Chapter Eighty-Fifth: Scheming Against Di Sha

  The massive dust tribulation thunder released by Ren Wang Wei's consumption of a large amount of essence and blood was absorbed by the Red Lotus Jade Buddha controlled by Wu Chi Shen Seng, and it actually transcended the tribulation to become a Buddha. The Red Lotus Jade Buddha disappeared without a trace, presumably going to the true Buddhist realm and severing its connection with the human world.

  This matter cannot be controlled by Shen Seng. Once he crosses the tribulation, if he wants to return to Zhongzhou, it will take some effort. At least, he must stabilize his realm before he can do so.

  Bai Qi was so frustrated that he wanted to cry but had no tears. The old monk just left like that, could he still escape now?

  When leaving, the monk did not forget to say two sentences to Bai Qi. The old monk's golden body was given to Bai Qi. This golden body looks ugly on the outside, but it is a true Bodhisattva golden body, and it has also crossed the corresponding number of kalpas.

  However, all the Buddhist objects of the monk were in his crystal lamp. Bai Qi could only take away the monk's golden body and leave the temple.

  Ren Wang Wei Qingchen was still standing there, looking up at the sky.

  Wú chǐ shén sēng dù jié, zhè zhī shì liù chóng jié shù de dì yī chóng, jiù jiāng nà chén xiān jié léi quán bù xī shōu, bàn fēn dōu méi shèng xià. Zhè yī xià, rén wáng wèi qīng chén jī suǒ dé shì děng yú jiāo zì jǐ sān chéng yǐ shàng de lì liang bái sòng gěi le wú chǐ shén sēng.

  Have I fallen into the Red Lotus Sect's plot? The Buddha's teachings are more profound than any scheme.

  However, the Night Emperor had an attitude of expelling Buddhism and destroyed many temples. If the Red Lotus Pure Land Sect wanted to plot against him, Laohe Shang would leave behind a follow-up plan.

  So King You saw Bai Qi walk out of the broken temple, but did nothing.

  "You two, are you cultivators of the Yunmeng Sect?" Wei Qingchen asked. He was a False Immortal and could see through Zi Hong's Dao techniques with ease. As for Bai Qi, although there were some unclear aspects about him, he was also a Refiner who had obtained the Yunmeng Sect's inheritance.

  Wei Qing's white clothes were like snow, his back against the water, he stood there, blocking all of Bai Qi's paths.

  This was Bai Qi's feeling, no matter what escape method he used, he couldn't escape Wei Qingchen's interception. Moreover, Wei Qingchen's power was enough to create the Dust Fairy Thunderbolt, and the Jade Clear Divine Thunderbolt given by his master, he didn't plan to take it out either.

  That thing is still very effective against strong people in the Golden Elixir stage. Against fake immortals, unless Wei Qingchen stands there and lets him attack while giving up his defense.

  "Not bad, you lost the bet. Are you going to silence me by killing me?" Bai Qi didn't deny it either. There was no use in denying such things.

  "Hmph, no need to urge me. My words are law. Wei Qingchen looked at Bai Qi and Zi Hong, saying: "If you're willing, follow me back to Ye Di's presence, I'll give you a position."

  "Wei Qingchen, you say that the Night Emperor's Gate will destroy my sect? Don't you find that amusing?" Zi Hong's eyebrows rose, and she readied the Jade Clear Divine Thunder. As soon as her opponent made a move, she would go all out, even if it meant sacrificing herself, to severely injure them.

  "This little dispute is nothing compared to hatred. Do you know why only one Li Xingling died in the Yunmeng Sect? It was because Ye Di showed mercy and reduced the killing karma."

  "So you're saying that the Night Emperor's sect is even more benevolent than those monks?" Zi Hong said with a hint of sarcasm.

  "Of course, those monks, what's there to brag about? Real high-ranking monks only care about themselves, not the people of the world."

  Bai Qi couldn't help but speak up, he said to Wang Dao, "Can it be that the Night Emperor's sect is not going to save the common people?"

  "It's not that I have nothing to do, it's just that since the beginning of the Zhongzhou Empire, the power of the Heavenly Court has been gradually eliminated. The four major sects now no longer obey the orders of the Heavenly Court. The inspectors sent by the Tian Emperor can only operate among the smaller sects. With the disappearance of the Great Jin Dynasty, the last bit of human luck and fortune in Zhongzhou was taken away, and there is no one in Zhongzhou who can absolutely suppress the cultivators. The Heavenly Court is also eager to move, as far as I know, other major sects from the eight states have already begun to infiltrate Zhongzhou, and the Night Emperor Sect wants to integrate the smaller sects in Zhongzhou before they arrive."

  Bai Qi listened as Wei Qing told him in detail, and he was also taken aback.

  Things in the Heavenly Court, he didn't know much about, but Wei Qingchen's words made sense. With the fall of the Great Jin Dynasty, the Heavenly Court would inevitably consider re-controlling Zhongzhou. He wasn't clear on the reason, but it was similar to how Qi-refining masters controlled ordinary people.

  The immortals in Heaven, who also ascended from the mortal world, if all sects were like the four major sects of Zhongzhou, then it wouldn't be long before there would no longer be any immortals ascending to Heaven.

  "May I ask, why do we have to fight against the Heavenly Court and ascend through feathered transformation? Isn't it good?" Zi Hong directly pointed out the key issue. Wei Qingchen's words were reasonable, and the two of them also had a grudge against him that could lead to their family's downfall. However, Zi Hong was stubborn and refused to let Wei Qingchen gain any advantage in terms of reason.

  "Why?" Wei Qingchen burst out laughing and said, "Practitioners of the Tao, in order to seek freedom and liberation, roam the world without restriction. When the Heavenly Court and various realms go to war, ascended immortals without background are sent to the front lines as cannon fodder. After so many years of operation, the Middle State's sects have no foothold in the Heavenly Court. Our Middle State's Qi-refining masters who ascend are treated like slaves!"

  Wei Qingchen looked at Zi Hong and said, "You tell me, is this a reason for Ye Di?"

  "It's really... great!" Zi Hong sneered.

  Bai Qi said: "The heavenly court's slave servants are backgroundless immortals. Your Night Emperor Gate, eliminating the powerless sects, what is the difference?"

  "Slavery? Where do you get that from, Your Majesty Night Emperor? You shared your divine mansion with us and bestowed upon us sacred artifacts. You've never asked us to do anything we didn't want to do. That Beast King was originally just the leader of a small sect, who surrendered to the Night Emperor 400 years ago. From being a minor demon in the Nascent Soul stage, he cultivated himself into a False Immortal. Tell me, what kind of person can achieve that in 400 years?"

  "What a pity, your eloquence is wasted on monks. If we two don't agree, are you going to take action?"

  Wei Qingchen smiled and said, "You two are just insignificant roles like ants. If you're not willing, I'll keep my promise, but the one who invited me is under the Beast King's command, and in the end, you will also be unable to escape death."

  Bai nodded and said, "Thank you for your advice, then we'll be off."

  As he spoke, he pulled Zi Hong around and turned to leave. Wei Qingchen watched Bai Qi's back, his fingers moving slightly, but still didn't make a move to kill him.

  Among the eight kings under Ye Di, the Beast King was the one who liked killing the most. He was different from others in that he admired Ye Di's ideals and was willing to follow him to achieve them. The rapid expansion of Ye Di's sect made it inevitable that there were both good and bad people among its members, and all sorts of disorganized individuals flocked to join without being rejected.

  "Let's go back." Wei Qingchen said to Xiao Qiao beside him after Bai Ji's figure disappeared.

  His strength was severely damaged and he had to rush back to the Night Emperor's gate as soon as possible. Moreover, a new Buddha had appeared in the Buddhist sect, and this matter also needed to be reported to the Night Emperor. As for capturing the two Cloud Dream Sect cultivators, it was meaningless to him. If the Night Emperor found out that he had gone back on his word, he would definitely not be pleased.

  Bai Qi didn't fly with all his might, he felt that Wang Weizhong hadn't left any tracking marks on him. No matter how fast he escaped, if Wang Weizhong changed his mind, it would only waste a little more time to catch up.

  Bai Qi flew out for over a hundred miles, then brought Zi Hong down to the ground. If they continued flying like this, they would soon be not far from the seaside. Now, this place was already nearly ten thousand miles away from Yunmeng Sect. For a moment, Bai Qi felt he had nowhere to go. Although he said he wanted to return to Yunmeng Sect, but listening to Wei Qingchen's words, which implied that the two blessed lands of Yunmeng Sect were probably completely occupied.

  The Night Emperor only had a cave mansion, but no blessed land or heavenly grotto. The Night Emperor's sect attacked the Yunmeng Sect for those two blessed lands. Although a cave mansion could be carried with one and refined into a magical artifact, its space was insufficient to sustain a large number of immortals.

  Yunmeng Zong's two blessed lands are small but can accommodate tens of thousands of immortals for cultivation.

  In the past, Yunmeng Sect was able to exist because the four major sects looked down on these two small blessed lands. As for other sects, their strength is not even comparable to Yunmeng Sect. The appearance of Yedi Gate changed all this. With the power of one person, Ye Di unified most of the immortals in Zhongzhou and launched a full-scale attack, and it was normal that Yunmeng Sect could not withstand it.

  Bai Qi now knew that the Night Emperor's plan was meticulous, and returning to Yun Meng Zong might not necessarily bring him any benefits. However, he still wanted to return, only before going back, he had to raise his cultivation realm.

  Seeing Wei Qingchen, Bai Qi suddenly understood that no matter how good his Taoist instrument was, he had no ability to resist when facing a fake immortal. At least, he needed to cultivate to the middle period of Jindan before he could gain some vitality with his Taoist instrument, otherwise, as long as Ye Di Men dispatched a fake immortal, he would have nowhere to escape.

  It's not always possible for a monk to come out and help. After Bai Qi Luo fell down, he told Zi Hong his own judgment.

  Zi Hongdao said: "We have no sect, the elixir on our body is insufficient. Cultivating outside for ten days may not be as good as one day in the sect."

  Bai Qi also frowned, the reverse scale crystal that the reverse scale spear had created for him last time was left with only over a dozen pieces, and he still needed to keep some for emergencies. If he were to cultivate outside, it would indeed be as slow as Zi Hong said.

  "Sister, does the south have any places with strong yin energy or something?" Bai Qi wanted to use the Inverse Scale Spear to replace the Fudi Dongtian cultivation, but that required some sufficiently powerful yuanqi or shaqi to create the inverse scale crystal.

  However, the number of inverted scales crystals transformed from Sha Qi is too small. I encountered an unknown array of Sha Qi in the underworld that had been accumulating for tens of thousands of years, and it was about to give birth to a new spirit. To transform so many Sha Qi, the number of dead ghosts may exceed tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions.

  Zi Hongdao said: "I know of a place, but it's extremely dangerous."

  "Where?"

  "The Fuzi Mountains have a place called Di Sha Yin Mai, but that's already under the control of the Luo Fu Sect. Younger brother, although Di Sha Yin Mai is a barren land, some cultivators still use it to cultivate. Luo Fu won't let us go and destroy this Di Sha Yin Mai, even if there are no such cultivators, it's always good to keep it in hand."

  "Sister, our sect is already gone, what's the point of worrying about this? The Yunmeng Sect was destroyed, did Luo Fu send anyone to help?" Bai Qi's words weren't reasonable, but Zi Hong accepted them immediately.

  If Yun Mengzong were still around, she would certainly stop Bai Qi from doing this. But since Yun Mengzong is gone, what's the point of arguing about rules with Luo Fu? If no one uses the Earthly Homicide Formation, Luo Fu will at most send a Nascent Soul stage cultivator to guard it from a distance, so as not to affect their cultivation. There are many ways to steal it after all.
