When Fu Changling returned to the Wudao Tower, Su Wenji and Fu Yushu were already waiting there.
"I sense a surge of spiritual energy and suspect the Daoist Master is nearing a breakthrough," Su Wenji saluted respectfully. "Patriarch Fu and I have come to protect you."
Fu Changling didn't say anything. He looked up at Fu Yushu and said, "Father."
Fu Yushu stood with his sword in his arms, his throat choking with sobs. After a long moment, he finally said, "Don't be afraid. Your mother and I are both here."
"No matter what you choose," Fu Yushu said hoarsely, "we will all be with you."
Hearing this, Fu Changling looked at Fu Yushu for a long moment before he smiled and said, "I have no regrets being your two children."
"I wonder what the Heavenly Dao you have comprehended is?"
Su Wenji listened to the conversation between the father and son with some curiosity. Fu Changling stood in the Tai Chi formation and raised his head.
"The so-called Way of Heaven is actually the cycle of cause and effect. There is cause and effect, life and death, a recurring cycle, an endless cycle. For every effort, there is gain; for every plunder, there is destruction."
As Fu Changling said this, golden runes rose one by one from under his feet.
At this time, the morning light was spreading across the sky and earth inch by inch. On the Wuque Palace, Ming Yan and Ming Xiu were standing on a high place, with tens of thousands of monks at their feet.
Each of them held a bowl of wine in his hand. The monks looked up at Ming Yan and Ming Xiu. Ming Yan stepped forward and raised the wine bowl.
"We have come from the Hell of Karma, stepping on the bones of one world as a bridge. Our life and death are the fate of the two worlds."
"Today, in the battle of Qiankun City, if I win, from now on, I will have no worries in my prison. If I lose..."
Ming Yan paused for a moment, scanning the gazes of the people below him one by one. He clenched his wine bowl tightly. For some reason, the image of Xie Yuqing standing with his sword in hand came to mind. He couldn't help but laugh, and suddenly raised his voice: "I wish to be buried in Yunze with all of you brothers, sharing life and death together!"
"Respect the Demon Lord, respect the prison, do it!"
After saying that, Ming Yan raised his hand, drank the wine in the bowl, and then threw the bowl heavily to the ground.
The sound of porcelain shattering arose one after another. Ming Yanmingxiu rode the wind and led tens of thousands of cultivators towards Qiankun City.
The light fell into the Immaculate Palace Temple, slowly flowing over the statue standing with a sword in hand in the temple, and then fell on him.
He sat under the statue, twisting a lotus in his hand, closing his eyes and using his spiritual sense to explore the specific location of Qiankun City.
"Mingxiu went to Sui Yan's place."
He clearly sensed a shift in spiritual energy in one direction and changed his mind temporarily: "Everyone else, follow Ming Yan and head in the direction of Xie Yuqing."
After receiving Jiang Yebai's order, everyone separated immediately.
Ming Xiu led his men towards Qin Yan, while Ming Yan took Yue Sinan and others to the front line where Xie Yuqing was stationed.
When the Wuque Palace took action, the wind and snow at the Lin family mountain gate had just stopped. There was a long horn sound, and then thousands of monks wearing pure white masks with different patterns painted on them, carrying coffins the size of sword cases on their backs, and stepping on long swords, rushed out of the Lin family mountain gate in the wind and snow, heading towards the rising sun.
"For millions of years, the souls of life have been circulating in Yunze, and spiritual energy is endless. Humans are the spirits of all things and should be the source of spiritual energy. All good deeds are the source of spiritual energy, while all evil consumes spiritual energy. When good and evil are balanced, spiritual energy is balanced. When there is more good in the world, there is more spiritual energy."
"Cultivators live on spiritual energy. Their existence, according to the Heavenly Dao, should be the one that produces the most spiritual energy. Therefore, the teachings of the founders of each sect, when they founded their schools, all advocate for good and punish evil. This is not just the virtue of our ancestors, but the law of Heaven."
"Follow the rules and you will live; go against them and you will die."
As Fu Changling spoke, he drew talismans in the air.
"So, the calamity of Yunzeye Prison is not due to fighting," Fu Changling said, light filtering through the glazed roof and falling on his golden runes, "but rather, the development of the Great Dao."
While Fu Changling was speaking, Lin had already arrived outside the first-line city gate where Xie Yuqing was stationed.
Xie Yuqing led the monks to stand in front of the city gate. She was wearing the uniform of a disciple of Hongmeng Tiangong, holding a sword in one hand and the other hand behind her back. Behind her were the monks coming forward, and on the city wall was the sword formation formed by the Lin clan members, densely packed like a net.
Behind Xie Yuqing's city is the second line of defense, a formation formed by the Sword Sect, the Taoist Sect, the Confucian Sect, and the Yue clan.
After the three sects and the Yue family, there is Qiankun City, where all the core disciples, monks and ordinary people are located.
At the top of Qiankun City is the Enlightenment Tower. Fu Changling stands on the tower, overlooking all living beings.
Ming Xiu and his soldiers were the first to arrive at the city where Qin Yan was stationed. Qin Yan stood on the city wall, sword in hand. He watched the dust and smoke rolling in. When Ming Xiu was about to reach the city a hundred feet away, Qin Yan leaped out with his sword in hand and shouted, "Kill!"
At this moment, the cultivators brought by Ming Yan also arrived outside Xie Yuqing's city. The cultivators on both sides converged and fought like a tide. Xie Yuqing raised his eyes and saw Ming Yan floating high up.
Ming Yan was dressed in purple, holding a long whip. His clear eyes reflected Xie Yuqing's appearance. He looked at her for a moment and smiled slowly: "Senior Sister, please step aside now. I can ensure that you will have no worries in your future cultivation."
"Why don't you retreat?"
Xie Yuqing asked coldly, Ming Yan smiled and said, "Senior Sister, if this is a matter of life and death for me, I can give it all to you."
“But now I am burdened with the life and death of a whole world.”
"Then I also give the same answer." Xie Yuqing raised his eyes, his eyes frosty, "Wuzhen Demon Lord, please."
As soon as the words fell, the two men rushed towards each other like lightning. Brilliant light exploded one after another, and the long whip and sword intent intertwined, forcing the surrounding monks to avoid.
In close combat, sword cultivators always have a huge advantage, but Ming Yan advanced many years earlier than Xie Yuqing. Even though Xie Yuqing's sword intent is extremely domineering, the two still fought hard.
Yue Sinan stared at the gap between the two men's fight, and with a flick of his hand, the puppet flew towards Xie Yuqing's flaw when the two men were fighting. At this moment, a sword fell from the sky and blocked the big knife swung down by Yue Sinan's puppet.
Yue Sinan looked up and saw Lin Ya Yufeng in mid-air. He was staring at her quietly. Yue Sinan sneered, "It's been many years since we last met, and Patriarch Lin is still as elegant as ever."
Lin Ya was silent for a long time, then said, "The Lin family has been in seclusion for nearly twenty years. Yue Sinan, let's put aside all the grudges."
"When others did evil to you, you didn't tell them to stop. Now that I've become an evil person, you tell me to stop?"
Yue Sinan laughed out loud: "If you want to kill me, then kill me. If you want to beat me, then beat me. Why are you talking so much nonsense? Just come!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Yue Sinan waved her sleeves, and thousands of insect dolls flew out from her sleeves towards the crowd. Lin Yajian immediately spun back into her hand, and she wiped the sword with her finger. The tip of the sword lit up and slashed forward. The overwhelming flames instantly rushed towards the insect dolls.
Fu Changling stood on the Enlightenment Tower, and the runes around him became more and more full.
"What is the evolution of the Great Dao?"
Su Wenji didn't understand. Fu Yushu looked up at the runes written by Fu Changling and listened to Fu Changling's steady voice: "We can't bury the truth with a fight. If we get used to solving problems with plunder and killing, the destruction of Yunze is only a matter of time."
"Yun Ze owes Karma Prison a debt and must repay it. The people of Yun Ze are innocent and must be protected. To do this, someone must come and practice the great Dao with their own body."
"So-called comprehending the Way of Heaven," Fu Changling closed his eyes. "Rather than comprehending, it's more like sacrificing one's life."
"Qin Yan and I were able to be reborn not only because you were willing to give up the chance to ascend in your previous life, but also because I, in my previous life, ultimately sacrificed my life for Yunze. To the Heavenly Dao, this kindness is the reason why it is willing to give us this opportunity."
"And now, if we want to save Yunze, we must follow the rules of heaven."
"I paid off Yunze's debt to Karma Prison, and all living beings in Yunze must learn to pay off their own debts."
As Fu Changling spoke, runes were already written all around him. He sat on the ground and closed his eyes.
Runes circulated rapidly around his body, and he began to desperately absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The spiritual energy flowed through his body, and then returned to the world. He seemed to have merged with heaven and earth.
He is like a breeze, a dewdrop, and a ray of sunshine.
He walked out of the Enlightenment Tower and crossed the vast sky and earth.
He saw the raging war, saw Xie Yuqing and Ming Yan fighting each other relentlessly, and watched Lin Ya and Yue Sinan fighting with swords.
The overall combat power of the demon cultivators was far higher than Yunze's. Even if there were top cultivators like Xie Yuqing and Lin Ya who could fight against one or two of them, by noon, the first line of defense was still broken.
Countless demon cultivators trampled on corpses and rushed into the second line of defense. The disciples of the three sects looked at the demon cultivators rushing in like a wave, shouted loudly, and rushed forward as well.
Fu Changling followed the breeze and continued forward, and arrived at the city where Qin Yan was.
The city was originally just a bait to confuse the enemy. Even if it was above the tribulation level, there was only one Qin Yan in charge.
Behind Qin Yan were all ordinary people, and there were only a few monks left who had originally followed Qin Yan to defend the city.
When Fu Changling went over, he saw Qin Yan standing in front of thousands of soldiers with just a sword. He drew a line under his feet, ignoring the corpses piling up behind the line. He stood there quietly, not letting the battle line move forward a single step.
Ming Xiu was covered in wounds, and he gasped softly, "Yan Ming, you are from Yeyu! You are protecting Yunze so much, how can you be worthy of the people who sent you to Yunze, how can you be worthy of your mother!"
"I feel sorry for them," Qin Yan looked up at Ming Xiu, "I will atone for my sins when you return to the Prison of Karma."
"Atonement?"
Ming Xiu couldn't help but laugh: "What do you mean by atonement? If you really want to atone, then go back with your sword and kill Fu Changling!"
"I owe the karma of hell, and I shall pay it with my life."
Qin Yan's expression was calm: "But the power of the Karma Prison should not be spread to the world. Today, I am here and I will not let you take a single step forward."
"So, no matter whether we win or lose, you don't want to live anymore?" Ming Xiu sneered, and Qin Yan looked up at him.
"Qin Yan is from the Yeyu Prison, but he inherited Yunze's nature. He was not meant to exist in this world. Rest assured, everyone. After I send your souls to the underworld," Qin Yan flipped the long sword in his hand, "Qin Yan will follow you. On the road to the underworld, we will settle our grudges."
After he finished speaking, people rushed towards Qin Yan like a tide.
In the endless waves, Qin Yan cut the flowing water with his sword and protected the red gate with his body.
Fu Changling turned into a breeze, following him around and helping him push away the waves of people rushing towards him.
He stared at Qin Yan's eyes in the morning light. From beginning to end, from the beginning to the end, whether in the past life or in this life, Qin Yan always held on to his sword, repaying gratitude and grudges, and paying off cause and effect.
He never asked for a report on what he had given, and he repaid everything he owed with his life.
This is Qin Yan's way.
And Qin Yan is his Tao.
The runes around Fu Changling lit up, and brilliant light shot up into the sky. The bells of various sects rang loudly, and birds flew up from the forest, rushing all the way to the Enlightenment Tower.
All around him were sounds of fighting and hacking, and the world was filled with murderous aura, but Qin Yan always felt that there was someone who seemed to be accompanying him.
At the moment the bell rang, he seemed to vaguely hear a voice saying "take care", but the sound of fighting on the battlefield was too loud, and he didn't know whether this voice "take care" was an illusion or reality.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathered and poured into Fu Changling's body. At this moment, Jiang Yebai suddenly opened his eyes.
Found it!
The brilliant light swept from the Wujiu Palace towards the Qiankun City like a huge wave. Wherever it passed, it destroyed everything in its path. All living beings were swallowed up by this huge force and turned into spiritual energy to strengthen this huge wave.
But in an instant, people outside Qiankun City could sense this astonishing magical power rushing towards them. Xie Yuqing looked up and knew something was wrong. She jumped forward without hesitation and rushed to the front of the crowd. Mingyan realized what she was doing and shouted in shock, "Don't go!"
He knew Jiang Yebai's strength too well, and knew clearly how terrible the consequences would be if Xie Yuqing took on Jiang Yebai's earth-shaking attack!
Fear was growing wildly in his heart, but from the moment Xie Yuqing sensed the danger to the moment she rushed to the front, the long sword in her hand turned in the air and opened a sword formation, and then Jiang Yebai's spiritual energy rushed towards him wildly, all this happened in just an instant.
Shangguan Mingyan had no time to think. He just followed instinctively. The moment the powerful spiritual energy rushed over, he suddenly stood in front of Xie Yuqing.
At the same time, Lin Ya saw a ray of magic light rushing towards him. He jumped up and hugged Yue Sinan. The dagger in Yue Sinan's hand decisively stabbed into his abdomen. The moment Lin Ya felt the severe pain, the long sword also pierced from behind Yue Sinan and went straight through both of them.
The Dharma light swept the two people inside, and their bodies disappeared bit by bit in the glow.
Yue Sinan gritted his teeth and stared at Lin Ya: "Lin Ya, do you hate me so much?"
Lin Ya smiled gently, and he raised his hand to touch Yue Sinan's face.
"I don't hate you," he said in a low voice, "I just hope that we can go together."
"In the next life, I will never give up on you again. I will protect you well, Yue Sinan."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Ya's spiritual power exploded violently, and after Xie Yuqing, he once again resisted the advancement of Jiang Yebai's magic light.
These two interceptions made everyone react, and the top cultivators jumped in front of the Dharma light and tried their best to fight against it.
At the forefront of the battle line, Shangguan Mingyan's magic circle was holding on. He held Xie Yuqing tightly in the strong wind and poured all his spiritual power into it. In this magic light that could not be blocked at all, he created a small safe place and protected Xie Yuqing in the middle.
His body was being torn apart inch by inch, and he held her tightly, not letting the spiritual power touch her at all.
"Akihiko, get out of the way."
Jiang Yebai's voice came from a distance, cold but with a hint of pity.
Ming Yan hugged Xie Yuqing. He couldn't speak, but expressed his intentions with his actions.
At the top of the Enlightenment Tower, Fu Changling poured all the spiritual energy into his body. He guided them to flow, to comprehend, and then to gather into substance.
"Shangguan Mingyan!" Jiang Yebai shouted, "Get out of the way!"
"Demon Lord..." Shangguan Mingyan trembled in pain, "This is... my... wife."
Jiang Yebai didn't say anything. He sensed that Fu Changling was about to break through. He lowered his eyes and murmured, "Sorry."
The moment the sound fell, brilliant light rose up like a huge wave, and a strong wind blew. Xie Yuqing was held tightly by Shangguan Mingyan, struggling to support the sword formation, and could hardly open his eyes.
At that moment, a golden light rolled out from the Enlightenment Tower.
Wherever the brilliant light passed, dead branches sprouted leaves and green grass broke through the soil. It was clearly leaving in such a hurry, but wherever it passed, people only felt that it was as gentle as a spring breeze blowing on the ground.
The brilliant light reached the front line neither fast nor slow. Everyone felt that the strong wind suddenly stopped and all things came back to life. Fu Changling's Dharma light was like the sea, wrapping up Jiang Yebai's brilliant light and going away into the distance.
Everyone stared blankly at the broken trees around them, which stood upright again as if someone had helped them up. The uprooted grass returned to its original position. The deer that had been devoured fell back to the ground in a daze. After being stunned for a moment, it shook its head and jumped away.
"Shangguan Mingyan."
Xie Yuqing was being held by someone, her whole body trembling, she murmured blankly: "Shangguan Mingyan."
Shangguan Mingyan didn't respond, he just held him quietly.
He felt the peace of his soul, as if he had found a place to rest for the first time in so many years.
"I know, you don't understand."
Shangguan Mingyan's body became almost transparent. He slowly let her go and stood in front of her.
They looked at each other face to face, the wide sleeves of their purple and white clothes were blown together by the wind, and Xie Yuqing stared blankly at the young man in front of him.
He has a pair of red eyes, which seem to be stained with blood, but are also extra gentle.
"But, if there is an afterlife," Shangguan Mingyan smiled slowly, "I still want to meet you, Xie Yuqing."
Xie Yuqing was speechless.
She didn't know why, but she and Shangguan Mingyan recalled the night they got married at Wangu Cliff.
Shangguan Mingyan was still her junior fellow apprentice that night. He was waiting by the wall in his wedding attire. Then he saw the girl in her wedding gown, with a phoenix crown on her head and a long sword in her hand, stepping over the high wall and falling from a height with a cry of "Mingyan!"
Moonlight, roses, and a girl in a wedding dress.
It was like the most beautiful gift God had given him, so he hurriedly reached out and embraced the girl who brought the night breeze and the fragrance of flowers into his arms.
"Thank you Yuqing."
Shangguan Mingyan smiled, his body gradually disappeared, he leaned forward and placed a cold kiss on Xie Yuqing's lips.
Xie Yuqing stared blankly at the person in front of her turning into golden particles. She had no time to react. She just watched as this person disappeared between heaven and earth with a "I like you".
The moment he disappeared, Xie Yuqing's tears rolled down.
She raised her head and watched the gold grains go away into the distance, following the direction the wind blew them.
She felt as if a name was being carved into her heart bit by bit by a chisel.
Shangguan Mingyan.
The living began to rise from the ground. Both those from Yeyu and Yunze were exhausted. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth slowly flowed. As everyone was stunned, Jiang Yebai's figure slowly appeared in front of Qiankun City. He was dressed in a white Taoist robe with a blue shirt, one hand holding a sword, the other behind his back. He looked just like the young man who had first arrived in Yunze and challenged hundreds of sects with his sword.
"Jiang Yebai of Karma Prison," Jiang Yebai raised his head and said in a cold voice, "I hereby challenge Daojun Huayang to a duel!"
Hearing this, Yang Jun picked up the sword from the ground and stood up. Just as he was about to move forward, he felt someone holding down his sword-holding hand.
Everyone turned around and saw Fu Changling, wearing a black robe embroidered with golden cloud patterns and a golden crown on his head, walking out of the city gate step by step.
"Yun Ze Fu Changling," Fu Changling raised his hand and pulled the sword out from his spine inch by inch, then calmly pointed it at the ground and said calmly, "Fight."
The moment the sound fell, the surrounding sky spun and the two of them instantly arrived among the vast starry universe, striking towards each other like thunder.
The two worlds' most elite cultivators clashed, and ordinary lands simply couldn't withstand the devastation their spiritual power wrought. They could only temporarily create a small world specifically for the two to fight.
The vast spiritual power collided in the small world. Each sword of the two carried the power of heaven and collided fiercely with each other.
They said nothing, but used the most primitive sword moves to confront and fight again and again.
The grudges that have accumulated for thousands of years explode between every fight and return to calm.
The life and death of two worlds, the love of one person, all depend on this sword.
"You shouldn't have taken advantage of me," Fu Changling finally spoke. He channeled the power of the stars into his sword and swung it fiercely at the man before him. Jiang Yebai leaped forward, his sword tip channeling the waters of mountains and rivers like the Milky Way, blocking Fu Changling's blade.
The starlight and river water collided and dispersed, turning into a torrential rain all over the world. Jiang Yebai's sword transformed into thousands of swords, and the sword light rained down like rain, rushing towards Fu Changling: "I am saving him. It should be you, not him who should remember you."
"You've brought him nothing but pain." Jiang Yebai's sword flashed closer, and Fu Changling leaped forward, using his body as a sword, diving into the sword formation and rushing towards Jiang Yebai. He heard him say, "If it weren't for you, Yan Ming wouldn't be in so much pain!"
"Have you ever asked him if he wants this pain?"
Fu Changling's sword touched Jiang Yebai, and a brilliant light burst out in the air. Then his sword stabbed in the air like a spirit snake. Ordinary people could not see his movements at all. They only saw him raise his hand, but in fact he had stabbed Jiang Yebai tens of thousands of times.
Jiang Yebai frantically resisted Fu Changling's attacks, listening to Fu Changling say, "Brother never feared pain; he feared deception. You sealed his memory when he was young, making him unaware of his origins and raising him as a disciple of Yunze. This is the first time you've lied to him."
As he spoke, Fu Changling spun around and swung his sword towards Jiang Yebai with a "ding" sound.
His sword was mixed with the power of heaven, which made Jiang Yebai's arm numb and he retreated quickly.
Fu Changling chased after him and stabbed him again: "You are the Palace Master of Hongmeng Heavenly Palace, but you secretly colluded with Yeyu and used him to get close to me, asking me to help you open Yeyu's Qi channels. This is the second time you have lied to him."
As he spoke, Fu Changling struck Jiang Yebai's sword with his sword, knocking him back three feet. He then slashed his sword from bottom to top in an arc, "You knew he was deeply in love with you, yet you faked your death in front of him to force him to become a demon cultivator. This was your third deception."
Fu Changling said as he chased after Jiang Yebai and stabbed him, "You knew he harbored Yunze in his heart, but you forced him to become your right-hand man, erased his memory, and forced him to use the Karma Prison technique to kill people and overcome his tribulation. This is your fourth deception."
"As his master, as his elder, you don't want to protect him and accompany him, but instead you deceive and use him again and again." Fu Changling thrust the tip of his sword straight into Jiang Yebai's chest. Just as it was about to hit him, Jiang Yebai hurriedly retracted his sword and held it across his chest. Fu Changling's sword tip clashed with a ding sound, hitting the blade of Jiang Yebai's sword. Fu Changling looked up at him and said coldly, "You deserve to die."
"I deserve to die?"
Jiang Yebai laughed: "What can I do if you want me to?!"
Jiang Yebai whipped his sword out, slashing at Fu Changling at breakneck speed. Fu Changling quickly dodged, noticing that Jiang Yebai seemed enraged, his sword swifter and faster. "There's no escape in Karma Prison. So many lives depend on me. Do you think I don't want him to have a good life? Do you think I don't want him to grow up like an ordinary Yunze disciple?!"
Jiang Yebai spun the sword in his hand, Fu Changling leaned back and bent over to avoid it, kicking the hilt with his toes. Jiang Yebai drew a dagger with his other hand and stabbed it towards Fu Changling's abdomen.
Fu Changling floated away lightly like a feather, following the arc of the sword wind. Jiang Yebai said hurriedly, "But I have no choice. He is originally from the Karma Prison. Just like me, he deserves to sacrifice his life and death for the Karma Prison. I have made him happy for so many years. If it weren't for you, he would have never known anything."
"If I die, he will become a demon. It's only natural for him to hate Yunze and become a demon cultivator."
"I will secretly support him all the way. He will become the Demon Lord. When the gates of the Hell of Karma are opened, I will help him defeat Yunze, and he will become the true ruler of Yunze!"
"I asked him to cultivate the Way of Mercy for his own good. I didn't let him know anything because I felt sorry for him. I faked my own death to frame him to pave the way for him. It wasn't me who harmed him, it was you!"
Jiang Yebai swung his sword and when Fu Changling blocked the sword, he kicked Fu Changling hard. Fu Changling was kicked away and hit the floating rocks hard, spitting out blood.
Jiang Yebai followed closely, slashing wildly. Fu Changling dodged left and right. At the moment when Jiang Yebai was about to stab him, the Qinggu fan in his left hand slipped from his sleeve and pressed to his lips. He murmured: "The world enters the law, the formation is set!"
Countless golden stripes rose up like a net, instantly binding Jiang Yebai's body and the sword. In an instant, the golden light suddenly cut the sword in Jiang Yebai's hand. Fu Changling stood in front of him with the sword in hand. He listened to Jiang Yebai staring at him and said hoarsely: "I am not wrong."
"You may not be wrong about the two realms. But you are wrong, Senior Brother Yu."
Fu Changling raised his hand and inserted the sword back into his spine, gently dropping it to the ground. The small world around him shattered, and the two returned to their original positions.
The sun fell fiercely on the wild grass, and the wind blew with the smell of blood and heat. Jiang Yebai held a broken sword, and Fu Changling held a fan in his hand, with his hands behind his back.
"Why don't you kill me?"
Jiang Yebai panted lightly. Fu Changling smiled and said, "I am not fighting with you for the sake of the two worlds. I just want to vent my anger on behalf of my senior brother. If I really kill you, he will be sad."
"If you don't kill me," Jiang Yebai sneered, "I won't be grateful to you."
"No need for your gratitude."
"Then what are you planning to do?" Jiang Yebai frowned. "Are you planning to separate the territory from the Prison of Karma?"
"I just want to reach an agreement with the Demon Lord."
Fu Changling spoke calmly. Jiang Yebai frowned, but Fu Changling remained calm. "The Demon Lord is right. Yunze's extraction of Karma Prison's spiritual energy was indeed Yunze's fault, and Yunze is willing to pay the price for it. I can help Karma Prison recover its spiritual energy, but the Demon Lord must promise me that from now on, Karma Prison must abandon its original cultivation method and cultivate inner alchemy, practicing good deeds and eliminating evil, and ending the war. The two worlds will suspend travel for a hundred years. After a hundred years, the Lord will decide for himself whether to open the gates to Yunze Karma Prison."
"You help Yeyu recover his spiritual energy?"
Jiang Yebai laughed: "Where did you get this ability from?"
"I just comprehended the Way of Heaven," Fu Changling laughed, "I have obtained the magic array granted by the Way of Heaven. I wish to transform into a spiritual vein to provide for the two worlds."
"What did you say?"
Hearing this, everyone looked over. Jiang Yebai was shocked: "You transformed into a spiritual vein?!"
Fu Changling's expression was calm: "What do you think, my Lord?"
"Then..." Jiang Yebai was speechless for a moment. After a long while, he actually asked, "What about Yan Ming?"
"Brother, your feelings for me are still young and not yet deep." Fu Changling smiled, his expression pleading. "Master, please give me more guidance. After I die, perhaps Brother's path will be fulfilled."
"Fu Changling..."
Xie Yuqing spoke hurriedly, as if to dissuade him, but Fu Changling did not say anything. He just looked at Jiang Yebai, waiting for Jiang Yebai's response.
Jiang Yebai looked at him. No one dared to agree, but no one dared not to.
This is the way of survival given by heaven to the two worlds.
After a long time, Jiang Yebai said with difficulty: "Okay."
"Then please, Lord, bring along the cultivators above the Tribulation Crossing Stage to help me build the formation."
As Fu Changling spoke, he turned around, took a step forward, and disappeared from the spot. When he reappeared, he was already on the Enlightenment Tower.
Fu Yushu, Su Wenji and others were still there. Fu Changling raised his hand and waved it, and dozens of magic arrays were set up between the city where Qin Yan was and Qiankun City.
"Wen Ji," Fu Changling turned to look at Su Wen Ji, "Wait a moment, stop Senior Brother, and let him come over."
Su Wenji was stunned for a moment, then raised his hand and saluted respectfully.
Afterwards, all the surviving cultivators above the Tribulation Crossing Stage in the two worlds of Yeyu and Yunze, except Qin Yan, appeared in the middle of the Enlightenment Tower.
Fu Changling had explained the construction method of the formation in the voice transmission. Everyone chose a position to stand around the formation in the tower. Fu Changling stood in the formation, raised his hand, and left behind ten scrolls.
"These are the ten volumes of the Taixu Yin-Yang Sutra. These ten volumes contain the laws of heaven and earth and guide people to be good. When A-Yan comes back, I will give these ten volumes to him. I hope he will study them carefully and achieve the great Dao."
As he spoke, Fu Changling glanced at everyone and said, "The Fu family possesses the power of speech. If not controlled by magic, they can speak of everything in the world. In exchange for fulfilling their words, the Heavenly Dao will take everything from this person."
"Wait a moment, everyone, while you build the magic circle, I will use the Word Spirit Technique to restore the spiritual energy of the two worlds. If there are any bones left, please refine me into spiritual veins and mountains and rivers, and leave me in the world forever."
"Changling..."
Fu Yushu finally couldn't help but speak. Fu Changling turned his head and looked at Fu Yushu who was standing beside him.
Fu Yushu held the Tanxin Sword in his arms. He seemed to be trying his best to control himself. There was moisture in his eyes. Fu Changling saw the reluctance in his eyes. He smiled gently and said, "Father, I am an unfilial son. I hope you will forgive me."
Fu Yushu didn't say anything. After a long while, he laughed. His voice was trembling, but he still choked out his words: "It's okay, you... you're fine. Ah Chen and I are very happy."
Fu Changling didn't say anything. He smiled, turned his head and looked around.
Wherever his eyes moved, Xie Yuqing knelt down first, followed by the people around him. A moment later, the cultivator who had been watching the scene inside the tower with his spiritual sense followed suit and knelt down.
When one person knelt, ten thousand people followed. After people knelt on the ground like a wave, the birds and animals in the forest seemed to sense something and raised their heads to look towards the Enlightenment Tower.
"Thank you, Saint."
Xie Yuqing choked up and spoke, and everyone called Fu Changling "Saint".
Fu Changling looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help laughing.
"I'm not a saint, I'm just an ordinary person."
He is afraid, he is weak, and he also hopes that he can live a good life, have a home, and have loved ones.
It's just that he loves someone.
That person loves this world and these mountains and rivers.
So he followed in his footsteps.
He died in the previous life, and Fu Changling had no one to rely on, so he sacrificed his life to continue Yunze.
While he was alive in this life, Fu Changling had something in mind, so he sacrificed his life to protect the people.
"Fu Changling saved the world twice, and became a saint twice," Fu Changling laughed, "all for one person."
As he spoke, Fu Changling sat down cross-legged, twirling a lotus in his hand. Everyone followed suit and sat down. A moment later, light rose from every seat, and the magic circle under Fu Changling's feet twisted.
"Heaven and earth cannot do this," Fu Changling slowly chanted the spell to break the Fu family's silence curse, "May the spiritual energy of the two worlds revive and usher in another prosperous era."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone noticed that spiritual energy was flowing out of Fu Changling. Wherever the spiritual energy passed, green leaves sprouted, grass broke through the soil, the dry land was filled with grass, and the dried-up river began to flow again.
All of this spread infinitely around. Qin Yan was standing among the corpses, gasping for breath, when he saw green grass growing under his feet. All the corpses turned into soil and merged into the land beneath his feet.
The wind carried a familiar spiritual energy, and the grass beneath his feet quickly grew lush and green. A small flower quietly blossomed beneath his feet, then straightened up and blossomed brilliantly.
Qin Yan stared blankly at the grass growing, the trees growing, and the flowers blooming.
He couldn't help but turn around and look at the Enlightenment Tower in the distance.
The majestic spiritual power continued to extend from the direction of the Enlightenment Tower to the two worlds. Qin Yan opened his mouth, and Fu Changling's smile last night flashed in his mind.
"Ayan, actually, you can't let go of Karma Prison, right?"
"Brother, give me a kiss. There is a way to solve everything."
"Brother," the man stood at the door. The morning light broke through the dusk in the distance, lengthening his shadow. He had his back to him and said with a choked voice, "I like you so much."
"Fu Changling..."
Qin Yan's heart trembled, and he suddenly realized something. He ran all the way towards the Enlightenment Tower. However, after rushing forward for only a few miles, the first magic door appeared invisibly in front of him.
That method was created by Fu Changling. He seemed to be sitting in front of him, looking at him calmly.
Qin Yan's hands were shaking as he held the sword. He almost uncontrollably used his spiritual energy as he swung the sword, splitting the door in half with a bang.
Such a huge movement made Qiankun City tremble.
Su Wenji stood up without hesitation and led his men out.
Qin Yan chopped his way through the magic left by Fu Changling. Every movement was so loud that everyone could feel it. He was like an army of thousands, crushing all living beings with one sword.
Fu Changling closed his eyes and could no longer sense the outside world. He only felt that the formation under his feet was continuously drawing his spiritual power, turning him into mountains, rivers, stars, and the light of the sun and moon.
The Enlightenment Tower could not withstand the magic array given by the Heavenly Dao, and collapsed layer by layer.
Qin Yan chopped through the obstacles set up by Fu Changling with his sword. By the time he reached Qiankun City, he was already exhausted, but he still stood there with his sword. Su Wenji led his men to the gate of Qiankun City. He looked at Qin Yan, who was panting heavily, and couldn't help but say, "Ayan, don't go any further."
"I want to see Fu Changling."
Qin Yan panted softly. Su Wenji looked at his sword with a calm expression: "What will you do when you see him?"
What to do?
He is doing the right thing and making the right choice.
Exchanging one person for two worlds is Qin Yan's usual choice.
It is the great way, it is justice, it promotes good, it is the way of heaven.
But the moment Su Wenji asked, he felt that all his past beliefs were surging.
He wanted to ask why.
Fu Changling has never been a bad person, and Fu Changling has never done anything bad. Why did it have to be him, only him?
There are so many people in this world who do evil and go unpunished.
Why does Fu Changling, such a good man, have to bear everything in two lifetimes?
His heart seemed to be grasped tightly by someone, being tortured back and forth with each cut. All his beliefs and persistence collapsed at that moment.
"I'm going to take him away."
He spoke hoarsely, "Your mistakes are your own responsibility. Fu Changling did nothing wrong. Even if both worlds are gone, it has nothing to do with him."
When he said this, Qin Yan clearly realized that in his heart, he could die, but Fu Changling could not.
He felt the emotions deep in his heart growing wildly. The love from his last life, the attachment from his last life, the love from his last life, the feelings that he had restrained, endured, refused to speak of, and even felt ashamed of in his last life, all came rushing back like crazy.
He just wants to like someone and wants him to live a good life.
He just
