The Great Jin Royal Palace Envoy
***
The perfect Zhu Qing and Liu Yiyun looked at He Qingrou with concern.
For the current Eternal Dawn Sect, it was too important to find their “ Ancestor” grandfather.
This was enough to affect the survival of the entire sect.
"Master Sect, Master, don't worry." He Qingrou smiled faintly and said, "Murid has verified that Master Supervisor Cui who rules Fengzhou is the Ancestral Master Teacher, our Ancestral Grandfather"
Actually, under normal circumstances, He Qingrou, Zhu Qing Perfected, Liu Yiyun, and the other disciples of the Eternal Dawn Sect should have summoned Cui Heng as the Grandmaster Ancestor.
However, their Ancestral Master, Ancestral Master Hengxia, who had decided how to summon him. They also obtained Cui Heng's approval, so they called him that.
"Throughout?!"
“This is really our Ancestral Grandfather ?!”
Zhu Qing and the perfect Liu Yiyun were overjoyed upon hearing this. They could no longer maintain their composure and could not help but laugh.
Although they were already mentally prepared when they discovered the name "Cui Heng" was related to the person who could use the "Flying Cloud Light Sword" and even trigger the Immortal sword phenomenon, which was very powerful, they still felt that it was a little unreal now that they obtained a definite answer.
The Eternal Dawn Sect had waited for this Ancestral Grandfather for too long.
Both of them were second generation disciples of the Eternal Dawn Sect, the great disciple of Jiang Qiqi. Unlike third generation disciples like He Qingrou, they were actually cultivating beside Jiang Qiqi.
They both knew more about this Ancestral Grandfather than He Qingrou.
A hundred years ago, before the war happened, when Jiang Qiqi was still in the Eternal Dawn Sect, Zhu Qing and the Enhanced Liu Yiyun, who were still in the Inner World realm, were still in the, have been ordered to leave the mountain to search “Cui Heng ”.
This was an order given by their Master, but both of them knew very well that this must be the order of the Patriarch.
Moreover, this quest had begun ever since the Ancestral Master destroyed the Cangxuan Sect and established the Eternal Dawn Sect at Mount Cangcheng.
In the beginning, only the first generation disciples of the Eternal Dawn Sect, who were also the personal disciples of Jiang Qiqi were involved. Then, it was transformed into a second generation disciple like Zhu Qing Perfected and Liu Yiyun.
Even though they had gotten nothing for a long time, it was clear that the Ancestral Master wanted to continue this tradition.
However, after the battle a hundred years ago, the Ancestral Master disappeared and the Eternal Dawn Sect sealed the mountain. The disciples were no longer free to leave the mountain, so the mission to find "Cui Heng" was naturally left uncertain.
Unexpectedly, at the end of the 100-year period, when the Eternal Dawn Sect would face a life and death crisis, they actually found the Ancestral Grandfather.
“It's true, it must be Ancestral Grandpa.” He Qingrou said with certainty, “The great teacher even displayed the Sword Light Flying Clouds style for us. It was much more perfect, even more perfect than the description of the sect's secret manual.
The Ancestral Grandfather also knew the secular name of Patriarch Hengxia. Coupled with the Purple Cloud Sword phenomenon, it was enough to prove that Master Supervisor Cui is our Ancestral Grandfather.”
"Good! That's cool!" The perfect Zhu Qing was extremely excited. A smile bloomed on her pretty face as she nodded and said, “Come, let's go back to the mountain first. Let's talk in the Ancestral Hall.”
"Yes, Sect Master." He Qingrou hurriedly bowed and followed.
"Yingying, come along too." Liu Yiyun called Chen Ying, who was confused.
"Aah?" Chen Ying's eyes twinkled upon hearing that. He immediately nodded and said, “Alright! Thank you, Big Master!”
The Ancestral Hall was originally named Hengxia Palace. It was there that the Ancestral Master, Perfected Hengxia, met his students.
Then, when the Ancestral Master disappeared, the place was converted into the Ancestral Hall. It is still used to discuss important matters.
No fourth generation disciples had ever entered the Ancestral Hall.
He should be the first.
….
Due to the sealing of the mountain, not many people in the Eternal Dawn Sect remained.
Many of the palaces that were thought to live in the past were now deserted.
Zhu Qing and the refined Liu Yiyun brought He Qingrou and Chen Ying back to the sect. Along the way, they only met three or four disciples.
Moreover, they were all third generation disciples of the same generation as He Qingrou.
When they saw the excited expressions of Zhu Qing and Perfect Liu Yiyun, they were a little curious and unwilling to gently discuss.
“Master Sect and Master Liu look very happy. Is there anything encouraging?”
“What good news can there be? Now that the 100-year deadline is approaching, we don't even know if we can survive this time.”
“Do not talk nonsense. A hundred years ago, our Ancestral Master made a pact with Gods and Upper World Buddhas.”
“Could there be treasure at the foot of the mountain? I saw Junior Sister He rushing down the mountain earlier, but she came back in just a few days.
“I hope this is good news. Sighs…"
These students are generally not very optimistic and have a negative attitude.
Actually, this is not surprising.
In the past few decades, there were many disciples from the first generation who had yet to cultivate to the God Realm or even second generation disciples who had died.
However, due to the sealing of the mountain, only a dozen new disciples had been recruited in the past hundred years.
The old one had already left, but too few newcomers had entered.
This caused the number of people in the Eternal Dawn Sect to decrease.
Many students feel more depressed. They can't see any hope for the future.
Currently, there were less than 40 disciples in the entire Eternal Dawn Sect.
Half of them were third generation disciples.
Most of them were disciples of the Eternal Dawn Sect before they sealed the mountain. There was also a small number of them who were brought in after the mountain was sealed.
For example, He Qingrou.
Many of the older third generation disciples were already over 100 years old.
If they were unable to reach the God Realm…
Within a few decades, this group of third generation disciples would also die from old age.
At that time, some second generation disciples who had reached the God Realm would also die.
In such an environment, who could maintain a positive mood all the time?
In all aspects, removing the seal on the mountain was already the top priority of the Eternal Dawn Sect at the moment.
….
The furniture in the Ancestral Hall was very simple.
A long table and some chairs, plus some tables, candle holders, and other items are all here.
Not much decoration.
After the four of them arrived, Zhu Qing and Perfect Liu Yiyun were in no hurry to ask about Cui Heng.
Instead, they asked the disciples outside to invite the other two Sword Masters.
Jiang Qiqi had left behind five Immortal swords before she disappeared. Any Sword Owner who had obtained the acknowledgement of the Immortal Sword could be said to be the absolute core of the Eternal Dawn Sect.
Soon, two young women arrived at the Ancestral Hall.
One of them carried a long sword on his back, and the other carried a long sword hanging on his waist.
They were the Sword Masters of the Autumn Cloud and Sunset swords. They were both disciples of the He Qingrou generation.
The perfect Zhu Qing was the Red Sun Sword Master, whereas Liu Yiyun was the White Rainbow Sword Master.
"Greetings, Sect Master, Master Liu."
Sword Master Autumn Cloud and Sword Master Setting Sun bowed respectfully. At the same time, they looked at He Qingrou and Chen Ying and felt perplexed.
Could something big have happened?
Did the Gods and Buddhas of the Upper World descend again?
Thinking of this, the two of them immediately tensed up, ready to fight at any moment.
"No need to be nervous." The perfect Zhu Qing smiled faintly and said, “This is good news. Qingrou, tell everyone about Grandpa Ancestor.”
Ancestor Grandfather?!
Sword Master Autumn Cloud and Sword Master Setting Sun were stunned. What kind of a name is this?
Wasn't the Hengxia Ancestral Master a peerless woman?
How the…
“The Ancestor's grandfather was the Master of the Hengxia Ancestral Master.” He Qingrou recounted what Chen Ying had seen and heard in Lu County and his experience in Changfeng Prefecture.
This of course included Cui Heng's promise to allow the Eternal Dawn Sect to unseal the mountain, as well as his promise to bring the Eternal Dawn Sect to kill when the Gods and Upper World Buddhas descended.
Zhu Qing was perfect and Liu Yiyun did not know this before.
Now that they heard these two things, they instantly became excited.
Reopen the mountain gate!
The Eternal Dawn Sect will be saved!
Moreover, with the Ancestral Grandfather present, there was no need to worry about Gods and Buddhas descending from the Upper World!
The Autumn Cloud Sword Master and the Sunset Sword Master were crying out in excitement.
They had deep feelings towards the Eternal Dawn Sect, but over the years, they could only watch helplessly as the Eternal Dawn Sect declined by the day.
Now, the Eternal Dawn Sect finally had the possibility to rise again.
"I will report this matter to Master and Martial Aunt Zheng." The perfect Zhu Qing made a decision and said in a low voice, "Yiyun, tell the disciples of the Eternal Dawn Sect that the sect will be reopened."
There were only around 40 people in the Eternal Dawn Sect at the moment. There was no need to spend a lot of manpower to spread the word about the reopening of the sect.
The Master and Martial Aunt Zheng he mentioned were the only two first-generation disciples of the Eternal Dawn Sect, who were also Jiang Qiqi's personal disciples.
"Yes well!" Liu Yi Yun nodded.
“Qingrou, you and Yingying will arrange everyone to get ready later.” Zhu Qing perfectly arranges the mission for He Qingrou and Chen Ying.” When Master and Martial Aunt Yu Zheng and I come, we will go to Changfeng Prefecture to pay our respects to Grandfather Ancestor.
"Yes!" He Qingrou and Chen Ying said in unison.
They're very excited.
It had been too long since the Eternal Dawn Sect had such a lively atmosphere.
This feeling is so good!
And all of this was because they had found the Ancestral Grandfather.
The Eternal Dawn Sect is no longer without a backbone!
….
While the Eternal Dawn Sect prepared to come to Changfeng Prefecture to visit Cui Heng.
An urgent letter was sent to Cui Heng's office.
Liu Litao personally sent it.
“Master Supervisor, this is a letter from Chen Tong. It was sent immediately. That may be something that needs your immediate attention, ” Liu Litao said.
"Oh?" Cui Heng took the letter and opened it. “I remember he had to promote a new decision with Huishi in Yunshu County. This is really from Yunshu County.”
“Yunshu County is the northern border fortress of Jin Agung, close to the prairie barbarians. Did something happen?” Liu Litao immediately thought of some possibilities.
“Grassland barbarians gathered about 50,000 cavalry from various tribes and planned to attack Yunshu County in the south. When they sent the letter, they were already at the city gate.” Cui Heng slapped the letter on the table and sneered, "These barbarians are so brave!"
Going south to plunder was the same as killing Fengzhou's people. This is considered to undermine the new policy plan that he intends to implement. It would also add an obstacle in its cultivation to gather the seven emotions of all living beings.
"The barbarians are hateful!" Liu Litao nodded and said, “The barbarians of the prairie are not farming. They live nomadism and kill. Every year in late autumn, they would go south to plunder and slaughter people. They deserve to die!”
“Yes, Chen Tong asked me to increase the number of troops he could recruit and lead 30,000 troops to attack the barbarians in the north.” Cui Heng pondered for a moment before nodding and saying, “This matter is worthy and approved. If this battle falls to an unfortunate position, I will personally take action.”
“Yes, Mr. Supervisor. I will write a letter to reply now. Liu Litao bowed respectfully, then said, “I still have something to report. The Supreme Jin Royal Court has sent an envoy to meet you."
