I come to see Bai Yujing today

Chapter 249 The True Form of the Lord of Baiyujing
The radiance of Guanghan Tower pierced through the vast void, landing on Kaiyang Palace and on Old Huangliang.

From a distance, Old Huangliang appeared unassuming and unremarkable.

But when Chen Zhian stepped into Kaiyang Palace, he felt that as the divine essence of Lao Huangliang flowed, the radiance reflected from the surrounding palaces made Lao Huangliang's incarnation appear incredibly tall.

Old Huang Liang's eyes were deep, occasionally flashing with a sharp light, but he also made no attempt to hide the weariness in his brows.

He saw Chen Zhian step into Kaiyang Palace, and the surrounding purple aura and yellow palace energy gathered around him like swimming dragons.

"Your name is Chen Zhian?" Old Huang Liang suddenly asked, then nodded slightly: "Your spiritual essence is becoming more and more profound and mysterious... With this foundation alone, you only need to refine the Dao True Qi to easily step into the Jade Palace Realm."

For the past six months, Chen Zhian has referred to himself as a guest from Chang'an.

Today, Lao Huang Liang revealed his identity, which did not surprise Chen Zhian.

“The young people of Dayu have been silent for a long time. I counted the Young Tiger Stele and saw your name on the fifth line... It is not difficult to guess your identity. With your talent and your background, I only need to find the young people of Dayu in the first ten of the Young Tiger Stele.”

Old Huang Liang smiled slightly and said, "The world is vast, and many strong people emerge... Many years ago, I also greatly admired the young people whose names were engraved on the Young Tiger Stele. I felt that they were shining brightly, and any one of them would have great achievements in the future."

Their primordial spirits had all entered the Guanghan Tower. Old Huang Liang had guessed Chen Zhi'an's identity, and Chen Zhi'an did not deny it. Upon hearing Old Huang Liang's words, he asked with some surprise, "Senior, were you not listed on the Young Tiger Stele when you were young?"

Looking at the vast Baiyujing outside Kaiyang Gate, Old Huang Liang nodded and smiled, "When I was young, I came from a poor family. Later, I joined the army, but I was just an ordinary soldier. When I was your age, I was just a lowly soldier guarding a tent."

When I was thirty, I had only become a minor centurion.

Therefore, I never ascended the Young Tiger Stele. I was already thirty-five years old when I truly began my cultivation, and it wasn't until I was sixty that I ascended to the pinnacle of creation.

Now, having stagnated at the Creation Realm for over sixty years, and burdened with numerous national and personal grievances, his cultivation has become even more stagnant…

His eyes flickered, and his tone became more emotional: "If it weren't for the Jade Palace that gave me renewed hope, if it weren't for the Purple Qi and Yellow Court that restored my comprehension to its former glory."

Perhaps after my last setback, I would have been riddled with injuries and died in resentment.

This is also why he so easily entrusted his primordial spirit to the Guanghan Tower.

Bai Yujing gave him a new life in a certain way, and he repaid her with his own primordial spirit.

only……

To this day, the Lord of Baiyujing has not asked anything of him. On the contrary, the purple aura and yellow court in Kaiyang Palace have become increasingly thick, making Old Huangliang's Great Repentance of Immortality even more mysterious, and he is about to enter a new phase of life.

Chen Zhian, being in Baiyujing, was naturally able to sense the subtle changes in Lao Huangliang. He sensed that Lao Huangliang's aura was becoming increasingly profound and mysterious, as if he was about to step into a completely new realm.

So Chen Zhian smiled and said, "This Jade Capital is indeed mysterious. Both I and my seniors have obtained tremendous opportunities in this Jade Capital."

"Senior should be on the verge of a breakthrough... If that's the case, then what is troubling you? The worry and struggle in your eyes are becoming increasingly clear."

Old Huang Liang was not surprised that Chen Zhian had seen through his thoughts.

With his hands behind his back, his aged body seemed like an ageless mountain: "Many times, Baiyujing is a place where I can catch my breath."

Only here can I not hide my weariness and my struggle.

He paused for a few moments, took a deep breath, and said, "Da Li is pressing forward step by step. The Fifth Prince of Da Li has already set up camp outside Wusu Field on the orders of the Da Li Heavenly General."

My troops, my people, and I could only venture into the Great Wilderness.

But those few oases are not enough to support my people. If we continue onward, the Great Wilderness will become an endless graveyard, burying my Yuhu people.

But if I turn back, the Iron Horse Cloud Eagle beneath Fifth Sheng will devour the lives of my eight million people.

When I first gained power, I swore an oath to protect my people, to conquer Wusuchang, and to capture Yubi City. But now I've turned back...

My people and I have once again become homeless dogs, forced to fight for food with wild dogs and wolves in the desolate wilderness.

first……

Old Huang Liang spoke frankly without any hesitation. He never explicitly revealed his identity, but these few words alone were enough for Chen Zhian to understand a great deal of information.

"Senior is a Yuhu person..."

Old Huang Liang nodded, his eyes flickering: "Perhaps I should bypass several deadly places in the Great Wilderness, bypass Dali and Dayu, and head to the Western Regions."

Many small kingdoms in the Western Regions are on their last legs, and large tracts of land are not fertile. However, as long as we work hard to cultivate them, we should still make sure to feed our Yuhu people.

However… the ancestral lineage, the ancestral fortune, and the talisman left behind by our ancestors on the jade disc are no longer related to us, the people of Yuhu.”

He was talking to himself, as if he had made up his mind.

Chen Zhian couldn't help but remind him: "The Great Qian has already annexed the twelve kingdoms of the Western Regions. Perhaps the next step will be dozens of small kingdoms in the Western Regions, or even the Great Yu..."

There is no pure land left in the world. If the Jade People go to the Western Regions, they will run headlong into the Xuanmen and Xuanbing of the Great Qian Dynasty…

He never said it explicitly.

However, the ferocity of the Xuanmen and Xuanbing of the Great Qian Dynasty was already well-known throughout the world.

Old Huang Liang was a man of great talent and experience, and he naturally understood what would happen to a wandering person like the Yu Hu Ren if they encountered the Great Qian Xuanmen.

Old Huang Liang remained unmoved and said, "With the world in chaos, everyone will have to go through countless struggles and hardships to survive in this chaotic world."

I was already prepared. My people are weaker and live harder lives... They've become accustomed to hardship and despair. I was also prepared; to survive... I had to take risks.

His eyes held both worry and determination: "My Jade Disc Spear carries the hopes of eight million Yuhu people, so I can only struggle again and again to keep moving forward and seeking... As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will not give up."

Old Huang Liang was already old and frail, and although his brows were furrowed with weariness, he had not given up.

Chen Zhian was moved by his words.

The world is in chaos, and many people are struggling to survive... But what is the cause of this chaos?

The Great Qian Dynasty was aggressive and seemed intent on turning half the world's population into cultivation resources, while keeping the other half as livestock.

Why is the world like this?
Chen Zhian pondered for a long time, then suddenly looked up and said to Old Huang Liang, "Why don't you pray to Lord Baiyujing? Lord Baiyujing is extremely mysterious, perhaps he can make some arrangements."

Old Huang Liang looked at Chen Zhian, remained silent for a few moments, and then solemnly reminded Chen Zhian, saying, "Young man... I must remind you, the Lord of Baiyujing is mysterious and noble... especially this Baiyujing, which is like a real heavenly palace."

We were brought here by the Lord of Baiyujing and received the purple aura and yellow court of Kaiyang Palace! This is already an unparalleled opportunity.

But... the gods and immortals are unfathomable!
Thinking it over carefully, I have never offered anything to the Lord of Jade Capital since I entered this Jade Capital... nor has the Lord of Jade Capital issued any decree.

"If I were to make a hasty request before the Lord of Baiyujing, it might offend him."

Old Huang Liang's tone was respectful, yet it also seemed as if he had long witnessed the capriciousness of immortals and gods, and there was a hint of apprehension in his voice.

Chen Zhian laughed and said, "The Lord of Baiyujing has his own reasons for bringing us here."

Just as the elders said, the deity of Baiyujing is beyond comprehension.

But weren't your words just now also a kind of conjecture?
Senior, please make this request for now and see how Lord Baiyujing responds! For example, I once prayed to Lord Baiyujing.

"The Lord of Baiyujing opened the Wuju Tower, and that wandering knight stepped across the Wuju Bridge into the mortal world to assist me... See, the Lord of Baiyujing sometimes responds." "Moreover... for now, I pray that I may travel the world for the Lord of Baiyujing in the future."

Chen Zhian explained in detail: "It was just like when the senior was seriously injured last time and prayed to Lord Baiyujing."

Old Huang Liang lowered his head and pondered carefully, his eyes filled with more hope and clarity.

After a few moments, he finally bowed down in the direction of Nan Liujing.

His overwhelming aura subsided, and at this moment he resembled a devout believer...

I bow down...

Rumble!
Suddenly, an unimaginable radiance surged around Nanliujing.

The intense radiance instantly coalesced into a throne, upon which a figure bursting with golden light was outlined.

That golden figure seemed to have come from time immemorial, imbued with the brilliance of the years, and as if it were born with unimaginable Dao truth, making it impossible for even a figure like Old Huang Liang to see it clearly.

Chen Zhian stood beside Lao Huangliang and also bowed.

In that instant, the area shrouded in mist outside Kaiyang Palace in Baiyujing also underwent changes, and then the mist dissipated slightly.

boom! boom! boom!
It was like a heart beating as big as a mountain.

A terrifying and unparalleled power erupted from it.

In that instant, Old Huang Liang even felt as if a true Daoist was about to awaken within the mist.

"This……"

Old Huang Liang was somewhat at a loss: "Could this be the true form of the Lord of Baiyujing?"

"So the Jade Emperor in Nanliujing was just an avatar?"

He found it utterly unbelievable.

Over the long years, he had seen figures from the Dao Tribulation, and he had also seen the beings whose names were engraved on the Ninth Stele.

They even found clues about the Dao in a Daoist palace.

Yet I had never felt such a mysterious and powerful aura before.

While he was filled with surprise and doubt!

Another ray of light flashed, and another tall building rose up in the mist.

The building seemed to be made of glass, with a furnace hanging high on its top floor.

The furnace glowed with firelight, reflecting Old Huangliang's face from a great distance.

In an instant, Old Huang Liang felt that this furnace seemed to contain the power to refine the primordial spirit of creation.

"Refine the primordial spirit... to nourish Bai Yujing?"

Even when facing the iron cavalry and cloud-carved eagles of Dali, and the dazzling Dali Heavenly Generals who shone like stars and the moon, Old Huang Liang never felt so terrified.

What does this pavilion represent?

The more Huang Liang thought about it, the more he felt that Baiyujing was full of secrets, and that the Lord of Baiyujing was more powerful than he could have imagined!
"When the chessboard of heaven and earth is complete, I will give the Yuhu people a place... allowing you to establish a country and allowing you to live in it."

The voice of Bai Yujing entered Lao Huangliang's mind without warning.

Old Huang Liang witnessed the true form of the Jade Emperor, so mysterious and powerful, saw that tall building, and received the Jade Emperor's promise; he was still in a daze.

It wasn't until Chen Zhian beside him bowed that Old Huang Liang realized what was happening and quickly bowed in return.

The brilliance of Nanliujing began to fade, and the distant mist began to shroud the area once more.

Fu Tingjun, who was perched on the mountain, was also intimidated by that terrifying aura, and even trembled slightly.

"What exactly does the Lord of Baiyujing want to do? And what is this so-called Chess Game of Heaven and Earth?"

Even after everything around him returned to normal, Old Huang Liang was still in a daze, but after a few breaths... he couldn't help but jump for joy.

"With the game complete, we, the people of Yuhu, will finally have a place to live..."

"And all I need to do before that is... do my best to keep my people alive."

Hope ignited in Lao Huangliang's heart, and his breath grew ever deeper.

Seeing Huang Liang's spirited demeanor, Chen Zhian felt relieved.

He did not deceive Lao Huangliang...

As he stepped into the realm of perfect innate cultivation, he was able to sense the terrifying presence within the mist, as well as a brand-new pavilion.

"That new pavilion has a furnace hanging high, which can transform the primordial spirit of the strong into the aura of the Jade Capital. When I step into the Jade Palace, it will be able to be opened."

"And I have a strong premonition... As my cultivation improves, Baiyujing will inevitably enter the world."

When that time comes... it will surely become a celestial kingdom that belongs only to me!

"In the celestial realm, there must always be beings to manage this vast Jade Capital for me."

"Before that, once I have nurtured my Xuanbing and secured my position as the Seal Holder, I may be able to find a way out for the Yuhu people within the territory of Dayu."

The Yuhu people have been fighting against the Dali for countless years.

Among them are countless powerful individuals.

Chen Zhian's foundation in Dayu is weak, and the Yuhu people may be a good opportunity for him to completely dismantle the power of his enemies.

This way, everyone gets what they want, the Yuhu inheritance is preserved, and he can completely trust Old Huang Liang...

Chen Zhian pondered for a moment, then saw that Old Huang Liang nodded to him with gratitude in his eyes.

Chen Zhian was not polite and said with a smile, "Senior has great insight and has experienced many years. I wonder if I could ask you for a battle formation technique?"
"Do I intend to train a Xuanbing (mysterious weapon) force in the Great Yu Dynasty that can fight alongside me against the Great Qian Dynasty, and even conquer the world?"

Old Huang Liang nodded without hesitation.

He looked Chen Zhian up and down again and said, "I have many battle formations, including Xuanbing, Dibing, and Tianbing."

But I wonder how ambitious you are, and how much merit you have for spiritual practice?

Chen Zhian's eyes flickered as he glanced at Kunlunze.

Countless medicinal herbs thrived in Kunlun Marsh, but only he could see them.
