#553 - Reunion and action
Luoyu Immortal Gate.
In the fifth peak.
Inside the courtyard, everyone gathered again.
“When we first met, I was at the quasi-fusion stage, and had reached the perfect stage of Void Refining, while you were only at the late stage of Foundation Establishment. But now, I just removed the word ‘quasi’, and you are already at the early stage of Void Refining, and you even stopped at the gate of the middle stage. This, this…”
At this moment, Meng Changqing raised a finger and pointed at Du En in the air not far in front of him. After his joy, his eyes were very subtle, because he didn't expect that he had quickened his pace, but this kid still caught up with him at a rapid pace.
Who is the most outstanding one after all?
"This is a very normal development. The most suitable one is not necessarily the best. If you had chosen to proceed from the bottom to the top instead of practicing the Shangdong Xianjing right from the start, you would probably have been a real True Lord by the time you met me."
Duan remained calm, not caring about anything, and pointed out the situation directly.
By now, Meng Changqing had actually gradually understood the most crucial point, so when he heard this, he could only feel depressed and hesitant, choking and speechless.
After all, he had thought the matter too simply in the beginning, thinking that only with his extraordinary skills combined with the Cave Immortal Sutra could he catch up with the Old Immortal and the others.
And this combination is indeed the most suitable one for him.
But in the end, it turned out like this...
Meng Changqing was speechless and choked, secretly cursing his master and senior brothers who did not remind him at the beginning. At that time, those three guys knew the crux of the problem, but none of them said anything.
It would have been fine if the master hadn't said anything, after all, he was just letting me go. It would have been fine if Zhu Ding was hostile and distant in the beginning, but, as you, who is also an immortal, actually put on a smiling attitude at the beginning and even pretended to be kind in guiding me. Now it seems that you had plans and malicious intentions all along!
You deserve to die!
Thinking back to the past, he cursed them one by one.
Then it soon stagnated.
Because Du En said at this moment: "Speaking of which, regarding my life magic weapon, shouldn't you explain the trap you set for me?"
"Uh, this, I didn't mean to do that. I didn't expect you to reach your current level so quickly. I was thinking of reorganizing and revising your magic weapon refining method after the fusion stage. Haha, you can't blame me for this. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for practicing too fast!"
Meng Changqing felt a little guilty at first, but in the end he spoke confidently, acted like a boss, and made such assertions in an arbitrary and unilateral manner.
In fact, as he said, Dunn's method of refining his natal magic weapon has great flaws.
That is to say, after reaching the sixth stage, his various ever-changing qualities were fully discovered, advancing from three flowers in bloom to thousands of flowers in bloom. This was manifested in the Divine Palace as layers of illusion flowers, fire flowers, magic flowers, and divine flowers, competing with each other in splendor and beauty, with each having different postures. All the treasures he could transform into were engraved with patterns, changing back and forth between flower shapes and vessel shapes.
It’s like a fairy palace in heaven!
"No, I already have my own ideas about the advancement of my life treasure. There is no need to make too many changes. What I want to ask is another matter. It seems that you are completely unaware of it."
"Um?"
Meng Changqing was stunned.
Dunn hasn't told you about his journey to the Demon Realm yet.
So I picked out what I could say and said it.
"Hiss! Man-made sins? The holy spirit of the sacred tree? Confusion of right and wrong? Poison of the devil? What else? The Heavenly Venerable Daoist Ancestor is involved in it..."
How on earth did you come back alive?
Even if Meng Changqing had only heard these selected things, he could already feel the danger involved. Even if he jumped in with his current cultivation strength, he would probably be eaten to the bone. As a result, Du En not only came back alive, but also gained a lot. His progress was rapid!
There must be a lot of inside stories that have not been told!
"Okay, you have strong wings..."
He couldn't help but feel a little emotional, but suddenly stopped.
Thinking of his master, the past reflected in his eyes had become a knot in his heart, which could not help but surface at this moment. So he paused for a moment and said nothing more.
It's actually good for Du En to hide some things and act on his own. Or should I say, it's the best thing? If I really become that kind of ghost in the future, at least...
Just as he was feeling complicated, Du En interrupted him again: "The Azure Sky Divine Tree grew in that world, and the Azure Sky Leaves all flowed out from there. They are intertwined with each other, and this is a plan used by True Lord Huiqing to target the target person."
“…I really didn’t know that beforehand!”
Meng Changqing was interrupted and was a little depressed, but this matter was indeed his fault, so he quickly made this excuse.
"Yes, I understand."
"Your tone sounds strange. Also, since you already know it, there's no need to express it..."
Who is the boss here?
Jiang Ying, who was standing aside, muttered silently in her heart. As for the surface, she was still a little at a loss about Du En's rapid improvement in cultivation.
This is too fast!
It has only been a short time since they went to the Shengyuan Star Realm together. He is already a Tianjiao Zhenren, and the barriers of realm and limitations of talent are almost like air.
There is relief in confusion, and there is depression in relief.
She was thankful that she jumped ship early, otherwise, with her former employer, Master Buyi, in such a horrible state, and with Duen, an extraordinary peer, as a comparison, her future would be arranged in the same way as if she had died early.
As for Yu Yu, I had made an agreement with Master Buyi to train myself on time and at regular intervals... It's over. This is not just being rubbed on the ground normally, but being ruthlessly rubbed on the ground from multiple dimensions and at various levels of principles and laws. My life is over!
Jiang Ying didn't expect this calm guy to change his behavior. She just hoped that he could stay in the South for a longer time, not come back to the sect so often, and not always think about the agreement with the enemy.
Du En did not waste time on Meng Changqing. He glanced at her who looked confused and had a lot on his mind, but did not care. He continued to look at the Dark God Prism Mirror floating in the air.
"Fellow Daoist An, it seems that the recovery of your physical body is just around the corner."
"Indeed."
The prism mirror floated up and down slightly, but there was no figure of the God of Darkness inside, because now this prism mirror was like Meng Changqing's previous clone, just a port for external communication and work. In fact, the God of Darkness was in seclusion. When his body was reshaped and his body and soul were combined into one, it would be the moment to break through to the Void Refinement Stage.
Moreover, as a powerful genius, his path had long been clear. This was the fundamental reason why he and the Golden Crow Emperor, who could be said to be his predecessor, hated each other.
"I want to go back to the Shengyuan Star Realm, or rather the vicinity, and I hope that Daoist An can point out the coordinates of a star field or a direction in the universe that can be reached in a roundabout way."
"You still want to go there at this time?"
Meng Changqing interrupted, looking confused.
"Yes, after discussing the follow-up of the Taoism with Master Chengru, and cultivating Taixuan Heyuan, I plan to go there first, and then go to the South to take up my post."
Being the chief of the South Land is a real job, and he needs to be in charge of the southern border of the main territory of the Immortal Sect on a daily basis.
As for Meng Changqing, not only has he removed the suffix of "counselor" and made a complete decision of the immortal sect, but his actual position is the chief of the south, that is, he remotely controls the southern territory of the main territory, and is in charge of the southern universe of the entire Luoyu Immortal Sect.
Countless stars and star realms are waiting for him to take over. If it weren't for an ally like Dark God who is capable of taking on the task, it is unknown how long it will take. Therefore, Duan must go to the South as soon as possible and settle things there thoroughly so that he can devote himself to the universe and the starry sky.
We are short of people!
We are really short of people!
And considering the future, people like Jiang Ying who are in the critical period of cultivation cannot be transferred at will, so Du En subconsciously felt a headache about the extra schedule.
At the same time, it was also because he reached the peak right from the start and encountered obstacles. He had not yet fully understood that key step, so he still seemed confused.
On the other hand, An Shen had once made that decision in the midst of agony and suffering, and he was very clear about the key points that a strong person must take, so he quickly understood them.
"Do you want to take that step?"
The gaze of his original body at this moment was faintly filled with colors of scrutiny, vigilance, and emotion, because a genius and a strong genius are different. For a genius who is seeking the right path, there is a vague possibility of coexistence and alliance, but there is almost no possibility of coexistence between strong geniuses who are on opposite paths!
"That's right."
“…”
The Dark God fell into silent thought, and finally gave a general direction of the universe.
If Du En wants to go back to the area around his origin, he naturally has to look for the Holy Spirit.
The paths of the two should be similar, and although there are many conflicts in philosophy between him and his sister, temporary coexistence is not impossible, so An Shen finally chooses to help her.
Let's take a look at them first, after all, they are different.
Seeing that his two "subordinates" were in perfect harmony, Meng Changqing felt as if he was excluded. He couldn't help feeling annoyed at the moment and began to curse Cheng Ru Zhenjun for delaying him. He decided to go into seclusion for a while and thoroughly sort out those insights that he had hurriedly come out of but had not yet fully digested.
No, you are in seclusion again!
Jiang Ying looked at Meng Changqing's actions and couldn't help but complain inwardly.
When he looked again, the Dark God had gone to take over the various preparatory affairs of the universe, and Du En also quietly left here. In an instant, he was the only one left there.
"...I hate you guys who appear and disappear all the time!"
She finally spoke out, filled with grief and indignation at not being able to fit into the circle at all. Then she worked hard and went into seclusion.
Luoyu main sect, the first peak.
Duane appears here.
"Oh, luckily you are safe, Master Du, otherwise I would have developed a demon in my heart!"
This had been expected, and the sloppy fellow Sheng Zhaoshui, who was assigned to act as the doorman, came up rubbing his hands in a very familiar manner, with an expression of surprise and relief.
As he said, he felt guilty about what happened in the Qingxuan Star Realm, and partially attributed Du En's experience to his own negligence. If something really happened and someone died here, True Lord Huiqing would be killing two birds with one stone and would also defeat this potential threat that could also become an influencing factor.
Shooting it down from the level of Dao heart, huh?
"It may be a good thing for you to have inner demons. At least you will work hard to become stronger. Otherwise, it will be difficult for you to fully enter the door and face the decision of the strong man."
"Well, everyone has their own aspirations. If the sky falls, won't you tall people be there to hold it up? I'll just let it go. Stop causing more trouble in this turbulent world!"
He was relieved in this aspect as well.
I was struggling over whether or not to do anything about this matter, but now I don't have to worry about it anymore. I feel relieved!
"… Indeed, everyone has their own aspirations. Who can say that doing nothing is not a blessing?"
"hiss!"
Du En's sudden words of understanding made Sheng Zhaoshui gasp.
You were clearly somewhat dissatisfied before, so why do you suddenly understand now?
What happened during the time when he was lost and fallen that caused such a big change in him?
"It's not that there has been a change, it's just that there has been a calmness."
"...Yes, yes, you are a real person, and I am a great monk. I have been left far behind by you. There is no need to say this explicitly. It is better for me to remain mysterious and unfathomable. That way I can behave like a real person!"
Sheng Zhaoshui is always like this, speaking in a brisk tone and acting frivolous. As he was leading the way, he suddenly thought of something and said it out loud: "Hahaha, Master Du, can you let me take a picture to record the scene?"
"cannot."
"Don't you want to be remembered for generations to come? Believe me, once the news spreads, you will be world-famous. By then, even your pictures can be sold at sky-high prices, and will be treasured and enshrined by all the younger generations, and used as a role model for their future!"
"In no mood."
“…”
Well, Duen is still the same Duen, and he quickly killed the conversation.
Sheng Zhaoshui felt helpless and couldn't help scratching his head, feeling that it was a very difficult thing to do.
Fortunately, there is no real peak on the mountain of our sect. They have reached the halfway point of the mountain. There is a temple here that looks very similar to the small temple on the main peak. It is the former residence of Cheng Ru Zhenjun.
Yes, the former residence.
Because this true master has not returned here for thousands of years.
But today, in order to wait for Duen's visit, he took the time to come back, and even took the initiative to open the door and come out to greet the guest.
