In the Eastern Lantai Palace, Li Jingxun and Lantai Shen Jun sat opposite each other by the pond and drank tea.
Blue waves rippled and red lotuses swayed, giving off a faint fragrance.
"Senior Sister, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on for long if I don't ascend. By then, you'll be the only peer left in the human world. Won't you consider Dao Validation? "
Li Jingxun's original Great Wish was much simpler than Ji Feichen's. After the Eight Major Heaven Continents had merged, the Nine Provinces had been established and Li Jingxun had obtained the other half of the Great Wish Merit. If she wanted to, she could imitate Lantai Shen Jun's Dao Validation. However, she had suppressed her cultivation level and maintained it at the peak of the Heaven Immortal Realm.
The female immortal smiled and declined. "Just a little more. When the Nine Spirit Origin Consort attained the Heaven God Dao, she formed karma with all living beings in the world and wanted to end this karma in the human world. "
The handsome man disagreed. "Senior Sister, you have helped all living beings in the human world and saved people for thousands of years. You have returned all the karma. Are you not leaving because of him? "
After the Nine Major Sky Palaces were established, each main palace was guarded by Shen Jun. However, most of them were like Lady Sky Phoenix, who only guarded with their incarnations. After all, the Great Ultimate Realm did not allow Heaven Immortals to stay in the world, let alone Daojun's true body.
Lantai Shen Jun had stayed for thousands of years for his former friends. Now that his last friend had successfully become a Heaven Immortal, he could enter his immortal realm and enjoy his blessings. After he ascended, he would only leave an incarnation in Lantai Palace. At that time, only Ji Feichen would stay in the human world with his true body.
Wasn't Li Jingxun reluctant to go to the Heaven Domain Grand Supreme Saint Realm because of him?
The female immortal sighed. "The Grand Supreme Saint Realm doesn't welcome me. Junior Brother, you know that."
"…" Shen Jun was speechless for a moment. Then, he tried to salvage the situation. "Eldest Senior Brother might have something else to hide, but Senior Brother Tian Chen Zi is sincere. Also, our fellow disciples miss Senior Sister very much. Besides, it's not like it's impossible for Senior Sister to create her own Dao Heaven. Apart from her identity as an Immortal Cultivator, Senior Sister had transformed into the Lord of the Sky Fiends and also had the Karmic Title of the Sky Fiend Lord. At that time, it'll be fine as long as we don't stay in the Grand Supreme Saint Realm. "
With the return of Eldest Senior Brother Shinra and the return of Daojun Yu Hua, they had already begun to investigate the origins of Li Jingxun. Although Li Jingxun did not dare to speak too much to outsiders because of the Goddess of Taiyin's warning, Li Jingxun understood Daojun's attitude.
"That's one thing. I don't want to go to the Heaven Domain, so as to avoid any conflicts. On the other hand, she really didn't want him to be left alone in this world. I'm worried that if he's alone in the human world and there's no one to watch over him, he'll cause a huge change … "
As he was speaking, the seas of the human world suddenly surged with huge waves, the sun and moon lost their colors, and the world turned upside down.
Li Jingxun and Lantai Shen Jun investigated the Heavenly Dao, and their expressions changed. "He's splitting open the sky now?"
Lantai Shen Jun quickly stopped the waves that were surging towards the Qing Hua Heavenly Continent in the extreme east, stabilizing Lantai Palace.
The two of them were still in shock and looked at each other. Obviously, they were surprised by this change.
Shen Jun's mind was racing. It seems that Senior Sister doesn't know the inside story of splitting open the sky. Does that mean that the Taiyuan Taoist Priests didn't have any plans for her?
"Look, the change has already begun." Li Jingxun looked at the battle of the Divine Lord Huang Ting in the Infinite Vacuum and couldn't help but look worried.
Shen Jun blinked. "Senior Sister, are you worried about him?"
Li Jingxun retracted his gaze, picked up the glass cup, and took a sip of immortal tea. "After all, we've been friends for thousands of years. Even if it's for the situation in Long Yuan, you have to take care of his safety, right?"
You can be stubborn! No matter how you ask, you can always find a reason!
The young man shrugged and didn't want to continue asking. The two of them continued to sit quietly and drink tea.
But how could they sit still when Taiyuan splitting open the sky?
Although they were from the Topmost Palace, one of them was close to Ji Feichen, and the other was fated to be with the Hades Hierarch. When they were drinking tea, their minds were already elsewhere.
Finally, Shen Jun broke the silence. "Senior Sister, how do you feel about him? Love? Friendship? Enemies? Brother and sister? Or is it something else? "For a thousand years, Dragon Abyss and Topmost Palace had been able to work together because of the two's mediation. Now, Long Yuan and the Topmost Palace already had a pair of lovers, and even Ji and Li's disciples were already husband and wife. But these two were still indifferent.
They weren't close, but they paid attention to each other and knew each other's next move better than anyone else. They weren't close, but they still refused to break the last layer of window paper. They lived in different places and looked at each other from afar.
"You talk a lot today."
The young man Shen Jun grinned. His smile was as bright as the sun. "I'm going to ascend soon. I want to clarify things, don't I?" Although the battle outside was fierce, Lantai Shen Jun knew that it wasn't the time to make a move. Moreover, he wanted to test Li Jingxun's attitude.
Lantai Shen Jun and the Hades Hierarch were friends, so he wanted to save her. But his Senior Sister still hadn't ascended, which was a big problem in the human world. Defecting to any side would pose a great threat to the enemy.
Li Jingxun heard this and wanted to reach out to knock his head. The young man quickly added, "Senior Sister is a saint who doesn't care about love. You can't be embarrassed to talk about trivial matters of love, right?"
His hand stopped in mid-air. Being pushed by his Junior Brother, Li Jingxun's movement froze and he slowly retracted his hand.
After a while, he said, "You're right. There's nothing I can't see through."
Li Jingxun lowered her head and looked at the water ripples in the glass beads. She said softly, "Because of my vigilance against my mother's past, I don't trust so-called love at all."
The young man blinked and seemed to want to say something. But in the end, he didn't interrupt. He just looked a little annoyed. He almost forgot that Senior Sister grew up in a single-parent family. She lived with her mother since she was young, so her concept of marriage and love was different from others. He accidentally poked Senior Sister's scar. It was a mistake, a mistake.
But once he started talking, Li Jingxun's expression became more and more calm. "At our level, we live for tens of thousands of years and are immortal. Do you believe in eternal love?"
The longer one's life was, the more difficult it was to promise eternal love.
In the near eternal years, everything would fade away in the passage of time.
Lantai Shen Jun thought of his former lovers and subconsciously touched the bridge of his nose.
"With such a father, I never yearned for love. But — "Li Jingxun revealed a quiet smile, as if thinking of the good memories of the past." I used to think that if I wanted to find someone to spend the rest of my life with, it should be him, right? At least we can talk. Even if there are some small disputes, we are all reasonable people. It's fine if we talk it out. "
"Ahem …" Lantai Shen Jun also stopped thinking about his many love affairs in the past and asked seriously, "I remember that Senior Sister seemed to want to give the identity of the Grand Master to him so that we can settle the feud between the two immortal meridians together?"
"Senior Brother Tian Chen Zi passed the mantle to me, but I never thought that I was suitable." On the contrary, Li Jingxun thought that Ji Feichen was very suitable to be the Grand Master. The premise was that he was not a Qing Hong Taoist from the Demon Sect.
She had always thought that she, who had the identity of the Demon Sect, was not suitable to be in charge of the Grand Master. Unexpectedly, the person she liked also had an inexplicable connection with the Demon Sect.
"Senior Sister is too humble. If not for Senior Sister's planning, the Topmost Palace would not have been able to maintain its transcendent position for the past thousand years. No matter what others think, I think Senior Sister is a qualified Grand Master. Whether it is the Great World or the Heavenly Dao, Senior Sister has done a good job. "
With the birth of the eight Heaven Continents, the orthodoxies of the two palaces that were stationed in each continent merged with each other. There were voices of disharmony within, and many elders fought openly and secretly, indirectly causing endless disputes between the continents.
On the other hand, the descendants of the Topmost Palace worked together to seek the merit of the Heaven Continent's integration. In the past, the disciples of their generation, except for Li Jingxun and the junior brother who had transformed into Lantai Shen Jun, had all ascended. Now, even Fan Qiuyue and the others had begun to accept disciples and pass on the Dao. The current Li Jingxun was already a legendary figure at the level of the Ancestral Master.
"So, Senior Sister has a good impression of him?" Then, what about her attitude towards the Three Realms as One? This was what the Divine Monarch wanted to ask. Based on this relationship, would Senior Sister choose to watch from the sidelines or turn to support them?
"It was in the past." Li Jingxun shook her head. It had been almost two thousand years. Thinking back to the time when the two of them had revealed their identities, it was as if the scene had happened yesterday.
"All these years, you see that the two of us have a good relationship and have recovered. In fact, it is just that the two of us treat each other with respect, know each other's bottom line, and never touch each other's bottom line. In the mortal world, a husband and wife who treat each other with respect may last for hundreds of years and grow old together. But for people like us, if we give it our all, it will be eternal. This kind of relationship, after all, is a bit lacking. "
In the end, Li Jingxun did not dare to take the last step.
It was not just her, Ji Feichen also had scruples, which was why they had maintained the current distance. Because they did not understand, if they took the next step, would they become more harmonious, or would they become enemies.
In the Heavenly Regions, those immortal beings rarely promised eternity. And among those who dared to promise eternity, how many of them could still maintain their original hearts?
Hearing Li Jingxun say this, Shen Jun had mixed feelings. That's right, didn't the few relationships he had in the past also end because of various reasons?
They could not even last for a hundred years, let alone thousands of years.
Shen Jun couldn't help but pick up the teacup. "Senior Sister, don't worry. No matter what, no matter what choice you make, I will definitely be on your side!"
"Just on my side?" Li Jingxun asked with a faint smile, "If I plan to implement the idea of the Void Realms, will you also be on my side?"
"That …" The young man smiled awkwardly. "That's another matter."
"So, Junior Martial Brother, you can talk about it openly instead of beating around the bush and asking about Senior Martial Sister's children." Li Jingxun looked straight at Lantai Shen Jun. "What you want to ask me is which side should I take between the two ideas of the universe?"
"Do you think that I can't even tell the difference between reason and emotion, and that I have to help you complete the path of the Three Realms as One?"
"…" The young man was speechless. He complained in his heart, "A Saint like Wang Qing is indeed troublesome."
Shen Jun knew that although his Senior Sister acted like a little girl in front of him, with the help of the Heart of Wang Qing, she knew what he wanted from the beginning. Even if she was in love, it would not be able to interfere with her rational plans.
"If she really abandoned love and destroyed her feelings, it would be easier to deal with her. But now … "Shen Jun organized his words and said cautiously," I think the Three Realms as One is similar to the Void Realms. But the Divine Man of the Three Realms is different. He sees the universe as the true form of the Divine Man. Other than allowing the Divine Man to cultivate on his own, the Divine Man himself is also a supreme combat power. I think the Three Realms system is stronger than the Void Realms. At least, the current Void Realms are not as strong as the Divine Man of the Three Realms. Unless, after the Void Realms are completed, they can also use the Void Starry Ocean to form the Divine Man, or use the Connate Array to cultivate on their own. But if that happens, wouldn't it be the same? "
"If a universal war breaks out. The Divine Man of the Three Realms compressed the worlds into the Blessed Grotto-Heavens within the Nine States, making it easier for them to mobilize for war. On the other hand, the Void Realms … "
At this moment, it was Ji Feichen who was controlling Huang Ting to smash the stars at the Taiyuan Taoist Priests. Seeing the stars being destroyed, Lantai Shen Jun sneered. "If there is really an invasion, the so-called Void Realms are nothing. How can a small world guarded by a Sky Immortal fight against an enemy? They will probably be smashed into the Origin Realm! "
Li Jingxun listened to Shen Jun quietly, not interrupting or rebuking him.
She already knew the choice between the two systems before she came. She just wanted to confirm her Junior Brother's thoughts.
The Lantai Immortal Lord spoke with fervor and assurance, pointing out the pros and cons of the two major systems. When he was done, Li Jingxun said, "Junior Brother indeed admires this concept more. Furthermore, you're not like 'him' who is driven only by benefits. Junior Brother is the one who truly looks at the big picture and inherits the will of 'that existence'. "
Li Jingxun was not familiar with Huang Ting Daojun. But after a thousand years, through her communication with Ji Feichen, she had a clear understanding of the Three Realms as One plan.
She understood that Ji Feichen's promotion of the Divine Man of the Three Realms was the best path to fulfill the aspirations of the Ground Fairies. But Lantai Shen Jun was different. From the start, Lantai Shen Jun had supported the Three Realms as One. He hoped that the Three Realms would eventually form the true form of the Divine Man and complete the leap of the world.
From this point, the Dragon King, the Hierarch, and the others were not as sincere as Lantai Shen Jun.
"Junior Brother, if we can find our own ideas of Tao and find friends who can move forward with us, how lucky would that be? The path ahead has been set, and there is no regret. You just have to move forward. "
This was not only a warning to her fellow disciples, but also to herself.
Li Jingxun looked at Ji Feichen who was fighting in the sky.
The Taiyuan Taoist Priests had sacrificed too much for the Void Realms. They had been planning for thousands of years.
Her Junior Brother had chosen to put his fellow disciples under house arrest a thousand years ago for the Divine Man of the Three Realms. He had taken the Mandate of Heaven to promote the establishment of the Nine States.
So, it was time for her to choose her own path.
Feeling the rising momentum brought about by the change in Li Jingxun's state of mind, Lantai Shen Jun frowned. Senior Sister had said so much. Which idea did she choose?
"It's simple. My path has always been to protect the Mandate of Heaven and balance the world. The Celestial in my heart is not a Tranquil Celestial who has no desires, but it is also not a mighty person who relies on his own strength to go against the Mandate of Heaven and fight for the world. "
Lantai Shen Jun's eyes lit up and he said happily, "Thank you, Senior Sister!"
At this moment, there was a sudden change in the sky. Ji Feichen was thrown into the Heavenly Realm. What followed was a warning from the Taoist Priests.
The young Shen Jun sneered. Li Jingxun was also worried about Ji Feichen's safety. But a Sage like Wang Qing could always maintain his rationality in critical moments.
"Junior Brother, help me check his current situation. Never mind, let me do it!"
She didn't panic and closed her eyes quietly.
A five-colored glow appeared in her body. The merit from the Nine States Cauldron Revolution became the last key to open the door to the Daojun. It allowed Li Jingxun to elevate her Connate Xuanpin Dao to the core of the Heavenly Dao and sense Ji Feichen's current situation.
Not long after, Li Jingxun retracted the phenomenon and suppressed her cultivation again. She opened her eyes and said, "Junior Brother, stay in the human world to help. I will go to the Heavenly Realm."
"But Senior Sister, you …" You haven't proven your Dao yet?
The next moment, Shen Jun reacted. "Senior Sister, you are going to the Heavenly Realm to prove your Dao?"
"Yes, he is in the Heavenly Realm. He is on the verge of death. Someone has to help him. I will leave the human world to you. "
