Kunlun Mountain, Yuxu Palace.
Above Cloud Bed, Primordial Heavenly Venerate closed his eyes and wandered around, as if he was in harmony with the way of heaven.
The hall is filled with fresh air and everything is silent.
At the moment when Randeng and Spirit Vulture Mountain knelt down in front of Zhunti, Primordial Heavenly Venerate's fingers on his knees moved ever so slightly, as if they plucked the invisible string of Karmic Cause and Effect.
The pair of tightly closed eyes did not open, but somewhere in the dark, a vast, cold, and indifferent will penetrated Endless Void and "looked" in the direction of Spirit Vulture Mountain.
He saw the flickering lights in Randeng's cave, and saw the struggle and fear on Randeng's face that eventually turned into fanatical determination.
I saw him kneeling in front of Zhunti, and saw the diffuse Nirvana Buddha Light.
A trace of extremely indifferent coldness flashed across Primordial Heavenly Venerate's ancient and calm face.
"Randeng... As expected, my heart goes to Western Lands."
'A person who is short-sighted and forgets his righteousness when he sees profit.'
A trace of evaluation emerged in my heart, with a condescending look down on me and disdain.
In the eyes of Primordial Heavenly Venerate, Randeng's Daoist heart, entanglements, and choices are just a farce that has long been destined.
But then, this coldness turned into a deeper indifference.
"Now that this traitorous spirit has arisen, it will be useless to leave it alone, and it will become a disaster."
"Western Lands is barren, and all he wants is luck and talent.
It's a good deal to use these people who are weak-willed and cut off on their path in exchange for Jieyin and Zhunti to use their full strength in the Investiture of the Gods killing calamity to jointly defeat Zhu Xian Sword Formation and destroy the Interception Sect orthodoxy..."
Primordial Heavenly Venerate's thoughts are as cold and ruthless as the execution of heaven's law.
The defection of Randeng has long been part of his deduction. It was even part of the tacit agreement between him and Two Sages of the West!
He is Cause of All Fruits. Without His acquiescence or even secret promotion, how could Zhunti's Buddha's light be able to so easily block His deterrence against Randeng?
Randeng How can you have the courage to rebel?
On the chessboard of Primordial Heavenly Venerate, the value of Randeng has been determined.
Primordial Heavenly Venerate no longer pays attention to Spirit Vulture Mountain's humble surrender, and his mind sinks back into the heaven Dao Xuan.
It was as if it was just an insignificant speck of dust, drifting to where it should go according to a predetermined trajectory in the torrent of catastrophe.
His gaze cast further in the direction of Golden Ao Island, Biyou Palace shrouded under Zhu Xian Sword Formation Killing Intent.
"Tongtian... Your tradition, your luck, your Opportunity for Transcendence...
In this calamity, you should all become my Yuxu Palace's further resources!
Randeng, it's just a... stone that cracks open your turtle shell."
In the Yuxu Palace, the air was still fresh, only the fingertips of Primordial Heavenly Venerate, an invisible wisp of Karma Thread, quietly tied to Western Lands.
Western Paradise, Eight Treasures Merit Pool.
Daoist Jieyin still looked miserable and recited scriptures silently.
Daoist Zhunti's Divine Sense has returned since Spirit Vulture Mountain, with a smile on his face that shows he is full of wisdom.
"Brother Dao, Randeng, this son has entered my urn." Zhunti Divine Sense said with a hint of amusement.
Jieyin nodded slightly, without raising his eyelids, and said with a dull voice, "Shan. This son is your guide, Yuanshi's promise should be stronger.
Investiture of the Gods After the robbery, my Western Teachings door to the east is opened by this son. However..."
Jieyin paused, but his tone remained calm. "The chess pieces are still chess pieces, just use them, don't show your sincerity.
If his heart is not pure and his ambition is not strong, even if he gets the Past Buddha position, it will be difficult to prove Unsurpassed Bodhi.
When the calamity has passed and it is used up... then let him be."
"What brother Daoist said is absolutely true." Zhunti nodded and cast his gaze to the east, as if he saw the scene of Blood Rain xing wind and Great Prosperity of the West in the future.
"Interception Sect collapsed, Shang Dynasty orthodoxy overturned, the destiny of the East diverted to the west...
This is the biggest opportunity for our religion since Create Heaven and Earth!"
The two Western Lands saints stopped talking, Eight Treasures Merit Pool the water rippled, reflecting the disillusionment of the heavens, and Nirvana Buddha Light the circulation continued.
Spirit Vulture Mountain Inside the cave.
Daoist Randeng is still kneeling on the ground, his heart is surging and he can't control himself.
He felt that he finally broke free from Invisible Shackles and saw the real dawn of the road!
The feeling of Nirvana Buddha Light blending into his original flame is so wonderful and so fitting!
He raised his head and looked at the solemn Zhunti, his eyes full of enthusiasm and gratitude. "Disciple Randeng, thank the saint for his preaching and enlightenment!
Disciples must wait for the opportunity and find the most suitable opportunity among Investiture of the Gods Tribulation to break away from Yuxu and return to Western Paradise!"
"Good!" Zhunti nodded with a smile and stretched out his hand to help.
"Since you are devoted to my teaching, you are my Buddhist Sect Past Buddha in the future!
Here Karmic Cause and Effect has his own poor ways and Brother Jieyin to take care of him.
You can calmly cultivate quietly and realize the true meaning of cessation. When the time comes, the law will come."
After saying that, Zhunti's figure, together with the vast Tao Yun of Nirvana, slowly dissipated in the cave like water waves.
There is only one sentence left that echoes in Randeng's heart!
"Destruction is not the end, but the beginning of new life. Light the lamp in your heart and illuminate the eternal night. The other shore... is right before your eyes."
In the cave, thousands of lamp flames not only did not dim after Zhunti left, but instead burned brighter.
Randeng slowly stood up, feeling the throbbing in his body that was closely connected to the Western Lands avenue. He looked in the direction of Kunlun Mountain, his eyes were complex, showing relief, ambition, and a hint of anxiety about the unknown fate.
But in the end, everything turned into determination.
Randeng sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and the aura around his body gradually merged with Nirvana Buddha Light in the cave.
He is waiting, waiting for the "opportunity" to escape from the prison and throw himself into a new life.
Zhaoge, Longde Hall.
The morning light penetrated the carved window lattice and reflected on Di Xin's tall and straight figure like a pine tree.
He was dressed in Xuan Duan's regular clothes, his crown was neat and tidy, and there was no trace of the past hazy drunkenness in his eyes, only the clarity that was as sharp as an eagle and a falcon remained.
The atmosphere in the palace was solemn, the ministers held their breath, and the air was filled with long-lost determination and... a trace of uneasy expectation.
"Fei Zhong, You Hun!" Di Xin's voice was not loud, but it sounded like gold and iron, clearly striking everyone's heart.
"You have seduced your Majesty, formed cliques for personal gain, and squeezed out loyal and good people. Your crimes are too numerous to describe!
Immediately, all official positions and titles will be removed, the family property will be confiscated, and he will be sent to a prison where he will await trial by the three divisions and the official punishment!"
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty!"
Fei Zhong and You Hun were instantly as limp as mud, with pale faces. They were guests at the Shouxian Palace last night, but today they have become prisoners.
The faintness in Di Xin that made them so at home seemed to disappear overnight!
The guards, like wolves and tigers, dragged the two people out of the hall, and the screams of mercy suddenly stopped.
Di Xin glanced at the silent ministers and landed on Bi Gan: "Royal Uncle!"
"Old minister is here!" Bi Gan cheered up and straightened his back.
"I will promote you to the rank of Grand Master, take charge of the government affairs, lead the Heavenly Supervisor, and supervise all officials!
I order you to preside over the reform immediately: inventory the land, curb powerful mergers, straighten the administration of officials, and remove incompetent people.
Open warehouses to release grain, use work as relief, and settle the refugees!
Anyone who obstructs the New Deal or violates the rule of law will be severely punished, regardless of whether they are princes or nobles!"
Di Xin spoke slowly, with precise words and unquestionable determination.
Holding the [Chaos Calamity Fortune Profound Yellow Pendant] in her sleeve tightly, the cool breath continued to penetrate into the Di Xin spiritual platform.
Suppress the restlessness and inexplicable violence that surge from time to time, and maintain this rare clarity.
"Old minister... take the order! I will live up to His Majesty's great trust!" Bi Gan Qiqiao's exquisite heart beat violently, and his beard trembled with excitement.
The former Shang Dynasty Human Emperor is really back! Shang Dynasty ZTE may have hope!
"King Wucheng Huang Feihu!"
"The end is here!" Huang Feihu's armor was clanging, he stepped out of the line and clasped his fists, his eyes flashing with light.
"Northern Frontier The war is in a stalemate, and it cannot be decided unless it is a tiger general!
I order you to be the deputy commander-in-chief of Zhengbei, and immediately march northward to assist Grand Master Wen Zhong!
With my decree, all the grain, ordnance, and soldiers needed for the North Sea war must be provided by the state governments along the way. Anyone who delays will be killed!
We must quickly put an end to the Yuan Futong chaos and clear out the North Sea demons!"
Di Xin's gaze penetrated the palace, as if he saw Northern Frontier beacon smoke.
Wen Zhong's army has the help of the Biyou Palace immortal, and with Huang Feihu's unparalleled sharp knife, North Sea's deadlock must be broken!
"The last general obeys the order! I will not destroy the Yuan thieves here, raise your head to see me!" Huang Feihu's voice shook the roof tiles, and the fighting spirit soared into the sky.
Government orders one after another are like the rain after a long drought, washing away the decadence of Chaoge.
The loyal and upright people suppressed by "Daji", Fei Zhong, and You Hun were activated one after another, the backlog of memorials were quickly reviewed, and the reform edicts flew to all directions.
Di Xin stayed awake and reviewed memorials until late at night. The bags under his eyes that were once swollen due to excessive drinking and sex were now replaced by sharpness and exhaustion.
He turned a deaf ear to the sound of silk and bamboo coming from the Shouxian Palace direction.
Occasionally, when the charming figure of 'Daji' approaches, Profound Yellow Pendant will feel a sense of coolness.
Like an alarm bell, it instantly extinguishes the strange ripples in my heart.
"Monster..." Di Xin snorted coldly in his heart. His fingertips ran across the jade on his waist, feeling its mighty power to suppress Tribulation Fortune.
"Nuwa... all the saints... you are plotting against me, but I want to compete with heaven!"
Deep inside the prison, it was bitterly cold.
Fei Zhong and You Hun were huddled in a musty haystack, their former sleek arrogance long gone, leaving only endless fear and despair.
The shadow of family confiscation and genocide wrapped around them like a cold poisonous snake.
Just when both of them were despairing, the sound of heavy iron chains sounded, and the cell door was opened silently.
Di Xin's figure appeared in the dim light, his clothes were like ink, and his face was not clear in the shadow.
There was only one pair of eyes, as sharp as knives, looking down at them coldly.
There are no guards following, only Di Xin.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, spare your life! Your Majesty, please spare your life!" The two of them fell to the ground like dying fish, with tears streaming down their faces, and kowtowed desperately.
Di Xin was silent for a moment, and his voice was so cold that there was no trace of warmth. "For your sin, it will not be a pity to die ten times."
Fei Zhong and You Hun were trembling all over, and despair overwhelmed them like a tide.
"Of course." Di Xin changed the subject, with a sense of indifference that he was in control of his destiny.
"I can give you a chance, a chance... to make meritorious deeds and even regain wealth.
It just depends on whether you have the value and the courage."
The two men suddenly raised their heads, their eyes bursting with an incredible light of survival, like a drowning man grabbing the last piece of driftwood.
"Your Majesty! I am willing to die for Your Majesty! I will go through fire and water, even to death!" The two said in unison, their voices hoarse with excitement.
Di Xin There was a slight arc in the corner of the mouth, which was a coldness that controlled everything. "Very good. Remember what you said today."
Slowly squatting down, Di Xin's eyes fell on the two of them as if they were real. "I need two knives, two knives hidden in the dark, sharp, vicious, and unscrupulous!
Specializing in spying, monitoring, and even... eliminating hidden dangers that are inconvenient to deal with on the surface.
The detailed work of Xi Qi, the giant mouse of Zhaoge, and... every move of the person in the Shouxian Palace!
You guys, do you dare to be the lonely dark blade?"
Fei Zhong, You Hun understood instantly!
Your Majesty is not going to kill them, but to let them do the dirtiest, most dangerous and most trusted job!
From a sycophantic minister to a lonely minister, from a favored minister in the light to a poisonous fang in the dark night!
After the great fear, there is twisted ecstasy!
This is more dangerous than being a favorite, but the rewards can also be greater!
"Dare! Dare the sinner!" Fei Zhong's eyes flashed like a jackal, and he instantly entered the character.
"Your Majesty! Xi Qi does have hidden secrets in Zhaoge. You Hun has made false promises with several of them. Maybe he can follow the clues!
Shouxian Palace... I and others also have ways to set up spies!"
Fei Zhong instantly turned past "bad deeds" into usable capital.
"Your Majesty, don't worry! I will serve as your Majesty's eyes and ears, and as your Majesty's fangs! Secretly clear all obstacles for your Majesty!"
You Hun also immediately expressed his loyalty, with a twisted expression of cruelty and flattery on his face.
