Chapter 761: Reincarnation shortens one’s lifespan
Without waiting for Zi Qiong to express his opinion, Xu Bai couldn't help but ask in confusion: "This transaction is of great importance. It is understandable that you are personally involved. But with your strength, it should be easy for you to hide your identity. Why..."
"Aren't you afraid that our Futian will get to know about this and blackmail you in return?" Xu Bai stared at Ziqiong with burning eyes.
Zi Qiong said calmly: "Blackmail? Haha, don't get me wrong. Although I am here on behalf of the Five Elders, this doesn't mean anything."
"Just running errands for you."
Ziqiong looked completely fearless, and this attitude made Xu Bai a little suspicious.
"Don't be surprised. After all, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance belongs to [Chuanfa Tianzun]. And I have only been loyal to Chuanfa Tianzun from the beginning to the end. As for the rest, they are all insignificant matters."
"There are fifty great ways, and forty-nine heavenly ways. If the Mysterious Heavenly Mirror wants to see through everything in the world, then it stands to reason that there are things in the world that are beyond its control."
"Otherwise, this [New Heaven] will be imperfect."
Ziqiong looked up at the sky and explained slowly.
"So even if the Heavenly Lord knew about what I did, he would not blame me. He might even reward me."
"Humph, but those ordinary people may not be able to understand my intentions."
Although it was only a few short sentences, the amount of information contained in it was a bit terrifying. After saying this, Xu Bai fell into deep thought.
"If you haven't reached that level yet, knowing too much may not be a good thing." Soon, the Immortal Master Ziqiong spoke, interrupting Xu Bai's thoughts.
With a flick of his finger, he threw the [Kongming Stone Mother] containing the trading supplies over.
This time, no contract was signed.
It seems that he is very confident in his own strength and is not afraid that Xu Bai will play any tricks.
However, Xu Bai still did as usual. After checking the list of materials in the stone mother, he handed over the fifty [End Disks] that had been agreed upon in advance.
"This is the first batch. The rest will need to be delivered slowly in the future," Xu Bai explained.
The fifty final stone disks were not placed in the storage space, but were stacked like thin pieces of paper.
As the mind turns, they will separate on their own and form individual entities.
Ziqiong took one of the discs in his hand and looked at it.
After a moment, he said thoughtfully: "This thing looks ordinary, but it can block the perception of the Tianxuan Treasure Mirror..."
"interesting."
After putting away the End Disc, Ziqiong then said, "For future transactions, someone else will be your counterpart. If there is any emergency in Futian, you can also go to Liu Wenyu."
"But don't try to get involved with me. Although I don't care..."
"But if those people target you, I won't be able to protect you even if I come forward."
The figure of Ziqiong Immortal gradually faded, and just as he came, he left suddenly.
"Senior, facing the aggressiveness of the Tianxuan Mirror, why did the Five Elders just give in again and again? They didn't even have any countermeasures?" Xu Bai asked before the figure of Ziqiong Immortal was about to leave completely.
Ziqiong didn't answer, but just looked up at the sky vaguely.
Then disappeared.
"Hmm?" Xu Bai also looked up at the sky.
After a moment, he was shocked.
This "sky" obviously does not refer to the Tianxuan Mirror.
Ziqiong Immortal said that from beginning to end, he was loyal to [Chuanfa Tianzun].
Then his actions before leaving were also very obvious.
It’s not that the Five Elders don’t want to retaliate.
It’s just that now that the Lord of Dharma is here, they dare not do so.
In Xu Bai's mind, the vision of Mr. Bai's sigh reappeared.
"There is an immortal road ahead that cannot be stepped on. The Dharma-spreading Heavenly Venerable is above."
Xu Bai subconsciously clenched his hands: "In the last life, perhaps because of the departure of Chuan Fa, Zi Qiong turned to the Five Elders Association again and became a pure spy."
"In this life, I used the Chaos Technique to bring back the lost Dharma. Therefore, Ziqiong still insisted on his unique stance and did not completely act as a spy for the Five Elders."
In an instant, Xu Bai, who had figured out the whole story, had many doubts in his mind.
That is the real purpose of teaching the Dharma.
If His ultimate goal is to transcend and leave the Xuanhuang Realm.
Even if he was very concerned about the "chaos" formula, he would probably choose to leave again after returning to search without any results.
But now it's been a long time.
[The Lord of Dharma] seemed to still be staying in the Xuanhuang Realm and showed no signs of leaving.
"It seems that the Xuanhuang Realm has a special meaning for the transmission of the Dharma. It cannot be abandoned casually."
"Moreover, the upgrading of the Tianxuan Mirror in this world must have been approved by the person who taught the Dharma. He needed the Tianxuan Mirror to complete its transformation, but he acquiesced to possible loopholes..."
"The Way of Heaven is flawed. So He also has to impose restrictions on the Mysterious Heaven Mirror."
…
Many possible guesses instantly emerged in Xu Bai's mind.
Even though this body was blessed by heaven and earth and was gifted with extraordinary talents, it was still like seeing flowers in the fog, and it was impossible to guess the intention of passing on the Dharma.
His mind was a little confused. After returning to Tianling City, he was called over by Nangong Shirong again.
"There seem to be some bad rumors in the country recently. You go and deal with them." Nangong Shirong said this inexplicably.
Logically speaking, Xu Bai was only the liaison envoy of Tianliang Prefecture.
It would be natural for the Garrison or the Martial Arts Hall to take action when there were rumors. But Nangong Shirong quietly handed the matter over to him alone.
Xu Bai understood it instantly.
This matter should not be made a big deal and needs to be handled quickly and beautifully.
It was because he valued Xu Bai's ability that Nangong Shirong gave him the task.
The boss has given an order, and the subordinates naturally cannot refuse it.
"Don't worry, sir. I will definitely get it done." Xu Bai bowed and raised his head to ensure.
After the other party saw him off, Xu Bai asked someone and found out what the "bad" rumors that Nangong Shirong mentioned were about.
It turned out that in Tianliang Prefecture, there was a cultivator named Peng Qing who suddenly went mad and flew everywhere before his death.
He was flying around and talking nonsense.
He said that he was supposed to live for 500 years, but now he was only less than 400 years old and would die of old age.
There must be a thief who reduced the upper limit of his lifespan out of thin air.
Peng Qing cursed and then died suddenly in full view of everyone.
Moreover, his death was extremely miserable, with blood gushing out of all his orifices, and he seemed to have aged hundreds of years in an instant.
His appearance changed from a middle-aged monk to a decayed old man in an instant.
