Chapter 762
Ying Zheng looked at everyone helplessly and said softly:
"Clan Leader, are these great gods in myths and legends real?"
"That is natural, but they are not gods, but great beings of the Immortal World who have engraved their true names in the heavens and worlds..."
"Basically, they all belong to the forces of the Heavenly Court."
Jin Dang smiled and teased:
"In the cultivation world, this is no secret. It doesn't matter if you call them out in such a small world, but you can't do it later."
Having said that, Jin Dang glanced at the Ice God and said in a low voice:
"Elder Barnabas comes from Shushan. Shushan is a top cultivation sect in the cultivation world, and in the Immortal World, it is also a top Taoist force."
"These immortals you know, such as Dongdi Taiyi, Moon God, Shao Siming, the True God of the Thunder Department, Emperor Zhenwu, the Ten Kings of Hell, the Four Sea Dragon Kings, etc."
"These existences are all close friends of Shushan in the upper realm. Shushan has a wide sphere of influence and a huge network of contacts, and these immortals have a very good relationship with Shushan."
"It's hard to guarantee that they won't pay extra attention to the Shushan disciples in the lower realm, and Elder Barnabas is a Shushan elder."
"If by any chance these great beings of the Immortal World see you walking around with their names when they observe the lower realm..."
"I reckon your entire world will be wiped out with a wave of their hands."
"Therefore, try not to mention the names of these great beings casually around people from Shushan, otherwise, no one can save you."
Ying Zheng and the others looked at the Ice God, who was resting with her eyes closed, in astonishment.
Honestly, they thought the Shushan she represented was very strong, but... they really didn't expect it to be this strong!
Being invincible in the lower realm was one thing, but having such influence after going to the Immortal World?
All the great gods they could name were friends of theirs?
What kind of social circle was this!
No wonder Jin Dang and the others respected Shushan so much; this was simply a golden, thick thigh.
And the kind that would always be useful as long as one cultivated.
If one became a person of Shushan, wouldn't that mean...
everything would be easy for the rest of their lives?
Immediately, even Ying Zheng became a bit fanatical, not to mention the Yin-Yang School, which was already obsessed with cultivation.
Although cultivation was a dream, as long as they could cultivate, it was fine.
But...
The cultivation world also valued background.
Shushan was undoubtedly the strongest background king. Joining Shushan was equivalent to being noticed and protected by various gods.
Wasn't this a step to the sky?
Unfortunately...
The Ice God had no intention of communicating with them much.
567. The Ice God Preparing for Refining God and Returning to Void
The people of Great Jean were full of wild thoughts, but even the high-and-mighty Jin Dang and the others didn't dare to disturb Barnabas casually, so they dared even less to talk to her.
Even their voices were pitifully small.
The Ice God saw their restraint, so she pointed her finger, set up an array, and took out many spirit stones to start cultivating.
Refining the heart in the mortal world, the Ice God felt it was truly useful. Even though she hadn't been here long, she felt her bottleneck loosening.
Conservatively estimated, she would definitely reach the peak of Refining Qi and Transforming God when she went back.
However, the Ice God was not satisfied with this. She had inquired that Venti and Alice were also about to achieve Refining God and Returning to Void.
These days, they were preparing to cross the tribulation, plus Kevin and Fu Hua were the same.
The Ice God felt she had fallen far behind. She wanted to try, if she could pull her state of mind to a very high level in one go.
Refining God and Returning to Void, she would have no bottlenecks either.
The Spirit Gathering Array appeared, and a massive amount of spiritual energy gathered. From the outside, this mobile palace was now overflowing with precious light, and seven-colored rainbow clouds in the sky were swirling and merging into it.
This miraculous scene left countless people along the way dumbfounded, confirming the existence of cultivators and making the Great Jean soldiers even prouder.
Inside the palace, seeing the Ice God start to cultivate with her eyes closed, Jin Dang and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
But they were more or less envious.
Ying Zheng looked at the Ice God curiously. He could feel that the aura flowing around the Ice God at this time would have extended his life if he had taken a breath of it when he was younger.
So...
was this immortal energy?
So, those so-called overseas immortal mountains only became immortal mountains because immortals lived there?
A mountain need not be high; it is famous if there is an immortal...
Inexplicably, Ying Zheng understood this principle.
If the Ice God alone was like this, what about Shushan, where everyone was a cultivator?
I'm afraid even a pig could live a long life.
Feeling emotional, Ying Zheng didn't dare to think too much or look at the Ice God too much.
Instead, he looked respectfully at Xuan Chen.
"Ancestor, I wonder if you have any tasks for this descent to the lower realm? I will definitely do my best to cooperate with the power of Great Jean."
Xuan Chen patted Ying Zheng on the shoulder with satisfaction. Such a thing, with Ying Zheng's current status, even if there were a retired emperor, they wouldn't dare to do this.
But this was the ancestor, no problem.
And...
Ying Zheng actually enjoyed this feeling.
Becoming an emperor meant being a lonely man. This was the path Ying Zheng chose himself, and he didn't regret it, but...
he also longed for someone to confide in.
He also needed the care of his elders.
Although Xuan Chen looked young, he was indeed an ancestor of over thirty thousand years.
The leader of the Black Bird clan, in the Shang Dynasty, was an ancestor worshipped by the royal family.
Ying Zheng could also feel that Xuan Chen looked at him as a promising descendant, full of love in his eyes.
Ying Zheng was quite happy.
"Coming to your world this time, we are indeed here under the orders of the Sect Leader."
"The purpose is to find subordinate worlds that meet the standards for the Shushan world. Coincidentally, your world is a small thousand world, barely meeting the standards."
"Besides that, there are some private reasons."
Xuan Chen smiled and looked at Jin Dang, who nodded calmly.
"Since he is also a descendant of the Black Bird clan, he is qualified to know."
Xuan Chen nodded slightly, and many people of Great Jean perked up, looking at Xuan Chen with anticipation.
"The Shushan world is a great thousand world."
"In the future, the Sect Leader plans to develop it into a supreme cultivation world. We, the ten thousand spirits of Shushan, escaped from the original cultivation world."
"Because the current cultivation world is ravaged by the Evil Sword Immortal's Heavenly Demon Territory. You don't need to know who the Evil Sword Immortal is."
"You only need to know that if true immortals don't descend, countless worlds in the heavens and worlds will be destroyed by him. Only the Sect Leader can resist."
Xuan Chen sighed and said faintly:
"In the past, our Peng Bird clan was also a top-tier force in the cultivation world. Although we couldn't compare to top sacred lands like Shushan, we still had a say."
"Later, the Day of Dharma Destruction arrived, and all our ancestors above Refining God and Returning to Void fell. The Peng Bird clan withered from the original trillions of members to less than ten million."
"Later, because of the appearance of the Evil Sword Immortal, when we escaped the cultivation world and went to the Shushan world to seek shelter, there were less than one hundred thousand left..."
Listening to Xuan Chen's words, Ying Zheng and the others were shocked. Even existences like Xuan Chen, who were immortals in their eyes, had died so many.
The cultivation world...
didn't seem peaceful either.
"I am incompetent and cannot share the ancestor's worries. I am truly ashamed."
Ying Zheng sighed with shame. Only now did he realize how powerless a human emperor was.
Xuan Chen smiled and said softly:
"Zheng'er, don't worry. This is not something you can participate in. I told you just to give you some understanding of our current Peng Bird clan."
"Although we are not as good as before, today, in the heavens and worlds after the Day of Dharma Destruction, we are also one of the five great spirit clans second only to Shushan and the Heavenly Demon Territory."
