There was silence in the Slow Winding Pavilion.
Que Jingxue and the rest fell into silence. Their expressions were complicated, and their hearts were tangled.
The Celestial River Divine Treasure had touched them greatly, but what touched them even more was Qin Mu's words.
Qin Mu was right. The reason why Heaven was hostile to the reform wasn't because they were worried that the lower bound would threaten their rule. With the current scale of Heaven, even if Yankang was given thousands or even tens of thousands of years, Yankang wouldn't be a match for Heaven.
The reason why Heaven was hostile to the reform was because the people who controlled Heaven's power couldn't gain any benefits from the reform. If they supported the reform or ignored it, the foundation of their rule would be shaken!
If the people in power in Heaven accepted the reform, they might fall and be taken advantage of by their political enemies.
Even if they didn't reincarnate, they would have to modify their techniques and comprehend them again. It was equivalent to starting from scratch!
The reform had taken too much effort and time. What if a newcomer from the younger generation overtook him during this period of time? What if there was a junior who replaced them?
How could they be willing to give up their power and status?
If they ignored the reform, there would be new gods replacing the old gods. The new gods would be stronger and more motivated than the old gods. Sooner or later, they would overthrow their rule, just like how they had overthrown the rule of the ancient gods!
Therefore, the simplest way was to treat the reform as a rebellion, a heresy, and a target that had to be killed!
Only in this way could they ensure that they would never fall and that they would rule for a long time. They could also ensure that no one would have the chance to replace them.
However, even if they understood this point, Que Jingxue and the rest were still faced with a dilemma.
Should they cultivate the Celestial River Divine Treasure or accept Yankang's reform?
If they didn't accept it, they would die on the battlefield. The benefits of the Celestial River Divine Treasure couldn't be matched by the traditional Divine Bridge Divine Treasure. In the future, if they met someone who had opened a divine treasure on the battlefield, they would definitely be killed!
If they accepted the reform, their sects wouldn't tolerate them. Their elders would immediately change their attitude and kill them. They might even implicate their clansmen!
Qi Jiuyi walked in from outside and sat down silently without speaking.
There was a bloody smell coming from his body.
Everyone in the pavilion was shocked. Just now, Qi Jiuyi said that he was going to send those people off. Now that he had the smell of blood on his body, they were afraid that those people just now were most likely doomed.
Qin Mu revealed an inquiring look. Qi Jiuyi said indifferently, "It has already been handled properly. Heaven ordered them to come here to kill Mu Tianzun, so they will die at the hands of Mu Tianzun. "
Qin Mu frowned and said, "Why do you have to get rid of them? Just let them go. "
Qi Jiuyi sneered and said, "Let them go? Cult Master Qin, you want to use their mouths to disturb the Heaven, right? You underestimate the Heavenly Courts. After they leave, all the young people who came to the Jade Lake today will die inexplicably. None of them will be left alive, including me! "
Que Jingxue and the others shivered in fear.
Qin Mu asked with concern, "Then can Brother Qi handle it cleanly?"
"Their souls have scattered, it's very clean."
Qi Jiuyi had a hint of arrogance. "Cult Master Qin, there's no need to doubt my abilities. Ever since I opened up the Celestial River Divine Treasure, I'm no longer the same as before! Their techniques and divine arts are all outdated. In the past, I might not have been their match, but now, they can't even withstand a single blow. "
A nine-headed phoenix appeared behind him and soared above the celestial river. The primordial spirit of the nine-headed phoenix was unruly and abnormally fierce. "They were killed by Mu Tianzun. They challenged Mu Tianzun, but they didn't expect Mu Tianzun to be so vicious and destroy their primordial spirits! Mu Tianzun shouldn't care about such a small crime, right? "
Qin Mu revealed a smile. "I don't care, I can shoulder it."
Qi Jiuyi looked around, and his gaze became more and more fierce. "Everyone, don't worry, they have already been killed by me. Even if you cultivate the Celestial River Divine Treasure, no one will know."
A young man said with a trembling voice, "What if there's someone among us who doesn't cultivate the Celestial River Divine Treasure?"
Qi Jiuyi didn't say anything else. The nine-headed phoenix behind him flapped its wings and raged with flames.
That person said in despair, "After we open up the Celestial River Divine Treasure, we definitely won't be able to hide it from our fellow disciples, let alone our master! My master is the heavenly king of Heaven! "
Yun Jianli suddenly said, "We can go to the Primordial Realm."
Everyone was stunned, not understanding why he suddenly said that.
Yun Jianli said, "Going to the Primordial Realm is a way to survive and avoid the inspection of our sect. Furthermore, there's Yankang's reform in the lower bound, so we can learn more from it. After I saw Mu Tianzun's abilities, I also want to go to the lower bound. In Heaven, we're like frogs in a well, unable to see the true heaven and earth. Us divine arts practitioners are also Dao seekers. Since the celestial heavens are lifeless and the high gods have no intention of improving themselves, we can't see any hope if we stay in the celestial heavens. Why don't we just go down to the lower bound? "
