I have Taoism and can understand other worlds

Chapter 604 Heart to Heart
Liang Yuan did not accept Jiang Wen's invitation, perhaps because she still had some concerns. However, compared to the past few days, their relationship had become much more harmonious during this time together.

"What should we do with this child?" Liang Yuan asked, looking at the child lying on the stone bed with a hint of worry. In this Land of Fallen Immortals, even protecting oneself is difficult, let alone having a child with one. If they were to abandon the child, why bother rescuing her from the dragon-people?

"Let's wait and see. Is there really no room for a child in this vast world?" Jiang Wen sighed.

He gazed at the dragon-human child on the stone bed, then flicked his sleeve. A cleansing spell washed away the filth from the child, revealing his tender and frail face. He then took out a healing pill from his storage bag and fed it to the child.

After the child swallowed, he changed the child's tattered clothes.

"I never expected it to be a little dragon girl." Jiang Wen couldn't help but feel helpless when he saw the child's true appearance. All the children he had taken in along the way were girls.

"This child is so thin and weak; he must have suffered a lot," Liang Yuan said with a touch of heartache, stroking the child's bony body. After all, she had experienced hardship herself and knew what suffering was like.

"Most people in this world suffer like this; she was lucky to have met me," Jiang Wen sighed. He had been in this world for many years and had long witnessed its hardships and torments. Demons roamed freely, immortals did not venture out, the people suffered greatly, and countless lives were lost.

The three northern states had long since become a living hell. The number of the dead was countless, numbering in the hundreds of millions.

"Are you aware of the disasters that have befallen the three prefectures of Ming, Tai, and Cang?" Jiang Wen asked.

"I understand," Liang Yuan replied.

"Is this related to the worship of gods?"

"It doesn't matter much."

"During the worship ceremony, the thirteen venerable ones each performed their own duties. Do you know anything about them?"

“I am only in charge of the rewards and punishments of the Worshipping God Society. Zunlong will not tell us everything. Although there are political discussions where we can talk about various matters, that is only limited to Zunlong.” Liang Yuan shook his head and told Jiang Wen about his experiences in the Worshipping God Society.

There are thirteen venerable ones in the worship ceremony, each with their own duties.

Many secret actions are not disclosed to the Venerable Ones, but are kept secret from the Venerable One.

Although Liang Yuan was the envoy of rewards and punishments, she rarely interfered in the affairs of other Venerables. She knew nothing about even the matter of scattering divine water, let alone the secrets that occurred beneath Mount Buzhou.

Upon hearing this, Jiang pondered for a moment and then shared some of his experiences with her.

When Liang Yuan heard that the suffering experienced by the northern states was closely related to the worship of gods, he fell silent.

“Bones are piled high, flesh is piled up like mountains. Skin is dust, blood is like grass. What they have done has angered both heaven and man.” Jiang Wen said calmly. “Now you understand why I hate the God Worship Society so much.”

“…I never expected these things to happen.” Liang Yuan closed her eyes.

"You don't know about what happened in Yangzhou and Suzhou that day?" Jiang Wen asked curiously.

At that time, Su Cheng, in order to deal with the demon Chi Yao, even went to look for Liang Yuan, but failed to find out any news about her, so he gave up.

However, the battle at Huanlefang was too rushed, and I never thought we would meet again. Several years have passed since then, and I never expected to see you here again.

“Su City belongs to Mei She, and I have no intention of interfering. Although the thirteen Venerables are all Venerables of the God Worship Association, it is rare for other Venerables to interfere in the territory of another Venerable. Unless necessary, I will not interfere in the affairs of Mei She,” Liang Yuan replied.

"What did Su Pingsheng of the Righteous God Path ask you to infiltrate the Worshiping God Society for?" Jiang Wen asked again.

"He asked me to give some things to John Lone and, incidentally, to keep an eye on John Lone's actions."

"Could those things be the secret manuals of the true gods?"

"You know too?" Liang Yuan looked at Jiang Wen with some surprise. She didn't expect the other party to know so much. "Since you already know, why ask me again?"

“These are all just guesses, and the reason I know these things is because the disasters that those three states experienced are inextricably linked to the secret methods of the Righteous God Path,” Jiang Wen said. “The filthy pigs and yin sheep of the God Worship Society died under the secret methods of the Righteous God Path.”

"So they're dead." Liang Yuan suddenly realized, as if he had figured something out. "Zunlong knew about the incident at Buzhou Mountain. He told me about the filthy pig and the yin sheep. I thought the two of them had fled because their mission failed, but I didn't expect them to be dead."

"They attempted to recreate the Creation God, but were devoured and killed by him. For causing such a catastrophic disaster, their deaths were well-deserved," Jiang Wen said irritably. He knew exactly what these Four Heavenly Venerables of the Righteous God Path were; each of them was a calamity-bringing evil god.

In its heyday, Taicang was a powerful and well-equipped army, with countless sages in its Daoist palaces. It swept across the six directions and conquered the eight wastelands, with none daring to disobey it. However, Jiang Wenji invoked the Heavenly Emperor of Rewards and Punishments, bringing down the once glorious Taicang.

This Creation God is on par with the Heavenly Emperor of Rewards and Punishments; who knows what kind of being He truly is?

Jiang Wen felt it would be a pity not to have pulverized their bones and scattered their souls, or to have them never reincarnated. He felt that the worship of the gods had led to such a disaster.

"The Creation God is one of the Four Heavenly Venerables of the Righteous God Path, and the Righteous God Path must have a corresponding method. Such a secret technique can only be known by the direct disciples of the Righteous God Path, and is difficult for others to access. The Worshiping Gods Society could only have such a secret technique in two ways. One is to obtain it from a traitor, and the other is that it was personally delivered by someone from the Righteous God Path. I killed the Blood Demon Ancestor, the traitor of the Righteous God Path, and he did not possess such a secret technique. You have a relationship with Su Pingsheng, so I guess you gave it to the Worshiping Gods Society."

After Jiang Wen finished speaking, he glanced at Liang Yuan. The woman's expression was somber, as if she felt guilty. He knew this woman was proud and had always wanted to inherit the noble character of the Langhuan Academy. But she was unaware of the harm her actions had caused to the common people and the immense trouble they had created.

“I… I didn’t want to see such a disaster happen.” Liang Yuan smiled bitterly. “Su Pingsheng told me that everything he did was for the sake of the people. Now the tyrannical ruler is tyrannical and commits atrocities throughout the land. The people are full of grievances and suffering. The righteous gods want to cleanse the court of corrupt officials, bring peace to the world, and create a new world. At that time, all the immortal sects will be bound and will no longer bring disaster to the world.”

He sighed deeply as he spoke.

“I have been studying the Righteousness Technique since childhood, and I have always admired the noble character of sages. I always thought that all cultivators in the world should be like that, and that all the sects of immortals should be for the sake of the common people. But the more I have seen, the more my thoughts have changed. I never thought that my actions would cause such a disaster. It is my fault, it is my fault.”

Liang Yuan murmured, his eyes filled with bitterness. His cultivation, which should have reached the Dao Palace realm, was now teetering on the brink of collapse.

This is a manifestation of an unstable Daoist mind, a sign that inner demons are beginning to emerge.

Upon seeing this, Jiang thought to himself, "Oh no!" He had only intended to persuade the woman to turn back from the wrong path, but he hadn't expected to nearly break her resolve. This was not what he had planned, and he couldn't allow her to fall into demonic ways here.

He immediately pointed a finger at Liang Yuan's forehead, and his eyes shone with golden light.

He struck him like a blow to the head, shouting, "Wake up! Don't fall into a state of confusion!"
