"You mean I have to leave, otherwise I won't be able to leave later?"
Xiao Tianzhan remained unwilling.
"The Northern Emperor already has the answer in his heart; you don't need to ask me."
Zhang asked a different way of answering.
"I've been in the Northern Region for so long, it'll be hard for me to go back to the Central Region. You know what I did to the Dao Domain Emperor back then, and he might very well settle scores with me."
Xiao Tianzhan said with concern.
"The Northern Emperor is overthinking this. The Dao Domain Emperor is currently short of people around him and will not make a move against you."
Zhang Wendao smiled and said, "The Dao Domain will not be peaceful in the future. If the Dao Domain Emperor wants to unify the entire Dao Domain, he will still need people. The Dao Domain Emperor is a smart man and will not kill anyone now."
“You’re right. If I go back now, the Dao Domain Emperor won’t make a move.”
Xiao Tianzhan nodded.
"After my analysis, the Northern Emperor understands the situation."
Zhang asked with a smile.
"Let's leave now, or that madman, the Heavenly King, will come knocking on our door."
Xiao Tianzhan said.
...
The former site of the Dark Temple.
After the King of Light attained enlightenment, this place became the Temple of Light.
This wasn't the King of Light mocking the dead Dark Emperor or declaring that this was his territory.
He is a sentimental person, which is why he chose this entire place as his residence.
The Bright King also meant that the Northern Regions belonged to the Northern Regions people.
Neither the northern tribes nor the central human races are allowed to invade the northern region.
With the return of the Bright King, the Northern Region must be returned to the Northern Region human race.
"My lord, there's been a big commotion at the Heavenly God Palace. Xiao Tianzhan is leading his men to retreat from the Northern Region. Should we stop them?"
A silver-haired woman with extremely beautiful features
"It would be best if Xiao Tianzhan left on his own, so that fewer people from our Northern Region human race will die."
King Guangming shook his head.
"This is not a good deal for Xiao Tianzhan."
Silver Charm refused to accept this.
"There's no such thing as cheap or cheap. Xiao Tian is only at the early stage of the Heavenly One Realm. He has been cultivating for much longer than me. It's basically impossible for me to kill him."
"After I defeated Zhang Wendao, he should have gone to find Xiao Tianzhan. If the two of them join forces, I would most likely be no match for them."
King Guangming shook his head.
"Then let's do as the adults say."
Silver Charm Path.
With Xiao Tianzhan and Zhang Wendao withdrawing from the Northern Region, the Bright Heaven King successfully occupied the Northern Region.
The Northern Human Race was the happiest, as their status was no longer low.
Many people from the Central Region failed to evacuate with Xiao Tianzhan in time and were captured by the people from the Northern Region.
These humans from the Central Region originally thought they were doomed, but they didn't expect that the Heavenly King of Light would not kill them.
The King of Light disposed of some of the guilty, and most of the people survived.
He began to implement his ideas, making the Northern Human Race, the Central Human Race, and all other races equal.
As for the statement by the King of Light that mortals and cultivators are of equal status, it was not implemented immediately.
Things should be done slowly; rushing things will backfire.
After the three major powers coexisted on an equal footing, the Northern Region gradually prospered.
Xiao Tianzhan and Zhang Wendao returned to the Central Region and were warmly welcomed by the Dao Domain Emperor.
Zhao Chaoyang was the most unhappy, believing that the two of them had come to the Central Region to compete with him for his position.
Zhao Chaoyang was very dissatisfied, but he couldn't do anything about Xiao Tianzhan.
Xiao Tianzhan's methods and cultivation level are far beyond what he can compare to.
Zhang Wendao arrived in the Central Region and gained the attention of the Dao Domain Emperor.
The Great Emperor of the Dao Domain appointed Zhang Wendao as the National Preceptor, entrusting him with managing some affairs of the Central Domain.
These messages were all leaked by the Dao Domain Emperor's confidants; the Dao Domain Emperor did not appear in the Central Region.
...
"Boom!"
The sky was filled with rumbling thunder, and flashes of lightning appeared from time to time.
Rain poured down from the sky, crashing heavily onto the ground and splashing up sprays of water.
A young man dressed in black, carrying a basket on his back, left in the rain.
He took a few steps forward, then reluctantly looked back.
The middle-aged man was a private tutor in this small town. He didn't teach the way of governing the country through the imperial examinations; he mainly taught the methods of achieving longevity.
When he went to the imperial examination last time to study the methods of longevity, he wrote about his profound understanding of the great way of water.
Li Pu was appointed as a seventh-rank official and was allowed to enter the Daolin Academy to continue his research on the Great Dao of Water.
But he was reluctant to leave; the town was too impoverished.
Li Pu teaches the method of immortality here, and one can only obtain one hundred low-grade Dao Jade per year.
If he leaves, the town will be without teachers.
Li Pu wanted to cultivate to a higher level, but he had no choice but to leave.
He chose this time of heavy rain, when everyone was resting.
"If I leave, you may hate me, but I have no other choice."
Li Pu glanced back at the town behind him, then resolutely decided to leave.
He took a few steps forward and saw familiar figures.
These were all young boys and girls with youthful faces and bright, sparkling eyes.
"Master, are you really going to leave here?"
The leading boy asked.
"I'm leaving."
Li Pu lowered his head and said indifferently.
“Master, we don’t blame you for leaving us. You have a better future ahead of you and shouldn’t waste it in our small town.”
"That's right. The reason Master stayed behind was because he saw how pitiful we were, with no one to teach us the secret to immortality."
"Now that you have passed the imperial examination with flying colors, we have nothing but blessings for you. Let us see you off."
"After all, a teacher for a day is a father for life."
...
The group of young men and women, along with Li Pu, found a tavern and had a farewell drink.
"sorry!"
Li Pu clasped his hands in a fist salute and left, never looking back.
The group of young men and women kept staring at Li Pu's back, and did not look away even after he disappeared for a long time.
"We are a group of people who lack talent. We have changed several teachers, but we still haven't been able to understand the Tao."
"The beautiful young girl, Youlan, sighed."
"We are immortal, but we are born isolated from the Great Dao and cannot comprehend it."
"The young man at the head of the group, Chen Changsheng, sighed."
"This Teacher Li is already our thirtieth mentor. He has always been diligent and meticulous in teaching us, but we have never been able to understand the Great Dao."
Youlan's younger brother sighed.
They are human, yet they are different from ordinary people.
This group of fifteen young men and women were all immortals.
They show no signs of age; they are as old as heaven and earth.
But God gave them some things, and took some things away from them.
That means these fifteen people are incapable of cultivating Taoism; they've sought out too many teachers, but none of them have helped.
Li Pu was a Taoist practitioner who came here by chance.
Li Pu had failed the imperial examination and wanted to find a quiet place.
Under their influence, I stayed in this small town.
Li Pu put a lot of effort into teaching the Dao, but he still couldn't get these fifteen people to learn it.
If these fifteen people lived in the secular world, they would not need to practice Taoist arts.
