Although they were enemies, if Yan Zhaoge were to put himself in Jiang Shen's shoes, it would be quite tiring to put himself in Jiang Shen's shoes.
Not to mention the Exalted Solar Luminary – Gao Han. In the past, he was Jiang Shen's biggest enemy.
The Exalted Rahu Luminary – Jian Shunhua was famous for being arbitrary and doing things her own way. Who knew when she would cause a huge commotion.
The Exalted Lunar Luminary – Ling Qing didn't reveal herself all year round. She seemed to be much more stable than Gao Han and Jian Shunhua. However, rumors had it that she was also someone with her own ideas. Although she would advance and retreat together with Gao Han, Gao Han wouldn't dare to say that he could control all of her actions.
The Exalted Fire – Suo Mingzhang had a loner personality. However, in comparison, his personality was more passive, and he was more interested in cultivating.
Jiang Shen didn't have to worry about him having his own ideas. However, correspondingly, no one could command Suo Mingzhang.
The only exception might be the Exalted Wood – Shao Junhuang. However, Shao Junhuang and Jiang Shen had different opinions on the general direction.
The Exalted Gold Luminary – Yan Xintang was like a sword. He would rather break than bend. Sometimes, he was even more of a headache for Jiang Shen than Gao Han and Shao Junhuang.
The Exalted Water – Chen Xuanzong could be said to be the calmest person among the New Kunlun Nine Luminaries. However, due to his calmness, he didn't care about anything big or small. He didn't have a clear stance.
He cared about the revival of orthodox Daoism. Only, he wasn't biased towards the North Star Emperor and the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor.
However, he was close friends with the Exalted Gold Luminary – Yan Xintang. In the past, he joined the World beyond Worlds' establishment because of Yan Xintang.
Just like how Shao Junhuang might influence Suo Mingzhang, Yan Xintang would influence Chen Xuanzong's decisions when he was still alive.
It was only after Yan Xintang's death that Chen Xuanzong's stance became neutral once again. When Jiang Shen asked for his help, Chen Xuanzong would usually lend a helping hand if he was able to. However, it was extremely difficult to expect him to go all out and risk his life for Jiang Shen.
As for the Exalted Concealed Luminary – Yang Ce, there was no need to mention him.
Yan Zhaoge felt that Jiang Shen would feel depressed whenever he thought of the Concealed Sovereign.
The new Kunlun Nine Luminaries of the past had all been outstanding geniuses who had illuminated the post-Great Calamity era together, becoming the first radiance of Daoism once more.
However, it was unknown whether it was true that the more talented they were, the more individualistic they were. None of them were easy to deal with, so in the end, they parted ways.
At the same time, it made people sigh, but it also seemed inevitable.
"Someone like the Exalted Earth Luminary might often reflect on his actions, but it's impossible for him to be shaken so easily." Yan Zhaoge waved his hands, "While we are enemies, I have to admit that those who have weathered so many trials and tribulations have wills that surpass the imagination of ordinary people. The more isolated and helpless they are, the more tenacious they may instead be."
Hearing this, Ah Hu gave a silly smile, "Having been tricked by the Exalted Solar Luminary like this, would he become overly suspicious and no longer trust anyone other than himself?"
Yan Zhaoge shrugged, "That would be very hard to say."
After chatting for a while, Ah Hu and Xiao Ai also continued to sit cross-legged, absorbing the essence of the Core Qi and cultivating.
Yan Zhaoge and Feng Yunsheng were strolling in the forest.
"Although I've gone to the Buddhism's Blessed Lands Cosmos with you and went to the world called the Obscured Way World, if not for this trip to the Nine Underworlds, I wouldn't have known that the Immortal Court existed in this world." As Feng Yunsheng walked, she sighed and said, "There's also that Immeasurable Heavenly Lord. It's truly unimaginable."
Yan Zhaoge squinted his eyes, "There might be many reasons behind this. Only, the clues we have on hand are limited. No matter how much we try to guess, it's like a blind man trying to feel an elephant."
He said softly, "During the Great Calamity, there were many things that we aren't clear about."
After a slight pause, Yan Zhaoge added, "Actually, there are many things that we aren't sure about. We can only guess."
"The White Deer Demon, whose strength is equivalent to our Daoism's Heavenly Monarch, appeared and searched for the Pill Hall. Not only did the White Faced Fox Race be involved, the Jade Faced Fox Race and the Bull Demon were also brought along. This faintly indicates that the White Deer Demon might not have come out alone."
Instead, it was the Demon Race that had been keeping a low profile after the Journey to the West era. After recuperating, they wanted to make a move.
"The Immortal Court, the Blessed Lands, and now, the Demon Race has reappeared. The situation is very chaotic." Yan Zhaoge said, "Even if the Nine Underworlds is hated by everyone most of the time, there might be a temporary cooperation between them."
No one had neglected the existence of the Nine Underworlds.
Even the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor and the North Star Emperor didn't forget about the Nine Underworlds during the difficult era after the Great Calamity.
Otherwise, the Exalted Rahu Luminary – Jian Shunhua wouldn't have made her move.
Only, Yan Zhaoge couldn't be sure if she had been targeting the Doomsday Heavenly Devil from the start, or if Jian Shunhua had suddenly changed her original plan halfway through their journey.
Feng Yunsheng nodded silently, "Speaking of the Nine Underworlds …"
"When the heretics cultivate, they would borrow the treasured lights and Buddha lights. Not only would they improve quickly." She stopped and turned around to look at Yan Zhaoge, "Moreover, they might even reach a height that they couldn't reach with their cultivation?"
Yan Zhaoge also stopped and nodded, "That's right. The situation differs from person to person. The more ordinary a person is, the better the effects would be."
It wasn't only because of Suo Mingzhang, Chen Xuanzong, Yue Zhenbei, and the others' explanation. In order to search for Suo Mingzhang, Yan Zhaoge had kept a low profile and traversed through many worlds of the Immortal Court.
When he first arrived at the Blessed Lands of Buddhism, in order to search for the path back to the Dao universe, other than the Obscured Way World, he had also traversed many worlds of the Blessed Lands.
Yan Zhaoge had personally interacted with many heretic martial art practitioners. Their cultivations were either high or low. In the same scriptures, he had recorded the situation of the Buddhism martial art practitioners that existed before the Great Calamity. He was already very familiar with this aspect.
For those who could only reach the tenth level of the Martial Saint Realm, they might be able to push open the Immortal Door if they joined the heretics.
For those who could only reach the tenth level of the Martial Grandmaster Realm, they might be able to reach the Martial Saint Realm or even higher if they joined the heretics.
Of course, it wouldn't be much higher. Only, if one's foundation wasn't strong, the increase in their upper limit might be higher.
"In the past, when I was in the Eight Extremities World, the chaos caused by the Decimating Abyss Organization was still fresh in my memory." Feng Yunsheng recalled and said, "Many senior experts had also fallen into the Devil's Dao, and their chastity couldn't be guaranteed."
"They were enticed by the Nine Underworlds Decimating Abyss, and the reason why devilish intent was born was because their lifespan was almost up, and they had no hope of improving. In order to escape from the arrival of their lifespan, they entered the Devil's Dao and took a risk to break through their current cultivation realm, which would increase their lifespan."
Feng Yunsheng frowned slightly, "Say, do you think that there would be people willing to join the heretics and be enlightened?"
