Mysterious mirror hanging high

"Then it's a deal."

Xiao Shihua agreed with a smile, but the smile was a little forced.

The laws in Heaven are strict. The treatment of lower cultivators cannot be said to be bad, but at best it is not as good as those in the upper realms but better than those in the lower realms. It is worse than those in the demonic realms who have no guarantee at all and rely entirely on luck for their livelihood, but it is far inferior to the righteous ways of the East China Sea and Penglai.

Once the free movement of population is allowed, a large number of lower cultivators will inevitably leave the jurisdiction of Heaven and go to places such as the East China Sea.

Although the Heavenly Court treats talented geniuses very well, it will certainly attract some independent geniuses to settle in the Heavenly Court. However, the resources consumed by the geniuses in their practice are enormous, and they will inevitably need a large number of low-level cultivators to support them.

This means that the number of lower-level cultivators in Heaven must be maintained at a bottom line that cannot be broken, otherwise the increasing number of geniuses joining will become a burden, and the spiritual resources in Heaven's inventory will be insufficient to cover expenses.

"It seems that I have to slightly improve the spiritual resources treatment of the lower-level cultivators." Xiao Shihua thought helplessly.

However, the spiritual resources and treatment that the cultivators from the Heavenly Court receive today were obtained through precise calculations by Xiao Shihua, who gathered a large number of cultivators proficient in mathematics from the [Si Tian Jian]. This ensures that the cultivators from the Heavenly Court will neither completely lose hope in life nor achieve a breakthrough in realm through these spiritual resources.

This will allow them to place their hopes on their offspring, hoping that their sons will become successful and their daughters will become outstanding.

Once the treatment is increased excessively, it is very likely that the cultivators from Heaven will no longer save these spiritual resources for cultivation, look for Taoist partners, and have children, but instead invest these spiritual resources in themselves to improve their cultivation and break through the realm!

That was not the result Xiao Shihua wanted to see.

"How to adjust the spiritual resources of lower-level cultivators? We still need to have the [Si Tian Jian]'s arithmetic cultivators deduce and calculate again..."

Just as Xiao Shihua's thoughts were racing, Jing Yu's expression suddenly changed and he looked down at his [navel].

At this time, countless causal lines, some thick and some thin, spread rapidly from the navel in all directions, and the destinies of countless cultivators from the Heavenly Court were connected with Jing Yu's navel.

Jing Yu carefully comprehended the strange changes just now, and understood in his heart:

"The fate of many cultivators in Heaven has slowly begun to change..."

Just as Xiao Shihua had said before, it was hard to say whether the change in their fate after being demoted to Heaven was good or bad for them, and it might even be worse than before.

But no matter what, [change] has happened.

Xiao Shihua took out a jade slip that had been inscribed long ago from his bosom and handed it to Jing Yu:

"This contains all the secrets about Xiao Guanying...his plans, weaknesses, and even information about his path are all contained within."

Jing Yu took the jade slip and raised an eyebrow: "Why don't you just... What would Xiao Guanying think when he saw this?"

Xiao Shihua said calmly, "From today on, I will be the new Xiao Guanying."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Jing Yu's mind penetrated into the jade slip, and after a moment, he showed a look of shock:

"Hmm? Qiu Dongxuan has escaped? The one currently connected to the Penglai earth veins is his demonic incarnation, Qiu Xuandong?"

"Xiao Guanying has already advanced to the late stage of Spiritual Transformation... I see."

"It seems there's no time to delay."

Jing Yu narrowed his eyes and glanced at Qi Dong who was still unconscious.

"I used the magical power [Xuanjun's Blessing] to grant him a temporary destiny, but in the end, this destiny fostered his inner desires and greed, ultimately bringing disaster upon himself..."

"Blessings and disasters are intertwined... [Blessings] become [Misfortunes]!"

Jing Yu's eyes flashed, and he suddenly had a new idea for the subsequent construction of the magical power of [Questioning the Mirror to Observe Fate Method].

So he murmured:

"Although I don't like you very much...but, that's all."

He waved his robe sleeves, and Qi Dong, who was still unconscious in front of him, disappeared without a trace.

----

After an unknown amount of time, Qi Dong slowly opened his eyes. The dazzling sunlight made him subconsciously raise his hands to block it.

He could hear the sound of waves hitting the rocks, and the humid sea breeze with a salty smell blew in his face. He propped up his weak body and found himself lying on a beach covered with tiny shells.

"I...I'm not dead?"

"Where is this..." Qi Dong looked around in confusion.

Not far away, the gray-blue sea water was rolling with layers of white foam, emitting fine golden light in the sunlight.

When the tide receded, winding lines were left on the wet sand, and several sand crabs scurried across the holes.

Brown algae washed up by the waves piled up on the edge of the beach, and a few seabirds were pecking at the small fish floating in it.

A huge ship was slowly approaching from afar, with the unique logo flag of the East China Sea Trading Company flying on it.

Qi Dong suddenly opened his eyes wide, his heart filled with joy:

"East China Sea... This is East China Sea!"

----

Deep in an unknown thunder prison, thousands of purple lightning bolts were dancing wildly like mad dragons.

Lu Yingzhao sat cross-legged in a pool of thunder. The three-colored petals between his eyebrows had regained 70% of their luster and were now flickering with his breathing.

Liquid lightning plasma surrounded her body, and every drop of falling lightning exploded into a dense electric net in mid-air, constantly striking the immortal palace wrapped in a lightning cocoon beside her.

"Lu Yingzhao, you don't have to waste your efforts! Without the power of the cave heaven, it is impossible to break the defense of the fairy palace!" Ying Jin's resentful voice came from the fairy palace.

Without even raising his eyelids, Lu Yingzhao turned around and summoned several bolts of lightning to hit the immortal palace.

"Old thing, let's see if you can say these words again a thousand years later." Lu Yingzhao said leisurely and calmly.

Suddenly, the void three feet to her side shattered like a mirror.

When Jing Yu appeared on the Taixu ripples, he happened to be confronted by an out-of-control thunder demon.

He suddenly opened his mouth and spewed out a bitter and mysterious light, which actually sucked the thunder evil into his mouth and swallowed it alive.

Immediately, his face turned red and purple lightning flashed all over his body. It took a long time for him to return to normal.

He burped, releasing some lightning, and said admiringly:

"Friend Lu, your way of thunder is becoming more and more profound..."

A smile appeared on Lu Yingzhao's lips: "Your physical body and Dharma body have also made great progress."

whoosh-

A jade slip flew towards Lu Yingzhao and was grabbed by him.

After briefly flipping through the jade slip, Lu Yingzhao suddenly looked up:

"It's time to make peace with Xiao Guanying."

Jing Yu asked, "When do we leave?"

"Now!" Lu Yingzhao said firmly.

"Now?" Jing Yu looked worried. "Have your Three Treasures' essences been completely restored?"

"It's only partially recovered, but it's enough."

"To deal with a late-stage Spiritualization cultivator who has just broken through, there's no need to wait until I'm at my peak to attack."

Lu Yingzhao said calmly, "Go contact Fatty Ye and the Divine Transformation cultivators of the Penglai Orthodox Path... We'll gather in Heaven in an hour!"

"But if you go... who will suppress the Immortal Palace? I'm afraid the old woman will take the opportunity to escape."

"It's okay, just take it with you."

Lu Yingzhao said indifferently, "If Ying Jin dares to leave the Immortal Palace... we can just deal with him all at once, and that would be a good solution."
