Chapter 728: Finally Connected
Lao Jiang's weird behavior in front of Shan Qiumin made Lao Shan suspect that Boss Jiang was under too much pressure, which led to some abnormal symptoms.
However, Boss Jiang's confidence is not just imaginary, nor is it blind confidence in the masked "higher will" whom he has never met.
He has his own plans.
Some of them were difficult to explain to Shan Qiuming.
Because even if he said it, Lao Shan wouldn't understand.
The most direct example is that recently, the use of star-pulling and time-travel magic has become more and more handy in Lao Jiang's hands, and his understanding of the small armillary sphere left by Juzi has also been further improved.
With each trip in recent days, he has vaguely felt the "boundary" of this starry universe.
It's a feeling that's hard to describe.
It's like a little white mouse running aimlessly in a black box, finally finding the pattern inside the box and touching the outer partition of the box.
What we need to do now is to find the entrance and exit of the partition and escape from the black box, or simply be more direct and "bite" an exit on the partition to go to the wider space outside the box.
Lao Jiang knew that he had to hurry up to explore those boundaries and he had to explore the entire coordinate system of the universe as quickly as possible.
This is extremely important for the next big move.
Mr. Crow asked his great-uncle to tell him that he had left something for him in the Abyss of Sin. Lao Jiang had enough reason to believe that what Mr. Crow left behind was the key to breaking the limitations of this desperate universe.
That means Lao Jiang must go to the abyss of sin.
But given the current situation in the Ku Mu Realm, once he goes to the Sin Abyss, there is no way for him to return to the real world. This means that entering the Sin Abyss must be the last step that Lao Jiang can take after he has dealt with all the things at hand.
This means that he must resolve most of the current karma on his body before he can calmly step into the abyss of sin and take his final adventure.
The end is not far away.
Boss Jiang felt this sign more and more.
Whether in the Alpha World or in the Abyss of Sin, he will receive the last bit of help he needs most, and then he will personally write the ending of this stage of his life.
Whether it is a happy ending or despair depends on his own actions.
"Go back to Tongtian Mountain."
Old Jiang said to Shan Qiuming:
"Tell that pregnant lady my answer and tell her that I have received her warning. I will consider it. By the way, when you come back, bring your sister and Xiao Yaer out.
Send them to the Red Moon Realm to hide first.
Once things are almost settled, we'll find a new place for them."
"!!!"
Although Shan Qiuming is a straightforward person and as a physical practitioner he doesn't like to use his brain, this doesn't mean he is a fool. After hearing Lao Jiang's instructions, he felt a sense of foreboding.
He grabbed Lao Jiang's wrist and said:
"What are you going to do? I've been asked to find a way out for my family and loved ones, are you going to turn the table over? No, this is different from what you did in the Red Moon Realm and the Wasteland.
There is no irreconcilable conflict between us, don't..."
"Sometimes I really wonder if you physical cultivators are sacrificing your brains in exchange for strength."
Lao Jiang sighed, rubbed his forehead and said:
"You also said that the Immortal Alliance has a bottom line for tolerating my 'misbehavior'. You know this, but I don't? As long as I dare to mess around in the Bitter Wood Realm, the Bitter Seas of the Immortal Alliance won't have to take action...
I am a well-known person in Tongtian Mountain.
Do you believe it?
If I dare to start a war without any reason, a bolt of lightning will strike me immediately and destroy my soul. It will be useless to hide anywhere.
So, I am actually not as ignorant and fearless as they think.
I have always been very clear about what I can do and what I can't do.
After all, Taoist Fushi is watching me all the time."
He pointed to the sky and said to Lao Shan:
"Go ahead and take your sister and your lover to a safe place so that you don't have to worry about anything. Not only you, but everyone in Mo Shuang Mountain is ready for a full evacuation.
We may have to leave Bitterwood for a while.
But don't worry, this is a necessary retreat, and when we come back, those stubborn old men and women will be able to see what they want to see."
Shan Qiu Ming wanted to say something, but as a body cultivator, eloquence was not his forte, so he chatted a few dry words, finished his tea, and got up to rush to the Zhongzhou Spirit Realm.
Lao Jiang watched him leave, shook his head and returned to the cave. Just as he was about to continue studying the small armillary sphere left by Juzi, he felt a vibration in the storage ring.
He was overjoyed and immediately took out the Mo Jun puppet from the ring.
"Master, are you talking to Xiao Feng?"
In response to Lao Jiang's question, Mo Jun's puppet nodded. Although it was made of spiritual wood, a frown appeared on its lively face.
Mo Jun didn't waste any time and said directly:
"I just came back from the ninth floor of the Demon Suppression Tower. Xiao Feng revealed to me the whole process of its possession by the devil. It is indeed as we expected. There is an inside story.
I told it about Liu Hui. When Diwu Liuli came to "exchange ideas" with it, I also told it about the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect. Finally, Xiaofeng's anger was eased a little.
The situation of being possessed by the devil has also improved slightly.
Just listen to what I say to you.
Tieshan’s death is just the beginning. This matter is much more complicated than you think. It’s not even certain whether Tieshan is dead or not.”
"Um?"
Old Jiang's eyes widened and he exclaimed:
"This is impossible! Tieshan has been trapped in the black hole I used. Unless he is a powerful being from the other side and has created his own world, there is no way he can escape from the black hole."
"He certainly can't."
Mo Jun said faintly:
"But think about it carefully, whose body are you trapping?"
"this……"
Lao Jiang reacted immediately and said:
"Master, are you saying that when Liu Hui's father's body was bound , Tieshan's soul escaped? No way. I was right next to him at the time. The despair on his face was real."
"Let me ask you, Jiang Xia, have you ever wondered where Tieshan's evil magic of taking over the body of a demon came from?"
Mo Jun said softly:
"Do you think that a body cultivator like Tieshan can figure out that set of secret techniques on his own? This matter has been an unsolved case in the cultivation world before. I also suspected that Tieshan learned this set of secret techniques from others.
And today, Xiaofeng's answer proved my guess. The one who taught Tieshan the evil art of possession was none other than Yin Fu Gong, the most proficient ghost master in Ku Mu Realm.
Tieshan was just a casual attempt by Yin Fu Gong.
The idea of combining with the evil spirit and trying to change the camp to become a subordinate of the Lord of the Wilderness should also be instilled in Tieshan by Yin Fugong.
As for Xiao Feng's possession of the devil, it was Yin Fu Gong who did it in secret.
According to Xiaofeng, it had dealings with Yin Fugong before and after it took off the mission of suppressing the Sin Abyss. The ancestral land of the wolf demon clan is in the Sin Abyss, and their descendants are still there.
Xiao Feng had always wanted to free them from the abyss of sin, and Yin Fu Gongzheng got in touch with Xiao Feng because of this.
But what the old ghost wanted to do was even crazier.
He tried to make Xiao Feng into the 'animal path' clone among his six clones, and tried to merge with the evil spirit to make Xiao Feng an 'artificial monster'.
Yin Fu Gong must have been planning this so-called "world-saving cause" for a long time.
Xiao Feng said that it was completely unaware of any changes in its body, and one night it was suddenly contaminated by the evil spirit and went on a killing spree in the Zhongzhou Spirit Realm.
It could have escaped back into the abyss of sin.
But it realized that this was the path Yin Fu Gong had deliberately arranged for it, so it did not flee, but allowed itself to be captured and taken to the Demon Suppression Tower. "
Mo Jun's tone became chilly, and he said to Lao Jiang:
"According to Xiao Feng, Lord Yin Fu's 'man-made monster' plan involves not only the Sad Valley and the Myriad Beast Sect, but also several other sects in the 33 sects of the Immortal Alliance that are secretly promoting this plan.
Those demonized monsters and living souls you found in the Southern Wilderness Star Valley are also part of this plan.
They are a secret organization. They feel pessimistic and hopeless about the future of fighting against the Lord of the Wasteland, so they plan to try to change their identities to welcome the "new world" after the end of the world.
Xiao Feng couldn't tell whether the Fifth Liuli was trustworthy, and he never revealed the matter.
It was not until I heard that you, Liu Hui, and the Great Sage Qingsi destroyed the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect that I gained its trust and was told such a secret by it.
Jiangxia!
I can't stay in Kumu Realm anymore.
Immediately take your master and the entire sect back to a certain spiritual world under your control! In my opinion, after you destroyed the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, you have become a thorn in the eyes of those villains.
They will do whatever it takes to destroy you so they can get on with their business.”
After saying this, Mo Jun was silent for a moment, then he sighed and said:
"Don't feel resentful or disappointed. If things are really impossible, using this method to save all sentient beings in the world is the only way out.
Besides, let me ask you, do you still remember the 'disguise' that Juzi gave to the natives in the wasteland?
In my opinion, what Yin Fu Gong did may have been inspired by the few words left by Ju Zi. "
"I already knew that the Myriad Beast Sect and the Sad Valley were connected. But this is different!"
Old Jiang was not too angry. He just shook his head and said:
"The Great Master disguised them with the aura of the Wasteland Lord in order to preserve civilization. Now what those spineless people like Yin Fu have to do is to abandon everything and join the Wasteland Lord!
They want to preserve themselves by turning themselves into the destroyers they once hated the most.
This kind of thing makes me sick when I hear it!
Ah, I suddenly understand.
No wonder those old men and women in the Immortal Alliance insisted on fighting a "Second Demon Sealing" war. I thought they were crazy and wanted to make a desperate attempt.
After all this fuss, people are finally prepared for both scenarios.
Fight if you can win.
If they can't defeat him, they will all jump over to the Wasteland Lord and serve him as his dogs...
These people really did everything to survive. If they had known that today would be like this, why did they pay the price of the sinking of the Western Continent five hundred years ago and seal the Lord of the Wasteland in the Sin Abyss?
Wouldn't it be more straightforward and frank if I just knelt down right then?
I can also live freely as a demon for five hundred years."
"That's human nature. Don't get hung up on it."
Mo Jun, on the other hand, was very open-minded.
He did not discuss this issue with Lao Jiang too much, but just reminded him:
"For what has happened today, the Immortal Alliance can no longer be trusted.
Xiao Feng doesn't even know who the thief is, and we don't have that much time to slowly figure it out. Don't pretend to be nice to them anymore. After you lead your people out of Ku Mu Territory, continue to follow the best way to save the world left by Ju Zi.
If we can find a ray of hope, everything can be saved."
"Not leaving now!"
Lao Jiang drew out his war-weary gun, stroked the cold gun body, and said in a stern tone:
"I can't swallow this. Don't worry, Sect Leader. I'll make an appointment with Xiao Feng some time. After some time, I'll launch a big event to rescue you from the Demon Suppression Tower.
Then we’ll have a big fight in this Ku Mu realm!
We are doing the right thing, honorable and worthy of the heaven and earth, why should a group of scoundrels force us to flee in embarrassment? I still have many "surprises" to leave for those shameless thieves to enjoy. "
He raised his head, looked at the top of the cave, and said loudly:
"Daozu Fushi, you heard what I said. If you don't want me to do this, send down a bolt of lightning and kill me now!"
Lao Jiang said this casually, with a hint of sarcasm, and he didn't expect any response at all.
But the next moment, a light, pleasant and magnetic female voice exploded in his soul.
"The young monk is indeed full of passion, just like the proud spirit of the sages five hundred years ago. But passion alone cannot accomplish anything. You said that Fushi and I are thieves who saw the filth but did not stop it, and I don't want to refute it.
My Fu Shi is shy and cannot say these words, so I, the queen, will explain it clearly to you today.
Everyone has a way to save the world, and everyone is struggling to find a way out.
You look down on these dirty methods, and you say these things won't work, then come up with a plan that you think will work. Who doesn't know how to make sarcastic remarks? If you really have a good solution, show it to those who are trapped in the situation.
Don't yell and curse here!
The Yin Fu Gong, whom you despised, at least took out some things. Although they are against the will of heaven, if Fu Shi and I can't hold on, those sins can at least save all living beings in the world.
Don’t you humans always say that it’s better to live a miserable life than to die a good death?
If you can demonstrate the good strategies you mentioned, not to mention Yin Fu Gong’s head, I can pluck the heads of all the bitter seas in the world for you !
You are the choice of Kumujing.
But it's not the only option.
Jiangxia, go do something.
Go and prove that Mo Jiujuzi's best plan is feasible. When you can really come back, you will have whatever you want."
