Different Daos, No Common Cause!

"Taicang Long Clan?"

Blood Spirit Venerable Mother frowned.

"I remember these guys. They're like troublemakers, their shadows are behind many things since High Antiquity. But they have a powerful figure, possibly Sect Master Sage, backing them up. Otherwise, given the Human Emperor's temperament, he wouldn't have left any future troubles."

What else do you know?

He looked at An Ruyu, the last descendant of the Northern Plains Human Emperor, who seemed to have awakened some kind of bloodline memory, or perhaps the Luoshu contained a warning left by the Human Emperor?

He gradually began to take an interest in this woman.

This chess piece seems to hold a secret beyond their control.

He was not worried that An Ruyu would escape their control.

Throughout history, every holy woman, from her body to her mind, and even her Primordial Spirit, has been under their control. Even if she actively seeks death, she cannot escape.

Among the Twelve Mothers, the one named Netherworld is in charge of the powers of the Underworld and is the one with the greatest chance of replacing the Great Emperor of Fengdu in this Final Tribulation.

Now that reincarnation has not yet begun, all wandering souls will be reborn into the Nine Netherworlds Yellow Springs and the Netherworld Blood Sea. Loading... "I only know that some people are associated with the Taicang Long Clan," An Ruyu said apologetically, "But I cannot know which mother she is."

"Are you deliberately stirring up suspicion among us?" Blood Spirit Venerable Mother said coldly.

"How dare I?"

As she said this, An Ruyu lowered her eyes slightly, but her smile was full of meaning.

"Not long ago, the Netherworld Mother issued a divine decree to the sect, instructing them to take advantage of the Blood River Dao's weakness, breach its mountain gate, and seize the 'Core of the Blood Sea.'"

The Blood Spirit Venerable Mother's eyes flashed with coldness. "With the Underworld about to be unsealed, does She still have the leisure to meddle in the affairs of the Central Plains?"

An Ruyu lowered her eyes, but the Blood Spirit Venerable Mother could understand what this brat was trying to say.

There's absolutely no need for her to stir things up!

The twelve matriarchs of the Incense-Smelling Cult were already fraught with conflict!

Blood Spirit Venerable Mother snorted coldly:

"Let's go, let's go see your little sweetheart."

"Mother, why don't you accompany me for a stroll around the city? Young Hero Guo will be receiving guests," An Ruyu said, changing the subject. "Coincidentally, I've heard that there's a confidante of Young Hero Guo in this city." "Do you take me for a mere mortal who enjoys gossip and drama?" the Blood Spirit Venerable Mother scoffed. She glanced in the direction An Ruyu had been looking and said calmly, "Was that person from the Taicang Long Clan?"

"As expected, nothing can fool the old mother." An Ruyu's face showed admiration. "Unsurprisingly, the Taicang Long Clan has chosen that emperor again in this life, and this time they are probably representing the Great Yuan to recruit Young Hero Guo."

Blood Spirit Venerable Mother frowned, finding it both unbelievable and utterly absurd.

"Back then, Lü Bairen severely damaged not only the Daoist and Buddhist forces in the Central Plains."

"The Taicang Long Clan also suffered heavy losses, and their plans in the Central Plains were completely destroyed. How could they possibly join Lü Bairen's camp again?"

"Are these guys crazy?"

An Ruyu looked towards the city, her voice as soft as a sigh:

"That is why the Human Emperor gradually became estranged from that person."

"You must know, that person was the one chosen by the Human Emperor as the successor to Human Dao from the very beginning..."

After comprehending the True Intention of the Human Dao Fortune, Yu Tunzhou personally returned to Northern Plains and distributed the Human Dao Fortune to Jiang Wenxuan, Liu Qiandao, and others, creating the first batch of refiners of the Human Dao Fortune. During this period, Huntian, with the vision of the Great Sage, had already found a way to divide this wisp of Human Dao Fortune into millions.

Yu Tunzhou discovered that, in addition to the Human Ranking, refining the Human Dao Fortune Human Dao Fortune also temporarily contain it and take on the responsibility of transportation, but this could not be done for too long, otherwise there was also a risk of being contaminated.

After a brief moment of shock, Jiang Wenxuan quickly made a decision to personally escort half of the Human Dao Fortune to Floating Hill Mountain in the Eastern Wilderness.

Although the population of the Eastern Wilderness is far smaller than that of the Northern Plains, it has been implemented for a longer period of time and has already achieved relatively remarkable results.

During this trip, Northern Plains will also establish a complete connection with Eastern Wilderness, laying the foundation for subsequent actions.

Afterwards, both sides will speed up the process and strive to distribute all the Human Dao Fortune as soon as possible.

After refining the Human Dao Fortune, Liu Qiandao, Jiang Wenxuan, and the others also felt the the Unseen call from the depths of the Void.

Therefore, it can be basically concluded that refining the Human Dao Fortune is a necessary prerequisite for entering the Human Emperor's Immortal Heaven!

In everyone's perception, the Human Emperor's Immortal Heaven seemed extremely far away from this world, yet it was returning at an astonishing speed.

As expected...

This must have been done by the royal family!

They could sense the existence of the Human Emperor's Immortal Heaven, and Emperor Tianshun, who controlled the source of Human Dao Fortune, naturally had no reason not to sense it. "I wonder if the Old Wang sensed the existence of the Human Emperor's Immortal Heaven back then..."

Jiang Wenxuan murmured something and shook his head.

Clearly, even if the Old Wang sensed it, he didn't tell anyone, not even the royal family.

After deducing the situation, everyone concluded that, given the current rate of return, the return of the Human Emperor's Immortal Heaven was not far off.

Meanwhile, the Great Yuan had probably already made preparations to enter the Immortal Heaven and plunder it extensively.

Therefore, they must also act as soon as possible.

Besides their plans for the Northern Plains and Eastern Wilderness, they also need more powerful individuals, and those from the Daoist and Buddhist schools are naturally the best choice.

Unfortunately, the monk Liaokong and others who were originally promoting the New Martial Arts in Northern Plains had already returned to Central Province due to the war with Divine Capital.

Yu Tunzhou immediately took some of the Human Dao Fortune with him and returned to Danyang Commandery in Central Province. Through the Qian Household's channels, he contacted the ancestral temples of various Daoist and Buddhist families.

Upon returning to Danyang Commandery, Yu Tunzhou received information recently gathered by the Qian Household, one of which was shocking.

That is, the Emperor Tianshun, who once joined forces with the Jixia Academy and the Divine Capital Xiao Household to secretly massacre the last bloodline left by the Human Emperor in Northern Plains!

Driven by those behind the scenes, this news has spread rapidly from Central Province to the entire Central Plains. Even though the Divine Capital tried its best to suppress it, it could not stop the spread of the news, and all the major Aristocratic Clan in the world chose to remain silent.

Silence does not always equate to submission.

Upon hearing this news, four words instantly flashed through Yu Tunzhou's mind—

The tide is in my hands!

"It now seems that this war may finally be decided in the Human Emperor's Immortal Heaven."

"Yu Tunzhou," he murmured.

He stood in the courtyard, with Qian Jinqing beside him conveying messages sent back by the various ancestral temples.

The various families have already sent word that they will soon Danyang Commandery to meet with him.

Upon learning that the visitors would be powerful figures from the Daoist and Buddhist schools, both ranked high on the Earth Ranking, Qian Jinqing couldn't help but feel both nervous and excited.

Although the Danyang Qian Household is not small in size, it is still far inferior to these powerful individuals. Any one of them has the strength to wipe out the Qian Household.

This would also be a great opportunity for the Qian Household to connect with the ancestral temples of Daoism and Buddhism.

Just as she was asking Yu Tunzhou for advice on how to entertain the seniors, Yu Tunzhou, who was standing in front of the pond, suddenly turned around, and a gray robe came into view.

The current chapter is incomplete! To view the complete chapter, please exit reading mode! Loading... Yu Tunzhou slowly opened his mouth.

Qian Jinqing followed his gaze and saw a gray-white figure that had appeared at some point. Her eyes flickered, but she didn't say anything and turned to leave.

After she left, Yu Tunzhou spoke again:

"Having returned from the Heavenly Court, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Long Jifeng looked deeply into the distance, recalling his previous agreement with Yu Tunzhou.

"... Something came up, I should have come to see you much earlier."

Long Jifeng said in a hoarse voice,

"My application and that of the clan have been approved. You do not need to join the Taicang Long Clan, nor do you need to be listed on the Six Souls Banner. You can represent the Grand Purity Lineage and form an alliance with my Taicang Long Clan to jointly promote the transformation of heaven and earth!"

Yu Tunzhou shook his head and said, "Is this the generous condition you mentioned last time? Is forming an alliance with the Taicang Long Clan some kind of honor for me? I haven't seen any sincerity from you on this trip."

"If that's all there is to it, you can leave."

"Fellow Daoist, you misunderstand. This is merely the foundation, not a condition."

Long Jifeng explained, "As long as you represent the Grand Purity Lineage and form an alliance with the Taicang Long Clan, the Taicang Long Clan can share all intelligence channels with you, including the Taicang Long Clan's plans and influence in the outer heavens. They can also lend a hand to help the Grand Purity Lineage return as soon as possible."

"That grand mage from your clan who intervened in the Heavenly Court must not be in too good a state right now, right? Our clan can lend a hand."

Long Jifeng softened his tone, keeping a close eye on Yu Tunzhou's expression.

Since the upheaval in the Heavenly Court, the clan has repeatedly used its resources to deduce the specific situation of the Grand Purity Lineage.

However, because it involves that Heavenly Lord of Dao and Virtue, even though the latter has long since disappeared, the clan's foundation can only be deduced from a fragmented piece.

And this angle is no different from their previous deductions.

The Daode Lineage already had a great Divine Ability being reincarnated in the Central Plains, and according to the timeline, it was clearly impossible for it to be Yu Tunzhou.

Therefore, Yu Tunzhou is at most a newly accepted disciple of the Daode Lineage in this world. Why would he be able to provoke that Grand Master to take action in the Heavenly Court?

Could it be that Yu Tunzhou became a disciple of that great mage?

Besides these, there are many other questions that even the Taicang Long Clan could not unravel.

Therefore, the clan decided to make further contact with Yu Tunzhou.

Furthermore, the current Grand Purity Lineage is worth winning over by the Taicang Long Clan. That person is the Grand Purity's chief disciple. Although his true body has long since departed and even the time he has left in this world has been mostly withdrawn, his strength is still not to be underestimated. He belongs to the top tier among Dao Lord.

If it weren't for the sudden change in the Divine Capital, he would have come to win over Yu Tunzhou long ago.

As for the conditions promised by Long Jifeng, Yu Tunzhou remained noncommittal.

In his view, Long Jifeng's words were more like a test.

To probe the current state of the Grand Purity Lineage.

"The Grand Purity Lineage has no need for the help of others," Yu Tunzhou said calmly. "If the Taicang Long Clan is truly sincere, they might as well discuss the current situation in the Central Plains."

Nowadays, Daoism, Buddhism, and the Divine Capital almost completely broken off relations, and the struggles between all sides have been brought to the forefront.

After meeting Long Jifeng, he wanted to try to pull the Taicang Long Clan to the opposite side of the Great Yuan.

Although these guys' stance is unclear, they should be on the same side as them in this matter.

After all, as far as he knew, the Taicang Long Clan had also suffered heavy losses at the hands of that emperor...

"My purpose in coming here today is actually to act as an envoy for the Great Yuan," Long Jifeng said, his voice resolute. "The Taicang Long Clan can guarantee that, if you are willing, Daoist School can become the state religion of the Great Yuan, Grand Purity Lineage will be the master of Daoism in this Daoist School. Besides that, you..."

"Wait..." Loading... "I'm not afraid to tell you, in three years at most, that Dao Lord will rule the Central Plains and take control of Human Dao. Everything is already set in stone!"

"Prior to this, Emperor Tianshun had already merged with the Human Dao Fortune and was about to open the Human Emperor's Immortal Heaven, with many powerful figures assisting him. It's too late for the Daoist and Buddhist sects to make their move now!"

"They cannot stop Emperor Tianshun, just as the Dao Lord of all the realms who have awakened cannot stop the return of that emperor!"

"Yu Tunzhou, you can imagine, three years later, that Emperor returns in the form of the Primordial Unity Dao Lord, who in the world can stop him, who can hinder him? Not to mention that he has already comprehended the mysteries of Human Dao!"

"The entire Central Plains will fall into his hands in an instant!"

"He also Human Dao Fortune. At that time, he will not only achieve the position of High Antiquity Sage Emperor, but he will become the second Human Emperor in the world, leading the Human Race to establish an immortal immortal dynasty!"

"Like Yu Tunzhou, look at the situation clearly, this is the future!"

"The Taicang Long Clan was merely acting in accordance with the prevailing trend."

Yu Tunzhou calmly asked, "Even though he has betrayed you once, you are still willing to forgive him and believe in him?"

Long Jifeng said in a deep voice, "This time is completely different from the past. His goal is no longer to be invincible in the world, but to establish an immortal dynasty. Only my Taicang Long Clan can help him reach this point!"

"If I remember correctly, the fundamental goal of the Taicang Long Clan was reform?"

"Indeed!" Long Jifeng said solemnly, "The purpose of the Taicang Long Clan has always been innovation, to truly place the Human Race at the pinnacle of the world!" "How can we achieve this by joining the Great Yuan?"

"Build an immortal dynasty!"

Long Jifeng rushed on the road.

"The world is now corrupt, the court is decaying, and local Aristocratic Clan and sects are all parasites, but the true source of all this lies with the Immortals and Gods behind the scenes!"

"Only by eradicating them all and establishing an immortal Human Race within ourselves can Human Race forever stand at the pinnacle of the world!"

Yu Tunzhou's eyes were deep as he said:

"What you said last time, the most fundamental conflict between your ancestors of the Taicang Long Clan and the Human Emperor, lies in the treatment of the ancient Immortals and Gods."

"You wish to show leniency to the ancient Immortals and Gods, and to preserve the cycle of reincarnation, so that those immortals Immortals and Gods trapped in the past and imprisoned in the mortal realm may have the opportunity to be reborn and reincarnate into the Human Race, becoming members of the Human Race."

"And now you're telling me you want to eradicate all Immortals and Gods, and have the Human Race establish an immortal dynasty?"

Long Jifeng said calmly, "Times have changed!"

"I see."

At this point, Yu Tunzhou fully understood the true nature of the Taicang Long Clan. Perhaps that ancestor of the Taicang Long Clan was once the closest comrade-in-arms of the Human Emperor, and they once stood on the same side, fighting against a common enemy.

However, they ultimately disagreed on how to treat the ancient Immortals and Gods.

He was unaware of the specific circumstances faced by Human Race at that time, so he could not comment on it at the moment.

However, the current Taicang Long Clan has completely exposed its opportunistic nature.

The fact that the Taicang Long Clan could forget the tragedy of four thousand years ago and befriend their former enemy shows that they had long since lost all their courage and integrity.

Based on this --

All of Long Jifeng's subsequent explanations can be summarized as follows. "In the eyes of the Taicang Long Clan, the Great Yuan Dynasty was unstoppable, and only by joining could they maximize their interests."

But this was never a change.

It is the speculator's weakness.

Yu Tunzhou shook his head and said calmly,

"You are not changemakers, you are just opportunists."

"You may leave. You didn't lay a hand on me last time, so I'll let you off this time too." "As for alliances and cooperation, let's not discuss that again."

"They are not worth associating with."

Long Jifeng's face darkened. He didn't understand Yu Tunzhou's attitude had changed so quickly, but he still suppressed his anger and said:

"Even if you survive the Life-and-Death Tribulation Yu Tunzhou have the backing of that chief disciple of Grand Purity, this is the Central Plains, not the outer heavens. Once the Emperor descends, even that chief disciple of Grand Purity cannot save you!"

"I've heard that you also stole a Human Dao Fortune. Take my advice and return it to the Great Yuan. Human Dao Fortune is of no use to you whatsoever."

"And Emperor Tianshun is not the master of Human Dao Fortune; that emperor is. He has already comprehended the mysteries of Human Dao and is destined to be the master of Human Dao!"

Yu Tunzhou twitched the corner of his mouth, recalling his conversation before entering the Heavenly Court last time.

"What, you want to make another bet with me? If I survive to the end and that Emperor doesn't become the Lord of Human Dao, you'll come looking for me with an unprecedentedly generous offer?"

Hearing the sarcasm in Yu Tunzhou's words, Long Jifeng couldn't help but say coldly:

"Yu Tunzhou, you are ultimately all alone, as for that one in the Great Yuan..."

The conversation abruptly ended.

A vast and indifferent Martial Intention, seemingly the will of heaven, pressed down, causing Long Jifeng's pupils to shrink sharply as he stared intently at Yu Tunzhou. What... kind of Fist Intent is this?

What Dao Path has this child chosen?

Yu Tunzhou stands before the pond, its path as firm as nails and iron:

Those who walk different paths cannot make plans together.

"Don't let Yu say it a second time--"

Long Jifeng was about to speak again, but under that overwhelming and indifferent pressure, which was like the will of heaven, he was horrified to find that his Divine Ability and magic were gradually disappearing.

This prompted him to immediately withdraw, and he only began to feel better after retreating outside the city.

"You'll regret this, Yu Tunzhou!"

Long Jifeng's unwilling voice could be heard from outside the city.

Yu Tunzhou remained calm and transmitted his voice:

"Come here."

Before long, a graceful figure in a white dress arrived, her clothes fluttering in the wind.

Yu Tunzhou's gaze fell on the little girl wrapped in a blood-red robe beside An Ruyu, and he squinted as he examined her.

The latter crossed her arms and was also sizing him up, her gaze cold and scrutinizing.

Yu Tunzhou suddenly spoke, "Avici?"

Blood Spirit Venerable Mother suddenly changed, her eyes turning fierce as she glared at her and said sharply:

"Who are you?!"

The one who can discern one's true identity in a single sentence is definitely not just a disciple of the Grand Purity Lineage in this world!

This person definitely has a serious problem!

Yu Tunzhou, however, had already turned his gaze to An Ruyu.

"The words you wrote on that day, 'Seize the three examinations, slay Tian Shun, and destroy the Xiao family,' were because the lineage of the Northern Plains Emperor was destroyed by Tian Shun and the Xiao family?"

An Ruyu smiled and said, "Did I not disturb Young Hero Guo's meeting with the Taicang Long Clan?"

"It was I who harbored unwarranted expectations of the Taicang Long Clan," Yu Tunzhou said calmly. "The Human Emperor's words are true; they are not worth associating with." "You came to find me, is it for the Human Emperor's Immortal Heaven?"

"Exactly!"

I agree.

"Young Hero Guo doesn't seem to have asked about my purpose yet," An Ruyu blinked.

Yu Tunzhou stood with his hands behind his back and sneered, "Didn't you already say that in your letter?"

"That was a necessary step in supporting Young Hero Guo's ascension to the throne. This time, however, we're entering the Human Emperor's Immortal Heaven. Young Hero Guo, aren't you curious about what's inside the Human Emperor's Immortal Heaven?"

Yu Tunzhou's gaze sharpened, and he said in a deep voice:

"You even know this?"

"Did you learn this from the Luo River Diagram, or are you also a descendant of the Human Emperor... Northern Plains?!"

He didn't think this was a secret the Incense-Smelling Cult could know. The Incense-Smelling Cult didn't even know how to enter the Human Emperor's Immortal Heaven Human Emperor's Immortal Heaven, so how could they know what was happening inside?

He gazed at the beautiful and refined face before him, trying to see through the woman's schemes and illusions beneath that gentle smile.

"Enough!" Loading...
