save the bachelors

Chapter 5129-5132 [Successful Purification]

"Your Majesty has worked very hard," Xiang Nan said, bowing.

"General Fei Peng, you've matured a lot in the mortal realm after a thousand years of training," the Heavenly Emperor said with a smile and a nod.

Previously, Fei Peng was extremely arrogant because of his status as the number one divine general in the Heavenly Realm. He didn't even look at any of the gods and Buddhas in the heavens.

It's not easy that he now understands the hardships involved.

"One cannot gain wisdom without experience; people always need to grow," Xiang Nan said with a smile.

He wasn't a hothead like Fei Peng, who became arrogant and ignorant just because he had some strength. As a result, he reincarnated in the mortal realm for a thousand years, experiencing all the joys and sorrows of love, hate, greed, and the coldness and warmth of human relationships.

"It seems you truly understand," the Heavenly Emperor laughed. "Very good, your experience of descending to the mortal realm was not in vain. I think you can stay in the divine realm from now on and resume your identity as Fei Peng."

"Thank you for your praise, Heavenly Emperor," Xiang Nan said, cupping his hands. "However, I cannot stay in the God Realm for the time being, because I still have some karmic debts to settle in the Human Realm. I will return to the God Realm after I have settled them. Otherwise, with the entanglements of karma, I will find it difficult to live freely."

“That makes sense. In that case, we'll wait until you've settled your karmic debts before returning to the God Realm.” The Heavenly Emperor nodded.

The divine realm is not allowed to have emotions and desires.

Because the gods were created by Fuxi using the fruit of the divine tree, although there is a distinction between male and female, once they come into contact with each other, the gods' divine power will gradually disappear. Therefore, the divine realm stipulates that gods cannot have desires.

Xiang Nan has karmic entanglements and complex relationships of love and hate in the mortal realm, which he will find difficult to forget even if he remains in the celestial realm. In that case, he might disrupt the peace of the celestial realm.

So it's better to let him return to the human realm and settle his entanglements of love and hate. As the saying goes, death ends all things; then he can return to the celestial realm.

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Xiang Nan said, bowing.

……

"Your Majesty, the reason I am going to the heavens is because I was entrusted by the elders of Mount Shu to purify an evil aura at the Heavenly Pool," Xiang Nan continued. "This evil aura is extremely powerful. It can absorb evil thoughts, malice, and desires from the Six Realms and grow stronger. Once it takes shape, its strength will be extraordinary, and it is very likely that even the Three Realms will not be able to defeat it. Therefore, I humbly request Your Majesty's permission."

"I already know about this matter. Go then," the Heavenly Emperor nodded.

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Xiang Nan said, bowing. Then, the four of them, led by the heavenly soldiers, headed to the Heavenly Pool in the Divine Realm to purify the magic box.

The four of them soon arrived at Tianchi.

The water in the Heavenly Pool was indeed crystal clear, without any impurities. A refreshing aura wafted over, instantly giving one a sense of mental and physical well-being.

Xiang Nan then took out the magic box, preparing to immerse it in the Heavenly Pool.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me! I'll give you whatever you want!" the black mist immediately cried out. "Wealth and luxury, fine clothes and sumptuous food, beautiful women, high-ranking positions and generous salaries..."

Xiang Nan completely ignored it.

"Don't kill me, stop him! I can help you fulfill your wish, so you can have your brother all to yourself, and he can stay by your side forever~" the dark aura bewitched Longkui again.

"Don't kill me. I can make the Tang Clan the leader of the martial arts world. I can make your grandfather live forever. I can make you love each other forever..." the black aura bewitched Xuejian again.

"Don't kill me. If you kill me, all five of your masters will die, because we are all in this together. Killing me is the same as killing them," the black aura tempted Xu Changqing again.

Longkui, Xuejian, and Xu Changqing were all moved by Hei Qi's words.

Xu Changqing was especially astonished. "Is this true? If the magic box is purified, all five of my masters will die?" "So what if it's true? If it's not purified, it won't just be your five masters who die, but the entire Six Realms will fall under the rule of this black energy. The number of people who die will be countless." Xiang Nan replied.

“This…” Xu Changqing was stunned.

"Your five masters are all prepared to die, so why are you sad for them?" Xiang Nan said again. "Besides, their merits are so high that they will surely be reborn into a good family after death."

At that time, not only will wealth and glory be within their grasp, but they might even be able to join the Shu Mountain sect and cultivate immortality. What reason do you have to feel sorry for them?

After saying that, Xiang Nan immersed the magic box into the Heavenly Pool.

The water in Tianchi quickly soaked the magic box, and the black aura was immediately purified by the extremely pure water of Tianchi.

"Don't kill me, come and save me, Changqing, I'm in so much pain~" The black mist still tried to bewitch people, refusing to die. It transformed into the appearance of Daoist Qingwei, Daoist Canggu, Daoist Jingming, and others, and cried out for help loudly in the Heavenly Pool.

"Master, Master, Master~" Xu Changqing couldn't help but rush forward to save them when he saw this.

After all, they were his mentors, who not only raised him from childhood but also taught him the Taoist arts of Mount Shu through words and deeds. They were even closer to him than his own parents.

Therefore, seeing them in such pain, Xu Changqing naturally found it hard to bear and was easily bewitched by the black aura.

"Don't move." Xiang Nan pointed and poked Xu Changqing, preventing him from making the wrong choice.

In the drama, if Xu Changqing hadn't been bewitched by the Evil Sword Immortal and hadn't thrown the Demon Box into the Heavenly Pool, the Evil Sword Immortal wouldn't have grown strong and wreaked havoc on the Six Paths. Mao Mao, He Biping, Long Kui, Jing Tian, ​​and others wouldn't have had to sacrifice themselves.

It's fair to say that because of his one wrong decision, many innocent people died. And yet, not only did he not die, he even attained immortality. This kind of plot is truly disgusting.

……

Even if Xu Changqing was bewitched and couldn't bear to see his master and uncles die tragically, he was still unable to move because he was restrained by Xiang Nan.

A moment later, the black mist was finally purified by the water of Tianchi Pool and vanished without a trace.

Xiang Nanfang then released Xu Changqing.

"You killed my master! You killed my uncle!" Xu Changqing shouted excitedly.

"Shut up! Do you know where this black aura comes from?" Xiang Nan scolded. "Let me tell you, it is actually the embodiment of the evil thoughts of your five masters."

Thirty years ago, in order to fight against the invasion of the demon realm and the evil spirit realm, your five masters did not hesitate to use the forbidden Shu Mountain technique, the Purification Technique, to expel the evil thoughts from their bodies and improve their cultivation.

As a result, although they successfully repelled the demon realm and the evil spirit realm, they were surprised to find that the evil thoughts they expelled were actually growing stronger and becoming another, even greater scourge.

That's why they sealed it away and sent us to the Heavenly Pool to purify it. Otherwise, it would become a scourge to the Six Realms, bringing harm to all living beings.

"And your five masters will become sinners who will never be redeemed," Xiang Nan explained. "So even though they knew that they would still die once the evil thoughts were purified, they still sent us out without hesitation."

Your master and uncles sacrificed their lives to save all sentient beings in the six realms—how noble! How could you listen to the bewitching influence of this evil force and let them fail at the last moment?

Hearing this, Xu Changqing finally realized that he had been bewitched by evil spirits and almost caused a disaster. "I'm sorry, Brother Jing, it was my fault."

"It's not your fault, that black mist was too cunning. Fortunately, it has finally been eliminated." Xiang Nan nodded.
