Xu Pingfeng was able to steal fortune by relying on the Heavenly Gu's ability to "shift stars and change constellations".
The supervisor continued, "But sorcerers have a fatal flaw: once they lose their territory, their power will decline. And the so-called invincibility is relative."
Even within the Great Feng territory, I couldn't possibly defeat and kill multiple First-Rank officials simultaneously, not even the First Generation. That's why the Bodhisattvas of Buddhism assisted and restrained the First Generation, allowing us to fight our way to the capital.
The current situation in Dafeng is almost exactly the same as it was back then.
"Therefore, Xu Pingfeng wants to replicate the methods used by Emperor Wuzong and you back then."
And it has already succeeded; Buddhism has once again played the role of a tool.
Warlock is truly a system cursed by fate.
After finishing their business, Li Chang'an said, "There's one more thing. The ancient corpse in the underground palace outside Yongzhou City has recently been destroyed."
Li Chang'an and Luo Yuheng went to see it later, and found that the corpse servant had already been killed.
The supervisor grunted in response and gazed into the distance without speaking.
"In that case, I will go to the academy and see Dean Zhao."
After Li Chang'an finished speaking, he immediately used the Xingzi Secret Technique to arrive at Yunlu Academy.
Upon meeting Zhao Shou, Zhao Shou smiled and said, "I originally wanted to wait until you reached the second rank before we talked, but I can't wait any longer."
Li Chang'an's current Confucian cultivation level is still at the third rank.
Zhao Shou continued, "You may come into contact with those secrets at any time, so it's better to tell you."
The two entered the house, and Zhao Shou glanced at the empty tea table and said unhappily, "There should be tea here."
A flash of light, and two steaming cups of tea appeared on the coffee table.
Li Chang'an said with a smile, "I wonder which unlucky person the dean summoned for tea."
He glanced at the teacup and said, "Very good, it hasn't been drunk from."
If you mutter to yourself in bed at night: "There should be a wife here."
Is it possible to summon someone else's wife?
Li Chang'an decided to give it a try.
He then thought that since he already had a wife, this statement would likely bring her to his attention.
However, it's unclear which one will be summoned.
We'll still...be together...
Just thinking about it is exciting.
Zhao Shou took a sip of tea and smiled, "Now, I will tell you all the secrets of the supreme realm that I know. Because the power of the Confucian Sage is waning, and the Witch God is about to break free from the seal."
To prevent widespread suffering in the Central Plains and even throughout the land, Wei Yuan chose to sacrifice himself to solidify the seal of Confucianism.
Although Li Chang'an had prior knowledge, he still cooperated and asked, "Why did the Confucian Sage seal the Witch God, and why did he seal the Gu God? The Heavenly Gu Elder conspired with Xu Pingfeng to seize the destiny, also in order to strengthen the seal."
Because the Confucian sage statue at the bottom of the Southern Abyss had also cracked. Confucian cultivation is related to destiny, and the Confucian sage possessed destiny. Therefore, the Heavenly Gu Elder believed that seizing a vast amount of destiny could strengthen the seal, since it shared the same origin as the Confucian sage's power.
Zhao Shou remained silent for a while, then nodded without refuting, saying, "The Gu God is an ancient god and demon, and it has no pity for the common people. Its nature is to be bloodthirsty and warlike, so such a ferocious creature must naturally be sealed. As for the Witch God, it is attempting to invade the Central Plains. I don't need to elaborate on how terrifying a superior enemy is."
Li Chang'an shook his head. "The reason the Central Plains were sealed was to prevent them from being invaded. But the existence of the Witch God predates that of the Confucian Sage. If the Witch God wanted to invade the Central Plains, then the Central Plains would have long been under the control of the Witch God Cult. The reason why the Confucian Sage sealed the Witch God is not that simple."
The era of gods and demons has ended. To date, a total of five supreme beings have appeared: the Confucian Sage, the Witch God, the Gu God, the Buddha, and the Taoist Venerable.
The Confucian sage was the youngest, appeared the latest, and died the earliest.
The argument that the witch god was sealed away for the safety of the Central Plains is completely untenable.
Zhao Shou continued, "Not only them, but even the Buddha was sealed away by the Confucian sage. Five hundred years ago, Buddhism helped Emperor Wuzong usurp the throne. A Bodhisattva died at the hands of the first supervisor, and the Buddha did not intervene at that time."
Three hundred years ago, the Great Feng Dynasty broke its promises, and Confucianism suppressed Buddhism. The Buddha, too, did not intervene.
Li Chang'an asked, "How much do you know about the Daoist Master?"
Zhao Shou shook his head: "Dao Zun is the most mysterious among the top-grade experts. He attained enlightenment in ancient times, before the Confucian Sage was even born, and Dao Zun had already disappeared."
"As far as we know, apart from my Confucian school, the lifespan of a top-tier expert is almost infinite, and it is impossible for them to die naturally. However, the Dao Venerable disappeared for thousands of years, and there is no trace of him."
A senior scholar once analyzed that the Daoist Master encountered some insurmountable calamity, and in order to survive, he was forced to transform into the Three Pure Ones.
Li Chang'an knew that even Buddha was an incarnation of the Daoist master. As it turned out, Zhao Shou's knowledge was still quite limited.
"Which senior?"
"Master Jinlian..."
Sigh... an orange cat.
……
Heavenly King's Mansion.
The garden was completely silent.
Even the usually cheerful Biao Biao didn't dare to speak.
She blinked her peach blossom eyes and calmly observed Luo Yuheng.
This guy is trying to steal Huaiqing's position as the main wife!
So, what does that have to do with me?
Luo Yuheng glanced at the group of women, and Biao Biao looked expectantly toward the entrance of the Heavenly King's Mansion.
Mu Nanzhi took out a sachet and started eating melon seeds.
Xu Lingyue lowered her head, seemingly lost in thought.
Princess Pingyang and Wang Simu both felt their hearts pounding.
The other three are all legitimate princesses, so even if Luo Yuheng were to vie for the position of empress, she would not be implicated.
But those two aren't.
Luo Yuheng walked over with a determined look in his eyes, holding a whisk in his hand.
"I have already cultivated with Li Lang, and I am now his Daoist partner."
“Xu Lingyue, you are a disciple of my Human Sect, you should know the hierarchy of superiors and inferiors.”
Xu Lingyue's voice was barely audible, "The Daoist Master... is right."
Luo Yuheng then looked at Mu Nanzhi, "Mu Nanzhi, you are a widow who has been married twice, you should be aware of this."
Mu Nanzhi rolled her eyes. "I won't argue with you since you just helped me cheat."
"Very well, I understand. Anyway, the position of Empress will never fall into my hands."
Luo Yuheng nodded in satisfaction, then turned his gaze to the alluring woman.
"Princess Lin'an..."
Before Luo Yuheng could even pressure her, Biao Biao chickened out.
"The Imperial Preceptor is highly skilled, a dignified second-rank master, and a pillar of the Great Feng Dynasty."
I am naturally no match for the Imperial Preceptor, but my elder sister, Empress Huaiqing, is the ruler of the thirteen continents of the Great Feng Dynasty.
Not only is she blessed with good fortune, but she has also broken through to the fourth rank of martial artist, and it is estimated that she will soon advance to the extraordinary level...
Biao Biao didn't explicitly state who she favored, since it wasn't her turn anyway; let the Empress and the Imperial Advisor fight it out themselves.
Luo Yuheng sneered, "Well done, Huaiqing, she's already at the fourth rank. It seems that Li Lang and she cultivate together quite frequently."
Several women blushed slightly, surprised that the Imperial Preceptor was so indifferent to the matter of dual cultivation, mentioning it repeatedly in public.
Luo Yuheng then looked at Wang Simu and Pingyang, "Miss Wang, Princess Pingyang, one of you is a friend of Li Lang, and the other is a disciple of Li Lang."
I know that you may like Xu Lang, or you may have feelings for him.
However, I hope you will recognize the seriousness of the matter. From this day forward, I wish you to abandon any inappropriate thoughts you may have.
Luo Yuheng said "Biao Biao," and Biao Biao wasn't unhappy, but she was displeased when he mentioned Pingyang and Lin'an.
"As the head of the Human Sect, the Imperial Preceptor is my elder..."
"Pfft...cough cough..." Mu Nanzhi spat out a piece of sunflower seed shells and choked on the remaining shells in her mouth.
“Lin’an is right, Yuheng, you are an elder…”
Luo Yuheng's eyebrows shot up. "Mu Nanzhi, you're quite capable. You used to be Huaiqing and Lin'an's aunt, and now you're sharing a husband with them. Aren't you ashamed!"
Mu Nanzhi waved her hands repeatedly, begging for mercy, "Alright, alright, I give up."
Lin'an continued, "Grand Preceptor, is what you said to Sister Pingyang something an elder should say to a junior? Telling a junior not to seduce her own man?"
"If Sister Pingyang loves her husband, why can't she marry him?"
"Hmph! Pingyang is Li Lang's disciple!" Luo Yuheng smiled, his tone softening somewhat, but his attitude remained firm.
After all, this is about loving people and not wanting more people to share Li Chang'an.
Lin'an suddenly became unhappy. She glared at Luo Yuheng with her peach blossom eyes, which she couldn't bring herself to be fierce about, without flinching at all.
She was, after all, a princess and the empress's younger sister. As long as she wasn't vying for the position of empress, she still had the confidence to back up her career.
Moreover, she and Pingyang grew up together, and Pingyang hasn't even entered the sect yet, so it's not appropriate for her to directly compete with her.
