In the depths of the void, the purple-clothed Taoist suddenly woke up from his meditative state. His expression changed slightly.
He remembered that he was not meditating, but something like this had happened.
However, he did not panic. He calmly examined his body and soon found something strange.
His body seemed to have been swapped again, but he had inherited the memories of his previous body.
Although there didn't seem to be any changes on the surface, based on his previous experience, he clearly knew that he had already passed on the matter of helping Zhi Lian obtain Mighty Power to the main body.
This proved that his previous inference was indeed correct. As long as there was a Great Virtue or a Great Virtue's avatar that made a request to him, regardless of whether he initiated it or it was the other party's own will, once he made a promise, the Great Virtue would respond to it.
He could not help but shudder. This confirmed his previous conjecture. The connection between him and his original body was much closer than he had previously thought.
He was half happy and half worried about this result. The worry was that he had always been a single entity and did not want to be involved with his original body. Now it seemed that it would be very difficult to cut off this connection.
The joy was that this undoubtedly meant that his original body did not know what he was really thinking. So as long as he arranged it properly, he might be able to use this power to free himself from the restraints.
However, he also knew that this power must have its limit. At most, it could only affect a Bhadanta Weili slightly when they returned. If a Bhadanta wanted to break the power of Retribution, it would definitely be impossible. If his original body had this ability, he would have returned to the Bhadanta long ago and would not have to resort to these methods.
As his thoughts turned to this point, he suddenly had an idea. Immediately, his Divine Will turned and connected with Xiang Jue.
The two talked in secret for a long time before they separated.
After Xiang Jue withdrew from the Divine Will, he pondered for a long time. Then, he turned his Divine Will and tried to guide Ji Zhuang. A moment later, his Divine Will descended. Thus, both of them were confused. After greeting each other, Ji Zhuang asked, "What business do you have with me?"
Xiang Jue said, "Fellow Daoist said you would reconsider my previous proposal. Have you considered it?"
Ji Zhuang glanced at Xiang Jue. His rejection last time was actually a disguised rejection. He didn't believe that Xiang Jue couldn't tell, but he didn't expect him to ask again.
He slowly said, "I've thought about this matter when I returned, but there are still many inappropriate areas. If the Spirit of Creation returns early because of this, what should we do? Unless Fellow Daoist is related to the Spirit of Creation, then there's naturally nothing to fear. "
Xiang Jue laughed and said, "Fellow Daoist must be joking. After careful consideration, this method is indeed lacking in consideration. It is better to find another method."
Ji Zhuang said, "What do you have in mind, fellow Daoist?"
Xiang Jue said, "We are constantly drawing in our own magic power. Although this is to restore our original strength as soon as possible, we are inadvertently competing with fellow Daoists who are trapped in the Robbery Power. This is very likely to cause our returning Daoists to have incomplete magic power. How will we be able to fight against Daoist Xuanyuan then?"
At this point, his tone became more serious. "Why don't we both give up on this mission and bring back a fellow Daoist who is stronger than both of us? If we succeed, that person will definitely take the initiative to fight against Daoist Xuanyuan for the sake of the Dao. At that time, we will have a chance to turn the tables."
Ji Zhuang thought for a moment and said, "It seems that Fellow Daoist already has a plan. Then who is Fellow Daoist going to summon?"
Xiang Jue smiled and said a Daoist name.
When Ji Zhuang heard this name, his expression froze. He glanced at Ji Zhuang. "This person …" He lowered his head and muttered to himself. After a long while, he said, "This matter needs to be considered at length."
Huan Shen Realm, on a barren mountain somewhere.
Hearing the young cultivator's explanation, Zhuo Qingqing was so angry that she wanted to curse.
How could she know that the demonic insects he mentioned were completely different from what she understood? However, the situation was critical now, and she did not have the mood or energy to pursue this matter.
She panted a few times and said, "Since Fellow Daoist knows what kind of method I am trapped in, can you undo the Divine Light of Accumulation on me?"
The young cultivator's expression was very relaxed and he still replied readily, "It is nothing."
He waved his sleeve and Zhuo Qingqing's body rippled with an ethereal aura. It then spread in all directions and quickly disappeared.
Zhuo Qingqing only felt the pressure on her heart disappear, but when she tried to circulate her magic power, she was shocked to find that her body was empty. Her magic power had disappeared, and the few strands that she had gathered using medicinal pills had also disappeared without a trace. She couldn't help but ask anxiously, "Why did my magic power disappear?"
The young cultivator said with his chest puffed out, "Oh, the Divine Light of Accumulation is mixed with mana. If an outsider wants to expel it, without the secret technique of the Huanzhen Temple, they can only eliminate the mana and get rid of the light. Don't worry, there is no Divine Light of Accumulation left in your body."
Hearing this, Zhuo Qingqing felt the world was spinning and she fell on the bed. She said bitterly, "You, you, hello …"
The young cultivator pondered for a while and said, "Yes, hello?"
Zhuo Qingqing was so angry that she couldn't speak. However, after the intense emotions, she gradually calmed down.
She couldn't blame this person. He was a total stranger to her, so why would he help her for no reason? It was already good enough that he helped her, so it was unreasonable for her to blame him.
At least he didn't mean any harm and didn't want anything from her. Otherwise, why would he be so polite to her? At most, he helped her out of kindness.
She sighed. It seemed that this was the will of the heavens. She reached out her hand and lovingly stroked her son's cheek. Then, she begged the young cultivator, "Fellow Daoist, could you help me this once and take my son away? You can take anything in my carriage as you please. "
The young cultivator grunted and walked forward. He took the baby from her arms and asked the child, "What is your name?"
The child replied with a childish voice, "My name is Zhuo Yu."
Zhuo Qingqing couldn't bear to see her child being taken away. She held back her reluctance and closed her eyes.
However, after waiting for a while, she didn't hear any movement. When she opened her eyes, she saw that the young cultivator was staring at Zhuo Yu without blinking. She couldn't tell what he was thinking.
She was shocked and became nervous. She thought to herself, "Could it be that this person has discovered something strange about my child?"
She was afraid that this person would really discover something, so she urged, "Fellow Daoist, quickly take your things and leave. There's an enemy chasing after me and he might come at any time. I'm afraid it'll be too late to leave …"
The young cultivator didn't answer. His expression was solemn as he stared at Zhuo Yu. It looked like he was thinking about a matter of life and death.
Zhuo Qingqing felt even more uneasy. After waiting for a while, she couldn't help but ask with a trembling voice, "Is there something that Fellow Daoist can help me with?"
The young cultivator said in a deep voice, "I want to change his name."
Zhuo Qingqing was stunned and only reacted after a while. Although things weren't what she thought, she couldn't help but wonder if it was a mistake to hand this child over to this person.
However, she didn't have any other choice at this moment because danger was really right before her eyes. She urged anxiously once more. "Fellow Daoist, leave quickly. I'm really not joking. If that person comes, then all of us …"
Just at this moment, she heard a rumbling sound in the distance. Zhuo Qingqing's face turned pale and she turned to look. She saw a streak of light descending from the sky, and as the light dispersed, Academy Master Liu walked out. She couldn't help but feel a wave of despair in her heart, and she collapsed powerlessly.
When Academy Master Liu caught up to here and saw that there was actually a young cultivator standing beside Zhuo Qingqing, he unconsciously stopped in his tracks.
Although he believed that Zhuo Qingqing wouldn't tell others about the jade stone, it didn't prevent her from hiring a few helpers. In fact, he had been on guard against this matter ever since he came here. He originally thought that Zhuo Qingqing wouldn't do it, but after seeing the young cultivator, he was a little uncertain. Most importantly, he actually couldn't see through this person's background.
He also became cautious and didn't step forward. Instead, he cupped his hands in greeting from afar and said tentatively, "Fellow Daoist, you're too polite. May I know what's your relationship with this Fellow Daoist Zhuo?"
The young cultivator thought for a moment and said with uncertainty, "Debtor?"
"Debtor?"
Academy Master Liu's mind changed. It seemed that Zhuo Qingqing owed this person something. This matter was actually more troublesome, because usually, friends who seemed to be close to you would not necessarily stand up for you in times of danger. However, the debtor was different. If he killed Zhuo Qingqing, then the thing that she owed would definitely be transferred to him.
He felt that he couldn't be entangled in this matter, so he decided to use the name of his sect to pressure people. He said in a low voice, "I am Liu Pufeng, an elder of Huanzhen Temple. Fellow Daoist, do you know that this Fellow Daoist Zhuo behind you has been colluding with evil spirits for a long time? She is no longer a person of Dao. Today, I, Liu Pufeng, am using the name of my sect, and I hope that Fellow Daoist can give face to Huanzhen Temple and not interfere in this matter."
Zhuo Qingqing revealed a look of anger and struggled to speak, "Fellow Daoist, don't listen to his nonsense. The reason he is looking for me is because he covets a treasure that I have on me."
Academy Master Liu said righteously, "This woman is just quibbling. I did have my eyes on something on her, but that thing is the Source of Evil! I snatched it because I didn't want it to bring harm to the world! "
He looked at the young cultivator and said, "We eradicate evil, kill demons, and maintain the order of Dao. Even if we have to give up our bodies, we must do it!
He was the Academy Master of Huanzhen Temple for many years, so he didn't need to disguise his words. He seemed to be a righteous person, and anyone who heard him would be in awe.
The young cultivator's blood seemed to be boiling from his words, and he said, "That's right. It is our duty to maintain the order of Dao!"
Zhuo Qingqing's body trembled, and her face was pale.
Academy Master Liu didn't expect that he would be persuaded so easily. He was secretly happy and nodded, "Fellow Daoist, since you agree with my opinion, I believe you won't stop me from taking that thing from this woman, right?"
The young cultivator shook his head.
Academy Master Liu asked carefully, "Does Fellow Daoist have a different opinion?"
The young cultivator pondered, "I think it's better for me to maintain the order of Dao …"
