Chapter 77

After the three of them quickly climbed up the thousand jade steps, they discovered that in addition to the solemnity and sacredness of the Nine-Layered Temple in the past, there was also a trace of silence that should not have existed, the kind of dead silence that even the morning bell could not penetrate.

Gui Zang raised his hand to attack, and after testing it for a while, he said, "Oh no, there's a barrier at the gate."

Qingxuan frowned, pulled Yanzhu behind him, and then directly summoned the yarrow bead, which transformed into a long sword and pierced the barrier of the Nine-Layered Temple gate.

"boom--"

With a huge explosion, the temple gate shook and was split in half by the sword.

Yanzhu and Guizang looked at each other and thought that they should not be asked to pay compensation.

The three figures teleported into the hall and suddenly found Haotian half-lying on the ground with blood oozing from his arm.

"Tianjun!"

"I am late, please forgive me, Lord!"

Haotian: "It's okay, just a minor injury."

Looking at Yan Zhu, he said, "Thanks to the Pure God's bead, you saved my life."

The three of them looked at the shattered purification bead in Haotian's hand, and they all breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time helped Haotian up.

Yan Zhu: "The Lord of Heaven will always be blessed by Heaven."

Gui Zang touched Haotian's wrist and was shocked. How could Haotian's cultivation be so low?!

Otherwise, who can hurt the Lord of the Divine Realm?

No wonder Hongle and Haotian are inseparable...

It turns out Haotian's cultivation is fake! When did this happen?

Gui Zang looked at Yan Zhu and Qing Xuan calmly. The surprise on Yan Zhu's face was obvious. As for Qing Xuan, he had always been low-key and calm, and it was difficult to see any clues from his face.

"Bang--"

There was a lot of noise going on over there. Hong Le and the man in white robe were fighting in close combat, leaving afterimages and sparks flying.

The man in white robe threw out a red umbrella, which was wrapped in thousands of turbid air and pressed forward, swallowing up Hong Le's protective shield with great speed. A vicious hand jumped out of the turbid air and went straight for the heart.

When the latter had no way to retreat, a dazzling light emanated from his chest.

It turned out that in a split second, Yan Zhu used the Xuanming True Water to send the purification bead to Hong Le's chest through the air, saving him from disaster.

There was a crisp sound like beads breaking, and then the evil hand seemed to have touched its nemesis and was burned clean. The man in white robe was obviously also hit back and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

"It's you again, Yanzhu!"

He made all kinds of calculations, but in the end he was at a disadvantage because of Yan Zhu.

There was a hint of sinisterness in the eyes of the man in white robe. As expected, Yanzhu's existence was the nemesis of turbid air.

But in order to obtain the Chaos Spirit, he had been very patient with her before, but now he had to get rid of her.

Yan Zhu ignored the white-robed man's anger and looked at Qing Xuan with confusion: "Hasn't the Umbrella been destroyed?"

Qingxuan: "A cunning rabbit has three burrows."

Yan Zhu: “…”

What else can I do? I can only continue to tear the umbrella.

Gui Zang looked at the shattered purification beads on the ground, his face darkening. He turned to ask Yan Zhu, "How many purification beads do you have? How many people have you given them to?"

Yan Zhu seemed to be thinking about something, and jokingly said, "I can't count them all."

Gui Zang: “…”

Over there, Hong Le took advantage of the gap created by the purification beads to block the foul air, so he raised his hand to fight back and landed steadily on the ground.

"Those who harm the Heavenly Lord, violate divine rules, and abandon the Way of Heaven shall die."

The man in white robe was trapped by Linglongqi before he could react. The latter's turbid eyes were full of unwillingness, but he did not lose his mind because a bead disrupted his plan.

Gui Zang clapped his hands and raised an eyebrow: "I've let you escape from Linglongqi time and time again. Do you think I, the Silu priest, have any dignity left?"

Qingxuan said solemnly, "So your ultimate goal is the Heavenly Monarch, the Lord of the Divine Realm."

The white-robed man raised his eyebrows and looked at Qingxuan: "I was discovered by you."

Gui Zang: "The change of the master of the God Realm is a major event. If we are not careful, the six realms will be in turmoil and the Demon Realm will attack again. Moreover, the selection of the master of the God Realm is a gift from heaven. What are you worthy of?"

"What virtue and ability do I have?"

The white-robed man's eyes flashed with coldness as he pointed at the pale Haotian. "Then what virtue and ability does he have? Could it be that the Lord of the God Realm can only be granted by heaven? Then what about the cultivation of others?"

Haotian covered his injured arm, narrowed his eyes, and said nothing.

Gui Zang glanced at Haotian quietly, then scolded the white-robed man, "Your Majesty traveled the six realms in his youth. When the Demon Realm was harassing and attacking, he turned the tide, saving the God Realm from harm. At the same time, his kindness spread across the vast land, and the human world prospered. How can this not be considered meritorious service?"

The white-robed man sneered: "What you said, anyone can do it."

Gui Zang choked on his words. Finally, he looked at the white-robed man, who was full of hostility, and said, "You are stubborn and unyielding."

Yan Zhu: "People always like to find excuses for themselves. But, is the one we caught this time the real one?"

Qingxuan: "Then I have to ask you personally, don't you think so, Lord Wuwang?"

The man's earth-shattering words made the man in white robe change his expression immediately.

"What did you say?"

Haotian remained silent. Yanzhu and Guizang were also shocked.

"Is he really the Unforgiven God?"

Yan Zhu asked Gui Zang in a low voice, and the latter covered his hands and replied in an equally surprised tone, "I can't tell."

As everyone knows, Wuwang and his five disciples ascended from the human world. They have noble moral character and great merits, so they were granted the position of the God of Destiny by the Heaven.

Haotian walked step by step to the trapped man in white robes: "Are you really Wuwang?"

The man in white robe looked at Qingxuan: "What evidence do you have?"

Qingxuan's eyelashes trembled, and his voice turned cold: "The prophecy stone is the evidence."

Wuwang laughed, "So it's the prophecy stone. It's amazing that you guys have repaired it."

Noticing Qingxuan's sudden flexion, Wuwang continued, "I attacked Fangcun Mountain to prevent the prophecy stone from ruining my plan. I never thought it would be ruined by this broken stone."

The hatred in Qingxuan's heart burned his reason, and when it was about to break, Yanzhu held it, bringing a hint of coolness, and the man instantly woke up.

The man in white robe had a gleam of brilliance in his slanted eyes, then he raised his hands to cover his face and passed by. In an instant, his face changed to the one that everyone was familiar with.

Wuwang admitted, "So what? I sat on the throne of the Heavenly Sovereign through my own ability. Not even the laws of nature can do anything to me!"

Haotian nodded calmly, "That's a brave idea, but what does your cultivation of turbid energy and the promotion of the spiritual spring's evolution have to do with ascending to the position of Lord of the Divine Realm?"

Wuwang sneered and did not answer.

Qingxuan had already adjusted his mood: "How about letting Guizang Divine Venerable answer this question?"

Hearing this, Gui Zang subconsciously met Qingxuan's gaze and felt guilty. His sharp eyes, which were as sharp as seeing through fire, made it seem as if the other party already knew everything.

Haotian and Hongle were unaware of the possession incident and looked at Guizang with doubt.

Gui Zang cleared his throat and said, "Possession of a body. All of Wuwang's actions are preparations for this."

Wuwang's pupils shrank slightly, and his expression was excited: "How... did you know?! Could it be that you are..."

As if he had thought of something, Wuwang's eyes flashed with fear, "You can't possibly... He wouldn't be in cahoots with those people from the God Realm!"

Haotian said in a deep voice: "Continue."

Gui Zang said respectfully, "Wuwang has been planning in the demon world for nearly a hundred years, setting up the fortune-stealing formation, all in order to snatch the fortune of the Zhongli Wang family, deceive the heavens, and eliminate the hidden dangers of the backlash from taking over the body.

As for nourishing the turbid qi and promoting the evolution of the spiritual spring... I'm afraid only the Divine Master Wuwang himself knows."

Wuwang stared straight at Guizang, as if he wanted to stare a hole through him, but the latter was thick-skinned and smiled back: "Does your God have anything to add?"

Wuwang snorted and looked at Haotian: "Spiritual energy is thin, the ancient gods have fallen, and one day all gods will be unable to escape this misfortune. If we don't make changes ourselves, what's the point of relying on the lofty and slow way of heaven?

Since Heaven is inactive and treats all things as straw dogs, then let me do it. Furthermore, turbid energy is born from Heaven and Earth, so why should I nurture it? I am simply gathering it and making it work to the best of my ability, thereby promoting the evolution of the Spiritual Spring. What's wrong with that?"

After saying this, Wuwang cast an admiring gaze towards Yanzhu: "It is precisely because of this that the power of the Purifying God is so precious. This is also why, despite her repeated opposition to me, I still have feelings of mutual respect for her."

Yanzhu's mouth twitched. That's unnecessary.

I have never seen the other party show mercy.

Wuwang didn't care about Yanzhu's attitude and continued, "And that kid from the God Clan in the Human Realm, he's gone from being an ordinary cultivator to practicing both spiritual and turbid energy. He's an unprecedented genius and will never perish due to a lack of spiritual energy!"

Mentioning this, Wuwang's eyes lit up with madness, "This is... my most perfect work... hahahaha!"

Haotian: "Using the innocent as a pretext and stepping on bones to ascend, Heaven will not allow it."

"What do you know?!"

Wuwang's eyes were filled with anger and resentment. "You are so indecisive, only clinging to this fragile present world without considering the future. How can you be worthy of being the master of this divine realm?"

"In the present world?"

Qingxuan lowered his eyes, then took out the yarrow bead, and asked Yanzhu to take out Wujiu. At the same time, many pictures opened up, one after another, which were the comparisons before and after Wuwang secretly caused chaos.

In Wujiu's vision, the six realms are at peace. Though ancient gods continue to fall within the divine realm, the other gods diligently maintain stability. In their daily struggle against the turbid qi, their own spiritual springs continuously evolve and grow, ultimately coexisting with the turbid qi. Meanwhile, the immortal cultivation sects of the human realm merge and separate, each developing its own unique cultivation system.

Everyone is finding a new position in the unknown.

In the scene of the yarrow bead, because of Wuwang's interference, countless lives were lost, innocent people died unjustly, and resentment was rampant. The underworld and the ghost world were filled to overflowing with purgatory. The fleeing ghosts turned back to disturb the human world, forming a vicious cycle, causing demons to run rampant. The demon world absorbed the evil and evil spirits of the human world, and its military power increased greatly. It attacked the divine world, and the demon world was also dragged into the war. The six realms were in chaos...

Wuwang snorted with disdain, "Those who achieve great things don't care about trivial matters. Such sacrifices are inevitable. The six realms, like the human world, split and merge. One day, balance will be achieved again. And then... it will be the era of dual cultivation of the spiritual and turbid!"

Haotian clapped his hands and applauded: "Well said, what do you think?"

Yan Zhu and others who were named: ...

Gui Zang said under pressure: "Sacrificing innocent people is not a decent method after all."

Yan Zhu pondered for a moment: "If God lost his humanity, that would be even more terrifying than if humans lost their humanity."
