Conferred God: Got cramped at the beginning

Chapter 828: Swallowing Clouds Leaving the North Sea, Kunpeng Returning to the North Sea

Xuanchen is the name of the fourth generation Taoist master of Lingjing Taoist Sect.

The current Taoist master of the spiritual realm is already the fifteenth generation - the fourth generation of Taoist masters, which was eighty-three thousand years ago.

In other words, this giant monster that stepped in from the depths of the North Sea was a powerful creature from 83,000 years ago.

Over eighty thousand years, even Taiyi's memory has become blurred.

Therefore, even with time as an anchor, it took the Taoist master of Lingjing half an incense stick of time to recall before he found the record about this giant monster in his memory.

That was a classic from eighty thousand years ago. At that time, although the Thirteen Taoist Sects were the only thirteen remaining Taoist sects in the North Sea, their laws and regulations in the North Sea were not yet stable.

It was at that time that a giant monster emerged from the human world and fought with humans all the way to the North Sea, where a melee broke out near the North Sea.

The commotion of that battle could definitely be described as earth-shattering - seven top-notch Taiyi besieged the giant monster in the North Sea, but were all defeated by the monster.

Among the seven top Taiyi, three can be traced back to be disciples of Daluo, holding the name of Daluo and walking between heaven and earth.

In addition to these seven supreme gods, there are also many gods in heaven who beat the war drums in the clouds and call forth thunder to assist them.

But even so, they still did not block the giant monster's way to the north.

The giant monster fought more and more frantically, and its final blow was so strong that it almost overturned the North Sea, and it wanted to crush all the countless creatures in the North Sea together.

It was at that time that the fourth generation leader of the Lingjing Taoist Sect used the Lingjing method to reverse the truth and illusion, and with the help of the laws of the other twelve Taoist sects, he took the blow at the cost of serious injuries himself, thus ensuring that the area near the North Sea was safe and sound.

——Before this, the method of Lingjing Dao was not actually Lingjing Dao, but the method of Lingjing. It was a method that tried to communicate the real and the illusion and evolve the cave heaven.

Then, the giant monster's attack forcibly changed the path of the spiritual realm from the path of the spiritual realm to the path of the spiritual mirror.

Although the fourth generation Taoist master of Lingjing Taoist Sect only took action once from the beginning to the end of that battle, and he was on the defensive and even his Taoist inheritance method was deflected - but even so, it was his proudest record.

Similarly, it was also because of that battle that the powerful people near the North Sea tacitly accepted the Thirteen Dao Sect's "rule" over the area near the North Sea, and tacitly accepted the spread and expansion of the Thirteen Dao Sect's laws in the area near the North Sea.

And now, this person, with his own strength, can cause the demonic energy to spread and attack the North Sea. His aura is comparable to that of dozens of Taiyi giant monsters joining forces. At the same time, he can converge all the demonic energy in a single thought - Taoist Master Lingjing can only think of this one giant monster!
"Is it the Great Sage Tunyun?" Taoist Master Lingjing took a deep breath.

"Lingjing Dao Zong, do you still remember my name?" The giant monster, who had transformed into a human form and had a kind attitude, smiled slightly, looking quite surprised.

"It's indeed him!" Hearing this response, Taoist Master Lingjing's heart trembled. The blow from 83,000 years ago seemed to have come to his Lingjing heart again after an infinite number of years, creating a crack in the Lingjing in his heart.

"Didn't this person die with serious injuries?" Taoist Master Lingjing suppressed the shock in his heart.

In that initial battle, this man was certainly extremely ferocious, but when he left the North Sea, he was also seriously injured.

Afterwards, the thirteen sects also sent people to dive into the depths of the North Sea, hoping to look for the trace of the Swallowing Cloud Great Sage - but after thousands of years of searching, no trace of him was found.

Therefore, whether it was the Thirteen Dao Sects or the few top Taiyi who had fought him to death and were still alive, they all believed that the seriously injured Great Sage Tunyun had fallen in the depths of the North Sea and was eaten by other great saints of the demon clan in the depths of the North Sea - after all, the attacks between those giant monsters in the depths of the North Sea were equally brutal.

The closer to the North Sea, the more intense the fight between the giant monsters becomes - most of the giant monsters that come from the North Sea and fight with the Thirteen Dao Sects are actually losers who have no place to stay because of their failure in the fight deep in the North Sea.

Therefore, there was no news of the Great Sage Tunyun for thousands of years, and everyone believed that he had been seriously injured and died in the depths of the North Sea.

But who would have thought that after 83,000 years, this great demon sage who had fallen in everyone's eyes would appear again in front of everyone - and the attitude he displayed and his control over power were even more powerful and difficult to guess than what was recorded in the records.

"Why did the Great Sage not go to the North Sea, but come to the North Sea instead?"

Taoist Master Lingjing sent a message for help to the other twelve Taoist masters and Ao Bing without hesitation.

"I just heard that the Great Lord of Justice from the Heavenly Court has stationed himself in the North Sea, blocking the demons' way in and out, making it impossible for the demons in the North Sea to leave or return. So, on behalf of the demons in the North Sea, I came to talk to the Great Lord of Justice. I want to see how he views the demons in the North Sea and whether he can leave a passage for us near the North Sea."

As the Great Sage Tunyun spoke, he glanced towards the Heavenly Palace.

He knew that there must be a Daluo in the Heavenly Court who had already set his sights on this place - after all, 83,000 years ago, he fought his way back to the North Sea from the human world, and along the way, he killed eight top Taiyi.

And these top Taiyi all came from different Daluo disciples. At the moment when he returned to the North Sea, if Kunpeng had not come to plead for him, Daluo would have taken action and killed him directly near the North Sea.

Therefore, it would be fine if he stayed in the depths of the North Sea without moving, but once he stepped out of the North Sea, there would definitely be a Daluo who would bestow magical treasures on his disciples and order his disciples to come to him to settle the grudge - and this was exactly what he wanted.

This is because when those Daluo are alarmed, Kunpeng will also be alarmed.

As long as Kunpeng knew that he had stepped out of the depths of the North Sea, he would definitely know that some drastic changes had occurred in the North Sea - the reason was also very simple.

The Great Sage Tunyun, on the surface, is just a top-notch Taiyi from the demon race.

But in fact, he is the incarnation of a returning demon!

The reason why the other Daluo did not notice this was because after the Great Sage Tunyun was rescued from time and space by Kunpeng, he never sensed or touched his former Dao Fruit, let alone tried to get that Dao Fruit back.

This is something that no Daluo has ever thought of, and therefore, no Daluo realizes that the essence of the Great Sage Tunyun is also a Daluo.

Therefore, as long as the Great Sage Tunyun stepped out of the depths of the North Sea, he would be able to complete the transmission of the message.

"This bastard!" Just as the Great Sage Tunyun had expected - he had just revealed his form near the North Sea. In the Lingxiao Palace of Heaven, Kunpeng's gaze had already darkened, and even his attention had shifted away from the Heavenly Rules.

"Fellow Daoist Kunpeng, the 150,000-year period has not yet arrived, and Tunyun has already stepped out of the ban."

A Daluo sneered, took out a command flag, and threw it to the human world in front of everyone.

Looking at the command flag thrown down from heaven, Kunpeng also sighed heavily.

Although he knew that there must be a reason why Great Sage Tunyun left the North Sea, he never revealed the slightest sign of it.

"It's been 80,000 years, and you still can't let it go, fellow Daoist?"

"Have you, Kunpeng, let go of the matter of the demon clan?" The Daluo stood up.

——This grudge also arose from a dispute 83,000 years ago.

That was not because of those top-notch Taiyi who were beaten to death.

Ronaldinho is not someone who can't afford to lose.

——If those top-notch Taiyi were beaten to death back then, these Daluo would have held their breath and wanted to vent.

But after more than 80,000 years, that breath had long since dissipated with time.

The real problem here is just one thing - that is, the Daluo who stood up at this moment.

This Daluo was named Taoist Duzhen.

One of his good friends died unexpectedly, and before his death, that friend entrusted his only son Linshu to Taoist Duzhen.

After Taoist Duzhen achieved Daluo, the first thing he did was to use the power of Daluo to transform Taoist Linshu into Taiyi so that he could enjoy an immortal life. He also personally protected Taoist Linshu from many killings afterwards so that he would not be harmed by the disaster.

And the Taoist Linshu, who was entrusted and protected, never became arrogant because of Daluo's protection. Instead, he made good connections and accumulated blessings between heaven and earth.

The Great Sage Tunyun was fighting with someone in the mortal world, and his enemy was injured, so he went to the Taoist Linshu to seek medical treatment. As a result, the Great Sage Tunyun came to his door and beat the Taoist Linshu to death.

After that, it was those top-notch Taiyi who took action because of the death of Linshu Taoist. They fought with the Great Sage Tunyun all the way to the North Sea. During this process, several of them were killed by the Great Sage Tunyun, but that is another story.

The deaths of those top-notch Taiyis were fine - but as for the death of Linshu Taoist, it could be said that even Kunpeng, as a bystander, felt guilty.

But no matter what, the Great Sage Tunyun was dragged back from time and space by Kunpeng himself - so Kunpeng had no choice but to go to the door in person to apologize, and at the same time made an agreement with Taoist Duzhen to suppress and imprison the Great Sage Tunyun for 150,000 years as an explanation.

Thus, this matter came to an end.

But now, only 80,000 years had passed since the agreed 150,000-year period, and the Great Sage Swallowing Cloud had stepped out of the forbidden area...

"Fellow Daoist Kunpeng, I have already given you enough face by not taking action myself this time!"

Under such circumstances, Kunpeng could only shake his head helplessly.

What he was afraid of was not that Great Sage Tunyun would die at the hands of others.
As a supreme Taiyi supported by the essence of Daluo, even if the Great Sage Tunyun has never communicated his own achievements, he is still invincible at the level of Taiyi - even if those supreme Taiyi hold innate spiritual treasures and move, unless they can refine the innate spiritual treasures and turn them into something that completely belongs to them, then they will have a chance to hold out against the Great Sage Tunyun.

Just like what Taoist Duzhen did, he simply bestowed the magic treasure on his own disciples and ordered his disciples to use the magic treasure to kill the Great Sage Tunyun - in the eyes of ordinary people, this kind of behavior is already considered to be overstepping the line, and is almost similar to Ao Bing's request for the Sword of Immortal Execution.

But in front of the Great Sage Tunyun, this was far from enough - let alone just bestowing the magic treasure. Even if Taoist Duzhen hid a little of his own power in the magic treasure and let his disciples activate it, it would not be enough to kill the Great Sage Tunyun. Instead, it would give the Great Sage Tunyun an opportunity to fight.

And this is what Kunpeng is afraid of.

There is no doubt that Great Sage Tunyun, as the essence of Daluo, will never give in - and Taoist Duzhen, as the true Daluo, will not back down either.

Even if the Great Sage Tunyun killed the disciples sent by Taoist Duzhen, Taoist Duzhen would still accept more disciples.

Then, the hatred between the two sides will become deeper and deeper, and in the end one side must die.

This would not only drag the demon race into some kind of abyss, but also expose the identity of the Great Sage Swallowing Clouds, which would then cause others to begin to doubt the demon race's background and begin to test the demon race's background. Then, the demon race would become the target of public criticism. This killing calamity had a saint coming out - in fact, Kunpeng was the one who was most reluctant to know this news.

What does the existence of saints mean?

Of course, it is the unquestionable power and the indelible heritage - as long as a saint who completely belongs to the demon clan can appear among the demon clan, then the demon clan’s heritage will naturally continue forever.

But what's the price?

How can one become a saint?
A very simple truth - a real dragon cannot be raised in shallow water.

When did the several saints in the world today achieve their accomplishments?

It was when the war between the lich and the sorcerer was at its fiercest, when the death and injury between heaven and earth were at their most tragic, but also when the origin between heaven and earth was at its richest.

The achievements of the six saints also occupied too much of the origin between heaven and earth.

This is the price of becoming a saint - or the prerequisite.

Enough, the origin of heaven and earth.

And now, are there many origins of heaven and earth between heaven and earth?
Can the origin of heaven and earth support the achievements of another saint?
According to Kunpeng's judgment, it is obviously not enough!

But the achievement of a saint is inevitable - that is to say, even if the current origin of heaven and earth is not enough to support the manifestation of a saint, when the saint is about to achieve success, the origin between heaven and earth will naturally increase.

So, how did this extra origin of heaven and earth come about?
It will never appear out of thin air or come out of nothing.

Well, the answer is simple.

Killing disaster.

Qigong practitioner!
Those Taiyi between heaven and earth.

Even the great ones like them.

Therefore, while other Daluo were still thinking and planning the fight for the sainthood, and were still hesitating whether to actively join in this killing calamity or to still escape, Kunpeng already knew that this killing calamity was unavoidable!

This is a killing calamity aimed at them, the Daluo.

This is because only when enough Daluo fall can the origin between heaven and earth grow to a level that can enable a saint to achieve success.

Now, many Daluo between heaven and earth have not realized this, so these Daluo can still sit together and talk - but as time goes by little by little, those Daluo will soon discover this cruel and brutal fact.

And at that time, it will be the time for the Daluo to fight each other in their respective camps.

Just imagine, in such a situation, once people find out that those Daluo of the demon race who have already fallen were rescued from time and space by Kunpeng, how will the Daluo between heaven and earth view the demon race?

They would think that the demon race had known about the saint's achievement long before, and then had been hiding their strength and showing weakness to others for countless thousands of years, in order to wait for the great warriors to kill each other and then they could take the sainthood.

In this way, the existence of the demon race will immediately become the target of public criticism - the Daluo between heaven and earth will definitely unite before the war and wipe out all the demons first, so as to prevent the demon race, who have been preparing for this for countless tens of thousands of years, from taking action and picking the final fruit.

For Kunpeng, this was a result that he could not accept no matter what!

“If it really doesn’t work, I can only let Tunyun pretend to be dead.” Kunpeng thought to himself - those Daluo of the demon race, even if their essence is Daluo, after completely letting go of the influence of the Tao fruit, there are very few who can achieve the same as Tunyun.

Whether it is to let the current Kunpeng give up Tunyun, or let Tunyun fake his death and give up this supreme achievement under Daluo, it is an extremely difficult decision.

"Tunyun, ah Tunyun, the news you bring had better be worth your life!"

As the thought flashed through his mind, Kunpeng had already stood up.

"Daoist Duzhen, please take back the spiritual treasure."

"Tunyun has some good friends in the North Sea. If he dies at the hands of fellow Taoists, it will be a disaster for his whole life."

"Since Tunyun has stepped out of the ban without permission, I will go and give you an explanation myself." Kunpeng said as he slowly stepped out of Lingxiao Palace.

——Since it has been decided to use Tunyun's "life" in exchange for the current situation of the demon clan, Tunyun cannot die in the hands of others, let alone die in public. Otherwise, even Kunpeng cannot guarantee whether there will be any Daluo with good eyesight who can see any clues.

Therefore, he had to go in person!

Only in this way can the situation be suppressed within the demon clan while the secret of the Great Sage Tunyun be locked away.

"Daoyou Kunpeng..." When Kunpeng stood up, the expressions of the Daluo in the hall became more complicated. Some powerful people from the same era as Kunpeng looked at Kunpeng's back, and there was even some pity in their eyes.

Since when did Kunpeng endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens to such an extent!
"Fellow Daoist Duzhen, how about that?"

"At worst, I can ask Fellow Daoist Kunpeng to travel all over the world and find Lin Shu's reincarnation."

"He has been searching for more than 80,000 years." Taoist Duzhen closed his eyes - even he had never expected Kunpeng to show weakness like this.

But it’s still the same sentence.

There must always be an explanation for everything - and this time, it was the Great Sage Tunyun who violated the agreement he made with Kunpeng.

"Alas." Watching Kunpeng's figure disappear in the heaven, someone in the palace sighed softly. "Is that promise really that heavy?"

Hearing this, the Daluo in the hall became even more silent.

Whether it was Kunpeng's protection of the demon clan, his endurance of humiliation in front of everyone, or Taoist Duzhen's relentlessness - in the final analysis, it all came from a promise!

In this respect, both of them have their rightness and justice.

Therefore, in the face of their correctness and justice, others want to persuade or mediate, but they don’t know how to persuade or mediate.

So, they could only let him go.

……

In the Dragon Court, Ao Bing and Great Sage Tunyun sat opposite each other.

They were both powerful demons at the Taiyi level, and were both honored with the title of 'Great Sage' - but the feeling that this Great Sage Tunyun gave Ao Bing was completely different from the many demons he had seen in the past.

Hidden beneath that powerful body was an unimaginable power - all the monsters that Ao Bing had seen, even the Bull Demon King who had established the monster clan's foundation outside the domain, seemed to be no match for the Swallowing Cloud Great Sage in front of him.

This is an incredible situation.

If the Taiyi of the demon clan has a limit, then in Ao Bing's cognition, the existence of the Bull Demon King is such a limit - below Daluo, no demon clan can compare with the Bull Demon King.

But at this time, the Swallowing Cloud Great Sage who appeared in front of Ao Bing was no longer just a matter of being comparable to the Bull Demon King - on some level, he could be said to have surpassed the Bull Demon King.

"The incarnation of Daluo!"

“Or maybe, he is a supreme being that has reached the Daluo level!” In just a moment, Ao Bing had an understanding of the Great Sage Tunyun who came to the North Sea to discuss the situation.

“No wonder he dared to say that he came here on behalf of the North Sea Monster Clan, considering the monster clan’s unruly and disorganized nature.”

Ao Bing calmed his mind and suppressed his violently beating heart - that growing heart was constantly warning him of the danger and terror of the demon sage in front of him.

"But I don't know what kind of rules the Great Sage wants to ask when he comes to the North Sea?" Ao Bing said slowly.

And behind Ao Bing, eight of the thirteen Taoist sect masters from the North Sea and thirteen top Taiyi were here!

"Compared to the question from the Great Lord of Justice, I would like to know more about how the Great Lord of Justice views our group of monsters in the North Sea." The Great Sage Tunyun looked at Ao Bing in front of him. The curiosity in his eyes about Ao Bing was no less than Ao Bing's speculation about his identity.

——One thing that was beyond his expectations was that after he came to the Dragon Court, he did not detect any rejection of the demon race from Ao Bing.

This was something that even with his Daluo nature and vision, he found incredible.

The world today is no longer an era that belongs to the demon clan - even though the demon clan has Daluo in charge, they can only take refuge in the North Sea.

Evil immortals, evil gods, demons, ghosts - demons, the ones mentioned here are the demon race.

Under such circumstances, even the great masters between heaven and earth are repulsed by the existence of the demon race.

Not to mention, his character and bearing are no match for Daluo.

Therefore, since coming to the North Sea, in order to inform Kunpeng of the changes in the North Sea, and to take a look at the whereabouts of the Great Lord of Justice in front of him, the Great Sage Tunyun was ready to fight with this tough Great Lord of Justice. After both sides were exhausted, they would sit down and talk. Of course, during the fight, he would be able to get a better glimpse of the whereabouts of the Great Lord of Justice and see what kind of relationship he had with the Demon King.

But who would have thought that the Great Lord of Justice in front of him did not show the slightest rejection towards him, the Great Saint of the Demon Clan - this was not a superficial calmness because he was afraid of him due to his powerful body, but a recognition of equality from a deeper level.

With this recognition, Great Sage Tunyun felt dazed for no reason, and his originally aggressive and provocative attitude was completely restrained at this moment.
