"Who are you looking for?" The golden eyes glanced at the young man in black in front of him, seemingly still not having reacted.
“Chu Changliu, that’s his name here.” Zhou Ping’s lips pressed into a tight line. “He used to be from the Nine Provinces Continent… Can I go in and take a look?”
"I'm afraid I can't agree to this. I am the Heavenly Dao of this world, and your cultivation level is too high..." The current Heavenly Dao of the Nine Continents shook his head.
He couldn't possibly let an uncertain factor in.
Zhou Ping pursed his lips, his sword intent sharp and fierce, seemingly intending to force his way in.
"However, if you're looking for Chu Changliu, he's not on the Nine Provinces Continent. I'm probably the only one here who knows his whereabouts," the Heavenly Dao of the Nine Provinces Continent said slowly, glancing at the sword intent surrounding Zhou Ping.
Young people these days are so impatient; he was about to draw his sword before he could even finish speaking.
Hearing this, Zhou Ping's sword intent calmed down. "Where is he?"
"If we consider the jurisdictional boundaries of the God Realm, this is the Eastern Region. Chu Changliu... do you know his identity?" The Heavenly Dao of the Nine Continents glanced at Zhou Ping's expression, and after finding nothing unusual, slowly said, "He is the Lord of the Southern Region."
This universe is divided as follows.
Mortal Realm — Cultivation Realm — Immortal Realm — God Realm
The mortal realm is governed by the cultivation realm, and the various worlds within the cultivation realm are ruled by the celestial realm above, which in turn is led by the divine realm.
The realm of gods is further divided into four regions: east, west, south, and north.
The Nine Continents is a region under the jurisdiction of the Immortal Realm, which is part of the Divine Realm.
"If you're going to get to the Southern Region from here, it might take some effort. However, my true form happens to be staying in a certain Immortal Realm in the Eastern Region. You can go and find him." The Heavenly Dao of the Nine Provinces Continent took out a jade pendant and handed it out.
Zhou Ping stood there, "Is there... a more direct way?"
"Uh...aren't you here to pay a visit to Chu Changliu?" The Heavenly Dao of the Nine Provinces Continent fell into an eerie silence for a moment. "If it were a visit, the procedures would be much more complicated..."
“I’m in charge of the accounts,” Zhou Ping said calmly.
The Heavenly Dao of the Nine Provinces Continent: ...
What account?
That deity surnamed Chu is a very kind person and has been well-regarded for many years. How come he is in debt?
The Heavenly Dao of the Nine Provinces coughed twice, feigning seriousness, its ears practically perking up. "Then may I ask what debt you're collecting? If it's spirit stones, I'll pay it off..."
"A debt of love." Zhou Ping's dark eyes were terrifyingly deep.
The Heavenly Dao of the Nine Provinces Continent: ...
"Then I can't help you return it, but I can give you directions." That's quite a surprise! I haven't heard of any scandals involving that God Venerable Chu.
Zhou Ping's gaze was so sincere that the Heavenly Dao of the Nine Provinces nodded slightly, indicating that it truly was a debt of love owed by that person outside.
"The simplest way is to attack," the Heavenly Dao of the Nine Provinces said solemnly. "If you attack the Southern Region, Chu Changliu, as the lord of the Southern Region, will step in to handle it no matter how busy he is."
"As for how to get there, wait for me a moment." The Heavenly Dao of the Nine Continents quickly formed hand seals, and the surrounding spiritual energy fluctuated greatly, causing his clothes to flutter.
As soon as he finished marking the last mark, a figure appeared in front of Zhou Ping.
The person's appearance was seven parts similar to that of the Heavenly Dao of the Nine Provinces Continent.
“Hello,” Zhou Ping greeted the person in front of him.
"Hmm, looking for Chu Changliu? Your name is Zhou Ping, right?" The man nodded and opened a path for him.
“My name is Li Yan. If you follow these passages, you can go directly to the outside of the Southern Divine Realm Temple.”
"I suggest you call him. After all, if you take the usual route, he might not come out."
I didn't expect this matter to be resolved so quickly.
"Thank you," Zhou Ping said to Li Yan, who had appeared in a hurry, before turning and walking towards the passage he had opened.
After Zhou Ping left, Li Yan and the Heavenly Dao of the Nine Provinces exchanged a glance.
"How many days do you bet Chu Changliu can hold out?"
"I bet he'll run away as soon as he realizes it."
...
When Chu Changliu first returned to the temple, he was a little scared, anxious, and irritable, which made him less efficient. He was afraid that Zhou Ping would come and settle scores with him every day.
Several months have passed, and Chu Changliu has finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He stopped thinking about it and spent his days planting flowers and fishing after reviewing the reports. He was very content and completely forgot about the things he had been worried about.
After scattering some fish food into the pond, Chu Changliu sat on a deck chair basking in the sun. "I knew he wouldn't be able to find me. I was just scaring myself."
He hummed an unknown tune as he watched the small fish in the pond.
"Sigh..." He sighed unconsciously again.
How could he know that Zhou Ping couldn't find him? He felt a little uneasy about it.
Is he planning to secretly run away to the world of Godslayer?
But the problem is they just had a fight. If he runs over there like that, what kind of person is he?
Chu Changliu was torn between his own thoughts and his inner turmoil.
Just as he was watching the fish swimming happily in the pond, he heard a loud bang.
A parabola streaks across the sky.
The one who was knocked away seemed to be a divine servant of his Southern Domain Temple?
Chu Changliu's eyes instantly turned into vertical pupils, his aura changed, and he turned and flew towards the temple.
"Who dares to trespass on my temple! Do you have a death wish?!" He flew to the outside of the temple almost instantly, the bristling fox glaring fiercely at the outside, grabbing a weapon at random and throwing it out.
bite--
Ding ding ding—
A sword blocked the thrown spear.
When Chu Changliu saw the sword, his pupils contracted, and then his vertical pupils widened suddenly.
Why does this sword look so familiar?
He silently took a step back and unconsciously swallowed.
"Chu Changliu".
A young man in black stood outside the temple, his body radiating a chilling aura of swords.
The surrounding attendants, armed and solemn, shouted, "How dare you trespass into the temple and address your lord by his name!"
Chu Changliu's brain went blank for a moment, then he took two steps back.
However, he still whispered the order, "Don't hit them, they're our own people..."
The surrounding attendants exchanged glances, somewhat puzzled. They had never seen Chu Changliu make such a friend before, but they still obediently put down their weapons.
Zhou Ping took two steps forward and stepped onto the temple steps.
"Don't come any closer, let's talk this out!" Chu Changliu took two steps back, his previous fierceness completely gone, leaving only a guilty conscience.
"...I'm here, what are you afraid of?" Zhou Ping stopped where he was and looked at Chu Changliu standing in the temple.
Chu Changliu's mind raced. "No, no, how could you have found me? Someone must have given you directions. Who!"
"...You really don't want to see me?"
