Inside the palace in the wasteland, Liao Ling gritted his teeth and cultivated alone.
Kuai Jing had already left, saying that he was going to help his fellow sect members.
He thought that after this person left, he would be able to relax a bit, but he didn't expect Kuai Jing to place a talisman on each of the statues before he left. He said that if he could return early, he would remove the talisman for him. If he returned late, he would have to rely on himself to deal with it.
However, the problem was that this talisman required a certain level of cultivation before it could be solved. Compared to the current situation, he needed to increase his cultivation a little more before he could do this. This forced him to cultivate day and night. Otherwise, if Kuai Jing returned late, these statues would all be gone.
More than ten days later, a flying ship appeared in the sky and landed in front of the palace. Kuai Jing walked out.
After Liao Ling noticed this, he happily ran up and said, "Senior Brother Kuai, you're finally back. Can you quickly remove the talisman for me?"
Kuai Jing looked at him and saw that his cultivation had improved. He was pleased and said, "Junior Brother, you're very diligent. It seems that this method is very good."
Liao Ling's heart tightened and he said, "Senior Brother, what do you mean?"
Kuai Jing said sincerely, "It's better for you to remove the talisman yourself. It will help you more."
Liao Ling said anxiously, "Senior Brother, how can you go back on your words!"
Kuai Jing smiled and said, "Junior Brother, the more you argue with me, the less time you have to cultivate and the faster the talisman will activate."
When Liao Ling heard this, he was terrified and didn't dare to talk to him anymore. He quickly ran back to cultivate and didn't even greet Shen Chengan who came out of the flying ship.
Shen Chengan also heard the conversation. He looked at Liao Ling's crazy cultivation and couldn't help but feel pity for him.
Kuai Jing said, "Junior Brother Shen, Junior Brother Liao is working very hard. You have to be diligent too."
Shen Chengan chuckled. He thought, "What can you do if I don't cultivate?"
He looked at the statues around him. Although Liao Ling treated them like treasures, he didn't care. If he didn't cultivate, would Kuai Jing kill him? He was sure that the latter would not do that. Otherwise, there would be no point in bringing him all the way here.
Kuai Jing didn't say anything about letting him get used to it. From the moment he got off the flying boat, he had already arranged for him to cultivate there.
However, after a few days, Kuai Jing felt very dissatisfied and said seriously, "Junior Brother, your progress is too slow."
Shen Chengan said, "Is that so? I can't do anything about it. Who asked me to have such a poor aptitude? " On the way here, he had already made up his mind. He would not resist, and although he agreed verbally, he would not cooperate.
Kuai Jing thought for a moment and said, "I understand."
"Hmm?"
Kuai Jing said solemnly, "It must be that the place is not suitable for cultivation. Junior Brother, you're proficient in the Blazing Sun Technique. There's an Earth Fire Pit not far from here. I feel that it's very suitable for Junior Brother's cultivation."
Shen Chengan secretly sneered. So what if it was a fire pit? With his abilities, a mere Earth Fire would not be able to do anything to him. It would be better for him to go elsewhere.
He said, "Alright, I feel that it's not bad. Let's go take a look."
Kuai Jing immediately led him to open the palace and headed northwest. As expected, after traveling for a thousand miles, they saw a fire pit. Thick smoke billowed in the sky, covering the sun. On the ground, scorching hot lava flowed down from the top of the fire pit.
Shen Cheng 'an treated the thick smoke and hot rocks as though they were nothing. He landed gracefully and stood by the fire. He waved his hand and said, "I'll go down now. Shixiong, you don't have to look after me. I can cultivate here myself."
As he spoke, he took a step forward and slowly floated down. He sank into the sticky rock flow that was filled with bubbles and scorching light, and sat down here safely.
Although the environment here was not very good, he did not need to work hard. For a naturally lazy person like him, just sitting there without moving could last for decades or even centuries. He had the patience to waste time with Kuai Jing. The only regret was that he could not satisfy his appetite.
He originally thought that Kuai Jing would leave after arranging things for him, but after that, he discovered that Kuai Jing was walking around. At first, he did not pay much attention to it, but after a while, he suddenly felt his surroundings become hot.
He felt that something was wrong. With his cultivation, a mere rock flow would not cause such an effect on him. He could not help but ask, "Senior Brother, what are you doing?"
Kuai Jing's voice came down from above, "Junior Brother, I understand, everyone is different, Junior Brother Liao only needs to sit down and cultivate, but you are not used to this, so I am prepared to use the 'Golden Sun True Fire' that I collected to let Junior Brother fight against it, thus forcing out Junior Brother's potential and allowing you to cultivate better."
"Golden Sun True Fire?" Shen Chengan immediately panicked, and said: "No, actually, I can also sit down and cultivate, I think this is pretty good …"
Kuai Jing said, "I know it will be difficult at the beginning, but Junior Brother, don't worry, I will do my best to help you. You will quickly adapt."
"Help me my ass!" You're harming me!
Shen Chengan immediately cursed in his heart. He immediately flew up and said: "Senior Brother, I think this place is Madam Yan, let's change places …"
However, when he reached the top, he was shocked to find that there was a layer of Dharma Power Restriction in front of him, and he could not rush out at all. He tried several times but failed.
He shouted a few times, but he found that there was no response from outside. It turned out that during this period of time, Kuai Jing had used Dharma Power Restriction to isolate him from the outside. He was now sealed in this place.
His heart trembled. Kuai Jing was so ruthless, forcing him to cultivate. Moreover, the surrounding heat was getting stronger and stronger. If he did not try to circulate his Dharma Power, he would not be able to endure it.
He quickly calmed his mind and circulated his Dharma Power to dissolve it, but he cursed in his heart: "Just you wait, let's see how long you can keep me here."
Shen Chengan was a person who cultivated in seclusion, and no one paid attention to him. However, he was different. He had a job in Xuanfu, and as long as he disappeared for a few days, someone would definitely come to find him. By then, he would be released.
In the inner hall, Zhang Yu was flipping through a Daoist book to verify himself. At this moment, his heart trembled slightly, and he felt that the sea of clouds outside was surging. The staff on duty seemed to be a little uneasy. He asked: "What's going on outside?"
The staff on duty entered and reported: "Reporting to Shouzheng, there's news just now. I heard that the Exalted Zhengqing has returned to Xuanting."
After pausing for a while, he said excitedly: "Not long after the Exalted Zhengqing returned, the people from Shangchen who were confronting me started to retreat. Some people said that the Shangchen people were afraid of the Exalted Zhengqing's reputation, and that's why they retreated."
Zhang Yu thought about it and nodded slightly: "I understand, you may leave."
The staff on duty bowed and retreated.
Zhang Yu pondered for a while. Daoist Feng had already told him that the Xuanting had summoned Zhengqing back.
Back then, Zhengqing proposed to exterminate Xuanting, and his intention was contrary to the Xuanting. Therefore, he was exiled for more than two hundred years. Although he had returned now, his Daoist intention would not be changed so easily.
However, Tianxia had to gather all the forces that could be gathered in the face of a common enemy. In the face of a common enemy, these internal conflicts could be put aside first. He believed that Zhengqing would know what to do.
However, it was a joke to say that Shangchen retreated because of their fear of Zhengqing. Shangchen even dared to invade Tianxia, why would they be afraid of one person?
This time, Shang Chen Tian was obviously here to cooperate with the Yuandu lineage. When he saw that the Yuandu lineage had been successfully pacified and did not have any impact on Tianxia, he knew that this matter could not be done, so he retreated.
As for Zhengqing's choice to return at this time, it was unknown whether it was intentional or not.
After he thought about it, he did not care about these things. He continued to flip through the Daoist books so that he could create one or two suitable supernatural powers before the war.
At this moment, he was flipping through the Daoist books of the Yuandu Sect that Zhan Kong gave him. There were some differences between them and the Xuanting collection. Many of them were from the ancient Xia era, and there were even some evil techniques listed in them.
This was because evil techniques also contained a kind of principle. Even if one did not use it, one had to understand the changes in it. If one encountered an enemy who used this technique, one would be able to deal with it.
Moreover, from the obscure words, the origin of many of the techniques here was suspected to be from the Huanyang school that was once exiled.
This made him pay more attention to it, because this sect might very well be an important opponent that Tianxia or himself had to face in the future.
On the other side, as the cultivators of Shangchen retreated from the confrontation with Tianxia, Daoist Feng was once again invited to the palace by Lingdu Daoist.
Lingdu Daoist said to him, "Envoy Feng, I know that the matter of Yuandu was resolved very smoothly, but I think that you resolved it a little too quickly."
Daoist Feng could tell that he was not being sarcastic, and asked cautiously, "What do you mean by that?"
Lingdu Daoist said, "For your side to be able to resolve the internal problems so quickly, it is a good thing for your side, but at the same time, it is also not a good thing. Because the matter was resolved too smoothly and too easily, it will cause many people in Shangchen to be more vigilant and alert against your side. Instead, it is more likely that they will take a dangerous path. When the time comes, I might not be able to stop them from doing what they want to do."
Daoist Feng's expression became more serious, and said, "Are you saying that after this, they will try to take that step?"
Lingdu Daoist said faintly, "I will try my best to mediate and delay the arrival of this battle. This is also the only thing I can promise, I hope that your side will understand."
Solemnly, Daoist Feng bowed and said, "Thank you, Venerable One." Seeing that Lingdu had no intention to speak further, he excused himself and left.
After he left, a disciple walked in. He cupped his fists and bowed, saying, "Teacher, this disciple has heard something." As he spoke, he sent a voice transmission.
After Lingdu Daoist heard this, his eyes flickered slightly, and said, "Oh? Did you ask for the details? "
That disciple said respectfully, "I did, but Ying Xuan Zun refused to say. He only said that he will give you a satisfactory answer when the time comes."
Lingdu Daoist said, "What exactly is Ying Chong planning? He even wants to hide it from us. Forget it, since Guyang and Tian Hong are not asking, then I won't meddle, let him be for now."
