...This statent, I must say, makes a lot of sense.
Zheng Fa truly has not suffered any major loss because of Lu Yao.
"Help unify Xuanwei, and you shall be the Future Buddha."
In the Jiushan Heaven Palace, Master Pang slowly turned his head to look at Elder Han, the head of the Intelligence Departnt: "Do you think he’s telling the truth?"
Elder Han thought for a mont before speaking: "This statent sounds too fake."
"Indeed."
"That’s why I think it’s true."
"..." Master Pang was silent for a mont, then looked at Yun Wujie.
Yun Wujie twitched his lips, as if he had encountered an area of ignorance, and whispered: "I’ve never seen Lu Yao value anyone like this."
Zheng Fa was also a bit confused, and after a mont of silence, he straightforwardly asked his confusion: "As long as I produce the Hongng Purple Qi?"
Lu Yao nodded gently.
"Following Master Zheng, Tidings left the Underworld but lost its trace and did not find the Hongng Purple Qi."
He pointed to the Exotic Beast.
Zheng Fa looked at the renowned Divine Beast and finally understood why Huihong could receive him just in ti.
This creature is said to discern good and evil with its eyes and hear the Three Realms with its ears, possessing considerable Divine Skills.
It was purely because Hongng Purple Qi has the ability to conceal itself that its whereabouts in the Modern World was unknown to Tidings.
Otherwise, Lu Yao probably wouldn’t have laid such a big bait.
"Of course, Master Zheng, you have weaknesses too; that world can never be detached from Xuanwei." Lu Yao spoke softly, as if casually ntioning, yet resembling a threat, "The Jiushan Realm, Jiushan Sect, those Disciples, those mortals, are all your weaknesses."
"..."
Zheng Fa had to admit Lu Yao was right.
With Lu Yao’s level of monitoring, if there were a large-scale migration of Jiushan Sect individuals, the location of the Modern World would be imdiately exposed — let alone the fact that the Modern World simply couldn’t support Jiushan Sect, much less the mortals of Jiushan Sect.
Seeing Zheng Fa still silent, Lu Yao took another sip of tea: "The reason I’m willing to give you a choice is not entirely because of the Hongng Purple Qi."
Zheng Fa was startled, then heard Lu Yao say word by word: "It’s because of you."
"?"
"Others don’t know, but I know, the Hongng Purple Qi cannot be obtained by anyone but a Saint."
"..."
"I missed it by a hair’s breadth back then as well." Lu Yao surprisingly admitted his shortcoming, "When I was still a Golden Crow, I learned that Hongng Purple Qi required a Human Clan form to obtain."
"Once I was fully prepared, Tianhe..."
Lu Yao chuckled, still appearing quite carefree, looking at Zheng Fa:
"What I couldn’t do, you achieved, so I’m willing to give you this opportunity."
"..."
In the Jiushan Heaven Palace, Zhang’s eyes moved slightly, and she suddenly sighed: "Lu Yao, this person, is probably a natural sovereign."
The others all nodded.
Even though they belonged to opposing factions, Lu Yao was subtly using the Jiushan Realm to threaten Zheng Fa, yet they had to admit that Lu Yao had his magnanimity, at least from today’s interaction, he didn’t seem to be soone who envied the talented.
Even Zheng Fa felt quite shaken inside.
He now sowhat understood why the Demon Race always referred to Lu Yao as the Demon Emperor and were so sincerely submissive.
Lu Yao looked up to him; he could actually understand, to put it bluntly, he was now selectively chosen by the Daoist Ancestor, and given Lu Yao’s understanding of the Hongng Purple Qi, he certainly understood its value.
But the Future Buddha of Leiyin Temple?
As Lu Yao said, he had suffered a lot from him, especially when he allied with the Nine Nether Emperor, ruining his Daluo path, which could be considered a deep enmity.
Now, however, Lu Yao was so magnanimous, or rather, ambitious — he wasn’t trying to seize the Hongng Purple Qi; he didn’t even need to be the owner of Hongng Purple Qi; he wanted the owner of Hongng Purple Qi to willingly submit.
...
Seeing that he seed to understand, Lu Yao chuckled lightly: "The so-called Hongng Purple Qi is ant to be possessed by a leader of the Human Clan."
"They must have unparalleled talent, a heart as vast as the ocean, the audacity to seize the sun and moon, and unyielding resilience through life and death."
Having said that, Lu Yao stood up, with his hands behind his back.
"Throughout history, among all cultivators, few are worth noting."
"The Daoist Venerable of Supre Dao has unparalleled temperant and deep fortune, but now the Supre Dao, despite its grand appearance, is nothing but a loose coalition, easy to topple."
"The Yaochi Water Mother, ambitious than heaven, now more like a dried bone in a grave, cannot escape my grasp."
"As for the Hidden World Three Immortals and others, they are re watchdogs, swaying with the wind."
Listening to Lu Yao’s passionate outpour, Zheng Fa, however, pondered in his heart, this person, hiding behind the scenes for so many years, now changing his style, must be... full of ambition and perhaps truly confident about the Daluo Dharma eting.
"In this Xuanwei, the ones truly capable of great responsibility are only ," Lu Yao turned around, pointing to Zheng Fa, "and you."
In the Jiushan Realm, Zhang and the others looked at Lu Yao in the light curtain, and for a mont, they were also speechless.
It took Master Pang a long ti to finally sigh softly: "I would never have thought, Lu Yao is such a person."
Even Xie Qingxue, who was from the Tianhe Sect and deeply hated Lu Yao, had a very complicated expression at the mont.
She had to admit that Lu Yao’s words and actions today had greatly shocked her — even she asked herself honestly, if she were the Sect Leader, she might have been moved.
Thinking of this, Xie Qingxue pursed her lips.
"The Mahayana Buddha thinks too highly of ." Zheng Fa’s voice ca, "I have no talent, no aptitude; whatever small achievents I have co from Tianhe Venerable and other sages, from Jiushan Sect, and even from mortals."
His voice was neither fast nor slow, seemingly not particularly pleased with Lu Yao’s high regard.
In the light curtain, Lu Yao’s expression began to change, looking deeply at Zheng Fa: "What you’re saying, is still the sa set from Tianhe."
Zheng Fa smiled softly.
Lu Yao closed his eyes, then opened them again, no longer containing a smile: "I can tolerate you, I can tolerate the Turquoise Pool, I can even tolerate the Supre Dao."
"But the Tianhe, I absolutely cannot tolerate."
This statent made Zheng Fa suddenly realize sothing — he had only thought that Lu Yao was scheming against the Tianhe Sect in secret because of the Book of Life and Death.
It seems now, it’s not just that.
One must say, Lu Yao actually has a broad mind, but seems completely intolerant of Tianhe Venerable’s ideals.
Zheng Fa suddenly thought of sothing:
The Supre Dao is probably the legacy of the Supre Saint.
Leiyin Temple needless to say, is the legacy of the Western Two Saints.
It’s hard to say about Nuwa, as she doesn’t seem to have many disciples herself.
But he never figured out the line of Tongtian and Yuanshi.
Tianhe Venerable clearly has so heritage of the Tongtian Saint.
And Lu Yao...
Yuanshi Saint, Original Demon Ancestor. Yuanshi Saint was skilled at Artifact Refining, and Haori Mountain was also known for Artifact Refining...
These two brothers have been quarrelling, fighting with each other, triggering the disputes between the two teachings, truly a calamity!
Lu Yao looked at Zheng Fa, seemingly waiting for his response.
"Buddha, who is good and who is bad, I have my own pair of eyes."
The smile on Lu Yao’s face gradually disappeared.
Liuli Buddha and others around them all lowered their heads, visibly uneasy.
Zheng Fa watched as Lu Yao turned and walked out of the courtyard, Liuli Buddha and others hurriedly following in his steps.
After walking a certain distance, Liuli Buddha finally spoke:
"World Honored One?"
"You prepare to move troops to Jiushan, find the Hongng Purple Qi."
"Yes!"
...
After Lu Yao’s visit, no one ca to find Zheng Fa again.
The other Golden Immortals in the other courtyards were communicating closely, seemingly playing so ga of alliances and coalitions.
The Hidden World Three Immortals were no longer staying secluded, visiting the other courtyard of the Supre Dao every day, seemingly reaching so understanding between both sides.
The Jile Heavenly Girl from the Turquoise Pool and two Golden Immortals from the Demon Race mingled quite well; they originally belonged to Lu Yao’s faction.
Only Zheng Fa’s courtyard was left with no more visits from Leiyin Temple, and no other Golden Immortal set foot there, as if he had been collectively forgotten, appearing quite lonely.
It took over ten more days before a guest monk knocked on the door of Zheng Fa’s courtyard.
Zheng Fa stepped out of the courtyard, looking towards the summit of Thunder Sound Temple.
The Daluo Dharma eting had begun.
