generation leader of the 'Ten Thousand Dao Shenzong'. I hope you will carry forward the sect. I will go!" The Taoist took a few steps, remembered something, and turned around and said, "I forgot to say that I was cheating, contrary to the rules of the sect and violated the laws and regulations, and have been automatically expelled from the sect! Now you are the only one in the sect, so take advantage of the Thousand Sects to recruit more disciples!"

"We ordinary people, I'm so happy today..." The Taoist hummed a small song and walked away gradually, and the surroundings became noisy again.

The man in brocade retracted his astonishment expression, smashed his mouth, looked at the abdication contract in front of him, and burst out laughing.

"Qinxuan, what funny thing happened?" A man's voice came from behind.
