The candle dragon is a spiritual beast in ancient legends. It is thousands of miles long and has a red body. It is the god of Zhongshan Mountain.

The reason why Zhulong Hall is named after Zhulong is because their sect is built on the spiritual vein of Zhongshan Mountain.

Although there are no dragons on Zhongshan today.

In order to seize the Zhongshan Spiritual Vein, Wang Puxian, the first founder of the Zhulong Palace, set fire to the sky, and finally occupied this blessed land with force.

For thousands of years since then, Zhulong Palace has been regarded as the Dharma Cultivation Sect second only to Taiqing Palace, and is also one of the top sects in the world that is most likely to be promoted to Dao Sect.

But how can it be so easy to become a Taoist?

Let’s talk about resistance first. So far, each of the six cultivators in the world has its own Taoist sect.

If Fa Xiu wants to come up with a second Taoist school, how can the other five Taoist sects be willing?

Doesn’t this make the originally equal system of six cultivations derive the statement that Dharma cultivation is the strongest?

Dharma cultivation, physical cultivation, and sword cultivation, as the three leading sects in the world of cultivation, are already much stronger than the other three cultivations.

Among the Yusan family, physical cultivation has always been deeply discriminated against by other families because of its down-to-earth spirit.

After all, other families are all elegant in feathers, very chic, and look great. Your family is just like Wu Fu. If you don't discriminate, who do you discriminate against?

The sword cultivator has a maverick personality and has no intention of competing for fame. Others are unwilling to mess with these killers. Therefore, the sword cultivator's reputation is not low, but it is not the highest.

After thinking about it this way, the Faxiu tradition has the loudest voice.

A big tree attracts the wind. Everyone already dislikes your Dharma practice, but you still want to come up with a second Taoist sect?

Strongly disagree.

What is more realistic is that not only the other five Taoist sects are not willing to see the promotion of Zhulong Palace, but actually Taiqing Palace, which is a Buddhist cultivator, is also not happy.

Because, if a second Dharma Cultivation Sect appears in the world, it will undoubtedly greatly shake their status as the Holy Land of Dharma Cultivation in Taiqing Palace.

In addition, Taiqing Palace specializes in thunder magic, and Zhulong Palace specializes in fire magic.

Because the Taiqing Palace was so powerful, it was always said that Lei Fa was the most respected.

If the Zhulong Palace also becomes a Taoist sect, then will the thunder method or the fire method come first?

Can't tell.

Then don't say it.

For the Taiqing Palace, promotion to the Zhulong Palace would not only dilute their interests and reputation, but also bring about orthodoxy disputes. How could they be willing to do so?

The other thing is the geographical differences.

There are a total of seven domains in the human race, and each of the seven Taoist sects already occupies one domain. What will happen if you, Zhulong Palace, become a Taoist sect?

There is no room for two tigers in one mountain, so who is willing to share the territory with you? If the territory is divided, who will be the boss and who will be the second?

Even for this possible regional dispute, the seven Taoist sects cannot turn a blind eye to the Zhulong Palace.

In this way, although the Taoist sects of various Taoist sects will not come to kill people, they will inevitably exclude them intentionally or unintentionally.

Patriarch Wang Puxian had been fighting for the promotion of Taoism in Zhulong Palace during his lifetime, and he even cultivated to the realm of Taoism.

The Taoist realm actually belongs to the nine realms of monks.

However, the Taoist Master is transcendent from the ordinary Nine Realm monks.

The main difference is that the Taoist master must be a monk in the ninth realm, but a monk in the ninth realm is not necessarily a Taoist master.

In layman's terms, Taoist masters are to Dharma cultivators what "Sword Immortals" are to sword cultivators, and "Spirit Masters" are to spiritual cultivators...

It's a pity that even so, Zhulong Palace failed to become a Taoist sect in the end.

After the death of the founder Wang Puxian, the Zhulong Palace has never produced a new Taoist-level monk, so it is naturally impossible to plan for the name of the Taoist sect.

Because a Fa Xiu sect with a "Tao master" may not necessarily become a Dao sect, but a Fa Xiu Dao sect must have a "Tao master".

This is a hard condition.

Passed down to this generation, there are now three great ancestors of Zhulong Palace.

One of them is named Wang Daode.

Patriarch Wang Daode is the most dissatisfied among the three contemporary great patriarchs of Zhulong Palace. He has neither great achievements nor earth-shattering cultivation.

Compared with the reputation of the other two patriarchs, this patriarch Wang Daode is like a "homebody", staying in the Zhulong Hall all day long.

Coupled with his slovenly appearance, which resembled that of an old farmer, and who only took care of the citrus trees in the back mountain all day long, many disciples of the Zhulong Hall resented him and did not quite approve of this patriarch.

In addition, Patriarch Wang Daode had no children or disciples in his life.

Therefore, when faced with the rumors from the disciples of the sect, there was no one who could speak for him, and his reputation in the Zhulong Palace became even lower.

The only thing that the disciples of Zhulong Palace don't understand is why every time the sect holds a grand annual meeting, the sloppy Patriarch Wang Daode sits on the main seat, while the other two famous Patriarchs take the second place?

Could it be that this patriarch is a hidden master?

Later, a well-informed disciple found the answer to this question.

This is because this Patriarch Wang Daode is the only son of Wang Puxian, the first sect leader of the Zhulong Palace. At the same time, he is also the highest-ranking person in the Zhulong Palace today.

However, this news, instead of making the disciples of the sect change their views on the Patriarch Wang Daode, actually made them look down on him even more.

Patriarch Wang Puxian lived a wise life. He dedicated his whole life to the Zhulong Temple and was promoted to Taoism. His cultivation was so great that he was almost a human being. Why did he have to be the father of a tiger and the son of a dog?

In their view, Wang Daode was the only stain on Patriarch Wang Puxian.

It was not until recent years, when he was in his twilight years, that the most senior Patriarch of the Zhulong Palace suddenly accepted a monk from a remote state in the Southern Region as his disciple.

It was also because of the strong opinions towards the Patriarch Wang Daode that everyone did not like the disciples that the Patriarch accepted.

Even this monk named Mo Yan, because he is Wang De's direct disciple, is one of the highest in the Zhulong Palace.

…………

Zhulong Hall, back mountain.

The wind is high and the air is refreshing.

Mo Yan, dressed in black, went up the mountain.

There is an old man in green clothes on the mountain, with his sleeves rolled up, carefully tending the citrus trees that have been taken care of for who knows how many years.

But I don’t know why, even after many years of careful care, these citrus trees not only do not have lush branches and leaves, nor do they bear fruit, but the branches and leaves even become more and more shriveled.

"Master." Mo Yan said respectfully to the old Taoist.

The old man seemed to be deaf, and without turning his head, he was still carefully examining the lines of the citrus leaves leaf by leaf.

"Master," Mo Yan called again. Seeing that the old Taoist still didn't answer, he didn't take it seriously and said to himself: "I have understood the true meaning of the origin of the fire attribute and am ready to advance to Void Refining, so I came to talk to Master.

Hey, it’s not like I can’t visit Master during these days.”

"I have been alone in this mountain for thousands of years. I am already used to it. Why do you need to come and see it? It would be best if you don't come." The old Taoist turned his back to Mo Yan and faced the apprentice he had taken in in his later years.

He shook his head and said indifferently: "Did you leave the clan a few days ago?"

"Well," Mo Yan didn't hide anything, "I went out with a friend."

"Is that the one named Lu Qingshan?" The old Taoist was somewhat impressed.

Mo Yan hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "Yes."

"How did you meet him? How is your relationship with him?"

Mo Yan paused and composed some words, telling the whole story about what happened on Jiaolong Island back then.

After understanding the bond between his apprentice and the sword cultivator named Lu Qingshan, the old Taoist named Wang Daode could not help but close his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.

"Okay, I understand," in the end, the sloppy old Taoist nodded and affirmed, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally: "This guy has great talent and great righteousness. You can get in touch with him more."

Mo Yan was silent for a moment and did not answer.

"If you have nothing to do, just step back." The sloppy old man said leisurely.

"Then disciple, please leave first." Mo Yan immediately bowed his hands and said goodbye.

"Let's go." The sloppy old man continued to look at his citrus trees.

Mo Yan didn't hesitate and turned around to go down the mountain.

…

As soon as Mo Yan turned around and left, another figure floated down.

The visitor is also wearing fluttering green clothes, but compared to the old Taoist's slovenliness, he looks like a god.

This man appeared next to Wang Daode and shouted to the slovenly old man: "Uncle."

If others saw this scene, they would definitely be in disbelief.

Because this immortal Taoist priest who calls the sloppy old Taoist uncle is none other than Patriarch Zhao Yuding, one of the three great patriarchs of Zhulong Palace.

Zhao Yuding stared at Mo Yan's retreating back seriously, thought for a while, and finally asked slowly: "Uncle, you said that the fate of our Zhulong Palace in the next five thousand years depends on this man who was born in a small island in the southern region.

Are you really sure that this young cultivator is making such a desperate move?"

In the secular world, it is very common for a family's destiny to be tied to one son. Zhao Yuding finally did not believe it, or in other words, he did not believe it at all.
