Regarding the great merit of repairing the sky, although the various factions did not say it explicitly, they all believed that the organization behind the scenes stole the fragments of the sky-repairing stone for this great merit.

Otherwise, just to save the world? What kind of natural saint would do such a thing!

There are many ways to use merit, and this great merit has the precedent of Nuwa, so it should be enough to be sent directly to the fairyland by the Heavenly Gift of this world.

What needs to be explained here is that ascending to the fairyland and being sent to the fairyland with gifts are two completely different things.

As for the former, even if you are a Chaos Daluo Jinxian, you still have to rely on the power of ascension to fly over slowly.

The latter can be roughly understood as the world you saved specially mobilizing its forces to open up a space channel just for you, allowing you to skip the long cosmic journey and possible attacks from demons, and reach the fairyland after waking up from a good sleep.

Of course, although the Three Pure Ones of the orthodox religion were jealous, they did not think of intercepting the enemy halfway... The main reason was that the Heavenly Dao's ability to distinguish in this regard was too strong, just like the laws of physics, there was no possibility of deception or tampering.

Even if the fragments of the Heaven-Repairing Stone were not stolen, the Three Pure Ones of the Orthodox Church could only obtain half of the Heaven-Repairing Stone if they joined together, which is still far from enough to truly repair the sky!

If there is really no other way, who would think of building a cover to cover their own house? Using this method of treating the symptoms but not the root cause itself means that the root cause cannot be achieved.

Now that someone has gathered all the fragments of the Heaven-Repairing Stone and taken that great merit into their own hands, it seems that there is nothing else the Three Great Sages of the Orthodox Religion can do except watch.

Although the sect has begun to decline, the female fairies may not be willing to accept this.

Xu Yinglian has already carried the Taiyi Fenguang Sword and secretly left the Kunlun Mountains, planning to ambush near the Tianlou, waiting for the organization that repaired the sky to appear so that he can follow the clues to find Qiu Changtian.

An Zhisu also persuaded the Changmei Immortal and the head sect leader Su Jian to take a detour through the South China Sea and then turn east.

The two's trip was top secret. After all, as the best cultivators in the righteous path, if the Demon Cult knew about it, they would definitely be ambushed and killed at all costs.

Among the Three Pure Ones of the orthodox religion, only Shi Liuli has remained silent.

She was not in a hurry to find Luo Yan's whereabouts, but kept looking for the Immortal Wanxiang to try to get information about the stolen items.

The Wanxiang Immortal was so annoyed by her that he could only tell her everything in detail, and also told her the Changmei Immortal's guess.

It turns out that the bastard wanted to repair the sky... Shi Liuli seemed to understand something.

Even if it was for the sake of great merit, at least it was for the sake of saving the world. In this way, his motive for betraying Penglai did not seem so ugly... Bah! How could it not be ugly? Can abandoning one's wife be easily justified?

However, with Shi Liuli's thinking ability that was far superior to others, he quickly thought of another possibility:

Wait! There's no organization behind that bastard!

Kunlun Qiu Changtian, Shushan Lingyunpo, Penglai Luoyan, and even Fanshengdao Wei Dongliu, seem to be pawns of some huge mastermind, but in fact they are the same person!

Since it is the same person, the speculation that there is an organization behind it is self-defeating.

If there really was a huge organization, how could they send one person to infiltrate four sects? The behavior and speaking styles of four different characters had to be disguised perfectly, which was much more difficult than sending out four spies.

In other words, the only one who really wanted to steal the Sky-Buying Stone was that bastard.

However, the reason why everyone believes that "there is an organization behind this" is due to insufficient intelligence.

But if they all wait near the leak in the sky, and wait for that bastard to repair the sky and be caught on the spot, their identities will probably be exposed... Even if they are not exposed, that bastard has great merits to protect him, so he doesn't need to disguise himself. He might even admit it proudly!

It’s the same old saying: Husband cannot be divided any more, everyone just relies on their own abilities.

Unfortunately, although they have the advantage in intelligence, both Shi Liuli herself and the Penglai Yuqing Temple behind her are the weakest among the forces.

If a saint with great merits and virtues did not choose to ascend to heaven on the spot, Penglai would most likely fight for it and let him stay in the sect. As for stealing the Heaven-Repairing Stone, it is not important. Can you still hold him accountable? Do you know that this is a different time? If you don't want it here, Kunlun Shushan will rush to get it!

Until now, Kunlun's statement to Chang Geng is "to establish one's own sect", and Shushan's statement to Qing Heng is "to go out for training", which shows that they are not willing to completely sever the only remaining connection.

We must turn this intelligence advantage into a lead in progress as soon as possible. Otherwise, when the day of the final showdown comes, without any first-mover advantage, Penglai and I will definitely be the first to be eliminated!

Shi Liuli is not a fussy person, otherwise, after the death of Elder Shi Ding, she would not have insisted on becoming a Taoist couple with Luo Yan, and then exchanged it for the sympathy and protection of the Immortal Wanxiang, and then started from scratch to study swordmaking... Her action, will and skills are actually very vigorous and decisive.

She quickly made a decision and said to the Wanxiang Immortal:

"My lord, I have something to tell you. Although I don't have any clear evidence, the result of the arithmetic operation shows that..."

The Wanxiang Immortal was silent for a while, then said:

"Your statement is just like something from a strange story. Are you kidding me?"

"I also hope it's a joke." Shi Liuli showed a somewhat sad smile, "But every word I said was not exaggerated at all."

Wanxiang Immortal was silent again, and after a moment he said:

“Could it be that I made a mistake?”

"No." Shi Liuli said firmly.

"No matter what, Chang Geng, Qing Heng, Jing Yun... are all the same person. This is really too unbelievable..." Wan Xiang Immortal paused for a moment and said, "And the calculation is not 100% correct."

"That's right." Shi Liuli said quickly, "But the accuracy depends on the fortune teller's own divination attainments. The immortal wants to confirm the junior's confidence, right?"

"Hmm." Wanxiang Immortal pondered for a moment and said, "Then tell me, what kind of elixir did I take this morning?"

Shi Liuli quickly drew a divination, took a look, and said:

"It's plain and simple, spicy and full of flavors. It doesn't look like a proper elixir. Could it be the Hundred Herb Pill?"

The so-called Baicaodan is made by kneading licorice and many spicy herbs. It has no medicinal effect on Taoism, but it has a rich taste. It is a snack sold to children in mortal drug stores.

The Wanxiang Immortal's face suddenly turned red, and he waved his hand and said:

"You can calculate this? You are amazing, cough cough!"

He had no pills to refine this morning, and suddenly he felt a pang of energy, so he made some Hundred Herb Pills to try. No one knew about this, it could only have been calculated.

To be honest, the Wanxiang Immortal originally admired Shi Liuli's ability in fortune-telling. He believed that she not only had profound attainments in this area, but also had enough wisdom and experience to combine the many scattered clues in reality to improve the accuracy of her interpretation of the hexagrams... But this time, the fortune-telling really surprised him.

The old man made a batch of Baicaodan as a snack this morning. This thing could never be the result of reasoning and analysis. Only arithmetic could produce a result "out of nothing" without any evidence or clues.

If that's the case, then what she said about Chang Geng, Qing Heng, and Jing Yun being the same person is also true?

This time, Wanxiang Immortal was really speechless. It was not because the news was too shocking, but because when he thought about it for a while, he felt his mind was a tangled mess and he didn't know where to start when he wanted to sort it out.

How could these three people be the same person?

How could the same person appear in three sects at the same time? How could it be possible in terms of timing?

Kunlun Changgeng has a clear mind of Taoism, Shushan Qingheng is born with sword bones, Penglai Jingyun can understand a thousand things after hearing a single word. How is it possible that these three talents for practicing Taoism are concentrated in the same person?

The three of them have different personalities, temperaments, expressions, speech, and behavior habits, otherwise people would have noticed it long ago. If it really is one person playing three roles...how did he do it?

Chang Geng is good at thunder magic and Qing Heng swordsmanship is superb, while Jing Yun has profound attainments in the art of refining equipment. These things require hard work to immerse oneself in the art. Where does he find so much time for them?

So this person has thirty-six hours in a day?

Wanxiang Immortal was puzzled, but Shi Liuli quickly reminded him:

"Immortal, if this is true, then there will be a fight between us and Kunlun and Shushan!"

These words were like a bolt from the blue, suddenly waking the Immortal Wanxiang from his chaotic thoughts.

yes!

What he originally thought was that no matter how that organization repaired the sky, Jingyun would definitely have a share in the final great merit.

Although it is not enough to ascend to heaven on the spot, it is enough to become a saint... When the time comes, Jingyun will be welcomed back politely and become a mascot in the sect. Penglai can also use his protective morality to increase its own luck, and at least ensure its prosperity for thousands of years.

I think Kunlun and Shushan think the same way. The three parties should take care of their own business and not interfere with each other.

But if what Shi Liuli said was true, and there was only one person on the opposite side from the beginning to the end, then as long as the other party did not ascend to heaven on the spot, but chose to stay in this world, it would be almost inevitable that Kunlun, Shushan and Penglai would fight with each other!

Thinking of having to fight against Kunlun and Shushan at the same time, Wanxiang Immortal subconsciously became a little timid and said:

"With such great merit, I guess she was sent directly to the immortal world like Nuwa?"

"If this is the case, will the immortal be willing to accept it?" Shi Liuli asked in a deep voice.

"Well, is it useful whether I'm willing or not?" Wanxiang Immortal said subconsciously, but he quickly reacted.

Regardless of the other party's identity, it is true that the Elder Dongyou in front of him was once his Taoist partner.

Penglai might be willing to withdraw from the competition, but this guy would never let go of his Taoist partner.

So he patiently advised:

"Dongyou... Never mind, I'll just call you Liuli."

"Liuli, you are my child. I have watched you grow up. When you were born, your father brought you to Penglai to be raised. I even held you in my arms!"

"If it were anything else, as long as you asked for help, it would be easy. But in this case, it's not that the sect is unwilling to help you, but it is really powerless. Jingyun... let's just call him Jingyun, he really has far-reaching plans, from beginning to end, he deceived all of us."

"Before he tried to get the Heaven-Repairing Stone, did he reveal any flaws? No."

"Where is he hiding now? I don't know. Is there any way for the sect to find him? There isn't, right?"

"As far as I'm concerned, he must have already figured out how to repair the sky and how to ascend to heaven, and he won't give us any chance to interfere. This is not only because he is meticulous, but also because he has calculated things without any intention. Now that the overall situation has been decided, we are already powerless."

"Immortal." Shi Liuli said seriously, "Searching for the Heaven-Repairing Stone and gaining merit from repairing the sky are indeed things that cannot be interfered with."

"But after repairing the sky, he may not ascend directly. If we can play the emotional card well, we may be able to keep him here!"

"You kid..." The Wanxiang Immortal wanted to ask you why you are so naive. People have gone to great lengths to steal so many fragments of the Sky-Repairing Stone and get the great merit of repairing the sky, isn't it just to ascend to heaven on the spot like Nuwa?

However, when I thought about it carefully, I felt that something seemed wrong.

Because there is no necessary connection between "stealing the Sky-Repairing Stone" and "becoming a Taoist partner with Liuli".

Shi Liuli is the daughter of Elder Shi Ding, not his Wanxiang Immortal. Becoming a Taoist partner with her will not help much in stealing the Bu Tian Stone, so to assert that "that person must have other intentions by marrying Shi Liuli" is not enough to make such a judgment.

Could it not be because of feelings? After all, the two are not contradictory!

Seeing that the Wanxiang Immortal's expression was shaken, Shi Liuli immediately struck while the iron was hot and asked again:

"My lord, when you ascended to heaven, you could have used the power of ascension to go to the immortal world. Why did you stay in the human world?"

"Of course it's because Penglai was in such a precarious situation at that time..." When asked by Shi Liuli, the Immortal Wanxiang temporarily put aside his thoughts and explained to her in detail.

At that time, all the great leaders of the Chan sect had left this world, and there was a lack of an authoritative leader who could convince all factions, so it had reached a stage where division was inevitable.

Many relatively unconventional sects were neither accepted by the Shushan sword-cultivating sect nor in the eyes of the self-proclaimed orthodox Kunlun sect, so they could only make their own homes in the East China Sea.

After the development was on the right track, the Penglai lineage in the East China Sea began to think about integrating the many other branches of the descendants of the Chan sect in the East China Sea to compete with Kunlun and Shushan.

However, due to the system shock caused by the previous split of the Chan sect, the training of the younger generation was seriously interrupted for a time, resulting in most of the Yuanying elders in the Penglai Yuqing Temple at that time being newly promoted, and there was not a single one who had reached the Great Perfection of the Yuting Stage, not to mention any immortals.

Wanxiang stayed at that time. He and his brothers and sisters entered the sect at the end of the Chan Sect and witnessed the last glory of this huge sect. Therefore, they always wanted to revive Penglai.

Later, his brothers and sisters ascended to heaven one after another, until he was the only one left in the world. If he also ascended, there would really be no immortals in Penglai Yuqing Temple, and unifying the East China Sea would be a distant dream, and he would never be able to do it again.

With his affection for the Penglai Yuqing Temple and his nostalgia for the supreme glory of the Chan Sect in the past, Wanxiang Immortal finally made this difficult decision:

After ascending to heaven, he did not fly up but stayed.

Without the decision of Wanxiang Immortal, Penglai Yuqing Temple would never be able to unify the East China Sea and join the ranks of the Three Pure Ones. But for him personally, it caused him to lose the blessing of the power of ascension, and the possibility of going to the fairyland on his own was almost zero.

At this point, Wanxiang Immortal also sighed. Although there was a lot of regret in his tone, there was no regret at all.

"So that's how it is." Shi Liuli said admiringly, and suddenly said, "Since the immortal can stay for Penglai, why don't I believe that my husband will stay for me?"

The Immortal of All Things was speechless for a long time.
