In the Void World Domain, Ceng Yi sat on the cattail hassock and looked at the spiritual essence fruit placed in front of him. The fruit's outer skin was smooth and full, wrapped in a layer of green luster. Just by looking at it, one would have the urge to take a bite out of it.
However, this fruit was not used to satisfy one's appetite, but was used for cultivation.
He did not expect Tianxia not to keep this fruit, but to actually give it to him.
With this fruit, there was hope for him.
The first thought that came to his mind was that after he succeeded, he would not have to bear the threat of being slapped to death by Chao Huan the next time he faced him.
Ni Bao said from the side, "Although not everyone in Tianxia is friendly to Shaolang, no one would refuse to give you this. Tianxia is much more generous than Yuan Xia."
Ceng Yi said stubbornly, "This is caused by my fate."
Ni Bao slapped him and said, "Shaolang, you shouldn't believe in fate too much. If you do, you'll only entrust your success to the will of the heavens. This is not a good thing for us cultivators. If the will of the heavens doesn't favor you one day, will you deny your achievements?"
Ceng Yi might not listen to what others said, but he listened to what Ni Bao said.
Moreover, he did not think that his success was caused by fate. At least, he did not believe that a Daoist companion like Ni Bao was sent to him by the will of the heavens. He fought for it personally. However, he had no background and no one was willing to acknowledge him. Therefore, he could only rely on the fate of the Heavenly Axiom to be his endorsement.
Others also fell for this trick. No matter how powerful you are, can you be more powerful than the Heavenly Axiom? Even Yuan Xia worshipped the Heavenly Axiom in private before she suppressed it. He was used to using this method for a long time, so he could not change it all of a sudden.
He said seriously, "Ni Bao, I understand. If fate is really successful, I just have to lie down and let fate cultivate for me. Why do I have to work so hard?"
Ni Bao rolled her eyes at him and said, "You wish."
Ceng Ju said, "That's right, I can only think about it. Luck is the help of the heavens, and if there is no one to guide it, it naturally won't work. And if I don't work hard, my luck can change hands. All these years, I've been walking on thin ice, and I'm very worried that my luck will leave me."
He smiled bitterly and said, "That Zhenren Tianxia doesn't care about fate. Instead, I'm relieved that I don't have to shoulder such a heavy burden."
At this moment, a voice came from outside, "Zeng Zhenren, Xuanting has sent a book. He said it's for the two of you."
"Book? For us? "
The two of them looked at each other and Ni Bao walked out. Not long after, she returned with a scroll in her hand. She opened it and flipped through it. After a while, her expression couldn't help but become serious.
Ceng Chan asked, "What does it say?"
After Ni Bao finished reading it, she handed it to Ceng Ju and said, "Shaolang, you should take a look at this book."
Ceng Ju took it curiously and found that it was a book about the comparison of the different styles of Yuanxia and Tianxia, the causes, and even the changes in the past. Moreover, it was seen from the perspective of a person at the bottom of Yuanxia.
There had never been such a book in Yuanxia before. Of course, at his age, he put all his energy into cultivation and didn't have the time to read other books.
However, he was able to study Dao, so his mind was clear. After reading it from the perspective of a person at the bottom of Yuanxia, he only felt a chill down his spine.
From the book, he could see that some people at the bottom of Yuanxia were more than just desperate. It would be good if they were raised like livestock for thousands of generations. When Yuanxia reached the end of Dao and replaced the Dao of Heaven with their own Dao, there would be no need for any changes. Perhaps there would be no need for people at all.
He himself was also from the bottom, so when he read this book, he also felt sad.
One had to know that he looked ordinary in the beginning. If it wasn't for his outstanding aptitude when he was in his teens and seemed to be favored by fate, he wouldn't have been able to make a name for himself.
Therefore, he had memories of what happened before he was in his teens, unlike other people who were taken away when they were born. However, he didn't want to think about it until this book pointed it out.
He took a deep breath. Speaking of which, he didn't even know who his parents were. He was raised separately from the moment he was born. This kind of behavior that violated human relations made everyone less human. Even if he cultivated Dao, he wouldn't feel that there was anything wrong with it.
Some cultivators were mistreated at the bottom, but when they really stepped into the door, they consciously protected this set of things because they benefited from it.
However, he was an exception. His mood swings and inner feelings were much richer than ordinary people. It seemed that he was really influenced by fate, so he didn't forget his human side.
He endured the discomfort in his heart and finished reading the book with his scalp tingling. In the end, he closed the book and raised his head. It took him a while to recover.
The book didn't say anything too profound, but he could understand what it was really talking about. He also understood the principles behind it.
He was silent for a while. He looked at the spiritual essence fruit on the table and couldn't help but sigh, "There's no justice if Yuanxia doesn't die."
When he said this, he seemed to have touched something in an instant. He only felt his mind become clear. He suddenly realized, was this his Dao?
He sat in silence for a while, and the aura on his body rose steadily.
He stared at the two items on the table, and his heart was slightly complicated. Among the things that Tianxia sent today, perhaps the most important thing wasn't the spiritual essence fruit, but the book on the table. Moreover, he did owe Tianxia a favor.
Taking advantage of this rising aura, he decided to cultivate and strive to entrust his divine aura as soon as possible.
However, before that …
He thought for a while, took out the crystal jade, and said to Ni Bao, "Since Tianxia is benevolent and righteous to me, I can't be a villain in vain."
Ni Bao said, "Shaolang, you can do whatever you want. Just follow your heart."
Zeng Zhan nodded. He called outside and waited for a Xuanxiu disciple who was guarding outside to come in. He said, "Please tell the higher-ups of Tianxia that I have an urgent matter to pass on."
When the cultivator heard him, he said, "Xuan Zun, please wait for a moment. I'll pass on the message right away."
Zeng Zhan looked at the cultivator's retreating figure and said, "Ni Bao, did you notice? In the past, I didn't notice that the disciples under Tianxia are neither servile nor overbearing when they treat us. They're different from Yuanxia."
Ni Bao stared at him and said, "Shaolang, you're different. If you can see this, it means that you're different from before. "
Less than an hour later, a light shone from outside into the hall. Dai Tingzhi's incarnation came here. He stood in the light and asked, "I heard that the two of you have urgent matters to report?"
Zeng Zhan composed himself and took out the crystal jade, saying, "This was given to me by a superior cultivator from Yuanxia before I left. It was also him who asked me to find a way to enter Tianxia."
He came down and told him what the shadow told him. In the end, he said, "This person said that I can find what I want in Tianxia and achieve the upper state here. However, I feel that since Tianxia is honest with me, I can't do such dirty things."
Dai Tingzhi looked at him for a moment and took the crystal jade, saying, "Xuan Zun, it's good for you and Tianxia that you can be honest with these things. Your aura is rising. It seems that your opportunity has arrived. Come down and cultivate here in peace. "
Zeng Zhan bowed to him. Ni Bao also bowed to him.
Dai Tingzhi also bowed. Then, his figure slowly dissipated. The light outside also dissipated.
After he left, Zeng Zhan informed Ni Bao and entered the back hall to cultivate in seclusion.
Not long after Dai Tingzhi took the crystal jade away, it was placed on Zhang Yu's desk. He could tell what it was through Dai Tingzhi's description.
However, he was thinking about how to make use of it.
Currently, he was a pacifier in Yuanxia. However, Yuanxia was still unclear about the internal affairs of Tianxia. This was both a good and bad thing. He needed to tell Yuanxia that there were also hardliners in Tianxia. Therefore, he was also under a lot of pressure.
This opportunity came at the right time.
He informed Daoist Ming Zhou and left the Dao Palace. He took a flying carriage and finally landed on a cloud platform. Not long after, Daoist You also arrived. He bowed to him and said, "What business does Zhang Tingzhi have with this old Daoist?"
Zhang Yu told him about what he had done recently and said, "Although Yu is pretending to be polite with Yuanxia, without a direct confrontation, Yuanxia won't know about my 'difficulties'. I want to give them some information. Even I have many obstacles in Tianxia. The main reason is that there are people who often disagree with me."
Daoist You understood and said, "Tingzhi, you want me to be this person?"
Zhang Yu said, "Daoist You once went to Yuanxia with me. However, we stayed in one place and didn't leave. Yuanxia knows about you, but they don't know much about you. They only know that you have a status.
Daoist You's actions in Yuanxia seem to be hostile towards Yuanxia. Then, Daoist You will bear this title. In the future, Daoist You will be the representative of Yuanxia's pro-war faction. Don't worry, Daoist You don't need to do anything unnecessary. It also won't delay your study of formations. You just need to say a few words on appropriate occasions. "
After a pause, he said, "The only drawback here is that Yuanxia's Yuan Shang Hall will hate Daoist You and want to get rid of you."
Daoist You thought for a moment and said frankly, "Since Tingzhi wants me to be this person, then I will do it. I just need to say a few words."
He joked and said, "Tingzhi's words aren't necessarily true. Although the Hall of Yuan Shang Hall's ministers hate me, the Hall of Yuan Shang Hall's ministers will praise me. It's not like I don't have people who like me."
Zhang Yu could not help but laugh inwardly. He said, "Fellow Daoist You, it seems like you're not concerned about the affairs of the outside world. At least, you're well aware of the conflict in Yuan Xia. I'll leave this matter to you."
Daoist You smiled bitterly and shook his head. How did he become the biggest pro-war faction in Tianxia when he was a person who studied formations?
