The Cycle Repeats

The cultivators who went out to train were all killed when they arrived in the Great Qian.

This demon is so rampant that it would be extremely dangerous for disciples from the Northern Liang region to travel outside.

Those disciples who haven't yet entered the sect are fine; they aren't cultivators yet, they're just out there gaining experience.

It's not easy for fairies to tell them apart.

However, some cultivators have already entered the Dao, making them much easier to distinguish.

"Before we came, we had already informed the disciples who were out training to return to the mountain. They should all be on their way back by now."

Upon hearing this, the fellow Daoists immediately responded.

Daoist Master Fuqing nodded upon hearing this.

"As for that scheming demon, she must be quite extraordinary. She plotted against us, yet we felt nothing at all. Perhaps she used some tricks to obscure some of the secrets of heaven."

"However, we still need to do some calculations and comparisons. I'll leave this matter to Fellow Guangchengzi."

Daoist Master Fuqing paused slightly at this point, glancing at the fellow Daoist dressed in Bagua robes beside him.

Among the Northern Liang, the other party is the most skilled in divination, so entrusting this matter to them should be the right thing to do.

Upon hearing this, Guangchengzi immediately nodded in agreement, "This is a simple matter, but I'm afraid it's difficult to calculate anything. With my divination skills, even if a demon is plotting against us, I can at least come up with a plan."

"But now I feel nothing at all; even divination would be unable to glimpse the secrets of heaven."

He could make accurate predictions, but the other party could also deceive him.

Once the secrets of heaven are obscured, he naturally cannot calculate anything.

"Yes, that's why this fairy is so unusual; we have to be careful."

Upon hearing this, Fellow Daoist Fuqing sighed.

I've seen several demons before who could deceive the heavens, and each one of them was extremely powerful.

Now, yet another one has emerged, and this one is very likely not one of the previous ones.

"Besides divination, we also need to send out some disciples to gather information. These disciples should be paired up in groups of five to avoid any accidents while gathering information."

"Furthermore, send a few disciples to the capital of Northern Liang to check the situation, lest some demons be eyeing the fate of Human Race Karmic Fortune."

If some demon were to secretly infiltrate and control the royal family of the Northern Liang Dynasty in an attempt to steal the Human Race Karmic Fortune, it would be something that must be guarded against.

For a long time, fairies have been most fond of the Human Race Karmic Fortune.

After absorbing it, the path of cultivation will be virtually unobstructed.

Therefore, even though Daoist Master Fuqing was hearing Zhenke say that there were demons plotting to deal with the Northern Liang, he was still careful to guard against the theft of the Human Race Karmic Fortune.

"Human Race Karmic Fortune."

Upon hearing Daoist Master Fuqing recount this matter, Guangchengzi frowned, then sighed, "If the royal families and noble clans of the mortal realm had treated the common people better, this dynasty wouldn't have only lasted two or three hundred years."

As cultivators, they naturally understood the dynastic changes clearly.

Dynastic changes all stem from the continuous exploitation of the people by those in power. In the beginning, even though the people were exploited, they were still able to survive.

However, the greed of those in power is insatiable, and as exploitation becomes more and more severe, the lives of ordinary people become increasingly difficult.

Then all that was left was a natural disaster, and the people's fields yielded nothing.

Then the riots began.

In order to fill their stomachs, and because they felt that those in power were too rich and heartless, overthrowing them became imperative.

Once the people succeed, another group of rulers emerges, and the cycle begins anew.

This cycle repeats itself endlessly.

Even cultivators like them are powerless to help in this situation.

If such a dynasty could continue to prosper, these cultivators would be content to stay in the mountains, cultivating immortality, discussing the Dao, drinking tea, and gazing at the scenery.

Upon hearing this, all the fellow cultivators present fell silent.

They were aware of the rise and fall of dynasties, but they were truly powerless to change it.

Upon hearing these words, Zhenke's eyes momentarily glazed over.

With dynasties constantly changing hands, is there really no other way?

If it were Senior Fang, would the other party have a solution?

I've heard my master mention the Great Qian Dynasty. Thanks to the blessings of Senior Fang, the Great Qian Kingdom Dynasty has lasted for a thousand years.

I wonder if Senior Fang has the ability to extend the dynasty's reign for a little longer.

"Speaking of this matter, I observed the stars last night and saw that the Purple Tetrarch Star of the Great Qian Imperial Family was as bright as the moon. I calculated carefully and found that the Great Qian Kingdom has a lifespan of a thousand years."

"Fellow Zhenke, how did the Great Qian Dynasty last for so long, and how is the Great Qian Human Race Karmic Fortune so abundant, perhaps the greatest in Human Race history?"

Guangchengzi looked at Zhenke with a strange expression.

Speaking of dynastic changes, this reminded him of the unusual appearance of the Great Qian Purple Tetrarch Star he had seen while observing the stars at night.

After careful calculation, they were even more astonished to find that the Human Race Karmic Fortune in the Great Qian was extremely concentrated.

Such Human Race Karmic Fortune must have been enough to keep the surrounding demons far away, right?

For fairies, the Human Race Karmic Fortune is indeed a great supplement to their cultivation.

However, if it becomes extremely powerful, it can also oppress the fairies, making their cultivation difficult.

When the Human Race Karmic Fortune prospers, the Demon Race within its borders will naturally be squeezed out; the rise and fall of the human race is inevitable.

"A thousand-year dynasty?"

The other fellow cultivators were all taken aback upon hearing this.

The history of the Immortal Sect also records some Human Race dynasties, although they are only mentioned briefly. However, each of these records records how many years the Human Race dynasties lasted.

However, looking at historical records, we cannot find a single dynasty that lasted for a thousand years.

Hearing what Fellow Daoist Guangchengzi said, the other Daoists were naturally taken aback.

If a thousand-year dynasty existed, the cultivators of the Great Qian Dynasty would be able to cultivate in peace!

I just don't know how they managed to do it.

They felt it was unlikely that Human Race could rely solely on its own methods.

"Yes, this matter is all thanks to Senior Fang. If it weren't for Senior Fang, the Great Qian Dynasty would not have lasted for a thousand years."

Upon hearing this, Zhenke immediately responded, and her eyes brightened when she spoke of Zhenke Fang Zelin.

"Oh? I wonder how this Senior Fang managed to do that?"

Since this matter concerns the Human Race Karmic Fortune, Daoist Master Fuqing and the others dared not be negligent and immediately inquired.

If possible, they also hoped that the Northern Liang Dynasty could last for a few more years.

"This matter was accomplished after Senior Fang prayed to Heaven and succeeded. Heaven then bestowed blessings upon the Emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty, thus allowing the Great Qian Kingdom to continue its reign."

There was no point in hiding it, so Zhenke immediately revealed Fang Zelin's methods.
