Let’s not talk about An Zhisu’s pregnancy for now.
The story of Chang Geng Zhenren of Kunlun giving birth to a baby soon spread throughout the world.
A first-grade golden elixir and a first-grade immortal infant were equivalent to crushing one's peers in terms of rank, so much so that everyone stopped discussing the matter of the Taiyin Sword Master and started discussing whether a first-grade immortal infant could be guaranteed to become a Daluo Golden Immortal.
The Shushan people were naturally very aggrieved, but the Taiyin Sword Master and the Taiyin Suming Sword made an agreement that they would advance to the Nascent Soul stage on their own and would never accept any outside assistance, which left the Shushan high-level officials helpless.
Su Jian told the situation to many peak masters, and everyone looked at each other in confusion, unable to think of any solution.
Not long after Ling Yunpo returned to Qingluo Peak, he was called by Su Jian to the Demon Locking Tower to discuss countermeasures.
"Qing Heng," Su Jian asked Ling Yunpo at the bottom of the Demon Locking Tower, "Kunlun is using Chang Geng's infant formation to suppress us again. How do you think Shushan should respond?"
Ling Yunpo complained in his heart: "You should go and discuss this matter with the peak masters and elders! Why are you asking me, a Jindan Zhenren?"
However, only the Long-browed Immortal, Su Jian and himself were present. They happened to be the third generation of master and apprentice, and the future successor to the power of Mount Shu.
Su Jian asked himself this, which seemed like a test.
Ling Yunpo hesitated for a moment and replied:
"There's no need to fight with Kunlun."
"Why is that?" Su Jian asked with raised eyebrows.
If someone else said this, he would definitely sneer at the other person for being cowardly, but his own apprentice is known to be intelligent, so it is not easy to make a direct judgment. Let's listen to his reasons.
"It's very simple." Ling Yunpo replied, "If I want to defeat Kunlun in this regard, there is only one way, and that is for me to defeat Chang Geng in a duel."
"That's right." Su Jian and the Long-browed Immortal nodded in unison.
Defeating the opponent proves that you are stronger than him. This is the quickest, simplest and most convincing way.
“But Kunlun knows this and will never let Chang Geng fight me.” Ling Yunpo continued, “The reason why he was able to form an infant so quickly is because Kunlun Taiqing Sect invested resources in this area and spared no effort to promote his path.”
"Even if I hadn't made a vow with Taiyin Suming Sword, even if Shushan tried its best to support my cultivation, could I catch up with Master Chang Geng's speed of improvement?"
His question made Su Jian and Changmei Xianren silent.
Both of them wanted to answer "yes", but the other party was a person with a clear mind of Taoism, and he had an advantage in practicing Taoism. He was also practicing "Nine Heavens Pure Land Realm Mantra". Comparing his cultivation level with his was like comparing sword-riding skills between a casual cultivator and the Master of Taiyin Sword - the gap in hardware was overwhelming, so how could they compare?
Because of the different levels of cultivation, the other party can naturally use the excuse of "not bullying the weak" to refuse your invitation to a duel.
The Shushan Shangqing Sect is not some evil sect. If they can't win the duel, will they just launch a sneak attack? Impossible.
"Are you just going to give up and not fight?" Su Jian frowned and asked again.
What are you arguing about? Why do you want me to be so hard on myself?
Ling Yunpo complained in his heart and said:
"It's not impossible to fight."
"What do you mean?" Su Jian and Changmei Immortal's eyes lit up.
"Some time ago, Kunlun fought a great battle with the Demon Cult and lost a lot of territory." Ling Yunpo replied, "Although it was gradually recaptured later, it ultimately exposed the fact that Kunlun cultivators are not good at fighting and can only rely on their realm to suppress others."
"If the Demon Cult attacks one day and Shushan is able to win beautifully, the world will naturally compare it with Kunlun's previous poor performance. Who is stronger and who is weaker, is there any need to say?"
This statement just hit the spot for Su Jian and the Long-Eyebrowed Immortal: What's the point of comparing the realms of cultivation? A real man should fight with real swords and guns!
"That's all." The Long-Eyebrowed Immortal nodded and said to Su Jian, "Pay attention to the movements of the Demon Cult recently. If there's a chance, wipe them out!"
"Yes." Su Jian agreed immediately.
Only after leaving the Demon Locking Tower did Ling Yunpo breathe a sigh of relief.
Finally I got myself out of this situation.
"A Jing." He asked in his mind, "Did you sense the fragment of the Heaven-Repairing Stone?"
"It's in the sword pillar behind the Long-Eyebrowed Immortal." Kunlun Jing hesitated, "It seems to be used to consolidate the seal formation of the Demon Locking Tower."
"Really?" Ling Yunpo said thoughtfully, "Now that the Long Eyebrow Immortal has resigned from his position as the sect's guardian immortal, he has been staying at the bottom floor of the Locking Demon Tower all day long. It's not easy to get this fragment."
"Does that mean... we still have to find a way to invite him back, so that he can participate more in Shushan's government affairs and spend less time in the Demon Locking Tower?"
"Hey!" Kunlun Jing couldn't help but say, "Did you hear that? I said, the fragments of the Heaven-Bulding Stone were used to seal the Demon Locking Tower!"
"So what?" Ling Yunpo asked in surprise, "If we really find the right opportunity, we have to get the fragments even if it means breaking the Demon Locking Tower! I don't need to tell you which is more serious, the world-destroying catastrophe or the Demon Locking Tower leaking, right?"
"But this is different." Kunlun Jing said worriedly, "If the world-destroying disaster cannot be saved, it will not matter to you; but if the Demon Locking Tower is leaked, the killings and karma caused by the demons running rampant outside will all be counted on your head!"
When Ling Yunpo heard this, a warm feeling spread in his heart.
I thought she couldn't bear to see so many people suffer, but I didn't expect that she was thinking about me?
"Don't worry, Ah Jing." He said gently, "Even if they want to take the Heaven-Repairing Stone from Mount Shu by force, I will find a way to prevent the demons in the Demon Locking Tower from escaping."
"Well, that's good." Kunlun Jing breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he did not insist on his own way.
"You've become quite powerful." Su Mingjian said suddenly in his sea of consciousness, "You're clearly worried about the loss of lives, but you speak as if you're thinking about him. Your rhetoric skills have improved!"
"Ah?" Kunlun Mirror was puzzled.
Su Mingjian was stunned for a moment, and said incredulously:
"No way, you're not really worried about him, are you?"
"What else?" Kunlun Jing sighed and said, "If I don't remind him, what should I do if he really commits a serious sin and attracts the attention of the Heavenly Dao?"
Having said this, she paused for a moment and continued:
"He came to look for these fragments of the Heaven-Repairing Stone because of my request. If he really committed a sin, it would of course be my responsibility. So what if I'm worried a little?"
"Nothing." Su Mingjian said sullenly, sneering in his heart.
Who is that person in the mirror who once told me that "cooperation with him was just a pure exchange of interests"?
What's more, with Chen Guanshui's flexibility, do we need to worry that he will sacrifice himself and bear so much karma in order to get the fragments?
Impossible, absolutely impossible! Who do you think he is?
When Su Mingjian thought of this, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.
"Hey, you're not..."
