Chapter 603: Double Combination, Control of Time
The angry roar of Taoist Zaohua made Jiuyaotian seem even quieter.
But on the other hand, modern times have undergone dramatic changes because of Zheng Fa.
When Zheng Fa entered the modern era through the passage under the futon, the first thing he felt was division—two completely opposite scenes appeared before his eyes.
On one side is the vast sky and white clouds emerging from the mountains.
On one side are the pavilions and waterside terraces of the nursing home.
Zheng Fa raised his eyes and looked towards Hongshan, knowing that this was the first time he had "truly" entered the modern era.
There is another me in this world!
There were waves of stirring in his sea of consciousness, as if something was stirring inside.
Zheng Fa released his sea of consciousness.
A yin-yang fish jade pendant flew out and floated in front of Zheng Fa's eyes.
In the distance, a figure seemed to be drawn by a jade pendant. He was dressed in modern clothes, but his face was exactly the same as Zheng Fa's.
Behind this figure are several familiar faces.
Tang Lingwu, Old Man Bai and others followed "Zheng Fa" and flew over, but unexpectedly saw another "Zheng Fa". They were all stunned, stopped in the air, and looked left and right.
Modern Zheng Fa suddenly opened his eyes.
The two Zheng Fas looked at each other across the Yin-Yang fish jade pendant.
The yin and yang fish on the jade pendant seemed to come alive, chasing each other, and finally merged into one, you in me and me in you.
At the moment when the two fish merged, the body of modern Zheng Fa suddenly became empty. When the wind blew, it turned into blue debris and fell on Zheng Fa.
Even bystanders like Tang Lingwu understood at this moment - the two Zheng Fas had become one.
The Yin-Yang Fish Jade Pendant flew back into Zheng Fa's palm, and it seemed to have changed a little. Before Zheng Fa could figure it out, a cautious voice sounded in his ear: "Zheng Fa?"
When Zheng Fa turned around, he saw Old Man Bai and Tang Lingwu and others looking at him, their eyes full of anxiety.
Zheng Fa certainly understood what they were worried about.
"It's me." He paused and repeated, "It's still me."
After hearing this, the old man seemed to let go of the burden in his heart and let out a long sigh.
Tang Lingwu couldn't help herself and hurriedly asked, "Where's that grandpa? What happened? Did he give you any trouble?"
"Are you worried that he'll embarrass me?"
"I see you're both respectful and afraid..."
Thinking of Tang Lingwu's previous behavior in front of Taoist Hongjun, Zheng Fa asked again: "You know I'm afraid, why don't you stay away?"
Tang Lingwu's eyes widened, as if she had heard something incomprehensible: "Leaving you alone? How is that possible?"
These words were so sincere that Zheng Fa opened his mouth, and a warm feeling of helplessness surged in his heart.
"Wait, I don't understand." The old man was scratching his head anxiously. "What happened? What grandpa?"
When Taoist Hongjun came before, Old Man Bai was not there.
Zheng Fa didn't want to bring the troubles of the Xuanwei Realm to the modern era before - on the one hand, it was of no use, and on the other hand, he didn't want to make Tang Lingwu and others worry.
But now things have changed again.
Zheng Fa thought for a moment and said, "Let's go back to the nursing home first. I have something to tell you."
Seeing his serious expression, Old Man Bai and his companions realized that something was wrong. Without asking any more questions, they followed Zheng Fa back to the nursing home.
…
"Daozu Hongjun?" The old man's voice rang out, "Did I miss Daozu Hongjun?"
"What do you mean there's a Golden Immortal blocking the door?"
"Hongmeng Purple Qi?"
Zheng Fa's words contained so much information that the expressions of Old Man Bai and the others were as if their brain grooves had been flattened and they were dazed.
After a long time, the old man finally concluded:
"You're saying there's a passage between our world and yours? Did you enter this world to avoid that Taoist of Creation?"
Zheng Fa nodded slightly.
He was very self-aware and knew that he could never defeat the Taoist Master of Creation. Later, when he obtained the Hongmeng Purple Qi and discovered the passage between the two worlds, he came up with this plan.
"Then Taoist Creation won't come in, right?"
The old man said nervously.
"He couldn't find the passage because of the Hongmeng purple energy." Zheng Fa explained, then frowned again, "But I can't get out either."
This is the biggest trouble now.
His real body entered the modern world. Although he escaped the danger of life and death, he was also trapped in the modern world.
Of course he's fine.
But the Jiushan Sect lacks a top combat force.
On the other hand, the most regrettable thing about Zheng Fa is that in the modern world, it probably can no longer be hidden.
After all, the channel does exist, and as long as there are loopholes, problems will eventually arise.
But the old man was pinching his chin, as if he was thinking about something.
"Teacher Bai?"
"I was thinking, in that case, can't we go there too?"
After hearing this, Tang Lingwu and the others' eyes lit up and they looked at Zheng Fa with anticipation.
There was no worry in his eyes about exposing himself.
Zheng Fa was stunned: "You...are not afraid..."
"What are you afraid of?" The old man interrupted, as if he knew what he was going to ask. "We didn't know what you were doing outside before, but now we know."
"The situation in the Xuanwei Realm is so dangerous."
The old man stared at Zheng Fa with a serious expression: "You can say that we are dancing on the edge of a knife every day, but we..."
Zheng Fa stopped talking.
In his heart, he has always wanted to keep these modern people away from the chaos of the Xuanwei Realm, but Old Man Bai didn't seem to think so.
"Although our strength is low," the old man said with a serious expression, "but like Xiao Lingwu said, we can't leave you alone, especially if it really comes to the last moment. When the nest is overturned, no one will be left alive."
“…”
Zheng Fa's gaze passed across the old man Bai's face, and then looked at Tang Lingwu. Tang Lingwu was nodding at him, with a stubbornness on her face that he had never seen before.
He knew that perhaps other people in the modern world were just saying this to show their loyalty to him, but the two people in front of him really meant it.
He was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "We still have to be cautious. For one thing, with the Taoist of Creation here, this passage isn't safe."
"On the other hand, if we reveal our activities in the Mysterious Realm, we might expose information about the modern world."
The old man nodded immediately and said, "Of course I understand."
The old man knew that Zheng Fa was not trying to stop them, but was protecting the modern world - under the protection of the Hongmeng purple energy, the modern world was still relatively safe.
On the contrary, Zheng Fa actually meant that he agreed, but he just had to wait for the right opportunity. He then asked Zheng Fa, "So what are you going to do? Hide here and not leave?"
"I'm going to condense an avatar." Hiding in the modern world was a temporary solution. Zheng Fa had already thought of his own plan. "Let him deal with the Taoist of Creation."
The old man suddenly realized and said, "To die?"
"Yes, let's see if we can make Taoist Zaohua relax his vigilance and give me a chance to escape."
After Zheng Fa attained enlightenment as a wandering immortal, he was able to condense his energy into the final incarnation of the Three Pure Ones.
He had not taken any action before, mainly because Jiuyaotian was not safe. One more clone would only mean one more immortal fighting force, and would not have a decisive impact on the situation.
On the contrary, if he rashly reveals his method of transforming one qi into three pure ones, he might expose the Nine Mountains Realm's trump card.
But it is different in modern times. He condenses an avatar and goes out to attract the Taoist of Creation. If the other party kills the avatar, he may leave Jiuyaotian, which gives him a chance to escape.
"That's a possible approach. If the Taoist of Creation kills your clone, he might relax his vigilance."
"It's just a gamble." Zheng Fa shook his head and said, "On the other hand, I also want to try and place the Hongmeng Purple Qi in this world first."
This is his primary purpose in entering the modern world.
The Hongmeng Purple Qi is too sensitive, and the Nine Mountains Realm is too big a target. If it is placed in the Nine Mountains Realm, it will easily be targeted.
If he could be placed in the modern world first, it would be much safer, and he would have fewer concerns and would not be afraid to die.
"So, we really need to be more cautious when we go to Xuanwei in the future."
Everyone knows how precious the Hongmeng Purple Qi is. Zheng Fa placed it in the modern world, which is naturally a sign of trust in them. People in the modern world will naturally act more cautiously.
The old man changed the subject, his face full of curiosity: "What does Hongmeng Purple Qi look like?"
Zheng Fa naturally did not hide his thoughts from him, and smiled as he took out his Jade Book of Creation. When the Hongmeng Purple Qi saw the Jade Book of Creation, it felt like it had met an old acquaintance, and became sticky.
The old man leaned forward, ready to take a closer look, when he suddenly stepped back and shouted, "Oh no! It's trying to run away!"
Zheng Fa was also shocked. He watched helplessly as the Hongmeng purple energy turned into a meteor, flew out of his hand, rushed out of the nursing home, and flew into the sky against the sky.
"Chase after them!"
The old man shouted, and Zheng Fa flew out, across the sky, chasing the Hongmeng purple energy.
But the speed of Hongmeng purple energy was extremely fast. It disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"What's going on?"
A few minutes later, Old Man Bai and the others hurriedly rushed to Zheng Fa's side, asking, "Where's the Hongmeng Purple Qi? Why didn't you chase it?"
He looked extremely anxious. It was obvious that although they didn't know what the Hongmeng Purple Qi was used for, they would be heartbroken if they lost such a treasure.
On the other hand, without the Hongmeng Purple Qi, who knows whether the Taoist of Creation can find a passage to the modern world.
"No need to chase."
"What do you mean no need to chase?"
"There it is."
Zheng Fa raised his hand and pointed. Everyone looked up at the sky and saw Zheng Fa pointing at the red sun in the sky.
The red sun is surrounded by a rich and lively purple haze.
"The sun... no, the Fusang tree!"
"This is its real old friend." Zheng Fa looked at the hibiscus tree in the sun with a strange expression.
The primordial purple energy fell on the Fusang tree, as if covering it with a layer of gauze, making it look more noble and ethereal.
Zheng Fa thought about it, and the Jade Book of Creation in his hand flashed and fell into the Fusang tree.
“You are…”
"Only with the help of the Hongmeng Purple Qi can the Jade Book of Creation communicate with the heavens and myriad realms." Zheng Fa explained, "Fortunately, my Jade Book of Creation is not a treasure for fighting magic."
He had originally planned to place the Hongmeng Purple Qi in the modern world, so the Jade Book of Creation naturally had to be left behind as well.
On the one hand, it is to improve the function of the Jade Book of Creation.
On the other hand, it is actually with the help of the Jade Book of Creation to protect the Hongmeng Purple Qi and prevent accidents.
This magic weapon of his was not originally intended for fighting. Putting it here and serving as the main server of the heavens would not affect his strength too much.
"But how can this Fusang wood attract the Hongmeng purple energy? Will there be some hidden dangers when the two are together?"
The old man in white asked.
His worries were not groundless - the Fusang tree had always had a will of its own. Even now that he had achieved immortality and all laws had become one, Zheng Fa was still not completely relieved.
After hearing what the old man said, Zheng Fa closed his eyes and took it in carefully. His expression suddenly changed, as if he was surprised and happy.
"What's wrong?"
The old man asked hurriedly.
“There are changes!”
"What changes?"
Zheng Fa pointed his finger at the Fusang tree in the distance, as if casting a spell. The old man held his breath and looked left and right, but there was no movement around him.
He turned his head and looked at Zheng Fa blankly: "Why didn't I find anything?"
“Because we live in this world.”
"What's the meaning?"
"Just now, I adjusted the time of the modern world to twice that of the Xuanwei Realm."
After hearing this, the old man slowly opened his eyes and asked, "Time?"
Zheng Fa nodded, his eyes full of excitement.
"With the combination of Hongmeng Purple Qi and Fusang Wood, I have gained a certain ability to control time."
"What is time?"
Tang Mudao suddenly asked.
This can be said to be a controversial issue in modern physics.
Everyone looked at Zheng Fa.
"In the universe, time is the speed of spiritual energy, or rather, the laws of the universe." Zheng Fa thought for a moment and explained, "For multiple universes, the time of one universe is isolated and meaningless. Only when the speed of time varies between universes does it have real meaning."
Tang Mudao frowned but didn't say anything, as if he was thinking.
"Spiritual energy, to put it simply, comes from the laws of chaos and the universe," Zheng Fa said as he sorted out his thoughts. "Therefore, the speed of spiritual energy's movement determines the time ratio between the two universes."
"Before, the modern world had no spiritual energy at all. Therefore, time and the mysterious world are not related and there is no value in comparison."
"So... after you came, the modern world and Xuanwei finally had a point of comparison? They became synchronized?"
Zheng Fa shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be me, but the Yin-Yang Fish Jade Pendant. I didn't have any spiritual energy in me at first."
To put it simply, when he woke up in modern times, the movement of spiritual energy on the Yin-Yang fish jade pendant caused the relatively subtle passage of time in modern times.
If he fell asleep in modern times, the modern world would be relatively mysterious and would naturally stagnate.
"Later, as I became more successful in my cultivation and gained more spiritual energy, I was able to change time to a greater extent."
"So what are you doing now..."
"After the two of me merge into one, the channel will open, and the time in the modern world should be synchronized with Xuanwei." Zheng Fa explained, "But the spiritual energy in the modern world almost all comes from the Fusang tree. With the help of Hongmeng Purple Qi, I can now control the flow of time in the modern world relative to other universes."
After hearing this, Old Man Bai and the others looked at each other, their eyes lighting up: "So what you're saying is, if others can cultivate for one day, we can cultivate for two days? Who isn't a genius?"
Seeing how ecstatic several people were, Zheng Fa also laughed.
To put it bluntly, the modern world today is equivalent to the medicinal garden of the Nine Mountains Realm.
But the medicine garden cannot speed up the cultivation of cultivators, and secondly, there is no world as big as it!
The old man was quite ambitious and asked, "How fast can it go?"
