My cultivation is too warm

After Zixiao Daozun finished speaking, ripples appeared in the void in front of Xu Mo, and then the gate of the void opened, and his figure walked out from the gate of the void.

After he came over, he gave Xu Mo a friendly smile and asked, "Have you figured it out?"

Xu Mo nodded. He probably understood that the Cang Gu Dao Alliance was trying to form alliances.

Differentiation, alienation, and winning over finally formed an interest group centered on the ancient world.

The dispute between civil and military officials just happened to coincide with the implementation of this strategy in the Canggu world. After all, Canggu had only opened the door to the world during this period. It can be inferred that this strategy was also implemented recently.

Therefore, the dispute between civil and military can only be regarded as a coincidence. Canggu does not mind what method is used, he just needs a reason, even if the reason is not very effective.

As long as a breakthrough point can be found, letting them start arguing, and then Canggu can fan the flames from behind and add fuel to the fire. Once they start fighting, it will leave a thorn in their hearts, and then a breakthrough can be made slowly.

After Xu Mo figured out the reason, he suddenly remembered that since the dispute between civil and military was the strategy behind Cang Gu, wouldn't the dispute between sweet and salty that he had just proposed disrupt Cang Gu's plan?
But just now, Taoist Zixiao said that he had helped a lot, and obviously did not blame himself, or did he say that the sweet and salty dispute he raised just happened to inadvertently help the strategy of the Cang Gu Taoist Alliance?
What's going on here?

Facing Xu Mo's doubts, Zixiao Daozun chuckled and asked, "Don't you understand?"

Xu Mo nodded honestly. This was too much of an overestimation of him. He had just heard about Cang Gu's strategy from the other party. He had not yet understood everything and did not have a God's perspective to know the details. How could he figure it out?
That must be confusing.

Seeing the helpless look on Xu Mo's face, Zixiao Daozun laughed and explained: "I told you before that the effect of the civil and military competition was better than expected."

"In our Canggu world, because of our rules, those from other alien worlds can still restrain themselves when arguing. But outside of Canggu, in the other worlds of the Endless Heavens, they don't have to follow the rules so much and can express their opinions as they please."

Xu Mo was slightly stunned when he heard this, then he looked at Zixiao Daozun hesitantly and asked, "Could it be that they really started fighting?"

Daoist Zixiao nodded and said with some emotion, "It's not just a fight. They've already had several large-scale battles because of this. Many weaker forces have been destroyed because of this. Even we were shocked when we heard the news."

When Xu Mo heard this, he subconsciously took a breath and shouted in disbelief: "No, do you have to be so exaggerated?"

Daoist Master Zixiao sighed in bewilderment, and said with a complicated tone, "It's actually quite exaggerated. We didn't expect this either."

Xu Mo looked confused. "Just because of a small dispute, a big fight broke out. What were they thinking? It's a bit incomprehensible."

Daoist Zixiao shook his head. "Actually, if you think about it carefully, it's understandable. After all, in the endless universe, not every world has its own order like our Cang Gu."

"In many worlds, the only order is that the strong are respected. To put it bluntly, there is no order at all. Moreover, cultivators are naturally free to follow their hearts and pursue the freedom of thought. In a world without order, this will be infinitely magnified. This is especially true for powerful people who are accustomed to having only their own will around them and naturally cannot tolerate other opinions."

"Among them, there are many lawless demons and evil people. The demons in the Endless Heavens are different from those in Cang Gu. They are truly evil to the extreme. It is normal for them to kill an entire family, destroy a clan, or even a city just because of a displeased look."

"For people like them who are lawless and tyrannical, if they say they like something and you say it's not good or you don't like it, then they'll kill you. It's a very normal thing to do, just like a person needs to eat and drink water every day. It has become a habit and instinct for them."

"Ah this..." Xu Mo was stunned.

Yes, staying in Cang Gu for so long almost made him forget the essence of the cultivation world. For those worlds where the strong are respected, this seems to be normal.

We are all people who do what we want. Isn't it normal for us to kill or set fire to something when we are unhappy?
What's more, Cang Gu is fanning the flames behind the scenes. How can the anger be suppressed?

After seeing Xu Mo's expression of enlightenment, Zixiao Daozun continued to explain the reason why he had said that he would help so much:

"It's precisely because the effect of this civil-military struggle was so great, far exceeding our expectations. It caught us off guard and we don't know how it will end."

"We don't care if they kill us outside of Cang Gu, but it would be bad if this war spreads to our Cang Gu world."

"Based on the current situation of the quarrel between the civil and military forces in Cang Gu, it could really get out of control and eventually turn from a joking argument into a real bloody incident."

"After all, it's easy to fan the flames, but hard to put them out. After discovering this trend, we were thinking about how to suppress it. The question of sweet and salty tastes you raised just happened to divert people's attention."

"And now the entire ancient world is in chaos because of the sweet and salty taste issue. The war has spread from the aliens in the outer space to our native creatures. But with your little episode, we now have an idea of ​​how to resolve this situation."

"So, my dear child, you are truly the lucky star of our Canggu World. Just like your father, you always bring us some surprises."

Taoist Zixiao looked at Xu Mo with a loving face. It was really worth it for him to recognize Wuyou as his "grandson" at the Shennong Conference.

Facing the praise from Taoist Zixiao, Xu Mo scratched his head. Could he say that this was not a coincidence?

After all, he proposed the sweet and salty dispute in order to resolve the dispute between civil and military officials. Now it just happened to solve the urgent problem of the Cang Gu Taoist Alliance, which can be considered a good thing.

However, although Xu Mo was proud in his heart, he still had to be humble. He repeatedly said that it was just a coincidence and that not disrupting the deployment of the Cang Gu Taoist Alliance was the best result for him. As for the credit, he did not dare to take it at all.

Taoist Zixiao was not surprised by Xu Mo's reaction. After all, he was Wuyou's child, so it was normal. He and his son were both people with noble character and a spirit of dedication, and sometimes they even moved people to tears.

Therefore, Taoist Zixiao did not say much, but just kept this matter in mind silently, remembering what meaningful things Wuyou and his son had done for Canggu. Canggu owed them, and he must remember it.

After that, the two exchanged greetings for a while, and Zixiao Daozun left. He had no business coming here this time. His main purpose was to take this opportunity to see his "grandson" son. He felt that he was getting older and had become sentimental, and he needed to visit his children often to relieve his feelings.

Not long after Taoist Zixiao left, before Xu Mo had time to do anything, Elder Ouyang came to him again.

Elder Ouyang's visit surprised Xu Mo somewhat. After all, he and Qingzhu were currently conducting experiments on the Satisfaction Fruit in their small world. Given Elder Ouyang's status as a master of "Immortal Research," it was virtually impossible to see him until the experiment was completely completed. Researchers are like that; once they get stuck in, they can't get out.

Also because he understood Elder Ouyang's temperament, Xu Mo basically did not visit him during this period, for fear that it would affect his experiment.

After seeing Elder Ouyang coming to visit, Xu Mo hurried forward to greet him.

When Elder Ouyang saw Xu Mo, his icy face immediately melted away. He gave him a friendly smile and asked, "Have you eaten?"

Xu Mo shook his head and replied, "Not yet. You came just in time. I was just about to cook."

Xu Mo was not surprised by Elder Ouyang's attitude. It was not that Elder Ouyang had changed his temperament, nor had he been possessed by another body. In fact, Elder Ouyang still had an expressionless face that looked a bit like a villain and gave people a particularly creepy feeling.

But only when facing Xu Mo, he immediately turns into an ordinary kind old man.

This made Xu Mo a little jealous of "himself". Why? He had been with him for so long under his previous pseudonym, and he had never treated him well. But when his "son" came out, his attitude immediately changed.

However, the reason why Elder Ouyang became like this was actually largely due to Xu Mo himself, or his previous alias.

Because in order to pave the way for this vest and give others the opportunity to pamper "himself", he acted very hard.

Whenever there are other people around, he would beat and scold his "child" and make others feel distressed. Then he would want to protect him like a treasure, fearing that he would get hurt, so as to make up for the "father's love" he lacked.

Elder Ouyang was one of the people who fell into the trap, in order to make his acting more realistic.

Whenever he was wronged, he liked to run to Elder Ouyang. After all, everyone knew that the other party was Wuyou's teacher, so Wuyou didn't dare to go too far.

It was at that moment that Elder Ouyang melted the ice on his face, and whenever he saw himself, he would turn into a kind old man.

After all, he was the child of his favorite student "Wuyou". What would he do if he scared him with a stern face?
After welcoming Elder Ouyang in, Xu Mo was preparing to cook a sumptuous meal to entertain him.

At this time, Elder Ouyang stopped him and said, "Child, please don't be busy for now. I still have research to do, so I won't eat. The main reason I came to you this time is to give you this."

After saying that, he took out a jade slip.

"What is this?" Xu Mo asked curiously after taking the jade slip.

Elder Ouyang replied, "This is the flavor everyone in our research team likes."

"Including those who left earlier and followed your father in research, there are a total of 33,003 people. Yes, I am also one of them."

Then he squinted his eyes and looked at Xu Mo and said, "Since this is tofu pudding made for the research team members, the taste will naturally be decided by us. You don't have to worry about it, kid. Just follow the statistics above."

"Ah, this..." Xu Mo was stunned when he heard this.

I almost forgot, since I raised this question, I have to do the whole show. I have to make a bowl of tofu pudding for the members of the research team in order to fulfill the "Worry-Free Wish".

Elder Ouyang saw his reaction and nodded slightly. Then he said surprisingly, "As expected, the tofu pudding issue wasn't proposed by your father."

Xu Mo almost shuddered when he heard this, but as a veteran actor, he reacted quickly enough and restrained his reaction. He then quickly put on an innocent expression and was about to speak when Elder Ouyang spoke first:
"Although I don't know why you did this, I think you must have your own reasons. I don't want to ask about it. It's just that you are not careful enough. This will leave traces. Compared with your father, you are far worse."

Xu Mo was even more shocked when he heard this, and it felt like he was meeting Elder Ouyang for the first time.

After hesitating for a moment, he asked cautiously, "Senior, what do you mean by that? Isn't my 'father' quite simple? Everyone says he's simple-minded and a truly pure, sincere, and kind person."

Hearing Xu Mo's words, Elder Ouyang curled his lips and said with a wonderful expression: "Is your father simple? That kid has a very complicated mind. That's just what he shows in front of outsiders. He deliberately acts harmless in front of outsiders."

"Other people may not know, but I've been with him for so long, so I know it very clearly."

"Whenever he's alone, he becomes a completely different person. His eyes and expressions are truly fascinating. As someone born in a different era, I can tell instantly from that expression that this is a complex person."

"He seems very insecure, calculating this and that all day long."

"Of course, his disguise is usually perfect and he rarely reveals any flaws. So I guess I'm the only one in the world who knows his true face."

Hearing this, Xu Mo's body trembled slightly, because the information Elder Ouyang gave him was too shocking.

He didn't even know when his last identity was exposed. And if Elder Ouyang knew about it, why didn't he reveal it? Or even tell him?
Just as he was thinking uneasily, Elder Ouyang continued, "So, my child, remember this: your father is not innocent, he is just kind."

"After being with him for such a long time, I can feel that he is a person with a very complicated mind and many little thoughts."

"However, one thing is beyond doubt, that is, he is a rare and truly kind person."
