Chapter 243: Every bit counts, the Zichen Sect begins a big reckoning, and the King rules the world
"Just now I saw Zhao Yi's emotional tribulation break out, but it was you, Saint Jiang Lan, who was helping her relieve the pain. Shi Tian was ungrateful and took the initiative to attack without knowing right or wrong. Saint Jiang Lan did not kill him on the spot, which was already giving Saint Shi enough face."
King Nie Er sighed, then called the palace maids and asked them to support Nie Zhaoyi and take her back to the palace to rest.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for making a fool of myself. After all, Princess Zhaoyi is right in front of me, and I cannot ignore her request."
"As for Shi Tian, I really don't take him seriously." Jiang Lan smiled faintly.
“Although the Xiantian Saint is a rare genius that only appears once in a thousand years, he is still not worth mentioning in front of Saint Jiang Lan.”
King Nie Er agreed with this statement.
He also clearly saw the gap between the two men. In terms of age, the two were not much different, but their strength was very different. One was in the sky and the other was on the ground. Jiang Lan was able to make Shi Tian unable to move just by standing there.
But in the eyes of ordinary geniuses, Shi Tian is already an invincible freak.
"Thank you for showing mercy to Saint Jiang Lan just now. Zhao Yi will remember this favor in his heart."
Nie Zhaoyi was helped by several palace maids to go downstairs to rest, but before leaving, she was polite and thanked for what had just happened.
"Princess Zhaoyi, just rest and recuperate first. You can put the search for Xitu aside for the time being. Your health is more important." Jiang Lan also showed his magnanimous side at this time and said with a smile.
Anyway, he is not in a hurry to get Xitu, but he can use Nie Zhaoyi to hold Shi Tian hostage.
A congenital saint naturally has good luck.
Now he is worried about where to get some good luck, so naturally he will grab any good luck he can get.
Afterwards, Jiang Lan said goodbye and left Nie Er's palace. King Nie Er did not try to keep him. After what happened today, he was now filled with sorrow. Nie Zhaoyi's emotional tribulation had already arrived, and it would only get worse when he met Shi Tian in the future.
Unless from now on, the two of them will never meet again.
If Nie Zhaoyi can do it, can Shi Tian accept it?
Outside the palace, Kong Xuan and others were already waiting for Jiang Lan. Yuan Kong had already set off alone, heading to the deep seabed of Nie Er Kingdom to look for his destined object, the Nine-Shattered Sky-Reaching Stick.
It is estimated that there will be a lot of trouble next.
However, Jiang Lan didn't care much about it. After all, this was Yuan Kong's own opportunity. It was enough for him to point it out for him. He just didn't know if Yuan Kong could get some of his luck in return after finding the Nine-Shattered Sky-Reaching Stick.
After all, this is a very important part of the future plot direction.
Jiang Lan returned to the accommodation arranged by the manager of Yingxian Tower. Han Jing, wearing a loose Taoist robe and a jade hairpin, was already waiting for him there. After a night of in-depth communication, the two of them had indeed become much more familiar with each other.
"Have you communicated with Yingzhao Dojo?" Jiang Lan asked.
"I have already told the sect, but they still need to send a few elders to come and talk to the Holy Son in person," Han Jing replied.
"How long will it take?" Jiang Lan asked.
"About half a month." Han Jing replied.
"Half a month, that should still be enough. During this time you should stay in Nie Er Country and stay with Nie Zhaoyi." Jiang Lan ordered.
"Could it be that the Holy Son is interested in Nie Zhaoyi?" Han Jing nodded, asking curiously.
Although she and Nie Zhaoyi have a close relationship and can even be called close friends, in the face of absolute interests, everything can be abandoned, let alone this relationship.
"I do have some interest in her, so just keep an eye on her." Jiang Lan had other plans in mind.
On the other side, Shi Tian, who had returned to the Shiling tribe’s territory, stood in front of Shi Sheng in a daze, not knowing how to face what had happened today.
"You were indeed reckless today. This is unlike your style and character."
"I have trained you since you were young, not to let you waste time and energy on these romantic affairs. You are a natural saint and the hope of the Shiling clan. You should not be fettered by romantic affairs. From today on, you will reflect on your mistakes in the back mountain. You are not allowed to leave within half a month."
Shi Sheng said expressionlessly.
Shi Tian's behavior today really disappointed him. He knew that the gap in strength between him and Jiang Lan was too great, but he still overestimated his own abilities and attacked. As a result, he not only got injured, but was also humiliated again and almost fell to his knees.
If this happens one or two more times, my heart that wants to practice Taoism will be shattered sooner or later, and my life will end here.
"Grandpa, I'm sorry..."
"But I want to know why Sister Zhaoyi has to endure such heart-wrenching pain because of me." Shi Tian gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.
"You and she are connected by a predestined relationship, and the cause and effect are very deep. Her emotional tribulation should be on you. If you don't meet, it's fine. Once you meet and come into contact with each other, the emotional tribulation will take effect, making her suffer unbearably."
"If you want to do this for Nie Zhaoyi's sake, don't go to see her again." Shi Sheng said calmly.
When Shi Tian heard this, he was stunned and couldn't believe his ears.
It turned out that it was because of a love affair.
"Grandpa, is there no other way to resolve the emotional tribulation?" Shi Tian couldn't help but ask.
Shi Sheng shook his head, then nodded, but did not explain, nor did he pay attention to Shi Tian's further questioning.
"Reflect on yourself carefully. If your mind is not stable, your realm will be unstable."
Then, he rolled up his robe, and a golden light rose from under Shi Tian's feet, turning into a circle, trapping him and throwing him directly to the back mountain.
"It seems that I miscalculated that I didn't have the ruthlessness to help you solve this disaster." Shi Sheng frowned, looked in the direction of Nie Erguo, and sighed secretly.
The next day, before leaving Nie Er Kingdom, Jiang Lan went to the palace first and met Nie Zhaoyi under the pretext of visiting.
Lying on the bed, her face was pale and haggard, her eyes were dull, and she was looking out the window, as if in a trance.
The hall was filled with a strong aroma of medicine. In addition to several palace maids who were taking care of him, there was also Han Jing who had come to visit Nie Zhaoyi yesterday after "hearing the news".
"Greetings to Saint Jiang Lan. I am sorry for causing you worry and delaying your work..."
Seeing Jiang Lan coming in, Nie Zhaoyi, with the help of Han Jing, sat up from the bed and said apologetically.
"Princess Zhaoyi, you are joking. How can I bear to ask you to help me find Xitu when you are in this state now?"
"But you look even more haggard today than yesterday. Could it be that you didn't get enough rest?" Jiang Lan said with a smile.
"It's not that I didn't get enough rest, but this emotional catastrophe keeps coming back. Once I think about it, the pain will come back. The only way is to calm down."
Nie Zhaoyi shook his head with a wry smile and said softly, "I didn't thank Saint Jiang Lan properly yesterday. I am sorry for delaying your work due to my current physical condition."
"Don't be in a hurry. I actually have a way to alleviate this emotional calamity. Although it cannot be cured, Princess Zhaoyi may try to practice when it occurs." Jiang Lan said.
"What method?" Nie Zhaoyi asked curiously.
"This decision is called the decision to purify the mind and reduce desires. As the name suggests, it is a Taoist mental method that is used to enter a state of meditation and suppress evil thoughts and the six desires. The emotional tribulation will occur itself, and in fact, it is the love and desire in the heart that is entangled. As long as it is suppressed, it can be alleviated." Jiang Lan explained.
"The decision to be pure and free from desires?"
This was the first time that Nie Zhaoyi heard the name of this mental method.
"This method is not a unique one. If Princess Zhaoyi wants to try it, I will teach it to you now." Jiang Lan said.
Nie Zhaoyi hesitated for a moment, but soon thought of the excruciating pain he felt when his love affair struck, so he bit his lower lip and decided, "I want to give it a try."
Jiang Lan smiled and pointed with one finger. Then a ray of light shone into Nie Zhaoyi's brow, accompanied by a warm and gentle feeling. She felt that the pain left over from the emotional catastrophe had eased a lot and was not as painful as before.
"Thank you, Saint Son Jiang Lan. I owe you another favor." Nie Zhaoyi thanked.
"We each get what we need. Princess Zhaoyi, don't forget what you promised me." Jiang Lan stood up and waved his hand casually.
Nie Zhaoyi looked at Jiang Lan in a daze. She thought he would continue to take advantage of her, but she never expected him to leave so directly. This made her feel that she could not see through Jiang Lan even more.
"strangeness……"
"But I seem to feel a lot better." Nie Zhaoyi touched his heart, then focused his attention on the "Decision to Purify the Heart and Reduce Desires" and recited it silently.
"Saint Son Jiang Lan is a very good person. Before leaving, he came to see you and gave you the Heart Sutra."
"There probably aren't many women in the land of Kyushu today who can enjoy such treatment." A voice with a hint of laughter suddenly came from the side.
“You…”
Nie Zhaoyi listened to the deliberate sourness in Han Jing's words, and thought of her behavior at the banquet that day. He was stunned again, and then smiled.
However, Han Jing's words reminded her that even she, a gifted girl from the Yingzhao star field, admired Jiang Lan very much.
Was she being a little ungrateful? "People are different, and Han Jing and I are also different." Nie Zhaoyi shook her head in her heart, calmed herself down, and continued to comprehend this mental method.
A few days later, at the border of Nanmozhou and Zhongtianzhou, in the residence of Xia Jin, the female military goddess of Daxia.
"I have found a way to contact Jiang Yuheng, but I don't know when he has returned to Chen Sect."
"The outside world is still searching for him. The Seven Star Origin Inheritors don't dare to show up, and he doesn't dare to come out to meet me either..."
Xia Jin was wearing soft armor, sitting upright, talking about the result of Jiang Lan's request to find Jiang Yuheng's whereabouts.
"He is a smart man. Under the current circumstances, it is indeed not appropriate for him to show up. But if he doesn't come out, then forget it. I will go to Chen Sect in person and put an end to this matter." Jiang Lan shook his head slightly.
He was not surprised by this result. He asked Xia Jin to contact Jiang Yuheng because he did not want to use the Seven Star Jade Talisman to prevent Ge Qixing from knowing the truth about Xiao Teng's death.
But now he has broken through the eighth realm, so he is not afraid even if Ge Qixing attacks him.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
As for how Xiao Teng died in the end and what the truth was, it no longer mattered whether Ge Qixing knew it or not.
"Mr. Feng, are you going to take action against the Chen Sect?"
After all, Xia Jin had practiced in Chen Sect and had deep feelings for him. Seeing him gradually go astray, he felt helpless.
"When I was going through the tribulation, there was an old guy who was secretly plotting and trying to stop me. Fortunately, he escaped."
"I haven't settled this grudge yet." Jiang Lan smiled faintly.
Xia Jin was silent. She could no longer access things of this level. Jiang Lan's cultivation level alone was already beyond her reach.
Afterwards, Jiang Lan did not stay here for long. He then controlled a divine rainbow and flew out from the sky. He did not intend to hide his identity, so he appeared in front of the world openly.
This reckoning will begin with Chen Zong, which also means that he will truly begin to rule the world.
After breaking through the eighth realm, he has not yet fully demonstrated his divine power.
Above the sky, there was a brilliant golden light. A gorgeous golden avenue stretched directly from the border of Nanmozhou into the vast mountains.
Under the trembling and surprised gazes of many monks, a spotless figure in white stood quietly in the sky, shrouded in hazy fairy mist, indescribably otherworldly.
"Saint Son Jiang Lan..."
"Didn't he say he was in the North Sea? How come he's in Nanmozhou now?"
"What is he going to do?"
Nowadays, Jiang Lan’s name is known to everyone.
As soon as he moved, it immediately caused a sensation like a tsunami. When the news spread, many monks and creatures rushed to the scene.
In Xia Jin's mansion, she learned the news, sat quietly for a moment, then sighed, picked up her armor and weapons, and controlled a divine light, rushing towards Nanmozhou.
The stars were shining brightly. As if one were among them, Jiang Lan took a step and the stars moved. A distance of thousands of miles passed in a flash. The light that reached the sky directly dimmed the sun and the moon in the sky.
To many people, that terrifying sound was like a saint patrolling the world.
All places were alarmed. Many hidden sects and families in Nanmozhou were also trembling with fear, wondering why Jiang Lan suddenly appeared here.
Deep in Nanmozhou, among the vast mountains, pavilions and palaces are hidden and shrouded in thick fog. The mountain protection formation rumbles back to life and flows, like the sun and the moon moving, making an earth-shaking sound, which is terrifying.
"A powerful enemy is coming. All disciples and elders, be prepared."
In the conference hall, Chen Sect's leader Song Shuxu stood there with a gloomy face.
His three sons, Jiang Yuheng, Jiang Yushu and Jiang Yuxu were also present. In addition, there were also many elders and senior leaders of the Chen Sect.
Many people still don’t know what has happened, and even the mountain protection formation has been activated.
"Master, what happened? Why did you suddenly activate the mountain protection formation?" an elder asked in a trembling voice.
Song Shuxu had a heavy expression on his face and said nothing more.
A breeze blew through the hall, and silently, an old man with white hair but a face as smooth as jade appeared here.
The aura on his body seemed to be there and not there, as if he was in a silent and cold void, or as if he was in an endless and profound universe.
It was Jiang Chen, the founder of the Chen Sect.
His portrait is still hanging in the meeting hall. The elders were shocked and astonished, but they quickly reacted and bowed hurriedly, calling out "Greetings, Master."
"The cause in the past is the result today, and this day has finally come."
Jiang Chen seemed to see the scene outside the mountain gate all of a sudden and sighed slightly.
The elders didn't know what was going on, and even the founder was alarmed.
"If I die in a while, the Chen Sect will be disbanded today. This matter has nothing to do with you. This is my karma. All elders and disciples, no one can seek revenge."
Jiang Chen had no intention of explaining further, he just gave the order with a serious face.
“Grandmaster…”
Song Shuxu, Jiang Yuheng and others understood the reason for this incident and felt sad and angry, but also deeply helpless.
Boom!!!
At this moment, a terrifying sound as if the mountains were shaking and the earth was trembling suddenly came from outside the mountain gate, and the earth seemed to be shaking along with it.
Many elders in the hall could hardly stand, their faces filled with horror.
"Is this a saint attacking us?" They were terrified.
"Good people don't live long, evil will last for thousands of years. Today, I will eliminate this evil that manipulates everything behind the scenes and fools the world for the sake of the land of Kyushu."
Jiang Chen's face was heavy and solemn as he stepped out, a sense of righteousness surging from his body.
His originally old and hunched body gradually became straight, and his long pale hair flashed with a hazy light and soon returned to its black and shiny color.
The whole person seemed to have suddenly become hundreds of years younger, with deep, bright eyes, a high nose bridge, and a resolute and sharp look, like an eagle's gaze and a wolf's look.
Outside the Chen Sect's mountain gate, on a cliff, Jiang Lan, his robe fluttering, stood quietly, retracting his palm that was reaching out. The Chen Sect's mountain protection formation was once set up by Jiang Chen, and there was still a trace of holy power left. It was not easy to destroy it with one palm.
The monks and living beings who had been following along from afar and watching this scene were all shocked and horrified.
"Are they actually going to attack Chen Sect? What is the grudge between Chen Sect and Saint Jiang Lan?"
Many people were shocked, not only because of Jiang Lan's current strength, but also because he suddenly came here and tried to break through the Chen Sect's mountain gate.
"Jiang Lan, you really came..."
At this moment, a sound like the sound of a long wind rolled out, shaking the clouds in the sky and causing them to collapse.
A fierce man with the eyes of an eagle and the gait of a tiger stepped out from Chen Sect. His blood and energy surged, and a long dragon of blood and energy penetrated between heaven and earth, and seemed to sink into the outer world.
The aura emanating from him was extremely powerful and terrifying, far surpassing that of an ordinary supreme power, and it even contained a trace of holy power that made one's heart tremble.
Jiang Chen looked at Jiang Lan from afar. Although they were not from the same era, their eyes met today, with lofty fighting spirit and cold murderous intent surging in them.
"Who is this person? His strength is so terrifying. The ordinary supreme powers are far from having such momentum."
"I suspect this is a semi-saint. The Chen Sect is indeed full of hidden talents. There is actually such a person."
"I know this person. He should be the founder of the Chen Sect. I didn't expect that after so many years, he is still alive." Many people were shocked.
With this kind of power, even if he is not a semi-saint, he is definitely a person who has survived nine heavenly tribulations and is invincible under the saints in the world today.
