Turning the phoenix grid into a dragon! This was defying the heavens and changing one's fate!
If an ordinary Enlightened Master came, he would have to prepare for a long time. If he was not careful, he would suffer a backlash and be punished by the heavens!
However, Wu Ming comprehended the Great Dao and followed the will of the heavens and the people. What he took was the maxim of 'going with the flow to become a human, and going against the flow to become an immortal'. Using the Azure Sea Moon Pearl as a primer, he changed the universe in an instant, but it was natural and without any smoke or fire.
In fact, he had only used a little bit of his magical power. Compared to Sui Hou Zhu, it was really just a drop in the bucket, not worth mentioning.
"Is this … the legendary 'plucking a hair to benefit the world'?"
Wu Ming did not know whether to laugh or cry.
At this time, Wu Zhi seemed to have made up his mind. "After this is over, let's … get married! Take me as your wife! "
Marriage was an important matter. Even though she was an extraordinary woman, she still blushed when she talked about it. She explained in a soft voice, "I have a phoenix pattern on my body. Even though I have changed, there is still some light left in me. Moreover, as my husband, you can benefit from the fate of the South Phoenix County. It will be beneficial to your cultivation … Maybe I can even make you a Spiritual Master?"
"I can get married, but I can forget about the title of Enlightened Master. With my current rank, the entire Nan Feng County will decline if you make me an Enlightened Master …"
Wu Ming waved his hand. "I'm not being pretentious. It's just that we have sufficient luck right now, so we don't need it for now. Perhaps after you've unified Chu Feng and Nan Feng counties, you can confer me the title of Spiritual Master!"
Wu Qing was only a step away from becoming a Enlightened Master. As long as she was made an Enlightened Master, she might have a chance to break through.
At that time, the Wu Clan would have two Enlightened Masters. They would be one of the most powerful cultivation families in the entire Dazhou County.
"Okay!"
Wu Zhi, on the other hand, knew that once this night passed, the two of them would be bound together for good or ill, so he agreed without the slightest hesitation.
"Also … this time, Crown Prince Ding also brought some experts with him. However, I have already captured High Priest Zhou Yuanzhen. This is the information he gave me …"
Wu Ming handed over a letter.
Wu Zhi took it and a look of joy appeared on his face. "In the entire Nan Feng County, he is the only person I am wary of. Now that you have helped me get rid of him, you will definitely succeed!"
"This woman has an unyielding character. If an ordinary man were to marry her, I'm afraid there would be a great risk of her husband losing his discipline!"
After Wu Zhi left, Wu Ming looked at the ripples under the bridge and suddenly smiled, "It's just that as a man, if I can't even maintain the discipline of a husband, it's a bit too sad. I definitely won't do that!"
He was proficient in Taoism, but he could see that Wu Zhi had a strong character, or rather, a strong character. If her husband's fate was not good, or his character was weak, he would be fine in his early and middle years, but there would be trouble in his later years.
But to him, all of this was impossible.
"I, the Celestial Master, am very confident that he will become an Earth Immortal in the future. Even Wu Zhi's Dragon Luck was personally selected by me. It would be strange if he couldn't suppress it!"
Others relied on the general trend, but Wu Ming relied on his own extraordinary power to surpass it, and he even had a layer of mystery.
Moreover, this mighty power belonged to him and was not transferred to the outside world.
…
Yunping County.
A ray of starlight landed and turned into Wu Ming's figure.
"Is the Primordial Spirit of a Perfected One no different from a living person?"
Wu Qing was guarding outside the secret chamber. When she saw Wu Ming's Primordial Spirit enter, she could not help but be surprised.
In her eyes, whether it was Taoism or Qi and blood, Wu Ming's Primordial Spirit was no different from a normal person.
The Primordial Spirit was illusory Yin quality, but now it had a physical form, which surprised her.
"I'm like this for two reasons. Firstly, my Taoism skill is profound, and secondly, it's night time!"
Wu Ming shook his head. "Although I can hide from a Martial Arts Grandmaster now, if it's noon and under the scorching sun, I won't be able to hide from you … If I want my Primordial Spirit to be no different from a living person, I'm afraid I'll have to be a Celestial Master or even an Earth Immortal …"
"The path of cultivation is long and arduous …"
"Forget it. You've met Sister Wu Zhi. What do you think?"
Wu Qing rested her chin on her hands, looking curious.
"What else can I do? I directly touched her Dragon Meridian. I can see that her luck is at its strongest, like a dragon freed from its shackles, soaring into the sky. I'll definitely succeed this time! "
Wu Ming shrugged his shoulders.
"… Sister Wu Zhi is a person with great ambition. She's not inferior to men! She has the ambition to calm the chaotic world … Sigh … I'm starting to wonder if it's beneficial or detrimental for me to matchmake the two of you back then … "
"Whether it's beneficial or detrimental, it's nothing compared to the entire world."
Wu Ming's Primordial Spirit flashed and returned to his body, but his real body walked out of the secret chamber.
The higher his cultivation base, the more he felt how 'insignificant' he was!
Compared to the world of Dazhou, what was a mere Perfected One? Even the entire world of Dazhou was nothing compared to the Main Deity's Temple.
As long as he had enough time, he might be able to control the entire Main Deity's Temple and control the entire world. He might even be immortal and enjoy eternal transcendence.
Compared to that, even if the entire world of Dazhou was turned upside down, it would be a small matter.
"Brother … I'm very afraid. Your Dao now is similar to 'Supreme Oblivion' …"
Wu Qing's face suddenly showed a look of fear.
"If I really have feelings, why should I forget them? Don't worry, sister, this Supreme Oblivion is not the Dao that I chose … "
Wu Ming smiled faintly. His Dao was the heart of a Saint, moving with the world. He was not tired when he had emotions. It was not as simple as being able to forget emotions.
…
It was late at night.
In the governor's mansion in Nanfeng County, an oil lamp was still lit in the study room.
The lamp was made from the best whale oil. It had a refreshing fragrance and did not harm the eyes. It was very precious and many rich families liked to use it.
The Wu family had strict rules. Only the family head was allowed to use the lamp oil. Anyone else who touched it would be considered to have crossed the line and could be punished to death!
The person reading under the lamp was the family head of the Wu family, Wu Xiong!
He looked like a middle-aged man. His skin was smooth and his face was rosy. He had three long strands of beard that were black and shiny. It was obvious that he had taken good care of himself. There was an indescribable majesty between his brows. This was the unique temperament that he had cultivated after ruling over a county.
"Father! Zhi 'er requests to see you! "
At this moment, a voice came from outside.
"Come in!"
Wu Xiong raised his head and saw Wu Zhi in a lady's dress. He carried a bowl of soup and said softly, "I saw that the light in father's study room is still on. I was afraid that you would be tired, so I brought some ginseng soup!"
"Hehe … Alright!"
Wu Xiong felt slightly guilty when he saw his daughter's reaction. He picked up the porcelain spoon and took a sip. It was indeed delicious. As soon as it entered his stomach, he felt refreshed. He could not help but say, "This soup is not bad!"
"I cooked it myself …" Wu Zhi replied softly.
"You … Sigh …"
Wu Xiong sighed. He thought of how outstanding this girl was when she was young. It was all thanks to this girl that the Wu family was able to take over the county governor and develop to the current situation.
Thinking of what he and his two sons had done, it was indeed a little overboard. However, he hardened his heart. Although it has wronged you, it is for the good of my family. If you feel wronged, then so be it!
She immediately said, "Very good. In the future, when you marry the crown prince of Marquis Ding, you should also do the same. You should take good care of your husband and children!"
As soon as these words came out, Wu Zhi's body trembled. Wu Xiong could not bear to see this, but his heart turned cold.
"Father … the crown prince of Marquis Ding, Shi Yue, looks like gold and jade on the outside, but he is rotten on the inside. His misdeeds in Ding Yuan County are all well-documented. Do you really want to push me into the fire pit?"
Wu Zhi straightened his back and placed a stack of papers in front of Wu Xiong.
Wu Xiong took a quick look. The first one was about what Shi Yue did on a certain year, month, and day. Whether it was wantonly beating a servant to death or riding a horse to injure someone, there were witnesses and material evidence. It did not seem to be fake.
"Bastard!"
He fiercely slammed the desk, the target of his anger was Wu Zhi, "As the saying goes, the orders of the parents and the words of the matchmaker! What right do you have to speak? Furthermore, you dare to investigate the privacy of your future husband. You really have guts. Do you know that you have already committed a great taboo! In the future, when you marry into the Shi family, you better put away all these thoughts and be a peaceful bride. Isn't that good? "
"Ah? Father's actions, isn't it to use your daughter as a bargaining chip in exchange for Marquis Ding's support to attack Chu Feng County? Then didn't Marquis Ding promise to recommend Father to the imperial court as a military governor? Or even be conferred the title of a marquis? "
Wu Zhi sneered, "My two brothers also did their best to talk about the pros and cons, which made Father want to sell your daughter! However, I am afraid that the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Father's actions are completely benefiting others. In the future, it will be too late to regret! "
"Rebel! Rebel! "
Wu Xiong fiercely threw the Gu soup on the ground. As the patriarch of a feudal family, being contradicted by his daughter like this, even he could not stand it. He was fuming with anger.
Of course, he would not admit it even if he died. His daughter had seen through all the hidden expectations and worries in his heart. The more guilty he felt, the more furious he became.
"Eh? Something's wrong! "
At this moment, he finally discovered something different.
If it was a normal day, such a commotion would have caused servants to come. But now, it was extremely quiet. Wu Xiong had been the family head for a long time and naturally sensed something was wrong. He suddenly exclaimed, "You … you …"
"I have already obtained the loyalty of the county soldiers. Tomorrow, we will open the ancestral hall. Lord Father, please hand over the position of the family head to me!"
Wu Zhi said with a cold expression. Suddenly, he clapped his hands.
A few armoured generals came in and kowtowed, calling her Young Miss. They did not even spare a glance at Wu Xiong.
They were all generals with real power in Nan Feng County. There were even a few Wu family elders among them. Wu Xiong's limbs turned cold when he saw them. He knew that the situation was hopeless. His face turned pale as he collapsed on the chair.
"Unfilial … unfilial daughter … what did you do to your two brothers?"
"Father, don't worry. Your daughter will not go against human relations and kill my father and brothers. I just want you to live out the rest of your lives together. Father and my two brothers will be blessed for a long time. If you can maintain a calm heart, you will definitely have good fortune in the future!"
Wu Zhi did not look at Wu Xiong again and walked out of the study room.
"Greetings to the family head!"
Outside, a group of armoured soldiers knelt down and kowtowed.
"Very good! Go and guard the four main roads. Do not panic. Once the hundreds of officials pay their respects to you tomorrow, the situation will be settled! "
Wu Zhi rubbed his brows. "Also, detain Marquis Ding's heir and his group. Put Shi Yue under house arrest. Send the rest to jail. If they resist, kill them immediately!"
