Chapter 679 The Question of Stillness Reveals a Chaotic Landscape (Part 2)

Wait, I'm a little confused.

Su Che frowned.

Sometimes the laws of heaven and earth are corrupted, and sometimes they are not.

"Senior brother, junior brother doesn't understand."

Su Che said very sincerely.

“Back in the ancient times, the demon god corrupted the laws of nature and practiced the art of refining heaven and earth. The laws of nature at that time were definitely flawed.”

Li Shouchang explained, "But later, when the ancient Heavenly Court was established, the demon gods were sealed away, and the laws were no longer influenced by the demon gods, so things returned to normal."

"Isn't it all better now?"

"The problem lies in the subsequent collapse of the heavens and earth, the destruction of the ancient Heavenly Court, and the root cause of the collapse of heaven and earth lies in the laws. Therefore, if Xuandu Palace wants to restore stability to the earth, water, fire, and wind and maintain the balance of heaven and earth, it needs to find some anchor points."

"Anchor?"

"Those ancient demon gods. So since the Heavenly Court was destroyed, the laws have more or less gone astray."

Su Che understood the gist of it.

According to Li Shouchang, the laws of heaven and earth were initially evil, but with the diligent governance of the Five Emperors, the polluters were finally driven away. However, as problems arose later, these polluters had to be brought out and reused.

However, this kind of exploitation will inevitably affect the normal rules to some extent.

"Nonsense."

Jiang Shoucheng shook his head.

"You are also a Void Stepper, and you have been to the outer void before. Can you sense any differences between this place, inside and out?"

"That's the biggest difference."

Li Shouchang said with great confidence, "Because of you and my cultivation level is too low."

"Ok?"

"Because we only deal with the outer layer of the laws of heaven and earth, and cannot access the most core part. Old Jiang, we should know our own level regarding the Nine Laws of Heaven and Man."

"And there's another possibility."

Li Shouchang said very seriously, "Among the great powers within the sect, not to mention Earth Immortals, even the Grandmasters of Tribulation and the Immortals of Longevity, many of them attained enlightenment during a chaotic period, and their foundations are problematic. If we just cross the void like this, what will happen next? There are countless Endless Lords of the Dharma-Ending Age outside. This is a major problem that shakes the foundation of our plan."

"These are all things that cannot be disproven."

Jiang Shouchang scoffed at Li Shouchang's conspiracy theory: "There must be a gap between the understanding of the Nine Laws of Heaven and Man and their true nature. This is precisely the purpose of cultivation, and it has nothing to do with whether the laws are contaminated."

"What you're saying is just wishful thinking."

Li Shouchang looked at Jiang Shoucheng and shrugged.

"Alright, wait until I achieve immortality, then I'll tell you where you went wrong, kid."

"It's alright. Once I become a master of the art of calamity, I will naturally tell you what is right and wrong."

Su Che looked at his two senior brothers and didn't know what to say for a moment.

If you're going to argue, then argue; if you're going to chat, then chat. Why do you have to start bragging and exaggerating the truth all of a sudden?

"Then you should cultivate to become Earth Immortals as soon as possible and tell me what the result is."

Su Che's joke immediately made the two of them laugh again.

“Junior Brother Su, our chances of becoming Earth Immortals are about the same as your chances of mastering the Six Dragons Returning to the Sun True Technique.”

Li Shouchang said with a grin.

"Sigh, Junior Brother Su still has a chance to master the Six Dragons Returning to the Sun True Technique, but neither of us will ever become Earth Immortals."

Jiang Shoucheng was also amused.

The three of them were laughing and joking, while Lu Chuan remained silent and quietly drank his tea.

Whether it's the sky or the earth, nothing beats tea.

"Whether we live or die, let us enjoy the aroma of tea." After the three brothers laughed and joked for a while, Li Shouchang suddenly asked Su Che.

"Junior Brother Su, aren't you going home to visit your family?"

"go home?"

"Yes."

Li Shouchang looked at Su Che and said, "Isn't your Duling Su family a prominent and wealthy family? You should at least pay your respects to your elders."

"There are no elders. The Su family of Duling may be powerful, but they only have one uncle and two brothers."

Su Che shook his head.

“My family was originally from the military. Back then, when we all followed the army on the Northern Expedition, we suffered a great defeat at Fangtou, which devastated our strength. Not only did all the pillars of our family die in the battle, but the survivors were also convicted, exiled, and imprisoned. We were almost completely wiped out.”

"If it weren't for my great-uncle who fought for us despite his own criminal record, I don't know which prison he would be rotting in now. How would I have the chance to be a traitor here?"

The two men burst into laughter at Su Che's words about being a traitorous minister.

Li Shouchang and Jiang Shoucheng had both spent some time in the lower realm, so they naturally knew what the Great Liang was like now.

Su San Gongzi, this traitorous official, is not wronged at all.

"So, Uncle Wei did make a mistake by taking you under his wing. Doesn't that just make your Su family even weaker?"

To the dynasties of the Central Plains, Huang Tiandao was an outsider.

Just like Su Che and Wushi City, even if they occasionally get involved, they will eventually never see each other again.

Su Che will eventually return to the Yellow Heaven, either to the East Sea to ask for swordsmanship or to the Northern Wilderness to slay demons; he cannot stay in the Central Plains for too long.

This principle is self-evident.

"Sigh, I've already done my part in relieving my great-uncle's burden."

"Da Liang is having a tough time these days."

Jiang Shoucheng sighed softly, "You have no idea how chaotic the Blood River Realm is right now."

With the opening of the Blood River Realm, the ancient immortal abode was revealed. Xuandu Palace called upon all parties to contribute their efforts to enter and seal it, which also involved the legendary ancient underworld.

Such news naturally attracted the covetous eyes of various forces, but the majority of them were wandering cultivators who were unwilling to be left out and were looking for a chance to become immortals.

A mighty and unstoppable force, like a swarm of fish crossing a river.

With so many independent cultivators flooding in, the Liang Dynasty naturally faced considerable pressure.

There are those who stand up for justice and punish evil on the road, but on the ground, they become murder cases that the government can't handle.

There are heinous crimes that disregard human life and are so serious that even if they were on the ground, they would be impossible to control.

Some recruit disciples, some establish their own sects, some swindle and deceive, and some dig up graves everywhere...

People can be all sorts of strange and wonderful, let alone cultivators with magical powers.
The area around the Blood River Boundary is now in complete chaos.

Of course, Grand Tutor Yuwen's friendly assistance was also indispensable.

According to Li Shouchang, shortly before Su Che returned, the Grand Tutor of Northern Wei had gathered a group of rogue cultivators from who-knows-where, who came from the north under the banner of "offering sacrifices to the Great Wei royal family and joining forces to overcome the great calamity of heaven and earth."

Before they had even crossed the border trenches, Wei Huaiwen launched a powerful attack, killing them all without leaving a trace.

In response, Grand Tutor Yuwen also told his fellow practitioners that the Great Liang side regarded the great calamity of heaven and earth as a resource to be seized by themselves, acting selfishly and treating the world as their own property.

He also had his scribes write numerous proclamations, vehemently criticizing the island barbarians of the Southern Dynasty.

Wei Huaiwen ignored this completely and sent men north secretly to burn down several military camps of the Northern Dynasty.

Although Su Che anticipated that the peace between the two sides would not last long.

A gentleman's agreement is meant to be made between the virtuous and the petty.

But I didn't expect the villain to arrive so quickly.
