Chapter 581: Fear

Nine Heavens Palace, clouds rising.

The Heavenly Emperor, dressed in purple and wearing a crown, walked along the cloud corridor. Beneath his feet was rolling sea of clouds, which could not be seen to the edge, and on both sides were white jade lamp pillars, like a galaxy.

"In the last hundred years, there have often been Daoists achieving the Dao in the human world."

"Yes, if this little god remembers correctly, there have been several." The god official followed the Zi Emperor, but he was also a god with virtue and merit. Although his official position was below the Zi Emperor, he also respected the Zi Emperor. When walking, he involuntarily fell half a step behind the Zi Emperor, but he was not nodding and bowing like human officials facing the emperor, but conversing calmly. "By reason, it is not certain that there will be one in a generation for human practitioners to become immortals. It would be good to have one in a sixty-year cycle, but in the last hundred years, the strange phenomena of sunset glow are indeed somewhat common."

"What does the minister think is the reason?"

"It must be that in these hundred years, the human world has not been stable, and there have often been great disasters and chaos. Every time this happens, if there are practitioners who are willing to enter the world, there will be rewards."

"I don't think it's that simple."

"Naturally—"

The god official still walked beside the Zi Emperor, passing by white jade lamp pillars embedded with stars, thought for a while before saying:

"Originally, after the incense god path flourished, first, it occupied ninety percent of the temples in the human world, so there were more people practicing the talisman sect, and naturally fewer practicing the spiritual law sect. Second, a former Heavenly Lord did not want human practitioners to make trouble, did not want loose immortals to affect the order of the Nine Heavens spirits, and had issued an edict to collect human practice methods and suppress the spiritual law sect.

"However, the former Heavenly Lord was lazy in government...

"First, the human world was in chaos, and the talisman sect was not useful, which made the spiritual law sect emerge, and naturally more people practiced spiritual law. Second, his suppression of the spiritual law sect also relaxed. There must be Daoist temples taking this opportunity to catch their breath, or finding high-level practice methods."

"The minister is very right." The Zi Emperor nodded and smiled slightly. "However, I don't think it's that simple."

"What does the Emperor think..."

"In the last hundred years, most of the people who achieved the Dao have common points." The Zi Emperor said and turned around. "Ask the Heavenly Machine Yili Shenjun to come over, and you will know."

"Yes!"

The god official immediately turned and left.

On the top of Fengshan, there is also a wooden path, and two people are walking and talking.

"Roar!"

A giant snake rushed out from the top of the mountain, fierce and incomparable.

But if you look closely, you can see two tiny figures on its head, which are a fox and a colored cat.

The giant snake rose from the ground like a stormy sea, and quickly fell down, and in a blink of an eye, it rushed into the ground, moving quickly among the immortal trees on the top of the mountain.

A fox and a cat were playing happily.

The two ignored them and continued forward.

In the sky on the other side, the five disciples of Lin Jue and the junior sister each rode a strange horse, actually walking through the air.

This horse has a red mane, a white body, light-colored patterns on its body, and eyes that are golden and bright like gold. It not only walks on clouds, but also moves very fast, and inadvertently opens its mouth, revealing a mouth full of sharp teeth. It is clearly not a gentle and vegetarian animal like an ordinary horse.

Literary horses are fierce by nature and difficult to tame. Fortunately, Lin Jue also has a magical power called Gathering Beasts and Adjusting Birds.

After playing seventeen games of chess, he won six.

Including his four disciples and one Ziyun, he gave the remaining one to Lord Luo, which could not only make him miss the days of galloping horses and raising spears, but also bring him the ability to ride the wind and step on the clouds.

And with six literary horses, Lin Jue specially picked two males and four females, and if they were cultivated properly, they could produce the next generation.

Family wealth is accumulated slowly like this.

"With this giant snake guarding, the demons with ulterior motives in the mountain finally don't dare to steal immortal fruits at will, and we don't need to guard them anymore." Lord Luo's voice came from the side, very young.

"Save a lot of worry."

When Lin Jue looked at Lord Luo, he saw a young warrior.

That brow and eye are really familiar, exactly like when they first met.

Lin Jue had brought back Red Spring water from the Yuanqiu Immortal Realm. This old man was still a bit stubborn, saying that his age was indeed old, and that youth would not return. He persuaded him several times before he was willing to drink it. When he woke up and restored his youthful appearance, he stood in front of the mirror for a long time, looking and looking, touching and touching.

Even the young clothes he hadn't worn for many years were found by him and put on again.

As for all people in the world, regardless of gender, whether they are beauties or warriors, who would not wish for their youth to remain forever?

"Lord Luo, remember to wear the Longevity Token well," Lin Jue reminded him. "Your original lifespan, added to the Yuanqiu Fruit, has already reached its end. If you do not wish to die early, you can only rely on this Longevity Token of mine."

"This is the original ability of the Wang Mu of the West, isn't it?"

"Yes, but now it is mine," Lin Jue said as he walked. "However, Lord Luo, rest assured. The vitality and lifespan of the Wang Mu of the West in those years were taken from the common people and living creatures, so they were stained with filth and impurities. My vitality and lifespan are taken from the heaven, earth, nature, and myself, so while there is less of it than hers, it is purer and harmless."

"Hmm..."

Lord Luo nodded and sighed again.

He had a bright mirror in his heart and was also a person who did not like to regret, but people are inherently contradictory, and often have completely opposite thoughts in their hearts.

Therefore, he knew that his original choice was correct, and he also knew that a founding emperor of the human world, apart from his short life, was not inferior to any divine being. Even during his reign, he could contend with the Heavenly Emperor. Many extraordinary True Lords and divine beings in heaven might have their incense and even their existence governed by him, and he had an even greater influence on the country, the society, and the livelihood of the people. But he still could not help but think: if he had not become emperor back then, and had not wasted those years due to government affairs, and had entered the Dao through martial arts and continued to cultivate, would he also be an extraordinary Husheng Husheng Zhenjun and Martial Yili Shenjun at this time?

Of course, these were just fleeting distracting thoughts.

Lord Luo's heart settled down, and he soon asked again: "Daoist Tao has returned to the mountain, so why hasn't Lord Cai returned yet?"

Wan Xinrong had returned to Mount Feng before Lin Jue went to Mount Feilai; he was very confident and had already found the path to becoming a True One. Daoist Tao returned while Lin Jue was at Mount Feilai; he was somewhat weathered and dejected, saying that his opportunity and talent were insufficient, and it seemed he had chosen to give up.

Only Cai Lingyu was still drifting alone outside.

"People have different natures, and he also has his own thoughts and pride. Let him drift outside," Lin Jue shook his head. "Perhaps one day he will find the path to becoming a True One and return, or perhaps he won't find it, and like Daoist Tao, he will accept his fate and return. If he truly doesn't return, when his lifespan is about to end, ask Lord Wan to invite him. I can still share some vitality and lifespan with him."

"Hmm..."

"These people are really something. With me here, even if they cannot become immortals, living a few hundred more years is no problem."

"People have different natures, and he also has his own thoughts and pride," Lord Luo used the same words to answer him. "Perhaps they also want to help and repay you."

"Maybe..."

Lin Jue paused as he spoke and suddenly looked into the distance.

A little person was driving a carriage and rushing over.

The little person was only a few inches tall, looking like the legendary Jiaojiao, or like the rat spirit he had encountered in Hei County, only without a tail. It was dressed in yellow clothes and a yellow hat, driving a yellow carriage. The horse pulling the carriage was also yellow and about the size of a palm, looking quite interesting.

"Qingji..."

Almost at the same time, a huge snake head poked out from the top of the mountain again. A cat and a fox stood on the snake head, and all three pairs of eyes were staring at this little person.

This giant snake was indeed vigilant.

"A letter!"

The little person drove the carriage and stopped in the air in front of Lin Jue, flipped off the carriage, and dragged out a letter from the carriage that was much larger than himself, handing it to Lin Jue.

This was the letter-delivering spirit official of Lord Yi Li.

It was probably the same role as Chen Niu.

"Thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard work! I must go; I cannot be seen by others!" the little person said, and immediately drove the carriage away!

"Sent by Daoist Jiang?" Lord Luo asked.

"Probably."

Lin Jue nodded while opening the letter.

A piece of regular script in hairpin style, the fragrance of ink wafted over.

It probably stated one serious matter:

In the last hundred years, far more people in the human world have become True Ones and attained the Dao than usual, which has aroused the vigilance of the Purple Emperor. After investigation, it was found that most of them have a relationship with Lin Jue.

"The Purple Emperor is already wary of you, fellow Daoist, so please be careful.

"Respectfully presenting this, first to inform you."

Lin Jue finished reading the last sentence and then put away the letter paper.

It was indeed as the Sixth Third Third Shixiong said—

As his own Dao practice improves, his fellow disciples attain the Dao one after another, and with some arrangements, it will inevitably attract the attention of the Purple Emperor sooner, which may lead to the early arrival of Lord Fuchi.

This is unavoidable.

But there is no need to be overly worried.

Even if the Purple Emperor takes action against Fuyao early, it has not reached the present yet, and just at this very moment, the power on his side is already much greater than what was deduced by Lord Tianweng.

It is he himself who is truly running forward; the Purple Emperor is merely moved a little by the wind stirred up when his side started running.

"Lord Luo, let us go back too."

"Hmm..."

Lord Luo could also guess a little.

Daoist Jiang often comes to Mount Feng to chat with Lin Jue and Daoist Liu, but today she had Qingji write a letter instead of coming in person; it must be an unusual matter, fearing being seen by divine beings.

The two walked down along the corridor passage.

Lin Jue returned directly to the pavilion.

He also took two envelopes.

However, there was no need to spread paper and pick up a pen; instead, after thinking for a moment, he reached out and pinched, and two points of light were held in his hand, like fireflies, which he cast into the two envelopes.

It was not a reply to Daoist Jiang, because she had already said at the end of the letter that she would visit later, and whatever words there were could be said in person.

"Fuyao."

"Ying?"

"Never mind, Xu Yi, Pumei."

"Master..."

The two junior fellow apprentices happened to return riding the literary horses and stopped outside the balcony.

"Deliver two letters for me. Send one to the Sixth Third Shixiong Uncle, right, and by the way, bring two 'Longevity Tokens' for me," Lin Jue handed a letter to Xu Yi and another to Pumei. "Send the other one to the cave dwelling of Jun Niangniang Yao Hua in Qingyan County. Remember, the one living inside is not Jun Niangniang Yao Hua herself; please ask it to convey the message to Jun Niangniang Yao Hua."

"Understood."

"This matter is of great importance. Do not ride the literary horses; drive the thunder clouds. Go quickly and return quickly; do not delay."

"Okay!"

The two immediately summoned the thunder clouds and rode the clouds away.

Only the fox remained, tilting its head and staring at Lin Jue.
