Chapter 678 The Question of Stillness Reveals a Chaotic Landscape (Part 2)

Jiang Shouchang was still muttering to himself, and Li Shouchang wished he could strangle this master of the Void Step technique.

Who is Huang Tiandao?

That was our sect's founder, who stood at the pinnacle of the ancient times and was considered an Earth Immortal.

Speaking ill of him behind his back might attract some mysterious influence and lead to a fabricated charge against him.

It doesn't matter if Jiang Shouchang goes to guard the gate; Li Shouchang is used to living a carefree life.

After much persuasion from Su Che, Li Shouchang finally relented.

"I'll show you the gate a hundred years from now. With your foul mouth, you're the root of all trouble."

Li Shouchang said with exasperation, "I've already sent you to Zhixin Temple, Lu Chuan. I didn't mean to, do you really want to be sent to the alchemy room to do hard labor before you're done, huh..."

"Alright, the Patriarch is magnanimous, why would he care about us? If you cover my mouth, doesn't that mean you all think he's petty?"

"shut up!"

Seeing that they were about to fight again, Su Che quickly stepped forward and separated the two.

“My two senior brothers, please listen to my advice. This matter originated from me. In terms of the cause and effect, the fault lies entirely with me.”

Su Che knew that these two were longtime friends and would never hold such a grudge over such trivial matters.

"Look at Junior Brother Su, now that's what you call knowing how to talk."

Li Shouchang said irritably.

"Senior brothers, our patriarch has instructed us to make a name for ourselves in the Blood River Realm. What are the plans?"

Su Che quickly steered the conversation back to the main topic.

Lest these two chatter away and a decree suddenly descends from the heavens, punishing them to burn in the alchemy furnace for several years.

"I have also read through the sect's scriptures about the Blood River Realm. It is the dojo of the Mighty and Fearless Heavenly Demon King. Although it can be considered a world, it has long been corrupted by the Heavenly Demon Law."

Jiang Shoucheng said solemnly.

“When we get there, we still need to be extremely careful. Junior Brother Su, I remember you also made an agreement with the fellow Daoists of Shenxiao Dao, saying that several of them would act together?”

"Yes, and the East Sea Sword Palace as well."

"That's it."

Jiang Shoucheng nodded.

"Since we're going to act together, let's follow Shenxiao Dao."

“Those bastards from the Divine Firmament Sect, hehe, they’re so arrogant.”

Li Shouchang shook his head.

"I think we should go in quietly. Doesn't the Celestial Masters sect think that place belongs to them? Let's teach them a lesson this time."

"Why are we going against the Celestial Masters sect?"

Su Che was somewhat curious about this question.

Logically speaking, everyone belongs to the same lineage of Xuanmen and worships the same Supreme Dao Ancestor. In terms of origin, they all branched off from the ancient Heavenly Court.

The former leader of Huangtiandao and the patriarchs of Tianshidao all came from the same organization. Even if Shenxiaodao and Tianshidao had some conflicts brought from the ancient Heavenly Court, where did their grudges with Huangtiandao come from?
"In terms of reputation."

Li Shouchang said with great confidence, "Our Yellow Heaven Way reveres the Yellow Heaven and aims to establish a peaceful Yellow Heaven world. Their Celestial Master Way, on the other hand, wants to be the teacher and ruler of Heaven. Isn't that just making things difficult for us?"

"It's not that simple."

Jiang Shoucheng said with great certainty, "First of all, we are of the same ilk as the Celestial Masters Sect, and we cooperate quite a bit on a regular basis, just not as much as we do with the Divine Firmament Sect. Secondly, a mere title is just a superficial appearance; the real conflict has other reasons."

"Ok?"

Su Che looked at Jiang Shoucheng, wondering what profound insights this senior brother had to offer.

"Any conflicts are just old news from back then."

Jiang Shoucheng recounted the story in detail.

Since the destruction of the ancient Heavenly Court, the three major clans have gradually accumulated strength and eventually left the mortal realm to establish their own dojos in the void.

As their strength increased, Huangtiandao and Shenxiaodao gradually began to consider relocating.

In other words, they would take the creatures of this world with them and set off for the outer void to find another world where they could survive.

The plan was still in the works, but the Celestial Masters Sect, which was originally one of the three sects that shared the same ambition to leave, suddenly changed its mind.

These bastards actually refused to leave, feeling that the time and conditions weren't right. According to Huang Tiandao and Shenxiaodao, that time would never come.

Those degenerate beings beyond the realm, who will listen to your commands? Since you've decided to leave, then go all in. Go all in, even if you just sit here counting the days, you won't be able to leave in ten thousand years.

This delay has led to new changes.

Xuandu Palace, which had initially offered some support to the three companies operating outside the territory, suddenly felt that staying was the right thing to do after absorbing some intellectual achievements from outside.

They wanted to learn from other worlds, transform this place, and take it with them on their journey.

This is considered utter nonsense by the Shenxiao Dao and Huangtian Dao.

The sect leads its members on the journey. As long as they create a void that can sustain human life and identify their target, they can simply go there at top speed.

How long will it take you to transform this world? You will also need to keep moving forward in the void.

Is it really true that if a new Dharma-ending Lord comes along, he will slaughter his entire family and fight his way through to the end?
Moreover, not all living beings deserve to be saved.

Those bald monks in the west, those demon cubs in the north and south, and those monsters in the East China Sea.

Why can't we just leave them here to rot?

This delay actually brought about changes.

Now, even if the three families wanted to leave, they couldn't.

Can't leave?
Upon hearing this, Su Che was at a loss for words.

"Our Lesser Pure Void Realm is already mature, so we should just leave. Why worry about so many things? Why can't we leave?"

"I do not know either."

Jiang Shoucheng shook his head.

"Since then, the founder has only sent senior members of the sect to lead several groups of disciples to move to the new location. I heard that a few branches have been established outside, but on the whole, the sect has no intention of making any moves."

"Does our sect have branches outside?"

"Yes, it's not just us, the other three companies have it too."

When Su Che thought of the Northern Mang Ghost Ancestor who had returned from beyond the realm, he always felt that there was something he couldn't quite put his finger on.

Something just doesn't feel right.

"Because I am bound by cause and effect."

Li Shouchang added a sentence.

Jiang Shoucheng frowned: "That's all nonsense."

"Who cares if there are chickens or not?"

Li Shouchang looked at Su Che and added.

"In the ancient times, the primordial demons and gods wreaked havoc, Junior Brother Su, do you know that?"

"know."

"The ancient demon gods are immortal and indestructible, and what they possess and corrupt are the various laws. Therefore, the laws of this world have essentially been tainted by the primordial demon gods. In other words, the laws that you and I cultivate, hehe..."

"That's where the absurdity lies."

Jiang Shoucheng retorted, "Since the birth of the Five Emperors of the Five Directions, all the great powers have long since stripped away and sealed away the primordial demon gods. If the laws were still corrupted by them, you and I would never have been able to attain enlightenment today."

"correct."

Su Che nodded.

There is a fundamental cause-and-effect relationship here.

If the primordial demon gods corrupted the laws, then they could not possibly be sealed away, because they themselves were the laws.

The seal itself signifies that the pollution from the primordial demon gods has been removed.

"If the ancient Heavenly Court had not been destroyed, that much is certain."

Li Shouchang then added.

"But unfortunately, the ancient Heavenly Court perished, and the world collapsed. In that state, how did Xuandu Palace manage to stabilize this world again?"

"The ancient Heavenly Court attempted to recreate the world by manipulating the laws of nature. When they messed things up, the laws collapsed along with them. How did the Xuandu Palace manage to do that? How many Earth Immortals and powerful beings did they have to fill in to maintain the world's immortality?"
