Northern Zhou, Hall of Great Brightness.
The congregation at the apex of the Northern Zhou, and the apex of this world, has gathered once again, for the twenty-third time since the New Year.
Originally, they were not supposed to meet so often. The Northern Zhou was already almost unified, and no dynasty in the world was on a par with it, and all the powers that could be called kingdoms had been destroyed to ruins under the command or personal involvement of the Daoist monarch.
The Northern Zhou should now be at its busiest, for it will become yet another great unified dynasty.
But –
In recent months the resurgent Buddhists and those of the Daoist clan who have sung the opposite tune to the True Martial lineage have been a source of distraction for all.
The most important thing is the disappearance of the Daoist monarch Qing Yu.
Although the Buddha and Daoist sects have never shown their faces, their supporters and followers have been proclaiming the return of the two ancestors to the world.
At such a time, the disappearance of Qing Yu, the main backbone of the power, was a cause of anxiety for the crowd.
“Just yesterday, the Returning Heart View and Fa Yan View also announced that they had seceded from the Daoist Sect, and those leftover Buddhists have completely put aside their worries and declared war on us in an open manner.” Lin Zixiao was the first to say.
His right hand, which was pressed on the armrest, had a lightning flash in it, showing that he was so angry in his heart that he could hardly restrain his true qi, “These remaining Buddhists really deserve to be killed.”
Both the Returning Heart View and the Fa Yan View used to be Buddhist temples, sects that entered the Tao from Buddhism.
When Qing Yu won the battle between Buddhism and Taoism, he changed the Buddhist temple into a palace, the Sakya into a Heavenly Dignity, the Bodhisattva into a Great Master, the Luohan into a Venerable Master, and the monk into a Virtuous Master, and anyone who did not obey his orders could be killed. In one fell swoop, the Buddhist sect was reduced to dust.
After that, they killed one group and then pulled another group. Eventually, the entire Buddhist sect, except for some small temples in the mountains, was basically digested by the Daoist sect.
Even with Qing Yu at the top to suppress it, it was not possible to completely digest it and make it a subsidiary of the Daoist Sect in just one year.
This is not the case, once they saw the opportunity, these remaining Buddhists jumped out. The Returning Heart View and the Fa Yan View are still considered late jumpers, while those who jumped out earlier are now daring to open their gates to recruit followers.
“What really worries us is the Daoist and Buddhist ancestors who are not sure if they are really here or not, and ——”
Yun Wuyue, who received the words, had a grave look on her face, “The whereabouts of the Daoist monarch Qing Yu.”
She looked around at the crowd and said in a solemn voice, “All of you here are powerful people above the Tong Shen realm, so you should have felt the changes in heaven and earth.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth has become even more obscure than before, and the Yuan Qi is not as active as it used to be.
Although the destructive power of us at the Tong Shen realm has become lower due to the inertia of Yuan Qi, our longevity has increased due to the concentration of Yuan Qi.
According to our Patriarch, the restrictions on our longevity imposed by Heaven and Earth have been released. In the future, even those of us in the Tong Shen realm will have the chance to live to the thousand-year limit, and the strongest will be able to break through the thousand-year limit. Moreover, those life-prolonging methods are no longer as ribald as they were in the past.”
Life extension techniques and life extension pills, despite being valued in the past, could only be considered as chicken ribs to the great sects with many resources.
It was simply because once the upper limit of life expectancy was reached, no matter how many life-prolongation methods you had, you could not stop death from coming.
The great sects with a long history do not lack methods of life extension, what they lack is the upper limit of life span.
Before the cap is reached, there is a way to replenish the life span, but once it is reached, even if you have the life force of a mountain and an ocean, you will die.
“The lifespan limit being removed means that the limit of human gods has been broken, and the Daoist monarch’s plot should have succeeded,” Mo Qunming said, “which means that the Daoist monarch should be impacting the Dao realm. I just don’t know if the Dao Monarch has succeeded or failed.”
All the people were silent.
If they succeeded, they would not be afraid of the two Ancestors of Buddhism and Dao, but if they failed, it would be difficult for them to support the Northern Zhou.
Don’t look at the fact that those remaining Buddhists and Daoist traitors are only operating in Ji and Dong states, but once it is confirmed that the Daoist monarch has fallen, they will be the first ones to rush towards the Northern Zhou.
After all is said and done, in the end, as in the past, the topic comes around to Qing Yu’s head.
Qing Yu is the backbone of this crowd, as he is the one who can hold the sky for them, the one who can hold the sky.
Apart from Qing Yu, even Yin Tian Tian could not do this.
“Actually, you all don’t have to worry about this at all ——”
A familiar voice came from outside the hall.
And then, they saw one person.
“Ren Piaomiao!” The crowd exclaimed in unison.
It was no wonder that they were not shocked, as time pa*sed, Ren Piaomiao’s reality was also known to the crowd. What’s more, Ren Piaomiao had never shown himself in the past eight months either.
The white-clothed swordsman like a showman slowly stepped into the hall, his black hair turning snow-white as his sword energy filled up, “Those who betray will be killed, those who are hostile will be killed, Ji Zhou and Dong Zhou are out of control for now, but there is no room for hostile people within the boundaries of our dynasty.”
The first sentence was a murderous one, and this domineering and cool style rea*sured the crowd.
The fact that Ren Piaomiao had appeared meant that the Daoist monarch was unharmed.
“Has the Daoist Monarch succeeded in making a breakthrough?” Yun Wuyue asked with a rare hint of urgency.
“It has succeeded, but due to some minor problems, it is currently inappropriate to meet with you all.” Ren Piaomiao said with a faint smile.
It was not a good thing for an existence of the Dao Realm, whether it was a body or a voice, to appear in front of others. Even the Fellowship of the Tong Shen were not truly immune to the effects of the Dao Realm.
Qing Yu had just recently made a breakthrough and was still unable to control the influence, transforming his Dao body and Dao sound into a state that everyone could directly see and hear, so it was not yet appropriate for him to appear in front of everyone’s eyes, and he could only show himself as an unsublimated avatar.
In a flash, Ren Piaomiao appeared in front of the main seat, sat down and faced the crowd, saying: “Gentlemen, nowadays, we are the only ones left in the world who are the strongest, and we have the largest number of God-Realm people. I will hold off the Daoist Ancestor and the Buddha for you, and you, too, will take the fruits of victory for me.
Now, please let go of your scruples and first cleanse the territory of opposing forces, so that those who betray will get what they deserve.”
“That is natural.” The crowd revealed smiling faces and said.
If it weren’t for the Buddha and the Daoist Ancestor, the crowd would not have allowed them to jump around like the Heart Restoration Temple.
Now that Qing Yu had reappeared and stated that he had already broken through the Dao realm, it was time to strike back.
There were even a number of people whose hearts were already stirring with murderous intent.
Among those present, even Lin Zixiao, who came from the Daoist clan, had a lot of blood on his hands, not to mention a few Demonic Daoist Gods.
The anger they had suffered over the past few days had made their minds very inaccessible, and now they could unblock them properly.
