It could be said that Madam Shan Xiu's words explained a lot of things that he hadn't been able to understand before.
For example, given Dao Ancestor Wang's prestigious status in the cultivation world, why had he chosen a rebellious person like Peng Xiren as his disciple?
After all, talent wasn't the only thing that mattered when it came to choosing a disciple; morality and character were equally important.
Looking at it all now, Peng Xiren was nothing more than a usurper who claimed to be Dao Ancestor Wang's disciple.
Because of Wang Ling's promise, Dao Ancestor Wang had no choice but to accept him and pass on his legacy to him.
"I didn't expect things to turn out like this …"
Even East Great Emperor was surprised when he heard this. It wasn't that the four emperors hadn't paid attention to the Peng family, which had risen to prominence in the last hundred years, but they hadn't expected them to actually have such an idea.
"Seniors, I suddenly thought of a possibility," Lotus Sun suddenly said at that moment, her expression extremely solemn.
"Miss Sun, please speak." East Great Emperor nodded and looked like he was all ears.
"I'm thinking … what if King Tiankun's death and Peng Xiren's subsequent fight for the Book of Nine Realms are actually part of the historical trajectory?"
It had to be said that Lotus Sun's very bold idea shocked everyone present and they looked at each other in dismay.
East Great Emperor asked, "This … are you saying that it's still part of the historical trajectory?"
Lotus Sun nodded obediently, then analyzed the situation unhurriedly. "I think that the progress of the diary, including East Great Emperor's, is actually the first time we've experienced it. Although it says what will happen later, it's true that things haven't developed according to what's written in the diary, and it seems like we've already deviated from the historical trajectory. But if all of this was planned by the senior who wrote the diary, that's a different story.
"Since that senior has the ability to write this diary that transcends timelines, then he definitely has the power to influence the development of the timeline. If he has already calculated King Tiankun's death, then he will definitely be able to control the trajectory of events. If he has already calculated King Tiankun's death and Peng Xiren's obtaining of the Book of Nine Realms, then everything else actually makes sense.
"As for what I said above, there's actually evidence to back it up. After all, Peng Xiren did indeed inherit Dao Ancestor Wang's legacy in the modern cultivation society. This legacy is very pure, and clearly wasn't given to him by the Yin Scroll of the Book of Nine Realms. "
"This …"
Everyone was stunned by her words. Wang Zhen thought it over carefully and felt that there was some truth to her words. "Actually, Rongrong's words are quite logical. Also, why do I feel that rather than saying that the person who was clearly arranged is the dead King Tiankun, it's better to say that it's this Peng Xiren. "
Liu Qingyi quickly nodded in agreement with Wang Zhen's opinion. "Mm, that makes sense. After all, in the timeline of the modern Cultivation society, even if Peng Xiren inherited Dao Ancestor Wang's orthodoxy, he would still be beaten up by Senior Wang, wouldn't he? That is to say, this orthodoxy was probably inherited by him on purpose in our timeline. "
Wang Ling and Wang Ying: "…"
So that was how it was!
At that moment, Wang Ling couldn't help thinking that Lotus Sun was a genius …
He had only wanted to find the mastermind behind the mysterious text, but he had neglected this layer of logical connection.
That was right, this Peng Xiren had already inherited his orthodoxy in the modern Cultivation society. Even if he had inherited Dao Ancestor Wang's orthodoxy, it wasn't as strong as Wang Ling had imagined.
Orthodoxy was a good thing; it could greatly increase a cultivator's cultivation in a short period of time, which was the equivalent of a grandmaster giving a meal to eat.
But orthodoxy also had its limits.
Because if Peng Xiren had talent that surpassed Dao Ancestor Wang's, inheriting Dao Ancestor Wang's orthodoxy would instead be a shackle for him.
And this point was actually proven right now.
Because Peng Xiren wasn't interested in the orthodox Book of Nine Realms, he was instead more interested in the Yin Scroll replica. After all, the Yin Scroll contained the power of the old world, which could double his strength and give him infinite possibilities.
After analyzing the situation at this point, it seemed that the current situation was already infinitely clear. Faced with a script that had completely deviated from the diary's trajectory, Wang Ling finally knew how to put a full stop to this plot from the eternal world.
"It looks like we still have to wait for the Four Emperors Assembly tomorrow."
At that moment, Wang Ying looked around and said, "It's impossible that Great West Emperor doesn't know about King Tiankun's death. Under normal circumstances, given the conflict between Great West Emperor and Great East Emperor, he would have already come looking for revenge. But Great West Emperor hasn't done anything yet. This can only mean one thing, and that is that Great West Emperor has also thought of this, which is why he hasn't made a move. "
"In that case, the force that Peng Xiren belongs to will still make a move," said You Yueqing.
She did her best to straighten her posture and control her snake body. Although moving was no different from walking on two legs in a normal situation, this abrupt feeling was still present.
"This Peng Xiren doesn't know that King Tiankun has already transferred the Yin Scroll, and that it's in Madam Shan Xiu's hands. So the most likely scenario now is that he'll directly snatch the Yang Scroll. Then, he'll use a magic treasure or secret art from the old world to replicate the Yin Scroll! "
"Daoist You is absolutely right."
At that moment, Wang Ying's eyes met You Yueqing's. This Daoist priest was young, but extremely quick-witted.
On the other side, Zhang Zipei had also come over with the Yin Scroll that Madam Shan Xiu had given him. Madam Shan Xiu was a woman of her word; not only did she explain the whole story, she also directly offered the Yin Scroll to Wang Ying.
She wasn't stupid; in her hands, this thing was no different from an invisible time bomb. Furthermore, as an orthodox cultivator, she had no intention of opening it at all.
No cultivator in their right mind would want the terrifying civilization of the old world to revive in the eternal cultivation world … That dark and twisted history should remain as history forever, sealed in the long river of time.
"What should we do? What should we do with this thing?" Zhang Zipei took the initiative to hand over the Yin Scroll.
Wang Ling accepted the Dao Yin Scroll, but he had no intention of opening it. Although he was curious about the old world, he was now well aware that he was making a decision on behalf of future cultivators.
Thus, he didn't think too much about it. A dazzling black and white flame immediately rose in his hand, and with a bang, the Yin Scroll was directly burned to ashes.
East Great Emperor's Adam's apple couldn't help bobbing up and down. He never thought that the Yin Scroll of the Book of Nine Realms would actually be burned so easily … What kind of method was this?
In the last few days, the methods that this senior hiding in his body had repeatedly displayed had already surpassed East Great Emperor's own understanding.
Especially when he had just heard people say that Peng Xiren, who had inherited Dao Ancestor Wang's legacy, had been beaten up by this Senior Wang in the modern cultivation world, East Great Emperor's heart was filled with mixed feelings.
What kind of person was Dao Ancestor Wang …
This was the legend and pearl of the eternal cultivation world!
This group of people actually didn't revere such a person at all … this was too scary.
Even East Great Emperor himself began to have faint doubts.
Was the first founder of Cultivation Dao Ancestor Wang or not …?
