Now, seeing the monk’s gentle demeanor, there was not a trace left of his former martial glory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Before the Emperor’s divine might, one must maintain inner calm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Monk Yin Yue took his place beside Hong Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Xuanji’s eyes grew cold—he had intended to take Hong Yi out and punish him severely, but now, barely outside the gates, Hong Yi had already mingled with the monks of the Dachan Temple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I heard the founding Emperor of Zhou died instantly in his clash with the Emperor—without even landing a single blow?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Monk Yin Yue asked in silent transmission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Yi heard this and recalled something: the Dachan Temple had long been closely allied with the Zhou Dynasty; he looked at Yin Yue with guarded suspicion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need for such wariness.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Monk Yin Yue urged Hong Yi to relax, saying, “The founding Emperor of Zhou possessed a martial art—an ancient technique of the Great Annihilation Divine King. His fist technique embodied the most profound transformations of the body-refining lineage; the Dachan Temple recognized this, which is why it grew close to the Zhou lineage.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In ancient times, the world had five Divine Kings, each possessing the power to shatter the void, though none had attained the realm of shattering the void, and thus were sealed away by the Longsheng Emperor. The founding Emperor of Zhou, by sheer chance, inherited the Divine Annihilation Fist technique—such an opportunity was exceedingly rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Emperor could kill him without mercy, so he must already understand the Divine Annihilation Fist.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Monk Yin Yue’s tone carried awe, as if gazing upon a towering mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that the Divine Annihilation Fist was no ordinary art, Hong Yi studied Yin Yue’s expression and realized that Gu Qing’s killing of the Zhou founding Emperor had been witnessed by all—there was no secrecy to it—and said, “The Emperor killed the Zhou founding Emperor in an instant; he likely does not know the Divine Annihilation Fist.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Monk Yin Yue shook his head. “You don’t understand the Emperor. He possesses countless transformations—he sees all martial arts, all secrets. He never kills until he has fully drained a man’s value. If he killed the Zhou founding Emperor, it means the man had no value left.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Take your father, Hong Xuanji—he defied the Emperor repeatedly, yet the Emperor spared him seven times, because Hong Xuanji carries great fortune and is deeply tied to the ZaoHua Dao lineage.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Taishang Dao, the ZaoHua Dao, and the Dachan Temple are the three most ancient lineages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to Monk Yin Yue, Hong Yi glimpsed another side of the current Emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hong Xuanji follows the Emperor because the Emperor possesses certain relics of the ZaoHua Dao; thus, for years he has remained motionless in the capital. But now, as we journey south to Dalaopai, subtle changes will stir within the capital.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thirty years of silence, the Fighting Buddha Yin Yue was no longer the monk who fought fist-to-fist with all comers—his eyes now saw farther.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subtle changes will stir in the capital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Yi looked toward Hong Xuanji. The web of forces was intricate; Hong Xuanji was now contacting all sides, hoping to unite them in concerted effort to complete this mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So this was a diversion to lure the tiger away from the mountain?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Changancheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing arrived at the ZaoHua Boat and watched his son, Gu Yi, exploring the ZaoHua Boat—once a Yangshen artifact, but after centuries of brutal battles, the ZaoHua Dao had been exterminated by the Taishang Dao, and the artifact had passed through many hands before finally coming into the Yang family.\u003C\u002Fp>",801,"2026-06-20T17:04:28.193Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","68e46840e48ac1db00f2d1eb25b2c039d6aa610c88aa75ad45972d6508d9726b","living-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-chapter-438","living-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-chapter-436",449,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fliving-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-cover.jpg"]
