Chapter 249: Negotiations at Wenyuan Pavilion! The merger of the two realms begins!
The new system was constructed by combining strength with divine texts, and strength is the power born from the human body itself, so this system was eventually called destiny texts.
As for the first destiny technique deduced by Xu Chong, after heated discussions among Huo Bufan and others, it was finally named "Heavenly Destiny Five Elements Technique".
It sounded a bit childish, but it contained several people's beautiful visions for the future, and Xu Chong didn't have the heart to destroy it.
In short, after the first set of skills comes out, these top figures won’t have to worry about the rest.
With the imperial court and the Five Spirits Palace taking charge, the huge population base of the two worlds combined is bound to produce countless brilliant people in the new system to continuously expand the follow-up of the Destiny Five Elements Kung Fu and more destiny text skills.
As for Huo Bufan and others, they naturally have more important things to do.
Baiyujing, a heaven beyond heaven.
Five figures were strolling above the clouds, with expressions of emotion on their faces, walking and stopping.
Huo Bufan looked like he had never seen the world before, his eyes wide open: "According to records, Huantian used to be a land made of clouds, with no distinction between day and night..."
"Compared to the current Five Spirit Realm, this place is indeed more like a fairyland, but the concentration of spiritual energy is a bit thin."
Tu Sanshan's statement is more objective.
"Let's go, the master is waiting for us to fall into the trap."
Shui Yunzi's face was calm, his eyes staring straight ahead a hundred feet away.
There was an extremely grand hall with a plaque on it inscribed with the three characters "Wenyuan Pavilion". At the door of the hall, several figures stood with their heads bowed, waiting quietly.
“Is this the Cabinet?”
Jin Donglai narrowed his eyes, "Then the leader should be Zhang Shunyi, he is indeed very young."
"Fellow Daoist Jiang and he were childhood classmates, so there is no doubt about their age."
Tu Sanshan took a deep breath, "Fifty-year-old third-level rank..."
Mu Fangfang was the last one to come, feeling extremely complicated.
Before entering Baiyujing, she had a feeling that could not be described as luck, but more like a desire to escape, hoping that everything about Baiyujing was just a lie.
Because then the Five Spirit Realm can be preserved.
But now, she knew that no matter how reluctant she was, the Five Spirits Realm would definitely become a thing of the past.
Just like that, the five people walked towards Wenyuan Pavilion with different feelings.
"Zhang Shunyi from the Real Clan..."
"Zheng Qian from the Real Clan..."
Led by Zhang Shunyi, the seven cabinet members all bowed and saluted: "Greetings to all of you fellows in the Five Spirit Realms."
"interesting."
Tu Sanshan's eyes flashed, and he felt like he had met a strong enemy.
They visited Baiyujing for two purposes. One was to witness an independent world that could be carried around in the form of a tiny door and wander in the great ruins. The other was to discuss an important issue of the merger of the two worlds.
To put it nicely, it is called priority, to put it bluntly, it is called interest.
After all, these are two worlds that originally developed independently, and merging them together is no trivial matter.
The distribution of benefits should be finalized first to avoid conflicts and discord later.
When they first met, these seven people neither introduced their official titles nor their realms, but instead put the name of the True Clan before their names...
You have to know that in the Huantian period, the real races added up to tens of thousands, and when different races talked to each other, they would refer to themselves by their own race, such as "our human race" and "our five-colored divine bird race".
Only when referring to the devil, in order to distinguish it from nothingness, will the broad term "our reality" be used.
Using it in this kind of situation seems to be intended to narrow the distance, but in fact it is emphasizing that both parties are on an equal footing in this meeting.
Simply put, it means 'Don't try to take advantage of others by relying on your status and realm.'
"Five elders have come to Baiyujing. Why don't you go to the side hall for a banquet first, so that we can show our hospitality as hosts?"
Zhang Shunyi straightened up, smiled and moved sideways.
“No need.”
Tu Sanshan took a step forward and said, "We have already known the wisdom of the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, but we dare not follow your steps. Let's talk about the matter directly."
With the think tank among the five taking the lead, Shui Yunzi and the other three naturally took the second position willingly and nodded in agreement.
"Okay."
Zhang Shunyi seemed to have expected this. He smiled when he heard this, leaned a little further to the side, and led the way into the hall with one hand: "Everyone, please."
"please."
Tu Sanshan nodded and stepped in first.
Soon, as the two groups of people took their seats on the left and right sides of the hall, the atmosphere gradually became tense.
"The current structure of Baiyujing is that the imperial court supervises the Seventh Heaven, and its main responsibilities are people's livelihood and government affairs."
Zhang Shunyi spoke first, his voice clear and steady, "Anyone who holds an official position or an ordinary person who has not practiced cultivation is subject to the jurisdiction of the court, and there are laws for rewards and punishments."
"Except for officials, all practitioners must register with the Yin-Yang Palace. Any need for cultivation or breakthroughs must be reported to the Palace."
"If the two worlds merge, ordinary mortals will be under the management of the imperial court, and as for cultivators..."
Zhang Shunyi paused and glanced at the faces of the five people, "Of course, they also have to obey the orders of the Yin-Yang Palace."
As soon as these words were spoken, the straightforward Huo Bufan was the first to jump up.
"impossible!"
Huo Bufan stared at Zhang Shunyi, "This is the merger of Baiyujing and Wulingjing, not Baiyujing annexing Baiyujing!"
"Elder Huo, this is wrong."
Zheng Qianlang laughed, "Baiyujing has never had the idea of annexing the Five Spirit Realms, and we naturally won't advocate it. It's just that the merger of the two realms is based on Baiyujing as the basic space of the new world, so it is reasonable to retain the original structure of Baiyujing."
"Reasonable?"
Mu Fangfang snorted coldly, "Indeed, the new world is based on Baiyujing, but retaining the structure of Baiyujing does not mean that we have to completely abandon the structure of Wuling Realm... What is the difference between your proposal and annexing Wuling Realm?"
“There is still a difference.”
A cabinet minister gradually grew bolder and said with a smile: "After all, the Five Spirits Palace will be preserved. It is just a subsidiary cultivation sect of the Yin-Yang Palace."
"impossible!"
Huo Bufan had a stinky face and shouted: "The Emperor of Heaven created the Five Spirits Palace, which has been passed down since Huantian. If we become someone else's subordinate, how can we face the Emperor of Heaven after we die?"
"That's right."
Shui Yunzi nodded and said in a low voice: "If you are planning to use the power of Brother Jiang Daoist to force this matter, I advise you to give up as soon as possible..."
"Elder Shui has misunderstood."
Zhang Shunyi waved his hand and said, "The regent is guarding the Five Spirits Realm Gate, which means he doesn't want to get involved in this matter, so he won't be relied on by us."
"Then how do you have the confidence to put forward such unreasonable conditions?"
Jin Donglai frowned.
"What's unreasonable about that?"
Zhang Shunyi spread his hands and said helplessly: "The Yin-Yang Palace was replaced by the imperial court in ancient times. The current Yin-Yang Palace was rebuilt by the Regent Princess... I have neither the qualifications nor the courage to put the Five Spirits Palace in a higher position."
"Um?"
Tu Sanshan raised his eyebrows.
The other four people also looked hesitant.
This was the first time they heard about Xu Chong's family...
Judging from her age, this Regent Princess must still be alive, and she is the Palace Master of the Yin-Yang Palace.
This is not going to be easy.
Tu Sanshan and Shui Yunzi exchanged glances and saw the helplessness on each other's faces.
If this Yin-Yang Palace is just a force in Baiyujing, even if it is the highest ruling force, then everything will be easy to deal with.
After all, the entire Five Spirits Realm was given to Bai Yujing to swallow up, so it was not excessive to let the Five Spirits Palace gain a position second only to the emperor.
But with the identity of a regent princess, the meaning becomes completely different.
Even if Xu Chong didn't care about this and gave the Wuling Palace the status it wanted, and even if there was really no resentment at all, they would not dare to accept it... After all, that was the family of the Realm Lord, and the meaning of the Realm Lord was equivalent to that of the Huantian Emperor, who had the power of life and death over the people in the realm.
"How about this?"
Zhang Shunyi suddenly spoke up, "The imperial court has downgraded itself to be below the Five Spirits Palace, and the Five Spirits Palace is below the Yin-Yang Palace... Of course, this is just a distinction in status. The imperial court's authority remains independent and is not under the jurisdiction of either the Five Spirits Palace or the Yin-Yang Palace."
Shui Yunzi raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but look at other cabinet ministers.
Then he discovered that not only Zhang Shunyi, but other cabinet ministers also looked calm and composed, as if they had been prepared for this.
This made Shui Yunzi feel a little confused.
He now has a relatively good understanding of the history of the Tianxuan Realm, and is well aware that for the people of Baiyujing today, especially ordinary mortals, the imperial court still holds the supreme status.
Although Zhang Shunyi and others have already achieved impressive cultivation, they are also cultivators at the same time.
It can be said that the court’s status in the new world is closely related to their own interests.
In this situation, can you still give in so calmly?
"Can't the Five Spirits Palace be on the same level as the Yin Yang Palace?"
Huo Bufan didn't think about it that carefully, and said in a muffled voice: "Just like in the Five Spirit Palaces, there is no such thing as superiority or inferiority."
In response, Zhang Shunyi and other cabinet members chose to remain silent.
Although the imperial court and the Yin-Yang Palace have always been on the same level on the surface, it is okay for them to help the Yin-Yang Palace gain benefits, but they have no right to raise the Five Spirits Realm to the same status as the Yin-Yang Palace.
"Idiot, we need to visit the Palace Master to discuss this matter."
Shui Yunzi glared at Huo Bufan, then changed the subject and sighed, "You are so obsessed with fame and gain, we are unworthy of being the descendants of immortals."
"Elder Shui, you are too kind."
Zhang Shunyi waved his hands repeatedly, "There is no such thing as fame and fortune. We are all working for the welfare of the people of the two worlds. Although our positions are different, it cannot be considered wrong."
"But then again, status is earned, not given by others."
Tu Sanshan stroked his long beard and sighed, "If the descendants work hard, they will naturally be able to lead the Five Spirits Palace to look down on Baiyujing without us paving the way. If they don't work hard, their high status will only become the source of trouble."
"No, no, no."
Jin Donglai suddenly laughed out loud and shook his head, "We were all wrong."
"What?"
Huo Bufan turned his head curiously.
“Why are we fighting over this?”
Jin Donglai asked a question and then answered it himself: "Because we still regard ourselves as people in our own world."
When these words were spoken, all the ministers in the cabinet and Shui Nianzi and others were stunned, and then they couldn't help laughing.
Only Huo Bufan didn't understand, and asked, "What does that mean?"
“…”
Jin Donglai was somewhat helpless and said, "Think about it, why should we strive for benefits for the Wuling Palace? "
"Of course, it is to ensure that future generations of Five Spirits Palace disciples will not be inferior to others."
Huo Bufan looked at Jin Donglai in confusion, with an expression that said 'are you stupid?'
"But why do you think that the disciples of the Five Spirit Palace in the future must be the descendants of you and me, or people in the Five Spirit Realm?"
Jin Donglai spread his hands.
"Well……"
Huo Bufan was stunned, then finally reacted, and slapped his thigh fiercely: "It seems so, the two realms have merged together, there is no distinction between Baiyujing and the Five Spirit Realm... People from Baiyujing can join the Five Spirit Palace, and people from the Five Spirit Realm can naturally join the Yin-Yang Palace."
"So."
Jin Donglai spread his hands and said with a smile: "What are we arguing about?"
The two groups of people in the hall looked at each other.
“ Pfft hahahahaha…”
After a while, no one knew who couldn't hold it back first and burst into laughter with relief and self-mockery, which quickly infected everyone.
Lian Mu Fangfang is no exception.
yes.
The two worlds are about to merge together, so what is the difference between you and me?
Maybe for most people, it may be a little bit difficult to adapt to it for the time being, and they will still fight about it.
But after all the fighting, it is only a short-term benefit.
Just wait a few years, or even wait for the next generation to be born. As long as these ignorant children grow up, there will no longer be any distinction between the two worlds.
Moreover, the new world will surely grow into a world that is broader and more advanced than Baiyujing and Wulingjing.
It's not just Mu Fangfang, but also the supreme elders such as Huo Bufan and Shui Yunzi, and the cabinet ministers such as Zhang Shunyi and Zheng Qian.
The already slight vigilance and repulsion between the two groups rapidly diminished with the hearty laughter, and invisibly brought them much closer.
Not long after, with Zhang Shunyi as the guide, the five supreme elders went to the Yin-Yang Temple to visit the Palace Master Hua Nong Yue.
The final result, with slight modifications, satisfied everyone.
The Five Spirits Palace was merged into the Yin and Yang Palace, and was named after the five meridians of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, on a par with the Yin and Yang meridians, with the five supreme elders being the masters of the five meridians.
The Yin-Yang Palace was also renamed the Yin-Yang Five Elements Palace, and from the second person onwards, the position of palace master was held by the most capable person.
Whether you are from the Five Spirits Realm or Baiyujing, you can freely choose the lineage that suits you among the seven lineages to join.
In this way, there is no distinction between the Five Spirits Palace and the Yin-Yang Palace, and all structures remain the same.
In the end, Huo Bufan and others simply stayed in Baiyujing and went to tour the seventh heaven separately.
Anyway, Xu Chong is guarding the boundary gate.
…
…
Bamboo forest forbidden area.
"You're treating me like a laborer, aren't you?"
Xu Chong, who received the news, shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Forget it, this will also make it easier for me to perform."
The next moment, the power of light was activated.
Countless phantom bodies gathered around Xu Chong and filled the entire bamboo forest in the blink of an eye.
The next moment, the power of space was activated, and each phantom opened a space crack and flashed away.
When these phantoms leave, a new batch of phantoms are created and repeat the same action.
It’s just that each phantom leaves in a different direction.
This is the first step in the merging of the two worlds.
The merging of the two worlds is simple to say, but in practice it is far more troublesome than building Baiyujing in the first place.
Because the remaining space in Baiyujing is not enough to accommodate the population of the Five Spirits Realm, it is obviously not feasible to complete the migration first and then be swallowed by the Broken World.
The safest method is to open a large number of space channels to connect the two worlds, allowing Bai Yujing to spontaneously devour the Five Spirit Realms while slowly migrating.
"It's just that the time it takes may far exceed my expectations..."
Xu Chong thought of the vast territory he observed with the authority of light for the first time, and couldn't help feeling helpless. In the end, he could only comfort himself: "Forget it, the last thing I lack is time."
However, what he didn't know was that there was a gray fog of extremely exaggerated scale in the Great Ruins, rushing rapidly and steadily towards the boundary gate of the Five Spirits Realm.
Having said that, I almost agree with Zhang Shunyi's proposal.
Huo Bufan and Mu Fangfang, who were still somewhat unwilling, gradually felt relieved after hearing these words.
