The Master had a momentary blank in his mind.
After all, the information contained in Fairy Linglong's statement was vast.
It was hard for him not to be stunned.
Fairy Linglong quietly waited for the Master's emotions to calm down.
She understood the Master's reaction.
After all, she was just as shocked when she first heard the news.
However, what warmed Fairy Linglong's heart was that the first thing the Master said after regaining his senses was:
"Sister, you haven't ascended yet. It's too dangerous to engage in celestial travel now."
In the ninth layer of the Mysterious Yellow Virtue Linglong Pagoda, a beautiful jade woman with soft skin, charming demeanor, and a beauty rivaling snow, smiled coyly.
"Don't worry, with the protection of the Mysterious Yellow Virtue Linglong Pagoda, I can sneak into the Primordial Immortal Realm without being discovered. However, indeed, I can't do it often, this time was just a fluke."
The Master still didn't inquire about the South Pole's Emperor Changsheng, he was still concerned about Fairy Linglong's safety.
"It's too risky. With your profound cultivation base, Sister, your ascension is almost guaranteed. But now, peeping into the Primordial Immortal Realm, you may encounter unforeseen calamities. Sister, why are you taking such a risk?"
Fairy Linglong said softly, "To be honest, I was frightened by Changxi."
The Master, "... frightened by Changxi? Sister, you don't really believe the absurd tale that Changxi is the reincarnation of Star Monarch Tai Yin, do you?"
Fairy Linglong's tone was very complex, "Changxi's merit is too extraordinary. I know she often acts recklessly yet righteously at the foot of the mountain and indeed has done a lot of deeds that benefit the present and have long-term implications. But her merit is still too outrageous. Moreover, her cultivation base has increased too rapidly, almost breaking all my records, which is unreasonable. Even if she is using merit as a shortcut, it's too fast."
The Master couldn't help but nod.
He also thought that many of Li Changxi's behaviors were very extraordinary.
He even occasionally believed the absurd story that Li Changxi was the reincarnation of Star Monarch Tai Yin.
But he could quickly regain his reason.
The first beauty of the Primordial Immortal Realm in the legend, definitely couldn't be such a madwoman.
"Sister, Changxi can't possibly be Fairy Chang'e of the Lunar Palace." The Master firmly stated, "We cannot be led astray by a madwoman."
"You're right, during my trip to the Primordial Immortal Realm, I found that everything was normal in the Taiyin Star and its light was illuminating the heavens. The occasional appearance of Fairy Chang'e from the Lunar Palace would cause a stir in the Immortal Realm."
The Master breathed a sigh of relief.
That's better.
Although Li Changxi's mastery of illusion techniques to the point where the false seems real is quite outrageous.
But compared to the matter of Li Changxi being the reincarnation of Chang'e Fairy, the Master would rather believe that all of this was caused by illusion techniques.
"Confirmed that Changxi has some mental problem, but I did not expect to discover another major issue - the suspected demise of the South Pole's Emperor Changsheng!"
Thinking of the various signs of merit on Ji Changsheng, the Master couldn't help but start to doubt: "So Changxi has no connection with Fairy Chang'e, but is Ji Changsheng really the South Pole's Emperor Changsheng?"
Fairy Linglong proposed another possibility: "The Supreme Unity of Heaven is unique, transcending time and space, and is immortal and indestructible - but if a Supreme Unity really falls, all the heavens that he controls or even radiates will face a catastrophic disaster. The existence of a Supreme Unity shelters all the spirits of the heavens. If a Supreme Unity dies, a thought will bring the collapse of all the heavens. For this reason, a compassionate Supreme Unity will leave an inheritance or a contingency plan before his fall, to save the world from the doomsday disaster caused by his death. It is possible that Ji Changsheng is the reincarnation of the Supreme Unity, but more likely, he is the successor of Supreme Unity! In this way, it also explains the vast amount of merit he possesses."
The Master looked slightly enlightened, but then felt a pang of worry.
He quickly realized something:
If Ji Changsheng is the reincarnation of the South Pole's Emperor Changsheng, then that's all, the Karma of the Supreme Unity, they all dare not carelessly inherit.
But if Ji Changsheng is just a successor of the Supreme Unity, it means that he has the inheritance of the Supreme Unity.
The inheritance of the Supreme Unity - pointing directly to the truth, transcending time and space, wouldn't Sister Linglong be tempted?
As if guessing what the Master was thinking, Fairy Linglong said indifferently: "Don't worry, I am not interested in the inheritance of the Supreme Unity. And the inheritance also means the bondage of karma from the Supreme Unity, with gain comes loss. If Ji Changsheng has indeed received the inheritance of the Emperor Changsheng of the South Pole, his enemies would at least be the Heavenly Emperor Supreme Unity as a minimum, let alone the rumored mystery about Emperor Changsheng's birth. I can't handle such an inheritance."
The Master also instantly cut off the small amount of greed.
Just like Fairy Linglong, he couldn't handle it either.
However...
"Sister, does the South Pole's Emperor Changsheng have a mysterious birth?"
"Of course he does."
Speaking of this, Fairy Linglong was somewhat vague, but the few words she revealed made the Master feel his scalp tingle.
The Tao Scripture "Preface to the Supreme Divine Thunder Pure Jade King's Russet Book of Great Law" records: 'In the past, when space had not yet formed, and primordial Qi was unborn, the Heavenly King Yuan Shi, as the ancestor of the Great Brahman of the vast chaos, concentrated his spirit and formed a fetus, named Chaos. After Chaos split open, Heaven and Earth appeared. The Qi inside and outside was called Mixed Void. The Heavenly King Yuan Shi was the one who started the transformation and opened the diagram, his golden countenance radiant as the sun, his jade appearance like the sky. He nurtured the wonderful spirit, dividing and distinguishing Qian and Kun. And then he descended from the Jade Capital and roamed around. He met the Godmother of Pure Jade from the Primordial Beginning, the Natural Nine Heavens Upper Pure Jade, and practiced the Dao of Supreme Purity's Great Unity of the Male and Female and Three-in-one Harmony, giving birth to eight children, the eldest being the Emperor Changsheng of the South Pole. Also known as the Emperor of the Nine Dragons Supporting the Sun Palace. Also known as the Heaven-Soaring King Yuqing. One body, three names, a single saint.'
Sweat broke out in cold beads on the Master's forehead: "Sister, be careful with your words. This is a slippery slope you cannot afford to touch."
He never thought that he would get to the Heavenly King Yuan Shi by simply eating a melon.
This was really a matter of life and death.
Fairy Linglong also swiftly closed her mouth.
However, she couldn't help but add: "If it is indeed the case, and the South Pole's Emperor Changsheng has truly fallen, the Primordial Immortal World at this time must be fraught with danger. There is a great possibility that there will be another world calamity like the Battle of the Gods, or even the prelude to the outbreak of a holy war."
The Master also believed that it was so.
If the birth of the South Pole's Emperor Changsheng is false, that's fine.
If it's true... who would dare to harm the eldest son of the Heavenly King Yuan Shi?
Except for Saints, no one else would dare to think about it.
And if their own child died, what would the Heavenly King Yuan Shi do?
If the Heavenly King Yuan Shi took action, what would the Heavenly Lord of Cultivation and Virtue and the Heavenly Venerable Ling Bao do?
Once the Holy War begins, it will inevitably turn into a massacre like the War of the Gods.
They might all be innocent victims caught up in the conflict.
But this is something they couldn't even begin to think about.
Even if it happened, they needed to play ostrich now.
Master cut off his wild thoughts decisively, asking: "Sister, was it Bai Guanlin who woke you up this time?"
"Yes, he was about to be wrongfully killed, naturally he couldn't resist reaching out to me."
The master coughed lightly and said, "Sister, you once said that 'sons and grandsons have their own destiny.' Bai Guanlin being wrongfully killed is due to his lack of strength and means. Of course, what Ji Changsheng did was indeed a bit too much. Sister, how are you planning to deal with Ji Changsheng?"
Fairy Linglong's reaction was much calmer than the Master imagined: "You are now the master of the Mystic Temple, what you say, goes. If I retained power after abdicating, it would harm your authority."
A warmth filled Master's heart: "Sister, rest assured, I will not make things difficult for you."
Yu Linglong's voice was very cold: "I'm not in a difficult position, no one in this world can put me in a difficult position. Since I chose you to take over as Master and not someone from the Bai Family, you just do as you see fit."
The Master said nothing more and only worshiped her.
...
Ji Changsheng felt the Bai family people were really unreasonable.
It was Bai Guanlin who killed a fellow disciple and then framed him. The evidence was conclusive, yet the Bai Family were attacking him, the victim in their group chat.
"Group chat" meant literally.
The Sound Transmission Talisman in this world was very much like Weixin in Blue Star, and even more comprehensive in functions.
This was normal and reasonable.
China has only five thousand years of history.
People in this world can cultivate to become immortals, and there are numerous antiquities that are over five thousand years old.
Immortals are not fools.
So, the equipment of cultivators basically crushes those of the Blue Star.
This includes the convenience of technology.
Bai Guanlin's Sound Transmission Talisman inexplicably "ended up" in Ji Changsheng's hands.
Ji Changsheng didn't have time to return it to Bai Guanlin, and saw a woman named Bai Zonghui berating him in the "Loving Family" group:
"Who does that Ji Changsheng think he is? How dare he threaten our Liner? Liner, don't be angry. Once he leaves the mountain, I will spend a lot of money to hire an assassin from the Assassin Alliance to kill him for you."
Ji Changsheng was literally shaking with anger when he saw the message.
The Bai family were truly despicable.
He didn't even know this Bai Zonghui, yet she wanted to kill him.
How could Ji Changsheng feel safe if he didn't annihilate the Bai family?
But annihilating the Bai family would indeed be difficult.
First think about how to kill this Bai Zonghui.
And Jiang Boqing, the Bai family's son-in-law who showed hostility to him in the main hall of the main peak just now.
Ji Changsheng didn't know much about these two, so he chose to ask Li Daoyan and Ying Hongye about them.
He had already separated from Li Daoyan and Ying Hongye by this time, so he used his own Sound Transmission Talisman to ask them:
"Do you know Bai Zonghui?"
Li Daoyan: "Bai Zonghui? The woman Old Madam Bai took as an adopted daughter? Hmm, she's quite impressive."
Ying Hongye gave more detailed information: "Bai Zonghui is a commercial genius. Originally not surnamed Bai, but within a year she earned hundreds of millions of top-grade spirit stones for the Bai family, winning Old Madam Bai's heart and was adopted as her daughter. Also, she is the wife of our Temple Elder, Jiang Boqing."
Ji Changsheng's eyes lit up.
Indeed, birds of a feather flock together.
It turns out that his enemies are actually clustered together.
Jiang Boqing's wife, and not of Bai family by blood…
Ji Changsheng narrowed his eyes, instantly forming a plan. He picked up Bai Guanlin's Sound Transmission Talisman:
"@ Bai Zonghui
Has your husband gone out yet?
I'll be coming over to your place later.
Dress in your wedding outfit and wait for me.
That damned Jiang Boqing dared to disrespect me in the main peak's hall just now. I'm going to take my revenge on his wife."
The "Loving Family" group chat instantly fell silent.
Ji Changsheng whistled quietly.
He then morphed back into Bai Guanlin's form, and threw Bai Guanlin's Sound Transmission Talisman to the gate of the Illusory Light lineage.
"Framed and implicated!"
Everything was done by Ji Changsheng.
I, Bai Guanlin, didn't do anything!
