The Path Toward Heaven

Zenzi said to him: If you want to fight against Taiping, you should not tease the Zhongzhou faction, and you should not talk to Master Bai like a child.

Jing Jiu said, If I were me, why not?

The ancestor of Wushima, Nanju, died, and Master Tailu was still imprisoned in the depths of the Sword Prison. Looking at the Chaotian Continent, he was the tallest one regardless of his generation or status.

You should be very clear that the Zhongzhou faction is always the Bai family, and you know how strong the Bai family is than others.

Zenzi said: You were beaten back by her grandmother. It is impossible for her to guess your identity by now.

Jing Jiu said, Huh?

Zenzi said, If she knew who you were, why didn't she do anything? It's very strange.

There are many things in the world that are no different from playing chess. Tong Yan takes the momentum, sets up the game in advance, and tempts people into the game, but I am different.

Jing Jiu said, I'm used to waiting for the opponent's layout before breaking the game.

Zen Zi said: You will miss the first move.

Jing Jiu said, But I can see what the other person is thinking, so I won't do wasted effort.

Zenzi glanced at him and said, I understand what you mean, but I still think you are just lazy.

Jing Jiu said, Maybe.

Zenzi said: But have you ever thought about it? If Master Bai kills you with a single move, even if you see her thoughts, it will be meaningless.

The word death here is real death, not death in the chess game.

Jing Jiu looked at a looming treasure ship in the depths of the Eastern Sea, and said, Why do you think I am willing to come out for a walk now?

Naturally, this is not because he has become the head of Qingshan, and no one in Chaotian Continent dares to provoke him, but because he is now confident that it is difficult to be killed.

Zenzi said: With your current state, apart from that weird swordsmanship, what else can you protect yourself? Isn't it that now that you have broken through the sea realm, you can finally use the Seal of the Underworld Emperor? Don't forget that you promised the Underworld Emperor that one day you will return the Seal of the Underworld Emperor. What will the Underworld Master do to you then? He is a student of Taiping.

Jing Jiu said, Let's talk.

Chan Zi suddenly said, Reverend Bai has gone to see Jing Shu.

Jing Jiu was a little surprised, and said, I don't remember they knew each other.

Zenzi said: When you were retreating in Shangde Peak, they met at Dongye, and they have kept in touch since then.

Since it was a retreat at Shangde Peak instead of Shenmo Peak, it must have happened at least three hundred years ago.

Six hundred years ago, Xuanling Sect decided to follow Qingshan because of you. After all, Jing Shu is your collateral descendant, but she only fears you and has no respect or love for you.

Chanzi said: After all, before the first emperor came to the throne, Chaoge City was full of blood, and members of the royal family out of ten, who is not afraid of those who have experienced that?

Jing Jiu said, What do you want to say?

Zenzi said indifferently: In the Chaotian Continent before the Meihui, the human race was about to be destroyed, but how many people were killed by the beast tide in the Snow Country? Far less than those refugees, evil cultivators, or even righteous sects killed as many people. So the world cannot be chaotic. If there is chaos, then Cao Yuan and I will definitely stand up.

...

...

The same sunlight shines on Liming Lake, turning this green lake among the mountains into a huge mirror.

Standing on the top of the peak, Master Bai looked at this beautiful scene, wondered if he thought of Qingtian Jian, and remained silent for a long time.

There was a tense atmosphere on the shores of Liming Lake and those small islands, the disciples of Suspended Bell Sect were pale, and their fears reached the extreme.

Chen Xueshao sat in a wheelchair and looked at the peak quietly.

As the suzerain of Xuanling Sect, she must be here, and she must be so calm, even if she will die in the next moment.

Sese stood behind the wheelchair, looking up at the high place with her small face up, her heart was full of vigilance and uneasiness, and even more helpless.

After the meeting of Guocheng Temple, Master Bai did not go back to Yunmeng Mountain with Yunchuan, but came to Xuanling Sect, and went to the cemetery on the peak.

The old lady was buried in that cemetery.

No one knew what she was here for, if it was just to pay homage, it would be fine, but if she wanted to vent her anger for the old lady because of the past, what should Xuanlingzong do? What does the most powerful person in Chaotian mainland in the Mahayana period want to do? Who can stop her?

You must know that there is only one green mountain in the world.

Master Bai quietly looked at Liming Lake, and did not look away until the sky turned red and the lake turned red.

She walked to a stone tomb, glanced at the words on the stele, and said calmly, Maybe you didn't realize that he is the uncle you have been afraid of all your life.

On the tombstone is written the life of the old matriarch, such as how she married from the mirror sect back then, and later led the Xuanling sect to form an alliance with the Qingshan sect, and did many great things in the practice world, but the things before the mirror sect were not written, and the old matriarch is still the old dame of De, not Jing Shu.

Bai Zhenren said: Thinking about it now, your fear is indeed justified. When it comes to things like conspiracy and tricks, there is indeed no one who is a match for the pair of brothers.

She didn't know that the Sword God of the West Sea had similar emotions.

I don't care about things in the underworld. This time it's still just a test, and then I'm sure that my thoughts are correct.

She said calmly: Since he is good at playing chess, then I shouldn't make a move. If I don't make a move, how can he figure out what I'm thinking?

Liming Lake, illuminated by the setting sun, is gradually getting windy. It follows the foot of the mountain to the cemetery, and the white flags are blowing.

What's more interesting is that if we don't make a move, then the brothers and sisters will start killing each other, because what they fear most will always be each other.

Master Bai looked at the tombstone and said, Yes, it's as simple as that. If we don't do anything, they will play themselves to death.

The setting sun shines on the tombstone, and the words deep in the stone cannot be answered.

You have already cut off your daughter-in-law's legs. When that day comes, I will cut off her two arms and put them in an urn to accompany you in front of your grave.

The setting sun is getting lower and lower, the twilight is getting thicker and thicker, and Liming Lake is getting redder and redder, looking like a basin of fresh blood.

There was no sound in the cemetery, only the mountain wind was blowing tirelessly, blowing away Master Bai's voice.

There is so much information hidden in these words that she said, no matter if it is heard by anyone, it will cause an uproar.

In fact, there was always a second person in the cemetery.

Bai Zao's body was drawn out by the setting sun as a long shadow, making him look even weaker.

She had heard those words, and to be precise, this was the intention of Master Bai to bring her here.

Is your judgment correct?

When she said your judgment, her voice trembled slightly.

By the next five words, she had already returned to calm.

It's just... her pale face couldn't be dyed red by the setting sun.

Being human, afraid of loneliness, longing for perfection, longing for spiritual reflection and distant goals, it is natural to have admiration for that person.

Master Bai looked at his daughter and said, But aspirants seek ascension, they must transcend all nature.

...

...

Zenzi left the East China Sea, but those words still lingered in the sound of the waves.

After a while, Jing Jiu came to his senses. He realized that this was a warning, and couldn't help but feel a little ridiculous.

The kid back then, now he actually considers himself the leader of the righteous way?

warn me? It's even funnier than Zhuo Rusui.

The sound of the waves rumbled incessantly, as if agreeing with his words.

Jing Jiu walked back to the Tongtianjing, sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes and began to meditate, while waiting for Tong Yan to come out.

Time passed slowly, the sun was setting and the dusk was getting darker, but there was still no movement.

He opened his eyes, looked at the dark bottom of the well, made sure that Tong Yan would not appear again, fell silent for a while, and let a mosquito down.

At this moment, a shadow suddenly appeared on the sea surface, getting bigger and bigger.

The sword boat of Qingshan breaks out of the sunset.

Several sword lights illuminated the slightly dark world, and Zhao Layue and others landed by the sea.

In the early morning, a treasure ship from Penglai Shendao passed by in the depths of the East China Sea. It was the one he had seen earlier.

Zhao Layue and others chased after them in a sword boat and asked some questions. Because the questions were more complicated, it took some time.

Penglai Shendao has not lifted the blockade yet.

Gu Qing reported: The King of the Treasure Ship was so furious that practitioners from the mainland were strictly forbidden to go to the island. As for the disciples of Qingshan... they were not allowed to come within three thousand miles.

After saying this, he was a little embarrassed. Zhao Layue looked back at the sea, as if he didn't know what happened. Zhuo Rusui drooped his eyes, as if he had really fallen asleep.

This kind of statement similar to the three-thousand-mile ban is naturally impossible to fully realize, and it is just the self-consolation of the treasure ship king.

If the Qingshan sect goes forward forcefully, I believe he can't do anything about it, otherwise why would he be robbed of two ships in a row.

Jing Jiu said, Let Jianzhou go back first, you follow me somewhere.

The sword boat from Qingshan broke through the sunset, sailed towards the west, and soon disappeared beyond the valley.

The Shuiyue Temple in that valley is still so quiet, the peach blossoms are still in full bloom, and under the twilight, they look like blood spots.

...

...

Several sword lights of different shades illuminate the water surface.

This is no longer the seaside, but the lakeside.

It is not the Liming Lake surrounded by mountains, but the vast and boundless Daze.

Jing Jiu walked to the lakeside and looked into the depths of the lake. His breath was peaceful, but there was a hint of murderous intent.

Zhao Layue and Liu Shisui once came to this small town to hunt down Daoist Taiping. Knowing that Emperor Xiao was hiding here, she couldn't help but feel refreshed.

The ancestor of Wudao, Nan Chi, is dead, and the ancestor of Xuanyin fled in the world with Daoist Taiping. If the last sword escaper can be killed, that would be a great thing.

Zhuo Rusui's spirit was also very good, his eyes were as bright as jewels, he didn't know that Emperor Xiao was here, and he didn't like to kill people, but he just liked to fight.

With Lord White Ghost leading the formation, this kind of battle must be very interesting.

Lu Qing hugged Yu Yufeng, who was wrapped in layers of coarse cloth, and looked at the small town behind vigilantly.
