Fang Jian sat down on the sandalwood chair at the head of the Shangshan Hall, and Liu Zhiyan did not notice that Fang Jian had entered the Shangshan Hall.
It was Fang Jian who coughed lightly, and Liu Zhiyan suddenly realized what was happening, and immediately sat up from the sandalwood chair.
"Liu Zhiyan pays his respects to Master Hongqing. I didn't know that Master Hongqing had come. I am extremely rude. I hope Master Hongqing will punish me." Liu Zhiyan bowed and said.
Fang Jian smiled and said, "No need to be polite. There's no need to follow these rules here. The patrol disciple told me that you have something important to report to me after returning from Nanling Mountain."
Liu Zhiyan immediately replied, "Yes, Master Hongqing, ten days ago, I was sitting in Nanling Mountain and suddenly noticed something unusual happening in the passage of the Dharma Protector Formation. I came out to check, but I saw Junior Brother Jingbing outside. So I opened the passage, but unexpectedly...
Junior Brother Jing Bing only sent a letter in, asking me to deliver it to Master Hong Qing, and then he left."
Fang Jian asked, "Where is the letter?"
Liu Zhiyan immediately took out the letter from his Niwan Palace, handed it to Fang Jian and said, "Here it is."
Fang Jian took the letter in his hand and checked it with his magic power, and found that the letter had not been opened by anyone.
Because the letters Jing Bing sent to him were sealed with the Heavenly Thunder Orthodoxy Law, if someone opened the letter in the middle, the seal of the Heavenly Thunder Orthodoxy Law would be broken.
Fang Jian saw a flash of lightning in his hand, and the letter suddenly opened. Then Fang Jian scanned it with his divine sense, and his brows immediately frowned.
Liu Zhiyan looked at Fang Jian's expression and asked anxiously, "Master Hongqing, did something happen over at Canglan Sea?"
Fang Jian shook his head and said, "No, it's something happening in the Western Continent."
"Western Continent..." Liu Zhiyan was stunned when he heard this. How could the letter sent back from Canglanhai contain information about Western Continent?
Fang Jian looked at Liu Zhiyan's stunned expression and couldn't help but laugh: "Do you think I went through so much trouble to enter the Canglan Sea just for the few magical herbs and precious materials in the Canglan Sea?"
Liu Zhiyan didn't react immediately after hearing Fang Jian's words. But after only thirty breaths, Liu Zhiyan's eyes widened and he asked in astonishment, "Could it be... Western Continent?"
"That's right!" Fang Jian said, "The Canglan Sea is not only connected to our East Continent, but also to the West Continent."
Upon hearing this, Liu Zhiyan was immediately surprised and asked, "Could it be that Master Hongqing is planning to use the Canglan Sea to establish a presence in the Western Continent?"
"You can say that," Fang Jian said, "We can try to recruit the demon immortals from the Canglan Sea as our companions."
Liu Zhiyan was startled when he heard this, and after hesitating for a moment, he said, "Master Hongqing, those are demon immortals, born from demons..."
Fang Jian raised his eyebrows and looked at Liu Zhiyan and said, "What's wrong with monsters? Monsters are not demons, and monster immortals have shed their monster nature. They can enter the gates of Taoism and Buddhism, but they can't talk to monsters."
At this point, Fang Jian asked Liu Zhiyan, "Are the disciples of Nanji Xianweng, Crane Xian and Deer Xian, considered the monsters you mentioned?"
"This..." Liu Zhiyan stood there in shock, speechless for a long time.
Finally, he bowed to Fang Jian and said, "Thank you, Master Hongqing, for your guidance. I now understand a little bit."
"Hmm." Fang Jian said, "Do you know why the Heavenly Court allows the existence of demons but not monsters?"
Liu Zhiyan shook his head and said, "Disciple, I don't know."
Fang Jian said, "There are two reasons. First, demons weren't born in this world, but rather in the Primordial Chaos. They are inherently incompatible with the rules of this world. Once a true demon from another sect enters this world, it will cause turmoil in the world's calamity forces."
"Secondly, and most importantly, demons can subtly influence the minds of living beings through their own unique characteristics. Whether it's Taoism, Buddhism, or the Heavenly Court, when educating sentient beings, they allow them to freely choose their beliefs and don't force them. But demons are different. They can confuse the human mind, luring your mind and soul into the demonic path without you even realizing it, turning you into a puppet of the demonic path."
At this point, Fang Jian asked Liu Zhiyan, "Were those people who followed the Tianshi Mansion forced by the Tianshi Mansion?"
"No." Liu Zhiyan said, "They all couldn't stand the slavery of the Divine King Palace and voluntarily converted to the Four Ancestral Heavenly Masters."
"That's the truth," Fang Jian said. "All living beings in the world have the right to freely choose their beliefs, and no one can force them. However, the true demons of the outer sects use various temptations and inducements to lead people into the devil's way, changing their minds and confusing their souls, turning them into their subordinate demon disciples rather than independent living beings."
"This is why demons can exist in this world, but monsters cannot," Fang Jian said.
Liu Zhiyan really understood this time. He bowed to Fang Jian and said, "Thank you, Master Hongqing, for your teachings. I understand."
"Yes." Seeing that Liu Zhiyan really understood this time, Fang Jian nodded, then raised the letter in his hand and said, "Now I can tell you what the contents of this letter are."
Liu Zhiyan immediately showed a surprised expression, but Fang Jian had already used his magic power to send the letter to him.
Liu Zhiyan immediately took the letter, took a look at it, and then said in astonishment: "The Kingdom of Bliss? The heretic true demon wants to establish a kingdom in the Western Continent?"
Fang Jian said calmly, "This isn't surprising. If the Outer Path True Demons want to gain the luck of this world and merge them with the real world, they must establish a kingdom or sect. That old ancestor, Po Xun, obviously doesn't have the qualifications or ability to establish a demon sect, so he can only establish a kingdom belonging to the Outer Path True Demons."
"It's just..." Fang Jian pondered for a moment and said, "I didn't expect them to be so quick."
When Liu Zhiyan heard this, he panicked and asked, "Master Hongqing, what should we do now?"
