Encountering Lu Ya on the Return Journey
After taking the green lotus seed, Cihang pondered for a moment and understood Yuanshi's plan.
He couldn't help but marvel once again at the depth of Yuanshi's scheming.
But for Nezha, it meant missing out on a great opportunity.
No matter how good the Green Lotus Body is, it is difficult to enter the innate realm and cannot compare to the original innate body.
However, these are not things he needs to consider.
Having made a promise to Yuanshi, Cihang had no intention of returning.
As a surge of creative power entered, the lotus seed in Cihang's hand quickly regained its vitality.
"Now that the lotus seeds have recovered, the next steps should not be difficult for Yuanshi Daoist Yuanshi!"
Cihang did not continue to urge rebirth, but instead handed the revitalized lotus seeds to Yuanshi.
"Thank you, fellow Daoist. This is more than enough!"
Yuanshi accepted the lotus seeds and bowed in gratitude.
Now that the lotus seeds have recovered, with the Three Lights Divine Water at hand, stimulating their growth is a piece of cake.
Having achieved his goal, Yuanshi took his leave.
Even though Nezha's physical body was still shattered, his primordial spirit could not be diminished for long.
Watching Yuanshi depart, Tongtian couldn't help but let out a sigh.
But in the end, he didn't speak, and instead continued to work with Cihang to deduce the Zhenyun Grand Formation.
The grudges between the Sanqing individuals can only be resolved by themselves; no amount of advice from others will change that.
Let everything take its natural course!
He has done everything he could. If the Sanqing still inevitably reach that point, then it can only be said that it is fate.
After Yuanshi left, no one disturbed the two of them.
However, the deduction of the grand formation was still not going smoothly.
Cihang, thanks to Tongtian's insights, made significant progress in the art of formations.
However, the perfection of the Qi Luck Array is negligible.
Perhaps this great formation was too powerful to survive, or perhaps it was the destiny of the Interception Sect, and the general trend was hard to change.
The grand array of destiny that Tongtian always harbors many hidden dangers.
"Is it really impossible for our Interception Sect to survive this calamity?"
Seeing that the grand formation could not be perfected, Tongtian had no choice but to give up.
At this moment, Tongtian already had a bad feeling, and vaguely glimpsed a corner of the future.
The past is eternal, but the future is full of infinite possibilities.
The defeat of the Interception Sect was merely an evolution of fate, not a predetermined destiny.
Fellow Daoist, since you established your teachings based on the concept of "cutting off," you should know that human will can overcome nature. Why then do you show such a decline in morale?
Seeing the look of dejection in Tongtian's eyes, Cihang couldn't help but offer some words of advice.
"What you say is true, fellow Daoist. This is indeed the way of our Interception Sect!"
But those involved are Tongtian blinded by their own understanding!
"Thank you for the reminder, fellow Daoist!"
Tongtian rose and bowed to Cihang in gratitude.
He established the Interception Sect to educate all living beings, to seek a glimmer of hope, and to survive in dire straits.
Even if the Intercepting Interception Sect is destined to fail, he still wants to fight for it.
Perhaps this is the opportunity that will give him a breakthrough.
He had originally wanted to try to exchange a treasure with Cihang to suppress the fortune, but now he completely gave up.
Cultivation involves competition, and the Interception Sect is no exception; it is inseparable from the concept of competition.
"You're too kind, fellow Daoist!"
Cihang also rose to return the greeting.
In the original timeline, the reason why the Interception Sect ultimately lost was indeed because the other Four Saints joined forces.
But this is not unrelated to his loss of his true self.
The moment Tongtian decided to seal off the mountain to avoid the calamity, the defeat of the Interception Sect was already sealed.
As for this time, Cihang hopes for a different outcome.
Seeing that the grand formation simulation was fruitless, Cihang saw no need to stay.
Now that Tongtian has gained enlightenment, he must have made different arrangements and plans.
As soon as Cihang stepped off Golden Ao Island, he noticed the difference in the East China Sea.
With Tongtian's tacit approval, the Ancestral Dragon has begun to lead the Dragon Clan to reclaim the fortunes of the four seas.
The Dragon Clan was no longer in a state of decline. The boundless fortune of the four seas converged on the Dragon Clan, revealing a flourishing momentum.
Although the Ancestral Dragon has been silent for a long time, his remaining power still exists.
With this return, many powerful figures are observing the situation and have not made a move easily.
This also gave the Dragon Clan an opportunity to develop.
Even Yuanshi, due to numerous restrictions, did not directly take action against the Dragon Clan.
Cihang did not linger in the East China Sea, but planned to continue her travels among the human race.
His cultivation had already reached a bottleneck, and simply ignoring arduous training would have little effect on his improvement.
On the contrary, observing the myriad aspects of life in the outside world can significantly improve one's state of mind.
Although the tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods has begun, it is different from the last one.
The sages were still quite wary of Hongjun.
They dared not act recklessly and followed the rules set by Hongjun.
Since it was only the early stage of the great calamity, everything was still relatively stable.
Ordinary humans were not greatly affected; they continued to strive for survival and reproduction, experiencing the loves and hates of the mortal world.
Cihang concealed her magical powers and merged into the human race.
This also improved his state of mind.
However, as time went by, the human race gradually became rife with undercurrents.
With the assistance of various demons and the Interception Sect, King Zhou did not show any signs of incompetence; on the contrary, he made the Yin Shang Dynasty even more prosperous.
While they were making their efforts, Yuanshi and Jieyin also took action.
Those feudal lords who were originally subservient to the Yin Shang gradually revealed their own ambitions.
These human lords all came from extraordinary backgrounds, so it's normal for them to be ambitious.
However, I hadn't had the chance before.
Now that they have the secret support of many powerful figures, they are naturally unwilling to remain merely as feudal lords. As fellow human beings, how can they not sit on the throne of the Human Emperor?
Unbeknownst to many, conflicts arose among the human race, and King Zhou dispatched his court officials to quell the rebellions.
However, things are not that simple.
With all the feudal lords taking action simultaneously, even though the Yin Shang dynasty was the legitimate successor of humankind, it was difficult to quell all the turmoil in a short time.
King Zhou's abilities were undeniable, yet he still appeared powerless under the overwhelming forces of heaven and earth.
"It's finally starting!"
Although Cihang contacted the ordinary humans affected by the great calamity, she also knew that this was an inevitable trend.
Moreover, he was behind this chaos.
Cihang not only sent disciples into the Yin Shang, but also supported some feudal lords.
The purpose is to gain greater support in this shift in fortune.
Seeing that the entire human race was about to descend into chaos, Cihang also decided to end this journey.
In the future, humanity will be the battlefield for all the gods Heavenly Immortal.
"Senior Cihang, please wait!"
Just as Cihang was about to leave the human race, an urgent voice came from behind.
When Cihang turned around, she saw a handsome young man with an air of nobility.
"Are you Lu Ya?"
Sensing the somewhat familiar aura of the other party, Cihang confirmed their identity.
He was once the crown prince of the demon race, and also the only remaining golden crow in the world.
"This junior is Lu Ya. Greetings, Senior Cihang?"
Lu Ya flew to Cihang's side and respectfully bowed to Cihang.
His encounter with Cihang this time was not accidental; he had gone to great lengths and made countless efforts to find Cihang's whereabouts.
"Young friend, there's no need for such formalities!"
Cihang waved and helped Lu Ya.
Looking at the Golden Crow Prince before her, Cihang's heart stirred, recalling the Karma between the Chaos Bell and the demon race.
