Chapter 542: Let's see who gets anxious first, Triple-faced Spy

Chapter 542: Let's see who gets impatient first, a triple agent.
The sect's paradise is named 'Tianyuan Paradise' and is managed by four Supreme Elders, supported by thirty-one elders in seclusion. These elders have all made significant contributions to the sect and hold the fifth rank, while the Supreme Elders hold the fourth rank. Among them, two Supreme Elders have previously served as Elders of the Sixth Hall.
In the water pool, Jiang Li was enveloped in a radiant glow, resembling a sun.
水潭边，公孙青玥正在将洞天福地中的情况娓娓道来，让姜离对宗门的底蕴有了大概的了解。
As time shifted from night to day, the resonance between the Zhe Whip and the Divine Farmer's Cauldron remained unabated. Jiang Li immersed himself in the comprehension of the harmonious fusion of the three elements, further enhancing his own foundation and cultivation level.
However, his return to the sect this time was for important matters, even if he had to allocate some of his focus to understand the situation, even while comprehending two dao artifacts.
@"Elder Gongsun Taicheng, the master of Elder Tianji, is also the former Elder Tianji. Elder Tianji's attitude is unclear, most likely because of this old guy. There are also two other old guys, Gongsun Shou and Cao Yixuan. The former was promoted to fourth grade with the help of the sect master, and is a staunch supporter of the sect master. The latter has grievances with the sect master and is currently the sect master's right-hand man."
"These three old folks are the left and right hand of the sect master who control the heavenly realms and blessed lands."
Sun Qingyue's words carry a strong subjective opinion, fully displaying the narrow-mindedness typical of the Tianxuan lineage. Even if they are of higher generation than herself, she still has to address them as "old folks," leaving no room for compromise.
"It seems that the master also had a difficult time back then," Jiang Li replied.
Since the sect leader has taken over, it is inevitable for him to manage manpower, especially since he shares the same surname as Gong Sun. This makes him fully qualified to recruit people from the Gong Sun family.
Even as the Patriarch of the family, Tianxuan cannot unite all the clansmen, ultimately leading to the rise of the Sect Leader.
"The other elder, I assume, is the former elder of Tianxuan from the previous generation?" Jiang Li continued, "Among the six elders, only my master and Elder Tianji's achievements have nothing to do with the Seven Stars."
The Taoist essence contained by Elder Tianji is that of Marshal Yuan Shuai, not that of the Star Lord Lücun. This is obviously because Gongsun Taicheng has not yet died, and the Taoist essence of Lücun has its rightful owner.
Similarly, the reason for Tianxuan accommodating the Taoist essence of the Star Lord Taiyin may be the same.
"Not bad," Gong Sun Qingyue nodded, "but that person is not the master. You should know that the master was supposed to inherit the position of the head, but due to Gong Sun Qiyi's sudden rise in power, he stepped down and became an elder. Moreover, that Senior Uncle's fourth-grade Daoist fruit is related to the legendary Leizu, and has nothing to do with the Seven Stars."
“嫘祖，黄帝之妻，原来是位女长老，她也是公孙家的人？”姜离问道，“宗门之内，出身公孙家的有几位？”
他不说还好，一说，公孙青玥的脸上突然浮现淡淡的冷意。
"Yes. But I'm afraid she is not called Gong Sun Yuanxi."
Gong Sun Qingyue calmly said, "She and Gong Sun Tai Cheng were the youngest among the previous generation of elders. After the other elders either passed away or grew old, she stepped down from the position of the Elder of the Sixth Hall. However, she still hasn't exhausted her lifespan and hasn't reached the point where she can't withstand the troubled world outside."
"In all these years, Master rarely left the sect, thanks to her for acting on behalf of Master."
Being struck by Gongsun Qingyue's words so suddenly, Jiang Li could only pretend not to have heard and choose not to respond, while feeling a sense of emotion in her heart.
It is said that women's talent for catching infidelity rivals that of detectives. Today, Jiang Li truly experienced it. Their ability to suspect everything is even more suspecting than detectives.
'I wonder when I will be able to truly hold two bowls of rice.'
This thought flashed through Jiang Li's mind, and she keenly grasped the key information. "Can Gong Sun Tai Cheng also move around outside?" Translated: Yes, Gong Sun Tai Cheng can also move around outside.
It depends, it doesn't seem like it.
If Gongsun Tai could still go out, why would he hide like a coward last night?
In response to this, Gongsun Qingyue just chuckled, "With his profound cultivation, he actually has at least two hundred years of lifespan left, so he hasn't aged to the extent of needing to seek seclusion through hidden realms, provided he hasn't suffered serious injuries that would be corroded by evil energy."
"This person initially refused to step down and wanted to continue serving as the elder of Tianji for another hundred years. Master felt that it would be too strenuous for the senior generation, so he reluctantly took action and sent him to a secluded paradise to enjoy a peaceful life."
It's truly "respectful" to the elders.
Jiang Li estimated that Gong Suntaicheng's injury alone would reduce his lifespan by at least a hundred years, otherwise he wouldn't need to seclude himself.
As for the other two, their cultivation is not as good as Gong Suntaicheng, and their lifespan may be longer than his at present, but not by much. These three are all living on borrowed time.
So, they are waiting for me to enter the Immortal Realm."
Jiang Li concluded.
The three Elders, all at the fourth rank, are waiting for Jiang Li in the Immortal Realm. In order to obtain the "Tomb-shaping Technique" and retrieve the five weapons of the War God, Jiang Li must make a trip to the Immortal Realm.
"We'll see how desperate they are now," Jiang Li said.
Even if they enter the cave and become part of the blessed land, the three of them still hesitate to harm Jiang Li. In the end, they have to rely on trapping him.
With the red whip in Jiang Li's possession now, his strength has not only improved rapidly, but also changes on a daily basis. If they want to drag out the time, it will be advantageous for Jiang Li.
However, the situation in Liangzhou is constantly changing, and it is unknown when the sect leader will return.
The elder from the top is anxious, and Jiang Li is also anxious, but he cannot be more anxious than the other party.
Whoever rushes first will lose.
Therefore---
"Wait."
Jiang Li said, continuing to immerse himself in the changes of elemental energy.
His divine consciousness merged with the transformation of Daoist techniques, penetrating into his physical body along with the true qi, reaching a subtle and refined state.
Gradually, Jiang Li seemed to see countless particles, each resembling a spherical object, constantly expanding and shrinking.
At the same time, he also observed the subtle changes in qi and sensed the transformation of every bit of true qi.
Since that's the case..."
Jiang Li immersed his spiritual consciousness into the lower dantian, once again dividing and refining the demonic qi, delving into the subtle changes of yin and yang.
Having obtained the demonic qi for so long, Jiang Li had yet to truly comprehend the cultivation method of the Nine Heavens Demonic Qi Technique. He could only rely on his pre-heaven qi to cultivate the demonic qi and couldn't achieve the means of increasing it through cultivation.
The true essence of the Nine Heaven's Demon Subduing Technique lies in absorbing the impure and malicious qi and transforming it into spiritual energy, everything else is secondary.
And now, Jiang Li is determined to explore this fundamental aspect.
To this end, he withdrew his scattered thoughts and began to deduce with all his might.
The surroundings by the pond immediately quieted down, only the sound of water remained.
Gongsun Qingyue once again took out the book without words and examined the bird-shaped seal script on it.
Long time passed, she sighed softly: "The integration of the Dao Fruit is nearing completion, it seems..."
It's too fast. Since reuniting with Tianxuan, the progress of the Dao Fruit fusion has accelerated by three points compared to before.
This made Gong Sun Qingyue have the worst guess, perhaps the contact between these two people has reached the most intimate level.
Thinking of this, Gong Sun Qingyue felt like she had also become a part of the scenery here, her head blending in with all sorts of vegetation. Translated: "
'Xiao Tian must be watched more closely.'
'Huh? Where's Xiao Tian?'
Gongsun Qingyue noticed that the scarlet little dog that had been following her was nowhere to be found.
……
……
'Woof——'
The scarlet little dog lying in a patch of grass muttered in its sleep, sound asleep.
In its dream, a beam of moonlight appeared, projecting a graceful figure.
Howling Heaven crouched before this figure, projecting everything it had seen and heard during this period into the dream.
"I've been discovered after all..."
A faint sigh resounded.
