Simultaneous travel: I am proving the great way in the heavens.

Chapter 626 The Changes of Heaven's Way, the Pinnacle of Humanity! The protagonist of the present world!
Unable to find the White and Green Snakes in the bamboo forests around Qiantang, Luo Fu left the string of Buddhist beads he obtained from the Spider Demon in the bamboo forest.

Let alone Luofu, even to Fahai, the spider demon's prayer beads were nothing special.

But that doesn't mean that the string of prayer beads is completely useless.

You should know that such a string of Buddhist prayer beads is a treasure that the White and Green Snakes cherish.

Its peaceful and auspicious Buddhist blessings are something countless demons dream of.

Luo Fu leaving the Buddhist beads in the bamboo forest was merely a casual act.

But his every move has an enormous impact on the cause and effect of this world.

Although he didn't know who had gotten the prayer beads, judging from the timing, the fact that Zhu Erdan and Wang Yuanfeng would appear before him was probably related to the person who had obtained the prayer beads.

Zhu Erdan was merely delusional, unlike Wang Yuanfeng who was purely foolish.

His obsession seems more like a result of low intelligence.

When communicating with people, he seems a bit slow-witted, but he is still able to interact with people normally.

Following Wang Taichang's instructions, Zhu Erdan informed Luo Fu of what he knew, and then invited Luo Fu to his residence for a chat.

Luo Fu was also eager to see who had managed to scheme against him so quickly, so he readily took the two fools and headed to Wang Taichang's residence.

Although it is called a mansion, it is actually just a separate courtyard.

After all, Wang Taichang held a high position and great power in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and with power came wealth.

What ordinary people would never even dream of—a luxurious mansion—was merely a secluded residence that Wang Taichang hastily purchased.

When Luo Fu arrived at the gate of this villa with Wang Yuanfeng and Zhu Erdan, he saw Wang Taichang and his wife in the distance, leading all the servants of the villa, setting up a huge formation to wait for Luo Fu's arrival.

He saw Luo Fu and his foolish son arrive with Zhu Erdan.

Wang Taichang excitedly hurried forward to greet him.

"Wang greets the immortal."

Clearly, from the very beginning, Wang Taichang had no intention of beating around the bush.

He was able to know of Luofu's existence because of the guidance of the spirit fox he saved in his childhood.

The spirit fox had specifically instructed that Luo Fu's identity was extraordinary and that he must not be offended.

Even the spirit fox speaks with such certainty, so how could Wang Taichang possibly maintain his dignity in front of Luofu?
Moreover, in the Great Zhou Dynasty, even the reigning emperor listens to the advice of the Imperial Preceptor, Pudu Cihang.

When superiors have certain preferences, subordinates will inevitably follow suit.

As an official in the imperial court, especially one who had come into contact with extraordinary people, Wang Taichang was well aware that those who possessed supernatural powers and magic were absolutely not to be offended, especially since he needed their help this time.

Luo Fu glanced at Wang Taichang and went straight to the point: "Who instructed you to search for me in this way?"

Not daring to conceal it, Wang Taichang frankly said, "Please forgive me, Immortal. I am over fifty years old and have only one son. However, my only son is born mentally challenged and is still unmarried. I once helped a fox spirit, who instructed me to let Yuanfeng and the scholar Zhu Erdan travel together, where they could meet you in Qiantang."

Luo Fu nodded knowingly, knowing that Wang Taichang was simply trying anything as a last resort.

After all, Wang Yuanfeng's mental retardation was well-known far and wide.

Although he was powerful and influential, it was not difficult for him to arrange a few bed warmers for Wang Yuanfeng.

The key problem is that Wang Yuanfeng doesn't know anything about this. He can't very well find someone from a brothel to make arrangements, can he?
Moreover, Wang Taichang was a high-ranking official in the Zhou Dynasty.

No matter how mentally challenged one's son may be, he shouldn't be without a proper wife.

As for Xiao Cui, without Luo Fu's appearance, although Xiao Cui seemed to have become Wang Yuanfeng's wife, her status was actually more like that of a child bride.

They were merely tools for the royal family to continue their lineage.

In addition, Xiao Cui was arranged by the spirit fox in Wang Taichang's heart.

However, if he could restore his son to normal, Wang Taichang would certainly not look down on Xiao Cui, a daughter-in-law of unknown origin.

"A mere fox dares to scheme against me?" Luo Fu laughed. "Did that so-called spirit fox give you any instructions?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Taichang thought for a moment and said, "Reporting to the Immortal, the spirit fox is merely guiding us. If we can meet the Immortal, I can certainly help my son regain his intelligence."

Upon hearing this, Luo Fu glanced at Wang Yuanfeng beside him, who was acting like a child.

With just one glance, Luo Fu could tell that Wang Yuanfeng's idiocy was not related to his body, but rather to a problem with his soul.

In fact, whether it was Zhu Erdan's heart transplant after meeting Lu Pan or Xiao Cui's deception by the snake demon, the so-called methods to make Wang Yuanfeng smarter were nothing more than a brutal alteration of the soul.

Lu Pan replaced Zhu Erdan's heart with a wisdom heart, which certainly made Zhu Erdan's wisdom increase instantly, but at the same time, it also completely changed Zhu Erdan's character.

It's important to know that before the heart transplant, Zhu Erdan never thought his wife was ugly. In other words, before the heart transplant, Zhu Erdan had no sense of discrimination.

However, after the heart transplant, Zhu Erdan became greedy and lustful in a very short period of time.

Wang Yuanfeng fared even worse. After being tricked by the snake demon, he went from being mentally impaired to becoming violent in an instant.

At that moment, after noticing the problem with Wang Yuanfeng and Zhu Erdan's souls, Luo Fu instantly understood the reason.

Normal living beings possess all three souls and seven spirits.

However, the souls of Wang Yuanfeng and Zhu Erdan were flawed.

This defect is not a natural evolution of the natural order, but rather the result of brutal interference.

A hundred years before the great changes in the world, the mortal world was filled with people of different wisdom and foolishness, but all of them were products of the Way of Heaven. However, after the great changes in the world a hundred years ago, even the underworld became a place where various ghost kings ruled their own territories.

Countless souls were affected.

Although the cycle of reincarnation continues, it is completely devoid of emotion and desire, and is entirely in a passive state.

In this state, those souls that are inherently flawed and, in principle, have no right to reincarnate, also re-enter the cycle of reincarnation by a twist of fate.

The end result was situations like those of Zhu Erdan and Wang Yuanfeng.

Due to defects in his soul, he was born with intellectual disability and stupidity!

However, their idiocy can be altered through interference with their souls. But how can the resulting intelligence, especially at the level of the soul, compare to the natural evolution of the Way of Heaven?
This fundamental flaw could not be perfectly remedied even when the gods and Buddhas of the Three Realms were still alive, let alone by a mere imposter, Lu Pan, or a snake demon whose origins are unknown.

The former is a knock-off version of Lu Pan created by the Black Mountain Demon, while the latter snake demon is definitely related to Pudu Cihang.

In the Great Zhou court, although the Grand Preceptor Pudu Cihang does not yet wield absolute power, it is absolutely impossible for a snake demon to enter the palace as a concubine without his permission.

Perhaps, that snake demon was actually one of the people who saved Pudu Cihang, just like the spider demon.

Pudu Cihang dared to sneak into the human world and become the Grand Preceptor of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

From this point alone, it is not difficult to judge that his strength has almost reached the pinnacle of human ability.

Otherwise, even if the laws of heaven change and the Tao declines while the demons rise, it wouldn't be possible for a mere thousand-year-old prodigy to become the current imperial advisor.

It should be understood that in most worlds, the prosperity of the human race is never simply a matter of being favored by the heavens.

They earned it through their own strength.

In this world alone, humanity seems to be on the verge of extinction.

Not only in the human world and the underworld, but also in the human world, people's hearts have become corrupted.

In fact, the death of Pudu Cihang can be seen as an accident.

Although it appears that Yan Chixia, Zhi Qiu Yiye, and others joined forces to slay the demon and kill Pudu Cihang, the Pudu Cihang they faced had been weakened to the extreme.

Before this, Pudu Cihang had devoured all the civil and military officials in the imperial court, and that was not all; he was even constantly traveling throughout the human world.

So, what was his purpose in traveling so quickly?
Considering the existence of the spider demon, it's not hard to conclude that Pudu Cihang truly intends to completely sever the future of human cultivators.

The spider demon might have been deceived, but the snake demon who tricked Wang Yuanfeng was definitely related to Pudu Cihang.

However, compared to monsters like the Tree Demon Granny and the Black Mountain Demon, Pudu Cihang is much more secretive.

If it weren't for a fortuitous coincidence that Ning Caichen and others noticed something amiss, he might have truly had the potential to transform into a dragon.

The more Luo Fu understood the world, the more vigilant he became towards Pudu Cihang, and dared not underestimate him in the slightest.

The power of the Compassionate Salvation is such that, unless weakened by the changing times, it is almost impossible for human cultivators to defeat it with their current strength.

It is very possible that Pudu Cihang is like the new protagonist of the world after the great change in the Heavenly Dao.

The reason why Wang Yuanfeng and Zhu Erdan were one fool and the other mad was that their souls had problems, or that from the moment they were reincarnated, their souls had been severely damaged in the underworld.

Luo Fu couldn't help but frown.

In truth, there was no good way for him to resolve this injury that originated from the depths of his soul.

Yes, this is a wound to the soul.

Fortunately, they were lucky enough to be reincarnated and receive nourishment from a physical body. Otherwise, given the nature of their souls, they would have been completely destroyed in the underworld in no time.

Seeing Luo Fu frown, Wang Taichang and his wife immediately became nervous.

You see, ever since they received the message from the spirit fox, this couple had placed all their hopes on the immortal Luo Fu. They even went to great lengths to find Zhu Erdan, a scholar who shared the same illness as their son, in order to cure him.

If even the immortal Luo Fu, the fox spirit, couldn't do anything about it, wouldn't that mean their son had no hope of recovery?
Finally, unable to contain herself any longer, Madam Wang cautiously asked, "Immortal, is there... is there any chance for my son to recover? Even if... even if he is a little dull."

Coming to his senses, Luo Fu said, "Your son and this Zhu Erdan suffered severe damage to their souls before they went through the six realms of reincarnation in the underworld. If they hadn't had the opportunity to be reincarnated and nourished by a physical body, they would have been completely destroyed in the underworld with such a damaged soul."

Wang Taichang was truly startled by Luo Fu's words. He couldn't help but say, "I beg the immortal to have mercy. Even if my son is a little dull, it would be better than him being so stupid as he is now."

Although Luo Fu couldn't directly restore Wang Yuanfeng and Zhu Erdan, that was only under the condition that he, as an external force, intervened. If Wang Yuanfeng and Zhu Erdan could master the method of strengthening their souls on their own, then it wasn't entirely hopeless.

Putting everything else aside, Luo Fu still possesses some methods to restore souls.

Many methods can actually nourish and strengthen the soul.

This applies to all orthodox Buddhist and Taoist practices, except in very special circumstances.

For example, the Golden Light Spell and the Reverse Life Triple Technique from the world of otherworldly beings, the Spiritual Particle Technique from the world of death, and even the Yin Release from the ninja world can all nourish and strengthen the soul.

But as I said before, with Zhu Erdan and Wang Yuanfeng being one mentally challenged and the other foolish, even if Luo Fu were to impart the methods to them, they might not be able to understand them, let alone begin their cultivation.

In a short time, Luo Fu really couldn't think of any suitable way to help the two recover.

After a moment's hesitation, Luo Fu said, "Although I possess a method to strengthen the divine soul, your son and Zhu Erdan may not be able to understand it..."

Before Luo Fu could finish speaking, the panicked Wang Taichang and his wife knelt down in unison. Seeing this, the servants dared not stand any longer, and in an instant, everyone outside the gate of this villa knelt down.

Only Luo Fu, Wang Yuanfeng, and Zhu Erdan, who were unaware of what had happened, remained standing.

Luo Fu accepted the generous gift from Wang Taichang and his wife without hesitation. He said, “The Great Dao is fifty, and the Heavenly Evolution is forty-nine. All things in the world have a glimmer of hope. Since I have received your generous gift, I should take care of your paternal love and find a way out for your son.”

"Thank you so much, Immortal! Thank you so much, Immortal!" Mr. and Mrs. Wang were extremely excited and invited Luo Fu into their residence.

Luo Fu did not rush to find a way to restore Wang Yuanfeng and Zhu Erdan's souls.

Now, what he cares about more is that so-called spirit fox.

Wang Taichang, who had placed all his hopes on Luo Fu, revealed the existence of the spirit fox almost without hesitation.

Of course, this is also due to the spirit fox's own will.

Judging from the behavior of the fox spirit mother and daughter, it is not difficult to tell that they are definitely not on the same side as the demons and monsters like Pudu Cihang.

The fox spirit mother and daughter followed a more orthodox path of cultivation, predating the great upheaval in the world, while figures like Pudu Cihang, the Tree Demon Granny, and the Black Mountain Demon were truly brutal demons.

If the great upheaval had not occurred a hundred years ago, then orthodox cultivators like the Spirit Fox Mother and Daughter would definitely be living a more comfortable life than demons like Pudu Cihang. But the problem is that the Heavenly Dao has now changed.

As the Way declined and the Demonic Way rose, the once orthodox system was completely suppressed.

Over the course of a hundred years, the fox spirit mother and daughter were not fools, and naturally they wanted to change their ways. However, they were proud of their orthodoxy and looked down on the behavior of demons like Pudu and Cihang.

The appearance of Luo Fu undoubtedly became a lifeline for the fox spirit mother and daughter.

Their introduction of Luofu to Wang Taichang was merely an attempt to use this opportunity to establish ties with Luofu and seek his assistance.
