I am devoted to the Tao

Chapter 379: Incomprehensible, unpredictable, unknowable, unpredictable, wrong as soon as you think about it, absurd as soon as you think about it

"If it's not Fellow Daoist Fang, then whose plan was it that even the Demon Lord couldn't see through?"

Jiang Chuan's eyes flickered slightly and he spoke curiously.

The Ancient Demon Lord did not speak immediately, but raised his head and looked at the blue sky.

Jiang Chuan also raised his head and looked at the sky, and then he thought of a possibility.

"Ziwei Star City's ancestor, the Ziwei Immortal King?"

Although his words were questions, his tone was unusually certain.

"It is the Ziwei Immortal King."

The Ancient Demon Lord picked up a black chess piece and placed it on a white chess piece.

"I once thought I saw through the Ziwei Immortal King's plan, but later I found that I underestimated the Ziwei Immortal King."

"The Ziwei Immortal King participated in the extermination of the Azure Dragon Clan of the West Sea, participated in the battle to exterminate the demon clan and the Heavenly Demon, participated in the extermination of the Kunming Heavenly Demon and his clan, and participated in the construction of the Shangcang Mausoleum."

"He participated in almost every major war in the Middle Ages, but ultimately emerged unscathed. This clearly demonstrates the power of the Ziwei Immortal King."

"I knew how powerful the Ziwei Immortal King was, and I had overestimated him as much as possible. However, something happened that made me realize that I still underestimated the Ziwei Immortal King."

"What's the matter?" Old Ancestor Ziyun stuck his head out and asked curiously.

The Eternal Demon Lord spoke word by word, "The birth of Hua Mixue, the first true disciple of Ziwei Star City."

Jiang Chuan was a little surprised.

He had matched with the first true disciple of Ziwei Star City in the love simulation, but whether in reality or in the simulation, he had never seen this mysterious first true disciple of Ziwei Star City.

"When I was traveling in the outer space, I saw Hua Mixue leaving the Qingyuan Realm on a flying boat."

A solemn look appeared in the eyes of the Ancient Demon Lord: "I sense the aura of the Eternal Heaven Immortal Emperor in her."

"Hua Mixue is actually the reincarnation of the Eternal Heaven Immortal Emperor!" Jiang Chuan was horrified.

"But later I thought that she shouldn't be the reincarnation of the Eternal Heaven Immortal Emperor."

The Ancient Demon Lord said this and picked up another black piece.

"If she really is the reincarnation of the Eternal Heaven Immortal Emperor, she shouldn't have left the Qingyuan Realm. After all, the Eternal Heaven Immortal Emperor was also an extremely domineering and unscrupulous ruler back then."

"Once you leave the Qingyuan Realm, the cover of your original luck will weaken. So I suspect that Hua Mixue is most likely the reincarnation of the spirit of the Eternal Heaven Mirror, the Immortal Emperor's weapon."

"Although there is a gap between the spirit of the Immortal Emperor's weapon and his reincarnated body, the Ziwei Immortal King's plan is indeed terrifying in that he can make the spirit of the Immortal Emperor's weapon turn to his own sect." Jiang Chuan sighed.

The same layout of twelve realms exists, but the three sisters Chu Wan'er, who were recruited by the Supreme Demon Lord, are not even at the twelve realms.

However, the Ziwei Immortal King can make the spirit of the Immortal Emperor's weapon reincarnate as his disciples.

It is not difficult to see from here how terrifying Ziwei Immortal King is!
"That's when I realized that the Ziwei Immortal King's plan was even more terrifying than I had imagined. I then reread the Ziwei Immortal King's life story and even visited Ziwei Star City three times."

The Ancient Demon Lord placed the black piece on top of the white piece again.

"Then I discovered that Ziwei Immortal King's layout was like these two black and white pieces. The black piece is covering the white piece, so you can't tell whether it's the white piece underneath or something else."

"He uses his apparent plan to cover up his real plan. As for what his real plan is, I can't see through it."

Jiangchuan stared at the black piece on the two white pieces thoughtfully.

"The fifth one is Ziwei Immortal King, and who is the sixth one?"

The Ancient Demon Lord shook his head: "I don't know."

Jiangchuan:? ? ?
No, you don’t know, why did you come up with the sixth number?
Does it sound good to say it out loud?
"I know that fellow Jiang Daoyou is curious, but I really don't know who is behind this plan. But I can be sure that there is definitely such a person behind this plan." The Ancient Demon Lord's voice was full of confidence.

"Why is Fellow Daoist Demon Lord so confident?"

"because of you."

"Because of me?" Jiang Chuan looked confused.

"Your rise is as swift as thunder in the sky. Huang Chong, Wan Shanhe, the pawn of the Great Red Immortal King, and Chu Wan'er, the pawn or ally of the Supreme Demon Lord, have all been defeated by you or are inferior to you."

The Eternal Demon Lord spoke word by word, "The one who can defeat so many chess pieces must be a piece chosen by a stronger cultivator. So, who is the person behind you, Fellow Daoist Jiang?"

"Isn't the future Star King Buddha behind Jiangchuan?" The rabbit jumped in front of the chessboard.

"At first, I also thought it was the future Star King Buddha, but after thinking about it, I finally gave up this idea." The Ancient Demon Lord lowered his eyes and looked at the rabbit.

"Why did you give up?" asked the rabbit.

"That's the last half."

The Ancient Demon Lord hesitated. "The reason I said half is because I'm not sure if this group of people are hiding their identities, or if this was just an accident."

"More than a thousand years ago, when this cat and Taishan were rampant in the Qingyuan Realm, I thought Taishan was the future Xingxiu Zunwang Buddha's plan, but Taishan died."

"This is actually quite illogical. Buddhism emphasizes compassion. Moreover, when one reaches the realm of the future Constellation King Buddha, does one really need the death of a disciple to complete their plan?"

"So I guess there's actually a hidden force in the Qingyuan Realm that's sabotaging the future Star King Buddha's plans."

"As for what this force is, and who is behind it, that dares to disrupt the layout of the Fourteenth Realm Supreme Being, I have no idea."

Jiang Chuan touched his chin and kept thinking.

Who killed Tae Sun?

Bodhi Temple did not know the answer to this question, and he had not thought about it too deeply before.

Now with the reminder from the Ancient Demon Lord, he felt that this matter was definitely more complicated than he had imagined!
You should know that the Qingshi God, who is at the peak of the thirteenth realm, can already see through the past, present and future.

If the future Star King Buddha, who achieved enlightenment through the way of time and space, really had his plan destroyed by someone.

If you want to make corrections, it’s just a matter of thought!

But the future Star King Buddha did not do so.

Why is that?
"No matter who killed Tae-sun, I will definitely help Tae-sun get revenge!"

Ancestor Ziyun said hatefully, then raised his claws and slapped Jiangchuan's shoulder hard.

"Jiang Chuan, quickly become an Immortal Emperor. I want to become an Immortal Emperor soldier and smash all these guys to death!"

"I do want to become an Immortal Emperor quickly, but can such a thing be accomplished quickly?"

Jiang Chuan's current strongest Time and Void Dao is equivalent to the fourth level of the eleventh realm.

There are still two major realms and fifteen minor realms to reach the Thirteenth Realm Immortal Emperor.

Many true immortals have practiced hard for tens of thousands of years but have yet to make any progress.

In fact, after the eleventh level, the speed at which a cultivator's realm improves is extremely slow.

Otherwise, Mei Xian, the founder of the Palace of Immortals, would not have risked entering the ruins of the world and eventually died.

"You can't even become the Immortal Emperor quickly, you are so useless!" said the Purple Cloud Patriarch disdainfully.

Jiangchuan: "."

No, ancestor, do you want to listen to what you are saying?
There are so many true immortals and immortal kings in the heavens and myriad worlds who have not become immortal emperors. Shouldn’t they just kill themselves?

At this moment, even the Ancient Demon Lord was speechless.

"It's a miracle the cat didn't die!"

"Ziyun will be beaten up sooner or later."

Rabbit changed the subject: "Go on, why do you think Jiang Chuan isn't behind the Future Star King Buddha?"

"The layout of the Future Constellation King Buddha was destroyed. If he really wanted to repair it, why would he wait for more than a thousand years?"

The Eternal Demon Lord asked back, "So, I guess that after the Future Constellation King Buddha's layout was destroyed, he was not prepared to play this game. Someone found the Future Constellation King Buddha and took advantage of his intact layout, which led to the birth of Jiang Chuan."

"This is just your guess. You only have two pieces of evidence that don't count as evidence." Rabbit didn't believe the Ancient Demon Lord's guess.

"You're right."

The Eternal Demon Lord did not deny it either: "I invited Fellow Daoist Jiang here today because I wanted to ask for his opinion."

"I don't have any opinion because I'm no one's pawn."

Jiang Zhenxian’s achievements today are all due to his own efforts.

As for the love simulator
If it were a Heavenly Emperor simulator, a Taoist simulator, or something like that, Jiang Zhenxian should have rebuilt the Heavenly Palace by now and have all the gods, immortals, demons, and Buddhas kneel down to worship him.

"If Fellow Daoist Jiang says it's not true, then it's not true."

The Eternal Demon Lord smiled playfully and then ordered, "Yunsong, take Fellow Daoist Jiang to rest."

"As ordered."

Then, under the leadership of Leng Yunsong, Jiangchuan left Taishang Peak and came to a palace.

"Jiang Chuan, there are only two of us here. Tell me, whose pawn are you?" Lu Chenling's big eyes were full of curiosity.

Jiang Chuan gave Lu Chenling a slap on the head.

"Xiao Xiao Lu, I have to repeat several times, you, Master Jiang, I am no one's pawn, I am just me, I am just Jiang Chuan."

Lu Chenling covered his head and yelled, "Jiang Chuan, you bastard! I'm going to chop you to pieces!"

Ignoring Lu Chenling who was yelling and threatening, Jiang Chuan came to the palace and sat cross-legged on the cushion.

Seeing this, Lu Chenling walked towards the palace next to him angrily.

Looking at Jiang Chuan who was lost in thought, Rabbit asked, "Why, do you believe the Ancient Demon Lord's words?"

"I don't believe that statement, but there are indeed many unreasonable points in it." Jiang Chuan frowned slightly.

The rabbit summoned its own body, the Great Sun God Bell, jumped onto the bell and looked at Jiangchuan.

"I once asked the Future Constellation King Buddha a question: who would ultimately triumph between the human race and the demon race? You could also think of this as asking who would prevail in a battle between the Three Saints and the Demon Emperor, Dragon Ancestor, and Phoenix Mother."

"But do you know how the Future Star King Buddha answered me?"

"How did you answer?" Jiang Chuan was a little curious.

A look of reminiscence appeared in the rabbit's eyes, recalling what the Buddha of the past and future Star King had said.

"The existence of the Fourteen Realms is incomprehensible, unfathomable, unknowable, and unpredictable. Thinking about it is wrong, thinking about it is absurd!"

"It is incomprehensible, unfathomable, unknowable, and unpredictable. If you think about it, you will be wrong. If you think about it, you will be absurd!"

As Jiang Chuan talked to himself, his brows gradually furrowed.

"You think the Future Constellation Honored King Buddha's plan is unreasonable, and the Eternal Demon Lord thinks the Future Constellation Honored King Buddha shouldn't play this game. According to what the Future Constellation Honored King Buddha told me, both are actually wrong."

Rabbit paused and continued, "But there's one thing you need to be aware of. Any force that dares to disrupt the plans of the Future Constellation King Buddha may be backed by a Fourteenth Realm Supreme Being." "Only a fellow Supreme Being can deal with the Future Constellation King Buddha!"

"If there really is such a being involved, this treasure hunt won't go smoothly!"

"It doesn't matter. If the enemy comes, we will stop him. If the water comes, we will block it with earth."

At the same time, Jiang Chuan added in his mind: "I'll know if there are any enemies preventing me from taking the treasure after a simulation."

[Ding! Simulation begins. Now randomly matching the host with a dating simulation partner.]

[Ding! Match successful.]

[The romantic partner for this simulated match is Chu Wan'er's sister, Chu Qingyi.]

"Chu Qingyi? Chu Qiong'er is third, so this Chu Qingyi must be Chu Wan'er's second sister."

Jiang Chuan didn't expect that he had been matched with Chu Wan'er before, and now he was matched with Chu Wan'er's sister.

【Considering that there are still seven days until An Yunyi comes out of seclusion.】

[You will immediately depart for Yaozhi Island in the South China Sea.]

[The Emperor's Blood True Gold Sword is unsheathed, piercing through the void, and you arrive at Yaozhi Island again.]

Yaozhi Island is shrouded in mist, appearing and disappearing in the sea.

"Brother Daoist Jiang's visit to my Yaozhi Island truly brings honor to my humble home."

Accompanied by a pleasant voice.

The fog covering Yaozhi Island suddenly dissipated, revealing the island filled with birdsong and flowers.

Looking at Chu Wan'er and Chu Qiong'er on the island, Jiang Chuan clasped his fists and said, "Jiang Chuan greets you two fellow Daoists."

Then, under the leadership of Chu Wan'er, the three of them came to the palace on the central mountain of the island.

Chu Wan'er looked at Jiang Chuan with her soft eyes.

"I heard that after you killed the Howling Hell Demon Queen, you went into the starry sky to search for the treasure left behind by the Dark Universe Demon Lord. Now, nearly sixty years have passed, and you have already become an immortal. This speed of cultivation is truly rare in ancient and modern times."

"The cultivation speed of the two fellow Taoists is not slow, and they are not far from becoming immortals." Jiang Chuan said with a smile.

Chu Wan'er and Chu Qiong'er sensed in Jiangchuan that one was at the eighth level of the Ten Realms and the other was at the sixth level of the Ten Realms.

He estimated that it would take at least fifteen years, and at most sixty years.

The two girls will definitely be able to break through to the eleventh level.

"It's difficult to break through if I go back to the old path. What good is it even if I become an immortal?"

Chu Wan'er sighed softly and then asked, "Fellow Daoist Jiang, you're visiting Yaozhi Island today. You shouldn't just be passing through, right?"

"To be honest, I have been in seclusion to comprehend the cause and effect of fate, and discovered that I have a marriage relationship with your sister Chu Qingyi. I came here today to seek the hand of fellow Daoist Chu Qingyi." Jiang Chuan went straight to the point.

"You want to marry my second sister?" Chu Qiong'er looked surprised.

“Although the saying goes that an elder sister is like a mother, it is not easy for me to be the boss of Qingyi.”

Chu Wan'er spoke again: "I can't promise you, fellow Daoist."

"I wonder if Fellow Daoist Chu Qingyi is on the island now?" Jiang Chuan was not surprised.

"Qingyi is not on the island at the moment. She is traveling through the mortal world seeking enlightenment in preparation for the Tianfu Dao Conference forty years from now."

Jiang Chuan was a little surprised when he heard Chu Wan'er's words.

"There are many cultivators in the Qingyuan Realm now. Even if we participate in the Tianfu Dao Discussion, we probably won't get much Xuanhuang Qi, right?"

"Fellow Daoist, you don't know something."

Chu Wan'er explained, "There are five arenas in Tianfu, corresponding to the eighth, ninth, tenth, eleventh, and twelfth realms."

"The Xuanhuang Qi refined from the Chaos Qi in the Tianfu Great Formation is all stored in the arena. The higher the realm of the cultivator corresponding to the arena, the more Xuanhuang Qi it stores."

"After the Medieval War, millions of years have passed, and the Eleventh and Twelfth Realm Arenas have never been opened. This amount of Xuanhuang Qi is enough to evolve into hundreds of small worlds."

Jiang Chuan finally understood why Yuan Heng Taoist, the reincarnation of a powerful being, the Eternal Demon Lord and Fang Qingting were so eager to participate in the Tianfu Forum.

For the reincarnation of a powerful being, it is very easy to break through the realm as long as enough of the past memories are restored.

But the Daoguo world cannot be obtained out of thin air just by restoring past memories!

"There is so much mysterious energy!" The rabbit's eyes lit up.

Ziyun Patriarch was drooling: "Jiangchuan, you must go to the Tianfu Forum!"

"I will attend the Tianfu Forum."

Among Jiang Chuan’s own Dao Fruit, there are only four small thousand worlds that have not been refined by him.

His Way of Time and Way of the Void are equivalent to the fourth level of the eleventh realm of True Immortal, and his Way of Chaos is equivalent to the third level of the eleventh realm of True Immortal.

In addition, there is the Way of Nothingness, which is just one step away from becoming an immortal, and the Way of the Heart, which is at the sixth level of the Ten Realms.

Theoretically, his Dao Fruit can carry nearly thirteen small thousand worlds!
And it's not just his Daoguo world that needs to grow.

The many magic weapons he has on him have not reached their limits in the Daoguo world.

The biggest difference among them is the Great Sun Divine Bell.

As a magic weapon personally refined by the future Star King Buddha, the Great Sun Divine Bell can theoretically devour hundreds of small thousand worlds without any problem, but its current inner world is only the size of six small thousand worlds.

As long as he can obtain enough Xuanhuang Qi in the Tianfu Forum, his strength will immediately increase several times!
After deciding to attend the Tianfu Forum, you inquired about the whereabouts of Chu Wan'er and Chu Qingyi.

Chu Wan'er said she also didn't know Chu Qingyi's whereabouts.

Before leaving Yaozhi Island, Chu Qingyi only told her that she wanted to travel the world and cultivate enlightenment.

[However, Chu Qingyi gave Chu Wan'er a talisman to contact her.]

[Under your gaze, Chu Wan'er took out a yellow paper talisman, lit it, and contacted Chu Qingyi, saying that fellow Daoist Jiangchuan had something important to discuss with you.]

[Chu Qingyi asks you to go to Pingliang City of Wu State, located at the border between the Southern and Western Regions, to look for her.]

[After learning of Chu Qingyi's whereabouts, you immediately set off for Pingliang City in the Wu Kingdom.]

After arriving in the Southern Region, you inquired and learned about the Wu Kingdom's Pingliang City. Then, you used the Earth-Shrinking Technique to arrive in Pingliang City.

The city wall is majestic and the ancient bricks are mottled. After thousands of years of vicissitudes, it still stands tall and majestic.

Above the city gate, there is an old plaque engraved with the three big characters "Pingliang City", as if telling the past glory and difficulties.

Jiangchuan walked into the city through the gate. The entire city was filled with caravans from all over the world.

The sound of camel bells, shouting, and the clatter of horse hooves hitting the floor merged into a noisy melody.

clang!
Along with the sound of the gong, a loud roar was heard.

"When the statue of Water Moon Bodhisattva enters the temple, pedestrians must give way!"

Jiang Chuan looked in the direction of the sound and saw a huge statue of Bodhisattva carried by sixteen strong men, being carried in through the city gate.

The statue of Bodhisattva holds a treasure vase in his hand, with a full moon in his mind. His expression is dignified and peaceful, which makes people want to kowtow to him subconsciously.

The pedestrians around were also talking about it.

"This is the third time the Water Moon Bodhisattva statue has been placed in the temple this year. I wonder how long it will take before someone destroys it?"

"Maybe the group of demon cultivators will take action tonight."

"If that's the case, there's going to be some fun tonight."

Patriarch Ziyun shook his tail and said, "I remember that Water Moon Bodhisattva is the founder of Water Moon Temple, and Water Moon Temple is a faction affiliated with Bodhi Temple. Jiangchuan, it seems that Water Moon Temple is in trouble in this temple. Do you want to help?"

"It's nothing more than a little friction between one of the six sects of the Demonic Path and Shuiyue Temple. The people who showed up are at most cultivators of the fifth or sixth realm. I have no interest in bullying the weak."

Jiang Chuan didn't find it strange. A border area like this where two domains intersect could be the power of the Demon Sect or the power of Shuiyue Temple.

It is not surprising that the two sides engage in some disputes.

As you walk along Pingliang City, you'll feel the long-lost atmosphere of everyday life, which makes you feel nostalgic.

After walking through street after street, you finally come to a small lake.

[In front of the small lake, besides a group of people having fun, there is also a woman fishing.]

The woman was dressed in green, sitting on a big rock by the lake, fishing with a fishing rod in her hand.

Her face seemed like a work of art meticulously crafted by God, with soft yet distinct lines.

Her black hair fell to her waist like silk.

Although she lives in the mortal world, she is like a fairy in the clouds, with an otherworldly temperament flowing between her brows, clear and intelligent.

Sensing Jiang Chuan's arrival, the woman turned around, her lips curled up: "Fellow Daoist Jiang, do you want to go fishing together?"

"it is good."

Jiang Chuan raised his hand and his magic power turned into a fishing rod and fell into his hand.

He came to the woman, sat cross-legged, and threw the fishing rod into the lake.

"Are the fish in this lake delicious?" It seemed as if the appetite of Old Ancestor Ziyun was aroused.

"I don't know." Chu Qingyi replied.

"Aren't you fishing? How come you don't know if it tastes good?"

"I haven't caught any fish in these three days."

"."

Jiang Chuan looked sideways slightly. He didn't expect that he, Chu Qingyi, was actually the legendary 'fisherman who couldn't catch any fish'.

The rabbit looked at Chu Qingyi and said, "The way of nature is to let nature take its course. It's not a bad thing if you can't catch anything."

"I'm not practicing the Way of Nature. Before, it was the Way of the Sword. Now I don't know what it is."

Chu Qingyi smiled faintly, like an iceberg thawing and a snow lotus blooming, brilliant and beautiful.

"I don't know what Tao is?"

Jiang Chuan was stunned: "Is there something wrong with Fellow Daoist Chu's enlightenment?"

"It's not that there's a problem, it's just that there's one thing I haven't figured out."

"What's the matter?"

　I'm a bit stuck, so there are a few hundred words missing, please forgive me
