Zhang Ruochen was sitting alone on the throne of God. He was obviously a man of unparalleled cultivation, at the height of his splendor, and had a jeweled crown, but he still felt a sense of loneliness that only comes with aging.
It was as if he was the only one left in the whole world.
"Yao Yao, you are back!"
Putting down the tripod-shaped bronze wine glass, Zhang Ruochen stood up unsteadily. Immediately, his eyelids were slightly raised, and his pupils were as colorful as two seas of stars.
A bright sword light emerged from the pupils, splitting the sea of stars and flying out, turning into a substantial killing beam.
The scene in the Origin Temple changed drastically, the candlelight flickered, and overwhelming energy surged.
Chi Yao is as bright as the moon, standing in the center of the temple, slowly raising her arms.
The palm turned into gold, and the palm prints turned into mountains, creating a stunning Hunyuan palm print, which collided with the flying sword light.
"Boom!"
The palm prints and sword light shattered into pieces, dissipating into nothingness like mist.
The Origin Temple shook violently, and shock waves surged out, causing the sky in the Kingdom of Hades to change color.
The two doors of the temple were slammed shut.
Outside the hall, the Xukun God of War, the famous Sword God, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady, and Xiao Hei all looked over. Some were surprised, some were worried, and some were calm and natural.
In the realms of Sword Realm, Underworld, and Wudingshen Sea, more eyes also looked over.
…
Inside the palace.
Zhang Ruochen looked at the fleeting light and shadow of the heavenly world above Chi Yao's head, showed a joyful smile from the bottom of his heart, and said: "The twenty-fifth heavenly world, it seems that you and the Buried Golden White Tiger obtained it on the Beize Great Wall.
A huge benefit.”
Cultivation in Tianyu World is not that easy.
At the height where Chi Yao is now, every time he lifts a weight, it is like sailing against the current, with countless difficulties.
Zhang Ruochen's expression and expression at this moment made Chi Yao's worries dissipate, and she walked towards the throne with light steps.
The Golden Buried White Tiger following her walked like a cat, silently and gracefully, and said: "Compared with Di Chen, what are our achievements?"
Chi Yao looked at the seven empty wine glasses and several bronze wine glasses on the table, and said, "Brother Chen hasn't answered my question just yet."
Zhang Ruochen didn't see any decadence on his body. He sat back on the throne and said: "You underestimate the Moon Goddess! You only see her holiness, beauty, and pride, but you forget that she was also decisive in killing, experienced ups and downs, and entered the world.
The devil also has a cunning mind."
"She is not a bright moon that is not stained by dust, nor does she value reputation more than life like a corrupt scholar. I have full confidence in her inner spirit."
Zhang Ruochen didn't know if he had deceived Yueshen and Wuyue, or if they were cooperating with him in acting.
But I know that one day the truth will be revealed in the future, I will definitely have a huge headache.
Is Luna really a person who can accept adversity?
Looking back on the past, she was really afraid of no one, and her bones were stronger than anyone else.
The throne was spacious. Chi Yao gently stroked her skirt, sat next to Zhang Ruochen, and said: "The Beize Great Wall is a wonderful place to build a doomsday fortress. Wuding Divine Sea and Sword Realm can move there at any time."
Zhang Ruochen said: "To be called a relic of prehistoric civilization, there must be something extraordinary about it. Needless to say, the Abyss of Darkness is the place where ancient creatures built a doomsday fortress."
"The God Realm should have already locked the location of the Doomsday Fortress in the Colorless Realm, which is now the Eternal Kingdom of Heaven. Perhaps... the God Realm itself can also be regarded as a part of the Doomsday Fortress."
"The apocalyptic fortress of the Mingzu faction will most likely be the Jade Huang Realm."
"For us, both the Divine Nest and the Great Wall of Beize are options, and we can even merge the two together."
Chi Yao said: "Will our enemies give us this opportunity?"
Zhang Ruochen smiled and said: "Isn't the so-called apocalyptic fortress just a gimmick? Everyone at the top level knows that this is just a cake drawn for the monks below."
"When a large number of calamities are coming, even the immortals are not sure of being able to withstand them. It can be said that they cannot protect themselves. How can they run a doomsday fortress and protect a large number of monks into the new era? Is this possible?"
Gradually, the smile on Zhang Ruochen's face disappeared and became extremely serious. He tapped his fingers on the table and said loudly: "Others may be drawing cakes, but here, every cake must be eaten. To build a doomsday fortress, we
You have to go all out. I leave this matter to you!"
Chi Yao nodded lightly and said: "Don't worry, Ancestor Jin Ni is guarding over there. And..."
The Golden Burial White Tiger stood below, with a round and tall body, and said: "Moreover, I and all the remaining walls of the Beize Great Wall have subtle control capabilities, which can assist the sword world monks to gather them together, and can also be used in life and death crises.
At the critical moment, become half a weapon spirit. This is an advantage that other forces that control the relics of prehistoric civilization do not have."
Zhang Ruochen was in a great mood and joked: "Why are you holding your head so high? Are you waiting for me to praise you?"
"I want to tell you that even if you now have the fighting power to fight against the ancestors, and you are proud of the past and the present, there are still things that you can't do that I can do. Tell me, do I have the qualifications to raise my head?
talk to you?"
The Golden White Tiger's voice is clear and melodious, much like a fierce girl.
Zhang Ruochen said: "Yes, that's great! From now on, Beize Great Wall, Sword World, and Yaoyao will all have to rely on you."
This is not just a compliment!
But there is really such an expectation.
Burying Gold White Tiger seemed to have won the battle, and said happily: "In that case, am I qualified to know your plan?"
"no."
Zhang Ruochen ignored the Golden White Tiger Burial, grabbed Chi Yao's jade hand, and whispered: "If one day I am no longer here, only you and Yan Wushen will be relatively safe in this world."
Chi Yao said: "I am not as good as him."
Zhang Ruochen shook his head: "What you inherited is the Tao of the Great Master, and it is also the Tao of Saint Monk Xumi and me. Can't the efforts of the four of us be compared to Yan Wushen?"
"You have to know that you are the only being in the world today who has practiced the "Ming King Sutra" to the eighteenth level of heaven and above. What you want to build is the thirty-third level of heaven, which is a height that even the Great Master has never reached. Well...
…Forget about the old immortal Wang Shan, he is just a false god with limited achievements.”
Chi Yao seemed unable to listen to what he was saying behind him, and said, "What do you mean you are no longer here?"
Zhang Ruochen said: "I mean what if! If that day comes, the bargaining chips that Ming Zu and the God Realm have bet on me will be forced to be transferred to Yan Wushen and you."
"You two are your second choice after me."
"Otherwise, why do you think you were able to reach this point quickly and smoothly far ahead of others?"
"Actually, Haotian, Tianmu, and Emperor Fengdu all have the qualifications of the ancestors, and they are closer to the ancestors. But they have practiced Yuan Hui for more than ten years, and their spiritual will is mature. It is difficult for the immortals to influence them, let alone control them.
them."
"Young people like us are the easiest to control in the eyes of the immortals. We can start planning when we are young, such as cultivating seedlings."
"Just like, if I were the Ancestor of the Underworld, and I wanted A Le, Qing Su, Han Qiu and others to help me deal with the God Realm, would they refuse?"
Chi Yao's eyes were as bright as stars. She looked directly at him and asked, "What do you mean you are no longer here?"
Zhang Ruochen didn't know how to answer.
The Golden Burying White Tiger lay on the ground and said: "Haven't you seen it yet? This is his plan, and this is why he disguises himself in front of others. Tsk tsk, I have to say that this move is very clever, but... it's also very...
It’s dangerous. If you fake death too much, you’ll be a joke. If you fake death too much, you might actually die.”
Chi Yao understood Zhang Ruochen's situation far better than anyone else and asked, "Is this the only way?"
Zhang Ruochen nodded.
Chi Yao said: "Then just go ahead and do it. I will be your strongest backing and final support. No matter what the result is, I will move forward in your direction without hesitation, even if we fail in the end."
"Death on the road in one direction is also a good kind of romance."
"I know what you are worried about! Don't worry, if your guess is correct, I am forced to become the key training target of a certain immortal. I will do my best to protect those people you want to protect, including them."
Zhang Ruochen smiled and hugged Chi Yao into his arms, clasping their fingers tightly. There was only warmth and tranquility in his heart.
"Do you already know the identities of the Underworld Ancestor and the one from the God Realm?" Chi Yao asked.
Zhang Ruochen's eyes became dark and he said: "The Ancestor of the Underworld has exposed too many traces, I can probably count them all! The one from the God Realm is hidden too deeply. Perhaps only the Eternal Prime Minister can give me some answers."
…
Chi Yao started fighting with Di Chen as soon as he returned. Many monks speculated that the two must have quarreled because of Di Chen's cold-blooded and mean behavior over the years.
Many people are uneasy, worried that the situation will worsen and cause a split in the sword world.
There are already gods who have rushed to the Dragon Temple, King Mountain, Tongtian Temple... and other places. They want to invite the Dragon Lord, Lord Jie, Wen Tianjun, Can Deng and others to come out to dissuade him.
But, it was beyond everyone's expectations.
After Zhang Ruochen and Chi Yao walked out of the Origin Temple hand in hand, they immediately summoned the world masters from all the big worlds to announce the establishment of an apocalyptic fortress on the Beize Great Wall.
In the days that followed, Zhang Ruochen seemed to have returned to his former self. He and Chi Yao visited all walks of life and were kind and friendly to everyone.
"It turns out that Queen Chi Yao is Di Chen's only true love. Only she can influence Di Chen to the greatest extent."
"Does this need to be said? Don't you see, Di Chen's attitude towards Kong Leshenzun and Fairy Yu Yan is completely different from his attitude towards his other children."
…
There are also many monks who believe that they cannot see through Zhang Ruochen even more.
There is absolutely no way to deduce what Zhang Ruochen is doing now. He is both sentimental and ruthless. Which one is the real him?
After Zhang Ruochen, Chi Yao, and Chi Kongle visited more than a dozen big worlds under the Sword World, they came to Zhenlu Island on the Wudingshen Sea.
This island is three thousand miles from north to south and one thousand seven from east to west.
Zhenlu Island is a place of practice established by "Xu Wenzhi", a former disciple of the former master of Xingtian Cliff.
Since the identity of the Xinghai fisherman was exposed and Jiutian was dubbed the Ancestor of the Underworld, Bai Qing'er was alienated by Zhang Ruochen. The former monks of the Xingtianya and Xinghuantian factions were naturally ostracized by all parties.
Xu Wenzhi, who claims to know everything, is a generation of mentally strong people who naturally feel lonely and choose to live in seclusion on this island.
In Chi Kongle's view, the purpose of his father and mother's trip was to regain people's hearts, bring order to the chaos, and re-activate Xu Wenzhi and the original Jurenhe Yuyao behind him.
After all, building a doomsday fortress requires a large number of mentally strong people.
At this time, night falls, the east coast of Zhenlu Island is brightly lit, and the city houses are scattered, creating an atmosphere of singing and dancing. It shows that even if they are excluded and suppressed, the monks of the Xingtianya and Xinghuantian factions still have their optimism.
one side.
Zhang Ruochen, Chi Yao, and Chi Kongle came to the beach, where the waves were cascading and the wind was cold and cold.
The new moon is like a hook.
From a distance, you can see two old men in Confucian robes playing chess under the starry sky on Guantou Cliff by the sea.
One of them asked the question in vain, so it goes without saying.
Zhang Ruochen knew that Xu Wen's chess skills were superb and he was known as the best chess player in the world. The first time they met was playing chess.
Looking at the universe, there are very few people who can play chess with him and are qualified to play chess with him.
Xu Tingting is no longer the girl she once was, and there are traces of time on her body. However, at this moment, she is tugging at the corner of her clothes tightly, feeling extremely nervous and worried.
Seeing the arrival of Zhang Ruochen and the others, she felt as if she had seen a savior. She walked over quickly and knelt down to say something.
Zhang Ruochen quickly waved his hand to signal her not to say anything, and then ordered Chi Kongle to help her up and comfort her.
Chi Yao looked at the old man in Confucian robes with his back to the sea. He had white hair and a childish face, full of fairy spirit, piercing eyes, and a beard on his chin that was a foot long and fluttering in the wind.
He was very approachable, but Chi Yao clearly sensed infinite energy in him, as if he was carrying the entire starry sky on his back.
Xu asked slower and slower, his brows furrowed, and beads of sweat overflowing on his forehead.
Zhang Ruochen's eyes fell behind the old man in Confucian robes and saw Wen Qingxiu and Xu Mingjing.
Eighty thousand years ago, after they were asked to become disciples of the Fourth Confucian Patriarch, they have now made great progress in cultivation and have undergone earth-shaking changes.
To the left of Xu Mingjing stood Ying Huo.
She held the Treasure Book of Ten Thousand Beasts in both hands and smiled bitterly at Zhang Ruochen, her expression extremely stiff.
After waiting for a long time, Xu Wenzhi surrendered and stood up to bow deeply to the old man in Confucian robes across from him.
Until then, Chi Yao bowed with Confucian etiquette and said: "I have met the second Confucian ancestor!"
Besides Yan Tingqiu, the second Confucian ancestor who was famous for his chess skills, who else could it be?
Xu Tingting only knew that the cultivation of the old man in Confucian robes was unfathomable. Who knew he was the legendary Eternal Prime? Both she and Chi Kongle looked shocked and were in a state of suffocation.
In front of me is a terrifying being who has lived for nearly tens of millions of years.
Facing the ancestors who are right in front of you, if you can keep standing and have a strong heart without kneeling, you are already an extraordinary person.
Zhang Ruochen's posture was upright, the wind was light and the clouds were calm. He didn't even salute, but said with an equal and proud attitude: "The Second Confucian Patriarch came here, but he didn't greet him. It's my fault that I was neglectful!"
The Second Confucian Patriarch and the Fourth Confucian Patriarch have different temperaments.
He looked at Zhang Ruochen. Although there was a smile on his face, it was not a fake smile at all, nor was it a kind and kind feeling. It was just a look and appreciation between strong men.
"I originally wanted to go back to the Kunlun Realm to have a look, but I got itchy and came here! Don't blame me, Emperor Chen."
