Yuanshi Demands Answers, Change in Attitude
Upon seeing Randeng again, the good corpse's state of mind was only slightly stirred.
The reason he didn't take action against Randeng was because Yuanshi, and also because Randeng had lost the right to be of concern to him.
There is no need for killing to occur because of Randeng.
However, the appearance of the Randeng still brought him some trouble.
Since Randeng knew, Yuanshi would naturally also know that he was preaching here.
Although he knew this missionary work couldn't be kept secret for long, the fact that it was discovered so quickly still surprised him.
However, these things didn't concern him much.
Even if Yuanshi takes some action, he won't target him directly; he'll handle everything himself.
Thinking of this, the benevolent corpse closed his eyes again to comprehend the Dao.
Mount Luojia, Glazed Immortal Realm, is where Cihang awakens from her cultivation.
"Yuanshi, this is really troublesome!"
Although the Good and Evil Two Corpses, act differently, their True Spirit Consciousness is unique; both are Cihang.
Even if separated by billions of miles and time, we share each other's experiences and memories.
Cihang also approved of the decision regarding the benevolent corpse.
Before Cihang could wait long, the heavens and earth suddenly revealed a vast expanse of auspicious purple clouds, accompanied by other auspicious signs.
Nine five-clawed golden dragons pulled a magnificent palanquin, which appeared in the sky above Mount Luojia.
"Greetings to the Yuanshi Sage!"
As the sage descended upon the mortal realm, all the cultivators of Mount Luojia knelt on the ground.
"Welcome to the Yuanshi Sage of Primordial Beginning! We cordially request that you enter the sacred space for a discussion!"
Although she knew that Yuanshi was not a benevolent person, Cihang still behaved very politely.
As long as no immediate action is taken, there is still room for maneuver.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, fellow Daoist!"
Yuanshi also gave Cihang a lot of face.
Although Cihang is not a saint, he is still one of the top powerhouses in the Primordial World.
As for the slight animosity between Cihang and Taiqing, it's not enough to warrant enmity.
Because of the connection with humans, there will likely be many interactions and collaborations in the future.
Cihang politely invited Yuanshi into the Life Temple.
Even the Yuanshi couldn't help but show admiration when he saw the celestial realm.
However, given Cihang's level of attainment and cultivation, it is normal for her to have such a foundation.
"Is there anything I can do to instruct you on this occasion, Your Majesty?"
As Cihang laid out the spiritual fruits, she asked Yuanshi a question.
He discovered that he hadn't consumed many of these spiritual fruits himself; instead, he had used them all to entertain guests.
The visiting cultivators were of extraordinary status, and ordinary spiritual objects were too much for them to handle.
"Fellow Daoist, you are asking a question you already know the answer to."
I never expected that you, my fellow Daoist, would reject me and the Witch and Demon Clans, and instead favor those two from the West.
Fellow Daoist, do you not know that we, the Sanqing, are the true lineage of the Primordial World
Although Jieyin and Zhunti are saints, they are ultimately following unorthodox paths. Jieyin and Zhunti Daoist, do not stray onto the wrong path!
Yuanshi's voice instantly turned cold.
He was dissatisfied with Cihang's preaching in the south, and even more dissatisfied that he had chosen the west.
Could it be that in his eyes, he, a descendant of Pangu, was inferior to these the Two from the West?
"Please calm your anger, my sage. I had no such intention."
I did not formally become a disciple that day; I merely understood the path I was on, without any intention of seeing things clearly.
As for having a positive view of the West, that has never been the case!
Cihang only just realized that this incident reminded Yuanshi of his previous unpleasantness.
But this time, Yuanshi really misunderstood him.
"Since that's the case, fellow Daoist, why don't you explain to me why you want to help spread the Dao in the West?"
You should be aware of the rivalry between the Sanqing and the West!
Do you really want to become enemies with us, the Sanqing?
Yuanshi was still waiting for Cihang's explanation.
"Cihang naturally had no such intention, nor was she qualified to do so."
Now that the sage has come, he should have some understanding of my Red Lotus Path.
Although it originated in the West, it is somewhat different.
The reason for acting in this way is primarily for the sake of the good corpse's cultivation.
Cihang didn't want Yuanshi to misunderstand, so he decided to continue his cultivation in the East.
As for revealing one's own schemes, it's really nothing.
In this Primordial World, what is truly hidden?
There were even some schemes and calculations that both sides were fully aware of, and it was a contest between them.
"What courage! Fellow Daoist, you dare to consider yourself a saint despite only being a quasi-saint. I have to admire that."
"I'm afraid it's not just Jieyin and Zhunti, but even the Sanqing like us are part of your scheme!"
Yuanshi looked at Cihang with a complicated expression.
In fact, he had long suspected Cihang's purpose, but he simply refused to believe it.
Although it was only a difference of one realm, which Quasi-Saint in the Primordial World didn't treat them with utmost caution?
But Cihang was different; he not only schemed against the saints, but also more than one.
Taiqing, Nuwa, Jieyin and Zhunti.
At this moment, even Yuanshi was somewhat unsure whether he was part of Cihang's scheme.
"The Sage overestimates Cihang. With Cihang's cultivation level, how could she possibly outwit the Sage?"
Cihang does this, but only for the sake of spiritual practice.
All of this has always been under the control of the sages!
Cihang gave a wry smile.
He seems to have many schemes up his sleeve, but who can he really hide them from?
In reality, everything was a calculated scheme, and everyone was risking their lives.
Success naturally leads to a great leap in cultivation and strength, but one wrong step could lead to utter ruin.
Other cultivators envied his progress in cultivation, but they had no idea of the dangers involved.
"Why are you in such a hurry, fellow Daoist? With your talent and comprehension, you will one day reach the peak."
The path to sainthood is blocked, but there is no problem in attaining the position of Sub-Saint!
Cihang's words deeply moved Yuanshi.
Putting aside personal emotions, Cihang's devotion to the Tao is truly admirable.
If he were in a different place, he might not have been able to do what Cihang did.
"On the path of cultivation, one must strive to be at the forefront at every step; to stand still is to fall behind."
Do you, sage, still remember that I originally did not possess such qualifications or origins?
All of this I have today is something I earned step by step!
Cihang's spiritual practice seemed to be going smoothly, but only he himself knew the dangers and hardships involved.
Ever since awakening her memories, Cihang has felt an urgent need to improve her cultivation.
Moreover, his goal was not to become Sub-Saint, but Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal.
"I understand what you mean, fellow Daoist."
However, playing against a sage is not that simple.
I may not stop you, fellow Daoist, but the Lotus Flower Mountain lineage must not set foot outside the Southern Heaven!
Yuanshi made a compromise first, but also added a restriction to Cihang.
"Yes, the benevolent corpse will not preach outside of Tiannan."
But I can't guarantee anything else!
Cihang did not feel dissatisfied. Even without Yuanshi's restrictions, he would not have spread his teachings on a large scale.
He didn't want to get involved in the conflict between the saints and the witches yet; the southern lands were enough for him to develop in a short time.
As for the future, if he truly achieves something, it is not something that Yuanshi can limit.
Seeing that Cihang readily agreed to his restrictions, Yuanshi's attitude softened.
The Yuanshi One was originally there to hold people accountable.
But as I talked with Cihang, I actually came to appreciate Cihang more.
The knot in my heart left over from my previous apprenticeship has completely dissipated.
He had no prior grudge against Cihang.
As for spreading the word, although he said he didn't have high hopes for Cihang, he still hoped that Cihang would succeed.
If they were to be defeated by Cihang, Jieyin and Zhunti would also lose face completely.
