Although it has not yet returned to its former intimacy, it is at least on the right track.
On weekdays, apart from practicing, Jiang Zhige would listen to the music of the two women, or drink and discuss Taoism with Lu Tianjiao.
Life was so comfortable and leisurely that Jiang Zhige almost forgot what he should do in the future.
On this day, Jiang Zhige sat quietly in the woods as usual, tasting wine and delicious food, while Mo Ziyan and Ning Qiu Shui sat beside him.
After reaching the Soul Breaking Realm, one can achieve complete Fasting. However, as a great emperor, Jiang Zhige regards eating and drinking as a kind of enjoyment rather than simply filling his stomach.
Ning Qiushui picked up a piece of tender meat that exuded a fragrant aroma and brought it to Jiang Zhige's mouth, and asked with a smile: "Junior brother, it tastes good, right?"
Jiang Zhige was not embarrassed. He opened his mouth and swallowed the tender meat. He nodded and said, "Thank you for taking care of this table of dishes, Senior Sister Qiushui."
This table full of dishes is called the Donglin Eighteen Banquet. It was Jiang Zhige’s favorite dish when he was in Tianyun Pavilion, and it is also one of the most famous delicacies in Donglin Province.
Mo Ziyan next to him didn't say anything, but picked up a piece of meat and put it into his mouth.
The delicious taste lingered on her taste buds, but she only felt a little bitterness.
Although Mo Ziyan and Jiang Zhige have become harmonious after getting along with each other for so long, Ning Qiushui and Jiang Zhige can be said to be very close.
If she hadn't been there as a light bulb, the two of them would probably have already decided to spend their lives together.
Although she felt bitter, Mo Ziyan had no complaints as she was self-aware.
Putting aside Ning Qiu Shui's tenderness and the harm he had done to Jiang Zhige in the Zhengyang Temple, in Jiang Zhige's eyes, he was more of a disciple.
When Jiang Zhige took the risk to marry Mo Ziyan, it was more because he couldn't bear Mo Ziyan's suffering, rather than because he really liked her.
If you put yourself in their shoes, you will understand that it is really difficult to develop feelings for a little girl who you have watched grow up and taken care of like your own daughter.
The more Mo Ziyan thought about it, the sadder she felt. She could only interrupt her own random thoughts and looked up at Jiang Zhige who was drinking.
She didn't forget that she had something important to discuss today.
"Master."
"Junior brother."
Before Mo Ziyan could finish her words, Ning Qiu Shui suddenly put down his chopsticks and sighed with disappointment.
Jiang Zhige was confused. He looked at Mo Ziyan and then at Ning Qiu Shui.
"In recent years, the seal of the heavens has loosened. Not only are there always monsters invading, but many powerful people have also chosen to be contaminated by demonic energy and turn to the three demon emperors."
"The Heaven is in dire straits right now. Countless heroes have died fighting for the peace of the Heaven. As the Lord of the Heaven and the respected Emperor Xuan Cang, you are drinking and eating meat here. Is that really okay?"
Ning Qiu Shui had a sad look on his face, as if he could see the cruel scene of all beings in heaven being slaughtered.
Jiang Zhige's eyes turned heavy when he heard this, and he was speechless for a moment.
After a moment of hesitation, he sighed and said, "Senior Sister Qiushui, I've already said that I have no intention of saving the world."
Not to mention that Jiang Zhige is just a time traveler now, even the Emperor Xuan Cang in his memory has long lost his cynicism. The resolute death for the heaven at that time was his last act of kindness since he was devastated by this world.
After going through countless hardships to reach the realm of the emperor, not to mention enjoying the blessings, does it mean that you must pay for the vast number of sentient beings? Hearing this, Ning Qiushui did not persuade him any more, shook his head and laughed, "The great immortals guard the gate of heaven, suppress demons, and pacify the chaotic world."
"Junior brother, do you know that it was because of your morality that countless monks bravely went to their deaths just to protect the sentient beings in the heavens that you once protected?"
The supreme being who can unite the entire heaven is now only concerned with taking care of himself, drinking and eating meat with beautiful women by his side. This is truly the most ironic joke in the world.
Mo Ziyan was slightly shocked. In the past, Ning Qiu Shui would only follow Jiang Zhige's wishes and never let Jiang Zhige feel negative emotions. Why did she deliberately ridicule Jiang Zhige today?
Could it be that Ning Qiu Shui feels that Jiang Zhige, who is now cold-hearted by nature, has disappointed her?
Jiang Zhige looked unhappy, but he had no intention of refutation.
Before Mo Ziyan could figure out the reason, she heard Ning Qiushui sigh again and said regretfully: "It's a pity, your good sister may also die for your heaven."
"What do you mean by this, Senior Sister Qiushui?"
Jiang Zhige's pupils shrank slightly, and he suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Junior brother, thirty years ago, Bai Wuji became a demon and defected to the Wanluo Realm, becoming the pawn of the Heavenly Emperor. Now, he has reached the level of a half-emperor. After quietly breaking a seal in the Heavenly Realm, he was able to command many demon cultivators and monsters. His momentum to destroy the Heavenly Realm is unstoppable. Today, he has even led his army to attack the Xuancang Holy Land."
"The Xuancang Holy Land houses the temple of a great emperor like you. It is also the place with the most abundant spiritual energy in the heavens. If it is lost, the heavens will be in ruins in the future."
"Miss Nangong led many Xuan Cang remnants and cultivators to fight against Bai Wuji in order to protect the peace of the heavenly realm and the 'corpse' of her master. I'm afraid she won't live long now."
After listening to Ning Qiu Shui's words, Jiang Zhige showed a complicated expression and fell silent.
The rotation period is called the Half-Emperor Realm, which is actually just a respectful title. There are nine levels of Heavenly Wheel Shackles. Each level is like the gap between the Saint Realm and the Profound Realm. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a chasm.
Mo Ziyan, who possesses the Holy Body of Stealing Heaven, can transcend the order of heaven and earth and defeat a Half-Emperor at the first level of Heavenly Wheel, but he has no chance of fighting against a Half-Emperor at the second level of Heavenly Wheel.
Although we don’t know which level of Heavenly Wheel shackles Bai Wuji is in, if the Emperor doesn’t come out, with the help of countless monsters, he may be able to defeat Nangong Rou and capture the heaven.
Over the past thirty years, Jiang Zhige's original nature has been mostly recovered. Now it is not a question of whether he can save the heaven, but that only he can save the heaven.
In front of the Immortal Emperor who controls the origin of the Great Dao, let alone Bai Wuji, even a thousand Half-Emperors who have reached the Nine Turns of the Heavenly Wheel would be no match for him.
"Senior Sister Qiushui, I've said before that my old self is already dead."
Jiang Zhige said the same thing, but this time he seemed a little guilty.
In fact, it would be fine to go and rescue Nangong Rou, but this time it is not in the deserted wilderness. Once he shows up to rescue her, the news that Emperor Xuan Cang is not dead will inevitably spread throughout the heavens and the worlds, and then he will never have peace.
After these words were spoken, Ning Qiu Shui and Mo Zi Yan looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh.
In the past, Mo Ziyan did not have much confidence and thought that Jiang Zhige might not be pretending to be heartless, but really had no interest in her. Now she finally realized that Jiang Zhige was just trying to save face and suffer.
