As Lou Xiaoyi left the Great Freedom Hall, he already had a plan in mind.
If he was the leader, he would perform well; if he was the one being ordered, he would follow the rules and do nothing; after all, he was a few hundred years old, he still understood the ways of the world.
Give suggestions? Give advice? If he was wrong, the responsibility would be on him, and he would be judged as a domineering and willful person who did not listen to good advice; if he was right, the credit would belong to someone else, and he would have to endure all kinds of suppression!
Why would he find trouble with this? Little Shajia Continent was not his, he could do whatever he wanted!
There was nothing to prepare, so he went straight to the road. He chose the crack passage because he wanted to discover something through frequent use over a long period of time. After all, the crack passage was the only known way to return to the Blue Sky Exile Grounds.
Little Shajia Continent was a very ordinary continent, no different from the other 3,000 unorthodox continents. It had no special features, whether it was the scenery or the people. The reason why Taoism and Buddhism fought so hard over it was because it was coincidentally located in the center of the connecting line between the two Upper Sects. What did it mean to occupy it? It meant nothing!
It could not be used as a bridgehead for attack, nor could it provide any substantial help to either side. More importantly, it was a psychological problem.
From Lou Xiaoyi's point of view, this could be one of the few ways Zhou Xian could train their disciples in the Upper Realm, just like the Fifth Ring.
The sects on Little Shajia Continent were also supported by the Yuanying, but there were not many of them, and their strength might be on the weaker side. Similarly, they would not participate in the fight between Taoism and Buddhism over Little Shajia Continent. This was the smartest way, no matter which side they sided with, they would attract the dissatisfaction of the other side. Therefore, it was to sit on the fence openly and brazenly.
This was a rule that had been passed down for tens of thousands of years. Who was more widely spread Buddhism on Little Shajia Continent? Or Taoism had more followers!
Of course, all kinds of scheming and scheming against each other, so much so that it was inevitable for them to meet on the battlefield occasionally.
It was not an arena battle between twenty Daoist and Buddhist disciples, it was too superficial!
On the Taoist side, there were a few carefree Jin Dan monks who were unable to bear the defeat of their believers, so they turned the literary fight into a martial fight. Unfortunately, their own strength was not enough, so they were pressed to the ground by the well-prepared monks. Two of them were tortured to death. This was the reason why Lou Xiaoyi was sent to Shaka.
The other one was a member of the Free and Unfettered Sect. The so-called Red Root Seedlings had long since walked in front of Lou Xiaoyi. Lou Xiaoyi was a substitute that Daoist Master Zhao found from Junior Brother Mo because he really couldn't find a suitable Jin Dan. Because he didn't know the specific ability, character, and loyalty, he didn't dare to send more foreign defectors like him.
In other words, in terms of background, among the ten Jin Dan in Shajia Little Continent, his status was the lowest. This was the reason why he had to be a bystander.
'That's fine too. I'm just idling around anyways. I don't need to bear the main responsibility. If the sect wants to punish me, I'll have someone stronger to shoulder the blame!'
Brother Fan Tong? Why did this name sound so familiar?
It was very close to Shaka Little Continent through the crack. It was only a two-day journey, and this was under the condition that it was not good to run at full speed inside the crack.
Inside the crack, there were cultivators crisscrossing, rushing to different destinations. Unless they were familiar with each other, most of them just nodded in greeting. This was the territory of the Free and Unfettered Wanderers. Most of the people coming and going were fellow disciples, so there was no need to worry about safety.
But when he approached the exit, a monk flew in front of him.
The two met at the exit. They were both civilized people and were very polite.
"Bald donkey, please!" Lou Xiaoyi bowed.
"Mixed hair, please!" The monk put his palms together.
Lou Xiaoyi took a step back. "This poor Daoist is Free and Unfettered One Ear, a virtuous master. How dare I be first?"
The monk retreated a few feet. "This poor monk is Ten Thousand Buddha Green Eyebrows, and has always respected morality. Of course, I am willing to be second!"
Lou Xiaoyi retreated again. "Free and Unfettered, why are you so suspicious? There are gods three feet above your head. Won't the gods protect the body behind your head? "
Green Eyebrows retreated again. "Ten thousand Buddhas are merciful. Why are you so paranoid? There are gods three feet above your head. Even the gods are wary of villains! "
At the exit of the crack, when a cultivator was about to leave, there was a possibility of being sneak attacked by the cultivators behind. The key was that you couldn't fight back because part of the cultivator's body had already gone outside. The rules tacitly allowed that you could only go forward. If you wanted to come back, you could only come back after completely leaving!
There was no such thing as sticking your head out of the crack while your body was in the crack!
Therefore, most lone travelers would be very concerned about whether or not there was anyone beside them when they went out. It was fine if it was their friends and family, but if there were strangers, especially those who were obviously hostile to them, they would definitely not be the first to leave.
The time taken to leave was very short, but for cultivators of their level, it was more than enough time to sneak attack once.
This was not the time to have noble character and unquestionable integrity. It was very dangerous to develop such a habit. The profession of cultivator was also far from being as noble as the mortal world thought.
As for after leaving, the people who came later did not have to worry about being attacked by those who went out first. This was not a problem because there were cultivators guarding the crack entrance of every continent. There was no chance to attack.
The two of them pretended to be calm until they retreated to a safe distance. Then, the monk floated forward, saying that there was an intruder, and went out. Lou Xiaoyi paused for a moment. When he went out, there was no trace of the monk.
There were two Jin Dan guarding the crack entrance. They were both local cultivators. This was also the rule of the upper realm of Zhou Xian. It was impossible to allow Free and Unfettered or Ten Thousand Buddhas to interfere. That would be crossing the line.
"Is that monk also here to cause trouble in Shajia?" Lou Xiaoyi asked casually.
The two local Jin Dan were embarrassed. What was the difference between them and him? However, they did not dare to say that out loud. They were both masters of the sect. It was not good to offend them.
"That's right. Buddhism replaced a few people. It's different from Taoism adding two people!"
Lou Xiaoyi thanked him politely and leaped up. He looked in a certain direction and flew away. His primary mission here was to find the organization before anything else. This was not a place where he could play the hero alone.
Looking down from the sky, the topography of Shajia was in his eyes. Similar to Red Hill, this was a small continent of two to three thousand miles. The topography was very simple. It was mainly plains with few mountains. The agriculture was very developed. Other than that, he could not see anything else.
There were three forces in Shajia. High Bone Sect was a body cultivator, Middle Blood Sect was an inheritance of the Blood River, and Lower Ghost Sect was a spirit cultivator. They were all unorthodox sects. They were far from orthodox Taoism. Therefore, there was no problem of being close to anyone.
High Bone Sect had always been Buddhism's territory. Buddhism was prosperous under its rule. Now that it had taken over Middle Blood Sect's territory, it had a slight advantage in Shajia. The territory left for Free and Unfettered Travel was limited to Lower Ghost Sect. Taoism was more popular, but it was also being nibbled away.
The place he wanted to go was Lower Ghost Sect. A group of people who played with ghosts was very fresh.
