She is Jianxiu

Chapter 1369: A Strange Person

She didn't want to rush there, but Feng Shi didn't see her. He just said a few old-fashioned words of advice through the boy's mouth. Zhao Yu thought about it, and then she agreed frankly. She turned her steps and moved to the Zhenyang Cave Heaven.

Inside the cave, Hai Qing had been waiting for Zhao Yu to come over. He asked her to sit down beside him first, and then asked about the Daotu.

Zhao Yu naturally did not hide anything and frankly told Hai Qing about his own understanding of the Yin-Yang Dao. Hai Qing was delighted and nodded with satisfaction, saying, "Yes, my disciple should be like this!" After laughing, he pondered and said, "Now that you have taken this step, your achievements in the future may surpass my master. You know that Huanyuan is indeed a disaster, but for you, it may not be a bad opportunity."

Zhao Yu also sat upright. He counted on his fingers on the way here and realized that it had been exactly 120 years since he went into seclusion. He still didn't know what the situation was in the outside world. But after hearing what Hai Qing said, he was afraid that Emperor Huanyuan had already made some moves, so he asked, "I have been in seclusion for many years and I don't know what the situation is outside. I hope Master can talk to me so that I can make plans early."

"That's exactly what I meant." Hai Qing waved her hand, and a detailed map of the world appeared before their eyes. She put two fingers together and drew a few strokes on it. Wherever she passed, narrow cracks appeared, like a torn silk, from top to bottom, from the sky to the ground. "Yuan'er, look at these cracks."

Zhao Yu turned his gaze, looking at the map while listening to Hai Qing's account of what had happened over the past hundred years.

The first thing to talk about is the cracks distributed in all directions of this great world. A hundred years ago, the Taiyuan sects were still engaged in the elimination of the ghost realm monks, and the powerful monks of the ten sects of the righteous path had to shift their energy to coordinate and arrange the creatures of the small and medium worlds. Therefore, the acquired gods that originally existed in the world were all handed over to the Taiyuan Taoist sect for disposal.

After Huanyuan showed up, many people in this sect wanted to stand out and take on the throne, just waiting for the leader to become Zhaoyan's disciple. Shi Rucheng knew that he could not wait any longer and had to take out the Book of Life and Death Merits and suppress Zhaoyan first to stop this sect from becoming powerful again.

This item was originally in the hands of Zhao Yan. During the great catastrophes of the past dynasties, it was all thanks to this mysterious item that the merits were rewarded. All the large and small sects were willing to temporarily submit and listen to Zhao Yan's arrangements and dispatches. Therefore, most of the cultivators from various sects had already heard about the origin and details of this item. Now that they saw Shi Rucheng take out this item, they couldn't help but become suspicious, wondering how this item had fallen into Tai Yuan's hands.

The chest of the person who was quick-witted began to beat continuously. He thought that since these important items had fallen into the hands of Taiyuan, the famous and upright sects above must have changed. Moreover, after the natural disaster, it was the time to eliminate all the old things and give new forces an opportunity to emerge. Since Taiyuan Dao Sect had mastered this list of merits, it would definitely support its own forces to come to power and share the pie in the future - there was no need to worry about not having a good opportunity for them to come forward!

Therefore, after that, Taiyuan quickly won over a number of northern sects, half of which were exploited by the six clans, and the other half was taken by the sect leaders. He ate them all to his heart's content and had little energy to devote to the acquired gods scattered everywhere.

They had no choice but to let the disciples suppress and imprison them. They thought that these little gods who had lost their divine power could not cause any trouble.

What happened next was naturally what Zhao Yu had expected. Although these small mountain gods could not compete with the Xuanmen monks, they had been bullied by the human Taoists for a long time and had been holding back their anger. Now that they knew that Huanyuan had descended and the God's Court could be restored, how could they not turn against the foreign enemy and cooperate with the enemy from both inside and outside? As soon as the opportunity came, they would decisively destroy the god's throne and tear a crack in the boundary wall for Huanyuan.

If you say that this was Taiyuan's negligence, it is not actually the case.

Hai Qing said that the method of conferring gods in the Divine Court was indeed mysterious. Anyone who was conferred a divine position, no matter whether you were a human, a demon, or a spirit born from the spirits of heaven and earth, could ascend to heaven in broad daylight as long as they got a scroll of imperial edict, shed their mortal bodies, and from then on enjoy incense and worship, and call the wind and rain in a certain area, being omnipotent. However, after that, the gods of a certain area could no longer leave their posts without permission, because once they left the area under their jurisdiction, most of their abilities would be unusable.

Patriarch Zhao Yan once tried to get to the bottom of it and guessed that these conferred gods had long been firmly tied to the territories under their jurisdiction. If they were to be completely eliminated, the mountains, rivers, secular towns, etc. would have to be destroyed together with them.

In this way, the other party's position of god can be eliminated. However, the mountains and rivers can be changed easily, but the secular towns are not easy to deal with. If one is not careful, thousands or even hundreds of thousands of lives will be lost. Zhao Yan cannot act rashly. The Taiyuan Taoist sect, which has not yet established its prestige, cannot use thundering means to act.

Therefore, imprisoning and keeping all these acquired gods is the most appropriate approach at present.

Huanyuan's choice to start from here may not be the result of careful consideration.

In other words, even if it wasn't Tai Yuan, and if this matter was pushed to other sects, the result today would probably be the same.

But no matter what, this matter was ultimately a mistake made by Taiyuan. If there are any more disturbances caused by this in the future, this faction cannot escape the blame.

"The cracks in the mountains, rivers, lakes and seas are not so bad. Even if there are a few weak sects there, the disaster they cause is far less than the cracks in the secular cities. These things come suddenly, and ordinary cultivators can't get close to them at all, otherwise they will be swept out of the world by the turbulent flow and will inevitably die. Therefore, even if we do our best to rescue them, the casualties in various places cannot be underestimated. I think some people in the sects under my command are also panicking."

What Hai Qing said was also reasonable. If you look closely at the distribution of the cracks on the map, you can find that most of the cracks are in the south. The closer to the famous sects, such as the ten sects of the righteous way, the less likely it is that such anomalies will appear. After all, how can you let others sleep soundly on your bed? The more powerful Taoist sects all hold the earth talismans that govern the land. The gods of the mountains and rivers in the territory have been cleared out long ago, so there is no way to leave trouble.

A force with weak strength and shallow foundation is unable to rebuild the mountains and rivers of an area and can only lie down with the small gods.

From Xuanhe to the south, there are many small sects like this, and they are the most affected.

However, what Zhao Yu saw was that the largest crack was actually above the Xuanhe River.

After thinking for a moment, she suddenly realized.

Because the greatest mountain and river god in this world is the river god of the Xuanhe River, right?

Hai Qing also said: "Do you remember the half of the ancient banyan tree that was taken away by Huanyuan? Now he has used this thing to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. I don't know what he has bred. Although we dare not rashly enter the north, there are many of those things walking in the south. And because their physical features are no different from our human race, in order to distinguish you from me, we call them 'aliens'."
