this infinite world

——Luo Yinglong’s last memory in the Shushan plane was a sword light that was a mixture of blue and purple, slashing towards him with endless destructive intent.

The immortal swung his sword with power everywhere, and his sword light swept across the eight directions, splitting the universe, severing the boundary between heaven and earth, and the universe trembled. Although Luo Yinglong had almost reached the limit of the fourth level when fighting Zheng Zha, and had made further progress after his resurrection, he still had a big gap compared to the existences of Yang Yun and Zheng Zha.

In addition, Luo Yinglong had never expected his master to be so ruthless. He was caught off guard and had no way to avoid it. He was directly engulfed by the sword light of the purple and green swords. Not only was his body completely destroyed, but his soul, spirit, and even the more invisible cause and effect were all shattered in an instant, as if they were completely wiped out by this world, without even a trace left...

"……what?"

But when Luo Yinglong came to his senses, he found himself holding the Fuxi Sword and once again standing in the main square of the Zhongzhou team, as if everything that had just happened was just a nightmare...

"No, it's not an illusion!"

Luo Yinglong blinked his eyes. He didn't care about the sword light that still left some traces in his mind, nor did he care about the puzzled expressions of the other members of the Zhongzhou team. He closed his eyes again and contacted the main god, wanting to return to the Shushan plane to find his master and ask him clearly.

But when Luo Yinglong just opened the option to return to the previous world, he was shocked to find that... the option to return to the Shushan plane was gone!

"No? How could there be no?" Luo Yinglong was as if he had been hit on the head with a club, and even cried out in a panic. When he checked his belongings, he found that everything else and the Taiqing Jade Slip were intact on him, except for the Fuxi Sword that he had given to his junior sister. The ancient sword could not stop emitting purple and green sword light, and the innate energy was even thicker, as if it had been strengthened...

"master……"

Seeing this, how could Luo Yinglong not know that this was his master deliberately infusing the aura of the Purple and Green Swords into them? Thinking of this, he quickly grasped the hilt of the sword, wondering if his master had anything else to say... and the next moment, a sword intent surged out of the Fuxi Sword, and Baimei's last thought for his disciple also came to his mind at the same moment.

"Be careful of the Heavenly Court."

Be careful of the Heavenly Palace? Why did you suddenly bring this up? What does this have to do with the skills I took back?
These four simple words were like a bucket of cold water that chilled Luo Yinglong to the bone, leaving him standing there in a daze. At the same time, his mind was filled with random thoughts, and his whole body of true energy was surging, rushing through his body...

"Calm down, Luo Yinglong."

Just when the young man was confused, Yang Yun, with a serious expression, pressed his shoulder and injected a stream of spiritual power to adjust the increasingly chaotic aura on his body, and asked, "What happened?"

……

"Did your master really say that?"

It only took Yang Yun a wave of his hand to heal Luo Yinglong's injuries, but a heart disease needs a heart medicine. The blow of Luo Yinglong being expelled from the sect was a huge blow to this young man who seemed careless and foolish on weekdays. His spirit was depressed, and he seemed to have lost his former vitality and brilliance. His reaction to the outside world was even slower... In response to Yang Yun's question, he stared at the void in front of him for a few seconds before answering with a "hmm".

"That shouldn't be the case. Why would Luo Yinglong's master tell him to be careful of the Heavenly Palace now?"

Even Zheng Zha could see the problem with Baimei's confusing behavior: "According to Feimian, Honghuang Heaven has been spying on the main god space for a long time, and is determined to capture the members of the Samsara team... If they find any lone members of the Samsara team, they would have set up a dragnet to hunt them down."

——Indeed, if the Shushan plane is related to the Honghuang Heavenly Court, then when the Demon Team and the God Team are fighting in this plane, it will attract the attention of the other side; and later Luo Yinglong took the initiative to come and become a disciple, which is tantamount to a sheep walking into the tiger's mouth.

Yang Yun stroked his knuckles, thinking about the deeper meaning behind Bai Mei's behavior.

Although from the last sentence, Baimei was worried that Luo Yinglong would attract the pursuit of the heaven, so he took the initiative to sever the cause and effect. However, since this immortal in Shushan could withstand the pressure of both the positive and negative forces in the original world line, and also proposed to sever the cause and effect between Luo Yinglong and the outside world, and truly take root in this world, it is enough to show that Baimei is not a coward.

In other words, if Baimei was really afraid of trouble, he would not have accepted this troublesome disciple from the beginning.

“Isn’t it related to what we did before?”

While Yang Yun was thinking, Luo Gandao seemed to realize something and came to a new conclusion: "Perhaps it is because we were directly hostile to the Primordial Heaven in the Pacific Rim world and even captured an immortal, which is why we were noticed by the Heaven and implicated Luo Yinglong and his master."

"Isn't there a plot like this in Water Margin? Secretly colluding with bandits and such, the wise Wu Yong used this behavior more than once to lure the heroes of Liangshan to the mountain..."

"No, this cannot explain the other party's reaction, nor the problem with the technique."

Qi Tengyixiao shook his head and denied Luo Gandao's idea: "If Luo Yinglong's description is correct, then everything was peaceful at the beginning. The problem lies in the book "Taiqing Basic Cultivation Method". It was this method that caused the other party's mood to change... But, it shouldn't be like this?"

"If it was a cultivation technique that would attract the Primordial Heaven, then our Zhongzhou team would have been targeted a long time ago... Besides, I am also concerned about the term 'outsider'."

As the member of the Zhongzhou team who has studied the most profound cultivation techniques, Qi Teng had read the jade slip over and over again early in the morning, and was puzzled by Bai Mei's reaction: "We have been practicing these moderate and peaceful cultivation techniques that are as orthodox as can be. There is nothing wrong with them. How could they be some unorthodox ones?"

"But Luo Yinglong's master is a genuine immortal, and our skills can only be cultivated to the level of the Golden Core Stage..."

Seeing Qi Tengyi's puzzled look, Cheng Xiao raised a different opinion: "Could it be that there is a hidden mine behind? Is it because we are not well-educated and failed to see the problem?"

"Impossible." Yang Yun shook his head and denied it. He still remembered everything he saw in Longomyniad clearly. It was impossible for this technique to have any problems... You know, these cultivation methods came from top masters such as the Twin Emperors and the Three Pure Ones. In a sense, these were authoritative first-hand cultivation methods. How could there be so-called "hidden mines"?
"That's strange. Logically speaking, we haven't noticed any problems since we've been practicing for so long, which means there are no problems at least until the Golden Core Stage. If there were any problems, we should have noticed them... In that case, Luo Yinglong's master, as an immortal, shouldn't have said such unprofessional words, right?"

Qi Tengyi also held the same view. Compared with Luo Yinglong, who had just joined the Zhongzhou team, and Baimei, who had no idea what he was thinking, he believed more in Yang Yun's words and his own long-term judgment.

The young man scratched his head fiercely, and it seemed that this matter made him very distressed. "Could it be a problem with the origin of the technique? But that shouldn't be the case. Both Sima Chenfeng and Feimian have no doubts about the origin of this technique. That guy even said that we practice the same 'Jade Purity Basic Cultivation Method', so this technique is not a rare thing even in the prehistoric continent, and there shouldn't be any problem... There is no reason why 'Jade Purity' is OK but 'Tai Qing' is not."

"Wait."

Listening to Qi Tengyi's words, Zheng Zha suddenly had an idea: "There is no problem for the members of the Samsara team to learn the cultivation techniques from Baimei, and there is no problem with our cultivation techniques. Then, will there be a problem when the two are put together? Just like bleach and toilet cleaner will become toxic if they are accidentally mixed..."

——It seems that there is some truth to it.

Yang Yun listened to Zheng Zha's words quietly, and then nodded slightly, showing his approval of what he said. Although Zheng Zha was not a strategist, his words at this moment inadvertently lit up a light of thinking, providing everyone with a new perspective and inspiration.

Perhaps, this is what “a fool may make many mistakes, but he will eventually gain some insights”... Sometimes it is these unintentional insights and intuitions that can provide people with a clear path out of difficult situations. Even Zheng Zha, whose IQ is gradually deteriorating and who begins to change into the person who believes “fists can solve everything,” can sometimes offer constructive suggestions.

"You see, although Luo Yinglong's master denounced the cultivation method in the jade slip as 'heterodox', he did not choose to destroy the jade slip. Instead, he kept it well."

Seeing that no one objected, Zheng Zha became more and more excited. He pointed at the jade slip of cultivation in Luo Yinglong's hand and said confidently.

For a long time, Zheng Zha has been playing a role similar to that of a thug. It has been a long time since he has experienced such a wise man talking freely. This behavior makes him feel satisfied on another level: "If he really means what he says, then even for the sake of Luo Yinglong's future, he will destroy the jade slip to show his attitude and not let him continue to practice this technique!"

"Could it be that the problem lies with my identity as the heir of Mount Shu?"

Qi Teng scratched his head, not caring about the falling hair, and said in distress: "The descendants of Shushan cannot learn this Taiqing technique. Once they learn it, they will be discovered by the great powers in the Heavenly Court. Even the White Eyebrow Immortal can't hide this cause and effect?"

"That's unlikely. It sounds like the Shushan heir has been bewitched."

Cheng Xiao complained: "Cultivation techniques are not rogue software. Although a whole family of programs was installed when I downloaded a porn movie before, and it even automatically deleted all the programs on my computer, cultivators shouldn't be that low..."

"... Let's talk business, don't change the subject."

Yang Yun put his hand on his forehead and looked at Chu Xuan who had been silent since the discussion began, like a clay sculpture or wooden sculpture, and said: "By the way, Chu Xuan, don't you want to say a few words?"

"Insufficient information, unable to infer, nothing to say. Since things have developed to the point where an immortal-level being is willing to resort to such a self-torture trick to sever the cause and effect between himself and Luo Yinglong, and even erase his way to completely return to the Shushan plane, it means there must be a big secret."

Facing the direct call from the captain, Chu Xuan first glanced at Yang Yun, then looked away and replied in a cold voice: "Whatever the secret is, it is not something we can touch now."

"... That being said, there are always things we can do now."

Although Chu Xuan's words made people uncomfortable, Zheng Zha was not discouraged. He crossed his arms, thought for a moment and said, "If we keep it in the dark and don't investigate, not only Luo Yinglong, but we will also feel uncomfortable."

"But the more you know, the more mistakes you make..."

"Start from two aspects and conduct comparative experiments. This is the most effective method."

Seeing that Zheng Zha and Chu Xuan were arguing with each other and it seemed that a serious argument was about to develop, Yang Yun interrupted them and made the final decision as the captain: "Although we don't have a comparative version of the Taiqing Kung Fu, we do have a 'living dictionary'."

"Yeah, and this one too!"

Hearing this, Qi Teng's eyes lit up immediately, and he looked at the Conferred God List in Chu Xuan's hand: "Feimian is also a disciple of Yuqing. He naturally has the Yuqing Basic Cultivation Method practiced by the cultivators of Honghuang Heaven in his memory. As long as the original version of this method is extracted and compared with the version I practice, the difference will naturally be seen..."

"Yes, that's it. So Chu Xuan, I'll trouble you to speed up the refining of the non-face during this period of time. The sooner we complete this task, perhaps we can solve the mystery sooner."

Seeing that everyone in the Zhongzhou team had no objection, Yang Yun made a summary: "At the same time, everyone should review their own skills from the beginning to see if there are any problems or something wrong... As for the rest, we will talk about it after we finish the Watcher world."

In any case, the Watchers and Dr. Manhattan, who is very likely to become an enemy, are the top priorities facing the Zhongzhou team. Even Luo Yinglong, who is involved in the matter, recognizes this.

So, the matter came to an end for the time being. The rest of the people returned to their exercises or went back to their rooms. For the time being, Yang Yun stared at Chu Xuan's expressionless face, but he was thinking about one thing in his heart...

——Chu Xuan, it’s okay for others, but you who control the Investiture of the Gods...

——Really, you don't know the truth behind this, and you can't even feel curious? (End of this chapter)
