Ignoring Tianzun's question, Xu Qi'an descended from the sky and landed beside Li Miaozhen.
He first checked on Flying Swallow Heroine's condition. Her injuries were not serious. Even for a Taoist with a weak physique, she would only need ten days to half a month to recover.
What was worse was the condition of Li Miaozhen's Primordial Spirit. It was like an ordinary person who was stabbed by a knife without stopping the bleeding, and his life would be drained away along with the blood.
Li Miaozhen's Primordial Spirit was in such a situation. It was as weak as a candle in the wind, and it could be extinguished at any time.
"It's only two whips. If you get hit by five whips, not even the gods can save you …" Xu Qi'an mumbled. He could only complain because Li Miaozhen was not in danger.
Her body contained a strong medicinal effect that nourished her weak Primordial Spirit. It was like a clear spring that gushed out of a cracked and dry ground.
"What are you looking at!"
Li Miaozhen did not even have the strength to sit up, but her tone was still fierce. She looked at him with her eyes unfocused and looked away.
"What a disgrace."
"Too proud …" Xu Qi'an laughed and joked.
"It's not the first time you've embarrassed yourself in front of me. Look, even Azuro is laughing."
He was referring to the death of the Second, Fourth, and Seventh Societies.
Azuro did not laugh, but Li Miaozhen was so angry that she laughed. She wanted to punch Xu Qi'an, but she was too weak. She felt like she could die at any time.
"What are you going to do?"
Li Miaozhen's beautiful eyes were half-closed, and she said weakly.
She was afraid that Xu Qi'an would be hot-headed and start a massacre in Tenzō. She did not want to see that.
Xu Qi'an took off his outer robe and covered her. He then stood up and walked toward Tianzun Palace.
"Do you remember what I said to you in Jianzhou?"
His voice came from afar.
What words? Li Miaozhen was lying on the high platform. The blue sky was a little dazzling. She seemed to think of something, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly.
Li Miaozhen tried her best to open her eyes. She twisted her neck and watched the figure enter Tianzun Hall.
What he said that day in the Sword Province echoed in his ears.
If you are afraid of rumors and slander, afraid of the opinions of your fellow sect members and disciples, then I can take you away.
A joke!
The prophecy had come true!
…
The disciples of Tenzō, as well as Luo Yuheng, Jinlian and Azuro, the three Transcendents, watched as Xu Qi'an entered the Tianzun Palace. The surroundings were silent, no one spoke.
The Elders, Bingyi Progenitor and Taoist Priest Xuan Cheng maintained their usual indifference. However, the ordinary disciples were on tenterhooks.
At this moment, their thoughts were not "It's best to let Tianzun teach these rude people a lesson" or "Those who dare to behave atrociously in Tianzun Palace must pay the price". Instead, they were "What if they fight?" or "Run! That's a First-Grade Warrior!"
The disciples of Tenzō, including the Elders, did not expect that Xu Qi'an would make such a big fuss over Li Miaozhen. Moreover, the Taoist Master of the Earth Sect, Jinlian, actually dared to come and threaten them.
The Saintess had left the mountain to travel for three years. How could she, a mere Fourth-Grade Warrior, have made such deep connections?
Although Tenzō had long known that the Saints and Saintesses were acquainted with Jinlian of the Earth Sect and Xu Qi'an, they were willing to interfere in Tenzō's internal affairs for Li Miaozhen and offend Tenzō. This was a completely different concept.
Stepping into the grand and majestic hall, Xu Qi'an looked around casually. Then, he turned his gaze to the figure sitting cross-legged on the Lotus Throne high up on the throne.
His hair was white, and his head was drooping. He looked like a sleepy old man. Behind his head, a wheel of four colors rotated.
In Xu Qi'an's eyes, the Tianzun on the Lotus Throne was like a projection from another world.
"Out of Samsara and out of the Five Elements …" This thought came to Xu Qi'an's mind. "You seem to be on the verge of becoming one with the Heavenly Dao."
"The struggle between Heaven and Man can help me stabilize my human nature."
Tianzun's loud voice echoed in the hall. It seemed to come from all directions, and the source of the voice could not be found.
He did not ask Xu Qi'an why he knew about Tenzō's secret. He did not know whether it was because he had expected it, or because he had perfectly controlled his emotions.
Curiosity was also one of the emotions of living beings.
"Why can the struggle between Heaven and Man help you restore your human nature and help Renzong pass the Heavenly Tribulation?" Xu Qi'an asked the question that had been buried in his heart for a long time.
"Why should I tell you!"
Tianzun asked.
His rhetorical question was not mixed with his personal feelings, nor was it a quarrel. It was purely a question.
"As a deal, you can also ask me a question." Xu Qi'an answered.
"Fair!"
Tianzun lowered his head and his voice echoed, "Renzong and Tenzō have completely different mental cultivation methods, but they can complement each other. The struggle between Heaven and Man is their salvation."
Tianzun's answer was like a programmed answer. There was no detailed explanation, and it was straightforward.
Renzong's mental cultivation method entangled with the Hellfire, and the seven emotions and six desires would wear down the Taoist foundation, while Tenzō's mental cultivation method was the Taishang Wang Qing and the Oneness of Heaven and Man. "So that's how it is …" Xu Qi'an suddenly understood.
It was easy to understand now. Renzong's Hellfire might be a good remedy for Tenzō. It could help Tianzun recover part of his human nature, and fight fire with fire. Similarly, Tenzō's Taishang Wang Qing could also calm Renzong's Hellfire.
"Complement each other by fighting to the death?" Xu Qi'an asked.
"Steal each other's Spiritual Power!" Tianzun answered.
Xu Qi 'an originally wanted to ask why the previous Human and Heaven Sects' Dao Masters did not use the dual cultivation method to complement each other. However, on second thought, he remembered that the previous generation's Human Sect Dao Master was a man.
The previous Tenzō might not be opposite of each other. They might be male or female.
Besides, the Dual Cultivation Method of the ancient Daoist sects had been lost for a long time. When Luo Yuheng agreed to do Dual Cultivation with him, it was not only because he had good luck, but also because he had mastered this secret method.
Finally, in the process of Dual Cultivation with Luo Yuheng, although both of them had improved their Dharma Spells and Qi Ji, it was good luck that extinguished the Hellfire. It was a process where there was no return. The complementation between Heaven and Man might not be suitable for Dual Cultivation.
"So, both of them are usually injured, or one of them is dead and the other is injured?"
"When both of them are injured, they are evenly matched, and both of them gain something. It is a good ending." Tianzun answered.
Xu Qi'an nodded and asked,
"Why doesn't the Earth Sect participate? Is the merit of the Earth Sect useless to the Heaven and Man Sects? "
"The merit will make me immortalize directly and integrate into the Way of Heaven. The merit will make Renzong be entangled with karma, and there is a risk that he will become a devil and die. "Tianzun replied emotionlessly.
"The Earth Sect is really unloved …" Xu Qi 'an complained in his heart. Then, he changed the topic.
Then he said, "It's your turn to ask."
"I have no questions!" Tianzun's voice was loud and cold.
So, when you said 'fair' just now, did you really think it was fair? You didn't have any questions for me? Xu Qi'an slowly exhaled. When he was about to speak, he heard Tianzun add,
"You can put it on my tab first!"
"Should I write a contract …" Xu Qi'an nodded.
"Okay!
"I have another question. What do you think of the Taoist Master?"
The Taoist Master was silent for a while, and then he said in a loud voice,
"He is a pitiful man. The three methods he tried in his later years all failed."
"What was he trying?" Xu Qi'an asked.
"I don't know." Tianzun replied.
After a moment of silence, Xu Qi 'an suddenly thought of something and said, "
"The Taoist Master's Tenzō clone integrated into the Way of Heaven, and the Earth Sect clone cultivated himself into the Earth Book. Only the Tenzō Taoist Master and the Earth Sect Taoist Master know these secrets. Then why doesn't the Renzong Taoist Master know what happened to the Renzong clone of Tianzun? "
He had once asked Luo Yuheng if there were any records about the Taoist Master in Renzong's ancient books.
Luo Yuheng's answer was no.
At that time, Xu Qi'an's cultivation was still shallow. He thought that the Taoist Master was too mysterious and the later generations didn't know much about him.
Today, as his cultivation increased, he learned more secrets. Only then did he know that both the Heaven and Earth Sects knew what happened to the Taoist Master's clone, except for Renzong.
"My Taoist Master's clone of the Human Sect is still alive." The Celestial Master told him the big secret in a concise and emotionless manner.
"As expected …" Xu Qi'an was not surprised or shocked. Instead, he heaved a sigh of relief. He felt satisfied as if he had finally put down his boots.
He continued,
"I want to take the Saintess with me. Please grant my wish, Tianzun."
Tianzun asked straightforwardly,
"If you don't grant my wish!"
Xu Qi'an also spoke bluntly,
"Then the competition between Heaven and Man will begin early. The four of us will fight against you!"
After weighing the pros and cons, Tianzun replied rationally and calmly,
"From now on, Li Miaozhen has nothing to do with the Tenzō."
After a pause, Tianzun said,
"After the competition between Heaven and Man, the Tenzō will seal the mountain and will not disturb us again."
Xu Qi'an nodded in agreement and put forward another condition.
"During the competition between Heaven and Man, the battlefield must be in the Central Plains. I will not intervene in the battle between you and Luo Yuheng, but I will protect her life. On this basis, I don't care how much Origin Spiritual Power you can plunder or how much Origin Spiritual Power she can plunder. "
He could oppress others with his power, but he could not be too ruthless. The Tenzō was not weak. Except for Tianzun, the Frozen End Progenitor and Taoist Priest Xuancheng were both Grade Three Yang Spirits.
Tianzun did not say anything and acquiesced to his proposal.
…
Outside the hall, a group of people was closely watching the situation inside the Tianzun Hall. The hall door was open, and they could see the figures of Xu Qi'an and Tianzun, but they could not hear any sound.
However, the relatively calm attitudes of the two sides allowed the Sky Sects' members to put down the stone that was hanging in their hearts.
At least they did not have to worry about being involved in the war.
Luo Yuheng and the Jinlian Taoist priest looked relaxed. As fellow disciples of Taoism, they knew that the Tenzō was the calmest and most rational.
They would first weigh the pros and cons when dealing with things, and would not fight with their lives on the spur of the moment.
Beside Taoist Priest Xuancheng, Li Lingsu was also relaxed, knowing that he had escaped a disaster.
To be honest, when he was in Yongzhou, facing the "search" of his master and the Frozen End Progenitor, he was panicking.
After that, Li Lingsu had been worried about the attitude of his master. He would definitely be punished when he returned, but he could not think of a solution. He could only hope that it would be delayed one day at a time.
At that time, the Tenzō was too powerful, and no one could help them.
During the days when he was facing the wall, he heard that Xu Qi'an had advanced to Grade One. Li Lingsu was jealous and shouted in his heart,
That scumbag did a good job!
He knew that he and his junior sister could be saved.
At that moment, the crowd saw Xu Qi'an turn around and walk out of the hall.
All eyes were focused on him.
Was the result out?
Was the Tenzō going to punish the Saintess?
While the Tenzō disciples were thinking, Tianzun's loud voice rang in their ears.
"From today onwards, Li Miaozhen and the Tenzō have nothing to do with each other."
The crowd was in an uproar.
The disciples were angry, aggrieved, and relieved at the same time. They had mixed feelings.
Obviously, Tianzun had compromised.
Miaozhen left the sect. Then, what about me? Li Lingsu was stunned on the spot.
He took a deep breath and said to himself, "Forget it. Let's get out of Tenzō first."
Leaving the sect … Li Miaozhen had a premonition. She was not surprised, but she could not hide her sadness. She struggled to get up and kowtowed to the Frozen End Progenitor.
She sobbed, "Your disciple is unfilial. I have failed you, Master."
Master Xuan Cheng glanced at the Frozen End Progenitor. She was expressionless. He took out the fragment of the Tome of the Earth from his sleeve and threw it to the side of the platform.
"Go. We will never meet again!"
Li Miaozhen was sobbing.
Xu Qi'an walked to the platform and picked up the fragment of the Tome of the Earth from Li Miaozhen. He carried her in his arms and nodded to Jinlian and the others.
"Let's go!"
The Transcendents turned into beams of light and disappeared from the eyes of the Tenzō disciples.
It's finally over … Li Lingsu heaved a sigh of relief. He immediately felt something was wrong.
Hmm? What about me?!
You haven't taken me away yet. Hey, come back … The Holy Son's jaw dropped. His expression stiffened.
He suddenly felt that the world was cold and devoid of warmth.
Just as he was about to lose all hope, Master Xuan Cheng's cold voice rang in his ears.
"Get out of here!"
Li Lingsu's eyes reddened. He stuttered, "I-I didn't want to leave the sect. I will come back …"
He wanted to kowtow, but he was afraid that Tenzō would change her mind. He steeled his heart and rode his sword in the direction where Xu Qi'an and the others had disappeared.
No one stopped him.
"Enter the Frozen End Hall!"
Tianzun's voice rang out.
The Frozen End Progenitor turned and entered the Tianzun Hall.
Tianzun sat cross-legged on the lotus platform with his head lowered. His voice reverberated in the hall.
"Your fate with the Holy Daughter has ended. You are no longer mortal. Prepare to ascend to the second rank."
The Frozen End Progenitor bowed.
"Yes!
"Thank you, Tianzun!"
