The system is the proficiency panel

In a hall built of green jade, Lin Ji sat cross-legged on the jade pond in the center with his eyes closed, practicing quietly. With his current level of cultivation, the effect of green jade in improving his understanding was getting smaller and smaller. Only the effect of the enlightenment stone fragment he had accidentally obtained at that time still showed no sign of weakening.

"I am indeed very talented in time and space."

Lin Ji opened his eyes and muttered to himself, during the time he had been practicing intensively in Xuantian City, his practice of Water Power: Mirror Flowers and Water Moon had reached the second step, and he could control the sounds around him at will.

Since he comprehended the concept of time and space, his use of time and space has improved by leaps and bounds. Time can be stopped on a single object, instead of requiring the entire space and time to be stopped together as before, which greatly reduces the consumption of spiritual power. When moving in space, he can move people with him. He also has other new abilities, such as shortening or lengthening the distance in space, and reversing time by less than a second...

At this time, the sect's jade token that Lin Ji placed aside lit up slightly. He picked it up and checked. It was a message from Luo Youran, with portraits of four cultivators attached.

(Master, Lian Yun, the garrison cultivator of the Unfalling City, who has reached the First Realm Foundation, wants to see you. He has come several times and wants to ask about the demon race on behalf of the Unfalling City. Master, you were cultivating before, so I made an excuse that you were not here. Lian Yun is now outside the gate of the City Lord's Mansion. Do you want to see him?)

After reading the information on the jade card, Lin Ji frowned slightly. Bu Luocheng? He remembered that this was the first barrier of Xuantian Sect to defend against the demon clan. He had been there before. Lin Ji thought about sending a reply to Luo Youran.

(You Ran, I will go to see him, you don’t have to worry about it)

After sending the message, Lin Ji expanded the space-time domain to cover Xuantian City, and instantly found Lian Yun and the others in the portrait. They were quietly waiting for news outside the City Lord's Mansion. Lin Ji's mind moved, and these people disappeared on the spot.

Inside the green jade hall, Lian Yun and his companions looked at the unfamiliar scene around them with vigilance. There was also a young monk sitting on the jade pond, smiling at them. The young man was dressed in a white robe and had a handsome face.

"Lianyun, where is this? How did we get here suddenly?"

The cultivator behind Lian Yun asked nervously, but Lian Yun ignored him and gestured to lead the three of them to kneel on one knee to salute Lin Ji. Unlike the other three, Lian Yun, who was building his foundation in the realm of art, had seen Lin Ji's portrait and knew that the young man in front of him was Daozi.

"Lian Yun, the foundation-building cultivator from Bu Luo City, pays respect to Dao Zi! By the way, I would like to extend my regards to Dao Zi on behalf of my master, Jiang Jie, the Lord of Bu Luo City."

Jiang Jie? Lin Ji remembered that when the East Continent was unified, there was a fourth-level realm foundation-building cultivator named Jiang Jie. It was him, thinking this, Lin Ji spoke.

"Everyone, get up. I heard you guys have been looking for me several times. What's the matter?"

"Daozi, as a cultivator of the Unfallen City, I cannot understand why we should accept the demon race. Over the past thousand years, the human race and the demon race have been at loggerheads, if not mortal enemies, then at least their hatred is as deep as the sea. Moreover, the demon race is an alien race and cannot be trusted."

Lian Yun said seriously that although he knew he shouldn't question Daozi, he was really curious why Daozi did this.

"Have you read the books that Zhenjun brought back from Blue Water? There is a book called "The Origin of Humankind", which describes a life form called single-celled life. Through research by humans on Blue Water, they discovered that all life evolved from single cells. According to their theory, our human race and the demon race have the same ancestor."

Lin Ji did not answer Lian Yun's words, but talked about the origin of life. These words surprised Lian Yun very much. It was incredible that there was such a theory. But he refuted after thinking for a while.

“…But Daozi, even if the demon race and the human race have the same ancestor, the two races have been fighting for many years, and the hatred between them is not so easy to resolve. As cultivators who have been fighting against the demon race, we cannot accept that it is so easy to live in peace with the demon race.”

Looking at the angry look in Lian Yun's eyes when he talked about the demon clan, Lin Ji knew that his twisted logic did not fool Lian Yun. He shook his head slightly and spoke.

"To be honest, I have not experienced the war between humans and demons, so I cannot empathize with you. The matter of the demons becoming vassals of the human race has been decided, and I will not change it. But you can tell me what you think, and I will consider it as appropriate."

After hearing this, Lian Yun was silent for a while. He looked at the other three people and found that they had no objections. Then he respectfully took out a letter and spoke.

"Before coming to Xuantian City, my master has collected the opinions of the monks in Bu Luo City and recorded them in this letter. Please take a look at it, Daozi."

"You're well prepared."

Lin Ji was about to make a move, and the letter in Lian Yun's hand flew in front of him and was unfolded. He read it quickly and found that the opinions in the letter could be roughly divided into three types.

One: They tend to believe that all monsters deserve to die. They hope that Lin Ji will gather monks from the East Continent and then contact the True Lord to directly eliminate all monsters in the Misty Forest. This idea is more extreme and has the least number of supporters.

Second: Turn the demon race into slaves. The Golden Core Demon King and the demon race master must be imprisoned in the Misty Forest and are not allowed to come out. They must be under the supervision of the Xuantian Sect. The demon race below the Golden Core must sign a soul contract and must never harm humans and must obey their orders. However, the demon race will never agree to this idea, and it is not much different from genocide. The most people support this idea.

Three: The demon clan must be under constant surveillance, and all demon clan members who are willing to become a vassal should be given a token representing their identity. If it is found that a demon clan does not have an identity token, they can be captured and sent to the nearest city for identification. Those who resist will be killed without mercy. Most of the monks who support this idea are relatively young and have not participated in fierce battles with demon clan members. A small number of them have seen through the world and feel that demon clan members are also living beings, so it is better to give them a way out.

After reading the entire content, Lin Ji put the letter away. He glanced at Lian Yun and the others in front of him. They looked nervous and were waiting for Lin Ji's decision.

"I will refer to the opinions in the letter. I will make a decision after the wedding. You should stay in Xuantian City to attend the wedding. Go down now."

Lin Ji's calm words echoed in the hall. Then he moved his mind, and Lian Yun and the others disappeared here. Lin Ji closed his eyes again and began to practice.

Lian Yun and his four companions appeared out of nowhere on the street. They looked around and found themselves back outside the City Lord's Mansion. They were even more shocked at Lin Ji's strength. At this time, one of the men came to his senses and said to Lian Yun with a serious face.

"Looking at Daozi's expression, he should eventually decide to accept the demon race. What should we do about Lianyun?"

"There's nothing we can do. We've done what we should do. Now it's up to Michiko himself."

Lian Yun said helplessly, then he noticed something and spoke unhappily to a young monk standing at the back with a slightly raised corner of his mouth.

"Qinghe, you are the one who is happy now. If nothing unexpected happens, Michiko will choose the approach your father advocates in the end."
