Shen Yuan's plain words sounded like thunder over the Jishui River.
On the rivers, whether it was the Jidu water creatures or the monks in the blessed land, all of them focused their eyes on the Giant Clam Water God.
During the time when Shen Yuan cut off the power of the Dragon King and returned the divine way to heaven and earth, the Giant Clam Water God was constantly suffering from the backlash of heaven and earth and the suppression of thunder tribulations, and was already seriously injured.
But as a demon king who has refined his spirit, as long as he still has a breath left, he can still easily destroy the entire Qingping County City with his own strength.
This is the power of the Demon King of Spirit Refining, a powerful force that is not tolerated by the broken rules of this world.
But even such a powerful water god was asked to commit suicide by Shen Yuan with just plain words.
No one present, whether it was the aquatic creatures or the human cultivators, felt anything out of place, as if Shen Yuan's request was completely natural.
In front of the white-robed immortal who suppressed the Jidu Dragon Palace alone, a mere demon king was not even qualified to make Shen Yuan take action.
When the giant clam water god kneeling in the river heard Shen Yuan's words, he did not feel much anger, unwillingness or resentment in his heart. Instead, he felt a sense of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted.
Originally, the Giant Clam Water God was just a tool sent by Ao Lang to descend into the world to intimidate the human race when his life was coming to an end. Being involved in major events such as the Dragon King, the Dragon Palace Gods, and the Emperor of Heaven was already beyond the limits of his control.
The Giant Clam Water God is not afraid of death. Coming to the world means he is doomed to die, but he is afraid that his actions will implicate his tribe members.
Ao Lang has already lost his position as Dragon King and cannot protect himself. His promise to the Giant Clam Water God must have been invalidated. The Giant Clam Water God no longer hopes that anyone among the younger generations can inherit his throne.
He just wanted to sever the cause and effect of this incident and not let his clan members be implicated.
The god in front of him had great power, and killing him was just a piece of cake, but the god let him kill himself instead of taking action himself. In a way, it was like he was taking the initiative to sever the cause and effect for him.
Such a situation naturally made the Giant Clam Water God feel relieved.
The Giant Clam Water God humbly bowed to Shen Yuan and said respectfully:
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Yang God's Dharma image, which already had several cracks on it, shattered in an instant.
The massive power of the Yang God carried a scorching glow, just like a big sun falling into the Ji River, benefiting all living things, and its soul dissipated and returned between heaven and earth.
On the surface of the river, the old body turned into a broken river clam covered with marks of lightning burns. The body of the demon king and the incense thoughts in his body slowly disintegrated, and then sank to the bottom of the river.
After doing all this, Shen Yuan ignored the eyes full of admiration and fear from the water tribe and the human race, turned around and walked back into the Xuanhuang Tower.
Gong Buyu and Xue Mingzhi, who had been waiting by the window, came to greet Shen Yuan.
A layer of ice-blue barrier rose up, blocking out all prying eyes from the outside world.
Although the scene where Shen Yuan caused the Demon King to commit suicide with just one word was shocking, it was nothing compared to the previous scene where the Jidu Dragon Palace was suppressed by the Heavenly Court's decree.
Compared to a dead demon king, many cultivators from the blessed lands were more concerned about the room where Shen Yuan lived.
Almost all the cultivators in the blessed land could see the direction Shen Yuan left, and even if there was a barrier blocking his departure, they could quickly determine which room on the upper floor he was leaving in.
Inside the Xuanhuang Tower, many monks from the blessed lands suddenly had different thoughts.
Everyone can see how powerful this god is who can walk on earth at the beginning of the spiritual energy tide.
His disciple Gong Buyu is also a top-notch warrior in the world who dominates his peers. It can be predicted that Gong Buyu is likely to reach the top in the future.
The new generation of geniuses are extremely talented, and the older generation are even more powerful. It is hard for the Luoyun Sect not to prosper.
Under such circumstances, naturally there are people who want to take advantage of the Luoyun Sect's rise to curry favor with this living god.
In the hall on the lower floor of Xuanhuang Tower, monks from many sects were discussing the matter.
There are monks from sects who are ready to pay a visit to express their gratitude for saving their lives; there are also sects with a long tradition and complicated relationships who want to establish relationships in the name of sect inheritance; there are even worse ones who want to present precious secret treasures to the God and pray to be accepted as a disciple of the Luoyun Sect.
Among them, there are many large sects that rely on blessed lands.
Even in several caves, many cultivators showed strange expressions.
Only Mo Li sat at the edge of the hall, looking calmly at the many sects who were arguing with red faces.
He was the one who knew Shen Yuan's background best among all the cultivators in the sect, and he was also the one who needed to be least worried among all the cultivators present.
Because Laojun Mountain, or Rongcheng Dayutian, had already established a relationship with that Supreme Taoist.
The genius under the tutelage of the Supreme Taoist is none other than the legitimate daughter of Patriarch Gong, the most senior of all the ancestors of Rongcheng Dayutian.
With this relationship, Rong Cheng Dayutian had already taken the lead.
Thinking of this, even Mo Li couldn't help but feel a little proud.
In fact, when Patriarch Gong decided to let Gong Buyu become a disciple of the Supreme Taoist, Mo Li still felt a little confused.
In Mo Li's opinion, although the Supreme Taoist is powerful, the sect he belongs to has mysteriously disappeared for nearly ten thousand years. It may not be a good thing to hastily arrange for Gong Buyu to become a disciple of the Supreme Taoist.
Moreover, Gong Buyu's talent is not inferior to those of the ten sacred caves and heavens. If he is allowed to be patiently cultivated by the ancestors in Rongcheng Dayutian, he will surely be able to reach the pinnacle in this era of spiritual energy tide.
Isn't it better to cultivate a genius for Rongcheng Dayutian than to give away your own genius?
In Mo Li's opinion, Patriarch Gong's decision was more due to his obsession with the main sect rather than the interests of the sect.
But looking back now, Mo Li realized that his thoughts and thinking were too narrow, and he did not understand the true meaning of Patriarch Gong's decision at all.
Even if Rong Cheng Dayutian cultivated a peak strong man, during the hundreds of years of spiritual energy tide, he could only be promoted to the realm of Lianxu Zhenjun at most.
Going further up is restricted by the changes in heaven and earth and the timing of the spiritual energy tide. If you want to go further, you must wait until the next spiritual energy tide after the three thousand years of spiritual energy depletion period.
The strong people cultivated in this way are indeed extraordinary, but the time required is too long, and there are still a few True Lords left in Rongcheng Dayutian, which has no decisive influence on Rongcheng Dayutian.
But if Gong Buyu were allowed to become a disciple of the Supreme Taoist, Rong Cheng Dayutian and the Supreme Taoist would have a close relationship.
As long as the relationship is maintained, Rong Cheng Dayutian will surely be able to seize the initiative after the spiritual energy tide is fully revived and the Supreme Taoist returns to the peak.
Thinking of this, Mo Li couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Mo Li's calm appearance caught the eyes of the Qi training geniuses from the other cave heavens, and they all showed envy.
They could roughly guess some of the reasons. As long as Mo Li called him "Little Grandmaster", Rong Cheng Dayutian could rest easy.
Just as the various sects were still arguing and discussing, a voice suddenly rang out.
"Does anyone know where the two emissaries from the Imperial Observatory went?"
Many sect monks were stunned at first, then their expressions suddenly changed and said:
"Not good, they must want to go and pay respect to the Lord God first!"
A group of sect monks used their escape techniques to rush to the upper floors of Xuanhuang Tower. Several cave heavenly geniuses also abandoned their previous reserve and flew away. In an instant, only Mo Li was left in the originally bustling hall.
Seeing this scene, Mo Li couldn't help but touch his nose. After hesitating for a moment, he prepared to follow the other sects upstairs.
Now that the Supreme Taoist has appeared, I must go and pay my respects to him and the Junior Master.
However, Mo Li did not choose to fly up to the floor, but chose to take the stairs on the side.
As soon as he stepped onto the stairs, Mo Li saw several figures coming down the stairs.
"Instead of going to that Godly Lord to meet his chance, you chose to leave?"
Mo Li was a little curious and was about to take a closer look to see which sect the cultivators were from, but when his eyes fell on them, his mind immediately went blank.
It was as if an invisible hand had erased all information about the people who went downstairs, and he was unable to remember any relevant information at all.
After standing there for several seconds, watching several figures leave his sight, Mo Li looked up at the upper floor of Xuanhuang Building as if waking up from a dream, and said to himself with some doubt:
"Shouldn't I go meet Daozi and Junior Master? Why am I still stopping here?"
After he finished speaking, Mo Li walked towards the upper floor.
In front of a room on the fifteenth floor of Xuanhuang Building, the White Tiger Envoy looked at the Black Tortoise Envoy and whispered:
"Is this the place?"
The Xuanwu Envoy hesitated and said, "It should be."
"What do you mean by should be? This Xuanhuang Tower is under your control, don't you know that?"
Xuanwu glared and said unhappily:
"You idiot, it's true that I control Xuanhuang Tower, but do I dare to explore this person's residence?
How about I give you the control of Xuanhuang Tower and you come to check it out."
The White Tiger immediately shook his head and said, "No, no! I'll leave it to you!"
What happened in this Taoist conference happened too quickly. In addition, the Imperial Observatory was in a blessed land, so the White Tiger Envoy and the Black Tortoise Envoy did not contact the Observatory.
However, since the Supreme Taoist has appeared at the Taoist Conference and taken action, as the host of the Taoist Conference, the Imperial Astronomical Observatory should, out of both moral and logical necessity, pay a visit to the Taoist.
So the two of them waited in front of the door early, but they did not dare to open the door rashly. They could only wait outside the door for the Supreme Taoist to show up.
With the magical powers of the Supreme Taoist, if he wanted to see them he would definitely ask for it. If he didn't want to see them, it would be useless even if he took the initiative to visit them. So the two of them could only express their respect in this stupid way.
Monks from various sects came to the upper floor one after another and met the two envoys from the Imperial Observatory who were waiting respectfully outside the door.
With doubts in their hearts, the monks from various sects followed the head of the Imperial Observatory and bowed respectfully towards the room, ready to wait.
There was silence in the Xuanhuang Tower. Hundreds of cultivators gathered on the upper floor of the Xuanhuang Tower. The corridors on the surrounding floors were crowded, and they all bowed respectfully in the direction of that room.
Time passed slowly, and the room remained silent, with monks from various sects still maintaining their salute postures.
The sun slowly sets in the west, and as night falls, the lights in Xuanhuang Tower slowly light up, but the room remains silent.
The cold wind howled above the rivers at night, and such a long wait also caused some doubts to arise in the hearts of the monks.
At this moment, a cold wind blew into the Xuanhuang Tower, and the door was actually blown open by the cold wind.
The monks followed the door and looked into the room, only to find that it was already empty.
"His Majesty the Divine Lord has left?"
All the cultivators were stunned. They had not noticed any fluctuations of magical power, but there was no trace of the divine king in the room.
Although it was not surprising that the God had such power, the cultivators from the major sects present still felt a little disappointed as they had not seen the God's true appearance.
At this moment, Shang Yu of the Sword Forging Pavilion looked at the empty room, his eyes suddenly widened and he exclaimed:
"There was a fluctuation of space cracks in this room!"
No matter whether it was the envoy of the Imperial Observatory or the monks of the Cave Heaven Blessed Land, when they heard these words, four big words suddenly flashed through their minds.
The miraculous power of Taoism - crossing the void!
While the major sects were still guarding the Xuanhuang Tower, Shen Yuan had already brought Gong Buyu and a few others on board an inconspicuous small steamer and headed towards Yunzhou.
The reason why Shen Yuan was able to escape in front of all the monks from various major sects was naturally not because he mastered the magical power to cross the void, but because he used the magical power to drive away gods.
After the supernatural power of exorcising gods has entered a realm, it not only brings blessings from incense and gods, but even the mantras and edicts that can be used by ordinary cultivators are greatly strengthened.
In the Jishui River basin where the divine way returns to heaven and earth, Shen Yuan is able to obtain the blessing of the Jishui divine way.
As long as the cultivator's cultivation level does not exceed Shen Yuan's one major realm, Shen Yuan can use the mantra command to forcibly deceive the other party's cognition.
The strongest person in the entire conference was only at the Qi training stage and was simply unable to resist the influence of the true word decree.
Shen Yuan simply issued a true decree and walked out of the Xuanhuang Tower in full view of everyone, and no one could notice it at all.
Not choosing to contact the Imperial Observatory and the major sects was actually Shen Yuan's way of protecting himself.
Although Shen Yuan seemed to be very proud of suppressing Jidu Dragon Palace with just one word, only Shen Yuan himself knew that the whole thing was because he was unable to confront the Giant Clam Water God head-on, so he used a tricky method to attack Jidu Dragon Palace in order to intimidate Jidu Dragon Palace and the Giant Clam Water God.
"Because we can't defeat the Demon King of the Spirit Refining, we can only suppress the Dragon Palace to scare him."
This sounds incredible, but it is the truth.
Shen Yuan's training time was too short, and it was almost impossible for him to fight against the Demon King of Spirit Refining with his own strength.
On the contrary, with the help of the Jidu Dragon Seal and the magical power to exorcise gods, which is the origin of the incense and fire religion, Shen Yuan has the advantage when facing the Jidu Dragon Palace.
In addition, the current Jidu Dragon King Ao Lang was originally a fake who had not been conferred an imperial title by the Heavenly Court and held all the key points. Shen Yuan destroyed the foundation of the Jidu Dragon Palace and liberated the position of the Jidu Dragon King, which caused conflicts within the Jishui tribe. This is how he was able to suppress the Jidu Dragon Palace on his own.
Shen Yuan, who knew his own background well, had no confidence at all to contact those large sects that had their backs on blessed lands.
If any old monster from the cave heaven uses trickery to come down to the world and pay homage to the God Lord Shen Yuan, Shen Yuan may not be able to withstand it.
As for the Great Xia court, although it does not have any ancient powerful men from the blessed land, as a human dynasty, its foundation must be impressive, and Shen Yuan is quite wary of it.
Although there was no formal contact, Shen Yuan could already feel that there was a subtle tacit understanding between himself and the Great Xia court.
Xue Mingzhi, who had made his mark in the imperial capital, must have caught the attention of the Great Xia court. To some extent, Xue Mingzhi was the product of the tacit understanding between himself and the Great Xia court.
Before he truly acquires the strength to match his status, Shen Yuan still hopes to maintain this tacit understanding.
