Jiang Yi walked out of the hall and saw that Xiang Sheng had not gone far, so he took two quick steps to catch up with her.
Seeing that he had indeed followed him out, Xiang Sheng tilted his head and smiled slightly: "Fellow Daoist Jiang, are you feeling annoyed too? Come out to get some fresh air?"
"I am a little irritated."
Jiang Yi sighed softly, "But what worries me is not them, but the future of Dongzhou."
At this point, Jiang Yi's eyes turned and he looked at Xiang Sheng with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Xiang has saved Dongzhou from danger many times. I believe he is also worried like me, right?"
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, how could you look at me like this?"
Xiang Sheng's face showed surprise, and then the corners of his mouth twitched as he slowly said, "That's a huge misunderstanding. Everything I did was for myself. What does the life and death of others have to do with me?"
Jiang Yi was shocked. He never expected Xiang Sheng to give such an answer.
A hundred years ago in Guijian, Xiang Shengshang could be said to have tried her best to survive in order to be reincarnated, but this time... she took the initiative to blow up the center of the earth. How could it be said that it was for herself?
But after the explosion, Xiang Sheng did survive... What is the connection between blowing up the center of the earth and surviving?
Jiang Yi was puzzled and had to put his thoughts aside for the time being. He continued, "I originally wanted to invite you to join the Hundred Flowers Valley as an elder. But after hearing what you said, I guess there's no hope."
"I'm used to being idle and can't stand being disciplined."
Xiang Sheng stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the starry sky, and sighed softly, "Besides, I'm tired too."
Jiang Yi was stunned for a moment, then he recalled Xiang Sheng's experience over the past century and couldn't help but feel a sense of agreement.
Since ancient times, evil spirits have brought many disasters.
However, Xiang Sheng had suffered too many disasters. Even normal cultivation seemed to have become a luxury. If he were an ordinary person, he would have been driven crazy by the numerous hardships. It was normal for Xiang Sheng to be just tired.
"You should take a break."
He gave up the thought of continuing to persuade her and asked with a smile, "Are you planning to find a quiet place to live alone? Or are you planning to live in seclusion in the city?"
"I haven't decided yet."
Xiang Sheng smiled faintly and said calmly, "But before I leave, I still have a few questions in my mind. I wonder if Brother Jiang can clarify them?"
Jiang Yi's spirits perked up slightly, "Fellow Daoist, please feel free to speak."
"When you were listening in just now, you mentioned that the Earth God was resentful, and that Dongzhou would inevitably suffer disaster in the future."
Xiang Sheng's eyes flashed, and he finally began to ask indirectly, "Where does this speculation come from?"
"The Earth God and the Heavenly Dao are of the same kind, and their operations are governed by their own rules."
Jiang Yi thought Xiang Sheng really didn't understand, and answered seriously: "The Earth God is the mother of the earth. Once the core of the earth is destroyed, the Earth God will instinctively feel resentment, which will then lead to the destruction of mortals.
After a mortal's unjust death, he would harbor resentment, and this cycle would repeat itself. The resentment would grow like a snowball, eventually exceeding the Earth God's tolerance and triggering a catastrophe.
At this point, Jiang Yi hesitated for a moment, then continued, "You should know best how terrible the erosion of resentment is."
Xiang Sheng hummed lightly, pretending to think for a moment before asking, "Since he knew it would come to that, couldn't the Earth God have intervened in advance and taken the initiative to eliminate the resentment?"
"How do I get rid of it?"
Jiang Yi showed helplessness, "The nature of the Earth God is similar to that of the Heavenly Dao, it is originally an unconscious existence.
Heaven and earth are not benevolent. Birth and death are meaningless to them, so how could they have the intention to actively intervene? "
Having laid the groundwork here, Xiang Sheng knew the situation was ripe. He pursed his lips and finally asked, "Since the Earth God is an unconscious being... wouldn't it be better if someone could find the Earth God, refine and control it, and eliminate the hidden dangers from the root?"
"impossible!"
Shock flashed in Jiang Yi's eyes as he looked Xiang Sheng up and down. "Humans and gods have different paths. How could you have such a bold idea?"
"It's just a sudden thought."
Xiang Sheng smiled faintly: "Ignorance is fearless. If I continue to follow the rules like the monks in your sect, I am afraid I will not live long."
Jiang Yi opened his mouth. He really wanted to say that Xiang Sheng was also from a sect, but when he thought about his situation in the Chiyan Sect, which was even worse than that of a casual cultivator, he said nothing in the end.
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Yi returned to the main topic. "The Earth God is invisible and formless. Finding it from the core of the Earth is as difficult as ascending to heaven. Even if we could find some clues, refining it would be a huge problem. We cultivators go against the will of heaven. Although we have transcended the mundane world, we are still far, far away from the gods, from the way of heaven. Not to mention now, even the great masters of ancient times could not achieve it."
Upon hearing this, Xiang Sheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked sharply, "You describe it in such detail. Could it be that someone in ancient times has tried this before?"
"Did you see that?"
Jiang Yi chuckled. "You're right. Someone did try in ancient times. It was my good friend, the leader of the Puppet Sect, Tian Qing. She spent thousands of years searching for the Earth God. She finally found a trace, but found it impossible to refine it, so she gave up."
Xiang Shengmulu pondered for a moment and continued, "Do you know why that person is looking for the Earth God?"
"I don't know."
Jiang Yi shook his head. "I only know that she was looking for the location of the Earth God before the invasion of the Underworld. As for the specific reason... I can't remember."
Jiang Yi's face was bitter: "My reincarnation is not as complete as yours. There is a part of my memory missing in the middle. Now that time has passed, I can no longer trace the reason for the loss. I can only regard it as a mess."
Xiang Sheng was silent for a moment, then spoke in a comforting voice: "Fellow Daoist Jiang, the fact that you are able to stand here alive today is already a thousand times better than those ancient cultivators who perished in the catastrophe."
Jiang Yi was stunned for a moment, then a look of relief appeared on his face: "You are right."
"This matter is over, and it's time for me to leave."
