Zhang Yan waited for Wei Zihong to leave before he stood up from his seat and went to the palace platform. He stood with his sleeves behind his back and looked at the myriad of worlds that were gathering and dispersing like the clouds.
When the almighty cultivators of the Spirit Refinement Realm looked at the present world, what they saw was really a painting scroll, and it was always the same changes. It was no wonder that this generation did not care much about the present world, because to them, these things were not illusory and did not have much meaning to them.
He had once thought that if everyone in the world could cultivate, everyone could live forever, and everyone could enjoy the upper realm, that would naturally be good. But in reality, this was impossible. Even if there were endless external things, everyone had their own differences in aptitude.
As a Taishang, he had the ability to forcefully promote everyone, but this was like a small pond with countless dragons squeezing into it. Even if the world did not collapse, it was still a pool of stagnant water.
The wonderful Dao of the world lay in the word 'change'. If everyone was the same, then there would be no change, and there would be no progress.
He turned his gaze and looked at Bu Xu Tian again.
Since the last time the Heavenly Saint was eliminated, there had been many changes in the past few decades because of the existence's Qi activity, but he had managed to solve them one by one.
Now, there was still the last bit of the strange force that had not been cleaned up.
He had previously sent his disciples to search for it, but they could not find it. It was as if this thing was originally there, but after someone found it, it went somewhere else.
He repeatedly calculated and found that these strange forces did not pose a threat to him, and there were many almighty cultivators in Bu Xu Tian, so these could be traces left behind by the predecessors, intentionally or unintentionally.
If this was the case, unless his cultivation and mana were above all of the predecessors, it would be difficult to completely clean up.
However, if he wanted to control Bu Xu Tian, he did not have to take all of it. He only had to use the big force to cover the small force. Although this might leave some loose ends, it was the best choice if he could not complete the task. Then, even if the almighty cultivators returned, they would not be able to take the control away from his hands.
Kun Shi Continent.
Chang Zaixing arrived at the borders of the Bai Kingdom and first went home to meet his parents.
When he left home, he was only a child, but now he was a tall and handsome young man. When Chang Dalang, husband and wife saw him, at first they did not dare to recognize him, but later on when they saw that it was indeed their own son, they could not help but feeling extremely delighted.
Chang Zai discovered that after not seeing them for more than ten years, his parents did not look old at all and were still in good health. Later on when he asked, he found out that it was someone who sent the pills every month, using him as an excuse. But Chang Dalang was a straightforward man, so he did not take this to heart and had never mentioned it in his letters.
Chang Zai thought to himself, "This must be the Taoist's care. If I see him again, I must thank him properly."
After seeing his parents, he finally felt much more at ease. He stayed in Jia Village for more than a month, but he didn't see Daoist Xi Yi looking for him.
In reality, this person had not come looking for trouble for many years, so the possibility of him coming here was already very small. However, in order to prevent any accidents, he still left two birds here. If he encountered danger, they could carry his parents and fly away from this place.
After a few more days, he decided to set off for Baidu. After six years of imprisonment, he still had to demand an explanation.
Before he left, he specially left behind many gold, pearls, and bronze wares to distribute to the villagers of Jia Mountain. After all, he was not in the village all these years, and Chang Dalang and his wife had relied on the help of these villagers, so he had to repay them.
He traveled on the spiritual bird, and after a day, he saw Zhong City in the distance.
When he arrived here, he could not help but remember what Shen Dong had said that day. You must have strength before you can reason.
Then as long as you have strength, you can be unreasonable?
He originally thought that he could not accept this, because he felt that if he could do this today, then others could do the same to him tomorrow.
In that case, speaking reason seemed to be to prevent the weak from being bullied by the strong, because this seemed to be more beneficial to the weak.
However, when he thought about it again, he realized that it was not right. It was a joke to expect others to abide by the rules and reason, unless there was a power above them to maintain all of this.
And when there was no such power above them, then under normal circumstances, only people with similar strength would pay attention to these because they were wary of each other. Everything he had experienced in these few years proved this logic.
He thought to himself, 'Daoist is right. Now that I have strength, I can come and reason!'
Just as he was thinking, he suddenly saw a beam of divine light floating in front of him, blocking his path. Then, a jade-faced, golden-robed god with a huge body appeared in front of him. He looked down and said solemnly, "Where did you come from, sir?"
Chang Zai realized that the power of this deity was not small, at least he had no confidence in going against him. He guessed that this was the protector god of Baidu Country, so he said, "I came here because I have a private matter to attend to."
The deity said, "Do you have proof?"
Chang Zai was stunned and said, "What proof?"
The deity saw that he did not know, so he explained. As it turned out, as long as one was a cultivator, if they wanted to enter the capital of the countries of human dao, then they had to leave their name, residence, and even their roots with the local protector god. If they were not willing, they would not be forced, but they would not be allowed to enter.
The purpose of this was to prevent cultivators from using their cultivation to stir up trouble in the mortal world.
Of course, this was mainly targeted at itinerant cultivators. The disciples of the big sects all had roots, and most of them were very particular about the rules, so they had relatively little to do with the interests of these vassal states.
Chang Zai frowned and said, "I'm from Baidu Country, do I have to do this too?"
He was not afraid of leaving his name, but it was not like Baidu King did not have guards around him. Even though Bai Tu was dead, his connection with Daoist Xi Yi might not be severed, and it might even be closer.
If he told them his name now and they found out in advance, then there might be more twists and turns in this matter.
The deity said, "Since you are from Baidu Country, why can't you leave your name and master? Moreover, this is a rule set by the divine master, so it cannot be broken."
Chang Zai thought about it and turned to leave.
The deity looked at his back coldly, but did not stop him. As long as the cultivator did not enter the capital, he would not chase after him and pester him.
Chang Zai found a barren hill outside the capital and landed. He thought for a while. With the deity up there, it was obvious that he had no chance of sneaking in, but he actually had a way. Baidu King could not stay in the city forever, especially during the autumn hunt and spring ploughing every year. As the ruler of a country, he had to show up.
The autumn hunt was a month later, so he just had to wait.
After being an itinerant cultivator for a few years, even though this was just a temporary place to stay, he still carefully set up a set of formation flags.
At this moment, he did not expect that this action would allow him to avoid a dangerous situation.
At midnight, when he was meditating, a sense of danger suddenly surged in his heart, and he could not help but stand up. He saw three Daoists dressed differently standing outside, and the one standing in the middle was Daoist Xi Yi. His heart could not help but tighten, and he looked left and right. He discovered that the two people beside her were the other two cultivators he had seen in the Celestial Palace all those years ago.
He quickly reacted and said, "Was it that deity who told you to wait for me here?"
Daoist Xi Yi smiled and said, "Chang Zai, your mistake was taking my disciple's life. He was Baidu King's nephew, and with this kind of relationship, how could the deity let you enter the city? Would he just sit and watch you kill Baidu King?"
Chang Zai shook his head and said, "I didn't plan to kill him."
Daoist Xi Yi nodded and said, "I believe that. Even though he imprisoned you for six years, it was not a life and death feud, but the deity wouldn't think that way. With you here, how could he feel at ease?"
Chang Zai previously lacked understanding of these gods, and he had always thought that they stood on the right side, but now it seemed that was not the case. They also had selfish motives, and this carelessness had caused his whereabouts to be discovered. He secretly remembered this lesson.
Back then, Daoist Xi Yi had suspected that he had been used as a pawn, so he had abandoned his cave and fled. He had even been anxious for a while. Even though no one had come to find him in the past few years, he was still afraid that something might happen, so he had been hiding from Chang Zai.
However, this time was different. He had come under the orders of Baidu King, and he had obtained a righteous title. Even if there was someone behind Chang Zai, there would be a deity protecting him. At the same time, he also had the thought of borrowing the hand of a god to topple the person behind Chang Zai.
Chang Zai looked at the three people. After reaching the Mystic Light Realm, he had more or less figured out that Daoist Xi Yi's cultivation was similar to his. It would be easy to deal with one person, but he did not have much confidence in facing three at the same time. Fortunately, he had prepared for the worst this time. He immediately called out in secret, and the sound of flapping wings came from the sky. He could not help but relax. These two birds were not any weaker than him.
Who would have thought that at this moment, a screen of light would rise up and immediately block the two divine steeds that were flying over?
Daoist Xi Yi said indifferently, "Do you think we will not make preparations because we know you have the ability to control beasts? This is the capital. As long as the Deity Sovereign does not allow it, no beasts or birds can be summoned. "
Chang Zai clenched his fists. He had summoned these two before, and the Deity Sovereign had not come to stop them. Now that they had acted when he was about to make his move, it was obvious that they were deliberately targeting him.
He was silent for a moment, and then he suddenly sighed.
Daoist Xi Yi said, "What, do you know that you have no chance of winning?"
Chang Zai said calmly, "That is not the case. I am just sighing. Baidu King clearly could not have died, but now he has done this. He has brought about his own destruction. This Deity Sovereign clearly could have stayed out of this, but now he has jumped in himself. Why bother?"
Daoist Xi Yi laughed and said, "Are you still trying to bluff at a time like this?"
Chang Zai didn't say anything more to him. He made a hand seal, and the formation flag below him shook. In an instant, it enveloped himself, Daoist Xi Yi, and the other two. This wasn't six years ago, and he was already very familiar with this thing.
"Formation flag?"
Daoist Xi Yi was shocked. He did not expect to have such an item on him. Formation flags were also divided into different grades, but the illusion in front of him and the formation qi that spread in all directions was enough to prove that it was a high-grade one. As long as the surrounding spiritual opportunity of the earth veins did not disappear, it could continue to operate. He knew that this was not a situation they could handle. He hurriedly released his artifact to protect himself. At the same time, he shouted, "Please save us, Deity Sovereign!"
When the Sir God who was hiding in the dark saw this scene, he was surprised. Just as he was about to attack, he suddenly realized that there was a black-robed Taoist in front of him. The person looked over and said to him, "My junior brother is right. This matter has nothing to do with you, so why did you jump out?" As he spoke, he pointed his finger.
The Deity Sovereign immediately felt a great pressure that was difficult to resist. He could not help but be terrified. He shouted, "I am the Deity Sovereign's …" Before he finished speaking, his whole body suddenly exploded into countless scattered stardust.
Wei Zihong retracted his hand and looked at the specks of starlight. He said lightly, "I don't care who you are. Since you mentioned the Deity Sovereign, I will go to the Divine Court later and ask him to give me an explanation."
