The Black Abyss is larger than the entire fairy world, with passages connecting different interfaces and even different planes.
The fact that the Wonderful Realm of Light can be connected to the Black Abyss shows that it is definitely not a small world attached to the real world. It is an independent world, similar to the Chinese world.
When you enter the small world, you are still in the real world. But when you enter the independent world, the interface has been changed. It belongs to another world entirely, but it is still in the same dimension.
In other words, the relationship between the luminous wonderland and the true world is not a subordinate relationship, but a parallel relationship.
No matter how big the real world is or how small the wonderful world is, the two are in a parallel relationship.
sharp!
The Lotus Lantern can actually form a completely independent world of its own, parallel to the real world.
It really is the most top-notch innate magic weapon.
Such a magic weapon cannot be refined, nor can it recognize its owner, it can only "cooperate"!
It is a companion magic weapon, not a tool magic weapon.
We can only be "friends", not "slaves".
Rumor has it that this universe was born from the Xuanmen Gate in the Black Abyss. This birth process is the "creation of the world".
So, the so-called era of chaos and Hongmeng is an era when the world has just been born, or has not yet been born.
The legendary lotus lantern can illuminate the world of Hongmeng, that is, the black abyss, which is obviously very related to the black abyss.
Of course, it is also a magic weapon born from the Xuanmen Gate, and is probably the source of the Law of Light.
The source of the law of light!
Jiang Yao couldn't help but get excited when he thought of this. He knew very well that the law of light was not only the nemesis of the law of darkness, but also the law of merit and will.
It is of great use to his Tao, to the luck of the Ming Dynasty, and even to the treatment of poisoned Zhenjie.
The three of them sat down in the small courtyard and drank tea while chatting.
But I heard Li Xixia continue: "...I sensed that the fragments of light in the black abyss might be related to the lotus lantern, but I didn't expect that there was another world in it..."
"Now that I think about it, it was shining in the depths of the black abyss, and it was deliberately attracting me, otherwise I wouldn't have paid attention at all..."
"It has been ten years since I entered the Baolian Kingdom. The people here are born with supernatural powers, but they are also in a world of absolute forbidden laws..."
Cui Wei said: "I have been here for two years, but I still haven't explored this wonderful realm. This wonderful realm cannot be deciphered by understanding..."
"We are all the special guests of the Lotus Deng Empress. If we can't find out in one day, we will not be able to leave. We will never be able to leave."
"Since the meaning of the Lotus Deng Empress cannot be discovered, I will stay here to keep it a secret."
Jiang Yao frowned. Since he couldn't investigate, he couldn't leave. He could only stay here to keep the secret. So why could Jiang Yin leave?
Could it be that Jiang Yin discovered it?
They all know that there is no such person as the Lotus Lantern Empress in the world.
The so-called Lotus Lantern Empress is just the incarnation of the Lotus Lantern Dao Yun Law, the will of the Great Light Law, similar to the Charming Tapir's God Zhipo and the Vampire Clan's 'Ga', rather than a certain personality.
It's considered a godhead.
Precisely because he is not a real living being, his statue has no facial features, but the face of chaos.
This kind of existence is of course the most difficult to predict.
Jiang Yao asked: "All the guests have not been investigated?"
Cui Wei nodded, "That's right. Otherwise, the Lotus Lantern already has a companion, how can we still let outsiders in?"
"Since ancient times, many guests have come here, either with great opportunities or great luck, but only one person has come in and left. That person is Jiang Shengren who once lived here."
Li Xixia shook her head, "Although Jiang Jiuyin was discovered, Baolian Deng did not recognize him and did not want to cooperate with him, so he erased his memory, let him go, and excluded him from entering again."
"This is the information I sensed in front of the statue. The Lotus Lantern Lady means that as long as I can detect it, she will let me go, but she will erase my memory..."
Jiang Yao couldn't help but feel funny when he heard this.
The old guy actually discovered it, but was rejected by Baolian Deng and unwilling to cooperate with him.
Cui Wei smiled bitterly: "Me too. Even if they can crack it, they won't cooperate with me. They will just erase the memory and let me go."
Jiang Wei asked: "So, what kind of person will the Lotus Lantern Empress choose to cooperate with?"
Cui Wei shook his head: "I don't know. Maybe he is a saint who can not only explore the wonderful realm, but also have the power of great kindness and great merit."
Li Xixia said: "Those who need sufficient willpower and great merit not only need to have thoughts about the common people, but also need to have great power in their hands."
"Well, they are almost the same figures as those Immortal Lords and Holy Lords back then. Immortal Emperors like me, Taizu of the Tang Dynasty."
Cui Wei quickly said: "There are also holy masters like Emperor Zhaotian of the Great Zhou Dynasty."
Li Xixia sneered: "What is the Great Zhou? Cui Yi is indeed a generation of holy masters, and the title of Emperor Zhaotian is not too much, but there has never been a Great Zhou, and she eventually regained the name of the Great Tang."
She is a member of the Li Tang clan, and she dislikes the history of Cui Yi's reign in the Tang Dynasty. However, she still respects Cui Yi himself.
Otherwise, he would not have accepted Yu Kuan as his disciple.
"You can try it." Cui Wei looked at Jiang Yao with complicated eyes.
"To be honest, you were really not good at being an Immortal Emperor in your previous life. You were far inferior to my sister, Emperor Zhaotian. However, you were an Immortal Emperor after all..."
Li Xixia glanced at Jiang Yao, who was a little embarrassed, and said with a half-smile:
"It's not that Li Sui is really incompetent. As a member of a distant clan clan, he can unseat the crown prince Li Hao. Of course he is very capable."
"After he ascended the throne, he did very well in the first thousand years, and he looked like a holy master. If he hadn't been so stunned, he would have been considered a holy king of the Tang Dynasty. It's a pity."
Cui Wei looked at Jiang Yao with a faint look, "Li Sui is sorry for my sister. If I see him, I will scold him so hard that he can't hold his head up. It's a pity that he has been dead for more than 200,000 years."
Li Xixia laughed loudly, "He is Jiang Yao, not Li Sui. You don't need to target him. Since he is here, let him find a way to try."
"If he can explore the wonderful realm and be recognized by the Lotus Lantern, we can also benefit from it and leave this hellish place. I don't want to die here."
Cui Wei sighed: "Over the years, several ancient immortals have come here, including our human race, as well as the demon race, demon race, and witch race."
Jiang Yao said in surprise: "It's not just you two? Those ancient demons and ancient witches have also come in? They went to the Black Abyss for many years and did not return. So they were all attracted here?"
Li Xixia nodded, "Yes, they are all from recent years. The earliest ones are only more than ten years old."
Jiang Yao suddenly clapped his hands, "Awesome, awesome! This lotus lantern is really like a god. It's too dangerous for you ancient immortals to stay outside and pose too much of a threat to the outside world, so I'll just attract you in and catch them all!"
"If you are placed under house arrest in the world of light, there will be no strong earthly immortals in the outside world."
"And if someone investigates and is recognized for cooperation, all the earth immortals will be free and become this person's helpers. In this way, they will have greater power to change the real world and fight against the darkness."
Li Xixia and Cui Wei looked at each other and said, "Yes, we have all thought of this. We are not just referring to Cui Wei and I, but also a few of them."
"So, while we are trying to figure out how to explore the wonderful realm, we are also waiting for someone who may win the Lotus Lantern cooperation contract."
"We are all mortals here and cannot fight against Him in His world. Only this person can take us out together and escape the imprisonment of the Lotus Lantern world."
"I hope Kuan'er can come. Unfortunately, she didn't come, but it was you who came."
"But can you really do it?"
Jiang Yao did not answer whether he could do it, and he was not sure. He suddenly thought of a question:
"Do you know a great immortal named Long Zhanhai? He is very powerful, about the same as you two."
Li Xixia shook her head and asked, "When did he come to Heiyuan?"
Jiang Yao thought for a while, "About seventeen years ago."
"Seventeen years ago?" Li Xixia shook her head, "The time he entered the Black Abyss was too short. It was only seventeen years. He should not have discovered the fragments of light deep in the Black Abyss."
"It took me more than 20 years to discover the fragment of light after I was in the black abyss. The black abyss is so big that it would be difficult to find the fragment of light in seventeen years."
Cui Wei also said: "Yes, maybe in a few years, he will be attracted by the light and enter here."
Jiang Yao understood. The reason why Dragon Burial Sea was not attracted was because he had not been in the black abyss long enough and had not found the fragments of light.
"Senior Xixia, how big is this Baolian Kingdom? Does it have a leader?"
Li Xixia replied: "There are seven major counties and forty-nine counties. In terms of size, it is less than ten thousand miles away, but it is actually a completely independent five-element world, not a small world."
"There is no real king here, but the Lotus Lantern Lady is the lord of light, and she represents the king."
"Under the Lotus Deng Empress, the Guozhengtang, composed of the governors of the seven major counties, jointly manages the government. Every ten years, a county governor is elected as the regent."
"The people of Baolian Kingdom are managed by the National Government Hall headed by the Grand Regent."
"Whether they are county guards or county governors, officials, big or small, are all people with merit and good education. Anyone whose merit record is bright can be an official. If his merit record is dark, he will be dismissed from office, or even imprisoned or executed..."
The more Jiang Yao listened, the more surprised she became.
This is simply the most ideal and perfect governance.
Even more awesome than the ancient immortal dynasty.
The ancient immortal dynasty had nine tripods, but it could not prevent corruption.
By the end of the Immortal Dynasty, corruption was so common that even a fair magic weapon of cause and effect, such as the Tower of Six Paths of Reincarnation, would be used by unscrupulous immortal officials for personal gain and fraud.
It caused a big cause and effect.
What is official corruption? Its essence is darkness, and it is the result of the Taoist mind being controlled by the laws of darkness.
But this Baolian Kingdom can actually use the Great Light Law to eliminate the darkness of corruption in government to the greatest extent.
Jiang Yao suddenly thought that all the immortal dynasties, whether it was the Qiang Chu or the prosperous Tang Dynasty, had not used the Great Light Law in the administration of officials.
This is not because the Immortal Emperors of the past dynasties did not want it, but because there is no light magic weapon with a high enough level and powerful enough magical power.
Without a high-level magic weapon of great light, it is impossible to completely illuminate the good and evil, right and wrong in people's hearts.
Speaking of which, there was also a public case back then about whether Zuodaomen was an evil sect.
Because Xian Ting cannot eliminate official corruption, Zuo Daomen believes that it is because of the lack of insight into people's hearts. As long as the name of the mind-reading supernatural power is rectified and the name of Zuo Dao is rectified, it can effectively monitor the public intentions and selfishness of officials.
In this way, official corruption can be eliminated.
In essence, it is to exchange the privacy of the people of the world for the clear governance of officials.
Is this advisable?
Of course not advisable.
Therefore, although it caused some controversy, the Immortal Court remained unmoved and insisted on banning Zuodaomen's mind-reading supernatural powers.
The great light law of Kebao Lotus Lantern can not only put an end to corruption in government, supervise officials' selfishness, but also prevent the privacy and secrets of people in the world from being read.
When Cui Wei saw Jiang Yao's expression, he was obviously very aware of his thoughts and couldn't help but sneered:
"What you have in mind is really beautiful. Don't say that you have little chance of getting Baolian Lantern's approval. Even if you get His approval, it will be difficult to use it to monitor the administration of officials in the Ming Dynasty."
"The Law of Great Light consumes a huge amount of merit and merit, unless your country has enough merit and merit."
He didn’t know much about the Ming Dynasty of ginger medicine.
Li Xixia had no understanding of the Ming Dynasty.
The two of them didn't know that Jiuding and the Six Paths of Reincarnation Tower were both in Jiang Yao's hands, and that the Jiuding King's luck in the Ming Dynasty had turned dark green.
If he knew, Cui Wei would never throw such cold water on him.
Hearing this, Jiang Yao smiled slightly, which was profound. Even Cui Wei and Li Xixia were a little elusive when they met.
No matter what, those who were immortal emperors in their previous lives are not existences they can underestimate. Even if they are great immortals now, they still cannot underestimate Jiang Yao.
"Senior Xixia, does he know Li Shizhen?" Taking advantage of being in the forbidden world, Jiang Yao simply tested Li Xixia directly.
Outside, he would definitely not take the risk of testing a great immortal.
"Li Shizhen..." Li Xixia sneered, "He is from the Zuodao Sect, and the body he uses is a descendant of the Li family, but he is definitely not the real Li family."
"When I found him back then, he wanted to do something to me, but he didn't dare. In the end, he didn't break up with me. Instead, he pretended to be a member of the tribe."
Jiang Yao pondered and said: "I heard that Zuodaomen's cultivation is not suppressed by heaven and can fully display its strength. It stands to reason that it would be easy for him to defeat you, so why don't you dare to do it?"
"You know a lot." Li Xixia nodded, "Yes, I do feel that his cultivation is not suppressed. And his cultivation has surpassed that of the Great Immortal!"
"You heard it right. Li Shizhen's cultivation must have surpassed that of the Great Immortal! At that time, I couldn't believe it."
"Only in legends can there be existences that surpass the Great Immortal. There was no such thing in the ancient Immortal Dynasty, but in today's immortal world that has been deeply poisoned, everyone's cultivation level has declined. Only the Zuodao Sect has not declined but has risen, and has surpassed the Great Immortal!"
"However, Li Shizhen dared not take action despite his terrifying cultivation."
"He just didn't dare to take action, as if he was worried about some unpredictable consequences."
"My perception is that although he could kill me easily, he would have to pay a price that is difficult to admit."
"Don't say you're killing me, even if you're hurting me, there seems to be a price to pay."
"Of course this kind of price can only be caused by cause and effect. Zuodaomen should be the ones who poisoned the fairy world. They got huge benefits from the plan to poison the fairy world and are alive and well until now, but there is no price."
"They have achieved a level of cultivation that surpasses that of a great immortal, and have gained immortality, but the price is that they cannot take action personally and can only be sneaky. It is a great irony to say that."
"Their bad karma is too great, and the karma they are contaminated with is too great. The avenue of karma has long locked their qi. As long as they take action personally, they will immediately receive karmic retribution."
"They claim to defy heaven and cultivate immortality, despise the way of heaven, be self-centered, and absolutely detached. They claim to be omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent, yet they are subject to cause and effect. It's ridiculous and sad."
Jiang Yao said: "Senior is right, but not entirely. They do not dare to take action personally, and are indeed afraid of the karmic retribution of the Cause and Effect Path, but they are not unable to take action personally against everyone."
"Only those who have destiny and cause and effect dare not take action personally. Li Shizhen does not dare to take action against seniors because you are not an ordinary person."
"Zuodao Sect must have gained huge benefits from the conspiracy to poison the Immortal World. If we successfully save the Immortal World, their huge benefits will cease to exist."
"I finally understand why they want to stop the salvation. They are not trying to gain anything, but not to lose, but to preserve huge benefits."
Cui Wei said: "I have also discussed this matter with fellow Taoist Xixia, but it is just a guess. Zuodao Sect has always been hidden very deep, and no one dares to determine their true purpose."
Jiang Yao asked again: "I have something puzzling. Li Shizhen and others are extremely advanced. They must have been to the Black Abyss a long time ago, and it is impossible that they have not discovered the fragments of light. With their knowledge, they will definitely think of the Lotus Lantern.
"
"However, they have never come in. Is it because the wonderful realm of the lotus lantern is repelling them?"
Li Xixia smiled, 'You really got the point right. I don't know why they didn't come in, but almost every hundred years there will be a strange catastrophe in the Baolian Kingdom.'
"These great disasters come very suddenly and strangely. Sometimes they are floods, sometimes they are fires, sometimes they are plagues, sometimes they are poisonous, sometimes they are earthquakes..."
"The priest of the temple said that this is because there are several very powerful kings of darkness who are secretly causing trouble outside and want to destroy the Kingdom of Light."
Jiang Yao raised his eyebrows, "Senior, what you mean is that all the major disasters in Baolian Kingdom may have been the work of Li Shizhen and other leftist sects? Do they want to harm Baolian Kingdom just like they harmed the fairy world?"
Li Xixia looked at the white clouds in the sky and said in a faint tone, "That's probably it. Besides them, who else has such great ability? Also has such a motive?"
"However, the Baolian Kingdom is an independent world and a wonderful realm nurtured by the Great Law of Light. They just didn't succeed."
"More than ninety years have passed since the last major insect disaster. According to the historical records of the Baolian Kingdom, a new disaster is about to come."
"I just don't know what the means of this catastrophe are."
Cui Wei put down the tea cup and said, "Fellow Taoist Xixia, don't worry about this for now. Let's find ways to fill our stomachs first. I don't even have an inch of lotus leaves."
Li Xixia also had a look on her face, "I don't have it either. Alas, I, a nobleman of the Tang Dynasty, a powerful Immortal, are now hungry."
She looked at Jiang Yao, "Do you have any lotus seeds or leaves? We only care about living here, but not about eating."
Jiang Yao also felt a little hungry.
But he didn't have the currency of Baolian Kingdom.
The question is, how can people like Li Xixia and Cui Wei be hungry, even worse than the little beggar Mu Qingxue?
So, he looked at Mu Qingxue.
Mu Qingxue immediately shook her head, took two steps back with her short legs, "Cousin, I don't have any money either..."
PS: Does this chapter fill in the pit where ancient immortals and ancient demons went to the Black Abyss but never returned?
