The next day, two streams of light, one white and one red, fell into the bamboo forest.
It’s Jin Donglai and Huo Bufan.
"It seems that you have also encountered obstacles from the rules."
Tu Sanshan waved his hand and built two more stone benches.
"I knew that Fellow Daoist Tu would be able to detect the nature of the blocking force at the first moment."
Jin Donglai sat down, his expression very serious, "But I still want to ask you what you think about this matter."
"No opinion."
Tu Sanshan shook his head, "Because no matter what I think, this matter still needs to wait until Fellow Daoist Jiang absorbs the Five Elements Principles before a final conclusion can be made."
"You know I'm not asking about Fellow Daoist Jiang."
Jin Donglai stared at Tu Sanshan.
"No, can't you two speak more clearly?"
Huo Bufan frowned, looking unhappy.
"How stupid...Aren't you curious why the Five Elements rules would spontaneously operate the law of restraint to stop us?"
Shui Yunzi added with a look of disgust.
"Why else could that be?"
Huo Bufan immediately lost interest and waved his hand indifferently, "It must be the work of the Emperor of Heaven."
Swish.
The four of them turned to look at Huo Bufan, their expressions slightly dull.
"What's wrong? Is there something on my face ?"
Huo Bufan touched his face in confusion.
"no."
Mu Fangfang looked as if she had seen a ghost. "Why do you think of the Emperor of Heaven?"
"Isn't this obvious?"
Huo Bufan spread his hands and said, "Looking at the history of the Five Elements Heaven and the Five Spirit Realm, besides the Five Elements Heavenly Emperor, who else can suppress a single Five Elements cultivator in all aspects?"
"Can't it be Jiang Wang?"
Mu Fangfang continued to ask, "Don't forget, he is absorbing all the five elements rules now."
"Do you think I'm stupid?"
Huo Bufan glared at Mu Fangfang unhappily. "It's been so long since the strange phenomenon started and we were stopped by the rules. How many rules can he absorb at most?"
"I'm afraid even Fellow Daoist Tu has stolen more Five Elements Rotation than him. Ask Fellow Daoist Tu if he can suppress the four of us at the same time."
"Such a simple question, why are you so fussy about it?"
Huo Bufan's suspicious eyes swept across the faces of the four people one by one, "You really didn't expect this?"
The four of them were silent at the same time.
They could naturally think of it, but the conclusion was too shocking and difficult to accept for the time being, so they decided to wait until everyone was present before discussing it.
"I thought that it would be Brother Tu Dao who first proposed this statement, but I didn't expect it to be you."
Shui Yunzi exhaled slowly and looked at Tu Sanshan's face meaningfully.
"It's not that I don't want to say this, I'm just not qualified."
Tu Sanshan smiled bitterly and shook his head.
In fact, he had guessed this possibility as early as after he was bounced back during his first attempt to break through the sky.
But the Five Elements Heavenly Emperor is not only the master of the Five Elements Heavenly Five Spirit Realms, but also the ancestor of the five-colored divine bird clan.
As a younger generation, and one who is of human origin, how could he speak up?
Only Huo Bufan is a big mouth and a straightforward person who dares to say anything...
"Alright, alright, what about the human race and the divine bird race? Are you trying to split up?"
Huo Bufan suddenly stood up, with an impatient look on his face, "That's right, without the Emperor of Heaven, there would be no Five Spirit Realm today, let alone us ."
“No matter how powerful and great the Emperor of Heaven is, didn’t the Five Elements Heaven also degenerate into the Five Spirits Realm?”
"You always hold on to the idea that the sky is big and the earth is big, and the Emperor of Heaven is the greatest. How can the Five Spirit Realm escape from the predicament?"
"Moreover, the Emperor of Heaven has done so much. Does he want us, the people of later generations, to burn incense and worship Buddha to support him?"
"No, it isn't."
"The Heavenly Emperor doesn't lack our incense. The breadth of the Heavenly Emperor's mind is far beyond our comprehension."
"What he really wants to see is the Five Spirit Realms becoming stronger, truly becoming stronger."
"If we can restore the glory of Huantian and drive those disgusting bugs into the corners of Daxu, let alone let an outsider master the power of the Five Elements, even if the entire Five Spirit Realm is annihilated, I believe that the Emperor of Heaven who is watching everything from the dark will only be relieved and happy, and will never blame us for throwing away his family fortune."
These words were somewhat harsh. In the past, not to mention Jin Donglai and Tu Sanshan, at least Shui Yunzi and Mu Fangfang would have jumped up to refute them.
But now, these four people can do nothing but think.
Especially Jin Donglai.
"The breadth of the Emperor's mind is far beyond our comprehension..."
"If we can restore the glory of Huantian..."
Huo Bufan's words were like a loud bell, resounding throughout Jin Donglai's mind.
In addition, the conversation with Li Xiangxue also reappeared in my mind uncontrollably.
"hehe……"
Tu Sanshan suddenly chuckled and said self-deprecatingly, "I boasted that I have some wisdom, but I didn't expect that I didn't see things as clearly as Huo Daoyou."
“Hahahaha, thank you for the compliment.”
Huo Bufan failed in a second and cupped his hands in great pride.
"Indeed."
Shui Yunzi sighed, "Looking back at the great elders of all generations, even though they have worked very hard and carefully managed the direction of the Five Spiritual Realm, has the Five Spiritual Realm really gotten better over the past tens of thousands of years?"
"Not at all."
"The spiritual energy and rules are becoming increasingly thin, and they have never stopped declining."
"It was able to last for so many years, purely because of luck that the evil spirits didn't notice it."
"The Emperor of Heaven spent half his life leaving us a legacy, not for us to be trapped in a corner and wait for destruction."
As he spoke, Shui Yunzi's face became serious, and he said, "I support Daoist Fellow Jiang."
"So do I."
Tu Sanshan nodded seriously, "The sages guarded the Five Spirit Realms and hid in hiding. Perhaps the real meaning was to wait for hope. Now that hope has appeared, what reason do we have not to fight for it?"
"right!"
Huo Bufan waved his fist excitedly, "We must fight back, drive away the evil demons, and rebuild Huantian. Only in this way can we live up to the Emperor of Heaven and our ancestors!"
“…”
Mu Fangfang had a complicated expression. She knew these words were spoken to her, because she was the only one among the four who was always on guard against Jiang Wang.
"If Fellow Daoist Mu is still concerned, I do have a suggestion."
Jin Donglai suddenly spoke with a smile.
"What?"
Mu Fangfang's eyes narrowed.
"Before I make any proposal, let me ask you a question."
Jin Donglai smiled mysteriously, "In your imagination, what kind of living environment do Li Xiangxue and his people live in?"
Living environment?
The four of them looked at each other, and Tu Sanshan spoke first, tentatively saying, "Fellow Daoist Jiang has mastered the power of space and has that kind of peculiar talent. I think the people under his protection should have no problem maintaining the most basic survival even if they are a little short of supplies."
"indeed."
Jin Donglai nodded, "That's what I thought at first."
"At the beginning?"
Shui Yunzi raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean?"
"Bai Yujing."
Jin Donglai slowly uttered three words.
"Bai Yujing?"
Huo Bufan looked puzzled, "What place? I've never heard of it."
"A world with seven layers of heaven and hundreds of millions of living beings."
Jin Donglai showed admiration on his face, "At the same time, it was also built by Daoist Fellow Jiang to replace the Tianxuan Realm's habitat."
"What?!!!"
The four of them stood up suddenly.
"This is impossible!"
Huo Bufan was the first to refute, "To accommodate one hundred million people, this has already reached the level of a ring world... Unless Fellow Daoist Jiang holds the power of space alone, it is impossible to create a world by one person!"
"Don't worry, you will know once you listen to me."
Jin Donglai shook his head leisurely, and then, under the eager gazes of the four people, he told them bit by bit the information he had learned from Li Xiangxue.
It talks about the history of Tianxuan Realm, the destruction of Tianxuan Realm, the birth of a cave called Zhaoyu, and finally the growth of Zhaoyu.
By the time Jin Dong finished speaking, the four of them were so shocked that they were completely speechless.
"I think you can guess what the meaning of Li Xiangxue's request to tell me is."
Jin Donglai didn't wait for them to come back to their senses and continued to add.
"Entrusted by someone?"
Tu Sanshan was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted, narrowed his eyes and said, "Isn't it Brother Jiang?"
Mu Fangfang frowned and looked at Jin Donglai.
However, Jin Donglai had an expression that said "whatever you think", and smiled without saying anything.
"It doesn't matter if it's him."
Shui Yunzi was open-minded and waved his hand, saying, "Besides, as long as he can really master the power of the five elements, this matter may not be out of consideration."
"this……"
Huo Bufan felt a toothache.
What he just said was to convince everyone not to continue to be conservative. Instead of waiting for the inevitable demise, it is better to give it a try before that happens.
But he never thought of giving away the Five Spirit Realm to others...
"It seems that I have no choice."
Mu Fangfang took in the expressions of the crowd and a feeling of powerlessness surged in her heart.
"Don't guess, I'll just tell you directly."
Jin Donglai waved his hand, his tone suddenly becoming solemn, "Yesterday, a strange phenomenon occurred. When I was about to rush to the center, Li Xiangxue suddenly stopped me and told me another thing, something that happened in Baiyujing."
The expressions of the four people unconsciously became solemn under this tone.
"You also know that the ruling power of the Tianxuan Realm is not a holy place like ours, but is similar to a few ring realms, ruled by the royal family and the court."
Jin Donglai continued, "After Baiyujing replaced Tianxuanjie, Daoist Jiang maintained the structure of the imperial court to govern the upper and lower seven heavens."
"Among them, the cabinet is the power core of the court, and to some extent it can even be compared with the royal family."
"After obtaining the Five Elements Divine Text, Fellow Daoist Jiang handed it over to the cabinet, and the court sent forces to search the Seventh Heaven for people of different genders, qualifications, ages, and other conditions to try to practice the Five Elements Divine Text."
"That was the first time Bai Yujing learned about the existence of the Five Spirit Realm."
"An official from the cabinet asked Daoyou Jiang a question."
Jin Donglai laughed, "The difference between the strength of the Profound Heaven Realm and the Five Spirit Realm is huge... The profound meaning is self-evident."
"The rapid growth of wisdom has destined the human race to be more profit-oriented. This is also normal."
Shui Yunzi shook his head and motioned Jin Donglai to continue.
"Fellow Daoist Jiang's answer is that Baiyujing is far inferior to the Five Spirit Realm, and there are many beings in the Five Spirit Realm. A single one of them can completely destroy Baiyujing."
Jin Donglai sighed and continued, "However, this official seemed to have an inexplicable confidence in Daoist Jiang. After getting this answer, he asked Daoist Jiang another question... He asked Daoist Jiang how strong he was compared to the Five Spirit Realm. Can he destroy the Five Spirit Realm by himself?"
"Um?"
Shui Yunzi's pupils suddenly shrank.
'Because he is confident that he can face the entire Five Spirit Realm on his own, and even... destroy the Five Spirit Realm.'
These are the words Tu Sanshan once said to him, and he can still hear them today.
Could it be...
Is it true?
"Fellow Daoist Jiang remained silent for a long time, but in the end he chose not to hide it."
Jin Donglai continued, "He answered the official, yes."
As soon as the words fell, the four of them were shocked.
Tu Sanshan and Shui Yunzi looked at each other and felt relieved at the same time.
"And then?"
Huo Bufan's face was tense and he asked with difficulty.
"What happened next? Fellow Daoist Jiang almost killed that official, and even the cabinet was nearly abolished. It was only because of the success of the research on the technique that these people were able to escape."
Jin Donglai shrugged and said, "Of course, I heard all this from Li Xiangxue. I can't find any evidence for now... Maybe the person who entrusted Li Xiangxue deliberately made up a story to make us feel lucky and thus facilitate the merger of the two worlds more smoothly."
"this……"
Mu Fangfang looked confused and didn't understand which side Jin Donglai was on.
"And the proposal I just mentioned is aimed at this point."
Jin Donglai's eyes met Mu Fangfang's and he said with a smile, "As the saying goes, you should not have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others. This is a matter of life and death for the Five Spirits Realm. We might as well give him a try before we gamble."
"I think I understand what you mean."
Tu Sanshan stroked his chin thoughtfully, and nodded after a moment: "Although it may be a bit unkind and ruin the relationship, you are right. After all, this is a matter of life and death for the Five Spirits Realm... It is feasible."
Just like that, the five of them sat around the boundary gate, almost under Xu Chong's nose, and began to whisper.
…
…
Soon, nearly a month had passed since the rule changes.
The rich light that spread from the five mountains only showed signs of convergence and dissipation on this day.
And Xu Chong, the instigator, naturally switched between reality and nothingness for a month.
The people in the Five Spirit Realm went from being confused and frightened at first, to being excited about the "blessing from the gods", and now they are used to it, and their lives have returned to peace.
"It's finally over..."
Xu Chong took a deep breath and glanced at the bamboo forest below with a hint of apology.
Naturally, he could not hide the fact that the five great elders had gathered in the forbidden area, but in his current state, he could not even pass on the message. He could only wait until everything was over before explaining it to them.
I don't know if the explanation is helpful...
Xu Chong opened the panel helplessly.
【Name: Xu Chong】
【Personality: The Bud of Reality and Illusion】
[Authority : Space (1%), Light (6%), Five Elements (19%)]
【Talent: Devour】
[Divine Essence: 1]
Every 10 points of divine energy can increase the authority of light by 1%, but there is no essential change between 1% and 6% authority except for the increase in strength.
The newly born Five Elements authority has increased to 19% after one month of absorption.
If the transformation goes as expected, when it is completely completed, it will reach exactly 20%, which will become the basis for Xu Chong to break through to the first level.
This once again proves from the side that the Five Elements Emperor had already calculated all this in advance.
But here’s the thing…
Did the Five Elements Emperor expect that the ones who inherited his legacy would not be his descendants, or even people from the Five Spirits Realm?
20%!
20% of the entire Daxu Five Elements Rules!
Can the locals accept that such a generous inheritance is given to an outsider?
