Chapter 1440: Asking the Lord of the Sect

cance of the entire Sea-Mountain Realm.Who could imagine, that a vast world carrying billions of lives would be nothing more than a low-level world that even the truly powerful wouldn't bother to look..."Asking Dao Heaven, within this Daotian belonging to the Asking Dao Sect, countless worlds are scattered."

Right in the center, there is a world, whose area and the radiance it emits are incredibly bright.

The layout of the entire Wendaoshan realm mirrors the grand scale of the Wendaozong. The rest of the world represents individual sub-sects, much like stars encircling the moon, all gathered around the largest world, which is where the main Wendaozong resides!

The sky above this world is veiled in layers of mist, like gossamer.

Amidst the mist, one could faintly make out pavilions, towers and halls, intricately carved with balustrades and jade railings, rising and falling in an endless procession.

...And in the area where these pavilions are close to the center, there is a vast square with a large expanse. On this square, countless white stone tablets stand!

These steles vary greatly in height, with the tallest reaching nearly a thousand zhang and the shortest barely exceeding a hundred.

And on one of the stelae, lay an old man with white hair and a youthful face, his eyes closed as if asleep. However, below the stele, there was a figure kneeling motionless.

"Ouch!"

After a long while, the old man let out a sigh and said, "That boy, what use is it for you to kneel here"

“The grand competition within the sect has existed since the day our sect was founded, and the rules have also been set long ago. No one can change them.”

Besides, I'm just a stone keeper. My words don't carry much weight!

Hearing the elder's words, the figure kneeling on the ground remained motionless, saying: "Elder An is too humble. If your words carry no weight, then who in our sect would have any authority"

Furthermore, what the disciples seek is not against the grand competition rules. They only hope that Elder An can postpone the time of the Shan Hai Wen Dao division competition as much as possible.

“Elder An, you and Gu Bulao have a good relationship. Even if you don't look at your disciple's face, you have to consider Gu Bulao's face. Now the Sect Master of Shan Hai Wen Dao Fen Zong is Gu Bulao's junior disciple!”

As he spoke, the figure finally raised its head, revealing the face of a middle-aged man. It was Dao Tianyou, the master of the Wenda Sect when Jiang Yun had first entered it!

Today, the place where Dao Tianyou resides is a sacred site of the Wendaizong. Each stone tablet erected here represents a branch of the Wendaizong.

These steles can rise or fall in rank depending on the overall strength of each branch sect, allowing the head sect to understand the general situation of each branch.

Back then, Dao Tianyou left the Shanhai Realm and passed on the position of Sect Master to Jiang Yun. Jiang Yun did not disappoint Dao Tianyou's expectations. In just a few years, he not only increased the height of the Shanhai Wenda Zong stone tablet from its original two hundred zhang to over four hundred zhang, but also gave birth to the light of seeking truth, which attracted the attention of the old guardian.

As it happened, the Dao God Temple was just about to go to the Shan Hai Realm to capture someone. Dao Tianyou guessed that it might be Jiang Yun.

In addition to the ancient and immortal's disappearance, the main sect even sent Dao Lian'er herself to the Shanhai Realm.

Although Da Lian'er ultimately failed to stop Jiang Yun from being taken away, after witnessing the battle between Jiang Yun and Yue Qing, Jiang Yun left an extremely deep impression on Da Lian'er.

And this is also one of the reasons why Shan Hai Jie Wen Dao Zong was able to be invited as the host sect for this grand competition within the sect!

It's a pity that although all the disciples of the Shanhaimen Sect have been brought to the main sect, and every disciple within the sect is indeed very hardworking, their overall strength is still relatively weak compared to other branches.

After all, the Sea of Mountains and Rivers is equivalent to a prison. It strictly prohibits the presence of cultivators at the Heaven's Favor realm.

Despite this, many of Zong's disciples later left the Shan Hai Realm under Jiang Yun's leadership, going to the vast Da Huang Realm across a sea. This lifted the restriction they faced.

But in just a few decades, the strongest among them is only at the Heavenly Blessing Realm!

And other questions, the strongest even had cultivators at the Dao Platform Realm, those slightly weaker were also at the Dao Nature Realm.

Therefore, no one in the sect was optimistic about Shanhai Asking Dao Sect in this grand internal competition.

However, Dao Tianyou doesn't think so!

He firmly believed that Ginger Cloud would definitely be able to return for the big competition.

And as long as Jiang Yun returns, then the Shan Hai Wen Dao Sect wouldn't dare say they could get first place, but at least they could guarantee they wouldn't be sent back to the Shan Hai Realm.

However, in a large-scale competition, the contestants will take turns to compete in order from weakest to strongest.

While the Shanhaixianzong isn't the weakest, its competition date is relatively early.

Da Tianyou was worried that Jiang Yun wouldn't be able to return in time, so he came here to beg this old man, hoping he could help postpone the competition time of the Shanhai Asking Dao Branch.

As for the elderly man responsible for guarding this stele forest, his name is An Chang.

Although he seemed to have no authority, in fact, he was one of the main elders and his cultivation had reached the Heavenly Human Five Tribulations Realm.

However, because of his indolent nature, he volunteered to come here and guard the stele forest.

Now Dao Tianyou has been kneeling here for a whole month, which is really unbearable for An Chang. With no other choice, he could only wave his hand and say: "Alright, alright, I'm afraid of you! I'll go tell the sect master, but if the sect master doesn't listen, then it's none of my business!"

Dao Tianyou immediately beamed and laughed, "Thank you, Elder An. I'm sure your words will have an effect."

After finishing his words, Tao Tianyou respectfully kowtowed several times towards An Chang before standing up and turning to leave.

With Dao Tianyou's departure, An Chang slowly opened his eyes here. He glanced at Dao Tianyou's back and shook his head, saying, "This kid is really persistent!"

But… Speaking of this, An Chang's gaze shifted to the seven among the many stone tablets before him.

These seven stone steles vary in height, but their only commonality is that they all emit a golden light, which is the light of seeking the Dao.

It is a symbol of both strength and spirit.

And finally, An Chang's gaze settled on the shortest stone monument among them, which reached a height of five hundred zhang.

"As for the disciples of the Mountain and Sea Daoist Sect's branch, I've seen them all. To be honest, their aptitude is average. The fact that their branch reached the fifth level is due to their unity and hard work, but it's also their limit."

But the light of inquiry never faded, and it grew brighter and brighter. This could only mean that their sect master was growing stronger and stronger.

Dao Lian'er also said that their sect master, Jiang Yun, is not simple.

"Well then, I'll say a few words for them, give them a chance. I want to see if this Ginger Cloud can surprise me!"

As soon as his words left his lips, An Chang stood up tall and vanished into thin air.

After leaving Beimulin, Dao Tianyou immediately arrived at the teleportation array within the main sect and stepped inside. He was sent to another world!

Before your eyes lies a mountain range, within which are several monasteries. This is where the disciples of the Shan Hai Wen Dao Zong reside.

Although they were brought to the main sect, their identity and strength were still not enough to truly enter the world where the main sect resided, so they were arranged here.

"Master!"

As Dao Tianyou appeared in the hall, a group of people immediately stood up.

Although Dao Tianyou is no longer the sect master, when the disciples of the Shanhai Realm Asking Dao Sect see Dao Tianyou, they are all incredibly excited.

After all, before the great calamity of the Shanhai arrived, Daotian You led by example in the battle between the Wenda Sect and the Senluo Ghost Prison. His act of sacrificing himself earned him the respect of everyone who still considered him the Sect Master.

Dao Tianyou, with a smile on his face and in high spirits, was just about to share the good news that Elder An had agreed to help him. However, he suddenly noticed that everyone's faces were filled with indignation. This made him instantly retract his smile and furrow his brows as he asked, "What happened"
